An Suiyu's face changed, and he asked in a deep voice, "Why do you say this?" ”

Wang Huaqiang's heart was like a mirror all of a sudden, nodded, and said with a smile: "It couldn't be simpler, Mohe Khan is brave and good at fighting, even the first warrior of the steppe Apo Khan was attacked and killed by him, how could Datou Khan defeat him in the battle array." But Mohe Khan is the biggest supporter of the Sui Dynasty on the grassland, and the Sui Dynasty also spares no effort to support him, and even sends troops to help him attack Apo Khan, which is probably not in line with the interests of your An family. ”

An Suiyu gritted his teeth and said: "Anyway, now that we are allies, there is no need to hide this matter from you, yes, we did this thing, because Mohe Khan is already a lackey of the Sui Dynasty, and it is impossible to help Kedun take revenge." Mohe Khan was secretly shot to death by Dulan Khan from behind in the battle array, and this qiē was our secret arrangement, so after Dulan Khan ascended the throne, he was able to quickly join forces with Kedun to attack and kill Qin Yushe and sit firmly on the throne of Khan. ”

Wang Huaqiang sighed: "I see, you are really hands and eyes, I am afraid that you will kill Mohe Khan, and it is not entirely to repay the kindness of Kedun, during the period of Mohe Khan, the trade between the Turks and the Sui Dynasty was okay, so that you, who are mainly engaged in business in the Western Regions, have no future, right." ”

An Suiyu smiled slightly: "Don't say it so clearly." Of course, if you establish a new dynasty, we can shift the focus of our business from the Western Regions to the Central Plains, and then everyone will take what they need, wouldn't it be right? ”

Wang Huaqiang laughed, he had already asked what he wanted, and he didn't want to continue to dwell on this issue: "Okay, for the sincerity of your Miss An, I also have to show something, iron ore, 500,000 catties a year, when the time comes, after I negotiate with the local tyrants in Guzang, I will find a way to transport it here, and they will trade with you, and you will give them money according to the transaction price in Daizhou this time, and the settlement between me and them will not be concerned." ”

A hint of disappointment flashed on An Suiyu's face: "500,000 catties? Can you have more, how about a million catties? The Khan's Iron Cavalry Elite is built as soon as possible, and we can also dominate the desert as soon as possible to help you succeed. ”

Wang Huaqiang just casually said a number just now, anyway, it is impossible to really realize, hearing An Suiyu say this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong: "What are you doing in such a hurry for iron ore, even the daily necessities on the grassland have to be deducted, this iron ore has to pass through the territory of Datou Khan, will he promise you to transport these things to the east?" ”

An Suiyu smiled: "Datou Khan still doesn't know about the deal between us, so we have to hurry up to complete this deal before he hears the news, and when Dulan Khan's power is strong, sooner or later he will have to start a war against Datou and reunify the Turks." Only then will we have enough strength to become your foreign aid, do you still want to continue to drag it out? ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled, it seems that the brothers and sisters of the An family are not on the side of Datou Khan, businessmen are profit-seeking, whoever can bring them the most benefits, they will fall to whom, and it is precisely this that this pair of shrewd, but self-righteous brothers and sisters will fall into their trap step by step and fail.

"Miss An, you also have to know that if you make too much iron ore, it will also arouse the vigilance of the imperial court, I also want to make money with guò, but I can't take too many risks, 500,000 jin is basically our limit, at most, grit your teeth and get 200,000 catties, a total of 700,000 catties, no more."

An Suiyu's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, she picked up the clay pot and wine jug on the table, poured a glass for herself and Wang Huaqiang, raised her glass and said, "Brother Wei Chi, for our cooperation, cheers." ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled, raised his glass and touched it: "Happy cooperation!"

Three days later, in the reception hall of the deep mansion compound in Guzang City, Wang Huaqiang changed into a fine silk dress, wore a scarf, and dressed as a scribe, and sat at the door of a rosewood round table, and on the other side of the round table, sat four people of different fat and thin, Han and Hu.

In his forties, dressed in blue, with a rich face and a hat, he looked like the head of the Li family, Li Fan, the current president of the Guzang City Commercial Bank Association.

Sitting on the left of Li Fan was about thirty, with a gloomy face, white skin, and Liang Shuo, the head of the Liang family, who was also a long-standing Guzang, wearing a red silk gown, with two iron galls in his hands, showing an old age that was not commensurate with his age.

On the left side of Liang Shuo, there is Cao Zhen, who is sitting with a black face, nearly forty years old, and looks fierce and fierce, who is now the head of the Cao family, but his honor may be because he has also taken up the position of the hussar general in the city, so he looks more like a general than a wealthy merchant in the city.

On the right side of Li Fan, there is a man in his thirties, wearing a round hat, with two mustaches on his mouth, slightly upturned, and a shrewdness between his eyebrows and eyes.

An Suiyu was dressed as a businessman, sitting next to An Xinggui, and her expression was also strict at this time, and she did not have the playfulness of an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl at all.

Li Fan laughed and said to Wang Huaqiang: "It turns out that my brother's surname is Wei Chi, and he is actually a famous subordinate of Liu Lang in Daxing City, no wonder you were so bold when you opened a shop here before last, so you are in Xinfeng's home?" ”

Wang Huaqiang had already prepared, these people must have also gone to Xinfeng to touch their own bottoms, so they simply planned it, and laughed: "That's just a prop to hide my identity to the outside world." Wang He once received the kindness of our Wei Chi family, so he covered for me, and this identity was also convenient for me to come out to do business and contact other like-minded righteous people. ”

Cao Zhen, who had a black face, said coldly: "Wei Chiqin, I don't care if you are surnamed Wang or surnamed Wei Chi, don't forget, my current identity is the hussar general of the Great Sui in Guzang City, just against the big rebellious words you just said, I can take you down now." ”

Wang Huaqiang's smile carried a hint of firmness: "Cao Xingshou, since you are now sitting in President Li's house with us, your identity is the head of the Cao family as one of the four major families in Guzang City, not General Cao as the general of the Great Sui Hussars, right?" ”

Cao Zhen nodded: "So what?" You used to conceal your identity and set up a shop here, and now you are trying to use our Chamber of Commerce to cover up your rebellion, should I, as the head of the Cao family, let you go?"

Wang Huaqiang shook his head: "Cao Xingshou's words are wrong, you are doing business to make money, you should know that you can't hang yourself on a tree, you also know the strength of my brother Liu, even in Daxing City, the emperor can't control him, now we are just doing some transactions with the Turks, and we can't talk about rebellion, if you really want to be more serious, I'm afraid that there are not a few contraband smuggled and trafficked by your bank over the years, right?" ”

Cao Zhen's face was a little red, and there was a bit of sorrow in her voice: "Yu Chiqin, you have to trade 700,000 catties of iron ore with the An brothers and sisters every year, do you dare to say that these are to make money?" Are we the ones who don't know anything? ”

Wang Huaqiang didn't speak, but An Xinggui on the other side laughed: "Brother Cao, don't be impatient, if our businessmen in Guzang want to do business, the Turks must not be offended, these words can also be said directly in front of Brother Wei Chi, which of the four of us has not had business dealings with the Turkic Great Khan?" ”

An Xinggui turned to Wang Huaqiang and sighed: "But Brother Wei Chi, it's not me talking about you, your courage is inevitably a little too big, 700,000 catties of iron ore a year, how can this not be discovered?" Although our family has some power in Guzang City, we will not gamble on this dangerous transaction with our family business. ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled: "So I invite all four of you to be here today, just hope to share it with you, as for this money, it is also easy to discuss, the cost of iron ore is about ten yuan per catty, and the transaction to Miss An is thirty yuan, and the benefits obtained in the middle are willing to be shared with you." ”
