When they got closer, the leader of the convoy jumped off his horse, came to the rich man, and gave him a sideways glance. With just one glance, the rich man felt as if he was being targeted by a wolf, and he no longer dared to speak.
"Except Mr. Tao, are all the goods ready?"
"Ready, this is the first batch, we are preparing the second and third batches."
"Okay." The leader of the convoy looked behind him, and his men understood the situation and walked towards the carriages carrying goods.
After a while, the subordinate reported back: "Boss, there are a total of 200 kilograms of coarse salt and twenty shi of grain. No problem."
"Okay, give me the money."
The leader of the team looked at the rich man: "Shopkeeper Tao is indeed a trustworthy person, and we are not stingy. We will charge you double the market price for your things. This is 500 gold, and an additional 100 gold will be added as a deposit for the second batch. A total of
600 gold, keep it."
"Hey, okay, thank you." Tao Yuanwai looked around and said, "Boss Mo, you have to be careful when you go back. This is a head-turning business. If, if, you are caught, don't worry.
..”
"Don't worry, if you are caught, no one will help you come out."
Leader Mo interrupted Tao Yuanwai's words and patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Tao Yuanwai, I hope to collect the second and third batches of grain as soon as possible. The benefits are indispensable to you. After completing this transaction, the fourth and fifth batches will
You can come again, we are not short of money."
After saying that, Leader Mo took his men and escorted the grain away.
"Yes, yes!" Tao Yuanwai nodded and watched them leave. After seeing them go away, he felt relieved.
This group of people put too much pressure on him, and they refused to disclose their origins. If it weren't for the price they offered that was irresistible, he would not have dared to sell the grain.
Commander Mo looked at the Tao member in the distance, smiled gloomily, and called a subordinate: "Zhuang Juming, have you clearly remembered all the accounts between you and that Tao person?"
"Boss, don't worry, I will remember every stroke clearly."
"That's good. We have strict orders from above. These accounts must be recorded clearly. If we have the handle, these people can be used by us in the future. They will do whatever we ask them to do."
"Okay, it's really cool that there's someone coming up from above."
"Shut up, no one is big or small, no distinction is made between superior and inferior, be careful not to lose your head."
"Yes, yes, sir, tell me, for our meritorious service this time, can we be promoted to a one-star military rank?"
"It's definitely not possible with this one. It's possible with a few more. A little will add up to a lot."
After finishing speaking, he looked at his subordinates: "To say that the fastest way to rise to military rank is through fighting."
"Then when will we fight?"
"You ask me, who should I ask?" Commander Mo glared at his subordinates: "This matter is not something we can decide. We just have to wait. There will always be a chance for us to go to the battlefield."
This leader Mo is none other than Bai Zhan's subordinate Mo Zhuangbi.
After receiving Li Feng's order, Bai Zhan and Su Du divided the areas they were responsible for.
Bai Zhan was in charge of the Linjiang area, Han Xin was in charge of the Western Wei area, Shangguan Yin was in charge of the Henan area, and Su Du was in charge of the Zhao area, and was also responsible for the overall allocation and statistical work.
For a time, several of their confidants were moving around. People like "Commander Mo," "Commander Hao," "Commander Yang," and "Commander Teng" appeared out of thin air, setting off a craze for smuggling grain and grass.
And these things, the princes and kings don't know, because compared with other things, these are small things.
Recently, civil strife broke out in Jiaodong and Jibei. The former Qi kings Tian Niu and Tian Hu raised their flags to restore the state. They recruited troops from nowhere and their combat effectiveness was very strong.
Moreover, a powerful firearm was used, like a magic weapon descending from the sky. Soon, these two waves of people successively attacked the Jiaodong Kingdom and the Jibei King's Palace.
The kings of the two countries were originally Xiang Yu's generals, but within a few days of the king's comfortable life, he encountered a disaster. When he was about to die, he was brave enough to lead the remaining soldiers to fight to the death in the palace, and he was cut into pieces with random swords and died.
Subsequently, Tian Niu and Tian Hu ascended to the throne in response to the orders of the people. However, just a few days later, they canceled their royal titles, demoted themselves to dukes, and led the army and people of the country to surrender to King Liu Bang of Qi.
King Renyi of Qi did not commit any crimes in Qiu after entering the city, and received enthusiastic support from the soldiers and civilians of Jibei and Jiaodong.
At this point, Qi was unified again.
However, there were many doubts about this matter, which made various princes and kings doubt Liu Bang's behavior.
For example, where did Tian Niu and Tian Hu come from? The Tian royal family is basically dead. I have never heard of a number one figure. How could they summon such a powerful army to seize power as soon as they emerged?
After seizing the throne, wouldn't it be nice to sit on your own and surrender to Liu Bang?
Some interested people found out that the military officers who helped them seize power were actually Guan Ying, Zhou Bo and others serving as chief military officers.
A long-planned conspiracy emerged.
If people don't know what to do except for themselves, everyone also starts to stay away from Liu Bang, a benevolent and righteous gentleman, and calls him a despicable villain, a hypocrite, and a cruel person.
When Li Feng saw the secret report, he wanted to laugh a little.
This is the disadvantage of the enfeoffment system. China was originally one, but once it was enfeoffed, each vassal state guarded its own three-acre land and took the division as a matter of course.
There were one or two monarchs who wanted to rule the world, but instead they became a different kind, out of step with the times, and the targets of criticism. After all, no one wanted to succumb to others when they had the strength.
To be honest, Li Feng himself agreed with Liu Bang's methods and ideas. He was much smarter than that idiot Xiang Yu. No wonder he succeeded in the end.
But now that he is here, the one who unifies the world must be himself, Da Qin.
"Come here! Summon Wang Chong and Zan Bu panic into the palace to discuss matters."
After a while, the two people came to see the driver. After some salutes, Li Feng was not polite: "Have you heard about Liu Bang's annexation of Jibei Kingdom and Jiaodong Kingdom?"
"Back to Your Majesty, I just heard about it."
"Then what are you going to do?"
"This... His Majesty is going to take the opportunity to attack them." Wang Chong was a little confused. Dogs bite dogs, so just let them bite. What else needs to be done by yourself, but it is not good not to answer, so he can only deal with it.
Li Feng shook his head and looked at Zan Buhu, who thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, do we want to add more firewood to make Liu Bang's ugly face worse and sow discord among the vassal states?"
"Look, he is indeed a man who has been working as a spy for the enemy for many years. He is very capable of benefiting himself at the expense of others."
Soon after, rumors among the princes and people revealed all the dark history of King Liu Bang of Qi, with mixed truth and falsehood, giving people a new understanding of this benevolent and righteous king.
When I was 7 years old, I peeped on Aunt Wang next door while she was taking a bath, and she was beaten until she lay at home for a month.
