Shamasayi came over and said, "This is called red coral. It was brought by my Ada from southern Fujian. There are also these pearls, eighteen in total, all of the same size. They were from the Minyue King's Palace back then. These gems were bought by a large food merchant."
Yes, there is also this pure gold demon-conquering pestle. It came from body poison, or it is a treasure of some god over there. It is the most rare."
"Tsk tsk tsk! I didn't expect you have so many treasures at home."
"As long as Mr. Su likes it, I will give it all to him. I only ask him to take care of the little girl this time." Shamashayi said while moving closer to Su Ren, almost sticking to Su Ren's body.
Su Ren was focused on these treasures: "I didn't do anything to the city lord! I am just a small merchant, doing small business in the city lord's place. The city lord said this to me like a bad person."
"How could Mr. Su be a bad person? My small town has only ten thousand people. At best, it is just a small county in the Han Dynasty. It's just that the little girl is not old. She doesn't understand many things and was deceived by bad people, so she did some wrong things. Today
I came here to apologize to Mr., I hope Mr...."
Su Ren interrupted Shamashayi and raised his hand: "City Lord, please come in. It's really not suitable to stand in the courtyard and talk this late at night. Wuyang is so hot that it can kill people during the day, and it's unbearably cold at night.
Xiao Jinzi, bring me some clothes."
Before Shamasayi could make a move, Su Ren entered the house first. Before entering the house, he did not forget to give instructions: "Leader Gou, let the people collect the things. The city lord has changed his mind. We cannot refute the city lord's face.
"
She watched helplessly as her things were being carried away, but she didn't even finish her words. Shamasayi was unwilling and followed Su Ren into the house. It was indeed warmer than outside. The brazier was in the middle and the fine sandalwood was there.
The wood burning is booming. It's a waste of money to use this thing to keep warm. Su Ren usually doesn't do this.
No one even poured the water, so Su Ren smiled helplessly: "It makes the city lord laugh. My subordinates are not as good as the city lord's. They all went to bed late at night. Please forgive me for any negligence."
"Mr. Su, you're welcome. The little girl is really desperate. If the gentleman is willing to forgive the little girl this time, the little girl is willing to give Wu Yang away with both hands."
"This is impossible! How can I, a Han, rule this place of Yelang? Even if the city lord is willing, King Yelang will not let it go. Don't mention this matter again." Su Ren sighed: "To be honest, I am the same this time.
I have no choice but to be so ruthless that I would never dare to go against the city lord. Thank God that the city lord doesn’t blame me. Don’t worry, city lord. From now on, I will be a businessman peacefully and will never do anything detrimental to Wuyang again.
.”
At this time, Shamasayi finally breathed a sigh of relief, stood up quickly, and bowed down like a Han man: "Thank you very much, Mr. Su, regardless of the past grudges. As long as I am still the Lord of Wuyang City, Mr. Su will always be my most distinguished guest in Wuyang City.
"
"Su Ren is extremely grateful to have the city lord take such good care of him. Speaking of Wuyang, it is the closest to my big man and is also the most prosperous city nearby. The city lord should not let a guy like Sama lead the army. He is short-sighted, even if
If we don’t expand the territory, we must at least protect the territory and the people. Now that the city lord’s garrison has been destroyed by this person, it is really my fault. So be it, I am willing to fund the formation of an army for the city lord to protect Wuyang, I don’t know..."
"This, I'm afraid..."
"Oh! Since the city lord doesn't want it, forget it. I originally planned to give some of my big man's weapons to the city lord. It seems that the city lord has his own plan, so I'm just talking too much."
The butler on the side rolled his eyes and immediately said: "Mr. Su is an honest man, why don't the city lord be a man of beauty? In this way, it will not only solve our security problem in Wuyang, but also enhance our strength to prevent King Yelang from eyeing us."
, killing two birds with one stone, it couldn’t be better.”
Shamasay turned his head and glanced at his butler. The butler lowered his head humbly, with a normal expression on his face, nothing unusual.
Su Ren was also quite surprised. This housekeeper was usually quiet, and he had never cared about this person. Su Ren was shocked when he suddenly interrupted him today.
"The steward is right! I am a merchant. I can do any business. As long as it is beneficial to the city lord, I can do it well no matter how difficult it is." Su Ren looked at the steward: "Looking at the steward's appearance, he doesn't seem to be from Yelang?
"
The steward bowed to Su Ren: "I'm afraid Mr. Su got it wrong this time. I am an out-and-out Yelang native. I have been the city lord's steward for generations and have never left Wuyang."
After receiving Su Ren's promise, Shamasay was half relieved. After some stimulation at noon, when he led people into Liu Hong's room, he didn't expect Liu Hong to run away. Shamasay was so angry that he yelled.
If the housekeeper hadn't stopped me, I would have chased him on Pegasus. After discussing with the housekeeper in the room for a whole afternoon, I made up my mind to come to Su Ren.
Shamashay tried his best to keep his posture as low as possible, and even said that he would give up his position. As a woman, being able to do this is already a breakthrough. The housekeeper really guessed that Su Ren had no intention of Wu Yang.
Any ideas. It seems that as long as Su Ren is good friends, there is no big problem in keeping her Wuyang. But neither of them expected that Su Ren would pay to arm the army for them, which was far beyond Shamashay's expectations.
"My steward is very loyal to our Shama family and is the person I trust the most. When I was alive, Ada often told me that if I have any questions, I can ask the steward. Since the steward thinks it is feasible for Mr. Su to build an army for us,
The little girl didn’t refuse, but she didn’t know that this military officer…”
"We are Han people and will never interfere in Wuyang's affairs. However, I can recommend a person to the city lord, that is, your bodyguard. I think this person is good."
"Oh!" Shama Shayi was completely reassured. Su Ren indeed had no thoughts about her Wu Yang: "My bodyguard is also an old man of the Shama family. There is nothing wrong with him being a military officer."
"Hahaha, that's good. It seems that we had a good discussion tonight. City Lord, don't worry. I will send people back tomorrow to ask them to purchase soldiers and armor. However, this matter is more troublesome. City Lord needs to wait a little longer."
"Then there is Mr. Laosu."
After coming out of Su Ren's place, Shamasayi and his servant got into the carriage and walked along the road towards the city lord's palace. As soon as they left Su Ren's sphere of influence, Shamasayi couldn't wait to ask the housekeeper.
"Why did you agree to them building an army for us? Don't you think it's a little unusual for him to suddenly bring up this matter?"
The housekeeper bowed his head humbly: "It is indeed abnormal. If the city lord does not agree, Su Ren may have a way to make the city lord agree. I have also thought about doing this. Since Su Ren gave us this opportunity, we must take advantage of it.
When our army is completed, it will not be too late to deal with Su Ren! However, we must not be careless. We must control this army in our hands and never let the Han people get their hands on it."
"Okay! However, I still feel uneasy. Who knows what this Su Ren wants to do? Ever since I agreed to let him do business in Wuyang, we have all been passive. I am already afraid of this person."
"Don't be afraid, City Lord. He must be a Han. It won't be possible for a few decades to gain a foothold in Wuyang. By then, we won't be the same as we are now. As long as we endure for a while now, we will one day turn around."
Shamashayi slowly straightened up and took a deep breath: "I hope so!"
After sending Shamashay away, Su Ren couldn't wait to rush into the warehouse. Shamashay was extremely generous this time, and these things alone were worth much more than the fifty carts of goods he shipped back.
The warehouse was full of people. Hawking was imitating Shamashay and introducing the treasures: "This is called red coral. It was obtained from Minyue. It used to be from the palace of the King of Minyue. These pearls are eighteen in total."
Each one is the same..."
They were all country bumpkins. They stared at the dazzling treasure with wide eyes and couldn't bear to close their eyes with tears streaming down their faces.
"Sir is here!"
Everyone quickly made a way, and Su Ren put his hands behind his back and walked in slowly. He couldn't see clearly in the yard just now, but when he was put into the warehouse and illuminated by the surrounding torches, the room was resplendent and colorful. It seemed like there was a colorful cloud.
Wandering around in my head.
"Big brother, big brother! Can you give me a little gem? I will give it to Zhilan as a dowry. Who will dare to look down on my sister in the future?" Hawking held an agate in his hand and kept rubbing it, reluctant to let go.
"Ahem!" Su Ren coughed: "Okay, I'll give you the agate, but the dividends from returning this time will be gone."
"Ah! Isn't this too valuable?" Hawking quickly threw down the agate: "Just a finger-sized thing is worth my dividends for this trip. I can't eat it or use it. What do I do with it?"
Gou Tianming chuckled, put his arm around Hawking's shoulders and said, "You're stupid, sir. I'm just teasing you. Do you know how much that agate is worth? It's three thousand at least. Our dividend this time may not be three thousand."
money!"
"Ah! Then I want that gem!"
Huo Jingang reached out and Su Ren closed the lid of the box with a snap: "I want it now, but it's too late! Okay, okay, let's all go to bed. It's so late and there's no use looking at these dead things. Let's go back.
I’ll reward each of you with one!”
"Okay!" Everyone dispersed in a hurry.
Su Ren called Gou Tianming and Huo Jin and took them to his room.
After closing the door and pouring water, he said: "I've told you two things. First, Xiao Jinzi, you should immediately start checking Shamasayi's housekeeper. I think this person is not simple. He is definitely not from Yelang.
Second, Brother Gou will send someone back tomorrow to ask Fourth Brother to find some craftsmen. We are going to build a workshop here. Remember, as long as blacksmiths and stonemasons are involved, it doesn’t matter if they don’t know how to do it, as long as they have done it.”
Gou Tianming and Huo Jin nodded quickly without asking what Su Ren wanted to do. They knew that Su Ren had another big plan. (To be continued)
