Chapter 553: Storing food on the spot

As soon as Lorna opened her mouth to ask for 90%, Gomer felt his chest was tight and his blood pressure was rising.

Throughout the ages, in all walks of life, I have never heard of any business that is divided into 19%, and the supplier gets 10%! The sharer gets 90%! The nobles were silent, the slaves were in tears, and the bandits and bullies all called out!

expert!

It’s still profitable!

But Gomer is really in trouble right now, because strictly speaking, they don't call it "doing business", they call it "selling stolen goods."

If the business cannot be negotiated, the worst case scenario is to stop doing it and just find another business partner.

But if the stolen goods cannot be sold, it will be a big deal. If you hold it in your hand, you may explode one day.

Because of the Dragon Fire Festival, Gome and others got into great trouble. It could be said that they were half-stepped off the cliff and were already prepared to be imprisoned. It would be a good thing if they could avoid being executed.

Now, Lorna reached out and gave them a chance, asking if they would take it.

If you don't accept it, the stolen goods will be in your hands and you won't be able to sell them. You won't get a penny, and you will be imprisoned. You have to worry every day whether the stolen goods will be discovered.

Next, even though it is 19 that can make people vomit blood, at least 10% is still left in hand, and if you climb the mountain of the future of His Highness, you will most likely be able to escape unscathed.

How to choose between these choices? Although Gomer and others felt aggrieved, they still had a clear idea.

And to be honest, when it comes to dividing the spoils, I am not afraid that the superior will take more, but I am afraid that the superior will not take it.

If you don't take it, it means that they are not the same as you, there is no room for negotiation, and there will definitely be trouble in the future.

Taking it means that the two sides are of the same mind, and the more he takes, the deeper the Shangguan gets himself into, and the more concerned he becomes about this matter, so that he will try his best to protect the people below him.

It can be said that the more Lorna asks for it now, the safer these subordinates will be.

Gomer gritted his teeth and risked his life: "Okay! Just follow what His Highness the Prince said, 19 points!"

"That's right!" Lorna showed a satisfied smile. She put one hand on Gomer, who had a sad face, and the other hand on Du Mingwei, who was silent with his eyes lowered. She said in a very candid tone, "All the money I have been given is all

Counting as the start-up capital you contributed, the more you contribute now, the more you will earn in the future! As long as you follow me wholeheartedly, no matter what the benefits are in the future, I will never forget you."

These words were like a reassurance, which immediately calmed down Gomer's mood. His Royal Highness the Prince was right. Take a longer-term view and treat it as a long-term investment.

After the negotiation was completed, Gomer asked his servant to bring a bottle of fine wine from the cellar. After unsealing it, everyone drank a glass together.

After drinking the wine, a familiar smile appeared on Kino's face: "Now that we have reached a consensus, why not take the Prince to see the food? Then I can start arranging the transportation route."

"Okay, please." Gomer took the lead and went out.

In order not to attract the attention of outsiders, Gome traveled very quietly, taking only Du Mingwei, Chino, and Lorna with him. The four of them wore cloaks that concealed their identities and walked all the way.

Surprisingly, the place where Gome walked was not anywhere else, but the eight major granaries of Danyu City.

The eight major granaries have been burned to ruins by the fire. Temporary granaries for distributing relief food were built outside the ruins, and the inner area is still in a mess.

Gomer avoided the crowd and entered the granary through an uninhabited path.

Looking at the vast ruins in front of her, Lorna was very puzzled: "Didn't you say you were going to see the food? Why did you bring us here?"

Gomer showed a mysterious smile: "The 1.62 million tons of relief grain are related to our lifeline, so of course they must be placed in the safest place. There is a saying that the most dangerous place... is the safest place!"

Gomer led the three of them to meander through the ruins, finally stopping in front of a broken stone pillar and waving to Du Mingwei.

I saw Du Mingwei standing in front of another stone pillar. The two of them nodded regularly facing each other, as if they were synchronizing the rhythm. Then they pressed the hidden mechanism at the bottom of the stone pillar and turned it at the same time.

"Boom..." The dull voice was like the roar of a beast, and a sudden vibration came from the surroundings. The ground where everyone was standing began to slowly sink, revealing a circular hole with a diameter of more than 20 meters.

When the ground sank about fifty meters, a hidden passage for passage was revealed on the side wall.

Gomer led the three people into the passage, pressed the button, and the sunken ground rose again, returning to its original position without any clues.

As the four people walked in the tunnel, a subtle sense of weightlessness kept coming, and the temperature continued to drop, indicating that they were constantly walking underground.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, Gomer moved regularly on the wall, and the shining fluorescent light came on one after another. Those light sources were all light stones embedded in the wall, illuminating the enclosed underground space as bright as day.

There was a shocking scene in front of me.

The royal family distributed a total of 1.62 million tons of grain relief to Danyu City. One bag of wheat was calculated as one hundred kilograms, and the total was tens of millions of bags. They were piled up into high mountains, extending infinitely outward to the end of sight.

Spreading to unknown borders, endless.

"It turns out it's all here... The most dangerous place is the safest place. Who would have thought that the 'burnt' grain in the granary is hidden under the granary?" Kino looked sideways at Gome, amber.

His pupils were filled with smiles, "What a good idea."

Gome also smiled and said: "This underground space has been around for a long time. Only I, Lin Gengsen, Du Mingwei, and some close friends know about it. It is connected to the granary above and the underground canal below.

It is very convenient to move the food down and transport the food inside."

"Before the Dragon Fire Festival, we used thousands of slaves and spent less than half a month to have them move the relief grains from the granary here. All the shelves were replaced with sawdust smeared with desert fire, and finally the stone walls were closed.

Secret passage, once the fire burns, the sky is burned with flames above, but the silence below is as usual."

Lorna asked one more question: "Thousands of slaves helped carry it. If one of them leaks, wouldn't the matter be exposed?"

Gome waved his hand and laughed: "Why did the corpses leak out? They were all slaughtered after they were moved, and no one was left."

"A good trick." Kino repeated this sentence again, his smile getting deeper.

"Excellent." Gomer pointed to the distance and introduced, "Go to the bottom from here, and you can see the underground canal we secretly built. It leads directly to the lower reaches of the Qingjiang River, and you can go down the river to the outer sea."

"I don't need to worry about the cargo ships. Mr. Du Mingwei's caravan has more than a hundred heavy cargo ships, and they will definitely not be able to transport them all at once. We can transport them in batches. Well... As for the passes along the water transport route...

."

Lorna said calmly: "You only need to be responsible for transporting the goods onto the ship and contacting the people outside. Chino and I will help you solve the water transport pass issue to ensure a smooth journey."
