Chapter 383: Talking

"Boss Lin is really young and promising, I admire it, my wife likes it very much, thank you Boss Lin."

"Miss An An is also getting more and more like you......"

Lin Wan'er held the teacup and thanked them one by one, and it was very helpless for a person in his fifties to call himself you.

"The president is here!"

After chatting for a while, a man in his forties appeared in the hall of the venue, followed by a man dressed in red, who went directly to the second floor after saying a few words to the steward below.

This time the Chamber of Commerce was held very large, in fact, the people who really had the ability to make friends were arranged on the second floor, and the first floor was full of small households, or they came in opportunistically.

After seeing him come up, a group of people tacitly did not say much, but waited for him to come and speak.

The president was caught at the stairs and asked a few questions, and he came here after a while, and he didn't have any opinion when he saw Lin Wan'er sitting in the main seat, in fact, this time he also stained Lin Wan'er with some light, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to get together so many people.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, did you get any news when you came back this time?" A man who sat down got up to say hello, and the others also nodded, and the president asked them all to sit, there was no need to engage in those false things,

"That's right." Seeing that everyone was listening quietly, the president's brows furrowed slightly, "Here's the thing, I came back with the army halfway this time, and on the way I met a few traveling merchants who came back from the border, and they told us some things, I hope everyone will be careful." ”

Lin Wan'er looked at his serious face, and a trace of light crossed her eyes: "President, is there something happening on the frontier?" ”

The army has just returned with the generals, and the officials who have come to negotiate peace with the Huns, if they do something against their word at this time, won't the frontier suffer?

"It's fine for the time being." Looking at the heavy faces of everyone, the chairman shook his head: "Although the Huns were defeated by our army this time, they may not be sincere, the war is not over, there will be again, if you take the caravan, you still have to pay attention." ”

Lin Wan'er squinted her eyes and thought about it, the dispute between the Xiongnu and the Central Plains can be said to be continuous every year, and the outbreak of a large-scale war this time is obviously that the Xiongnu have been unable to suppress their ambitions, but I heard that this time our army has beaten the place with heavy casualties, why is there such a statement?

She couldn't figure it out, so she asked the president directly: "President, is there any basis for what You Shang said?" "It's not that Lin Wan'er doesn't trust her, she just hopes that if she says it more clearly, they can also defend themselves in the future.

"They have been traveling between various small countries before, and it is said that they found that the Xiongnu army did not retreat, but kept in place, and sometimes secretly moved some distances forward, and some soldiers recruited troops in various countries, and some who did not want to participate in the war were directly executed."

When the chairman said this, his eyes were full of compassion, and the disasters brought about by the war were unimaginable, mixed between the two great powers, and if they could not find refuge, they could only be implicated.

"They still won't give up." A young man touched his chin and thought, "Should we say that they have iron heads, or should we say that they are not self-sufficient?" ”

Lin Wan'er frowned slightly, thinking that the Huns were probably unwilling, right?

After all, at the beginning, it was their side that had a strong position, and as soon as they came, they captured several cities in a row, and they saw that they would soon be able to enter the hinterland, and suddenly the situation was reversed, and the territory they occupied before not only had to be returned inch by inch, but even their own land was occupied by a lot, so such a strong gap was not comfortable no matter who it was.

"So they have other plans, so are the officials who followed the army into Beijing this time really Hun officials?" Lin Wan'er was worried that they were making a false move, the purpose was to delay the time to cultivate their army, let the Central Plains army relax their vigilance, and let them take it by surprise.

The president's expression was a little ugly: "It's hard to be sure, after all, they haven't seen it yet, but since they are coming to the Central Plains, they should bring one or two people from the royal family." ”

This is also the most uncertain place for them, and they can't see through what the Huns mean.

Lin Wan'er put forward the doubts in her heart, and then the chairman looked at everyone and solemnly emphasized a few words: "The generals on the front line are the guarantee of our stable life, many people have lost a lot of things because of the war, and the gentleman loves money in a good way."

We are businessmen, but we must also pay attention to the way we do business, and we must not arbitrarily raise prices because of the value of materials, and we must not make war profits, which is detrimental to yin morality, everyone knows it. ”

Many people will do whatever it takes for the sake of profit, and what can be bought with a few taels of silver can be lifted to a dozen taels or even dozens of taels in such a critical time.

After going south and north for so many years, he had seen too many such situations in foreign lands, which he was very unwilling to see in the Central Plains, so after the war began, he could only be strict with his caravans, and he must prevent this kind of thing from happening.

"Don't worry, sir, we've got you covered." The people below responded one after another, saying that this would not happen.

After the president finished speaking, it was time to start the banquet, the little guys neatly cleaned up the tea on the table, and then put on a plate of exquisite dishes, Lin Wan'er tasted it while noting down the favorite tastes, and turned around and asked Zhao Mulle to do it too.

"Boss Lin, here is a trader from the northwest, I have heard of Boss Lin's name for a long time, and I really deserved it when I saw it today." A tall but thin man stepped forward to toast Lin Wan'er with a wine glass, and his eye sockets and face were different from those of the Central Plains, which made Lin Wan'er suspect that he was a minority of famous people.

"Childe is overstated." Lin Wan'er raised her glass and didn't plan to drink more, after all, she came with a child, and drinking too much would have a bad effect.

After the man came over, he directly said his thoughts, which roughly meant that he wanted to invite Lin Wan'er to their side to cooperate in opening a store.

Lin Wan'er carefully asked about the situation on their side, and then shook her head and refused: "I'm sorry, I can't go that far for the time being, because the climate of your side is different from that of the capital, if you cooperate in the past, you will need to wait for me to come up with a more suitable formula, and this matter still needs to be considered in the long run." ”

The man didn't look like he was perfunctory when he looked at Lin Wan'er, the few questions he asked before were indeed different from the situation in the capital and his side, so he shook his head with some regret, and could only give up this matter.

After the man left, Shangguan Yu, who was dressed in red, came over, dragged a chair and sat beside her, hanging his legs cross: "Isn't that person's proposal just now okay?" ”
