"A big business partnership?"
Wu Shiluo was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhao Hao with some confusion: "May I ask what the big business the young master is talking about?"
"It's a big deal that benefits the country, the people, and you!"
"this...."
Wu Shiluo was at a loss for words, thinking that if there was such a good thing, would you come to me?
In terms of financial resources, I am not as good as Ba Qing. In terms of relationships, you and Ba Qing are much better than me, otherwise you would not be able to give her so many benefits.
Just when Wu Shiluo was complaining about Zhao Hao in his heart, Zhao Hao asked unexpectedly: "I heard that Wu Jun has been in contact with foreign businessmen recently?"
"Um?"
Wu Shiluo was stunned: "Young master, what are you referring to?"
"It's those people who trade horses for things..."
really!
As expected, Ba Qing told Zhao Hao about this!
It seems that today’s meeting is indeed not simple!
With so many thoughts in his mind, Wu Shiluo answered cautiously, "Young master, are you talking about those Wusun merchants?"
"Wusun?"
Zhao Hao frowned: "Who is the current king of Wusun?"
"It's hard to get around!"
"He's not dead yet?"
"this....."
Wu Shiluo twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, thinking to himself, how could anyone curse someone like this?
Even if you are the king of a foreign country, you, the majestic son of the First Emperor, have no deep hatred, so there is no need for this.
Zhao Hao seemed to realize that his words were a bit embarrassing, and touched his nose awkwardly.
He remembered that Nandou Mi seemed to be dead in history, and was killed by the Yuezhi people. Even the Wusun Kingdom was destroyed.
Later, Mao Dun took in Li Jiao Mi, Nandou Mi's son, and successfully avenged Wu Sun by making the Dayue King's skull into a wine glass.
Now that Nandou Mi is still there, it means that Dayuezhi has not attacked Wusun yet, which is good information.
However, Zhao Hao did not discuss difficult matters with Wu Shiluo, but directly changed the subject and said, "Well, that's not important. What's important is that I want to open up a silk porcelain road and compete with the countries in the Western Regions. Regarding trade, your Wushi Trading Company already has business dealings with foreign races, so I think it is most appropriate to leave this matter to you!"
"The Road to Silk Porcelain?"
Wu Shiluo looked at Zhao Hao doubtfully.
But Zhao Hao explained: "It's silk and porcelain. In the future, there will be more Daqin products to be sold to the countries in the Western Regions, including tea and refined salt!"
"Sir, do you really mean what you say?"
Wu Shiluo's eyes widened and he subconsciously looked at the man in black robe, only to see that the man in black robe was in high spirits and looked happy.
"Wu Jun thinks this young master is joking with you?"
Zhao Hao asked seriously.
"No no...."
Wu Shiluo waved his hands again and again and said frankly: "I'm not going to hide it from you, sir. The old minister and the young master coincided with each other on this matter. The old minister also wanted to expand the trade routes in the Western Regions, but...
"It's just that safety is not guaranteed, right?"
"That's right!"
Wu Shiluo nodded and said: "The road to the Western Regions not only has to pass through the desert, but also has many dangerous places with few human traces. There are even many bandits on that road, and occasionally you can encounter marauding foreign cavalry, such as Xiongnu, Dayue clan, Qiang people, etc..."
"In addition, not all the countries in the Western Regions are friendly to the Qin Dynasty. Some countries will set up checkpoints to embarrass the caravans. I am worried that the caravans will never return, so I have not taken any action."
"Since there are so many dangers, how did those foreign caravans come to Da Qin?"
Zhao Hao asked with some confusion.
Although he knew that the road to the Western Regions was full of difficulties, foreigners in history had come to China to do business more than once, and they had done so since the Shang and Zhou dynasties until now.
Could it be that those robbers and foreign cavalry only robbed us Chinese people and let them go free?
This is impossible!
After all, they all live for profit. If they are treated differently, they will lose a lot of benefits.
This is very uneconomical for them.
Seemingly seeing through Zhao Hao's thoughts, Wu Shiluo smiled and explained: "Young master, you should know that foreign businessmen are a group of people who want money rather than their lives. After so many years of exploration, they have discovered their own secret passages and Ways to deal with danger, but they don’t want to reveal it to us!”
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and supports offline reading.
Zhao Hao readily agreed to Wu Shiluo, and then left Baixiangju with Zhongxian and Xiao He.
After watching them leave, Wu Shiruo narrowed his eyes, and then said to the man in black robe who had been silent next to him, "What do you think?"
"Although this matter is very dangerous, the benefits and achievements are also huge!"
The man in black robes replied sincerely, "In addition, because this matter offended Young Master Hao, it would be very difficult for us to go one step further and surpass the Ba Qing Trading Company..."
"this....."
Wu Shiluo was speechless.
In fact, he has been planning this trade route in the Western Region for a long time, and the person in charge of this trade route is this man in black robe.
The man in black robe is named Zhai Ji, and he is a descendant of the royal family of Zhai. After Zhai was destroyed by Jin, the royal family of Zhai fled to the capital of Jin. Later, Jin was divided among the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei, leaving the descendants of Zhai in an uncertain place. Therefore, they had no choice but to move to the border to live.
The cruel environment, as well as the possibility of alien plunder at any time, left the few descendants of the Zhai royal family in the end.
And Zhai Ji was the only survivor who was rescued by Wushi Luo during a sudden Huns raid.
Over the years, Zhai Ji has been following Wushi Luo and is regarded as his confidant.
In addition, he himself is also very powerful. Not only can he speak multiple languages, he is also proficient in business.
Seeing that Zhai Ji was right, Wu Shiluo no longer hesitated and said, "I am now forty-six years old, and there is no next forty years left. If we don't fight now, when will we wait?"
After saying that, he immediately said to Zhai Ji, "Go and inform them and ask them to come to the mansion for a banquet tomorrow!"
"yes!"
Zhai Ji responded and immediately turned around and left Baixiang Residence.
.......
the other side.
In an unassuming tavern in Xianyang City, the shadowy man and the burly man were talking in low voices with several men who were well-dressed and had no discernible figure.
"Are you sure Zhao Hao will meet you?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Bei. We saw him going to find Wu Shiluo with our own eyes. He must have heard about us and was very interested in those horses!"
"Then...how can you guarantee that you can kill him?"
"Don't worry, Asan's stuff is definitely worthy of your price, and haven't you seen how powerful that stuff is with your own eyes?"
"this...."
The man named Mr. Bei turned his head and glanced at the men beside him who were eating and drinking, and at the same time revealed half of his ferocious face.
If Zhao Hao were here, he would be surprised to find that this person is none other than Ziying, who escaped last time.
However, after not seeing each other for such a period of time, Ziying has changed a lot.
There were several criss-crossing scars on his face, which completely destroyed his appearance.
As he spoke, these scars squirmed weirdly and looked very disgusting.
I don’t know what Ziying went through during this time to become like this.
But he looked serious and said: "Kermit, I spent a lot of money, I hope you won't let me down!"
After saying that, he picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all in one gulp, with a look of hatred flashing in his eyes.
In the past, although he was not a handsome young man with an amazing appearance, he could still be considered a noble person who had been pampered since childhood.
Just because of Zhao Hao's sudden appearance, his destiny completely changed.
Now, not only has he lost everything before, but his appearance has also been ruined, and he seems to be a completely different person.
Since he was arrested by Zhao Hao for no reason last time, Meng De sacrificed his life to protect him and was finally rescued by Wu Chang. He thought he had completely got rid of Zhao Hao, but he didn't expect that this was the beginning of a nightmare.
Although Wu Chang didn't do anything to him, he was not kind enough to take him in, because it was Wu Chang's mission to save him.
However, without the protection of Wu Chang, he found that he had become a wanted criminal in Da Qin.
The sky was huge and he had nowhere to go, so he had no choice but to cut his own face with his own hands.
To avoid being wanted.
During this time, he was looking for his father Ying Chengjiao while planning to assassinate Zhao Hao.
However, Zhao Hao's whereabouts were always erratic, causing his plans to fail one after another.
By chance, he met Kermit.
The two chatted happily, and Kermit finally agreed to avenge Ziying, on the condition that Ziying must help him get the technology to make porcelain and paper.
Although Ziying was wanted by Da Qin, he still had hidden connections in Xianyang, so he agreed to him without thinking.
After all, to Ziying, national interests are no longer important. Only revenge on Zhao Hao can relieve the hatred in his heart.
In this way, during the period when Zhao Hao returned to Xianyang, he had been planning with Kermit on how to assassinate Zhao Hao.
Finally, Kermit found Asan from another alien caravan.
Asan is a businessman from the Maurya Empire. He claims to be a messenger from Shiva, who represents destruction, and can control snakes in the world.
He had a flute in his hand, which he said was a magical instrument given to him by Lord Shiva. When the flute sounded, the snakes would dance with the sound of his flute.
Ziying had never heard of Lord Shiva at all, and he didn't care about these messy things at all.
God Shiva also represents destruction. When you hear this name, you feel it has an indigenous flavor.
Compared with the Chinese gods, they lose a lot in terms of momentum.
However, Ziying doesn't care whether he is a god or not. He only cares about whether Ah San's method can kill Zhao Hao.
Although he had seen the terrifying scene of Ah San manipulating a snake with his own eyes, Zhao Hao was very alert and could not stand there and let the snake bite him.
So whether he can succeed or not is what he cares about most.
"Sir, Zhao Hao has come out of Baixiangju. I just received news that Wu Shiluo has invited all the foreign merchants who contacted him to attend a banquet tomorrow!"
Just when Ziying was doubtful, a man with a hurried expression and a black scarf came in and whispered a few words to him.
"Where's Zhao Hao?" Will he attend this banquet? 「
"She should be attending. I heard from people in Wushiluo's mansion that Wushiluo attaches great importance to this banquet and even purchased a large amount of seafood. Zhao Hao likes seafood very much!"
"good!"
Ziying smiled excitedly, then turned to look at the tightly wrapped, dark-skinned, foreign man with bulging eyes beside him: "Mr. Asan, I'll leave it to you this time. When the job is done, I promise you that the reward will be only a little more than Quite a few!"
"Don't worry, my power has been restored to its peak. Aren't I just a little prince? In front of the great Lord Shiva, I am nothing!"
The foreign man named Asan touched the oil on his mouth and said confidently.
Ziying glanced at him, then at Kermit, and then led them out of the tavern.
