Chapter 491 Stupid Li Mi
Shen Luoyan, the snake strategist, also brought many gifts. The purpose was of course to get Dulan to release the thousands of soldiers who were still struggling.
"It's easy to say, but the matter of them besieging my shop cannot be settled so easily. One soldier is worth ten taels of silver, and a thousand soldiers are exactly ten thousand taels. You don't need this money in Wagang Village, right?"
"No problem. It's an honor for me, Wagang Village, that Mr. Du can open up the world. Ten thousand taels of silver can be prepared in one day, and I will send it over as soon as possible." Shen Luoyan agreed first, and when she wanted to come to Li Mi They should also be willing to pay the money.
Unfortunately, Shen Luoyan thought wrong this time. Ten thousand taels of silver was not a treat for dinner. All of Wagang Village belongs to Li Mi, and these ten thousand taels also belong to Li Mi. It's like plucking the feathers from an iron rooster.
Shen Luoyan returned to the camp and told Li Mi about Dulan's request. Li Mi's face immediately turned ugly, "Military advisor, you should discuss this matter with me first before deciding."
Shen Luoyan had already agreed, and Li Mi could only reluctantly take out the money. However, Shen Luoyan's behavior of killing first and then showing off made him very unhappy. Sooner or later, the world belongs to him, Li Mi, and there are still people who want to take money from him. Isn't this asking for death?
"Military advisor, you must be tired. Go and rest early."
Shen Luoyan retreated, but she clearly felt the change in Li Mi's attitude. The wise master in his heart has changed, and he seems to have become a miser.
In the next day, Shen Luoyan felt it more clearly, because Li Mi's attitude completely changed and he did not even notify her of the military meeting.
First, Li Mi was very slow in preparing the silver, which made the soldiers wait for two more days. And when she saw the 10,000 taels of silver prepared by Li Mi, she found that the silver was mixed with other things and was not pure at all.
Li Mi was so stingy that Shen Luoyan sat in the room in despair. He actually wanted to deceive Du Lan with these tricks that he couldn't even deceive himself. What was his lord thinking?
"My lord, why are you stingy with this little silver?" Shen Luoyan was not such an idiot as to think that Du Lan was so easy to talk to. Li Mi's behavior of shoddy goods was simply too much.
"Military advisor, breaking into my commander's camp without my order is a serious crime," Li Mi said.
Shen Luoyan knelt down and said, "Commander, Luoyan is guilty."
"Well, this is your first offense." Li Mi pretended to be generous and said, "Military advisor, what's the matter?"
"Commander, those ten thousand taels of silver..."
"Isn't the money ready? Military Advisor Lao will send it to you. If nothing happens, just step back. I still have things to deal with." Li Mi had a guilty conscience and interrupted Shen Luoyan and sent her out directly.
Of course Wagangzhai could get the 10,000 taels of silver, but Li Mi didn't want to take it, but he had to accept Dulan's blackmail for the sake of face, so he came up with a way to use fake silver. It would be best if Duran releases him at that time. If Dulan didn't let anyone out and let the news out, all he had to do was insist that Dulan had swallowed the money and slandered Wagang Village.
Looking at Li Mi's look, Shen Luoyan knew that if he persisted in saying anything, his life would be in danger, "Well, I'll set off today and my subordinates will resign."
Li Mi waved his hand impatiently.
Outside Li Mi's tent, Shen Luoyan met Li Shiji, who was also an important minister in Li Mi's tent and Shen Luoyan's fiancé.
"Luoyan, what did the commander say?"
"He didn't say anything. I'm going to prepare and enter Luoyang today." Shen Luoyan doesn't want to talk about marriage now, or even mention his personal feelings. She now wants to be a strategist instead of a woman.
"It's not safe to go with someone else." Li Shiji obviously knew about Li Mi's behavior. "That Dulan is weird, and his behavior is very erratic. Now that the commander-in-chief has decided like this, I'm afraid something will happen to you."
"Since this incident was started by me, it should also be ended by me. I will definitely let those soldiers come back safely." Shen Luoyan said solemnly, "I should have threatened to die to stop the commander in the first place."
"Luoyan, I can't blame you for this. Who knew that Dulan was so powerful." Li Shiji said, "Listen to my advice and let others send the money."
"Don't try to persuade me, I'm leaving now." Shen Luoyan didn't look back.
For three days, Dulan paid people to feed and drink those buried on the ground, which made the soldiers deeply aware of Dulan's benevolence. When Shen Luoyan arrived, they even felt that they should not have been enemies with such a benevolent and righteous man if they had known better.
Shen Luoyan brought the money, and when Du Lan saw it, he realized that he too would be so despised one day. Li Mi's failure seems to be because his character is also a big problem. It is really weak to not even take such an opportunity to win people's hearts.
Shen Luoyan looked at Dulan's expression nervously. Dinisha and Saori were also observing. This was the first time that their husband and father had been treated so perfunctorily.
Dulan picked up a certain amount of silver and suddenly smiled, "There is no need to move these silvers. We will distribute them to the thousand soldiers. They have worked hard in the wind and rain for these three days. Ten taels of silver per person is considered hard work." He also told This money was given to them by their commander Li Mi, so they should keep it in their pockets."
Shen Luoyan's expression changed. This batch of fake silver was obviously rushed out and contained insufficient silver. It was easy to tell that it was fake. Although I was very careful to find a deserted alley to hand over, it was inevitable that someone would see me. If these fake silver falls into the hands of those soldiers, it will not be far from the separation of people's hearts. The leader of Wagang Village used fake money to redeem his soldiers, which was a real loss of face, especially if they didn't change hands.
I already knew that Duran was not a greedy person. The 10,000 taels of silver was just a way out for me. The Marshal went too far this time, Shen Luoyan thought.
"Not right. The silver was given to you by the Marshal. Let's settle it first, so that people won't say that our Wagangzhai is short of weight." Now she wants Duran to move the box to the store. Even if the original box comes out later, she can have an explanation, saying that it was replaced by Duran in the store. If the box is distributed while it is still on the car of Wagangzhai, she can't quibble, everyone is watching.
"No need, your Wagangzhai has become more and more prosperous under the leadership of Li Mi." Duran said, "The silver will be distributed, Shen Junshi, you stay, the Rome branch is still short of a shopkeeper, I think you are very suitable."
"You?!" Shen Luoyan didn't expect Duran to detain her.
"What do you mean by me? I won't take Li Mi's tricks seriously. It's just a dream for such a person to be an emperor, and it's a daydream." Duran said, and then the silver in his hand twisted and turned into liquid, and finally turned into a hairpin, in the shape of twin goddesses with one wing each standing back to back, and the pillar under his feet was the hairpin, "Wife, a gift."
Dinisha smiled and lowered her head. Duran carefully inserted the hairpin into the goddess's golden bun, making Denise more beautiful.
Seeing this scene, Shen Luoyan no longer had the intention to resist.
"Saori, take this junior to learn about European customs and set up an outpost."
Saori made a face, and then disappeared from the street with Shen Luoyan. Duran waved his hand and asked the servants to distribute the silver. He had to prepare and go to Dugu's house for a meal.
