Chapter 104 The Secret Behind the Ginseng Crisis

Lin Xiangru's Mansion.

Lin Xiangru and Lian Po sat opposite each other, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious, but the expressions on both of them were not very good.

Lian Po sighed and said, "This time the king was persuaded by Zhao Kuo to conquer Qin. It seems that the position of the chief general is probably going to fall into his hands."

Lin Xiangru shook his head, with a little helpless look on his face: "There is no way, who made him defeat Bai Qi twice?

This person is simply Bai Qi's nemesis."

Lian Po couldn't help but feel silent when he heard this.

In the Battle of Yiyang, the combination of Lian Po and Xinlingjun and the superior forces of the Six-Nation Alliance have never fought Bai Qi, but Zhao Kuo has a smaller number and his morale has also been severely defeated by the Battle of Yiyang. Bai Qi directly retreated and vomited hundreds of miles of land. This direct contrast really made the arrogant and proud old general unable to speak any rebuttal.

After a moment of silence, Lian Po said: "Will you let Yu Xin take action at this time?

Lin Xiangru reached out and knocked on the table in front of him, saying, "You don't know Yu Xin's character. He failed one after another under Zhao Kuo. His revenge was already extremely hot and could not stop him."

Lian Po raised his tone: "Since they have all lost to Zhao Kuo one after another, it means that he is far inferior to Zhao Kuo. What is the reason for attacking Zhao Kuo at this time? "

Lin Xiangru smiled slightly and said, "It's still different. This time it was my instruction, which is completely different from Yu Xin's own way."

Lian Po looked at Lin Xiangru with some confusion: "Can a mere ginseng really hurt Zhao Kuo?

And don’t forget that Zhou Shaofen and Zhou Qing also have a share of his income. If Zhou Qing annoys Zhou Qing and makes him completely hostile to us, it wouldn’t be good, right?”

Lin Xiangru said slowly: "It's not just Zhao Kuo.

During this period, I have quietly arranged some people to enter the Guo Chamber of Commerce and have already found out the details of the ginseng business very clearly.

Guo Zong and Zhou Qing only account for 10% of the shares."

Lian Po widened his eyes in surprise: "These two people combined are only 20% of them. Wouldn't it mean that Zhao Kuo alone accounts for 80%?

Good boy, I said why some people recently reported that Zhao's manor bought a large amount of iron ore? It turns out that this boy is rich."

Lin Xiangru showed an unfathomable smile and said, "If you think so, that's bad.

In fact, Zhao Kuo is just a cover for the ginseng business. If I guess it is correct, Zhao Kuo should only be about 30% of the remaining 80%. The real ginseng business owner has someone else."

Lian Po was even more surprised: "Who is it?"

Lin Xiangru took a deep breath and said, "It's our old opponent - Mr. Pingyuan!"

Lian Po slapped his thigh and said, "So it's him! I'll say that only Pingyuan Jun can do the ginseng business to this extent."

Lin Xiangru nodded slightly and said, "That's the reason."

So this time we attack the ginseng business will not only hit Zhao Kuo, but also cause Pingyuan Jun to be severely damaged. This is a plan to kill two birds with one stone, so why not do it?”

Lian Po's brows stretched out and smiled, "Okay, let Zhao Kuo suffer a loss, otherwise I will always be unhappy when I see his face."

Lin Xiangru smiled and said, "Didn't you be convinced by Zhao Kuo's leadership of the army long ago?"

Lian Po snorted and said, "Although he is strong in leading the troops, I have gained a lot after carefully studying his battle examples. Now it may not be worse than him."

Lin Xiangru laughed: "I hope so.

In short, not only Yu Xin needs revenge, but our scholars also need a political victory to boost morale.

You also know that the officials today are all tempting and accomplices. If they cannot win, they will all go to Pingyuan Jun and Zhao Kuo after a while. It will be too late to regret it at that time."

"Okay OK, I get it."

Lian Po waved his hand and said, "I'm not at ease when Yu Xin comes to do these things, but I'm still very at ease when you come to do them."

Just be careful and don’t show any flaws.”

Lin Xiangru smiled and said, "There should be no problem. The Zhenbotian was originally a bandit in Shangdang County. What Yu Xin did was just to provide the position of the ginseng mining team to Zhenbotian. They were all verbally informed and would not leave any evidence at all."

Lian Po said worriedly: "Will it affect local public security and taxes be a big deal."

Lin Xiangru shook his head and said, "Don't worry about local security. It only moves in the mountains and forests. Now only ginseng tourists will enter the mountains.

As for taxation, ginseng is the business of Zhao Kuo and Pingyuanjun, how did it affect national taxation?

When the ginseng business is shaken and turned bad, then the shaken sky will definitely be a domineering in the Taihang Mountains. Then we will let Yu Xin wipe out the shaken sky, which will be another great achievement. Maybe Yu Xin can take advantage of the situation and return to the center. Wouldn’t it be a big hit in one fell swoop?"

Lian Po was convinced and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, you are indeed much more thoughtful than that boy Yu Xin, so let's do it like this."

Lin Xiangru twisted his beard and smiled slightly, his face full of confidence.

Zhao Kuo Mansion.

"Zhou Qing, why are you here in person?"

Seeing Zhou Shaofen arrive in person, Zhao Kuo's face was somewhat surprised: "Just send a confidant to explain the situation."

Zhou Shaofen is the only "historic person" among the six important officials today. However, the two of them deliberately made a fuss and asked Zhou Shaofen to be an undercover agent on the side of the scholars. If someone else found out that Zhou Shaofen and Zhao Kuo secretly met, wouldn't this matter be ruined?

Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo felt that Zhou Shaofen in front of him was a little ignorant.

Zhou Shaofen seemed to know what Zhao Kuo was thinking, and then smiled bitterly and said, "Zhao Qing misunderstood. It's not that Zhou was not thinking well, but that's really shocking... it's not simple."

"not simple?"

Zhao Kuo looked at Zhou Shaofen with some confusion: "Isn't it just an ordinary bandit? Is there anything else special?"

In Zhao Kuo's view, Taihang Mountain has always been a place where bandits are everywhere because of its high mountains and dense forests. In history, the extinction of bandits in Taihang Mountains must have happened after the founding of New China. In other words, the bandits in this place have never stopped for five thousand years. It is normal for something like shaking the sky, the Decepticon Optimus Prime.

Zhou Shaofen shook his head and said, "It seems that this is true, but when I was in Shangdang County, I actually found a lot of wrong things."

Zhao Kuo touched his chin and said, "For example?"

Zhou Shaofen said: "For example, although the number of bandits that broke the sky was only 500, they had more than twenty Korean military crossbows!"

"What?"

Zhao Kuo was slightly surprised, but immediately returned to calm: "Before the Battle of Changping last year, Shangdang County was still a land of South Korea. It would not be surprising if some Korean soldiers were unwilling to surrender to our Great Zhao and became bandits."

Zhou Shaofen nodded and said, "If this is the case, then Zhou's idea is actually the same as Zhao Qing.

But the strangest thing is that the bandits who broke the sky were well-trained when they advanced and retreated, and had a certain military style.

However, they used not the formation and tactics of the Korean army, but the tactics of the Qin army!"
