"Are you the head shopkeeper of Shen Ji Food Store?"
The strong man squinted his eyes and glanced at Shen Laosan, who had a sinister look on his face.
Suddenly, a flash of disdain flashed in his eyes.
"Tell me, how do you want to cooperate with this deputy commander?"
Shen Laosan pretended to ignore the strong man's disdain and said seriously:
"Vice Commander Lei, I have a profitable business here. Are you interested?"
"Today's food prices in Luozhou are getting higher and higher. And the Huwei Army happens to have a lot of disaster relief food brought from the capital."
"If you and I cooperate, we can secretly hoard this food."
"In just a few days, we can make a lot of money."
When Lei Qiang heard this, the disdain in his eyes became even greater.
"There is no business without treachery, and the ancients will not deceive me!"
"You, Fatty Shen, are full of evil. But have you ever thought about why I, the deputy commander, want to cooperate with you?"
"If I save some food and grass myself and sell it when the price is right, wouldn't I make more money?"
The smile on Shen Laosan's face did not change, and he continued with the smile:
"No, no, if Commander Lei does this, it will only arouse Commander Lin's disgust."
"If you are willing to cooperate with me, I promise to save this batch of food secretly without anyone noticing."
"In this case, how about you get 80% and I only get 20%?"
"Is this true!?"
Lei Qiang stood up suddenly and looked at Shen Laosan with a smile on his face.
After pondering for a moment, he said:
"This matter... is fine."
"How about this? You can stay in the army today and discuss the details of cooperation with a few of my cronies."
"In this way, the cooperation between you and me can be seamless."
Shen Laosan pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"Thanks to Commander Lei's love, I will live in the army today."
"It's just that the weather is a little cold tonight. I wonder where the military toilets are?"
"Go out and turn left. It's twenty feet away."
Lei Qiang stood up and sent Shen Laosan out of the camp.
Looking at the chubby back of the place, the smile on his face gradually turned cold.
This group of merchants really has no credibility at all!
Fortunately, Mr. Lin was prepared in advance, otherwise Mr. Xiao Lin might have suffered a lot this time.
Tonight, I will deliver this fat man to Mr. Xiao Lin.
This will surely make Master Xiaolin look at me with admiration.
On the other side, after Shen Laosan left Lei Qiang's camp, he jogged all the way around to the path he came from.
He stood on tiptoes and jumped slightly.
The originally clumsy figure turned out to be so nimble at this moment!
It's like a fat baby swallow.
Although he is fat, he is still agile.
He dug out the Huwei Army's camp in one breath and walked some distance toward the southwest stronghold.
It wasn't until this moment that he stopped and took a deep breath.
"Straight bitch, this Lei Qiang definitely wants to take advantage of me!"
"No, it seems that these soldiers are not good partners."
"I don't know if I can contact the young prince through Brother Yao. With such a fortune-making opportunity in Luozhou, he must have a back-up plan if he has so many plans."
"That's all, let's go find Brother Yao first tomorrow morning."
…
The study room of Shangqing Palace,
The empress stood by the window, looking far into the distance toward Luozhou in the southwest.
Unfortunately, the palace wall was too high, blocking her view.
She stood by the window in a daze for a while, until a gust of warm wind blew by, pulling her out of her thoughts and back to reality.
Unknowingly, Xiaodongzi had been gone for ten days.
I wonder how that kid is doing in Luozhou now?
Am I wrong? Xiao Dongzi grew up in the palace and never left the capital.
But I forced him to go to Luozhou just to do things for me...
The empress sighed quietly, and on her majestic face, the worry of the bride looking forward to returning appeared at this moment.
But a moment later, the majesty of an emperor appeared on her flawless cheeks again.
In any case, Xiao Dongzi is doing things for me and Da Zhou.
If he comes back this time, I will definitely reward him well.
But... what award should I get?
He has become the general manager of the Imperial Palace and cannot be promoted in the harem.
If he was asked to serve as an official in the court, he did not seem to have such thoughts.
As for being named a noble...that old dog Lin Chunqiu would definitely not agree.
Moreover, the big tree attracts the wind and changes from darkness to light, which will inevitably attract the attention of people with ulterior motives.
Thinking of this, a hint of sadness appeared on the empress's majestic cheeks.
I am obviously rich all over the world, but I don't know how to reward a little eunuch.
Is it possible that you really have to do it yourself...
The empress didn't know what she thought of, but a faint blush appeared on her beautiful cheeks.
She pondered for a moment, then turned around and blew out the candle on the desk.
The next moment, the entire study fell into darkness.
Only the watery moonlight flows along the window lattice into the empress's study.
The empress lay on the soft bed, and her mind couldn't help but recall the scene when she and Yang Dong first met.
Gradually, there was mud between a pair of jade legs.
She stretched out her jade hand again, and a look of pain and joy appeared on her beautiful cheeks.
…
Jiaocheng,
State Mufu,
Yang Dong and his entourage were finally standing outside the Zhou Mu Mansion, covered with travel dust.
A Xichang secret agent was sent to inform the government, and soon an old man with a Chinese character and the appearance of a Confucian scholar came up to him quickly.
"This must be the acting envoy appointed by His Majesty, right?"
"Come on, come on, please!"
"The official has already prepared the food and wine, and is waiting for the acting envoy to arrive!"
Yang Dong looked calm and silently looked at the Luozhou Prefect in front of him.
It is impossible for Han Zheng not to know the current situation in Luozhou.
But whether it was Lin Luo's Longwu Army coming to relieve the disaster, or the old prince Ji Zhongchuang leaving the world.
This dignified state shepherd from Luozhou showed no reaction at all.
This is obviously not normal!
I don’t know what kind of medicine Han Zheng is selling in his gourd.
His thoughts were wandering, but his steps followed closely behind Han Zheng.
After passing through the Yamen office residence, they arrived at the backyard.
The backyard is not large, with only a few plum trees planted.
The main hall was now filled with a table full of dishes.
Although there are no delicacies from the mountains and seas, there are no fresh fruits.
But the wine, meat and dishes are all available.
"Master Yang, please take a seat quickly!"
"I haven't had a visitor in this humble abode for a long time. Today, I have benefited from Mr. Yang's favor."
Yang Dong smiled lightly and sat in the guest seat.
Surrounded enthusiastically by several accompanying officials, the atmosphere was extremely lively for a while.
As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. Han Zheng's reception banquet obviously gave Yang Dong enough face.
But Yang Dong became increasingly cautious.
If Han Zheng shut him out or acted according to the rules, he would be able to accept it.
But such a warm welcome banquet surprised him.
What role does Han Zheng play in Luozhou?
