On the outskirts of Bianliang, Tokyo, there is a long queue.

The Bianliang Royal Peony Garden is pulling out valuable flowers and plants, and Chen Shou specially ordered that if the people in the city want royal flowers and plants, they can spend some money to buy them.

Early in the morning, there was a long queue on the outskirts of the city, which was the flowers and plants of the Royal Peony Garden.

Most of the people in Bianliang are not short of money, and they are more emotional, especially those merchants.

Many people are too busy to come to the store, so they send children and the elderly to line up.

Chen Shou was at the foot of the garden, where a new weaving workshop was opened, specializing in the production of linen cloth for simple bandaging hemostatic medicine.

The looms inside are the latest looms in the Southern Tang Dynasty, which use water power and are very efficient.

Chen Shou thought in his heart, looking for an opportunity to hire some female workers, opening a precedent for hiring female workers, and fully mobilizing the manpower of his own territory.

If you really want to compete for hegemony in troubled times, you will fight for the population, and if you can make full use of the population, it will greatly increase your strength.

A spy from Jin Yuwei came in, looked left and right, and after seeing Chen Shou, he hurriedly stepped forward, hugged his fists and said:

"My lord, I have found it out, the thieves of the White Lotus Sect in Bianliang City have been swept away, but among the prisoners who don't want to be arrested, there was an incense master who couldn't stay up last night, and personally admitted that their sect leader had planted a chess piece in Bianliang again, and it was for you, my lord."

"For me?" Chen Shou said coldly: "What do you mean? Do they want my life? ”

The spy sneered: "The thief doesn't measure himself, I guess that's what it means." ”

"That's interesting..."Chen Shou's eyelids wiped and he thought about it carefully, since it was for himself, he would definitely want to set up hair and arrange people around him.

Fortunately, I didn't buy a big maid in my house? In fact, it is not difficult to check.

He nodded? Keep this matter in mind, and it is difficult to prevent house thieves day and night? Must you find out the spy quickly? Otherwise, a thousand days of thief prevention is not a long-term solution.

Suddenly, all the spinning wheels in the room turned? Zhang He asked in a loud voice outside, "My lord, is it okay?" ”

"Okay? Bring someone in right away and learn how to use it? It's simple and straightforward, and I know it myself. ”

After speaking, Chen Shou walked out of the newly built weaving workshop and strolled to the medicine field.

There are small basins on the ground? It's all seeds? Labeled with their respective names.

Chen Shou looked at them one by one, but he didn't know them, and when he looked up, Doctor Liu had already rushed over.

He easily did not leave his small pharmacy, and after being driven by Chen Shou to put the duck on the shelves, he was obviously a little unbearable.

Don't you say that your forehead is full of sweat? His lips were a little pale, and Chen Shou smiled and took out a burlap cloth from his sleeve? said: "For you, this is what I just spun by hand." ”

Doctor Liu picked it up? Raised overhead and looked in the sun? Nodding his head, he said, "Because the amount you want is large?" This linen is the best. ”

Chen Shou smiled: "How is it?" Out in the sun? Do you feel that your body is a lot more comfortable? ”

"This one is natural, although a little tired." Doctor Liu held his waist and said, "There are a lot of medicinal herbs, and it may take a few years before they can be collected." ”

"There's no hurry, I'll buy it first, the sooner I plant it, the sooner it can be used." Chen Shou secretly thought in his heart that this troubled world is estimated to last for a long time, and it may be so long that it may kill his own group of people.

Of course, it may end soon, and then someone has to be in the right place at the right time, and there will be enough luck.

In any case, be prepared...

In the troubled times, there are many heroes who will show their ambition and ability, but more of them are actually bastards.

These people, either the original local heroes, or the old ministers of the Great Qi, look at the momentum one by one, in fact, they want to see but not see, they want to be ambitious or not, they are just born in response to the chaos, at best, they are a soil emperor, and they can't really achieve hegemony at all.

Big waves and sand, like such mediocre fools, may be in the limelight for a while, such as Zhao Zhe, Wei Yunse, Liang Zhongqiu and others, but as the situation progresses, they will soon be eliminated.

When it comes to the decisive decision, there are often only a few people, all of whom are the likes of Taoguang and obscurity, and the winners who have experienced several fights are qualified to be proud.

Chen Shou is now running Kaifeng Mansion and Daimyo's Mansion, and his determination can be seen from the demolition of the Royal Peony Garden to make a medicinal field.

Smart people have already begun to prepare for war, and then there is a long period of chaos, and some people may jump out of the limelight, but the more powerful opponents are often inciting others to attack, but they are accumulating strength, recruiting troops and herding food, and strengthening defense.

Qin Hui, Chang'an Mansion.

On the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, with a high and distant view, the distant mountains and rivers are all in front of you, and even the chessboard-like Chang'an Street Market can be seen at a glance.

Over the years, Chang'an City has gradually recovered its vitality, although it is not as magnificent as it was in the Tang Dynasty, it is also a bit prosperous Kaiyuan atmosphere.

The wind in the heights tends to be cooler, but fortunately the wind is not strong today, and the breeze is refreshing.

On the high spire, two men sat opposite each other under the curly arched doorway, and in front of them was a small table, on which were jugs, glasses, and a few pieces of fruit.

This situation is very elegant, but as soon as the man opened his mouth, there was a rudeness of a martial artist: "The thief and the bird, the donkey Chen Shouyin is extremely damaged, and he wants his mother's tax reduction and exemption in the name of the emperor and the court." This thief has a bird's mouth, and the ignorant people are all talking about the loyalty and courage of the new policy and love the people, but the bad guys want us to do it. ”

After finishing speaking, he was particularly puzzled, and drank the wine in front of him.

After drinking, he wiped his mouth, and said with a scolding: "This Chen Shou doesn't have a good hair on his body, but only this Qin Feng wine is really good for my taste." When one day he enters Bianliang and captures him alive, let him be a winemaker in my mansion. ”

The man sitting opposite him was very elegant, and said with a smile: "Yao Manzi, let Zhongyong Marquis be your winemaker, I'm just afraid that your back house will be restless." ”

The man who drank was Yao Guan, the envoy of Chang'an, and the elegant man opposite him was Yin Muhong, the governor of Chang'an.

"It is rumored that he defiled the court and rebelled, which is really enviable... Hate, I will end up with him sooner or later. ”

"I'm afraid it's not so easy, a few days ago, you connived at the White Lotus Sect bandits in Zhongtiao Mountain, and robbed them and Xiliang's convoy twice. This is very likely to arouse the vigilance of Li Wei and Chen Shou, if they find out that we are interfering, Qin Hui will not be able to stop the encirclement of these two people. ”

Yao Guan didn't care, drank another glass, picked up a pear and opened his mouth to gnaw it: "I do it finely, I'm afraid of what he does, every year on Li Wei's birthday, I run to him respectfully kowtow three times, and call him godfather; Chen Shou is there, I also give gifts every day, and the old thing is not wary of me. ”

Mu Hong knew the man in front of him very well, he had pear juice splashing on his mouth, he looked rude, but in fact he was as careful as a hair.

If this is the reason why he wants to follow him, just thinking about it, Yao Guan suddenly laughed.

"Although Li Wei is powerful, he is already old, what is the happiest thing for me all these years, do you know?"

"What is it?"

Yao Guan stood up and looked to the west, his voice finally a little solemn: "It's Li Jin who died... Li Jin is immortal, I have been a loyal dog of the Li family all my life, but unfortunately, hehe, God will help me! ”
