Everyone's eyes were on Bai Yongliang. Every time this guy said something was going to happen, nothing good happened.
Luo Ningxin asked calmly: "Master Hou, if you need anything, just tell me."
Bai Yongliang said seriously: "Thirty miles northwest of the imperial capital, there is a small town called Shilipu."
"That town is in a remote location and rarely inhabited. I would like to ask Your Majesty to order that town to be given to the Bai family."
"In this way, the Bai family and the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce can comprehensively transform the town, benefiting the court and the people."
When all the civil and military officials heard Bai Yongliang's words, they cursed silently in their hearts.
Shameless, this is too shameless.
The small town of Shilipu is definitely relatively remote compared to cities like the Imperial Capital.
But it was an official road, and anyone entering or leaving the imperial capital had to pass through Shilipu.
There are many small merchants doing business in the town, and there are also some small hotels, which are very local characteristics.
And all the land and real estate in that town belonged to the imperial court.
It will increase a lot of revenue for the financial department every year.
What's more important is Shilipu, where many spies from the imperial court are stationed. After all, it is the only official road to and from the imperial capital.
Anyone with political influence will be stared at if they pass by.
There are also many foreign envoys living in the small town, and spies can also secretly inquire about some secret information.
Although the town was small, it was very important to the imperial court.
Unexpectedly, Bai Yongliang would openly ask the court for the ownership of this town.
This is so shameless, this is simply a clear-cut robbery!
In recent days, Bai Yongliang's lion has asked for six fiefs.
Within the imperial capital, outside the imperial capital, and even in other cities, some fiefdoms along busy roads were acquired for use as branches of the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce.
Under pressure, the court could only meet Bai Yongliang's requirements again and again.
Today Bai Yongliang asked for a new fiefdom again.
In fact, this request was made by Princess Xuanyu to Bai Yongliang. This was an order from the Ghost Pavilion.
The site of Shilipu is extremely important, so we must win it.
All civil and military officials were very helpless, and many people were even filled with sadness.
This is all because the Great Yan Dynasty did not have enough salt, and the Daqian Dynasty had its lifeline pinched. There was no other way but to compromise and retreat again and again.
However, this time, Luo Ningxin did not agree.
Instead, he said: "President Bai, you have asked for a lot of fiefdoms these days, and I have satisfied you time and time again."
"And the place you want this time is Shilipu. The entire town belongs to the imperial court."
"I have no choice but to give it to you. If President Bai needs a fiefdom, he should find another place."
Luo Ningxin refused.
All the civil and military officials were a little surprised. They did not expect that His Majesty would not agree this time.
Bai Yongliang frowned, and he did not expect Luo Ningxin to refuse.
"Your Majesty, I have indeed acquired a lot of territory recently, but I am doing this for the business development of the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce, and also to benefit the court and the people. Everything I do has no selfish motives."
"As long as your Majesty gives me Shilipu, I promise to build Shilipu into a tourist town famous for its local snacks and specialties within half a year. It will not only increase fiscal revenue, but also provide countless jobs for the people. What's the point?
Why not?"
He obviously wanted to take over Shilipu as his own, but to say such a shameless thing in such a high-sounding way, and to say that it was for the sake of the court and the people, was simply a fart.
Many civil and military officials are cursing in their hearts, but there is no other way. Only His Majesty can make the decision on this matter.
Luo Ningxin felt very sad.
Feeling very sick.
But he still controlled his emotions and said: "President Bai, the contributions you have made these days are obvious to all. You have indeed dedicated your life to the country and the people."
"However, President Bai and the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce have really worked too hard during this period, and they should take a good rest."
"I accept Chairman Bai's wishes for the renovation of Shilipu. I would like to thank you on behalf of all the people in the world."
Luo Ningxin's meaning is very clear, this town will not give it to you, you should go home and have a good rest, and don't make trouble here.
When Bai Yongliang heard Luo Ningxin's decision, he was very dissatisfied.
In the past, no matter whether it was asking for territory or cooperating with the imperial court for business, there was no objection.
Even if the business of the imperial court is taken away, His Majesty and all the civil and military officials will agree.
But today, His Majesty changed his mind and rejected me. There was something wrong with this.
If it were other trivial matters and His Majesty refused, Bai Yongliang would no longer bother with it.
After all, Bai Yongliang has earned enough recently.
But this time it was Lord Ghost's order.
It was Princess Xuanyu who asked Bai Yongliang to capture the small town of Shilipu.
Bai Yongliang could only continue: "Your Majesty, our Bai family needs this town very much. Although the town is small, its renovation will indeed bring a lot of benefits to the country."
"As long as your Majesty promises to give me this town, I promise that I will never ask for any more fiefdoms within this year."
After saying these words, many people cursed again in their hearts. This is too shameless. If they say that the land will not be granted within a year, does it mean that they will still need it after one year?
Bai Yongliang is also too domineering.
It’s really a shame that people’s hearts are not enough.
The atmosphere is somewhat depressing.
Luo Ningxin's face turned cold and she said, "President Bai, don't go too far."
"I've given you enough! Now I'm telling you, Shilipu won't give it to you, so give up."
This is a direct rejection, Jun Wu has no words to say, and Bai Yongliang has no drama.
Bai Yongliang did not expect that His Majesty would treat him like this today, and he suddenly felt angry.
"Your Majesty also asks you to take back your order. This town is decided by our Bai family! And we must sign the contract today. From now on, Shilipu will belong to our Bai family!"
When Bai Yongliang was in court, he refused to give his Majesty face in front of all the civil and military officials and directly attacked him.
Because he is confident, he is not afraid.
Luo Ningxin was furious and slapped the armrest with her right hand.
"President Bai, this is Chao Shang, please pay attention to your words and deeds!"
"If you say something rude again, you will never be lenient!"
The anger in Bai Youlian's conscience is getting deeper and deeper. He doesn't understand. Did your Majesty take the wrong medicine today?
Recently, when I was in court, I got whatever I said, and all the civil and military officials and His Majesty followed me.
Could it be that His Majesty is really being pushed too hard?
But Shilipu is too important and must be won today.
If other people saw His Majesty being angry, they would definitely kneel down and apologize, but Bai Yongliang would not do that.
Bai Yongliang thought for a while and said with a cold face: "Your Majesty, the Daqian Dynasty will import a batch of salt to the Dayan Dynasty every month."
"In three days, this month's salt will arrive. If Your Majesty does not agree, then we will have to withhold the salt, so please think twice!"
A direct threat without any loss of face.
Bai Yongliang believed that as long as he took out the salt, His Majesty would eventually compromise on this matter.
