Peerless Tang Sect: Expelled from Shrek Academy at the beginning

Chapter 172 Borrowing Food
Viscount Xiu Er didn't know that Dai Huabin had destroyed his tax card. At this time, Hou Zheng looked at Dai Huabin with a smile on his face.

You must know that Dai Huabin is the future Duke of White Tiger. In the Star Luo Empire, the Duke of White Tiger is no worse than the emperor, and even speaks more effectively than the emperor at certain times.

"This is the first time that the Viscount Xingchen has come to my place since he was entrusted by the Star Leader. He has only come here once in the past few years. Whatever he says today will make you drunk." Viscount Xiuer walked over familiarly, Said.

"Okay, I've wanted to come and taste the wine of Viscount Seul for a long time."

"Not much to say, let's go in first." Viscount Xiu Er said while leading Dai Huabin to walk inside.

The mansion of Viscount Sull is a castle, which is also the choice of most lords. The castle is located in the city, so it can be said to be a city within the city, but the castle is a private area that completely belongs to the lord.

Outsiders are not allowed to enter. Generally speaking, even if the city is broken, it is not considered a complete occupation. Only when the lord's castle is defeated can it be considered a complete occupation.

At the same time, the lord's castle is also the most heavily defended place in the area. Although Dai Huabin saw the dilapidated city defenses when he first arrived, this lord's castle is a solid wall of copper and iron, without any scumbag engineering.

The outside of the castle shows its majesty and strength, but when you walk into the castle, the luxurious interior shows aristocratic luxury.

The bricks paved on the ground should be mixed with a lot of rare metals, which is why they look so bright and tough.

Most of the interior decorations hung inside were taken from the bodies of spirit beasts, and the red carpet paved from the entrance to the inner hall was the fur of a kind of sheep spirit beast.

If it were someone else, Viscount Xiuer might even introduce his castle, but the other party is the son of the Duke of White Tiger, and Viscount Xiuer thought that these things were just child's play in the eyes of the other party.

What he didn't know was that Dai Huabin's Star Territory not only didn't have these luxury things, it didn't even have the lord's castle, and had been using the original city lord's mansion as the lord's mansion for the past few years.

Fortunately, the Star Leader did not take the initiative to hold any noble banquets, so no one knew what Dai Huabin's life was like.

Viscount Xiu Er first led Dai Huabin to the living room, and after serving tea, the two sat and looked at each other.

"Viscount Xingchen didn't warn me before he came, so I didn't make any preparations, so don't take offense if I'm negligent."

Generally speaking, when nobles visit each other, they must tell each other in advance. Such an approach like Huabin's is definitely impolite, and they are uninvited guests.

"It's because I'm young and ignorant. I seldom work in the circle of nobles. I don't know much about these things. Please forgive me." Dai Huabin said.

Naturally, Xiuer would not believe what Dai Huabin said. He knew that Dai Huabin was being polite, but he also guessed from it that Dai Huabin must have some special purpose for coming here.

Then he asked: "I don't know what happened to Viscount Xingchen?"

"Originally, there was only one thing for you when I came to see you this time, but I saw you again on the road, but these two things should actually be counted as one thing."

"Oh? I'd like to hear about it."

"Presumably Viscount Seul also knows that I have only been here for a few years, and it is not as deep-rooted here as Viscount Seul. The Star Collar is right next to Seul Collar. You must also know how desolate it was before. The star collar has already used up all my savings. During this period of time, refugees have been entering the star collar, and the star collar has been unable to make ends meet, so I want to borrow a sum of money from Viscount Seul to tide over the difficulties."

What Dai Huabin said was sincere, but Xiuer didn't take a cold when he heard it. What does your Xingchen matter have to do with me, let alone because of those mud legs?

Xiuer showed a look of embarrassment, and pushed forward: "I'm sorry, Viscount Xingchen, you also know what the situation in the mainland is like recently, and I don't have any money left."

"How could it be? I heard that your warehouse has a lot of grain stockpiled. Now this thing is a huge profit. It doesn't matter if you don't have money. Why don't you lend me some grain?"

Dai Huabin mainly spent his money on food. Those refugees who had just arrived in Xingchen were unable to support themselves. The first thing they had to face was the problem of food.

In fact, the star collar has enough food, mainly because it supports a large number of troops, and it is not enough. Naturally, military food is indispensable.

Viscount Xiuer was shocked when he heard the words. For more than a year, he has indeed purchased a large amount of grain. Turn it up several times.

Moreover, this thing is different from luxury goods, and there is no need to worry about buyers.

What surprised him was that Dai Huabin actually knew about this. You must know that the chambers of commerce that helped him purchase grain were all chambers of commerce that he secretly controlled. On the surface, these chambers of commerce had nothing to do with him, but the core leadership of the chamber of commerce was him. absolute confidant.

Xiuer relied on this indirect control method to operate, but Dai Huabin knew about such a secret operation, which made him think that perhaps Dai Huabin was deceiving him?

"Viscount Xingchen was just joking. I don't have the ability to gather food and grass these days, so I can meet the daily needs of the territory." Xiu Er said without changing his expression.

Dai Huabin smiled and said, "Really? Whose grains are in No. 45 warehouse and No. 33 warehouse? Do you need me to say a few more names?"

When those numbers came out from Dai Huabin's mouth, Xiuer knew that Dai Huabin already knew everything, and he had nothing to hide from him.

But after thinking about it, so what, the food is mine, I bought it with real money, what's wrong, what am I afraid of?
Xiuer said: "Oh, the food there, that's the emergency food and grass I prepared. When the war breaks out, can these things guarantee the daily life of the people. But since you ask for it, I can't refuse to give it to you." , How about this, one thousand shi of wheat and one thousand shi of rice. I will send people to the Xingchen collar tomorrow."

This amount was figured out by Xiu Er after careful consideration. A few hundred shi was a bit overwhelming, and a total of [-] shi of grain was interesting enough.

Xiu Er said again: "The two thousand shi grains are considered my meeting gift, let alone borrowing or not."

"That can't be done. Brothers have to settle accounts clearly. You still have the IOU." Said Dai Huabin and handed out the IOU.

Xiuer shrugged off the IOU in Dai Huabin's hand, and said with a smile that there was no need for it. He casually glanced at it, but found that the amount written on the IOU was a bit wrong, so he took the IOU and read it carefully.

I see:

Dai Huabin, Viscount of Xingchen Collar, borrowed [-] shi of wheat and [-] shi of rice from Viscount Xiuer of Xiuer Collar, and repaid them within one year with [-]% interest.

There is already Dai Huabin's signature on the bottom, and there is a space for Viscount Xiuer's signature in the empty space.

Viscount Xiu Er said: "Isn't that right? I only borrowed two thousand stones. Why did you write fifteen thousand stones?"

"You can just help me out. Today, after fifteen thousand shi, I will return the principal and all the interest. Anyway, it's useless for you to keep it. You might as well use it for me to save people." Dai Huabin didn't feel sorry for himself at all. There is something bad about borrowing forcibly.
