"Lingshan and Emperor Mou are no longer planning to investigate the case of the missing tribute. Of course I respect the client's wishes; what's more, Mou Guo has secretly colluded with the rebel party, and maybe the Yingya Guards are also..." He Lingchuan said seriously, "It's just that Mei
Concubine just doesn’t know. Besides, I just want to get clues from Concubine Mei. As for whether she lives or dies in the future, what does it have to do with me?"
The soil and water support the people, and the Shining Gold Plains has produced people like Mei Fei. She cannot be an isolated case, and there is no point in killing her and arresting her.
"Don't think that just one or two times of not killing can make her feel grateful." He Lingchuan said leisurely, "She has a character like a fox and a wolf, and she sees the world more thoroughly than you. I'll meet this woman next time.
, you have to be extra careful.”
Dong Rui sighed, feeling a little unmotivated.
Some people and things on the golden plain are like clouds scattered and gathering, one wide and two wide.
What Concubine Mei said also echoed in He Lingchuan's mind:
God's way is unfair, I can only fight for it myself!
At least she did.
In the Golden Plains, and even in this chaotic world, no one even listens to the lamentations of most weak people when they are crushed by the millstone of fate.
This chaotic and hopeless continent has longed for a little justice and a little hope for too long.
He Lingchuan has been wondering, where is the source of their misery?
Is it really because God is unfair?
Dong Rui asked him: "Where are we going now?"
"Enter the palace." He Lingchuan already had a suspicion, "Let's go see You Enguang."
This is the outskirts of Xuncheng, just on the way to Pengwang Palace.
At this time, only a few days had passed since the collapse of the Lifan Kingdom and the new king's accession to the throne. The Peng Kingdom was still in a transitional period and the civil strife had just stopped.
He Lingchuan and the two walked back to the capital, but they didn't find that the public security here had improved, and the places that should be chaotic were still in a mess.
Probably the new royal court has not yet been able to take action to sort out these minutiae.
Arriving at Xuncheng, He Lingchuan went into the palace to pay a visit to the new king.
He had dealt with You Enguang in the Xiaoyao Sect, and he had the token of Mou foreign envoy in hand, so he had the green light all the way and met the new king quickly.
He Lingchuan entered the palace this time to discuss business with You Enguang as the Lord of Goodness.
In fact, it would be better to wait a few months to observe the situation, but he happened to be passing by, so he just took care of things.
Although the foundation of the old Wei Kingdom was poor, Julu Port had a unique location and was the best port in the entire central and western part of the Gold Flash Plains. Countries in the west would most likely land here if they wanted to do business with the Gold Flash Plains.
Yangshan Islands is no exception.
He Lingchuan's identity is subtle. He is both the envoy and the lord of the Yangshan Islands. With the two layers of BUFF superimposed, he has become You Enguang's most welcome guest.
After friendly negotiations between the two parties, the tariffs paid by Yangshan's caravan at Julu Port were halved, and they also enjoyed conveniences in customs clearance, warehousing, and cargo flow. Yangshan's merchants could also enjoy preferential commercial taxes throughout the Peng Kingdom.
You Enguang has just taken over the mess of King Fan. It is not an exaggeration to describe King Fan as "a waste of resources waiting to be revitalized". All he can think about is how to make money, and He Lingchuan comes to discuss cooperation. Isn't that just what he wants and they hit it off right away?
There is another one:
People who admire good deeds can set up escorts and escort agencies in Peng State, accept private employment, and help caravans do business.
In other words, the Yangshan Islands can legally establish an armed force in Pengguo. You Enguang was originally reluctant to this point, but firstly, he was attracted by the other conditions proposed by He Lingchuan, and secondly, he was attracted by the Pengguo trade route.
He himself knew the situation well, that is, bandits were everywhere, and it was very difficult for Peng Guo's own army to eliminate them.
You can't protect others from doing business, so they build their own armed forces to escort their own caravans. This makes sense.
Who made the newly born Pengguo Elementary School weak?
At this delicate moment, this disadvantage in terms of status and national power was He Lingchuan's opportunity and bargaining chip to strive for the most favorable negotiating terms, and he seized it.
In the end, both parties took a step back on the number, size and location of the escort team, and finally reached an agreement.
Everyone is happy.
He Lingchuan smiled happily.
As long as a hole is opened in the policy to allow "legal access" for the forces that support good deeds, they will be able to break through any subsequent restrictions on the size of the population and location.
How can the human heart resist the temptation of money?
The ant nest that collapsed the embankment was not dug in a day, right?
The mirror let out a cry: "Shining Gold Plains is a hard bone that no one else can chew. How good are your teeth?"
"The stewed bone soup is also very fragrant." He Lingchuan never found it difficult to chew the meat.
He is very self-aware. Bejia, how long has Mou Kingdom been infiltrating in the Golden Flash Plains? How can it be his turn to eat the delicious meat?
The Yangshan Islands need the products of the Golden Plains, especially ores, but the safety of the trade routes has always been a long-standing problem that no one can solve. It would be best if the armed forces of the Yangshan Islands take care of it personally.
Not to mention, the mineral veins on the Gold Flash Plains are all occupied by mining tyrants or local forces. If you negotiate the terms with someone today, they may turn around and refuse to accept it tomorrow, or another group of people will come to power in a few days.
Disregard the old accounts of our predecessors.
How can doing business be easy? He Lingchuan has already seen all kinds of dirty things.
Especially in the Golden Plains, it's very difficult to do business in a disciplined manner. But if your fists are strong enough, others will start to treat you kindly.
What does that saying mean? Difficulties are like springs, they soften when you harden them.
Only by entering with force can a low-price and stable supply of ore be guaranteed. He Lingchuan must try his best to hold this supply line in his own hands.
More importantly, You Enguang allowed him to introduce force into Peng Kingdom, which meant that the Yangshan Islands reached out to the Shining Gold Plains openly!
From then on, the Yangshan Islands were able to use this place as their base, and use the Yangshan caravans to move around, gradually spreading their power into the Golden Gold Plains.
He Lingchuan still missed the Golden Plains, just like Bailie.
On the surface, he came to do a mission for Mou Guo; in fact, the agreement reached between Yangshan and Peng Guo was his biggest gain from the Ming Dengzhan mission!
To put it bluntly, he came to the Shining Gold Plains just to step on the plate and put in the work ahead.
The soul-capturing mirror basically understood his thoughts, and said, "I hope this Peng country can be stabilized, otherwise all your charming looks will be seen by a blind man."
"Who says it isn't?" If Peng State collapses again, the agreement between it and He Lingchuan will probably be invalidated.
If you want to do business in a place where the current situation is unstable, this is the political risk that Yangshan Islands must bear.
"I hope Peng Guo can survive a little longer." This kind of thing was beyond his control.

The first golden leaves fell from the parasol trees on the Chipa Plateau, and He Lingchuan also returned to Panlong City.
It was not difficult to go to the ocean to fetch a lamp, but the journey was very long and it took six months to go back and forth.
