Chapter 70: The Origin of the Business Alliance
In the past two days, Yiyandang's income is very considerable, and Lede Xiaoyi has been saying on the sidelines, if only it could be like this every day.
But how can it be that simple, it's just that there are indeed a lot of people who use it to identify things in the past few days, and they are all valuable things, and one appraisal is almost a few hundred taels of silver, so busy that Nan Xun doesn't have much time to prepare a small cake for Wen Lao.
It wasn't until the third day that Kaoru finally made a few boxes of small cakes.
So early in the morning, Nan Xun brought his things, hung a sign at the door that was closed for a day, and prepared to take the little one and the second to see Wen Lao.
For the sake of safety, Nan Xun also asked Xiao Yi to quietly park the carriage in the backyard, and let the big one quietly get into the carriage in case he encountered any more robbers on the road.
As soon as Qiē was ready, Nan Xun let Xiao Yi drive the carriage to the residence of tens of millions of Wen Lao.
For many years in my freshman year, I have been in a building with a word, and I used to quietly look at the scenery outside from the window.
This time it finally came out, although the freshman did not agree at first, after all, Nantian asked a few of them not to say a word, of course, it is not that they can't come out for a lifetime, Nantian just let them stay until Nan Xun gets married, and before that, try not to appear in front of outsiders.
It's just that this time, Nan Xun was robbed last time as an excuse to let him follow, and he couldn't refuse in his freshman year, so he followed.
I have to say that freshman is really an incomparably trustworthy person.
If you are an ordinary person, you have been in the house for more than ten years, and you must be very curious about everything when you go out, but the big end sits on the side and does not squint. is so patient that Nan Xun sighs.
"Freshman, how many days have you been, and you haven't said a word, do you want to see the scenery outside!?" Nan Kaoru asked on the side, a little distressed in his tone.
"No need," the freshman returned, "Miss doesn't have to worry about us, a few of us are upstairs, and we can see a lot of scenery in the city, as for this wilderness, it's already good if there are no bad people, how can there be any light to see, can ensure that Miss is safe all the way, I am very content." ”
His father really left himself an extremely reliable person, Nan Kaoru sighed on the side.
All the way to the door of Wen's hometown, the freshman was like this, and he didn't have any interest in the scenery outside.
Nan Xun got out of the carriage and looked left and right, there was no one, so he said to the freshman: "Freshman, you can come down too, there is no one around here, let's go see Grandpa Wen together." ”
"Hmm." The freshman agreed, got out of the car, looked left and right, nodded and followed Nan Xun to Wen Lao's hut.
At the door, Kaoru Minami knocked on the door.
Wen Lao's voice came from inside the house: "Who, the door is not closed, come in." ”
"Grandpa Wen, it's me." As he spoke, Nan Xun pushed the door and entered, and saw Wen Lao sitting at the table with a teapot and looking at it carefully.
"Oh, it's you," said Wen Lao with a smile, "I wonder who cares so much about my old man." ”
"Grandpa Wen." Xiao Yi and Xiao Er also stepped forward and shouted, putting their things down on the table.
The freshman arched his hand and said, "Old Wen, it's good to come in!?" ”
"Well," Wen Lao looked at the freshman and nodded, "Freshman, I've suffered you all these years." ”
"It's nothing," said the freshman, "the lives of several of us belong to the Nan family, so what's not bitter." ”
"Sit down," said Wen Lao, ready to get up, "I'll go get some cups." ”
Xiao Yi hurriedly said: "Grandpa Wen, you sit, this little matter, let's do it." ”
As he spoke, he turned and took out a few cups from the wooden cabinet in the corner of the room.
Several people immediately sat down around the table, and Kaoru opened the cakes and snacks, and everyone chatted while eating.
"Girl, there must be something wrong with this time." Wen Lao said.
Nan Kaoru nodded and said, "There are a few things for you to show for you." ”
"Haha," Wen Lao smiled heartily and said, "You girl, what kind of good treasure have you gotten, let me take a look." ”
Nan Xun lowered his head, lifted a wooden box from the ground, took out a small cardboard box from it, handed it to Wen Lao, and said, "Let's take a look at what this thing is!?" ”
"Oh, look at this, there's more than one thing, good, good, the more I like the old man."
After speaking, Wen Lao reached out and took the box, opened it and looked at it, his eyes were obviously a little weird, and then, he reached out and took out a token from the carton, pouted, and said, "Girl, you are using this thing to fool my old man." ”
With that, he threw the token on the table.
"How dare I fool you," Kaoru said, "I really don't know where this thing came from, so I had to let you take a look." ”
"You don't know!?" Wen Lao paused for a moment and asked, "How can you not know, well, even if you don't know, then how can you not see that this is an iron lump, and the workmanship is average, and there is no value." ”
"I can see it, but I really don't know where this thing came from."
"I really don't know!?"
"I really don't know."
"This is the Shangmeng token, and it is also a lowest-level iron token, which has no value."
"Business Alliance Token, what's it?!" Nami Kaoru asked.
"It seems that you really don't know, I said, how can this Shang Alliance not give you an iron token, even if your father passes away, he used to be the great elder of the Shang Alliance, how can he give you a silver token." Wen Lao said, "In this way, after your father left, the Shang Alliance didn't contact you!?" ”
"No?" Nan Xun asked, "Grandpa Wen, what the hell is this business alliance?!" ”
"Shang Meng, ......" Wen Lao took a sip of tea and slowly talked about the origin of Shang Meng.
The origin of the Shang Alliance can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when the princes were in dispute, the world was in turmoil, and some wealthy merchants joined forces to form the Shang Alliance, aiming to help each other and keep their family business in this turbulent time.
Later, with the development of the business alliance, there were more and more members of the business alliance, so to speak, almost all of the wealth in the world was gathered, and its strength should not be underestimated.
As a result, the business alliance began not only to be satisfied with protecting itself, but also began to devote itself to maintaining the stability of the world, after all, a stable world is conducive to the business expansion of the members of the business alliance.
At the same time, in order to maintain the stability within the business alliance, the business alliance established the Elders' Cabinet, which is responsible for formulating and supervising the behavior of the members of the business alliance when the world is peaceful; If the world is in turmoil, it is responsible for finding people with lofty ideals who have the ability to dominate the world, giving them money, and letting them recruit troops and buy horses, so that they can dominate the world.
Almost all emperors have received more or less support from the Shang Alliance.
Moreover, the first iron law of the business alliance is not allowed to engage in politics.
This also made many emperors feel at ease to accept the support of the Shang Alliance, which is also the cornerstone of the Shang Alliance's standing for so many years.
Knowing that in the last years of the Great Sui, the Shangmeng made another deal, which brought the Shangmeng to the top.
