The Human Emperor (1-200)

C63: Clan Head of Cheng Clan

The hindrance on the middle of their way was just an insignificant hiccup. After Wang Chong handed over a thousand gold taels to the other party, Wei Hao didn’t say anything either.

Setting forth from the Bluebottle Pavilion, Wang Chong brought Wei Hao, Shen Hai, and Meng Long to a tavern to have a hearty feast and drink, celebrating their triumph.

After which, instead of returning back to the Wang Family Residence, the carriage took a detour around the capital before arriving at the lodging of the two Sindhi monks, the White Agate Jewelry Shop.

“Masters, here is a total of 37000 gold taels! I will put it here with you first. As for the rest of the payment, based on our previous agreement, I will send it in the form of rations to Sindhu. What do you think of it?”

Wang Chong looked at Ablonodan and Arloja and passed the 37000 gold taels in the room of the duo. The dazzling pile of gold at the corner of the room was extremely striking.

“Of course! Of course!”

The two Sindhi monks were delighted. It was the final day, and they had secretly sneaked to spectate at the sword duel gamble at the Bluebottle Pavilion. However, since they were in the midst of the crowd, they weren’t spotted by Wang Chong.

For an ordinary piece of Hyderabad ore, after being forged into a sword, to be sold for a few thousand, even reaching thirty to forty thousand gold taels. Furthermore, at the very end, Wang Chong was even unwilling to sell the sword. This matter was inconceivable to the duo.

It had truly expanded their worldly horizons!

Wang Chong’s capability had impressed the duo. Just a moment ago, they had written a letter to the High Priest of Sindhu, strongly recommending them to work together with Wang Chong!

Even if Wang Chong was unable to fork out the 90000 gold taels now, they were still willing to collaborate with him.

Working with such a talent would allow them to raise the price of Hyderabad ores to the maximum. He was exactly the ideal collaborator Sindhu was looking for, a figure whom even the Abbasid Caliphate and Charax Spasinu couldn’t compare to.

Seeing the duo agree to his request, Wang Chong chuckled. Everything went exactly as his plan. As long as the two Sindhi monks approved the matter, he would have sufficient time to go slowly from now on.

Besides, changing the several tens of thousand gold taels into rations and shipping it to Sindhu to solve the famine was an issue as well. This was a huge project that would take a significant amount of time and manpower.

After solving the matter regarding the Hyderabad ores, Wang Chong had to settle this one next.

“Masters, I don’t think I will use the 300 jun of Hyderabad ores for now, so I’ll leave it with you two. Also, I don’t have sufficient manpower and I believe that the Hyderabad ores will be coveted by many in the future. May I know if we were to reach an agreement, can the two masters remain behind to assist me?”

Wang Chong asked sincerely.

“Coveted?!”

Wang Chong’s words seemed to have struck a chord in the Sindhi monks. Arloja’s body jolted and his eyebrows flew up. His dark, lean body suddenly exuded an astonishing might, causing Shen Hai and Meng Long to retreat uncontrollably in shock.

“I would like to see who would dare to covet our Hyderabad ores. Gongzi, rest easy, leave the Hyderabad ores with us. We will keep them safe!”

The both of them spoke authoritatively. The Hyderabad ores affect the livelihood of tens of million of people in Sindhu, and everyone was depending on the profit from the Hyderabad ores for rations to solve their famine.
