Chapter 59: Commitment
Didn't Lao Tzu just take a few hundred dollars from you, as for being so careful?
Still thinking of a way to arrange me?
Am I the kind of person who needs a woman's handout, or am I the kind of daughter-in-law of someone else's family?
"Grandpa Guo, did I say something wrong?" Xiu'er hurriedly lowered her head, as if she had done something wrong.
Nan Ke stared at the small silver ingot in Xiu'er's hand for a while, but finally relented and didn't take him away.
Then he snorted: "Xiu'er, you look smart, but in fact you are stupid, Widow Zhang next door is quite rich, but it doesn't mean that she gave me this money." Because this small box containing the golden ticket is not a local thing.
This purple tsubaki is only found in a mountain area in Kyoto, and it has a calming effect and is very expensive. This box alone is extremely valuable, and most people will not have such extravagant gadgets. Well, I'm in a good mood to see you off today. ”
Nan Ke said and forced the small box into Xiu'er's hand.
When Xiu'er received this gift, her eyes were full of surprise, and she said, "Grandpa Guo, this box is extremely valuable, how much is it worth?" ”
"You understand it's worth a lot of money, it's not good to ask, I'm going to sleep." Nanke waved his hand and left her alone.
The next day, it was a bit of a bit of a waste of time.
The injury on his leg made it impossible for Nan Ke to exercise in order to increase his strength value.
This made him a little impulsive, wanting to add an attribute point to himself to see if he could eliminate the injured state like the black tiger.
It's just that in the end, considering that I only have 8 attribute points, it seems so precious.
Using an attribute point to heal is also a bit extravagant.
Not to mention that it doesn't necessarily work, plus Nanke's force value is only 5, even if you add a little attribute, there are only 6 attributes.
It doesn't look like any different from the five scumbags of the war.
The combination of these reasons made Nan Ke give up this idea.
After eating at noon, Nan Ke found a general history and read it to understand the situation in this world.
This also made him learn that the Light Dynasty was established after defeating a nomadic Tianhuo Dynasty.
The meaning of this light dynasty is also very simple, that is, it will always be able to bathe in the sun.
Roughly speaking, as long as there is the sun, it is the territory of the Light Dynasty.
It also made Nan Ke think of something.
Isn't this a bit similar to the Empire on which the sun never sets, the Taizu Emperor of the Light Dynasty, isn't it his own countryman?
Then he took a look at the history of the Lion Bull Dynasty next door.
This is a powerful dynasty with a totem of lions, and what their usual names are, the light dynasty doesn't understand at all.
knew that their royal banner was a lion pounced on the bull, so he simply called them the lion bull dynasty.
So much so that the title continues to this day.
Seeing this, Nan Ke has a bit of a big head.
It seems that a good translator is still very important, and this is if you meet a country with turtles, salmon, etc. as totems in the future.
Do you still have to call it the Turtle Shell Country?
After reading the general history for a few hours, Nan Ke also understood something from it.
People at this time seem to be quite reckless, and they don't care much about cultural development.
Because wars are frequent, everyone advocates force.
No one cares about a title like the Lion Bull Dynasty.
Anyway, I can't beat you now, whatever you want, when I can beat it, you have to call me Dad.
In this environment, Nanke also had to pay attention to his own guards.
After all, everyone else is a wrist wrestler, and you go to reason with others? Don't let people swell your face?
If you have to stand on the opposite side of everyone, the end will be very miserable.
With such an idea, Nan Ke put down the general history of the world in his hand, poured a big sip of cold soup, and went to lie down and take a nap.
When he woke up, Xiu'er knocked softly on the door outside.
"Come in!" Nanke called.
Hearing this, Xiu'er pushed open the door, and without waiting for him, she said, "Grandpa Guo, Master Li Que Li has something to look for you, and he is already waiting outside." ”
"How long is a half-ring?" Nanke asked.
Xiu'er frowned when she heard this, and thought about it: "It is estimated that it will be more than half an hour." ”
Although Li Que is somewhat famous in Yongping County, he is still just a small businessman, and he can only wait honestly for the real big man.
"Okay, I know, let him wait in the living room, and I'll go over." Nanke said.
Xiu'er nodded when she heard this, and left in a hurry.
When Nan Ke came to the living room, Li Que hurriedly stood up from the chair.
"It's okay to do it, I'm not a beast that eats meat, so I don't need to be so restrained." Nan Ke waved his hand and smiled.
Hearing this, Li Que still didn't dare to sit down, just stood in place, and waited for Nan Ke to sit on the chair before he put his ass down.
"Do you have anything to do with me today?" Nan Ke didn't like to be polite to people, so he asked straight to the point.
"I see that Grandpa Guo, you have made many gains in the past two days, so I want to come and inquire to see if there is a shortage of food and wine, and I will donate some to the soldiers who are fighting on behalf of the people of Yongping County." Li Que lowered his head and said what he meant.
The intent is obvious.
It's just to tie up Nanke.
You can see it from the food and drinks he sent yesterday.
Although Nan Ke's reputation in the Light Dynasty is not good, this is also for those big shots.
Because Nanke's ruined behavior made them heartbroken.
But no matter how Nan Ke loses, it has little to do with these businessmen.
At this time, Li Que made one after another overtures, which also gave Nan Ke some ideas.
After all, the things he gave Nan Ke were all meat buns and dogs, so what good did it do him?
And Nan Ke can bully treacherous businessmen like Xu's mother, as well as tyrannical officials like Hu Hai.
But there is absolutely no reason to bully ordinary people.
"What do you mean by that?" Nan Ke opened his mouth and asked, "Are you worried that I won't pay back the two hundred gold I borrowed from you?" I, Nanke, am by no means the kind of person who does not believe in his word. ”
"Grandpa Guo misunderstood, the villain has no idea in this regard. I just want to thank Grandpa Guo. Li Que was frightened and hurriedly said.
Nan Ke snorted lightly when he heard this: "If the people of Daliang Mountain want to thank me, I may accept it." But if I don't tell me the reason for this gift, I will never accept it. If it spreads, others will not be allowed to say that I, the Duke of Dingguo, are bullying others, and I will mourn in the place. ”
"Grandpa Guo, if there is really a reason, the villain is also a little selfish when he gets up. The villain elite is a grain and rice shop, and the business he does is also sell these firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea to ordinary people.
In the future, if your guard needs these things, I hope you will come to me to buy them. I will give you the best grain and oil at the most affordable price. Li Que said softly.
Hearing this, Nan Ke also understood the reason why Li Que was repeatedly courteous.
It can be seen that this Li Que still has some foresight, and getting along with such a smart person is good whether it is business or trading.
"So that's the case, you are a buyer and seller, and everything is naturally based on profit. There is one thing you have to think clearly, in my current situation, I can only raise 500 soldiers at most, even if I hand over all the food and drink expenses of these 500 soldiers to you, the benefits you can get are limited, are you sure you want to continue to invest in me? Nanke asked.
Li Que smiled when he heard this: "I believe that your future guards will definitely not be just five hundred!" So I beg Grandpa Guo to give me this opportunity. ”
"Okay, then I'll have to see how capable you are and how many people you can supply." Nan Ke looked at Li Que and asked rhetorically.
"I have grain purchase points in Yongping County and several counties in Changning County, and in addition, there are dozens of acres of vegetable land for growing vegetables and selling. I don't think it's a problem to supply an army of 3,000 men at this stage!
If your guard is large enough, I can continue to expand, and if it really can't meet your needs, you can also find someone else to help you supply. Li Que said hurriedly.
Nan Ke nodded when he heard this, and said, "Okay, since that's the case, I accepted your gift, and if there is a need for this in the future, I will let someone go to you." ”
Hearing Nan Ke's approval, Li Que was also very happy in his heart.
It was much easier than he had imagined.
Immediately, he said: "Grandpa Guo, you will definitely need a lot of money to recruit soldiers to suppress bandits, I don't know if there is anything I can help with in this regard?" I can lend you some more for free if needed. ”
Whether Li Que can go one step further and make his small business in Wubo County, Nan Ke is a vital link.
Therefore, in order to firmly grasp this level, he can't care about anything else, so he can only make a desperate bet.
Most importantly, he understands!
If Nan Ke takes a fancy to his family, he will have 10,000 ways to loot him cleanly, so why not take the initiative to send it up and show favor?
If you can become one of Nan Ke's doglegs, even if you drink soup with it in the future, it will be better than now.
With such a big backer? He still needs to see Hu Hai's face?
Therefore, to give Nan Ke money, he was willing, and there was no resistance at all.
Nan Ke was also a little surprised when he heard Li Que's words.
I didn't go to him myself, how could anyone send money with a shy face, didn't this goods let them clip it?
"How much can you sponsor me?" Nanke asked.
"All the property!" Li Que said without hesitation.
"How much is the total family property?" Nanke asked again.
"Four thousand gold." Li Que said again.
Hearing this, Nan Ke also knew that Li Que was not lying to himself, after all, he could also see the value of the other party's wealth.
Since this kid is so sincere, he has to show some sincerity.
"I don't need that much, you can scrape me five hundred gold these days, just give it to me when I need it. I already know your intentions, I don't have to be like this in the future, you are a businessman, if I can take care of you, I will naturally not treat you badly. Nan Ke gave him a promise with a serious expression.
