After the fairy disappeared

"Neither Lingshan nor Emperor Mou intend to investigate the case of the missing tribute. Of course I respect the client's wishes; besides, Mou Guo has secretly colluded with the rebel party, and maybe the Yingya Guards..." He Lingchuan said seriously, "It's just that Mei Concubine just doesn’t know. Besides, I just want to get clues from Concubine Mei. As for whether she lives or dies in the future, what does it have to do with me?"

The land and water support the people, and the Shining Gold Plains has raised people like Mei Fei. She cannot be an isolated case, and there is no point in killing her and arresting her.

"Don't think that just one or two kindnesses of not killing can make her feel grateful." He Lingchuan said leisurely, "She has a character like a fox and a wolf, and she sees the world more thoroughly than you. I will meet this woman next time , you have to be extra careful.”

Dong Rui sighed, feeling a little unmotivated.

Some people and things on the Golden Plains are like clouds gathering and dispersing, one wide and two wide.

What Concubine Mei said also echoed in He Lingchuan's mind:

God is unfair, I can only fight for it myself!

At least she did.

In the Golden Plains, and even in this chaotic world, no one even listens to the lamentations of the majority of the weak when they are crushed by the millstone of fate.

This chaotic and hopeless continent has longed for a little justice and a little hope for too long.

He Lingchuan has been wondering, where is the source of their misery?

Is it really because God is unfair?

Dong Rui asked him: "Where are you going now?"

"Enter the palace." He Lingchuan already had a clue. "Let's go see You Enguang."

This is the outskirts of Xun City, just on the way to King Peng Palace.

At this time, only a few days had passed since the fall of the country of Fan and the new king's accession to the throne. The country of Peng was still in a transitional period and the civil strife had just stopped.

He Lingchuan and the two walked back to the capital, but they didn't find that the security here had improved, and the places that should be chaotic were still in a mess.

Probably the new royal court couldn't take any action to sort out these details.

Arriving at Xuncheng, He Lingchuan went into the palace to pay a visit to the new king.

He had dealt with You Enguang in the Xiaoyao Sect, and he had the envoy token from Mou foreign country in hand, so he had the green light to meet the new king quickly.

He Lingchuan entered the palace this time to discuss business with You Enguang as the Lord of Goodness.

In fact, it would be better to wait a few months to observe the situation, but it happened to be passing by, so he just took care of it.

Although the foundation of the old Wei Kingdom was poor, Julu Port had a unique location and was the best port in the entire central and western part of the Golden Flash Plains. Countries to the west that want to do business with the Golden Plains will most likely have to land here.

The Yangshan Islands are no exception.

He Lingchuan's identity is subtle. He is both the envoy and the master of the Yangshan Islands. With two layers of BUFF superimposed, he becomes You Enguang's most welcome guest.

After friendly negotiations between the two parties, the tariffs paid by Yangshan's caravan at Julu Port were halved. At the same time, they enjoyed conveniences in customs clearance, warehousing, and cargo flow. Yangshan's merchants were also able to enjoy preferential commercial taxes throughout the Peng Kingdom.

You Enguang had just taken over the mess created by King Wei, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe King Wei as "everything is in ruins waiting to be revitalized". All he could think about was how to make money. He Lingchuan came to discuss cooperation. Wasn't that exactly what he wanted and they hit it off right away?

There is another one:

People who admire good deeds can form escort teams and escort bureaus in Peng State, accept private employment, and help caravans do business.

In other words, the Yangshan Islands can legally establish armed forces in Peng State. You Enguang was originally reluctant to this point, but firstly, he was moved by the other conditions offered by He Lingchuan. Secondly, he also knew the situation of Pengguo's trade routes, which was that bandits were rampant and Pengguo's own army would clear them out. It's so hard to get up.

You can't protect others from doing business, so it makes sense for them to build their own armed forces to protect their own caravans. Who made the new Peng country small and weak?

At this delicate moment, this disadvantage in terms of status and national strength was He Lingchuan's opportunity and bargaining chip to strive for the most favorable negotiating terms, and he seized it.

In the end, both parties took a step back on the number, size and location of the escort team, and finally reached an agreement.

All are happy.

He Lingchuan smiled happily.

As long as there is an opening in the policy to allow "legal access" for the forces that support good deeds, they will be able to break through any subsequent restrictions on the number of people and location.

How can the human heart resist the temptation of money?

The ant nest that collapsed the embankment was not dug in a day, right?

The mirror let out a cry: "Shining Gold Plains is a hard bone that no one else can chew. Do you have good teeth?"

"The bone stew soup is also very fragrant." He Lingchuan never found it difficult to chew the meat.

He is very self-aware. How long have Bejia and Mou Guo been infiltrating the Golden Gold Plains? How could it be his turn to eat delicious meat?

The Yangshan Islands need the products of the Golden Plains, especially ores, but the safety of trade routes has always been a long-standing problem that no one can solve. It would be best if the armed forces of the Yangshan Islands take personal care of it.

Not to mention, the mineral veins on the Gold Flash Plains are all occupied by mining tyrants or local forces. If you negotiate the terms with someone today, they may turn away and refuse to accept it tomorrow, or another group of people will come to power in a few days. Disregard the old accounts of our predecessors.

How can doing business be easy? He Lingchuan had already seen all kinds of dirty things.

Especially in the Golden Plains, it is too difficult to do business in a disciplined manner. But if your fist is hard enough, others will start to be kind to you.

How do you say that? Difficulties are like springs, they soften when you harden them.

Only by entering with force can a low-price and stable supply of ore be guaranteed. He Lingchuan must try his best to hold this supply line in his own hands.

More importantly, You Enguang allowed him to introduce force into Peng Kingdom, which meant that the Yangshan Islands reached out to the Shining Gold Plains openly!

From then on, the Yangshan Islands could use this place as a base, and use the Yangshan caravans to circulate around, gradually spreading their power into the Golden Gold Plains.

He Lingchuan still missed the Golden Flash Plains, just like Bailie.

On the surface, he came to do a mission for Mou Guo; in fact, the agreement reached between Yangshan and Peng Guo was his biggest gain from the Ming Dengzhan mission!

To put it bluntly, he came to the Shining Gold Plains just to step on the plate and put in the work ahead.

The soul-capturing mirror also basically understood his thoughts, and said, "I hope this Peng country can be stabilized, otherwise your charming eyes will be seen by a blind man."

"Who says it isn't?" If Peng State falls again, the agreement between it and He Lingchuan will probably be invalidated.

If you want to do business in an unstable place, this is the political risk that Yangshan Islands must bear.

"I hope Peng Guo can survive a little longer." This kind of thing was beyond his control.

The first golden leaves fell from the parasol trees on the Chipa Plateau, and He Lingchuan also returned to Panlong City.

It was not difficult to go to the ocean to fetch a lamp, but the journey was very long and it took six months to go back and forth.
