Escape from the famine: I rely on hundreds of billions of supplies to spoil the god of war and the r

Chapter 479
"Your Excellency, you don't need to ask the Duke to do anything. You just need to bring him out to let them know that there is a big man like Duke Jing behind you. If Duke Jing can protect you, then you are still the owner of Los Angeles. , do they still dare to offend?"

Wei Zhongming felt that what Zhou Xiangrong said made sense, but he hadn't thought of it before, as for how to convince those merchants that he still had a backer like Duke Jing, that was his business.

"Let Miss Zhou bother."

Zhou Xiangrong said softly: "My lord, don't worry, neither the emperor nor the empress will take your life."

Wei Zhongming's expression changed again, and he looked at Zhou Xiangrong again, how could a young woman understand these secrets?
"What purpose does Miss Zhou have, just say it."

"My little girl doesn't want anything, but I heard that Los Angeles is rich in cotton, and my little girl won't be favored by her elders at home, so she wants to run some disciples to save herself a way out, but the cotton business in Los Angeles is now in the hands of the He family. Here, if the lord can give this business to the little girl, the little girl can ensure that the lord's life is safe."

How could Wei Zhongming get the idea that Zhou Xiangrong was hitting Cotton.

Luocheng is indeed rich in cotton. It can be said that at least one-third of the cotton in the entire Chu Kingdom is produced in Luocheng, and the cotton here is of high quality. If you can grasp this industry, you will have a steady stream of money flowing into your pocket in the future.

For Zhou Xiangrong to make such a request, his appetite is big enough.

"Think about it, my lord. If this thing can be done, we will be grasshoppers on a rope from now on. Take ten thousand steps back and say, after you are dismissed from office, my lord, the little girl can keep you rich and honored for the rest of your life. Looking at the whole of Los Angeles, except for the little girl , Who else can you trust, my lord? While your official position is still there, get things done quickly, otherwise it will be too late when the queen and the others come to their senses and notice the matter of cotton."

"This is the death-preventing gold medal given to the ancestors by the late emperor. There is only one such piece in this world. If the emperor really wants to give Lord Wei the death penalty, my daughter will take out the death-preventing gold medal and intercede for him."

Wei Zhongming clenched his fists tightly, as if making up his mind, someone called Zhou Xiangrong over.

Zhou Xiangrong took out a pouch from his body and opened it, inside was a golden medal.

The housekeeper buzzed his lips hesitantly, last time the He family only sent two hundred bags of grain, although it was the most among all merchants, but the difference between these two hundred bags and five thousand bags is not 01:30 Why is the He family willing to pay so much money at this time?

The people from the Ministry of Industry also rushed to arrive a few days later.

As soon as Zhou Xiangrong entered the room, Wei Zhongming immediately closed the study door.

Their ambiguous attitude before was because they wanted to see if Wei Zhongming would fight them to the death, after all, Wei Zhongming was also involved in it.

After Zhou Xiangrong left, Wei Zhongming sat on the teacher's chair and didn't say a word for a long time.

The two were worried that Ye Chang would have many dreams, so Zhou Xiangrong immediately asked Wei Zhongming to sign a sales contract with her, but when it was delivered, it was another person who received the money, but it was not a problem when the money was in hand.

Wei Zhongming sold cotton to Zhou Xiangrong, as long as she could afford the money, no one could make a mistake about it.

"You go to deliver a letter to the He family, and say that Lord Yasukuni has sent a letter to me to protect me, asking him to prepare [-] bags of food tonight and send it to my private house on East Street in the morning."

"kindness."

"You don't have to say anything, just do it."

Wei Zhongming didn't expect Zhou Xiangrong to have this thing. He took the gold medal and looked at it in his hand. The heavy gold medal was not fake.

The cotton collected by the government is sold uniformly by the government, but it is up to the government to decide who to sell to.

"My lord, this..."

"housekeeper."

They didn't really get scared until a merchant was captured by the officials that night, and they honestly delivered the food to the place designated by Wei Zhongming on the third morning.

Having collected enough food, Wei Zhongming licked his face and ran to Xiao Jin, "My lord, I searched all the people I could ask for, and finally got all the food together. Let's see if you can come to your mother Do you want an accurate word for the subordinate?"

Holding the gold medal tightly, he made the final decision, "Okay, I promise you that I will sell you the batch of cotton."

In other words, the food in Los Angeles is enough to last for a few months now. If the drainage channel on the Nanjiang side can be completed, it should be possible to start construction before the Chinese New Year. You can also go to the city to buy food, and the business in the city will be restored by then.

Zhou Xiangrong gently raised the corners of his lips to reveal an elegant smile, "Don't worry, my lord, the little girl will not disappoint you."

"If I agree to your request, how can you guarantee that I will not die?" Although Xiao Jin said that he would intercede with the queen for him after he got the food, but before there was no definite result, no one dared to believe it.

After settling the matter of cotton, Wei Zhongming brought those merchants here again. He first used the handle they had left in his hands to threaten him, and then moved out Lord Yasukuni to suppress the market for him. It was difficult for those merchants to distinguish what he said True or false, but the fact that he was held by Wei Zhongming is indeed true.

The next day, Wei Zhongming waited until noon, but the He family didn't deliver a single bag of food.

He was thinking about her words, and now the imperial court is focusing on the drought, and has not thought of cotton, which is a major source of income for Los Angeles.

Xiao Jin raised his eyelids coldly and looked at him, "Master Wei is indeed a capable person. The food that can only be collected by one person in the court, Mr. Wei collected it in less than three days, and I will do what I say. Your life, I have saved it for you."

Xiao Jin took people there and transported all the grain to the spare granary.

Due to the drought this year, the production and harvest of cotton has been much lower than in previous years, which has also raised the price of cotton. Originally, he planned to hand over this batch of cotton to those people like in previous years, but now he has to reconsider Where is the cotton.

"Yes, little one, let's go there in person."

The butler who was guarding the door heard the movement and opened the door to enter the room, "What are your orders?"

With Xiao Jin's assurance, Wei Zhongming secretly exhaled, "Thank you, my lord."

When those people were brought to Su Ying, they were too shocked to speak.

They have met Su Ying before, and they absolutely believe that the person in front of them is the real queen.

What a miracle, the empress is actually still alive!

"Your Majesty's phoenix body is safe, it's really the emperor's blessing, it's the luck of my country of Chu!"
