"A few days ago, the maritime merchants in Yangzhou also wanted to cooperate with me, I don't need to say that I should know what they are looking for me to do, to be honest, the cooperation conditions they proposed are so rich that it is difficult to refuse, does Lu Lang know why I will refuse them?"

Lu Qing shook his head, the Lu family basically had no industry in the south, so he didn't know why the maritime merchants wanted to cooperate with Zhen Qian.

Lu Qing didn't know, but Wang Jian knew how strong the huge industry of maritime merchants was, his eyelids jumped, and he snorted coldly: "A group of businessmen who are greedy for huge profits and don't know whether they live or die, don't mention it!" ”

From Wang Jian's tone, I can hear the deep disgust, if ordinary businessmen make scholars love and hate, then people like maritime merchants can make scholars feel uncomfortable even at a glance, and when they mention maritime businessmen, they can only be described as disgust, so Zhang Tianbao These maritime merchants are so low-key in Yangzhou.

It's a pity that Zhen Qian is not a scholar of the Tang Dynasty at all, and he has a kind of praise and even admiration for the adventure and bravery of maritime merchants in his bones, so he naturally regards Wang Jian's words as the wind in his ears.

"The Lu family can participate in the business of Zuixianlou, or they can buy soju from Zuixianlou, as for a deeper level of cooperation, it depends on our future cooperation and then decide, this is my bottom line, if the Lu family is willing, they can directly send someone to contact the shopkeeper of Fanyang Zuixianlou directly, how about it?"

Lu Qing just acted as a microphone for the Lu family, and the two were not ready to talk deeply on this issue, but also to avoid Wang Jian's embarrassment, and ended the topic at the point.

Zhen Qian found an excuse to walk out of the private room, Wang Tianxing stood at the door, followed Zhen Qian to another secluded private room, and said in a low voice: "Wang Jian and Lu Qing just arrived in Yangzhou the day before yesterday, and live in Wang Bo's house. This is a portrait of the people who are following us today, and one of them is indeed a Hengzhou accent? ”

Looking at the several portraits of Wang Tianxing spread on the table, everyone knew each other, so he grabbed the portraits and threw them into the brazier next to him and said, "Did you hear what Wang Jian said just now?" ”

"I heard you, what now?" Wang Tianxing bowed and said.

"If you can't hide, you can only delay time, and if you can't do it, you can only wait and see what happens!" Zhen Qian said helplessly.

Wang Tianxing really couldn't understand what the secret spy was mixed with? After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Then is this matter related to the secret spies spying on us?" ”

"Now it seems that the two should have some connection, maybe there is something wrong with the glass treasure mirror we presented, which makes people suspicious, so we will send secret agents to spy on us?"

Wang Tianxing scratched his head and said, "It's just a mirror, can you use such fanfare?" ”

Zhen Qian said angrily: "The value of the thing depends not only on itself, but also on the person who buys it, I saw that Feng Wannian was worried about the things of the court, so I casually did him a favor, and I felt a little impulsive afterwards, if it was to give a glass bead, I am afraid that the secret spy spy would not appear ......."

Thinking of the nonsense he made up at the beginning, what is the glass treasure mirror of the Great Qin Hu people in the west falling into his hands, and he can't exchange it for two cities, if these words are said to a businessman, I'm afraid he will be crazy with joy, the problem is that this story reaches the ears of the emperor, and things become complicated, and then think about He's Bi, if the world is full of the same treasure jade as Shibi, can it make Qin and Zhao have disputes?

Zhen Qian is not a sentimental person, since the incident has happened, there is no point in saying anything, the county man of Luquan County is not bad, with a knighthood can make himself safer, as long as he pushes the official away, and when he disappears from An Lushan's sight, how can the world be so big that there is no place for him to hide?

When Zhen Qian was really worried about the affairs of the official, he didn't know that there was still a group of people who were trying their best to help Zhen Qian, seeking an official he couldn't even dream of!

Fujiwara sat cross-legged on the mat with a cloudy face, and after listening to Kibi Shinbei's words, he said, "What? For Zhen Qian, why didn't you discuss this matter with me in advance? ”

"I'll talk to you!" Fujiwara Qinghe's eyes suddenly glared at Fujiwara Shuxiong fiercely and said: "Pay attention to who you are talking to, this matter was originally not intended to be told to you, telling you is because you invited Zhen Qian, I hope you are mentally prepared in advance, not here to ask for your opinion."

Seeing Fujiwara's incomprehensible appearance, Kibi Zhenbei explained: "Zhang Tianbao and these maritime merchants wooed Zhen Qian, the purpose is just to step on two boats, such a good opportunity, Zhen Qian has not put forward the request to borrow a maritime merchant to cross the sea to the Japanese country, don't you think too much?" ”

Fujiwara Shuxiong quickly reacted and said, "Zhen Qian doesn't believe in these maritime merchants? ”

"Very likely?" Ji Bei is really ready to play with the taste: "Zhen Qian is a person who rarely knows what is going on in the Tang Dynasty, and even knows the affairs of the maritime business better than the old officials of the city for many years, such a person was ready to leave the Tang Dynasty through the maritime business, and after meeting the maritime businessman, he was hesitant not to make a request, isn't it strange?" ”

"So Zhen Qian already knows?" Fujiwara was shocked.

"I'm afraid it's not so bad, the longer we stay in Yangzhou City, the more likely it is that Zhen Qian knows, if Zhen Qian doesn't want to use these maritime merchants to go to the Wa Kingdom, what do you say?"

Fujiwara Shuxiong slammed his fist on the wooden plank, and the envoy who was originally scheduled to return to China in the first month of the new year had to be postponed to February because of the damage caused by the strong wind last year, which means that the envoy to the Tang Dynasty would stay in Yangzhou for more than a month.

"But will the Tang Emperor agree to appoint Zhen Qian as the deputy envoy to send Tang Ying? We rejected the Tang Emperor's dispatch of Taoist priests to the Wa Kingdom, what if it was self-defeating? Do you want to promise the Tang Emperor to send Taoist priests to the Wa Kingdom? ”

Fujiwara Qinghe said, who had been waiting for Fujiwara Shuxiong to finish speaking: "Zhen Qian already has an official body, and Abe Zhongmalu is a native of China, and he was appointed by the Tang Emperor as the envoy to send Tang Ying, which is not in line with etiquette, if Zhen Qian is allowed to serve as the deputy envoy to send Tang Ying, there will be no problem." As for the matter of the Tang Emperor sending Taoist priests to the Wa Kingdom, I have discussed with the envoy, and this matter is absolutely impossible, but the next time we send an envoy to the Tang Dynasty, we can let a member of the imperial family come to the Tang Dynasty to pay tribute, presumably the Tang Emperor will agree to let Zhen Qian serve as the deputy envoy to send the Tang Dynasty! ”

Fujiwara Shuxiong was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped: "Send members of the imperial family to study in Datang?" ”

"His Majesty the Emperor has actually intended to let a member of the imperial family come to Datang to study for a long time, and we are just using this matter as a quid pro quo! The Tang Emperor will also agree to this matter for the sake of face......", Kibi Zhenbei laughed.
