The Golden County Magistrate
Chapter 38
At the same time.
In a small inn in Qingshan County, Tang Shuo looked at Wu Handong with a puzzled look.
"Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"
Tang Shuo still didn't believe it. How could Tang Yun, who had already sat firmly on the throne, suddenly leave the palace and come to Qingshan County?
Wu Handong shook his head, "When Your Highness was still the Prince of Yan, I followed Your Highness into the palace and saw Qing Yuan twice. I definitely didn't see it wrong."
Tang Shuo nodded slightly, and knew that what Wu Handong said was probably true.
Subconsciously, he looked at Bai Xiang.
Bai Xiang also frowned, and never thought that he could meet the current emperor in the small Qingshan County.
It is absolutely not an exaggeration to say that enemies meet on a narrow road.
"Qing Yuan is here, Feng Lingwei must be here too, Your Highness must not act rashly." Bai Xiang reminded.
Tang Shuo thought that he still needed you, an old guy, to remind him, and this king is not stupid.
Tang Yun has now firmly established the throne of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Wouldn't it be courting death to confront Tang Yun head-on?
However, for Tang Shuo, this is also a rare opportunity.
"Master Bai, can you make some plans? This is a good opportunity."
Tang Yun has left the palace, and there are not many guards around her. It is difficult to get the same opportunity.
In Tang Shuo's view, it is a gift from God to let Wu Handong see Tang Yun today.
If he misses this opportunity, he doesn't know how long he will have to wait for the next one.
Moreover, under the net of heaven and earth, whether he can survive to the next opportunity is still unknown.
Bai Xiang thought for a while and murmured: "Tang Yun left the palace without any prior information. It is obvious that she went out incognito. Since she went out incognito, there must be few guards around her. As His Highness said, this is indeed a rare opportunity. However, if we want to seize this opportunity and succeed in one fell swoop, I am afraid we have to rely on Chen Yan's power."
"Chen Yan?"
Wu Handong frowned.
"What is that guy thinking? We don't know yet. How can we use his power?"
Bai Xiang sighed: "I also know that Chen Yan's thoughts are not fully understood yet, but this is Qingshan County, Chen Yan's territory. If we want to succeed, we can't do without Chen Yan's help."
Tang Shuo deeply agreed. There are only five of them now. Even if Tang Yun doesn't have many guards around her, it is definitely not easy for the five of them to get close to her.
If Chen Yan can help, the chance of success will be much greater.
"How about this? I will meet Chen Yan again late at night?"
Bai Xiang shook his head, "I'm afraid it's inappropriate. His Majesty is in Qingshan County. How dare Chen Yan meet with His Majesty at this time?"
Tang Shuo sighed, "Alas, what a pity, I'm afraid I'll miss this opportunity."
"How about we use force? I sneak into the county government late at night, arrest Chen Yan, and force him to work with us, how about that?"
Wu Handong really had enough of hiding from place to place.
In his opinion, it's better to take this opportunity to fight. If you succeed, you will be rich and prosperous. If you fail, you will die and be done with it.
It's always better than hiding in the mountains and forests as a bandit.
"Don't be impulsive!" Tang Shuo said angrily.
Bai Xiang interrupted, "Your Highness, there is some truth in what Commander Wu said. Now that the opportunity has come, you must make a decision. It is not impossible to give it a try. I think the chance of success is not small."
Wu Handong looked at Bai Xiang deeply, and Bai Xiang rarely agreed with his opinion.
Tang Shuo was stunned and thought for a while, "Can it be done?"
Bai Xiang said in a deep voice, "It can only be said that there is a chance, but Commander Wu and I can do this. Your Highness should find a chance to leave Qingshan County first."
Tang Shuo understood Bai Xiang's meaning and shook his head, "How can I let you two take risks and leave alone?"
Wu Handong felt that what Bai Xiang said made some sense, "Master Bai is right. If it succeeds, Your Highness will be the most legitimate heir to the Great Zhou. If it fails, Your Highness will have to avenge us."
"This, this..." Tang Shuo hesitated.
...
Qingshan County Government Office.
Chen Yan sat aside, his face was not very good.
"I just think you're unreliable."
Subconsciously complained.
Xun Yufei blushed, feeling that this was indeed his problem, and did not refute.
"Isn't it a good thing for Brother Chen Yan? Since Zhou's Chamber of Commerce has the military equipment forging documents issued by the court, you can legally smelt iron and forge military equipment, and the money you earn from it will be too much to count."
Chen Yan certainly understood this.
Forging military equipment and selling it to Zhou's Chamber of Commerce is still legal, and it sounds like a great thing.
But in fact, Chen Yan's heart is always tense.
Try not to get too close to the court, anyway, he is alsoIf he doesn't plan to get promoted, he will just live a comfortable life in Qingshan County.
Salt is easy to deal with. He has already negotiated with Zhou's Chamber of Commerce to conceal the source of salt.
But military equipment is not the same. The court will definitely investigate the source. Zhou's Chamber of Commerce may not be able to conceal it.
At that time, won't he be in the court's sight?
"Alas, I just want to be low-key, why is it so difficult." Chen Yan sighed.
But things have come to this point, and he has no choice.
After thinking about it, Chen Yan asked, "Have you ever thought about where the iron ore comes from?"
"Qingshan County does have an iron mine. Qingshan County is self-sufficient, but it is definitely not enough to build military equipment."
Because he had seen it, Tang Yun didn't hide it. After entering the county government, he took off his veil.
And the cold look of strangers seemed to melt a little when Chen Yan let go, revealing a little warmth.
"Don't worry about the iron ore. Our Zhou Chamber of Commerce will be responsible for transporting it. Qingshan County only needs to forge it, provided that the quality of the armaments must be guaranteed."
Chen Yan nodded slightly, "That means that Qingshan County is only responsible for the processing in the middle? Earn some processing fees."
Tang Yun nodded gently, "That's about it."
For Chen Yan, this is a good livelihood.
Once the cooperation is long-term, the people of Qingshan County will have jobs.
With a job, there will be no worries about food and drink.
For a county with very little arable land, it is already very difficult to achieve this.
"Of course, if County Magistrate Chen is willing, Zhou Chamber of Commerce can also buy out County Magistrate Chen's forging method in one go, and our Zhou Chamber of Commerce will forge it ourselves in the future."
Tang Yun suggested.
Chen Yan immediately shook his head, "Miss Zhou, do you think I'm stupid?"
Don't make money from a long-term stream, but make a one-time buyout money.
Tang Yun raised her eyebrows and curled up her lips. She secretly thought it was a pity. It would be great if Chen Yan agreed.
Chen Yan was also hesitating at this time.
Either don't do it, or do it bigger.
The opportunity to legally smelt iron is not something that everyone can have.
Although Chen Yan didn't want to be noticed by the court, he didn't want to miss the opportunity to legally smelt iron.
You know, in this world, if you can smelt steel, he can do a lot of things.
There are many things in his mind, and they all need steel to support them.
