Chapter 167: Oral Message
"Is that true? You said it yourself! Don't regret it when the time comes, words don't count! Senior Sister Zhao didn't care about Qin Shan's jokes, she looked serious, and the angry Senior Brother Sun slapped her on the head, which attracted a burst of laughter. Pen? Interesting?

"It's good to be young! The old man seems to be a lot younger when he listens to you talking and laughing! Haha, let's get down to business! Wu Lao smiled from ear to ear,
"The emperor decreed that the owner of Xuanman Xinxuan will enter the palace tomorrow and participate in the celebration banquet of 10,000 people!" Wu Lao has always been concise and to the point.
Senior Brother Sun, Senior Sister Zhao, and Qin Shan also behaved, knelt on the ground together, kowtowed to thank him, and received the order.
After all, it is the emperor's decree, but it is at the same level as the holy decree, and this superficial etiquette is indispensable!
After receiving the decree, Senior Brother Sun and Senior Sister Zhao looked at Qin Shan with their eyes, full of admiration!
"Well, I'm amazing!" Qin Shan's face was full of pride.
"Tomorrow, the emperor will set up a celebration banquet to reward the meritorious ministers, you have to think about what reward you want in advance! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so don't waste it! "Wu Lao is dedicated to Manxinxuan Commercial Bank.
"Senior Sister Shan'er was discussing with us just now, and she actually guessed that the emperor might summon us in person, and this time she really guessed correctly! The meaning of the junior sister is that she wants the wasteland left behind after the war in the north! "Senior Brother Sun is also quick to speak.
"Oh? After three years of war, the northern land was already full of holes, barren grass and fields everywhere, and all the houses were wiped out in the war. In the past few days, His Majesty and the courtiers are still worrying about it, and no one is willing to take it over. Why did you fight it? Wu Lao was very puzzled.
"The people live on food. After three years of war, the treasury has been depleted, and food has reached the brink of scarcity. And the number of casualties in the war is also in the tens of millions, and the sacrificed and disabled are all young and middle-aged laborers! ”
"Nowadays, only by ensuring a large supply of cheap food so that everyone can fill their stomachs, can society be stable and the country can recuperate."
"The north has the most fertile land and the most abundant water sources, and only by turning the abandoned land into fertile land as soon as possible can we fundamentally solve the hidden dangers faced by the country!"
Qin Shan spoke so eloquently, even the senior brothers and sisters were stunned when they heard it, the junior sister didn't say that just now, where is she for the righteousness of the country and the nation!
is obviously a complete profiteer, but she is only for profit, for silver! She is now doing the business of robbing while the fire is hot, and she doesn't want to spend a penny, she wants to cheat a large piece of land from the emperor!
But how can you listen to her spit lotus flowers and make a provocative speech, how can you feel so righteous and awe-inspiring? Even her personal image is much taller, as if she has really become a national hero!
"Do you have a solution, how do you get people to the north? If no one wants to go there, I'm afraid that they won't be able to display any ambitions! Now that the north is desolate, who would want to go there? Wu Lao grasped the point.
"How dare you go to porcelain work without diamonds, I can definitely solve this problem, please believe me! Support me! It may also need the help of my master, Master Weng, to make some optimizations and modifications to the labor tools. It may take me two to three days to sort it out! Qin Shan thought about it very seriously and said.
"Good! I believe you! Although Qin Shan's words were very vague, Wu Lao didn't know why, he just believed Qin Shan in his heart.
"We thought about it, and our bottom line was to ask for 10 years of planting rights in the north. We can resettle the country that has suffered in this war, and the wounded and disabled soldiers and their families, and, of course, all the refugees, victims and displaced people, can promise to pay the same amount of taxes and silver. You always say, will the emperor agree? Qin Shan raised his head and asked Wu Lao.
"! What a decade of planting rights! Is the co-author of the emperor a donkey who unloads the mill and kills the donkey? Oh, in the north now, birds don't, not a single grass grows, you contribute money, people, and efforts to open up wasteland and farm. After ten years of hard work, the barren land has become fertile land, and you can give it back with both hands! You stupid! When Wu Lao heard this, he jumped to his feet angrily.
"Huh? Wu Lao, don't you want us to ask for the Northeast directly! Qin Shan felt that Wu Lao was much more ruthless than herself.
Senior Brother Sun and Senior Sister Zhao were also embarrassed, and they understood where Qin Shan learned this heroic and righteous but extremely scoundrel ruthlessness.
"Of course! But we can't say that we want it directly, we don't hesitate to do anything about our personal interests, even if we smash the pot and sell iron, we have to solve problems for Your Majesty! Wu Lao said very seriously.
The three of them were dumbfounded! I've seen a thick-skinned one, but I've never seen one with such a thick skin! It's really invincible when you're old!
"After a while, I will go back to the Qin Mansion with you and discuss with your father, since you have the confidence to reclaim the Great Northern Wilderness, if Prime Minister Qin can automatically ask for his life, resign from the post of prime minister, and take office in the northern realm, then you father and daughter, you can do whatever you want! Then the northern realm, you can toss as you want! Wu Lao said casually.
"Tall! Wu Lao! When Qin Shan heard Wu Lao say this, she was very happy in her heart.
If the imperial court sends my father to manage the northern borders, ten provinces! A quarter of the country! If the father is an official, he will rule over all the people. Do your own business and manage 10,000 acres of fertile land. Oh, my God! That's a big pie!
Senior Brother Sun and Senior Sister Zhao were even more embarrassed, these two people were talking and talking, how could they calculate the ten northern provinces into their own homes!
"By the way, there is also tax silver, within ten years, we will not pay a penny of tax silver to the emperor! We're helping him do things, not asking him to do things! If you don't let him pay the money, it's enough to be benevolent and righteous! Wu Lao added.
At this time, whether it is Qin Shan, Senior Brother Sun, or Senior Sister Zhao, their impression of Wu Lao has silently changed a lot!
"Also, we have to have someone! There are so many soldiers in the army who eat food and salary, and now they don't fight, and they all go to the north to open up wasteland and farm! Wu Lao didn't mind at all, thought for a while, and said shamelessly.
"Elder Wu, let's be merciful! Don't bully people too much! Qin Shan weakly tried to arouse Wu Lao's conscience.
"Woman's kindness! Our conditions are not harsh! For the emperor, it is impossible to ask for it! When Wu Lao heard Qin Shan say this, he immediately blew his nose and glared at him.
"Good, good! We're all up to you! Qin Shan immediately begged for mercy.
"Little monkey, you remember! Tomorrow, before the emperor, you have to raise my head and chest, and put forward all the conditions in a straight and round way! Wu Lao turned to Sun Yuanqing and said.
