“A-choo…”
Li Mo wiped his nose, wondering who had been nagging at him, and then walked into the door of Hengtong Head Office. The place had already been under martial law, with soldiers everywhere inside and outside. Judging from the style of their armor, they should be the personal soldiers of the Prince of Zhennan.
Under the guidance of the soldier, he walked through the lobby and went directly to the warehouse.
The warehouse had been tidied up long ago, with various supplies piled up like mountains, and people busy coming in and out.
The adults had been sitting there for half a day, drinking tea and going to the toilet several times, and they all looked unhappy.
Since ancient times, have officials ever waited for others?
This person is a businessman.
But Li Mo is not a businessman. Even these old foxes couldn't figure out why he hosted this event. It would be wrong to say that he did it on a spur of the moment basis.
Who would throw out a mountain of gold on a whim?
Sun Gui had been serving carefully by the side, wiping his sweat from time to time, looking outside the door, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Mo coming.
"You all have been waiting for a long time. This is the Minister of Revenue, Mr. Song, and this is the Vice Minister of Revenue, Mr. Qian. When we inspect the goods later, we will need both of you to sign and review them."
Zhong Qin was still wearing a long gown today, and his tone was gentle, not like a general who had spent his whole life in battle:
"It is thanks to Li Mo's generous donation that we have solved our urgent problem. We should work together to complete this matter successfully."
After Song Baiyue and his colleagues looked at each other, he nodded slightly and said, "Li Mo, this is a big deal and can't be delayed. Do you know that?"
The matter of being late has been resolved.
Li Mo only paid the deposit and has not yet paid the balance.
He doesn't even give the Crown Prince face. He's just a young man with no sense of urgency, and it seems that His Majesty also favors him. It's probably useless to show off your authority in front of him.
"That's true. I just heard from Sun Gui that the materials are almost ready. Let's start checking now."
Li Mo nodded.
As he spoke, Sun Gui took a list and read it as he walked:
"One hundred pieces of plain gauze."
"Three hundred logs."
"Six hundred bluefin breams, four hundred pine nut chickens...two hundred thousand dan of fine grain...one hundred thousand dan of horse grass..."
"Wait a minute, stop!"
Minister Qian suddenly stopped and looked at the food that was still being transported to the warehouse with wide eyes:
"Li Mo, what are you doing with all this food?"
"It's the same as the previous ingredients. We need to cook. The Hundred Flowers Festival is a celebration for all. We have to make sure everyone has good food and drink. If nothing else, what will happen if the Hundred Flowers become thin and hungry?"
Student Li looked innocent and had a well-founded argument.
"That doesn't require 200,000 koku. What about you feeding the pigs?"
Minister Qian still felt something was wrong.
"Oh, I have a famous dish. It is made from the essence of hundreds of grains. Only one ounce of it can be obtained from a hundred kilograms of grain. It tastes delicious."
"What about horse grass? Can horse grass be used to cook?"
"They have come from afar, we can't just let the horse run without giving it grass."
“….”
Minister Qian scratched his head as he listened. It seemed very reasonable, yet something seemed wrong.
He glanced at Minister Song, and seeing that his boss didn't say anything, he nodded reluctantly.
Walked for a while longer.
"Ten thousand hundred-forged iron swords, seventy thousand long spears..."
"What the hell?"
Minister Qian couldn't hold it in anymore and pointed at the pile of weapons:
"Li Mo, are these also for the Hundred Flowers Festival?"
"As everyone knows, my Fairy Han is an excellent swordsman. With just one dance of her sword, she can attract thousands of swords to fly into the air. Not only that, her music is also at the pinnacle. When the 'Heavenly King Breaking Formation Song' is played, it can make the weapons dance, just like thousands of troops."
What Li Mo said made sense.
"So these are all props?"
Minister Qian looked to Prince Zhennan for confirmation.
"That's right, performance props." Zhong Qin's mouth twitched slightly, as if he had guessed what Li Mo was going to do.
But after guessing it, he had to say it was more reasonable.
Minister Song coughed lightly and said, "You have been a soldier for a short time, so you don't understand. Since the Prince of Zhennan said there is no problem, then it should be appropriate."
"....." Minister Qian had read a lot of books, but he had never served in the army.
But he always felt that this was not like a grand event...
Now we have food and weapons, if you raise your arms again...
After a moment.
Everyone looked at the bright yellow dress not far away and fell into deep thought.
"Li Mo, I told you something was wrong. What do you want to do?" Minister Qian slammed the table.
He was a little skeptical at first, but now he is sure!
"Hiss... Young Master Li, this... is a bit too much."
Minister Song, who had received the money, could no longer turn a blind eye.
Prince Zhennan coughed lightly and looked at Li Mo inquiringly, his wise and profound eyes were blank.
He couldn't be wrong, could he?
He thought that this guy just wanted to change the way he did things and support the defenders in southern Xinjiang so that they would not lack food and weapons.
Doesn't this kid want to put this clothes on him and do something heinous with him?
You have caused me so much trouble. If this matter were known to others...
"Um?"
Li Mo was stunned, also looking bewildered: "This is not what I want?"
Sun Gui was silent for a while, then he touched the back of his head and said, "Um, Brother Li, didn't you say you wanted to make the most noble and expensive dress?"
"That's right."
Li Mo remembered.
"You also said you wanted it to be the most gorgeous design in the world."
“That’s right…”
"And the person you said you were going to give it to is the one in your heart who shines brightly and transcends the nine heavens and ten earths. And that dress is to be worn when you are carrying out your lifelong event."
