Chapter 781 The sorrow of shopkeeper Wu

Jiang Xingchen is a member of the Qiankun Empire and has no obligation to help Daqin and Yueying. The last time he solved the problem of salt mines, it can be said that he was barely said to be in return for the world's merchants to send people everywhere to find things like pepper cumin tea, but this time, the Qiankun Empire also gave Jiang Xingchen a first-class marquis and thousands of square miles of land.

Neither the Emperor of Qin nor the Emperor Yueying were unreasonable, so there was no reason to let Jiang Xingchen work for free. Therefore, when the Emperor of Qin received the letter from Emperor Yueying, he fell into deep thought. It was certain to give Jiang Xingchen a gift, but what should I give?

"If you give money directly, how much does it have to be given? Jiang Xingchen may not necessarily receive it... If you give something, you can't even take advantage of ordinary things. The things that Xingchen receives are the best... By the way, mine!"

The Emperor of Qin suddenly thought of the alkaline mine that Jiang Xingchen wanted to leave in the Kingdom of Dachen, and immediately smiled.

"Let's go back and sort out the small mines across the country and let Jiang Xingchen pick one of them casually. This gift should be enough..." Thinking in his mind, the Emperor of Qin immediately wrote a letter to Emperor Yueying and informed him of the decision.

At the same time, in a small yard in Yueying Capital, Manager Wu was drinking alone leisurely, and the hot summer did not affect his good mood at all.

Although the other party has not nodded during the negotiations, it seems to him that the two countries can't hold on for long.

"It's really good weather, the sky is clear and there is no cloud! Hehe, don't expect it if it rains... It's mid-July now, and I don't believe you can resist it by the end of July!"

Manager Wu drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, placed the wine glass heavily on the table, and smiled proudly.

He was defeated by the last time when the big soapberry was in a bad situation. Although the prince didn't say anything, he also saw that the prince was unhappy. This time he was holding his energy and wanted to show off his good performance.

As long as you succeed, you can not only make a lot of money, but also help you bribe a nail in Yueying without realizing it. The prince of the An family will definitely be satisfied.

At this moment, the gate of the courtyard opened. A young man ran in sweating and said breathlessly: "Shopkeeper Wu. Yueying's movements have not decreased, but have become bigger and bigger. Now all departments of Yueying are busy. The blacksmith workshop has refined a large number of iron pipes and a strange thing! There are countless carriages and other transportation tools, and there are also a large number of laborers... By the way, I heard that Emperor Yueying has summoned many masters!"

Manager Wu looked up at the young man, pointed to the seat opposite, and said lightly: "Stay calm and don't panic!"

"Uh!" The young man was stunned. Obviously, he didn't expect that Manager Wu would be calm and calm when he heard about this situation.

"Shopkeeper Wu, you have to think of a solution. It seems that they really have a way to get the water!" After being stunned, the young man said anxiously.

"If their movements are a little bigger, you won't be able to hold back. What's the point... Getting water, do you think it's possible? Can you think it's possible? Can you think of how they use to find the water for irrigation? That can't be solved by digging two wells!"

After listening to Manager Wu’s words, the young man’s emotions gradually calmed down. After thinking carefully for a moment, he nodded and said, “Yes! I really couldn’t imagine how they could make water! And it was a lot of water for irrigation!”

"So. This is probably their bluff, and their purpose is to make our food! No matter how big their actions are, how much they can spend. You must know that the amount of our food is a massive number!"

"Yes!" the young man nodded and suddenly asked again: "Shopkeeper Wu, if we don't let go, will they use force! Our food has been shipped!"

"No! You're thinking too much! Do you think I didn't consider this issue? The food shipped this time is only part of it. If they want to solve the problem of food eating this winter, it is impossible for them to do something to rob!" Manager Wu said confidently.

"God. Dozens of seven-layer treasure ships have transported 100 million kilograms. It's only a part! How much food should we be selling to them?" The young man widened his eyes.

"The combined population of the Yueying Kingdom and the Great Qin Kingdom is nearly 100 million, and half of the regions are affected this year. The food shortage is at least more than 3 billion jin... The transportation costs along the way are not lower than the price of grain. By late July, the price of grain will not be three times the original one, and they will have to ask for five times!" Manager Wu said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the noise outside as if it was a camp. Because the sound was very abrupt, he was startled.

"Hmm? What's going on outside?" Manager Wu looked puzzled, and the young man was also confused.

Immediately afterwards, they heard the sound outside.

"It's out of water, it's really out of water. What you said is true!"

"What am I lying to you? If you don't believe me, go and see. The water flows have all formed a stream."

"God, how is this possible! Where, I'll go and see..."

Every time I said something outside, Manager Wu's face turned darker, and it became as gloomy as the bottom of the pot in a moment. If it weren't for the people from the Yueying Empire outside, it would mean...

"Bang!" The gate of the courtyard opened again, and a middle-aged man ran away and you came in.

"Shopkeeper Wu, it's a big deal, I really found the water! They dug a lot of wells..." the middle-aged man said anxiously.

"Digging a well~" When he heard this, Manager Wu felt relieved: "I thought they could really solve the problem if I drill a well! Go back quickly and don't let people see the connection between us, otherwise it will be detrimental to your future development!"

The middle-aged man would not leave, and said anxiously: "It's not an ordinary well, it's the kind of well that directly pumps water up!"

"Ah?" Manager Wu was stunned. He didn't understand what the well that drew water to the water.

"Oh, it's hard to explain. I've never seen this thing before. You'd better go with me to see it... Don't worry if someone finds it. Now everyone is going to see the water, so let's not go together!"

The middle-aged man said and turned around and walked out. Manager Wu and the young man looked at each other and followed quickly. Until now, they didn't believe how much water they could get when digging a well!

However, when they arrived outside the city, they saw more than 20 pressure wells constantly gushing out of clear water, converging into a stream, and flowing into the fields along the trenches, they were suddenly struck by lightning and were stunned.

"Impossible, this is impossible. What is this he? He can actually pump water from the ground!" Manager Wu panted and his mind was confused. The other party was obviously bluffing, but how could he really get the water out?

"You think, what's going on?" Manager Wu turned his head suddenly and looked at the young man beside him.

The young man was so scared that he looked bitter. I didn't know what was going on? You said the other party was bluffing, but he still kept me calm.

At this time, the discussions from people around them poured into their ears.

"It's so amazing. It's unimaginable that I actually pumped water from the ground!"

"I heard that the Qiankun Empire had solved the drought problem in grain-producing areas more than ten days ago, and this is the same method!"

"The same is true for Daqin. I used this method to draw out the water a few days ago!"

"First, it's the Qiankun Empire. Could it be the solution they came up with?"

"Is this still necessary? It must be the first thing that people think of. If they don't see it, they will solve it first, is their own drought?"

"Although we're a little late, it's just mid-July, and it's still time..."

Hearing these words, Manager Wu's eyes were a little dark. He had not received any news after he had solved the drought for so long.

"Why don't I know about the Qiankun Empire and the Great Qin Kingdom?" Manager Wu gritted his teeth and stared at the young man, waiting for him to explain.

"I really haven't heard of it. There is no such rumor in Yueying Capital!" The young man felt wronged. On such a hot day, I ran outside from morning to night, and you still doubted me.

Immediately afterwards, Manager Wu turned his head to look at the middle-aged man in the distance, hoping to get the answer from him! The young man didn't know that it was Yueying who blocked the news and deliberately insulted me. But as a member of Yueying's agricultural department, don't you know the letter? Even if we avoid meeting more often now, you should tell me such an important thing.

The middle-aged man smiled helplessly. He had not received any news before. He focused all on the preparations of the Moon Shadow Kingdom. Unexpectedly, water suddenly came out.

Seeing the middle-aged man's expression, Manager Wu felt dizzy and almost fell down when he shook his body.

The young man hurriedly supported Manager Wu and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

Manager Wu waved his hand and turned around and walked back. In an instant, he seemed to have grown up several decades and his body was hunched.

Who would have thought that there was such a method of withdrawing water, and that such wells were constantly installed in various places. This task failed without asking.

If it fails alone, it's fine, but he has to bear huge losses. Hundreds of millions of kilograms of grain are transported, and the freight alone is a large sum. If it is transported back, it's equivalent to spending another freight, and it's better not to ship it back! But staying here is also a problem... Now the grain is stored in the warehouse, and people have to rent it every day.

Thinking of the fact that he had said confidently before that when the grain price rose to five times in late July, Manager Wu felt that he was just a fool and was fooled by others. It was ridiculous that he was still self-righteous. The other party kept dragging him like this, but that he didn't think the price was high, but that he asked himself to transport the food and cheat himself.

When Manager Wu and the young man were walking back in dismay, Emperor Yueying and the head of the Hua family were laughing. They had been tolerating Manager Wu for a long time. Now they could all imagine the expression of Manager Wu's heart after hearing the news of "The Water", and they couldn't tell what was so happy in their hearts.

"Tomorrow they see that our negotiators don't go, and they probably regret it so much that their intestines are green!" said the head of the Hua family.

"Go, why not! Let's let him taste the aggressive taste! Now that he can't sell this batch of grain, he spends money every day, and it's even more expensive to transport it back. If we don't buy it at a low price, we're sorry for him!" Emperor Yueying waved his hand.

The head of the Hua family lit up his eyes and said, "That's right, he worked hard to deliver food, how can we not collect it!"

"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's think about what mine to give to Jiang Xingchen!" (To be continued) r655
