Traveling through the divine eagle: the first sword of Quanzhen

Chapter 362 The Deceitful Su Yuan

"For one thing, my husband grew up in Zhongnan Mountain since he was a child. He knows the topography and landforms around Zhongnan Mountain very well, and he has the relationship with the Quanzhen Sect. I will share some of the proceeds with my masters and uncles and let them help take care of them. The safest place, besides, ordinary people in ancient tombs will not go there to seek bad luck. Therefore, it is the safest place as a storage and transfer point." Li Qingwei continued to "nonsense".

At this time, Su Yuan was also dubious. Seeing that his wife hadn't completely cleared up her doubts, Li Qingwei asked Tang Lan at this time: "Miss Tang, brother Zhuge, what do you plan to do with this batch of goods? And the payment owed to you Tangmen, I Can I return it later?"

Tang Lan said: "This! This batch of goods arrived safely under the escort of my bodyguard from the Tang Sect. My brother-in-law is in charge of storing the goods, and my brother-in-law has already used the 'money' from 'this transaction' to pay off what you owe. Tang Sect’s arrears, and my brother-in-law continues to place additional ‘orders’ to our Tang Sect. After that, our Tangjiabao will continue to supply.”

"As long as we cooperate sincerely, we will definitely make a lot of money."

At this time, Su Yuan asked, "Who did you sell your things to?"

Li Qingwei said at this time: "Well, the things transported from Bashu in the Song Dynasty were naturally sold to the Great Mongol Empire. My wife also knew about the Great Mongol Kingdom's competition for Khan's position before. My husband found a business opportunity from it. I can Take advantage of the contradictions between several khans to make a lot of money."

Su Yuan asked: "Husband, you are the son of ten thousand households in the Great Mongol Empire. You have a wealth of wealth that you can enjoy for several lifetimes. Why do you need to be a smuggler? You have been a smuggler since ancient times."

"Your husband is a nobleman, the best among scholars, why bother to give up what you have to do? Could it be that you don't have enough money for your wife?"

Li Qing shook his head slightly and said: "Of course not. I did this for my husband mainly for the cause of my great Mongolian country, and even more for the Li family. Now Alibu Khan and Kublai Khan are competing for the position of Great Khan. Now the swords are on the verge, and the army under Khan Ali Bakkhan is not as good as that under Khan Kublai Khan."

"Now Kublai Khan is staring at my Li family, so we can only rely on Ali Buge Khan. So I transferred some supplies from the Song Dynasty for my husband. Firstly, it will weaken the strength of the Song people, and secondly, it will help me. The Mongolian army, who come here three times and can still make huge profits from it, why not do it?"

Although Su Yuan didn't know much about the affairs in the court, she now knew one thing, which was the conflicts within the Mongolian Empire.

Now beside him is the confrontation between General Tuolichi and Kublai Khan's partial divisions around Luoyang.

Although Su Yuan's father was inclined towards Kublai Khan, his uncle Wang Ping and father-in-law Li Qinglong were now on the side of Mengge Khan.

After all, Brother Ali Bukhan is loyal to Khan Mengge, and Guanzhong is the sphere of influence of the two brothers Mengge. Uncle Wang Ping, as the garrison of Chang'an City, must stand on the side of Brother Mengge.

But now the "father" Li Qinglong was hated by Kublai Khan because he stood on the side of Queen Naimazhen, so he could only unite with the Mengge Khan brothers.

Su Yuan is a woman, and she only has a half-knowledge about these things in court.

Although she didn't want her husband to get too involved in these dangerous things, there was no other way after all.

Su Yuan said at this time: "So, all my husband's things were sold to Brother Ali Bu Khan?"

Li Qingwei shook his head at this time and said: "Of course not, I contacted other businessmen for my husband, and then asked these people to act as middlemen to buy and sell this batch of supplies. After all, this is smuggling and violates the law. It’s not so easy to find me.”

"Compared to my crimes, Miss Tang and Brother Zhuge are much more dangerous. At most, I am smuggling and making huge profits. Even if I am found out, with my father's right to speak with Queen Naimazhen, I am afraid it will be nothing. That's it. But Miss Tang is different from Brother Zhuge, they are both from the Song Dynasty, and if they came into contact with me, a Mongolian prince, it would be considered collaborating with the enemy."

"And they also transported supplies to our territory for sale. This is not just collaborating with the enemy, but treason."

Tang Lan continued to talk at this time and said: "What are you afraid of? My Tang family has made a fortune by trading in military supplies, not to mention that we are the producers of military supplies. As for who got these supplies and what they did, I, Tangjiabao, don't care too much, as long as the guests can pay on time."

"Besides, the profit from transshipping this batch of materials from Song Dynasty to Mongolia is more than ten times. Even if you risk beheading, it is not terrible."

After Su Yuan listened to the conversation between Li Qingwei and Tang Lan, she was finally fooled by the two people's "singing together".

Tang Lan was hesitant before, and she completely cleared her doubts. After all, this kind of thing "lost her head", and it is normal for Tang Lan to be strict with her mouth.

Although Su Yuan still had some objections to Li Qingwei doing such a "dangerous" thing, she didn't have any good excuses to stop Li Qingwei.

After all, Li Qingwei elaborated the benefits of "smuggling" from the three aspects of "for the country, for the family, and for himself".

"For the country", the transshipment of materials from the Song Dynasty has indeed weakened the strength of the Song Dynasty to a certain extent.

"For the family", entrusting other businessmen to sell supplies to Brother Ali's forces, but to strengthen their backing, and then suppress Kublai Khan who is now "surrounding" Luoyang.

"For oneself", this is the best to understand, just now Su Yuan also read this account book, there is a lot of money in it, the total amount of gold and silver is over one million taels.

After Su Yuan looked at the ledger and the map again, she said, "Husband, it's better to be more careful when doing this kind of thing in the future. As a wife, I still don't agree with you doing such a dangerous thing. Raising a foreigner on weekdays House, how many more wives and concubines, as for these wives, I will not blame my husband, but this kind of thing is too dangerous, as a wife, I still have to remind my husband."

Li Qingwei said at this time: "Well, my husband knows about it. Now Song Meng is at war again. Even if I want to do this kind of business, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it in the future. Madam, don't worry!"

Su Yuan nodded silently after listening, and she said: "Well! Husband is no longer the fourteen or fifteen-year-old child. Husband knows it in his own mind. When he returns, there are distinguished guests visiting, so I will go to prepare a dinner for my wife. .”

At this time Tang Lan stood up and said, "Then there will be Mrs. Lao."

Su Yuan bowed to Tang Lan in a gentle manner and then left.

After Su Yuan left, Tang Lan said: "It's no wonder you rejected the marriage my father arranged for you and me. It's no wonder that there is such a beautiful wife in the family. If I were a man, I'm afraid I would be preoccupied with her. Beautiful, gentle tempered, and so virtuous, what more could a husband ask for than a wife like this."
