"Babao Trading Company does not belong to any country."
“Don’t interfere in the feuds between nations.”
"If it weren't for Junior Brother, I wouldn't have said anything more."
Wan Sanqian smiled.
Babao Trading Company is a neutral force.
So far, it has not publicly supported any country.
The principle we adhere to is to earn money from whoever has it!
As long as you have money, you can buy anything.
But they don't know.
The real owner of Babao Trading Company is Ning Que!
Use the footprints of trading companies to spy on the situation in various countries.
For example, topographic maps that can be used for military purposes!
Wan Sanqian looked at the martial arts training ground in the distance.
"As far as I know, the Liao Kingdom started preparing last year."
"Exchange livestock, furs, and other items for armor, soldiers, and food."
"In the first half of the year, the Liao Kingdom found me."
"Continue to stockpile armor and weapons at high prices."
"Especially duck feathers for arrows."
"Xiao Ning, what do you think they want to do?"
"Stand up the troops and prepare for battle!"
Ning Que's eyes were cold and he spoke in a deep voice.
"That's right." Wan Sanqian smiled and nodded. "When I left Liao, King Yelü Hongzhen had already ordered his troops to be deployed in the northern part of the country. I sent someone to notify the Duke of Yanmen Pass."
"So it was you who notified me?"
Chang Baicao was stunned for a moment.
He usually stayed out of politics, immersed in his medical skills. He was determined to write a medical book, recording all the herbs in the world for the benefit of the people. However, he did occasionally get some news.
Feng Wuzhe had previously sent an express message eight hundred miles away.
It is said that after receiving secret information, the Liao Kingdom began to deploy its troops.
That's why Emperor Feng wanted to negotiate peace with Xiliang.
The purpose is to withdraw from the western frontier.
Unexpectedly, this notification was sent by Babao Trading Company?
"Shh-"
"I still have to do business in the future."
Wan Sanqian laughed triumphantly.
He actually did all this for Ning Que.
In principle, Babao Trading Company only does business.
They will not interfere in disputes between countries.
However, Ning Que grasped the principles.
They have helped Ning Que a lot over the years.
"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother."
"It's just a matter of convenience."
Wan Sanqian stroked his beard and whispered, "Let me tell you, Yelu Hongzhen is no pushover. I met him when I was in the capital. He's incredibly ambitious. Since he succeeded the Liao king, he's annexed over ten major tribes across the grasslands. He even defeated and destroyed the Liao's old enemy, the Western Xia."
"Yelü Hongzhen knew how to use people and was respectful to the virtuous. He treated talented people with great courtesy. I once encountered a Xixia general who was captured by Yelü Hongzhen. He was unwilling to surrender to the Liao Kingdom and wanted revenge. But Yelü Hongzhen didn't kill him, but instead released him. The Xixia general tried to assassinate him three times, but he let him go each time. In the end, the Xixia general completely surrendered."
"Good trick!"
Ning Que couldn't help but express his praise.
No one who can become an emperor is a good person.
Both the mental cunning and sophistication are of the highest level.
Does Yelu Hong really not want to kill the Xixia generals?
He thought!
But it is more valuable for Xixia generals to be alive!
First of all, it can demonstrate one's own benevolence.
Secondly, it can also calm the anger of Western Xia.
As long as the generals were alive, many Xixia people would surrender.
This is more beneficial to the Liao Kingdom.
"The generals deployed in the northern part of the country this time are from Western Xia."
"You can imagine how confident Yelu Hong really is to be so bold as to employ a surrendered general."
"They started preparing last year."
"I think we'll attack Yanmen Pass soon."
"If Yanmen Pass is breached, the northern gate of Dafeng will be opened. What do you think the Liao Kingdom will do? By then, the entire northern border will be engulfed in war, with countless lives lost..."
"Thank you for the reminder, brother."
Ning Que smiled.
Senior brother did bring a lot of information.
Fortunately, Dafeng is not a vegetarian either.
The Liao Kingdom deployed its troops, and Dafeng also drew troops.
It remains to be seen who will win.
Chang Baicao frowned.
"Then what is the purpose of the Liao Kingdom sending envoys?"
"Probably to get information."
Ning Que whispered softly.
The Liao Kingdom sent envoys under the banner of celebrating the Queen Mother's birthday, but in reality, they were probably here to gather intelligence. Of course, no matter what the outcome, the Liao Kingdom would definitely attack.
"That's none of my business."
"I'm a businessman and have no interest in state affairs."
"I'm holding an auction this time, and I have quite a few treasures."
"Xiao Ning, do you want to pick some?"
"It's the Queen Mother's birthday, so it can be used as a birthday gift."
"No need." Ning Que laughed. "Public affairs are public affairs, private affairs are private affairs. Besides, I've already prepared birthday gifts, so I'll keep them and sell them for profit. It's just as well that Senior Brother rarely comes to Chang'an, so you can take out some of my dividends over the years. As you can see, I've already established three guards, and the daily expenses are not low."
"no problem."
Wan Sanqian did not hesitate.
He has no interest in money.
He does business just to enjoy the process.
So far, I don’t know how much money I have.
To him, it's just a string of numbers.
Back in Kunlun Mountain, Ning Que had also been very interested in business, often discussing it with him in his spare time. Many of his ideas amazed him. For example, share dividends, a bank that could deposit, withdraw, and borrow money... It was these ideas that quickly made Babao Trading Company a top chaebol!
"Senior Brother." Ning Que looked him over and whispered, "Do you have any news on the matter I asked you to help investigate earlier?"
"Don't mention it, there's no clue at all." Wan Sanqian also sighed, "I sent people to Xiliang to inquire, but the locals are very secretive about the old King Ning's affairs. I once saved a Xiliang nobleman, and he seemed to know something about the inside story. I wanted him to help, but he committed suicide..."
