However, on the second day after purchasing a large amount of brine salt ore, something changed: Guo's thieves cut off the Yellow River, making it impossible for the people to complete the trade of minerals and grain.
At the same time, they had all the large amounts of brine ore in the east direction of the river stuck in their hands.
Now that they have taken action, as the rebels who suppress Luo Jing, they will definitely pursue more than this.
Sure enough, on the third day.
Thief Guo sent his eldest son Guo Denglin to take people directly to the salt factory!
When the news came, Zhou Che happened to receive a batch of armor and equipment from the palace arsenal.
Although the emperor did not directly give him military power, after all, the salt factory was located close to the Guo thieves.
Zhou Che must at least solve his own security problem, right?
Therefore, you get three hundred armor, three hundred horses, and matching bows, crossbows, swords and guns.
He doesn't have so much available force at the moment, so he will first arm the ranger masters sent by Zhen.
For these people, it is an exaggeration to say that one is worth a hundred.
But if one breaks ten, the problem is not big.
If thrown into the army, it can be used as a military sharp sword.
Zhen Wu brought more than a hundred servants.
He is said to be a child servant, but he is actually a guard at home.
It's just that if you remove the knife in Luojing and put it outside, it can cut and kill.
After Zhou Che distributed the armored war horses to everyone, Zhen Wu excitedly shook his wind-splitting machete: "I just want to kill two people right now to enjoy myself!"
Although Mrs. Zhen was rich, she did not dare to make armor and hide armor.
In the past, Zhen Wu could only play house in leather armor.
"Those thieves won't watch us eat meat. It won't be long."
Zhou Che got on his horse and looked coldly: "I'm looking for trouble today, come with me."
"yes!"
Zhou Che and his party of more than a hundred riders quickly rushed to the Mangshan Salt Factory.
Salt factory.
In order to coordinate all matters in the salt factory, Yan Cheng, the commander of the cavalry camp, and Lu Huang, the chief minister, were both present.
Guo Denglin is about in his early twenties, quite tall and has an evil and arrogant look.
However, it is difficult for a person like him not to be arrogant.
It is said that before Guo was a thief, he was convicted of rape and murder and became a prisoner.
He was supposed to be punished, and he took advantage of the disaster to escape, and then took the lead in robbing the wealthy family, and finally became bigger step by step.
As for Guo Denglin, he had never read a book since he was a child. His family was poor, and his father was taken to jail.
He was looked down upon when he was young, but when he got older, he soon fell into the same path as his father - he was still a looked-down gangster.
But not long after, his father suddenly transformed and became the leader of the rebel army that the court could not do anything about.
He himself is also known as the Prince of Hedong.
How can one not be crazy about such a big life change?
He only led dozens of riders into the salt factory. When he met Lu Huang and Yan Cheng, he showed no courtesy and just smiled: "You two should be able to talk things over?"
Lu Huang frowned, looking unhappy.
He is Jiuqing, and even the emperor and princes would not be so rude to each other.
As a warrior, Yan Cheng was quite polite when facing this thief prince, and he cupped his hand: "Master Guo, this is not the first time we have dealt with him."
"Hahaha!" Guo Denglin laughed: "I still recognize General Yan... I said you are not interesting enough. Isn't it a bit too much to do such a profitable business without bringing brothers with you?"
Yan Cheng's expression froze slightly and he smiled and said, "Master, please sit inside and we can talk slowly."
"lead the way!"
Guo Denglin showed no fear.
He is a thief, what is he afraid of?
What you should be afraid of is the group of officials in front of you!
If they dare to touch a hair of their own, they are provoking the entire Hedong!
After taking his seat, Lu Huang said directly: "Exchanging mines for food is beneficial to Hedong. Why do you..."
"Don't talk to me about this useless nonsense, I don't have time to listen!"
Guo Denglin waved his hand and interrupted rudely: "The court should not treat us as fools. The people below have exchanged mines for money and food. Who will work for us?"
"You can easily dig up my foundation. You are dreaming!"
Lu Huang suppressed his anger: "Then what are you going to do?"
"Easy, one way!"
Guo Denglin stretched out his finger: "In the future, we will also have a share in the salt mine, and we will share half of the profits."
"You are dreaming!"
As the minister in charge of finance, Lu Huang became angry when he heard this.
After the salt mine was put into operation, the annual income brought to the treasury was counted in the tens of millions.
Split the thieves in half?
Why don't you ask the old Zhou family to give you half of the country? ?
"Ah!"
Guo Denglin sneered and said: "It doesn't matter if you start building this thing, it will be easy for us to get the method."
"This mine is the richest in Hedong. This is one of the reasons why it will never be associated with the imperial court in the future."
"Secondly, we will not let go of the Mangshan Salt Factory."
"As long as you refuse, the army will arrive within three days and burn the salt factory to rubble!"
Lu Huang's hair and beard grew wild: "It's so arrogant! This is the seat of the imperial court, at the feet of the emperor! How dare a bunch of thieves be so arrogant!"
"What happened at the emperor's feet?"
"What's wrong with being crazy?"
Guo Denglin sneered and said, "If I don't act arrogantly, will the court let us go?"
"The imperial court can't help us because the imperial sword is not sharp enough, but our fists are big enough."
"If that's the case, what can you do if I become more aggressive?"
"Old guy, you're a scholar and don't know what's important. I'm not interested in having a deep conversation with you."
He turned his gaze and landed on Yan Cheng: "General Yan, you and I have dealt with each other before, why don't you just say something, is this okay or not?"
Yan Cheng looked troubled, shook his head and said, "Mr. Guo, we can't answer this for you. We need to report it to the superiors."
"joke!"
Guo Denglin smiled sarcastically: "It turns out that both of you don't mean what you say. Who has the final say here?"
Yan Cheng immediately kicked the ball: "The salt factory here belongs to the Sixth Prince and the Zhen family."
"Oh~ I saw that trash before." Guo Denglin laughed and said: "Back then, before my family became big, I once went to Luojing to gamble and met this trash."
"I said, has the Great Xia Dynasty gone this far? Does it even have to support such a waste?"
Lu Huang was furious and slapped the case: "Asshole! He is the prince of Daxia, how can he allow you to humiliate him like a thief?!"
"What happened to the prince? Did I wrong him?"
"What's wrong with me being a thief? I'm a thief who dares to pee on his territory, but he still dares to fart?!"
Guo Denglin snorted disdainfully: "Go ahead and call that loser over!"
Yan Cheng replied: "The Sixth Prince is not here."
"Then he didn't arrange for someone to represent him?" Guo Denglin asked again.
The tent door opened, and a fiery red figure walked in.
Qian Hongxue was dressed in a red skirt and robe, with a long whip wrapped around her waist and her thin waist tightly locked.
Feng Yan, who used to be unruly and willful, is now much more suppressed and calmly said: "My Highness will be here later."
"Yo!"
Seeing Qian Hongxue, Guo Denglin's eyes suddenly lit up: "Miss Hongxue!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, long time no see, your figure is still as enchanting as ever."
As the owner of Qian's Casino, Guo Denglin naturally appreciates the hotness of this red snake.
However, Qian Hongxue was in Luojing and did not leave. Although his family was powerful, they could not reach into the imperial city and could only indulge in greed.
"Oh, I remembered."
"The Qian family was destroyed. I heard that Miss Hongxue also became someone else's slave?"
"Come on, since others can taste it, I also want to taste it today. Come sit here."
He patted his side.
Qian Hongxue frowned and stepped back: "Mr. Guo, I belong to the Sixth Prince."
"so what?"
Guo Denglin burst into laughter: "That loser can ride, but I can't ride anymore?"
Qian Hongxue's fists clenched slightly, but knowing that the other party was strong, she did not argue with him and turned around and walked out.
"you dare!"
Guo Denglin shouted loudly.
A teacup was thrown at Qian Hongxue's feet and shattered.
"If you dare to step out of this tent, then there is no need to talk about this matter."
"I don't care so much, I'll take it from you first!"
Qian Hongxue stopped at the door.
Yan Cheng glanced at her coldly: "Come here."
Lu Huang said coldly: "General Yan, what do you mean?"
"Mr. Lu, the overall situation is the most important thing." Yan Cheng bowed his hands to him: "Mr. Guo wants a criminal's daughter, so why not give it to him?"
