Qin Dynasty snare people

In the next two days, Luo Yan's life was quite fulfilling, and his schedule was full.

Accompanying Jing Salad and Yan Lingji at night, after the court meeting during the day, they would either chat with Ying Zheng to discuss the general situation, or go to Lanzhi Palace to appease Zhao Ji's lonely and empty body and mind, or go to Zhaoxian Palace to flirt with Concubine Yan. In such a busy situation, During this period, he did not forget to organize the medical manual and handed it to Meng Ao, and took the opportunity to introduce Wushuang Ghost to Meng Ao.

The moment he saw Wushuang Ghost, Meng Ao's eyes straightened, and his face was full of love and admiration.

With Wushuanggui's physique and brains, it would be a waste not to join the military camp.

"Old General, I'll leave this person to you."

Luo Yan said to Meng Ao with a smile.

Luo Yan had already had the idea to hand over Wushuang Ghost to Meng Ao. It would be a waste to be a killer with Wushuang Ghost's size and ability. Such a giant with infinite strength and copper skin and iron bones should be wearing heavy armor and holding a giant axe. Go to the front lines and kill people.

Think of the image of the Wushuang ghost wearing heavy armor with all-round defense, holding a mountain-breaking ax, running and charging.

Just thinking about Luo Yan gave him a toothache.

It is definitely a killer weapon on the battlefield.

Luo Yan also planned to find some external skills for Wushuang Ghost to practice. With Qin's backing, there was absolutely no shortage of resources. Wushuang Ghost's gifted body was suitable for practicing external skills.

From Tianze, Luo Yan learned that Wushuang Ghost was born like this and had never practiced any serious martial arts.

It’s purely God’s reward.

"Okay, no problem!"

Meng Ao stroked his beard gently. He was not afraid of the ferocious Wushuang ghost next to Luo Yan. Instead, he was full of joy and appreciation, as if he was looking at a peerless magic weapon. If Luo Yan could see it, how could he not see it: " The premise is that he must be obedient.”

When he said this, Meng Ao looked at Luo Yan with a serious expression.

The Wushuang Ghost is a sharp weapon. It is easy to use if you are obedient, but if you are disobedient, you will be in trouble.

"Everything that needs to be explained has been explained. As long as you eat enough for him three times a day and feed his belly, he can chop whoever you want without any hesitation. However, there are also ugly things to say up front. I hope the old general can help you look at it. Be careful, don't let him be bullied."

Luo Yan nodded and smiled, reached out and patted Wushuanggui's arm, and said to Meng Ao.

He believed Meng Ao could hear the hidden meaning.

The person was completely handed over to Meng Ao, but if Meng Ao let Wushuang Gui get into trouble without knowing it, Luo Yan would also find trouble.

"Don't worry, that kind of thing will never happen in my account. I can rest assured about this matter."

Hearing this, Meng Ao stroked his beard and assured softly.

"Of course I'm relieved. If not, how could I hand the person over to the old general? It's clearly written in the book. The old general only needs to find a doctor to figure it out. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me. "

Luo Yan nodded and smiled, while continuing.

"Okay, if this matter comes true, I will take credit for you!"

When Meng Ao heard this, his expression became a little more serious and he said in a deep voice.

Compared with Wushuanggui, the matter of this medical book is a major matter related to the Qin army. Once it is really effective and can be popularized, it can greatly reduce casualties and battle losses.

As the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, Meng Ao knew what this meant.

"The old general is too polite. I'll have a chat with him, and then I'll trouble the old general."

Luo Yan said softly.

"Please, Master."

Meng Ao smiled, stretched out his hand and said.

Luo Yan was not polite, pulled the reluctant Wushuang Ghost aside, kicked Wushuang Ghost's calf, and said angrily: "I found a good job for you, and you still show my face, butt Sit down, I don’t like looking up and talking to you.”

"Roar~"

Wushuang Ghost roared, expressing his dissatisfaction, and then sat down on the floor, tilting his big head, looking very unhappy.

"Yan Lingji has forgotten everything she told me yesterday!"

Luo Yan hummed.

"..."

Hearing this, Wushuang Ghost lowered his head, his fierce eyes becoming less sinister and more benign.

"Don't die. If you encounter danger, remember to save your life first. Don't act recklessly. I don't want to see Yan Lingji holding me and crying, and you don't want to see Yan Lingji sad~"

Luo Yan stood next to Wushuang Ghost, who was about the same height as Wushuang Ghost was sitting there. He felt a sense of joy. Looking at Wushuang Ghost's gloomy expression, he whispered instructions.

"……Roar!"

Wushuang Ghost patted his chest, growled, and his eyes suddenly became fierce.

After staying with Wushuang Ghost for a long time, Luo Yan could roughly guess the meaning of Wushuang Ghost's behavior.

Wushuang Ghost expressed that he is still very strong and will not die so easily.

"Don't be brave, forget it, you won't understand even if I say it. After entering the army, remember to listen to Meng Ao. As for other people's words, you don't have to listen to others. Do you understand? If something happens, I will take care of it for you! "

Luo Yan reached out and patted Wushuanggui's arm and said in a deep voice.

"……kindness!"

Hearing this, Wushuang Ghost was silent for a while and then made a thick sound.

Luo Yan smiled, stopped talking, and sat with Wushuanggui for a while. Among Tianze's group, his favorites were Yan Lingji and the scheming Wushuanggui. As for the others, they were all considered objects of use. There was no relationship between the two parties. What friendship.

Luo Yan did not stay in Meng Ao's mansion for long, and declined Meng Ao's idea of ​​drinking, and Luo Yan left.

Because there will be something to do later.

As for the reason, it was naturally that the pretty widow came. Li Si didn't spend much effort, and the pretty widow came to the door by herself.

Obviously the other party also knows his current situation.

Luo Yan still attached great importance to this matter, so he met Li Si, and the two of them went to the agreed restaurant.

"Li Si doesn't understand why Daliang Zao would like this Ba Widow Qing alone. Her current situation is not very good. Both in terms of connections and strength, she can't compare with several other wealthy businessmen. From the perspective of my subordinates, it won't take long. She won’t be able to hold on any longer.”

Li Si also carefully investigated the other party in the past two days.

Naturally, I discovered that the real situation was much worse than what I had previously known.

The family property under the control of this Ba Widow Qing is too big, but she is too young, and her father-in-law has just died, so her prestige is not enough to control the people below. During this time, the property is shrinking, so I don’t think it will be necessary. It won't take long for him to fall from his position as the richest man, and he may even be wiped out by other businessmen.

There is no so-called benevolence, righteousness, and morality in the business world.

Not to mention such huge benefits.

"She can last for more than half a year without any external help. This alone is enough to show her ability. As for the other things, it is not important. What I like is her."

Luo Yan chuckled and said directly without hiding anything from Li Si.

Through short videos.

Luo Yan knew a lot about the other party.

This pretty widow was quite capable in history. She even boarded Ying Zheng's boat later and was praised by Ying Zheng. According to unofficial records, the mercury in Ying Zheng's tomb was provided by this widow Qing.

Although he didn't know what happened in history, Luo Yan knew from these things that this widow was not innocent.

Now that the other party has not yet collapsed and is in a bit of a bad situation, how can Luo Yan not help her in times of need and support her.

"Do you value her as a person??"

Li Si frowned and remained silent, feeling a little weird in his heart.

In Li Si's view.

Although this woman has some ability, compared to the others, her help and influence are too low.

Even if you want to support, it will take a lot of time, and the gain outweighs the loss.

After all, the power of the Qin State suppressed merchants. How could merchants dare to resist with their status?

If you promise some benefits, they will naturally obey.

There are so many choices.

Apart from her appearance and figure, this pretty widow had nothing worthy of attention in Li Si's opinion.

Thinking of this, Li Si couldn't help but look at Luo Yan. He didn't dare to think too much. Who asked him to follow Luo Yan to earn a living? Even if Luo Yan really had such thoughts, he could only pretend that he didn't see it.

soon.

The two of them came to an elegant restaurant. The whole restaurant was empty except for a few waiters wiping the tables.

As Luo Yan entered.

A servant quickly came over and took the two of them to the private room on the top floor.

As the door opens.

A beautiful figure in the elegant room slowly stood up.

Luo Yan's eyes locked on the other party instantly, and he recognized the other party's identity, the pretty widow!

The pretty widow was born with an oval-shaped face, a high nose bridge, three-dimensional facial features, a deep outline with a touch of exotic style, the eyes under the willow eyebrows are large, not as weak as ordinary women, the lips are plump, and there are no fine lines on the lips, which makes her look... Extremely rosy and bright red.

Her appearance is not as feminine as that of a Jiangnan woman, but her skin is quite delicate, with a blush in her white skin, giving her a different flavor.

Further down.

Her exquisite figure is wrapped in a long skirt, which cannot hide the bulging mountains and valleys, which attracts people's attention.

really big!

This was Luo Yan's heartfelt evaluation and praise, and he had no other obscene thoughts.

"Ba Shi, a commoner woman, has met the Grand Tutor."

Widow Qing looked at the visitor, stood up to greet him, bent down to salute, and said greeting in a somewhat reserved manner. Her voice was soft, quite gentle and pleasant, and also revealed a bit of exhaustion.

There are many widows these days, and they are very pitiful.

Luo Yan was heartbroken. He took a few steps forward quickly and stretched out his hand to help her. He did not touch Widow Qing's body. He kept a certain distance and said with a very polite smile: "No need to be polite. This time I invite you to come." Let’s meet, please forgive me for any intrusion.”

Gentle attitude, elegant manners and personable demeanor.

The scholar's gentle aura was exuded involuntarily, and he was possessed by the movie king. Li Si looked at him sideways, a little distracted.

Li Si: Sir, you have changed again!

Widow Qing felt Luo Yan's respect, and couldn't help but feel sour in her heart. After all, she had suffered too much in a short period of time. In order to keep her huge family fortune, she had begged people and given gifts, but everyone They all despised her, and some even greedily wanted her.

It had been a long time since she had felt respected by others.

Everyone stared at her with greed and covetous eyes.

He is greedy for her wealth, covets her beauty, and wants both people and wealth.

Being approached by Luo Yan this time, Widow Qing felt a little uneasy. Fortunately, this Daliang Zaozhen was as rumored to be, a humble gentleman-like figure who served the country and the people.

Now it seems that it is true.

"I have brought you here to discuss something. We are discussing business, so you don't need to be polite to me. Sit down."

Luo Yan sat down first, smiled softly at Widow Qing, and said politely.

Her attitude is also very good. She doesn't look down on the widow because she is a pretty widow, or covet her beauty. She behaves in a moderate manner.

After all, the future is long.

Luo Yan has never been the kind of person who likes to use force. He likes to take things step by step and do what he wants.

"Thank you, sir."

The widow Qing felt a little calmer and glanced at the old man behind her. He was the old housekeeper of the Ba family. If it hadn't been for the help of this old man of the Ba family, she might not have been able to support herself during this period.

After all, the family fortune of the richest man in the country is now in the hands of a widow. How many people don’t covet it?

You must know that half a year ago, she, this pretty widow, was just a little woman.

Now he has to support this huge family business with a small white flower on his head.

"You should have heard of my story. I recently planned to convene wealthy merchants from seven countries in the name of Qin to form a chamber of commerce. On the one hand, it is to manage merchants, and on the other hand, it is also to cooperate with each other. In the future, Qin needs to repair Roads, building school palaces, etc., all require a lot of money, manpower and material resources.”

Luo Yan looked at the beautiful widow in front of him and said with a great attitude.

Luo Yan is very patient when it comes to beauties.

If the other person is not good-looking, it will naturally be Li Sishang.

Not long after he finished speaking, a waiter knocked on the door and brought tea and snacks.

"The women of the people have heard about it for a long time. This matter...the Ba family is willing to set an example. The women of the people are willing to use half of their family wealth to support the Qin State."

Widow Qing pursed her lips when she heard the words, her eyes became firm, she looked at Luo Yan and said in a deep voice.

Half of the family wealth?

Who is this girl looking down on?

How can I, Luo Zhengchun, be such a greedy person?

Luo Yan murmured in his heart. He didn't expect that the pretty widow in front of him would regard him as a bad guy who was attacking the autumn wind. He smiled and did not say anything. He picked up the teapot and gave them a cup of tea. He gently pushed it. In front of the pretty widow: "You must have misunderstood me."

As he spoke, he shook his head.

Although there was a misunderstanding, Luo Yan also felt Widow Qing's thoughts and courage.

Knowing his current situation, it is quite courageous to directly spend half of his family wealth to buy peace.

No wonder it was able to sustain itself for more than half a year, surrounded by tigers and wolves.

However, it can also be seen from this that Widow Qing's situation is not good. There are many people and forces targeting her, and each of them has a huge appetite, so big that the other party is desperate.

Misunderstand?

Widow Qing blinked her eyes when she heard the words, with a hint of confusion in her eyes. She was a little confused about the meaning of Luo Yan's words. After all, wasn't this why Luo Yan called her here?

Or?

Is it still too little?

Widow Qing's heart trembled slightly, her eyes seemed a little flustered, and she couldn't help but glance at the old housekeeper behind her.

If this half of the family wealth is still too small, if it is more, they will really have to sell their ancestral properties, such as those mineral veins.

These are the lifeblood of the Ba family and cannot be touched easily.

"You misunderstood me. How could it be that I asked you to come here because of your Ba family's property? The Qin State governs the country according to the law, how can it do things like buying and selling by force? Besides, such behavior is not something I, Luo, can do. Coming out, I also know a little bit about the ways of merchants.

As I said before, in business, I will not and cannot force others to do anything. "

Luo Yan frowned, looked at the pretty widow in front of him, and scolded her righteously.

A blush suddenly appeared on the pretty face of Widow Qing when she heard the words. She was a little ashamed of herself for thinking too much. She lowered her head, as if she wanted to bury her face in her huge body. She picked up the cup with both hands and took a small sip, her lips stained with tea. Appears more hydrated and smooth.

Luo Yan couldn't help but glance at it. On this scale, among the women he knew, only Zhao Ji and Madam Mingzhu could rival her.

Purple Girl and Frightened Salamander are comparable.

Yan Lingji's is not as big as theirs.

Ahem... I got distracted.

Luo Yan kept his serious look, picked up the tea cup without leaving any trace, and took a sip.

As a man of grace, looking is instinctive, and being tempted is appreciation. However, one must maintain a sense of propriety and do it wisely, and one cannot act like a hooligan hastily.

"I don't know what Taifu means. As long as the Ba family can do it, they will never refuse."

Widow Qing took a sip of tea, her mood calmed down a little, and she returned to her former self. Her beautiful eyes moved slightly, her long and upturned eyelashes trembled slightly, and her black and white eyes looked at Luo Yan sincerely and said.

Luo Yan's attitude has been made clear.

In business discussions, it was obvious that the other party's purpose was cooperation, not annexation, let alone interest in her.

She knew very well that this was an opportunity.

Whether it's for the Ba family or for himself, it's an opportunity to change his destiny.

"Salt and paper, are the Ba family interested?"

Luo Yan tapped the table with his fingers, looked at Widow Qing, and said slowly.

Widow Qing's heart beat faster, and she naturally understood the meaning of Luo Yan's words. Her little hand holding the tea cup tightened a little, and without any hesitation, she looked at Luo Yan and said in a deep voice: "Please speak frankly, Master." !”

"The method I created can produce paper in large quantities, and even contain tens of thousands of words in thin books. These are things that will be sold in the future, and the country's name will be on them. In addition, There are also salt and ironware, which will be controlled by the Qin State, responsible for pricing, where to sell them, etc.

These things all need to go through the hands of merchants, and Qin also needs merchants to circulate the supply of goods and even operate them.

Naturally, you will not suffer losses in terms of profits.

This is also the reason why I want to establish a chamber of commerce. Only merchants listed in the chamber of commerce can operate these businesses, and the rest will be sanctioned by the State of Qin.

In addition, Qin will continue to launch many products in the future.

Merchants are responsible for these things.

You should know what this means? "

Luo Yan spoke unhurriedly, and his words were vague but the meaning was clear.

Pretty Widow, would you like to be mine... no, become an imperial merchant.

From now on, the Ba family will serve the Qin State, not just lowly merchants.

"...I wonder what the Ba family has to pay!"

Widow Qing's breathing became a little faster after hearing this. She stared at Luo Yan closely with her beautiful eyes, pondered for a moment, and asked with suppressed emotion.

How could Widow Qing not be moved by this almost pie-in-the-sky thing, but after being moved, she was a little afraid and worried.

"Loyalty, loyalty to Qin."

Luo Yan looked at Widow Qing and said calmly: "From now on, your Ba family's business will be under the control of the Qin State. The Qin State will not interfere in the Ba family's management, nor will it covet the Ba family's business." That little wealth will even open up business routes for the Ba family, but similarly, the Ba family also needs to be loyal, and no matter what they do in the future, they must not harm the interests of Qin.

To put it simply, the Ba family and Qin will wear the same pants from now on.

Advance and retreat together. "

After saying that, Luo Yan took another sip of tea. The tea tasted okay and was very moist~

As for the benefits in the words, he believed that the pretty widow in front of him could not refuse it, nor could any businessman refuse it.

Even though he knew there might be a trap inside, compared to the trap, the huge benefits behind it were enough to make any businessman crazy.

Collusion between officials and businessmen occurs in every dynasty.

But collusion between the state and businessmen is rare, especially if it is done openly.

"The Ba family is naturally willing!"

This time, the pretty widow didn't hesitate and agreed directly, because speaking of this, it would be disrespectful for her not to agree.

What's more, the benefits offered by Luo Yan are hard to refuse.

Especially with the Qin State as a protective umbrella, this is what the Ba family needs most now. With this, the Ba family's industry can be preserved.

As for whether there will be risks in the future, that is something that needs to be considered in the future.

"Okay, that's it, I will stay soon. There are still some things that need to be dealt with. Soon, Xianyang City will hold a huge investment conference. The meaning is the same as what I said today. Before that, you, the Ba family, will be needed. Help spread the word.”

Luo Yan nodded, then stood up slowly and spoke softly.

Widow Qing obviously didn't expect Luo Yan to be so clean and tidy. She was slightly startled, and then quickly stood up, ignoring the wrinkled skirt, and stood up to say goodbye: "The civilian woman knows, but whether this matter..."

"Follow-up matters will be decided after the Chamber of Commerce is over. Some details still need to be discussed with the King and the Prime Minister. Just wait patiently."

Luo Yan knew Widow Qing's worries and said softly.

“Everything depends on Taifu’s arrangement.

Widow Qing heard the words, and there was a smile on her face, her eyes were a little brighter, and it seemed that a big stone fell in her heart.

"There's no need to send it off. There are differences between men and women. Stay here. As for the Ba family's affairs, they won't happen again after today."

Luo Yan humbly nodded slightly to Widow Qing, not forgetting to reassure her.

Then he turned around and took Li Si away without any nostalgia.

Widow Qing sent Luo Yan to the door, and watched Luo Yan go down the stairs with a slightly absentminded look. It had been a long time since she had felt such respect from others. This tutor, with his status, actually had such respect for a merchant widow like herself.

He is truly a gentleman.

"Madam, you have met a noble person."

The old housekeeper standing behind Widow Qing couldn't help but sigh.

I thought that it would be difficult for the Ba family to survive, and even if they could survive, their vitality would be severely damaged, but they never thought that they would meet someone like Luo Yan.

And also willing to give a chance.

"Grandpa Ba, this is the best opportunity for our Ba family, we must seize it!"

Widow Qing nodded fiercely and said in a deep voice.

"Old slave understands!"

Butler Ba nodded in response. He knew exactly what this time meant.

. . . . . . . . .

On the carriage.

Luo Yan looked at Li Si and said unhurriedly: "The Chamber of Commerce means the same thing. This is the general direction. You have to grasp it. I will discuss the details with the King and the Prime Minister. Then I will leave it to you to implement it. , the opportunity is given to you, it’s up to you whether you do well or not.”

"Li Si should do his best!"

Li Si's heartbeat slowed down a few beats, and then he quickly responded with his hands, a little excited.

"You decide what's appropriate, I allow you to accept bribes~"

Luo Yan nodded, not forgetting to tap at the same time.

Li Si was stunned for a moment, then understood and quickly responded: "No!"

Smart people communicate well.

Luo Yan half-squinted his eyes and couldn't help but think about it.
