Chapter 168: Super Big Deal
For ten minutes, no one gave any answer.
The deathly silence made the roar of the propellers of the gunship particularly harsh, and although the armored mixed troops on the ground were still in full battle, they did not take any action, and everyone was waiting in silence.
"Alas!" A long sigh came over the loudspeaker, and then an old voice said: "Now I order, all troops shall withdraw at once, and no one shall take any action without my orders." β
With the command of this voice, all the troops withdrew as quickly as a tide, leaving only a helicopter gunship slowly landing in the open space in front of the base camp.
After the helicopter stopped, an old man in military uniform with a straight figure walked down, although the old man was full of white hair, he was very neatly combed, and he looked very capable, his face was full of vicissitudes but extremely resolute, and his eyes were bright, like a bright star shining in the night.
After the old man walked in front of Loulan and Xu Renjie, he didn't speak, but first helped up the young officers on the ground one by one, Liu Laoliu and they were too heavy, and the least injured of these officers was a broken leg, so they couldn't stand up until now.
After the young officers supported each other and barely stood in a row, the old man gave them a silent military salute, and then turned to Loulan and said:
"Major General Loulan, hello, I'm Qin Wei, the current Minister of Defense of Huaxia State."
"Minister Qin, I finally looked forward to you, the banquet to welcome you was prepared three days ago, please come with me quickly, Loulan and I both miss you to death!" Without waiting for Loulan to answer, Xu Renjie had already caught up with Qin Wei first, and as soon as he grabbed Qin Wei's hand, he greeted him, as enthusiastic as an old friend who hadn't seen him for many years.
Naturally, Xu Renjie, who has been in business for many years, can only stare at it, and can't interject at all, of course, Xu Renjie also deliberately didn't let him speak, and Qin Wei seemed to understand Xu Renjie's thoughts, so he didn't say anything, but followed Xu Renjie to a single room in the canteen of the base camp.
The private room has indeed prepared a sumptuous banquet for a long time, which is not only sumptuous but simply luxurious.
The current seaside base, although there is no shortage of food, but the real top ingredients are still scarce, and the reserve is all-inclusive, but there is no such exaggerated preservation technology, if you want to eat fresh and good ingredients, there is no for the time being.
The wine banquet prepared by Loulan can be called carefully selected: the meat is the wild Fengxing pig and the devil's horn cow caught on the side of the farm forest, the meat is the most tender, the vegetables and fruits are freshly picked from the farm, the fish, shrimp and crab are caught with cards, in addition to the wild matsutake mushrooms and truffles in the forest, the wine is the best wine of the bearded, and the fragrant aroma makes people drool when they smell it.
This banquet, even in Loulan, is the highest-level banquet that can be handled, and it is used to entertain Qin Wei, which definitely gives him enough face.
After Qin Wei sat down, Xu Renjie talked and laughed and persuaded the wine, and also gave Qin Wei a dish, and Qin Wei is also an old man, so he simply shut up and didn't talk about business, just buried himself in tasting delicious food, praised each dish, ate very happily, and especially liked the bearded wine, and after a while, he killed a whole bottle.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Xu Renjie was still pulling around, making Qin Wei's face more and more ugly, and finally, he couldn't help but slap the table, stood up and asked sharply: "You two little ghosts, what the hell are you doing?" β
Seeing Qin Wei so angry, Xu Renjie and Lou Lan glanced at each other, and then Lou Lan sighed and said:
"Old General Qin, let's be honest, we plan to leave the seaside base in the near future and not come back in the short term."
"Leave?" Qin Wei was stunned when he heard this, and immediately asked eagerly, "Why are you leaving?" β
Loulan glanced at Xu Renjie when she heard this, and found that the latter was looking at him expressionlessly, and had no intention of answering at all, so she had to continue:
"Because we are no longer needed here, and now that the safe passage has been repaired and everyone's food problem has been solved, we plan to continue to go inland to find and save other survivors."
As soon as Loulan's voice fell, Xu Renjie sighed and said: "As the so-called feast that is not dispersed in the world, in fact, Loulan and I have been discussing for many days, rather than continuing to stay here and do nothing, it is better to go inland immediately, kill zombies and save people at the same time, which can be regarded as doing a modest contribution to the country and the people." β
"But wouldn't it be more useful for you to stay?" When Qin Wei heard this, he immediately said angrily: "Your pea shooters can exert their power more when they cooperate with the army, and your nest head, isn't itγγγγγγ Wait a minute, you two little bunnies, how dare you lie to me? β
In the end, Qin Wei's face suddenly sank, and such a sentence came out, Loulan and Xu Renjie didn't expect Qin Wei to be able to see through the little tricks of the two of them so quickly, and the lines they had thought of were useless all of a sudden, and they stayed on the spot.
In fact, this can't blame Loulan and Xu Renjie for being in a daze, Qin Wei was able to achieve the position of Minister of Defense, but it took decades of rolling in the officialdom and the army to succeed in taking the position, and the storms and thrills that passed during this period are not at all what ordinary people like Loulan and Xu Renjie can imagine.
"Hmph, don't waste any more time" Qin Wei saw that the two of them didn't speak, so he snorted coldly: "You two little rabbit cubs, what do you want, just say it!" β
Loulan and Xu Renjie looked at each other and smiled bitterly when they heard this, knowing that they couldn't sing this play anymore, so they had to put forward the requirements they had thought of a long time ago, but they were unsurprisingly resolutely opposed by Qin Wei.
"This is absolutely not good, a thousand catties of corn a day, who can eat this? At least a million catties! When Qin Wei heard the quantity of corn and pea shooters proposed by Loulan, he was so angry that his beard was crooked, and he immediately said angrily: "There are also pea shooters, they actually want a hundred taels of gold, do you know how much gold reserves the country has, you are blackmailing, it is a crime, you know?" β
Loulan sighed when he heard this, in fact, these requests he made after discussing with Xu Renjie were not excessive, the supply of corn was reduced, because there was indeed no rigid demand now, and the people could not provide gold in their hands, it was better to sell it directly to the dream farm for fantasy Tongbao, which could be used to upgrade farmland and buildings immediately; As for the price increase of the pea shooter, it is Loulan who takes into account that the demand for pea shooters is almost endless, and to get more pea shooters, it is necessary to upgrade the biological laboratory, and just upgrading the fourth-level biological laboratory requires an astronomical amount of one million taels of gold, so much gold, it seems that only the government can take it out, so Loulan has no choice but to find a way from the government.
"Old General Qin, don't be angry first, drink something first" Loulan got up and poured Qin Wei a glass of red wine, and then sat directly opposite Qin Wei, staring at Qin Wei's eyes, looking at Qin Wei's eyes intently, but didn't say anything.
"You little ghost, why do you think of me like that?" Seeing this, Qin Wei immediately slapped the table and was about to get angry.
"Old General Qin, I don't know if you have ever thought about it, why should I continue to stay here at the seaside base?" Seeing this, Loulan smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Do you think that with the resources I have now, is there any need to look up to people here and be controlled by others, in other words... Where do I want to go but can't go? β
"This... Of course, you are staying here because you are a descendant of China, and you want to contribute to the country and the nation. Qin Wei paused for a moment when he heard this, and immediately said: "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, you kid is really a bit of a husband, well... I'm starting to like you a little bit. β
Xu Renjie, who was on the side, suddenly stood up solemnly when he heard this, bowed to Qin Wei, and said loudly: "Old General Qin is worthy of being the leader of the country, and he is indeed a hero with a discerning eye, and he admires it." β
Seeing this, Qin Wei also hugged his fist slightly at Xu Renjie, and said with some hesitation: "Actually, I'm just talking about it casually, you don't have to take it too seriously... β
"You don't have to be too humble" Loulan saw that Xu Renjie didn't even want his face anymore, so he had to pull down his face, got up and said to Qin Wei: "Loulan is preparing to break bones for the country, so she will always stay at the seaside base, give food and pea shooters, and help General Luo Pengfei recover the lost territory and fight against the zombies, I am actually ready to dedicate everything I have to the country for a long time!" β
"This... Okay, okay, don't get excited, say slowly" Seeing that Lou Lan and Xu Renjie suddenly became impassioned, Qin Wei regretted the words of praise just now, and began to pull the words back: "Now that the country is employing people, you have an opportunity... Yes... There is a chance! β
"There's never been a better time to do it!" Seeing that Qin Wei wanted to retreat, Xu Renjie immediately scolded "old fritters", and hurriedly continued: "Old General Qin, do you know why Loulan sells pea shooters so expensive? That's because he needs more gold to exchange for more pea shooters! β
"Yes, old general" Lou Lan heard Xu Renjie say this, and immediately secretly pinched the tender flesh of his thighs with great force, and his eyes were red with pain when he landed, and tears almost flowed down, and when he landed, he gave Qin Wei an illusion of excitement and wanted to cry.
"Old General, the reason why I need gold is just to exchange for more pea shooters, think about it, what is the use of me Loulan personally wanting so many pea shooters? It's not that I will take it out and hand it over to everyone to kill the zombies and regain the lost ground" Loulan tried her best to make herself look extremely excited and said: "As for those nests, now there is no shortage of food in the seaside base, I plan to reserve it first, and then take it out and hand it over to the country for free when needed, which is also equivalent to helping the country reserve food!" β
Although Qin Wei is also an old fox, Lou Lan's words also seem to be reasonable, so he said with some hesitation: "In this case, I should still help you get more gold, but... You must increase the supply of corn, this high-level government, high-level military, scientists, artists, etc., a thousand catties of corn a day, is not enough at all! β
"There's no corn, they can eat something else!" Xu Renjie said loudly when he heard this: "The corn in Loulan strengthens the body and prolongs life, some people are already lucky to eat once a year, don't forget, the Queen Mother's peach conference is only held once a year." β
"You mean you can't add more?" Qin Wei's face sank when he heard this, and he said coldly: "From a supply of hundreds of thousands of catties to a thousand catties, are you kidding me?" β
"It's not a joke, it's really not a given" Lou Lan sighed when she heard this, so she had to take out the agreement he had reached with the Twilight Snow Seaside Business Alliance and show it to Qin Wei for personal seeing.
Qin Wei read the agreement carefully, his face gradually became solemn, and he said after a long time: "If you do this, you will definitely be able to get a lot of benefits from these countries!" No, I will report this matter immediately, let go of the corn matter for a while, the country must benefit from these transactions, don't forget, you are all the people of Huaxia, you must be patriotic. β
seemed to be quite satisfied with what he said, and after Qin Wei finished speaking, he added another sentence unsatisfactorily: "If you don't love, I'll force you to love!" β
"That's what happened before you and Twilight" Lou Lan said: "In addition, I will also give you a hundred catties of corn every day, this thing will be a rarity in the future, and you will be able to use this thing every day." β
Hearing this, Qin Wei gave Loulan a look that was considered your kid's acquaintance, and he didn't shirk it, he directly took Loulan's agreement and got up to leave, and only dropped a sentence when he left: "I will find a way for you to do the golden thing, you can rest assured." β
Qin Wei's words before leaving, really made Loulan overjoyed, looking at the current situation, the demand for pea shooters will be bigger and bigger, and he needs more pea shooters to complete the task, so what he lacks most now is gold, a huge amount of gold, and Qin Wei, as a representative of the country's forces, has a huge amount of resources, who will Loulan ask for if he doesn't look for him?
As for Qin Wei, although he also knew that there was not much gold in the treasury now, he still agreed in one mouthful, because he had a bottom in his heart, and his confidence came from the dozens of arks of various countries around the world that were anchored on the seashore at this time.
