Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi went to the Qinren Commercial Bank early in the morning, and yesterday they had already agreed with several managers of the Qinren Commercial Bank that they would go to the Qinren Commercial Bank to negotiate today.

When they arrived at the Qinren Commercial Bank, Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi entered together, and several stewards of the Qinren Commercial Bank had long been familiar with the intimacy of their two husbands and wives, and they did not dare to be surprised at all, so they warmly invited Chen Wenhui and his wife to sit down.

The chief steward of the Qinren Commercial Bank, who has been in more contact with Chen Wenhui and his wife, introduced Chen Wenhui and his wife: "These are the elders of our Qinren Commercial Bank. They were not responsible for running a business, but were specifically designed to solve problems for the Qin people in southern Xinjiang. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded and glanced at Zhao Chongyi.

Zhao Chongyi understood and said, "Probably you also guessed that our identity is not ordinary. Few caravans can invite the Great Chu military to escort the caravan, and they can completely annihilate the men in black, and besides, the queen has not said anything. ”

These scheming Qin people chief stewards and elders did not expect Zhao Chongyi to get straight to the point.

Several people smiled a little awkwardly. They thought that the Zhao family firm would definitely shirk left and right, and played a few rounds of Tai Chi with them before getting down to business. They're all ready. In the future, their Qin people business house wanted to use the power of the Zhao family's caravan, after all, they did not have their own army in southern Xinjiang, and they had no right to speak, which was very embarrassing, so they wanted to have some contact with the military of Great Chu.

However, they didn't want to lose their autonomy, so they planned to have a good talk with the Zhao family caravan, and they had to put up a good shelf, so that they could have an advantage in future cooperation. Of course, in their minds. The Zhao family caravan will definitely put on a full shelf. Because the Zhao family caravan is not like the Qin people's firm, the Zhao family's caravan is behind the power of the Chu military, which is countless times stronger than the Qin's firm, which has no military power.

However, I didn't expect that the Zhao family firm did not put on a shelf and went straight to the point, which made the people of the Qin people firm, who had already made preparations, a little embarrassed.

The chief steward of the Qin Ren Commercial Bank coughed twice, broke the embarrassment and said, "It is we who have this conjecture. I think. We are Qin people in southern Xinjiang. The people of Dachu are all of the same clan and clan, and if you want to come, the Zhao family caravan is willing to help us. You also know the plight of our Qin people in southern Xinjiang, and their lowly status. Our Qin people firm is also for the life of the Qin people in southern Xinjiang. It's just organized. these years. Although under the Queen. With the help of our Qin firm, the life of our Qin people in southern Xinjiang has been better, but. We are still in a low position, and we have no voice. It is precisely because we have a large number of people, but we do not have an army. After all, southern Xinjiang is the world of Baiyi people, and we live without dignity and freedom. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Dignity and freedom are two words that are only mentioned in southern Xinjiang. Because you are Qin people, not Chu people. The Qin people uphold the inheritance of Emperor Guanglie and yearn for dignity and freedom. However, in Da Chu has been forgotten. ”

This is exactly where Chen Wenhui is sad. Fusu's death took away the little seeds of freedom he had brought. Later, the Liu family established the Great Chu Dynasty, and these seeds of freedom were even more extinguished by Confucianism.

However, southern Xinjiang is different. Great Chu never really ruled the south, so there are still many traces of the previous dynasties in southern Xinjiang. For example, this city of Guangzhou, for example, the words and language left by Fusu, for example, the freedom and dignity that the Qin people yearn for.

The stewards and elders of the Qin People Commercial Bank also sighed. They are of the same origin as Da Chu. However, they have been treated unequally in southern Xinjiang. The Baiyi people have been better in recent years, giving them room to survive, but their status is still very low.

Previously, the rulers before the queen were even more brutal. They treated the Qin people roughly, and the Qin people lived a life of slavery.

However, if they return to Dachu, they will not be used to life. Because the thinking of the Great Chu people is different from that of the Qin people. So, they are in a dilemma.

Zhao Chongyi said: "During this period of time in southern Xinjiang, our husband and wife also knew some of the difficulties of the Qin people in southern Xinjiang. Now, we are showing you a good path. ”

As soon as he said this, the stewards of the Qin people's firm, the elders all thought in their hearts, the drama is coming. They all listened carefully.

Zhao Chongyi said: "I am a member of the Zhao family's caravan, but I am not the manager of the Zhao family's caravan, I am the master of the Zhao family's caravan." ”

Looking at the confused expressions on the faces of several people in the Qin Ren Commercial Bank. He knew that the Qin people firm used to have business dealings with the Zhao family in Jiangnan. They knew who the patriarch of the Zhao family in Jiangnan was, and it was not a young man like him.

Therefore, Zhao Chongyi said: "I, the Zhao family caravan, is not the Zhao family caravan in Jiangnan. I'm from Beijing. My name is Zhao Chongyi. I am the second son of Lao Zhongyigong, the younger brother of the current Zhongyigong, and I myself am the squire of the Great Chu Military Department, and I am a second-grade official. My wife, she is the county lord of Wenhui of Dachu. Maybe you've all heard the name. She is the concubine of the Xiao Chen family, the niece of the current Empress Dowager of Great Chu, and the cousin of the current Empress. is also the governor of Nanyang, the feudal official of Da Chu Zhengyipin. ”

Several people from the Qin Ren Commercial Bank were all shocked.

They thought that Zhao Chongyi was definitely not simple in Dachu. However, they just thought that he was an excellent disciple of Jiangnan Zhao's family with Jiangnan military friends. I didn't expect that the origin of their husband and wife was so big, so big that they couldn't imagine it, and they were so big that they had to be respected by the queen.

A few people from the Qinren Commercial Bank suddenly felt that the idea of preparing to pose in front of others was too ridiculous. What is the status of the Qin people's firm. To put it nicely, it's a big trading house. To put it mildly, it is a guild organized spontaneously by a group of slaves in southern Xinjiang.

With such an identity, where can it be compared with Zhao Chongyi, who is both powerful in Dachu?

A few people from the Qin Ren Commercial Bank, after a short panic, couldn't sit still, in front of such a big man, where could there be a seat for someone like them?

They hurriedly left their chairs, stood tremblingly, and saluted Chen Wenhui and his wife again.

Chen Wenhui and his wife accepted this gift this time. Zhao Chongyi said: "Okay, we are not in Dachu now, but in southern Xinjiang. Let's sit and talk. Then we have to discuss important things, which may be things that can change the fate of the Qin people in southern Xinjiang. ”

Several elders and stewards of the Qin Ren Commercial Bank were suddenly solemn and hurriedly returned to their chairs and sat down. Only this time, they did not dare to sit on the Taishi chair peacefully, but sat reclining, only a third of the chair, as a sign of respect.

Zhao Chongyi said: "The Qin people in southern Xinjiang and our Great Chu people are of the same ancestry, and we don't want to see your life in Miao Jiang so low." However, at the moment, the imperial court will not use troops against southern Xinjiang. After all, we have only defeated the barbarians for such a short time. We need to recuperate, and we need to completely calm down the land in the northwest. Since, our Great Chu can't recover Miao Jiang now, but we can't watch the Qin people in Southern Xinjiang, who have the same ancestry, get angry like this. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "During this period of time, what I have seen and heard is the suffering of many Qin people in southern Xinjiang. The Qin people in southern Xinjiang are hardworking, capable, intelligent, doing business, and cultivating fields, and they are all good hands. However, no matter how much wealth the Qin people in southern Xinjiang had, they could not have no status in southern Xinjiang, and scholars could not become officials. ”

As soon as they talked about this, several elders couldn't help it, and they all talked about the suffering of the people in southern Xinjiang. They can't get through anything, no matter how rich they are, even if they are educated, here, they are always lowly people.

Chen Wenhui and his wife waited for them to finish speaking, and Chen Wenhui said, "Actually, you can return to Dachu." However, the thinking of the Qin people is different from that of Da Chu, and besides, Da Chu does not have any extra land to give you. So, you can only stay here in embarrassment. ”

Several elders hurriedly said: "Yes, we are the free thoughts left by Emperor Guanglie, but Da Chu is Confucianism, which is different from us. Besides, we have lived in southern Xinjiang for so many generations, and it is difficult to leave our homeland. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "Although it is difficult to leave the homeland, this is not a happy land. I've got a good place. It's my Nanyang city. It is not the Confucianism of the Great Chu, but also the place of free thought. You can do business, you can farm. Moreover, it is the territory of our Da Chu. We are the masters. High status. You must have heard that we have vast land in the South Seas for the people to cultivate. There is an active business, there are free schools for children to go to school. There are free hospitals for the people to treat their diseases. ”

Several of the elders were moved.

Chen Wenhui said: "I know your concerns, don't worry, I have already told the queen." Our Nanyang cities will buy a large number of slaves and recruit civilians in southern Xinjiang. When the time comes, the queen is likely to put pressure on your Qin people to let you Qin people go. When the time comes, you will cooperate well with the queen and the officials I sent, and let the Qin people go to Nanyang more. ”

The elders suddenly became excited.

An elder asked, "The county lord still wants to buy slaves from southern Xinjiang?" You must know that most of the slaves in southern Xinjiang are our Qin people. ”

Another elder said, "Yes, the fate of our Qin people is the most miserable. Many of them became slaves of the Baiyi people. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "I know this. Don't worry. After I bought these compatriots back, when I went to Nanyang, as long as they were industrious and capable, they would generally be able to redeem themselves after a year or two. At that point, they will be free people. In the future, no matter how hard I work, make more money, and have a variety of land, I can still become a resident of my Nanyang. In that way, there will be free medical care, free education. It's a good life. (To be continued......)
