Chapter 5 Planning
After learning that the city's food and grass were about to be exhausted, Meng Luo decided to adopt the strategy of not attacking, and sent spies from many parties to mingle into the city to lobby and indulge in rebellion, spread rumors, hoping that the rebels in the city would collapse without fighting.
This trick was indeed effective. Without Qin Feng's appearance, Zhao Yuanjin's demise would be a foregone conclusion.
Qin Feng pondered: "Is this Meng Luo very difficult to deal with?"
Zhao Yuanjin and Sun Xiangqing nodded at the same time, more than just being difficult to deal with? Meng Luo is one of the few generals in the court who is proficient in military affairs and can fight tough battles. If he hadn't faced him, Zhao Yuanjin wouldn't have been so embarrassed.
Qin Feng sighed in his heart. If he could have traveled over earlier than the day, Zhao Yuanjin would have room to circulate and move at that time, and the situation might have been completely different. However, facing the current situation of siege, it is really hard to imagine a feasible response.
An isolated city cannot be kept for a long time, and it will be lost if you keep it for a long time. Anyone with a little military knowledge understands this truth. Since Meng Luo outside the city is a famous general with a normal mind, he will not be able to make low-level mistakes, and he will not be able to withdraw his troops by himself.
If he changed his mind now and ordered his all-out attack on the city regardless of casualties, he might be able to take down the lonely city in one or two days at most.
"I wonder if there are dead soldiers with high martial arts skills in my army?" Qin Feng asked.
Zhao Yuanjin replied: "Are there a few sirs who want them to assassinate? This may not be feasible. Meng Luo is very careful and our people cannot get close to the camp of the imperial army."
Qin Feng was stunned for a moment and found that he had thought things too simple. The so-called martial arts masters seemed powerful, but their role in thousands of troops was actually quite limited. No matter how powerful the master was, they were just flesh and blood, and were shot densely by hundreds of hard bows and crossbows, and they still had to kneel down. Unless they were the kind of cultivator who was said to be the great power of heaven and earth, they could ignore the siege of the world.
"Since that's the case, I need an adult to try to hold on for a few more days and prepare the right means when I go back." Qin Feng said after thinking for a moment.
Su Mu and Zhao Yuanjin looked at each other and said, "As long as there is a gentleman helping to continue providing food and grass, it is certainly no problem to hold on for a few days. However, in the city, the court's detailed secret spies will sooner or later spread the news. If Meng Luo suddenly sends troops to attack, I'm afraid..."
"I will definitely come back in two days at most." Qin Feng promised.
Zhao Yuanjin breathed a sigh of relief: "We can still wait for two days, so I'll have a hard time."
He clapped his hands, and two burly guards walked in with a brass-covered golden nanmu box, placed it in front of Qin Feng, saluted and retreated.
Su Mu came over to open the box cover, and a dazzling golden light suddenly surged out. It was filled with gold bars about a foot long and about three centimeters thick, filled with boxes.
"These gold is an agreed remuneration, please accept it."
Su Mu said: "But there is not much gold left in the army. Why not use silver for future transactions? They are all official silver cast in the imperial court, and the quality is guaranteed. According to the exchange ratio of one to ten, the gentleman will not suffer any losses."
In today's world, most of the money circulated by the people is silver and copper coins, so Zhao Yuanjin's treasury is also mainly silver. Although there is some gold, the amount of storage is far inferior to silver.
Qin Feng laughed and said, "There are always big families or money shops in the city. Can you find them to exchange for gold? In our world, silver is not very valuable, so I really can't use this."
"Okay, just as sir wished." Zhao Yuanjin nodded.
There are more than 200,000 taels of silver in my own treasury, and it is also a lot of exchanged into gold. We should be able to survive this difficult period. As long as we can make a comeback in the future, it will not be difficult to accumulate money.
Qin Feng looked at him, his heart suddenly moved and said, "Let's do this, I have a better proposal. In the future, I can exchange silver and the governor for gold. Is the ratio...just 15 to 15! What do you think?"
Zhao Yuanjin's face suddenly changed, and then there was a clear joy and he agreed quickly. Qin Feng's move was to give him benefits in disguise. After all, the gold and silver exchange market outside was one to ten. As long as he repays Qin Feng's corresponding amount of gold, the extra part would be his own income.
The more gold you exchange, the more benefits you get, which means you have more financial resources to recruit soldiers and expand your strength in the future.
"However, I hope to obtain the documents of the adults to guarantee that they have the right to do business freely on their territory in the future, and can form a guard team and provide sufficient preferential care in terms of taxation. How about it?" Qin Feng continued.
Although they all get what they need, he doesn't want the other party to get too much advantage. After all, Zhao Yuanjin now wants more things to do.
Zhao Yuanjin thought for a moment and agreed happily: "Zhao agreed to this matter, so he made an oath with the sir."
To be honest, it is a bit too early to discuss this matter now. Under normal circumstances, at least it will be meaningful to discuss this after Zhao Yuanjin has a large enough territory and become king. Of course, it is nothing to settle now.
When everything was done, Zhao Yuanjin asked inadvertently: "Is that maid not bad?"
"Yeah, it's okay." Qin Feng replied casually.
Sun Xiangqing smiled and said, "It's good if you're satisfied. This is what the lord specifically looks for for you. She is a lady from a wealthy family in the city. She is talented and knowledgeable, polite, and she looks good, and she is a perfect person. Let her serve her in the future!"
“…”
Qin Feng was speechless. Zhao Yuanjin really spent some time to please him. After all, such a wealthy lady with status was not ordinary slaves and maids, and could buy it at will with some money. In order to convince the family behind her to agree, the governor must have given considerable benefits.
After talking for a while, Qin Feng hurriedly said goodbye.
As the light and darkness alternate, the scene in front of you becomes the interior of the warehouse again, and the noon sunlight transmits in from the skylight.
“…This is not easy to deal with.”
Thinking of the tens of thousands of imperial troops outside the county town, Qin Feng frowned and thought. In fact, the easiest and easy solution is to try to kill the commander-in-chief named Meng Luo. As long as he dies, the crisis of siege will probably no longer exist.
If you can have a gun in your hand, you can seize the opportunity to send a shuttle to that guy and the problem will be solved.
But China is a country that explicitly prohibits guns. Its domestic laws are strict and the supervision is tight. Where can I use such a killing weapon if I am a powerless and powerless ordinary citizen?
After thinking for a while, Qin Feng made up his mind and drove back to the city.
After returning to the rental house to change his clothes, he clicked on the address book on his mobile phone and selected a number to dial.
A few seconds later, a familiar and cheerful voice came from the phone: "Fengzi, where have you been wandering these two days?"
"Haozi, are you free today? I'll treat you to lunch."
Qin Feng said with a smile that this was Yu Hao, his roommate in the dormitory, and one of the few hardcore confidants in the school.
"Eat? Then should I call Brother Qi and the others together?" Yu Hao asked.
"No, I'm a little private, I want to talk to you alone." Qin Feng said.
"Okay then." Yu Hao hesitated for a moment and agreed.
Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, opened the map and searched, selected a nearby hotel with a pretty good grade, sent the address to Yu Hao, and then went out to go downstairs.
It was dinner time and there were many customers in the store. He asked a few questions in front of the bar. When he learned that there was a room empty, he quickly settled down.
After sitting for a while, a strong boy wearing a red T-shirt with a slightly dark complexion walked in from outside with a cheerful and easy-going smile on his face.
"Fengzi, why did you suddenly remember to treat me today?" He came over and patted Qin Feng's shoulder heavily, and asked happily.
"Let's order the dishes first, let's talk slowly later." Qin Feng smiled and handed him the menu.
Steamed fish in a stone pot, stir-fried waist flowers, stewed local chicken in yam, braised pork ribs, vermicelli mushroom soup, plus a scoop of beer, the two brothers talked while eating.
As graduation approaches, the school has few courses, and it is basically mainly internships. Therefore, students in the same department are busy submitting resumes and applying for jobs, hoping to find an ideal job and stay in this bustling metropolis in the future.
However, with the current current talent market in China, if you want high salary, you can’t get a mere undergraduate degree. Therefore, many students have decided to take the postgraduate entrance examination and continue to study hard for their future for a few years.
"Fengzi, are you planning to go to graduate school? Or do you need to find a job first?"
After taking a sip of beer, Yu Hao asked, "I may be able to find you an errand, but the salary is not high, I wonder if you can see it."
He is a native of Binhai, his family is in pretty good condition and has some connections, so he said so.
"I have considered the work matters."
Qin Feng hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard that you have a cousin who is a traitor. Can you introduce me to me?"
Yu Hao was slightly stunned and looked serious: "Are you in trouble? Is that bastard Liu Yunqing? Did he refuse to stop after the last incident..."
"No, I want to buy something." Qin Feng said.
“…”
Yu Hao's expression changed slightly, and he looked at him calmly for a while: "Fengzi, some businesses are not something that people like us can do, so don't be confused. If there are any difficulties, I can find a way for you."
"Where did you think of? I just want to go abroad to try my luck in the Middle East, so I just want to get a handy guy to defend myself." Qin Feng explained helplessly.
He tried to persuade him for a long time, but Yu Hao still had the expression of "I believe in you and I'm stupid", but he finally gave him his cousin's contact number.
Qin Feng dialed his phone, and the other party was silent for a while after learning about his intentions, and then hung up after hanging up a new number.
Where there is sunshine, there are shadows. Even if there is a bustling and noisy city, there are always some dark corners. As long as there are connections and connections, it is not difficult to buy some prohibited things.
Next, Qin Feng made several calls, and the other party gave him a new number and hung up directly, without saying a word. Finally, a feminine voice with a man and a woman who couldn't tell the difference between the place name and time, asking him to bring enough cash to get the connection, which is out of date.
"...I'm really careful." Qin Feng thought helplessly.
The transaction location is far south, adjacent to the border area of Baiyue. It seems that the other party is indeed cautious enough to avoid trouble. After all, the mainland is too strict to investigate this thing, and only some mixed areas near the border are easier to operate. Moreover, customers like him who suddenly come to him will not have much trust.
