I, the patron saint of the frontier of the Tang Dynasty, was forced to rebel

Chapter 54 Behind the Prosperity, Darkness Accompanies
Qin Mu looked at the Western Region businessman in front of him, looking very urgent.

"Are they still staying in the Datang sea area?"

"No, I left a month ago."

The merchant from the Western Regions said: "I don't know that this thing is useful, otherwise I would have bought it at a high price and dedicated it to the virtuous king."

Hearing this, Qin Mu sneered in his heart.

Dedicated to yourself?

To put it nicely, this kind of mercenary guy just wants to get more benefits here.

Still, this man is useful.

"I don't need you to dedicate it to me. From now on, whenever you come across something I said, buy it with a lot of money, and I will pay twice the price to buy it from you!"

"This virtuous king, are you kidding me?"

The merchants in the Western Regions couldn't believe it, they made a lot of money this time around!
Silver taels are nothing to Qin Mu, and the crops in front of him are hard to find.

Besides, I don't have the ability to go to sea at all now.

Thinking about the great voyage, can't help but make people excited!

In this era, although the people of Tang Dynasty were mainly farming, they did not know how to improve and research crops.

As for those who are knowledgeable, they don't go back to the field at all.

If you want to improve people's livelihood, the most important thing is to feed the world so that you can have more opportunities.

"You have no jokes!"

"Okay, the virtuous king is righteous, I will definitely do my best."

It is May, which is also the planting season for potatoes.

Qin Mu immediately arranged for people to take good care of the seeds, hoping to harvest the first batch of potatoes in a month or two.

Said to be a batch, it is estimated that there are only a few!

There is only one seed, no way.
Lingzhou City at night is comparable to Chang'an in the prosperous period, or even surpassed.

However, under the darkness of night, danger also accompanies it.

Kobayashi Butcher Shop!

This is a small-looking shop that specializes in selling meat.

As for the meat, most people can't tell the difference, but there is another world in the backyard.

"Peacock meat, the starting price is 50 taels, and the price should not be lower than [-] taels at a time. The higher the price, the better!"

"30 taels!"

"70 taels, no matter who raises the price, I will be 20 taels higher than him!"

The heroic shouts can be heard from the tone, these people are either rich or noble.

The shopkeeper of Xiaolin's butcher shop is not tall, but he has a fleshy body and a face full of flesh, which looks not easy to mess with.

He stood on the stage and pointed to a stunned peacock on the table.

"Is there anyone raising the price!"

In the arena, there was silence.
"Brother, someone is here!"

"Who's here? Make a fuss, hurry up and prepare the next one."

The shopkeeper, Xiao Lin, didn't care at all, but found that the subordinates next to him were terrified.

Suddenly, a picture appeared in my mind!
"Your Master Lin is here?"

The subordinate nodded, "It's in the house."

"Cao, why didn't you say it earlier!"

"Everyone, today's auction is over, and a nobleman has come to the house."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Lin hurried into the room, looked at the man in front of him with his back on his back, and knelt down on the ground.

"Master Lin, I have a small business, so please hold me high!"

"Hmph! Small business?"

Lin Quan turned around, his gaze was cold, "Do you know why I'm looking for you?"

"I know that the number of eyeliners in small private shops in Chang'an has increased to more than 300."

"The progress is a bit slow!"

Xiao Lin raised his head suddenly: "My lord, the imperial court is currently investigating very strictly. A group of people died just a few days ago, and more than 100 people were replaced due to relationship disputes, and the expenses are also tight."

"270 million taels of silver, gone so soon?" Lin Quan frowned.

This Xiao Lin is the chief eyeliner he arranged in Guan Nei Dao, except for him and King Xian, no one knows about it.

Guannei Road is a key area of ​​the imperial court, and the cost is also high, but I didn't expect to spend nearly 700 million in three months!

Kobayashi replied respectfully: "My lord, there are currently more than 1000 people on the register, and that's not counting the eunuchs who were sent to the palace. The fees for going up and down, etc. have already reached 2000 million taels of silver."

"What!" Lin Quan exclaimed, "You"

As soon as he uttered a word, he was stunned: "So, you engaged in the sale of these precious animals?"

"Yes, if it weren't for these businesses, it would not be able to support the operation at all. In the past two days, the imperial court replaced the prince, and secretly dealt with more than 100 people. Among them, there are more than [-] of us. Because of panic, many people don't pay high prices. Dare to continue to stay in Chang'an."

"In addition, King Xian's side is short of funds, so the brothers can only start a business to raise some money, which happens to be a way to hide their identities!"

Kobayashi explained.

Hearing this, Lin Quan couldn't say anything, after all, the facts were right in front of his eyes.

"Get up, I know you are in trouble, but the cost of the army is too high, there is no way."

"My subordinate understands."

"Give me the ten-day report."

Xiao Lin took out a cowhide bag from his body, and there were dozens of papers in it.

"Okay, you pay attention to concealment. The situation has changed a lot recently, so let your subordinates not be too high-profile."

"Yes, but." Xiao Lin frowned: "Puzhou Inspector, there is some news but I can't be sure."

"Tell me?" Lin Quan didn't care too much about Yang Fu.

"Two days ago, someone saw him appearing in the Fireworks and Willow Lane in Chang'an. Our people followed, and at night his body appeared in the river!" Xiao Lin said.

Lin Quan paused, his face serious: "Why don't you just kill him?"

"That's what I'm wondering about. I haven't found out about the eyeliner yet. According to yesterday's news, Yang Fu had contact with the subordinates of the current crown prince, Li Tai."

"So, he took refuge in the crown prince?"

"This is absolutely certain!"

Lin Quan's eyes showed killing intent: "Arrange people and deal with it secretly. If there is no way to catch the alive, kill them directly!"

"Yes!"

The next day, Lingzhou Palace.

Qin Mu was woken up early in the morning, but he couldn't get angry.

Because, this is what the system does!
[Time-limited task announcement: Within seven days, resist the imperial court's army, and rewards will be settled according to the degree of completion! 】

Resist the imperial army?

Isn't this sending points and rewards?
In an instant, he regained his energy, because Yang Fu missed the task of capturing Puzhou, which made it impossible to complete the task.

It's been almost a week, and I haven't seen a task.

Now, it's finally here.
Really sleepy to send a pillow ah!

He knows better than anyone what the royal army is.

Even if the forbidden army comes here, it can still be defeated.

What's more, Li Shimin is bedridden now, and his fourth son, Li Tai, is in power, so maybe he is being manipulated behind the scenes.

How could the forbidden army be discharged?
Qin Mu sneered in his heart, I am afraid that the person who came this time would be an acquaintance!

However, since the system has released the task, it still needs to be paid more attention to.

After all, those who settle rewards based on the degree of completion are in urgent need of points.

On the training ground, tigers howled everywhere.

The trained soldiers are like wolves, just waiting to go out and hunt!
