Aristocratic Concubine

Chapter 395 Women's Riding Clothes (1)
"Since my lord has come to the door, I naturally have some understanding of the situation in Longjing Town. My Chiyan clan has [-] people, but only occupies one-third of the land, while the Baishi clan has [-] people. However, it occupies two-thirds of the entire town. Our people live in poverty and are often bullied by the Baishi people. Previously, several governors and governors had been sitting on corpses. Suffering, the people of this clan have long been looking forward to a virtuous person to solve the crisis of the clan." The patriarch of the Chiyan clan said in a rare manner.

These words are full of flattery, and the previous governors were relegated. Shangguan Yeli was in a good mood when he heard it, and there was a slight smile on his stern face. In this world, the easiest way to get someone to do things is to catch him. The desires and desires of others, if there are desires, there will be weaknesses, and if there are weaknesses, you will not be afraid of being defeated. If you want to manage a place where different races live together, it is best to get to the focus of conflicts of all parties early, and then make good use of them, and then achieve mutual understanding. checks and balances.

"This governor does understand a little bit. It is for this reason that there are constant battles between the two ethnic groups. Therefore, this governor intends to do some practical things for Longjing Town and decides to re-divide the residential area according to the character. Today, I am looking for Chi Master Yan discussed it." Shangguan Yeli said with a smile.

Chi Yan felt his heart itch when he heard that, and a smile gradually came to his face. He has been the patriarch for more than ten years. When he first became the patriarch, he made a great wish to lead the clan to seize the land and let the clan live a prosperous life. But he has not been able to fulfill his wish. Naturally, some powerful leaders in the clan will not accept him. If he succeeds this time, his position in the clan will naturally be more stable, and his name will be on the list of meritorious deeds in the clan. People of later generations admire.

"Your Excellency is wise!" Chi Yan got up and said to Shangguan Yeli.

"However, you can't just listen to the people of your clan. In a few days, the governor plans to call a meeting with the chiefs of all clans to discuss the division of the land. I also ask Lord Chi Yan to be there." Shangguan Yeli said.

Didn't you say you want to discuss it?Why are we going to the meeting together again? There will be something good to discuss. Everyone is convened together, but it is just an endless quarrel with no results. Come to think of it, is it possible that this governor is the same as the previous ones, but just in a formality?Thinking about it this way, his face became ugly, but it was not good to offend him. He wanted to see off the guests when he was serving tea, but before his hand touched the cup, he heard the governor say again: "Actually, the governor also knows that the Baishi tribe occupies The largest one is the Bayan branch. The Bayan tribe has only [-] people, and it occupies the most prosperous east of Longjing Town. Moreover, it also occupies the entire Qingshi Market. It is Master Chiyan, do you want to repair the courtyard? For the wall, I have to ask the leader of Bayan, this time the governor wants Bayan to give up some territory to the Chiyan clan, but the Bayan clan has always been fierce, so I don't know if what the governor said will be useful."

Lord Chi Yan frowned when he heard Bayan's name, the eagerness in his eyes seemed to have dimmed a lot, and he seemed to be very afraid of the leader Bayan.

Seeing that he was silent, Shangguan Yeli was not in a hurry, picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and said seemingly unintentionally: "I went to the Bayan Mansion a few days ago, and talked about it with Lord Bayan. Master Bayan seems to be very interested in this business, if that business is completed, the status of the Bayan family in Longjing Town will not be low in the future, and they will become even richer."

Chi Yan was startled when he heard this, sparks sparkled in his eyes, what did the governor mean by saying this, was he demonstrating?For a moment, he was so angry that his back teeth itch, and he said in a deep voice, "I don't know what kind of business it is? Can the proud Master Bayan also be tempted?"

"In the clothes business, my wife heard that the nobles of Beirong were tired of wearing fox fur coats, so they made a new kind of light and generous cotton padded clothes, and wanted Mr. Bayan to sell them to Beirong. The governor has never been interested in these inner court affairs. I don't know what kind of material the clothes are made of, but they are really warm and light to wear, which should be very suitable for the people of Beirong."

Chi Yan met Wanqing once, and also saw the clothes worn by the dainty Mrs. Da Zhou. She didn't think much of it. Although Bei Rong had a strong military force, most of them imitated Da Zhou in terms of cultural and material life. The styles of clothes are all from the Great Zhou Dynasty, so it is not surprising that Mrs. Dudu wears new styles of clothes.

It's just a new style, people can imitate it after seeing it once, Bayan is really ridiculous, is this worth discussing with the Dudu's wife as a business?
"Lightweight and warm cotton padded clothes, have you seen Master Chi Yan in Longjing Town? A piece of clothing is only eight or two heavy, and after wearing it, you don't need to wear a fur coat. The female family members like it very much." Shangguan Yeli said again. Added a sentence lightly.

Chi Yan was stunned when he heard that, his eyes flashed and he said: "That is indeed a good thing, no wonder Lord Bayan wants to cooperate with Madam, but if this is the case, what is the meaning of Lord Bayan suing the lower officials now?"

Chi Yan asked straightforwardly, and Shangguan Yeli said: "Of course the governor doesn't want to favor one over the other. Since Mr. Bayan has a down jacket sales business, the bluestone mine business in Xiqi Mountain will naturally be distributed to Mr. Chi Yan, right?"

Chi Yan almost jumped up from his chair when he heard this, and said in amazement: "Xiqi Mountain has now belonged to Beirong, how can I get that ore?"

Shangguan Yeli narrowed his eyes after hearing this and said: "As far as I know, Longjing Town, which has been directly under the Da Zhou for a hundred years, has been directly under the Northern Rong Dynasty. How can such a good mine be built?" It is said that it belongs to Beirong, so it belongs to Beirong? The adult clan reproduces fast, and every year, a large amount of bluestone is needed to build new houses. Could it be that your clan used hard-earned hard-earned money to buy that for several times? How cheap are you, would you be willing?"

Of course I won't be willing!But……

Chi Yan didn't speak for a long while, and there was a trace of sadness and powerlessness on his always arrogant face.That's the aftermath of the war between the two countries. The Zhou army was useless. Let Bei Rong snatch the mine. What can he do as a small patriarch?Does he dare to resist a country with the power of a family?

"This time, Dazhou's 50 troops marched to the frontier in order to avenge their shame, regain the lost land, and drive the Beirong people back to the north of the Sevi River." Shangguan Yeli saw Lord Chi Yan's helplessness, Said very confidently.
