The queen said gently: "Since Steward Zhao is unwilling, forget it." However, the day after tomorrow there will be a feast in my palace, and in the evening, when the time comes, the chiefs of the tribes will come to attend. It's better for Steward Zhao and his wife to come too, and when the time comes, I can get to know a few more friends in southern Xinjiang, and it will be better to do business in the future. ”

This is exactly what Zhao Chongyi and his wife want, and they hurriedly thanked and agreed.

The banquet continued, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, but Princess Ram kept a calm little face.

After returning to the inn, Zhao Chongyi said excitedly: "I didn't expect it to be so smooth, it seems that we will be able to get that thing the day after tomorrow." I just don't know, what's in the box this time. ”

Chen Wenhui frowned and said, "I always feel that we are going too smoothly, as if something is wrong. ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "Whatever, anyway, we will see the day after tomorrow." Ignore that for now. We let the four of them get acquainted with the water and the terrain for the two days. The two of us also have to take the steward to the Miao Merchant Bank, the Bai Nationality Commercial Bank, and the Teng Nationality Commercial Bank. Wouldn't it be a double win if you could get that thing and open a trade route at the same time? It's not in vain that we travel thousands of miles. ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it, even if she felt a little unsafe, but things were already like this, and she could only see the tricks.

In the next few days, Zhao Chongyi and Chen Wenhui not only went to the Miao firm, but also went to the Teng firm, the Bai firm. Of course, their goods have long been divided between these three firms, and these three firms are still unsatisfied, and Zhao Chongyi assured them that the next trip to the Zhao family firm will not be led by him. Instead, his uncle led the team, but there will still be this kind of top-level goods transported to southern Xinjiang, and when the time comes, it will definitely trade with the Qin people's firms, the Miao firms, the Teng firms, and the Bai firms.

In this way, it can be regarded as satisfying these four major commercial houses. However, what makes these four major commercial houses most satisfied is the behavior of Chen Wenhui and his wife sweeping the goods. The precious collections that have been stored in their warehouse for many years have been swept away by Chen Wenhui and his wife. Do the math, Chen Wenhui and his wife sold all the goods of Da Chu. The profit has already doubled. Not only did he not take a penny back to Dachu with interest, but he also bought the specialties of southern Xinjiang. This was not enough, Chen Wenhui put in another hundred thousand taels of silver.

Although this transaction was divided by the four major commercial banks, it was because of the huge amount. Or let the four major commercial houses make a lot of money.

Of course. Such a huge deal. The rumor still leaked out. The aristocrats, merchants, and authorities of the entire city of Guangzhou all vied with each other to form this powerful and wealthy merchant of Chu.

In the headquarters of the Blue Clan. The patriarch of the Blue Clan, the Great Elder Lan Ling, the Patriarch Lan Si, the eldest son of the Patriarch, the first warrior of the Blue Clan, Wu Lilan, and several elders of the Blue Clan are deliberating.

Lan Si is a middle-aged man with a strong build, his wife is none other than Lan Ling, the great elder of the Lan Clan, and their eldest son is the first warrior of the Lan Clan, Wu Lilan. Wu Lilan said at this time: "The queen still likes the Chu people as always. ”

Lan Ling sneered and said: "It's not because the Chu people are rich, the Chu people have beautiful silk and exquisite porcelain, because of the trading with the Chu people, the queen has made huge profits." ”

Lan Si said: "We are friendly with the Yi people, and the two families have always advanced and retreated together. This time, the four major trading houses that traded with this Zhao family caravan all made huge profits. This made our allies the Yi clan also moved, and they were also entrusting the relationship with the Zhao family and wanted to make a deal with the Zhao family's caravan. This makes us angry. I've written to question the patriarch of the Yi tribe. ”

An elder of the Lan clan said, "I have a friend who sued me that within the Yi clan, there were also disagreements because of this huge transaction. The elders of the Yi clan who are towards us Lan Clan insist on not trading with the Zhao family caravan. However, there are also some elders who see the money and feel that there is no benefit in forming an alliance with our Lan Clan, and they want to give up this opportunity to make money, and they have already begun to oppose the Yi Clan Patriarch. The patriarch of the Yi tribe is also anxious now. ”

Wu Lilan said angrily: "Qian, Qian, Qian, they all only look at money, have they forgotten the ancestors of our Baiyi people?" Forgot our great god? Forget our blood feud with the people of the Central Plains? Those Qin people, we have always advocated that they become slaves of our Baiyi people, but the queen has to defend them every time, now, they are more and more populous, more and more rich, in the future, one day, our southern Xinjiang will become the world of the Qin people, at that time, we Baiyi people will not be able to live in the city of Guangzhou, will be driven to the deep mountains and old forests. When that time comes, see what that money can do for them. ”

Lan Ling looked at his son happily and said, "My son is right, those who are bent on money are short-sighted. How can we, self-reliant Baiyi people, give up our faith for the sake of petty profits? ”

Lan Si frowned and said, "That being said, but our clansmen are also greedy for this transaction, these huge sums of money, if our clan can also get it, will do a lot of things, and the life of the clansmen will be much better." Now, we don't get the money, but the four comptoirs do. The distance between us and them will grow larger and larger. ”

One of the elders said, "Yes, without money, our soldiers have no way to change their weapons." Without money, our soldiers could only wear rattan armor. However, you see, the soldiers of the Bai and Teng tribes are all wearing iron armor, and when they fight, we are much inferior. How will you compete with them in the future? ”

As soon as he said this, he attracted a lot of approval: "Yes, our Lan clan still held the power of the palace in the previous generation, and since we were defeated by the queen, the strength of our Lan clan has been declining day by day. The strength of the Teng and Bai tribes is getting bigger and bigger, and the troops are getting stronger and stronger. If this continues, when the next Baiyi people elect the king of the palace, our Lan clan still has no chance. ”

Speaking of this topic, Lan Ling suddenly became excited: "Why don't you have a chance?" How are their troops, their weapons, their armor? It's all about the commanders. Can that stupid Ram princess of theirs compare to my Ullilan? My Wu Lilan is the number one warrior of the Lan Clan, and he has never been defeated in challenging various tribes, including the Teng and Bai tribes. Can they compare with us? ”

Speaking of this, the elders present couldn't help but have courage in their hearts, indeed, Wu Lilan's kung fu is the highest, and he is the number one warrior in Southern Xinjiang, and that weak Princess Ram cannot be compared.

Lan Ling took in everyone's expressions and said with great satisfaction: "No matter how rich the Teng and Bai clans are, their heirs, Princess Ram, will marry us Wu Lilan in the future." If Princess Ram is unwilling to teach Ullan, there is also the second princess, Princess Chem, who can marry Ullan. At that time, Wu Lilan is the heir of the Lan clan, the Bai clan, and the Teng clan, and this throne is not Wu Lilan's? As long as Wu Lilan becomes the king, our Lan clan will take power. We will slaughter those Qin people and take all their assets into the possession of our Lan clan, won't we be rich? What do you want? ”

As soon as he said this, everyone became excited. An elder frowned and said, "His Highness Ram has made it clear that he will not marry Wu Lilan. Although His Royal Highness Che Mu likes the Ullilan. But His Royal Highness Chem is not the heir. ”

Lan Ling got angry again when he mentioned this and said, "Don't worry, as long as Ram is dead, Che Mu will be the heir." ”

Lan Si frowned and said, "Ling'er, you have sent elite clansmen to attack Ram several times. We've lost a lot of good hands, and the result? Ram did not return to the city of Guangzhou without any problems. For this, our Shaocheng forces were suppressed, and I was called accountable by the queen, this matter has not ended yet, what do you want? Assassinating Ram in the city of Canton, that's unlikely, right? ”

Lan Ling said with a gloomy face: "Hmph, the attack was originally foolproof, because the Zhao family, the merchant of Da Chu, was destroyed, and we missed the best opportunity to attack. Then it's a little harder. But I've got a way to do it, and I'm going to succeed. You don't care. This time, I'm not going to use our elite. You can rest assured. ”

Lan Si didn't make a sound when he heard it.

Wu Lilan frowned. Lan Ling said: "My plan is to carry it out, but that businessman of the Zhao family can't let it go. It's better to have a chance to teach him a lesson. ”

Lance said: "Now they are the queen's guests, and the queen is very protective of them, and we Lan clan have no chance. ”

Lan Ling said, "Hmph, how about the good protection? Wu Lilan, I heard that in a few days of the palace feast, there will be a ring match. When the time comes, you will challenge that Zhao Steward, kill him in the ring, and see what else the queen has to say. ”

Wu Lilan immediately said, "Mother, this is a good idea. I'm afraid that Zhao is in charge and won't go to the ring. ”

Lan Ling said: "Don't worry, I will force the queen." The queen will definitely think of putting that Zhao steward on stage. All you have to do is kill him in the ring. ”

Wu Lilan said proudly: "Don't worry, mother, when have I ever let you down?" ”

Lan Ling looked at his strong son and was very satisfied.

Lan Si looked at his strong wife and son and did not speak. He is still very confident in his son's combat power. Those elders were very happy and said, "If that Zhao steward is killed in the ring, and the Zhao family's caravan is leaderless, we can stop them in Shaocheng." Or to stop them in the Lingnan Mountains. In this way, their huge wealth will belong to our Lan clan. Then this huge deal, the winner is ours. ”

Lan Si thought about it for a while, smiled happily and said, "Yes." Even if the queen escorts them, she will only send them to the Lingnan Mountains, and we will do it in the Lingnan Mountains, which are not under the control of Dachu or Southern Xinjiang, and we will definitely be able to get this wealth. Hmph, when the time comes, the wealth of the four major trading houses will belong to us, what a good thing. ”

The room burst into laughter. The leaders and elders of the Blue Clan all felt that the future was very bright. (To be continued......)
