Chapter 414

Xianyang City, Xiangguo Mansion.

Xiangguo's Mansion is not very far from Luoyan's Taifu's Mansion, there are only two streets between the two, so there is a little big movement in Taifu's Mansion, and Lu Buwei naturally knows it.

At this moment, Lu Buwei, who was wearing a black cloak, was standing at the window, staring at the fire light that was slowly dissipating in the midair of Taifu's mansion with his twinkling eyes, his brows were slightly furrowed, a little puzzled as to what Luo Yan was doing.

Play something like this on a snowy day?

What exactly is this Luo Yan going to do! ?

Not long ago, the Supervision Department sent someone over to tell Lu Buwei that Taifu Luoyan had taken a large amount of gunpowder from them. Lu Buwei was still a little puzzled about what Luo Yan wanted to do, but he didn't expect Luo Yan to do it simply for the sake of Put these things to play? !
This operation was really annoying to Lu Buwei.

"It's pretty."

Lu Buwei clasped his hands behind his back, no matter what he was thinking in his heart, but on the surface he didn't show the slightest bit, and said lightly with a hint of appreciation in his tone. ,
"Lord Xiangguo, this thing is indeed beautiful, and the Taifu is really ingenious."

Li Si, who was standing behind Lu Buwei, lowered his head respectfully, and replied softly.

"The Tai Tuo's thoughts are sometimes unimaginable and difficult to guess."

Lu Buwei withdrew his gaze, turned to look at Li Si behind him, stroked his beard, made a comment, then paused, and said unintentionally: "His heart is very big."

Hearing this, Li Si's heart trembled slightly, and he remained silent without making any comments.

Lu Buwei could comment on Luo Yan, but Li Si didn't have the qualifications.

Not to mention.

The relationship between Lu Buwei and Luo Yan is a bit warm now, which makes Li Si somewhat confused about Lu Buwei's true thoughts.

Because in Li Si's view, Lu Buwei should regard Luo Yan as an opponent, an existence that could threaten his status.

But Lu Buwei did not take any action, and even facilitated Luo Yan in many ways.

Li Si really couldn't understand this.

I don't understand either.

"The merchants in the state of Qin do have a lot of dignitaries behind them. You don't need to worry about this. The old man will go to say hello in person. They will give me this noodle. As for the future, it depends on whether the chamber of commerce is valuable and whether it can be given to them. Bringing benefits, in this regard, he should have considered it."

Lu Buwei walked back to the table, knelt down slowly, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of the hot tea, said calmly without any change of expression on his wrinkled old face.

"As for the merchants of the six countries."

Lu Buwei paused for a moment, with a dignified expression, and after a while, he said slowly: "There are too many dignitaries involved in this. Whether he can do what he wants depends on how much he can produce. A businessman is after profit. Not just merchants, as long as they are people, it is instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

If he can really deal with the merchants of Qin, it is not impossible to attract merchants from the six countries.

For the time being, do as he wants.

With the old man watching over here, you don't need to be afraid of anything.

This is Qin after all! "

In the last sentence, Lu Buwei's tone was a little solemn, with a kind of absolute confidence and certainty. It seemed that as long as he was there, no one in the whole Qin country could make waves.

"Yes, Li Si understands."

Li Si replied respectfully.

"Han Fei is your senior brother?"

Lu Buwei nodded, was silent for a while, and suddenly asked a question.

"Xiangguo is asking about Han Fei, the Ninth Prince of Korea? If he is this person, both he and Li Si have studied under the Confucian Xunzi."

When Li Si heard this, his eyes flickered slightly, but he answered without any hesitation.

"How do you see him?"

Lu Buwei asked lightly.

Li Si didn't understand why Lu Buwei asked such a question, he hesitated for a while, and then said slowly: "Senior brother's talent is far better than Li Si's."

"Really? The old man thinks that this person is inferior to you."

Lu Buwei heard the words, and said indifferently: "I don't know how to judge the situation, and dare to reach out for everything. How can he, the ninth son of South Korea, intervene in the dispute between Qin and Zhao!"

"..."

Li Si heard this, but his heart tightened. He understood that his senior brother had started to attack.

It is even possible to intervene in the conflict between Qin and Zhao this time.

"Your Majesty thinks highly of Han Fei, and Han Fei is also Taifu's best friend."

Li Si pondered for a moment, then said slowly: "Li Si knows Han Fei quite well, and he knows very well that he is not a fool, let alone meddling in something rashly. If he meddled in something, he must have a lot of confidence .”

"Sure? Then the old man will see what he can do."

Lu Buwei heard the words, glanced at Li Si, and said lightly.

If Han Fei wanted to intervene, he could only go through Korea and Wei, or add Chu.

Xiangguo of Qi State has already been bought by Lu Buwei, and stands on the side of Qin State. As for Yan State, does Yan State have any choice now?
The old King Wei of the State of Wei was seriously ill, and the country was in turmoil, so it was impossible for him to have the energy to intervene in this battle.

In this way, only Korea and Chu are left...

Li Si was silent, and he was also puzzled about what Han Fei was going to do.

. . . . . . . . .

Luo Yan didn't know that Han Fei was becoming restless again, and if he knew, he probably wouldn't care.

Because Han Fei has always had that kind of character, knowing that he can't do anything, the path he chose is to jump on the edge of life and death. If he succeeds, he will save South Korea's life. If he fails, he will naturally perish along with South Korea. This was Han Fei's own choice.

Friends are not parents, so Luo Yan will naturally not interfere with Han Fei's choice.

At the moment, he is studying the law of yin and yang, acacia, heaven and man, and for some reason, every time he feels that he is a little bit short of meaning to be able to get started, but every time he is just a little bit short.

This thing is like a kick in the door, but it just can't get in, until it doesn't feel at all.

That feeling is very aggrieved.

"Whoo~"

Luo Yan poked his head out of the bed, curled his lips helplessly, a little discouraged.

"Failed again~"

Yan Lingji was lying in Luo Yan's arms like a kitten, looking at Luo Yan's helpless expression, she wanted to laugh, reached out and pinched Luo Yan's face, and joked.

She still knew about Luo Yan's dual-cultivation skills and cooperated with her best.

But Luoyan just can't practice~
"I always feel that something is missing, I don't understand~"

Luo Yan said with a headache.

"There are things you don't understand~"

Yan Lingji said with a smile, her slender fingers slid back and forth on Luo Yan's body.

"Don't bother me while I'm thinking about it!"

With a backhand, Luo Yan took out the dual-cultivation technique that was regarded as a treasure, and started to study it again.

As the night deepens...

. . . . . . . . . .

Three days passed in a flash.

On this day, the sky is blue and white, the sun is shining, and the weather is fine.

The half-melted snow still exudes radiance in the sun, adding a bit of silver-covered taste to Xianyang City, making the scenery of Xianyang City more dreamy and charming.

However, this beautiful scenery is rarely appreciated by people at this moment.

There is a constant stream of passers-by on the street, and vendors set up stalls, hoping to sell more things before the new year and have a good year.

Drunk Xianju.

A group of rich businessmen in brocade robes with big bellies all had different complexions at the moment, and they were making eye contact with each other, but no one dared to speak first, and kept a wait-and-see attitude in everything, while focusing on the young man in the lead .

The man was young, in his early twenties.

Wearing a black tight-fitting long gown, her long black hair tied up in a high bun exudes a touch of elegance, her figure is tall and straight, her face is handsome, and there is a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Not far from him is a beautiful woman kneeling, wearing a long white dress, outlining a plump and attractive figure.

Everyone present knew this woman.

The pretty widow of the Bar family.

For this pretty widow who died of her father-in-law and her husband, who among the people present and even the people behind them has not thought about it, not to mention this woman's appearance and body, just her wealth is enough to make people flock to her.

It's just that this pretty widow, who never smiled in front of outsiders, now sits obediently beside the man in front of her, making tea.

It speaks for itself.

"It seems that the news is correct, no wonder."

"Pity."

"This master is really quick to attack."

……

The few wealthy businessmen exchanged glances, and they dared not continue to stare at the widow. How many of them are idiots who can become wealthy businessmen, they naturally understand what a woman is, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she has to live to enjoy it. Well, the young man in front of him is now Da Qin's imperial tutor, Daliang Zao.

No matter which identity they are, they are not guilty of it.

Even those who support them behind them dare not offend at will.

"Are they all here?"

Luo Yan took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and didn't care about their misunderstood eyes. Anyway, he was not afraid of the shadow, knocked on the table, and asked softly.

With his current status, he still needs to be careful with his airs.

Not to mention facing a group of businessmen.

How can I lower myself.

"It's all here."

After making tea for Luo Yan, the widow stood up and took a few steps back, standing in front of the crowd, and said softly.

In this regard, many businessmen have nothing to say.

It's just that many people glanced at the Emerald Tiger next to Widow Qing, and their eyes were a little bit more joking. After all, during this period of time, Emerald Tiger has dealt with them a lot, and even said in private that he and Luo Yan have a very good relationship. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a brother.

But now...

Emerald Tiger still had a smile on his face, without showing any extra expressions, as if he didn't care about this matter.

"What is a chamber of commerce? You should have figured it out during this period of time. Let me talk about the benefits of joining the chamber of commerce first. The products of the chamber of commerce are linked to the state of Qin. You can only sell them after you enter the chamber of commerce. Needless to say, refined salt , My idea is that within ten years, all Qin people in Qin State will be able to eat refined salt.

In the state of Qin, the price of salt must be the lowest. I will give it to you at cost price, and you must sell it at cost price.

As for other countries, how to sell and how much to sell depends on your own ability.

This is the benefit and obligation of the first batch of joining the chamber of commerce. "

Luo Yan looked at the group of the richest people in Daqin in front of him, his expression fixed, and he said slowly.

The importance of salt cannot be overstated.

There are also a lot of salt mines in Qin State. Most of these things cannot be eaten, but they have to be eaten. The rest depends on luck and physical resistance.

In the past, it was soaked in water, wrapped in cloth and licked.

As you can imagine...

The first thing Luo Yan wanted to change was this. If it didn't work, he could collect coarse salt from the Six Kingdoms and then process it.

But multiple shipping charges.

What's more, Qin State did this before.

"This……"

After the words fell, everyone present swallowed their saliva. Refined salt used to be exclusive to the rich and powerful. Ordinary people are not qualified to touch these precious things.

Obviously, Luo Yan wants to popularize the whole Qin country, this...

"The second is paper. You can sell it. Even if you have the ability to ask the dignitaries of other countries to bid, Qin can also sell the papermaking technology to Qin. But the price must first satisfy Qin, and finally the glass. , if you are interested, you can sell it!"

Luo Yan clapped his hands, and after a while, several servants came out squatting on wooden supports, each holding a plate in their hands.

The things placed are clearly snow-like refined salt, white paper, and various colored glazes.

These colored glazes are naturally a foil for iron smelting, sand-fired glass.

The storage rate is not high, and there are variegated colors, but it is definitely a luxury in this era, and it is not a problem to attract the attention of the powerful.

Everyone likes shiny things.

Especially things like colored glaze, which used to be mined and polished from natural sources, but Luo Yan took them out in batches in front of him, which really blinded their eyes. This thing is worth thousands of dollars.

"Teacher, I don't know what the price is?"

A merchant couldn't bear it anymore and asked Luo Yan.

"Joining the chamber of commerce is the country's merchants. These things are appetizers. There will be many similar things in the future. For the first batch of entering the chamber of commerce, I will give you the cost price. After that, I will only make [-]% of the profit from your sales. What’s yours is your own, how about it?”

Luo Yan said lightly.

This price is absolutely fair. Although the cost price is also profitable, who would think it is too much~
What's more, Luo Yan has a lot of things to do next. Qin's treasury alone can't withstand his toss. If he doesn't think about ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, how can he speed up the construction speed.

"The Ba family is willing."

Widow Qing spoke first without any hesitation.

As soon as the pretty widow finished speaking, the Emerald Tiger on the side also responded: "The villain is willing to contribute 50 gold to buy goods and join the chamber of commerce."

"Madam Ba will be the president of the chamber of commerce from now on, and Emerald Tiger will be the vice president. As for you..."

Luo Yan said directly, and then looked at the hesitant merchant.

"The villain is willing to join the chamber of commerce!"

"The villain is also willing!"

……

Almost after Widow Qing and Emerald Tiger took the lead, everyone was moved. At least for now, following the Chamber of Commerce is a promising thing. The matter of refined salt alone is enough to attract many people. Who doesn't know the profit of selling salt, Six of them started their business as salt sellers.

Up to now, selling salt is still the main business, and now Luo Yan's appearance will undoubtedly cut off their financial resources. If they don't agree at this moment, the next fate can be imagined.

And Luo Yan's identity and status are clearly out of their reach.

Not to mention them, even the people behind them dare not say anything.

In particular, Lu Xiangguo has already explained in advance, they are very good at it, and this time it is just a formality.

Luo Yan knew this too well.
