Great Zhou Tianzi

None of the girls was brought along, only the three brothers from the Xiong family. Ji Jie was well aware of the importance of this mission, but he left the girls in Zhaocheng.

The road to Qin State was smooth, and they went there as merchants from Lu State. At this time, Lu State had been destroyed by Chu State, but the merchants still regarded themselves as Lu merchants.

The state of Qin reformed from Shang Yang and rewarded farming and commercial activities. Due to its inconvenient transportation in the southwest and the blockade imposed by the six kingdoms of Shandong, it has always attached importance to the exchanges of merchants. The four of Ji Jie were able to pass the border smoothly and go deep into the its environment.

Based on various sources, King Qin did not intend to destroy Qinqing's business company, but to replace it. If such a large business empire is destroyed, it will cause a fatal blow to Qin's economy, precisely because of this. , King Qin ordered Lu Buwei, who was also a businessman, to take full responsibility.

Lu Buwei and Qin Qing have a good personal relationship, but the king's order is hard to disobey. If he hadn't moved a little compassion, Qin Qing would have no room to resist. As long as Lu Buwei gives an order, all Qin's trading companies can be closed down within a day , and then take over.

Lu Buwei made an excuse and told the King of Qin that rash actions would cause commercial turmoil. In case profiteers drive up prices at that time, it will cause people to live in dire straits. It is safer to infiltrate slowly and then take over.

The king of Qin accepted Lu Buwei's suggestion, and Lu Buwei also notified Qin Qing to transfer the materials immediately, so as not to lose money and goods.

However, Qin Qing's family has a big business, so it can be said that it is transferred. Besides, from the very beginning, the King of Qin sent people to monitor all the activities of her and the business company. Small actions are useless. Big moves can only make King Qin speed up the pace of dealing with her. , this is really a dilemma.

Ji Jie sneaked into Qin State quietly, without notifying Qin Qing in advance, and did not go to find her directly after arriving in Xianyang, but first visited Xiangguo Lu Buwei.

There is no need to be polite when meeting acquaintances.

Lu Buwei didn't hide anything, and told him the original strategy of King Qin, and at the same time said that he was helpless in this matter.

"So, King Qin is determined to embarrass Qin's business company." Ji Jie said unwillingly: "Is there really no way to save it?"

"It's hard!" Lu Buwei said: "Actually, this is not the first time King Qin wanted to attack the Qin family. The former king almost did it when he was alive. Your Majesty, it was used for the huge expenditure of the army. The former king thought that since he had spent all the money and achieved his goal, it would be meaningless to take back Qin’s management rights, in case his own business was not good. , I won’t get any money in the future, so it’s better to let people continue to manage it, and the annual tax revenue is also very considerable! But it’s not working now, Qin Qing has come forward many times for you, and the king no longer trusts her!”

Ji Jie smiled helplessly, but he didn't expect that the culprit was himself, and even Lu Buwei couldn't speak, so what else could he do?

Leaving Lu's Mansion, he went straight to Qin's Mansion.

Qin Qing's mansion is very different from what Ji Jie imagined. Normally, the mansions of wealthy merchants and rich merchants are grand and imposing, for fear that others will not know that there are rich people living in them, but Qin Qing's house is not the case. It is only six or seven feet wide, the porch is slightly mottled, and the stone lion in front of the door is only half a person high, no different from ordinary wealthy households.

"Your Majesty, didn't we go to the wrong door?" Xiong Ben said to Ji Jie who was in the carriage, "Anyone who does business on Zhaocheng Street has a better family background than this!"

"It shouldn't be wrong!" Ji Jie opened the door curtain and jumped off the carriage, saying: "The real rich don't care about other people's eyes, go up and ask, and send a greeting card if you are right!"

"Yes!"

The gatekeeper received the greeting card with a disapproving expression on his face, thinking that there are many people who want to see our master, but I have never seen anyone who can step into the humble gate.

"Brother, please tell your master!"

The boy originally wanted to persuade them to turn around, but then he thought about how polite they are, so he went in and told them that no matter what, he couldn't break the etiquette, so as to save someone from chewing their tongues behind their backs.

As a result, something that surprised the boy happened.

Qin Qing is not in a good mood today, she is sitting in the garden in a daze.Seeing this, the servant almost retreated, took a deep breath, and then handed over the post, so nervous that he didn't even say a word.

Qin Qing took it subconsciously, opened it and only glanced at it, her beautiful eyes widened immediately, and she quickly read it carefully, that's right, the words Zhaowenjun Jijie were written on it.

Qin Qing stood up a little excitedly, and asked, "Where are the people coming, and the leader is a man around 20 years old?"

"Yes, it's a handsome young master, he's at... the gate..."

"Please come in quickly... No, I will greet you personally... Go, let someone make tea, make the best tea, and prepare the dishes and meals..." Qin Qing was a little incoherent, and trot away with two long legs .

Don't look at the young man, but he is an old man in the Qin Mansion. He has never seen anyone who can make the master pay so much attention. Even if Lu Buwei or King Qin came, Qin Qing would just wait in the living room. I never went out to greet him in person.

Whether to order tea first, or to order the kitchen to prepare meals first, the servant was in trouble.

At the gate, a pink figure rushed towards him. Ji Jie naturally opened his arms, welcoming Qin Qing's arrival with a smile.

Qin Qing threw herself into Ji Jie's arms, and he smiled and said, "Sister Qing, you are so enthusiastic!"

In a word, Qin Qing blushed a lot. Although the relationship between the two of them was not the usual sibling relationship, they treated each other with courtesy every time they met. There was never any skin-to-skin contact. together.

The three Xiong brothers turned their heads cooperatively, pretending that I had never seen anything.

Qin Qing took a step back, but couldn't break free from the little hand held by Ji Jie, her pretty face was so red that water dripped out, she didn't know why she was so excited when she saw him, you know, she has always been called "Ji Jie" by the world. What about Stone Girl!

"Brother, why are you here?" Qin Qing asked while dragging Ji Jie in, who made Ji Jie refuse to let go.

"Hehe, I heard that my sister is in trouble, how can I ignore it!" Ji Jie said with a smile: "I came all the way without stopping, and now I am hungry and tired, you have to treat me well!"

"Don't worry, I've already asked someone to prepare meals!" Qin Qing tried twice more, but still couldn't break free, so she simply stopped trying, letting her little hand be firmly grasped by him.

The three brothers of the Xiong family walked in carelessly, for fear that others would not know their relationship with Ji Jie and Qin Qing.
