Through Time Chapter 183

Two days later, Zhao Lang finally got a negative answer from Xiaoyu.

It was also true that there was no such thing as a coincidence.

“Ugh, I hope she’s alright. ”

Zhao Lang sighed for a moment, imagine a woman, encountering something like this.

It must be a great torture.

If he hadn’t been drugged, he wouldn’t have done such a beastly thing.

Just as Zhao Lang was sighing, Wang Cai ran over with gusto at this time and said

“My lord, there is a merchant called Shang Yan’er outside the Zhuangzi with a lot of money, saying that he wants to see you.”

“Hmm.”

Zhao Lang answered indifferently.

“You go and take the money and let her go.”

Wangcai froze for a moment and said that

“My lord, you’re not going to meet?”

He looked to see that the uncommon businesswoman seemed to have quite a fondness for his own Duke, ah.

“Not seeing.”

Zhao Lang said indifferently.

Wangcai left at once, and Zhao Lang slowly lay down, looking at the people in the manor, either busy with training or studying.

This feeling was fulfilling and leisurely.

In a few days his holiday would be over, and it was rare to have such a relaxing time.

It wasn’t long after he had laid down that Wang Cai came over in a hurry again.

“My lord, that Shang Yan’er said that she had a big deal to talk to you about, saying that it would be absolutely to your satisfaction.”

“Big business?”

Zhao Lang couldn’t help but laugh a little, to him, what could the merchants of the Great Qin have that could be called big business?

After the information explosion era in his previous life, to Zhao Lang, two or three hundred million dollars, that was just a trivial matter at the drop of a hat.

So dryly, he returned.

“No see!”

Trying to corrupt him with money, it doesn’t exist.

At once, Wang Cai left in a hurry once again.

Just when Zhao Lang wanted to indulge in that comfort again, Wangcai ran over again and

“My lord, she said…”

This time, Zhao Lang was a little annoyed.

“If you say you won’t see it, you won’t see it, even if it’s a 10,000 taels of gold a year business!”

Wangcai froze for a moment and said that

“My lord, she said twenty thousand taels.”

Zhao Lang was stunned, stood up from his recliner, looked at Wang Cai and said

“Lead the way!”

Wangcai froze this time.

“What are you still standing there for? Hurry up!”

Does money matter?

Of course it does!

Zhao Long knew in his heart that he had expanded his power so quickly.

Eighty percent of it was piled up with money!

Cultivating his team, recruiting talents, developing his farming family, supporting Elder Qin… Which of these does not require money?

And to have 20,000 taels of gold a year is definitely a big entry!

At Zhao Lang’s urging, the two arrived at the front door of the manor.

Shang Yan’er had been waiting here for a long time.

When the two met, Shang Yan’er looked at Zhao Lang and bowed at once, and

“Greetings, gongzi. ”

This time she did not address the general.

Zhao Lang returned the salute, and then spoke to

“It was my housekeeper who was rude just now, and actually did not even announce that Miss Shang had arrived.”

“Come on, please come in.”

Shang Yan’er’s face did not show any displeasure as she smiled and said

“It is the little lady who has been abrupt.”

The two of them made their way into the hall as if the few refusals they had just made did not exist.

It was just that Wang Cai looked at Zhao Lang with a few sly glances.

“I wonder, what kind of business is Miss Shang talking about?”

Zhao Lang asked as he got right to the point.

If it wasn’t for the 20,000 taels of gold, he wouldn’t have met the other party.

So it was good to be direct.

Shang Yan’er looked at Zhao Lang’s profit-oriented look, but a few moments of closeness surfaced in her heart for some reason.

She quickly understood.

It was the nature of a businessman to be profit-oriented!

They are the same kind of people!

“I’m sure your Excellency is aware that the Great Qin itself emphasises agriculture and suppresses commerce, which is why merchants like us have set our sights on the outside…”

Shang Yan’er quickly explained the situation.

Zhao Lang slightly summarised the essence of Shang Yan’er’s plan, which was in four words, the union of military and merchants.

It wasn’t as if Shang Yan’er and the others hadn’t looked for others.

Either they didn’t have the guts, or they didn’t have the strength.

He was just right and had the gift of saving his life.

The other merchants agreed.

“I wonder what the Duke would like?”

Shang Yan’er looked at Zhao Lang and said, this was the plan she had made after so many days, uniting with the other merchant caravans.

What happened last time had shown them that they needed a protector.

Zhao Lang was an excellent choice.

“The deal with the Hu, Goguryeo, could provide 20,000 taels of gold a year.”

“If not, the little woman can make up for it.”

Zhao Long gave Shang Yan’er a look, a ruthless person.

How dare she gamble!

Zhao Lang revealed a smile and said

“I can ask for less, but on one condition, my caravan will join you.”

Goguryeo’s caravan had been captured by Zhang Han and he would have to find other ways.

Shang Yan’er was slightly surprised for a moment, and then returned that

“Just as the Duke says.”

Zhao Lang nodded his head at once and said dryly that

“Then it is a deal.”

“Wangcai, see off the guests!”

Shang Yan’er was not annoyed either, leaving Zhao Lang with a smile before leaving.

As a merchant, she had plenty of patience.

Besides, there was a long time to come.

After sending Shang Yan’er away, Zhao Lang went back to enjoying a rare moment of leisure.

A few days later, after arranging the affairs of the manor house, Zhao Lang set off on his way back to the Great Wall border with the few newcomers from before.

The border of the Great Wall in Liaodong County.

The folk were hard at work, only slightly different from before in that everyone’s face, although still tired, was free of the despair they had felt before.

Meng Tian was standing on a high slope, looking down, when suddenly he spoke with a slight frown.

“This progress in building the Great Wall seems a bit fast?”

He remembered that when he first arrived here, it was still flat land, but less than a month had passed.

As far as the eye could see, a few short sections of the wall had risen.

The progress was amazing.

But it wasn’t all good, the

“Don’t be too hard on the folk, it’s not good to do too much damage.”

Liaodong could not afford another round of conquest, and he had heard that even old women and young children had to go down to the ground in Liaodong County these days.

He could not understand why His Majesty, who had always been wise, was so furious this time.

The bearded general on the side returned with a smile.

“Great General, please don’t worry, the folk are fine, the food is coarse but filling.”

“Everyone wants to finish their work and get back to farming.”

At once, the bearded man told the story of the one-wheeled cart and the grain.

When Meng Tian heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said that

“The folk have a ration of grain, what if there is not enough?”

The bearded man spoke with disinterest, and

“That boy Zhao Lang has said that he will make up for what is not enough.”

“Hey, he’s a big family man.”

Hearing these words, Meng Tian revealed a hint of coldness instead.

“Where is Zhao Lang now?”

The bearded man said, somewhat inexplicably

“Great General, didn’t you tell him to go back for half a month?”

“But counting the time, he should be back today.”

Meng Tian nodded his head and said that

“When you see him, tell him to come and see me.”

Then he turned to leave.

The bearded man answered, but was somewhat puzzled.

When he returned to the barracks, he happened to meet Zhao Lang, who was returning from his horse

“Zhao Lang, the great general has something to ask of you.”

Zhao Lang, somewhat baffled, arrived at the tent of the great general, and only when he entered did Meng Tian speak in a cold voice, saying

“Men, take it down!”

Before Zhao Lang could react, he was grabbed by two armoured soldiers by both arms.

Meng Tian spoke with a black face at this time, saying

“Zhao Lang, do you know your crime!”
