Remember [Bayi Chinese Network] in one second to provide you with wonderful reading.
After receiving such news, Mo Changqing's face was extremely solemn, other people may not know it very well, but as the head of the clan and having decades of grudges with the Ji family, he understands how difficult this matter is. γBaidu Search Bayi Chinese Network Wudong Qiankun latest chapterγ
The Ji family can be regarded as a relative of the emperor, and there are many girls in his clan who have been named county lords or county lords, and the Turkic royal court has never intermarried with the Central Plains since the beginning of the previous dynasty. He remembered that seven or eight years ago, there was a girl in the Ji family who was selected to marry in the grassland, although he didn't know what status the girl of the Ji family was marrying, but her status was definitely not low, and she must be a person in the Turkic royal court.
Now, when the Yongzhou Silk Trading Company headed by the Ji family encountered this transaction, it was as if it was sent directly to them to congratulate them on the establishment of their trading company. What's more, the Ji family's reputation has always been good, even if the Ji family's workshop has a problem now, the supply of materials is not as timely as in previous years. But now that he has established a trading company and gathered several major merchants, he is still afraid that there will be no supply of goods. Now, even if there are ten more Wang Mazi, his Ji family can successfully accept it in the name of the trading company, and as a result, the current problem encountered by his Ji family is solved.
Two days after Xie Gexian returned to Yongzhou, he received a message from Shangjing and asked him to go up.
So before leaving, Xie Gexian asked Ping'an to invite Mo Li over.
"I don't know who Old Lady Mo is going to send over to negotiate this deal?" This time, Xie Gexian officially met Mo Li in the study, which was a little more solemn than before.
Mo Li took the tea handed over by Ping'an, and thanked him before he spoke: "It has been decided that there is a fifth uncle in the clan, who has been following my third uncle all the time, helping to take care of some private properties in the hands of the third uncle, and the fifth uncle is meticulous. Steady personality. In addition, several other companies in the silk industry also sent people to help. β
"The person chosen by Old Lady Mosan. Maybe better than the people sent out by the Ji family? Xie Gexian looked at Mo Li as he spoke, and added. Can you beat Han Sidao? β
Hearing this, Mo Li couldn't help but hesitate. She has seen the fifth uncle, and she has dealt with him several times in the past two years, in all fairness, the fifth uncle is indeed stable. The mind is indeed fine, but it is not flexible enough. If the business on weekdays is handed over to him, there will be no mistakes, but if it is a business full of unknowns and variables, and it has a lot to do with it, I really dare not say whether the fifth uncle can handle it.
As for Han Sidao. The calm and careful thinking in trading, the ten years he has been by the side of Master Mo San are enough to explain the problem. And as soon as he broke away from Master Mo San, he offended the Mo family. Not only is he not down, but he also has his own private property, in addition, his status is much higher than before.
This is no longer something that can be explained by luck, and flexibility should be his forte.
At this time, Mo Li didn't know that the Ji family was related to the Turkic royal court, because Mo Li was not in the team going to the grassland. So Mo Changqing didn't tell her about it. No elder would consider letting a boudoir woman. Thousands of miles north to grab business with people.
But Xie Gexian thought about it and decided. Therefore, when he opened his mouth today, he slowly explained the relationship between the Ji family and the Turkic royal court.
After Mo Li listened, she was stunned for a while, she finally understood why the third uncle was so ugly when he heard that he was going to rob the Ji family of this deal.
After Xie Gexian finished speaking, he took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "So, Your Highness means that Miss Mo can't fly away on this trip." β
Mo Li raised his eyes in surprise: "Your Highness? β
Xie Gexian smiled lightly: "Where did Ah Sheng stay on the night he rescued the girl from Changchun Courtyard, the girl really thought that the people on the third prince's side didn't know?" β
Mo Li was so shocked that she almost stood up, but Xie Gexian didn't want to scare her, only paused for a while, and then continued: "It was His Highness's people who stopped it." β
ββ¦β¦ Why? After a long time, Mo Li asked these three words.
"I heard that the Turks took Mingshan this time, Ah Sheng made a great effort, and now even the people of the Ashina family of the Turkic royal court are courteous to him. And before he left the grassland, he already had a certain reputation over there, so if he could get his support, he might not be able to compete with the Ji family. β
Mo Li was surprised again, but after thinking for a while, she noticed that there was something faintly wrong in this matter, hesitated for a moment, and asked directly: "If the people over there in Beijing want Silk Bank to get this deal and suppress the Ji family, why don't you just use the convenience of his identity?" β
No wonder she asked this, he once thought that such a high-ranking person had been designated as the person of the prince, and what he wanted to do was not just a matter of his words. Thinking of his former self, Xie Gexian couldn't help but shake his head and smile, and then said: "If Your Highness intervenes, the third prince will naturally not watch it, but Your Majesty doesn't want to see his two sons even fighting over such things, so this matter can only be handled by yourself." β
Mo Li suddenly felt that his palms were slightly wet, and even a little trance, this road, unconsciously, actually came here.
Originally, she just wanted to keep the family property left by her father, fulfill her grandfather's wish, and find out who was behind the unexpected death of her grandfather and father. But how ridiculous fate is, and what a miraculous thing, the battle between her Mo family and the Ji family has now become a contest between two people on the clouds.
"Therefore, His Royal Highness will not give you any help, and the Ji family naturally does not need the help of the three princes." Xie Gexian's clear voice was accompanied by the usual gentleness, "Therefore, this trip Miss Mo must go in person, I believe in Miss Mo's ability, and I also believe that Ah Sheng will not disappoint the girl's expectations." β
Mo Li was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked, "If so, what if the Mo family withdraws from this matter?" Today's silk line is not a thing of the Mo family. β
Xie Gexian sighed lightly: "The girl should understand in her heart that some things can be retreated if you don't want to, and there are some roads that have no way to retreat at all." β
Mo Li raised his eyes: "If there is a negative hope, what will happen?" β
Xie Gexian hesitated for a while before he said: "Your Highness is not a narrow-minded person, if the silk line fails, then Your Highness will no longer be able to speak out to protect the silk line, in order to avoid suspicion, it should not care about this side of the matter." And even if I have the heart, it will not help me with the power of one person. β
In the market, when the common good can be seen, everyone will contribute and do their best. On the contrary, it is naturally impossible to avoid.
Mo Li frowned slightly, he had already offended a huge force, if he didn't have a backer, he really didn't need the prince to be angry, and the Mo family would be swallowed up. The profits are big, the crisis is also big, and whether she wants to or not, whether she or the Mo family has no right to refuse. Because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince checked Ah Sheng's matter, he saw some possibilities in her.
Not long after coming out of Xie Gexian, Mo Changqing also got the news, so he immediately sent someone to invite Mo Li over.
Since it was the people above who deliberately opened their mouths to give orders, Mo Changqing naturally didn't dare to disobey, but the more concerned the people above were, the more worried he was. Even if there is no one to compete for it, it is not always possible to negotiate it, let alone such an unfavorable situation.
In the quiet study, Mo Changqing pushed a bag of things in front of her under Mo Li's shocked gaze: "Bring this over, maybe it will be useful." β
Then before Mo Li could speak, Mo Changqing ordered again: "Mo Gu, you will still lead the team this time, but after arriving there, it was decided that the fifteen girls would come down, and you would do your best to help her." Also, no matter what the outcome of this trip is, you have to bring people back to me. β
β¦β¦
On June 20, Mo Li set off in the reluctant tears of Old Lady Mo Zhu and Mo Xue, as well as the worried eyes of Jia Hei and Uncle Gu.
For the sake of safety, Mogu contacted a large caravan with the people in the silk shop, and then also joined them with some of his own horses and went north together.
"I heard that the people from the Silk Trading Company had already set off seven days ago, and in addition to Han Sidao, Ji Yufeng also followed." On the first night of leaving Yongzhou, when the caravan stopped for dinner in a small town on the road, Mogu walked to Mo Li's side. Mo Gu is a man of about forty, and he has been following Mo Changqing for more than 20 years, and in the past 20 years, he has long developed the habit of asking everything about it as clearly as possible every time he does something. And an important reason why Mo Changqing chose him to go to the grassland before was that Mo Gu knew some Turkic languages.
Mo Li nodded, and after calling out to the fifth uncle, he asked, "What is the relationship between Ji Yufeng and the woman who was married to the Turks by the Ji family?" β
"It's his aunt, called Ji Yuyan." Mogu said in a low voice, and then added, "Ji Yuyan is married to Ashina, the younger brother of the Turkic Khan. Tu Li, now he is the big Ye Hu in the royal court, which is equivalent to the general on our side. β
"What is the power of the Qiyan tribe on the other side of the grassland?"
"The Qiyan tribe is the largest tribe under the Turkic royal court, and I heard that the Turks have taken the grasslands and hills around Mingshan this time, and the people of the Qiyan tribe have made great contributions, and now their reputation on the grassland is also extremely high."
Mo Li was silent for a while, and then asked, "Is the war over there really over?" β
originally asked him to go home to avoid it, but he didn't think that he would go directly to the battlefield this time. The sword has no eyes, and the folk wind over there has always been fierce, and she feels a thrill just thinking about it.
"I heard that it was over a month ago, but this is thousands of miles away, even if there is a businessman over there who brings the news back, it was a month ago, and we really can't say what the actual situation is." Mo Gu said, glanced at the dozen or so people sitting at the other table, and continued, "Those are the dart masters invited by the caravan, in short, after the Zhao Dynasty, you should be vigilant, don't get out of the carriage if you have nothing to do." In the vast grassland, although it is safer for us to follow the caravan, the caravan is often the most attractive to horse thieves. (To be continued)
