“…and that happened.”
“… oh my,”
Kwak Gyung, the party leader of the Peace Merchant Group, was shocked.
“Are you saying that you won over the co-operation of the Beast Palace?”
“Yes.”
Baek Cheon’s calm reply made Kwak Gyung almost lose his mind.
‘I don’t think it is a lie.’
But that didn’t change the fact that it was absolutely unbelievable.
It had been over a hundred years since the Nanman Beast Palace banned trade with the Central Plains. Because such a huge money pot was at stake, the merchants of Sichuan had been trying to change the mind of the people of Yunnan for decades.
However, despite all their efforts that had persisted for a long time, they couldn’t overcome the stubborn decision of the Beast Palace.
‘But these young Taoists had done it?’
“Well, then… what about the tea trade?”
“From now on, all trade with Yunnan will happen only through Mount Hua.”
“Now, wait! Please wait for a moment, then we…!”
Baek Cheon glanced at Jo Gul. Jo Gul put on a smile and said.
“We haven’t forgotten the grace of the Peace merchants who brought us here. Any merchant group under the banner of Mount Hua can freely come and go from Yunnan.”
“Ah…”
A look of relief appeared on Kwak Gyung’s face.
‘This is definitely not normal.’
Those who bore the name of Mount Hua could now freely move in and out of Yunnan. This meant that Mount Hua would have complete control of the Yunnan-Central Plains trade in the future.
In other words, in the future, Mount Hua could take advantage of their exclusive rights with Yunnan and control the trade in the Central Plains as they wished.
The Yunnan Tea Trade generated huge profits, and the merchants who couldn’t participate in it would obviously be pushed out of the competition.
‘Now isn’t the time to talk back.’
He had to notify their Merchant Group Head so that he would be able to take suitable action.
‘More than anything else…’
Kwak Gyung looked at Jo Gul.
’The second son of a merchant who is based in Sichuan.
It wouldn’t look good for Mount Hua to move directly into Sichuan, so they would employ an agent. And that agent was more than likely to be Jo Gul’s father.
Kwak Gyung, who had finally composed his thoughts, lost his complexion.
“Congratulations. You have obtained a huge deal.”
“It was nothing.”
“So… we need to head back to Sichuan. When were you thinking of heading back?”
“But our work here isn’t done…”
“It is fine then. We can go back from here ourselves.”
Kwak Gyung’s head was spinning.
He knew that it was important to build relationships with Mount Hua.
‘It would be great if I could take them directly to the Head.’
