[MTL] I Built a Territory in Ancient Times

Chapter 122

122. Chapter 122

The prince's impression of Song Lian may still be a few years ago, but he doesn't know how terrible a person will become if he changes.

The fate of these two people may never be intertwined again in the future. In the future, perhaps mentioning each other's names will only be familiar and unfamiliar.

Although I don't know what these people are related to, I am sorry that the

capital has always been prosperous and lively, and it coincides with the emperor's Halloween approaching, and the capital is even more festive.

In recent days, there have been many more businessmen in the capital. In the fireworks and willow alleys, and in the teahouses and restaurants, I have heard people mention new words such as "Xiqi Corridor business" and "bidding meeting" from time to time.

Liu Shun in a hurry Went to a restaurant and looked around, someone had spotted him in a corner by the window, "Liu Xiandi, this way!"

Liu Shun smiled, took a few steps over, and bowed to the crowd: "Little brother is late, Don't take offense, everyone."

The person who greeted him earlier smiled and said, "Since you know that you are late, then you will punish yourself three times as a rule."

"Brother Zhao, you know that my younger brother is not good at drinking, but..." Liu Shun complained. Zhao Yan laughed loudly, "Don't we know you yet? I'm used to pretending to cry and sell poverty, who would believe what you said. Don't shirk

, drink quickly!"

After three cups, he sat down and started chatting with everyone.

These people are all businessmen who have just come from Jinling, and everyone knows everything. Hearing the wind this time, no one could sit still and set off for the capital overnight, thinking that the capital was well-informed and could get first-hand news.

They all come from the same place, and naturally they want to huddle together for warmth. Zhao Yan also has some business in the capital. Today, he is the host, and he invites fellow villagers to drink together, and by the way, they discuss the recent Duanwang affairs.

Liu Shun just arrived in the capital, and he came over after receiving Zhao Yan's invitation. Anyway, everyone can communicate with each other if they have news together. By the way, let's see what their plans are.

They are all medium-sized small merchants, and naturally they can't compare to those top merchants. If there is anything they can't support each other, they will only be swallowed by others and there will be no residue left. Therefore, they also have consciousness, and the alliance is strong when several are united.

"You say, is this rumor true? Dayan never did business with other countries in the past, why did the wind suddenly change?" Liu Shun asked after taking a few bites of the food and holding down the wine he had just drank.

They are far apart, almost all hearsay and the like, but the real truth cannot be touched. The rumors this time have spread widely, and if they hadn't done it on purpose, it would have been impossible for them to get the letter. He came as soon as he heard the letter, mainly because businessmen are very sensitive to many news and would rather be the first than half a step behind.

He has just arrived in the capital, and he has not had time to inquire about many things, so he can only ask his doubts here.

Zhao Yan has an advantage in this regard, and he does not hide it. After all, these news can be heard everywhere. He opened his mouth and said, "It's all up to King Duan. I heard that King Duan was a stalker who made the emperor agree to set up a caravan to go out for business."

"King Duan?" He still had an impression of this, he heard At the time of this news, he also laughed at Duan Wang's foolishness to run to the west, which was different from sending him to death. "Is that the stupid prince? King Duan who specifically asked the emperor for the fief of Liangzhou in the west?"

"Shh! Be careful! This is the capital, not a small place like Jinling." Zhao Yan reminded.

Liu Shuncai realized that he was being reckless, and hurriedly slapped his mouth lightly, "Little brother's fault, little brother's fault!"

Everyone didn't care, Zhao Yan smiled and said, "Liu Xiandi, you don't know, the emperor is the most important. The pet's young son has brought back goods from the Western Regions twice. The trend in the capital is not small, and the rare things are the most expensive. Those Western Regions goods are already sky-high prices. The spice mirror is comparable to gold. Everyone is rushing to grab it."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was very excited, and someone asked: "Brother Zhao, what we heard is that in the future, businessmen can go directly to the Western Regions through the Xiqi Corridor to do business, but Really?"

This is a question that everyone cares about, everyone has their ears pricked, and they have heard what the West Side is like. Not to mention that Dayan and Suixi are enemies, and the wars are raging every year. It is a huge problem to travel westward through Suixi. The bandits in Liangzhou alone are so numerous that they can make all the westbound people retreat.

Now there is news that the bandits in Duanwang's fief have almost been eliminated, and they can still enter and exit the Western Regions without passing through the Suixi Kingdom. In this way, the risk can be greatly reduced. If everyone can trade in the Western Regions, they must be well prepared. Of course, those who take the lead can make a lot of money. Haven't you seen how much Ren Duan Wang earns? Others are holding the money and delivering it to the door, for fear of not accepting it!

Zhao Yan nodded, "As far as I know, the news is quite reliable. This matter has already been discussed in the court. Duan Wang overcame all the opinions and took the responsibility with all his strength, saying that there is no need for the court to pay a penny. It's all on his own. Now the courtiers naturally have nothing to oppose, and with the support of the Prime Minister, the emperor has no choice but to decide to agree. Only then did such news come out."

"So, Is it true?" All the people present looked at each other with joy and surprise. Originally, I was afraid that it would be false news, which would make everyone happy, but now that the news is accurate, it can be regarded as a peace of mind.

There are still people who don't believe it, "It costs a lot of money to build a city and a land, and it doesn't require the state treasury to spend. How can anyone have such a strong financial and material resources? How can it be possible with Duan Wang?"

"You don't know, I heard Duan Wang is going to hold a bidding meeting after His Majesty's longevity. It seems that it is for this matter. It is said that the big guy's money will be raised and invested in the future tariffs entering and leaving the Xiqi Corridor and various other profits in the Xiqi Corridor. They will be divided proportionally according to how much each person contributes."

"Tsk! There is such a thing? It's so strange!" ? Can you make people willing to pay for money without seeing or touching things and making empty promises?

Zhao Yan took a sip of wine and looked around. Everyone had different expressions on their faces, but he knew exactly what they were thinking.

He lowered his head and said in a low voice as much as possible: "To be honest, when I first heard it, it was similar to what you thought, but now it is not the same. Let me tell you a reliable news, Ma, Wang, Zhou, Zhu Si and everyone have already started to act."

"Hey! Is this true?" Everyone was a little incredulous. Who didn't know that the four major merchants in the capital were the benchmarks for other merchants. If it was true, then he might be able to take a risk. Follow them, and there is a little soup left, which is enough for these small households.

Zhao Yan snorted and looked around before continuing in a low voice and cautiously: "A distant cousin of mine is a shopkeeper of the Ma family business. A few days ago, the head of the Ma family sent a message to each store to check the silver taels. It seems that I'm just preparing for this." It's

impossible for Zhao Yan to lie about this matter, Liu Shun touched his chin and thought about it for a while before he said: "Brother Zhao, let's catch up with the trip. Wrong?"

Zhao Yan nodded, "That's what I thought. You all know the strength of the four major families in the capital. Since they can all prepare in secret, it means that Shishuo's gift of taekwondo for blowing milk is really attractive. People. If we can catch up with the trip, it would be even better. Although we are not as rich as the four major families, we will join forces to become a whole. I think King Duan will not underestimate us. Anyway, we are rich together. Earnings, why not do it?" When

they joined forces, they would not be much weaker than any of the four major families. Besides, it's not that they haven't teamed up before, when Zhao Yan brought it up, everyone nodded in unison.

"I agree!" Liu Shun was the first to express his stance. It is a well-known fact that the combination is beneficial. It's not a fool. If you fight alone, and you still get so much money, maybe Duan Wang will not look down on him.

Others also agreed that they should also be prepared to see what the tender meeting is about.

Not only them, merchants in other places are also starting to inquire about the news, and they are waiting for Duan Wang's meeting.

In the summer heat, he squinted his eyes and basked in the sun. Not far away is Xie Yixiu, who is sitting quietly reading a book, but I don't know if he has read it or not. The pages of the book in his hand have not been turned for a long time.

This is the temporary post house where Xie Yixiu lived in Beijing. It is an independent small courtyard. Although it is a bit remote, it is better than quiet and elegant.

Shuyu Enzyme∩ has a half-day free time, and came here to hide in peace. In the past few days, many people have been looking for the prince for the goods of the Western Regions, and the prince is not an idler, so it is inevitable that there is something wrong. Those relatives of the royal family who couldn't see the prince, they went to the door to find Shu Su. Eh, they

all knew that these things were brought back to the capital by Shu, although he had already said that he would leave everything to the prince to deal with, but these things It's not all his, just a word from him. Moreover, in their eyes, Shujianjima's caravan said no, and was intercepted by the third prince. Such a person is so foolish, maybe he can get more benefits from him.

With such thoughts in mind, I came to Shujie Nao Chew Cong Banana and Shu Shushu Chao Chao Huang Chang simply escaped.

Of course, he came here to know what was going on in Beijing by the way. After all, it is not very convenient for him to be in the palace. When the rumors were released before, he asked Xie Yixiu to help pay attention to this.

"It's better for you to be quiet and comfortable here." Shu Yuzin said: "It seems that I should buy a small house, and I can't always live in the palace every time I go back to Beijing in the future. The imperial brothers have built their residence outside the palace. It would be very boring for me to be alone in the palace."

Shu Su, Scar and Pseudo aphid, chanting gray chant, yes, if you can have a home that belongs to you, and there is that person in your family, it will be considered Consummation. But now I can only think about it.

"General Xie, what do you think? You don't have a place to live. It's not bad for the two of us to live together. Rented. Xie Yixiu's eyes dimmed slightly, "That's good." Looking forward to it. "

Thinking of being able to live under the same roof with Shu Yu, his heart is in chaos. In this world, only Shu Yanxiong Liao Yiyangna is afraid of Yi.

Shu Yan was slightly stunned when he heard his answer. Suddenly, something came to his mind. When he panicked, his eyes dodged a little, and his face turned red indistinctly.

Then he calmed down again, what's the point of panic? He knew Xie Yixiu's mind, and he promised to give him time. The two of them get along easily and comfortably. Okay. In fact, he also likes the way the two get along, and maybe it will be good for a long time. At least it is better to have someone to accompany than to go alone.

Thinking of this, Shu Shu Pan Shang Lu Chu Emotional matters, let's go with the flow. Maybe the day it comes naturally, he will gradually accept the other party, right?

He can feel Xie Yixiu's fiery feelings, and he knows that his temperament is actually a slow-warming type. If it is not a familiar person , it is impossible to approach him at all.

"General Xie has to be prepared, I have a very strange temper. If you can't tolerate my many shortcomings, I will drive you out at any time! "
