As soon as these words came out, the faces of the four wealthy businessmen changed slightly, and even Cao Zhen, who was the most aggressively opposed, suddenly closed his mouth and stopped talking.

Liang Shuo, who had been watching coldly, cleared his throat and said, "Brother Wei Chi, what you said is the truth? That means that as long as we let you play the banner of our four major families, you can get half of the benefits for nothing? ”

Wang Huaqiang nodded: "Yes, excluding freight and labor costs, these iron ores here are about thirteen or four dollars a catty, Miss An is willing to use the price of thirty dollars a catty, and the extra profits will be divided equally between the two of us, as for the delivery of goods here, it will be borne by my Wang Chamber of Commerce, and it has nothing to do with you, what your bank will do is to use your banner to transport the goods out of Sui and trade with Miss An." ”

A hint of vigilance flashed on Liang Shuo's face: "That means we have to transport the goods out of customs?" ”

Wang Huaqiang said with a smile: "Yes, Cao Xingshou is a hussar general in the city, in charge of the soldiers of a state, and is also responsible for border patrols, while Liang Xingshou is Gu Zang Changshi, who is actually in charge of the local civil affairs. ”

Li Fan, who had been smiling, opened his mouth: "Brother Weichi, maybe you still don't know anything about the situation in Liangzhou. This is an important border town, not like the state in the interior, the hussar general is in charge of the government soldiers, and the long history is in charge of political affairs, above them, in addition to the assassin history, there is also the governor of Liangzhou, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers, directly under the imperial court, and the border patrol is mainly responsible for the governor of Liangzhou. ”

An Suiyu suddenly laughed: "President Li, you are really a noble person, there has been no shortage of transactions between us over the years, the Turkic war horses, the wine and pearls of the Western Regions, and the spices, didn't they all cross the sentry post of the governor of Liangzhou and enter the Great Sui smoothly?" There are also a lot of silk silks and silks that you have shipped out of the country. ”

Liang Shuo said coldly: "Miss An, those are legitimate commodities that can be operated legally, but iron ore is strictly forbidden by the imperial court. It's not the same thing at all, and we don't risk exterminating our families just to make a little money. ”

Wang Huaqiang secretly scolded these people in his heart for being really profiteers, he was obviously moved just now, and he deliberately said this in order to strive for a better bid, but anyway, he bragged that he would not be taxed, so he might as well continue to increase the price, and he didn't believe that these people would not let go.

So Wang Huaqiang said to Liang Shuo with a smile: "Liang Xingshou, the current governor of Liangzhou is Yu Qingze, a general who used to be the right servant of Shangshu and sent an envoy to the Turks, this person is famous, but he has already been fed by you, and he has always turned a blind eye to your smuggling business, even if you smuggle iron ore, he will not tear his face with you for this, but the price is higher, isn't it?" ”

Li Fan laughed: "Brother Wei Chi, you seem to have a clear understanding of the situation, in that case, why don't you do this business yourself, and you go and feed Yu Qingze yourself, how about it?" ”

Wang Huaqiang shook his head: "Zai Xia and Brother Liu have special identities, they are both noble children of Daxing, and they have no friendship with Yu Qingze, if they look for Yu Qingze directly, I am afraid that he will really take them down for the crime of treason." And if your chamber of commerce makes a move, then Yu Qing will at best only think that you are taking risks and want to make a fortune, except for asking for a little more money, it should not be able to turn against you.

President Li, the ban on the trade of pig iron in this dynasty is mainly aimed at the eastern-Turkic headquarters in the northern steppe, and there is a lot of iron ore in the Altai Mountains in the western regions, in fact, this ban here is useless, and Yu Qing also knows this. ”

Liang Shuo sneered: "Wei Chiqin, you are really a lotus flower, since there are many iron ores in the Western Turks, why do you still smuggle this thing out from me?" Why do you want to use us as a cover? ”

An Suiyu's eyes wandered, and he smiled at Liang Shuo: "Liang Xingshou, don't say this to Brother Wei Chi, you don't know that Datou Khan is guarding against transporting iron ore to the steppe to the east, which is much stricter than your Sui Dynasty, after all, the two of them are still fighting every day." With such a large amount, I don't have such a strong relationship in the Western Turks as Brother Wei Chi, so I can't get it. Aren't you going to make it easier in this matter? ”

Liang Shuo originally thought that An Suiyu was just playing the role of an introduction, but he didn't expect that An Suiyu had such a deep relationship with Wang Huaqiang and actually became a de facto ally, so he couldn't help but be slightly stunned and speechless.

An Xinggui had reached a consensus with An Suiyu in advance, and when he saw that the atmosphere was a little stiff, he hurriedly laughed and said: "Brother Liang, Yu'er and Brother Yuchi had a meeting when the imperial court sent an envoy to the Turks last time, when Brother Yuchi smuggled 300,000 catties of iron ore out of the customs, which moved Yu'er and his brother.

Now that the history of Daizhou's assassination has changed, it is not easy to get out of the customs from there, so I want to pretend that we are aunts, and I came to discuss this matter with you today. ”

Liang Shuo then understood, and sneered: "Brother An, since you have already negotiated with them, won't it be over if you do this under the banner of your An family, and what are you going to do with us?" ”

Li Fan smelled a little gunpowder from the air, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Brother Liang, Xinggui doesn't want to eat alone, so he will come to discuss with all of us, before summoning you and Brother Cao, he told me that our four major families have always advanced and retreated together in Guzang, and of course you can't be left behind in such a big matter." ”

Liang Shuo glanced at Wang Huaqiang and said to Li Fan: "Big brother, since you came to convene us for a meeting, it means that you have agreed to Brother An's plan, and you want the four of us to take turns to take the flag to be in charge of the escort." ”

Li Fan smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's still the old rule, let's vote first." He looked up at Wang Huaqiang and An Suiyu, and said, "Two, we have to set a result, please go out first." ”

Wang Huaqiang's heart began to have thoughts churning, when these four major families joined forces to deal with their grandfather, they must have voted like today, as if he saw the four faces on these seats laughing wildly because of pride.

But Wang Huaqiang's face was calm as usual, and after saluting, he walked out of the living room with An Suiyu, and several guards outside the door led them out of the large courtyard and went to another side hall to wait.

There were only four businessmen left in the living room, the iconic smile on Li Fan's face disappeared, and he turned his head to Liang Shuo and said, "Brother Liang, there is no need to be so tough on the surname Wei Chi, I'm afraid we have to make this deal." ”

Liang Shuo's face was still gloomy, and the cold glint in his eyes flashed: "Big brother, this kid's origin is suspicious, back then, we clearly found out that he was a member of the Wang family in Xinfeng County, called Wang Huaqiang, and he still had something to do with Wang Shiji, the general of the Zhuguo Dynasty, why did he become surnamed Wei Chi today, I always feel a little strange." ”

Li Fan sighed: "It doesn't matter if his surname is Wei Chi or his surname is Wang, the important thing now is that An Suiyu's little girl believes in him and is willing to make this deal with him, we all know the ability of their brothers and sisters, if we refuse this matter in person, I am afraid that it will be impossible for us to smuggle and sell goods to the Turks in the future." ”

Cao Zhen said dissatisfiedly: "Big brother, are we just at the mercy of these two brothers and sisters?" Without them, we wouldn't be able to walk the Silk Road to the west? Hmph, I don't believe it, none of the four of us have an old relationship of hundreds of years, even if we throw away their brothers and sisters, or even throw away the Datou Khan, it is not impossible. ”

An Xinggui smiled and said: "Brother Cao, don't worry, if you want to mess up the Western Turks, or even get rid of the Datou Khan, it's not impossible, with the strength of the four of us, as long as you are willing to pay, are you afraid that you can't find someone who is ambitious for the Khan?" There are many four-legged white-eyed wolves on the grassland, all staring at that sweat position. Just to see if it's worth it? ”

Li Fan nodded: "Brother An is right, if you want to change the grassland to a friendly Khan, not to mention the support of tens of millions of dollars, and at least three or five years, when the war in the Western Regions is still frequent, I am afraid that the Silk Road will be isolated, and our business will also be greatly affected, and the gains will outweigh the losses." ”
