Amid the jubilation of the soldiers, Liu Deng went back to his room to catch up on his sleep.
I slept so late last night and woke up early today. At this time, I really feel a little dizzy.
Anyway, the things that need to be done have been given. When the food is collected in two days, all problems will naturally be solved.
Using the lives of these four tainted officials in exchange for the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people, Liu Deng felt that this deal was still okay.
Anyway, now that the situation has been decided, what can these officials do? Do they dare to raise the flag to rebel again?
If they really did this, I'm afraid they would have been tied to the Yamen to be exchanged for money before the flag was raised.
Two days later, when the genius had just dawned, Tian Suning was already kneeling in front of the inn with a long motorcade and three officials.
"Your Majesty, they brought the food!"
After Du Ziteng heard the news, he rushed out personally. After checking the food in the car, he went to report to Liu Deng.
"How much food did you get in total?"
Liu Deng asked casually while drinking tea.
"Report to your Majesty, they have obtained a total of fifteen thousand shi of food!"
Du Ziteng said in surprise.
"Assuming that they are wise, tell them that I am not in the mood to see them today, and let them take the motorcade to go to their posts as soon as possible! I have two letters here. Find someone to send this one to Chang'an immediately and hand it over to the Prime Minister. Send this letter to Sihai Trading Company!"
While Liu Deng was speaking, he took out two envelopes from his sleeves and put them on the table.
"promise!"
After Du Ziteng left, Liu Deng slowly threw all the papers with writing on the table into the brazier one by one.
In just these two days, Liu Deng seemed to suddenly understand.
This guy Xu Yin didn't appear out of thin air. After all, he was so powerful.
If there really was such a person in the Han Dynasty, how could I know nothing about it? Even if he knew nothing, how could Zhang Tu not know anything at all.
In addition, this Sihai Trading Company suddenly appeared and acted against itself so suddenly.
Things have become obvious. It seems that this Sihai Trading Company should have an unusual relationship with Xu Yin.
Behind the Sihai Trading Company was King Dongou, and Xu Yin was Xu Fu's son. Xu Fu was good at sailing, and he used the known things to predict the unknown, and the rest was clear.
Xu Fu traveled east to Japan, and coupled with the stories Xu Yin told himself, some of Xu Fu's men were able to reach South America safely and then return smoothly.
What does this mean?
No matter how many bloody betrayals were involved in their process, as long as they completed this voyage, it meant that they had accumulated a lot of navigation knowledge.
In addition, Liu Deng's impression was the Maritime Silk Road formed during the Qin and Han Dynasties.
Xu Fu is the national counselor of the Qin Dynasty, and Zhao Tuo is the general of the Qin Dynasty. If there is such a relationship, Zhao Tuo may also have a hand in them.
This is what Liu Deng has figured out in the past two days. It seems that he is not just facing a mysterious Xu Yin.
Behind him, there were probably the King of Nanyue and King Dongou. As for whether the King of Fujian and Guangdong was involved, Liu Deng needed further verification.
After thinking about these things, Liu Deng became full of fighting spirit.
Anyway, they don't dare to use swords and guns to fight with themselves with real swords and guns, they are just playing these little tricks that are not on the table.
When it comes to playing business, even though I don’t specialize in finance, but if I want to play with them, isn’t it the same as bullying kids in kindergarten?
The entire Han Dynasty was completely unified during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Originally, Liu Deng had no intention of doing such a thing. After all, it would be thankless and might arouse suspicion.
But now, since they bared their teeth at him in advance, it's no wonder that he handed the knife to them.
Liu Deng's current situation was really embarrassing. In order not to arouse unnecessary suspicion, he wrote a memorial in advance about what he encountered in Buqi City and had it sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
On the one hand, this is an endorsement of his actions, and on the other hand, it is also a way to let the wealthy locals in Chang'an City have nothing to do all day long.
After all, no one knows better than Liu Deng how profitable maritime trade is. This is a profit ten to a hundred times.
Shipping Chinese silk and porcelain to the West is simply a sky-high price.
The agates, ivory, spices, and wine brought back from the West were also priceless treasures after arriving in Chang'an.
With such a big piece of cake, let alone the wealthy locals in Chang'an City.
Even if all the dignitaries from all over Seoul are brought in, this huge market may not be satisfied.
However, there is a premise for all this. If you want to get the ticket, the first thing you need to do is to deal with the unlucky guy Xu Yin.
Just to see if he had the so-called aura of a human king, this kid actually went crazy and almost killed people all over the city.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard for Liu Deng to believe how there could be such a lunatic in this world!
"Your Majesty, everything is ready, we can set off!"
About an hour later, when Liu Deng was in a daze, Du Ziteng gently knocked on the door and said outside the door.
"knew!"
After pouring the remaining cup of tea on the table into the paper ashes, Liu Deng once again looked at the place where he had lived for a few days. He turned around and left and got on the carriage.
Liu Deng actually knew very well in his heart that if the imperial court didn't seize the time to send people to manage it, it wouldn't be long before Jimo City would become the next Buqi County.
Liu Deng was really curious as to why the big boss behind Sihai Trading Company had such courage.
Even if there is really the Dongou royal family behind him, but now, his hand has reached into the heart of the Han Dynasty. Isn't he afraid that the Emperor of Han will be angry and directly raze the Dongou Kingdom to the ground?
"Shopkeeper, His Highness the Acting King sent someone to deliver a letter!"
Fang BuTong was originally checking the accounts in the store, but when he heard the waiter say this, he immediately put down his calculations.
"They should leave today, right?"
Fang BuTong asked casually while looking at the letter in his hand.
"We just set out this morning, bringing with us nearly a hundred grain trucks, estimated to cost 13,000 to 4,000 dan!"
The boy lowered his voice and said.
"What can we do with just this little food? Tell our people to add fuel to the fire of His Majesty the King and drive all the hungry people from the nearby counties to Buqi County!"
There was a sneer on Fang BuTong's lips. Ten thousand shi of food could only solve an urgent need!
As long as Liu Deng couldn't think of a way to solve the livelihood problems of these old, weak, women and children, he would have to keep supporting these people.
This burden will only become heavier as time goes by, and this will be the last straw for him!
