"It's good for everybody." Xu Gai said to Ling Yun, "Believe me, this is just an easy thing for San Lang to complete. ”

Ling Yun followed Shan Xiongxin and Xu Gai to leave the martial arts arena and went to a side hall next to it, accompanied by Zhai Rang, Huang Junhan, Wang Bodang, Cheng Lou, and Su Yong, while Ling Yun took Gao Bo and Wang Bao with them. Since it is a business discussion, even if it is a brother, it must be settled, especially when it comes to interests, some things must be understood, otherwise the brothers will turn against each other. Ling Yun didn't want too many interests to come in, but he also knew that everyone's identity was not a good citizen, they were all strong and powerful, and everyone was here to form a righteous party, in fact, in addition to being a hero, I was afraid that it was more about their respective identities. We are all people in a circle and have common interests.

Obviously, the relationship between Shan Xiongxin and the other seven families has been an alliance of interests for many years. In this alliance, there are both black and white, and they have a common characteristic, that is, each family is a powerful place. There are rich and powerful people in the locality, and they are all local snakes. Their cooperation has obviously been going on for a long time. Xu Gai is obviously a military advisor in this circle, and although Shan Xiongxin is young, the Shan family must have been a leading role, so now the seven families are still pushing Shan Xiongxin, but it can be seen that Xu Gai is still the real master.

Huazhou, Caozhou, Jeju, and Yizhou, they are basically an alliance of interests formed by local powers in the states along the Yellow River.

Entering the hall, Ling Yun untied the long sword and put it on the sword stand, and then took off his armor and clothes in an orderly manner.

He put on the daily robe brought by the maid, took the wet towel and wiped his face. Then sit on the couch and wait to hear their plans.

Xu Gai hoped that Lingyun would help, and there were two. The first is that they hope to use Lingyun's identity as the new acting leader of the Tiger League and the identity of the new head of the Gao family to make their ordnance business bigger and stronger. The ordnance and war horse business of the seven families is indeed not small, they have a complete set of ordnance workshops, and the output is not small. In the past, there were two main sales directions for the ordnance they produced, one was to make high-quality products and sell them to those wealthy families, and the price of these high-quality ordnance was high, but the sales volume was always low. Their other sales direction is those green forest heroes, to those thieves, horse thieves, water thieves loans, but this is very risky, and it also limits the expansion of scale and the increase of profits. Now, they know Ling Yun's new identity, especially after they have formed a friendship with Ling Yun, they want to use Ling Yun, the new brother, to expand their arms trade and increase profits. The main idea is to change the domestic sales of ordnance into foreign trade.

Make these ordnance businesses bigger and stronger, sell them to the outside world, and sell them to the outside of the Great Sui.

In particular, Xu Gai and others keenly felt that after a few years of Chengping in the Great Sui Dynasty, the situation in the frontier has become tense again. The more tense the situation, the more likely it is that war will occur, and the more business opportunities it will be for arms dealers. To fight a war, a large amount of ordnance is inevitably needed, and profits will inevitably increase. At this time, selling the ordnance to foreign forces will certainly make a lot of money. However, there is a trouble that their previous ordnance was sold on both sides of the Yellow River, either by taking the boutique route and selling it to the wealthy families for collection and use, or to those bandits. If they want to sell ordnance abroad, they have no routes, and they have no customers. However, the appearance of Ling Yun gave them an idea.

The Tiger League has been operating on the front line of Yanshan, and the Gao family has been operating on the front line of the Liao River in the past, and the forces in these two frontiers have always been involved in smuggling and trading, and they have had contacts with overseas countries such as the Turks, Tiele, Xi, Khitan, Xia, Murowei, Goguryeo, Jin, Baekje, Silla, Dongying, etc., if they can get the help of Lingyun, with the help of the line and relationship between the Tiger League and the Gao family, it will not be difficult to sell such in-demand materials as ordnance abroad, and the profits will definitely not be less.

No one will be disgusted with a lot of money, even if it is a powerful person like Shan Xu.

Xu Gai had a good idea, selling ordnance abroad, and then trafficking war horses, skins and other scarce materials back to the Central Plains. Even if you pay a 10% share to Lingyun for this, it is definitely a sure win.

As for the appropriateness of selling the ordnance and materials embargoed by the imperial court abroad, they never considered it. At this time, especially for the Kwantung people who were marginalized and excluded in the Great Sui Dynasty, the concept of the national court really did not have much impression, and in their eyes, it was more about family interests. The court can be replaced, but the family will not change.

This kind of concept, Ling Yun can't change it alone.

"I'm a court official now, and the soldiers of the Jin Dynasty's Mansion have joined the army, and you asked me to help smuggle and sell ordnance abroad, don't you think" Ling Yun asked with a smile.

Xu Gai frowned and said: "Yang Guang may have given you an official position of joining the army as a soldier of the Jin Palace, but don't forget it, you are just an illegitimate son of Yang Guang, an illegitimate child who has been separated for sixteen years." Before Yang Guang really let you recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, you were just an illegitimate child, an illegitimate child who would never see the light. If you really think that you are Yang Guang's son, you are very wrong. Yang Guang's two sons-in-law are both county kings, and you are nothing. You have to think about yourself and think about it, if he really recognizes you as a son and believes in you, how can he detain your new wife in Yangzhou? It's still not trusting you, what are you going to do? Leave him in control? No, manly man, you should be in control of your own destiny. You have to have your own power, you have to have your own voice. And these don't fall from the sky, but you still have our brothers and friends. Are Yang Zhao and Yang Yong your brothers? No, we are your true siblings. He paused, "If you want your wife back, then you have to be strong." Now that you are the acting leader of the Tiger Alliance, the new head of the Gao family, you don't have to listen to Yang Guang's command. Make good use of these opportunities to show your strength, and Yang Guang will naturally pay attention to you at that time. ”

Although Ling Yun sounded a little inconsistent and messy with these words, Xu Gai's last sentence still touched him. "If you can help us, we are willing to give you 20% of the proceeds of the ordnance. Think about it, if this deal is done, it may be a huge deal of 100,000 or even 200,000 or 300,000 yuan a year, and you can receive a dividend of 20,000 or even 460,000 yuan a year. With so much money, what do you want to do? ”

Money can make ghosts grind, and Xu Gai's twenty percent bonus really makes Ling Yun's heart move. Although he was not a person who was attracted to wealth, he still vaguely felt in his heart that if he could really get such a large sum of money, it might be very helpful to him. And, as Xu Gai said, it is indeed not too difficult for him to help with this. He has ready-made smuggling routes and connections, and even when needed, he can use the official status given to him by Yang Guang. You don't need to pay too much to have such a benefit, so it's strange not to agree. What's more, agreeing to cooperate can further strengthen the relationship between the Shan Xu families. One more friend, one more road. What's more, it is a strong friend of seven strong places like Shan Xu.

Shan Xu's seven families, plus Ling Yun, now this transaction is a partnership of eight people, but Ling Yun alone has a two-percent share, which is very rare.

Ling Yun felt that Xu Gai was a little too generous, "What else do you need me to do?" "There is no such thing as pie in the sky.

Xu Gai was amazed by Ling Yun's keenness, and said with a smile: "Only if one more trouble is solved, our cooperation can be launched." However, solving this trouble is actually a good thing for Saburo. ”

Xu Gai and the seven of them secretly operated the ordnance war horse business, and it was not that they had no competitors. In fact, they still have a lot of competitors, and recently a strong opponent has stepped in and squeezed out a lot of their original market share, which makes Xu Gai have the idea of turning domestic sales into foreign trade.

If it is an ordinary opponent, with Xu Gai and these people, how can they be afraid of their ability to eat both black and white. The key is that this competitor is not small, not only is it not small, but also the big Xu Gai they don't dare to have ideas at all.

"What is the origin of the other party?" Ling Yun was also a little surprised that the Seven Families on both sides of the Yellow River could be so afraid.

"Actually, Saburo has seen them a long time ago." Xu Gai said with a smile, "After Saburo came ashore from Baimajin that day, he met the Zheng convoy in front of Baimapo. ”

"Xingyang Zheng's?" Ling Yun couldn't help but be surprised. Xingyang Zheng's origin is indeed not small, although it has a great tendency to decline in the Sui Dynasty, but it is still one of the top gate valves.

Xu Gai nodded: "It's the Zheng family in Xingyang, and it's the Zheng family's descendants who are involved in the ordnance business." ”

If it was just Xingyang Zheng's, it would be impossible to scare Xu Gai and the others. Sure enough, Xu Gai said the key point, it was Zheng Yuanxuan, the eldest son of the Zheng family in Xingyang, who was secretly engaged in the ordnance business, but it was not easy to talk about Zheng Yuanxuan. His father was Zheng Yi, who was the first to help today's son usurp Zhou. Zheng Yi is a classmate of Yang Jian, Zheng Yi is very knowledgeable, knows music, and is good at riding and shooting. Zheng Yi's cousin, Zheng Wenkuan, the founder of the mansion, married Princess Pingyang of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Princess Pingyang is the sister of Beiyu Wentai's wife Yuan. Princess Pingyang had no son, so Yuwentai asked Zheng Yi to pass on to her family, so Zheng Yi was close to Yuwentai when he was a child, and always let him play with Yuwentai's sons. Zheng Wenkuan later gave birth to two sons, and Zheng Yi returned to his home. When Yu Wenyong was in power, Zheng Yi began to be a sergeant, and then served as a doctor of Yinqing Guanglu, and then transferred to the left sergeant. He and Liu Fang are always by Yuwentai's side. Zheng Yi's wife died at that time, and Yuwentai ordered Zheng Yi to marry Princess Angu of Liang. Later, after the Western Wei Dynasty's powerful minister Yuwentai was the general manager of Wanji, Zheng Yi was the doctor under the imperial government, and then transferred to Tai**Yin.

Later, in the process of Yang Jian's usurpation of Zhou, Zheng Yi gave Yang Jian the most powerful support and helped him seize the power of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, so he became Yang Jian's confidant and was once Yang Jian's most trusted person. However, Zheng Yi was later alienated by Yang Jian because he lost his appearance in the civil strife of Wei Chi Hui and others. However, although Zheng Yi later had many corruption and lawlessness, and was even involved in a major rebellion case, Yang Jian finally pardoned him because of his past relationship. Even Zheng Yi's sons were all named county dukes and other high-ranking lords.

However, Zheng Yi died a few years ago, and the status of the Zheng family inevitably declined. Zheng Yi's eldest son, Zheng Yuanxuan, inherited Zheng Yi's title as Duke of Peiguo, and also served as a hussar general. Zheng Yuanxuan secretly established an ordnance workshop, the real reason is that he took refuge in the crown prince Yang Yong, this workshop is under the name of the Zheng family, but it was actually built for the prince.

Although Xu Gai and the others are strong, they are just a group of local snakes, and in the face of Zheng Yuanxuan and Yang Yong behind him, they are all afraid.

But now, they have found a strong ally, Ling Yun, the illegitimate son of King Jin. They knew that there had been several death-to-death battles between Ling Yun and the crown prince, and they also knew that it was the prince's party who ambushed Ling Yun in front of the White Horse Slope. This made Xu Gai and others, who originally wanted to retreat, see the light again. It is true that their arms can't twist the thighs of the prince and the Zheng family, but Ling Yun is different.

"Behind the Zheng family's armory workshop is the crown prince!" Xu Gai said meaningfully.

"Okay, count me in." After listening to Xu Gai's detailed explanation, Ling Yun did not hesitate, and readily agreed to join Xu Gai and the other seven armour traders. The two-percent share is certainly exciting, but it is not as good as revenge on the prince!

Ling Yun is not muddy, he has been chased and killed by the prince several times, and he has been angry in his heart, and now that he has the opportunity to take revenge, how can he miss it!
