Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Just as Chu Mo was thinking about the key, a knight suddenly ran out of the military formation in the distance and rushed directly to the city gate.

The moment he saw Chu Mo, he shouted directly:

"My lord, is that you?"

Chu Mo's thoughts were interrupted by this voice. When he looked down, he saw that the person coming was none other than Zhang San, who had been following him.

After the two of them looked at each other across the city wall, Chu Mo finally said:

"Xiaosan, you arrived just in time. I was about to send someone to find you."

"I'm discussing something with my sister right now. I won't go out for the time being. You guys can help me keep watch outside. I'll come back to you when the matter is over."

"If things don't go smoothly, or if I don't come out after an hour, then you can just order the massacre of the city."

With that said, regardless of the pale faces of the soldiers around him, he waved to Zhang San and asked him to go back.

The guard was originally angry about Chu Mo's sudden snatching of the gun, but after hearing such a naked threat from the other party, he did not dare to say anything more and respectfully invited him back to the Governor's Mansion.

As soon as he returned to the house, Chu Mo saw Chu Xin walking towards him angrily.

Before she could speak, Chu Xin shouted angrily:

"Chu Mo, what do you mean? We haven't even reached an agreement yet, so why do you dare to say something about massacre?"

Chu Mo chuckled, not afraid of Chu Xin at all: "Sister, brother, I'm not afraid that our negotiations will drag on for too long and make the soldiers outside the city wait for a long time. I won't be able to explain to them then."

"Besides, our matters have basically been discussed, and there is only one last tremor left. Is it possible that you don't want me to continue at this last moment, or do you want to delay time?"

Hearing the words of tiger and wolf in Chu Mo's mouth, Chu Xin's face turned red with anger. She pointed at Chu Mo and cursed:

"You are also a brother. If you say such words in front of your sister, aren't you afraid of being stabbed in the spine?"

"Besides, we just had a rough discussion. We haven't even started talking about real cooperation yet. You set a time. Isn't this forcing me?"

Chu Mo rolled his eyes, looked at Chu Xin with disdain and said, "You have enough to put one foot in the coffin in your two lifetimes. How can you pretend to be innocent for me?"

"Besides, what's wrong with Brother Qing and Sister Qing making a joke? If you don't want to hear it, I'll just stop telling it in front of you in the future."

"You shameless person, do you know what you are talking about?"

Chu Xin was instantly furious, clenched her fists, and rushed to Chu Mo, ready to knock him to the ground with a punch.

Facing Chu Xin's threat, Chu Mo quickly took two steps back and quickly changed the subject:

"That was a slip of the tongue just now. You are my biological sister, not my biological sister. In order to express my apology, I decided to give you one more step."

Although she knew Chu Mo was teasing her, Chu Xin knew that now was not the time to settle accounts with him, so she resisted the urge to run away, stared at Chu Mo and said:

"If you don't give me a satisfactory explanation, then today next year, I will go to your grave."

Listening to the other party's murderous words, Chu Mo took a deep breath, and then pretended to be calm and said:

"When we talked just now, I found that you are not interested in my territory. If that is the case, then I will cooperate with you in another way."

"How about I give you ten pounds of sweet potatoes, and you share the trade route with me and help me develop this place together?"

"Of course, in addition to these ten kilograms of sweet potatoes, I will also set aside an area for your own use. My people will not enter without your permission."

"Haha, Chu Mo, do you think I'm a fool?"

"Don't talk about ten kilograms of sweet potatoes. Even if you come up with one hundred thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes, it won't be possible."

Chu Xin looked at Chu Mo with disgust.

Chu Mo laughed, looked at Chu Xin seriously and said:

"Are you sure you don't want these ten pounds of sweet potatoes?"

Chu Xin was stunned for a moment, and then she realized: "What you gave me were unprocessed sweet potatoes?"

When she was doing disaster relief in Chang'an, she knew that Chu Mo controlled various epoch-making food crops such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and pumpkins.

It was just that Chu Mo at that time, in order to prevent these crops from flowing out, specially had people process them into mature foods before using them.

I wanted to find out what was going on and steal his grain, but there was no way I could do it.

At this time, she also realized that the other party was preparing to take out the sweet potatoes in exchange for herself.

Thinking of the terrifying production capacity of sweet potatoes, Chu Xin was instantly tempted.

However, Chu Xin felt indescribably depressed when she thought that the trade route she had paid such a high price to acquire was only worth ten kilograms of sweet potatoes.

"No, ten pounds is too little. You have to come up with enough for us to raise seedlings next spring."

"No, just these ten pounds. If you don't want it, then I'll trade it with Li Shimin. As long as he knows the yield and usefulness of these sweet potatoes, I believe he won't be as stingy as you."

Chu Xin directly scoffed at Chu Mo's suggestion to cooperate with Li Shimin. If the other party really wanted to cooperate with Li Shimin, why would he have gone there so early?Why do you have to wait until you come to this place where birds don't poop before you think about it?

Taking a deep breath, Chu Xin looked at Chu Mo calmly and said without any disturbance:

"Ten pounds is definitely not enough. You are insulting me. Chu Mo, if you want to cooperate, then show your sincerity."

Chu Mo didn't expect that what he just said would come back to him.

He smiled bitterly and said:

"Sister, you don't know that this year due to the frost disaster, the geographical grain production has been reduced or even eliminated..."

Before Chu Mo finished speaking, Chu Xin asked with wide eyes:

"What does this have to do with you? Didn't you know the situation early in the morning and be fully prepared?"

Uh. . . .

Chu Mo was speechless for a moment. How could he continue?

Could it be that he let the crops stay in the ground even though he knew the frost disaster was coming?

Doesn't this mean that he is a fool?

It would be strange not to be laughed at.

After thinking about it, Chu Mo said with a playful smile:

"Sister, it's not because my brother is stingy. The main thing is that I didn't keep much of these sweet potatoes. I can give you ten kilograms. I'm doing my best. If I give you more, I'm worried that I won't have enough sweet potato seedlings next year. ah."

Hearing what Chu Mo said, Chu Xin knew that the other party was determined not to give in.

After thinking for a while, he said: "In that case, then give me another ten pounds of potatoes."

Chu Mo was stunned for a moment, and was about to refuse, but suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly:

"You can have potatoes if you want. However, if I give you potatoes, you must also give me the methods for making firecrackers and artillery."
