Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 401 Bad news

Benjamin was overjoyed to see Li Changfeng being so enthusiastic.

But he dared to ask Li Changfeng to pay the bill, and he quickly smiled and said: "Your Highness, you are really generous, but they have made a lot of money with me, how can they spend your money?"

Li Changfeng didn't insist and asked Alice and others to translate for them and take them on a purposeful tour.

The purpose is very simple, it is to let them see the magical things that Daqian has but not in the Western world, and leave in their minds the impression that Daqian is the greatest country in the world.

Then word of mouth spreads through them.

Li Changfeng did not participate in the subsequent negotiation and procurement matters and handed them over to Zhang Haihui. Li Changfeng was very satisfied with the result of his last discussion with Habr.

Nine days later, Benjamin left the capital with more than a dozen fully loaded cargo ships. Li Changfeng glanced at the ledger and saw that he had made more than 400 million taels.

Another huge income made Li Changfeng in a good mood. He couldn't help but think of Zhou Jianbo who had been at sea for a long time. He didn't know where they were now, when they would come back, and how much gold and silver they would bring with them.

A few days later, another good news came.

Habul came to pick up the bike with the balance payment, and Li Changfeng gained another 200 million taels of income. He was so happy that he gave bonuses to all the workers in the motorcycle factory.

For such a huge transaction, Li Changfeng also paid a huge amount of tax money to the Ministry of Revenue. Chen Dingyuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear. Emperor Qianwu also laughed happily in the imperial study for a long time.

But the good times didn't last long. As soon as Li Changfeng moved to Tianjing Yayuan, Zhao Yong ran over with a gloomy face and fell to his knees with a plop.

"Your Highness, something happened in Baishi City!"

Li Changfeng's heart tightened and he quickly asked: "What happened?"

Now that all the scientific research institutes in Baishi City have moved to the capital, those are the only things that can make Zhao Yong like this.

Sure enough, Zhao Yong said with a guilty look on his face: "When I came to the capital, I told them to protect the azure tree outside Baishi City. But I just received the news that almost all the trees were burned. It's all my fault." Coming to the capital!"

After Li Changfeng moved the Baishi City Scientific Research Institute, he couldn't stay any longer and wrote a letter to Li Changfeng to come to the capital. Later, Li Changfeng summoned him to the capital.

He felt it was all his fault.

This news was undoubtedly bad news for Li Changfeng, and nearly ten years of hard work turned to ashes in an instant.

His face became very ugly, and a murderous intent burst out from his body, which shocked Zhao Yong.

He had never seen Li Changfeng display such terrifying murderous intent, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but Li Changfeng quickly put away his murderous intent and helped him up with his own hands.

"I can't blame you for this. Get up and don't blame yourself."

Zhao Yong and Zhang Haihui are both old men who have been with him from the beginning. He trusts Zhao Yong very much and needs such capable people around him to transfer to the capital.

Almost all the azure trees outside Baishi City were burned down. It looked like someone had done it deliberately. Even if Zhao Yong was there, he might not be able to prevent it.

After all, such a big place cannot be protected by a large army surrounding it.

Seeing that Li Changfeng did not blame, Zhao Yong breathed a sigh of relief and said angrily: "Don't let me know who did it, otherwise I will peel off his skin and cramp his tendons!"

Zhao Yong knew how important Qingshu was to Li Changfeng these days.

Bicycle tires and motorcycle tires are all made of rubber produced by the azure tree. Without rubber, these products cannot be produced and used.

There is still a lot of rubber in stock, which can be used for a while, but it is not a long-term solution after all.

There are many barbarians, but after all, it is easy to get choked in other people's territory. This is why Li Changfeng cultivated the Azure Tree early that year.

Li Changfeng smiled coldly and said: "I know who did it!" Zhao Yong shouted angrily: "Who!?"

"Barbarians."

"Barbarians!?"

Li Changfeng nodded, his face gloomy.

The barbarian envoy Habur had threatened him with this matter, and he was almost beaten to death. Later, he even humiliated himself and pleaded guilty. This was undoubtedly a great shame for a country.

Then, all the materials Zhang Haihui sold during the negotiation were much higher than the market price. It was clear that he was trying to trick the barbarians. It would be strange if they didn't feel uncomfortable.

It's just that Li Changfeng didn't think they had the guts to burn his Azure Tree, so he never took it seriously. Who could have expected that such a thing would happen?
Zhao Yong gritted his teeth and said: "In that case, let's fight. Kill all the damn Nanmanzi and occupy their territory!"

Li Changfeng said expressionlessly: "This prince has already had such a plan."

He had planned this when he was in Baishi City.

Later, during the southern expedition, I almost couldn't help but lead the army to push across.

But at that time, out of fear of the barbarian temple, I gave up the idea.

It's time to bulldoze the barbarians.

However, before using troops, he had to find a way to get Bai Yujing's support, so that the Barbarian Temple would have someone to deal with, so as not to cause trouble to him.

Li Changfeng asked Zhao Yong to step back and immediately went to find Chunni.

Chunni had recently become obsessed with "The Journey to the West" and was watching the script written by Li Changfeng in her room when she heard a somewhat urgent knock on the door.

She said softly without raising her head: "Come in."

Li Changfeng pushed the door open and entered.

Seeing his gloomy expression, Chunni put down the book in her hand, frowned slightly and said, "There is a faint murderous intent rushing through you, what happened?"

Li Changfeng said coldly: "The damn barbarians burned my azure tree!"

"Azure tree? Is it important?"

"Very important! Without azure trees, tires cannot be made, and bicycles and motorcycles cannot be produced, let alone future cars. Daqian's industrial development will stagnate!"

Chunni had been with Li Changfeng for so long and already knew the importance of tires. Her face darkened. She stood up and said coldly: "Did the people from the Barbarian Temple do it? Do you want me to kill someone?"

As he spoke, Chunni also had a faint murderous intent emerging from his body.

She didn't know why, but when she saw Li Changfeng being so angry, she also became angry.

Moreover, she is still waiting for the magical car that Li Changfeng talked about to come out to experience it for herself. How can it be done without the Azure Tree?
Li Changfeng shook his head and said: "I'm not asking you to kill people. I'm not sure whether the people from the Barbarian Temple are involved in this matter, but I decided to conquer the barbarians south and I need Bai Yujing's support."

Hearing this, Chunni couldn't help but frown.

She understood that Li Changfeng wanted to gain Bai Yujing's support through her. After all, if Daqian attacked the barbarians, the barbarian temple would not be able to sit idly by.

This matter involved a fight between immortal sects, and she couldn't make the decision, so she shook her head.

"I can't help it."
