Chapter 111 Thunderstorm

"Chen Tong."

Li Chen called out.

Soon, Chen Tong entered Xizheng Hall and saluted Li Chen.

"See His Highness Qiansheng."

"Chen Tong is the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei of the East Factory. If you are looking for this item, you can contact Chen Tong directly if you need a manpower and help."

After saying to Liu Sichun, Li Chen turned his head and explained to Chen Tong: "This thing has a great relationship. You and the Jinyiwei must cooperate with you."

Chen Tong clasped his fists and said, "As for the orders of humble duty!"

Sweet potatoes are easy to grow, have large yields, and can largely replace rice as the staple food, especially in the current national famine that has been suffering from natural disasters for years. This thing is more delicious than grassroots and bark.

Once promoted, the food problem that has plagued the Qin Empire for hundreds of years can be solved half of it.

Originally, Li Chen was just trying it out, but he didn't expect that Liu Sichun could really bring him a glimmer of hope.

A big rock fell to the ground in his heart, and Li Chen was in a good mood.

When Liu Sichun was in a good mood when he saw Li Chen, he was extremely smart and simply beat the snake and followed the stick, and said, "Your Highness, I have encountered many difficulties in the salt transportation matter..."

Taking advantage of the prince's mood and telling the bad news, he can bear less responsibility.

After Liu Sichun finished speaking, he saw Li Chen's meaningful gaze falling on him.

It seemed as if all that thought was seen through.

"You are smart, and you have used all the smart calculations of merchants' businessmen."

Li Chen chuckled and said, "Tell me, what difficulties, I am in a good mood. If it is indeed not your fault, I should solve it for you."

Liu Sichun was very happy, and his eyes also brightened.

"Some time ago, after getting the salt transport of Your Highness Kaien, the young lady led the Liu family to gather most of the manpower and property, and went to Zhejiang and Fujian to open salt mines and salt wells. Thanks to His Highness's favor, the output was pretty good, but when we were planning to transport salt to the Gyeonggi area for sale, something went wrong."

"The first batch of salt was 6,000 kilograms in total. When we arrived at Xishan Province, we suddenly disappeared. At first we thought it was because of the flood, so we sent people to search and contact the Xishan Province Administrator and the local salt officer. Only then did we learn that the first batch of salt had been captured by the rebels. We hoped that the governor could come forward and send troops to quell the rebels, but the governor rejected us on the grounds that the natural disaster and there was no extra force available, so..."

Liu Sichun didn't finish his words.

Because he saw Li Chen Tieqing's face.

She didn't know where she was wrong, so she could only shut up immediately.

"Rebels? What rebels!?"

Li Chen stared at Liu Sichun, his voice as cold as ice, "Where did the rebels come from?"

Liu Sichun was shocked and said, "Your Highness doesn't know? Because there are too many victims in Xishan Province, a large number of rebels have formed under the intrigue of those who are interested. Moreover, the rebels have occupied Taiyuan, Yangqu and Xiangding counties, and almost cut off all the important roads of Xishan Province entering Nanzhili."

"The young lady thought that Your Highness had already received the news. After all, there is no reason for Your Highness and the court to know about such a big thing..."

As he said this, Liu Sichun himself realized that the court could not have known such an important matter.

But when the court knows it, it does not necessarily mean that the prince must know it.

Liu Sichun, who realized that he had been accidentally involved in the top political struggle of the Qin Empire, turned pale and said that the rest was unsuccessful.

Bang!

Li Chen slapped the table.
