honor me as god

Chapter 511
Ge Mai hastily finished his inspection and investigation of the Danyu Plain, and hurried back to the government residence with Lin Gengsen.

The two closed the door of the office, ordered the guards to wait outside, and refused to see any visitors.

Lin Gengsen saw that Ge Mai was in a hurry, and he was a little puzzled: "What's wrong with you today? You are in a hurry, not like you."

Gomez glanced at Lin Gengsen, took out the king's letter sent by the messenger from his arms, and handed it over: "Take a look at this letter, I don't understand what's written on it."

Lin Gengsen opened the handbook and browsed carefully, his brows were quickly frowned: "Isn't it nonsense to pull out the ears of wheat and cultivate blood essence grass?! In a month or two, this season's wheat will be ripe, and the granary needs this batch of wheat Go fill it, there are more than 600 million mouths in Danyu City to feed, now that the ears of wheat have been pulled out, what do you eat?"

Gomez's expression had a taste of hatred for iron and steel, and his voice became serious: "You are just impatient, can you read it first?!"

Lin Gengsen clicked his tongue and continued to look down. The more he looked, the more he frowned. After reading everything, he slowly closed the handwriting, squinted and said: "We have been given relief food for more than half a year, and all It is the century-old wheat allocated from the strategic reserve.”

Gomez paced back and forth, lost in thought: "I don't quite understand, where is the king doing this? No one in the Kingdom of Blood Essence Grass has ever heard of any industry that needs blood essence grass. At most, there are some people who like new things. Nobles will buy it as a tonic stew."

"But now, the king has asked us to pull out all the ears of wheat in the Danyu Plain, plant them with blood essence grass, and even directly open the strategic reserve granary to bring us so much relief food. What does this move mean? It's too sudden. "

"Could it be a transformation of the economic structure?" Lin Gengsen proposed a possibility, and analyzed, "The blood essence grass has no value in Doguland, but it is a must for the cultivation of warriors in the Far East. Maybe the king wants To deepen export trade, we plan to transform Danyu Plain from this year."

Gome quickly shook his head: "It shouldn't be that the Danyu Plain has been the most important grain-producing area in Dogoland since the "establishment of the ancient king" 513 years ago, and its status cannot be shaken or replaced. "

"Taking a step back, even if economic transformation is really necessary, it should wait until the harvest period of this batch of wheat ears has passed. There is no reason to rush to pull out the soon-to-mature ears of wheat. Doing so will cause too much loss."

Lin Gengsen sneered, and said in a teasing tone: "If you ask me, the king really doesn't understand the situation. The farmland in Danyu Plain has been contracted to hundreds of noble families long ago, and the property rights belong to them. It’s not up to us officials to decide. This handbook should be given to those nobles to see if they agree.”

"You really don't care, look at this!" Gome grabbed the king's handwriting, scratched the last line, and read it out, "It is limited to hand in 6270 tons of blood essence grass before the flower language season next year, Overdue will be punished."

Looking at this line of writing, Gomeg sighed somewhat disappointedly: "The king will be punished if the time limit expires. The king also knows that those lands belong to the nobles, but what he writes now is actually putting pressure on us and forcing us to implement the decree. If it arrives Time can't pay the job, you and I can't save our lives."

Lin Gengsen waved his hands and said coldly: "How can this be so easy? Although it is stated in the handbook that the royal family will buy the blood essence grass at a high premium, but the wheat in the Danyu Plain"

When Lin Gengsen said this, he paused for some reason, and said impatiently: "It's not like you don't know about the wheat. The small profits given by the royal family are not even a sesame seed. How could it be possible for those Noble concessions?"

Ge Mai's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice: "That's what I said, but you and I have to make a job no matter what. If we can't make a job, I'm afraid that 'the one' above will not be able to keep us."

Lin Gengsen sighed and sat down: "I really don't understand, such a ridiculous proposal, 'that' just watched it pass the vote? Doesn't matter?"

"And Lan Xian, the bird man, it's not good to promote anyone, but to promote Ma Ban to be a food officer, I'm almost mad at him today."

"Okay, let's not say a few words about these complaints, be careful that the walls have ears." Gomez glanced at the closed door.

He said to be careful, but he had no worries in his heart. The walls of the office are made of sound-proof wood, not to mention human ears, even if an owl is placed outside, they can't hear the movement inside clearly.

He sighed, frowned, and said rather helplessly: "Now the king has done such a bad job, and we are not human inside and out. It is really difficult."

Lin Gengsen was pondering, and for some reason, a vague smile gradually appeared on his face, and he said in a teasing tone: "Old Mai, you used to think you were smart and thought I was stupid than you. But in my opinion Come on, at least in this matter, you are no smarter than me."

Gomez was puzzled: "What do you mean? Have you thought of a good countermeasure?"

Lin Gengsen smiled shortly, took the king's handbook and spread it out on the table: "I said, why are you stuck in a dead end and can't get out?"

"Whether we can do business, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than seeing if we can hand in 6270 tons of blood essence grass on time. Think about it again, can we only grow blood essence grass by ourselves, and there is no other way to obtain it?"

After a brief silence, Gomei quickly realized: "You mean, instead of pulling out the ears of wheat in the Danyu Plain, we will secretly buy enough blood essence grass, pretending that we planted it, and sending it to you." Go up to do business?"

"That's what it means." Lin Gengsen shrugged, "Although I don't know what the higher-ups want blood essence grass for, but blood essence grass is blood essence grass, what's the difference between planted and bought? Since the handbook says that overdue will be punished, we Buy the Blood Essence Grass as soon as possible, don’t miss the deadline?”

Gome hesitated: "This"

Lin Gengsen urged: "What is this? Hundreds of noble families have been busy for several months, and the seeds, fertilizers, and labor costs are so much monthly coins. It seems that the harvest is about to be bumper. You go to pluck the ears of wheat at this time. Now, do you believe they ate you raw?"

"At that time, you will have a job with the higher-ups. How can you make a job with the nobles? The forces behind them are intricate. If you jointly impeach you because of this incident, will your position as the consul still be secure?"

Apparently, Ge Mai also had concerns in this regard, and was caught in a dilemma for a while. His eyes drifted left and right, and finally fell on Lin Gengsen's face, and said in a low voice: "Blood Essence Grass is the treasure of the Far Eastern Dynasty. Do you have any?" Can the channel be bought?"

Lin Gengsen showed a mysterious smile, and said confidently: "Don't underestimate my connections. I know a giant businessman, and I have had drinks with him several times before, and we have close contacts. Although this guy's character is not very good, but Whatever you want to buy, he can sell to you."

"Who is this giant businessman?" Gomer asked.

Lin Gengsen dipped his finger in some tea, and wrote a name on the table——

Po.
