    Chapter 782 Two Giant Dragons Jin'an has been broken and Dali is close at hand.  Fang Jie visited Dali ten years ago and hid there for a long time. Dali City still has a deep impression in his mind.  At that time, Dali City was just a hiding place for Fang Jie to avoid being hunted. Now for him, it seems that it only has strategic significance after the death of Big Dog.  He really planned to destroy Nan Yan, and then take back the status that Murong Shai had taken away and give it to Da Quan as a gift.  Could it be that the sadness in the big dog's eyes when he was huddled in the firewood pile and basking in the sun was because the country was ruined and the family was destroyed?  After staying in Jin'an for a few days, Ning Hao, the lord of Jin'an City, and his family went to Yongzhou under the protection of two hundred soldiers of the Black Flag Army. This city was marked on the map of the Black Flag Army and became a cornerstone of Fangjie's southwest foundation.  In fact, many people are saying that Fang Jie's luck is really good. The reason why he got rich coincided with Luo Yao's good opportunity to go north to the southwest.  People who say this have never thought about it, would they be able to succeed if it were them?  This opportunity was not given to Fang Jie, but snatched by Fang Jie himself.  Under the circumstances, who besides Fang Jie would dare to cause trouble behind Luo Yao?  The people who say Fang Jie is lucky now are the same people who ridiculed Fang Jie for not overestimating his own abilities at that time.  Luo Yao had been powerful for thirty years. Even if he left the southwest, no one would dare to lead troops into his backyard.  Only Fang Jie, seemingly reckless and hasty, rushed in with his troops.  At that time, many people were waiting to watch the show, waiting for Luo Yao to crush Fang Jie's tens of thousands of people into powder in a rage.  But they were disappointed, Luo Yao had no intention of returning to the army.  Even after Luo Yao's defeat, many people were still saying, look, Luo Tu will definitely take the southwest back. After all, Luo Tu still has hundreds of thousands of elites in his hands.  But they were disappointed again. Luo Tu did not return to the southwest. Instead, he crossed the Yangtze River and entered the south of the Yangtze River to join forces with the people of Tonggu Academy.  It was only at this time that people exclaimed, oh my, such a good piece of land was snatched away by that young boy named Fang Jie.  The southwest is the most suitable place for raising troops. Why didn't I go there in the first place? If I had gone, what would have happened?  If he had gone there by himself, Fang Jie wouldn't even be considered a piece of shit.  "It feels disgusting to regret it like this.  In fact, it was precisely because Fang Jie led the troops that he could gain a firm foothold in the southwest. If it had been anyone else, no one could have done it.  That's because Luo Yao didn't take Fang Jie into his eyes at that time. He just regarded Fang Jie as another body of his own that could be taken away at any time.  So he wanted Fang Jie alive, and he also didn't think Fang Jie could conquer much of the southwest with his tens of thousands of exhausted troops.  Now, this little man who was looked down upon by all forces has truly become a hero.  At this time, people suddenly woke up when talking about the powerful people in the Central Plains. Unknowingly, Fang Jie had become an existence on an equal footing with those big families and powerful forces.  Even when Fang Jie is mentioned, his name is ranked ahead of Jin Shixiong, Gao Kaitai, and Wang Yiqu from the northwest, and he is on an equal footing with Mu Mansion from the northeast and Tonggu from the south of the Yangtze River!  Therefore, many people are unconvinced and even resentful.  Dongjiang Muping City Muping City is a very important city in the Eastern Border of the Sui Dynasty. It is only a hundred miles away from the Phoenix Terrace in the northeast of the Sui Frontier. It is the first supply station for Dongchu merchants after entering the Sui Dynasty, and the business is prosperous.  Even compared to Chang'an, the level is not inferior.  Especially after the civil strife in the Sui Dynasty, many merchants from Dong Chu did not dare to enter the war zone easily, so they chose to stop at Muping City and wait for the merchants from the Sui Dynasty to pick up their goods in Muping.  As a result, Muping City became even more prosperous.  The business of the Great Sui Dynasty gradually regained some vitality after experiencing the stranding during the initial period of the imperial war.  After all, businessmen still have to live, and they have to continue to make money to support their families.  Mu Ping has suddenly become the most important link in Sui Dynasty business.  Every day, a large number of merchants come from all over the country, take away a dazzling array of goods from the Dongchu merchants, and then evacuate back to various places.  Among the countless merchants, those who sold their goods throughout the Sui Dynasty were the most popular and respected by the people of Eastern Chu.  Because the people of Dongchu know very well that in this war-torn period, only large-scale trading houses can guarantee long-term cooperation.  Only such a powerful trading house can ensure the smoothness of transactions to the greatest extent.  Zuo Mingchan has been in Mouping for a while, and is still waiting for a reply from the General's Mansion.  He was the leader of the first group of people sent by Fang Jie to Eastern Xinjiang. He asked to see General Yang Shunhui on Fang Jie's order.  Fang Jie's autograph letter had been given to Yang Shunhui a long time ago, but the man's promised autograph reply has not yet been received.  When Yang Jian led his army to fight Luo Yao in Gyeonggi Province, the auxiliary minister appointed by the Empress of the Sui Dynasty brought the two new guards with him.Jian's soldiers fled Chang'an and ran to Eastern Xinjiang in one breath.  The Iron Armored Army is invincible, but it is not easy to catch up with Yang Shunhui. Besides, where does Yang Jian have time to pay attention to Yang Shunhui?  It was also at this time that people were shocked to realize that Yang Shunhui had such a close relationship with Mu Mansion in the Northeast. If not, how could the people of Mu Mansion allow Yang Shunhui's troops to enter Muping? This is equivalent to destroying this commercial city with huge financial resources.  Gave it to Yang Shunhui.  However, this is not a bad thing for the merchants of the Sui Dynasty. With these two guards stationed there, the merchants of the Sui Dynasty are more confident. Those Dongchu merchants who took advantage of the civil strife in the Sui Dynasty to raise prices indiscriminately  It has also restrained itself a lot.  In Muping, Huotongtianxiaxing has a special shop for contacting Dongchu merchants.  When doing business, goods are sold all over the world. There is no need to chase after Dongchu merchants for goods. Instead, people will take the initiative to deliver whatever you need, and the price will definitely be cheaper than leaving it to other trading houses.  Because other trading houses have no way to compare with Huotong Tianxiaxing in terms of volume of cargo.  Zuo Mingchan sat on the window seat, looking at the busy street outside with a gloomy expression.  It's been so long, but there's still no reply from the General's Mansion.  There is news that the second messenger sent by the lord is almost at Mouping, and the third messenger is already on the way, which shows that the lord attaches great importance to this matter.  In contrast, Yang Shunhui turned a deaf ear to the matter.  "Something's not right recently." Zhou Mingli, the big shopkeeper in charge of Muping's affairs at Huotong Tianxing, looked outside and frowned. His words pulled Zuo Mingchan out of his thoughts.  "What's wrong?" he asked.  "Those Dongchu merchants have been a little abnormal recently, and the market has also been a little abnormal." Zhou Mingli sat down and said: "Recently, the number of Dongchu merchants delivering goods to Hutongtianxiaxing has decreased by at least 30%. I sent someone to inquire and found out  The goods on the market were taken away at prices that were at least 40% to 50% higher, and the volume of purchases was so large that, in addition to our old merchants, many Dongchu people sold their goods to those people.  Success?" Zuo Mingchan was stunned for a moment: "Although I don't understand business, I also know that it is taboo to receive goods at a high price in such troubled times. No one knows whether the goods will be sold at a higher price, let alone  I know if the goods can be sent back safely. In the past, bold bandits intercepted merchants to snatch goods. Now some governments secretly send troops to snatch goods. At this time, who will raise the purchase price by half? " He paused and said: "  What's more, I'm obviously not afraid of offending Huotong Tianxiaxing. "I have to check, I always feel that things are not that simple." Zhou Mingli murmured.  "I'll send someone there." Zuo Mingchan said, "It would be easier for our riders from the Riding School to investigate these matters." Zhou Mingli nodded: "By the way, Yang Shunhui hasn't replied yet?" "No"  Zuo Mingchan shook his head, with some anger in his eyes: "These people are too short-sighted. Our Black Flag Army is in the southwest, so they think they don't have to worry about itsooner or later they will suffer." ?¡­ ?¡­ ?General Mouping  Yang Shunhui looked at the ten large boxes filled with gold in the living room, his eyes twinkling.  These golds were not the standard gold ingots issued by the Household Department of the Great Sui Dynasty, but gold coins. The color seemed to be purer. When the box was opened, the whole room was filled with golden light.  Four strong men laboriously carried each box in, which shows how heavy the box is.  A foreigner with blond hair and blue eyes looked at Yang Shunhui with a smile, as if waiting for something.  "I don't know your Grand Duke Hullens" Yang Shun would look away from the ten large boxes, glanced at the foreigner and asked: "Why did he send me such a big gift?"  "That's it" The foreigner nodded slightly and said: "My name is Peter, and I have been appointed by Archduke Hullens to meet with the general. These gifts can only represent a small part of the respect that Archduke Hullens has for you, because respect is incomparable.  It¡¯s really measured in money. However, just because I respect you, I won¡¯t beat around the bush.¡± He smiled and said, ¡°The great general should also know that the great Opuru Empire incorporated the original Principality of Ross into the empire.  Territory, because war will cause damage, so the first thing to do after the war is to recover, and the best way to quickly restore a country's strength is to develop business. The Principality of Ross has become a thing of the past, and the current Principality of Hullens hopes.  Established good trade relations with the Great Sui Dynasty, but in fact, there was a very cruel exploitation between the Great Sui Dynasty and Hullens County.between.  " Peter said: "That's the Dongchu people. Those cunning and greedy Dongchu people will increase the price of goods indefinitely, purchase goods from us at low prices, and then sell them to Sui Dynasty at high prices.  Whether it is the Principality of Hullens or the Sui Dynasty, they are actually victims.  Archduke Hullens asked me to come to see the general with his sincerity in order to convey his eagerness to establish direct trade relations with the Sui Dynasty.  " "The Sui Dynasty is a powerful country in the world, as powerful as the Aupulu Empire. However, such two powerful empires have been taken away from the interests that belong to you and me by a weak Dongchu. What can be more annoying than this?  of?  What Grand Duke Hullens meant was that if the Great Sui Dynasty could trade directly with the Duke of Hullens, both would gain huge benefits.  " "How wonderful it would be for us to save the Dongchu people?  "Of course" Peter smiled and said, "We are businessmen, so we naturally have to consider our interests."  This gold is actually very difficult for us to collect because the Principality of Hullens is still recovering.  But we think this gift to you is still a little light. Please forgive us for not being able to give you something more valuable right now.  But please believe that if we establish trade relations, you will get more and more, and we will get more and more, far more than the gold filled in these ten boxes.  " Yang Shunhui frowned and did not answer immediately. "The Great Sui Dynasty has always been a person from Dong Chu who does business. If we directly trade with you and bypass Dong Chu, it will not be a good thing for the diplomatic relations between the two countries.  This is not just a business matter, but also involves relations with allies.  " Dong An, the staff member standing behind Yang Shunhui, said. "Yes" Peter said: "There is no doubt about it, but why do you regret losing a weak ally and gaining a strong ally?  I firmly believe that if the Sui Dynasty and the Opulu Empire become good friends, then this world will be the world of the two countries. As for Dongchu, it is just an inconspicuous little insect, while the Sui Dynasty and the Opulu Empire are both wandering  Dragon in the sky.  One in the east and one in the west, ruling the whole world.  " Peter smiled: "What's more the Great Sui and Dong Chu have never seemed to be allies, and the people of Eastern Chu have never had much respect for the Great Sui.  And we are full of the most sincere respect for Sui Dynasty.  " "What does Archduke Hullens want me to do?  " Yang Shunhui asked. "I think" Peter smiled and said: "Allow merchants from the Principality of Hurons to enter the Sui Dynasty. It's that simple. As for other things, we will solve it ourselves.  "
