Chapter 639 Thinking of King Jin

Zhuozhou

Zhao Minglou looked at the bare fields here and the bare fields there, silent.

The reason why these large open spaces have not been connected into one piece is because they are interspersed with a small number of lush green crop fields.

These crops actually take good care of themselves. If they are allowed to mature naturally, it will be a good harvest year.

But Zhao Minglou knew that it would only be a matter of time before the remaining fields, with crops still planted on them, became bare. Maybe it will be one night, maybe three, five, seven days later, who knows.

In short, the crops growing in these fields will be harvested early before they can bear fruit.

Zhao Minglou looked at these bare fields again, like chess pieces on a chessboard that had been eaten by the enemy, and occupied territory.

He felt that the feeling of being restrained and suffocated was getting stronger and stronger.

And the sword hanging above the head, I don't know when it will fall.

At this time, Zhao Minglou really missed the time when his brother-in-law was still here.

Recently, he heard a rumor that his brother-in-law fell into the sea and was saved by people at the beach. He did not die.

There is no doubt that this news was spread by Pingzhou.

Didn't Xie Zhan want to hide in the dark? Didn't he not want too many people to know that he was still alive?

Then they will go against him! In short, if the enemy does not want to do something, they should actively do it and use all their strength to cause harm.

Zhao Minglou was skeptical about the news that his brother-in-law Xie Zhan had been rescued.

He hoped in his heart that this was true, but felt it was impossible. Because if his brother-in-law was really rescued, why didn't he show up? Why not come out and take charge?

If nothing else, once he showed up, he would at least get good treatment. Hiding in the dark, it’s hard to guarantee safety, right?

Therefore, Zhao Minglou felt that the credibility of this news was not high.

Zhuozhou, Cai family

Cai Guang and his son had just returned from an inspection of their donkey farm. They drank two cups of herbal tea before they felt their thirst was quenched.

"Dad, the price of donkeys has risen very strongly."

The price of the donkeys is said to be fifteen taels per head, but in fact, some of the donkeys that are in good condition and are fat and strong are sold for more than fifteen taels.

Cai Guang was also very happy after hearing his son's words. This meant that when their donkey was released from the market, the Cai family could make a lot of money and double their wealth.

Cai Qin asked his father, "Dad, who is that Ding Jun?"

Cai Qin was wondering, could the Cai family break the contract? Otherwise, the Cai family would be in great trouble.

The other party originally ordered 100,000 donkeys at a price of 10 taels each and paid a deposit of 60,000 taels.

In the current situation, if the Cai family fulfills the contract, they will lose at least 500,000 taels.

Cai Guang probably guessed a little bit of his son's thoughts, and he was probably unwilling to do so.

But when Ding Jun came to them to order donkeys, the price was still mediocre. No one expected that the price of donkeys would soar to such an extent.

It can be said that the governor of Pingzhou made Zhuozhou hiccup after eating.

Ding Jun's luck is so good. If he catches up with the good times, what can he do?

Therefore, Cai Guang only said, "Don't worry about the person's origins. We will just deliver the goods when the time comes. As for the money, just make less money."

He had been flirting with the middleman He Shizhong before, but He Shizhong only gave him one sentence and told them to do business in a proper manner.

"No, Dad, the contract stipulates that only the other party has the right to break the contract. Isn't it too unfair?"

Cai Guang frowned and said, "What's unfair? I gave you a deposit before, and it was stated at the beginning that if the contract was broken, the deposit of 60,000 taels would be compensation. In other words, there was a price for breaking the contract. This price was originally When we accept it, we agree that they have the right to break the contract.”

He looked at his son and thought, why did this child become like this? Could it be that the rising price of donkeys made him lose his mind?

"Don't go out and fool around with those bad friends these days!"

"Okay." Cai Qin agreed honestly.

However, Cai Qin rolled his eyes when he thought of their other partner.

Contrary to the Cai family, Manager Qi Da, who is in charge of purchasing at Qingzhou Anhe Pharmacy, is in a good mood.

The price of donkeys in Zhuozhou has soared, and the prices of donkeys in surrounding places have also increased. They, Qingzhou, have also been affected.

And because he signed a purchase order with Zhou Yi for 100,000 donkeys at a price of six taels of silver per head, he was highly praised by his superiors and said that he was extremely foresight.

With the price of donkeys rising like this now, he saved their pharmacy a lot of money.

But Manager Qi was worried because the contract stated that the other party had the right to break the contract.

However, Manager Qi felt that even if the other party broke the contract, they would still get 60,000 taels of silver in vain. Not bad either.

Hearing his worries, the man above smiled half-heartedly, "Breaking the contract? Let him try!"

Manager Qi Da said, yes, the master behind their Anhe Pharmacy is not a soft persimmon.

Pingzhou, Changli Government Office

On this day, Lu Songli summoned Guo Chong.

After they arrived, she talked to Guo Chong about his work.

After saying this, Lu Songli picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, then smiled and said, "Speaking of which, it has been some time since King Jin left Donghai. I wonder how King Jin and the others are doing in Fusang? Have they established a firm foothold? No?"

Guo Chong thought for a while and said, "When King Jin set out, he took away many soldiers and weapons, including the mere indigenous people."

"Mr. Guo, I want you and General Qin Sheng to go to Fusang in the next period of time."

Guo Chong: "Hmm?"

This is also the purpose of Lu Songli summoning him this time.

The trip to Fusang is imperative, which is related to her future deployment.

Sending them to Fusang is based on the fact that they had dealt with King Jin before when they went to the East China Sea. Regardless of their friendship, they have some face, which is better than sending others.

In fact, sending Qin Zhao is also OK, but Lu Songli hopes that the trip will be safe and smooth. After thinking about it, she decided to let Qin Sheng go. In addition, compared with Qin Zhao, Qin Sheng's identity represents a different meaning.

King Jin has already fallen to Fusang and occupied the land as a king, so she should take care of his feelings more.

"It's like this..."

Lu Songli roughly revealed a little about her plan to pit Dali.

The governor's plan made Guo Chong excited.

Although he only heard her general plan, Guo Chong was also a smart man in the world. A glimpse of the whole picture, he can already imagine that if the plan is implemented properly, after planning Zhuozhou, Pingzhou can consume Dali's national strength without bloodshed, reducing a lot of resistance for Pingzhou's subsequent expansion of territory.

This ability to take one step and see three steps ahead really makes him admire.

The governor stirred up the situation in Dali with his own strength, which is what a wise man of the time should be like.

"Mr. Guo, I wonder if you are willing to go to Fusang to handle this for me?"

"I am willing to go! For the governor's great cause, I will die without regrets!"

"Okay, you go and make preparations, and when General Qin Sheng gathers the people, you will set off."

Soon, Qin Sheng and Guo Chong led a team of navy south, and every ship they took was full of supplies.
