Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 288 The Future King of Sogdia

The banquet at Kang Jinshan's house didn't end until late at night, so Zhang Zhao carefully inspected the two leaders of Sogdian in Liangzhou.

Cao Wantong is exquisite in all aspects, and Cao Wan's business is spread all over Hexi, and even Qinzhou, Weizhou, Longzhou and the western capital Jingzhaofu (Chang'an) have his family's business.

As for Kang Jinshan, his wrist and vision are a bit worse than Cao Wantong's, his face is not as thick as Cao Wantong's, and his business is not so big.

But there is one business that most attracts Zhang Zhao and the Kang Jinshan family, mainly in Shankuo Lianzhou and the Qingtang Plateau where Xihai (Qinghai Lake) and Dafeichuan are located.

This area is the place with the most people in Gamo. If Zhang Zhao wants to win the hearts of Gamo and Tubo people in the whole Hehuang Valley and even Dafeichuan, there must be a place for Kang Jinshan.

Moreover, Zhang Zhao offered to have a banquet at Kang Jinshan's house today, and he also came with a purpose.

When Zhang Liecheng entered Liangzhou City and met with members of the Sogdian Chamber of Commerce, he once said that Zhang Zhao was willing to license the white sugar and rock sugar in his hands to the Sogdian Chamber of Commerce.

The reason why it is called franchising means that what Zhang Zhao provides is goods, not technology, but in this way, Zhang Zhao must be responsible for the production of white sugar and rock sugar.

For this reason, Zhang Fawang lost several strands of his hair, because there were people under him who engaged in intrigues and tricks, and there were more warriors who killed people, but there were almost no businessmen.

At present, it is Mrs. Cao who is helping Zhang Zhao to master this area. After entering Liangzhou City, Mrs. Cao is still running outside.

But this is also an expedient measure, because Mrs. Cao San is not very familiar with this set, and there is no way to be forced to take over.

What's more terrible is that the trump card in Zhang Zhao's hand is not just sugar, it should be sugar, tea bricks and cotton.

These three things are Zhang Zhao's cash cows, and Mrs. Cao can't control them, let alone talk about them, and it's not good to let too many people around her go deep into them.

People are selfish, if the third lady does something bad, what will Zhang Zhao do?Can he really send Mrs. Cao San to Caishikou to be stabbed?

So King Zhang Fa, who lost several strands of his hair because of this matter, thought of a group, that is, the Sogdians, to be more precise, the Sogdians of Liangzhou.

Zhang Zhao plans to set up a yamen in Liangzhou that is responsible for the production of sugar, tea, cotton, etc. Of course, this yamen is responsible for keeping the secrets of the three production processes and updating the technology.

And these Sogdian people are very suitable for this. Of course, Zhang Zhao can't throw the franchise and the "state-owned enterprise" that produces sugar tea cotton to the Sogdian Chamber of Commerce.

In this case, franchising and secrecy would become empty talk. Zhang Zhao chose Kang Jinshan to run this 'state-owned enterprise'. The premise was that Kang Jinshan had to withdraw from the Sogdian Chamber of Commerce.

"I heard that Kang Dutou has two daughters, both of whom have reached the age of Ji, and I happen to have two sons who are a good match. I wonder if Kang Dutou is willing to be a son and daughter with a certain family?"

Zhang Zhao asked softly with a smile, but Kang Jinshan was taken aback. He knew that today's banquet must have a deep meaning, and he also thought that if Zhang Zhao wanted to win him over, reaching an in-law relationship would be the most direct way.

It's just that he thought it was Zhang Zhao who wanted to take in one or two of his daughters, so Kang Jinshan called out the third and fourth daughters of his family to perform dances, but he never expected that Zhang Zhao wanted to have sex with him. relatives by marriage.

"Please look at the head, a certain adopted son Zhang Liecheng is the same as you. He is a member of the nine surnames of Zhaowu. He is of the same family. He is also brave and has repeatedly made military exploits. He is a rare good boy. Isn't it a match made in heaven?"

Zhang Zhao patted Zhang Liecheng on the shoulder and laughed and said, of course he would not accept Kang Jinshan's daughter, if Kang Jinshan became one of his many father-in-laws, wouldn't it be the same as Mrs. Cao San taking care of this mess?
It's really going to be a crime, and it's not easy to deal with, and if he doesn't accept Kang Jinshan's daughter, then he is just the father-in-law of his adopted son, and killing him will not be so tricky and tangled.

Zhang Liecheng had received Zhang Zhao's orders a long time ago, and when the third lady of Kang Jinshan's family performed a dance, he would just stare at her.

Of course there is no mention of appearance, Tingting is curvaceous, like a lotus, and Kang Jinshan's family is also the head of the clan. Although the status is not good, the dowry must be rich.

And if Zhang Liecheng hadn't fallen into Zhang Zhao's eyes by chance, he might still be a shepherd boy. Now that he can marry the daughter of the Great Jia family in Sogdia, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?

Kang Jinshan also took a few glances at Zhang Liecheng. Although this kid came from a low family background, his appearance was passable.

Coupled with Zhang Jun's identity as the adopted son and his horsemanship at a young age, he is now the general of Zhang Zhao's personal defense of Regret Mountain Capital, and his future can be said to be limitless.

Thinking of this, Kang Jinshan nodded in satisfaction, and then bowed his hands to Zhang Zhaoyi.

"It's great that the military envoy is the matchmaker in person, and he is also the adopted son of the military envoy. He is handsome and heroic. Kang can't ask for more!"

"Hahaha! Good! From today onwards, Kang Dutou and a certain family are a family." As he spoke, Zhang Zhao lightly tapped Zhang Liecheng on the head.

"Aren't you going out to meet Master Taishan?"

Zhang Liecheng immediately rolled out, "I pay my respects to Master Taishan!"

Kang Jinshan also ran out quickly to help Zhang Liecheng up. As for Mrs. Kang San who had just performed the dance, she was not shy at all. She stood next to her father with her head lowered and kept peeking at Zhang Liecheng, looking quite satisfied.

Zhang Zhao turned his head slightly, and found that Murong Nobunaga's eyes were still looking at Fourth Lady Kang who was behind Third Lady Kang.

Zhang Zhao picked up the wine glass, took Murong Xinchang's hand, and brought him in front of Kang Jinshan.

"Kang Weng, as the saying goes, good things come in pairs, what do you think of this heroic young man in front of you?"

Kang Jinshan immediately looked at Nobunaga Murong for a moment. In terms of appearance, this kid is more handsome than Zhang Zhao.

After all, based on the appearance of his mother, Mrs. Cao San, Murong Nobunaga could not be ugly, and his reputation as a young general in white robes by the Dabei River added a lot of brilliance to him.

"Could this be the young general in white robe who shot and killed Yao Ge Luo Tongli by the Dabei River?"

Zhang Zhao had only been in Liangzhou for a short time, and Kang Jinshan didn't know Murong Xinchang very well, he only knew that he was shooting and killing the brave general of Yao Ge Luotongli by the Dabei River in Suzhou.

"Of course!" Zhang Zhao said and had a drink with Kang Jinshan.

"It's just so that Kang Weng can know that this son is named Murong Nobunaga, and he was born in the Murong family of the Tuyuhun royal family. He is not only a brave general under a certain command, but also a good son of a certain one!"

Murong Xinchang blushed, and for the first time did not refute Zhang Zhao's calling him so, Kang Jinshan suddenly realized that he knew who the person in front of him was, and this was Zhang Junshi's 'true' son.

"The eldest son of a certain Guanxin is very close to the fourth wife of Kang Weng's family. I don't know if I can let him two be companions?"

Zhang Zhao said this in a rather tactful way, what kind of company was he, he was just asking, Kang Jinshan was reluctant to give Kang Siniang to Murong Nobunaga as his concubine.

Will Kang Jinshan agree to let the fourth daughter be a concubine?If it was an ordinary person, Kang Jinshan would definitely not agree, but facing Murong Nobunaga, he immediately agreed.

Because his fourth daughter is different from his third daughter, the third daughter is born of his wife, and the fourth daughter is born of a concubine.

A concubine would not be able to marry a well-matched family to be a regular wife. The best choice is to be used by Kang Jinshan to marry a talented person of humble background under his command.

But in the face of Murong Nobunaga, being a concubine is actually a good choice.

We must know that Murong Xinchang is not only Zhang Zhao's stepson, he is also the eldest grandson of Guazhou Governor Murong Guiying, he is also from the Tuyuhun royal family, and he is also the future general of the Guiyi Army.

With such a background and status, it is very unlikely that Mrs. Kang San will marry Murong Nobunaga as his wife, let alone Si Niang. Now that Murong Nobunaga is not yet married, it is also very good to be a good concubine .

Cao Wantong was envious, but only a little.

Zhang Liecheng's background is too low, and his adoptive father Zhang Junshi is not much older than him, so he will probably be a hard worker for the rest of his life in the future.

Murong Nobunaga comes from a high background and has a good future, but it is a pity that Kang Siniang cannot be his regular wife.

However, Zhang Zhao's next sentence immediately washed Cao Wantong into envy and vomited three catties of acid water.

"Kang Weng, XX is going to set up a merchant today, which will be responsible for the production of white sugar, rock sugar, tea bricks and cotton.

The Sogdian Chamber of Commerce licensed the right to operate two commodities, sugar and tea bricks, and Shang Cao would be responsible for organizing and supplying them.

If Kang Weng is willing to hand over the Kang family's business, this Shang Cao joins the army, and I very much hope that Kang Weng will take over. "

Cao Wantong was dumbfounded, and Kang Jinshan was also stunned, but immediately he was dizzy with a burst of ecstasy. After thinking about it for more than ten seconds, Kang Jinshan knelt down on his knees facing Zhang Zhao.

"Xiaguan Kang Jinshan is willing to hand over all the business of the Kang family to serve the military envoy!"

"Join the army, please hurry up, we are all one family, Shang Cao is newly established, and you can discuss everything with Judge Cao when you join the army!"

Zhang Zhao pulled Kang Jinshan up and introduced Cao Yanlu behind him to Kang Jinshan.

As Cao Sanniang's younger brother, Cao Nineniang's older brother, and Zhang Zhao's cousin-in-law, Cao Yanlu also came to Liangzhou recently.

Because Guasha Erzhou had become more depressed since Zhang Zhao left, Cao Yanlu was unwilling to be idle and wanted to do something big, so he came to Liangzhou.

Zhang Zhao immediately appointed Cao Yanlu as the governor of Hexi Jiedu. In addition to Cao Shisi and Cao Yanming, Cao Liulang and Cao Yanlu were one of the few Cao family members Zhang Zhao could trust.

Kang Jinshan knew that this was Zhang Zhao's brother-in-law, so he hurriedly greeted Cao Yanlu.

Over there, Cao Wantong rushed over eagerly. Now Kang Jinshan and Kang Mazi have developed, but Zhang Jun can't give him all the good jobs, right? I, old Cao, don't deserve it?

Zhang Zhao smiled lightly and winked at Cao Yanlu. Zhang Zhao appointed Cao Yanlu as Jiedu Tuiguan, but in fact there were only two tasks for him.

One is to supervise Kang Jinshan, and the other is to use the trade network of the Sogdians, and even the Sogdians in Hexi, Shuofang, and Daibei.

These Sogdian merchants spread all over the Northland, and they were the most suitable and effective source of intelligence information.

Zhang Zhao was going to recruit all the Sogdians in the northern kingdom to spy on him, spread rumors, alienate enemy generals, and even carry out an economic blockade.

The first step is to start with the Sogdians in Liangzhou. All Sogdians must join the Chamber of Commerce if they want to walk on the Silk Road in the future.

I am a big traveler, and I am going to add the title of King of Sogdia or Khan of Sogdia to my title.
