Ten thousand kilograms of corn were exchanged for all the food in Wushuang City.

No wonder people say that businessmen have eight hundred minds.

The five families that Sheng Jinbao contacted alone provided her with more than 100,000 tons of food and fodder.

Even this, it is obvious that it is not enough to cause these people serious injuries.

Thinking of the little bit of food she had worked so hard to get from the Sheng family, she couldn't help but sneer.

The emotions are still not there!

Facing the little ancestor's playful gaze, Sheng Jinbao felt a little embarrassed for once.

"Well, the other stores have more inventory..."

He only sold 20,000 kilograms, which was almost 80% of the inventory.

Sheng Jinbao said that he also gritted his teeth and got on the pirate ship.

He had inquired about it long before. This girl came from Anbei City and had close ties with the General's Mansion.

Don't look at his young age, but the fact that he brought people to Wushuang City twice to raise food shows that he is trustworthy and capable.

Now that they are collecting food and supplies on a large scale, it is easy to imagine what will happen.

The bold ones will be starved to death, and the timid ones will be starved to death.

It doesn't matter who sits in that position in this world, right?

If the person sitting in that position could still take care of himself.

What they do as businessmen is just gambling!

Needless to say, what this girl gave was really tempting.

At the beginning of the year, he sent people to the south to look for the so-called new grain with a yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu, but the people there were watching closely and they found nothing.

I never thought that this thing would be right in front of me now.

Yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu!

Sheng Jinbao's eyes were shining.

Now that she had the food, Zhou Lingling didn't care about the other party's little tricks.

Corn is not suitable for cultivation in the northern border at present, but it is more suitable in Wushuang City.

"Uncle Jinbao, please don't forget what you promised me. If you can benefit the people, that will be a good deed."

Sheng Jinbao nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, niece! I have already signed a contract with the heads of those families. When the corn is harvested, I will definitely not sell it at a high price. Ill-gotten gains are not acceptable."

Zhou Lingling nodded and didn't say anything. Even if you don't act according to the agreement, she has her own way to make them lose everything overnight.

"I've already told you how to plant the crops. So, Uncle Jinbao will count all the food tonight and gather it in one place. We'll have someone transport it away."

I am just a humble person, but it is her.

Sheng Jinbao went down to make arrangements.

at night,

Without disturbing anyone else, Zhou Lingling went to the courtyard where the grain was stored, waved her sleeves, and packed up all the grain and took it away.

This time, she doesn't need to add any more subsidies.

Zhou Lingling thought about it and left behind another batch of potatoes and a book called "Potato Planting Methods" compiled and distributed to various villages in Anbei City by her second cousin.

The next day, Zhou Lingling and Tang Bin went shopping in the city and then left the city through the city gate.

Wushuang City is close to the northern border and has always been a transit point for trade between the north and the south.

However, a few days ago, the garrison of Wushuang City received an order from above to "take full control" of the food and medicinal materials in Wushuang City and prevent them from flowing out.

This person is not anyone's subordinate. He is a half-loyal minister and has some cleverness.

In the past, the imperial court had an ambiguous attitude towards Beijiang, but he was a prince after all, so Beijiang had been purchasing grain and shopping from Wushuang City, and he just turned a blind eye.

But now the wind direction has changed a little.

Especially since the Northern Frontier King was brought back to Beijing a few days ago...

The garrison commander of Wushuang City ordered the merchants in the city not to sell more than half a pound of grain to the same person every day. At the same time, he began to "manage" the food in the city, ordering the soldiers to guard the city gates and try to prevent a single grain of grain from leaving Wushuang City.

But who among these merchants is stupid?

What you tell the government to register and what you keep for yourself must be two different accounts.

Despite the strict inspection by the soldiers guarding the gate, Zhou Lingling followed Tang Bin out of the city in such a brazen manner.

When they found Tie Yuan and the others who had been waiting outside for several days, they were greeted with a wave of concerned inquiries.

"I'm glad you came out safely. What took you so long?"

"What's the situation in the city now? We can't gather enough food and fodder. Let's go back and ask the military advisor..."

Tie Yuan and Luo Feng stood in front and behind, looking at Zhou Lingling with concern.

If this wasn't a little girl, the two of them would have to check her out.

This trip would take four or five days. If they hadn't asked someone to send a message to report their safety, they would have found a way to get in.

Not being able to raise food is a small matter, but the little girl (Miss Zhou) must not get into trouble.

Those who followed were all acquaintances, and they all had the same idea.

Facing everyone's concern, Zhou Lingling felt relieved:

"Don't worry, uncle. With me here, is there anything I can't handle?"

Luo Feng's face lit up with joy: "So, Miss Zhou has managed to gather some food supplies?"

Zhou Lingling raised her chin and said, "Really? Send someone over to transport the food overnight."

When they came, they brought 200 people with them, but they were stationed dozens of miles away from Wushuang City.

Luo Feng received the order, turned around and found a place to place the signal flare.

Then he came over and asked her, "Miss Zhou, what about the food?"

Zhou Lingling: "The Sheng family left the food in the woods twenty miles away. I'll go check it out first, and you guys can follow."

Tang Bin moved, but Tie Yuan spoke first:

"I'll go with you. Tang Bin has worked hard these past few days. Stay with Luo Feng and the others to clean up the traces before we set off again."

"Yes, Captain."

Tie Yuan is now the captain of the Zhou family guard team, and Tang Bin is his half-apprentice. He immediately agreed when he heard this.

Zhou Lingling didn't say anything. She called Taxue and left the team with Tie Yuan.

It’s still that familiar forest.

But there is no so-called food here, and not a single person in sight.

Tie Yuan looked at the little girl.

Zhou Lingling gave him a mischievous smile: "Uncle Tie, let me show you a trick~"

In the empty forest, sacks as tall as a hill suddenly appeared.

This scene is familiar and profound.

"you……"

Tie Yuan shook his head helplessly, but looked around vigilantly.

"It's better to be cautious."

Zhou Lingling smiled: "Don't worry, uncle, there's no one around."

Fuguier is watching over her!

Tie Yuan finally felt relieved and couldn't help asking, "Girl, is your magical power... harmful to your health?"

He had lived for most of his life and had seen some Buddhas from the Western Regions display some extraordinary techniques, but he had never seen anyone with such ability.

Those are all practitioners. Ling girl is so young but she is more powerful than those Buddhas. I wonder if it will be harmful to herself.

Zhou Lingling felt warm in her heart and comforted him, "It's okay, Uncle Tie. I don't use it often."

On weekdays, I just farm there and use some spiritual spring water.

Tie Yuan nodded, shut up and stopped asking questions.

As long as it doesn't harm Ling Yatou.

In just a quarter of an hour, Luo Feng and the others arrived. Seeing so much food, everyone's eyes lit up.

……

Xiao Yan and his party left Anbei City and had a safe journey.

until the seventh day.

They actually encountered an assassin.

"Someone come! Protect the Third Prince!"

"Protect the Imperial Envoy!"

"Protect the prince!"

The three parties were in chaos.

The assassins also attacked each wave of people fairly.

The leader of the Yulin Army kicked a man in black to the ground and protected the carriage behind him.

He frowned and looked in the direction of the two princes.

The King of Northern Frontier had less than ten people following him, while the Third Prince had twice as many guards, but the former was able to protect the carriage tightly, while the latter was directly forced out of the carriage by the assassin.

Half of the Yulin Army was dispersed on the periphery, and the remaining half was guarding Lord Zhang's carriage beside him.

The leader frowned and shouted, "Send two teams to protect the Third Prince... and the King of Northern Frontier."

No matter whether His Majesty summoned the King of Northern Frontier back to the capital to punish him or for some other reason, since there is no imperial decree now, he is still the ninth prince and the King of Northern Frontier!

Among these people, if they still had a trace of conscience and courage, there was no one who did not admire the Ninth Prince who single-handedly reorganized the Northern Army and guarded the northern border for ten years.

There are a large number of assassins, and the Yulin Army and guards are no pushovers either.

Zhou Yun and others were good fighters who could fight ten enemies at once on the battlefield, and Xiao Yan even took action himself.

Therefore, half an hour later, the few remaining assassins retreated.

Among the three, Lord Zhang was protected and never got off the carriage from beginning to end. None of the assassins were a match for Xiao Yan. Only the third prince, who was forced to get off the carriage, was injured.

He was furious. "What are you standing there for? Go after them! Are you just going to let them get away like this?"

"They are so audacious to try to assassinate me! If I catch them, I will definitely skin them alive and tear out their tendons!"

"hiss"

"lighter!"

The third prince's eyes were filled with anger.

God knows how happy he was when he saw the assassin. He thought it was someone arranged by his uncle.

As a result, these people killed him indiscriminately!

Damn it, who got it?

They actually sent someone before him!

The sixth or the twelfth?

The leader of the Yulin Army came over and saw that the third prince had only been scratched on the arm.

It's just a minor injury.

But he could only kneel down and apologize: "I failed to protect you properly, please forgive me, Third Prince!"

Forgive me.

Of course the Third Prince could only forgive the crime.

This man and that Zhang guy are both my father's men, what can he do?

Wait!

Wait and see how this prince will deal with you later...

The Third Prince gritted his teeth and said, "Commander Lin, your words are too serious. If it weren't for you, I would be in danger."

"They dared to attack the prince in broad daylight. Commander Lin, upon returning to the capital, please report this to the Emperor and have him conduct a thorough investigation!"

Commander Lin naturally agreed and asked if the King of Northern Frontier was injured.

Then they reorganized the troops and buried the dead soldiers.

The remaining 160 or so Yulin soldiers continued to escort the imperial envoy and the two princes eastward to Shangjing...
