Drinking is the best way to enhance a man's friendship.
After a few drinks, Le Juntian looked at Feng Danyuan differently.
Brother Feng is not only good-looking, but he is also quite kind. He is also knowledgeable and personable. His movements are noble and elegant, which makes people feel like they are taking a breath of spring breeze.
Le Juntian felt that he had misunderstood him a few days ago, maybe because he didn't understand him well.
"The other day, I accidentally heard the shopkeeper of the clothing store mention that Le Dong's family is in the military supplies business?" Feng Danyuan pretended to mention it casually.
"Oh, that was what my father talked about! It's a long story..."
As soon as he heard the words "It's a long story," Feng Danyuan's temple began to feel a dull pain. Before, he would have blocked the other person's mouth with a sentence: "Then let's make a long story short, or there is no need to say it!"
"
But today is different from the past. He is a master who needs a secret guard. Without money, he cannot be arrogant or pushy. The hardships of life have smoothed his edges.
The corners of Feng Danyuan's mouth curved beautifully, and he listened to Le Juntian's "It's a long story" with a smile.
"Our Yun Kingdom's army is under the control of King Chen. As for King Chen, he built his own munitions depot, built his own site, and found his own craftsmen. The imperial merchants basically have no involvement in the munitions business."
"But since the battle in Northern Xinjiang a few years ago, King Chen has been semi-retired. Brother Feng may have heard of some of the reasons..." Le Juntian approached Feng Danyuan and lowered his voice and said, "It's just between the monarch and his ministers.
It’s not easy for us ordinary people to say much about that. All in all, although King Chen still holds the title of commander-in-chief of the Yun Kingdom’s 800,000-strong army, he has disappeared.”
Feng Danyuan said silently: "..." It's hard to say more, you don't have to say anything.
The Le Dong family, who said it was "hard to say much", was completely confused: "Hey, when it comes to this, I am quite emotional. Over the years, King Chen has fought in the south and north, and pacified the four regions, so that the people of the Yun Kingdom can live and work in peace and contentment. To be honest,
In other words, a person like him who has accomplished such great feats will be able to shine in the annals of history, even build temples and statues, and be worshiped and respected by all people..."
Feng Danyuan could no longer hold the smile on his face: I don’t want to shine in the annals of history, nor do I want to be worshiped by all the people. Please get back to the topic immediately!
Seeing Le Dong's family getting further and further away, Feng Danyuan finally couldn't help but interrupt: "I have heard about the munitions depot. But the military uniforms are not made by the munitions depot. Instead, they are bid by merchants every year.
Military procurement. However, those who undertake the military uniform business have always been merchants from Jiangnan or the Central Plains. I have never heard of merchants from the northwest successfully bidding."
Le Juntian's wandering thoughts were successfully brought back: "It turns out that Brother Feng also knows this! Hey, these were the rules of King Chen's time. He has disappeared, and there is no famous general in the court to control the situation. This
The army is a bit disorganized, and bidding for military uniforms is just a formality, but in fact it has been decided long ago."
"Not only the military uniform business, but the rest of the business is not much better either. The military supply depot has almost ceased to exist in name only! According to my father, especially in our northwest frontier, merchants are now struggling to get into the military supply business."
"Our Le family is purely a wealthy family with no official connections. We only get the business of summer clothes. Alas, the prices are very low and we can't make much money. But if we do business with the imperial court, our status will be different."
It’s the same. My dad and I walked out, feeling stronger and more confident to discuss other business matters.”
