Tieman looked at Ning Ze in confusion: "How can I thank you?"

"I would like to give you a thousand kilograms of gold and a hundred thousand shi of military rations!"

"What?!" Tieman stood up as he heard this, "Are you serious?"

"I will do my best!" Ning Ze narrowed his eyes and replied, "As long as the city lord is willing to say a few words in front of the king, money and military rations are not a problem!"

"But my suggestions are insignificant to the king, not to mention that your army is indeed not strong enough, so it is difficult to succeed!" Tieman frowned and thought, "Even if he is willing to help you, he may be powerless!"

"It's okay," Ning Ze replied, "As long as the city lord is willing to help, whether it succeeds or not, gold and military rations are yours."

"this......"

"In addition," Ning Ze continued, "I would like to ask the city lord for a little help."

"Please say it!"

"I want to invite the city lords of Binaqiu Kingdom to discuss this matter together. As long as I am willing to help, I will have a thank you!"

"What? I'm more than the twenty cities in Naqiu Kingdom. In addition to Nadu, there are nineteen city lords." Tie Man asked in confusion, "Do you have so much gold and military ration?"

"That's natural," Ning Ze nodded, "The lord asked me to bring gold, silver and jewelry, and countless military rations and equipment. I wanted to reward it to the king of the Bhikkhu Kingdom. But I didn't expect that the king of your country would be expelled directly. Since this is the case, I decided to give these money, jewelry, and equipment to all the city lords. If you have all the city lords talking to me, I must have a chance to convince the king."

Tieman kept looking at Ning Ze with suspicious eyes, then he thought of something and turned to wave to General Gao Lishen.

Gao Lishen bowed his head and whispered in his ear: "City Lord, the other party has only about 5,000 troops, but the number of ships is several times higher than normal. And all ships are very well-drawn..."

Hearing this, Tieman's eyes lit up, and he sat upright and said to Ning Ze: "Mr. Ning, I can invite all the city lords to Shuiou City. But whether they promise to help or whether they can persuade the king."

"It's okay!" Ning Ze smiled, "As long as the city lord is willing to help this little, I will prepare another generous gift and will never disappoint you!"

One thousand gold and one hundred thousand stones of military ration are a lot. After all, it is similar to the same county as Dacheng in the country, and the city below is equivalent to the county town.

The city lord is equivalent to the county magistrate, and compared with the consumption level of Naqiu State, one thousand gold is already a huge sum of money, not to mention a hundred thousand stone of military rations.

It is difficult to fully supply the needs of the people by planting the grain in the Naqiu Kingdom by planting it on its own, so it must be purchased from Dacheng through a caravan, which is under great financial pressure. One hundred thousand stones of military ration can solve many problems. These alone are enough to make Tieman's heart moved, let alone the great gifts promised by Ning Ze.

So it is normal to lose some ruthlessness.

Even the city lord Tieman was like this, Gao Lishen next to him was even more stunned and disbelief.

People from Dacheng Country are indeed rich and powerful!

Tieman was excited and said to Ning Ze: "Military Ning is so generous, I am willing to help you! Please ask the military advisor to live in the mansion, and immediately send someone to various cities to send invitations."

"Then I'll trouble the city lord!" Ning Ze said, "Also, can I find a place in the port for my fleet to dock? It's also convenient to transport gold, silver and military rations."

"This..." Tieman hesitated a little, but could not resist the temptation. After careful consideration, he nodded and agreed, "Yes! But your army must stay under our surveillance and not walk around at will!"

"Can!"

After the banquet, Tieman sent someone to arrange for Ning Ze and Wang Wei to live in the guest room of the lord's mansion, and asked General Gao Lishen to lead troops to monitor Ning Ze's army. At the same time, he also asked someone to go to various cities to spread messages, asking the city lords himself or sent his confidants to Shuioucheng to meet Ning Ze.

The lords of each city received the message but were actually not interested.

After all, Princess Yuanxi Liu Yuanxiang really didn't take it seriously.

But when I heard that Tieman had received one thousand gold and one hundred thousand stones of military rations, he knew that Ning Ze was so generous, so he immediately rushed over in person, or if he really couldn't separate himself, so he asked his confidant to take someone to meet Ning Ze in Shuiou City.

For nothing else, gold, silver and military rations are too tempting.

Binaqiu is not a rich country, and its land and resources are limited. Unlike Dacheng's inland countries, they can only obtain money by exporting minerals and then purchasing grain from Dacheng to support the people. If the king wants to maintain a high-quality life, the lords of each city must pay their respects frequently and constantly strive to squeeze out money from themselves.

Therefore, regardless of money or military rations, it is too attractive.

Soon, except for the capital, Binaqiu, there were eighteen places in Quanma City, Dongliao City, Xujing City, Kerr City, Maxian City, Duogu City, Yangxi City, Mujiao City, Fami City, Curtis City, Moyi City, Ball Scale City, Lushun City, Drama City, Nakodo City, Dujia City, Xiluo City, and Haiyu City. The city lord brought people to him personally, or sent his confidant ministers to gather at Shuiou City.

Ning Ze met these city lords or city lords' confidants in Shuiou City, and said in public that as long as the city lords help, he persuaded the king to pay tribute to Princess Yuanxi, regardless of whether it was successful or not, he promised countless Yellow Turban military rations.

The city lords or the city lords' confidants thought to themselves that this kid is stupid and has a lot of money. Anyway, he can get the money and food. What does the other thing have to do with us? So he agreed. Ning Ze promised to give half of the resources first, and then give half of the remaining one after the matter was completed. The city lords and the confidant ministers patted their chests and promised to get things done.

When the city lords of each city returned with half of the resources they had, Wang Wei asked in a low voice: "Military advisor, you have scattered so much money and food at once, but they may not be able to help them with all their heart. Besides, even if these people persuaded King Bi Naqiu together, it may not be effective."

"Of course I know!" Ning Ze's mouth raised slightly.

"Then why are you..."

"My money is so easy to get?" Ning Ze turned his head and handed a list to Wang Wei, "What's going on with what you asked you to do in secret?"

"The military advisor is as wise as a torch. That Gao Lishen is indeed a very greedy person, and his personal morality is very poor." Wang Wei whispered, "For money, he dares to do even the seller's business! This list..."

"There are some city lords above, and even the names of Minister Naqiu," Ning Ze replied, "These guys are similar to Gaolishen. They are morally corrupt, loyal and selfish guys. If you ask Gaolishen to win over, you will give them directly, and you must buy them all and become my pawns! When the matter is done, they will have to spit it out for me as much as I pay!"

Seeing the evil smile on Ning Ze's face, Wang Wei felt a little chilled.
