Luo Ningxin had heard of the name of this chamber of commerce.
This chamber of commerce was made famous by Saibei Kuangdao Jianglong.
Jiang Long is known as the best swordsman in Saibei. His swordsmanship has reached its peak. He is the third-ranked master in Saibei. No one dares to compete with him in swordsmanship.
In recent years, the Great Yan Dynasty has had business relationships with major empires. The imperial court also supports commercial trade and exchanges between many countries, which is of great benefit to improving people's livelihood and increasing tax revenue for the treasury.
Most chambers of commerce and businessmen will abide by the rules, but some people are just restless and always do things like killing people and stealing goods.
There is no mercy for such people!
What Luo Ningxin didn't expect was that the Shenlong Chamber of Commerce would dare to ride on the imperial court!
Luo Ning thought: "Your Excellency, envoy, I will send people to escort merchant ships along the way, all the way to the border of the Xijin Empire, to ensure the safe arrival of the goods."
Hu Yanzhuo thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Luo Ningxin added: "Since the black powder was stolen by people from Saibei, the Shenlong Chamber of Commerce will definitely find a way to transport the black powder to Saibei."
"Dayan is a long way from Saibei. It takes at least forty days to reach it, and there are many checkpoints to go out. We will definitely be able to recover the lost goods."
A large amount of black powder was robbed and must not be transported to Saibei!
Hu Yanzhuo thought for a while and said: "The Shenlong Chamber of Commerce operates various businesses. It would not be difficult if they packed the black powder separately and transported it through other goods to hide the eyes and ears of others."
"Furthermore, most people don't know black powder at all. The officers and soldiers who inspected it will definitely not recognize it. If you want to stop the Shenlong Chamber of Commerce, you will be in great trouble."
Hu Yanzhuo has also done business with Dayan in recent years, and he knows the Shenlong Chamber of Commerce very well.
It is not difficult to break the black powder into parts and transport them out. There is no way to recover them.
Moreover, black powder is inherently a secret and cannot be shared with everyone.
Blocking all businesses of the Shenlong Chamber of Commerce? This is unrealistic. It will waste a lot of manpower and financial resources, and if there is no evidence, it cannot be forcibly blocked, otherwise it will cause dissatisfaction among many merchants.
If there is no evidence to attack a large foreign chamber of commerce, what will other foreign chambers of commerce think?
Who dares to do business in the Great Yan Dynasty?
It is even more unrealistic to block all routes to Saibei. The Shenlong Chamber of Commerce can completely take other routes, transfer the goods to other countries, and then transport them back.
The most important thing is that transportation in ancient times was not developed. The incident happened five days ago, and Hu Yanzhuo had just received the news.
In five days, the Shenlong Chamber of Commerce may have already arranged everything!
In other words, they came just for the black powder!
This matter has been planned and implemented by the Shenlong Chamber of Commerce for a long time!
Is there no other way?
Fang Chen thought for a while and said: "Losing some black powder is not a big deal. If they want to use black powder to research weapons, they can't do it without years of research."
"Since the Shenlong Chamber of Commerce dares to challenge the majesty of our Great Yan Dynasty, Your Majesty, please give an order to completely ban the Shenlong Chamber of Commerce!"
"If you can't do it openly, let's do it secretly. Leave these matters to me."
How dare you steal the gunpowder I worked so hard to develop!
It’s simply courting death!
Fang Chen must make the Shenlong Chamber of Commerce pay the price.
Hu Yanzhuo said: "Master Fang, this is a good idea. I heard that the president of the Shenlong Chamber of Commerce, Saibei Kuangdao Jianglong, is near the imperial capital."
This news is extremely important!
To capture the thief, capture the king first. As long as Jiang Long is taken care of, the black powder issue can definitely be solved.
But here comes the question, since Jiang Long got the black powder, why did he stay near the imperial capital?
Luo Ning thought for a while and said: "Master Fang, since Jiang Long is in the Imperial Capital, you should go find him first and test out his purpose of coming to the Imperial Capital. Use your method to resolve this black powder incident."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Fang Chen accepted the order.
After the matter was settled, Fang Chen and Hu Yanzhuo left together.
On the way, Hu Yanzhuo thanked Fang Chen profusely, giving him business, giving them black powder, and now he is helping to investigate this matter.
Hu Yanzhuo really wanted to win over Fang Chen and become brothers!
The two chatted for a while, and Hu Yanzhuo handed over some information about the Shenlong Chamber of Commerce to Fang Chen.
The Shenlong Chamber of Commerce has more than a dozen businesses in major cities in the Great Yan Dynasty. They mainly deal in antique jewelry, and also provide escorts and handle various escort businesses.
Jewelry and antiques are very profitable industries!
The development of Shenlong Chamber of Commerce over the years, coupled with the reputation of Saibei Kuangdao, has made Shenlong Chamber of Commerce the number one chamber of commerce in Saibei!
It is difficult to deal with the Shenlong Chamber of Commerce.
As for Jiang Long's strength, it is rumored that he is an eighth-grade warrior!
Fang Chen was very surprised after getting this information.
However, Fang Chen is not afraid, there are also eighth-level masters around him.
After talking about this, Hu Yanzhuo took out some banknotes and gave them to Fang Chen.
"Master Fang, this is a hundred thousand taels of silver note, please keep it."
Fang Chen was stunned, he knew that Hu Yanzhuo was bribing him.
Hu Yanzhuo said: "Master Fang, you have done so many things for us. This money is what you should get. I also know that you are definitely not short of such a small amount of money, but this is my heart, little brother."
Fang Chen is indeed not short of money, and his soap factory has been making profits.
After the textile factory is built and put into large-scale production, it will soon make a profit!
Moreover, penicillin has been produced, and Fang Chen is making money every day!
One hundred thousand taels is just a small thing to Fang Chen now.
Fang Chen accepted the money without hesitation and said: "Since it is Master Huyan's wish, I will accept it."
That's how doing business is, if you take other people's money, you're one of your own.
Tied to a boat.
Afterwards, both parties said goodbye, Hu Yanzhuo left the palace, and Fang Chen went to Kunning Palace.
As long as Fang Chen is in the palace, he has to report to His Majesty and the Queen at two o'clock and one line almost every day.
"Xiao Chenzi, you are here."
Lu Caihuang had been waiting for a long time. She brought Fang Chen into the room and the two talked in secret.
What happened in the past few days was thrilling. Fang Chen reported many things to Lu Caihuang.
Of course, he can say what should be said, but he won't say a word of what shouldn't be said.
The assassination and frame-up made Lu Caihuang extremely angry.
"The Bai family is really ungrateful and goes too far. Fortunately, Xiao Chenzi resolved all the crises."
"But you have to remember that the Bai family will definitely take full revenge later, and things will only get worse and worse, and they will eventually fight to the death."
"Whatever you do next, you must be careful. If you have any intelligence or information, you must report it to me in time. Or if you tell Yang Zhuo, he will notify me, and I will definitely assist you with all my strength!"
Lu Caihuang was very worried about Fang Chen's safety.
Fang Chen said: "Thank you so much for your love!"
Lu Caihuang added: "Also, when dealing with the Shenlong Chamber of Commerce, we can't rush it. We must do it step by step."
"We can put this matter on hold for a while and investigate Jiang Long secretly before making any plans."
The Bai family's matter has not been resolved, and now the Shenlong Chamber of Commerce's matter has arisen, which is a headache.
Fang Chen nodded: "Madam, I have my own sense of discretion."
