Outside the closed city, there is a military camp of the Huwei Army.
Yu Zhong pondered for a moment, and a trace of thought appeared on his cheek.
Lei Qiang didn't push him and waited silently for Yu Zhong's answer.
After a moment, Yu Zhong sighed softly and slowly said:
"Alas! Deputy Commander Lei doesn't know something!"
"This matter really puts the general in a bit of trouble."
He sighed again and continued:
"The old prince once said that he would personally write a letter to His Majesty, asking the general to appoint him as the commander of the Longwu Army. In addition, Luozhou disaster relief and other matters will be handed over to the general."
"Master Chief Assistant... is naturally a high-ranking figure. The general followed Commander Lin at the beginning, and now he is naturally a pawn of Master Chief Assistant."
"only……"
Speaking of this, Yu Zhong suddenly closed his mouth. He picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. The distress on his cheeks was not concealed at all.
"understand!"
Lei Qiang gave up a smile, but a chill flashed through his eyes.
You're such a good guy, you want to play both ends with me, right?
Just wait, after returning to the capital, the Chief Assistant will definitely make you irrecoverable!
As he thought this, the smile on his face grew stronger.
"The deputy commander's thoughts are actually human nature. Why don't you take a look at this thing first?"
While talking, Lei Qiang took out a secret letter and handed it to Yu Zhong.
I saw that this was a transfer order from the Ministry of Household Affairs, and it even had an official seal on it.
Only the name and position were left blank.
"This is……"
Yu Zhong's body trembled, and his eyes were suddenly filled with greed.
"Yes, this is an order from the Ministry of Household Affairs."
Lei Qiang smiled lightly and continued:
"Vice Commander Yu, we are all generals, so there is no need to beat around the bush."
"You should understand what Mr. Chief Assistant means. This secret message is the transfer order. You can fill in your name and official position as you like."
"As long as they are officials below the third rank."
"So, do you understand what choice you should make?"
When Yu Zhong heard this, a look of struggle flashed in his eyes.
On the one hand, it is the benefit given by the old prince. On the other hand, it was Lin Chunqiu who issued the transfer order.
This chief minister really has a plan!
Unexpectedly, even the deputy commander of the Huwei Army was his.
It is really difficult for Your Majesty to defeat him!
Yu Zhong sighed silently in his heart, and after pondering for a moment, he suddenly spoke.
"Vice Commander Lei, can you please let the general think about this matter?"
"Please also ask Deputy Commander Lei to give me three days."
After saying this, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Then he stood up suddenly and strode out of the military camp.
"Thank you, Vice Commander Lei, for your warm hospitality. However, the general is still busy with military affairs, so I won't stay for long!"
Upon seeing this, the soldiers of the Huwei Army immediately wanted to step forward to stop him.
Lei Qiang had a sullen face, but he waved his hand and retreated from his subordinates.
At this moment, it is not the time to fall out.
If the Longwu Army is really lost, the Chief Assistant will definitely be furious.
But if he could win over the Long Wu Army, it would be a great achievement for him, Lei Qiang.
As for Yu Zhong after returning to Beijing, he is nothing more than an ant-like figure.
Lord Chief Assistant only needs to move his hands to crush him to death.
That’s all, let’s let him be proud for a few days!
Lei Qiang coughed lightly, then suddenly moved towards the direction Yu Zhong left, raised his hands and said loudly:
"Vice Commander Yu, I look forward to good news from you."
"Don't let the chief assistant wait too long!"
Taking advantage of his drunkenness, Yu Zhong got on his horse, cupped his hands towards Lei Qiang and said:
"Don't worry, Deputy Commander Lei, I will think about it for disaster relief. Please don't blame me, Chief Assistant!"
"After all, the Longwu Army came to Luozhou and can only return to the capital after completing the disaster relief mission."
…
The city is closed, the city lord’s mansion,
After hearing the report from his subordinates, the old prince's face suddenly turned gloomy.
"What a Lin Chunqiu. He actually has such a layout far away in the capital."
"This king underestimates him!"
"But, Luozhou is my territory. Even if Lin Chunqiu, an old dog, wants to interfere, how can I do what he wants?"
"Come here, ask Yu Zhong what he means?"
…
Changcheng,
Yang Dong's mansion,
A fat, dark-looking man with a flattering face was standing in front of Yang Dong.
This person was none other than Shen Laosan, the grain merchant from the capital.
It's just that Shen Laosan is now tanned a lot by the Luozhou sun. Although he is still so fat, he looks obviously stronger.
These days, he personally stared at the construction of the official highway from Changcheng to Jiaocheng, almost never stopping for a moment.
And his efforts have achieved certain results.
Although it will take some time before the expressway is fully opened to traffic. But merchants from some small towns along the way have begun to use this expressway.
However, what Shen Laosan never imagined was.
Just relying on this less than half of the high-speed officialdom, the income brought to him now has exceeded his daily expenditure.
In other words, from now on, he can make a fortune while building officialdom.
Although all the principal was invested, as long as the expressway was built, half of the money would be like water and entered into his Shen Laosan's account book.
"My lord, you are truly a god!"
"This idea of a high-speed official road is simply brilliant!"
As soon as Shen Laosan opened his mouth, he acted like an old flatterer.
Yang Dong's face was calm, and there was no change in his expression at all.
"This matter has been anticipated by the king. If you believe in me, you will naturally make money."
"By the way, why do you want to see me today?"
Hearing this, Shen Laosan's eyes lit up and he immediately said:
"My lord, to be honest, I have a friend..."
"That friend of yours could be you, right?"
Yang Dong glanced at Shen Laosan and asked with a strange look on his face.
"Huh? No."
There was a flash of hesitation in Shen Laosan's eyes, but he immediately said:
"To be honest with you, I have a friend who is also in the grain business."
"He is now the largest grain merchant in Pingzhou and has a lot of resources in his hands."
"He wants to participate in the business of noble immortals and drunken beings, but I don't know..."
"Want to join Xianren Zui's business? Of course you can."
Yang Dong nodded slightly, but his eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling stayed on Shen Laosan.
"Shen Laosan, you should have benefited a lot from this, right?"
Shen Laosan's body trembled, and he suddenly knelt heavily on the ground.
"My dear, please spare my life. I'm just trying to earn some hard-earned money."
"If the noble one is not satisfied, I am willing to give it to you with both hands."
"You don't have to be like this, get up and talk."
Yang Dong said, helping Shen Laosan up from the ground.
"To be honest, I have no interest in doing business. Let's do this. I will leave Immortal Zui's business to you."
"I want six-ingredient moisturizer, and I won't come up with the formula."
"As for the rest, how do you like it?"
Shen Laosan trembled, and a brilliant light suddenly burst out from his big eyes.
"Do you really mean what you say?"
