Judging from his testimony, it is obvious that the two generals of the Phnom Penh Dynasty had a gap, and then saw that the Solangon family had made so much money, and when he saw that he was interested in making money, General Hun Sen ignored General Dahn's face and suddenly made a move, which was really the best of both worlds.

The only fly in the ointment is that he fled with the letter, making the truth revealed. To say that the Solangon family has been in business for generations, and there is some money, but it is obviously unrealistic to say that they want to compete with the generals of a country because of this. If they really dared to do so, they could only hit the stone with an egg, and eventually the entire family trade route in the Phnom Penh dynasty was wiped out.

Merchants are mainly interested in seeking wealth, and they will not use any swords until they have to. Fighting hard against hard is obviously not what he thinks, and it is not in the interests of the family. But now that Hun Sen has done it, how can he give up and give up, and how can he bow his head lightly? I'm afraid I won't even admit what I did before. In that case, things get a little tricky.

While he was still thinking about the gains and losses of the matter, the people of the family had stopped arguing, and they all looked at him, and it was obvious that he needed to make a decision as the patriarch at this time.

"Everyone, don't be impatient, let me discuss this matter with Mr. Longzi before making a decision." He didn't make any decisions in public recklessly, he knew that the more important the event, the more he had to calm down, otherwise, once he was impulsive, it was likely to bring terrible consequences to the entire family.

The patriarch spoke, and everyone had no better way to do it, so they had to agree first. However, some clan elders have already said that if this matter is not handled properly, they will consider reconvening the family meeting and choosing a new patriarch.

He Nong Si can take the throne precisely because he hugged Long Qi's thigh, but if this thigh can't guarantee the interests of the family, then they don't mind inviting the old patriarch out. It can be seen from this incident that his agricultural thinking still makes many people jealous, and the backyard is unstable.

Knowing the meaning of several clan elders, he Nong Si did not get angry, but agreed with a smile, promising that the matter would be resolved. After that, he took a few relatives to the former national teacher's mansion and met Longqi.

is no longer a national teacher, Longqi does not have as many official affairs as before, and even the former Canglan nobles are still crowding him out, and the whole person is still a little uncomfortable when he is suddenly idle, but fortunately, the road to business has been opened, and he has begun to harvest, and the silver of white flowers has entered his pocket, making him smile so much that he can't close his mouth, and he seems to be younger all of a sudden.

Knowing that he was coming, Long Qi laughed and walked into the main hall, thinking that the trade route of the Phnom Penh Dynasty was about to settle the bill, and I heard that he could get nearly 50,000 taels of silver, which was equivalent to his several years, how could he be unhappy.

"Mr. Long, something happened." As soon as he saw Long Qi, he put down the patriarch's shelf, clenched his fists and lowered his head to repeat what he had said before.

Long Qi put away his smug look and quietly listened to his words. After learning about the whole thing, his first feeling was whether the other party wanted to eat black and swallow his own share of the benefits. But if you think about it carefully, the other party has to rely on himself more now, and he shouldn't do this kind of thing because it's small but big. Could it be that there are really people who don't have long eyes and swallow their money?

It is difficult to do business, especially depending on the faces of dignitaries and nobles, and even sometimes if you can't do anything in one aspect, you may suffer a lot of losses. Although Longzi has never done business, he still knows it. But usually the smaller the business, the greater the constraints, on the contrary, the more powerful the family will be to do business, which is the power of connections.

The Solangon family has been in business for generations, and in some surrounding countries, even the Ming Dynasty has some connections and foundations, so it is said that such a robbery and murder will not fall on them. But why did such a thing happen all of a sudden?

As a former national teacher of a country, Long Qi obviously thinks more than he Nongsi, a businessman. It was precisely because he thought about it a lot that he felt the trickiness of this matter even more.

"What are you going to do, Mr. Patriarch?" Not being the first to express his own opinion is a habit that Longzi has cultivated for many years, before making a final decision, he first looks at the opinions of others and learns from each other's strengths.

"Mr. Long, I would like to send someone to communicate with General Hun Sen first to see if I can make things clear. If they don't give face, they are asking General Muen for help and asking him to put pressure on him. In short, if this problem is not solved, our caravan will not be able to go to the Phnom Penh dynasty. He thought about farming all the way, but he thought of many countermeasures. Still, he felt that these conventional ways of dealing with it didn't seem to be enough.

"Not bad." Rhonzi nodded approvingly, agreeing to his Nongsi's proposal.

"It's just—" A look of confusion appeared on his Nong Si's face again.

"Just how? Mr. Patriarch, now that we are partners, we can say whatever we want. Long Qi showed a trace of dissatisfaction with his nongsi's desire to indulge in the past, he has been an official all the year round, and he is in a high position, what kind of things have not been seen, how can he not see through the other party's tricks.

A look of embarrassment appeared on his Nong Si's face when he was broken by a word, but he soon returned to normal. Businessmen, to be thick-skinned, this is always the first element, as soon as they encounter problems, they retreat, such a person is destined to become nothing big. "Yes, what Mr. Long said is, it's a little trick."

After admitting his own wrongdoing, he said bluntly after thinking about it: "I am afraid that it is a little difficult to solve the matter, even if General Hun Sen has already made a move, and the fat has already eaten in his mouth, it will not be spit out, and he will even deny it outright." If so, I'm afraid that General Dahn's pressure will not be useful. Not to mention, for the sake of us businessmen, it is still unknown whether the two generals will really be able to turn their faces, so we have to make other preparations. ”

"Anything else? What does it mean? Naturally, Longzi also knows the truth of this. The protection of officials and officials is not just talking, in the face of businessmen, there will always be a sense of superiority for officials, and there is naturally a reason for his agricultural considerations.

After pondering for a moment, he finally raised his head and said to Long Qi: "We have to be ready, if we really can't do it, we can ask the mercenaries for help." "Asking for help from mercenaries?" Long Qi was shocked at first after hearing this, and then shook his head and said, "No, no, how can mercenaries bother with our little thing." Besides, the Phnom Penh dynasty was an independent dynasty, and they did not have any affiliation with the mercenaries. ”

Of course, Long Qi shook his head, he used to be a national teacher, but now he is just a civilian. Before, the lark was going to use him, so he could be allowed to make conditions. Now that five million taels of silver have been given to him, and he is allowed to do business, and he can give priority to taking some goods from the commercial street, this is already very good. You can't get an inch.

Naturally, this is also because Long Qi is now in a weak position, otherwise, he doesn't know how many things he has done.

"Why not?" But it was his face that was firm. "Mr. Long, didn't the mercenaries say that? They will guarantee the people, oh no! It is the interests of their citizens, and now that this is the province of Laos, we are already a citizen here. We have paid our business taxes truthfully, and now that we have a problem, shouldn't we ask them for help? ”

He wanted to say that he should ask them for an explanation. But this kind of knowledge should also be thought about in your heart, he doesn't have the courage to really attack the mercenaries.

"This... Still won't work. Long Qi was first moved by his words, but then shook his head. Now he is a civilian, who knows if people still take care of themselves. What if you take the initiative to come to the door and people suddenly want to dig over old accounts? Money is moving. Now who does not know that he has received five million taels from the hands of mercenaries, and if someone hits his mind and takes the initiative to ask for gold and silver, will he give it or not?

As for whether the mercenaries will do this, hehe, anyway, when Longqi was a national teacher before, he did not do it less. Treat others to himself, and of course he will think that this is the way it should be.

Long Qi's head shook like a wave drum, which made him look a little discouraged. The reason why he asked him to cooperate was not only to see that the other party could get more goods in the commercial street, but also to take a fancy to the other party's connections and identity. So if this thing can't be done properly, why does he have to cooperate with the other party and take the initiative to give away the benefits?

This time is not an ordinary incident, but it is related to whether he can continue to be the patriarch, if it cannot be reasonably resolved, I am afraid that he will be beaten back to his original form again. It's not even as good as before, after all, everyone knows that he has the ambition to be the patriarch, and at that time, whoever becomes the patriarch will vigorously suppress himself, and that's how difficult it is.

Having already become the patriarch, of course Nong Si didn't want to go back to the past, let alone the previous one that was not as good as before.

Originally, he didn't want to say too much, but he had no way out, but he had no way out, and he had to sacrifice the last killer weapon, "Mr. Long, this matter must be reported to the mercenaries and let them help, if this cannot be achieved, I don't think there is any need for you and the Solangon family to cooperate." ”

"Huh? What did you say? There was a chill in Long Qi's eyes, and the aura of the original superior was undoubtedly revealed at this moment.
