Chapter 3613 There is no free lunch
After hearing Mr. Liu's last question, Zhang Kuang and Zhang Kuang quickly stood up from their chairs again.
"Your Majesty, I have no objections."
"Your Majesty, I second the proposal."
Liu Mingzhi chuckled and nodded, turning sideways to look at Zhang Kuang who was getting up. Nangong Ye and the other two waved their hands casually.
"Oh, you two don't have to get up all the time. Keep sitting. Sit down quickly."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Zhang Kuang and Zhang Kuang sat down again, Young Master Liu looked away with a smile and raised his eyes again to the sky with drizzle falling.
"Two uncles, since you two have no objections.
Then, after the Joint Chamber of Commerce is truly established, the two of you will follow what the rest of us said today and gradually implement it."
"Yes, I obey my orders."
"Okay, I obey my orders."
Crich glanced at Zhang Kuang and Zhang Kuang with a thoughtful look in his eyes. After a slight hesitation on his face, he stood up from the chair and walked slowly towards Young Master Liu.
When he walked to Young Master Liu's side, he hugged Young Master Liu with a slightly nervous look.
"Mr. Liu."
When Liu Mingzhi heard this, he responded with a loud voice without moving his neck.
"Krich, what's wrong?"
"Mr. Liu, I have a question. I wonder whether I should answer it or not?"
Hearing the polite words, Mr. Liu's lips raised a faint smile, and he continued to watch the wind and rain in the sky calmly.
"Brother Crich, it's okay to say so!"
"Mr. Liu, it's like this.
Nowadays, both the Dashi Kingdom and the Tianzhu Kingdom are under the control of your Great Dragon Celestial Dynasty.
Under such a situation, I will wait until I open joint branches in various cities in the two countries, Dashi Kingdom and Tianzhu Kingdom.
Zhang Shuai and Nangong Shuai can indeed send orders to the generals in each city at any time to dispatch a group of troops as soon as possible to protect the security of the Chamber of Commerce branch.
There is not much to say about this.
However, as far as I know below.
Currently, in addition to the Kingdom of Dashi, the Kingdom of Tianzhu, and my hometown of Rome, these three countries have your dragon's troops stationed there.
In the other countries such as Persia, Prussia, White Food, etc., you don’t have your dragon troops stationed in their territory now!
Without soldiers and horses to garrison, it means that there are no troops to mobilize.
In this way, if I open branches of the Chamber of Commerce in Persia and Frankish countries in the future, even if Zhang Shuai and the others deliberately plan to dispatch troops to protect the safety of the Chamber of Commerce, they seem to be unable to do anything, right?"
Liu Mingzhi finally lowered his neck, which had been raised for a long time, and turned to look at Krich standing next to him with a faint smile.
"Brother Creech, besides this question, do you have any other questions?"
Creech shook his head without hesitation.
"Mr. Hui Liu, no more. I only have this problem."
Seeing Krich's decisive answer, Mr. Liu smiled and nodded.
"Brother Krich, regarding your question.
I think, young master, it would be better to let Zhang Shuai and Nangong Shuai give you an answer."
As Young Master Liu spoke, he turned slightly with a smile on his face and looked directly at Zhang Kuang and Nangong Ye who were sitting a few steps away.
Seeing this, Krich quickly raised his feet and took a small step back, then immediately turned around and looked at Zhang Kuang and the other two.
"Uncles, you two must have heard the question Brother Crich just asked, right?"
When Nangong Ye heard Young Master Liu's question, he immediately nodded to Young Master Liu and Krich, who were looking at them a few steps away, with smiles on their faces.
"Return to your majesty, I heard this."
"Your Majesty, I heard this too."
"Now that you two have heard it, you might as well talk to Brother Crich now.
In the future, when he opens chamber of commerce branches in Persia and Frankish countries, will you two be able to mobilize troops in time to protect the safety of the chamber of commerce branches?"
As soon as Young Master Liu said these words, Zhang Kuang and Nangong Ye immediately turned around and looked at each other.
Shao Qing, Nangong Ye cheerfully waved his hand at Zhang Kuang.
"Brother Zhang, you are more familiar with the situation in the Western countries surrounding Dashi Country than I am.
Therefore, it’s up to you to answer Father Creech’s question.”
Zhang Kuang nodded happily and responded, then immediately stood up and walked straight towards Liu and Young Master.
"Hehehe, hehehe.
Brother Creech, you have nothing to worry about in this regard.
After the United Chamber of Commerce is fully established, when you plan to open a branch somewhere in the Western countries in the future, you only need to send someone to inform me in advance.
As for the following series of problems, I will take care of them for you, brother."
Seeing Zhang Kuang's extremely confident look, Krich instinctively frowned slightly.
Immediately, he looked at the smiling Zhang Kuang and asked doubtfully: "Zhang Shuai, is what you said true?"
After nodding arrogantly and noncommittally, he cheerfully raised his hand and stroked his gray beard a few times.
"Hehehe, brother Krich.
When it comes to business matters, I always say one thing and two things.
If I say there is no problem, then there is no problem."
Hearing the arrogant and affirmative tone, Kerridge looked excited and nodded vigorously.
"Okay, okay, I understand, I understand.
If that's the case, then I won't have any problems."
Young Master Liu rolled his eyes thoughtfully, raised his arms and hugged his chest with a smile.
At the same time, his wrist was very flexible and he gently swung the Wanli Jiangshan carved jade fan in his hand.
"Uncle, how do you plan to proceed with this matter?
"Reporting to your Majesty, Sir, I have already thought about it just now.
As long as your majesty and brother Crich have formally reached cooperation and determined all the relevant matters for the establishment of the joint chamber of commerce.
At that time, the United Chamber of Commerce had just been established, and I, the veteran, immediately sent people to the palaces of Prussia, White Clothes, and other countries.
Then, discuss in detail with the kings of each country a series of issues regarding our Dalong's plan to station small-scale troops and horses in their territories."
Young Master Liu casually and gently shook off the jade fan in his hand, and an imperceptible smile flashed quickly deep in his eyes.
very good.
All future problems will be carried out in an orderly and gradual manner according to my previous ideas.
"Uncle, according to the current situation, it is not a simple matter to suddenly have to enter the country to station troops.
Can you handle it over there?"
An arrogant glance glanced at Creech, whose expression gradually turned suspicious. With a smile on his old face, he casually put down the palm of his hand that was stroking his gray beard.
"Your Majesty, sir, I believe they will agree."
Liu Mingzhi listened to Zhang Kuang's loud words and nodded gently with a smile on his face.
"Okay, okay, if that's the case, then I'm relieved, young master."
After Liu Mingzhi finished speaking, he suddenly turned his eyes towards Krich with a smile on his face.
"Brother Crich."
Krich, who was murmuring uneasily to himself, heard Young Master Liu suddenly greeting him, and quickly reacted, turning his eyes to look at Young Master Liu.
"Hey, are you there, Mr. Liu?"
"Brother Krich, did you hear what Zhang Shuai said just now?"
"Mr. Hui Liu, I heard you."
Liu Mingzhi chuckled and nodded, casually shook off the jade fan in his hand, raised his feet and walked straight to the chair he was sitting on just now.
Arrogant and Krich saw this and quickly set off to follow.
Young Master Liu sat on the chair behind him with an indifferent expression. While gently shaking the jade fan in his hand, he raised his left arm and waved to the two of them with a smile.
"Uncle, Brother Krich, you two should stop standing. Please sit down."
"Okay, thank you Your Majesty."
"Okay, okay, thank you Mr. Liu."
Looking at the two people who sat down on the chairs one after another, Liu Mingzhi gently smacked his lips twice, first turned his head with a smile and glanced away from Climmon's face, and then stopped at Qi Mimen's face.
On Yun's pretty face.
"Yun'er, my husband, I've been talking for so long all at once, and I'm a little stuttered.
You should rush to brother Crich's room right now and bring me a cup of tea to my husband."
As Young Master Liu's cheerful words fell, before Qi Yun had time to respond, Climmon stood up from the chair and immediately ran towards the room behind everyone.
And go.
As he trotted, he answered loudly the words that Young Master Liu had said to Qi Yun before.
"Aunt Liu, you sit down, you sit down, and my nephew can just go and pour the tea.
Uncle Liu, please wait a moment, my nephew, I will be back soon."
Qi Yun looked at the figure of Climmon running into the room quickly, and looked back with a helpless expression. She smiled lightly and lightly shrugged her shoulders at her husband.
"Husband, you see, this is not my concubine. I don't want to pour you tea."
Liu Mingzhi gently shook the jade fan in his hand and waved at Qi Yun happily.
"Hey, it's the same no matter who goes. It's the same no matter who goes."
While Mr. and Mrs. Liu were talking and laughing, Climmon held a tray with several cups of tea in his hands and quickly returned from the room.
Climmon trotted all the way to Young Master Liu's side, and then handed the tray with tea to Young Master Liu with a respectful expression.
"Uncle Liu, please have tea."
Liu Mingzhi raised his brows, smiled and nodded, then reached out and picked up a cup of tea that had been cooling for a long time from the tray.
"Haha, good, good, good, Mi Meng, thank you for your hard work."
"I don't dare, I don't dare. It's my nephew's responsibility."
Young Master Liu smiled lightly, first closed the jade fan in his hand and gently pinned it to the collar behind his neck, then raised the tea cup in his hand and put it directly into his mouth.
Upon seeing this, Climmon immediately walked towards Qi Yun with a wink.
"Aunt Liu, please have tea too."
"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work."
"It should, it should."
Soon, when Qi Yun picked up a cup of tea, Klimimeng quickly walked towards Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, and his father.
"Shuai Zhang, Shuai Nangong, please have tea."
"Dad, please drink tea too."
"OK."
Zhang Kuang and the other three responded one after another with smiles on their faces, and then each picked up a cup of tea.
Klimimeng let out a silent sigh and walked towards Liu Song and the other two people calmly.
"Three uncles, please have tea too."
Liu Song, Du Yu, and Sun Mingfeng looked at the three cups of herbal tea left on the tray, and a look of surprise flashed in each other's eyes.
Liu Mingzhi quickly looked up and down at Klimimeng in front of him, and his eyes involuntarily showed a hint of admiration.
"It's time to work."
"Yes, yes, you three uncles, please have tea."
In an instant, the three cups of tea on the tray held by Crimimon fell into the hands of Liu Song and the others.
Liu Mingzhi lowered his head and gently spit out the tea leaves on the tip of his tongue, then smiled and squinted his eyes sideways to look at Krich who seemed a little distracted.
"Brother Crich."
Krich's arm trembled slightly, and he quickly put down the teacup that was held in the air in front of him, and turned around to look at Mr. Liu.
"Excuse me, Mr. Liu?"
Regarding Creech's reaction and behavior at this time, there was no trace of surprise in Mr. Liu's eyes.
It was as if he had already known that Creech would have such a reaction.
Liu Mingzhi let out a silent breath, gently moved the tea lid in his hand, and continued to watch the rain scene in the courtyard with deep eyes.
However, before we met, the rain seemed to have become heavier again!
well!
Liu Mingzhi sighed silently in his heart and frowned instinctively.
Judging from the current rain intensity, this autumn rain that started last night will not continue to rain for another day, right?
"call."
Liu Mingzhi breathed out quietly and quickly put aside the messy emotions in his mind.
"Brother Crich, there is a saying in our Dalong that is very good.
In this world, there is never a free lunch.
Come to think of it, not only on our side of the Great Dragon Celestial Empire, but also on your side in the Western countries should have the same words.
Of course, our Dalong Celestial Dynasty may have different opinions from the Western countries.
However, there are many things in this world that are similar.
Although the words are slightly different, the underlying meaning should not be much different."
