The caravan slept in the wild overnight and arrived at Linwu City at noon the next day.

From a distance, Linwu City is still a square city. The old-style rammed earth walls are difficult to withstand the attacks of today's gunpowder cannons and tunnel siege techniques. However, when Linwu City was first built, it was only to resist the rebellious local barbarians, so it did not consider so much.

When approaching the city gate, the young staff officers kept recording the thickness of the city wall and the width of the city gate, and did not deliberately measure it. After that, there was time.

Now that the prince is in the middle of the martial arts world, the investigation is a little stricter.

After entering the city, the caravan went directly to the inn here. Because of its special location, Linwu City is a place where merchants travel from south to north, and the inn is also relatively large.

The person who opened the inn was also from Si Shang. At the beginning, the caravans of the Mo family often came and went, so I discussed with Lin Wujun that I opened a inn here and paid taxes normally every year. Lin Wujun did not object, but was happy.

After settling down, the caravan leader took his men and drove three carriages full of coercine guns to the place where Linwujun worked in the city.

The one who received them was Lin Wujun's private relatives, not those who did not have official positions, but those who were serious small treasurers with official positions.

After several years of inspection, the level was completed and some gold was collected. The remaining ones were paid in copper and deer skin. This was agreed upon before.

Deer skin can be used to make leather armor, and copper can be used to cast cannons. These are military supplies, so they cannot be traded openly because this is illegal. The King of Chu did not allow the monarch to trade leather and copper with the Mo family without permission, but it cannot be banned at all.

A short time later, another visitor came. After greeting the caravan, he said, "The prince and the good husband were patrolling the border on behalf of the king. Lin Wujun was accompanying the hunting, so he could not come in person. There is something I can convey to you."

"Everyone in the world knows that Si Shang has already replaced the flint guns. Can the prices of these flint guns be reduced further?"

"In addition, Linwu is located in the old land of Cangwu, and most of the people in the barbarians rebelled, so it was difficult for Linwu to defend the city, so I hope to buy some copper cannons and flint rifles. The price is easy to negotiate, whether it is copper, gold, or deer skin, saltpeter."

"When the Lord comes back, please come again, and discuss it yourself."

The leader of the caravan hurriedly said, "I cannot make the decision on this matter. Whether to sell or not depends on the shareholders' discussion, and in order to prevent harm and harm to the world, the Ministry of Trade has the final veto power. I can only convey it on my behalf."

"In addition, I also convey some things to you. The Chamber of Commerce hopes that in addition to using some gold, it is best to pay for the next batch of muskets. Once the Lechang Gorge is completed, this batch of rice can be transported to Yangyu. Last year, the wind was strong and the disaster was not small, so a large batch of rice was needed."

The caravan leader knew that the chamber of commerce generally did not trade rice because the profit was too low. Although there was a strong wind last year, the damage caused was not very large.

The guests on the opposite side were very happy to hear this. Although the Linwu area is mountainous and there are several small gold mines. Linwu Jun makes profits in mining, gold is expensive after all.

Apart from gold, there is only the collection of deer skins, herbs, etc. to pay for trade needs, and there is really nothing else to exchange for.

There is a lot of rice, but the South China Sea Chamber of Commerce does not want it because it is difficult to operate and has little profit, which is far less light and valuable than deer skin and gold.

If you can trade rice, it will naturally be very good news.

The two sides talked a few more times, but did not deliver anything written. This kind of trade was shameful. Even if the King of Chu knew that, he would turn a blind eye, and it would not be easy to come out of the way.

After arguing that tomorrow, the caravan members would come to meet Lin Wujun again, they left the gun, took away the gold, and left.

…………

On the side of the mountain outside the city, Lin Wujun was shooting and hunting with Wang Ziliang's husband.

Following Wang Ziliangfu closely was a handsome young man. He was a participant of Wang Ziliangfu. He didn't know what he said, which made Xiong Liangfu laugh. He couldn't help but stretch out his hand to touch the boy's hand.

Lin Wujun watched this scene from behind and felt secretly happy.

As a young man who participated, he bought it from elsewhere. After training for several years, it was because the entire Chu State knew the hobby of Prince Liangfu.

Originally, Xiong Liangfu became the King of Chu after his brother's death and named his male favorite Anlingjun. No one in Chu opposed it, and they all thought it was normal.

When the nobles were strong, many monarchs needed their own male favorites to check and balance the nobles. Although the eunuchs already had them, they did not have the power to compete with the nobles.

Duke Jian of Yan once hoped to rely on his male favorites and his homosexual partners who had been young to seize power to depose the doctor and preach the minister and concentrate on power, but the nobles immediately raised troops to expel him.

As for whether the king really likes male pets or wants to borrow the power of male pets, that is difficult to say.

However, Linwu Jun is convinced that at least the prince's good husband really likes the same-sex people. In addition, the prince Zang has a stable position, and the King of Chu has opened up Dongting Cangwu, recaptured Chen Cai, and fought back against Wei. The royal power is gradually concentrating, and the prince's good husband is not the eldest son, so he does not seem to have any other thoughts.

Although there are rumors that Prince Zang has hidden illness and cannot give birth, no one can say such a thing. Perhaps the King of Chu will learn from the lessons of brothers and the possibility of political chaos. Or perhaps the King of Chu feels that Prince Zang is the best candidate to inherit his will and continue to centralize power and strengthen the Chu State. There is no final decision at this time.

Linwujun trained a male lover to approach Wang Ziliangfu, and he had his own plans. Seeing that the effect was good, it was obvious that Wang Ziliangfu was far more interested in the young men around him than hunting. Linwujun drove closer and asked Wang Ziliangfu to rest.

His entourage brought water to wash his hands, put on many snacks, and a bottle of very expensive wine brought back from the West a few years ago. Although he also brought back the seeds of the grapes, it was not planted on a large scale at this time.

A delicate cup of purlin was placed aside, shining, and several followers were using saltpeter to make ice to relieve heat for the prince's good husband.

Looking at the shiny and expensive 王后 cup, Xiong Liangfu suddenly sighed: "I once heard that Zhou was terrified by ivory chopsticks. He thought that if the ivory chopsticks were not filled with soup in earthen gui, he would have to be a cup of rhinoceros jade. The jade cup would have to be a bean or a hamburger, and he would have to be a leopard fetus. The leopard fetus would have to be a short brown and covered with cucumbers. He would have to be a brocade clothing that would have to be a nine-fold high platform and a wide room. He would have to be a sage. He would have to be a sage when he saw the smallest, and he would have to be a sage when he saw the bottom, so he would have to be a terrifying person. He would have to be a terrifying person and he would have to be a terrified person. He would have to be a terrified person and he would have to be a terrified person."

Lin Wujun's heart skipped a beat. This was the story of Ji Zi meeting King Zhou. There were rumors long ago, but now it was the same scene.

It is impossible to hold sour wine when you use a cup of purse, which is indeed a big deal.

Linwu Jun didn't know how to answer, but the next moment Xiong Liangfu smiled and said, "But when I look at Linwu today, the people are not hungry and tired, they have food and clothing, not lack of food. This is the reason why you govern."

Linwu Jun also smiled and said, "What Jizi said is too terrifying. Some people in the Chu people also believe that the princes and the people should farm and eat together, but they do not know that those who work hard to control others."

"If the people are rich, they will have more resentment; if the people are poor, they will be good at fighting. Only when there is a difference between high and low can the right path."

"This 绿明明明明明明, but the people who use Mo are very generous. What is they willing to use? It is nothing more than that Mo Di was short brown clogs and righteousness in the world. As Mo, those who are Mo had to follow. The so-called sage's foot is like a sage's low-end scholar."

Xiong Liangfu also laughed and said, "The Mo family in Si Shang are mostly hypocritical people. Since we are worms, it does not hinder our trade with us. If he does not produce such a 材Lin Cup, how can we buy it with the so-called "get it without work"?"

While speaking, the young man who was attending the party had already poured the brightly colored wine and reached out to deliver it. Xiong Liangfu laughed and said, "The fruit wine cannot taste if it is iced. I like ice wine the most. Are you trying it enough?"

This is an extremely intimate act and a seduction. Even though I know that Lin Wujun is trying to meet his preferences, I also need to express that I like the favor that Lin Wujun has given me very much.

After the boy tasted it, Xiong Liangfu took a sip and praised it a few more satisfied.

Seeing Xiong Liangfu happy, Linwu Jun turned the topic to the hunting incident just now. After saying a few more words, he finally got to the point.

"When it comes to hunting, I remembered one thing. I had fed a few hunting dogs before, but the servants who feed them always stole the food of the hunting dogs, so that the hunting dogs were not full. Every time they hunt, these hunting dogs would bite their prey and eat them themselves."

"I thought these hounds were unfaithful, but I didn't know that it was not because the hounds were unfaithful, but because these hounds were not full. Fortunately, they could still eat some when hunting. If they couldn't hunt but couldn't eat enough, I'm afraid that one day when I go to lead them, I'd probably have to bite me."

There is something in this, but it doesn't say it too directly, it depends on how Xiong Liangfu answers it.

If you smile, it's a joke.

However, Xiong Liangfu did not smile. After hearing the story, he sighed: "If a dog does this, it is just stealing prey or biting people."

"If the monarch and ministers are like this, they will probably bring turmoil to the country."

"In the past, Shen Gong and Wu Minister were in charge of the witch, but because they did not get what they wanted, they defected to Jin State and taught the Wu people to use chariots, so that the Chu border was in chaos every day?"

"In ordinary things, there are always some truths hidden, I am afraid that these truths will not be noticed and will suffer disasters."

Lin Wujun was secretly happy. Since the prince Liangfu gave the example of Shen Gong Wu Chen, it was just like the news that someone had come to mail him before.

Linwu Jun is talking about the hunting dog, but in fact he is talking about the throne. If Xiong Liangfu responds, he is talking about the throne. If he doesn't respond, he is talking about the hunting dog.

Xiong Liangfu could or could not answer these words, but he not only accepted them, but also took the initiative to bring the topic to the defection of Shen Gong Wu Chen.

Shen Gong Wu Chen defected many years ago.

But now, there are still defections in the State of Chu. At this critical moment, it is inevitable to talk about Qu Yijiu, who defected because of the change before.
