How many businessmen are like Zhong Ronggui who travel to and from multiple countries to do business?
There are so many that are innumerable!
Meng Wenhao, who was rescued by Xiao Lingyue in the bandit village, was from the Dongqi Haishang family. He had multiple caravans in his family and traveled to and from various countries all year round.
Business families like Meng Wenhao are available in every country, and they can't be investigated at all.
Zhong Ronggui's caravan is hidden in these folk caravans, like a leaf hiding into the woods. As long as they are not exposed on their own initiative, the gods will not be found even when they come.
Theoretically, all business matters, including businessmen, national finance, etc., are managed by the Ministry of Revenue.
Even the treasury is in the Ministry of Revenue, which is equivalent to a country's money bag.
Such an important place is usually managed by the emperor or the prince. Emperor Zhaoming had handed over the Ministry of Revenue to the prince before, and Zhan Beihan was even less suitable to intervene.
For these reasons.
The caravan led by Zhong Ronggui has been in peace and hiding in secret, without any notice.
And this time.
If it weren't for the assassination of Xiangguo Temple, the relationship between the Nanyan Assassin and the bandit village in Hulang Mountain would be exposed, and even attracted Zhan Beihan to investigate it personally.
Later, due to the exposure of the bandit camp, a major case of iron ore smuggling was led to a search of the imperial tomb. Zhan Beihan followed the clues and found the imperial tomb.
Zhong Ronggui's caravan may not be exposed!
In other words, it was not the exposure of the caravan, but the exposure of the bandit village that implicated the caravan, which led to Zhong Ronggui's arrest.
When Xiao Lingyue thought of this, she couldn't help but feel shocked.
It's really a link!
No wonder the bandit village in Hulang Mountain was able to smuggle iron ore for five years under the nose of the capital, but no one discovered it.
The levels in this have been opened long ago.
pity.
Even if the calculation is too precise, it can ensure that everything is foolproof.
But it is precisely because of excessive precision, just like precise gears, as long as one of the rings has problems, the entire layout will be messed up and it is easier to be caught by people by following the clues.
This is probably because there are gains and losses!
"Brother and sister?"
King Xiang's voice rang in his ears.
Xiao Lingyue came back to her senses and looked at him silently: "Your Highness Xiang, can you stop calling me like that?"
It sounds so weird.
"What are you calling your brother and sister, Miss Xiao?"
King Xiang said exaggeratedly: "Give me aside, my third brother will glar to death if he knows."
Xiao Lingyue: "Forget it."
She brought the topic back again: "I reached a deal with Zhong Ronggui, the leader of the caravan. This small map was handed over by him. According to his explanation, there was one such small map, the caravan and the delivery party each.
Every transaction is made using maps to define locations.”
King Xiang suddenly realized: "No wonder they just need to send a piece of white paper! If they accidentally fall into the hands of outsiders, as long as there is no same topographic map, no one can guess the real delivery location."
"That's right." Xiao Lingyue nodded.
The topographic maps in the hands of the caravan and the delivery man are reduced in proportion according to the topographic map of the county government.
In duplicate.
Even if someone gets the letter paper, it is useless to compare it with the county government’s big map.
Because the map sizes are different, the ink dots on the letter paper cannot correspond to the correct position at all, so naturally the real delivery point cannot be found.
"These people have racked their brains to smuggle iron ore and not be caught!"
King Xiang sneered: "It's a pity that a wise man will make a mistake in his every attempt. If he dares to do such a thing, he will have to pay a price sooner or later!"
