Marriage Alliance

Developing industry in an agrarian society was no easy task.

Qin Yan rubbed his head, even though he was creating all sorts of things with an almost superhuman ability.

But that still can't change the fact that this is an agricultural society.

Although the combat power in this world is a bit excessive, it's still troublesome.

The steel plant had only just been established.

Everything is in its initial stage; a long journey begins with a single step.

"My lord, we've found the kind of black oil you mentioned."

Qin Xiaoyi rushed over to report and handed a letter to Qin Yan.

"Real!"

Qin Yan's face lit up with surprise, and he quickly opened the envelope and carefully examined it.

"Since it's right next to Jiu'an Prefecture, could you bring the actual items?"

"Have!"

Qin Xiaoyi immediately answered and handed over a jar.

Qin Yan took the jar, opened the stopper, and a thick, black liquid instantly floated out.

I sniffed the scent with the tip of my nose.

This tastes authentic.

"Buy me this land at all costs!"

Qin Yan's tone was extremely serious.

"Our people have already negotiated with the Lineage that owns that land, and upon hearing that it is you, they are willing to give it to you free of charge!"

Qin Xiaoyi immediately spoke.

"Without any conditions."

Qin Yan frowned slightly.

"If you count them, there really is one!"

Qin Xiaoyi said with a half-smile.

Seeing the other person's expression, Qin Yan raised an eyebrow. "Tell me!"

"The other party's surname is Jiang, and they are from a prominent Lineage in Jiu'an Prefecture. The Lineage has been in business for generations."

The Yong'an Commerce Association of the Dali Dynasty belonged to his family.

"It is the Yong'an Commerce Association, one of the three major chambers of commerce in the Dali Dynasty."

Qin Yan was somewhat surprised!

This is a truly wealthy Lineage, possessing astonishing riches.

"Good!"

Qin Xiaoyi said, "The Jiang Family Lineage hopes that you, eldest son, will marry their eldest daughter."

They even said, "If you agree, the entire Jiang Family will fully support you!"

"I...!"

Qin Yan pointed to himself, quite surprised, then frowned.

"Eldest brother, you're almost sixteen now, it's time to think about marriage!"

If a marriage alliance could be formed, it would be of great help to you.

The Jiang Family's business spans the entire Great Li Dynasty, making it much easier for you to find whatever you're looking for.

Qin Xiaoyi couldn't help but offer some advice.

Qin Yan shook his head slightly. Although he was almost sixteen, which was the age of coming of age in this world.

Many scions of prominent families have already married and had children by this age.

It's normal to have needs from women.

He needs to get married, but he doesn't want to get married so soon!

The things he's going to do in the future will definitely be earth-shattering, and marrying into a Lineage too early is not what he wants to do.

He'll consider these things after he succeeds.

He's too young now; even if he wanted to get married, he'd wait a few more years before thinking about it.

Now is the perfect age to build a career.

To think that he could be tied to the Jiang Family's warship just because of a piece of land is to underestimate him.

Although the Jiang Family is well-off, he has more than 80 million taels of silver in his hands.

"Tell the Jiang Family that I will buy that land at a high price, plus a favor from them."

Qin Yan thought for a moment and then gave the order!

"Yes!" Qin Xiaoyi nodded helplessly and immediately took his leave.

"What do you mean I don't want to!"

The Jiang Family of Jiu'an Prefecture!

When Jiang Daozhen from the Lineage read the contents of the letter, he couldn't help but frown. He hadn't expected Qin Yan to refuse so decisively.

"Second brother, third brother, what do you think of this matter?"

"Hmm, this Qin Yan is really showing far too little respect for our Jiang Family."

Jiang Daoxi, the second master of the Jiang Family, immediately expressed his dissatisfaction!

"Qin Yan is a man with great ambitions; just look at what he did in Youshan Prefecture."

He wiped out all kinds of demons, evil spirits, and bandits, and the people lived in peace and happiness.

His influence in Youshan Prefecture was unparalleled. When many people had grievances, their first thought was not to go to the government, but to go to him, the Youshan Marquis!

The key point is that he will actually send people to inquire and put pressure on the local authorities!

In particular, the number of disciples at his Infinite Martial Arts School has surged, attracting many martial arts experts.

Now, they are actively recruiting talented individuals, hiring anyone with a special skill.

Jiang Daoqi laughed and said, "This is not something an ordinary marquis should do."

This person has probably already realized that the Great Li Dynasty is on its last legs and is planning for his own future.

Jiang Daoqi was the head of intelligence for the Jiang Family, and the more he learned about Qin Yan, the more surprised he became.

Rising from humble beginnings, he is also a true prodigy.

He has reached an extremely high level in both martial arts and military strategy!

In martial arts, he is known as invincible below the level of Great Grandmaster, capable of killing at will.

Military merits will be rewarded with a title!

But none of this is surprising; anyone would assume that the other person is destined for this path.

Upon further investigation, it was discovered that the other party had achieved success not only in martial arts and military affairs.

As Qin Yan's territory, Qinghe Town is undergoing rapid changes, with all sorts of novel things appearing every now and then.

Soap, gourmet food, glassware... and so on, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they're making a fortune every day.

He even wanted to crack open the other person's skull to see how it was structured.

What good are grand ambitions anyway?

They look down on us.

Jiang Daoxi pouted and complained, "Our Jiang Family's influence in the imperial court is gradually waning. If we can't find a suitable person to help us..."

Our Jiang Family will probably decline from this point on.

There are plenty of people outside eyeing the Jiang Family's wealth.

The Jiang Family is incredibly wealthy, but ultimately, money is like a rootless plant.

They need to use wealth to gain the support of other forces.

Now, their chosen faction has been prematurely purged due to the change of imperial power.

It's fair to say they're in a rather passive position right now.

The latest news is that a powerful force is eyeing them, and if they can't find outside help...

The Jiang Family will likely become history, and their descendants will face retribution!

Qin Yan was one of their targets.

"Perhaps we were too hasty."

Jiang Daoqi spoke up, "Qin Yan is not even sixteen yet, and there are many people who want to marry him."

We might not be the best choice for him!

It's not surprising that they didn't choose us.

Qin Yan wants a piece of land that we have, doesn't he?

No conditions are required, just give it to him; it's not worth much anyway.

Taking this as an opportunity, we will have more contact in the future.

There's still a chance!

Besides, didn't Qin Yan already say that?

He's willing to do someone a favor, and that favor is quite valuable.

For the Jiang Family, this is definitely not a losing proposition.

Jiang Daozhen nodded. "We were indeed too hasty. Now, with a favor from Youshan Marquis, we might be able to save our Jiang Family this time!"

In addition, some of the Lineage's businesses were transferred to Youshan Prefecture.

Just as my third brother said.

Qin Yan is a hidden dragon in the abyss; judging from his attitude towards the people, his character must be quite good.

It's worthwhile for our Jiang Family to increase our investment.
