It is not close to the Imperial Capital. There are two ways to get to Suzhou from the Imperial Capital, one is the spacious official road, and the other is by water. The waterway is faster and you can reach Suzhou Pier in five days. And if you take the
Although the official road is more stable and there are inns along the way with relaxed conditions, the time will be correspondingly extended to seven or eight days.
However, Jiang Yuyan was very fast. Because Zuo Zhou said "as soon as possible", she gave up the waterway and did not ride any thousand-mile horse. Instead, she relied on the wind god's legs to race all the way.
The unique deconstruction ability of the Heaven-Destroying Jedi Soul-Searching Hand, combined with the Fengshen Legs' ability to adapt to the natural power of the wind system, allowed Jiang Yuyan's speed to far exceed that of any thousand-mile horse.
It only took three days for Jiang Yuyan to feel Su City. Calculating the time, the imperial examination should not have started yet.
After arriving in Sioux City, she did not contact the local God of Wealth Chamber of Commerce immediately because she was blocked.
"The general has always said that you are very smart. I was quite disdainful before. I didn't expect you to be able to block me."
Jiang Yuyan looked at Jiang Xiaoyu and said slowly. There seemed to be an inexplicable light flashing in her eyes, and she didn't know if she had murderous intentions.
Jiang Xiaoyu waved his hand casually, "Don't be nervous, you know, I am also Li Yuanfang's person, how could I come here with malicious intentions?"
"You have no ill intentions? As the second master of Yihua Palace, you actually say that you have no ill intentions. Who can believe it!" Jiang Yuyan covered her mouth and chuckled. No one in the entire Jiangnan Dao Wulin knew that Yihua Palace and the Jiang family were feuding.
Of course, this has nothing to do with the secret of Jiang Biehe's life experience, but everyone knows that Jiang Biehe led his men to kill Yao Yue, the former grand master of Yihua Palace.
Jiang Xiaoyu shook his head, "Who doesn't know that you are Li Yuanfang's person now? I don't dare to have any ill intentions towards you. Besides, I think you should know more or less. Although I am now the second palace lord of Yihua Palace,
But I have no intention of taking revenge for Yao Yue."
Jiang Yuyan didn't answer. She knew what Jiang Xiaoyu said was true. To put it bluntly, she felt something was wrong when Jiang Biehe led his men to attack Yihua Palace. Jiang Biehe seemed to have a different attitude towards Yao Yue.
He seemed to be relieved of Yao Yue's death, and he was obsessed with eradicating the roots.
Although Jiang Yuyan had no feelings for Jiang Biehe, the man abandoned their mother and son and wanted to sell his daughter for glory again and again, but it was also true that she saw Jiang Biehe very clearly. He was a profit-seeking hypocrite.
He will never be so active in something that is not good for him.
Take the matter of Yihua Palace as an example. Killing Yihua Palace and killing Yao Yue made him famous in the Jiangnan Dao martial arts world. However, there is obviously no benefit in pursuing and killing the remnants of Yihua Palace. They only need to put a reward on it.
But his enthusiasm far exceeded all expectations.
This curiosity made Jiang Yuyan secretly search in the library of Dali Temple for a long time, so she was able to almost restore the story of the original seller of Jiang Qin seeking glory. She could also probably understand the purpose of Jiang Xiaoyu and Hua Wuque.
"I'm just a weak woman, so how can I interfere with the decisions you men make? Besides, it's not Yuyan who makes the decision in the Jiang family."
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoyu's face showed a trace of regret, "That's really a pity. To be honest, I think the Jiang family would be stronger if Miss Yuyan was the one who made the decision."
Jiang Yuyan chuckled and shook her head. She looked dusty but surprisingly dignified. "Your Excellency, you are so complimentary. My sister is about to take part in the imperial examination. Even if she makes the decision, it should be my sister."
Jiang Xiaoyu was a little surprised, "What? You don't even like the position of the head of the family?"
Jiang Yuyan didn't pay attention to Jiang Xiaoyu's doubts. She really no longer looked down on the so-called head of the Jiang family. There was nothing to covet in a martial arts family with a weak foundation. Especially when she had seen so many people.
After becoming a monster and a master on the Earth Ranking, she has a higher spiritual pursuit.
In a flash, Jiang Yuyan had already entered Su City
The God of Wealth Chamber of Commerce is developing very fast, and the fact that Li Yuanfang is behind it is actually not a secret. Therefore, basically no official force dares to cause trouble for them. Coupled with the protection of An Yunshan and Jiang Biehe, the God of Wealth Chamber of Commerce is basically
It has become a behemoth on Jiangnan Road.
This situation will inevitably be feared by Hu Hai, but because of Zuo Zhou's relationship, Hu Hai cannot do anything in a short time. Therefore, when Shangguan Jinhong's money gang started to enter the Daqin market again, Hu Hai ordered the imperial power not to suppress it.
This is the same even if you already know that Shangguan Jinhong is a dragon head.
Zuo Zhou actually knew about this. He had received some business from Murong Fu. Speaking of which, Shangguan Jinhong might not have thought that Zuo Zhou was actually one of the small shareholders of the Money Gang.
Therefore, although Zuo Zhou didn't know what business and plans Shangguan Jinhong had as the decision-maker, he could still infer the extent of the money gang's business from the ever-increasing returns.
When he discovered that the expansion of the Money Gang might have caused some social unrest, Zuo Zhou decisively asked Jiang Yuyan to convey the order.
Let the God of Wealth Chamber of Commerce start a war against the Money Gang by injuring the enemy by 1,000 and damaging itself by 800, and drive them out of the land of Great Qin!
On the one hand, it is really to force Shangguan Jinhong to show his feet, on the other hand, it is also to show Hu Hai. I believe that the loss of both his chamber of commerce and the money gang will make Hu Hai worry less and tell him that we are not a threat and have time to think about it.
It’s business, don’t worry about this and that all the time.
But... if it was just a simple message, there would be no need to send Jiang Yuyan. Jiang Yuyan herself understood this.
…
"Miss Laojiang has sent a message. Please go to the back hall and rest."
An Shigeng seemed polite and well-mannered. After seeing Zuo Zhou's handwriting, he led Jiang Yuyan to the back hall to rest.
After that, he immediately contacted his father. When the two father and son got together, their expressions instantly darkened.
"Disturbing the market and malicious competition will cause us heavy losses! I really don't know what Li Yuanfang is thinking!" An Shigeng complained, glancing at his father.
An Yunshan pondered for a moment, "At present, the conflict between General Li and His Majesty is almost known to everyone. When the Money Gang entered the Daqin market, the government gave them a lot of convenience. At that time, my father had thought about it.
This day will come, but I never thought it would come so soon."
An Shigeng was stunned for a moment. How could someone who could run a large chamber of commerce be a fool? He understood what his father meant almost instantly, "What have you done?"
"I have expressed goodwill to the government in a subtle way, but it seems that the sincerity is not enough, so the government has not expressed anything."
An Shigeng frowned. Expressing goodwill to the government was equivalent to expressing goodwill to Hu Hai. It was nothing more than choosing sides. Although they were able to develop thanks to Li Yuanfang, as a businessman, who would care when there are greater interests?
How about some kindness?
"How do you express your kindness?" An Shigeng asked with some confusion.
"My father took advantage of Li Yuanfang's visit to the Song Dynasty and sent someone to send generous gifts to Zhao Gao, the current favored minister in the court. He also expressed our meaning in a subtle way in the invitation. Zhao Gao should be able to understand it with his intelligence. Maybe it is.
Due to Li Yuanfang’s question, I won’t reply in person!”
An Shigeng paused and said: "Hu Hai knows it's useless. If he doesn't give a response, we will still be labeled as Li Yuanfang. Besides, we can still have the upper hand now, but we can wait for money to help the uncontrolled
After it develops for a period of time, we will really have nothing to do.”
An Yunshan seemed very confident, "We won't wait too long, because Hu Hai is not stupid. He doesn't want a big chamber of commerce with a ready-made scale to support an enemy's chamber of commerce? Even if we really lose both sides with the Money Gang, the rest will be the same."
It's us, and when we are the only ones left, even if our strength is reduced a lot, after forming a monopoly, the development potential of the God of Fortune Chamber of Commerce will be even greater."
"Of course I know this. The problem is that the Money Gang is expanding every moment. Even without Li Yuanfang's order, we will definitely take action after a while, because if we delay it any longer, we may not be able to defeat it."
"But we have to think about the way to do this, so... just wait a little longer. I believe that in a few days, the court will give an indication."
"..."
Jiang Yuyan slowly opened her eyes, slowly stretched out her crossed legs, took a few steps to the table and wrote down a letter, then climbed over the wall overnight and handed it to the Jiang family's spy in Jiangnan Road.
Only a day and a half later, Jiang Biehe and Jiang Yulang had arrived in Su City and met at an inn.
"Yuyan has met her father and her brother. Is her father still in good health?"
"Still healthy." Jiang Biehe looked at Jiang Yuyan with drooped eyelids, and said with a smile: "I heard that you went to Song Dynasty with General Li and learned martial arts. It seems that the general values you very much, but...
For my father, are you still a virgin?"
There was a trace of shame on Jiang Yuyan's face, "My daughter Pu Liuzhi always seems to be in the eyes of the general. Although she is quite proactive on the road, after all, there are still several ladies on her side, so..."
Jiang Yulang curled his lips disdainfully, but Jiang Biehe seemed to have expected it, "Forget it, those ladies are either princesses with bodies of a thousand years old or are disciples of top masters on the earth rankings. Even the only one with an ordinary background is following him.
I have been around you for a long time and have deep feelings, and you, a mere concubine, really can't compare to her."
"I disappoint my father."
"In the future, when your sister comes to visit, you can marry her. General Li will not treat you badly. Now, let's get down to business. Is it true that you mentioned in your letter that the An family has betrayal intentions?" Jiang Biehe waved his hand casually.
Jiang Yuyan's expression became serious and she took out a handwritten letter from her arms, "This is General Li's order to the An family and his son to attack the Money Gang, but they did everything in their power to delay the general's affairs. Her daughter became suspicious and eavesdropped.
They had a conversation between father and son, so they learned about it and asked my father to make the decision!"
Jiang Biehe took the handwritten letter and looked at it, his eyes flashing, "Humph, then An Yunshan said that his son is a business wizard and controlled the Chamber of Commerce to prevent me from getting involved. But I didn't know that he had the backing of the general and our Jiang family said hello in the martial arts world.
Even a fool can run the Chamber of Commerce well, why do they need to be arrogant? But it turns out that they are already rebellious, so I want this God of Wealth Chamber of Commerce!"
