Su Shiyilu looked at Lin Feng with strange eyes.
The sight was so intense that she couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to.
He said: "If you have any questions, just ask."
Marshal Chu often said that this old guy is full of bad things. Unlike those brainless Shiwu tribes, this guy not only has brains, but also has incredible luck. No one will say it outright when they hold a grudge. Instead, they lie dormant like a poisonous snake waiting for a bite.
As for the former, Lin Feng will not comment for the time being - Su Shiyilu hates himself and does not hide his malice, which is very different from Marshal Chu's evaluation. Regarding the latter, Lin Feng believed it. Su Shiyilu was now a poisonous snake.
but-
Hehe, she can refine Gu.
Poisonous snakes are one of the five poisonous snakes, and she has dealt with them a lot over the years. She personally captured many precious and rare venomous snakes that seal their throats when they see blood. She is good at catching snakes.
Su Shiyilu was not polite to her: "It has only been a while since we arrived at Zhuyue Pass, and we only rested for an hour before and after. Where did you find the time to bribe the 'ghost'? I admit that money is really easy to use, just take one dose." , it will be effective immediately, but no matter how powerful it is, it still needs to be spent to be effective.”
He kept staring at Lin Feng.
The other party should not be out of sight for more than half a quarter of an hour.
What can you do in just half a quarter of an hour?
Unexpectedly, Lin Feng glanced at him as if he were looking at a fool, and his understatement made Su Shiyilu furious, wishing he could poach her tricks to serve as food for dinner. He looked sternly and said, "Lin, what do you mean by that look in your eyes?"
Lin Feng looked away: "It's not interesting. Lin was just a little surprised. The general once led the Wuzhou Army and fought with Marshal Chu. He didn't even know that the superiors don't have to do everything personally, right? Everything is big." Even those who fight with iron will die from exhaustion. Before we came, someone had bribed the brats with money. It is about the survival of Kang State, so it is natural to make arrangements in advance. "
The man who did this was a businessman.
This person is smooth and clever. Lin Feng has dealt with her twice.
Su Shiyilu’s face turned blue and black.
When others say this, he may laugh at it.
It happened to come from Lin Feng's mouth, and in Su Shiyilu's ears, it was like a yin and yang aura, with the effect of doubling critical hits.
In a rage, Su Shiyilu got angry.
Before the fall of Kang State or the fall of Chu Yao, he could not touch Lin Feng. If Lin Feng is touched, Shen Youli, who has received tens of thousands of knives, will attack the old aristocrats of Wuzhou. Lin Feng's death is the best excuse for massacre and purge. Even if the person surnamed Shen did not act ruthlessly in consideration of his reputation for future generations, Chu Wuhui would not give up. Chu Jie was still Chu Wuhui's most loyal and obedient vicious dog that could bite!
Su Shiyilu has spent a lot of time studying the civil and military officials of Kang State over the years. There are not many people he can really fear, and Chu Yao ranks among the top three. The Lin Feng in front of her had a strong backer.
Su Shiyi Luwu, who was angry for a moment, was sulking to himself.
The disguised Su Shiyilu generals lowered their heads, looking at the sky and the ground but not daring to look at their own peaks. Shangfeng can't touch Lin Feng at the moment, but that doesn't mean he can't touch them.
At this juncture, there is no chance of trouble.
Su Shiyilu’s mentality is a little bad now. Since Lin Feng boasted about Haikou's desire to seize military glory, he would see how she would seize it. He was only responsible for fighting, and other matters were extraneous.
Lin Feng didn’t care about this.
Having been on the road for half an hour, Su Shiyilu suddenly became alert.
He lowered his voice: "Someone is approaching."
Lin Feng’s expression remained unchanged: “Continue on your way.”
Su Shiyilu was worried that the people coming were Northern Desert soldiers and horses, and there was a high probability that his identity would be discovered. For a moment, he regretted following Lin Feng here for his wild adventures. His eyes were fixed on Lin Feng's vest, and he was planning in his heart whether he would die anyway. Before he died, he would take out her heart with his bare hands and crush it!
The more you are afraid of something, the more likely it will come.
The ones approaching them were indeed soldiers and horses from the Northern Desert.
Lin Feng stepped forward with a natural expression.
Contrary to Su Shiyilu's expectation, the visitors did not take action. He looked up at the flag they had displayed and uncharacteristically calmed down his momentum. Lin Feng stepped forward naturally, took out an object from his arms, and communicated with the leader of the team in a proficient and fluent Northern Desert language without an accent. Su Shiyilu also knew some Beimo dialect, so he secretly listened and could barely understand most of it.
Lin Feng changed from his usual taciturn and cold expression, and his expression was flattering and rich: "The little one is here to send some condolences on the order of the parents."
She took out a few pieces of valuable broken silver from her arms: "My parents have specially ordered that the military masters should not be dissatisfied with the few. There will be a batch in a few days, including this amount, all for the military masters."
When the team leader heard this, his eyes lit up several times.
But these are extraordinary times, and the procedures that need to be followed still need to be followed. His eyes fell directly on the fully loaded wooden cart.
He turned to the person and said, "Go and have a look."
After saying that, more than a dozen people came forward to search.
They did not search the people in the team, but picked out the animal skins covering the car. Under the animal skins were filled with warm clothing, strong liquor, dried meat, and food and grass in large quantities. It was only now that Su Shiyilu knew what was inside, and wondered what kind of medicine Lin Feng's gourd was selling. These Northern Desert soldiers did not conduct strict inspections, and they would not be afraid even if they did. There is indeed nothing wrong with these things.
The Northern Desert soldiers led by him left with the people.
Before leaving, he also told Lin Feng not to miss the time.
Su Shiyilu and others were gone, so he couldn't help but say: "If these people are my soldiers, kill them all."
Lin Feng laughed and said: "What are you talking about? Let alone these soldiers, even if these soldiers come to the top, the result will be the same. Money can make ghosts grind, there is no difference between little ghosts and big ghosts. Really speaking The difference is that the big ghost’s appetite will be greater.”
Su Shiyilu almost stared: "What?"
Lin Feng said: "The living environment in the Northern Desert is very cruel. Only one out of ten thousand people are rich, and the rest are poor. Even if there is a mutual trade in Tuocheng, the good things basically go to the hands of high-ranking officials and nobles. In order to go south in the Northern Desert, The conspiracy was to blatantly exploit the lower class and coax them into handing over their wealth. The Northern Desert Royal Court purchased large quantities of high-yielding grain seeds from Kang State for five consecutive years. The harvest increased every year, but the number of people dying of starvation also increased. Excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes , cleverly set up a name, and do everything possible!"
Su Shiyilu had an inexplicable illusion that he was also scolded. Some places in Shiwu back then were about the same as those in Beimo.
“Does this have anything to do with the group just now?”
Lin Feng said: "It does matter, it does matter a lot."
Because Beimo, under the banner of conquering the northwest continent and seeking world domination, coaxes ignorant people to contribute to the realization of this dream - their generation will suffer a little, and future generations will be grateful for the sacrifices of their ancestors. There were many people in the Northern Desert who responded, and then they were squeezed to the bone. As long as there is profit, there will be greedy people who get wind of it. At first it was just ordinary people who tightened their belts, then people who were a little taller than ordinary people, and then a little taller...
Layer-by-layer exploitation and layer-by-layer corruption.
Su Shiyilu: “This—”
Lin Feng also thought it was a bit outrageous at first, but this is the current situation. Some small tribal soldiers who are not valued are having their food and salary deducted, and it is almost impossible to uncover the blame. They urged the superiors, who either pushed back and blocked or asked them to think of their own solutions.
Merchants who contacted Lin Feng saw business opportunities. She secretly cooperated with these soldiers for smuggling.
Build relationships layer by layer.
In front of several Northern Desert dignitaries, they all have their own names and surnames.
This merchant's black smuggling business is getting bigger and bigger, and some of the Northern Desert soldiers and horses in the war zone are counting on her to give them money to buy food. This is the God of Wealth! If the God of Wealth is gone, what will everyone do with their food? Naturally, we have to protect him to the death.
Give convenience to those who are convenient, and give convenience to those who take the back door.
Bei Mo Xungui turned a blind eye even though he took advantage of it.
If that's not enough, both eyes can be closed.
Su Shiyilu’s expression was distorted: “This is too ridiculous!”
Although there are many problems in Shiwu, they are not so outrageous.
Can't these people see that there might be something wrong behind that businessman? If a mere merchant has no support and guidance behind him, even if he has extraordinary abilities, it will be difficult for him to pass the three-level inspection. Even if the mutual market opened normally at that time, with such a large volume and lasting for such a long time, Kang Guo would not pay attention to it? Are these people crazy?
Lin Fengdao: "The general underestimated human nature."
On one side are those who deduct and delay food payments and work hard to exploit themselves, and on the other side are the Gods of Wealth who provide food, money, clothing, and warmth. Who would have trouble with the latter? They also have to support their families. If they can be hungry, can their parents, wives and children at home?
Furthermore—
Because the high-yielding grain crops are obvious to all, Bei Mo has had enough to eat in the first two years. Everyone is full of expectations for the future and is not afraid of going hungry in the future. Warm, full and full of lust, the number of children born and fed in the past two years has more than doubled compared to the previous peak.
Even if Beimo intensified its exploitation in the following years, there would not be many fewer children born, because Beimo showed off her tricks at critical moments—well, these tricks were inseparable from her teacher’s secret actions—now that she is having more children, Beimo is giving birth to more children. There will be more warriors in the desert in the future, and the goal of the northern desert is not just the northwest!
Listen up, you are not giving birth to a child but a future warrior.
Every household has more mouths to eat.
The pressure to support a family is naturally greater.
In order to overcome the current difficulties, the current warriors in the Northern Desert dare not touch this great God of Wealth. As long as the God of Wealth doesn't betray Bei Mo and is not exposed, he can continue to get the benefits he deserves. If you really can't hold it anymore, it's too late to chop the God of Wealth into pieces.
The flag that Lin Feng held up belonged to the great God of Wealth.
Su Shiyilu was completely stunned.
Holds up a sentence after a long while: "This is too damaging."
Northern Desert has accumulated a large amount of war materials by relying on high-yield grains. It seems that it has achieved its goal, but Kang State does not suffer any loss.
If there had not been a war, Beimo could have killed himself.
The bottom layer can still hold on for a while.
But what if we delay it for another year or two?
I’m afraid I don’t know how many people will starve to death.
Lin Feng looked at Su Shiyilu and smiled without saying a word.
In fact, the various arrangements for Shiwu, especially the inscriptions of the ten ancestors, were also quite destructive. But the things Yi Shiwu did were worthy of these treatments.
Su Shiyilu also thought about this, his face became even worse, and he said with a strange tone: "My lord is not afraid that Beimo will follow suit."
No human being can withstand the temptation of profit.
Corruption is not just a problem for Beimo.
There are many ways to quietly let people fall into corruption. It seems that Jinli County in Kunzhou has learned a similar lesson.
The entire state of Kang was not impeccably clean.
Lin Feng: "Of course I am afraid, so the supervisory censor will frequently visit various places and stop them as soon as there are signs. Is it faster to cultivate corrupt officials in the Northern Desert, or is it faster to use the butcher's knife?"
Isn’t the answer clear at a glance?
Su Shiyilu blushed.
Only now did he realize the difference between himself and Shen Tang, the black-hearted people. The difference was that he was just a black-hearted person, while Shen Tang and his group, who had suffered thousands of knives, were heartless and rotten! If these methods had been used on Shiwu back then, he didn't dare to imagine how broken Shiwu would have been. At the same time, Su Shiyilu also felt a little afraid of Lin Feng, who was chatting and laughing next to him.
This man’s heart is also rotten!
Even though a group of people were not familiar with the place and place of life in the Northern Desert, they couldn't resist Lin Feng's unique approach. When they met the investigators, Lin Feng stepped forward to negotiate, but Su Shiyilu and the others pretended to be dumb. Well, the characters they played were not only mute but also deaf - this was what Lin Feng proposed to the big businessman back then. Although these people in the Northern Desert can be bribed, they are also afraid that the incident will come to light. They use a group of dumb and deaf people to transport smuggling. They don't have to worry about them leaking secrets, and those in the Northern Desert can rest assured - now they are not afraid of being found out because of their language barrier.
Through the pass in this way, the journey was smooth.
Su Shiyilu spurned him and went to the Northern Desert.
Desperately, he discovered that if he were a Northern Desert soldier, he would also be deceived - Lin Feng's performance was flawless, and his accent, which is most prone to problems, was also flawless; the soldiers he met had all been corrupted and bribed by the God of Wealth, giving them the green light; even in the middle, there were mistakes The soldiers and horses followed out of caution, but since the convoy did not carry any map, it relied entirely on Lin Feng to lead the way, and there were no flaws in the route.
Who would doubt the authenticity of their identity?
Except for Lin Feng, who has some strength, everyone in the convoy is just a relatively strong deaf-mute. Even the scout totem with the most sensitive sense of smell has not found any clues. The disguise is perfect!
Lin Feng and others escorted the condolences to the nearby granary.
She also walked up to the grain inspector openly and openly.
The contents of the two large boxes were given to the grain inspector.
The expression on the grain inspector's face was indifferent, but his eyes fell on the open cage. The upper layer was just ordinary clothes to keep out the cold. Lin Feng said that there were only clothes, some fine wine, dry food, and Kangguo specialties given to the grain inspector's wife and daughter. , but as long as you listen to the sound of the cage falling to the ground, you will know that there is something else inside. The grain inspector had obviously received gifts more than once and knew the ropes.
He said: "Parents Chen has spent a lot of money."
"No expense, no expense. Parents often say that without the guidance and care of the military master, how would the family business be today? These are all worthless things, how can they be worth one ten thousandth of your kindness?"
A lot of the grain and grass here are sold by the God of Wealth at low prices, which saves people who raise food a lot of trouble and makes a lot of difference in price. The grain inspector also benefited from it. Now that he was being flattered again, he was even more considerate and would not be embarrassed.
Even specially prepared wine and food to entertain the God of Wealth.
He even teased Lin Feng for his cleverness and smoothness.
“Well, it looks a bit like Mr. Chen’s parents.”
