A three-year-old child in Xihuang knows that trading with barbarians is a lucrative business. Otherwise, private smuggling activities would not have been so rampant over the years.
It is true that at the beginning of the transaction with Ximan, there was indeed a certain point in exchange for the treasure of Ximan. But the wealth and silk moved people's hearts, and the continuous transport of gold and silver seas has long dazzled people's eyes and confused people's hearts.
Wealth, at first glance, does not have much effect on practitioners, after all, cultivation is the foundation. But everything is always worth measuring. When wealth exceeds a certain limit, no one dares to underestimate it.
Everyone wants a share of this huge fortune. It is true that the imperial clan rules the Western Wilderness, but its interior is not monolithic. What's more, if it is really cut off, the smuggling transaction with the Western Man will touch the interests of too many people.
This consequence is unbearable even for the imperial family.
If you can't stop it, then mix it with one hand. The imperial clan accounts for a full 20% of the overall smuggling scale, and they make countless profits every year.
Jin Wu will take over the emperor's clan, and the smuggling of the barbarians means that a huge amount of wealth will flow through his hands every day. A little leak between the fingers is enough to eat a mouth full of oil, which is really an enviable beauty.
And this can also explain the change in Wu Shuai's attitude before and after, and the rush of King Chengtian.
After thinking about it, the frontier camp was full of envy for General Jin Wu.
…
"Master, do you really believe that King Cheng Tian came here just to let Jin Wu take over the smuggling matters?" Counselor Shuai said frowned.
Wu Tongtian's expression was calm, "What if you believe it or not? It doesn't matter." He put down the jade slip in his hand, and his eyes flickered, "As long as Jin Wu is involved in smuggling, he will be in trouble. Coming here is like killing one’s parents, not to mention this big fortune, General Jin Wu will be very busy in the future.”
As long as he was caught in the whirlpool of smuggling and infighting, Ning Qin would not have the energy to spread his arms in the army.
Even if he accumulated a lot of wealth in the process, when the Huanghuang renounced it, he was just fattening himself and making a big meal on others' plates.
At that time, Wu Tongtian didn't mind and took a fat bite.
What's more, there is another point hidden in this incident... Anyone who is contaminated with smugglers has never been in charge of the military!
Take Wu Shuai for example, he has a large fixed income every year, but he is not involved in the specific matters of smuggling.
This has something to do with smuggling. A person who personally sent supplies to the barbarians and caused a large number of soldiers to die on the battlefield is absolutely not qualified to become a military commander!
If General Jin Wu is smart enough, he should refuse this matter outright... But unfortunately, he seems to be dazzled by the wealth in front of him.
snort! The future is probably already doomed.
…
Ye Sang was playing with the jade talisman in his hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, obviously in a good mood.
Jin Wu will look beautiful, and he will be in charge of the emperor's smuggling affairs, and there will be a huge amount of wealth in the account.
But this step is dead chess!
He raised his hand and threw the jade talisman out, "Tell those people that the later Ye family is willing to be the people behind them, to do this well, and to be prosperous and rich in the future!"
"Yes, General!"
Below, an army general took it with both hands, turned and strode away.
…
"General, those people are not easy to provoke, why bother to get involved."
Jiang Chengzi was in the tent, and his subordinate smiled bitterly, with fear in his eyes.
The rest nodded.
"Your concerns will be very clear, but this is His Majesty's intention, and I have no choice."
Jiang Chengzi spoke slowly, with a calm demeanor, "You don't have to worry too much, although the general should cooperate with General Jin Wu, but the person in front is him after all."
Another point, Jiang Chengzi did not explain.
This matter is very likely to cause trouble, but it is also an opportunity.
Therefore, when King Chengtian proposed, he hesitated and agreed.
Of course, what will happen in the end depends on the development situation.
But right now, it's worth his effort!
…
Go to the carriage to the mine.
Qin Yu knocked on the window and the carriage stopped.
"Go, ask the meat girl to come over."
The answering call sounded, and soon someone left.
After a while, Rou Rou pushed the door and came in, holding the pheasant overlord in his arms. He glanced at Qin Yu with a guilty conscience, and hurriedly turned his head away.
After closing the car door, Qin Yu knocked on the window, and the team started on the road again.
Sitting on the soft couch, Rourou yawned, "Little Qin Yu, what are you calling me for? Tell you, let's put out the thoughts that shouldn't be moved."
this woman...
Qin Yu's forehead twitched, took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "I have business, I won't joke with you." He raised his hand a little, the rules of time and space were distorted, and then his mind moved slightly to summon the palace lantern.
On the opposite side, Rou Rou raised his eyebrows.
Qin Yu only assumed that she saw the palace lantern in front of her, but she didn't know that there were actually more emotions hidden in this expression.
For example... a real hammer!
"There is a powerful force hidden in this palace lantern. I need to seal it so that it cannot cause harm to me."
The flesh frowned, "Lu... Xiao Qin Yu, I told you before that in my current state, I don't have much power to use, so it's not easy to handle." She blinked, "Why don't you go and invite the other one, Although her realm is a bit weird, it shouldn't be difficult to achieve this."
Qin Yu knew that she was referring to Your Majesty, but it was too late to hide now, so how dare she take the initiative to call.
He shook his head, "There are some problems now, I can't ask her to take action, so I have to trouble you." After a pause, he continued: "If you have any conditions, please tell me."
It's not easy to handle, it's not that it can't be done, Qin Yu understands the meaning between the lines.
A smile appeared at the corner of Rou Rou's mouth, his fingers gently stroked the feathers of the pheasant overlord, pondering as if he was thinking.
"In the future, it is possible that I will ask you for something. Of course, this is a small loss for you at most, and it is definitely not a big problem."
"As long as you agree, I will help you seal it, and promise to turn the power in this palace lantern into a squib."
Qin Yu frowned. His first thought was to refuse this kind of unclear proposal, but if he really wanted to let this person do his best, I'm afraid she wouldn't agree.
After thinking about it, he said solemnly: "First of all, as you said, I will not be in danger, and secondly, if what your Excellency said is inconsistent with the facts, I have the right to refuse."
Rou Rou clapped his hands, "Deal!"
Then, Qin Yu felt that he might have been deceived.
I saw Rourou stretch out a finger, point it on the surface of the palace lantern, then retract it and wink at Qin Yu.
"All right."
hiss-
Sudden toothache!
Qin Yu's mouth twitched, "Are you sure?"
"Confirm and affirm!" The fleshy slap on the chest, although there is no waves, but it is also quite large, "Our reputation has always been first-class, and we have never made mistakes, so you can put one hundred and twenty hearts!"
Qin Yu suddenly wanted to scold someone. It was so embarrassing just now, did you do it on purpose? !
Rou Rou rolled his eyes, "What are you thinking about? It's me who can do this, or you can try someone else! Hmph, this is the work of the Wild Emperor, and I have already smelled the smell of incense in it. "
"If you don't believe me, I'll give you a chance to repent. Let me poke the palace lantern again, and then I won't serve you whoever you like!"
Although she was 80% sure that she was bluffing, Qin Yu still did not dare to take the risk. The hidden danger of palace lanterns is a landmine if he is not careful, enough to blow him to pieces!
Qin Yu guarded the palace lantern, "I'll ask again, are you sure it's all right?"
The fleshy eyes turned even bigger, and he waved his hand, meaning to hurry up and poke me with the palace lantern.
I can only believe it. Judging from the past behavior, there is a high probability that this mysterious existence will not joke about his life and death.
As soon as his mind moved, he put away the palace lantern, and Qin Yu said solemnly: "What I promise, I will do what I say, just say it when you need it."
goo-
I don't know if it was an illusion. At this moment, Qin Yu clearly heard the sound of fleshy swallowing saliva. He felt uneasy in his heart, and his eyes became hesitant.
"That's it!" Rourou wiped the corner of his mouth, got up and left, "Someone is waiting for you, I'll go first."
Pushing the door open, she immediately turned into that soft and weak little girl from the Demon Sect, with a face full of cowardice and easy to bully.
Outside the carriage, True Sage Baisu was waiting, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.
I thought to myself that this person's acting skills are really top-notch. If she doesn't take the initiative and remove the mask from her face, who can guess the truth.
Respectfully saluted, Bai Su Zhensheng retreated to the side.
Rou Rou returned a salute, gave him a careful look, and Zhen Sheng Bai Su shuddered, feeling a little about to cry.
I don't dare to be disrespectful. I'm too respectful to be warned. It's really hard to live!
When Rou Rou left and got into her carriage, the true sage Baisu regained his senses and stepped forward: "General, Baisu asks to see you."
"come in."
With a sound, Baisu Zhensheng jumped into the carriage and pushed the door in.
Qin Yu glanced at him, "Are you trying to say that this general should be in charge of the emperor's smuggling?"
Baisu Zhensheng nodded, "General, although this is an order sent by my uncle personally, you really shouldn't accept it!"
He gritted his teeth and lowered his voice, "Although the matter of smuggling between the imperial military and the barbarians is inextricably linked, and it is almost an open secret. However, all military generals who are directly involved in smuggling are destined to have a limited future. It's a huge stain!"
Qin Yu felt a bit of warmth in his heart, but he didn't reveal the slightest on the surface. He waved his hand, "This matter will have its own measure, you don't need to say more."
What Baisu Zhensheng wanted to say was interrupted by Qin Yu, "Okay, I still have some things to think about, let's go on with nothing else."
With a wry smile on his face, he turned to leave.
Watching the car door close, Qin Yu raised his hand and touched his chin. Although he didn't have a favorable impression of the Xihuang Empire, in the future, if there is a chance, it would be better to give him an arrangement.
That's all, it's all about the future, and it's too early to think about it now.
…
Jin Wu will be recognized by the imperial clan and will take over the smuggling matters of the imperial clan. Of course there are people who are dissatisfied with this matter.
Especially when a jade talisman was brought to the front, the dissatisfaction of these people broke out like a powder keg.
"Sir, what should we do?" The cultivator with a gloomy expression frowned.
Behind the desk, the middle-aged man on the large chair with a white face was calm, "Of course, prepare to go to see General Jin Wu. After all, you and I will have to look at others in the future."
Saying that, he looked up.
The gloomy practitioner sneered, "This subordinate understands!"
Turn around and walk away.
The study was quiet, but in fact, they were not alone here.
There are many practitioners sitting on the left and right sides below, all of them are silent, but they have an intimidating atmosphere.
Smuggling has never been an easy task, and barbarians are even more difficult to deal with. After a transaction, there may be an accident somewhere, and it is time to fight desperately.
They can live to this day and become intelligent people. Of course, it is not an ordinary role to eat a huge profit in these gray transactions.
The middle-aged man's pale face showed a hint of coldness, "Everyone, you and I have done some taboo things over the years. If no one investigates, of course there will be no problem, but now the city head is changing with the great king's flag, in the future you will I said no, who knows if there will be a reckoning." He leaned forward and tapped his fingers on the table, "So, what to do next, you have to know what to do next."
"Of course we know what your lord means, but Jin Wu will be His Majesty's person, and he has a noble status and holds military power. You and I are embarrassed by him, I'm afraid it will not be easy." The person below spoke slowly.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything about courting death. As long as you make sure that you will stand with me, this seat can guarantee that everyone will continue to make a fortune in the future!"
He stretched out his hand, picked up the jade talisman placed on the table, and played with it gently.
Everyone was silent for a while, got up and saluted, "I am willing to follow the adults!"
