Standing in the middle of a group of rich men, he talked for a long time, but no one said a word. Only Bai Jie did. The old man might as well not say a word.
Chu Qing took a deep breath, and his eyes began to turn red.
Wang Tianyu slowly stood up and began to squeeze his fist bones.
Qiu Baoyu: "What are you going to do?"
"Brother is about to rob me, prepare to take action!"
"Pfft", laughter came from behind Chu Qing.
"Who the hell dares..."
Chu Qing suddenly turned around, his face filled with anger, which suddenly turned into a spring breeze: "How dare you laugh so nicely."
Tao Ruolin strolled over and stood beside Chu Qing.
"You're so stupid. You knew you were going to conquer Goguryeo and Baekje, but how did they know that there was such a need for so much fuss? To put it bluntly."
Chu Qing was stunned for a moment, and then said calmly: "I did it on purpose. I just tested them to see if any smart people can see through the situation."
Tao Ruolin laughed in a low voice: "I brag as soon as the night falls. It's like this every day."
Chu Qing: "..."
After waking up Chu Qing, Tao Ruolin left again, leaving the stage to the former.
Chu Qing smiled bitterly in his heart.
Being in Lushan Mountain, Shenglongba was right. He knew that if this battle went smoothly, he would definitely occupy Goguryeo's territory, at least most of it. However, these merchants and family representatives did not know that the information was very lagging behind. It is estimated that now I was also wondering if Goguryeo was going to negotiate peace with Dachang.
After adjusting his mentality, Chu Qing said loudly: "Dachang not only wants to attack Goguryeo, but also forms an alliance with the Silla people to conquer Baekje."
After finishing speaking, Chu Qing came to the map: "I went to Silla half a month ago and was assassinated. The assassin was from Baekje. The Queen of Silla has issued a royal edict to fight the Baekje people until death."
Everyone here looked shocked, this was the first time they heard about this.
"The national power of Silla is comparable to that of Baekje. With Silla, Baekje will not be able to help Goguryeo resist Dachang's siege of the city. You all know the reputation of the Donghai Navy. In addition, regarding the War of the Kingdom of the Sun, The soldiers are Huben under the command of Princess Dachang. They are not withdrawing troops, but are just a maze set up by Your Majesty. After the soldiers of the Kingdom of the Sun get on the warship, they will go around to the west of the Goguryeo Royal City. This time, Dachang and his troops are divided into two groups. , Goguryeo was unable to take care of its head and tail, and all its troops were sent to Erwang City, but the rear was empty."
Many people took a breath. This time they were really shocked. I, Emperor Dachang, could actually think of such... Oh, yes, this guy used to be a general.
"Goguryeo is already in my pocket. This is not a boast. It's just the matter of arranging food and grass supplies that gives me a headache. You are not ordinary people. Naturally, you know that this battle is about nothing more than money and food. With these two words of money and food, I have ordered you to come to Guocheng."
All the wealthy men had already made similar guesses in their minds, so they weren't very surprised.
Chu Qing paused, and the lines he had written before finally came in handy.
"This is what the saying goes, "Soldiers are more valuable and faster. If you ask the imperial court to deploy troops without knowing how long they will be delayed, your Majesty's plan will be in vain. Seventy-eight percent of the people here are wealthy businessmen. To put it bluntly, you are stepchildren." Yes, even if you are married to many powerful people, others will still look down on you in their hearts. Let me not talk about money first, let’s talk about our face first. The court will allocate food and grass in the Year of the Monkey, and there may be a group of people who will jump out and disapprove. Your Majesty's plan, if you, all of you merchants, and the relatively innocent aristocratic families can help you with your Majesty's plan at this time, what status will you have and what kind of treatment will you receive when His Majesty returns in triumph? I don't think I need to tell you. clear."
The planned opening remarks were finished and the effect was as expected.
Many people were excited, especially the businessmen, who were obviously tempted.
"good!"
Bai Jie suddenly stood up again: "I, the Bai family, have spent a million dollars to support the king's division, and I will destroy them without losing their subordinates!"
Mr. Fu: "My Fu family's life is not good enough. I can't even get three hundred..."
Chu Qing shook his head and interrupted: "Mr. Fu, please listen to me."
Looking at the others, Chu Qing showed a playful smile: "If I don't call you and don't talk about it, it doesn't matter, but, I called you and you won't pay a penny. If
His Majesty was defeated and came back with a droopy face and a disgraced face. Do you think... His Majesty will cause trouble for the courtiers, or..."
A group of people almost vomited blood out of breath. If they were not afraid of dying on the spot, they would really fight Chu Qing to the death.
They thought that Chu Qing could only extort two dollars. Who would want to play such a high-end game? This is a life and death situation. Either you pay and live, or you don't pay and die.
"When it comes to money, you compare people with each other, compare goods with goods, you compare with the imperial court, and the imperial court is not even bothering to give up a single hair. But if you all help each other, the gap will become apparent immediately. Who is truly loyal to the emperor and patriotic?
, right, of course, if you come and don’t have a hair on your head, then...hehe.”
With a "haha" sound, the hearts of the rich men went cold.
Chu Qing was satisfied. This was the expression he wanted, just like his father's dead mother remarrying.
After being tricked so many times by the fourth child, it’s time to use the name of the fourth child and be regarded as the bad guy.
When the conversation changed, Chu Qing said seriously: "Even if you don't know the military formations, you can understand that your Majesty's army is surrounding the Second King's City, and the Kingdom of the Sun is marching straight towards Huanglong. How can we lose this battle? Neither will we lose. How can we lose in Goguryeo?"
The land is my land of Dachang. Since it is my land of Dachang, but it is also far away, a large number of troops must be stationed. When the troops are there, they will naturally go to the people. For those who go there, it is a virgin land. All the
The fields, all the houses, all the cattle and sheep, including the mines..."
After a pause, Chu Qing raised his voice: "Why not let the loyal and patriotic people who originally spent all their money to raise military expenses take a little advantage? Do you think what I said makes sense?"
Bai Jie suddenly stood up for the third time: "My Bai family wants that mine for one year. Mr. Chu nods, and I will make arrangements now!"
"No, I don't want banknotes, I want materials, rice and flour, iron materials, manpower, war horses, cloth, everything needed for fighting. I want to turn Guocheng into the largest supply place, and even the blacksmith shop is provided.
I stood up and transported all the supplies non-stop."
Chu Qing laughed loudly: "Goguryeo Thirty-six Cities, I, Chu Qing, have stopped talking today. As long as you nod, you can be the first to move your clansmen there, whether it is farming, mining, reselling local specialties, etc."
It's up to you. If you go to such a big country, just empty it out. All the benefits are yours. As long as you don't jump out of the circle drawn by Your Majesty, what you get will be enough for you to be prosperous and wealthy for eight generations. You will make money and gain fame.
Relying on this alone, as long as you don’t rebel or violate Chang’s laws, you will be able to enjoy this reputation for the rest of your life!”
