Chapter 228: The Shopkeeper of the Caravan

Li Kuan looked at the official bow post in shock, because of the old people of the family introduced by Zhining personally.

These old people are even older, basically in their nineties.

"You attach so much importance to it just to join my business empire, and I hope I can help you establish a commercial channel between Datang and the Western Regions?"

Li Kuan, who was already able to drink, gently took a sip of Western Regions wine and covered the shock on his face with a wine glass.

The old man on the opposite side nodded slightly, indicating that it was right.

His brows furrowed slightly, and Li Kuan's heart muttered, this matter is difficult to say, and it is simple to say, but Li Kuan needs to think about other things.

It is nothing to cooperate with the Maison, for him, he can also infiltrate through commercial cooperation, understand the industrial and economic level of the Maison, and even clamp their development through business, so as to take this opportunity to clamp down in the future.

Thinking of the clamping, Li Kuan frowned, and said coldly: "You should have other plans." ”

"It is possible for me to be restrained from doing business with me too deeply, I have already let you experience it once, and it is impossible for you to forget the feeling of being restricted in a certain industry."

"But you still have to come to me to cooperate, if you want to say that you don't have any ideas, I don't believe it."

Li Kuanke still remembers the scene when he used the ham processing factory not to accept the family's beef and mutton.

That time, he used ham technology to limit the beef and mutton slaughtered by the family, making them lose a lot of money and demonstrating their ability.

It can be said that the family has just been restricted for a long time, and they are looking for themselves to cooperate in depth, which Li Kuan feels is abnormal.

The old people of the family looked at each other, and then collectively sneered.

Yu Zhining next to him also sneered, Li Kuan's vigilance was really strong.

The old man chuckled: "But isn't this just right?" ”

"We will be inseparable from the Western Regions for a while and a half, and we don't want to go against Datang, so handing over part of our authority to Datang is the best choice."

Li Kuan's brows were loosened, and what he said like this could also be explained.

Even if the families don't take the initiative to hand over some of their authority, so that Li Shimin can intervene in the Western Regions, with Li Shimin's character, sooner or later they will intervene.

In this regard, Li Kuan's mood has improved a lot.

Picking up the wine glass and toasting everyone with a glass of wine, Li Kuan's mood was also much better.

"We also want to buy Gaochang cotton's textile technology here at King Chu."

The old people of the family put forward their own needs, and Li Kuan raised his eyebrows and nodded in agreement.

"Yes, but like wool spinning, I only sell machines, not technology."

"The technical guys have to find a way to overcome it themselves, anyway, I also have a large area here in the Western Regions to grow cotton."

Li Kuan wants to recover his own R&D costs.

Yes, the elders of the family agreed.

Anyway, they use cotton clothes more here, and when they reach Central Asia, they use them less.

After some negotiations, the cooperation between the two sides is very pleasant.

One side is willing to cooperate, the other side is willing to give in, and both sides have shown their sincerity, which can be said to be very pleasant cooperation.

After the cooperation was completed, Li Kuan sent them away with a smile.

After everyone left, Li Kuan leaned on Fang Yu's arms and enjoyed the massage service from Fang Yu.

Li Kuan was pillowed on Fang Yu's lap, pressed by her temples, soothing the pain from the end, while thinking about how he should choose next.

Before coming to the Western Regions, Li Daozong told him that he could return to Chang'an.

Now he has grown up to be old enough to be able to go to court.

And now the grasslands and the Western Regions have gradually succumbed to calm, on the contrary, there is a certain amount of turmoil within the Tang Dynasty because of the migration of the family.

"Go back to Chang'an, or continue to stay in the Western Regions?"

Li Kuan couldn't help but mutter.

He also probed the information of Chang'an and came to the conclusion that the current Chang'an City is in chaos and chaos.

None of the three princes do serious things, they are secretly playing against each other every day, and they are not above board at all.

Li Chengqian eats and waits for death every day, relying on his status as a prince to live, and I heard that some time ago, he also got a few Turks to enter the East Palace.

But Li Chengqian disguised it well, and he listened to the teacher's lectures, and he agreed with everything the teacher said, but he just didn't implement it.

Li Tai wrote poems and composed music every day, greeted Li Shimin every day, and organized a group of people to write a book, saying that he would write a geography book for Li Shimin that collected the land situation in various parts of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Ke wandered around the events of Chang'an City every day, as if he wanted to prove to others that he was indeed very similar to Li Shimin and very capable.

These three people are also blackmailing each other, you slander me a reputation today, and I slander you a reputation tomorrow.

In addition to the three of them, Li Shimin's other sons are also constantly causing trouble.

Removing the princes, Li Kuan also found out that some officials wanted to turn themselves into emperors everywhere after the families left, and wanted to make themselves local overlords.

Of course, this is the inevitable process of history, it is just a matter of time.

After thinking about the internal situation of the Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan felt that it was better for him to stay in the Western Regions for the time being, otherwise it would be better to stay in the grassland and engage in pastures.

It just so happens that he is going to build his own dog farm on the grassland recently.

Thinking about it, Li Kuan found that Fang Yu's hand was caressing his chest.

Opening his eyes and looking at the confusion in Fang Yu's eyes, Li Kuan sighed lightly, this is really not good news.

However, who made him promise Fang Yu before, and now he has to agree.

got up, waved his hand to let the maid at the door leave, Li Kuan took off the inconvenient things on his body, hugged Fang Yu and lay down.

Fang Yu blushed and cooperated.

Outside the door, Minglan who was about to report to Li Kuan about her situation sighed lightly after hearing the sound in the room, turned to leave, and asked the maid outside the door to pay attention to the handover when she left.

Minglan came all the way to the living room and apologized to the shopkeeper in the name of the Chu Wangfu who was sitting here.

"Shopkeeper Lin, King Chu has something important to deal with now, why don't you come back tomorrow?"

The chubby shopkeeper Lin had a bitter face, and hurriedly took out a wallet from his cuff to hand it to Minglan and said in a panic: "Please help me announce it again." ”

Minglan frowned slightly, and said dissatisfiedly: "Shopkeeper Lin, the caravan in the Western Regions you are in charge of is not profitable, where did you get the money to bribe me?" ”

The voice of dissatisfaction was overflowing, and the shopkeeper Lin opened his mouth, so he had to smile bitterly: "I am dissatisfied with you and said that this is the private money I have accumulated." ”

"Moreover, if the caravan does not make money, it does not mean that we, the shopkeepers, in the system created by His Highness, do not make money."

Minglan shook her head, saying that she didn't understand, she was just a personal maid.

"Shopkeeper Lin, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is indeed busy, there is no way to see you, if you are particularly anxious today, then I will report again."

"If you're not in a hurry, let's go back first."

"If you bribe me, I will report it truthfully."

Shopkeeper Lin opened his mouth, didn't say anything, and left with a sigh.
