Soon, Chen Tong entered the Xi Zheng Palace and saluted Li Chen.
"See His Royal Highness the Thousand Years Old Prince."
"Chen Tong is the deputy commander of the Dongchang Jinyi Guards. If you are looking for this object and need manpower and help, you can contact Chen Tong directly."
After speaking to Liu Sichun, Li Chen turned to Chen Tong and said, "This matter is of great importance. You and Jin Yiwei must cooperate fully."
Chen Tong clasped his fists and said: "I obey my orders!"
Sweet potatoes are easy to grow, have high yields, and can largely replace rice as the staple food. Especially in the current year of national famine caused by natural disasters, this stuff is more delicious than grass roots and bark.
Once popularized, half of the food problem that has plagued the Qin Empire for hundreds of years can be solved.
Originally, Li Chen just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect that Liu Sichun could really bring him a glimmer of hope.
A big stone fell to the ground in his heart, and Li Chen was in a good mood.
Seeing that Li Chen was in a good mood, Liu Sichun, who was extremely shrewd, simply beat the snake and followed the stick, and said: "Your Highness, we have encountered many difficulties regarding the salt transportation..."
Taking advantage of the prince's good mood and telling the bad news, he would be less responsible.
Liu Sichun, who thought so, had just finished speaking when he saw Li Chen's meaningful gaze falling on him.
It was as if all those thoughts had been seen through.
"You are quite smart. You have used all the shrewd calculations of a businessman and a philistine on me."
Li Chen chuckled and said, "Tell me, what's the difficulty? I'm really in a good mood. If it's really not your fault, I'll solve it for you."
Liu Sichun was overjoyed, and his eyes brightened.
"Some time ago, after receiving the franchise of salt transportation from His Highness, the daughter of the people led the Liu family to gather most of the manpower and property and went to Zhejiang and Fujian to open salt mines and salt wells. Thanks to His Highness's favor, the output was pretty good, but...
When we were planning to transport the salt to the Gyeonggi region for sale, something went wrong."
"The first batch of salt, totaling 6,000 kilograms, suddenly disappeared when it arrived in Xishan Province. We thought at first that we had lost contact due to floods, so we sent people to look for it and also contacted the Chief Secretary of Xishan Province and the
The local salt officer learned that the first batch of salt had actually been captured by the rebels. We hoped that the Chief Secretary could come forward and send troops to quell the rebels, but the Chief Secretary refused us on the grounds that there was a natural disaster and no extra troops were available.
,so......"
Liu Sichun didn't finish his words.
Because he saw Li Chen's livid face.
She didn't know what she said wrong, so she could only shut up immediately.
"Rebels? What rebels!?"
Li Chen stared closely at Liu Sichun, his voice as cold as ice, "Where did the rebels come from!?"
Liu Sichun was shocked and said: "Your Highness doesn't know? Because there are too many victims in Xishan Province, under the instigation of thoughtful people, a large number of rebels have formed, and the rebels have occupied the three counties of Taiyuan, Yangqu, and Xiangding, almost
Cut off all the main routes from Xishan Province into southern Zhili."
"The civilian daughter thought that His Highness had already received the news. After all, there is no reason for His Highness and the court not to know about such a big matter..."
After saying this, Liu Sichun himself realized that it was impossible for the imperial court to not know about such an important matter.
And if the court knows, it doesn't necessarily mean that the prince must know.
Liu Sichun's face turned pale when he realized that he had inadvertently been involved in the top political struggle in the Qin Empire, and his next words were unreasonable.
