After listening to Zhang Li's proposal, Huang Chao had to suppress his anger again, his eyes narrowed, and he patiently comforted Wang Teng, who was full of sickness: "If there is any problem, General Wang, you can just say it, now that I am back, I will be your backer!" As long as you can get food for the army, nothing is more difficult than this! ”

"Then, Your Majesty, the minister said?" Wang Teng deliberately looked at Huang Chao with a hesitant expression, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he asked in a trembling whisper.

"Say! If there is anything to say, say it directly! Huang Chao waved his hand and agreed loudly, looking extremely refreshing on the surface, but in fact he was almost impatient.

Seeing this, Wang Teng also stood up tremblingly from his seat, bowed to Huang Chao, nodded heavily, and responded in a deep voice: "Okay, the minister will take the liberty to say it directly!" ”

Immediately, Wang Teng reported all the exchange conditions negotiated with the Jin Chamber of Commerce to Huang Chao in detail, during which there was no slightest drag, and the whole person no longer looked like he was sick, but had a feeling of being energetic, and even made people wonder if he was deliberately pretending to be sick just now.

When Huang Chao heard all the conditions, he couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at Wang Teng with a puzzled expression and asked, "This is not too much?" No matter what people say, they are all rich businessmen and giants in the Jiangnan area! The money and grain lent to our Daqi court naturally need to be returned! Even if it is proposed to be knighted, it is not an exaggeration! The soldiers who fought on the battlefield contributed to the country, and the money and food contributed by others were naturally meritorious! What's more, it is better to provide food and salary for our army first, no matter how you say it, you should also take a big credit! Not too much at all, not too much at all! ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think?" After talking to himself for a while, Huang Chao turned his gaze to the people below and asked for opinions.

"Not too much! Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's not too much! An official with a slightly older grade stood up and kept nodding at Huang Chao in agreement, then glanced at everyone, and continued to analyze in a calm tone: "Although these people provide food and salary for my Daqi for their own interests, this is not the point at the moment!" What's more, even in a peaceful and prosperous era, if there is no certain profit drive, who will provide a large amount of food and salary for the imperial court in vain? As the saying goes, no profit can not be early, no treachery is not a business! What's more, this matter is that they provide food and salary first, which is completely beneficial and harmless to my Great Qi Imperial Court! Even if it is an official knighthood after the fact, it is not an exaggeration! ”

As soon as the words fell, another minister immediately stepped out and said to Huang Chao: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks so!" Then, after a pause, he continued: "And that's not all! And the minister thinks that His Majesty should make a decision on this matter as soon as possible! After all, the two places are far apart, and time is pressing! ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! Zhang Li also lost no time in standing up, first looked at Wang Teng, who was hanging his head next to him, with a faint sneer on the corner of his mouth, and then said to Huang Chao: "If the conditions discussed between General Wang and the wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan are not too much!" It's just that the point is when will they be able to provide food and pay for our army? When will it be shipped to Chang'an and how can it be shipped to Chang'an? ”

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized, and they all talked in a low voice, and at the same time cast appreciative glances at Zhang Li one after another. But Zhang Li didn't care about all this, paused for a moment, ignored the whispers around him, and continued to analyze Huang Chao, and even had some elements of complaint: "There is one more thing, Your Majesty!" According to what the ministers and all the adults present have learned, General Wang has been in contact with this matter for a long time, but there is still no reliable news! Now that Your Majesty has returned, I hope that Your Majesty can make a decision as soon as possible, as long as the food and salary arrive, the morale of our army will definitely be great! At that time, whether it is to hold Chang'an or send troops to meet it, with the solidity of Chang'an City and the army of hundreds of thousands, our army will still have a certain advantage! ”

"Yes! Now that Tongguan is in the hands of the first person, even if the food and salary in Jiangnan are ready, how to transport it in! Everyone doesn't care whether Zhang Li is helping Wang Teng speak or tearing down the stage, what they care about is whether they can finally reach Chang'an City to help in the end even if they have food.

"That's right!" Huang Chao nodded, turned his inquiring gaze to Wang Teng, and asked softly, "General Wang, what Lord Zhang reminded just now is indeed reasonable!" Even if we agreed to the conditions, how could those people transport so much food and salary into the Chang'an territory? How could the defenders of Tongguan let them go along? ”

"Your Majesty, this is exactly what the minister said about the difficulty!" Suddenly, Wang Teng looked at Huang Chao with an aggrieved face, as if all the faults were found by Huang Chao himself, not Wang Teng. After a pause, Wang Teng shook his head, looked at Huang Chao, who had already shown a disappointed look, and added in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, in fact, things are not as bad as imagined!" It's just a little more troublesome than before! ”

"Original? Slightly troublesome? Hearing this, Huang Chao's body was shocked, but his eyes were still full of puzzlement, and when he looked at the others, all the whispers stopped, and his eyes were all focused on Wang Teng, and then, Huang Chao hurriedly asked: "General Wang, what do you mean?" You make it clear! What was the original, what is now? What's going on? ”

"Your Majesty! Actually, this is the case! Wang Teng moved his steps to the hall, and the eyes of everyone made him feel a little difficult, but because he entered the hall, he did not stop in a cold sweat, and the reason why he did not stop in a cold sweat did not arouse the suspicion of others, and when he spoke, Wang Teng faced a yellow nest alone, and the pressure was much less than the gaze behind him.

Immediately, Wang Teng bent down and bowed his hand, saluted Huang Chao respectfully, straightened up, and spoke with a serious face: "In fact, the Jin Chamber of Commerce and the wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan have already begun to prepare the food and salary needed by our army a while ago!" It's just that the number is huge, and there are too many wealthy merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, so it takes a lot of time to unite, and the preparation of grain and grass naturally takes a lot of time! In this matter, the minister can use the head of the item to guarantee, all of which belong to the truth! Moreover, the young master of the Jin Chamber of Commerce had come to Chang'an in the first two months, and the minister had personally received the other party and discussed all the conditions of this matter in detail! Before leaving, Jin Gongzi also gave the minister 30,000 taels of gold as a meeting gift! ”

"Boom!" As soon as these words came out, the people in the entire hall were suddenly taken aback, all their eyes were full of shock and surprise, and even many of their eyes were full of naked envy and jealousy, even the hatred and Wang Neng who was carrying everyone behind his back could understand it.

What is the meeting gift, it is just to express their sincerity and hearts to each other when they meet for the first time according to the identity of both parties. But 30,000 taels of gold, everyone present understood what it meant, especially the group of generals in the hall, their eyes were red, and they couldn't wait to pounce directly to dig out the 30,000 taels of gold that Wang Teng had swallowed, and then pay the soldiers under their command.

The meeting gift was 30,000 taels of gold, which made everyone think that this matter was unreliable? The Chamber of Commerce that made a gift of 30,000 taels of gold, can the strength not be strong?
