"The deal is done? When did you reach an agreement?"
Shan Sheng's face was dull as he watched Zhuo Li send them out with a smile on his face. At the same time, three large carriages with a total of five hundred sets of spear armors were also sent out.
He had participated in the conversation between the two of them, but he did not understand what they had talked about or how they had reached an agreement.
In his heart, Gao Jing was becoming more and more unfathomable.
"Ten jars for one gold coin. In the future, just send a hundred jars over every month.”
Gao Jing reminded impatiently. Then, he returned to the carriage and impatiently grabbed the water bag. He drank a mouthful of water, gargled, and then spat it out.
"What's wrong?" the Startling Salamander asked curiously.”
"I'm not used to that tea…" Gao Jing grimaced and said,"You actually put honey and salt in it?" What a waste!"
"Didn't you say that the tea was very good?" Shan Rope was even more confused.”
"Just listen to this conversation. Don't take it seriously.”
Gao Jing rinsed his mouth again, then drank a few mouthfuls of water and said,"Alright, move the weapons away. We'll go back and prepare for battle.”
Mountain Rope was speechless.
Although he didn't understand why they had to prepare for war, since Sir had instructed him, he would just do it.
Thirty guards escorted the carriage and the armor out of Pill Sun, heading straight for the fort.
……
In the carriage, Gao Jing teased Xiaoyan.
Although the Startling Salamander was cold, its curiosity was still there. It could not help but ask,"What did you guys agree on?"
Gao Jing casually said," Ten vats for one gold. Sell the salt to the lord. The lord will provide the seeds, tools, and 500 sets of armor. The future production of the fort will be one tenth of the tax.”
"10% tax?" "How did he agree to such conditions?" Startling Salamander couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.”
Gao Jing smiled proudly." Because the cost of making jade salt is very high. One gold can only make five jars. The rest of the taxes will be paid to the jade salt."”
The Startling Salamander's eyes were a little dull, appearing very "cute"." Does salt cost money?"
"Of course!" "But the fort has the final say on the cost," Gao Jing said seriously.”
The Startling Salamander's gaze was strange.”
Gao Jing said in all seriousness," No, Confucianism only teaches good and evil. Those who scheme against others are Daoists. I also cultivate Daoism…Also, you're an assassin. Do you have to be so honest?"”
Startling Salamander was speechless. After a moment of silence, he said,""Since we've reached an agreement, why are we still preparing for war?”
Gao Jing shook his head and said," It's only a deal with Zhuoli. However, for Lord Mi Chun, it's best to directly snatch the technology and hold it in his own hands…Don't underestimate the greed of such nobles."”
The Startling Salamander seemed to understand something and asked,"Even so, there's no need to send troops to snatch it, right?”
"If Mi Chun had asked for it directly before, we would have had no choice but to give it to her. But now that we have 500 sets of spear armor and our own equipment, do you want it? We can only send troops to snatch it!"
"Then why did Zhuoli agree to give us weapons?”
"Zhuoli is Zhuoli, Mi Chun is Mi Chun!”
Gao Jing said seriously," To Zhuoli, he is only helping Mi Chun manage the fief. In the end, the fief is not his. A piece of uninhabited land has no benefits, but with the fort, there will be benefits, not to mention the jade salt. In the future, when the King of Chu recruits, Pill Yang will have an additional 500 armored soldiers. He has already done a meritorious deed by doing this!
However, in Mi Chun's opinion, everything in Dan Yang belonged to him. Jade salt should not be left in the hands of the Baiyue commoners.
In the end, Mi Chun was standing too high and could not see the ground. Zhuo Li helped him manage the fief, so he could see the ground even more.”
"But Mi Chun is still the one making the decisions…" Jing Li said after some thought.
"That's why we have to fight a battle that will allow us to settle down," Gao Jing said seriously. After beating Mi Chun up, Zhuo Li would explain the pros and cons to Mi Chun on behalf of the Fort Gang.”
The Startling Salamander looked at Gao Jing with a burning gaze and murmured,""So when you wanted to find a way for these people to live, all of this was already within your plan?”
"What?" Gao Jing didn't hear it clearly.
Startling Salamander pursed his lips and suddenly smiled. Like a hundred flowers blooming, it was dazzling. He stuffed Xiaoyan into Gao Jing's arms and said,"Can you teach Yan how to read?"
"Then Xiaoyan, do you want to acknowledge me as your teacher?" Gao Jing asked with a smile as he hugged Yan.”
Xiaoyan opened her big eyes and blurted out,"No!"
Gao Jing was a little embarrassed.”
Xiaoyan raised her head and said,"I want to be your wife."”
"..."
"A child's words are not to be trifled with!" Gao Jing laughed dryly. A child's words will never be forgotten…Xiaoyan, you're too young.”
"Then wait for me to grow up."
"We have to wait for a long time!"
"Then…then…then big brother can marry one first. When I grow up, I'll snatch it back!”
"Um…Xiaoyan, how old are you?”
"Almost three years old."
"I don't think a 30-year-old person is as smart as you…"
……
After returning to the fort, he distributed the halberds and armors to the guards and told everyone about the conditions that Gao Jing had negotiated. The fort once again fell into revelry.
The people of this era were too simple.
Paying taxes to the feudal lord meant that they would become citizens under the feudal lord's rule in the future. Just this point alone could calm everyone's hearts!
Gao Jing called Bamboo and said seriously,"Soon, there will be a war in the fort.”
"As long as Mister gives the order, everyone in the fort will fight to the death for Mister!"”
"This battle is not for me, but for yourselves!”
"Next, I will teach you the three battle formations that I have developed over the past few days. You must lead the guards and master them as soon as possible!" Gao Jing said.”
"Yes, sir!" Bamboo's eyes were burning.
" You only have 800 people and 500 armors. Don't expect to fight against the army. You need to make use of your strengths and avoid your weaknesses…"
As Gao Jing was speaking, someone suddenly came to report,"Sir, there is a woman outside. She said she is from the Yue called Yan Lingji and wants to enter the fort.”
Gao Jing blinked and blurted out,"Shouldn't that woman be kept in the water tank as an ornamental fish?"”
" Uh…" The guard was confused.
