When Zheng Wei and Zhang Mai were drinking tea in the study, the sixty-four wealthy merchants in the city of Julan City were all frightened by the invitation of Liu Heihu and others, Zheng Wei got the convenience given by Zhang Mai, and sent people from the house to invite the large and small merchants in the city, but he was too young, and now the Zheng family's industry in Kulan City is no longer the leader, more than a dozen large merchants are unwilling to respond, and less than ten merchants have come, and they are all small merchants who usually have business dealings with the Zheng family.

Zheng Hao said: "Third Young Master, these people are both snobbish and short-sighted, and they can't be helped by the old slave." ”

Zheng Wei said: "It is precisely because they are blind that I have to try to help them, if they can cope with the things in front of them, why should I bother with this anymore?" These people are either our relatives, our neighbors, or our business partners, who are closely related to us. If something happens to them, we are very good. ”

Zheng Hao said: "Third Young Master, in fact, have you ever thought about taking refuge in Tang Jun?" Tang Jun is very good to us, and I can see that these people are affectionate and righteous. The old slave has never read any books, but he has eaten more rice for decades, and has experienced a lot of things, and he always feels that he will rely on both ends like this, and he is afraid that he will not please both ends in the future. ”

Zheng Wei was stunned for a moment, and faintly felt that Zheng Hao's words were not unreasonable, but he thought about it, but when he made a decision, he broke the worry in his unhappiness, and quickly shook his head: "No, no, it's too risky." Or according to my ideas. I have already touched the character of this envoy Zhang, and I should be able to cope with it. ”

Because he was thinking about how to promote this matter, it happened that Ma Xiaochun came to say that some of the Tang Army prisoners seemed to be friends of the Zheng family, and one of them was named Meng You, and asked Zheng Wei if he knew him, Zheng Wei hurriedly said: "I know, these are our family's buddies." Meng You or us...... The steward of our Zheng family. Xiaochun, can you talk to Envoy Zhang and ask him to release my people? ”

Ma Xiaochun smiled: "There should be no problem." Zheng Wei was overjoyed, and there was a way to deliberately spread the news, most of the large and small merchants in Julan City had children and men were captured, but they did not participate in the private army, and when they heard that the "Aqimu family" had climbed into the army entering the city, everyone rushed to hear the news, some inquired about the news, and some hoped to rescue their relatives and men through the door of Guò Zheng Wei, and it didn't take long for more than 200 people to gather, Although Aqimu Mansion occupies a large area, it is noisy when more than 200 people gather.

Murong Chunhua heard that there were so many people gathered here, and he was afraid that there would be chaos, so he hurriedly sent troops to protect him. Hundreds of people in the mansion panicked when they heard this, and one of them grabbed Zheng Wei's collar irritably, and said angrily: "Kailimu, why did you collude with this gang of robbers to deceive us?" Is it to lure us here to catch them all? ”

Zheng Wei broke free from him, frowned and said to Ma Xiaochun: "Didn't Special Envoy Zhang say that martial law is not aimed at us?" Why doesn't talking count? And sent people to block the front and back gates of me? What does that mean? ”

Ma Xiaochun saw that Zhang Mai was quite polite to Zheng Wei, and he didn't dare to contradict it, and said: "The villain doesn't know, the villain will ask." ”

Murong Chunhua heard that the merchants in the house were suspicious, and was reproached by Zheng Wei, so he ordered to retreat, sent people in to say that he had no other meaning, and at the same time reported the news to Zhang Mai, Yang Yi said: "Brother Mai, although Zheng Wei is a descendant of the Zheng family and is a world friend with us, but he has not clearly expressed his sincerity to us until now, but at this time he has gathered with so many people, if the matter of discussion is beneficial to us, it is nothing, but if it is a bad intention, we have to guard against it." Do you want to send someone in and keep an eye on them? ”

Zhang Mai pondered for a moment, but said: "No, I have already touched the temperament of Zheng Wei, although he is not refreshing enough, he is not a person who would openly rebel like this." We should give them a little time, and we should also give Zheng Wei a little time. There are many people, but they are not afraid, hundreds of people meet together, and they can't come up with any powerful resolutions. If it is a secret conversation of a few people, it is terrible. ”

Yang Yidao: "But when I went to inspect before, I also saw several merchants, which really don't look like us Tang people." ”

Zhang Mai said: "Didn't Zheng Wei say it, many of them are mixed with the locals, probably because of this." After a pause, he said, "Actually, even if you are not a descendant of the Merchant Colony, it doesn't matter. As long as Zheng Wei can make them really support us. There are many things like nations, which have come true for a long time. ”

Seeing Zheng Wei's words, the merchants over there dispersed the besiegers outside the mansion, which dissipated their contempt and gave them a little more respect on their faces. The person who stepped forward to pull his collar just now was even more frightened, and hurriedly made amends.

Zheng Wei invited the two major merchants in the city, Samur and Karadin, to take a seat, and he himself sat with the master in his hand, and said: "Everyone must know about the Tang army's entry into the city. ”

All the merchants said: "Naturally, Kailimu, what kind of Tang Jun is this, who is it?" ”

Zheng Wei said: "According to them, it is an army from the Tang Dynasty. ”

Zheng Hao stood aside, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart after hearing this: "After all, the third young master is a person who has rolled in the sea of business, and he speaks in a measured manner, and he does not reveal the reality and reality of the new Broken Leaf City. ”

All the merchants in the hall were surprised, and there were many discussions, how many ups and downs Samur, Karadin, etc. have experienced, and they couldn't help but exclaim at this time: "Datang? Is Datang still there? ”

Kaladin said: "Even if Datang is still there, how could they suddenly come to Julan City?" Has Shule or Barasagon fallen? I haven't heard anything from me before. ”

Zheng Wei raised his hand and shouted, "Everyone, everyone, please be quiet. Where did this Tang army come from and how it came, to be honest, I was also very confused in my heart, but it was probably because of the favor of my father and brother, and they didn't know where they heard that my Aqimu family was the richest man in Julan City - of course, this was all in the past, and these Tang troops probably had a wrong news, but they found me because of this, and asked me to inform you to go to the banquet tonight. ”

After he said this, hundreds of people began to talk again, and they didn't want to go, but they didn't dare not go, so someone said: "Kailimu, according to you, this gang of robbers ......" Several people booed at the same time, and the man quickly covered his mouth and continued: "What is this group of Tang Jun inviting us to the banquet for?" ”

Zheng Wei said: "According to my judgment, since they have occupied this place, most of them have to establish good relations with the locals in order to maintain their rule. Didn't they send someone to invite us to the feast early this morning? At that time, they were fierce, because this place used to be under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and I have told them that this Julan City used to be under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and many of the merchants here have Tang blood on their bodies, and their faces eased a lot when they heard about it, and they changed the banquet to the evening, and invited us again, which should be a good intention. ”

When he said this, someone interjected and asked, "Julan City was under the rule of the Tang Dynasty before?" Is there such a thing? ”

A few well-informed old businessmen said: "Of course there is such a thing, you young people, do you think that this place has been ruled by the Hui people from ancient times to the present?" ”

The interjector: "No, I thought it was Saman before." ”

"And what about before Saman?"

Samur suddenly opened his mouth and said loudly: "Don't make noise, everyone, listen to Kairim continue." ”

Since Zheng Wei's father, Zheng Wanda, left Kulan City, Samur has faintly become the city's business leader, and this sentence is full of majesty, and everyone has shut up.

Samuel said: "Kairim, what if you do what you say, what are you going to do?" ”

Zheng Wei said: "Before you came, I had already thought about it. Let's all claim to be descendants of the Tang people tonight and go to the banquet. ”

Many people exclaimed, "That's a good idea." ”

But some people are worried: "But we're not, what if they break it?" ”

Zheng Wei said: "In fact, whether it is the same clan or not, that is false, whether there is a heart or not, that is true." Since the Tang army has entered this Julan City and intends to show us goodwill, that is, it depends on whether we sincerely support them, as long as we show that we really support the Tang army, then even if we don't have Tang blood, we can still pass this level. ”

"Hearted?" Kaladin smiled: "You mean what you mean by heart...... Money? ”

Zheng Wei nodded: "Yes." ”

Caradin smiled: "If they ask for money, then it will be easier, let's prepare a generous gift for them." ”

More than 200 people said, "Yes, yes." If you just call yourself Tang Min and give them some gifts to show goodwill, then it's nothing. ”

Zheng Wei said: "My idea is that what we want to give is not a gift to please the leaders of the Tang Army, but a military fund that is beneficial to them. Ritual gatherings are heavy, and ritual dispersions are light. Our 64 businesses each give gifts, the gifts seem few and thin, it is better to put them together and give a thick and real gift. There is a saying in the Han family: Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person. They have just entered our Kulan City, and we will treat the army with a big gift, which shows our sincerity. Since we started the scene with good intentions, they will not be able to treat us coldly and ruthlessly. ”

Everyone said, "That's, that's." Whether it's a big meal or a return to Hui, aren't those officials all for a money word in the end? ”

Caladin said, "Kairim, according to you, what kind of gift should we give?" ”

Zheng Wei said: "Before your uncles came, Kai Limu had already calculated in his heart, if he gave such a big gift to the army, then no matter whether everyone is a descendant of Tang Min or not, he should be able to keep me safe in the city." ”

Then took out the gift list he drew up, Samuel took it, his face changed a little, Kaladin glimpsed it, his face twitched, there were more than 200 representatives of sixty-five families in the hall, and it would take half a day to circulate it to everyone, Zheng Wei asked Samuel Kaladin to read it, and then asked Zheng Han to read it aloud-

"Nine thousand sacks of wheat, two thousand sacks of rice, one thousand cloths, eight hundred horses, three hundred camels, eight thousand sheep, five hundred taels of gold, five thousand taels of silver...... and all kinds of goods, such as clothes, shoes and hats, and all kinds of goods that could be taken away, were also sold by the merchants of Kulan City.

Before Zheng Han finished reading, the atmosphere in the hall had changed greatly, and Karadine said with a dark face: "Kailimu, where is this still a gift?" If you asked everyone to pool their money to buy a treasure or treasure to give to their head, it would be fine, but for now...... I think you're trying to empty our pockets! Nine thousand bags of wheat? I tell you that all the rice jars here are empty, and I can't make up so much! ”

Zheng Wei said: "Uncle Caladin, what you said was too much. Although this is a lot of money, in my opinion, it is only 30% of what everyone here gets in a year. Wheat, cloth, rice, sheep, horses, and camels seem to be in large quantities, but if our sixty-five families work together, we should still be able to raise them -- and these happen to be what the Tang army desperately needs, and if we take out this material as a gift, we will definitely be able to gain their trust. There is a way: break the wealth and eliminate the disaster. Sixty-five large and small businesses have to scrape together this money and grain, although it is to cut meat, it will not hurt the muscles and bones, but a big disaster can be ......."

"Alright, alright!" Samur said: "Kairim, where are you coming up with ideas, you are ripping out our hearts and livers." ”

"So Uncle Samur, what do you say?"

Samuel muttered: "Actually, you have done a good job before, didn't you say that we are all descendants of the Tang Min?" Then let's take out the posture of the descendants of the Tang people to go to the banquet tonight. I know that the people of the Tang Dynasty in Middle-earth are the most dignified, and when the time comes, as long as we prepare a gift for each family, and then pat their ass a few more times when we get there, and make them fluttering, most of them can be fooled. ”

Caladin smiled: "Boss Samur is right, I think it's okay." ”

Zheng Wei was shocked: "This ...... This...... Cannot! I've met their envoy Zhang, and he's not such a fool. ”

However, this is more than 200 people are discussing separately, and they all don't listen to him, all of them feel that Zheng Wei's big gift is too much, if you really say it, every family has to make a lot of money, and the big family suffers a lot. Kaladin said: "I think according to what Boss Samuer said, everyone will be improvised, and if it doesn't work, think of a way." ”

Zheng Wei shouted: "No, if we give Tang Jun a bad impression the first time, he won't believe us in the future, in my opinion, people like him, once they don't believe us, they won't be polite." But no one listened to him.

Seeing that Zheng Wei was still persuading, Kaladin sneered: "Kailimu, you can do it, do you, do you really want to be friends with this gang-thief army?" When he said the word "thief army", his voice was very low, and he sneered again, and said: "Actually, everyone just needs to try to delay as much as possible, drag to the Talas side to send troops, and drive this group of thieves away." ”

Zheng Wei was about to debate with him, but suddenly saw Zheng Hao shaking his head at him, sighed long, then fell silent, stopped talking, and Samuel said: "Then let it be like this, everyone go home separately, prepare to prepare, and go to the banquet with me tonight." Remember to smile more, have a sweet mouth, and say a few nice words when the time comes, and it won't cost you money anyway. ”

Sixty-four families applauded one after another, and more than 200 people left in a moment, and the lively Aqimu Mansion suddenly became deserted.
