“Deal. I’ll take the order for 100,000 tents, but it will have to wait until my workshop is built.”
Upon hearing this, Long Yuan nodded quickly, "Don't worry, I'll speed up the process at the workshop and get it done as soon as possible."
Long Yuan returned home pleased with himself and wrote a letter, intending to make the arrangements with the people in the capital.
After all, it takes quite a long time to travel from here to the capital and back, and we also need them to give us a number so we can arrange a time for them to send someone to pick it up.
I felt a bit hungry this morning because I just ate whatever was convenient.
Looking around and seeing that no one was around, he went back to his room and took out a few boxes of self-heating hot pot from his spatial storage.
She hadn't eaten anything with such strong flavors in a long time, and to be honest, she really missed it.
When Long Yuan returned, he saw Su Muyao sitting alone in the courtyard, holding chopsticks in her hand, her lips red from the spiciness, breathing out warm air as she ate something.
He peeked at the bright red thing and saw that it was obviously loaded with chili peppers.
However, chili peppers are also a very good product, and some can be transported to the soldiers at the border.
Even though we knew that the peppers that were previously presented as tribute from other countries had the effect of warding off the cold, we couldn't buy them in bulk because of their high price.
"I never knew you could handle so much spicy food!"
Su Muyao was eating intently when she suddenly heard Long Yuan's voice, which startled her so much that she dropped her chopsticks on the ground.
Looking at the chopsticks lying on the ground, they were unusable.
Looking at Long Yuan with resentment, Su Muyao said, "Can you please not be so scary in broad daylight? Could you please make some noise when you walk next time?"
Long Yuan coughed a few times. "Sorry, is it possible that you were too engrossed in eating? Your mouth is already so spicy, but you still want to eat."
Su Muyao rolled her eyes at Long Yuan and said, "Don't spoil my fun, go away."
Long Yuan, standing to the side, laughed so hard he couldn't stand up straight. "Little guy, how old are you?"
"None of your business. What brings you here?"
Long Yuan saw that the little dumpling in front of him looked at him with disdain.
"Of course I'm here to give you money. What, you think I'd make 100,000 tents for you without any payment?"
"How is that possible? (*｀へ′*)"
"Then what do you want? We're already so familiar with each other, just name your price."
She just makes demands randomly?
Su Muyao let out a wicked laugh, and Long Yuan secretly cried out in alarm.
"Then I want gold."
How much?
Su Muyao wasn't quite sure what "ten thousand gold coins" meant either.
Ten thousand shouldn't be a lot, right? Su Muyao thought to herself.
Thinking back to how he had contributed sweet potatoes and potatoes, the current emperor had only given him a small amount of money.
Long Yuan paused for a moment. He wasn't without gold, but taking it out would be too conspicuous, given the amount he had.
"I'll give you an IOU."
Su Muyao was speechless. Did they really think she was a three-year-old?
Why would she need an IOU? And who will she go to to collect the debt in the future?
"You...you're not out of money, are you?"
Su Muyao looked Long Yuan up and down, and thought that he didn't seem to be short of money.
He was so generous before, even paying for the workshop himself. That can't be right. Did he spend it all?
This was the first time Long Yuan had been suspected of being broke, and his feelings were incredibly complicated.
He was just worried that Su Muyao taking so much gold would be too conspicuous and cause trouble later.
This little girl doesn't appreciate his good intentions at all, and even doubts his financial resources.
"you"
Long Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Serving the country and the people is our duty. I was originally planning to donate these things free of charge."
Su Muyao "..."
Ah, yes, you're so high and mighty, you're so patriotic and love your people, you have the world in your heart.
Wouldn't she, who's asking for money, be seen as a petty person who doesn't care about the world?
“Long Yuan, you are a member of the royal family, so you must have your reasons for handing it over. You can’t deduct it from us common people. Besides, I don’t pay people to work.”
Long Yuan quickly denied it, saying, "I never said you could donate for free. Don't overthink it."
"Alright, you can take the things first, and we'll give them back whenever we need them."
Long Yuan was taken aback at first, then asked, "You don't want an IOU? Do you really trust me?"
"I'm sure someone like you, a member of the royal family, wouldn't owe me, an ordinary citizen, any money."
"Haha, but have you thought it through? There's no IOU. Once I take the goods and leave this door, our business will be settled."
Su Muyao wasn't stupid; she could tell that the little boy in front of her was teasing her.
"By the way, how's the battle going?"
Long Yuan's face suddenly darkened; the intelligence that his secret guards had just delivered last night was not optimistic.
"It's hard to say. If we win, we can maintain peace for ten years. If we lose, I'm afraid you will all have to choose to flee the famine."
At this point, Su Muyao's expression completely changed.
She has always lived in peacetime and has never experienced war.
These two words only appear in textbooks and seem to be very far removed from her life.
But now, hearing Long Yuan say this, it seems as if war is everywhere.
For people like them, who are at the very bottom of society, living a good life is extremely difficult.
Immediately, I thought of the lovely people behind me, and for a moment I felt a pang of sadness and a sense of powerlessness welled up inside me.
She certainly understood that in ancient times, ordinary people wouldn't know anything about warfare unless it was happening right in front of them.
Seeing the little one's increasingly gloomy face, Long Yuan lost interest in teasing him any longer.
"Don't worry, the imperial court has already sent reinforcements, and we still have a chance to win this battle."
However, how could wars in the Cold Age be without bloodshed and sacrifice?
What Long Yuan didn't say was that even if this victory were won, it would be achieved with the blood of thousands of soldiers.
"I see you have such high martial arts skills, but you're not that old. Could it be that you started practicing martial arts when you could walk?"
Long Yuan was taken aback; he really didn't know how to answer that question.
Although he started learning martial arts at the age of two, it was mainly because he was reborn and had the memories of his previous life. As long as he honed his foundation, these martial arts skills would be easy for him to master.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Su Muyao continued, "When you grow up, will you also go to the battlefield?"
Going to the battlefield, that's for sure.
As the emperor's eldest son, he was pampered from a young age and was the rightful heir.
In a few more years, when I'm a little older, I'll be going to the military for training.
Their presence here now is merely a prelude to avoid their sharp edge; they will return as kings when they are fully grown.
However, the little dumpling's words reminded him of a real battlefield where soldiers clashed.
In my past life, I fought my way out of a bloodbath, which is why even though I was crippled, no one dared to bully me.
Perhaps he should have taken on the responsibilities that were originally his sooner.
"That's true. You're already a member of the royal family, so naturally you wouldn't want to risk your life on the battlefield."
One wrong move and it could lead to the destruction of your family and the loss of your loved ones—how tragic! The most tragic thing in life is dying before you've spent all your money.
