Longcheng Jiangdu has always been one of the economic centers of the Central Plains. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After the fall of the previous dynasty, there was a long period of decline.

However, after the establishment of the Liang Dynasty, the construction of Jiangdu City was more magnificent than before.

Naturally, businessmen from neighboring countries flocked to the city.

The coming of all nations is not unique to the previous dynasties.

Among them, one of the more powerful merchants was Silla merchants from the peninsula, and the other was merchants from Dongying across the sea.

The relationship between Silla and the Liang Dynasty can only be deeper than that of the previous dynasty, not shallower.

What's more, it is a powerful dynasty, and as the new lord of the Silla people, it is naturally that qualified.

Dongying Island has always been friendly with the former dynasty, and sent a large number of envoys to take away many cultural treasures of the former dynasty.

Of course, I also want to get more wealth in a peaceful and prosperous world.

In comparison, the Silla people had more wealth, were good at exploiting camps, were vassals on the wall, and had a closer relationship with the Liang Dynasty than the Dongying people.

The strength of the Dongying people is very outstanding, basically led by a few merchant groups, and with private soldiers "samurai", often on the high seas, to carry out military coercion, forcing the other party to take down the goods at a very low price, and then obtain huge profits.

These two forces are interested in the situation of Dragon City and win the right to operate the Grand Canal, which is a major positive thing for each family's business.

But it is not a simple matter for foreigners to win the game of Dragon City.

Although King Liang did not stipulate that foreigners were not allowed to participate, the objects of the list were the major sects in the Central Plains.

Gentiles are not qualified to be unveiled.

But it didn't say that foreigners couldn't support a martial arts sect to indirectly obtain the right to operate the Grand Canal.

In the past ten days, strangers have also secretly peeked at the dynamics of all parties in the Dragon City Bureau.

The withdrawal of the Jinghai Gang actually gave the foreigners a chance to enter the game.

On this day, Kim Sung-guk, the president of the Silla Chamber of Commerce "Daesung-gold", and the Dongying merchant group "Wasan-kwang" and Shan Gwang-hui, respectively, received a superstitious letter, the content of which was very simple, inviting them to meet in a small village in the northern part of Gangduseong.

The reason is also very simple and clear, telling them that if they come, they will get important clues on how to seize the situation of Dragon City.

Of course, the two of them have no intention of refusing, and whoever such a good thing falls on, they can't help but wonder what kind of character there is such a Haikou.

When the two of them met, they even showed considerable disdain for each other.

In the waters outside the Liang Kingdom, the chambers of commerce of these two countries naturally have a lot of friction.

Kim Sung-kook is a hereditary aristocrat of Silla, and in Silla's "bone system", he belongs to the level of real bones, so he naturally has disdain for ordinary small traders, after all, "real bones", in the rules of Silla, are eligible to inherit the throne.

Heshan Guanghui is not a simple character, as the leader of a samurai family, he has a full business mind, so he can mix smoothly in the Central Plains, and ordinary down-and-out nobles naturally can't enter his eyes.

What's more, before, because of some business reasons, the two still had a lot of contradictions.

"Lord Heshan, what kind of wind blew you over today, you didn't go to the sea to make some business, ran to this land, are you here to swim?" Jin Chengguo is quite unpolite, sharp-toothed and sharp-tongued, and likes to fight between words, which is one of the characteristics of this person.

Kazuyama Guangmi, but he doesn't talk much, as a samurai, he doesn't like to fight with mouth cannons, preferring to use knives to solve problems.

His saber, a standard Tang sword, is said to have been purchased by his grandfather from a famous craftsman in the Tang Dynasty, and it is quite sharp, and it is said that a single knife can cut a large tree around it.

"Jin Dacai is, don't go to those dignitaries and nobles, and come to this place, are you preparing for an outing?" and Shan's hand was pressed on the knife, and neither of them brought a few attendants, if there was a fight, Jin Chengguo would not be Heshan's opponent.

The place where they went was a very small village, so small that there were only a few families, and one of the slightly larger ancestral halls was the agreed meeting place of the letter.

The two disdained each other, and then walked to the ancestral hall together.

Zhang Haoran and Shangguan Jingyun were already waiting in the ancestral hall.

Shangguan Jingyun, seeing the two coming, hurriedly responded, and arched his hand and said: "Two adults, I am Shangguan Jingyun, and I have been waiting for a long time!"

Jin Chengguo is a middle-aged man with a fat belly, but he is in his early thirties, not much older than Shangguan Jingyun, his eyes are squeezed into a line, he glanced at Shangguan Jingyun a few times, and then said: "You are the young owner of Liuyun Sword Village?"

"Exactly, it was I who invited the two of them to come, and I invited the two of them to come, naturally there is something important to discuss!"

"Something important?" Although Heshan Guanghui is short, a head shorter than Shangguan Jingyun, he looks very strong, and the saber on his waist is also just right, and he can easily pull it out at any time, and there is no obstacle.

"I heard that the Salt Gang has withdrawn, what you said is to join forces with us?"

"It's not to join forces, but to give the two of you a chance!" Zhang Haoran stepped forward and said: "I am a staff member of the Shangguan family, my name is Zhang Haoran, I have a proposal, I hope the two of you will consider it!"

"What proposal?" Jin Chengguo squinted, glanced at Shangguan Jingyun and Zhang Haoran, and then said, "I'm not here to listen to the proposal, I want to do business!"

Dongying people come very directly, he only moves for interests, and he will not do things without benefits.

"Originally, there were three forces in Jiangdu, the Jinghai Gang has collapsed, and our Liuyun Sword Village is suffering from some things and has no power to do it alone, but we have the ability to help the two of them pave the way to the Dragon City!" Zhang Haoran continued: "Of course, this is a business, and it should be a very cost-effective deal for the two of you!"

"What do you mean, do you want us to be a shield?" Jin Chengguo broke Zhang Haoran's meaning in one sentence, and said with some disdain: "How can such a deal be cost-effective, we are not qualified to seize the canal, how can we help you!"

"If, I, Liuyun Sword Village, help the two of you, and obtain that kind of qualification, if you want to say that a qualified small gang, my Liuyun Sword Village can be used as your puppet, and there will be no resistance from the imperial court!" Zhang Haoran smiled and said: "Are you interested in such conditions?"

"You know, with the Grand Canal, the business of the two of them may rise more than a hundred times, and the benefits obtained are probably unimaginable!"
