"Mozi, you're really greedy! A thousand taels of silver for just one jar of seasoning..."
"Do you want it or not? Don't put it down! It's such a long way, who knows when it will be delivered! I'm already being generous by giving it to you at cost price!"
"No way! My retainers have been grumbling for days. If you don't give me this seasoning, they're going to shamelessly come to your camp for meals. I'm a fourth-rank general, I can't afford to lose face like that!"
Qin Yumu quickly ordered his men to take the seasonings away, then clung to Qin Mo's arm with a sly smile. He had figured it out now; if he acted properly with Qin Mo, nothing would get done, he had to be shameless.
"What are you up to now? I know you're up to no good just by looking at that smile..."
"Hehe... Mozi, your troops are all using Type 3 rifles now... Sell me a few hundred of those muzzle-loading rifles that you've replaced!"
"Yu Mu, it's not that I don't want to give them to you, but I promised to give them to someone else. Isn't that Shao Gang selling muskets everywhere? Why don't you buy one from him?"
"What a load of rubbish! Those are duds. When the Empress was in charge of the royal workshops, even the slightest flaw in a musket would have it reworked. Now, they're all being sold for money. The day before yesterday, Marquis Boye bought two hundred of them, and before he even had a chance to use them, one of them exploded and injured someone."
Seeing Qin Yumu's resentful look, Qin Mo had no choice but to back down: "I can only give you two hundred. I really promised someone!"
"Mozi, those weapons in your supply depot... were they sent to Suyab City?"
"Hmm! What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"No problem, no problem, but are you really treating Mrs. Xu like your mother-in-law?"
"...Yu Mu, what nonsense are you spouting? Do you know how much trouble these words will cause Her Majesty the Empress if they get out?"
Qin Yumu shrank back, opened her mouth for a long time, and then said with some grievance, "I was talking about Wang Yuyan, not Her Majesty the Empress. Do you think I'm the kind of person who spreads rumors?"
"Ugh!... I think you're just a gossip!" Qin Mo cursed angrily, trying to hide the slight panic in her heart.
