Chapter 180: Preparation for each other

Shu Lent behaved calmly and poured hot water into the teacup. The soaring white mist hit his face, and the feeling of dampness and heat made his tense mood feel a little soothed. The fragrance of tea is faint, and sure enough, this thing has the effect of calming the mind.

When Chen Baichuan gave him tea, he said that this kind of thing called tea could relieve his boredom and tension later, and what he said was true, tea really has a certain effect. However, Chen Baichuan also expected that his boredom and his heart were tight.

Tomorrow, tomorrow.

He will really mobilize the power he has accumulated in the past few years to see if he can drive Chen Baichuan, a powerful enemy, out of Daling Province and Daling Province that belongs to him.

However, King Chen, who later learned about it, would send officials to sanction him, and even in the worst case, a large army would crush the border. Shu Sanshi suddenly had another idea in his heart at this moment, otherwise let Chen Baichuan stay in Daling Province forever, of course, not to kill Chen Baichuan, but to put him under house arrest and make him the "guardian saint" of Daling Province. In this way, it is once and for all.

Probably overwhelmed by Chen Baichuan's identity, such simple thoughts didn't appear in his mind until today. Shu Santen took a sip of the steaming tea, and a slightly bitter and fresh feeling poured into his mouth. After placing the teacup on the table, he beckoned the servant to call the butler.

The housekeeper of the book house was an ordinary old man with gray hair, and there was still a bit of kindness on his face. However, for the servants of the book, this old man who was like a vampire was a more terrible and cruel figure than the book of Lent. At least the book Lent wouldn't like to watch men and women in the middle of the night, and then torture and kill them to death. (.CC good-looking marshmallows.)

However, the old man is just a housekeeper after all, although he can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person in Daling Province, but after all, he still has to grovel to the person above him.

Seeing the old man coming, Shu Sanshi motioned for him to sit on the opposite side, and then said, "Steward Liu, I'm still a little worried in my heart, Chen Baichuan may just be obedient?" I'm worried that he still has a backhand, and besides, if he loses, it's a big deal to return to Chendu to recuperate, and he will make a comeback day by day, and if we lose, it will be a doom. ”

Shu Santen frowned, and poured out his worries, or rather, these were the things he feared in his heart. Daling Province is his place of residence, once it was taken away by Chen Baichuan, all the powerful positions he has managed to this day have been useless.

It's not that he hasn't thought about compromise, and it's not that he doesn't intend to be a vassal to Chen Baichuan.

It's just that Chen Baichuan's appetite is too big, so big that he will never be able to nod his head. Chen Baichuan actually asked him to remove his ownership and power, and spend the rest of his life as a rich man with peace of mind. And after his bottom line was spoken, all he got was a mocking chuckle.

That chuckle was like a knife into the heart of the book, and he was unwilling to compromise any longer. 、

Steward Liu pinched the orchid finger and picked up the cup in front of him. After sniffing it for a while, he didn't drink it, but put it back in his place. He said in a sharp voice: "What are you afraid of, the miscellaneous family told you not to be afraid, you don't need to worry." Over the years, have you ever deceived you once? Chen Baichuan's mansion was given by Huang Shilong, and when he moved, our people also stared at the door for a long time, and the total number of people who came in and out was about 100 people. And there were only a few hundred people hidden on board, and the total number of people did not exceed five hundred. ”

His orchid fingers pinched the shallow Adam's apple.

"As for us, there are more than this number of outlaws, plus the people raised in the name of the county officials, how can there be thousands of people. Although he Chen Baichuan is a high and powerful person, why don't his subordinates have three heads and six arms, how can they beat us? You are too worried, sleep well tonight, and wait early tomorrow morning to hear the good news. ”

The tension on Shu Santen's face eased a little in the moonlight, and although he was still a little worried, at least he couldn't figure out where the plan was lacking.

I hope this worry is too much.

………………

Although Tran Quoc Daling Province is a small border area, there are still hundreds of thousands of people living here.

As soon as the morning light woke up the silence of the earth, a woman strolled through the streets and alleys of Daling City with bamboo baskets. The people live on food, and many people can only maintain food and clothing in their homes, and other nobler things are delusional for these families who are struggling on the poverty line, so eating enough food seems to be the most important thing for them.

It's just that today's streets are a little strange, and you can't see a single farmer setting up a stall on the streets and alleys. Could it be that they all happened to wake up late?

Moreover, none of the shops on either side of the street are open. Except for the women who got up early and wanted to pick fresh vegetables and meat first, the entire Daling City was extremely empty and quiet, and it almost became a dead city.

I can't buy vegetables and meat, and none of the grain stores are open.

There was no food at home and banged on the wooden door of the store, but he couldn't wait for anyone to open the door, and no one responded for a long time. How is this good, there is still a large family waiting to eat at home.

In this strange situation, the subordinates sent by Chen Baichuan to inspect the situation did not drop a word to report to Chen Baichuan.

Chen Baichuan's face also appeared solemn after learning about it, and he could probably guess the trick played by Shu Santen, which was nothing more than to find a messy excuse to stuff the current situation of no food in the city onto him. Then, with the voice of the people of the whole city and even the whole province, he expelled himself from Daling Province.

This trick is indeed useful, but only if you can order all the merchants in Daling Province.

Chen Baichuan glanced at Huang Shilong speechlessly, he didn't know what this fat guy had done in Da Linggou's life all these years, and he didn't even have a few businessmen who listened to his orders for several years.

However, Chen Baichuan didn't plan to rely on Huang Shilong to get through this difficulty at the beginning, and he wanted to make the people who couldn't buy food angry with him, so he just had to make the people not angry.

It's a simple and crude method, but it also comes with the premise that there must be enough food to keep the people angry.

The people in the city will have no surplus grain, and most of the people living in the countryside have surplus grain hidden in their homes, so the range of people who will be affected by the food crisis can even be directly reduced to Daling City. To feed a Daling City, this amount of grain Chen Baichuan can be escorted over with the help of the boat that came with him.

"Order the men on board to rest for a while at once, and assemble here before noon today, and to be ready to come at any time if they receive my orders."

"You guys will be at the door of the back house when the time comes, and don't let a fly fly over."

"Get ready, this time the opponent is a little fly, if I lose face when I shoot it to death, I will send it to the small black room one by one." (To be continued.) )
