MTL - I Built a Territory in Ancient Times-Chapter 152 Festival

Going to a restaurant, looking around, someone has spotted him in a corner by the window, "Brother Liu Xian, this way!"

With a smile on his face, Liu Shun walked over a few steps and bowed to everyone: "Little brother is late, everyone, don't take offense."

The person who greeted him earlier smiled and said, "Since you know that you are late, then you will punish yourself three times as a rule."

"Brother Zhao, you know that my younger brother is incapable of drinking, but..." Liu Shun complained.

Zhao Yan laughed loudly, "Don't we know you yet? I'm used to pretending to cry and sell poverty, who would believe what you said. Don't shirk, drink quickly!"

The people around were booing, Liu Shun had no choice but to admit the punishment. After three cups, he sat down and started chatting with everyone.

These people are all businessmen who have just come from Jinling, and everyone knows everything. Hearing the wind this time, no one could sit still and set off for the capital overnight, thinking that the capital was well-informed and could get first-hand news.

They all come from the same place, and naturally they want to huddle together for warmth. Zhao Yan also has some business in the capital. Today, he is the host, and he invites fellow villagers to drink together, and by the way, they discuss the recent Duanwang affairs.

Liu Shun just arrived in the capital, and he came over after receiving Zhao Yan's invitation. Anyway, everyone can communicate with each other if they have news together. By the way, let's see what their plans are.

They are all medium-sized small merchants, and naturally they can't compare to those top merchants. If there is anything they can't support each other, they will only be swallowed by others and there will be no residue left. Therefore, they also have consciousness, and the alliance is strong when several are united.

"You say, is this rumor true? Dayan never did business with other countries in the past, why did the wind suddenly change?" Liu Shun asked after taking a few bites of the food and holding down the wine he had just drank.

They are far apart, almost all hearsay and the like, but the real truth cannot be touched. The rumors this time have spread widely, and if they hadn't done it on purpose, it would have been impossible for them to get the letter. He came as soon as he heard the letter, mainly because businessmen are very sensitive to many news and would rather be the first than half a step behind.

He has just arrived in the capital, and he has not had time to inquire about many things, so he can only ask his doubts here.

Zhao Yan has an advantage in this regard, and he does not hide it. After all, these news can be heard everywhere. Then he said, "It's all up to King Duan. I heard that King Duan was stalking him so that the emperor agreed to set up a caravan for him to go out for business."

"Duan Wang?" He still had an impression of this. When he heard the news, he also laughed at Duan Wang's foolishness to run to the west and send him to his death. "Is that the stupid prince? King Duan who specifically asked the emperor for the fief of Liangzhou in the west?"

"Shh! Be careful! This is the capital, not a small place like Jinling." Zhao Yan reminded.

Liu Shuncai realized that he was reckless, and quickly slapped his mouth lightly, "It's my brother's fault, my brother's fault!"

Everyone didn't care, Zhao Yan smiled and said: "Liu Xian, you don't know, the emperor's favorite young son has brought back goods from the Western Regions twice. The goods in the Western Regions are already sky-high. The spice mirror is comparable to gold, and the dignitaries are not spending a lot of money, and everyone is mad."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was very excited, and someone asked: "Brother Zhao, then we heard the news that in the future businessmen can go directly to the Western Regions through the Xiqi Corridor for business, but is it true?"

This is a question that everyone cares about. Everyone has their ears pricked up, and they have heard what the West Side is like. Not to mention that Dayan and Suixi are enemies, and the wars are raging every year. It is a huge problem to travel westward through Suixi. The bandits in Liangzhou alone are so numerous that they can make all the westbound people retreat.

Now there is news that the bandits in Duanwang's fief have almost been eliminated, and they can still enter and exit the Western Regions without passing through the Suixi Kingdom. In this way, the risk can be greatly reduced. If everyone can trade in the Western Regions, they must be well prepared. Of course, those who take the lead can make a lot of money. Haven't you seen how much Ren Duan Wang earns? Others are holding the money and delivering it to the door, for fear of not accepting it!

Zhao Yan nodded, "As far as I know, the news is quite reliable. This matter has already been discussed in the court. Duan Wang overcame all the opinions and took the responsibility with all his strength, saying that there is no need for the court to pay a penny. It's all on his own. At this moment, the courtiers naturally have nothing to object to, and with the support of the Prime Minister, the emperor has no choice but to decide to agree. Only then did such news come out. "

"So, is it true?" Everyone present looked at each other with joy and surprise. Originally, I was afraid that it would be false news, which would make everyone happy, but now that the news is accurate, it can be regarded as a peace of mind.

There are still people who don't believe it, "It would cost a lot of money to build one city and one land, without spending from the national treasury. How could anyone have such a strong financial and material resources? How could it be possible with Duan Wang?"

"You don't know, I heard that King Duan is going to hold a bidding meeting after His Majesty's longevity. It seems to be for this matter. It is said that the big guy's money is to be invested in, and the tariffs and western customs to enter and exit the Xiqi Corridor in the future. Other profits in the Qi Corridor will be divided proportionally according to how much each person contributes.”

"Tsk! There is such a thing? It's so strange!" This is almost unheard of before, Duan Wang is a fool, is it possible that he also thinks others are stupid? Can you make people willing to pay for money without seeing or touching things and making empty promises?

Zhao Yan took a sip of wine and looked around. Everyone had different expressions on their faces, but he knew exactly what they were thinking.

He lowered his head and said in a low voice as much as possible: "To be honest, when I first heard it, it was similar to what you thought, but now it is not the same. Let me tell you a reliable news, Ma, Wang, Zhou, Zhu Si and everyone have already started to act."

"Hey! Is this true?" Everyone was a little incredulous. Who didn't know that the four major merchants in the capital were the benchmarks for other merchants. If it was true, then he might be able to take a risk. Follow them, and there is a little soup left, which is enough for these small households.

Zhao Yan snorted and looked around before continuing in a low voice and cautiously: "A distant cousin of mine is a shopkeeper of the Ma family business. A few days ago, the head of the Ma family sent a message to each store to check the silver taels. It seems that Just getting ready for it.”

It's impossible for Zhao Yan to lie about this matter. Liu Shun touched his chin, and after thinking for a while, he said, "In brother Zhao's opinion, wouldn't it be wrong for us to catch up?"

Zhao Yan nodded, "That's what I think. You all know the strength of the four great masters in the capital. Since they can all prepare secretly, it means that it is really attractive that Shi Shuo sends Taekwondo Falcon to blow milk. It would be great to be able to catch up with the trip. Although we are not as rich as the four major families, we have joined forces to become a whole. I think Duan Wang will not underestimate us. Anyway, everyone has money to make money together. Happy but not?"

When they are united, they will not be much weaker than any of the four major families. Besides, it's not that they haven't teamed up before, when Zhao Yan brought it up, everyone nodded in unison.

"I agree!" Liu Shun was the first to express his stance. It is a well-known fact that the combination is beneficial. It's not a fool. If you fight alone, and you still get so much money, maybe Duan Wang will not look down on him.

Others also agreed that they should also be prepared to see what the tender meeting is about.

Not only them, merchants in other places are also starting to inquire about the news, and they are waiting for Duan Wang's meeting.

In the summer heat, he squinted his eyes and basked in the sun. Not far away is Xie Yixiu, who is sitting quietly reading a book, but I don't know if he has read it or not. The pages of the book in his hand have not been turned for a long time.

This is the temporary post house where Xie Yixiu lived in Beijing. It is an independent small courtyard. Although it is a bit remote, it is better than quiet and elegant.

Shuyu Enzyme∩ has a half-day free time, and came here to hide in peace. In the past few days, many people have been looking for the prince for the goods of the Western Regions, and the prince is not an idler, so it is inevitable that there is something wrong. Those royal relatives who couldn't see the prince, they went to the door to find Shu Su.

We all know that these things were brought back to the capital by Shuyao, although he had already said that he would leave everything to the prince, but these things are not all his, just a word from him. Moreover, in their eyes, Shujianjima's caravan said no, and was intercepted by the third prince. Such a person is so foolish, maybe he can get more benefits from him.

With such thoughts in mind, I came to Shujie Nao Chew Cong Banana and Shu Shushu Chao Chao Huang Chang simply escaped.

Of course, he came here to know what was going on in Beijing by the way. After all, it is not very convenient for him to be in the palace. When the rumors were released before, he asked Xie Yixiu to help pay attention to this.

"It's better for you to be quiet and comfortable here." Shu Yuzin said: "It seems that I should buy a small house, and I can't always live in the palace every time I go back to Beijing in the future. The imperial brothers have built their residence outside the palace. It would be very boring for me to be alone in the palace."

Yes, if you can have a home of your own and have that person in your family, you will be complete. But now I can only think about it.

"General Xie, what do you think? You don't have a place to live. It's not bad for the two of us to live together.
