Chapter 188 Reaping the Profits
Chapter 188 Reaping the Profits
Meng, the guardian of the Tianshen Sect, felt that it would take a lot of effort for them to buy things from Nanyue. After all, wars were fought over these things, and everyone would regard food, fodder and weapons as if they were the apples of their eyes.
Take the Tianqi court for example. Even though they had such a large business, they still did not allow private individuals to sell these things. Originally, grain could be bought and sold, but since many places have suffered from droughts in the past two years, grain has been hard to come by. It is either extremely expensive or no one is selling it.
As for salt and weapons, it goes without saying that they were strictly controlled and only some people designated by the court could sell them. If you were caught selling them secretly, you would be sent to jail or even beheaded.
"Protector Meng, do you think Master Luo will sell the things to us?" In an inn in the capital city of Nanyue Prefecture, the deputy envoy who came with him was very unsure.
"We tried to buy from other rebel kings before, but none of them were willing to sell. I think Nanyue will definitely not be willing to sell either."
Dharma Protector Meng was worried about this matter.
"I think he would be willing, right?" he said uncertainly.
"You've seen along the way that the people in the places governed by Master Luo are all well-off and prosperous. To put it bluntly..."
He looked around and saw that they were the only two people in the room, so he lowered his voice and said, "Although our Tianshen Sect claims to save the people from danger, our ability to govern the place is far inferior to that of this Luo Da leader."
Governance of the place?
When did their Tianshen religion ever govern?
The deputy envoy had a clear mind. Who wouldn't rebel for their own future wealth and glory? No matter how many slogans they shouted, they all aimed to rule the country.
Otherwise, who would be willing to do this thing of killing nine generations of a clan?
"The head of Luo is a woman. Women are considerate and soft-hearted. They can't bear to see others suffer, so they should be nicer to the people." said the deputy envoy.
Guardian Meng was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what he meant: "That's right."
Women in power are different from men.
Suddenly, his expression changed: "Oh no!"
"What?" The deputy envoy was startled.
Dharma Protector Meng's face was extremely ugly at this time: "Woman... Saint! How could I forget about this?"
He slapped his thigh in annoyance: "This Luo Da boss was once a saint girl in Yang Erlang's place, and the two sides even fought to the death. Yang Erlang even died in the hands of Luo Xi and Jiuxian."
The deputy envoy also remembered. His eyes widened and he collapsed on the chair, muttering, "It's over. It's really over now. Forget buying food. Will she just kill us all?"
"I heard that this woman is scary when she gets angry."
"Or, let's just run away now and not buy any food or weapons," the deputy envoy suggested.
Really, why didn’t they think of this earlier? Now they’re just giving away their lives.
"Run? Are you going to die?" Guardian Meng said in fear, "Don't forget, the leader is not someone who is easy to talk to. Don't die without knowing how."
The deputy envoy wilted instantly.
Finally, the two of them had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to the county magistrate's office to submit the invitation. What they didn't expect was that Nanyue not only agreed, but also did not make things difficult for them at all. The price was also reasonable. As for the matter of the saint, he didn't even mention it.
The deputy envoy and the Dharma protector Meng: "???!!!"
what's the situation?
Don’t the people of Nanyue know that Yang Erlang is a member of the Tianshen Sect?
They returned in a daze, pulling cartloads of stuff back like this.
"Master Si, why did you sell it to them so readily?" Rong Bai was very unhappy as he watched the convoy leaving.
"Don't forget, when the eldest boss first built Chaoyang Villa, he and the ninth floor master almost died at the hands of this damned Tianshen Sect. They are not good people."
"According to the boss, this damn Celestial God Cult has deceived many women into becoming saints, but in fact they are giving them away to other forces to seek benefits."
Si Jia stood upright on the roadside in a white robe, handsome and spotless: "They are indeed not good people, but they can hold back the Apocalypse army for us."
He smiled faintly: "As for us, we only need to provide some material assistance and we can reap the benefits. Why not do it?"
Rong Bai was stunned for a moment and silently took two steps to the side.
He looks like a god, pure and innocent, but how could he be so scheming?
No wonder the boss was so confident in entrusting all the affairs of Nanyue to him and Yin Li.
Each one is black sesame glutinous rice balls!
On the other side, Xiao He was waiting there, hoping that the war with the Heavenly God Sect would end, and then he would pull his army over to block the attack of Luo Xi and his men. However, day after day passed, he saw the counties being lost one after another.
He could no longer sit still, and quickly asked someone to ask the reason. He found out that the other party had actually bought back a lot of food, fodder and weapons from Nanyue, which immediately turned the situation around.
Due to the advantage in weapons, Yuwen Hao's side suffered defeat several times, not to mention destroying the Tianshen Sect.
Xiao He: “???”
No wonder no news was sent to him, it turned out that he had lost the battle.
"Someone, go and block the road between the two places. We can't let Luo Xi and his men transport any more goods."
An official present glanced at Xiao He and reminded him, "My Lord, you forgot that Luo Xi's army has already opened up the northwest except for the Celestial God Sect. Now the two forces are connected and we can't stop them."
Xiao He: "..."
He was so angry that his eyes widened: "Are we just going to watch Luo Xi attack the capital?"
All the officials in the court bowed their heads.
In fact, they felt that even if General Yuwen called back the army, they might not be able to win, not to mention that the other side was now led by Le Zheng Feiyuan and Xia Zhong.
Because the war was a great success, Luo Xi handed over the leadership of her team to Xia Zhong, and she herself returned to Nanyue Prefecture.
One of them is a famous young general, and the other is from the military. Both of them are famous for their ability to fight. Coupled with the constant supply of supplies and the support of the people of the world, it is really difficult for Tianqi to win.
Moreover, His Majesty the present...has this attitude again!
Thinking of this, many ministers became disheartened. After returning from the meeting, many of them began to pack up their things, sneaked out of the capital with their families in the middle of the night, and found a place to hide. Compared with being an official, life is more important.
By the time Xiao He discovered it, most of the court ministers had already left, and the only ones still standing here were his diehard followers.
There was a hint of unwillingness in Xiao He's eyes.
It seems that this is the only way.
A few days later, an unexpected person came to the county magistrate's office.
"What did you say? Surrender?" Luo Xi looked at the Apocalypse envoy standing in the middle of the hall as if he had seen a ghost, and for a moment he thought that Xiao He was out of his mind.
