"Quack--quack--", a few geese flew through the blue sky, leaving only a few soft chirps.

Lee Seung-ji stands on the high ground of the former Sadr Palace, now the Governor's Palace in Khorasan. When he heard the sound, he unconsciously raised his head. That's the northwest direction, and that's where the geese go.

In my heart, I suddenly felt a little heavy inexplicably.

Looking at the thin letter in his hand again, the corners of his mouth showed a little wry smile.

I have to say that the sudden changes that have taken place in Mongolia have really made him feel like a head start.

Because in his impression, there would be no accident with Li Dali and Yarawachi on the Mongolian side. But now it seems that he still thinks everything is too simple. Even if there is a lot of money as bait to get closer to the Mongolian aristocracy. It doesn't mean that everything is worry-free.

Just like this time, it was Da Liao who had been ignoring him all along.

It is true that it is a court official within Daliao who is dissatisfied with his father.

Not only in the border trade land, let the border army disguise themselves as horse bandits, and killed the merchants under the name of the Li family firm several times. He also looted commercial goods on a large scale, so that for nearly a month, the Li family trading house on the Mongolian side could not open.

In addition, there are also many spies mixed in within the commercial bank. Not to mention stealing the confidential affairs of the trading house, he also stole the account books. The matter of trading important weapons in the army with the Mongols was also leaked.

In fact, this matter was handled by him. Although his father Li Shichang knew, he didn't say much. Because the things in the army that were traded were all old things that were replaced in the Great Liao army.

Instead of putting it in the treasury, it will rot into scrap metal in vain. Why don't you sell it to Mongolia and make some money.

It is also to narrow the relationship with the Mongols, so that the Li family firm can enter the Mongolian upper class society as soon as possible. And the tentacles of power are planted in the decision-making level of Mongolia.

Therefore, the matter of weapons was exchanged for the trust of Mongolia.

And because he was the brother of the worshipper, and his father Tayanggu, he had a high prestige in the army, and even won the trust of Yelu Zhilugu. Therefore, the old things that have been replaced can be easily obtained.

took advantage of this relationship to get a lot of things in the army. Immediately, he not only got closer to the Mongols, but also was able to exchange money for the Daliao official army. The best of both worlds, everyone is happy.

This was not without precedent before that.

Like his predecessor, he also misered the history of the assassin, and under the pretense of returning to the hands of the crane merchants, he sold a large number of military goods to Mongolia. And he was obsessed with money, and sold all the armor issued by the imperial court to the local garrison.

Later, it was known by the imperial court, and there were only a few words of application, but there were not many words.

Therefore, Li Chengji also subconsciously thought that this matter was not a big deal.

But judging from the news that Li Dayi sent back from Balasagon a few days ago. Someone wants to make a big fuss about this.

If that's all there is, Lee Seungji won't be too worried. Because he knew that his father was not a fuel-efficient lamp either. Otherwise, he would not have controlled the government for so many years without being close to the saint.

However, when they learned that the Hui merchants on the Mongolian side also gathered, Qi Qi and the Li merchants were behind enemy lines. In his heart, he couldn't help but be a little worried.

After all, there is only one person who can gather these returning merchants, in the entire Great Liao, and even in the entire surrounding areas of the Great Liao.

That is Abdul, a well-known wealthy businessman --- Daliao.

Although because of the demotion of Mahmut Tebai, he lost his greatest reliance. However, there are many returning officials in the court, and they are still his dependence. In addition, the dignitaries and dignitaries of the Manchu Dynasty have a good relationship with them.

So Abdul's life was not as sad as he imagined.

And this person is still quite interesting!

After Mahmut was demoted to a commoner, he kept a low profile. In recent years, because Li Chengji became the governor of Khorasan, he sat in the river and sold shops on a large scale. The entire business of the Western Qarakhanid was also almost empty.

David Gurion, who was under the command of Lee Seungji, had to cling to the fat in front of him. And for the business on Balasagon's side, maintain the status quo

It's also limited energy!

The business in the river was enough for him to keep busy. Considering Balasagon is really limited.

In addition, Li Chengji also saw Abdul's prestige among the Hui merchants, and he didn't dare to force it too hard. For the time being, he let it go and went all out to manage the river.

Unexpectedly, this person turned out to be a dog that bites people and does not bark.

The suddenness made his business in Mongolia unsustainable. Like those Huihui businessmen who worked with them not long ago. All of a sudden, no more trading with them. This made the situation of the shortage of goods in the commercial banks due to the robbery of horse bandits even more tense.

And in Mongolia, the Hui businessmen even let go of their cruel words in Mongolian Nayan. If anyone has business dealings with Lee's firm, then all returning merchants will never have dealings with them from now on.

You must know that Hui Shang was the first merchant to travel to and from Mongolia. Their influence in the upper echelons of Mongolia should not be underestimated. Although the Li firm came to the fore later, it attracted many Mongolian nobles. But in the end, the time was still short, and the Mongolian nobles were limited.

And at that time, there was no one with a reputation like Abdul who stood up! Therefore, in the face of Li's firm's involvement in Mongolia, they fought separately.

As a result, the Lee firm expanded very rapidly.

But now, the Hui Shang has been twisted into a rope at Abdul's call. Not only did they reject the Li firm in business, but they also lobbied the upper echelons of Mongolia for the harm of the Lee firm. Even Yelu Ahai, who had a good relationship with the Li firm, began to be slandered.

This kind of pressure is very great for Lee's firm.

Although Lee Seungji's main purpose is not to do business. Otherwise, when trading, they would not deliberately buy and sell weapons to bring them closer to the Mongols.

But the pretense of a trading house is the best disguise for seeking intelligence. If the firm is unsustainable, then on the surface, there is no need to exist.

For this reason, Lee Seungji has secretly decided. After this incident, the matter of gathering information from the business firm must be completely entrusted to the Affairs Division. And secretly built in the shadows, so as to avoid the tree big wind.

However, what he is most worried about at the moment is the relationship between Abdul and Yelu Zizheng and others. In the end, the timing of Abdul's choice to attack the Li firm was too coincidental. Therefore, he was suspicious of the connection between the two.

Just then, Rabi Rasi came upstairs. Seeing Li Chengji's figure, he immediately said loudly: "Governor! Da Liao's side-over there--news has come. ”。

Li Chengji immediately retracted his mind and turned around. After taking the letterhead from Rabi Rasi's hand, he opened the package. The doubts on his face have disappeared.

(Thank you Sky Mengjing for the tip.) It was too late last night, and I caught a cold directly. Now lethargic and only one chapter left. ）
