Four hundred and ninetieth eight chapters finally arrived
"You should be clear about the purpose of my visit, anti-inflammatory drugs, syringes, and paper!" When I sat down, the marshal went straight to the topic.
"Marson Marshal, I have handed over the method of making grenades. Now I am pointing at paper and anti-inflammatory drugs to make money! The emperor actually wants... I need to build a territory now, and it's a lot of money!"
Jiang Xingchen looked surprised and showed a look of grievance on his face.
"Boy, don't follow me to do this!" The Marshal was so angry. What the emperor wants is something, not your skills. I don't believe you don't know.
"Haha!" Jiang Xingchen smiled slightly. Of course, he knew that what the emperor wanted was not technology, and he would not give it to him. It was so hard to get these things out. He had not earned enough money and had not yet achieved his influence. How could he hand it over? He said that he was just getting a vaccination in advance, and the emperor was always thinking about it.
"To be honest, marshal, my production capacity here is really not enough! I believe you have also seen that after the supplement is issued, the paper supplied to the market has been greatly reduced..."
Before Jiang Xingchen could finish his words, the marshal glared: "Your production capacity is not enough. I will publish a supplement every three days, and the last one will be a million copies, that is eight million pieces of paper! How much production capacity do you need!"
Jiang Xingchen smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "You can't calculate that. In the end, 800,000 copies were issued and one million copies were all used. What I used was the inventory for the previous two months..."
"Okay! Stop talking about this!" The Marshal waved his hand violently: "Don't be sensible with me, you don't know why the Emperor asked me to come... Just tell me. What are the requirements?"
Jiang Xingchen pretended to be pondering, and then whispered: "Marson Marshal, see how much credit I have made for the empire. Is it too little to give a title? I won't talk about where the grenade is. Food is a big problem that has always troubled the empire. I have solved it! Judging from the current growth of food, we can judge the output... With such a great credit, we have to expand my territory for ten miles."
"Do you still want to expand your territory?" The Marshal was surprised. You can't even build it now, and it's useless to expand it.
However, while surprised, the marshal also breathed a sigh of relief. However, if he expanded his territory, the requirements were not high. This place was located in a remote place. It was mostly barren mountains, so it was nothing to expand. The emperor did not allow him to expand his territory before, in order to suppress him.
"You still expand your territory, can you build it?" The marshal still asked with a puzzled heart.
"I can't build it now. In the future! If there is no place in the future, how can I develop it!" Jiang Xingchen replied with a smile. He didn't say anything about limestone. If the emperor knew about it, he wouldn't give it to him even if he was beaten to death!
"Just for this, you will ignore the person who represents the emperor, and you will not even show your face?" The Marshal smiled angrily.
"Aren't I angry? Sheep intestine line has been negotiated before and has a contract. Why should I force the price to reduce it? Besides, I have such a great contribution. It would be too much to give me an empty title!"
Jiang Xingchen was a little indignant. His performance at this moment was like a young man with ten essence and blood.
Unfortunately, the Marshal didn't believe it at all. Jiang Xingchen's insidiousness was famous. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, you should stop doing this... I will tell the Emperor about your request! However, the Emperor wants you to half of the output of paper and anti-inflammatory drugs!"
"This...is probably not possible. I really don't have enough here..." Jiang Xingchen hesitated again.
"Little Huntan, if you do this with me again, I'm going to get angry!" The Marshal swears in anger, and then shouted: "Do you think I didn't see it? When he came just now, Mr. Tang told me that he used paper to wipe his butt when he went to the bathroom!"
Jiang Xingchen's mouth twitched, and he wanted to grab the old guy immediately and stomp it hard. How could he catch anyone, and he was so proud of whom? I don't know if I had known this, I wouldn't give this old guy paper. I asked him to continue scraping it with bamboo pieces to scratch his hemorrhoids.
Fortunately, Jiang Xingchen reacted quickly and immediately said, "How much paper can you use to wipe your butt? The cut-off material is enough! But if I have to have half of my output at once, what else can I do with my monthly magazine!"
"Will you increase your production? I don't believe that you don't have this ability, let alone not having enough staff! You have recruited thousands more people, and the civilians in the surrounding villages and towns are also doing odd jobs here!" The marshal looked like I knew the whole situation.
"That! You don't know, no matter how many people there are, it won't work! Now it's Xianning's delivery, and she's injured again. I really don't dare to make her tired..."
Jiang Xingchen said this and then continued: "It's not impossible to increase the output! But there is Xianning, do you see..."
The marshal sighed inwardly. He was so tired of negotiating with this kid. He made a request if he hadn't been assigned by the emperor. If it weren't for the Emperor's appointment, he would really not want to come.
Jiang Xingchen understood what he meant, wasn’t it just to avoid Xianning from going to the college to give lectures three months every year?
But will the emperor agree to this? No need to ask, Xian Ning must know about the papermaking technique. Who knows if the emperor wants to get technology from Xian Ning when she is teaching?
"This... I can't make the decision! I need the emperor's instructions!" The marshal said in a deep voice.
"Haha! No hurry. After the amusement park is opened, the marshal hasn't played. I'll stay for two more days this time and relax! By mid-July, the water project will be started, so you can try it too! Otherwise, it will be difficult to play in the future. After the next issue of the monthly magazine is released, it will probably be crowded again..."
The marshal was so angry: "You little soul is not in a hurry? Isn't this obvious telling me that the next monthly issue will follow millions of copies? It would be strange if I can stay..."
Speaking of this, it is temporarily over! The Marshal immediately wrote a letter to the emperor, and Jiang Xingchen also notified Xianning to prepare to increase production.
In the next two days, Jiang Xingchen took the marshal and wandered around the territory.
The Marshal was amazed in his heart as he watched the development of the territory. The Star Corps changed almost every day, and compared to the last time he came, it was more prosperous and lively now.
Especially the amusement park, which burst every day, and under the sun, people lined up in a long queue.
And here, he finally saw the legendary glider. Seeing the tourists flying smoothly into the sky, the marshal stopped and watched, without saying a word for a long time...
Two days later, the news of the Emperor came back, and agreed with Jiang Xingchen's request that Xianning no longer had to go to the Imperial Academy to give lectures every year.
Upon receiving this news, the marshal finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the negotiations were finally over.
In the previous negotiations, he and Jiang Xingchen represented different stakeholders and bargained with each other. Now that the negotiations are over, the two have become friends of age. Without saying a word, the marshal directly plundered a pound of tea from Jiang Xingchen's residence.
Jiang Xingchen was secretly grateful that thanks to Chuncha he hid it well. If the Marshal asked him to search the Chuncha, he would have suffered a great loss.
Before returning, the marshal talked to Jiang Xingchen again. This time the marshal was a little serious: "It's almost done. Don't do anything too much. The emperor's patience is limited! This time you force him to compromise, and it has exceeded the bottom line. Please restrain yourself in the future!"
Jiang Xingchen shook his head and smiled bitterly. He wanted to develop territory and build a modern city, for the sake of Mei'er and for himself. He did not think about going against the emperor. But the ideology of the two was completely opposite, and this could not be reconciled at all!
Seeing Jiang Xingchen's appearance, the Marshal thought for a while and said, "You don't want Mr. Tang and others to do it in the future! Now, the old Marquis and the Dean rarely interfere in your affairs!"
After saying this, the marshal patted Jiang Xingchen on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "That's all, think about it!"
After seeing off the marshal, Jiang Xingchen returned to the lord's mansion alone and stayed in the house for a long time. Finally, he suddenly laughed: "I dare not use force, and the emperor also does not want to be in civil strife. The current situation is to beat the wolf by a pole, and no one is willing to tear his face apart... I develop my territory peacefully and ignore the others. There are eight kingdoms, the joint efforts of Xuanyuan Tianzong and Xionghu clans, and the hidden forces overseas. He will find that there are many places to use me in the future... Besides, the northern grassland behind me is the thousand miles behind me. The golden lion now has a much better relationship with me than with the emperor... Several commanders of the army also have an iron relationship with me..."
After figuring this out, Jiang Xingchen felt as if a layer of confinement that wrapped himself was broken, and he could not say anything about his body and mind.
It was early July, and Emperor Qiankun’s reward finally arrived.
"The new grain species developed by Jiang Xingchen has been very effective from the feedback from various places. The expected output is several times higher than before, which is a huge contribution... Jiang Xingchen is now promoted to a third-class marquis, and the territory has expanded ten miles eastward. All the development of barren mountains on both sides of the north and south are owned by Xingchen!"
"Hu~" After receiving the reward, Jiang Xingchen breathed a long sigh and finally got the limestone barren mountain!
When everyone in Xingchen Leader saw this reward, they were all ecstatic. The Count to the Marquis was a big obstacle. Only by becoming a marquis can one truly enter the top leadership of the empire, and he can be considered as one of the great lords. Xingchen Leader can also rank among the major territories.
Moreover, the Emperor finally expanded his fiefdom this time. Everyone disappeared because of the dissatisfaction of the previous reward.
When Xingchen leader cheered, the ministers of the conservative and centrists of the imperial capital were all stunned. What was going on? Although the emperor did not say that before, all kinds of behaviors suppressed Jiang Xingchen's rhythm. Why now...
The news quickly spread across the country, and the lords who were secretly making moves were also shocked: "Is the Emperor going to reuse Jiang Xingchen again..."
While the senior officials of the empire speculated, Jiang Xingchen had already begun to vigorously develop limestone mines, and the water amusement park was about to be opened! (To be continued...)
