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. Your Wagang Village is not short of this money, 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 for it.
It's a pity that Shen Luoyan thought wrong this time. The ten thousand taels of silver are 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 the iron rooster.
Shen Luoyan returned to the camp and told Li Mi about Du Lan'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 promised, and Li Mi had no choice but to reluctantly take out the money. However, Shen Luoyan's behavior of killing first and telling later made him very unhappy. Sooner or later, the world belongs to him, Li Mi, and yet there are still people who want to take money from him. If not seeking death, what is it?
"Commander, you must be tired. Go and rest early."
Shen Luoyan retreated, but she clearly felt the change in Li Mi's attitude. The master in her heart had changed, and she seemed to have turned into a miser.
In the next day, Shen Luoyan felt it more clearly, because Li Mi's attitude completely changed and she was not even notified 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 actually so stingy. 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 on earth was his lord thinking?
"Why are you so stingy about this little silver, my lord?" Shen Luoyan is not such an idiot as to think that Du Lan is so easy to talk to. Li Mi's behavior of shoddy goods is really 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. This is just one example." 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 you have nothing to do, please step back. I still have things to deal with." Li Mi had a guilty conscience and interrupted Shen Luoyan and sent her away directly.
Of course Wagangzhai could get 10,000 taels of silver, but Li Mi didn't want to take it, but he had to accept Du Lan's blackmail for the sake of face, so he came up with a way to use fake silver. If Du Lan If Lan releases him, that would be the best. If Dulan doesn't release him and let the news out, all he has to do is insist that Dulan swallowed the money and slandered Wagang Village.
Looking at Li Mi's look, Shen Luoyan knew that if he insisted on saying anything, his life would be in danger, "Well, I will set off today, and I 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 her personal feelings. She wants to be a military advisor now, not a woman.
"It's not safe to go with someone else." Li Shiji was obviously aware of Li Mi's behavior, "That Du Lan is weird, and his behavior is very erratic. Now that the commander-in-chief has made such a decision, 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-chief."
"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."
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 came, they even felt that they should not have known better. To be an enemy of such a benevolent and righteous man.
Shen Luoyan sent the money, and Du Lan looked at it and realized that he too would be so despised one day. Li Mi's failure seemed to be because his character was also a big problem. He didn't even want such an opportunity to win people's hearts. It was really weak. exploded.
Shen Luoyan looked at Dulan's expression nervously. Dinisha and Shazhi 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. Let's 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 a reward for the hard work." He also told Their money was given to them by their commander-in-chief Li Mi, so they kept it well 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 he carefully found a deserted alley to hand over the money, it was inevitable that someone would see it. 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 actually used fake silver to redeem his soldiers, which is really a loss of face, especially if they don't change hands.
He had known for a long time that Dulan was not greedy for money, and this ten thousand taels of silver was just to give him a step up. This time the commander went too far, Shen Luoyan thought.
"No, this money was given to you by the commander-in-chief. We should sort it out first, lest people say that our Wagang village will be short of money." Now we just want Dulan to move the box to the store, and then the original box will come out. She can also give her an explanation, saying that it was replaced by Dulan in the store. If the boxes are separated like this while they are still in the car in Wagangzhai, then she can't quibble, everyone is watching. .
"No need, your Wagang Village is becoming more and more prosperous under the leadership of Li Mi." Du Lan said, "The money will be sent out, and you stay, Commander Shen. The Rome branch still lacks a shopkeeper. I think you are very suitable."
"You?!" Shen Luoyan didn't expect that Du Lan would tie him up.
"What am I, I won't look at Li Mi's methods. It's just a dream for such a person to be the emperor, and it's still a daydream." Dulan said, and then the silver in his hand twisted and turned into liquid. , and then finally turned into a hairpin, in the shape of twin goddesses back to back, each with one wing. The pillar under their feet is the hairpin, "Wife, gift."
Dinisha smiled and lowered her head, and Duran carefully inserted the hairpin into the goddess's golden hair, making Dinisha even more beautiful.
Seeing this scene, Shen Luoyan could no longer resist.
"Shazhi, take this junior to learn about European customs and serve as an outpost."
Shazhi made a face, and then disappeared from the street with Shen Luoyan. Dulan waved his hand and asked the servants to distribute the money. He had to prepare and go to Dugu's house to have a meal.
