General Pavilion, Guiyuan.
Chai Jingyun and Duan Wenjun were in the same group, sipping osmanthus tea and chatting.
Because Mrs. Yinghua told me, the tea waiter has come over to refill the tea several times.
Not only did I drink enough tea, I also ate a lot of snacks and fruits.
My stomach is already slightly full, and my energy has almost recovered.
When everyone heard that Lin Shuer had hoarded so many old cloth raw materials in just a few days, they couldn't help but be shocked.
A fourteen-year-old girl who has never been exposed to family business can manage this matter so well.
Duan Wenjun had to sigh that the Lin family's business genes were too strong.
The second eldest son, Lin Jinglei, took over the Lin family's property early on and has been helping Lin Zhengying manage it. He has become Lin Zhengying's right-hand man.
His business skills rank among the top three among Wangjiang's young masters.
The third child, Lin Jinglei, has always been a playboy.
But now that the prodigal son has turned around and taken care of the Nirvana Soap Shop, he has also shown extremely good abilities.
Now he is helping Duan Wenjun form an offensive and defensive alliance, and he is performing very well.
At this moment, Lin Shuer was like this again.
At that time, when Lin Shuer came to Beijing, Duan Wenjun only gave her thirty thousand taels of silver.
This was all the cash Duan Jiabao could produce at that time.
During this period, Lin Shuer used the method of driving up raw materials to continuously buy and sell.
The Dai family seemed to be constantly purchasing raw materials from the market, but in fact, a large part of it was deliberately given to them by Lin Shuer.
It is also by using this method that she can increase her capital.
Moreover, if the raw materials hoarded in hand were sold at the current market price, they would probably be worth about 400,000 taels.
This means that it has doubled more than ten times.
She no longer has amazing business talent, but she is a monster.
As for the boss Lin Jingyun, it seems that he has always been a guy who only reads books from sages. I don’t know how he will handle the affairs in Rhine County...
Just when Duan Wenjun's thoughts were wandering, Chai Jingyun changed the topic from the New Year's cloth to the war in the north. "Wenjun, why are you so sure that the court will not collect the New Year's cloth again this time?"
Chai Jingyun actually already had the answer in his heart.
He had even guessed what Duan Wenjun was thinking.
Most likely, it will be consistent with his thoughts.
However, although they thought so in their hearts, he did not have enough confidence in how things would develop.
He knew that Emperor Shun summoned him back to Kyoto this time because of the memorial he had submitted some time ago.
He also knew that when Emperor Shun called him back to Kyoto this time, he would definitely ask him about his handling of the war in the north.
During this period of time, he had been thinking about these issues, so he submitted the memorial.
He already had many ideas in his mind about what Emperor Shun would ask and how he should answer.
No matter the details, he thought he had considered them all.
However, he still wanted to hear Duan Wenjun's thoughts.
Perhaps, it can provide some help for him to enter the palace to meet the saint.
"I remember you told me last time that the Mo Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom were at war, and they both sent envoys, hoping to form an alliance with our Dashun." Duan Wenjun looked at him and smiled and said, "But we just sent a large army to defend the north. line of defense. I heard that the imperial court took back Yuxing Pass some time ago."
When Chai Jingyun heard this, he couldn't help but nodded, with a faint smile on his face, "Actually, that doesn't count as taking back Yuxing Pass. It's just that the Mo Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom are fighting, and they can no longer take care of Yuxing Pass, so we are Just taking advantage of the situation to help guard."
"Yuxing Pass was originally taken by the Yan State from Dashun, so it should be the territory of the Yan State." Duan Wenjun paused and continued, "When the Mo State attacked, the Yan State gave up directly, so later It’s considered Mo Country’s takeover.”
"Mo State and Yan State are in a deadlock, and Mo State can't take care of it, so Dashun has an opportunity to take advantage of it."
"We in Dashun seemed to have occupied Yuxing Pass without spending a single soldier, and did not fight against the armies of Mo State and Yan State, but in this process, we were already fighting against the two countries."
Guan Xing on the side seemed a little puzzled, "Since there was no battle and we just took over an empty city, how can there be any talk of a battle?"
Duan Wenjun did not immediately answer Guan Xing's words, but turned to look at Chai Jingyun and said, "Second Young Master, you know more about the matters in the court than we do, so it's up to you to speak!"
"It seems that Wenjun, you have seen it very clearly!" Chai Jingyun smiled when he heard this. "Actually, at this time, there is no need to hide it. This time the battle between the Mo Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom is a snipe and a clam fight, we Dashun are just sitting back and reaping the benefits. benefits."
"Whether it is the Mo Kingdom or the Yan Kingdom, after this battle, their vitality will definitely be severely damaged."
"Although we did not support the Yan State, we actually provided a lot of help to the Yan State secretly. It's just that there are some things that cannot be shown in name."
"The Yan State has always been extremely powerful. Even if the Mo State is caught off guard this time, it is not impossible to come back and turn defeat into victory. But even if we win, we will not be able to pay tribute to them anymore."
"But, the current situation, isn't the Mo country powerful? If the Yan country loses, the Mo country wins." As soon as Chai Jingyun finished speaking, Guan Xing immediately retorted, "Then they will definitely demand great benefits from us as victors." Gong. The Mo Kingdom is a group of greedy guys, and I am afraid they will be even more greedy than the Yan Kingdom."
Guanxing's thoughts are naturally the thoughts of most people.
"This is also the reason why the emperor has been hesitant!" Chai Jingyun let out a long sigh. "Although the situation has now reached a deadlock, if Mo State negotiates peace with Yan State when it has the upper hand, Yan State is likely to agree. Wait. The Mo Kingdom’s consolidation of its current territory is definitely a huge threat to us in Dashun.”
"Actually, I feel that the dispute between the Mo Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom is not of great significance." At this moment, Yun Batian, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "The young lady once said during her lifetime that whether it is the Mo Kingdom or the Yan Kingdom, country, their purpose will be very clear, and that is our Dashun. Only from our Dashun can they get what they want, such as food, tea, porcelain, etc."
"Yes!" Chai Jingyun nodded. "The palace also feels that there may not be a large-scale war between Mo Country and Dashun for the time being, but local conflicts are bound to be inevitable."
"Just like we pushed our defense to Yuxing Pass, firstly, with the barrier of Yuxing Pass, our Dashun border will be easier to defend; and more importantly, the imperial court is also testing the Mo Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom bottom line."
"So, the imperial court will definitely not be willing to hand over this year's cloth, year's tribute or anything like that again." Duan Wenjun smiled and nodded, "If I'm not wrong, the emperor's summoning of the second young master to the capital this time is also with This matter must be related! If there is a conflict between Mo Country and our Dashun, we must not be soft-hearted and must beat them painfully in the first battle, so that we can gain more initiative."
"But, if that's the case, why does the Dai family keep buying raw materials for old cloth?" Guan Xing looked puzzled. "People from the Dai family shouldn't be so stupid!"
"How could the emperor leave all his thoughts to those whom he does not trust very much?" Chai Jingyun smiled.
