บท 632: Mutual Schemes

"Those Shatu people are cheap bastards. Treat them well, they'll act all high and mighty or even go as far as to backstab you. Now that you've exterminated the Tuli Tribe and hung their severed heads on the walls of White Stone Pass, they came bearing generous gifts instead! Liqiang, look at all these rhino horns, antlers, gems, and jadeites… They're all of the highest quality! Especially these gems! If all of these and the twenty thousand taels of gold are exchanged into silver, they're worth probably more than thirty taels of silver…! Hehehe, damn they sure are rich…!"

Qian Su, who was responsible for finances in the Protectorate General's Office, was looking at the opened boxes with Yan Liqiang in the storage room. Inside the boxes were the generous gifts that Sushali had delivered on behalf of the Shatu Seven Tribes.
