Chapter 458: Empty your family!

Da Li’s purchase of vitality rice and elixirs.

Shen Mu and Gu Shouzhi quickly reached an agreement.

In fact, when two parties negotiate a price under normal circumstances, they will definitely test each other and then find out the other party's background, so that they can make a better bid.

It doesn't matter whether it's too high or too low.

But after all, Shenmu has this scholar who is thinking about getting kickbacks.

Therefore, the family fortune of the Dali Dynasty has long been controlled.

Of course, Gu Shouzhi must be a true gentleman. As for why he "taken risks" to make a huge sum of money, Shen Mu didn't ask much.

However, in his memory, he seems to have some huge debt to repay, so he has always been very sensitive about money.

Chen Mu even wondered if he had also enriched himself when he built the academy building for himself.

But after all, this was a private matter, but for some reason, he had a strong hunch that 80% of the loan sharking was related to Chu Lushan.

"There are a total of sixteen mountain gods and four river water gods in Dali. Each year, they condense 160,000 incense. In addition, plus the offerings from the frontier counties and sects, there are almost 200,000. As for money, this thing It relies on the golden body bones of fallen martial arts masters, so even if there are not many dynasties, it can only rely on resource exchange. The Dali treasury currently only has less than 30,000 gold coins, which is of average quality."

Gu Shouzhi explained Da Li's family background very carefully so that Shen Mu could make an accurate quotation.

Chen Mu listened carefully, and was actually not too surprised by this number.

The money for incense is actually relatively easy to calculate.

How many landscape gods a dynasty has, or how many incense gods it worships, roughly determines the annual incense money output.

As for the more expensive financial money, it is indeed not easy.

A sect's martial monks can be counted on their fingers. After killing them, it is very difficult to refine their golden bodies.

Furthermore, which younger generation is willing to use the body of their ancestors as money?

Of course, someone else’s will do.

In short, what Gu Shouzhi said is basically in line with the revenue of the Dali Dynasty.

As for other resources, Chenmu actually has no interest in them.

He only wants Yuncang Port and cash flow, and the rest can be slowly cultivated by his own Fengjiang City in the future. He is not very rare.

Chen Mu thought for a while and then said: "Well, for the time being, we will sell it at a total price of 200,000 incense money and 30,000 gold money. We will talk about it after we have all the money.

The fifty-fold increase in vitality rice can be supplied uninterrupted, so you can eat enough and earn 30,000 incense money a month!

The thirty-fold increase in the high-level body-tempering elixir, the high-level Nayuan elixir, and the high-level Qi gathering elixir are all three in one. Three elixirs are a set, and a set is three gold scripture coins!"

When Gu Shouzhi heard Chen Mu's quotation, he was actually speechless in his heart.

It's indeed a bit ridiculously high.

But thinking about it on the other hand, after all, this is rice with a fifty-fold increase, and high-level elixirs with a thirty-fold increase!

This title alone is probably unique in the entire world.

Gu Shouzhi chuckled: "If you bid like this, then the cash reserves of the Dali Dynasty will last for half a year. So, do you think this war will definitely last for half a year? If it is not over after half a year, then Dali Dynasty can I have no money to buy any more.”

Chen Mu smiled slightly: "Half a year is enough."

This length of time is still a timeline that sleepers should consider at their own discretion.

It should be long or not long, short or short, and it should be just enough for the other party to accept it.

If it's a one-time thing, just empty it out.

It is inevitable that Song Zhenque will be a little uncomfortable.

…

…

When Gu Shouzhi went back, it was already very late.

However, Song Zhenque and others were still waiting in the central building. At this time, they definitely had no intention of sleeping.

Seeing Gu Shouzhi back, everyone became energetic.

Song Zhenque stood up and looked at Gu Shouzhi: "Mr. Gu, is there any result?"

Gu Shouzhi paused for a moment, and then sighed helplessly: "Well, back to Your Majesty, we have talked about it, but if the heavy wood oil and salt are not brought in, it seems that Yuncang Port cannot be saved. However, I have also increased the requirements. If we increase the The conditions for gifting Yuncang Port are that the vitality rice on his side must be fifty-fold, and it needs an unlimited and uninterrupted supply!"

"!!!"

"???"

"Unlimited?"

"Uninterrupted supply?"

When Gu Shouzhi said these words, everyone present was surprised.

You know, this is not ordinary vitality rice. Even the farmers dare not say that they can achieve an unlimited and uninterrupted supply, right?

What's more, this is energy rice that has increased nearly fifty times.

Just eat a bowl of it, and the recovery speed is comparable to high-end top-grade elixirs.

"Oh?" Song Zhenque's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Then what did he say?"

Gu Shouzhi nodded: "This Shenmu has not pushed too far. He promised that the energy rice can be supplied uninterrupted. As for the elixirs, he will buy them in bulk according to the price."

Song Zhenque was delighted: "The price..."

Gu Shouzhi: "Two hundred thousand incense money, half a year!"

"What!"

"Two hundred thousand!"

"Why didn't he grab it?"

"this……"

The expressions on everyone's faces were very exciting, as they seemed to go from excitement to bottom in an instant.

Song Zhenque also felt a little pained: "Can't it be cheaper? We have already included Yuncang Port as a gift."

Gu Shouzhi shook his head: "I tried, but Shen Mu didn't agree. According to him, many sects offer this price for purchase, and it cannot be lower. However, he can provide some additional after-sales services.

Your Majesty, I actually think this price is okay. If we buy it for the first half of the year, at least with such a strong supply of supplies, we can have confidence to deal with the Nanjing army. We can talk about the rest later."

Song Zhenque was silent for a long time.

In the end, he nodded. He still trusted Gu Shouzhi and felt that what he said was reasonable.

What Dali needs now is not money, but capital that can compete with Nanjing.

There is a gap in the strength of the army. If the supply at the rear cannot be improved, the only outcome will be defeat.

But with such a powerful supply of vitality rice and elixirs.

That's a different matter. The combat power has at least increased a lot.

"Mr. Gu, thank you for your hard work in lobbying, let's just settle it like this!"

As Song Zhenque spoke, he suppressed the ministers who wanted to express their objections.

"Don't say any more. Dali needs these supplies, unless you have better channels and better elixirs. If not, just shut up."

"..."

"..."

Everyone was silent.

However, some people feel strange in their hearts, always feeling that something is wrong with this negotiation.

Let's say it went well, but the previous talks still collapsed. If Gu Shouzhi hadn't gone there again, it might have been ruined.

But you may say it didn't go smoothly. In fact, the two sides didn't struggle for long, and it took less than a day for the front and back to settle.

It's quite strange, but I can't tell what's wrong.

…

The next day.

Song Zhenque and his party left Fengjiang and returned to the military camp.

Judging from his expression, he is actually quite satisfied.

The rest was left to Gu Shouzhi.
