Chapter 58, the lion opens his mouth

In the evening, the town chief's mansion was brightly lit and as bright as day. The mansion held a banquet to reward the hard-working guards and generals of the Yingran army in the war, celebrate the victory of the war, and wash the dust for the young general Jun.

There are 4,000 troops from Yingran City, all of whom are cavalry. Except for some of them escorting prisoners back to Yingran City, the rest are still there. The area of Guhu Town is small. These Yingran soldiers are arranged in the barracks outside the town, and Gu Long was also rewarded with a banquet.

Junfeng took several generals and 30 guards to the banquet in Guhu Town.

On the high rostrum, Gu Long sits in the middle, Jun Feng sits on Gu Long's left hand side, and next to Jun Feng is Jun Zhantian's younger brother Jun, who is Junfeng's deputy. This man and Jun Feng's appearance are completely two extremes. Jun Feng is a handsome teenager with red lips and white teeth and a face like crown jade. However, Jun's battlefield is three or five thick, his face is dark, as if it were charcoal, and his hands are as thick as old tree roots. Just looking at these hands, you can know that this person is at least very hard. He can crack the lion leopard, and then go down. , are several small generals of Yingran City.

Gu Long sits Long Huaijian on his right hand side, and the rest of the seats are the owners of some big merchants. As for the contestants and their masters in several villages around Guhu Town, as well as the players of Guhu Town, some generals in the guard, they sit in the second, third, or even tenth seats below due to the heirs of ancient leopards, ancient legends and some big merchants.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, and politeness, I finally entered the play and entered the highlight of tonight.

"Gu Mayor, before the last general came, my father told two things and wanted me to discuss with the mayor." Junfeng said to Gu Long, who was persuading him to drink.

Gu Long was stunned and put down the glass, and the look of vigilance flashed in his eyes. Then he looked at Junfeng and said enthusiastically, "What do you want to discuss? What do the major general have to order, but it doesn't matter. As long as Gu can do it, he will never refuse."

"The mayor of Chenggu is warm, and the general will be rude." Junfeng said lightly: "Remuch, the war in Yingran City has been frequent, and in recent years, the income of Yingran City has also been at a low level, so that it can't make ends meet and can no longer support military expenses. My father wants to borrow 100,000 loads of food and 1 million taels of silver from the owner of the ancient city. I hope the owner of the ancient city can agree."

Gu Long's body was slightly shocked, and the matter still came. Although he had guessed a few things, he should not brazenly station troops in Guhu Town, but it was inevitable to squeeze a meal, but he did not expect that Ying Rancheng was actually a lion who opened his mouth and almost emptied Guhu Town at once.

It is also very difficult for Guhu Town to take out this money after the war. Junfeng deliberately wanted to empty Guhu Town in order to prevent Guhu Town from developing too strong force, so as not to dominate Yingran City.

This is **naked snatch!

Long Huaijian sat opposite Junfeng and also heard his words. His body was slightly shocked and his eyes glanced at Junfeng.

"What? Jun Shaocheng mainly borrows 100,000 loads of grain and 1 million taels of silver? This is a big business owner sitting next to Long Huaijian. In shock, he shouted, opened his eyes wide, and stared straight at Junfeng, as if he wanted to look at the man who opened his mouth.

but he was very disappointed. Junfeng always had a smile on his face, and his expression was natural. He didn't think there was anything wrong. With this calm time and the city government, Junfeng has the demeanor of Jun Zhantian.

Junfeng is not worried that Gulong will not agree. Guhu Town has suffered serious losses now, and almost half of the 7,000 guards have disappeared. Various forces nearby are coveting the fat meat of Guhu Town and are ready to move, and they can't wait to jump up and take a bite. In this case, in addition to holding the thigh of Yingran City, Guhu Town is really There is no other way to deal with the immediate crisis.

The owner's voice was so loud that the table of Gu Shichuan was also heard. On this table were ancient legends, Long Fei, copper head, Gao Kun, Longhuaqiu, and several contestants from Guhu Town. In yesterday's war, Gao Kun and Longhuaqiu were also hung up. At this time, one person was tied with a veil on his head, and one person's The left hand is still hanging around the neck.

"So much! Feilongzhuang may not be able to save so much for decades. The lion opens his mouth! *It's almost the same." Before the ancient legend reacted, the copper head had shouted, and the copper head's voice was loud. At this time, it was surprised that almost the whole banquet hall heard it.

Gu Shichuan stood up, looked at Jun Feng, and then looked at his father. Seeing Gu Long's face as usual, he sat down again.

A cold light flashed in Jun Feng's eyes and swept over the copper head, with a faint sneer at the corners of his mouth.

Jun Zhandi turned his head and looked over, with a cold light shining in his eyes and a sneering at the corners of his mouth.

Gu Long smiled slightly. Although his heart was secretly angry, his face was motionless, just a faint "oh", as if he had just heard a most common thing. He calmly looked at Jun Feng and said lightly, "Didn't the major general say that there are two things? Please say one more thing together and let us consider it. Anyway, everyone is there. If I can't decide alone, how about we discuss it after the banquet and give a reply to the major general?

This time, Junfeng's turn was stunned and his eyes were like fire. He looked at Gu Long's face a few times before he lowered his eyes and smiled faintly and said, "Since the ancient city owner asked, I will say it together and say two things. In fact, they are both one thing. Guangwu County has been frequent wars recently, and Yingcheng has participated in many times. Because there are too many wars, However, the city has not been able to make ends meet. The people are suffering, have no food and clothing, and the armor of the army is broken, and it is really impossible to support it any more. My father has no choice but to cooperate with the big bosses of Guhu Town. I hope that the big bosses can support and let Yingran City cope with this period of life. If several people agree, Yingran City will be grateful to you. If there is a need in Guhu Town in the future, Yingran City will definitely follow and will never break his promise.

Gu Long and Long Huaijian were stunned. They didn't know what they wanted to cooperate with Guhu Town, but they could make Jun Zhantian connect the whole Yingran City. Gu Long looked at Junfeng and said slowly, "I don't know what kind of cooperation, please ask the major general to make it clear."

It turned out that both Guhu Town, Yingran City, and even Guangwu County belonged to the Neil Federation, one of the nine major countries on the mainland. The Neil Federation is not a monarchy, which is a bit like a federal conference system. This country is composed of six counties, and national affairs are discussed and resolved by the kings of these six small counties. As for the usual handling of national affairs, it is held by a person equivalent to the Speaker, called the head of state, who is flowed by the kings of six countries. Take turns. Guangwu is one of the six counties of the Neil Federation, and the other five small counties are: Yunling, Gouliang, Xiuliang, Guangchang and Guangming.

Although the Neil Federation is similar to the United Kingdom, the governance of its six counties is different. The relationship between Guangwu County and other forces in the country is similar to that between the main country and the vassal state.

For example, Guangwu and Yingran City, Guangwu, no matter who is the owner of Yingran, or even the finance of Yingran City, your own wealth, your main match, as long as you pay a certain amount of silver every month, that is, tribute. Of course, the number of troops must be controlled below a certain number. Otherwise, it will offend the majesty of Guangwu County, but it will also be majestic to Guangwu County. Moreover, when Guangwu has conflicts with other countries or forces and needs to send troops, Yingran City must send troops according to the proportion of the city's army, which must not be less. For example, there are two in Yingran City Ten thousand troops, every time Guangwu recruits, must send 10,000 troops, leaving only enough strength to defend the city. Similarly, if there are difficulties in the city, such as financial shortage, Guangwu will not care about it. You can find a way to solve it by yourself. However, in Guangwu, there has never been a city whose military and financial resources can surpass that of Guangwu. Not to mention the generosity of Guangwu County, it is by no means comparable to other places, and the population is much larger than other places. Even if a city's financial resources suddenly increase and the troops suddenly increase, Guangwu will come up with various ways to reduce their strength. For example, in a war, send the army of the city as a striker to let them consume some, and wait until it is almost consumed before bringing them back. In this way, there is no more army than other cities, which can not only balance the strength of several cities in China, but also ensure the deterrence of Guangwu County.

And Yingran City has a similar relationship with its own inner town.

During this period, Yingran City was indeed due to the large number of wars in Guangwu, the dispatch of troops and the large consumption, so the financial resources were exhausted, so I had to come to negotiate a deal with Guhu Town. Of course, it was even more coveting the financial resources of Guhu Town, and saw that Guhu Town lost too much this time and was unable to protect Guhu Town itself. However, such a lion opened his mouth and grabbed a piece of good soup before other forces.

Junfeng said, "There are several things in this cooperation. The first thing is to hope that the big bosses can also set up a subcolon in Yingran City, which can also benefit the merchants and ordinary people in Yingran City. The second is that I hope that the big bosses can hire some troops from Yingran City to help protect them when trafficking goods in the future. The third thing is Yingran City There are also some goods. My father hopes that the big bosses in Guhu Town can show a clear way for Yingran, so that the right merchants can sell them, or cooperate with the big bosses.

After listening to Jun Feng's words, everyone above the chief was silent. The ancient legend sitting on the right below did not want to eat or drink after hearing Jun Feng's first thing. He had been listening for a long time. After hearing Jun Feng say the second thing, he also fell silent.

All those who heard Jun Feng's words are thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of this matter at this time. They analyze the pros and cons of these three things one by one and weigh the gains and losses.

The first thing is that if all the big merchants in Guhu Town go to Yingran City to open a sub-number, there are no less than a dozen large and small merchants in Guhu Town, and each person's property is an exciting amount. If everyone goes to open a sub-colon, Yingran City will prosper as a result. I don't know how much tax the city can collect every year. Of course, if the city has sufficient customers, these merchants can also make a lot of money. Second, if every merchant in Guhu Town hires the right army when trafficking goods, this is also a big business for Jun Zhantian. It can not only reduce the cost of the army in peacetime, but also earn a sum of money, and also train the army. Of course, if Guhu Town hires the army of Yingran City, then There is no pain in the loss. Anyway, it is not your own people who die. Third, every big merchant in Guhu Town has fixed sales channels. Even if you introduce some ways to the merchants of Yingran City, you are not afraid that they will rob their business for the time being. However, you must guard against people. If Yingran's business becomes bigger in the future, with the military strength of Yingran City, those who deal with Guhu Town It is not impossible for forces and merchants to be forced by the situation or think that they should be more capable of ensuring their supply of goods and trade with Yingran City.

The first two things are easy to do, and they have nothing to lose, but the latter thing is obviously that Yingran City wants to seize the benefits of Guhu Town with strong military power.

Gu Long thought quickly for a while and weighed the pros and cons. As soon as he wanted to speak, he was suddenly stepped on by Long Huaijian. In a blink of an eye, he saw that Long Huaijian did not look at Gu Long. He just stared at the wine table. First, he drank a sip of wine slowly and picked up a piece of chicken with his chopsticks. Ding, put it in his mouth. Gu Long and Long Huaijian have been friends for so long. Although they don't know what their old friends are thinking, they changed to: "Let's discuss the following things first and reply to the young city owner two days later, how about it?"

"Okay! The ancient town chief ordered, how dare you not obey? Jun Feng stayed quietly in the ancient tiger for two days, waiting for the good sound of the ancient town." Jun Feng's eyes swept over Long Huaijian imperceptiblely, and the cold light flashed and fleeting.

"Come on, come on, tonight is not only for you, but also for Major General Jun. How about you, please give me a toast to Major General?" Gu Long stood up and greeted the people in the hall loudly.

"Good!" Everyone in the hall stood up and picked up their glasses.

"slow down!" Junfeng also stood up, but pressed his hand on the wine glass and looked at Gu Long and said, "Gu town chief, I heard that this is the biennial martial arts competition in Guhu Town. I don't know if it's over. I heard that these players are all martial artists who choose one of the 100. I have been good at martial arts since I was a child. I am happy to hear that. I want to be with these players for a while. I hope the mayor of Guzhen will Xu."

"This!" Gu Long was stunned and looked at Junfeng and said, "The major general is noble and his martial arts are strong. They are just a joke. Why do the young general need to have common knowledge with them?"

Junfeng smiled faintly and said, "This is just a martial arts friend. Let's learn from each other and increase your knowledge. Why do the city owner need to see outside?"

Gu Long pondered for a long time before saying helplessly, "Well, can we arrange it together the day after tomorrow?"

"Do as ordered by the ancient mayor!" Junfeng smiled with satisfaction, picked up the glass, motioned to Gu Long and others, and drank it in one gulp.
