In the bright hall, Chen Shou invited the ministers to the banquet.

There are quite a lot of people coming today. At a glance, I have asked for more than 100 people, most of whom were unsatisfactory idle officials who were suppressed by Wei Yunse’s party for many years, and a few of them were directly from the Wei party.

Those who know the times are heroes. Wei Yunse competed several times and was at a disadvantage, so naturally some people changed their families.

Chen Shou treated these people more politely and gave others a sample, so these people were very close to Chen Shou, and Chen Shou also toasted them with a glass of wine from time to time.

His own power is still there and has been continuously replenished. The Taoist temples in the suburbs are filled with strong men.

The Imperial Horse Supervisor and the Jinyu Guard are not inferior to the Left Strike Camp, which is controlled by civil servants. This is clearly understood in the last battle.

Everyone has already seen that the most crowded imperial guards are a group of waste.

Chen Shou left the crown scarf, disheveled his hair, and sat on the table with his legs spread out, looking like a classic slander.

On both sides of him was Liu Er Taoer, a beautiful concubine wearing fox fur. She snuggled in his arms, her white wrists were relaxing, and she poured wine and cloth dishes.

During the meal, there were also singing and dancing girls he invited from Bianliang to spend a high price.

In Miao De's control, the Jiaofangsi is equivalent to Chen Shou's hands. These women who have fallen into chaos are a hot topic. They all act hard and try to make Chen Changshi take a fancy to him, so that they can get rid of their bad fortune.

Otherwise, if Chen Shou didn't nod, even the richest people would not be able to redeem them.

I heard that there was a concubine in Chen Changshi's mansion, who was from the Jiaofangsi, which made these beauties look more attentively at him.

Halfway through drinking, Zhang He came in from the side, walked silently to Chen Shou, and said, "Sir, the goods from the west have arrived."

Chen Shou nodded, "Send it to the Taoist temple and hide it in the basement."

This ship of cargo is extraordinary, and Chen Shou himself blushed and heard a little hot.

It’s not because the wine is rising, but because these goods are all prohibited.

The situation in the world is about to be chaotic, and the chaotic times may be in the blink of an eye. Those who do not prepare will inevitably look dark at that time.

After the banquet ended, Chen Shou and his men sent everyone out of the mansion, and each of them prepared a small gift.

Yuan Xiannian, the head of the Ministry of Justice, deliberately hesitated. When everyone left, he stepped forward and smiled at Chen Shou: "Brother Zhongyong, my father came from his hometown three days later. He has always admired the Lord. He prepared a little wine to greet him in Fenglin Restaurant, and asked Boron Zhongyong to appreciate his face."

Yuan Xian was in his forties, and his father was probably in his fifties and sixties. It would be strange if he admired him, but Chen Shou still agreed with a smile.

Although the official position of the Ministry of Justice is not very good, he is really a fat man. Yuan Xiannian has the courage to change the family, so he still has to give him some face.

As long as he doesn't have a ill-intention, he should just submit a letter of fame, and Chen Shou still accepted it happily.

Even if you just get a few Wei Party members, it's good.

Seeing that he was so appreciating, Yuan Xiannian turned his head away with a smile. Chen Shou immediately ordered: "Go outside the Fenglin Restaurant to arrange a few spies to observe day and night, and report it in time if there is anything unusual."

Zhao Hong nodded and set out to make arrangements immediately.

At that time, there were only a dozen people from Qin Feng Camp who came to Bianliang with Chen Shou, but over the past period, many Qin Feng Camp soldiers came to Bianliang with the caravans.

Their age is the best disguise, and few people will doubt a group of children playing.

After seeing everyone off, Zhang He took Chen Shou to the Taoist temple on the outskirts of the city.

The Taoist temple is heavily guarded, with layers of high walls shaped like a fortress.

There is no clue from the outside. Once you come in, you will know that this place is simply a layer of small city walls, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Chen Shou rode his horse and came to the innermost point. Zhang He took him to a rockery, and came out of the foot of the mountain covered with vines and came out of a secret door.

After entering, I lit a torch and saw that it was quite spacious inside.

Zhang He patted the wooden box, picked up a piece of kraft paper, and said, "Sir, this is a list. There are 800 shields, 200 bows, and 20,000 arrows. They are all good steel arrows. Because they are all prohibited weapons, they are afraid that they will be found on the road, so they will be transported with these ships."

Chen Shou nodded and said, "This is not a solution for a long time. I have to secretly transport it to the capital under the banner of transporting tributes to His Majesty."

“What is the tribute?”

Chen Shou laughed and said, "It's just that it's ice water taken from Tianshan Mountain to refine alchemy."

This trick is like trying it all. It is like asking for an edict from the emperor.

"It's still a little more risky to transport so much at a time. Let's cut it in half next time. Take your time slowly."

Zhang He nodded and asked, "The grain required by the General's Mansion has not been raised recently. The harvest this year is not good, and the grain is being collected everywhere."

Chen Shou's face darkened and said, "It may not be a bad harvest. Everyone is busy collecting grain because people with vision have seen danger. If troubled times come, people with food can quickly gather a group of people."

"Sir, what should we do?"

Chen Shou whispered: "Can you find a channel to buy food from the Southern Tang Dynasty from Jingxiang area?"

Zhang He was shocked. His own lord really had no taboos, and even Nan Tang dared to collude.

Chen Shou also knew that now he was taking the chestnut in the fire, but the situation had reached this time, and the careful and cautious style was no longer working.

Especially when you are poor and have no foundation, you need to let go.

If you ask for everything and blame me for everything, you don’t have the conditions at all, you are just waiting for death.

Chen Shou whispered: "As long as the people in Nan Tang have money, there is nothing they dare not do. If they give enough money, it is okay to let them sell themselves. There is a way to get it, but it is better to bribe local officials. It is best to arrange our people."

"How do we become officials?"

"Spend money to buy it!" Chen Shou whispered: "I won a few of Qin Fengying's previous imperial examinations. I'll try to see if it can be operated."

"Sir, is it necessary to take this risk?"

Chen Shou remained silent, is it necessary... It is so necessary. If he does not develop and the troubled times come, the first person to die will be himself.

If I am comfortable now, then the more comfortable you are today, the ugly one will be tomorrow.

Even Concubine Wu could feel the uncertainty of the world. Chen Shou, who was in Bianliang and came into contact with this country's confidant, understood more than anyone else that the pillars had rotted and the collapse of the building was a matter of time.

Close the mountain gate and Chen Shou looked around, and the place was very secret.
