268 busy day
"The secret drawing I brought last time, has the hammer been thoroughly studied? That's the black iron process diagram I drew at the risk of my life, if we master it, the performance of the black iron equipment will definitely be greatly improved..."
"Oh, 3,000 finished products have come out, have you tested them?"
"What? Can you double your defense? Then what are you doing in a daze? Why don't you increase production?"
"What are you talking about?The cost of a single set actually reaches 3,000 gold coins?uh....Then let me calculate again, and then calculate..."
......
"In the summer, I ordered half a tael of gold to start collecting and storing grain, how is it going now?"
"Okay, there is really a set of half two golds, and the 100,000 army can eat a year's worth of military rations, and it has been collected and stored in just a few months?
"There is not too much food at any time, once the war starts, the price of grain in Chu will definitely rise upward, remember to let half a tael of gold contact Wengang, and use the sea route to transport the grain leaving the country, we must seize the control of the grain into our own hands..."
......
"What? Elder Fangs of the Vast Mountains has sent a letter, and he said that he will send giant reinforcements to support us in the war?"
"No, this matter is too big, we must wait for the three of us to discuss it together before we can make a decision, write back to Elder Fang, and tell them to wait, no giant can go out of the Great Snow Mountain without my order..."
"This is a just war, and we must not give those two families the truth..."
......
"Eh, Mom! The Dragon Vein Prince hasn't left yet? The three black-clothed men last night were actually the Dragon Vein Prince's subordinates? One of them is still the cousin of the Dragon Vein? Isn't that also the royal family, I said that aura is a bit not simple..."
"What do you mean? The cousin of the dragon vein actually brought the holy decree of the dragon line? he really made me the rich king of the Chu State?"
"Alright, alright, don't persuade me in daydreaming, I already know what you mean, I'll see them tonight, okay... Go on, let's continue to deliberate, and we'll finish all the big things in one day today..."
......
"What? The militia petitions? And the march? What are they going to do?"
"Wait, you say it again. Isn't this nonsense, if the militia all go up, won't our Black Iron Legion feed in vain..."
"Tell all the militia groups, let them guard our home, and they will do a great job to keep Peishui..."
......
For a whole day, the hall was full of all kinds of shouts and shouts of Flowing Fire, but fortunately this was the official residence of Flowing Fire, and there were three or four layers of defensive nets densely packed outside, otherwise the big mouth of Flowing Fire would have exposed all the secrets.
Liuhuo is very tired, although the energy of the awakened is incomparable to ordinary mortals, but such a sleepless work, and desperate use of the brain, I can't stand it.
Suzaku and Mei Jiao Niang had been here many times, but no one dared to approach the hall even a step. They know that when men are the busiest, women must not interfere, because that is the most handsome moment for men, and women should not steal the limelight.
Mei Jiao Niang thought about it, and still dragged Suzaku to the kitchen together, and the two women selected a lot of precious herbs, and sent pots and pots of herbal tea to the people in the hall and the people.
"Authentic good herbal tea, authentic good voice... Liuhuo drank the herbal tea boiled by the two of us, and it is estimated that his throat will not be hoarse for a day..."
"Oh, my sister just has a way, I don't think your herbal tea recipe is also worn alone by eight generations, and the color is translucent..."
"That's, this is my master's master's master's master....'s master, handed down..."
Mei Jiao Niang's exclusive formula really worked, and the gang of people screamed in the hall for a day, but no one complained about a sore throat, but greeted the two housewives one by one, asking for the formula of the herb.
In the end, the group of civil and military personnel kicked away a large bag of herbs and went home. By then, it was already getting dark.
From spring to autumn, three seasons have passed. This is the first time I've had a quiet meal with Suzaku.,It's a pity that the two-person world that Suzaku hopes for is gone.,Now it's a three-person world.,Mei Jiaoniang is willing to let go of the opportunity to get along with Liuhuo.。
The dinner was sumptuous enough, and the kitchen prepared the most precious food for the Flowing Fire Lord who had not been home for a long time. The crabs in Fog Harbor were sealed with crushed ice and sent by fast horses, and there was also a water awakened person along the way to protect them all the way.
The cold jade plates in the snowy mountains are filled with the most delicious fresh and tender yak meat, and in order to hunt these snow-capped yaks, the Blizzard internal guard specially provides a squad of fighters.
A table of delicacies has been slowly visited in the flower hall, but there are still people outside the flower hall who are busy roasting sheep for adults, and the roasted is still the grassland yellow sheep that came from thousands of miles away, the most tender breed.
Liuhuo looked at the table of delicious food, and drank three glasses of Tiandu City's fine wine in a row, and with the help of the wine, he slightly relieved the embarrassed expression on his face.
Liuhuo is indeed a little embarrassed, people Suzaku are helping him at home, but he brought two women back from outside, which is really a bit discouraged.
However, Suzaku obviously didn't want to give Liuhuo anything, she politely gave Mei Jiaoniang a dish, and peeled a plate of crab meat for Liuhuo, and her mouth was not idle.
"It's a pity, Senior Sister Shayue isn't here, if Elder Lan Ji hadn't called her away, it would have been even more lively tonight... Don't be embarrassed about the fire, we are not those mortals, we worry about trivial things every day, and with two sisters to accompany me, I will not be lonely..."
"At night, you don't have to accompany me, Sister Meijiao came from the vast mountains thousands of miles away, you better accompany me... Here, this is your favorite Fog Harbor crab, open your mouth..."
Liuhuo listened to Suzaku in a daze, and let her feed several plates of crab meat in a daze, and finally couldn't believe her ears, and asked cautiously.
"You... You don't blame me..."
Suzaku's eyes turned red on the spot, and tears didn't fall. She didn't look at the flowing fire, she just grabbed Mei Jiaoniang's hand and said with a little sob.
"Hi... It's impossible if you're not jealous at all, after all, no one wants to share a man with others, but Liuhuo's career has just started, and what he needs most now is support, no matter how stormy it is outside, we can't let him even have a comfortable home..."
"Sister, these days, you also know what Liuhuo has experienced over the years, it is not an exaggeration to say that he drank blood and gnawed mud, he is difficult enough, our sisters can't let him be even more uncomfortable at home..."
Master, Suzaku's affectionate words moved Liuhuo so much that even Mei Jiao Niang couldn't bear it anymore. Although she is older than Suzaku, she suffers losses and lives in the vast mountains all year round, and she is really not as good at these intrigues as Suzaku, the leader of the shadow troops.
The sad drama between Suzaku and Mei Jiao Niang has finally ended, and the meal of Liuhuo finally tastes a little. After running around for so long, it's a rare treat to be able to have a big meal with your family.
After dinner, Mei Jiao Niang went to the room to wait for the flow of fire, and Suzaku also generously blasted the flow fire into Mei Jiao Niang's room. To be honest, Liuhuo also wants to go, but no, there are too many things waiting for Liuhuo to deal with, and now the prince of the dragon vein is waiting for him, how to reply to the royal family of Chu State, it must be decided tonight.
In fact, for Long Xingkong's request, Liuhuo has been thinking about it for a long time, and he has been thinking about it since he got the news in the spring. The state of Chu is the largest country in the Zhongzhou continent, and it has always been orthodox in the mortal world, and the nearly three hundred years of dynastic rule has long made the people of the world have a kind of dependence.
Because of this, Long Xingkong's proposal is more and more tempting. A king with a different surname recognized by secular imperial power is a gold-lettered signboard worthy of refuge in the eyes of mortals in the world, especially a sour literati like Daydream, who cares about the so-called legitimacy.
And the awakened people who are high above, they are all immortals-like beings in the eyes of mortals, it is precisely because they are too high, so they have a sense of distance and alienation, compared to the throne in a mortal world, it is far more influential than the creation of the gate.
It is definitely good for Liuhuo to accept the title of this 'King of Wealth'. However, nothing is given for nothing, it is not easy to want this title, and you still need to hear what kind of conditions the Long family has.
On the west side of the Flowing Fire Mansion near the city wall, there is a complex of exquisite and ornate buildings. These are all private residences set up by wealthy and powerful families in the Great King City of the whole Chu State, and these families seem to know the truth that the troubled times are coming, and it is better to spread out a little more chips in their hands.
In the depths of this mansion, there is a very ordinary-looking Sanjin courtyard, which is the property that Long Xingkong specially purchased in Dawang City. It's sad, a generation of emperors actually want to secretly spend money to buy properties in the Great King City, which shows how serious the crisis of the Long family is.
In the dead of night, this seemingly ordinary house is brightly lit and heavily guarded inside. The Dragon Vein Prince from afar, plus the Awakened One who had secretly infiltrated last night, were sitting on the opposite side of the Flowing Fire, and everyone was relatively speechless.
The Dragon Vein Prince is very young, but his status is noble, and he has received the most orthodox imperial education since he was a child, which makes the eight-year-old Dragon Vein Prince unusually precocious. Liuhuo even felt that this little kid was even older than the half-hung awakened person last night.
The Dragon Vein Prince was silent for a moment, then arched his hand to Flowing Fire and said, "Thank you Lord Flowing Fire for being able to meet me in your busy schedule, here, on behalf of my father, I would like to pay tribute to Lord Flowing Fire, and also apologize to Lord Flowing Fire for my cousin Long Yong's recklessness last night, and please don't blame your lordship..."
After speaking, the Dragon Vein Prince picked up his cousin Long Yong, who was the awakened person of the half-hung man, and got up to salute the flowing fire.
Liuhuo's eyes were full of admiration at that time, he could never have imagined that an eight-year-old child would mature to such an extent. I think that when I was eight years old, I was still wandering around, and the prince of the dragon vein could already negotiate with other forces on behalf of the royal family, and this person would have to die more than a person.
Flowing Fire raised his hand and let the Dragon Vein Prince go, and after the two of them sat down, Flowing Fire opened his mouth and went straight to the topic, without a little procrastination.
"What kind of crisis did the Long family encounter, and they actually thought of asking me for the help of a new force that had only debuted for ten years? And opened such a big piece of cake?"
"You and I have limited time, don't dwell on those polite words, don't try back and forth, the big war is just around the corner, what result you want, just tell me frankly tonight, if we don't talk about the result tonight, I won't waste time preparing for the war and continue to entangle with you..."
"It's only one night, it's just one night..."
