Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 6: Creating the first
"Well, His Royal Highness King Qin lifted the cover of the Wuhu War at once. No one can control the civil war in the empire. His Royal Highness King Xiang is also true. Then Cheng Dayou is nothing. , Why bother to attack him at this time, this is good, this grass is thrown into the camp of His Royal Highness King Qin, making His Royal Highness Qin and His Royal Highness King Xiang become violent, and the situation in the five lakes has become so unpredictable. The price of grain in the imperial capital is likely to remain high again." The gentry who spoke was concerned about the price of goods in the imperial capital, the five lakes are the largest material supply base in the imperial capital, once the price of grain rises, the prices of all other things will also rise sharply. Except for some speculators, no one wants to see this situation.
"You can't say that. This Cheng Dayou was originally a remnant of peace. Although he apparently served the empire, he has always obeyed the empire's orders. What's more, Jiujiang is originally a land of five lakes. Since His Royal Highness King Xiang Sealed in five lakes, obviously he would not just sit and watch Jiujiang not being promoted, but he didn't think why His Royal Highness King Qin reacted so strongly. I think this Cheng Dayou may have already surrendered his sincerity to His Royal Highness Qin, so Only then will the conflict between King Qin and King Xiang erupt all of a sudden." The gentry in the hall also understand that His Royal Highness King Qin has great ambitions, and wherever there is an opportunity, his hand will be extended, this time it's good It's easy to get this opportunity, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to let go, it's just that no one can talk nonsense on such a deep level, after all, the western border is powerful now, and there are still troops stationed in the imperial capital. One day His Royal Highness King Qin came to rule the world, wouldn't he be asking for trouble if he said some unpleasant words at this time?
The number of people in the hall gradually increased, and some important guests also began to appear. Tonight is the engagement ceremony of Qin Tiecheng, the second son of the head of the Qin family, and Miao Yao, the third daughter of the Miao family. This is also a marriage between the two major families of the empire. This engagement should have been in the works for a long time, especially the Miao family took pains to facilitate this marriage. Originally, the Miao family had always hoped that Miao Yao could get engaged to Maximi, the second son of Duke Marco of the Huey family. But the Huey family has always held an opposing attitude, which led to the miscarriage of this marriage, and it was only then that the Miao family relied on the Qin family.
As the editor-in-chief of "Business Weekly", Robson will naturally not miss this kind of marriage event of the two great families of the empire, although this event has been affected by the decline of the Miao and Qin forces and the great changes in the Wuhu War , but as a huge family in the centuries-old history of the Aoli Empire, both the Miao family and the Qin family still play a pivotal role in the imperial capital.
And Qin Tiecheng is one of the four famous princes in the high society of the imperial capital, and Miao Yao is the daughter of the Yin family who is enshrined like a jade, not only beautiful and beautiful. What's even more rare is that this woman is quite talented in business. Not only did the Miao family come up with a lot of good ways to adjust the industrial structure after experiencing the iron smelting and mining base being confiscated by the Internal Affairs Department of the Xijiang Dadu Protectorate, but they also took the initiative to go to Qingyang and the Xijiang Dadu Protectorate. Through communication and negotiation with officials of the Administration, it is hoped that the Miao family's equity in these industries can be exchanged in a more reasonable way. This was also supported by Zhu Zimei, who handed her a handkerchief, and the ambiguous relationship between Zhu Zimei and His Highness the Prince of Qin, which was exaggerated by some tabloids, made the officials of the Department of Internal Affairs and the Department of Finance of Xijiang afraid, and dared not categorically refuse Some demands made by the other party.
At the same time, James, the director of the financial department, admired the talent of the third lady of the Miao family. It's just that this involves the property of all parties that has been confiscated, and James doesn't dare to speak casually, otherwise, if he makes an example, then the Xijiang Metropolitan Protectorate will face many legal disputes. In particular, Moran, Director of Legal Affairs, has always been at odds with the Finance Secretary and the bank he is in charge of. The other party finds an excuse, and it is uncertain how many storms will be caused. But even so. Miao Yao's courageous trip to the northwest has also begun to break through the previous layer of ice between the Miao family and Xijiang. In the past, the Xijiang side has always refused to negotiate with the Miao family on this issue. At least now the Xijiang side can accept it and has a position. Signs of loosening, that's a great breakout.
For the editor-in-chief of "Business Weekly", this kind of event cannot be missed, although he is not optimistic about this marriage. The fact that the two came together was more due to the situation. The trade industry that the Qin family relies on for survival has been greatly squeezed with the continuous expansion of the area controlled by Western Xinjiang. The Qin family in the entire western part of the empire has completely lost its market, and is constantly being squeezed out by the newly emerging local business families in Western Xinjiang. The market, which forced the Qin family to focus on opening up new markets in the east, but the East China Sea and Jiangnan had a strong business atmosphere, and the market was already quite saturated. In addition, due to the impact of the situation, the industry and commerce withered, the Qin family could only look at the empire. In addition, developing markets outside the empire requires a lot of money, especially in Doton and Wodi, so the Qin family also hopes to have an ally who has the same idea to share this risk, and at this time it has gone from bad to worse. The Miao family seems to be an acceptable choice. Although the Miao family has suffered huge losses in the empire, after all, it has accumulated a solid foundation in funds and experience in various aspects accumulated over hundreds of years. Maybe the two sides can come together. help each other to get out of the predicament.
Of course, this is just the idea of both parties. In Robson's eyes, this kind of marriage does not have much meaning, because they ignore one of the most important factors, that is, the influence of political factors. All must be established under the current political structure, and as the situation in the five lakes gradually becomes clearer, it is inevitable that Jiangnan and the East China Sea will be affected, and even Yanyun is the same. As for the imperial capital, it is the center of the storm. When it spread to the entire empire, would it tolerate these families who had maintained close ties with Situ Tai and those conservative nobles and had always opposed Xijiang? If the person in power of a family does not even have this bit of political sensitivity, then the family is really quite dangerous. This is the assertion that Robson made to the Miao and Qin families. The old man next to him sincerely agreed.
"It seems that the Qin and Miao families want to downplay the political significance of this marriage, but some people don't seem to want that, um, isn't that coming?" The old man standing next to Robson lifted his chin and looked It fell to the entrance of the hall, and the noble ladies at the door fluctuated for a while, as if a distinguished guest was coming, Robson turned his eyes, "Hmph, I was deceiving myself and others, and now every move in the imperial capital will attract countless people's attention, you I just want to make people believe that you are only marrying for economic benefits, but will someone with a heart see it? At this time, even if you want to get off the ship, I'm afraid they won't let you live in peace."
If Robson's words fell on the ears of outsiders, they would definitely not be able to understand the meaning, but the old man in the indigo robe nodded knowingly: "Hey, the thirteenth princess is going to fight the Miao family and the Qin family. Roasting on the fire, attending this engagement with such a high profile, um, and coming hand in hand with the special envoy of His Highness King Yan, isn't it safe to tie these two families into a chariot?"
"Well, it's really interesting. Look at those members of the Miao family. Their expressions have changed. It's probably because they didn't invite these two uninvited thirteenth princesses and His Royal Highness King Yan. Well, the heads of the two parties Why didn't they show up at this time, what's going on?" Robson looked suspiciously at the back hall with a locked curtain at the back of the hall.
"Father, I suggest that you cancel this marriage immediately, otherwise the gains from my trip to the northwest will be meaningless. Xijiang will definitely think that we are provoking at this time. What's the relationship? They are already tied to a chariot and can't get off. Why do we have to go to this muddy water? Look, the thirteenth princess and the special envoy of His Highness King Yan are here, this is good , What will Xijiang think? Why, is our Miao family also planning to fully support His Royal Highness King Yan?" The cold and harsh words were a bit choking, and the few people sitting beside couldn't help frowning. The one who spoke was a pretty and cowardly girl, who was the current hope of the Miao family, Miao Yao.
"Ayao, isn't it a long time ago to marry the Qin family? Wouldn't it be a little bad to regret it at this time?" An old man sitting beside him said hesitantly.
"Hmph~IndoMTL.com~ It's not so good, it's better than the family being wiped out in the future! The Qin family wants to get rid of King Yan now, but can they get rid of it? Our Miao family must not get involved , you can do business with the Qin family, but you must not marry. The marriage was just an expedient move when the situation was not yet clear. It would be unwise for us to do it now. What's more, Xijiang and our Miao family have already There is hope for reconciliation, why should we refuse? Look at the posture of old fellows Situ Yushuang and Zhuang Lichen, they clearly want to drag our Miao family into trouble, and our Miao family cannot be fooled by this!" Although the girl's appearance Like a weak willow and Xifeng, but his words are so tough.
"That's true. We didn't invite the thirteenth princess, and Zhuang Lichen didn't have much contact with us. To congratulate with such a big fanfare, isn't it just to show that we are on the same line with them, which may bring a lot of trouble. Negative effect." Immediately, someone began to echo.
"Ayao, you mean to let it go first?" The old man sitting in the main seat finally spoke, obviously moved by the other party's words.
"It's not to let it go, it's to cancel it. There is no need to leave any more tails. We can use other methods to make up for offending the Qin family, but leaving a bad impression on Xijiang will make our Miao family even more trouble. "The delicate girl came to a decisive conclusion. Jiangshan Beauty Chronicle, Part 2, Swallowing Thousands of Miles, Chapter 6, Conquering Hegemony, Section 55, How Long Can You Last (2)
