"Wait."
Jiang Fan stopped him.
"What are your orders, Your Highness?"
Jiang Fan was a little funny. Gao Rong's attitude today was obviously different from that day when he went to Gao's house to have dinner.
"Nothing else. I have made a lot of snacks these days. You can bring some back to the eldest princess later."
Gao Rong did not refuse: "I have received His Highness's invitation..."
He suddenly turned his head: "Why is it a family dinner?"
No wonder Gao Rong was surprised. It was okay to attend the second and third events, but Jiang Fan invited them as guests of the first event.
Jiang Fan touched his head and asked, "What is it if it's not a family dinner? Xiaocui and I are engaged, and Jieyu is my aunt, right?"
Gao Rong was stunned for a moment. He really couldn't refute this. He was silent for a while and finally agreed.
Gao Rong was not so perceptive when he left. Anyone who saw him carrying a big baggage, carrying a basket of various snacks in his left hand, and holding up a grass handle filled with various kinds of candied haws in his right hand, how could he become scared? , let alone wearing Chi You’s mask, even wearing the mask of King Yama is not enough.
Gao Rong seemed to regret a little. He should have walked through the secret passage, but it was too late. He could only lower his head and hurriedly walked out the door with his long legs, almost as if he was running away.
What's terrible is that Jiang Fan's strange laughter can be heard behind him.
Although we talked about some serious things today, we were able to achieve this effect and the level of happiness was no worse than those three days.
Mr. Jiang hummed a tune proudly and prepared to play on the swing for a while.
But I didn't expect that things wouldn't stop right after Gao Rong started.
The visitor is here again, but we still have to see him. After all, he came all the way from the grassland.
"The little man goes to see His Highness, Your Majesty, he will live a long and healthy life——"
Jiang Fan looked at the little old man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks lying under his feet in surprise.
"Traitor...ah, Zeng Xi, why are you here?"
This person is none other than King Youxian. The Bank of China said Zeng Xi was the one who sent Jiang Fan the last part of the Imperial Dao Longji Gong on behalf of King Youxian and asked to do business with him.
"Your Majesty," Zeng Xi stood up at Jiang Fan's signal and said with a smile: "Over the past few months, the Prince's subordinate, Mrs. Qing, has established contacts with my Youxian Prince's Department, and the business channels have been opened. I have been specially ordered by my king to Come and thank the prince."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and four people came up carrying two large boxes of gifts.
"Oh? It's a gift again. King Youxian is very good at doing things."
Zeng Xi smiled and opened the box, "Your Majesty is rich in the world and is very interested in gold, silver and jewelry. I specially asked my king to collect some rare treasures and send them to you. I hope your Majesty likes them."
Jiang Fan lowered his head and looked, and sure enough, there was a box of precious medicinal materials. The medicine had a rich aroma and was absolutely extraordinary.
The other box was full of ancient silk books, as well as several ancient-looking tortoise shells, animal bones or bronzes engraved with inscriptions.
Jiang Fan immediately felt very satisfied. Compared with gold, silver and jewelry, this was what he liked more.
"You suggested it all? Okay, yes, yes, I will give you a heavy reward."
Zeng was delighted to see that Jiang Fan was very satisfied and smiled even more happily: "Last time, the prince mentioned something that he wanted to do. How can I not do my best? These medicinal materials are rare treasures in the grassland and are rarely found in the Chinese community."
Zeng Xi introduced: "And these ancient books..."
Jiang Fan waved his hand: "Needless to say, it was probably stolen by King Youxian during various turbulent times."
Zeng Xi smiled awkwardly: "This, this... the property returns to its original owner."
Jiang Fan snorted: "Even if you can speak, I will accept all these."
Naturally, a huge gold brick weighed down Zeng Xi's already hunched back.
But there was clearly a smile on his face. Then he quickly took out a booklet: "This is specially prepared by the villain. The prince told me last time that he was interested in the secret realm. After returning, the villain visited everywhere and compiled some to present to the prince."
Jiang Fan was very satisfied: "Well, you work very hard. You are very good. The king of your family has you as his right-hand man."
In fact, this compliment must have been excessive, but Zeng liked hearing it, so he was naturally overjoyed.
"Young man, on behalf of my great king, I wish you well. Your Majesty has something to say. If you want to do business with him this time, you must be sincere and sincere. The price will be determined by him..."
"He is very generous." Jiang Fan said calmly: "But don't worry, tell King You Xian that the conditions will never be higher than those of King Zuo Xian."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zeng Xi was overjoyed and hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed.
"Okay, you can sit down and talk. Now that the business has been opened, you can hand over the following matters to Mrs. Qing, but I still have to remind you that King Zuo Xian..."
"Be sure to keep it secret. Prince, just don't worry."
Of course Jiang Fan was relieved. From their point of view, he was freed from King Zuo Xian and no one could take advantage of him anymore. He would obviously be very careful.
It's just Jiang Fan who doesn't pay that much attention. After all, it was never Jiang Fan's goal to only do business with King Zuo Xian. What he wanted was to sell these so-called treasures all over the grassland in exchange for real treasures such as cattle, sheep, and horses.
Jiang Fan had actually known about that business channel for a long time. Because the Youxian King's tribe did not border the Qin Dynasty, Ba Qing adopted the method of transporting it through Canglan through the Black Sail Gang, and finally delivered it to Northern Xinjiang and handed it over to Wei Xiaohong for operation.
At the beginning, Xiao Hong was very resistant to this, and even without knowing the inside story, she almost came to Jiang Fan with a long tassel gun to settle the score.
But after Ba Qing's explanation, Xiaohong quickly understood what a sinister business this was and immediately agreed happily. And this move also brings another benefit. In order to do business, King Youxian will inevitably tighten restrictions on each tribe. Although the four kings are actually special circumstances in which independent tribes form an alliance, it is impossible to cut off the grass-grazing business, but it will definitely will be significantly reduced.
But Xiaohong was also aggrieved. Such huge profits could only be obtained by the Qin State. As a Wei citizen, she could not and had no way to withhold a large amount. Fortunately, Jiang Fan gave her certain benefits. These so-called certain benefits were already amazing wealth for Xiaohong.
But she couldn't expose these, she could only use them as her own small treasury for future use.
"Zeng Xi——"
Jiang Fan looked at him: "Do you have anything else to do when you come here?"
Zeng Xi quickly clasped his fists and said, "Nothing else."
"No...if you don't have it, I would like to ask you something."
"The villain tells everything he knows."
Zeng Xi regarded Jiang Fan as the God of Wealth and a noble man who had achieved his current status. There was no slightest sign of neglect.
"Well...I heard that the grassland has been very lively recently..."
Zeng Xi was stunned: "What the prince is referring to..."
"Isn't the Fuli Conference lively enough?"
Zeng Xiah said: "That's what the prince said. Indeed, the Fuli Conference is very important. It has huge grassland and prestige. The four kings are determined to win it."
Jiang Fan nodded: "Interesting, what does King Youxian think?"
"My king sent his second son Hu Ergan to attend the meeting in the royal court."
