In a certain mansion hall, Yuwen Wen was drinking tea. There was a glass screen within his sight. The pattern on it was very beautiful, but for Yuwen Wen, it was not the first time he had seen this screen.

The Hundred Birds Chaohuang Glass Screen is the product of Yuwen Wen Glass Workshop.

This glass screen, with the pattern of hundreds of birds facing the phoenix, was carefully crafted by Yuwen Wen's "Lihua" and sold to the merchant of Chen State at a high price. In the end, it will be presented to the Emperor of Chen State and transferred to another "Lihua".

Now this Lihua is next to Yuwen Wen, pouring tea for him.

Zhang Lihua, the favorite concubine of Chen Shubao, the emperor of Chen State, is so beautiful, but her beauty is just that for Yuwen Wen.

My Lihua is no worse than you, the real queen!

In order to show warm hospitality, the host asked his concubine to serve the guests. It is normal in this era, because the concubine is just a toy and not a human being, so of course it is limited to normal service, such as pouring tea and wine.

Unless the owner is willing to ask the concubine to provide "special services", it is best for the guests not to touch the concubine. After all, "no matter how to take it for yourself is to steal", not to mention that the "concubine" around Yuwen Wen is an extraordinary identity.

Yuwen Wen didn't feel any honor to have such a beautiful woman. Chen Shubao often summoned his close ministers to play, drink, write poems and music, and his concubines and talented palace maids often served the guests.

Of course, it is only limited to normal service. Whoever dares to touch others will be impatient unless you live.

Chen Shubao, who was sitting in the upper head, saw that "Yu Langjun" already knew his identity and was no longer "reserved" and directly expressed his intention to recruit him: "Yu Langjun, now the imperial court is working on people, can he be willing to serve the country?"

"The people are afraid and willing to serve the country!"

Of course Yuwen Wen was willing, but his "country" was Zhou, not Chen. Such ambiguousness would be considered as appropriate, so he would not be stupid enough to save Chen Shubao.

Chen Shubao was overjoyed, but before he could speak, Yuwen Wen added: "It's just that the affairs of Caomin's family have not been handled yet, so he can't share his worries immediately."

"Family affairs?" Chen Shubao was stunned when he heard this. He recalled the various sorrows of "Yu Langjun" yesterday when he drank wine, and nodded silently: "I know, Yu Langjun is angry, I don't know what happened to this?"

"The official family is in no way hiding it. Caomin's family is now living in Bazhou, Zhouguo, Jiangbei." Yuwen Wen was heartbroken when he said this, "Camin's wife occupied it for Yuwen Wen!"

As soon as this said, Zhou Faming, who was pretending to be a sample tea next to him, almost choked. Yuwen Wen often said something amazing. If he hadn't been used to it, he would have been rude just now.

He lied blatantly and had an angry expression. Zhou Faming truly admired Yuwen Wen's acting skills, but this cannot be said to be a lie. Isn't Yuwen's wife Yuwen's wife Yuchen?

"Being occupied by Yuwen Wen?" Chen Shubao was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded. His wife was occupied. No wonder the other party was so angry. "This guy is very abominable. He will harm our country Yingzhou. I will send troops to destroy it sooner or later!"

"Yu Langjun, what I said just now, is it that I want to go to Bazhou to save my family?" Zhang Lihua asked. She and Chen Shubao had different concerns.

"That's right, Caomin's family is stranded in Bazhou. Now Yuwen Wen is not in the mansion. Caomin has received help from several friends and wants to rescue Zhujing and take his family south to the country."

"It is said that this Yao's mansion is very strict, is Yu Langjun sure?"

What Kong Fan said was not verbal and said nothing. Chen State hated Yuwen Wen to the core. He also planned to send dead soldiers to infiltrate into Bazhou to wait for an opportunity to assassinate, but the opponent's defense was very strict and he had no idea how to start.

"Yuwen Wen is not in the mansion, and Zhuo Jing is not favored by the housewife. He was moved to a villa outside the city to live. There is a relaxed guard there, and it is not that there is no chance."

Yuwen Wen was still talking nonsense, and began to perform his acting skills. He stood up and saluted Chen Shubao: "The official family and the grass-roots were originally going to go upstream to Bazhou as a businessman, but now Chen and Zhou are fighting each other, and the official army is strictly preventing the mistakes and cannot pass."

"Now the official family is here, and the people are brave enough to ask the official family to make some convenience and let the officers and soldiers of the prefectures and counties along the way go to let go."

"It's okay, I promise!"

Chen Shubao didn't need to ask about this little thing personally, but he was still quite concerned. After all, the other party was a talent he wanted to use, so he was just a good help.

"There are many good players in my imperial guards, so I sent some people to help you with my husband."

"The grass people are frightened and have friends of life and death when walking between the north and the south. Now you all go to Bazhou to help. If the grass people ask others for help, it will be a big deal."

“Why is this?”

"Just like the Zhou Langjun beside Caomin, they traveled thousands of miles to Bazhou to draw their swords to help. If Caomin seeks help from others, it is because they distrust him. At that time, they will only cut off the mat and break off diplomatic relations with Caomin."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shubao looked at Zhou Faming and nodded in praise: "It turns out that he has the style of an ancient chivalrous man!"

Zhang Lihua smiled and said, "Zhou Langjun is a talented person. I think the people Yu Langjun has been friends with are like this. No wonder he was able to write the song "The Legend of the Knights"."

"The official family, the grass-roots people want to save their families. They illegally transported sea salt from Lingnan to Bazhou. It was precisely this way that they were able to approach Yuwen Wen's mansion." Yuwen Wen's drawing was exhausted.

"Official family! When Caomin came to Jiankang, the ship was broken and sank, and the sea salt entered the water without a trace. If there was no salt, Caomin could not use it to enter Bazhou. Seeing that there was no hope of saving people, he was extremely sad and angry. Now... I don't know..."

Kong Fan raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Does Yu Langjun want to buy salt in Jiankang and then transport it to Bazhou, use this to enter the city to complete the transaction, and then act according to the opportunity?"

Salt and iron. Since ancient times, the imperial court has been very strict in control. The Shannan prefectures and counties of Zhou State did not produce salt. Now they are isolated from the outside world and cannot find salt. Chen and Zhou are hostile. If they sell salt from Chen State to Zhou State, they will be a serious crime for the enemy.

Of course that's what it means, actually...

In Chen State, some people instructed their shopkeepers to sell all kinds of goods to Bazhou for the huge profits of the glass mirror. There was salt in them. Although it was only a small amount, it was enough to behead him.

Those who invest in the enemy should really kill them. Kong Fan, who went to Bazhou to sell salt, said in his heart that the national laws must be abide by.

"It's okay, I'm sure. Mr. Yu can buy salt in Jiankang as much as possible. I'll let Mr. Kong make arrangements and release the prefectures and counties along the way!"

For Chen Shubao, this kind of thing is not even a matter of slaughter. He admires Yu Langjun's literary talent very much and makes up his mind to let him use it for his own purposes. Now that the other party has something to ask for, it is really hard to ask for.

"Yu Langjun, if you don't have enough money, I can help you."

"The grass-roots people have already prepared money and dare not work hard to get the officials."

"Mr. Yu Langjun, when will you come back now? I can wait for you to serve the country."

"If Caomin saved his family, he would cross south and leave the boundary of Shannan, but he didn't know what to do at that time..."

"It's okay, Yu Langjun can just contact the mansion here!"

Half an hour later.

Yuwen Wen walked on the street, and Zhou Faming followed closely behind excitedly. He didn't know why Yuwen Wen provoked Chen Shubao, but now he realized that the other party was trying to take care of him!

Salt is an inconspicuous thing, but you can’t live without it. A person eats very little salt every day, but no matter how little it is, you have to eat it. Without salt for a long time, people will lose their limbs. It is a fatal thing to have no salt!

There is no salt produced in Shannan. The well salt in Shu is in the upper reaches and the sea salt along the coast of Chen State downstream. There is no need to think about it now. It was originally able to transport pool salt and sea salt by the imperial court, but now the Hezhou General Administration has been lost, the road is cut off, and the salt road is cut off.

God knows when Shannan will be connected to the court again, so the issue of salt supply is becoming increasingly urgent.

"Eunuch, how much salt should I buy back this time?"

"What do you think?"

Yuwen Wen's eyes were full of light. Since Chen Shubao could not kill him, he would have to get benefits by the way. Jiankang has many specialties, but what Shannan needs is the most intimate salt.

When Chen Shubao wanted to recruit him, he took the opportunity to make some small requests and transport a bunch of salt back. Anyway, Chen Guoye's salt farm is not short of this little salt, and he did not lie or deliberately deceive people.

My wife was really occupied by Yuwen Wen! Yuchi Chifan stayed in the empty room for half a year, and I guess he was tossing and turning every night and felt feverish. Isn’t it just tossing and turning to help her cool down?

Zhou Faming struggled for a while and said tentatively: "I think I have to transport the salt from two or three ships back!"

"Two or three ships? How enough! At least twenty ships are available!"

The emperor nodded and agreed to buy whatever he wanted, and buy as much as he wanted. The prefectures and counties along the way were released. If Yuwen Wen didn't take the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, that would be a fool.

"Ah? Then...will I wait enough money?"
