The faces of all the princes and princesses changed, and it is estimated that there will be no second Bigul and bold guy on the entire continent, not only do they not kneel in the face of the royal family of the Longyuan Empire, but they also say such things.

Long Yi was about to get angry, but the Emperor waved his hand casually, "It's okay, let her say, you all listen attentively, and then you will be the one who makes the decision." ”

All the princes and princesses looked slightly puzzled, but they still suppressed their dissatisfaction in their hearts, and then made no sound, Long Yi glared angrily at Gu Li, but the emperor had to sit down stupidly.

Gu Li looked calm, but in fact, her legs were about to fight with each other, and in the face of the royal anger of the entire Longyuan Empire, Gu Li swore that even if she knelt down and begged her next time, she would never do this kind of task that was so nervous that she would faint again.

After sorting out the situation, Gu Li took a few breaths lightly, quickly calmed down, and said briefly: "On the orders of my little master, I will bring a deal to the Longyuan Empire, in exchange for materials and smooth roads, my little master is willing to use twice the world price to buy several batches of materials in the Longyuan Empire." ”

"Bang!"

Long Yi couldn't bear it anymore, smashed the cup with one palm, stood up angrily, pointed at Gu Li and shouted: "You are so bold! Despise the majesty of the royal family, and actually just buy some supplies! Come on! Drag me out!"

The rest of the princes and princesses also frowned, Gu Li said this kind of thing, I am afraid that it is too much to even go to the government office, and she can actually come here to talk about it in front of the core ruling group of the Longyuan Empire, it is like asking the head of state to buy carrots.

Gu Li's face was full of sternness, and his eyes looked straight at the emperor.

Outside the hall, Long Yi's shouting was heard. Immediately rushed in more than a dozen armored guards and came directly to arrest Gu Li.

"Stop...... Emperor's voice was slightly irritated, "Long Yi, I have already said that I want you to listen carefully, don't you understand?"

Long Yi was full of anger, and when he heard the emperor's words, he suddenly clasped his head like a basin of cold water, and looked at the emperor in dismay, "Father, this ......"

"Sit down!"

Ryuichi looked uneasy and quickly sat down. The dozen or so guards immediately retreated in amusement.

Gu Li thought to herself that this time she was really going to reduce her life. In front of this imperial family, if you don't say a word well, you may lose your life, and even if you have a backlight stigma, it may be very difficult to escape after the trouble. I don't know how many powerful guards are hidden in the countless corners of this vast palace. A person who has just stepped on the threshold of an evolver wants to come and go freely. Then I'm afraid this won't be the royal palace of the Longyuan Empire.

Don't say a word when you go back, you must fix that stinky boy well!

You continue. The emperor's face was not very good-looking, and he seemed to be very dissatisfied with Long Yi's appearance.

Guli smoothed her voice. He continued: "We are currently planning to purchase three batches of supplies, and the rest will be added later, and the first batch of materials will be dirt!"

"Dirt?"

Long Jiu couldn't help but lose his voice, and then he felt out of shape, and looked at the Great Emperor Long Yuan with a weak heart, but the Great Emperor only nodded this time.

With the Emperor's approval, Long Jiu couldn't help asking, "Why the soil, and what do you want the soil for?"

"My little master is going to cooperate with the Sand King to transform part of the desert land. ”

Suddenly, the princes and princesses were all dumbfounded, transforming the land of the desert? Every year, they only heard that the desert was expanding outward, and for the first time, they heard that someone was going to transform the desert into land.

Guli continued, "We need about five meters of earth to fill the entire area of the palace. ”

"So many?" Long Jiu almost exclaimed.

"This is the first batch, and depending on the Empire's transportation capacity, the quantity of the second batch of soil will be adjusted in the future. Guli explained calmly.

The look of surprise on the faces of the princes and princesses present this time gradually began to disappear, and was gradually replaced by doubt.

At this time, a soft voice sounded, "If you talk about soil, the empire also has a small range of business, but land is the foundation of the country, not only will it not be sold lightly, but the price is high, even if we agree to trade, but your first batch of materials, I am afraid you will have to pay an unimaginable amount of gold, do you really know how much it will cost?"

Gu Lixun went to the prestige, and the one who spoke was the prince sitting at the table next to Long Yi, according to the order, this should be the third prince of Long, although Gu Liduo didn't know his situation, but couldn't help but look at him a few more times, Long San had long black hair that made women jealous, and it hung down softly, plus his face was fair, and his contours were soft, and he looked like a woman at first glance.

However, Guli always felt that his face was a little gloomy.

"We will pay 100,000 catties of gold at the moment. ”

Long San was stunned, except for Emperor Long Yuan, everyone was stunned.

100,000 catties of gold! Pay in advance! This is not a dream, is it? The expenses of the entire palace will not exceed 10,000 catties of gold in a year.

"Pay in advance?" Ryuzo frowned deeply.

"Yes, if the Empire agrees to a deal, allow the Shalit soldiers to enter, or the Empire send a convoy to receive the gold advances on its own. A smile flashed in Gu Li's eyes, thinking that you, the royal family who think you are rich and noble, may not have seen the endless golden desert, and the golden city in the desert uses the purest gold to pave the road, this kind of thing is probably unimaginable to people outside the desert.

The princes and princesses were surprised and puzzled, and immediately discussed.

"Go on. Emperor Long Yuan reminded again.

Gu Li bowed her head respectfully, "Next, I will also purchase tree seeds, grass seeds, and hire a large number of gardeners, and purchase a large number of food, water, and other materials, and I can also prepay some gold." ”

Even if they don't have any concept of money on weekdays, the princes and princesses present can't help but secretly inhale the cold air, according to the scale of procurement described by Gu Li, this is simply to create a complete small country environment, this cost may not be very amazing if it is placed elsewhere, but if it is in the desert, it is completely terrifying.

"If the first land transformation is successful, we will make a second circular purchase, and we currently expect the cost of the first land transformation. It's a million catties of gold!" Gu Li then dropped another bombshell, and one sentence once again stunned everyone.

Gu Li looked at the surprised, puzzled, and suspicious looks on everyone's faces with great satisfaction, this mission is more than half completed here.

Emperor Long Yuan waited for enough discussion below, and then said, "You guys, have you heard clearly?"

The princes and princesses nodded one after another.

The Emperor pondered and said: "Some time ago, there was a rebellion on the border of the Shalit Empire, and the general Dole raised the anti-flag, but it was quickly suppressed by the new Tsar King, who was the youngest princess of the previous Sand King. I'm only nine years old this year. It is said that although she is young, she is an imperial talent, not only quelling the rebellion, but also vigorously consolidating her power. Secured the throne of the Sand King. ”

The princes and princesses nodded again. They all know about it.

The Emperor's eyebrows moved. smiled, "And our little brother seems to have played a great role in the suppression of the rebellion by the Sand King, so he has won the trust of the Sand King." is currently enjoying happiness in the desert, and I don't know if he will be directly recruited as a prince. ”

The hall suddenly burst into laughter, but Gu Li pursed her lips slightly, and muttered in a low voice: "Just rely on that little yellow-haired girl......"

The Emperor smiled and said: "However, this little brother of Tianxian is very trusted, it seems that it is the actual situation, this idea of transforming the desert is probably not the idea of the Sand King, the Sand King of the past generations regarded the desert as a sacred existence, and will never transform the yellow sand ground, so although this time it is the Sand King who pays for the gold, but in fact, it is this little brother who discusses the transaction with us." ”

His gaze fell on Gu Li, and the emperor said meaningfully: "That is...... Now this messenger Guli. ”

Gu Li nodded and said, "And there is one thing I need to emphasize, the reason why I came alone this time is because it is inconvenient for the people of the Shalit Empire to walk in the Longyuan Empire, and the small master can call on limited manpower, and the rest of the people have already gone to other countries." ”

The princes and princesses' faces changed, and Long San frowned even more, "You mean, you are already prepared not to trade with us." ”

"Yes, because this matter is very important, there will always be more serious troubles, so we are ready to choose the best supplier country, after all, it is not only the Longyuan Empire that is adjacent to the Shalit Empire, in fact, the Longyuan Empire is almost the country with the fewest borders among the countries bordering the Shalit Empire. ”

"But!" preemptively ahead of Long San, Gu Li emphasized, "My little master said that after all, there is some affection with the Longyuan Empire, so as long as the empire allows it and gives reasonable conditions, we will give priority to cooperating with the Longyuan Empire!"

"Hmm......" The Emperor nodded with satisfaction, "That's the whole situation, all of you here now, listen to it, no matter who inherits my throne in the future, the rest of them will also be the most direct rulers of the empire, and now is the time to test you, I will leave this matter to you to deal with, discuss, cooperate, and then give me a result!"

Only then did the princes, princesses, and Gu Li understand the true purpose of Emperor Longyuan calling everyone for a banquet today.

Gu Li was secretly stunned when she heard this, the emperor's family, the battle for royal power is always extremely fierce, and the Longyuan Empire is even more so in a super empire that dominates the continent and is almost invincible, but he didn't expect the emperor to use this method to test the successor. It is estimated that this kind of examination method that gathers everyone together and asks to discuss a countermeasure is unique to the Longyuan Empire.

However, remembering that the previous generation of emperors is still living freely, and the current emperor was calm when he ascended the throne, and there were no bloody battles, forcing the palace to slaughter the city, and the like, Gu Li was also relieved, maybe the inheritance of the Longyuan Empire is so special......

The princes immediately frowned and thought about it, and occasionally discussed it with the neighboring brothers, but most of them still seemed to want to solve the problem independently, and even Long Qi and other princesses were also thoughtful, unwilling to be left behind.

Gu Li stood alone on the temple, but no one cared for her for a while.

"Sit down. The emperor gave Gu Li a look, and then gestured to the outside of the hall, and suddenly an attendant stepped back, and in less than a minute, Gu Li was served a table of food again.

Gu Li smiled bitterly, thinking that she shouldn't have sent herself this time, but she should have let Xiang come, and if she couldn't calculate things, at least it would not be a problem to go back with some money.

Finally, when Gu Li was really full and had nothing to do, Long Jiu was the first to stand up.

"Excuse me, where is the land for this transformation?" Long Jiu looked excited, his eyes shining.

Guli got up. He replied, "In the vicinity of the edge of the Longyuan Empire, if successful, the desert will no longer expand, and the territorial disputes between the desert people and the Longyuan Empire will be a thing of the past. ”

"So, this desert land transformation is partly due to this?" Long Jiu continued to ask.

"Yes. ”

"So what is the main reason? As far as I know, the land on the border of the desert has never been valued by the Shalit Empire, and this time it has cost a lot of money to transform the desert, I'm afraid there is some special reason, right?"

Gu Li smiled. This question has been prepared for a long time. "The edge of the desert is just trying, after all, close to the land, and the transformation is built if successful. An oasis will be created in the interior of the desert. In order to improve the living conditions of the people of the desert. If the situation is good, even the farmland will be cleared. ”

The princes and princesses were surprised again, and they were cultivating farmland in the desert. It's like a dream to say it.

"It's a huge and staggering change. Long Jiu couldn't help but exclaim.

Gu Li nodded very humbly, "But it's worth it." ”

Long Yi suddenly asked: "The desert is the foundation of the Shalit Empire, a large area of land can indeed bring benefits, but it will inevitably meet with a lot of opposition, the new Sha King will not be on the throne soon, will she be enemies with more people when she has not gained a firm foothold?"

Gu Li didn't wait to speak, but Long San replied: "Brother Huang, it's not right for you to say that. ”

Long Miyan's face turned cold, "Long San, what did I say wrong?"

Long San said leisurely: "We know very little about the situation in the desert, but the fact that the nine-year-old Sand King was able to ascend the throne after quelling the chaos means that she has unusual energy, and the new king is in power, there will inevitably be a lot of changes, the royal brother just said that the Sand King wants to be the enemy of more people, but in fact, this is where she is smart." ”

"Where is the smart?" Ryuichi was slightly disdainful, "I don't know where the smartness is?"

Long San explained unhurriedly: "The desert environment is difficult, food and water are very scarce, Shalit people cherish the desert, in fact, it is better to cherish the food and water in the desert, maybe some people worship the pure desert, but that must be a minority, if the environment of the desert changes, there are more oases, there is more food and water, and even farmland, then the situation can only get more support!" Therefore, the Sand King's move is not so much against those who worship the desert, but rather to win over more of the rest of the people, and if this plan is realized, she will be the hero of the desert like never before. ”

Long Yi's face suddenly became very ugly, and some were speechless, and the rest of the princes nodded in agreement with Long San's words.

"And I think we should get this deal done anyway. Long San's breath was still relaxed, but he directly came up with the words as if he had decided, which surprised everyone slightly, and Long Yi's face sank.

"Ryusan, do you have any reason?" the Emperor suddenly asked.

Long San smiled at the Emperor, "Father, we have always been at odds with the Shalit Empire, but there is no oil and water in the desert, we have wasted military and population in vain, if we can solve the border territory problem this time, we can also make a steady profit of gold, and make a good alliance with the Shalit Empire, and the rest of the military spending, this is a good thing to kill four birds with one stone." ”

The Emperor nodded, his face satisfied.

"And ......" Long San laughed playfully, "The Shalit Empire is such a big move, I don't believe it just wants to change the living environment, even if it is paid attention to that day, but it is difficult to ensure that there is no additional consideration of the Sand King, as a bordering country, we will not intervene in the changes of the desert at this time, and if something strange happens in the desert in the future, we will have to be passive." ”

Hearing this, Gu Li couldn't help but look at Long San vigilantly, this prince's words were a bit of foresight, he was already suspicious of what else was behind this change, and from what he meant, he always had a heart for the Shalit Empire.

Long San's gaze looked at Gu Li, "One million catties of gold, even we can't take out this amount lightly, but that barren desert is actually only used as the first batch of procurement funds, maybe ...... We really know too little about the desert. ”

Gu Li lowered her head slightly, feeling Long San's gaze fall on her body like substance, sharp and cold.

"Hahaha......" The Emperor smiled, obviously making him happy with Long San's words, "You guys, who else has something to say?"

"Father, in this matter, I am willing to go to the desert in person and meet the Sand King!" Long Jiu suddenly stood up.

Long Yi suddenly said: "No, the ninth brother has a commendable intention, but as a prince, how can he risk his life, even if an agreement is reached on this matter, we will send an envoy to go, the ninth brother should not be greedy for merit!"

Long Jiu frowned, but didn't speak.

Long San said with a smile: "The ninth brother is the most courageous one among us, I think it is appropriate for him to go, after all, we are obviously trading with the Shalit Empire, and there is no decent person to go over, so it is inevitable to be rude." ”

The Great Emperor moved on the throne, and watched the princes and princesses below discuss this matter playfully, "What, do you all think that cooperating with the Shalit Empire is the right choice?"

"I think it should be. Ryuzo replied with a bowed head.

"I also believe in the news brought by the little brother Tianxian. Long Jiu then said.

"Long Yi, what about you?" the Emperor asked.

"There are a lot of things that are still unclear about this matter, and it may be better to wait for a while before making a decision. Long Yi shook his head, obviously not agreeing to draw conclusions right now.

The emperor looked at the other princes and princesses, but no one said anything, but he also smiled with satisfaction, "It's okay, let's stop here for today, the time before midnight will be written down for the time being, you will come here again tomorrow morning, before noon, I will hear a unified answer." ”

"Yes!" (to be continued......)
