Chapter 263: Gold Coins in Hand
"Now I don't even have to worry about where to live. Like the Soul Ring, the mind goes in with the physical body" Xiao Yu said and explained the method in detail, and it was really convenient for Luo Ming to try it. However, he felt very uncomfortable and lazy about the somewhat dirty space inn, so he handed the ring to Xiao Yu and said, "I'll clean it up when you have time, it's too dirty." ”
"Okay~"
Luo Ming thought for a while and said, "You have to hurry up and do something now, immediately go to the side of the Black Cloud City forces in the Heishui River, and ask him to send a team of at least two thousand people to the Land of Sighs, and I will wait for them here." ”
"You ...... alone" Xiao Yu was a little anxious.
"It's okay, you go and get back quickly. Seeing that Xiao Yu was still a little hesitant, he explained: "This is the top priority. The mines in the Land of Sighs are all red-eyed, and once they are known by other forces, I can't stop them alone. ”
After Xiao Yu understood, she said, "Then you must be careful, don't run around alone, I'll be back immediately." With that, she departed as fast as she could
It didn't take an hour
Luo Ming got up and cut off the wolf's head, cleaned the blood, and slowly walked towards the empty place to the east. After walking a short distance, he heard the horses' hooves, and a troop of cavalry caught up with him like a whirlwind. On the first two horses, one sat Xiao Yu, and the other sat a fat guerrilla general.
As soon as the fat general saw Luo Ming, he said nervously: "Bishop, does the bishop have a tiger talisman?" It stands to reason that we can't move it at will without a tiger talisman, otherwise if the city lord tracks it down, the small one can't afford it!"
"Just do what I say, and I'll take care of everything. As they spoke, they had reached the Land of Sighs. Luo Ming ordered: "You just have to stay here, whoever tells you to go can't leave."
If you have to use force, you can just let it go and kill it, and you don't need to ask for instructions! In short, you must not lose this land, and if there is a problem, I will only ask you. ”
After explaining this place, he put his mind at ease, asked the fat general for a horse, and rushed to the East Gate Alliance of Heishui River with Xiao Yu, saying that there was an urgent matter to meet the alliance leader. At this time, the sky was bright, and under the arrangement of the alliance people, they quickly entered the forest and met the ASEAN master.
As soon as he entered the door, Luo Ming deliberately raised the violent wolf's head high and placed it on the ground in front of the ASEAN Lord. The alliance leader was obviously shocked, this was the first level that their alliance had dreamed of obtaining, and this little guy brought it after a day of not seeing him. How the hell did he do it? It's incredible!
But he didn't show it all on his face. After staring at the head for a few seconds, he collected his attention and whispered something to the person next to him, and the man walked out.
Only then did the ASEAN Lord look up at Luo Ming, sighed and said, "I don't know how you did it." But I don't care about that, the important thing is that you bring the things. So now I'm going to ask you, are you sure we can start working together?"
Luo Ming nodded.
"Then let me emphasize the content of our cooperation: you kill Rin Storm, we saw this. We lend you 200,000 gold coins, and until we return the money, the Land of Sighs is the property of our Alliance. You and Black Cloud City and anyone else are not to be touched. Someday, you return the money, and we will exit the Land of Sighs. If you can't return the money, we'll always have the place of sighs. I'm saying, right?"
Luo Ming nodded: "Exactly." ”
The Lord of ASEAN looked at him deeply, and there was a small joy in his heart: she needed these iron ores so badly, and that they would bring her and his son a large number of weapons and armor, enough for them to arm a mighty army. An army that truly belongs to them, not a patchwork coalition of the alliance that is completely incapable of acting in unison.
"Do you have any questions?" asked the ASEAN Lord.
"No more. ”
"Very well, I'm already asking someone to draft an agreement. Wait until it's written, you can take a look at the signature and draw the pledge, and the 200,000 gold coins will belong to you. ”
The agreement was quickly delivered, and Luo Ming looked at it, and it even indicated that the loan period of 200,000 gold coins should not be less than one year. He couldn't help but laugh dumbly: they were afraid that I would have to pay back the money too quickly, and they wouldn't have time to mine iron ore. He signed quietly.
The gold coins were small and thin, like bronze coins, but 200,000 was not a small amount, and it also contained a large bag. Fortunately, there is a space ring now, otherwise it would be very inconvenient to hold.
After Luo Ming got the money, he immediately set off and rushed to the capital. He immediately met the lord of the city without stopping.
When he arrived at the Taihe Palace, the early dynasty had already dispersed. The city lord was sitting and chatting with several ministers in the hall, and when Luo Ming entered the door, he heard the minister of the Ministry of Works, explaining in detail the benefits and methods of increasing the levy.
Luo Ming immediately interrupted him and said: "You must not increase the burden on the people, the city lord has always said that he will be benevolent, and now that the enthronement ceremony has not been held, taxes will be increased, and the people will definitely complain." At the beginning of the New Deal, all of them adopted a policy of recuperation and recuperation in order to buy people's hearts, but now how can you persuade the city lord to expropriate and extort tyranny?"
Several ministers looked at each other, and even the city lord was a little anxious, and he said, "Son, you also know that the treasury is empty, and even the army is about to disperse, where are we going to fix the money to maintain this country?"
"Then let me be the Minister of Works. Luo Ming turned around and pointed to the Ministry of Works, startling the old man. "After governing for so long and being so poor, don't sit in that position if you don't have that ability. ”
The man hurriedly knelt down and defended: "The little brother is still young, and he doesn't know the difficulty of the facts, this money is really not easy to earn." ”
Even the city lord reprimanded: "Presumptuous! At such a young age, why do you have no upper or lower levels? Do you have the ability to earn money?"
Luo Ming took out the large bag containing gold coins from the space ring in Xiao Yu's hand, and with her help, he quickly counted out two piles and put them on the ground.
Fortunately, when the Eastern Union delivered the gold coins, all the gold coins were counted in one thousand strings, and they were strung with ropes, so it was very convenient to count them at this time.
Under the stunned gaze of everyone, Luo Ming said calmly: "Here are 150,000 gold coins and 30,000 gold coins respectively. Please send someone to the northern castle and the Heishui River to camp as soon as possible. In any case, the army must be kept first, the army is in chaos, and the country will be finished immediately. ”
He counted out another 10,000 gold coins, looked up at his father, and said, "Here are 10,000 gold coins, and ask my father to send a competent man to another country to buy grain." Priority should be given to the army as a matter of rations for the purchase, and the surplus should be given to the people. As long as you buy as much as you can, you should have no problem getting through this year. ”
