Chapter 142: Futu Chamber of Commerce

Prince's Mansion.

Shangguan Wan'er frowned slightly, flipping through the memorials about the disaster victims outside the capital.

As the disaster relief envoy appointed by Li Zhao, Shangguan Wan'er borrowed the disaster relief method written by Lin Chen and did a good job.

However, under such a stable and improving situation.

In recent days, a thorny matter broke out.

A prefect of the capital sent someone to report that the Wuyou Cave rats hiding in the underground of the capital had taken action.

The previous failure of the Five City Army and Horse Division to eliminate them made this group of lawless people more arrogant, and they felt that the court could not do anything to them.

The original behavior of begging beggars and kidnapping women and children became more rampant during this period.

You must know that there are already hundreds of thousands of homeless disaster victims outside the city.

These Wuyou Cave rats can find a good reason to let the disaster victims follow them.

As for what the fate of these disaster victims who followed them will be, no one knows.

But according to the past, once someone entered the Wuyou Cave, they never came out again.

Especially now that winter is approaching, the rats in the Wuyou Cave have become more and more active for no reason.

So much so that in the area where the Wuyou Cave rats are infested, every household has closed their doors and windows for fear of being targeted.

"So, Wan'er, do you want to do another round of suppression?" Lin Chen nodded thoughtfully.

Shangguan Wan'er heard this and asked this question instead.

"Can the Wucheng Bingma Division be used?"

It can be said that Lin Chen can make a fortune now, thanks to the former Wucheng Bingma Division commander who is not very useful.

"Of course it can be used."

Lin Chen saw a hint of worry in Shangguan Wan'er's tone, and couldn't help laughing.

Just kidding.

Although he served as the commander of the Yulin Guard, Li Zhao still did not revoke Lin Chen's position as the commander of the Wucheng Bingma Division.

So Lin Chen also has to take care of the daily work of the Wucheng Bingma Division, such as patrolling the city defense and deterring the scoundrels.

Now the actual number of soldiers under the Wucheng Bingma Division is 5,000!

These 5,000 people are retired from the Yulin Guard. Most of them are injured and can no longer maintain a high-intensity battle formation, so they come to the Wucheng Bingma Division to be relatively idle soldiers.

Even so.

These soldiers who have experienced the bloody battle with the White Lotus Sect are definitely not comparable to the Wucheng Bingma Division in the past.

"I see that your majesty intends to transfer the new Wucheng Bingma Division to the new commander-in-chief, otherwise..." Shangguan Wan'er hesitated.

The implication is that she intends to hand over the troublesome matter of Wuyou Cave to the next commander-in-chief.

"It doesn't matter."

Lin Chen knew that Shangguan Wan'er was considering him, and he smiled and shook his head while feeling warm in his heart.

"A group of rats who don't see the light, it will be easy for me to wipe them out!"

Lin Chen, who teased Shangguan Wan'er, leaned on the palm of the beautiful woman next to him and was a little dishonest.

Of course.

He got a charming roll of eyes from Shangguan Wan'er, and then was slapped away.

Not today, she still has many things to deal with.

Lin Chen was not annoyed, and held Shangguan Wan'er's free white jade hand.

Her skin was crystal clear and delicate, and her slender jade fingers were like white jade carefully carved.

I have to say.

The woman in front of him seemed like a perfect person created by Nuwa.

Lin Chen and Shangguan Wan'er were affectionate for a moment, and then left the Prince's Mansion reluctantly.

He also had a lot of things to do today.

"It seems to be the last day, I have to go to the Futu Chamber of Commerce to take a look." Lin Chen's eyes flashed with a thoughtful look.

After all, if I miss it, it will take three months.

As for the matter of Wuyou Cave, Lin Chen didn't take it to heart.

"But... you can let Murong Fu go to clear Wuyou Cave." Lin Chen suddenly thought of something, and a hint of playfulness flashed across his face.

In order to be more trusted by Lin Chen, Murong Fu, who used the alias Wang Fu, tried his best.

As the chief secretary, he was busier than Lin Chen, the commander, all day long.

To outsiders, Murong Fu was showing off his ability.

But Lin Chen knew that Murong Fu must have been instructed by Zhao Kuangyin to be a confidant and traitor beside him.

Speaking of Zhao Kuangyin, he didn't do anything today, just training the Beijing camp and training soldiers.

But this made Lin Chen smell something unusual.

This Song Taizu was not a quiet person.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen shook his head imperceptibly.

"Forget it, let's go to the business house first and explore this mysterious Buddhist Chamber of Commerce!"

Not long after,

Lin Chen rode to the most prosperous place in the city, Jinghai Langfang.

He looked at the quaint shops around him, as well as the land with a height of seven feet, which was almost twenty meters.

This land with a rather grand and extraordinary decoration was called Yihongyuan.

Lin Chen looked at the men coming and going at the door, and the women dressed up at the door, with a look of interest in his eyes.

He had finally traveled through time once, so he had to go and see a place like a brothel.

But thinking of his business, Lin Chen withdrew his gaze.

"Next time."

The business district in the capital covers a large area and is divided into twelve corridors. Each corridor sells different goods!

For example, some corridors specialize in pawnshops, and some corridors have caravans from foreign races.

This made Lin Chen feel that this business district had the flavor of a modern super department store.

He took a look at the address of the Futu Chamber of Commerce marked by the system, and then walked to the center of the business district.

"Dinglingling!"

A group of Arab merchants pulling camels passed by Lin Chen.

When these turbaned, dark-faced Arabs noticed the military officer uniform that Lin Chen was wearing, they couldn't help but show awe in their eyes.

For these traveling merchants, they knew how difficult it was to deal with Li Tang officials.

Naturally, Lin Chen had no interest in finding trouble with these foreign merchants, and he came all the way to the place where the Futu Chamber of Commerce was located.

Just look!

The cowhide tent was built with only a small opening, revealing the flickering candlelight inside.

Apart from anything else, the mysterious atmosphere was full.

Lin Chen noticed the guards standing at the door of the cowhide tent, and a strange look appeared on his face.

One was wearing the knight's plate armor of the Western Middle Ages, and the other was dressed as a Persian soldier in Central Asia, with a scimitar across his waist.

This dress reminded Lin Chen of the system's introduction to the Futu Chamber of Commerce.

A mysterious caravan wandering around the world.

This look is worthy of its introduction.

Lin Chen got off his horse and walked calmly towards the Futu Chamber of Commerce.

As he approached, the clay-like attendant finally responded.

"Stop!"

The attendant dressed as a knight spoke in pure Central Plains Mandarin.

Not something born by your mother.

However.

After seeing the ghost on Lin Chen's face, the man's face changed slightly, and the hand that was stretched out to block the way turned into a polite invitation.

"It turns out to be Lord Lin, please come in!"

Lin Chen saw this and glanced at a parchment scroll quietly placed in his backpack.

There were lines of dense Persian characters written on it, and the signature was three Chinese characters: Lin Chenjia.

Obviously, this was the guest certification of the Futu Chamber of Commerce.

Seeing this, Lin Chen saved the effort of taking out the certificate.

...
