Wu Zuoxi clapped his hands, and immediately two big men came in at the door. Without saying anything, they just picked up the guy below. In their opinion, these two guys were the same as some useless garbage.
, just get it out. We will do whatever the boss says. We will never stupidly ask whether there was something wrong with these two guys that caused their death. That is a question that an incompetent subordinate should ask.
Wu Zuoxi would never do such a thing, and Wu Zuoxi was very satisfied with the performance of the two of them, "You two took care of them, and sent all the space rings and other things on them to the Investigation Department.
, let them find a way to open it and count everything inside. We have lost a lot of blood from them, and this time it is time to get back the money with profit." Although the money is all Taoist money.
Zong, but now they belong to the Cao Family Trading Company. If they are used to support Daozong, I don’t need to spend any money on my side, and I can make Daozong my own. This kind of calculation is really very wise.
Not bad.
That's basically what happened with Daozong. All that's left is to wait for the mine that was planted to slowly start to explode. As long as it explodes, everything will be easy. When the time comes, Daozong, whose capital chain is broken, will take the initiative.
If they come to cooperate with the people from the Cao Family Trading Company, the Southern Empire will naturally be eliminated directly. With the current financial situation of the Southern Empire, let alone support the Dao Sect, they will not even if the Cao Family Trading Company creates an economic crisis for them.
There is no way to proceed. The debt collectors alone can kill them. There are many debts. The Cao family firm did not come forward, but found some more powerful forces in the Southern Empire, such as magicians.
Trade unions and other things, we lend it to you at 20% interest per year, and then you lend it to the Southern Empire at 100% interest per year. Our profits have already been returned, and the remaining money has not been returned.
He belongs to the Magician's Guild. The Southern Empire dares to withhold the money from the Cao Family Trading Company. But does he dare to withhold the money from the Magician's Guild? Then the whole capital must be turned upside down. Li Cong has long been a genius for such a thing.
He has calculated well and will never let himself have any bad debts, and a part of the tax revenue of the Southern Empire is still in his own hands. This kind of transaction is a happy thing for anyone.
Looking at Li Cong, one-third of the originally planned six-month mining time has passed. As mining continues, Li Cong conducted another investigation of the entire mining area. The original
At that time, I only investigated within 500 meters underground. Now it seems that the 1,000 meters below are all Wujin. This means doubling. Now the time can be very limited. There are thousands of people in the Southern Empire.
Ten thousand troops have already arrived. It is impossible to continue to persevere, so Li Cong changed himself from working for one hour and resting for one hour to working for two hours and resting for one hour every day, working 16 hours a day.
hours, and 8 hours of rest. This speed is nearly 40% faster than before. In addition, nearly 200 mining robots have been transported from the earth. The manufacturing price of such a person is very high.
Expensive. These are all minerals on Mars that have been stopped and transported directly. Nearly 200,000 soldiers have also joined the ranks of mining. Although their daily workload is very small,
Isn't it a help to some extent? Thirty thousand tons can be mined every day. Over time, it will accumulate a lot. After Li Cong's exploration this time, he has discovered that the total number definitely exceeds 130 million tons. The last time
At that time, we saw 60 million tons. This time, it seems that the entire Cao Family Trading Company has no problem selling it for tens of thousands of years. Originally, Li Cong wanted to leave some of these things to the Southern Empire. Good guys, you guys
They are working against me in every aspect, so it would be strange if I was left here by you. Here they send troops to fight me, and over there they start competing with me within the Taoist sect. If this is given to you, and you pay back the debt in the future, won’t it become even more powerful?
Woolen cloth?
At present, Cao's Commercial Bank has been selling in more than 100,000 cities in more than 5,000 provinces across the mainland for nearly two months. On average, each city can sell nearly 3,000 taels per month. This is already a big number.
Well, this thing alone can bring in 3,000,000 taels of silver to a city's trading house every month. As for the transportation costs, they can be ignored. The diode manager of Cao's Trading Company wears a space ring.
Taking an airship is just like traveling. A certain amount of black gold is dropped in each city. The sales volume cannot exceed three months at most. If there are more, this thing will not be very valuable. Most of the prices are based on 1200 to 1500.
If it is sold for two taels of silver, it will need to be adjusted. In this way, the monthly sales will be more than 20,000 tons at most. This amount was something Li never expected. It can bring 4,500 to the Cao family business every month.
According to some surveys, there will be more sales intentions. However, Li Cong is not very greedy. As long as he can maintain the current level, he does not need too much.
There is also a bulk trade that Cao's Trading Company is planning to implement this month, that is, the minimum batch size must be more than 50 tons. In that case, the price can be reduced to 1,000 taels of silver per tael for you, so that they can transport it to Cao's Trading Company for the time being.
Where there is no way to sell it, people can still make a profit from the price difference. Now if you can get a little more, you can get a little more. Maybe others will be as lucky as yourself and directly discover such a big black gold mine. In fact, this
The Cao Family Trading Company has such sales ability that it can sell things quickly among the four empires, which is something that other large forces cannot do. Just like the Xuanyun Sect, he has the ability to sell things quickly among the four empires.
They all have their own strongholds, but they are not very close to business people. When the time comes, they will have to do this business with others, so the profits will be much less.
The situation on the front line is basically like this now. The Cao Family Trading Company's army has built a complete defense system, and all 500 artillery pieces removed from the navy have been installed. These things have been installed in the past few days.
He did a very good job in a small-scale attack and caused a lot of damage to the Southern Empire's army. Some officers and soldiers of the Southern Empire are very scared when they see this thing. In their opinion, this
The thing is like a harvester, which directly harvests almost all their lives. This is definitely a dream for them. Those artillery can kill a cavalry squad directly at a distance of several hundred meters.
They were so bombed that they couldn't find the north. The frightened horses ran everywhere one by one. Many people who could have survived have not survived now. They had only seen attacks by magicians in the past.
That's why it looks like this, but now they have never seen anything like this.
General Nangong's son is the commander of this cavalry unit. Now the entire military camp is hung with white things, because today there is a funeral for nearly 80,000 people who died in that small-scale battle, including Nangong.
The general's son, although he is not the eldest son, is the most useful among all his sons. This guy has been very systematic in doing things since he was a child. For this son, things are done very well.
Yes, this son often does things according to General Nangong's ideas, so the expectations for him are also the highest. In the court, he is also the best at doing things, and he is already a third-rank official at a young age.
Not everyone has such a title as General Chaowu. Originally, his army was here to give the people of the Cao Family Trading Company a show of strength because they used relatively powerful armor.
Their armor is much thicker compared to other armies, and the weight has increased by at least 30%. It is precisely because of this that they suffer greater losses from artillery attacks, and their speed is sacrificed by 10%.
Thirty, but the defense power increased by 50%. At that time, some people in the Southern Empire Military Headquarters thought that this sacrifice was right. But just when they were thinking about this matter, they discovered one by one that they
They are all wrong, all calculations are wrong, and all of this has been shown on the battlefield. The current situation can prove all this. These people are wrong, and these people who died can prove that they were wrong at the beginning.
The calculation formula is wrong. These people don't know if they can calculate these things. What they saw before were some data, which have never been verified on the battlefield. Today the verification begins. Everything begins,
But what did they get in exchange? In exchange for a large number of Bai Ling, these people all died, including the son of General Nangong. The most talented son, the next generation head of the Nangong family, died in Cao Cao.
Under the fire of the family business, this is also the biggest irony to those in the military department. Who told you to calculate that you can break through their defense line? But now, if you look at their defense line, nothing happens at all.
So many of your own people have died, how do you calculate such things?
General Nangong looked at everything in front of him with tears in his eyes. He never thought that his son would die in such a place. In his opinion, it was very difficult for him to fall here, but
This is not the end. One of his sons also died here. How can this be said? Is this all destined? He still remembers how high-spirited and happy his son was when he arrived here, but
What is the final outcome? His son is dead, and he has given away his white-haired man to his black-haired man. How many things does this damn Cao family business have that he doesn’t know? How come they have so many powerful weapons?
?That damn artillery, even the people in the Imperial Intelligence Department, didn't get themselves any useful artillery at all. Since everyone in the Navy suffered a loss back then, why didn't they know to remind me? If you say
If I do it all at once, I won't suffer such a big loss.
But talking about these things now has no effect at all. The eyes of the entire Southern Empire are already red. What's wrong with your son's death? Don't say it's your son who's dead. Even if you're dead, you have to deal with this immediately.
It was taken down by the local government. Damn it, the intelligence team of the Southern Empire did not have the ability to collect some information about Li Cong, but they knew how the people in the Cao Family Trading Company made money. They had already made statistics.
Within the empire, Li Cong can earn at least 80 billion taels of silver from selling black gold in a month. Is this a small amount? Absolutely not. The tax revenue of a province in one month is about 100 million taels of silver. The annual tax revenue of the Southern Empire
The fiscal revenue is only 2 trillion silver at most. Selling this thing can account for more than half of their annual fiscal revenue. How could they not want such a thing? They just haven't found an opportunity. Before they
It seems that many times these things need to be obtained carefully, and they will not lose themselves. However, now they can't get it, and the people from Cao's Trading Company will not give them a chance. What they do is
the best.
The order was passed down from level to level, that is, General Nangong was asked to knock down this place within half a month. General Nangong immediately spit out a mouthful of blood. Damn it, I can't take it down in half a month.
Head? If you want to see my head, just take it. Why are you doing so many things? One of my sons is already gone. This is what my head is like. If you need it, just take it away.
, don’t you want me to die? We have been fighting for such a long time, and we have no intention of defeating them. It is absolutely impossible to defeat this place. They are all so powerful, how could we do it?
We are so capable of defeating them, regardless of what they are using or what we are using. General Nangong is not the only one who has been given orders this time. General Hu is also in this group.
He said that the two of them should be responsible for the war on the front line. If they can't get it in half a month, they will need their heads. At this moment, the two of them are sitting in the general's camp in a daze. Both of them can be regarded as Southern Empire.
He is a relatively good general, but at this time, the two of them would rather be just soldiers and not do these things.
"General Nangong, it's better to express your condolences. A dead person cannot be resurrected. We have to think about our future. Look at the decree of the imperial court. Doesn't it require the two of us to fight? It simply requires the two of us.
As for their heads, they only know to keep sending troops here, but what they don’t know is that these troops are of little use. It is impossible for us to send all these people up. Look at Cao Cao
The fortifications built by the people of the Cao Family Trading Company would be good if at most hundreds of thousands of troops can pass by each time. Moreover, the airships of the Cao Family Trading Company are constantly throwing these things down. These things are basically enough for us.
It's going to kill us. How can we have the ability to fight them all back?" General Hu said angrily. He was also very uncomfortable with the imperial court's order, but at this moment he had no other choice but to say this.
Isn't that the best way? Each of these damn guys are so powerful that they can't fight back at all. If you want to deal with these people from the Cao Family Trading Company, you have to rely on the old man in front of you.
"Huh, you can't do anything. Do you think I can do anything? I'm not a god. One of my sons has already lost his life here. I don't intend to live anyway. If the higher-ups want to
If you want my head, just ask him. I'll give it to him directly. I don't want it anymore. These damn bastards don't even look at what the situation is like now and they know how to rush us." Suddenly he thought so much.
I thought of something. It was probably about the supervisor. I didn't give him face at the beginning. Now that guy must have gone back to put eye drops on himself. This damn guy, if you have the ability, you can try it.
I tried, is this frontline really that easy to control? I don’t care about my own abilities.
"General Nangong, let's just say these angry words for a while. To be honest, brothers are not satisfied with this, but if we are not satisfied, we have no other way, right? The current situation is like this. We can't get past the enemy.
Do we have to find a way to deal with the court? Why don't we talk to the people from the Cao Family Trading Company? There may be a solution. It takes the two of us half a month to get it done. I don't think there is anything.
It's possible, even if we send all the troops below, it's impossible." General Hu told the truth at this time, but how to talk to the people of Cao's Trading Company? Don't tell me you should stop poaching.
, just give it to us, we are going to take it back now, it would be strange if people didn’t laugh to death, the people in the Cao Family Trading Company are not people with IQ problems, they are all people who think very clearly.
"Talk to the people from Cao's Trading Company? If they are so easy to talk to, we don't need to waste so much energy here. Look at their people, every one of them has their nostrils turned upward. How can we talk to them?
, Besides, now they have the advantage, what do we have? We have nothing. If you were from the Cao Family Trading Company, would you talk to me? Isn’t this nonsense? They are not fools, we
They don't have what they need, so they won't talk to us." General Nangong said helplessly. He wanted to see what was in General Hu's mind. You said you wanted to talk to them.
If I talk to you, what do you think I am? They won’t tell you this. Just look at their abilities. They can knock down one of your cavalry regiments in an instant.
People's airships can make it impossible for your people to sleep every day. What can you do? Go over with swords and guns? But you have to be able to get over. Isn't it impossible to get through now?
"General, that's not what we said. Anything can be discussed. We can have a good discussion on many things. The people in the Cao Family Trading Company will definitely have their own ideas. Now we are going to do this to them.
They are definitely not tired of harassing us, even though they are occupying the top position. But why should we fight to solve the problem if we can avoid fighting now? These things are an opportunity for us to negotiate. I believe they will also think so. They
They can't be that stupid. If they were that stupid, there might really be nothing that can be done about this matter, but I think that Li Cong is a smart man and would never do such a thing." The guy thought for a moment.
Said, in fact, he has already contacted people from the Cao Family Trading Company. The deacon is not the boss now, so he has not spoken out about these things. If he does it privately, he may leave a crime in the end.
, I am not that stupid, naturally I have to let the boss handle this matter.
General Nangong glanced at the guy in front of him with some suspicion. This guy's eyes flickered when he spoke. There must be something going on. This guy usually does things a little unreliably, and it must be the same now.
Yes, is he already having an affair? Normally, he would definitely arrest this guy, but now he knows that is not possible. If he arrests this guy, it means that he has reached the end of his path.
It's the end. If you block this guy's road, you won't have a way out. After all, the two of you are like two grasshoppers on a rope, and neither of them will have a good way out. So even if this guy follows
The people from the Cao Family Trading Company contacted him, and he had to continue the conversation. What he even thought in his mind was that it would be best to contact him. Otherwise, how would he go about in the future? The imperial court had already given him
We are forced to the cliff. Can we discuss a specific solution? It would be great if the Southern Empire government can also make some concessions. This is what they all think. This requires the two of them.
Come and do it.
"Just say what you think. What time is it now? I think you know better than me. Look at our current situation. My son died today, and my son may die tomorrow.
You follow me and look at the court's order. If we fail to complete it in half a month, our heads will definitely fall off. The court doesn't care how you work in peacetime. They won't let you.
As expected, we usually need to be more cautious in doing things. Do you understand what I mean? Although these are extraordinary times, we must be careful, otherwise we will not be able to take advantage of us if we are caught.
Over there..." After the guy finished speaking, he looked outside the tent. In fact, from the day the camp was established to now, they all understood that both of them could be considered their own, but the one over there
That eunuch is not one of their own, that person has been their enemy from the beginning, a traitor inside the military camp. How could the emperor know what happened here? Neither of them reported it to the emperor. The reason why the emperor
You will know that most of the credit is due to that guy. This guy must not be allowed to know about this matter.
"Haha, don't worry about this. I will definitely be careful when doing things. That guy won't know any news. I have already changed the people around him. What that guy likes most is jewelry. I let him
Someone sent him a box, and he probably won't come out until evening. This period of time is enough for us to do things. The person I made an appointment with this time is Tuoba Yuanye from Cao's Trading Company.
It turns out that a member of the Tuoba family of the Western Empire is now the first-class manager of the Cao family business. Currently, he is in charge of everything here. Cao Ke seems to have disappeared. In fact, he doesn't want to
He has done things extremely well. If he had really done extremely well, he would not be discussing this issue with us now. I think his meaning is very clear. He would also be very happy if this matter could be ended.
It’s not attracting a lot of attention now. If there are more people in the future, it will be difficult for the Cao Family Trading Company to cope with it." General Hu said with a smile. There have been a lot of strangers on the battlefield in the past few days. They must have
Some other large forces also wanted to come over and see what was going on.
"This Cao Ke is really a capable person. This Tuoba Yuanye is also a person second only to the royal family in the Western Empire. Such a person is also a ninth-level warrior. No matter how he hangs around, he is better than being a steward in someone else's place.
There are a lot of people. In the past few days, it seems that he is better at being a steward now than he was before. Is such a person born with the qualities of a slave? Otherwise, how could he be so happy doing this?
I don’t know what they are thinking about.” General Nangong curled his lips and said, in his opinion, no matter what kind of business it is, as long as it has something to do with businessmen, it must be somewhere noble.
, this Tuoba Yuanye is willing to fall. He was originally a noble. Although the Tuoba family is gone, he should not defect to a businessman, no matter how powerful the businessman is, it is not allowed.
It's so embarrassing, so disgraceful to a noble person. It shouldn't be like this.
General Hu on the side didn't think so. In his opinion, if he had such an opportunity, he would definitely go. He is now a general, or a great general, but what kind of life has he lived?
There are many generals. I can be regarded as a talented person, but my relationship with some powerful officials in the court is not very good. What will be the result for me? I was directly assigned to this place.
.Some people here just don’t like them. Every time they go to the capital, they are ostracized a lot. It has become even worse in the past few years. There is no need for them to go to the capital. In their opinion,
, it would be best for them to die of old age here, they wish they would not go back. I know very well what these people are thinking in their minds, and they will never let you get what you want, so you have to go back and let them
You have been an eyesore for a while. Look at what the first-class stewards of the Cao Family Trading Company are doing. Although the army under their command is not as large as our own, their 10,000 people are more powerful than our 200,000 people, and they are still beaten.
They are being beaten and run around, what if they get to the capital? Those powerful officials dare to treat them lightly? If you don't have the courage, the IOUs in their hands can kill you, so there is really nothing to say about this day.
, people who work are not as good as people who don't work, so if there is such an opportunity for me to become the first-class manager of Cao's Firm, I will go there without hesitation.
"Let's not talk about those problems for now. How others live is none of our business. We'd better talk to Tuoba Yuanye first." After he finished speaking, he was about to go out. General Nangong looked at him.
Bai Ling, her son, looked at herself again. The Nangong family couldn't just decline. If she didn't die, the whole family would have nothing. She had to survive at all costs. This was what she wanted.
Whatever you do, even if you cooperate with your enemy, you must do it, otherwise you will never be at peace for the rest of your life.
General Hu and General Nangong are both ninth-level warriors, so they are very fast. They are out of the military camp in an instant. Although there are several other masters in the army, they are also very fast.
They just looked at each other and then said nothing. The superiors naturally have their own way of doing things. If someone goes out to have something to do, they definitely don’t need to say anything to a minion like me. I just stay here honestly.
Well, if you meddle in other people's business or hear something you shouldn't hear, that would be awesome. I still know how the first few guards died. It seems that I just heard some questions that I shouldn't hear.
If you lose your own head, it would be better if you are smarter.
The supervisor army also brought a few of his own guards from the capital. They also saw these two guys going out. When they were about to go back to report to the supervisor army, two guards came to his side, two
Jin Yuanbao took it over.
"Brother, sometimes it's better not to talk about some things. These two gold ingots are just for you to drink tea. Our general has some things to do, so why don't you worry about it, knowing that you will all get it in the future.
As for the capital, it’s better to be more honest here. You must have your own way in the capital, but in such a deserted place, the two generals still have the final say. What do you think? Don’t do it because of some
It's not worth losing your head for something that doesn't matter. What do you think?" The guy said with a smile. The guard looked at the gold ingots in his hand. Both of them were worth a hundred dollars. This is
With 2,000 taels of silver, there is nothing wrong with it in my mind, so I definitely can't do anything stupid.
"Haha. Whatever the two eldest brothers said, I naturally know what to do and understand it. You can rest assured." This guy smiled and put the gold into his arms, and then laughed.
Hehe went to do his own things, and the two guards naturally left happily. One of the deacons left halfway and then came back. What do you say? Our IQ is too low, so naturally we have to take care of ourselves.
Looking at this guy, if there is anything slightly wrong, he will definitely kill him. Being kind to the enemy is a crime against himself. If this guy takes money and doesn't do anything, he should go and complain to the supervisor.
I will definitely be executed by the general, so it is better to be careful.
The place that General Hu and General Nangong had made an appointment with Tuoba Yuanye was actually not very far from here. They arrived at the place ten minutes later and saw that Tuoba Yuanye was already grilling meat there.
I also brought some liquor from the Cao Family Trading Company, which was all good. Normally, the two of them had no chance to eat such delicious food. This roast was not from ordinary beasts, but from the frozen forest.
The seventh-level monster was transported to this place and has not been broken yet. It is worth tens of thousands of silver per kilogram. It seems that this is a relatively luxurious dinner. Looking at the sky, the sky is already starting to slow down.
It slowly darkened, and both of them walked over. It would be better to end this quickly. They didn't even notice the smell of meat. They didn't have any interest in such things, but they were interested in it.
They are very interested in the content of the negotiation. They hope that things can be done quickly, otherwise things will be messed up in the future.
"Haha, looking at you two, you probably aren't very interested in the thing I baked. I spent a lot of effort to get this thing. These things are all good. If you usually
As for myself, I don’t dare to enjoy it myself. That’s why you are here and you are treated like this. I also let myself have a good meal. There is nothing else to do now. Let’s sit down and enjoy it.
Have something to eat and drink, and take a look at the wine I brought. This is something that our Cao family firm does not sell in the world. Its value is not even a little bit. To be disrespectful, even the emperor of the Southern Empire cannot enjoy this.
Yes, you two really took advantage of it today, haha." This guy said cheerfully, even a fool could tell that he was in a very good mood, but other people were not in such a good mood.
, especially the two guys in front of them, each of them looked scary. They are not in such a good mood. In their opinion, what they need now is to end the negotiation quickly. This is what they want.
Otherwise, even if the dragon meat is grilled here, they will taste tasteless at all, which is different from the guy in front of them.
"Haha, you two, don't make such a sad face. Anyway, we are already here. What does this mean? It means that we already have a common language that we can sit down on. This is how cooperation often starts.
Even enemies have a chance to negotiate, and besides, we are not enemies yet." Tuoba Yuanye said, but when he said this, he glanced at General Nangong. There should be a grudge between him and General Nangong.
, although it was not directly caused by him, but no matter what, this guy's son died by his own hands. He was considered his enemy, but one can imagine that there are no immortals on the battlefield. They
It can be said that the Nangong family has been a soldier for generations, and people must have died often. General Nangong felt a little uncomfortable at first, but in recent years, many descendants of the Nangong family have died on the battlefield.
Well, if every person who dies is an enemy, then the Nangong family may not have any friends, and most of them may be enemies. This is the most depressing thing for them.
"General Mop, let's not say so many beautiful words. Now let's be honest, we are at the last moment. If you don't give in at all, we won't be able to survive. The court
A death order has been given to us, telling us to take over Fenxiang Valley within half a month, otherwise we will be beheaded. This is what happened now. I hope General Mop can give us a way to survive." Hu.
The general saw that General Nangong was basically silent. He had no choice but to blame himself for this black face. He could just stand here and say nothing. Who said he was the first brother? He was the second brother.
This kind of thing is just doing odd jobs. As for other things, I can only rely on others to come slowly.
"Concession? In fact, this matter is your own business. Why do you want me to make concessions? I originally thought that we could discuss the issue of your withdrawal here today. If you agree to withdraw your troops, I can agree to everything you do.
, the Southern Empire wants to kill you? No, I guess he is just trying to scare you. If he cannot complete the tasks assigned by them, he will kill you all, then how many hungry generals will be left in the entire empire?
There is a big gap between the orders from the court and the actual situation on the front line. They shouldn't go too far, right?" Tuoba Yuanye said with a smile, this matter has nothing to do with him anyway, I will just say something that doesn't hurt.
Dear Bodhisattva, the rest of the things need to be solved by yourselves. If you can solve it, it would be best. If you can't solve it, it will be a waste of time at most. We have plenty of time, as long as it is
I am negotiating with you, and this matter is beneficial to us. After all, our people are digging now, and your people are watching. One day your people will not be able to stand it anymore. By that time, we
I guess they all left and there was nothing left for you. That’s when you’ll regret it.
