How can Mr. Liu come up with a solution in such a difficult situation?
Now I am really a stranger in a foreign land. I need troops but no soldiers, and I need money but no money.
Especially Xiang Chenglin, he felt that Mr. Liu was always thinking all the time. Could it be that he was a young man from a rich family who had never seen the world, with his eyes above his head and unaware of the dangers in the world.
Liu Zheng chuckled and asked: "Sir, shopkeeper, what is the current situation of the third prince? Can you give us any details?"
Xiang Chenglin smiled bitterly. He didn't know how to provoke Mr. Liu. Whether it was a blessing or a curse, he told the truth. The third prince, Halik, had always been a hostage in the Longyang Dynasty. Originally, according to the order of eldest son of the Loulan Kingdom,
It was never his turn to come back and inherit the throne.
However, as soon as the old king died, the prince and the second prince were assassinated one after another.
It was the turn of the third prince, but at this time, people in Loulan were already in panic. The seventh prince, supported by the temple army, was powerful, and the support of religious beliefs allowed the seventh prince, who was originally a concubine, to gain most of the people's support. Let's look at it again
Although the third prince had a hard time returning home, he was still struggling. The Loulan court was panicking, and the pro-Han team was facing disintegration under the intimidation of the temple. The royal guard army was smaller than the temple army, which was the most terrible thing.
Han Chinese traders are even more frightened, fearing that they will harm the fish in the pond.
So, no matter how you look at it, the third prince is bound to lose!
Xiang Chenglin also advised: "Master Liu, this matter cannot be done!"
Liu Zheng laughed and said: "What can't you do? Xiang the shopkeeper, don't forget! How did Loulan establish the country!"
Xiang Chenglin had a dull look on his face, not knowing why.
Liu Zheng said calmly: "Business!"
His eyes burst into light: "Everyone thinks that Loulan's religion is currently bigger than the imperial court, but that's not the case! If Loulan didn't occupy the Western Region Passage, where would it be today? With Long Yan in the east, Western Region in the west, and Xiyang in the west, Loulan is actually a central place.
land!"
Shopkeeper Xiang's eyes lit up when he heard this.
In Loulan, where the temple army is rampant, everyone thought that the foundation of Loulan's country would slowly develop from the royal family to the divine religion. Who would have thought that Liu Zheng's vision would be so vicious. Thinking about it carefully, this statement is not true at all.
Fake. The reason why Loulan is so strong is because of Loulan’s tolerance!
Trade!
This is the most important link on the Silk Road. It is the merchants coming and going that have created the prosperity of Loulan today. Otherwise, just one temple is not enough.
Without these merchants and goods coming and going, the people of Loulan would probably not be able to fill their stomachs, so what about the temple?
Liu Zheng thought this and smiled faintly: "So, businessmen from all walks of life will be the turning point in this competition! Not just Longyan businessmen, there are Loulan businessmen, Western businessmen, and Nanyang businessmen!"
The three people's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they looked at each other in confusion.
Such a different approach actually sounds somewhat reasonable.
Liu Zheng's eyes burned: "We can go in two steps! From today on, I am the nephew of shopkeeper Xiang. I am from Hanzhong, and my name is Xiang Zheng! Miss Zheng is my wife, and I manage Rongxiang Company."
Zheng Yueru blushed with embarrassment and nodded slightly.
"From today onwards, I am a student who comes to Loulan to study! Miss Zheng is responsible for the operation of the business. One article and one business, both hands must be grasped, and both hands must be strong!"
The three of them were amazed when they heard this.
In terms of literature, it can influence social ideology, reunite the pro-Han team, and stabilize the military morale of the third prince. In terms of business, it can gather businessmen from all walks of life to increase social influence and weaken the temple's ability to seduce the people.
If both parties work together, the Third Prince will be saved!
