That's what President Tian thought. As soon as he got those technologies, he would get rid of Liu Mang and save even 10% of the profits.
Wen Jieming was a little confused. Didn’t they seem to be having a good chat just now?
So he gently advised Liu Mang, "Sir, you can't say that. As the saying goes, more friends mean more opportunities. You don't understand the principles of business."
Before Wen Jieming could continue, President Tian said with a sullen face, "Young man, you have to learn to take some losses when doing business, so that you can last long."
"Ah, talking to you is such a waste of time. No wonder there are so many starving people in this world. Sometimes I really want to pry open your heads and see what's inside."
Liu hurriedly shook his head and sighed, then added, "Use your pig brains to think about why Taoyuan City is so popular among the people."
Liu Mang was so sarcastic, but Cao Yangming and others remained silent. Since the talks broke down, what could they, as mere businessmen, do? So they all looked at President Xiantian.
President Tian's face was full of displeasure, and he felt resentment in his heart.
"Liu Mang, you must understand your current situation. Don't think you can rest easy with just a few soldiers. The imperial army is about to be dispatched. Without my help, your Taoyuan City will be reduced to ruins."
Liu Mang laughed heartily when he heard what President Tian said. "If I really listened to your nonsense, I don't think the court would have to come and kill me. The people here would have drowned me with their spit."
"It's a complete waste of time to talk to you. Go back to where you came from, you bunch of Da Yan termites."
Liu Mang was too lazy to talk nonsense, so he stood up and left, leaving a few people full of resentment facing the air in the hall.
"President Tian, we..." Cao Yangming didn't know what to do and could only ask President Tian.
"Let's go to Jinzhou. There will be a time when he will beg us for help. Oh, and remember to exchange it for 100,000 silver coins."
The city lord’s office.
In the city lord's study, Yang Ziyang was reporting to Liu Mang.
"Sir, those merchants have already left, but before they left, they exchanged 100,000 silver coins at the bank and took them with them. After leaving the city, they headed towards Jinzhou."
"Hmm! That's good too. Let them go and urge them. Otherwise, it's not a good idea to keep the people below on edge."
"Sir, are you saying that they are going to Jinzhou to urge Dayan to send troops?" Yang Ziyang also smelled a hint of tension.
"Zi Yang! Whenever an empire's policies are influenced by businessmen, there will be no peace in the world." Liu Mang seemed to be sighing, but also seemed to be talking to Yang Zi Yang.
Yang Ziyang seemed to understand, but Liu Mang didn't say anything more, and he didn't dare to ask.
Outside Jinzhou City, the second largest city in Zhongzhou, there are endless military camps and the killing sounds made by the soldiers during training are shocking.
In the center of the camp, in a large tent that was different from the others, a group of generals were discussing military intelligence.
"General Li, I suggest that we first send 100,000 troops to capture Taoyuan City, and then use Taoyuan County as a base to gradually pacify the entire Yunzhou."
The only reason Song Shaohong was able to lead 30,000 imperial guards this time was because his father had asked the empress for an opportunity.
According to his idea, he came here just to pick up military merits for free.
Since coming to Jinzhou, I have been in training. Taoyuan City is just dozens of kilometers away. Every time I think of that thug, I grit my teeth.
Ever since the young lady of the Lin family returned to the capital, she has never met him alone. They could only see each other at some poetry gatherings.
Every time he saw the increasingly plump figure, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, but Lin Rushi just didn't say a word to him.
He was furious and felt that if he didn't kill that thug, it would be difficult for him to win back Lin Rushi's heart, so he asked his father to intercede for him and let him lead his troops to join the Pingxi Army alone.
Although the old general of the Pingxi Army and his father were not from the same faction, they had a good relationship.
But now I have to wait for some news. If it succeeds, I can take over Taoyuan City without any soldiers and gain considerable benefits.
As for why Song Shaohong was so eager to take over Taoyuan City, it was simply to capture the rogue city lord.
When the time comes, I can just catch that thug and deal with him.
"I'll keep Commander Song's suggestion for now! I'll make a decision after we understand the enemy situation."
Song Shaohong was filled with indignation and made another excuse.
However, just when Song Shaohong was thinking about how to make things difficult for General Li, a soldier came in, walked to General Li and whispered a few words.
"You guys discuss it first, I'll be back soon." After saying that, General Li stood up and strode out.
Half an hour later, General Li came back with a happy look on his face.
"Ahem, I just received intelligence that Taoyuan City only has a little over 10,000 soldiers, and the intelligence says that Taoyuan City has countless grain and silver coins. If we take Taoyuan City, we won't have to worry about food and fodder for half a year."
"So I think we should follow Commander Song's suggestion and send 50,000 troops to capture Taoyuan City first as a base for advancing into Yunzhou."
Song Shaohong was confused at first, then stunned, and then delighted.
My mood is like a roller coaster, ups and downs.
General Li stroked his beard and looked at Song Shaohong with a smile, "I wonder if Commander Song is willing to lead his troops there."
"I am willing to go, but I only have 30,000 people, and they are cavalry..." Song Shaohong's happy face suddenly paused.
"No problem, I'll mobilize another 25,000 infantry to help you attack the city."
Finally, under the envious and jealous eyes of the crowd, the old man and the young man reached a deal.
If he had known the result earlier, Song Shaohong would probably have scolded his uncle and General Li to death.
Song Shaohong was sharpening his sword to attack Taoyuan City, but Liu Mang didn't know it yet, and even if he knew, he was too lazy to care.
