Xu Qing served as the chairman of the Datang Trading Company, which was supported by 80,000 taels of gold, composed of 20,000 veterans, and concurrently served as the chairman of Xianghe Qianzhuang, Yanwang Li Yong, Dong Yuanshan, Wang Jun, Zhao Tuocai, and Mei Yong served as directors of these two new giant companies, Zhao Tuocai served as the shopkeeper of Datang Trading Company (equivalent to the role of general manager in later generations) and deputy general manager of the Longmen Dart Bureau, and Wang Jun served as the shopkeeper of Xianghe Qianzhuang -- Xu Qing knew that Mei Yong was a Silla spy, and also accepted Mei Yong's application to invest 1,000 taels of gold as a shareholder. However, in order to catch up with the trend of Fan Yang's upper class society and the wealthy businessmen, Mei Yong did not seem out of place in order to catch up with the trend of Fanyang's upper class society and wealthy businessmen, and in order to use the identity of the major shareholder to spy on intelligence, he gritted his teeth and took out almost all his belongings to invest in shares.

Five of the six members of the board of directors are Xu Qing's people, and they are not afraid of Mei Yong turning over the big waves, as for spying intelligence, Guangdatang Trading Company has recruited 20,000 employees in advance, and will expand its recruitment in the future, it is difficult to keep it secret, general information is not a secret, let him spy on it, top secret information, Xu Qing has revealed that Mei's family is a Silla spy to all directors of the board of directors except Mei Yong, all members of Xu Qing's secretariat, Li Xiang, Li Rui, Li Lin, Li Mingyue, Dong Xijun, Dong Bijun, and Zhao Tuozhi, Zhao Tuoyong, Yang Yi, Cui Zhenhai, Luo Huiliang, Yang Xiongcai, Ji Yusheng, Cui Meng and other key subordinates, let them beware of the Mei family, important things are kept secret from the Mei family, and Mei Yong is a director of the board of directors and does not want to spy on top secret information.

This is a retaliatory measure by Xu Qing against the Mei family, and the funny thing is that the Mei family has no idea about it, and they think that Xu Qing is broad-minded and ignores past suspicions. Xu Qing not only did not disclose or report the fact that the Mei family was a Silla spy to the public or the official, but also asked everyone who learned this secret from him to keep it strictly secret and keep their mouths shut, in case Empress Wu learned the news, and took the opportunity to attack the mainstay of the Li Tang royal family.

Before he became strong enough, Xu Qing didn't want to fight with the Mei family, he just wanted to boil frogs in warm water, slowly torture the Mei family, and consume the Mei family's strength little by little.

Seeing that Xu Qing was so economically and politically minded, so influential in Fanyang's business community, and his future was unlimited, he and Li Lin's biological mother Yu Wenqi and sister Li Xiang took turns to persuade Li Lin to marry Xu Qing, Li Lin saw that Xu Qing had at least 10,000 taels of gold, and mastered a huge wealth of nearly 100,000 taels of gold. Dong Yuanhe brothers don't like to show their skills in front of people, they are low-key, since Xu Qing defeated Mei Yong in the public competition with Mei Yong for the president of the Fanyang Merchant Liaison Association, and won the first place in Dong Bijun's recruitment conference and Li Lin's competition to recruit relatives, all the people in Fan Yang think that Xu Qing replaced Mei Yong to become Fan Yang's new first master, and he couldn't withstand the persuasion of the three closest relatives in turn, seeing that he would never see Yin Jiajie again, King Yan released cruel words, Li Lin ran out to find Yin Jiajie and broke her legs, Li Lin was really scared, She knew that her father was an iron-fisted politician, and she finally wavered and agreed to contact Xu Qing.

Xu Qing first took Li Lin to visit Longmen Dart Bureau and Xianghe Money Village, and then took Li Lin to visit the headquarters of Datang Trading Company. The headquarters of Datang Trading Company is located in the bustling commercial street of Fanyang, purchased a large inn and renovated it, the headquarters has about 2,000 employees, most of them are newly recruited veterans, equipped with weapons, heavily guarded, and the grassroots management personnel are mainly composed of veterans who have served in the Yanwang Army and participated in the war of the Tang Dynasty to conquer Goguryeo and Baekje, and the senior management personnel are composed of personnel drawn from the Yanwang Family Slave Army, Xu Qing's Longmen Dart Bureau, and Mingjian Villa.

In fact, the Datang Trading Company is a paramilitary organization, and its main task at present is to colonize Goguryeo and Baekje, which were included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty for five years, and ruled for three or four years but could not rule due to rebellion, and will trade with Silla and Dongying in the future. But he didn't want to cause unnecessary worries to the imperial court.

Mei Yong wanted to arrange for the dart master of the Feiyun Dart Bureau to serve as the senior management of Datang Trading Company, but was boycotted by Xu Qing and the rest of the directors, Xu Qing gave the reason that Wang Jun did not send his subordinates to serve as senior managers of Datang Trading Company, and Mei Yong could withdraw if he was not satisfied, but according to the contract, the term of the investment contract was 20 years, and withdrawing within 20 years was considered a breach of contract, and the invested funds were not returned.

Mei Yong only then knew that Xu Qing was playing with him, he had fallen into a big trap, but it was too late to regret it, he had no way to take Xu Qing, he could only sulk in life - martial arts are not as good as Xu Qing, power is not as good as Xu Qing, helpers are not as good as Xu Qing, backstage is not as good as Xu Qing, popularity is not as good as Xu Qing, popularity is not as good as Xu Qing, and the old hatred of wanting to repay Xu Qing for abandoning his daughter Mei Kaifang, and deceiving him into investing in shares and then suppressing and insulting his new hatred, has become an almost impossible task.

Li Lin was deeply shocked, and her heart finally opened to Xu Qing. Xu Qing really wanted to take Li Lin before going to Chang'an, and the in-law relationship with King Yan was further enhanced, forming an unbreakable alliance, removing the bottom to eliminate worries, and whispering sweet words to Li Lin, plus gold, jewelry, antiques, famous paintings and African diamonds sold to the Tang Dynasty by Arab merchants, quickly captured Li Lin's heart, and also got Li Lin's pure body that had been guarded like jade for many years.

Xu Qing's first female soldier division purchased 10,000 sets of weapons and armor from Mingjian Villa in the name of Longmen Dart Bureau, and the Longmen Dart Bureau recently ordered a total of 30,000 sets of weapons and armor from Mingjian Villa, which were delivered in three batches, the first batch of 10,000 sets was delivered within one month, and 2,000 sets were delivered within five days, the second batch of 10,000 sets was delivered within half a year, and the third batch of 10,000 sets was delivered one year later.

Datang Trading Company ordered 60,000 sets of weapons and armor from Mingjian Villa, and the first batch of 20,000 sets was delivered within half a month, 10,000 sets were delivered within ten days, and then 10,000 sets were delivered every month. Xu Qing planned to emigrate 300,000 to 100,000 people to Goguryeo and Baekje a year, and 100,000 to 500,000 people in five years. Militia organizations were formed in the settlements of the Han Chinese who migrated to plant crops during busy farming, conduct military training during slack farming, and conduct martial arts training every day.

The establishment of Datang Trading Company and the second large-scale expansion of Longmen Dart Bureau brought a large number of orders to Dong Yuanshan, and the financial resources rolled in, and in the future, Datang Trading Company and Longmen Dart Bureau will continue to become a big customer of Mingjian Villa, Dong Yuanshan is very satisfied with Xu Qing's quasi-son-in-law, and he can't wait to fly to the Mili Palace on Donghai Island to cancel the marriage contract between Dong Bijun and Mu Jiandao, but Datang Trading Company and the new Xianghe Qianzhuang after the joint-stock system reform have just been established, and Dong Yuanshan is a director of these two companies. There was also a huge order received by Mingjian Villa from the Longmen Dart Bureau and Datang Trading Company, Dong Yuanshan was so busy that he had to change his mind and let his brother Dong Yuanhe go to the Lost Palace to withdraw from the marriage on his behalf.

On the tenth day of October, Xu Qing finally led two battalions of new army male soldiers, Wang Meihui and several old employees of Xianghe Qianzhuang to set off for Chang'an, Zhao Mengchen, Zhao Tuozhi, Nie Hu, and Jia Quan accompanied him as Xu Qing's personal bodyguards, Liu Sisi (Zhao Mengchen's mother, Zhao Tuozhi's wife, and an outstanding female heir of the Snow Mountain School), Qing'er (the pseudonym of Xia Xiaoyu, the imperial court spy Xia Xiaoyu, who was accepted by Xu Qing), Xiaomei (one of Yang Ziyan's four servants, the pseudonym of the imperial court spy Mei'er), as Wang Meihui's personal bodyguard, pretending to be a maid to accompany him.

In order not to attract the attention of the imperial court, this team was divided into two groups and turned into two dart teams to escort the huge amount of gold and silver needed to open the Chang'an branch of Xianghe Qianzhuang - copper coins were bought from the local money bank in Chang'an, and the cost of long-distance transportation of copper coins was too high, as well as pistols and bullets, always kept a distance of two or three miles, and they could take care of each other if there was something. Pistols and bullets were hidden at the bottom of the box, which was piled high with clothes to avoid the officers and soldiers who might be subjected to it when entering the city.

Drawing on the experience of the Mi Navy in carrying out reconnaissance and antisubmarine training along the way when it visited the seaports of the allied countries, Xu Qing was not idle on the road, and sent 70 scouts, 20 scouts to the front, 20 scouts on the left, and 20 scouts on the right, in groups of five, to reconnoiter the "enemy situation" within 30 miles, and 10 scouts in groups of five to reconnoiter the "enemy situation" within 10 miles, so as to prevent the "enemy" from covering up and killing them from the rear and conducting military reconnaissance close to actual combat.

This investigation really found out what happened, and found two abnormal things in Hengshan, one was that a cavalry team of the Tang Army of about 300 people escorted two carriages, and ten beautiful maidens in palace clothes followed the carriage on horseback, traveling from west to east; Second, there were more than 1,000 unknown people hiding in the woods on both sides of a canyon.

When Xu Qing's team marched about two miles away from the unidentified person who was ambushed in the woods, Xu Qing asked Zhao Mengchen, who had the deepest skills, to gather his ears and eavesdrop on the conversation of the suspicious person.

Zhao Mengchen is a congenital master, with three hundred and twenty years of skill, his hearing is a hundred times sharper than ordinary people when he gathers his ears, he can hear the conversation of suspicious people clearly, skip a useless nonsense, pick the key points, and only listen to a soldier report: "Report to the general, the spies report that the target is five miles away from us and is entering the ambush area." ”

The general replied: "Okay, King Yan is like a god, and the last general admires it!" After a pause, he continued: "The order goes down, the archers are ready, everyone is not allowed to speak, I will order the arrows to be released, otherwise the military law will deal with it." "Yes!" The herald took the order and departed.

said that the target is five miles away, and the target should refer to the three hundred Tang Army cavalry escorting two carriages, not Xu Qing, Xu Qing is the common husband of King Yan's three daughters, King Yan should not want to let his three daughters be widows, besides, Xu Qing and King Yan have a very pleasant cooperation, and the prospects are promising, in the foreseeable future, King Yan cannot be an enemy of Xu Qing.

Xu Qing was confused, how could this Yan King clash with which Tang army other than Fan Yang? Xu Qing asked the dart team to stop, rest on the spot, and led the four bodyguards and a platoon of new army masters with excellent light skills to carry pistols and cold weapons, and galloped to the place where a big battle might take place, and at a distance of about one mile, turned into the woods, quietly approached the Yanwang ambush army, stopped at a distance of about 200 meters, and all the personnel hid. Xu Qing asked Zhao Mengchen to continue to listen to Yan Wang Fujun, but unfortunately he didn't hear anything valuable.
