Li Qingxiu converted it in her mind and found that 400,000 points was equivalent to 400 taels. She spent a total of more than 200 taels on this mission, but she did not expect to make a net profit of more than 100 taels.

It used to make her feel distressed, but now that she can earn more than a hundred taels, she is naturally very happy, and the yield of all the fields she owns has also increased threefold.

As soon as the snow-capped mountains of Lihua Valley disappeared, what appeared in front of everyone was the scene of spring in various mountain ranges.

Listening to the cheers of the crowd, Li Qingxiu felt that even the air in the sky was much sweeter.

Compared to the vibrant appearance of the Lihua Valley deep in the mountains, the interior of Shinshu City was bleak.

Xinzhou City is even more depressed than it was a few months ago, and there were still a few shops open for business.

Now all the shops on the entire main street are closed, and there are no ordinary people there. There are only soldiers in twos and threes patrolling back and forth.

There were not many people left in Xinzhou City because of the war. When the eternal night just fell, many people took advantage of the chaos and ran out to seek survival elsewhere.

So after these few months, Xinzhou City is almost like an empty city. Now the most people in the city are soldiers and a few wealthy businessmen who want to share the merits of Conglong.

The study room in the backyard of Xinzhou County Magistrate’s Office...

Lin Zhe, who was at the desk, stood up suddenly after reading the letter in his hand.

His eyes were full of panic, disbelief, and resentment, and finally turned into a roar of indignation, and he overturned all the objects on the table to vent the anger in his heart.

Finally, his eyes fell on the letter that he tore in half. He really couldn't believe that Prince Zhao's Palace would be defeated.

Moreover, all the cities captured before were recovered by the new emperor, and now only Xinzhou City is left.

He didn't even believe that his father actually ran away with his third son, leaving him alone to guard the empty city.

The most abominable thing is to let yourself think of ways to get food and money for them. Then find a place to hide and wait for their notice.

Lin Zhe sneered, wondering if his father's wishful thinking was too good...

Yu Xiao was startled when she heard the movement in the study, and quickly asked: "Master, what happened?"

When Lin Zhe heard Yu Xiao's inquiry, he quickly calmed down his emotions, took a deep breath, and tried to calm down his mood.

He knew in his heart that this matter must be suppressed, otherwise if it spread, it might affect the morale of the army. Maybe those people below would hand him over in order to curry favor with the new emperor.

"It's okay, it's just some family matters." Lin Zhe tried his best to sound calm.

Although Yu Xiao was a little confused, seeing that Lin Zhe didn't want to say more, she didn't ask any more questions.

He guessed that it must be because of the Third Young Master's matter. Maybe the Third Young Master had won another battle on the front line, which was why the Second Young Master was so angry that he broke things to vent his anger.

Yu Xiao, who thought she had guessed the truth correctly, sighed helplessly and continued to guard the door boredly.

Lin Zhe sat back at the desk again, but his heart was in turmoil. He knew that the defeat of Prince Zhao's Mansion was certain, and it would be difficult to defend Xinzhou City.

But what he hated even more was his father's partiality and ruthlessness, which actually took away the third child and abandoned him, leaving him to face the difficulties alone.

Lin Zhe pondered for a while and decided to solve the urgent problem first. Raising food and money are two things that naturally need to be done, and they must be completed quickly before any news of the matter leaks out.

All this must be for himself first. No matter what happens in the future, he will still need a lot of money to maintain his life.

So, he summoned Yu Xiao and asked Yu Xiao to take his name tag and invite Zheng Feng and the famous rich people in Xinzhou City to visit him. He was going to hold a big banquet tonight.

After Yu Xiao accepted the order, he bowed and exited the study. Before closing the door, he glanced at the mess on the ground.

Look, he guessed right. Only when the Third Young Master is involved will the Second Young Master be able to control his temper.

At night in Xinzhou City, although the streets were deserted, the magistrate's mansion was brightly lit and bustling with activity.

At the banquet, there was a lot of toasting, and Zheng Feng and the wealthy businessmen of Xinzhou City toasted to Lin Zhe.

Lin Zhe responded to their toasts with a smile, but he was very clear in his heart.

He knew that the reason why these people were so respectful was not because of him, but because they were afraid of the power of Prince Zhao's Palace.

But now, Prince Zhao's palace has been defeated, and he must make a fortune before the news of his father's defeat leaks out.

After drinking for three rounds, Lin Zhe felt that the time was almost up, so he cleared his throat and pretended to be happy and said: "To be honest, everyone, I invite you here today because I have a happy event to tell you."

When Zheng Feng and the wealthy businessmen heard this, they all stopped and looked at Lin Zhe, with curious and attentive expressions on their faces.

Lin Zhe smiled and continued: "My father won the battle on the front line and captured several cities."

Upon hearing the news, the banquet suddenly burst into cheers. Zheng Feng and the wealthy businessmen raised their glasses to congratulate Lin Zhe.

Yu Xiao, who was waiting on the side, was also very proud. His guess was absolutely correct. Sure enough, it was the third young master who won the battle with his own prince, and his second young master became so angry.

Lin Zhe was also secretly proud, knowing that these people had taken the bait. He continued: “However, the continuous wars have also led to a shortage of food, grass and money.

For the future of all of us, we need more food and money to support the war ahead. Therefore, I hope that you can donate generously and contribute to my father's sake and yourselves. "

The wealthy businessmen all looked at each other. They were still wondering why the second young master suddenly wanted to entertain them. It turned out that this was the purpose.

At this time, they all felt hesitant. The natural disasters were so weird and capricious that everyone had been losing money in the past few months, and one or two companies were even almost unable to pay their wages.

But they had already chosen to seek refuge with King Zhao. Now that King Zhao was short of money and food, they had to help him no matter what.

The wealthy businessmen all thought so, and the Zheng family, who wanted to marry Lin Zhe, would not let go of this opportunity.

At this time, Zheng Feng stood up with a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Second Young Master, King Zhao is a wise and powerful man. This victory is really a great joy. Our Zheng family is naturally willing to contribute a small amount to the war ahead. I will send someone 10,000 taels of silver and 1,000 kilograms of rice.”

When the other wealthy businessmen heard this, they looked at each other again. They were indeed the richest people in Shinshu. Under such circumstances, the Zheng family was still so generous.

Lin Zhe looked at Zheng Feng with satisfaction, a smile on his face. "Brother Zheng really understands justice. On behalf of my father, I would like to thank the Zheng family for their generosity." After Lin Zhe finished speaking, he raised his glass and toasted to Zheng Feng.
