"That's for sure. They will definitely not accept it, and they will lie and claim that they don't know anything about it."
"Why?" Shen Zhonghe was stunned and looked at Xue Ruitian, "This is not a small sum of money. Five thousand taels of gold can buy an entire city!"
"For Hu Shang, gold is the least valuable. It's not as valuable as the sea salt and tea in your hands!" Xue Ruitian chuckled. "In the Western Region, gold can be said to be everywhere." He saw Shen Zhonghe's eyes widened in surprise, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Looking at it from the looks of it, Master Shen has not had much dealings with people from the Western Regions, and he doesn't know their situation, right?"
"Yes." Shen Zhonghe was very honest. Hearing Xue Ruitian's words, he nodded honestly, "I have been in the south all year round. I deal with pirates and Japanese pirates. I only treat people from the Western Regions with their goods. Kazuto looks very strange."
"This is also their characteristic." Liang Jieque chuckled, "It's just that people in the Western Regions are generally very rich, of course, those who can dig out gold mines around the cities and counties where they live, and there are also a small number of people who don't have gold mines nearby. But there are also other mineral deposits, and life is pretty good." She looked at Shen Zhonghe and said, "Generally speaking, people in the Western Regions are not very interested in money. They like to make money. They just like the process. It only matters how much money they make. , whether they earn gold or silver, actually has little impact on them."
"Wait a minute." Shen Zhonghe interrupted Liang Jieque, "What do you mean by just liking the process of making money? They don't like money, so why do they want to make money? Isn't it better to do something else?"
"Because life is so rich, they don't need to think about whether life will be difficult, but they can't just do nothing and find something to do for themselves when they are bored. Looking around, some people are interested in dancing, If they are interested in drinking, they open a restaurant or something. There are also some people who have planted fruit trees at home and open fruit stalls. The remaining people like to travel around, so they form a convoy to sell goods in various places. "Liang Jieque spread his hands, "But they all have one thing in common, that is, they are not short of money."
"This kind of life is quite good." Shen Zhonghe showed an envious expression. "It's no wonder they refused to accept the two boxes of gold. In their eyes, the two boxes of gold were like two boxes of stones. There was no trace of them. The use of."
"That's it." Xue Ruitian nodded, "There is another point. This gold was actually used to trap Tian Mo and De Xiao. It was a handle that was held in someone's hand. If it was taken back, Xiao There will be no more braids. Or if you accept these two boxes of gold, it will be equivalent to accepting the life money of the two families. Then, they will not be able to trouble you in the future. This transaction is actually not good for them. Cost-effective."
"The Marquis is right." Liang Jieque nodded slightly and said, "Later, we thought about it and found that it was indeed the case."
"They really think long-term." Shen Zhonghe snorted coldly, "They want to hold people in their hands for generations to come, generation after generation." He took a breath and she said, "I don't know if Tian Mo Izumi Tokushino, knowing that their descendants have to pay the price for what they did, will not regret it very much.”…
"There should be no regrets. The situation at that time threatened survival. No matter who it was, they would make the same choice." Shen Cha looked at Shen Zhonghe and said, "The same goes for Mr. Shen."
"The general is right." Liang Jieque nodded, "What's more, more than a hundred years have passed, and there is no point in pursuing this anymore. We, the younger generation, can live the life we have now, thanks to them, no There is no need to dwell on this anymore.”
"That's what I said!" "Let's not talk about this for now. In fact, I still have a question that I want to ask Aunt Liang." Xue Ruitian looked at Liang Jieque, saw the other party nodded towards him, and said, "Before you When you told us, you didn't seem to mention where you were going to meet, and we forgot to ask about it. So, did you agree on where to meet in your letter? It can't be that it's not subject to the control of all parties. On the sea, right?"
"It's really true." Jin Jing nodded and touched her chin, "It would be nice to meet at sea, right? Think about this scene, it's really exciting, right?"
"Well, it is indeed." Chen Jiu shouted, "Two fleets
During the confrontation at sea, the leaders of both sides stood on the deck of the bow of the ship and shouted. He looked at Jin Jing sleepily, "It's a bit like people saying harsh words to each other before a fight, right?"
"Don't tell me, this description does have this flavor." Jin Jing clapped her hands gently, smiled, looked at Liang Jieque, and said, "But, Aunt Liang, you really can't be Is it like this?"
"Our guide is really like this, because it is very beneficial to us, more convenient and calmer. If it is in public, the other party will be more restrained, especially at sea. Taking into account all factors, it is not so easy to take action. Unfortunately, it is not like this." Liang Jieque shook his head slightly, smiled at them, and said, "They wrote the location on the letter. A small city in the Western Region. Although it is not as prosperous as Xijing City or Jiangnan, it is similar to here..." She pointed to the surroundings, "I mean Jiapingguan City, it is about the same level of prosperity."
"That's not bad? We have a lot of fireworks here, aren't we?"
"Yes!" Liang Jieque nodded, looked at Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, and then at Xue Ruitian, "It's already very good to have Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, Wuding Marquis Mansion and Shen Jiajun guarding here. They agreed to meet. The place is called Uda... No, Ubi City is a place where merchants gather. As I said before, people in the whole city are doing business. This city is more like the Western Region It is a cargo transfer station for merchants, and merchants from the Tiannan and Northern Kings will gather here, and then disperse in all directions after making transactions."
"Wait a minute!" Xue Ruitian looked at Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, and then at Liang Jieque, "Aunt Liang, what did you just say? This city is called..."
"Ubi City is the city with the highest status in the entire Western Region. Although the city is not big, it is a gathering place for merchants. In addition, the lord of this city has a good relationship with the princes of various countries in the Western Region, so..." Liang Jieque looked at it. He looked at the crowd and saw their expressions and said, "Do you know this city?"
"I know!" Shen Cha thought for a while, looked at Liang Jieque, and asked, "Where did you meet in Ubi City?"
"A place called Qiu Meng Tea House."
