At night.
The moon and stars are sparse.
"Teacher..." King Jing hesitated and said, "Seriously answer him?"
"It doesn't matter, you and I will just treat it as an ordinary trading company in his name."
The old Taoist Feng Lun clasped his hands behind his back and sighed: "Actually, in terms of fundamentals, apart from him, Zhuang's firm is also ordinary, and what you and I value is Zhuang Ming, not the firm under his name. As long as it does not violate
According to the law, it might be a good idea to give him some conveniences."
King Jing's face changed slightly and he whispered: "After all, I can't see through this person."
The old Taoist Feng Lun said slowly: "His Zhuang's business has expanded, and the business has grown, benefiting all directions. It is beneficial to the people's livelihood in these three provinces. For me, it is not a bad thing, and for Dachu, it is not a bad thing either. Last time
Because of his affairs, Jiangdi is about to be hit by a disaster, and the Eighth Mansion is also implicated. He may not be able to use his business power to overcome this disaster..."
Official orders and seals in various places are closely related to people's livelihood.
Within the territory of Da Chu, there were merchant houses in various places, and trade was prosperous, which was also beneficial to the government.
If the rivers and land are prosperous, their laws will be prosperous.
If the eighth mansion is prosperous, its seal will be prosperous.
The territory of Da Chu prospered, and the dynasty of Da Chu prospered.
"Over the past few years, during the prosperous period of Chu, the country has supported 360 businesses, among which merchants have been trading. This has made various places prosperous and gradually become rich, which makes the Holy One even more satisfied."
"In the final analysis, Zhuang's Trading Company is just a trading firm that relies on me, Da Chu, to earn money and common goods. It is not an immortal sect."
"Besides, all the large-scale trading houses in Dachu have backers. There may not be practitioners behind them. It's just that in comparison, there is a practitioner from Zhuang's Trading Company who has come to the light, and he has been betrayed by you.
I'm afraid, that's all."
"If His Royal Highness Prince Jing is still not at ease, he can find someone to take over Zhou Sheng's position as the head of the Eighth Palace."
The old Taoist Feng Lun said seriously: "You can also monitor the activities of Zhuang's Trading Company to avoid mistakes."
King Jing hesitated for a moment. He intended to do this, but he also felt that it was inappropriate for the Palm Seal Palace Master to do this in front of him.
"There is nothing wrong. After all, I am not a powerful official, and I have no intention of taking power. I only hope to stabilize the three palaces in the next sixty years, and then resign from this official position, so that I can be free and at ease."
After the old Taoist Feng Lun said this, he slowly exhaled and said: "If Your Highness is willing to live in the three mansions for a long time and share the burden for me, I will be very grateful."
——
Zhuang's Trading Company.
"Sir, is it going to be that simple tonight?"
"Everything is difficult at the beginning. Now that we have started a game, how can it be easy?"
Zhuang Ming said with a smile: "Now that I have opened the hole, I will slowly figure it out later. They are afraid of me, but they are not afraid of just private businesses."
After his guidance, although Feng Lun Lao Dao and King Jing could not completely get rid of their wariness, they were able to relax a lot.
But is it really that simple?
A year ago, Fu Lao reported the discovery of the red crystal vein to the government.
This red crystal vein is a material for casting alchemy furnaces, and the five Immortal Sects all have methods of alchemy, especially the Taiyuan Sect, which is even more proficient in alchemy... The disciples all need alchemy furnaces, so this thing,
It is a prohibited thing.
A mineral vein is too large in quantity and the risk is too great.
Besides, he is not good at alchemy, so there is no need to stay.
In the final analysis, all the profits of the huge Zhuang Company are used to feed his dragons, which is more than enough for now.
What he needs is not an ore vein that requires long-term mining and transportation for refining.
What he needs is a red crystal that Fu Lao obtained from the depths of the mine.
The red crystal has been taken by the dragon, which is comparable to Nie Ping's golden elixir with 10% mana power.
"Although we can't take away all the things from Heaven and the Blessed Land, but... is the mortal world really all waste?"
"Don't forget that the 'Dragon Eye Stone' that flowed out from Tianyu Blessed Land and changed hands several times to the Dongsheng Dynasty was obtained from the mortal world."
"The red crystals, strange irons, and all kinds of strange medicines obtained by Fu Lao were also obtained by ordinary merchants."
"Even the jade bead on the hat that Lu He retrieved just now was also obtained from the mortal world."
"As long as my business is strong, spreads all over the world, has strong financial resources, and collects treasures widely, how can there be no treasure?"
"What's more... the so-called prohibited things may not be bought with money."
"The so-called forbidden things are often just the powerful people in the Chu Dynasty who feel that the price in the secular world is too low."
Zhuang Ming said this, he smiled, picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said: "Tonight's conversation has at least laid the foundation for the three palaces. This Palm Seal Palace Lord will acquiesce to us and use legitimate means within the permission of the law.
Expansion... But the so-called legitimate means, as long as I don't use the Dragon Lord to take action or suppress it with the power of the gods, he won't care."
Lu He saluted and said, "I understand."
Zhuang Ming said: "When Mr. Fu comes back, I have to go there with him again. From now on, within the three mansions and the official schools, the refining items, such as the supply quota of the wound medicine, will only belong to
I am Zhuang's Trading Company."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Shuang Ling and said, "You also need to make more preparations."
Shuang Ling looked slightly gloomy and said, "I understand."
Zhuang Ming nodded slightly.
At this moment, he suddenly paused and looked ahead.
Jiaolong sensed that it was Fu Lao and others who had returned.
——
"Young master, the business in the three places of 'Yao', 'Gu' and 'He' has been suppressed. As you expected, Zheng Yuanshan's preparations during his lifetime stabilized the situation and the losses were not big."
Fu Lao said: "As for the three places of 'Fang', 'Jiang', and 'Yong', they have also stabilized the chaos, and liquidated a group of people who had made trouble... As for the head of the Du family who ambushed the old slave, he has been killed by Yue
The imperial court killed all the warriors who participated in the ambush at that time."
After a pause, Mr. Fu continued: "During official business, there was some vague movement, but later, it was all taken back."
Yue Ting smiled and said: "Of course, the masters of their palm seals don't dare to provoke our young master, let alone the chief and deputy chiefs from all over the country? As for the fate of the chief and deputy chiefs of Jiangdi, they are not unreasonable.
Know……"
Zhuang Ming glanced at him lightly.
Yue Ting suddenly stopped talking.
"Don't get carried away."
Zhuang Ming said: "The Palm Seal Palace Master is the Palm Seal Palace Master after all. He must be respected. When doing things, don't make it difficult for him."
Yue Ting hurriedly raised his hand and said: "I didn't make it difficult for him. I erased all the clues that should be erased and forged the ones that should be forged. I didn't dare to be too blatant."
Zhuang Ming nodded slightly, looked at Fu Lao, and said: "I just hosted a banquet for the Palm Seal Palace Master and the Eighth Prince Jing Wang. From today on, all three palaces can expand."
Fu Lao suddenly showed a look of great joy and quickly bowed deeply.
He has been overseas for several years, barely established himself, stabilized three places, and created three more places, which is already extremely amazing.
Now, as soon as the young master came, within a few days, the rivers and the land were leveled. Zheng ordered the old fox who ate people without spitting out bones, suppressed Zheng Yuanshan's rebellion, and liquidated all the enemies. It was more suitable to pave the way for the future of the Three Houses and Twenty-Three Houses.
There are more than 400 cities in total.
The land of the Three Prefectures is very vast. If you really want to calculate it, if these twenty-three places were combined, they would be comparable to the territory of the entire Dongsheng Dynasty!
"Everyone will be busy next."
Zhuang Ming looked at everyone and said: "Although the government will not suppress our expansion momentum, and even the local governments will cooperate and support us, but when we enter various places...it turns out that the families, business houses, and various forces in various places, under their intrigues,
And the interests that maintain the balance will be divided by us. In this way, overt and covert attacks will eventually be inevitable."
Lu He and others all saluted and said, "I will live up to your expectations."
Zhuang Ming nodded seriously, stretched out his hand to caress the dragon in his sleeve, and took a deep breath.
Without the power of the dragon, it would be extremely difficult for him to stabilize such a bad situation in the Great Chu Dongyuan Realm. Even if he exhausted all his energy, it would still take him three years and five years to achieve the situation he is in today.
load.
But with the dragon in hand, he can control everything, suppress the situation, and complete the situation of several years in a few days.
——
The next day.
early morning.
Zhuang Ming had just completed his meritorious deeds when Fu Lao arrived.
But at this moment, Fu Lao didn't look happy, but looked worried.
"What's the matter?"
"A batch of goods was robbed, and more than half of the people escorting it were injured or killed."
Mr. Fu paused for a moment and said: "There are more than 200 places in the Dongyuan Realm. Our Zhuang's Trading Company has laid its foundation in only six places, but the 'Fang' place among them belongs to the very edge of the Dongyuan Realm... and is similar to the Nanyuan Realm.
adjacent."
Zhuang Ming pondered: "You sent someone to Nanyuan Realm?"
Fu Lao said: "Last June, Lao Nu prepared to take root in Nanyuan Realm, but suffered heavy losses."
Zhuang Ming immediately asked: "The Dongyuan Realm only occupies six places, why are you in such a hurry to cross the border?"
Fu Lao said seriously: "The Great Chu Dynasty and the five realms are actually somewhat separated from each other. In the eyes of the old slave, it is more like the five countries standing side by side, but they are all under the control of the Great Chu royal family... In this way, the Nanyuan realm
Etiquette, customs, and various things are also quite different from those in Dongyuan Realm."
Zhuang Ming immediately smiled and said: "There are differences between the two realms, so some things in the Nanyuan realm are quite rare in the Dongyuan realm. On the contrary, the things in the Dongyuan realm are also the same in the Nanyuan realm. You want to use this,
Open up trade routes and earn a business?"
Mr. Fu nodded and said: "Young Master has a sharp eye, but... after all, he is passing through the border, or he is suppressed by someone."
Zhuang Ming said: "So, what happened to the batch of goods yesterday?"
Fu Lao said: "Now that the young master is here, I want to go back again, but I am stopped before I reach the Nanyuan realm. During this period, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, so I can't investigate the case. Moreover, the place is between the two realms.
And neither government will accept this hot potato."
Zhuang Ming nodded slightly and said: "It seems that the person who took action has already calculated it."
Fu Lao said: "It should be the Zhao family in Nanyuan Realm, that is, the family that made the old slave return in defeat last time."
Zhuang Ming put his hand into his arms, supported Jiaolong, and said: "With your unwillingness to admit defeat, if you are defeated in business, you will not give up if you don't fight back. You have endured it for a year, I guess... you are not ordinary."
family?"
Mr. Fu smiled bitterly and said, "I really can't hide anything from you, Master."
He exhaled and said: "Through the 'Fang' prefecture-level master's book, it was vaguely detected that the Zhao family in the fourth palace of Nanyuan Realm has a powerful figure behind it, who is related to the Immortal Sect."
——
at the same time.
The Blessed Land of Heaven and Stars.
Overseas.
There was a sword light, soaring into the sky and going straight to the blessed land of Heaven.
"It turns out that the scholar was not the one who killed that idiot Beiyuan. To be honest, even with his little ability, he couldn't kill Beiyuan."
"I never thought that the one who killed Beiyuan was a dragon?"
"Maybe compared to that idiot in Beiyuan, if he sends a dragon back to the elder, he will be happier."
