Let's just drift through life together in this quick transmigration story.

After Cui Haoyu realized what was happening, he wasn't in a hurry to leave. He frantically pounded on Xiong Bufan's door, saying, "Boss Xiong, if you're not satisfied, we can talk again. Don't kick me out!"

If the army were to enter the capital, it would be impossible to keep it a secret from the bandits outside the city. Besides, the toll booths that earn hundreds of taels of silver a day also make Cui Haoyu envious.

With several hundred taels of silver every day, Cui Haoyu could do many things.

Xiong Bufan sat angrily in the room and said to 002, "Is he trying to get something for nothing?"

"Yes, if you're unhappy, I'll kill them all."

Xiong Bufan: "Killing is bad; killing people will prevent you from ascending to immortality."

Qiao Yujie looked at Cui Haoyu, who was frantically banging on the door, and knew that he had pushed him to the limit this time. Usually, Cui Haoyu was aloof, noble, and domineering, with a fan-shaped expression on his face that was three parts mockery, three parts indifference, and four parts nonchalance.

However, as long as they are not thrown out of the house, they still have a chance.

Qiao Yujie pulled the agitated Cui Haoyu back and shouted into the room, "From today onwards, all personnel of Da Cai Zhai will receive a 10% increase in their monthly salary."

With so many people in Da Cai Zhai, a 10% increase wouldn't be a small amount. Xiong Bufan rushed out of the house, grabbed Qiao Yujie, and went back inside. Cui Haoyu quickly followed him in.

Xiong Bufan put Qiao Yujie down, adjusted her collar, and then took out a golden abacus, saying kindly, "Will my wages also increase by 10%?"

"No price increase."

"It would be great if other staff members could also get a raise. Let's continue discussing how much silver should be used as the base amount."

Qiao Yujie: "Raising wages is fine too. The staff at the toll station will be replaced with Haoyu's people, and we'll split the toll station's profits in half. Once Haoyu's grand plan succeeds, I'll bestow upon you the title of Princess Anping."

Kongkong quickly said, "Bufan, promise her, promise her."

Although Xiong Bufan didn't know why Kongkong was suddenly so excited, he still obediently said, "Okay, I agree, but the staff's monthly salary will increase by 20%."

"it is good."

Even so, Qiao Yujie still profited from this deal. Cui Haoyu's face turned red with excitement. Looking at Qiao Yujie, he was filled with gratitude. With such a wife, what more could a husband ask for?

Cui Haoyu: "When will the personnel replacement be arranged?"

Xiong Bufan: "Tomorrow, but every transaction must be recorded. Our people need to check the ledger regularly. The rest can be arranged by the second-in-command."

Qiao Yujie and Cui Haoyu were both smiling. Although they didn't know why Xiong Bufan had suddenly agreed, this matter was ultimately beneficial to them, so they quickly agreed, "Okay."

After arranging all this, Xiong Bufan lost the desire to continue communicating with them. She directly kicked Cui Haoyu, Qiao Yujie, and 002 out the door, telling them to discuss it among themselves. She wanted to have a proper conversation with Kongkong.

002 looked at the two men with malice. He would strive to secure the greatest benefits for Da Cai Zhai. The royal family members were all bad; they only knew how to deceive and rob.

After everyone left, Kongkong began to explain: "Bufan, the Heavenly Dao just contacted me and said that we should help its daughter, Qiao Yujie, become empress and eventually become a female emperor, thus beginning the life of a great female protagonist."

It said that if we do this, they will give us a gift when we leave this world.

"What kind of gift is it? Is it expensive?"

Kongkong wanted to roll his eyes at Xiong Bufan's ignorance, "The things that Heaven bestows are rare and precious, and cannot be measured by worldly money."

"Alright," Xiong Bufan began to look forward to what the Heavenly Dao would send. This Heavenly Dao really doted on its daughter, even going so far as to beg outsiders for help.

002 spent most of his time hanging out with Xiong Bufan, either eating, drinking, having fun, or robbing people. He never managed to gain any advantage over Qiao Yujie and Cui Haoyu.

Xiong Bufan looked at the sullen 002 and said, "Let's go back and rob those guys guarding the toll booths; they're very rich."

002: "If we only rob one, the money might be a little small. Let's rob a few more."

"it is good."

Xiong Bufan allows people to embezzle under his nose, but those who embezzle must bear the consequences. The consequence is that when Xiong Bufan is in a bad mood, he will randomly rob one of them, beat him up, and hang him at the entrance of the lobby as a warning to others!

Early the next morning, Cui Haoyu disguised himself and brought dozens of people to Xiong Bufan to pay the toll station. Xiong Bufan still didn't give him a good look, but he still took 002 to the station for the handover. If anyone caused trouble or was unhappy, Xiong Bufan wouldn't mind robbing them on the spot and making them suffer the wrath of losing his property.

At first, the people at the tollbooth were not happy to stay in one place every day, cook their own meals, and earn a meager monthly salary, nor did they have any pretty girls. Many of them wanted to move on to other places, to work in the city or in the mountain villages.

However, after a month, the group realized the benefits. The leader set a fixed toll, but they could ask for more. Merchants brought local specialties from other places, and wealthy families brought silver or paintings. As long as the amount was small, no one would care. But little by little, in a little over a year, each of them bought a large house in the capital outright.

So when Cui Haoyu led his men over, they even pulled out knives and blocked the tollbooth, saying, "This tollbooth belongs to Da Cai Zhai. You'd better leave quickly, or our boss won't let you get away with this."

Xiong Bufan hid behind the crowd and remained silent, while 002 looked around, pretending not to see what was happening ahead. He agreed to give them the tollbooth, but also wanted to make things difficult for them, otherwise they would really think that Da Caizhai was easy to bully.

Cui Haoyu pulled Xiong Bufan to the front of the group, "Boss, please say something."

Dozens of eyes were fixed on Xiong Bufan. Xiong Bufan said, "Give them to them, and I'll arrange other jobs for you."

The people of Da Cai Zhai were in an uproar, all talking at once: "Boss, why should we?"

"Yeah, why should we? This is something we worked so hard to build, and we're just going to give it away to someone else for nothing?"

"Boss, this is not fair."

……

Fearing that Xiong Bufan would get angry if they said anything more, 002 quickly reassured them, "Quiet down, the boss has given everyone a 20% raise, and arrangements have been made for everyone to work elsewhere."

The crowd seemed to become even more restless, with some even starting to oppose Xiong Bufan becoming the leader. They had only earned money for two days and had no idea of ​​their own worth or Xiong Bufan's fighting prowess.

Xiong Bufan didn't tolerate them. He directly knocked them down and hung them at the entrance of the toll station. When the wind blew, they swayed. 002 was afraid that they would disturb Xiong Bufan, so he stuffed their mouths with dry grass. Cui Haoyu looked at the hanging men with a bad expression, obviously thinking of some bad memories - smoked cured meat.

The people hanging by the door looked like the ugly cats who had hanged themselves, twisting and turning wildly, "Waaah, waaah."

Cui Haoyu awkwardly laughed and said to Xiong Bufan, "Thank you, Boss Xiong."

Xiong Bufan didn't bother with formalities and said directly to 002, "Let's go, take these people with you."

The men were taken down, and 002 tied them up and strung them together before leaving in front of the crowd.
