Chapter 186: The Storm Outside the Fortress (4)

The Qiao family depended on the Qian family to survive, and a generation endured humiliation and burdens, and finally on the eve of Qiao Shaoyuan's grandfather's death, he broke away from the Qian family and completely controlled the trade route outside the Qiao family.

And in Qiao Shaoyuan's father's generation, the Qiao family finally replaced the position of the Qian family and became the largest businessman in Shanxi.

Of course, the Qiao family's business is now very extensive, from the Western Regions in the west, to the Fusang Kingdom in the east (that is, the Wa Kingdom in the Zhao population) to the Nanyang countries, and to the Liao Kingdom in the north, all of which have the presence of the Qiao family's caravans.

However, the focus of the Qiao family's business is still north and west, after all, the Qiao family has geographical advantages in these two places. The Qiao family is also involved in the business in the east and south, but the scale is far less than that of the west and north, which the Qiao family regards as the center of gravity. The trade routes to the east and south were still largely in the hands of merchants in the southeast.

To the east and south were vast oceans, and to expand the business in the east and inevitably depended on the fleet. The Qiao family's business is mainly done by land, and the sea business has always been the shortcomings of the Qiao family. In the area of maritime trade, the merchants in the southeast who live by the sea have more advantages than the Qiao family.

Tiemu Khan heard Qiao Shaoyuan's voice, Qiao Shaoyuan was hinting that although he was weak now, just like the Qiao family back then, he could temporarily rely on the powerful Liao State to exist, and when the time was ripe, Menggu would also be able to get the same chance as the Qiao family to turn over.

"Boss Joe understands what Ben Khan means." Temu Khan wiped the greasy on his mouth and looked at Qiao Shaoyuan, he didn't understand which side of Qiao Shaoyuan was, Qiao Shaoyuan was nominally a Zhao person, but in fact, Qiao Shaoyuan had acted as a lobbyist for the Liao State, and now he said such a suggestion to him Chahar Menggu Khan.

Which side of the person is Qiao Shaoyuan, and what is he running around for? The more Temu Khan thought about it, the more he didn't understand. As a Zhao person, Qiao Shaoyuan should not run for the Liao country, to say that it is ugly is to be a lackey of the Liao people, a traitor in the mouth of Zhao. Since Qiao Shaoyuan chose to serve the Liao State, why did he say such things to him, he was not afraid that he would reveal these words to the Liao State in the future.

"Ben Khan doesn't understand, what is the reason why Boss Qiao is so busy and tired among all ethnic groups?" Temu Khan's sharp gaze shot at Qiao Shaoyuan, and his tone turned from the usual calm to questioning, obviously, Temu Khan was now suspicious of Qiao Shaoyuan and Qiao Shaoyuan's identity.

In the face of Tiemu Khan's unfriendly attitude, Qiao Shaoyuan's face did not change, he was running around doing business when he was young, and it has been more than ten years since he first walked out of the door of Qiao's house and stepped into the business world. He had also experienced a lot of winds and waves, and the change in Temu Khan's attitude was nothing to him.

"Shaoyuan is a businessman." Qiao Shaoyuan smiled very calmly, indifferently looking directly at Temu Khan's sharp gaze, between the staggered gazes, Qiao Shaoyuan's expression was as flat as ever, but it inadvertently revealed a little coldness in the blandness. Qiao Shaoyuan was so calm that Temu Khan was a little shocked, surprised by Qiao Shaoyuan's strong psychological quality.

This is the king's tent of the Great Khan of Chahar, where he Temu Khan is the king, the emperor, and the judge here, who can decide the life and death of everyone here. And Qiao Shaoyuan was able to ignore the change in Tiemu Khan's attitude in the face of it.

"Of course, the merchant is for profit, whoever gives the profit, or whoever is beneficial to me, for the sake of this profit, the merchant can do anything." Qiao Shaoyuan said the answer.

Qiao Shaoyuan's answer was very in line with Qiao Shaoyuan's style of dealing with the world, and Temu Khan dispelled Fang Cai's doubts, and his attitude quickly changed back.

Tiemu Khan relieved his doubts, and still regarded Qiao Shaoyuan as a friend: "What you said is not unreasonable, Ben Khan is just unwilling, unwilling to let the hegemony of his ancestors be destroyed in the hands of Ben Khan." ”

Temu Khan drank a large bowl of milk tea, and his chest seemed to be clogged with bitterness: "If Ben Khan says no, the Manshu people will not let Ben Khan go, and it is not good for Ben Khan to have a stiff fight with the Manshu people, for the sake of the people, Ben Khan is willing to take risks." ”

"The king is wise." Seeing that Temu Khan agreed, Qiao Shaoyuan lost no time in praising Temu Khan.

The Chahar Menggu battalion assisted the Liao army to break through the border and enter the pass, and at the same time, Temu Khan, with the influence of his last Khan, dated all the Menggu tribes of the Zalan Khan of Mobei Menggu. The purpose of the alliance is, of course, to prepare for the entry of the customs, this time entering the customs, the Liao army sang the leading role, and the Meng ancient people were also able to sing a supporting role to assist the Liao army to enter the customs.

The Meng ancients made such a big fanfare to meet the alliance, which inevitably alarmed the surrounding tribes.

The place where the children's department is located is on the edge of Chahar, and it is a neighbor with the Chahar Menggu department. The Menggu alliance is not common, and once the alliance is formed, it largely indicates that the Menggu is about to start a war with the outside world.

"The ancient people are already grasshoppers after the autumn, and they are making such a big noise, the ancient people are in a hurry to die." Tong Xin, a child of the Tong clan, looked at the camp of the Meng people and said.

Not long ago, the long-lost victory also gave these Tong people of Han blood a great excitement, although it was not a great victory that belonged to them. But after all, the Tong people still have the blood of the Han people in their bones, even if they are not accepted by the Great Zhao court, the Tong people still regard themselves as Han people. For hundreds of years, no matter how difficult the conditions were, they insisted on sticking to the customs of the Han people.

The Liao army is touching the nail, Peng Chaodong, who is sitting in Liaodong, is the nemesis of the Meng Gu people, the Meng Gu Alliance once again provoked a military provocation, ordinary people can think of it with their butts, it must be Peng Chaodong who is in command to pacify the Meng people, isn't the Meng Gu Association looking for death? Will the end-of-life Meng ancients be the opponent of the Qin army?

"Although the ancient Meng Gu is weak, the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and there are still a few big people outside the Saiwai. Besides, Temu Khan doesn't look like a fool, and this alliance is probably not just as simple as another provocation. Tong Zhen said, he has never had a good impression of the Meng people, the Meng people are also barbarians, in addition to harassing the Dazhao frontier when they were strong, they also did not do anything to blackmail the Tong people. As a tribe composed of Han people who migrated out, the Tong people are not familiar with the place, and they can only endure the oppression of the Meng people.

"There is an abnormality in the Meng Gu, we can inform the Qin army, and the Qin army can also prepare early and prevent the Meng Gu people in advance." Tong Jie rode on a white horse and slowly pulled the reins of the horse forward.

"It's useless." Tong Zhen shook his head, a little helpless, "We Tongren have never been accepted by the mainstream Han people, in Peng Chaodong's eyes, we are no different from the Meng ancients, our words, Peng Chaodong may not believe it." ”

Tong Jie couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when she heard this, indeed, Peng Chaodong's attitude towards Tong Ren was very cold, and he had been treating the Tong people as barbarians for more than a year since he left Liaodong.

"But it's not impossible." Tong Zhen said to Tong Jie, "There is one person who will believe in us. (To be continued.) )
