Chapter 681: Gan Mao stayed
This time for the caravan to the Western Regions, Feng Quji set up a caravan of more than 2,000 people, but the caravan of 2,000 people was not his alone, but a group of nobles from Xianyang City.
Of course, it was only the nobles who were close to Feng Quji, and the other powerful nobles all formed caravans on their own.
Basically, there are caravans of 100 people, and there are also 500 people, and Meng Baigan's three families are caravans of 500 people.
Among Feng Quji's caravan of 2,000 people, Feng Quji had 500 people, and Li Si also had 500 people.
Therefore, Sun Ke and Li Qiang will know about each other.
In the end, Li Si stayed behind to entertain the envoys of various countries, and Feng Quji left the room.
Just opened the door of the room, and he saw Bai Siqi, Meng Xifan, and Gan Mao, and the three of them looked at him with disdain.
Feng Quji suddenly had a feeling of being caught cheating, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly, and said, "Three family masters, don't come to harm."
"Hmph, didn't you come back?" Bai Siqi sneered.
Gan Mao said: "Feng Xiang may have something to do, and it is inconvenient to see us, we can understand, but you don't say a word and leave the three of us aside, which is a bit excessive."
Two words too much, and the voice became a little heavier.
Feng Qujian heard their ridicule and anger, so he smiled awkwardly and said, "The three family masters, please listen to my quibbles, no, please listen to my explanation."
Hearing the word quibble, Bai Siji's eyes changed, why did you blatantly say that you were quibbling? I really don't take them seriously.
Fortunately, in the end, the explanation was changed, and the three of Gan Mao thought that Feng Qujian was a slip of the tongue.
Immediately, Feng Quji led the three family masters out of the Western Courtyard, explaining in the Western Courtyard that he was afraid that the envoys of the Western Regions would hear it.
After leaving the Western Courtyard, Feng Quji said, "Three family masters, I am on the orders of His Majesty the First Emperor to specially entertain the envoys of the Western Regions."
"Is there really an envoy from the Western Regions?" Gan Mao said excitedly, he didn't care about what Feng Quji had concealed back.
Now what they care about is the envoys of the countries of the Western Regions, with these envoys, they can completely open the Western Regions market, and with the Western Regions market, then their family status will be more secure.
Feng Qu bowed his head and said, "It seems that as I expected, the three family masters have already guessed. In that case, then please keep quiet about this matter."
"That's a great thing, why don't you keep it?" Bai Siqi asked.
Feng Quji sighed and said, "The Bai family master, there are many people, once the merchants of the Western Regions know about His Majesty's ambition and cause the countries of the Western Regions to unite, this will also be a very important thing for my Great Qin.
Therefore, His Majesty does not want too many people to know about this until he learns the news of the countries of the Western Regions.
However, the three heads of the family have already guessed, so now there are two plans, one should not know what to do, and go back to the house directly.
Second, join me in learning about the situation in the Western Regions, and then come with me to see Your Majesty and let Your Majesty absolutely deal with us."
Gan Mao and the three of them immediately looked at each other, they never thought that they would have to return to His Majesty for participating in this matter.
Doesn't this disrupt their plans, they don't want His Majesty to know about it at all.
In the end, Gan Mao said, "Lao Bai, Lao Meng, you go back, you can't participate in this matter, I will stay with Feng Xiang to receive those envoys from the Western Regions."
"Why did you stay? Why do you stay?" Bai Siqi said unhappily.
Meng Xifan, who was on the side, immediately grabbed Bai Siqi's arm and said, "Lao Gan doesn't let us participate, we won't participate, let's go, let's go back."
"But ......"
"It's nothing, let's go...... Go back, let's go back." Meng Xifan pushed Bai Siqi and left.
Only then did Gan Mao say, "What, Feng Xiang, can I go with you to meet the envoys of the Western Regions.
Absolutely." Feng Qujian said, "This way, please."
Gan Mao nodded, followed Feng Qujian back to the West Courtyard, and then entered the house in the West Courtyard.
When Li Si saw Feng Quji coming back, he stood up, but found Gan Mao again, so he stepped forward to greet him.
"Feng Xiang, the head of the Gan family." After Li Si said hello, he introduced to all the envoys, "Fellow envoys, this is one of the greatest nobles in Great Qin, the head of the Gan family, and the eldest father of Prime Minister Zuo of Great Qin.
Now I want to do business with you, everyone is welcome."
Immediately, an envoy from the Western Regions stood up and said, "Respected Lord of the Gan family, I am the envoy of the Dawan Kingdom, and I hope that my Dawan Kingdom can have business dealings with the Gan family."
"I, Wusun Kingdom, am also willing to have business dealings with the Gan family master."
"The Yueshi Kingdom welcomes people from the Gan family to come to the Yueshi to do business."
「……」
For a time, the envoys of the seven Western Regions countries all wanted to do business with the Gan family, not only because the Gan family was a big family of Great Qin, but more importantly, because Gan Mao's grandson was the prime minister of Zuo.
From the conversation just now, they already knew that the highest power in Great Qin was the First Emperor Yingzheng, followed by the two prime ministers on the left and right.
The two prime ministers have the power to speak in the court, and as long as they have this power, they can do a lot of things in the future.
Gan Mao was a little confused, but it was just an introduction from Li Si, and the envoys of various countries were like a little bee that smelled the nectar, and they swarmed them and surrounded them.
"Thank you all for your kindness." Gan Mao smiled and said, "As long as everyone can let me know more about the Western Regions, I will definitely form another caravan and go to your country to do business."
And on behalf of Great Qin, I welcome you to come to Great Qin to do business."
Feng Qu laughed and said, "The Gan family master is right, as long as we know more about the affairs of the Western Regions, we can form more caravans and go to different countries.
To be honest, the countries of the Western Regions are not our destination, and our destination is further away.
You will know about it later, and now you know it, and it will be of no use to you."
The envoy of the Yue clan said, "Feng Xiang, who said that we don't know, there are a total of thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, and further north is a cold place, very barren and rarely populated.
But to the west, however, there are quite a few other countries, including the Mauryan and Persian dynasties.
These two dynasties are also very powerful and wealthy, of course, compared to Great Qin, they are a little worse, but their territory is still very large, maybe even bigger than Great Qin."
"How familiar do you know these two countries?" Feng Qujian asked curiously.
Gan Mao asked, "Wait, you said that there are thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, why do I only see ...... Seven of you, and you will see seven of you?"
"Bai Family Master, haven't you asked the people of the Bai family's caravan?" Li Si asked in surprise.
