Xianting of the Song Dynasty, in the southernmost part, is adjacent to Nanze Prefecture, one of the ten forbidden areas with quicksand and weak water, and Nanze City, the prefectural city.
Quicksand and weak water, one of the ten most forbidden areas, do not cause much harm as long as you do not take the initiative to enter.
However, due to the characteristics of quicksand and weak water, it is impossible to fish and hunt. Only a few people who have mastered the secret method of obtaining and tempering "weak water" can temper the "weak water" that is very popular among the monks, and they have also become the southerners.
It is one of the specialties and main income items of Zecheng and even Nanze Prefecture.
In addition to the commodity "Weak Water", the occasional outsiders crossing the river and the hunting of exotic animals in the surrounding forests are also one of the main incomes of Nanze City.
Qian Changlong and the other five people arrived at a very slow pace, appearing in front of Wu Xin and others in just a few hours.
However, when they went to Nanze City, Wu Xin and others had to walk for a full day. The main reason was naturally that the Xinwu Demon Guard slowed down their speed, but it also made Qian Changlong secretly shocked, and his evaluation of Wu Xin and others soared.
Before returning, Qian Changlong predicted that it would take three days, or even longer, to reach Nanze City. Unexpectedly, in just one day, he would cross the Jingsha Forest thousands of miles in length, with no accidents and no casualties.
As the moon rises, Nanze City finally emerges from the sky and appears in everyone's sight.
Nanze City is the capital city of Nanze Prefecture. It is a remote prefecture, but the economy is quite developed. The city is twenty to thirty feet high and more than ten feet thick. It has a permanent population of about five million and many powerful forces.
However, Nanze City, and even Nanze Mansion, are mainly controlled by the Qian Chamber of Commerce and Tianying Fort. Behind Tianying Fort is the Sima family, one of the three major merchants in the Song Dynasty. In other words, Nanze City is controlled by two major merchants!
"Lihuang and generals, please don't be so nervous. Are you wondering why Qian and others are so wooing you?"
Seeing that Nanze City was approaching, Wu Xin and others were quite silent, Qian Changlong pointed it out in a very familiar manner.
Wu Xin smiled and remained silent without answering.
Dugu Jialuo responded frankly: "That's true! As the saying goes, those who are not of my race must have different minds! We are outsiders after all. The situation in the Immortal Court of the Song Dynasty is complicated and unstable. Why don't Daoyou Qian and others not just
Are you afraid of being on guard, but instead trying your best to win over them? Aren't you afraid that those who come to us will be unkind?"
Regarding the situation and various issues in the Immortal Court of the Song Dynasty, they mainly come from the jade slips given by Pan Yong, and some from the jade slips from Zhongxiang.
Relatively speaking, the information given by Pan Yong was relatively neutral and fair. The information given by various items was mainly military-oriented and did not explicitly state that the war in the Song Dynasty was unfavorable. However, Dugu Jialuo, Zhou Yu and others had experienced hundreds of battles, how could they not see that?
Is there something fishy about it?
Just from the military deployments of the Great Song Immortal Court and the neighboring Great Yuan Immortal Dynasty provided by various items, we can see a lot of problems!
This is what surprised Wu Xin and others...
Unexpectedly, while the Great Yuan Immortal Dynasty was conquering the Southern Region, it was also invading the Song Dynasty Immortal Court, and it was very likely that it would gain the upper hand.
If the Great Song Dynasty Xianting wanted to use Wu Xin and others to resist or defeat the Yuan army, even Wu Xin, Dugu Jialuo and other own people would not believe it.
Compared with such behemoths as the Great Yuan Immortal Dynasty and the Great Song Immortal Court, what can these more than 12,000 Xinwu Demon Guards do? They cannot affect the overall situation at all, even if they are all in the Dharma Realm, it is unlikely!
"Haha... Marshal Dugu is quite honest. It seems that if Qian doesn't explain, you won't be at ease!"
Qian Changlong laughed boldly and said without hesitation. After a pause, he seemed to have something in mind before continuing:
"First of all, since I, Qian, am one of the three merchants of the Song Dynasty, I am naturally loyal to the Song Dynasty. However, in business, according to the convention, every outsider has a high net worth, not to mention that there are so many of you, and your status is
It’s extraordinary, and this is naturally a huge business opportunity!”
Hearing this, Wu Xin, Zhou Yu and others nodded thoughtfully. This makes sense, and it is also true!
"Second, the qualifications and talents of each outsider are extraordinary. They are basically influential figures in various regions, basically genius level, and at worst, top geniuses. Isn't it worth wooing them?"
Dugu Jialuo, Wu Xin and others looked at each other secretly and did not refute, but they did not agree very much either.
What Qian Changlong said is of course a fact. Those who can cross domains are basically the most capable people among billions. Which one will be easy?! He is indeed the worst and the top genius, and he is the top genius with great luck!
To put it simply, characters who can rise from remote or low-level areas must be extraordinary. Luck, aptitude, and tough temperament are all indispensable. Once they reach high-level areas, as long as they don't die prematurely, they will soar to the sky.
However, the Central Domain is so vast and vast, will there be a shortage of geniuses?
What about fooling children?
"Third, as you all think, our Immortal Court is indeed in a disadvantageous position in the war now, and we are in need of allies or opportunities. Although you are from the Southern Territory, your weakest cultivation is at the Nascent Soul realm, and you are obviously experienced in hundreds of battles.
Even if you can't win over the elite, wouldn't it be nice to form a good relationship?"
Regardless of what Wu Xin and others thought, Qian Changlong calmly explained to himself. It was quite easy to understand, but he did not use Wen Jue's words or lie.
This is also the biggest difference between businessmen and scribes and soldiers, who are more pragmatic.
This is one of the main reasons why Wu Xin chose Qian instead of Pan, whom he liked the most!
"What? You don't believe it?"
After seeing that Wu Xin and others had no reaction after he explained, Qian Changlong asked with a helpless smile.
"Believe it half!" Wu Xin responded calmly, as if he was just explaining a very common thing, but it was more convincing!
"Qian told the truth. Once you understand your own situation and value, you will know how much you believe!"
Qian Changlong also knew that it was impossible to have immediate heart-to-heart trust during the first contact, so he responded indifferently. After a pause, he solemnly continued:
"However, Qian can swear with the heart of the Dao. As long as you are willing to form a good relationship and will not turn against you, Qian will definitely be full of goodwill and have no malice. Even the Immortal Court of the Song Dynasty will only have goodwill towards you and will not suppress you.
Murder..."
Speaking of this, Qian Changlong paused for a moment and then continued with envy: "Perhaps, when the Immortal Court knows your information, it will reward you generously. Even if you don't surrender, the transactions or gifts such as city territory and territory will be very valuable.
possible!"
"ah?!"
Everyone was surprised and suspicious.
For most of the forces, they will hold on to the idea of earning every inch of land, but the Great Song Dynasty Immortal Court will actually give away or trade the city territory?!
The level of the Immortal Court is higher than that of the Great Yuan Immortal Dynasty. Is it so corrupt?!
"Don't doubt it! I believe you will understand it when you understand the history of the Central Territory!"
Qian Changlong reminded with a mysterious smile that was helpless and admiring, and then added:
"Any outsider is extraordinary, let alone a fuel-efficient lamp, and is known as a 'destroyer'. If it is an individual, it will basically stir up the situation; if it is a force, the disturbance will be even greater. Today's five seven emperors, most of them
They are outsiders. This is unavoidable and difficult to suppress. Suppression can easily backfire. In this case, why not form a good relationship and prevent outsiders from causing trouble in their own territory? This is the best of both worlds.
