Terekin finally said the purpose of the trip, and it was the lion who made a big request, that is, forty percent of the way he wanted.

As soon as he heard this number, Zhang Qiang was stunned. Asking for so much is equivalent to taking nearly half of the benefits, and if this is the case, he will never be able to agree to it.

Let's not talk about it, agreeing to it is equivalent to cooperating with the second prince, which is equivalent to their people, and they will offend the eldest prince because of this, just if they really do this, then where can they send so much money to the second prince every quarter?

Originally, they were all people who were going to die, but they wandered to Chen Liucheng, and then they started a new life. It is no exaggeration to say that Zhang Qiang's life was given by Zhang Chao, and now someone wants to rob the master's property, as a servant, how can he agree?

But if you say you refuse now, will it attract the anger of the other party? If this is the case, I'm afraid that the Zhangjia Trading Company will not be able to open it, so wouldn't it live up to the expectations of the second son?

At this moment, Zhang Qiang felt that he was in a dilemma.

Fortunately, he deals with people every day, and his mind has already become very flexible, and he is also very good at dealing with such urgent things at the moment, so he smiled and said, "It turned out to be the second prince's good intentions." Well, in that case, I will report this news to our First Emperor. ”

Zhang Qiang put on a picture This is a big deal, I can't be the master, everything has to be at the behest of my master, and he replied to Teregin's question.

Terekin didn't think about letting Zhang Qiang give an answer immediately, he also knew that such a big matter was far from being a small president who could call the shots, so he nodded and said: "Then, then I'll give you a month and a half, I think it's enough for you to discuss with your master, I will come to visit at that time, expecting a result." It's just that I remind you, don't play any tricks with His Royal Highness the Second Prince, this is Great Rus City, if that's the case, I guarantee that you won't be able to escape even if you want to. ”

Terekin, who had finished talking about this with a smile, got up and walked away, without even saying hello.

Looking at the back of Terekin leaving, Zhang Qiang knew that things were not good, and he immediately said: "Come here, prepare pen and ink, and at the same time arrange for people to send the letters out of the city overnight." ”

Zhang Qiang wants to tell Zhang Chao the truth about what happened here, and he can only wait as to how to decide.

Zhang Chao, who was in the palace of Jinyang City, did not know that such a thing had happened, nor did he know that all this was a plan discussed by Zhuge Liang and Cao Cao.

They first sent people to the Rus' country, found the second prince Ivan, and then carried out this divisive plan.

This discord is naturally the relationship between the Zhangjia Trading Company and the second prince. The worst result of this is to make the Rus people turn against Zhang Chao, then they may be in the front, so that they can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. And even if Zhang Chao is powerful and can have the means to solve this matter, it will definitely attract the displeasure of the second prince, at least it can be regarded as planting a thorn in the middle, so that it is also a good thing for them.

You don't need to pay anything or do anything yourself, you can get the result that gives Zhang Chao a headache, Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang think that it is worth it no matter what. Besides, they didn't think that Zhang Chao had any good way to solve this matter, at least the same thing in front of them would be very troublesome.

Zhang Chao didn't know this, he was still training soldiers, developing agriculture and commerce, and under his encouragement policies, especially after the huge merchant group marched towards the realm of the Western Regions, his influence became more and more great.

Zhang Chao can imagine that once the trade with the Western Regions is successful, the opium 0 will gain a foothold there, and I am afraid that it will not be long before the endless wealth will enter his pocket. With money, it's much easier to do whatever you want.

Everything seems to be going well, and the intelligence of the members of Tianyan shows that Cao Cao and Liu Bei have stopped a lot for a while, and they seem to be learning from themselves, training soldiers at the same time, and developing commerce and agriculture.

In the final analysis, the war is about money, and the fight is just to see who has a strong foundation and who is stronger.

And if one side has a strong wealth as a foundation, then the balance of victory may tilt in favor of one side.

What Zhang Chao needs to do is to accumulate more wealth and prepare for the day when he can conquer the Quartet and create a huge Celestial Empire.

In the blink of an eye, it has been ten days since Zhang Qiang wrote the letter, and on this day, Zhang Chao finally saw the letter.

As early as when Zhang Qiang was developing in the Russ country, Zhang Chao once said that in order to earn more money and last, in order to last, some benefits can be appropriately distributed to the powerful, so that although it seems that they have lost some for a while, in the long run, they will always be the ones who earn.

In fact, Zhang Qiang did the same, and he has been running very well. At least with the participation of powerful people, Zhangjia Trading Company is indeed a lot less troublesome. It's well spent.

I never thought that the second prince suddenly came to such a lion and opened his mouth, and he actually asked for forty percent of the shares.

Of course, forty percent of the shares is indeed a large number, but speaking of which, there is still a profit. After all, the main business of Zhang's trading company is opium 0, and the cost of this thing is completely up to Zhang Chao alone, he can make false reports, so that he will be the one who earns the lion's share. But the question is, can only forty percent of the shares really satisfy the second prince? Besides, the Rus Kingdom is not the one who has the final say, and the eldest prince is on the side? If he knew about it, would he allow it? Will you say yes? Will it be happy?

What will happen if you anger the emperor?

These are all questions to consider.

"Bonghyo, what do you think?" While thinking about these questions in his heart, Zhang Chao did not make a decision immediately, but looked at Guo Jia, a first-class member on the side.

At the time of the founding of the country, Guo Jia's power was effectively divided, and the military became his supervisor. It's just that there is no big war happening now, and the commanders of the various legions are also doing their best, so he just happened to be quiet, so he had more time to contact Zhang Chao.

Guo Jia has just read this letter, and he also knows that it is a little tricky. But even when Zhang Chao asked, he still said: "Your Majesty, this second prince is clearly embarrassing us." ”

"Yes, he's embarrassing us. Hehe, I've just figured it out now, didn't the Skynet intelligence department send news a while ago that they had seen Cao Cao and Liu Bei's people in Great Ross City? I guess this is what they came up with behind the scenes. Zhang Chao smiled wryly.

After becoming the emperor of the Celestial Empire, Zhang Chao can control the resources that others can't match, and he is clear about many important things.

I have always suspected that Cao Cao and Liu Bei would not watch themselves develop into a big country, but I didn't expect them to hit their minds on their own Zhangjia Trading Company. Not to mention, he is really not easy to accept this move.

Guo Jia has always suspected that Cao Cao and Liu Bei are plotting something, and he has been on guard against this. Now that I finally know what the other party thinks, while my heart is relaxed, I also have a headache for the other party's tricks. As it is difficult for the DPRK to have four first-class officials, he knows very well how much gold and silver can be brought in a year to trade with the Rus' country, and how much can be done with this money.

And now, someone is going to cut off their own financial resources. The so-called cutting off people's money is like killing their parents, Cao Cao and Liu Bei played ruthlessly.

But fortunately, knowing the other party's conspiracy, then you can prepare in advance, although this result may not be very good, but now it seems that there is no choice, Guo Jia thought about it for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the only way to do this is to agree to the second prince first, and then take advantage of this time difference to make a lot of money, as long as all the operations are kept confidential, maybe you can hold on for a while." ”

As soon as Guo Jia said this, Zhang Chao understood his intentions, so he also nodded and said, "Okay, then I will write back to Zhang Qiang and ask him to agree to the request of the second prince." Fortunately, there is still time, let him make some preparations in advance, hey, it seems that he is also ready to use troops. ”

After Zhang Chao sighed, Guo Jia also knew what he meant. In the past, there was a Zhangjia trading company in the Rus' country, mediating between the powerful ministers, and saying all the good things about the Celestial Empire, and the relationship between the two countries was naturally okay, at least in terms of performance. But then, once there is no middleman, I am afraid that things will slowly change, if Cao Cao and Liu Bei are using some means, I am afraid that it is very likely that the sword soldiers will meet each other.

Knowing the possible results, Guo Jia arched his hand on the side and said, "Your Majesty put it down, Jia will be ready to deal with it from today on." ”

"Hmm." Zhang Chao nodded, now facing the Rus Kingdom is not what he wants to see, what he wants is to solve the internal problems first, Cao Cao and Liu Bei will not be destroyed, it will eventually be a big problem. But I'm afraid that if the plan doesn't change quickly, others won't give me such time.

After Zhang Chao discussed with Guo Jia, he wrote a reply. Another ten days through the spread of the letter eagle, Zhang Qiang received this handwritten letter, after reading it, he burned it, and then frowned for a while, and then he said to his deputy Zhang Liang: "Go, inform me, prepare some gifts, I will visit some people in the near future." ”

Zhang Liang, who was also a member of the original Zhang family's army, only later retired because he injured his left arm in battle, and because he was clever, he was arranged to help Zhang Qiang here in the Rus Kingdom and became the most important deputy.

Seeing Zhang Qiang speak, Zhang Liang agreed and went to do it in person.
