Chapter 44 Luo Hao's Details
"Although I know that you are a member of the Fire Phoenix Army, you still need to explain why you want to go to Luo Hao's house to investigate, what do you want to find?" Xue Yan asked with some curiosity, different from the aggressiveness when facing the enemy, after realizing that it was her own person, Xue Yan's attitude eased a little, but the doubts in her heart still existed.

The egret thought for a moment, and slowly told the deal between Luo Hao and the youngest son of the Hanyu King, but he didn't say much. For example, he used fake poison to deceive the little prince, and the speculation that Luo Hao wanted this passage path.
Xue Yan's expression was a little solemn.
Her original purpose was to find this elixir medicine that Luo Hao had collected. This is the elixir of the legendary emperor's tomb, a miraculous medicine that can treat various lesions. By chance, Luo Hao got one in the recent transaction, and the news reached the ears of the dark guard. is also because Luo Hao himself is a hypocrite, but he is actually a womanizer. arranged for Xue Yan to deliberately approach and blend into Luo Hao's residence.
For Luo Hao, it is easy to accommodate a stunning beauty disguised as a singer. Xue Yan's acting skills are good, what she pretends to be, she looks simple and charming, even if it is poison, Luo Hao, an old pervert, has to swallow it without changing her face.
It's just that these times, Luo Hao is really busy. Xueyan is also a very capable spy. Protect yourself well.
Now that Egret has said what Luo Hao has participated in in the past few days, it also explains the secret of why Luo Hao is always busy.
"I stayed in Luo for seven or eight days, and I didn't have much contact with it. But what I know for sure is that Luo Hao will not be a spy of the grassland. Xue Yan said slowly, "This guy is a businessman planted by Prime Minister Lu Cheng on the border. has a certain ability and background, and his main purpose of collecting money to make money is to earn money for Prime Minister Lu. ”
Naturally, the egret will not judge easily, and it only listens to one side. However, Xue Yan's intelligence is also very important, this Luo Hao is not an ordinary businessman with no foundation at all, if he is a confidant businessman of the high-ranking and powerful Prime Minister Lu Cheng, it can explain the reason why he can stand on the border. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been able to fight the relationship between the Fire Phoenix Army on Liufu's side. It can also achieve a two-legged posture.
However, if Luo Hao wants to get the passage map or guidance of the trail, is it really just for business? This trail controlled by the palace is really like a thorn stuck in the throat, so that the egret does not dare to relax at all.
It is not used for strategic purposes, and it is of course a good thing to lure the steppe people around the border pass. But if you use it for this, it's a big problem.
"There are not many people at the border who do such a big business as Luo Hao. Over the past year, the funds sold into the Central Plains by foreign countries have been enough for a quarter of the military expenses of the Fire Phoenix Army. This is only the income of Luo Hao's family. The egret asked while thinking, "Why does a prime minister need such a huge supply of funds?"
"Moreover, when he was in the secret room just now, Luo Hao had a lot of wealth. Those treasures, even if they are estimated, are no less than the military expenses of the Fire Phoenix Army for three years. Luo Hao is a businessman, with such wealth, and he is so proactive in taking risks to get a trail guide or a direction map. It's a bit unreasonable to say it's to make money. ”
Xueyan didn't say anything, she just shook her head.
"I'm just telling you what I know. Whether it is the other party's funds or wealth, I can't deduce what it will be used for, and I don't have this interest. My mission is accomplished, well, with your help. Xue Yan said to the white herret, "So the rest of the matter is up to you officers to think about it." I'm going to have to go back day and night. ”
The lord's illness is imminent.
Egret also knew, and he had used this to deceive Xueyan before, but Xueyan was so anxious that he really didn't have time to worry about this with Egret. Before leaving, Xue Yan turned her head to look at the egret and said two words in a soft voice.
"Thank you. ”
Then this graceful woman jumped out of Luo Hao's mansion in an instant, and after a few blinks of her eyes, she could no longer see a human figure.
The egret scratched his head, and could only say in the air of the nobody: "You're welcome." ”
When the egret returned to the residence, he quickly packed his luggage.
This exploration of Luo Hao's mansion was not for nothing. He asked the elf to record a few booklets, which recorded Luo Hao's complete transaction records in detail.
As an AI-like aid, the elf should not be too fast to sort out this thing, so a few records will soon be turned into a summary table by it.
From the perspective of trading objects, Luo Hao's trading parties mainly have three forces, one is a tribe called Dom Khan on the grassland, and the other is a big force in the Central Plains, Shanmiao Chamber of Commerce.
The other is a force from the Chu State, there is no record of what kind of force it is, but there is a person named Chu Wanjun.
The reason why he knew that this person was from Chu was because Luo Hao recorded this person's investigation information in great detail in the booklet. Although there is a large part of the unknown, but the other party is a big force from the Chu State, this is not wrong.
Shanmiao Chamber of Commerce, this is a chamber of commerce opened in the power of Prime Minister Lu's family. This is very consistent with the information that Xueyan said. Luo Hao did not blatantly directly transport the money to Prime Minister Lu, but took the way of trading. Looking at the goods and the funds in and out of the bill, Egret can almost judge that there is almost no price difference between the two.
In other words, here in the Shanmiao Chamber of Commerce, Luo Hao did something at a loss. This is equivalent to supplying funds to Prime Minister Lu.
However, when he saw the trading volume specifically, even though the egret was mentally prepared, he was still shocked.
Luo Hao's side supplies foreign goods in this way, and Shan Miao can get at least 200,000 silver dollars in profits from him every year.
That's a lot of money. It is not a problem to support an elite cavalry corps of 10,000 people. As a prime minister, such wealth is staggering. Of course, Bai Lu is not familiar with the situation on Prime Minister Lu's side, even judging from Xue Yan's attitude of only a few words, maybe the lord of the country is a little uneasy about this prime minister.
And the most important thing is the deal between Luo Hao and the steppe tribe Dom Khan. The important thing is not how rare Luo Hao's transaction with him is, such a channel will not lack businessmen who dare to do border business.
What frightened Egret was only the content of Luo Hao's transaction with the other party.
Ceramic, it doesn't matter. Silk, not important.
However, when an iron word appeared in front of the egret's eyes, the egret didn't feel that things were easy anyway.
