Chapter 248: Iron and Stone Mortgage, Beginning to Contact Anti-Qin People
Gongzijia did not take Bai Yan back to his mansion, but after a detour, he came to another mansion.
In this vast mansion, Bai Yan also saw the princess Zhao Qiu, who had a one-sided relationship.
"Xu Zixiao, I've seen Princess Zhao Qiu!"
Bai Yan came to the pavilion and bowed to Zhao Qiu.
Seeing Zhao Qiu again, recalling the intimacy in the red attic that day, Zhao Qiu in front of him felt a little less enchanting and more arrogant.
When Bai Yan saluted, he looked at the ground quietly.
"Junzi Xu doesn't have to be polite!"
Zhao Qiu got up and saluted.
As he got up, Zhao Qiu's long hair was coiled up, and the hairpin pendant swayed.
Looking at Xu Zixiao, who actually lied to himself that night with only 5,000 stones, he knew that this surname Xu was not as simple as it seemed, and Zhao Qiu didn't bother to say anything, so he looked at Gongzi Jia beside Bai Yan.
"Why did you bring him to me today?"
Zhao Qiu asked.
After Bai Yanli finished his salute, he stood aside, listening to Zhao Qiu's words, and he didn't pay much attention to the tone of rejection thousands of miles away.
"Fang Cai Guo Kai went to find Zixiao, and took Zixiao to the restaurant, and then took him to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
Gongzijia said to Zhao Qiu.
When Zhao Qiu heard this, his pretty eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Gongzijia then informed Zhao Qiu of what had happened.
The most important of these is that Bai Yan once said later that Guo Kai knew that Xu Zixiao had 5,000 stone grain millet in his hands.
"I see!"
Zhao Qiu understood what Gongzijia meant, and turned around and left after speaking.
Gongzijia looked at Zhao Qiu's back, and there were not many people who knew that Xu Zixiao had 5,000 stone grains, only him, as well as Wu Cheng and Zhao Qiu.
Later, Wu Cheng knew that Xu Zixiao had 30,000 stone grain millet, so it was definitely not Wu Cheng who spread the news.
The place where the problem is must be here in Zhao Qiu.
"We don't have to worry about the rest of the matter!"
Gongzijia turned his head to look at Bai Yan, and then motioned for Bai Yan to take a seat.
Bai Yan nodded.
When Gongzijia appeared overnight, Bai Yan guessed that the relationship between Gongzijia and Zhao Qiu was by no means ordinary.
"Zixiao, there is no one at the moment, Jia said bluntly, is everything valuable can be used as collateral?"
Gongzijia came to the wooden table, knelt on the mat, and then turned his head to look at Bai Yan.
The appearance of Guo Kai has already made Gongzijia feel a crisis.
Inevitably there are many dreams at night, Gongzijia doesn't want to wait any longer, the sooner he gets the grain and grass, the better.
"Please also ask Gongzi to speak!"
Bai Yan knelt on the mat, looked at the wooden table in front of him, then looked at Gongzijia, and after Gongzijia finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to signal.
Inside the gazebo.
Gongzijia and Bai Yan looked at each other, and after a moment of silence, Gongzijia finally said something.
"Ironstone!"
Childe said to Bai Yan.
If it weren't for the last resort, Gongzi Jia really didn't want to take out this thing as a mortgage, the iron and stone were too sensitive, it was an important resource, and if he was not careful, he would be burned.
"Childe is so courageous!"
When Bai Yan heard Gongzijia's words, his brows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
At this time, in the courtyard in the distance, Zhao Qiu, who had instructed his subordinates to be clear, turned around and returned to the pavilion after the subordinates left.
Bai Yan watched Zhao Qiu go to another wooden table and sit down on his knees, his eyes looking at the wooden table.
For Zhao Qiu, Bai Yan was also very jealous.
Women have always been careful, not to mention a woman like Zhao Qiu, if she is slightly seen to be wrong at the moment, I am afraid that it will arouse suspicion.
Although he sent food to Zhao State, he didn't have to worry about his identity being suspicious.
But being cautious is not a bad thing after all.
"Handan's largest iron and stone mountain, its owner is Guo Zong, since the son said iron stone, it must be taken from the generation."
Bai Yan looked at Gongzi Jia with doubts, and asked softly, "Has that Gongzi ever thought about how the iron and stone could be used to offset the price, and how to transport it out of Zhao State?" β
Handan's largest iron industry is in the hands of Guo Zong, and this matter has already spread all over the world, which is not a secret.
Guo Zong relied on the iron industry to earn gold, and the family wealth is said to be no less than that of the princely clan.
"If Zixiao agrees, the price of iron and stone will be twice the market price."
Gongzijia was relieved when he heard that Bai Yan had signs of relenting.
Twice the market price, the cost of shipping out in Baiyan has been considered, and the cost of selling it in other places.
"As for how to transport it out, I hope Zixiao can wait for some time, and after the withdrawal of the Qin State this time, Jiading will arrange it."
Gongzi Jia said this, and also knew that this was a suspicion of empty words, so he hurriedly added: "Zixiao doesn't have to worry at all, Jia will make up five hundred gold first, and as for the iron and stone, all of them will be transported to Quyang, and Zixiao can also order someone to guard them at that time." β
Inside the gazebo.
When Zhao Qiu heard Gongzijia's words, his eyes looked at Bai Yan.
Bai Yan thought for a long time, and suddenly looked at Zhao Qiu, and his eyes met Zhao Qiu's eyes.
Bai Yan sighed deeply.
"Good!"
Bai Yan's face was embarrassed, and in the end, he hesitated for a long time before agreeing.
However, Bai Yan also has requirements.
"But this time, if the Zhao army can't resist the Qin army, and those iron stones are captured by the Qin army, it can't be regarded as a loss for the Xu family, and the son will make up for the Xu family."
Bai Yan looked at Gongzijia and threw the risk to Gongzijia.
"Yes!"
Gongzijia heard Bai Yan's words, thought about it, and nodded.
With the deal negotiated, the next step was to discuss when the grain would arrive and where it would enter the Zhao Kingdom.
An hour later.
When Gongzijia and Bai Yan were drinking and talking.
Many people of the noble clan appeared in the distance one after another.
"Let's go, Zixiao, I'll introduce you to you."
Seeing this, Gongzijia got up and said to Bai Yan.
Bai Yan nodded, and then followed Gongzijia out of the pavilion and walked towards those people of the Shi clan.
After getting closer, Gongzijia introduced Bai Yan to these men of different ages.
"Zixiao, this is Qu Yi, it is Qu Luan Jizi, the right Yin of the Chu State."
Gongzijia pointed to a man in his early thirties and introduced Bai Yan.
The man named Qu Yi heard Gongzijia's words and looked at Bai Yan.
"Xu Zixiao, I've seen Qu Junzi!"
Bai Yan arched his hand and said, he didn't expect that the first person to appear was actually the son of the Qu family of the three major families of the Chu State, and his father was still the right Yin of the Chu State.
Right Yin and Left Yin were both deputies of Ling Yin of the State of Chu, and Ling Yin was equivalent to the prime minister of the State of Qin.
"Qu Yi, I've seen Junzi Xu!"
Qu Yi, who was dressed in silk, raised his hand and returned the salute.
Looking at the young Bai Yan, Qu Yi has quite a lot of eyes, and his eyes are not lacking in intimacy.
After all, the strength of the Xu family, who can get 30,000 stone grain millet, is also a huge help for him, and it will definitely play a big role in the future, whether it is in the official career or in the family.
"Zixiao, this is Wei Kan, the younger brother of the monarch of the country!"
Gongzijia introduced a second person to Bai Yan.
After the destruction of Han, there should be seven vassal states today, among which the Wei State exists in name only, but it does exist.
Its monarch Weijiao is supported by the Qin State, and now the clansmen and clans of the Ji surname Zinan who defend the country are all in the wild king.
"Xu Zixiao, I've seen Junzi Wei!"
Bai Yan raised his hand to salute.
Looking at the man in front of him, Bai Yan was full of emotion, these people are really bold, the reason why the country was preserved ten years ago was completely because Lu Buwei was in power.
Wei Ying is the nobleman who defends the country, the powerful Wei Ying of the Qin State has made great contributions, and LΓΌ Buwei is afraid of the eyes of the world, so he preserves the country and allows the country to exist.
Even after Ying Zheng succeeded to the throne, he did not intend to destroy the country.
Unexpectedly.
In secret, the people of the Nan clan of Wei Guozi were unwilling to enjoy themselves, and tried in vain to get involved in the situation in the world.
The next few are all clans from other places.
Under the introduction of Gongzijia, Bai Yan got to know these anti-Qin people one by one.
When he heard that there were more important scholars who were already playing in Handan, and he didn't get in touch, Bai Yan could understand.
Now Handan City is not an exaggeration to say that it is a fairyland for rich scholars, if there is nothing important, those people will naturally not stay in the mansion.
Seeing that Gongzijia plans to hold a banquet in the evening, he will introduce them all.
Bai Yan nodded and did not refuse.
Bai Yan wanted to know how many anti-Qin Shi clans had gathered in Handan City.
Looking at Qu Yi, Bai Yan was thinking about how to set up a trap and inquired about the Zhang family, who had fled to Chu State, if he had come to Handan on this trip.
Suddenly, I saw a woman suddenly being taken to the gazebo by the next person.
The woman is in her thirties, and her clothes are not as extravagant as Qu Yi, Gongzijia and others, but they are by no means comparable to ordinary people.
Looking at the gazebo in the distance, the woman wept bitterly, kneeling in front of Zhao Qiu full of pleading, as if her body trembled and trembled because of fear.
Bai Yan was clear.
If there is nothing wrong, his news at the beginning was that this woman secretly betrayed Guo Kai.
If he hadn't told Gongzijia later that there was 30,000 stone of grain, he would really not be able to find out who leaked his news to others for a while.
