"I see! Merchant so terrible? Under the persuasion of impermanence, Qi Huan Gong finally became enlightened.

said: "If the merchant controls the world's commerce, then! No matter how good you are, you can't develop. For example! We are Qi country! Rare ores from the Chu State are needed. If we didn't communicate indirectly through Bai Gui, a merchant, we wouldn't have gotten this ore. The consequence of not having this ore is that we can't smelt better weapons.

If we don't communicate with Bai Gui, a merchant, to buy the rare ores of the Chu Kingdom? So! We can only do this by establishing good diplomatic relations with the State of Chu! So! If the state of Chu takes care of us, we will die! Isn't that the truth? ”

"Yes! Yes, too! Impermanence nodded and smiled.

"But! If our Qi country also has the materials that the Chu country needs, for example! We also have an ore in the Qi country, which is also needed by the Chu country, so! It's easy again! We exchange! Such! There is no contradiction between the two sides. For the sake of their own interests, they can come to an agreement.

So! As you just said! Why did the small vassal states perish so quickly? In the Great Zhou Dynasty, there used to be more than 200 small vassal states. Later, only a hundred remained. And now? There are only thirty or forty left.

Why did the small vassal states perish so quickly? Here's why! There are not enough resources in their country! In the event of a natural or man-made disaster, they have to rely on the help of others. And in this era of princes competing for hegemony, natural and man-made disasters in your country are the best time for other countries to eliminate you.

So! The shrewd king of the small vassal kingdom chose the alliance. And those stupid kings, who have always been arrogant, have always been closed and independent, and in the end! In times of natural and man-made disasters, no one helps, and thus leads to destruction......"

"Yes! Yes, too! Impermanence smiled.

I thought: The son can be taught!

"So! We need to take the initiative! Firmly grasp the giant merchant Bai Gui in his hands! He's ours! It's not from Wei! He is a merchant of our Qi country! Qi Huan Gong said, raised his right hand, and clenched his hand into a fist, looking like he was grasping it firmly.

Then he said: "Bai Gui's brother-in-law Linyi! He is also a merchant of our Qi country! ”

"Yes! Yes, too! Impermanence looked excited and said.

"So!" Qi Huan Gong stopped talking, looked at impermanence, and asked seriously: "Wu Lao!" So? What's next? ”

"This?" Impermanence was in excitement, waiting for Qi Huan Gong to continue. Outcome! Qi Huan Gong turned the topic to him and asked him what to do? Caught him off guard. Quickly withdrew the excited smile on his face and became serious.

"I think the approach of no old man is still right! Tian Rong's approach is too merciful! Oh, yes! We are a country, I am the king of a country, how can I speak to him as an equal as an ordinary person, a businessman? So! Suppress him while he has not yet had the ambition to dominate the world! Take control of him! Isn't it? Ageless? Qi Huan Gong asked.

"Yes! Yes, too! Impermanence then continued: "Since Tian Rong Tian Xiang brought Bai Gui's wife and children to Qi Jun, then give Tian Xiang a face!" ”

"Give? Give Tian Xiang face? Qi Huan Gong suddenly felt puzzled again? "What did we do before?" Isn't it a toss? ”

"Hehehe!" Impermanence smiled: "There is no tossing in vain!" Lord! ”

"Didn't toss in vain?"

"We don't want to release Bai Gui's wife and children to give Tian Xiang face, but! Treat her with courtesy. And then! The Lord understands! Put her under house arrest in the Qi Palace, and then! Naturally, Baekyu will come to talk to us! Hehehe! ……”

"This? So? Qi Huan asked, "What about Linyi?" ”

"Hehehe!" Impermanence smiled: "Linyi is a fool!" He doesn't know! What is the secret of his success? It was with the support of our Cheetah team and the support of Qi Jun that he was able to open inns, inns and wine shops in the country of Qi and the Great Zhou world! Did he think he had succeeded?

He doesn't want to think about it either? Who is the business of his inn and liquor store? It's all our Qi people who go to consume! Without the support of our Cheetah team, his inn and liquor store can make money? And also! It's the same with his warehouse! It's all our Cheetah team who have opened small grocery stores in various places to make business boom? ”

"I see?" Qi Huan Gong was a little suddenly enlightened.

"The Lord will let Tian Xiang do this! 'Invite' Linyi to the palace and tell him: Without the motherland as your backing, you can't succeed! So! Don't forget your roots! It's easy to make you rich, but it's a matter of minutes to make you bankrupt! ……”

Under the instruction of impermanence, Qi Huan did so and let Tian Rong deal with this matter. Invite Linyi into the Qi Palace, and then send someone to send Linyi's family back to the mansion. And Bai Gui's wife and children were temporarily "invited" into the harem and treated as princesses.

Tian Rong took Linyi to Qi Palace, Qi Jun's study.

"Lord! Linyi has been brought. ”

"Sinners come to the Lord to see you!" Linyi kowtows to see you.

"What sin are you? Get up! Get up! Sit! Qi Huan sat at the back of the desk and raised his hand to signal.

Several small supervisors hurriedly stepped forward to wipe the test case or prepare tea.

Under the guidance of a small supervisor, Lin Yi trembled and came to the side of the case and sat down.

His clothes were changed in the Qi Palace just now. What I am wearing now is the clothes prepared in the Qi Palace. In the Qi Palace, a lot of clothes were prepared, just to change for different characters. There were linen and satin. Depending on the status, clothes of different fabrics are given.

Linyi is a big businessman in the Qi country, so he naturally wears silk.

"Linyi is a businessman of Qi State, and he should serve Qi State, Linyi is not effective in handling things, and he did not urge Baigui to sell horses. So! Linyi is guilty! ”

"Hehehe! You are not guilty! There is no sin! Just say this to you! You are a businessman of the Qi country, and it is enough to serve the Qi country! If all the people of this prince are like you, then! How strong should the Qi country of this duke!

Linyi! These are extraordinary times! So! You have to be more considerate! We are Qi country! What is needed most now are horses! Isn't it? The importance of horses, I don't need to talk about it, right? We want horses in the country! The more the merrier!

Right now! I have appointed you as my envoy! Go to Zhongshan Country again and find Bai Gui! Find your brother-in-law! We're going to buy horses! The more the merrier! Price! Say! If he gives us the benefits of Qi Kingdom, then welcome! If he is not willing to give up profits, we will give as much as he sells to others! We are Qi country! It's a real purchase! Isn't it? ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Linyi is willing! Lin Yi said, preparing to leave his seat to thank Qi Jun.

Qi Huan Gong stretched out his hand to stop you and said, "You are injured, we will arrange a carriage for you and a few attendants." Other than that! I'll also give you a doctor to treat your injuries......"
