Chapter 672 Chapter 672: Lin Feng's Storybook【Two in One】
"Ah, thanks—"
Gong Xiqiu rubbed his itchy nose.
It took several sneezes to slow down.
"It's the hour, who is talking about me?" Gong Xiqiu took a big gulp of the dirty wine, his brows furrowed. During the few days when he was a "captive" in Xiaocheng, he drank the best wine, but he didn't expect to make his tongue tricky, and now he always feels uncomfortable drinking wine outside. He put down the wine bowl, took a bite of the food and drink, and muttered, "It must be either Alai or Mama..."
He was preparing to go back to the guest room to rest after eating.
The conversation of the diners by the window caught his attention.
Diner A sighed again and again, Diner B asked concerned.
"... Sigh, the family has nothing to do, but I heard that the war is going to start again. I originally planned to get better this year and go out to order some food. Who knows... Sigh."
Diner A is upset. His family is a grain merchant, and it is not enough to sell the grain from his own fields. He needs to go out to buy grain at a low price, and then transport it back and sell it at a high price. He earns the difference.
These grains cannot be harvested until the autumn harvest. We need to negotiate a few months in advance and pay a deposit to prevent the grain from being robbed by other colleagues. Without food to sell, business cannot be done.
The family has a lot of expenses, and there is nothing to eat.
Diner B said: "A war is going to happen again? Where?"
Diner A gave him a blank look: "Where else can it be? Isn't it the same group of people and tyrants? After fighting for so long, there is no result, just thinking about exploiting us ordinary people. It's both grain and corvee. There were people who robbed them by force.”
The coalition forces of the Dragon Slaying Bureau still need to save face. When they are short of food, they will send people to collect food and buy them in large quantities at a price lower than the market price. How much lower? The grain merchants who ran into him thought they were unlucky, but they would not lose their fortunes, nor would they lose their lives.
The inhumane things under Zheng Qiao's account are different. Not to mention buying and selling them at almost free prices, they will also force the common people to work as food haulers and forced to serve corvée. Those who don't want to be beaten violently at least, and their families are ruined at worst.
Some food was robbed while it was still in the field.
but-
The two groups of forces are similar in nature.
There is no need to compare the difference between rotten and worse.
Diner B hurriedly said: "This kind of world should be more careful, so as not to collect food and be intercepted halfway."
Diner A can only comfort himself, this is a blessing in disguise. When the two talked about this topic, it was natural that they would vent their anger together. At this time, a tall figure approached, invisible with terrible pressure.
This person is naturally Gong Xiqiu.
"Where are you talking about fighting? Who and whom?"
Diner A and Diner B looked at Gong Xichou's body, and subconsciously felt fear. Seeing that Gong Xichou was just curious, they put down their guard. Diner A replied: "Isn't it that the allied army fighting with Zheng Qiao?"
He recalled the news he heard.
"Oh, it is said to be in Xingyang Road." Although merchants travel from south to north, the transportation is inconvenient and the scope of activities is limited. He doesn't know exactly where this Xingyang Road is, so he asked Gong Xichou again, "Look This brawny man doesn't look like an ordinary person, if you inquire about this, do you want to gain fame?"
The battlefield is the best stage for warriors to become famous.
Those who want to make great achievements will do whatever they want to fight.
Diner A thought that Gong Xichou was also one of them.
"No, I'm just curious. A friend of mine will probably go too..." Gong Xiqiu brought over the wine and dishes, invited the two to drink with a familiar attitude, and wanted to get more information from them, such as How many forces will participate and how many troops will be involved.
Unfortunately, both of them are ordinary people, and the news about Diner A was also heard by chance, so it is not very clear.
but-
Diner B drank Gong Xichou's wine, suddenly remembered something, and said: "Then what kind of dragon slayer, I'm afraid it will be slaughtered."
Gong Xiqiu asked, "Where did you say that?"
Diner B signaled Gong Xichou to come over to their ears.
whispered: "You don't know..."
Diner B has a distant relative's brother-in-law who works in the mansion of a big man. The nobleman he serves is said to be the number one combat force under the tyrant Zheng Qiao's tent. With him in charge, killing people is as easy as chopping melons and vegetables. It is said that a breakthrough is imminent. The strength is terrifying.
Gong Xiqiu asked: "Really?"
Passenger B said: "Naturally it is true."
He was afraid that Gong Xichou would think that he was bragging, and said, "I heard that there are too many gold and silver beauties rewarded by the tyrant lord. If they are not powerful, the tyrant lord will attach so much importance to them?"
Diner B finally said: "Just wait and see the result and you will know. The strong man listens to a piece of advice. If you want to go there, don't go to that dragon slayer, so as not to be slaughtered by the tyrant..."
Passenger A: "Isn't that a running dog for the tyrant?"
Passenger B: "Is life more important than being a dog?"
After finishing speaking, the two sighed at the same time.
Gong Xiqiu drank quietly, being an audience member, and prepared to inquire about the situation on Xingyang Road the next day.
Yanzhou, border of Xingyang Road.
There have been several battles between the Allied Forces of Dragon Slaying Bureau and Zheng Qiao's soldiers here. Both sides have won and lost each other, but they are always helpless against each other. Last year, both sides reached an impasse. The biggest problem is not the strength of troops, but the supply of food and supplies.
Wu Xian also delayed the time because of food and grass issues.
"Because of food and grass?"
Shen Tang listened to gossip to pass the time, surprised.
Shaking his head, "It's impossible."
Wu Xian has Xu Jie as a walking ATM machine. This ATM opportunity makes money by himself. To some extent, it is inexhaustible and inexhaustible. In the past few years, he has helped Shen Tang sell high-quality refined salt, earning a lot of money secretly.
It is Xu Jie's turn to be short of money.
Would he not be able to raise the supply of food and grass for tens of thousands of troops?
Gu Chi sneered: "How is it impossible?"
Today's fishing companions are Xun Ding + Gu Chi.
Gu Chi took a tour of Wu Xian's camp, eating melons to his full.
Shen Tang recalled Xu Jie's last account settlement, and counted with his fingers: "How do I calculate, Xu Wenzhu is still far from bankruptcy, and a mere tens of thousands of shi grains can beat him?"
When talking about the mere tens of thousands of stones, grain and grass, Shen Tang's expression was undisguised jealousy, and she also wanted to own an ATM machine.
Gu Chidao: "Under normal circumstances, it is hard to fail."
However, it is not normal.
Wu Xian sent his confidants to cooperate with Xu Jie in raising food.
The grain collection area is concentrated in Heyin.
This place had a good harvest of grain for four consecutive years. Although the next two years were not as high as the first two years, Xu Jie managed it seriously, and with the support of the infrastructure left by Shen Tang's team before they left, the harvest was also good. The food surplus of every household is increasing year by year.
Xu Jie wanted to collect grain at the market price.
As a result, he was sued, saying that he was enriching his own pockets and deliberately making things difficult, asking for 30% of the market price to eat all of He Yin's surplus food.
Shen Tang almost spit out a mouthful of water: "Xu Wenzhu paid the money, why is he pocketing his own money? Is the left hand the right hand?"
Gu Chi: "Wu Zhaode doesn't give out a penny."
It's just Xu Xie showing his head.
The accounts are all public accounts.
"It's not picky that the grain harvested is old grain that has been stored for two years, that is, the grain is moldy, and soldiers eat it can cause diarrhea, and finally the grain is put into the warehouse, and it is said that the actual income does not match the accounts...there is also the cook. Wu Zhaode pulled this time. With more than half of the family property and more food and grass, the number of cooks to transport food will also increase, so I thought about recruiting corvees in the Heyin border..."
The corvée these days, not to mention working for others out of their own pockets, and if they are unlucky, they may also lose their lives, and die of overwork. Xu Jie naturally wouldn't agree, and there were more conflicts.
The corners of Gu Chi's lips curled up.
"...Wu Zhaode's confidant was repeatedly rejected by Xu Wenzhu, and the two of them had deep conflicts. In a rage, they said that Xu Wenzhu was a toad [toad] on the table. They really regarded themselves as a dish. Xu Wenzhu was completely irritated by Liu Guo's despicable pursuit of profit, so he deliberately dragged the grain and grass, Wu Zhaode could only pull his face down, and made peace several times..."
Xu Jie took the time to do good things for Wu Xian.
Shen Tang clapped his hands and called "Miao"!
"So, Wu Zhaode and Wenzhu are completely divorced?" Shen Tang seemed to see the scene of the ATM machine running towards him, and his heart was about to move, "No, there is still a lack of fire."
Gu Chi smiled and said, "This fire is going to burn soon."
Shen Tang looked at the fishing rod that was still unable to catch any fish, and suddenly thought of a person: "Qin Gongsu didn't say anything to stop him?"
She didn't know anyone else under Wu Xian's account, but only one Qin Li was familiar with. A person who let Yuan Liang catch the pit and save his life, this Qin Li is definitely not an ordinary person.
Certainly will not watch their side die.
Gu Chidao: "The Tianhai department is very exclusive."
Qin Li's voice cannot reach everyone.
What's more, freezing three feet does not happen in a day, and some conflicts cannot be so deep in a day or two. When Gu Chi talked about this, he sighed a little: "This also involves the dispute between Wu Zhaode's two sons, it's very complicated..."
Qin Li can't get involved too much.
If no one secretly instructed, even if that confidant didn't deal with Xu Jie again, for the sake of money bag, he wouldn't make things too difficult, let alone humiliate him. Xu Jie really spent the past two years protecting Heyin County and fulfilling his promise to Shen Tang.
Shen·Single Dog·Tang was taken aback when he heard that.
"So complicated?"
Gu Chi said: "It's very complicated."
Shen Tang thought for a long time to come to a conclusion: "Sure enough, we still have to respond to the call for only one child. It is better to have only one... There are too many heirs. Although there are many choices, there are also many struggles..." After finishing speaking, he nodded seriously, expressing his Write down.
The corners of Gu Chi's mouth twitched slightly: "My lord, it's hard to live more."
A man can conceive multiple wives and concubines at the same time, but a woman can only give birth to one concubine a year. Shen Tang is still the leader of a party, and most of his energy should be focused on business rather than childbirth. It is enough to have an heir under the knee, what the **** is the second child.
Shen Tang grinned: "Maybe I'm very talented."
Gu Chi: "???"
"I can make a man bear me a child."
Gu Chi: "...hehe."
Boys, no.
He doesn't like to watch such grotesque themes.
Sibao County, official office.
Lin Feng sent piles and piles of precious collections, some of which were orphans, with bold themes and unrestrained content, which made people blush and dared to peek in the room.
"Master, you can try all these themes."
The teacher went out to join the army, and his brother Tu Rong also went to gain experience and increase his experience. Lin Feng was so free for the first time.
Liao Jia flipped through it casually.
He has also read one of them, but only the first volume, and Lin Feng has both volumes here. The general content is about a young boy who has an amazing appearance since he was a child. When she was old and fading, she fell in love at first sight with an aristocratic patriarch. The latter asked the male servant to disguise himself as a female and bring him into the family as a concubine in the ninth chamber.
This is the first volume that Liao Jia read.
The content of the second volume exploded.
The patriarch of the aristocratic family is empty at the knees, and he and his wife have had no heirs for many years. The arrival of this young man brought blessings. The wife gave birth to a son, and the family lived in harmony. Unexpectedly, there will be unexpected events, the patriarch of the aristocratic family will be implicated in a big case of seizing the heir, the whole family will be dispatched into the army, the young man will return to men's clothing and escape with the only child in the family, thinking in his heart to reverse the case for the patriarch.
Xiao Guan was lucky and met a tall man. And this high-ranking man once admired Guan'er's childhood beauty, and there was another entanglement. After studying, Guan'er became a teacher, and joined the largest vassal power with a second-rank upper Chinese heart, as a staff assistant, and made a contribution to the dragon.
Finally, the young man became famous, and sent people to inquire about it, took him back to the patriarch's family, and continued to live in harmony.
"... Wuhui is right not to let you read more scripts."
What does the little girl see?
Is she sure this instinct will act out?
Yes, play.
Shen Tang led the troops to the expedition, and Lin Feng and Shen Zhi also made new progress in the selection of cotton seeds. She was going to give herself a two-day vacation, and read the story books when she was bored. Not surprisingly, the master book Qishan found out, Qishan's eyes were gloomy, and Lin Feng showed his shield!
The protagonist asked her to collect more scripts.
Qi Shan and Liao Jia felt a little fresh after listening to Lin Feng's retelling of the ideas, and they also keenly discovered many benefits - interpreting the script, the common people have a place to have fun, and reduce crime virtually, and they can also use the content affect the common people.
Immediately asked Lin Feng to contribute the collected scripts.
result-
Such a large scale can be done? ? ?
Liao Jia smiled: "In the storybook, all of them are stunning beauties, where can we find so many stunning beauties?"
Lin Feng: "Isn't there a prayer book?"
There are no natural ones, but there are as many artificial ones as there are.
Pray for goodness: "...???"
Liao Jia pinched her chin and thought seriously: "It's okay, but the book with weird content can't be adopted. Some normal and inspirational ones, even if they sing praises, are better than this book."
He praised the second book that made his three views explode.
Lin Feng hesitated to speak.
She wants to say...
She knows the author of this storybook.
If you don’t know each other, where can I get the second volume of the only copy?
On the second day, Xingyang Road.
The cold wind howled, and the flags fluttered.
The camps of various forces are camped here, and they are connected as one from a distance. It seems to be connected, but in fact they defend each other, and the patterns are not the same. In the last battle, Wu Xian left part of his troops to station and guard here. The camp is ready-made, so there is no need to set up a camp.
Shen Tang has to start from the beginning.
There are several familiar faces in Dragon Slaying Bureau, but most of them are new faces. Among the allies who participated in the Xiaocheng alliance, the oldest was three years old, and the youngest was almost full moon. It can be seen from this that power changes frequently and human life is cheap.
Shen Tang had just set up camp here, when a familiar face came to visit him, and he was an "uninvited guest" who was besieged.
"Everyone stop, please come in."
Shen Tang recognized the person as Gu Ren and his "aunt".
Chao Lian ranked twelfth, and Shao Chong ranked thirteen. The former is fine, but the latter has bloomed in the past few years, and it is almost unrecognizable.

The content of the storybook is what Shiitake saw a few days ago. It has been slightly modified, but the core remains the same. I can only feel that the brain holes of the ancients are also terrifying.
