MTL - Looking After a Battle God With Hundreds of Billions in Supplies-Chapter 479 Gold Medal

  Chapter 479 Death Free Gold Medal

"Your Excellency, you don't need to ask the Duke to do anything. You just need to bring him out to let them know that there is a big man like Duke Jing behind you. If Duke Jing can protect you, then you are still the owner of Los Angeles. , do they still dare to offend?"

  Wei Zhongming felt that what Zhou Xiangrong said was reasonable, but he hadn't thought of it before. As for how to convince those merchants that he still had a backer like Duke Jing, that was up to him.

   "Let Miss Zhou bother."

  Zhou Xiangrong said softly: "My lord, don't worry, neither the emperor nor the empress will take your life."

  Wei Zhongming's complexion changed again, and he began to look at Zhou Xiangrong again. How could a young woman understand these secrets?

   "What purpose does Miss Zhou have, just say it."

"My little girl doesn't want anything, but I heard that Los Angeles is rich in cotton, and my little girl won't be favored by her elders at home, so she wants to run some disciples to save herself a way out, but the cotton business in Los Angeles is now in the hands of the He family. Here, if the lord can give this business to the little girl, the little girl can ensure that the lord's life is safe."

  How could Wei Zhongming get the idea that Zhou Xiangrong was playing Cotton.

Luocheng is indeed rich in cotton. It can be said that at least one-third of the cotton in the entire Chu Kingdom is produced in Luocheng, and the cotton here is of high quality. If you can grasp this industry, you will have a steady stream of money flowing into your pocket in the future.

   Zhou Xiangrong's appetite is big enough for making such a request.

"Think about it, my lord. If this thing can be done, we will be grasshoppers on a rope from now on. Take ten thousand steps back and say, after you are dismissed from office, my lord, the little girl can keep you rich and honored for the rest of your life. Looking at the whole of Los Angeles, except for the little girl , Who else can you trust, my lord? While your official position is still there, get things done quickly, otherwise it will be too late when the queen and the others come to their senses and notice the matter of cotton."

  After Zhou Xiangrong left, Wei Zhongming sat on the teacher's chair for a long time without saying a word.

  He was thinking about her words. Now the imperial court is focusing on the drought, and has not thought of cotton, which is a major source of income for Los Angeles.

Due to the drought this year, the production and harvest of cotton has been much lower than in previous years, which has also raised the price of cotton. Originally, he planned to hand over this batch of cotton to those people like in previous years, but now he has to reconsider Where is the cotton.

   "Housekeeper."

  The housekeeper who was guarding the door heard the movement and opened the door to enter the room, "What are your orders?"

   "You go to deliver a letter to the He family, and say that Lord Yasukuni has sent a letter to this official to protect this official, asking him to prepare 5,000 bags of grain tonight and send it to my private house on East Street tomorrow morning."

The housekeeper buzzed his lips hesitantly. The last time he went back to the He family, he only sent two hundred bags of grain. Although it was the most among all the merchants, the difference between the two hundred bags and the five thousand bags was not a little bit. Why is the He family willing to pay so much money at this time?

   "My lord, this..."

   "You don't have to say anything, just do it."

   "Yes, little one, let's go there in person."

"kindness."

  The next day, Wei Zhongming waited until noon, but the He family did not deliver a single bag of food.

  Wei Zhongming clenched his fists tightly, as if making up his mind, someone called Zhou Xiangrong over.

  As soon as Zhou Xiangrong entered the room, Wei Zhongming immediately closed the study door.

   "If I agree to your request, how can you guarantee that I will not die?" Although Xiao Jin said that he would intercede with the queen for him after getting the food, but he didn't dare to believe anyone until there was no definite result.

  Zhou Xiangrong took out a purse from his body and opened it, inside was a golden medal.

   "This is the death-preventing gold medal given to the ancestors by the late emperor. There is only one such piece in this world. If the emperor really wants to give Master Wei the death penalty, the little girl will take out the death-preventing gold medal and intercede for him."

  Wei Zhongming didn't expect Zhou Xiangrong to have this thing. He took the gold medal and looked at it in his hand. The heavy weight of the gold medal made it clear that it was not a fake.

  Holding the gold medal tightly, he made the final decision, "Okay, I promise you that I will sell you that batch of cotton."

  Zhou Xiangrong slightly raised the corners of his lips to reveal an elegant smile, "Don't worry, my lord, the little girl will not disappoint you."

  The cotton collected by the government is sold uniformly by the government, but it is up to the government to decide who to sell to.

  Wei Zhongming sold cotton to Zhou Xiangrong, as long as she can afford the money, there is nothing wrong with this matter.

  The two were worried that Ye Chang would have many dreams, so Zhou Xiangrong immediately asked Wei Zhongming to sign a sales contract with her, but when it was delivered, it was another person who received the money, but it was not a problem when the money was in hand.

After settling the matter of cotton, Wei Zhongming brought those merchants here again. He first used the handle they had left in his hands to threaten him, and then moved out Lord Yasukuni to suppress the market for him. It was difficult for those merchants to distinguish what he said True or false, but the fact that he was held by Wei Zhongming is indeed true.

  Before their ambiguous attitude was to see if Wei Zhongming would fight them to the death, after all, Wei Zhongming was also involved in it.

   It wasn't until a merchant was captured by the officials that night that they were really afraid. On the third morning, they honestly delivered the food to the place designated by Wei Zhongming.

Having collected enough food, Wei Zhongming licked his face and ran to Xiao Jin, "My lord, I searched all the people I could ask for, and finally got all the food together. Let's see if you can come to your mother Do you want an accurate word for the subordinate?"

Xiao Jin raised his eyelids coldly and looked at him, "Master Wei is indeed a capable person. The food that can only be collected by one person in the court, Mr. Wei collected it in less than three days, and I will do what I say. Your life, I have saved it for you."

  Received Xiao Jin's assurance, Wei Zhongming secretly exhaled, "Thank you, my lord."

  Xiao Jin took people there and transported all the grain to the spare granary.

In other words, the food in Los Angeles is enough to last for a few months now. If the drainage channel on the Nanjiang side can be completed, it should be possible to start construction before the Chinese New Year. You can also go to the city to buy food, and the business in the city will be restored by then.

  The people from the Ministry of Industry also rushed to arrive a few days later.

  When those people were brought to Su Ying, they were too shocked to speak.

  They have seen Su Ying before, and they absolutely believe that the person in front of them is the real queen.

   What a miracle, the Empress is actually still alive!

   "The empress and phoenix are safe and sound, it is really the blessing of the emperor, it is the luck of my Chu country!"
