Once it is extinguished, there is nothing left.

There was no need even to bury him.

He has buried himself in furs and loneliness.

In fact, after Su Mengzhen took a [Tiangang Seven Star Pill], his complexion has become much better than before.

In comparison, Lei Juan seems to be more seriously ill.

Zhao Wuxian still respected this sickly person who could achieve achievements far beyond ordinary people.

He set his gaze on Lei Juan. Judging from the performance of the other three, Lei Juan was the one in charge today.

Lei Juan didn't waste any time and stated his purpose.

"We are here for two purposes!"

"First, the four of us have established a chamber of commerce, hoping to cooperate with the prince and participate in ocean trade!"

"Of course, as long as His Majesty agrees, we will put His Majesty first and will not give less effort or money!"

After saying this, Lei Juan paused for a moment, as if saying these words had consumed most of his energy.

Even though he was a congenital master, he was still powerless.

"Oh?"

Zhao Wuxian raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Ocean trade is very risky. Do you really want to participate?"

Lei Juan said: "Fortune and honor are sought in danger!"

"Prince Jing's Mansion has been preparing for this since last year, for a full six months."

"He even went so far as to destroy the Ship Trade Guild for this purpose. This shows that the prince attaches great importance to this matter."

"In addition, the Song Dynasty has a prosperous trade. If we can expand outward, our goods can be sold to all of Kyushu, and the profits will be great!"

Zhao Wuxian looked at Lei Juan twice more and said calmly, "If that's the case, why should I bring you along?"

Lei Juan took a breath and said, "Risks and costs!"

"It may seem that a single company can earn more, but the risks and costs will increase, and there will be more competitors."

"It is undeniable that the Shipping Trade Guild is right in some aspects!"

“It combines the resources of most people to create greater profits.”

Zhao WuXian smiled.

What Lei Juan said was similar to what he thought.

But he has to do more than that.

He attached great importance to ocean trade, not only for money, but also to open up the sea for the Song Dynasty and let the Song Dynasty go to the sea.

He does need more people to enter this market.

There are benefits only when there are people.

How can we do business without people?

But Zhao Wuxian did not agree immediately.

The people currently in charge of the entire project are Zhao Shirong and his third uncle Zhao Shizhen, so we have to discuss it with them.

Since they are responsible, they should also be given corresponding powers. Otherwise, who will work hard and diligently?

It is impossible for Zhao Wuxian to do everything himself.

Zhao WuXian asked: "What's the second purpose?"

Lei Juan said: "The second purpose is to discuss what the prince said before, the research and development of gunpowder and firearms."

"Well, the Lei family agreed?" Zhao Wuxian said.

Years ago, Zhao Wuxian sent people to contact the Lei family, hoping to strengthen the research and development of gunpowder and firearms, but unfortunately the Lei family did not give him face.

This is normal. The Lei family is the best in the Song Dynasty in terms of gunpowder and firearms, while Zhao Wuxian is just starting out.

How to cooperate?

Everyone in the Lei family naturally thought that it was Zhao Wuxian who wanted to take their technology for free.

This is the core information of the Lei family, how could they give it to others easily?

Although Zhao Wuxian did have this plan...

But Zhao Wuxian knew that he couldn't push too hard, so he took a detour and supported Lei Chun to take the position, letting her act as a middleman.

Why did Zhao Wuxian insist on taking down the Lei family?

Doesn't he know the direction of development of flames and firearms?

Of course he knew.

But the key is not the direction, but the craftsmen, production materials, the most basic conditions, and hardware facilities.

Simply put, if a novice were to be asked to do the materials needed for flame, how to purify it, etc., the cost of trial and error would be too high.

Saying it and doing it are two different things.

Just because the brain and eyes can do it doesn’t mean the hands can do it.

Indeed, Zhao Wuxian can be trained, but how many years will it take?

After hundreds of years of accumulation, the Lei family has already cultivated a group of experienced talents and craftsmen.

What they lack is a clear direction and a clear design.

If we can absorb the accumulation and background of the Lei family, then many ideas will have a greater chance of success.

"Some old people are still not very willing, but I am willing to give it a try and start a new business." Lei Juan said.

Zhao WuXian understood his implication and said with a smile, "Sure, I welcome people with skills and abilities to join us."

After leaving Prince Jing's Mansion, Lei Juan and the other three returned to the inn.

No one was around.

Qi Shaoshang couldn't hold back his anger and asked, "Master Su, will Prince Jing really agree to the Chamber of Commerce's request?"

"Ok!"

Su Mengzhen nodded.

He was the one who took the lead in this matter, and only he had the credibility and prestige to persuade Lei Juan and Qi Shaoshang.

"If we accomplish this, we'll get a huge sum of money," said Qi Shaoshang.

Su Mengzhen said: "The prince is not an ordinary person. We seek wealth, and the prince seeks..."

He stopped talking.

But everyone in the room was smart, so they naturally knew that the word he didn't say was "country".

"He agreed. We are tied to him. If he fails, we can only flee overseas."

Lei Juan said calmly.

Su Mengzhen said: "Wealth and honor are sought in danger, isn't it?"

Lei Juan looked at him deeply.

In his impression, Su Mengzhen is a loyal and courageous man who cares about the world.

In terms of orthodoxy, Prince Jing is from the lineage of Taizu.

In terms of status, he is just a prince.

(Hello, Wang)

He didn't even choose the one from Beijing?

Lei Juan laughed and said, "I'm dead anyway, it doesn't matter. Old Qi, let's go to the Treasure Pavilion and take a look!"

"it is good!"

Qi Shaoshang laughed and said, "I brought a lot of silver this time."

The two of them went together.

Su Mengzhen and Lei Chun were the only ones left in the room.

"Xiao Leimen and Lianyunzhai are separated but not dispersed. The power of the Lei family is even greater than imagined!" Su Mengzhen said.

"Which of the thirteen families in Jianghu doesn't have something hidden? Compared to the Lei family, the old lady of the Tang family is the more dangerous."

Su Mengzhen thought of the Tang Clan and frowned.

The mixed crowd in the capital is just a microcosm of the entire Song Dynasty. The entire world has long been turbid.

The turbidity of the world sometimes also highlights the disputes in the government.

The two seem unrelated.

In fact, they are closely linked together by the word "interest".

Su Mengzhen felt emotional.

He thought of the eye contact between Lei Chun and Zhao Wuxian in Prince Jing's mansion, looked at the graceful back that walked to the door, and couldn't help asking: "You and him..."

Lei Chun paused, said nothing, and walked out.

Su Mengzhen felt a little sad.

If you want something, you have to pay for it.

People in the arena involuntarily.

He picked up the [Yubingshao] on the table and took three big gulps.

Tons, tons, tons!

The bitter wine enters the throat and makes the heart ache!

pain!

It hurts so much! .
