When a conspiracy that has lasted for 30 years gradually comes to light, it is an extremely shocking thing for anyone, because there are too many uncertainties and too many unknowns behind it.

There is so much fear in the world, and it is all caused by the unknown.

In the Imperial Garden, Zhao Yu, who was sitting behind the imperial table, raised his slender fingers, gently rubbed the wall of the teacup in his hand, and fell into thought.

In the hands of the young emperor, this teacup carved from Xuantian wood has a soft touch like warm jade, extremely silky, and then a message from below pulled Zhao Yu's thoughts back:

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that there is another matter, and it is quite strange to think about it now. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yu raised his head, and then his voice came out:

"But it doesn't hurt for you to say that. ”

"This matter is about twenty years ago, when after accumulation and development, Tianmen Pass has been extremely prosperous, there are many chambers of commerce, more than half of the fur in the entire northern part of Great Xia, the source of the snow mountain spirit plant and other transactions are here, and the supply of the entire northern army has also been greatly guaranteed. ”

When the old official in front of Zhao Yu said this, he paused a little, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he remembered, and continued to speak:

Then something happened that made the old minister remember it vividly, one day, someone came from the Arctic Snow Field Glass City, and it was the Ice Plain Female Saint who appeared outside the city wall of the north city of Tianmen Pass in person, and the entire Tianmen Pass instantly snowed in the sky, and directly entered the first-level alert state, and even the old prince who had been living in the southern city also appeared on the city wall for the first time.

"The Icefield Maiden only sent a letter and asked to be handed over to the White Emperor Palace. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yu above the old official, after his eyes flickered for a while, the sound of the steady emperor then sounded under the Xuantian wood:

"I guess the content of that letter is to ask me to open the door of trade with the Snow People tribe of the Extreme North Snow Plain?"

"Exactly!"

The old celestial supervisor nodded heavily, and continued to add:

"At that time, I was the envoy of Si Tianjian to the north, so I was fortunate to see the content of that letter, for Great Xia, the conditions it proposed were extremely favorable, almost profiteering, such as exchanging half a catty of salt for thirty complete snow beast skins, and increasing the cultivation of the monk Snow Lotus, which can be obtained with two bags of rice, and so on.

"Then Your Majesty, your father convened the ministers to discuss the matter, because it involved the stability of the northern frontier and caused a lot of trouble, and finally the palace set a rule, only four chambers of commerce were open to the snow trade, and the four with the strongest capital fought for once a year, and were supervised by the imperial court, and were not allowed to sell weapons and armor and other war equipment. ”

"Therefore, although you and others have supervised the items that go to trade, they have neglected the most important point, that is, the population!"

Zhao Yu's voice fell, and then the old eunuch kowtowed forward again, and said:

"The ministers were negligent, every time we did an investigation of the escort guards, but we should have thought that the extreme northern snowfield was sinister, and it was normal to lose a few people, so we made such a big mistake. ”

The old priest's voice of pleading guilt fell, and Zhao Yu did not delve into it, but opened his mouth lightly, squinted his eyes, and lightly spit out four words:

"Icefield Maiden!"

The whole incident of Shan Wenbai has been smoothed out by Zhao Yu, but as the saying goes, once the Ice Plain Female Saint is also involved, then the hidden strength of the remnants of the former dynasty in the Extreme North Snow Plain will rise in a straight line.

A saint, and at the same time the only saint who is exposed in front of people in the entire vast land of Shenzhou, the strength of the Ice Plain Female Saint is undoubted, coupled with the large number of monks that Shan Wenbai has been accumulating, she is fully capable of directly unifying the Extreme North Snow Field, and what Great Xia will have to face at that time is not just as simple as a high-level high-level monk, but the entire powerful Snow People tribe!

"A hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff. ”

The murmur came from Zhao Yu's mouth, and the subsequent Emperor Nian came back to his senses, as if he had thought of something, and continued to ask:

"The son-in-law of the king of Bei'an, the excerpt given to me by the Marquis of Tianmen Jiangqing has the style of a soldier who is concise and concise, and there is no superfluous remark, but he mentions a chamber of commerce called Nanke at the end, which is really interesting. ”

Zhao Yu's words lingered in his ears, and then the current Si Tianjian Northern Affairs Envoy, who had been kneeling silently beside the old priest, raised his head and arched his hand in response:

"Back to Your Majesty, this chamber of commerce called Nanke, Weichen also pays a lot of attention to it, it has not been established for a long time, and it has only been five years since he came to Tianmen Pass to settle in Nancheng, but its means of making a fortune are different from the rest of the chambers of commerce, not by collecting furs and other cold things, and reselling to earn the difference to make a fortune, but by relying on lamps and candles.

"As we all know, the snow beasts in the 100,000 mountains rely not only on their heavy fur but also on the thick fat under their skins, and these fats are greasy and taste worse than the meat of beasts, so the rough-thinking hunters often discard them, and the Nanke Chamber of Commerce buys them all at a very low price. ”

As soon as the words of the current envoy of northern affairs fell, the expression of the old priest beside him changed slightly, and then he spoke:

"When the old man was in office, there were also businessmen who took a fancy to the business opportunity of this snow beast fat and made it into an oil candle, but there was a fishy smell that was difficult to get rid of, and it was extremely pungent.

"My lord. ”

Si Tianjian Northern Affairs Envoy turned sideways to the old priest and bowed his hand, and continued to speak loudly:

"The Nanke Chamber of Commerce not only removes the fishy smell in the lamp, but even has a faint fragrance, and it can burn three times more than ordinary lamps.

So once this oil candle was launched, it was very popular, directly occupied the entire northern market, and this chamber of commerce with its rapid growth, only two years, won one of the four trade qualifications to do business in the far north snowfield, and more importantly, the male shopkeeper of the southern guest chamber of commerce personally led the team to the north every time, three times in three years, all returned safely, no one died or lost. ”

Speaking of this, the middle-aged priest paused slightly, and the voice came out again:

In this way, the South Chamber of Commerce has faintly become one of the legendary chambers of commerce in the entire Tianmen Pass, and the Ministry of Household contacted Weichen some time ago, and also intends to purchase the oil candles it produces.

"I think this is also the reason why Marquis Jiang specially named his name on the excerpt, after all, the task of the Jiang clan and the Northern Army is to guard the border passes, and the Tongbei Chamber of Commerce has to guard against it. ”

The voice of Si Tianjian Northern Affairs Envoy fell, and Zhao Yu suddenly smiled lightly and said lightly:

"It doesn't matter, the development method of this Nanke Chamber of Commerce reminds me of a person. ”

After speaking, a bewitching figure appeared in the mind of the young emperor.

There are countless people in the entire Great Xia, and she is the smartest and most business-savvy businessman Zhao Yu has ever seen.
