Chapter 413 I don't even want to go
After Chang Shenggong sent the invitation to the city lords of the border city,
Everyone was a little surprised.
You guys in Chongqing have developed a new type of fire-propelled missile, why are you notifying us?
Even if we think it's good, and we ask you for it, you won't give it to us!
"Actually... just sending a junior officer or someone like that to take a look would suffice."
"We won't go. If we all leave, we won't know what's going on in the border town." One of the city lords wanted to refuse.
"That's what I think too, but that Changsheng Gong of the Weiyuan Army!"
He specifically sent an invitation; if we don't go, wouldn't that be disrespectful? The other city lords began to have concerns.
"Yes! Da Yu is getting stronger and stronger. If we don't go, wouldn't that be disrespecting Chang Sheng Gong?"
But business in the border town is also important!
"Oh dear! What should we do about this?" another city lord chimed in.
Prince Burilege remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.
Shen Huaichen, however, knew what these border city lords were thinking.
If all the border city lords go, then all the border cities will be in a state of being without a master.
just in case......
Or rather, all of them went to Changsheng Gong's place to watch some kind of fire and thunder experiment.
What if the ever-victorious Duke detains them all?
Although official trade has now begun between Dayu and the border cities, the lords of these border cities still dare not venture into the territory of Dayu.
They are still aware of what their ancestors did.
What if we encounter some overly passionate individuals who want to avenge their ancestors...?
Therefore, these border city lords were somewhat reluctant to watch any fire and torpedo experiments.
Burilege, however, would like to see it.
Ever since he went to Dayu with Shen Huaichen, he has become interested in everything about Dayu.
But he also knew that as he grew older, he shouldn't reveal his true thoughts to others so early.
Therefore, we must remain silent.
As for persuading these people, let's leave that to you, sir!
Shen Huaichen glanced at everyone and nodded.
"Everyone's points are valid, but the invitation from Chang Sheng Gong has already been delivered."
If everyone refuses, then we are already disrespecting Changsheng Gong.
What if he gets angry and sets up checkpoints at the border? Wouldn't that disrupt business?
It is true that official trade channels have now been opened.
However, the contract was clearly written down in black and white when it was signed.
In the event of military action, everything will revolve around military action.
"It would be easy for Chang Shenggong to control us," Shen Huaichen said.
Upon hearing that it would affect business, everyone became agitated again.
"Mr. Du, what do you think we should do now?"
"Whether we go or not, everyone is uneasy. We can't let this interfere with our business!" a city lord sighed.
Shen Huaichen pretended to think about it for a moment.
"Actually, we should still give them face. We rely on them to do business now, so we have no choice but to give them face."
As soon as the city lords heard Shen Huaichen speak, they knew that their strategist must have a plan.
"Mr. Du, can you give me an idea?"
We will all listen to you.
"Yes, Mr. Du, we will listen to you and do whatever you say."
“We agree to whatever Mr. Du says.”
Seeing everyone's varied opinions, Shen Huaichen finally nodded.
That's right, these people are very obedient now.
"Actually, we definitely have to go, but not everyone will go."
Since Lord Changsheng invited the city lord, let's go to the city lord's place.
There are now twelve city lords in the border city, so we will send half of them and leave the other half to guard the border city.
Therefore, I think the young prince should go. Everyone else can choose not to go, but the prince must go.
That would make one a city lord.
As for the other five city lords, let's draw lots! Whoever draws the lot gets to be the city lord.
Those who don't need to go can just stay home.
In this way, Chang Shenggong had both face and substance.
The prince went along, which also served to protect the other city lords.
Of course, the deputy generals of each city lord should also be brought along.
"We can't just leave our safety to someone else!" Shen Huaichen said.
When the city lords heard this, they also thought it was a good idea.
This is a pretty good compromise.
"Then let's do as you say, sir! Let's draw lots!"
After a flurry of activity, the five city lords who would follow Burig were all settled.
After exchanging some more words of advice, everyone dispersed and returned to their respective cities.
After everyone had left, Burileg looked at Shen Huaichen.
"Sir, what do you think is the meaning behind Chang Sheng Gong's actions?"
Shen Huaichen...
Are you asking me? That's exactly what I mean!
"Well... it's hard to say! I guess they're trying to warn us and make us behave!"
Or rather... Chang Sheng Gong wants to sell weapons. "Shen Huaichen said.
“Selling weapons? Would he... sell fire bombs?” Burileg asked.
"I'm not sure about that, but I feel that Chang Sheng Gong probably just wanted to show off."
They now have powerful weapons, which can help us drive back the Northern Hu people.
"However, I'd like to see just how powerful the new fire thunder is," Shen Huaichen said.
Burileg immediately thought of the time when his father was still alive.
With just those few fire bombs, they drove the Northern Hu imperial army into a series of defeats...
New fire and thunder...
If the Ever-Victorious Duke can show it off, it must be even more powerful than before!
“Sir, if we asked Changsheng Gong to buy this kind of fire bomb, would he sell it to us?” Burileg suddenly asked.
"Well...it's hard to say!"
If it were very powerful, they might not sell it.
After all, we are the closest to them right now, and they are probably worried that we might buy the fire and thunder.
In the end, how are they used on them?
However, everything is negotiable.
"We'll see when the time comes! Let's see how powerful the fire and thunder are first," Shen Huaichen said with a smile.
Burileg nodded.
"Well, we'll see when the time comes! I'll go find Shen Qingming first. I won't be here for a couple of days; he needs to take good care of the gambling den and the brothel."
"We can't stop making money. What if Chang Sheng Gong is willing to sell later? That would cost a fortune!"
Shen Huaichen...
He almost forgot that his second son was also in the Sahara.
He spent every day hanging out in casinos and brothels, watching money flow in like water, and grinned with a big white smile every day...
