System: I let you have children, not fight for hegemony

Mrs. Huayang didn't want to let Niu Buhui leave, but Niu Buhui had made up her mind, so Prince Zhu gave him a hundred gold as a gift.

It can be said that with [-] Qin soldiers, Niu Buhui is the well-deserved richest man!

On the way back, the army moved slowly, but many fish felt vaguely uneasy, as if someone was calling them to return quickly.

-

In Bashu County, the heat wave is rolling, and the villagers are busy preparing for the autumn harvest.

Because Bashu County has a lower latitude and higher temperatures than the Central Plains, the harvest time of ratoon rice is earlier than that in the Central Plains.

Hu Feizi and Han Fei sat together and looked at the information passed on by the Mohists.

"Nujun and Xin Liangcheng's 2 troops are trapped south of the Fen River."

Hu Feizi frowned. Everyone in the Chamber of Commerce was beaten in turn by the female monarch and himself, and they did not dare to make any move.

However, the military was unfavorable and the county captain's little thoughts could hardly be concealed.

Sure enough, the county captain invited Hu Feizi into the mansion for a chat.

Hu Feizi: "You stay at the Sheriff's Mansion. If anything happens to me, you will take up the important role!"

When Hu Feizi entered the mansion of the county captain, he saw that the roof had angled eaves, the corridor columns were round, and the hall was large enough for 34 people to sit down, and it was just a place for entertaining guests.

The setting sun hangs in the sky, farmers are still working in the fields, but the halls are already brightly lit.

Two rows of three-foot-tall bronze lamp stands were placed against the wall. They both showed a slave-shaped bronze figure kneeling on the ground, holding the lamp tray with both hands. There was animal anointing oil in the tray. The lamp wick burned quietly, emitting a faint light. Burnt smell.

These bronze lamp stands are uniform in shape, like rows of guards, adding a sense of solemnity.

Black lacquered wood tables are arranged in two rows.

Seeing this, Hu Feizi raised his eyebrows. He was not the only guest today?The county lieutenant did not make it clear when he invited him, which was very rude.

"Lord Lieutenant, who else wants to attend the banquet?"

The tall county lieutenant sat carelessly on the central seat, with his right leg straight and his left leg bent.

There were two beautiful maidservants beside him, gently tapping his legs.

The county lieutenant smiled and said: "I also invited many members of the Chamber of Commerce. Many fish are not here, and I, as an uncle, have to keep an eye on them to prevent the slaves from bullying the master."

As soon as the county lieutenant finished speaking, a group of people came in one after another to salute and take their seats.

The first people to come in were the local clan members. Some of them were wearing brocade clothes with wide sleeves, and some were wearing ordinary kudzu and hemp clothes.

Clan power is very powerful. On every sacrificial day, they gather together to worship their ancestors.

The second wave came from representatives of various departments of the chamber of commerce, including powerful families and small traders.

Obviously, no one knew that today's banquet was so grand. After looking at each other for a while, they all took their seats.

The last ones to arrive were several soldiers, all wearing light armor and hanging swords on their waists. They were sitting on their knees in a military posture. Each of them looked solemn and did not speak too much, which seemed incompatible with the lively atmosphere of the banquet.

Except for the soldiers, they were all acquaintances with each other. After a few simple greetings, the county captain let the banquet begin.

"Why did the county captain want to have a sudden banquet?"

"He is greedy for money and stingy. He can only get in but not get out. This time he spends a lot of money, and he must have a plan!"

"Nothing, Hu Feizi is in front, let's just close our eyes and eat!"

Servants and maids carrying lacquerware food boxes filed in. Small black lacquer plates and red lacquer bowls, filled with delicacies, were assigned to the tables.

The simple and bright red and black moiré wine cup is filled with amber wine.

Everyone exchanged glances again.

Bronze ware represents status, lacquer ware shows financial strength, and good lacquer ware is comparable to gold. "The sun is shining in the west today?"

"Iron roosters can also pluck their feathers?"

"If something is abnormal, there must be fraud!"

The county lieutenant didn't care about the absent-mindedness of everyone. In his eyes, they were just a group of ants, and only Hu Feizi was worthy of his gaze.

"Lacquerware is exquisite and valuable. I believe you have a lot of it in your home."

For people with insufficient social status, no matter how wealthy they are, they can only use lacquerware at home. This is what the county captain is saying.

Hu Feizi swung his wine glass and replied: "I can't compare with the wealth of the county captain."

The county lieutenant looked directly at Hu Feizi with sharp eyes: "But I feel that I am not rich enough."

When the people present heard this, their hearts trembled. Is the county lieutenant asking for a bribe?

However, the Chamber of Commerce has long had regulations. When a sum of money is approved, it must go through three departments and ten people, and accountability will be held at all levels.

Besides, didn’t the female queen give him a secret share?So greedy?
Hu Feiziyun smiled lightly: "Under the leadership of the female monarch, the Chamber of Commerce has a bright future. I believe that the county captain will get what he wants in the future."

The county lieutenant drank a glass of wine noncommittally, and then said maliciously: "I heard that many fish are trapped south of Fenhe River?"

what? !

Shocked!

Everyone turned to look at Hu Feizi: "Is what the county lieutenant said true?"

"The queen is surrounded?! What should we do?"

The core of the chamber of commerce system is many fishes, and she is the center that unites the chamber of commerce.

Without her, the Chamber of Commerce will once again become a mess, and everyone's early investment will be completely wasted.

Hu Feizi didn't show any trace of panic and said calmly: "Nujun has the strategy to win the battle thousands of miles away. This situation has been expected by Nujun."

People will be suspicious.

The county lieutenant showed no face at all: "It's just a little girl. It's her first time on the battlefield. How can she be so powerful?"

Hu Feizi retorted: "Nu Jun is not an ordinary person. She studied under the famous general Lian Po since she was a child, and followed Bai Qi, the Marquis of Wu'an when she was young. While others were playing in the mud, she was already familiar with the tactics of famous generals. Things that are not allowed for ordinary people. , doesn’t mean that women can’t do it!”

Oh, Hu Feizi is mocking the county captain!He also used Wu'an Hou Baiqi to suppress him!

The county lieutenant's face was dark. Although he secretly took refuge with Ying Hou Fan Ju, he still belonged to the military generals group and was one of Wu'an Hou's important subordinates.

"Hu Feizi, a man who knows the current affairs is a hero. Isn't my boat more reliable than many fish?"

The officer's words were almost obvious and quite straightforward.

If a powerful family is willing to become a captain of a county, there must be someone behind it.

Hu Feizi: "Behind the queen are the Marquis of Wu'an and Gong Zizheng. Commander, who is behind you?"

Hu Feizi sneered, if you are brave enough, just tell Yinghou Fanju!

! !
The people in the Chamber of Commerce were stunned by the big cake dropped from the sky, but they didn't expect Hu Feizi to admit it!

Marquis Wu'an, Gong Zizheng!Isn’t this background strong enough?
The representative of the Ba people said with a smile: "There is a god behind the goddess! The god will protect the goddess, win every battle, and return safely!"

The enraged county lieutenant banged his sword scabbard heavily on the lacquer table, startling everyone at the table.

He said coldly: "No matter how exquisite the lacquerware is, it cannot withstand being chopped by copper and iron swords. No matter how dazzling the wealth is, if it wants to survive for a long time, it must be in front of you and be respectful!"

Hu Feizi opened his eyes, and his momentum was as strong as his: "Jun Lieutenant, are you going to force yourself?!"
