"Cai Taishou, look up for a long time!"

"Wei Thorn Shi, be polite!"

Cai and Wei exchanged pleasantries, and then walked side by side, followed by Mo Han and others. When they arrived at the hall, everyone sat down.

"I have heard the name of Lord Wei for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to see it, so I took the liberty to invite and hope for Haihan one or two!"

Cai Bao spoke very politely, but there was a rebellious color between his eyebrows, he had been in charge of the party for many years, and he had led tens of thousands of displaced people, and he was by no means comparable to those who only knew how to talk about it.

Laoshan Trading Company, now one of the few large trading companies in the world, operates a wide variety of goods, including cement, glass, green salt, roasted tea, silk, grain, porcelain, ironware, etc., there are hundreds of large and small shopkeepers, tens of thousands of members, and a huge ocean-going trading fleet, assets as high as hundreds of thousands.

Such a scale is not only in ancient times, but also in modern times. Moreover, there is a powerful local prince's support behind the Laoshan Trading Company, and its development prospects are even more ambitious.

Coupled with the excellent business ability of Laoshan Trading Company, it has achieved a place in the world in just a few years. Even the Hu forces in various places did not dare to offend the people of the Laoshan Trading Company easily, otherwise they were likely to be blocked by the Laoshan Trading Company, and thus could not get the goods they wanted.

Cai Bao's mind flashed some information about the Laoshan Trading Company, but his gaze at Wei Shuo was even more eager. At present, Linhuai is in ruins, and businessmen are urgently needed to come, but Linhuai is located in Jianghuai, next to the powerful Hu forces, and the merchants in Jiangzuo do not dare to go north to do business.

"I heard that Master Wei is the owner of the Laoshan Trading Company?" Cai Bao asked knowingly.

"Yes, exactly!" Wei Shuo nodded and agreed very happily.

As soon as the words fell, he saw a trace of greed in Cai Bao's eyes.

Wei Shuo's gaze was so keen, although Cai Bao concealed it well, that trace of greed was still caught by him. He sneered secretly: "Cai Bao is really not a good bird, I think he is addicted to robbing business trips." I actually hit the idea on Lao Tzu's head! ”

A homeless marshal like Cai Bao has no king's law and military discipline at all, and he can do anything in order to survive. Not to mention such trivial things as robbing business travel, even Zu Ti has done it in history, not to mention Cai Bao and Su Jun!

However, in the future, if Cai Bao dares to attack Laoshan Trading Company. Then Wei Shuo will definitely let him know why the flowers are red!

"Cai Taishou, I don't know what you are looking for me for?" Wei Shuo's face suddenly turned unkind, and he was very angry in his heart.

Cai Bao saw that Wei Shuo's face was very unsightly, and his tone was not polite at all, and he immediately knew that his small actions had just been discovered by Wei Shuo. It's not that Cai Bao really has the intention of beating Laoshan Trading Company, it's really that he is used to doing businessless business, and as soon as he heard that there was a big businessman, he couldn't help but want to rob him.

"The main reason for inviting Master Wei to come here this time is to discuss cooperation with adults!"

Cai Bao found himself reckless. Busy cautiously said, "It is reported that the Laoshan Trading Company under the command of Lord Wei deals in various daily necessities such as grain, fried tea, and soap, and has branches in various places, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

"It's true!"

Wei Shuo replied simply, since people lowered their posture, there was no need for him to hold on to a little mistake, and besides, people just had ideas. It has not yet been put into action. And considering the strength of Liaodong, Cai Bao would never dare to treat Laoshan Trading Company as before.

And Cai Bao worked hard to invite him. There must be other plans. In fact, as Wei Shuo expected, as an official who is good at internal affairs, when most people only focus on the two states under Wei Shuo's rule, Cai Bao relies on his years of experience in governing the government and securing the people, and sets his eyes on the Laoshan trading company behind Liaodong.

Cai Bao said eagerly: "Oh? I wonder if Laoshan Trading Company can consider doing business in Huainan? Master Wei doesn't know that I, Huainan, am on the front line. Few businessmen dared to come to Huainan to do business, but I know that the Laoshan trading company would not care. ”

"Huainan is rich in real estate, and it is a place that has not been affected by the war for the time being, I think if Laoshan Trading Company intends to expand its trade routes, it will naturally not give up Huainan. Just ......"

Speaking of this, the corners of Wei Shuo's mouth slightly hooked up a smile, now after several years of development, the development of Laoshan Trading Company in Jiangzuo has reached the limit, and further development will definitely cause the fear of the family. He had long planned to open up other markets, but he didn't expect Cai Bao to send it to the door himself, and of course Wei Shuo couldn't ask for it.

"Master Wei, as long as the Laoshan Trading Company is willing to open a branch in Xuyi, you can cooperate with me, and you can remove all the obstacles in Linhuai for the Laoshan Trading Company." Cai Bao didn't beat around the bush, and directly stated his intentions.

"Xuyi? It's a good choice, but when the Laoshan trading company goes to Xuyi to do business, can Lord Cai guarantee that our interests will not be violated? Wei Shuo asked.

Cai Bao showed a little conceited smile on his face, and said: "I, Cai Bao, may not be a big man in Xuzhou, but on one acre and three points of land in Xuyi, I can definitely ensure the safety of Laoshan Trading Company, and if something goes wrong, I will be fully responsible." ”

Wei Shuo nodded calmly after hearing this, "It's not impossible, but what do you Lord Cai want?" ”

Seeing that Wei Shuo agreed, Cai Bao immediately showed irrepressible excitement and said: "This official can provide all guarantees for the Laoshan Trading Company, but the Laoshan Trading Company needs to deliver a batch of grain and armor to Xuyi as soon as possible. ”

"Armor?"

Wei Shuo glanced at Cai Bao, but he didn't expect Cai Bao to be playing this idea, and he had to say that Cai Bao was very smart. He knew that there were several military workshops in Liaodong, which could produce various armor weapons such as paper armor, ring-headed knives, longbows, and fish scale armor. Xuzhou Thorn Shi Zu Ti can get a large number of armor weapons from Laoshan merchants every year, which is also one of the reasons why the ancestral army is strong.

"Lord Wei, Huainan is on the front line, and the loss of armor is very great, I heard that there are several large soldier workshops in Liaodong, I wonder if Lord Wei is willing to provide some armor and me?"

Wei Shuo quickly calculated in his heart, in fact, it was not impossible to provide Cai Bao with some armor. At present, among the Huainan heroes, there are two people supported by Wei Shuo, Su Jun and Zu Ti, if Cai Bao is added, it is impossible to say that the entire Huainan will be taken into Wei Shuo's pocket in the future.

After consultation with Cai Bao, in the next month, Laoshan Trading Company will ship 10,000 sets of paper armor, 5,000 ring-headed knives, and 3,000 longbows. Cai Bao will be responsible for ensuring the safety of the Laoshan trading company in Linhai and arranging for displaced people to settle in Liaodong.

……

"Lord, something big has happened! Big deal! ”

On this day, the wind was beautiful, and Wei Shuo had just arrived in Port Arthur when he was stopped by Lu Chang, who came to greet him.

"I said, Master Lu, what are you trying to do? Say something slowly, rest assured that the sky won't fall! ”

"Oh, you don't know yet, my lord, do you? So much has happened in the more than a month you've been away. ”

Wei Shuo looked at Lu Chang's excited appearance, and asked him to calm down and say: "Tell me something slowly, you are also an important high-level leader in my Liaodong, don't you be laughed at every time you are so flustered?" ”

"Oh, my lord, it's Guanzhong, and there's danger in Guanzhong!"

"Guanzhong? What's wrong with Guanzhong? ”

Wei Shuo frowned, in his impression, Emperor Jin Shu had at least more than a year to live, that is to say, there was still more than half a year before the fall of Guanzhong, so he didn't think that there would be anything urgent in Guanzhong.

"The lord doesn't know that not long ago, Liu Yao commanded an army of 100,000 to go to Guanzhong. However, in half a month, the entire Fengyi County had been captured, causing the gate of Guanzhong to open, and Chang'an was shaken for a while! The Son of Heaven issued an edict to let the Quartet Qin Wang, and after Liu Gong received the edict, he asked for help from my Liaodong, just because the lord was far away in Jiangzuo, and the ministers did not dare to make a decision easily, so they only let Liu Yao lead the troops to move west in case of accidents! ”

"Shhh 100,000 troops! ”

Wei Shuo also had a headache for a while, not that he didn't want to rescue Guanzhong, but it was not cost-effective for him to rescue Guanzhong. Guanzhong is too far away from Liaodong, even if you use Shanbei as a springboard, there is still a Yellow River in the middle!

"Well, forget it, this matter can't be solved in a while, let's talk about it later! Is there any good news for me? ”

"Yes, hehe, the next news lord will be happy to hear it!"

"Oh? What's the matter? ”

"Beigong Chun is here!" (To be continued.) )
