Daqin: The Greatest Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

"Sir, I admire your talent so much that I am in awe of you!" The Emerald Tiger bowed respectfully with a pious look, almost kneeling down to Su Xuan.

Seeing the Emerald Tiger being fooled and confused, Zi Nu tried hard to suppress her laughter.

This guy is really bad! He sold the Jade Tiger and the Jade Tiger helped him count the money.

"I just happened to bring the Jade Colored Glass Beads here today. They cost 400,000 gold. Payment and goods are settled. No credit." After saying this, Su Xuan continued to make promises to Jade Tiger and Night. "This is our first cooperation. If the cooperation goes well, there will be plenty of opportunities."

When Emerald Tiger heard this, his heart started pounding.

Is there such a profitable business? Isn't this the living God of Wealth?

We must build a good relationship with him!

He started thinking about the food in the pot before he even finished the food in the bowl.

Four hundred thousand gold is an astronomical figure. His entire fortune, plus his previous earnings, is only more than three hundred thousand gold.

This is a big gamble!

His inner reason told him that he could not put all his wealth on one business. If it failed, there would be no recovery.

But this thought was completely swallowed up by overwhelming desire and greed in just the blink of an eye.

Having experienced making quick money of 100,000 gold a day, he could no longer tolerate the slow pace of making money and longed for more!

"This is a serious matter, please wait a moment, sir." After bowing, Jade Tiger retreated and went to the darkroom at the back of the hall.

Ji Wuye listened to the entire conversation.

"What do you think, General?" The Emerald Tiger put on a pose and asked Ji Wuye for his advice immediately.

"Is it reliable?" Ji Wuye narrowed his eyes slightly, looking thoughtful.

But no matter how he looked, he couldn't see any flaws.

"The general participated in the entire transaction process at Yibao Pavilion. I believe the general has already made up his mind." The Jade Tiger continued to flatter him.

When mentioning Yibao Pavilion, Ji Wuye's eyes couldn't help but flash with greed.

"There is indeed great potential." He felt excited inside.

"General, I only have 300,000 gold here..." He hesitated to speak.

Ji Wuye immediately understood what he meant. After hesitating for a while, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

"Go back to Nightfall and withdraw 100,000 gold."

When he relied on 8,000 helpless soldiers to fight back against 100,000 elite soldiers of the Chu State, wasn't that a gamble?

This gamble turned him from an unknown guest official into a famous general in South Korea.

And today, he still believes that he will be the final winner.

The Emerald Tiger was overjoyed and couldn't wait to agree to Su Xuan's deal as soon as he returned to the hall.

"Four hundred thousand gold is not a small amount. I will pay three hundred thousand gold first, and the remaining one hundred thousand gold will be delivered to your residence before the evening. What do you think?"

Su Xuan pondered for a moment and then agreed to the Emerald Tiger's proposal.

After the money and goods were settled, Su Xuan and Zi Nu got on the carriage and set off on their journey home.

The Jade Tiger was overjoyed when he saw the jade glass beads. He picked up each one and looked at them carefully. He couldn't let them go. The craftsmanship and quality of the beads were amazing.

After looking at most of the glass beads, he suddenly found a crystal ball as red as agate. Inside the ball was a lifelike auspicious beast. Its body was like a tiger or leopard, its head and tail were like a dragon, its color was both gold and jade, it had a horn on its head, one hand was holding a gold ingot, and the other hand was waving to the visitor.

The emerald tiger couldn't take its eyes off it the moment it saw it.

It turned out to be the auspicious beast Pixiu!

Pixiu has always been a symbol of bringing in money but not giving it out, and it symbolizes attracting wealth and fortune, as well as blessings from heaven. For a businessman like me, there is no treasure more suitable than this.

He felt like he had gotten a big bargain and couldn't help but feel complacent.

Chapter 99 Desire

"Human desires are like rolling stones on a mountain. Once they start, there is no way to stop." Su Xuan sighed.

"Being able to earn tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of gold in a short period of time is a temptation that no one can resist, not even the king of a country."

"This is an unsolvable conspiracy!" Zi Nu gave Su Xuan a charming look, thinking, who else but you has such means?

"Do we want to dump the jadeite glass balls we have produced into the market?" Zi Nu raised her lips slightly, "Even if we only sell them for one gold, we can still make a lot of profit."

"No hurry." Su Xuan shook his head. "Even a dog will bite when it's angry, not to mention the night."

"Let's move our people away quietly first, so that we don't have any worries." Su Xuan looked at the beauty in front of him and grasped her soft hands. "Are you ready to leave Korea?"

Zi Nu nodded slightly and leaned her head on Su Xuan's shoulder.

"Are you willing to do so?" Su Xuan stroked her soft purple hair and asked softly.

"Whether it's Korea or other places, it doesn't make any difference to me." Zi Nu shook her head, "As long as the people I care about are around me, that's enough."

"Miss Zi Nu is quite open-minded." Su Xuan looked at her with admiration and continued, "As for the jadeite glass balls, it won't be too late for us to dump them on the market when most of the Nightfall balls are sold."

"When those dignitaries see that jadeite colored glass balls are beginning to circulate in large quantities on the market, and the price is less than one ten-thousandth of what they paid for them, what do you think Miss Zi Nu will do?"

Zi Nu's pupils shrank slightly, her heart was shaken, and she looked at Su Xuan with strange eyes.

In him, Zi Nu saw the spirit of "when he is angry, all the princes are afraid; when he is at peace, the world is at peace".

By using a commodity, he could attract the most powerful people in the seven countries to join the game, thereby influencing the situation and achieving his desired goals.

So, can the same be true for the Violet Chamber of Commerce in the future?

She had a hunch that in the near future, the status of businessmen would undergo a radical change.

"Sir, you can easily stir up the world and change the weather. Zi Nu admires you very much." She exclaimed in admiration, and then expressed her own opinion, "The person who can afford the jade glass ball must be the most powerful person in the seven countries. In their eyes, face is sometimes more important than money. When they find that they are being fooled, Ye Mu will be attacked by everyone and there will be no place for him to stay."

"This amount of money is not a small sum, enough to make a king of a country salivate. If Ji Wuye does not return it, the six countries will have a legitimate reason to divide up Han State, and they are likely to send troops to attack Han State. The King of Han will also be wary of Ji Wuye, and the king and his subjects will become alienated."

"If it is returned, the nobles of the seven nations may not make a big fuss, but they will definitely find a chance to retaliate. The development of Ye Mu will be restricted in every way, and its foundation will be shaken. When King Han hears this news, he will also doubt whether Ji Wuye has second thoughts, and his trust in him will inevitably decline greatly."

"If that time really comes, Miss Zinu, what choice do you think Ji Wuye will make?" Su Xuan asked with more admiration in his eyes.

"Given Ji Wuye's personality, he will definitely choose the first option." Zi Nu said firmly, "If he chooses the second option, Ye Mu will exist in name only."

Without the huge financial support, Nightfall will come to a complete halt in no time.

One hundred thousand gold is a heart-breaking number for Ye Mu.

"I think he is very likely to launch a palace coup."

Su Xuan nodded, agreeing with Zi Nu's opinion.

This is a high probability event when one has money and soldiers but is left with nowhere else to go.

"Sir, I believe that the reason you did this is also because of the Ninth Young Master, right?" Zi Nu looked at Su Xuan intently.

Su Xuan shrugged helplessly, "Junior brother is still too conservative. As his senior brother, I can only give him a push from behind."

Zi Nu felt ashamed, thinking that this was not just a push, it was completely skipping all the steps and directly letting Han Fei and Ji Wuye fight a decisive battle.

She even worried about whether Han Fei could win if Ji Wuye rebelled.

"Don't worry, when Junior Brother is serious about doing something, there are really few people who can beat him."

"Especially when it comes to South Korea's survival."

Su Xuan seemed to see through Zi Nu's thoughts and spoke to comfort her.

"When we get back later, I'll tell him about this and let him prepare early."

He looked at the gold that was shipped. "As for the money, while developing the Violet Chamber of Commerce, we will collect unlimited food from all over the seven countries."

"We'll take whatever we can get, even if it's several percentage points higher."

He looked deep in his eyes and made plans in advance, "War will come soon."

"Remember, we only collect, we don't sell."

Zi Nu nodded and agreed to this matter.

Afterwards, Su Xuan talked to Zi Nu about his prospects for Baiyue and the business matters between the two places, which were coordinated by Yan Lingji and Zi Nu.

Before they knew it, they had returned to Zi Lan Xuan.

Coincidentally, Han Fei was drinking and having fun inside.

Wei Zhuang sat opposite him, and the two seemed to be talking about something.

Seeing Su Xuan and Zi Nu coming back, the two of them also stopped.

Behind Su Xuan and the others, boxes were carried into Zi Lan Xuan one after another. Seeing the servants' heavy steps and exhausted expressions, Han Fei narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking about something, and showed a curious look, "Brother, Miss Zi Nu, what is this?"

"It's all gold." Su Xuan told the truth.

"Brother, are you kidding?" Han Fei's mind went blank. If it was all gold, how much wealth would it be?

Even Wei Zhuang, who had a cold expression, was moved.

"Miss Zi Nu?" Han Fei looked at Zi Nu in confusion.

"What you said, sir, is indeed true." Zi Nu chuckled and gave an affirmative answer.

She then told him everything about the transaction and the possible consequences of dumping in the near future.

After finishing speaking, Han Fei looked solemn and remained silent for a long time.

Wei Zhuang's eyes lit up, his heart was shaken, and he looked at Su Xuan without blinking.

By using a commodity, he could influence the situation in seven countries and achieve his own goal.

Even the famous diplomats Su Qin and Zhang Yi probably did not have such ability.

At this moment, he had a slightly different understanding of the art of strategy.

"Brother, you have given me a big surprise!" Han Fei smiled bitterly.

In his opinion, his senior brother was good in every way except that he was sometimes too extreme.

"With your ability, I'm sure you can handle it properly." Su Xuan patted Han Fei on the shoulder, expressing his full trust in him.

"This may not be a bad thing. It can justify the removal of Ji Wuye." Su Xuan began to paint a picture for Han Fei, "As long as Ji Wuye is removed, Junior Brother will no longer have any obstacles in the court, and Brother Wei Zhuang will become the new general of Han State."

"With the help of Guigu's successor and a fortune of millions of gold, Junior Brother will surely be able to create a brand new Korea."

"Within a few years, South Korea's national strength will be many times greater."

“There is great potential in this matter!”

Even though he knew Su Xuan was just promising him something, Han Fei was instantly moved.

Unable to change the established facts, he began to think about how to quell the rebellion in the shortest time possible if Ji Wuye rebelled.

Just when he had figured out a little bit, he saw Su Xuan looking at him with a smile, "Junior brother, I gave you such a big surprise, shouldn't you repay me?"

"When are you going to formally introduce your sister Honglian to us?"

Han Fei's defense was broken instantly.

......

Chapter 100 Changes

Time flies like a white horse. In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

Meanwhile, changes are taking place quietly within the seven countries.

In front of a tea shop in South Korea, countless farm boys gathered together, and in front of them, a hunchbacked man with some scars on his face was talking.

"Everyone, last time we talked about how Monkey King worshipped Patriarch Bodhi as his master and learned the Great Heavenly Immortal Art, the Seventy-two Transformations, the Somersault Cloud and other superb magic skills. Today we are going to talk about..."

"Old man Sun, can one somersault really reach a distance of 108,000 miles?"

"Is there really someone who can fly on clouds and perform various magical transformations?"

"Are there really gods in this world?"

......

There was endless discussion, but Old Man Sun was already used to it. He responded with ease and answered the questions one by one.

"Everyone, please be patient. The Monkey King's experiences are a story written by a friend of mine over several years. You can't take it seriously."
