"Is the emperor looking for An?" As soon as Long Tingxiao's words fell, the voice of Android Yi came from behind.

"Why is Patriarch Ann here now? I knew that Patriarch An hadn't come over yet, so just now I took a trip to the guest house to come over with Patriarch An! "You really can't speak ill of people behind your back! Fortunately, they didn't say anything bad, Long Tingxiao thought silently in his heart.

"It doesn't matter if An comes early or late, but the emperor is different!" Android Yi looked at the two of them and said warmly.

"The emperor has something to find Patriarch An, this palace will go to Mei'er first!" Zhang Mengjie is not as thick-skinned as Long Tingxiao, anyway, Long Tingxiao just said that matter, and he will discuss it with Android Yi in the next few days, it doesn't matter if it's today or tomorrow.

"The emperor really has something to say to An?" After Zhang Mengjie left, Android Yi said.

Long Tingxiao said: "Regarding the poppy, I have an idea in my heart, I want to discuss it with Patriarch An to see if Patriarch An can accept it."

When Android Yi heard that it was his purpose to enter the palace, his already good mood suddenly changed: "What does the emperor think?"

"Let's go over there." Long Tingxiao pointed to the place where they were sitting a few days ago.

"Okay."

After the two of them sat down, Long Tingxiao said: "I want to ask Patriarch An a few questions first, one of which is that Patriarch An has made up his mind about destroying flowers and planting grain that my queen told you a few days ago?"

Android Yi said without thinking: "The queen's proposal, An will do her best to persuade all the clansmen."

Long Tingxiao said: "Okay, I will ask Patriarch An again, how many poppies can you sell every year?" How much silver taels of poppy were sold? How long can they sustain their people? I hope that Patriarch Ann will answer the truth. ”

Android Yi said: "The emperor doesn't need to remind An, since An has the heart to cooperate with the emperor, he will not joke about the livelihood of the clansmen." It's no secret that this family of flowers sells every year, and it's not accurate. At most, it can only sell one-fifth of the family flowers, including those who take care of the family flowers. The silver he got was only a thousand taels. Although there are not many people in our clan, but on average, one person only gets two or three taels of silver, how long do you think these two or three taels of silver can last for the ration? ”

Long Tingxiao said: "I can understand Patriarch An's difficulties, but I am not a savior. It is true that Patriarch An has the heart to protect his own people and prevent them from touching the clan flower, but he does not have that kind of heart for the people who take care of it, to put it mildly, maybe Patriarch An wishes they were more dependent on the clan flower. ”

"What does the emperor mean?" Android Yi was a little confused about what Long Tingxiao wanted to do.

Long Tingxiao said: "Patriarch An rest assured, since I asked you these questions, and Patriarch An also answered them truthfully, I will definitely not be untrustworthy."

At the same time, Android Yi's heart was relieved, and at the same time, he heard Long Tingxiao say: "But?"

"But what?" Android Yi asked nervously.

Long Tingxiao said: "However, I hope that Patriarch An will agree to two conditions before the agreement is reached."

"Two conditions?" Android Yi twisted his eyebrows.

"Yes, two conditions." Long Tingxiao said: "Before Patriarch An agrees to my two conditions, I can first tell Patriarch An that no matter how many poppies Longcheng wants, I will pay Patriarch An 5,000 taels of silver every year."

"Five thousand taels a year?" Surprised by Zabaré behind Android Yi.

"Yes, five thousand taels a year." Long Tingxiao confirmed again.

"I don't know what the emperor is doing to buy family flowers?" Android asked.

Long Tingxiao said: "Patriarch An, don't worry, I didn't buy poppies to harm people, but on the contrary, to save people."

"Saving people?" Android Yi is a little unbelievable.

Looking at Android Yi's expression, Long Tingxiao knew that their clansmen didn't know that this poppy had a pain-relieving effect: "Yes, save people." As for how to save people with it? I'm sorry, Patriarch An, but I can't tell you until you agree to my two conditions. ”

"Okay, An promised the emperor's two conditions, I don't know what the emperor's two conditions are?" Android Yi knew that Long Tingxiao's two conditions were not simple, but five thousand taels of silver was already a great temptation for their clansmen.

Long Tingxiao said: "First, if Patriarch An has the heart to cooperate with Dragon City, then this poppy will not be seen anywhere in the future except for the Dragon City Palace and the place where it grows." Second, in the future, your people must not embarrass those who take care of the clan flowers, and unless they cannot quit being controlled by the opium poppy, you cannot force them to eat the opium poppy. ”

Android Yi knew that Long Tingxiao was going to cut off people with a heart and use poppies to harm people, but what he said about using poppies to save people really made him want to break his head and couldn't figure out how to use it to save people: "What did the emperor say about saving people?"

"Doesn't Patriarch An know that this poppy has pain-relieving effects in addition to making people rely on it?" Although Long Tingxiao knew that Android Yi didn't know that poppy had this effect, he still asked.

"I don't know!" If he knew, how could he have made Amin Er suffer so much back then, if he knew, Ah Min'er and Mingyue Gongzi would not have met, and now Amin Er would not be so painful: "So the emperor wants to use them as painkillers?"

Long Tingxiao said: "Patriarch An is smart."

Android Yi said: "The emperor said to save people with them, aren't you afraid that the people who take them can't do without them?"

Long Tingxiao said: "Pain relief is generally used externally, not internally. If I take it internally, I will let the Tai Doctor of the Tai Hospital control the weight, and never let the soldiers become dependent on it. ”

"It seems that the emperor has planned it a long time ago." Android Yi has a feeling of being deceived.

"It's not that I want to deceive Patriarch An, it's that I can't find a suitable reason to let Patriarch An stay for my minister's birthday banquet." Although it was reissued, Long Tingxiao's tone could not hear a trace of replacement.

"How? It was so coincidental to meet the emperor's birthday banquet, how could An Mou leave as soon as possible. Android Yi said this, but he knew very well in his heart that if he knew that this matter was solved so easily, he would not participate in any birthday banquet, and he should go back to see it after he had been out for so long.

"Patriarch An has the confidence to persuade the clan to destroy the flowers?" Although Android Yi said it very sincerely, Long Tingxiao could still imagine how true he was. However, Long Tingxiao was not unhappy in his heart, if it were him, he would not abandon the people of Dragon City by himself to enjoy himself outside.

As soon as he said this, Android Yi couldn't pretend anymore, and said with a sad expression: "This, An can only say that he will do his best!"

Long Tingxiao said: "As long as you have a heart, the iron pestle is sharpened into a needle." If they have you as the patriarch in their hearts, they should understand your hard work! ”

When Long Tingxiao said this to Android Yi, he knew that he was also talking to himself, and he knew very well in his heart that he would face difficulties in the next few things that were no lower than Android Yi. (To be continued.) )
