A group of people came uninvited. They were dressed in rich and colorful clothes. At first glance, they were no ordinary people. The leader was wearing a velvet crown. The crown had seven hairpins, the clothes were embroidered with five chapters, and he wore a gold-decorated sword. He was a third-rank official.
After putting on his clothes, he glanced at everyone after entering. His eyes fell on Qin Huaidao, and he bowed and said: "I'm here to see the King of Han."
"Is there something wrong?" Qin Huaidao asked back. Unexpectedly, the person who came was Tang Jian, who was the Minister of Household Affairs in the dynasty. Looking at the people behind him, they were all very imposing and unlike ordinary people.
"Back to the King of Han Dynasty, I heard that a business fair was held here. I was in charge of the household department and often dealt with merchants, but I had never heard of a business fair. So I came here to learn a thing or two, uninvited, and asked the King of Han to atone for my sins.
Then pass." Tang Jian's attitude was respectful and his posture was very low.
But Qin Huaidao felt something was wrong. In this era, etiquette was important. It was rude to come uninvited. Being rude would damage one's reputation and was not the behavior of a gentleman. What's more, he had robbed his daughter-in-law. He was considered an enemy. How could he be kind?
If something goes wrong, you will become a monster!
But Qin Huaidao couldn't say it directly if he refused, which would damage his dignity and reputation. He looked at Jia Youcai not far away.
Jia Youcai stood up knowingly and said: "Master Tang, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Your coming here will only make this investment fair shine, but the people behind you will not."
"We are all businessmen, why not?" Tang Jian's face darkened, showing a bit of dissatisfaction. He was the third-rank household minister and a high official in the court. It was true that he was inferior to the king of Han. He was a steward, even though he had a county baron.
level, but not the lowest level, what qualifications do you have to have a conversation?
Jia Youcai has already developed the ability to be all-round and observant. How could he not see Tang Jian's dissatisfaction?
Qinjiazhuang is ashamed to be associated with him."
"You...are impudent!" Tang Jian's face turned cold.
"I think you are being presumptuous!" Qin Huaidao glared angrily, and a murderous intent erupted.
Tang Jian is the grandson of Zuo Pu She Tang Yong of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the son of Tang Jian, the governor of Rongzhou in the Sui Dynasty. He is a true son of a powerful family, with a profound family background and noble birth. Qin Qiong, the father of Qin Huaidao, was just from an ordinary family. Although he became the founding father of the country due to his ability, in the Tang Dynasty
It seems that Jian has a shallow foundation and is just a nouveau riche.
The thousand-year-old family looked down upon the nouveau riche the most. If Qin Huaidao hadn't created a world with his own ability, Tang Jian wouldn't have even looked at him. This was the confidence and pride of his family.
Facing Qin Huaidao's scolding, Tang Jian bowed unhurriedly, not because he was afraid, but because he didn't want to follow the truth, and said loudly: "King of Han, I am in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and I should work for the welfare of the people of the world. Although a merchant is a businessman,
It is underground, but it allows goods to circulate all over the world and makes people's lives convenient. The people who came with me were Shandong aristocrats and Jiangnan nobles. They had great power in the place and were very helpful to the circulation of goods. The Han Dynasty had a high position and was prosperous.
Why should we turn away the responsibility for the well-being of the people in the world?"
He first talked about his responsibilities, then put a high hat on Qin Huaidao, and then kidnapped him morally. Civil servants always killed people invisible and never used a knife. Naturally, Tang Jian knew this well.
Unfortunately, he met Qin Huaidao, who was the most troubled by moral kidnapping. When he heard that the people traveling with him were Shandong nobles and Jiangnan nobles, he was furious and sneered: "The responsibility for the prosperity of the people in the world is your household affairs, and it is also the Holy Emperor's business. This king
But you don’t have this responsibility, or do you have the right to ask me to do this?”
"I don't dare to lower my rank!" Tang Jian was a little confused. Why didn't he play his cards according to the routine?
"Don't you dare? I think you are very courageous. You have rashly intervened in the affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs to seek the welfare of the people of the world. What kind of behavior is that? At a small level, it is called buying people's hearts, and at a large level, it is an attempt to rebel. What,
Mr. Tang, do you think this king will rebel?" When it comes to wearing hats, Qin Huaidao is not afraid of anyone.
If you wear this hat, you will have to shed your skin even if you don't die.
Tang Jian lost his calmness and became flustered. Persuading the King of Han to rebel was no small matter. He couldn't take the blame. He quickly said: "The King of Han misunderstood. I just asked the King of Han to do his duty for the people of the world."
"Whether the people can have enough to eat is your business. If you let me come, what will you do? If you can't do anything, just take off your official hat, take off your official uniform, and go home to take care of yourself." Qin Huaidao scolded again.
Dao, now that we are right, how can we still get used to it?
Tang Jian's expression changed again. If he left in such a dejected manner and his reputation was damaged, how could he survive in the future? He took a deep breath, suppressed his panic, and said solemnly: "The King of Han misunderstood. I am here to ask for advice. Because of my duty, I
I would like to recommend some merchants to the King of Han so that we can work together to benefit the people of the world."
"Are you teaching me how to do things? What qualifications do you have to recommend to me?" Qin Huaidao didn't give him any face.
"Don't dare!" Tang Jian didn't expect Qin Huaidao to be so strong. In the past, wasn't it easy to say that he would not fight or refuse?
At this time, a person behind Tang Jian stepped forward, cupped his hands and said: "Xia Yuanshan, the current head of the Xiao family in Lanling, has met the King of Han. The Xiao family is also a famous family in Lanling and has some influence, ranging from the governor's house to the pulp merchants.
All the pawns can speak their minds. If the King of Han's goods are handed over to me, the Lanling area will definitely be unimpeded."
"I'm in Xuzhou..."
Without waiting for the other party to speak, Qin Huaidao shouted: "Stop it...are you threatening me?"
"I don't dare, I'm just telling the truth." Xiao Yuanshan of the Xiao family responded, with a calm and calm expression, and the threat was very obvious.
The person who had not finished speaking just now also had an angry look on his face: "The King of Han misunderstood. We, the Shandong aristocrats and the Jiangnan gentry, are quite famous in the local area, have deep family backgrounds, wide connections, and smooth trade routes. We sincerely want to do business with the King of Han. If the King of Han
Disdainful, I have nothing to say, but it’s hard to say whether the King of Han’s goods can enter the prefectures and counties where we are located. It’s true that the King of Han has a high position and great power, but who can say clearly about local affairs?”
"That's right, the land controlled by the Shandong aristocratic clan and the Jiangnan gentry is the richest Shuzhou county in the Tang Dynasty,"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell silent!
Qin Huaidao was not angry anymore. Although what the other party said was true, a strong dragon could not defeat a local snake, but Qin Huaidao wanted to give it a try. He looked at Luo Wu who was already furious and eager to try, and asked: "Where is the Guards Group?"
"Here!" the Guards shouted in unison, staring at everyone with cold eyes.
"Just don't die!" Qin Huaidao shouted, with a chill in his face.
"kill!"
With Luo Wu as the leader, everyone in the Guards swarmed up and started fighting.
These people were used to being pampered, and the guards were asked to wait outside. If they could stop the wolf-like guards, more than half of them fell down in an instant.
"Stop, what are you going to do?" Tang Jian was shocked. He never expected that Qin Huaidao would do whatever he said. He didn't care at all about the dignity and reputation of the King of Han. He was just like a bandit. He had no gentlemanly manners of a scholar. He couldn't stand vulgarity. Come up quickly.
block.
Luo Wu had already been eyeing the opponent, and when he saw him making a move, he rushed forward and punched him hard.
Tang Jian had also practiced when he was young, and he had no pressure against a few people, but he couldn't do it against a master like Tang Wu. He was hit by a punch and kept retreating, holding his breath in his heart, which was extremely uncomfortable.
Luo Wu took advantage of the victory to pursue and beat Tang Jian fiercely.
At this time, a large number of guards rushed in, protecting their masters while fighting back.
Wang Xuance was worried that Luo Wu and others would suffer a loss, and he had just joined the Han Palace and wanted to make a contribution, so he rushed to help. Qin Huaidao stopped him and said with a smile: "No need, just watch."
"We have few people...will we suffer a loss?"
Qin Huaidao did not answer, but shouted loudly: "Beat the guards to death!"
The guards can give you a good time, but these representatives of the aristocratic families cannot die easily, they are still useful.
After receiving the order, the Guards immediately let go of their hands and feet, took out their finger tigers, put them on, and punched them one at a time, directly exploding their heads and breaking the bones of their hands and feet. The screams came one after another, making people's scalp numb.
In a short time, dozens of guards fell down, and no one was spared.
The representatives of the aristocratic families were also lying on the ground wailing, seriously injured, even Tang Jian was no exception.
Everyone was shocked when they saw the terrifying fighting power of the Guards. You must know that the guards selected by the noble families have very good martial arts, and their number is several times larger than that of the Guards. They actually have no power to fight back.
What a terrifying combat power!
Everyone looked at Qin Huaidao with awe in their eyes.
Even Wang Xuance was shocked and realized that he still underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Guards.
Qin Huaidao looked at Jia Youcai, and the shopkeeper who came over warned him: "Uncle Jia, Uncle Ma, and Youlao, please move all the people to the second floor so as not to be an eyesore."
"Do you want someone to come over and treat me?"
"No, you can't die."
The two of them agreed and hurriedly sent people from Luluo to come over and clean up.
Soon, everyone was carried upstairs and the ground was washed clean with water.
Qin Huaidao looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone, the annoying flies have been dealt with. Now let's talk about investment matters."
The businessmen, who value profits a lot, put down what they just did and cheered up.
