At the same time, according to the intelligence obtained by Lin Quqi, Beidi was gathering troops and mobilized more than a thousand people from the forward camp, as well as some supplies and siege facilities.
It can be seen that Beidi is preparing for a large-scale siege operation.
But instead of feeling any pressure, Lin Quqi felt that the other general must have lost his mind.
When Beixi County was short of defenders, Beidi failed to capture the city.
Nowadays, Beixi County's city walls are under construction, and the outer city walls are being expanded. The effective force in the city has almost exploded. Even a layman like Lin Quqi felt it was too stupid to launch a critical battle at this time. The enemy general Chen Si would never make a mistake of this level.
Although I don't know what happened in Beidi, at least for Lin Quqi, it is a good thing.
Next, we can free our hands and focus on building Beixi County.
…
Tangqi in the south of the Yangtze River.
With the festive sound of gongs and drums, Qin's business opened successfully.
The size of the store is not large, that is, only three rooms. In terms of scale, it is not much better than an ordinary grocery store.
Therefore, the opening was successful, attracting only a few ordinary people, and no merchants or officials in the city were present.
To the locals, this so-called "Qin's Trading House" is just an extremely ordinary one among countless shops in Tangqi.
For this largest town in the south of the Yangtze River, it will not have any impact.
According to the rules, some small gifts were given, and the opening ceremony ended abruptly, unable to sustain even half an hour of excitement. As a result, it becomes even more unattractive.
Qin Feng was sitting in the lobby of the store, lying on the table, just like a wind and a lingering cloud, wolfing down food.
After traveling and traveling all the way, I didn't have a decent meal at all. At this time, I couldn't care about my image anymore. Filling my stomach was more important.
Qin Xiaofu took the account book and reported the accounts.
"Master, the rent in Tangqi is horrifyingly expensive. For such a big shop, the annual rent is 600 taels of silver. If you buy it in one go, the shop alone costs 10,000 taels of silver."
Qin Feng grabbed the account book with his oil-stained hands, threw it aside, and said vaguely: "We are eating, don't mention these troublesome things. Money, you spend it and earn it, it doesn't matter."
Seeing that Qin Feng didn't care, Qin Xiaofu stopped worrying, turned around and pointed at the two guys next to him, an old man and a young man.
"Master, how do you arrange the arrangements for these two people?"
As early as when Qin Feng entered the Jiangnan territory, he had already sent people to rent a shop in Tangqi and let these two guys take care of it. In this way, when Qin Feng arrives in Tangqi, there is no need to buy a shop now and he can open it directly.
The reason for doing this was simply because they were worried that the Lin family would interfere with it. After an order was issued, no one dared to sell to Qin Feng Shop.
In this way, with a foothold, the next business can be easily implemented.
Qin Feng has long coveted the fertile land of Jiangnan, but the commercial scale of Tangqi is no less than that of Kyoto, plus the entire thirty-six counties in Jiangnan, each county can be regarded as a "strong county", and the commercial scale is even greater. Kyoto cannot be compared.
It can be said that whoever can establish a firm foothold in Jiangnan can control half of Daliang's business.
This is why Emperor Liang was so afraid of the Lin family, but could only tolerate it.
Qin Feng wants to defeat the Lin family in business. Without financial support, the Lin family's power will be cut in half!
The two guys who were "selling sheep's meat to dogs" just gave them some money and sent them away.
Qin Feng officially became the owner of Qin's firm.
And compared to hiding behind the scenes in the past, this time Qin Feng came directly to the stage, just to confront the Lin family head-on. Who is afraid of who?
While Qin Feng was eating, he sent Qin Xiaofu away to give all the groceries in the shop to the neighbors, freeing up the entire shop to specialize in candies.
At the same time, arrangements were made for the accommodation of everyone accompanying him.
Jing Qianying and Xiao Xiangxiang lived directly with Qin Feng in the backyard of the business.
Zhao Yulong and Li Lang live on the left side, while Wu Wei and Ning Hu sit in the right wing, protecting the entire business.
This time when he settled in Tangqi, Qin Feng not only transferred Ning Hu, but also transferred twenty Tianji Camp guards and ten Jinyi guards.
Mo Li, the right envoy of Jin Yiwei, has responded.
After the construction of the Jinyiwei headquarters was completed, after much deliberation and weighing, we finally chose to locate it in Beixi County.
Firstly, it is because Beixi County is Qin Feng's "home base" and they are all his own people. Even if there are spies infiltrating, there are only a handful of them and the threat is low.
Secondly, Beixi County has an important geographical location and borders Beidi. It will also save a lot of trouble when conducting foreign intelligence work in the future.
Thirdly, Beixi County is far enough away from Kyoto to reduce the risk of being discovered by Hei Weisi.
Qin Feng's original intention was to keep Jinyiwei's headquarters as secretive as possible. Now that Beixi County is being watched by all parties, the potential risks are too great. But since it was Mo Li's decision, Qin Feng no longer struggled. After all, he was a professional in this aspect, so Qin Feng, a layman, shouldn't make irresponsible remarks.
However, Jinyiwei is located in Beixi County, which also has the advantage of being able to assist each other with Tianji Camp.
Jinyiwei's various weapons and equipment are specially made by Tianjiying Workshop, which eliminates the risk of exposing one's whereabouts when purchasing weapons and equipment.
Moreover, Qin Feng has become heavily dependent on Tianjiying's workshop. He cannot trust weapons and equipment other than those produced by Tianjiying.
The training of Jin Yiwei is also a top priority, and the third sisters Li Xiaolan, Ning Hu, and Mo Li are jointly responsible for it.
To put it bluntly, the Jin Yiwei must not only be good at intelligence gathering, but also be a powerful protagonist. Once their identity is exposed, they must have the strength to break out of a tight siege.
After all, Jin Yiwei has a special status and must not fall into the enemy's hands unless absolutely necessary.
The ten royal guards were all scattered in Tangqi, so Qin Feng didn't need to worry about them.
On the other hand, the twenty guards from the Tianji Camp lived directly in the small courtyard next to the store. They wanted to be honest and let the whole Tangqi know that Qin Feng was protected by the guards from the Tianji Camp. Anyone who dared to do anything evil would face Tianji. Battalion Guard's Thunder Strike.
not only that!
After all, the guards of the Tianji Battalion were made of flesh and blood. Even if they all had the courage to fight one against a hundred, they would still be unable to save themselves in the face of the Lin family's reckless counterattack.
Therefore, Qin Feng used "buying grain" as an excuse to transfer 200 yamen soldiers from Changping County.
The euphemistic name is escorting food, but in fact they are setting up camp outside Tangqi City. Hey, they can't leave.
A thousand new troops were also transferred from Beixi County.
In fact, there are 200 new troops, and the remaining 800 are all new recruits who come out to practice with the veterans.
As for excuses, Qin Feng didn't even bother to waste his brain cells and escorted the food transport team.
Now that the population of Beixi County has exploded, the defenders have expanded several times. Although they are mainly new recruits and lack actual combat experience, at least the number is here.
