On the morning of the next day, Han Tao received an invitation from Meng Chan and went to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Xiaoxiang Pavilion is a part of the Xuanzang Academy, an excellent guild hall, and it is the venue of the great master Ji You. Meng Chan was here and met with Han Tao.

Han Tao is Ding Yi's enlightenment teacher, and Meng Chan is very polite to him, and he is full of courtesy.

Knowing that the teacher doesn't like to drink tea and likes to drink, the little cicada brought a little private brew from the outside of the sky to entertain the teacher. The situation in our small world, the teacher is clear, it can't be compared with the ten thousand years of cultivation inheritance in the big world, this wine is a little unavailable, the only thing that makes sense is that the taste is novel, the teacher should not dislike it. ”

Han Tao said: "Little Cicada, you are polite, everyone is not an outsider, what are you doing so politely." ”

That being said, Han Tao still showed a strong interest in the spirit wine that Meng Chan had entertained him this time.

Ding Yi received many gifts from the family, and these spirit wines were also one of them. For thousands of years, in the continuous exploration, they have also summed up a lot of brewing methods, and the spirit wine brewed by many families is extremely rare.

"This is Mo Linglong, the best wine of the Mo family in Zhongzhou, it is the most top-notch wine in our small world, teacher, you can taste it. Meng Chan opened a small jar of spiritual wine beside her, poured a glass for Han Tao with her own hands, and she greeted Han Tao.

Han Tao hurriedly and cautiously took the wine glass.

The color of this wine is deep purple like ink, the wine flavor is not strong, and the wine is viscous and has a unique flavor. Han Tao took a small bite, his eyebrows opened, his eyes lit up, obviously very satisfied, Meng Chan looked at Han Tao's expression, and a smile appeared on his face.

On the bamboo table in front of the two, there were several cold dishes carefully made by Ding Yi. Using the products of the small world to cook the taste of the southeast flavor of the Liuhua Continent can only be done by Ding Yi. Although this time it was a meeting between Meng Chan and Han Tao, Ding Yi still made some careful preparations.

"Originally, it was supposed to be Speaker Tu, who came to talk to you first, but Tianwaitian is not a short distance from Tianchi, he wears many hats, and there are still some affairs at hand that need to be dealt with in time, and he will not arrive in a few days. So this time, I'll talk to you first, Teacher, you won't mind, right?" Meng Chan served wine to Han Taoman again.

Han Tao said: "Little Cicada, what are you doing so politely? Between us, there is no need to be so different, everyone is our own person, let's talk, more relaxed, little cicada, you don't need to be polite." ”

Meng Chan nodded, and she said to Han Tao with a straight face: "Last night, Brother Tian had already told me about the situation, to be honest, I don't approve of the cooperation between our small world and the general manager." ”

Han Tao's figure couldn't help but freeze suddenly.

Meng Chan continued: "Although we and the general manager of Shang have broad prospects for cooperation and exchange with each other, for both sides, the interests in this are very huge. Moreover, having a businessman in the middle to play a cover will also be of great help to us in the future through the big world......"

Han Tao was puzzled and asked, "Little Cicada, since you know this truth, why do you still oppose it?"

"I don't feel the slightest sense of security, teacher, you are a person who understands, and you can't see the many unsafe hidden dangers in this. ”

Han Tao frowned, he put down the wine glass in his hand, stopped it with his left hand, and Meng Chan continued to pour the wine.

"Little Cicada, what places do you mean by insecurity?" Han Tao asked very seriously.

Han Tao's reactions fell one by one, in Meng Chan's eyes. Meng Chan also learned acting with Cai Meiniang, if Han Tao wanted to act in front of her, she thought to herself, she could still see it.

Han Tao in front of him didn't seem to be cheating.

Of course, on the one hand, it is likely to mean that Ding Yi's enlightenment teacher is a high-level performer, and on the other hand, maybe Han Tao's political sensitivity is very low and his vigilance is very low, and he has not yet realized the various complex and treacherous situations in between. However, reason told Meng Chan that this second possibility was very small.

"Teacher Han, please forgive me, with all due respect, I really find it hard to believe that you will not notice it in the slightest. Meng Chan narrowed his eyes and said slowly.

Han Tao's body leaned towards the table again.

"Little Cicada, you might as well say it directly. ”

Meng Chan frowned slightly, but she still spoke bluntly and expressed her concerns.

"As far as I know, the General Chamber of Commerce is a large organization formed by the eight major chambers of commerce of the Shenwu Empire, united by many large and small chambers of commerce. This organization is large and has a large number of people. If you have a lot of people and a lot of eyes, if you trade with us, how can we ensure that the people we contact are not the Imperial Internal Service, Special Service, or other investigative agencies, secret agencies, and are placed undercover agents in the General Manager?"

"I can assure you that in the future, we will never have such a thing in the future......," Han Tao patted his chest and vigorously reassured.

Meng Chan glanced at Han Tao meaningfully and closed his mouth decisively. She didn't even want to talk about the many questions that followed.

How Han Tao couldn't see Meng Chan's distrustful look, he hurriedly said: "Xiao Chan, you are a cultivator, you won't know that there is a storage magic weapon, this kind of thing." I'm the only one who will contact you in the future, can't you still trust me?"

Meng Chan couldn't help but be stunned, she really hadn't thought about this situation. The Shang Zong, the largest force in the Shenwu Empire, is the richest and most influential organization in the surface world. The space backpack on Ding Yi's body, the Panlong belt, these two storage magic weapons, are all produced by the surface world, with the strength and financial resources of the general merchant, presumably the storage magic weapon they gave Han Tao to trade is definitely this kind of top-level storage magic weapon, and there is no need for caravans and other people at all.

The initial transaction between the two sides, not surprisingly, was just some high-level cultivation items and cultivation resources. Industrial products from both places, as well as some low-value goods, will not be traded. It doesn't take up much space at all. It is entirely possible for Han Tao to trade alone.

Meng Chan made a big red face, she picked up the wine jar again and poured wine for Han Tao, who blocked the wine glass tightly with his left hand. It seems that Han Tao also had a little emotion at this time. Meng Chan drank it dry in one gulp, and the spirit wine in front of him. Slowly filling her wine glass again, she got up again and poured wine for Han Tao, this time, Han Tao did not refuse.

"Teacher, don't be surprised, little cicada I, I am a person who is as hot as fire, straightforward, sometimes, I speak too directly, if I offend you, I hope you don't remember the villain, and forgive the little girl. Meng Chan sincerely apologized.

Han Tao, the look on his face recovered slightly.

Meng Chan toasted three glasses in a row and signaled to Han Tao, Han Tao sighed, and then returned, Meng Chan's toast.

"Teacher Han, you have to be considerate of us, to put it mildly, when we go to the big world, it is like dancing on the tip of a knife, if we are not careful, not only will we lose our previous achievements, but we will probably be ruined. In particular, you also know that before we can find out the passage to the big world, we can only rely on Brother Tian to go to the big world. I'm her wife, how could I let him put himself at risk again and again?"

Han Tao nodded.

"Little cicada, you're right, you should be cautious. ”

Meng Chan poured wine for Han Tao, and at the same time poured himself a glass, and the two drank a glass together.

Meng Chan took advantage of the pouring of wine and continued: "Teacher Han, if Mr. Shang just sent you to contact us alone, many security concerns would naturally no longer exist, but I still want to ask a few more words." ”

"Please!"

"Mr. Han, I guess that at the beginning, you also used this way to make a deal with the Truth Society, am I right?"

Han Tao nodded.

"I'm curious, although it is said that merchants have no borders, but as a person from the Shenwu Empire, I think Daoyuan and the security agencies of the Shenwu Empire, the secret agency, should not be unclear about what you are doing, right?

Han Tao said: "The power of the general merchant is huge, and the influence of the eight major chambers of commerce is in all aspects, on the surface, everyone will still abide by the laws of the empire, but there will be marginal areas there, gray industries exist, there are many sects and sects in the Shenwu Empire, and there are all kinds of forces of three religions and nine streams, and these empires cannot be completely controlled." Rather than letting some forces that can't get on the table come to the fore, it is better to let the general manager of commerce come forward to integrate the operation, which should be regarded as a tacit understanding between the empire and the general manager. ”

Of course, the empire knows very well, but as long as the general manager abides by a few bottom lines, the empire actually turns a blind eye. What's more, although Daoyuan is in charge of security and defense and foreign affairs, he is not alone in the empire, and he has the final say in everything, just like the political situation in the small world, the cabinet and the big council have many checks and balances on his power, and without substantial evidence, he can't do anything about business. ”

The political system of the Tianlong Kingdom was born out of the political structure of the Shenwu Empire, and Meng Chan, as the administrative head of the Tianlong Kingdom, she was very clear about this set of processes. Han Tao explained this, and Meng Chan reacted quickly.

Meng Chan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then asked Han Tao again: "Teacher Han, the truth will only be a disease of ringworm for Dao Yuan, and Brother Tian is his confidant, maybe he will have a different attitude towards Brother Tian." Teacher Han, have you thought about this question, you must know that many items in the small world have never appeared in the big world, if all of a sudden, they circulate in large quantities in the big world, with Dao Yuan's sensitivity to Brother Tian, he will not be unaware of the origin of these items. You business presidents, you may not be able to hide from him. If at that time, Daoyuan persecutes Mr. Shang, I think it will be difficult for Mr. Shang to protect you, it's not impossible, teacher, what do you think?"

To be honest, Han Tao really didn't think about Meng Chan's problem. For a moment, his brows twisted into a ball.

After a while, Han Tao let out a long sigh of turbidity. He said to Meng Chan in a deep voice: "Little Cicada, since you have thought of this situation, you must also have relevant countermeasures, I don't know if I am wrong?"

Meng Chan smiled: "Teacher Han, didn't Brother Tian already tell you yesterday about the so-called countermeasure?"

Han Tao couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't remember that Ding Yi had discussed this issue with him. A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he finally understood the intention of Meng Chan's words.
