"Oh?" Zhao Yi asked hurriedly, "Lord, is it...?"

"If the White Wolf King left no room, it wouldn't just let people burn the city of Tang Dynasty." Yu Wencheng said: "The people who heard back reported that although the Wu Tuo cavalry set fire, they did not kill. The white shopkeeper was just killed by Wu. Tuobing took it away, but did not hurt his life."

Fat Yu immediately said: "Lord Young Master, it seems that although the White Wolf King is angry, he has not completely lost his mind, at least he has given him a chance to maneuver."

Yuwen Chengchao said: "Tangren City is a trading place. Merchants who go from east to west have brought so much benefit to the White Wolf King. He burns the trading place. If it is you, why would it be like this?"

"The trading field can bring huge benefits to the White Wolf tribe. Even if it is not for the individual, for the entire tribe, no matter how big things are, I will bear it." Fat fish sighed: "This fire is not just burning. The Chinese city has burned the hearts of those businessmen. Who would dare to continue trading there in the future?"

"Fatty Fatty is right this time." Zhao Yi immediately agreed: "It's me instead. Unless the people in Tangren City and I have the hatred of killing my father and taking my wife, why should I trouble them?"

"Tangren City is doing business. Who would offend the White Wolf King?" Dapeng frowned and said, "It is almost impossible to kill the father and seize the wife. And as far as I know, the white wolf king's kingship distance How can there be a direct conflict after one or two days of travel in Tangren City?"

Qin Xiao thought for a while, and finally said, "Lord, is it possible that the White Wolf King did like that?"

"I have no choice?" Yuwen Chengchao looked at Qin Xiao: "What do you say?"

"I don't know much about Tangren City." Qin Xiao said, "But I heard you say that Tangren City is too important to the White Wolf tribe. No matter how stupid the White Wolf King is, he will not break his arm. If he does this, he must For some reason, he even had to do this. In other words, if he didn't do this, it would cause more trouble to the White Wolf tribe, compared to the benefits brought by Tangren City." After a pause, he continued: "Although he did this, he didn't do anything wrong. He only set fire and didn't kill, leaving room for maneuver."

Yuwen Chengchao nodded and said: "Father's intention, the White Wolf King only arrested people, and the shopkeeper Bai was arrested. That meant that the Yuwen family would send someone to deal with this matter. Although I don't know what happened, White Wolf Wang’s room for maneuver should be left to Yuwen’s family. He knew that the treasurer Bai was from the Yuwen family. He deliberately took away the treasurer Bai. He hoped that the Yuwen family would send someone to explain clearly. If the matter can be properly resolved, yes. Both sides have benefits."

"You want to send someone to Wutuo?" Fat Yu's face tightened: "Lord, who is the old man going to send?"

"I!" Yuwen Chengchao said indifferently: "It's a big deal. If we just send someone at random, the White Wolf King might feel that our Yuwen family doesn't take this seriously, and even angers the White Wolf King because of this. It's not easy to clean up. I am the eldest son of Yuwen's family, and I will go there personally. At least it will make the White Wolf King feel that we value him."

Zhao Yi's expression also became solemn, and said, "Isn't Uncle Meng always in charge of the accounting affairs? Tangren City is a trade and it is related to accounting affairs. Why not let Uncle Meng go over and settle this time?"

"It's useless to say it now." Yuwen Chengchao said: "And Uncle Meng is just a relative of Yuwen family. Even if his father treats him very seriously, in the eyes of Wutuo people, he is not from Yuwen family at all."

Fat fish sighed: "If

Regardless of other things, this time, only the eldest son is most suitable to go to Wutuo to resolve the disputes in the Tang City.Regardless of status or ability, Yuwen's family could not find a more suitable person than the eldest son."I asked again: "Lord Lord, when did Old Master Hou say to leave?""

"Father asked to wait two more days to see if anyone has come back to report the details." Yu Wencheng said: "If there is no other news within two days, then we will leave in two days."

"So urgent?" Zhao Yi said in surprise.

"The treasurer Bai is in the prison of the Wutuo people. I am afraid that it will be more urgent." Yu Wencheng said: "Father's meaning, among the eight tribes of Wutuo, the White Wolf King of the White Wolf tribe has always belonged to the Lord and the faction. Tuo met with Datang Swordsmen. On his territory, the merchants who came and went were fairly protected, and the Tang people who left the customs were also safer."

"If other tribes can sit and take money like him, they won't be hostile to Datang." Zhao Yi said: "If we go on a journey day and night without stopping for seven or eight days, we should be able to rush to Tang City."

Yuwen Chengchao shook his head and said: "You can't go straight like this."

"The big young man is worried about becoming a target?" Fat Fish asked.

Yuwen Chengchao said: "What Wang Xiao said just now, don't forget that the White Wolf King set fire to arrest people, it is probably not your own intention, but forced to help. Think about it, who can let the White Wolf King Forced to break his arm in helplessness?"

"In the territory of the Wutuo Khanate, only King Wutuo Khan has this ability." Fat Yu said: "But why is King Wutuo Khan embarrassed with Tang City?"

"We don't know what the situation is, so we can't negotiate directly with the White Wolf King." Yuwen Chengchao thoughtfully: "Maybe the White Wolf King doesn't want us to find him directly."

Fat Fish understood, and said: "The eldest son wants to conceal his identity first. What was the situation in the past, and if he has the opportunity to contact the White Wolf King?"

"It just so happens that I know that the Dou and Tian's families seem to be going outside the customs these few days." Yu Wencheng said: "They are going to leave the customs under the flag of Longhe Caravan. They have been preparing for a month or two."

Zhao Yi reacted: "Lord, do you mean let's go out with Longhe Caravan?"

"The Wutuo people have always been wary of the people in the pass." Yu Wencheng said: "If we ride out with swords, we will immediately be targeted by the Wutuo people. It is not easy to get rid of them. Only the caravan After leaving the customs, Wu Tuo will relax a bit, and we will not be conspicuous when we are mixed in the caravan."

Fat Fish frowned and said, "Lord Master, China’s city was burned. It shouldn’t be just us who got the news, but the Dou family should also know that something happened over there. I’m worried that after getting the news over there, Long and the caravan will go out. Postpone or even give up."

"This matter is left to you." Yu Wencheng said: "After dawn, you go directly to Longhe Trading Company and tell him that this time the Tian Dou family must go out and there is no room for negotiation. If they are If you don't agree, you won't have to go out to do business in the future." The tone is very strong.

Zhao Yi realized that Qin Xiao was unfamiliar with this, and he explained: “For merchants to leave the customs, they must be organized by the trading house. The trade guild arranges escorts and routes to ensure that the merchants’ goods can be sold smoothly, but the profits of the goods, 20% will be charged."

Qin Xiao thought that if he was responsible for protecting safety and clearing the barriers along the way, it would be reasonable to charge 20% of the profit.

Qin Xiao is not very clear about the doorways in commerce, but he knows some.

Xiling Gate Valve

In addition to the tax on the common people’s income, the most important item is actually trade.

Xiling has always been a trading center for merchants from east to west. Before the Wutuo people prospered, the Central Plains had business contacts with the Western Regions. In the hundreds of years before the founding of the Tang Dynasty, many caravans ventured to the Western Regions. As a result, the business road of Xiling was opened up. Merchants from the Western Regions also learned from the Tang Dynasty and entered the territory of Xiling to the east. The merchants who traveled from east to west made Xiling prosperous for a time.

However, for many years after the Wutuo Rebellion, the business route was interrupted, and King Wutuo Khan took the initiative to request the resumption of trade, and the Xiling gate clan also tried to facilitate this.

After the restoration of the business road, the existence of horse bandits also affected the smooth flow of the business road. After the Xiling family group attacked the horse bandits, they began to implement various strategies in commerce. For example, to trade in Xiling, the merchants on both sides must go through the business controlled by the door family Yes, direct transactions in private are not allowed.

If there are merchants who want to fight for higher profits and are willing to take the risk of exiting the customs, they must also be organized by the trading house in Xiling, and hang the flag of the trading house.

Although the Dou family and the Tian family are both Xiling tyrants, they still have to catch up with the Longhe Trading Company controlled by the Yuwen family if they want to leave the customs.

In other words, whoever wants to make money without the permission of the three gate lords of Xiling would be impossible.

"Yes!" Fat Fish nodded and said, "I'll be there at dawn."

"Also, we also have some goods here." Yuwen Chengchao whispered: "Houfu will prepare them, but they will not be used for trading, but for gifts. When we get to Wutuo, we will check first. Knowing the situation, I heard that the White Wolf King is also a greedy and beautiful person. We first prepare gifts for him and find opportunities to send them. We don't care if Tangren City can recover, at least we must save the treasurer Bai's safe and sound."

"If the treasurer Bai knows that the old man and the old man are so worried about his affairs, he will have no regrets in his death." Zhao Yi sighed.

Fat Fish glanced at him and said lightly: "Don't worry, if you are imprisoned by the Wutuo one day, the old man will not ignore it."

"Dead fat man, you can't vomit ivory." Zhao Yi cursed: "This time you leave the customs, you will be the first one to be the Utuo...!" Halfway through, even if you know that I said it jokingly, and that is also a bad sign, so I swallowed the words back.

"We will pretend to be the caravan's escort." Yu Wencheng said: "There are hundreds of caravans that leave the customs every year, and each team is accompanied by a escort, so we will not be noticed when we leave the customs."

"The old man had already thought about it." Fat Yu said: "Be prepared for a rainy day, then there will be no problems."

Yuwen Chengchao shook his head and said, "It's not that I thought it all. It was Deputy Commander Liu who spoke to his father and made arrangements."

"Deputy Commander Liu?" Fat Yu was startled: "Liu Wenxuan?"

When Qin Xiao heard Liu Wenxuan's name, he thought of the weird scene that evening, and his back was numb.

For some reason, Qin Xiao felt uncomfortable when he heard the name after knowing that many people in Baihuying disappeared inexplicably and related to Liu Wenxuan.

"Father, let him go with him this time." Yu Wencheng said: "The deputy commander Liu is trusted by his father, he is cautious and prudent, and is very resourceful. The truth is revealed in the Tang Dynasty. We have nothing to do until now. I know, we don’t even know what we will encounter during this trip. With Liu Wenxuan following, we will be more confident to deal with difficulties when encountering difficulties.”
