Chapter 22: Enveloping

Speaking of Feng Qingyuan, the reputation in various countries is actually half discredited. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There is no doubt that this is a big hooligan in the first place. is also a big country, unlike Song Hengyuan of the Lan Kingdom who pays attention to subduing people with virtue, and Yi Xunji of the Snow Country who pays attention to subduing people with martial arts, the big eagle is alive and well to suppress people with force! It's useless to talk about any big truths, whoever has a hard fist has the final say!

But to put it mildly, Feng Qingyuan is really not a reckless man. In addition to acting too violently and making people gnash their teeth secretly but unable to fight back, more often than not, he shows courage and resourcefulness, although his means are certainly not open.

In terms of statecraft strategy, Feng Qingyuan is still very good. In addition to the military attachΓ©, the civil officials of the Eagle Country are not fuel-efficient lamps, Feng Qingyuan firmly believes in the rejuvenation of the country through commerce, after he became the emperor, he carried out a vigorous reform, and the civil officials in the court made a set of comprehensive national policies, and made every effort to develop the relaxed business environment of the Eagle Country, especially welcome businessmen from other countries to come to the Eagle Country, and tax exemptions.

Merchants pursue profits, and if they pay less taxes, they will equal more profits, so that there are really many big businessmen from various countries who are willing to go to the Eagle Country to do business. As soon as they enter the Eagle Country, there will always be all kinds of opportunities and temptations waiting for these people, so that they are reluctant to leave, so don't they spend all their money in the Eagle Country?

In this regard, it is also the Lan country that suffers the most from the Eagle Country. As we all know, although Lan is not the most vast country, the land of Lan is the most suitable for reproduction, and most of the people of Lan are down-to-earth and hardworking, and Lan is the richest country in history. Putting aside the previous prosperity, even after a short period of civil war and internal friction, after the war stopped, hard-working people began to clean up their homes, coupled with the implementation of Song Hengyuan's new policy, the prosperity of green mountains and green waters, and the land of fish and rice has been restored a little. The people of Lan have a flexible mind, and after their needs for food and warmth are satisfied, they think about doing some business to improve their lives. Slowly, business began to rise again.

No, Feng Qingyuan has gained the upper hand in secretly snatching martial arts seedlings for many years, and seeing that the poor and white Lan Kingdom is slowly getting rich again, he began to sit still again, so he tried his best to grab the merchants of the Lan Kingdom again. His calculations are still very fine: the tax is low, it is nothing, if people don't come, they can't even collect this little tax! And once this reputation spreads, and there are more people attracted, won't it add up? No matter which country people come to the Eagle Country to do business, there will definitely be a lot of capital circulating in the Eagle Country, and it can drive other local industries, no matter how it is calculated, there are all benefits and no disadvantages!

But in terms of business, he is a little inferior to Song Hengyuan. Although Song Hengyuan's time of succession to the throne was about the same as him, unlike Song Hengyuan's single-minded pursuit of rejuvenating the country, he also took care of a lot of idle things during his period, and sent troops many times to attack some countries that dared to obey him, not to mention, he also drove to the personal expedition several times! Of course, Song Hengyuan's provocation was even more indispensable, but the latter rarely responded, and he had no excuse to send troops to attack a behemoth like Lan Guo for no reason. It's not a question of whether he can win, but if he fights with Lan Guo, the battle line will definitely be very long, and it will be bad if Snow Country raids his backyard when the fight is in full swing. For the time being, the Eagle Country still maintains the strength to suppress the Lan Country, but the Snow Country has always been eyeing the Eagle Country, and he can't afford to worry about it.

So, let's grab people "above board"!

Fortunately, unlike Song Hengyuan's brainlessness, he has many hands to prepare. In addition to a strong army and thriving business, he single-handedly built a tight intelligence network.

Intelligence is very important at all times. In wartime, you can steal enemy secrets and make yourself invincible. During the truce, it can also firmly occupy the high ground and monitor the movements of the other side as a basis for taking the next decision. Even at times like this, you can control the whereabouts of the people you want to know.

Song Chen and his entourage refused the royal palace arranged by Feng Qingyuan, and refused to be accompanied by Zhenyun, but it didn't matter, he still had a way to know their whereabouts. Just an hour after they moved into Lin Jin's house, someone had already reported the matter.

Attached, there is also information about the owner of the house.

Feng Qingyuan twisted the beard of his chin, and that confident smile appeared on his face again: "I can't think of it...... That little girl, since she is from Lin Ji? ”

The house without the name of the mansion belonged to a man named Lin Wu. And Lin Wu is the shopkeeper of Lin Ji Teahouse.

Lin Ji Teahouse is fine, it's just that the tea in the hall is better than other teahouses, even if it is the best tea that people are eager for, it is nothing in his eyes if he is not good at tea. But Lin Ji's signboard made him very impressed.

Feng Qingyuan finally understood why the little girl said that her family only had a house in Hayabusa City, where every inch of land was expensive, and why her tone was understated by the fact that she had eaten a bun for breakfast today.

Lin Ji is the most unusual business name in the Lan Kingdom in the past 20 years. Lin Kee's business involves a wide range of businesses, in addition to teahouses, there are also grain shops, cloth shops, and medicine halls...... The stores opened are not only all over the country, but also in the country of eagles in recent years. These shops are all in the name of the shopkeeper in the store, but it is certain that there is an owner behind them, but no one can find out who the owner behind Lin Ji is.

And now, it's finally a little bit of an eyebrow.

Su Miao's side asked Qin Ba to find someone to lead the way to the teahouse early in the morning, Qin Ba instantly remembered the "great achievements" of this little ancestor a few years ago, although this time she was able to find the house directly by herself and almost broke his jaw, but this kind of thing is better to be cautious. In the end, Qin Ba decided that he would personally lead them there.

The group was too eye-catching, especially the two identical white horses and a mighty white lion accompanying them. The people of the Eagle Country are fierce, but that is relative to the people of other countries, and for a beast like a lion, it is still very scary to walk directly on the street. As soon as Su Miao and the others appeared, Xiaobai, who ran in front of them to open the way, attracted pedestrians to dodge one after another, and some of the timid even screamed. Su Miao felt that it was still a bit inappropriate to be so swaggering, so she called back Xiaobai, who rarely went down the mountain and was so curious to smell here and there, that she was accompanied by Xiaobai, and that she might have to consider going out by carriage in the future.

Fortunately, after Xiao Bai was taught a lesson by Su Miao, he restrained a lot, and no longer flirted with this and that on the street, plus Qin Ba led the way, and walked towards the small road with few people, its speed was fast, and the people who had seen it only felt that with Su Miao's horse running by, there was a white shadow flashing immediately, and before he could see clearly, Xiao Bai had already run away without a trace.

Lin Ji Teahouse is in the southeast of the city, and the distance is not very far, but because of Xiaobai, they did not take the main road, but went around the small road, and it took half an hour.

Qin Ba brought people over, and after a few words of advice from Lin Wu, he went back. Lin Wu personally took people to the private room on the second floor, and gave Su Miao and them a top-notch hairy tip before retreating.

The private room is decorated with bamboo, the wall is pasted with green semi-circular bamboo, bamboo table, bamboo stool, it looks very elegant, and there is an ink painting of bamboo hanging on the wall of the opposite side. It was the first time for Song Chen to come to Lin Ji's industry, and he was amazed while looking at it: "Master Lin's taste is really extraordinary!" ”

Su Miao smiled happily: "It's my idea to decorate the room like this!" ”

"Really?" Song Chen looked at Su Miao with bright eyes, "Miaomiao, you are too powerful!" ”

Cui Ping and Cui An didn't have much research on this aspect, so they only touched their stomachs and shouted that they were hungry: "Sister Su Miao, what's delicious in this teahouse?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Er sent dim sum in, white jade shrimp dumplings with red shrimp in the white and chubby almost transparent skin, emerald green wormwood rice cakes, white glutinous osmanthus cakes, and burnt radish cakes......

Song Chen sandwiched a shrimp dumpling for Su Miao, Su Miao took a bite, and was a little stunned: "This shrimp tastes very different from the taste you eat in Dalan...... The shrimp in Languo is sweeter, and the shrimp meat is harder, but chewier......"

"Yes." Xiao Er, who came to add tea, explained diligently, "The store here in Hayabusa City uses North Sea shrimp from the Eagle Country. The North Sea is cold all year round, and the shrimp need to swim more often to survive, and they grow slowly, so the meat is not hard and chewy......

Su Miao nodded straight after eating, and Song Chen's eyes lit up: "Let's go back and let people buy some of this shrimp and cook it for the cook himself?" "Miao Miao's favorite is boiled shrimp!

One of the two Ping'an brothers loves sweetness, and the other loves to eat fragrant, so one holds the osmanthus cake and the other holds the radish cake and eats it so satisfied.

After breakfast, Su Miao was about to do serious business, and was let into the inner room of the teahouse study by Lin Wu, and began to listen to Lin Wu's report seriously while reading the account book.

The Ping'an brothers sat for a while, but they still couldn't sit still, and asked Song Chen if he wanted to go out for a walk, Song Chen shook his head and decided to stay here to guard Su Miao and let them join in the fun. Xiaobai also stayed quietly with Song Chen outside, staring at him with big eyes.

Fortunately, Su Miao was very efficient, and he turned over all the account books of the past six months in half an hour. Lin Wu is a capable person, otherwise he would not have been sent to a wolf's den like Falcon City, with his handling skills, there is no big problem that Su Miao needs to help solve, but Su Miao felt curious after eating the shrimp of the Eagle Country, and asked some questions about the seafood here in the Eagle Country.

More than half an hour later, Su Miao carried the money bag that Lin Wu had already prepared with a thick stack of silver tickets for the profits of Lin Ji Teahouse for half a year, and went out with Song Chen and Xiaobai leisurely, and continued to their next stop.

I didn't care at all about the two little tails that had been following them since I saw Feng Qingyuan yesterday.
