"Of course I have. Although I occasionally saw people from other countries in the past, it was not like now that you can see them just walking around on the street."
"How come there are so many foreigners suddenly in Chang'an City?"
"You don't know?"
"What? You know? Tell me quickly what's going on!"
The man took a sip of wine slowly and leisurely and said, "That's because the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations is about to be held."
"The Chamber of Commerce of All Nations?"
Someone was startled.
The man said: "The Chamber of Commerce of All Nations is a business activity jointly carried out by all the countries under our Alliance of All Nations."
"To put it simply, businessmen from various countries gather together, take out good products from their own countries, then discuss with each other and send them to other countries for sale."
"Part of the money from the sale goes to various countries as taxes, and part of it goes to the businessmen."
"So, this is a win-win situation for all three parties."
"Those countries can receive tax revenue."
"Buyers can buy good things from other countries at home."
"Businesses can naturally open up more sales and earn more money."
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up.
"What a good thing!"
"No wonder there are so many foreigners suddenly. That's it!"
"Then, will we be able to see good things from other countries soon?"
The man nodded and said, "That's natural. I heard that representatives from various countries got a lot of good things."
He sighed: "This is all thanks to Master Shen. If Master Shen had not single-handedly promoted the alliance of the All Nations Alliance and made Datang the leader of the alliance, Datang would not have had such an opportunity to hold such a chamber of commerce.
!”
"Naturally, we will never have such an opportunity to buy good things from other countries while sitting at home."
When the people heard this, they all nodded.
"Master Shen has indeed made a lot of contributions to the Tang Dynasty!"
"The young master is not only the great master of Qingtian, but also a hero of the Tang Dynasty!"
At the window.
Sishe picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Young Master, here's a drink to our hero and Master Qingtian."
Shen Lian smiled and said: "The people are talking nonsense, and you are talking nonsense too."
Si She said: "Why are you talking nonsense? The young master has solved countless cases, cleared the grievances of many people, and brought many evil people to justice. Therefore, the young master is the master of Qingtian, and the world can learn from it!"
"The young master first fought against the Beidou Society and then against the Tiandi Pavilion. He even shattered the Tiandi Pavilion's previous conspiracy to threaten Datang in the form of an alliance, and in one fell swoop made Datang the leader of the Alliance of All Nations."
"It can be said that if it were not for Mr. Shen, the Tang Dynasty might be in danger of war now, so the young master is a great hero. This is correct!"
Listening to Si She's words, Shen Lian felt a little dazed...
Unexpectedly, without realizing it, he had already done so many things!
He let out a breath and said, "Heroes don't ask about their past, and heroes don't mention their past bravery."
"The medals of the past can only represent the past and nothing else."
"So, the people can just talk about it, I can't really take it to heart."
"Otherwise, once you become complacent, it means you will stand still and never be able to move forward."
Si She admired and said: "This is what I admire most about the young master. No matter what achievements he makes, the young master can always treat them calmly."
"If other people had such achievements as the young master, they might have started to complain long ago."
Shen Lian smiled and shook his head.
He looked out at the street.
I saw some dark-skinned people passing by with several carriages.
He said: "The Chamber of Commerce of All Nations is finally about to begin."
Si She said: "Businessmen can't wait any longer. Recently, the most talked about among the business bosses is the matter of the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations."
"They are all looking forward to this event."
Shen Lian nodded slightly: "The first business exchange between hundreds of countries is indeed an unprecedented event, and it will definitely go down in history in the future."
Sishe nodded: "Many people say so."
Shen Lian picked up the wine glass, pondered for a moment, and said: "However, it is an opportunity, but it is also a danger."
"Sishe, Shadow Guard will be very busy these days."
Sishe looked at Shen Lian.
Just listen to Shen Lian say: "These foreign businessmen, please pay attention."
Si She heard what Shen Lian said.
He was shocked and asked quickly: "Did the young master discover anything?"
Shen Lian shook his head.
"I'm just worried about what might happen in the future," he said.
He looked at Si She: "Wanbang Chamber of Commerce, this event is too grand."
“It’s about the future trade routes of hundreds of countries.”
“Great impact!”
"If something goes wrong with this matter, it will easily cause turmoil in the entire alliance of countries."
Shen Lian looked at the foreign businessmen with different skin colors and looks on the street.
Calmly said: "You should know that by establishing the alliance of various countries, we shattered the conspiracy of the Beidou Society and also shattered the conspiracy of many powerful countries."
"Whether it is the Beidou Society or some other countries, they all hate the alliance of nations, or in other words, are very afraid of it."
"They were worried that after the alliance of various countries solved Nanzhao, they would target them."
"So, you don't need to think too much to know that they must be thinking every day now about how to destroy the stability of the alliance of various countries and how to disintegrate the alliance of various countries!"
"And right now, this Wanbang Chamber of Commerce is undoubtedly the best opportunity!"
Si She was shocked.
He couldn't help but frown, with a look of surprise on his face: "Young Master, do you think that the Beidou Society, or other countries, will destroy foreign chambers of commerce, thus causing internal conflicts within our alliance?"
Shen Lian nodded.
“This is a great opportunity!”
"They should understand."
"If the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations really reaches an agreement on business exchanges, then the alliance of various countries will become closer and more united because of economic exchanges."
"By then, it will be even more difficult for them to destroy the alliance of nations!"
"So, for them, they have no choice!"
"Or, sit back and watch the alliance of countries become bigger and stronger, and become completely stable!"
"Then, in the future, the alliance of countries will deal with these powerful countries that once bullied them one by one."
"Or, seize this opportunity and destroy the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations!"
"As long as it succeeds, it will at least prevent the alliance of countries from becoming further united and stronger."
"If we do better and cause conflicts among the countries within the alliance, it will directly undermine the unity of the entire alliance."
"By then, the strength of the alliance will be reduced, and they will be safe!"
"so……"
Shen Lian looked at Si She and said, "If you were Beichen of the Beidou Society, if you were the emperor of another country, what would you choose?"
Si She's heart sank.
He doesn't have to think at all.
Said: "No matter what, we must fight!"
Shen Lian nodded and said, "That's right."
"So, there is no need to think about it at all."
"You will know once the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations is held."
"There's bound to be some trouble happening."
"And who is most likely to cause chaos in foreign chambers of commerce?"
Shen Lian said: "There is no doubt that these are the businessmen who participated in the Chamber of Commerce."
"That's why I asked you to pay more attention to these businessmen."
Sishe's eyes flashed, and he said: "Young master, do you suspect that they are being bribed by their picture books?"
"No!"
Shen Lian took a deep breath and said, "I'm worried that they have been replaced by the association from the inside out."
The snake's eyes suddenly widened.
Just listen to Shen Lian say: "We don't know what businessmen from various countries look like."
"The only way we can identify them is the road guides they carry and the documents given by various countries."
"But that kind of thing, apart from proving which country they come from, cannot prove at all... whether those people are them!"
"So, we can't judge at all whether they are really the original businessmen."
Si She understood what Shen Lian meant.
His expression was also somewhat solemn.
He was silent for a moment and said: "I will let the shadow guards keep an eye on them."
"But there are too many of them."
"The number of shadow guards is limited..."
Shen Lian said: "I know."
"So you don't have to keep an eye on everything."
"You only need to keep an eye on the place where they live together, and then keep an eye on it defensively."
"If someone does have a problem, they're going to behave differently than other people."
"As long as they have problems in their hearts, you will find out sooner or later."
Sishe nodded heavily.
He said: "I understand."
"I'll go arrange the manpower right now."
"We will never let the Beidou Society and other countries destroy the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations this time!"
After Shen Lian and Sishe had dinner.
The snake then left first.
There are only a few days left until the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations is held, and caravans from many countries have also arrived.
Sishe's current task is very stressful and time is tight.
So he didn't hesitate at all and quickly started taking action.
Shen Lian left the restaurant and was not in a hurry to return to the Yamen of Dali Temple.
It was lunch break now, and it was rare for him to have some leisure time.
Walking on the busy streets, watching the people coming and going, listening to the bargaining between the people and the vendors
Shen Lian only felt that this kind of life was exactly the life he liked.
simple.
There aren't that many conspiracies and calculations.
Everyone wants to make their life better.
Go for it.
"Master Shen."
And this time.
Shen Lian suddenly heard someone calling him.
He turned around and looked.
Then he saw Warrior Yan, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, waving his hand towards him.
Shen Lian's eyes flashed and he stopped where he was, waiting for the warrior to catch up with him.
He smiled and said: "Mr. Wu, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you just walking on the street."
But the warrior Yan shook his head and said: "This is no coincidence."
"I am on my way to find Mr. Shen."
"Find me?"
Shen Lian was a little confused.
Warrior Yan nodded: "Yes, I was actually going to go to the Yamen of Dali Temple to find you just now, but I didn't expect to meet you here."
"This saves me the trouble of running to Dali Temple."
Shen Lian looked at the warrior Yan in confusion and said, "What do you want Master Wu to do with me?"
"Did Mr. Wu encounter some case?"
Warrior Yan waved his hand quickly: "No, I have not encountered a case. Master Shen can't say this nonsense."
Shen Lian smiled and said, "Master Wu, why should you care."
"I was just joking."
"Of course I know Mr. Wu is upright and honest, how could he encounter a case?"
Samurai Yan said with a bitter smile: "Although I know that I have no case, when I heard Mr. Shen say that I had a case, I still broke out in a cold sweat."
"It's true that Lord Shen's reputation is too intimidating."
Shen Lian smiled and said: "I am just an ordinary Dali Temple minister, how can I be so scary?"
"If you didn't commit any crime, you might never have anything to do with me in this life, right?"
The warrior nodded: "That's right, that's right."
Shen Lian became even more confused when he saw that Samurai Yan was not looking for him because of the case.
He said: "Master Wu, what do you mean when you come to me?"
Warrior Yan looked at Shen Lian and said, "I have something I want to ask Mr. Shen for help."
"May I help?"
Shen Lian wondered: "I am the Minister of Dali Temple, and Mr. Wu is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Our two departments cannot work together. What does Mr. Wu need help from me at Dali Temple?"
Warrior Yan said: "It's not Dali Temple, it's you, Lord Shen."
"I would like to ask you a favor."
"I?"
Shen Lian smiled and said, "I wonder how I can help Mr. Wu?"
"Master Wu, it's okay. If I can help, I will definitely help."
Warrior Yan looked at Shen Lian and said: "Master Shen, you can definitely help with this, and in the entire Tang Dynasty, I think you are the only one who can help."
Shen Lian smiled and said, "Master Wu, why don't you tell me."
Samurai Yu also no longer has ink marks.
He said directly: "Master Shen, do you know about the upcoming Chamber of Commerce of All Nations?"
Shen Lian's eyes flashed.
Is it actually related to the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations?
He nodded and said, "Of course I know."
"After all, this is the most lively event in Chang'an City recently."
"How many people are paying attention?"
Warrior Yan nodded and said: "The Chamber of Commerce of All Nations is actually organized by our Ministry of Household Affairs."
"What we want to do is to develop Datang's economy."
"Through the alliance of various countries, we, the Tang Dynasty, will become richer."
Shen Lian nodded: "This is a good idea."
"I think this chamber of commerce is well organized."
“It’s great that all three parties can benefit from it.”
Warrior Yan said: "What Hube wants to do is to use the alliance of various countries to enhance the economic strength of the Tang Dynasty as quickly as possible. At the same time, it also allows the members of the alliance to move around and promote mutual relations."
"Originally, all of this was carried out in an orderly manner."
"But who knew...just before the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations was about to be held, an accident happened."
"What accident?"
Shen Lian asked curiously.
It stands to reason that the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations is now preparing in full swing.
The world is paying attention.
Attracted worldwide attention.
People asked and praised him.
Great reviews!
It should be very smooth.
How could there be an accident?
The warrior's expression was solemn, and he looked around.
I saw people coming and going nearby, and not far away there were people and vendors bargaining, which was very noisy.
