Chapter 113 The greatest tragedy in life is that one dies without spending all the money
"Deal, I'll accept the order for 100,000 tents, but it will have to wait until my workshop is built."
When Long Yuan heard this, he nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, I will increase the manpower at the workshop to get it out as soon as possible."
Long Yuan went back happily to write a letter, intending to hand it over to the people in the capital.
After all, it takes a long time to go from here to the capital and back, and we also need them to tell us the number, and then we can agree on a time for them to send someone to take it away.
I felt a little hungry because I just had a quick bite this morning.
After looking around and seeing that there was no one around, he returned to the room and took out a few boxes of self-heating hot pot from the space.
She really hadn't eaten such strong-tasting food for a long time, and to be honest, she missed it.
When Long Yuan came back, he saw Su Muyao sitting alone in the yard, holding chopsticks in her hand with her lips red from the spiciness, eating something while breathing heavily.
He stretched his head and took a quick look at the red stuff, and it was obvious that a lot of chili was added to it.
But then again, this pepper is also a very good thing and we can ship some to the soldiers at the border.
Even though we knew that chili peppers, which were previously tributed to China by other countries, had the effect of dispelling cold, we could not purchase them in bulk due to their high prices.
"I didn't expect you could eat so much spicy food."
Su Muyao was eating seriously when she suddenly heard Long Yuan's voice. She was so scared that the chopsticks in her hand fell to the ground.
Looking at the chopsticks that fell on the ground, they are unusable.
Looking at Long Yuan with resentment, Su Muyao said, "In broad daylight, can you not be so scary? Can you please make some noise when you walk next time?"
Long Yuan coughed lightly a few times and said, "Sorry, is it possible that you were too engrossed in eating? Your mouth is so spicy but you still want to eat."
Su Muyao rolled her eyes at Long Yuan and said, "Don't ruin my fun, just stay away."
Long Yuan was laughing so hard that he couldn't straighten his back. "Little guy, how old are you?"
"Why do you care? What's the matter?"
Long Yuan saw the little kid in front of him, who looked like he didn't like him.
"Of course I'm here to give you money. How can you make 100,000 tents for me without any compensation?"
"How is that possible? (*｀へ′*)"
"So what do you want? We are so familiar with each other now, you can ask for whatever conditions you want."
She just made the conditions casually?
Su Muyao laughed evilly, and Long Yuan cried out inwardly, "Oh no!"
“Then I want gold.”
"How much is acceptable?"
Su Muyao was also not sure, "10,000 gold, right?"
Ten thousand shouldn't be a lot, right? Su Muyao thought to herself.
Thinking that he had contributed sweet potatoes and potatoes before, the current emperor only gave him a little money.
Long Yuan paused. It's not that he didn't have the gold, but it would be too eye-catching if he took it out since there was so much of it.
"I'll write you an IOU."
Su Muyao was speechless. Did he really think she was a three-year-old child?
What does she need the IOU for? Who will she ask to cash it in the future?
"You...are you out of money?"
Su Muyao looked at Long Yuan from his feet up. This guy didn't look like someone who was short of money.
He was so generous before, including paying for the workshop with his own money. Could it be that he spent it all?
It was also the first time that Long Yuan was suspected of being poor, and he felt very complicated.
He was just worried that Su Muyao would be too ostentatious with so much gold and get into trouble later.
This little girl didn't understand his good intentions at all and even doubted his financial resources.
"you"
Long Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Serving the country and the people is our duty as human beings. I was prepared to donate these things for free."
Su Muyao: "..."
Ah, yes, you are noble and great, you love your country and your people, and you care about the world.
Then, wouldn't she, who asked for money, be considered a mean person with no regard for the world?
"Long Yuan, you are a royal relative, so you must have your reasons for paying the tribute. You can't just deduct money from us common people. Besides, I don't charge for hiring people to work."
Long Yuan quickly denied, "I didn't ask you to donate for free, don't think too much."
"Okay, you can take the things first and I'll give them to you when you need them."
When Long Yuan heard this, he was stunned at first, and then asked: "You don't want the IOU now, do you really trust me?"
"I believe that as a royal relative, you would never owe money to me, an ordinary citizen."
"Haha, but have you thought it through? Without the IOU, when I take the things and leave, our deal will be settled."
Su Muyao was not stupid and could naturally hear that the little boy in front of her was teasing her.
"By the way, what is the current battle situation?"
Long Yuan's face suddenly darkened. The intelligence that the secret guards had just delivered last night was not optimistic.
"It's hard to say. If we win, we can ensure ten years of peace. If we lose, I'm afraid you will all choose to flee."
At this point, Su Muyao's expression changed completely.
She has always lived in peacetime and has never experienced war.
These two words only appear in textbooks and seem very far away from her life.
But now when I heard Long Yuan say this, it seemed like war was everywhere.
It is extremely difficult for people like them at the bottom of society to live a good life.
I immediately thought of these lovely people behind me, and for a moment I felt a little sad and a feeling of powerlessness surged in my heart.
Of course she understood the ancient wars. Unless they happened right in front of her, the common people would not know about them.
Long Yuan looked at the little boy's increasingly dark complexion and no longer had the heart to tease the little guy.
"Don't worry, the court has already sent reinforcements, and we may still win this battle."
However, how can wars in the Cold Age be without bloodshed and sacrifice?
What Long Yuan didn't say was that even if this victory was won, it was achieved with the blood of thousands of soldiers.
"I see that you are very skilled in martial arts, but you are not that old. Could it be that you have been practicing martial arts since you could walk?"
Long Yuan was stunned at first. He really didn't know how to answer this question.
Although he has been practicing martial arts since he was two years old, it was mainly because he was reborn and had the memories of his previous life. As long as he honed his foundation, he could easily master these martial arts.
Seeing that he did not answer, Su Muyao continued to ask: "When you grow up, will you also go to the battlefield?"
Going to the battlefield, of course.
As the emperor's legitimate son, he has been loved since childhood and will be the legitimate heir in the future.
In a few years, when I am a little older, I should go to the army to gain experience.
He is here now just to avoid the enemy's attack, and will return as a king when he is fully grown.
However, the words of the little boy in front of him made him think of the battlefield where real soldiers met.
In my previous life, I fought my way out of a bloody storm, which is why no one dared to bully me even though I was disabled.
Perhaps he should have taken on the responsibilities that originally belonged to him earlier.
"That's right, since you are already a royal relative, you naturally wouldn't think of risking your life on the battlefield.
If you are not careful, your family will be destroyed, how tragic! The saddest thing in life is that you die without spending all your money. "
