Strengthening starts from the county magistrate

Chapter 457 A Gentleman Takes a Kickback!

Shen Mu left after saying a word.

At this moment, everyone was stunned on the spot.

From everyone's point of view, this condition is really a bit greedy.

Originally, when everyone came here at the beginning, they had already made sufficient mental preparations, guessing that Shen Mu would open his mouth like a lion and ask for a very high price.

Even if it is high-priced incense money and gold money, this is acceptable.

However, what they didn't expect was that Shen Mu actually wanted their transportation fortress port.

Although there are not many ferries that can stop broadcasting at Yuncang Port in Dali.

But that was also a transportation hub along with other dynasties.

There are even two ferry routes that fly from Yuncang Port to other continents in Human World.

"Your Majesty! The Shenmu lioness opened her mouth, we absolutely cannot agree!"

"Such a traffic fortress is very important to my Dali, and it will affect Dali's luck."

"That's right, Your Majesty, why don't we take a long-term view, could it be that I can't live without his Shenmu's vitality rice and elixir?"

"I don't believe it, we can't find a comparable elixir and vitality rice!"

"The old man is willing to go to North Cangzhou, and to talk to the current farmer Shennong, maybe there will be a better result."

"Shen Mu's ambition is not small. The current situation of Fengjiang City really needs to open up the transportation hub. Yuncang Port is indeed the best location, so we can't give it to him."

Song Zhenque looked at the crowd and said slowly.

"It's fine to go to Bei Cangzhou, but can you be sure that this Shennong can grow nearly 50 times the vitality rice?"

"This……"

After Song Zhenque finished asking, everyone below fell silent.

To be honest, if the increase is several times, they have this kind of confidence, because the farmer must have such strength.

But an increase of 50 times, such an exaggerated figure, no one can guarantee it.

The world is outrageous, Shenmu is alone.

And even if Shennong found the peasant family, it is not certain whether he will be willing to join the war between your two dynasties.

After all, they are located in North Cangzhou, far away from Dongzhou.

And the time to go back and forth is also costly.

Maybe tomorrow's Nanjing army will attack directly.

Everyone talked to each other, and they couldn't discuss a result until the end.

Song Zhenque looked at Gu Shouzhi.

"Mr. Gu, do you have any other opinions? Yuncang Port is still very important to us in Dali. I know that you have a good friendship with that Shenmu. Can you let him change to another bargaining chip? As long as it is reasonable, I will Li must agree."

Gu Shouzhi, who had been silent all this time, stepped forward slowly, then cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, distant water can't save you from near thirst. The Dali Dynasty can't afford it now. We don't have time to go to Bei Cangzhou. Secondly, no matter what kind of request Shen Mu puts forward , I think the result is the same.”

"how do I say this?"

"The development of Fengjiang requires a transportation hub, and Dali needs to win this war and survive. In fact, this choice is the same as when you gave up Fengjiang City. On the one hand, there are unknown interests. On the one hand, it threatens my safety, so I think His Majesty should be aware of the trade-off between these two.

Yuncang Port is important, but I don’t think it’s worth mentioning for the victory in the war. We can all do without the blessed land. A Yuncang Port is actually very cost-effective in exchange for the victory of Dali and the safety of the people. "

After Song Zhenque finished speaking.

The faces of the other ministers were not very good-looking.

An old man stepped forward and pointed at Gu and said, "Shouzhi, what do you mean by this? Are you really suggesting that I give up Yuncang Port?"

"Gu Shouzhi, what you said is actually a bit far-fetched. Don't forget, he will also face the threat of the Nanjing Dynasty when he seals the border!"

"That's right. Moreover, if he provides us with vitality rice, we can really win? And if we lose, he will also run away! To put it bluntly, we have the same boat, so he has no reason not to give it to us!"

"Yeah, he doesn't really want to die, and then die with us, right?"

"I don't believe he really dared to do that."

At this time, everyone in Dali said one after another.

Gu Shouzhi didn't change his face, he said with a smile: "My lords, are you confused? Could it be that what you saw all the way here is fake? You should see the big four-elephant formation around here." ?
Have you ever seen the rocks used for the city wall?

The city gate is the city gate of the ancient Great Zhou Dynasty, and the defense is amazing!
Xue Jingkang came to Fengjiang the night before, and you have seen the result.

Adding all these together, do you still think that he will not have the bargaining chip to settle down when he seals off the border?

Have you figured out the situation?
Now, we are asking for others! "

"!!!"

"..."

"..."

Gu Shouzhi's words made everyone who asked him speechless.

a long time.

"Oh, that's all!"

Song Zhenque, who was sitting above, spoke suddenly, as if he had made a decision.

After all, he is the king of a country.

In the face of major events, he is still very decisive.

He knew that the current Dali really couldn't afford to wait.

"Here!" Song Zhenque looked at Gu Shouzhi: "As long as he Shenmu can provide us with enough quality vitality rice and elixir, whatever he wants, as long as I have it from the Dali Dynasty, he will agree to it all! Mr. Gu will do it for you." It's up to you to tell him in person, what I owed him before I left is now considered a write-off!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Gu Shouzhi bowed his head and replied.

Inadvertently, a cunning flashed in his eyes.

...

Shen Mu has returned to the government office at this moment.

Cao Zhengxiang made some midnight snacks and boiled a pot of wine.

But they didn't move their chopsticks immediately.

But waiting for something.

Soon.

A figure appeared slowly from nowhere.

Gu Shouzhi fell down slowly, without saying too much, sat down on the dinner table at his own pace, and poured himself a jug of wine.

After having a drink, he looked at Shen Mu helplessly.

"I said you have a really big appetite, Fengjiang City, Guandao Pavilion, Yuncang Port... You are going to play a big game."

Shen Mu gave a blank look: "Don't label me, I didn't think too much, I really want to strengthen the logistics and transportation in Fengjiang, that's all.

Yuncang Port is a good transportation hub, and it is the closest to Fengjiang City, so it is easier to manage. Once there is a transcontinental ferry, Fengjiang can develop outwards. I think it is as simple as that, but it is not as mysterious as you said. "

Gu Shouzhi ate sweet and sour fish with a look of disbelief.

Shen Mu: "Give me a sweet word, do you agree?"

Gu Shouzhi put down his chopsticks, nodded and said, "Yes! Yuncang Port will give you one, and you can make another quotation."

Shen Mu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and then patted Gu Shouzhi.

"Haha, yes, don't worry, I will wrap you a big red envelope this time."

Gu Shouzhi remained calm, and looked around: "Hey, Shen Mu, this matter must be kept secret, remember, especially my teacher! The way of a gentleman, don't speculate and play tricks, let him know that I take kickbacks, it will be miserable." gone."

Shen Mu nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't treat you badly just for your superb acting skills."

"..."
