After a period of pushing and changing glasses in the room, the tense atmosphere gradually eased, not because Wang Teng and Zeng Xiu felt that there were fewer drinks for their confidants for the first time, but because there was still Lin Feng in the room, so that the two of them could be pressed firmly on the seats, and they could not make the two of them draw their swords against each other while the wine was strong.

After Lin Feng boasted about the Jin Chamber of Commerce he represented, Zeng Xiu felt more and more that his good fortune was in front of him, and naturally it was impossible to continue to stalemate the situation because of the contradiction between his master and Wang Teng, and even occasionally raised his glass to give Wang Teng a glass.

Of course, the reason why Zeng Xiu did this was not only for the sake of the overall situation of the entire puppet Qi regime, but also to pave the way for his future future. In case the current food and salary matter is really solved, even if the main credit is Wang Teng's, then Wang Teng eats meat, at least Zeng Xiu himself can make a bowl of broth to drink, maybe there will be some meat scraps left.

And the reason why Wang Teng gave Zeng Xiu a face was completely for Lin Feng's face, and looking at the changes in front of him, Wang Teng also found that Zeng Xiu was indeed very concerned about the Jin Chamber of Commerce and even the matter of raising food and salary. In fact, Wang Teng's heart was not worried that Zeng Xiu would share his own credit, because what Jin Chamber of Commerce, what raised food, and what great credit were all imaginary things, it was completely made up by Lin Feng alone to coax Zeng Xiu, and Wang Teng was just acting as a supporting role.

And the reason why Lin Feng made up such a story was to completely attract Zeng Xiu's attention, so that Chen Wansan and the others, who had left, could safely send Ziyao back to his residence. Second, Lin Feng also wanted to take this opportunity to spread the matter of food and salary through Zeng Xiu's mouth. Just imagine, if all the puppet Qi rebels are looking forward to food and salary all day long, but in the end they are empty-handed, and they are also looking forward to the siege of the Feng family's army, the difference between one in the sky and one in the ground will have a great impact on the morale of the whole army.

After boasting for a while, Lin Feng himself was a little tired, and seeing that Zeng Xiu seemed to be close to Wang Tengtao, he was also happy, and he had been hungry for a long time, so he stopped talking and filled his stomach attentively.

"That, General Wang." After just a glass of wine, Zeng Xiu sneered at Wang Teng a few times, looked at Lin Feng on the side, and asked a little embarrassedly: "If the negotiation is completed, how much grain and grass can the Jin Chamber of Commerce provide us?" And the military salary, how long is it enough for our army to last? ”

"Well," Wang Teng just raised the chopsticks for a meal, how could he know this kind of question, he didn't know how to answer at all, his brows furrowed slightly, and he pondered for a moment before slowly putting down the chopsticks, looking at Zeng Xiu and shaking his head and sighing: "General Zeng, in fact, I won't tell you!" Jin Gongzi also arrived today, and his subordinates came to take a look before! As for how much grain, grass and silver, I'm afraid I have to say it himself! ”

"That's it!" Zeng Xiu believed Wang Teng's words without hesitation, because the first half of what Wang Teng said was indeed true, Zeng Xiu had already learned the news from Zhang Li before coming, Lin Feng and the three of them were taken into the city by Wang Teng's people, and the news said that it was definitely the first time to enter the city.

"Huh! After such a long journey, I finally had a good meal! After a moment of silence in the room, Lin Feng finally put down his chopsticks, and didn't care about Zeng Xiu's presence, he directly stretched out his arms and stretched his muscles, then raised the wine glass on the table, and smiled at the two: "Come, two generals!" Eat and drink! Now let's get down to business! ”

"Good, good!" The two of them responded again and again, hurriedly held the cup with both hands in return, and then raised their heads and drank it all. Zeng Xiu couldn't wait for a long time, and only wanted to see how big this business was and how much benefit it could bring to himself. And Wang Teng spared no effort to cooperate as much as possible, and the three of them really looked like they were going to talk about a big business.

"Jin Gongzi, the stakes are very high, forgive me for taking the liberty of speaking out!" Wang Tengzheng didn't know how to mention it, Zeng Xiu couldn't wait to open his mouth on the side, arched his hand at Lin Feng, nodded slightly to apologize, and then asked with a smile: "I don't know how much grain and grass and military salary can be provided to us by the Jin Chamber of Commerce today?" Also, I don't know what the conditions of your chamber of commerce are? ”

"Grain and grass are good to say! As long as you have money, you can easily get food! On the Jiangnan side, the most important thing is food! As long as it can be negotiated, the grain and grass salaries are not a problem at all! Lin Feng waved his hand magnificently, smiled nonchalantly, first said nonsense, and then looked at Zeng Xiu, who was a little anxious, frowned, groaned slightly, and asked in a deep voice: "Half of the grain in Jiangnan!" General Zeng, do you think it's enough for the army to eat for a few months? ”

"Half of Gangnam?!" Zeng Xiu was suddenly shocked, then shook his head again and again, looked at Lin Feng in disbelief and said with a smile: "Jin Gongzi is really good at laughing!" Now that my Great Qi is at war with the Tang Court, how can I let half of the grain in Jiangnan be transported here! No way, no way! ”

"General Zeng, do you think this is a joke? Tang Ting has his own method of collecting grain, and our Jin Chamber of Commerce is not without friends in the Jiangnan area, as long as the negotiation is completed here, I will send someone to deliver a letter, and immediately start to gather some friends to discuss countermeasures and hoard grain and grass! Lin Feng didn't pay attention to Zeng Xiu's distrust, let alone care about his attitude, he smiled in his heart, and secretly made a decision, anyway, he just opened his mouth and said nothing: "As for the issue of military salary!" Again, it's not a big deal, as long as it's negotiated! I believe that with the reputation of our Kim Chamber of Commerce alone, it will be easy to raise your army in the Jiangnan area for a few months or even a year! Although there will be some troubles, General Zeng should not forget, whether it is our Jin Chamber of Commerce or other chambers of commerce, they are all businessmen, and they rely on business to make profits, as long as there are enough interests, bankrupt and desperate people, I think there will be no less! ”

"This, this..." Zeng Xiu didn't believe it even more, but on the contrary, he was more and more willing to believe it, under the entanglement in his heart, in the end, the desire for fame and fortune prevailed, and after being stunned for a while, he still decided to believe what Lin Feng said, after all, no matter whether this matter succeeds or fails, there is no loss to him.

However, Zeng Xiu still had an extra heart before he opened his mouth, opened his mouth, and finally turned his head to look at Wang Teng, and asked with a smile: "General Wang, what is General Wang's opinion on Jin Gongzi's words?" ”

"If it is really as General Wang said, then the current problems of our army will naturally be solved, and there is no need to worry about it at all!" Wang Teng nodded without hesitation, expressed his opinion without reservation, and then met Zeng Xiu's gaze and proposed with a smile: "General Zeng, let's listen to what Jin Gongzi said!" See what the conditions they put forward! ”

"Yes, yes! Let's listen to Jin Gongzi first! Zeng Xiu's heart was still entangled, although it was not as intense as just now, but he still felt that something was wrong, and at Wang Teng's suggestion, he immediately nodded without thinking, and turned his eyes on Lin Feng with a smile.
