A deal struck

"Are you aware of some of the changes that have taken place in this place in recent years?"

Fang Weiyan arrived before the Dragon King and, without wasting any words, directly asked if the other party knew about this matter.

Upon hearing this, the Dragon King was taken aback, somewhat unsure of what Fang Weiyan wanted to ask.

He immediately gave Fang Weiyan a strange look, puzzled.

"What does Your Majesty mean by asking? What is meant by change?"

The Dragon King was puzzled by Fang Weiyan's meaning and could only ask him for clarification.

Seeing this Fang Weiyan could only clarify his doubts, "I want to know, has the light of the Golden Crow been getting dimmer in recent years? Now that the passage has opened, I've noticed that it's even dimmer, which looks rather strange."

"I don't know what happened before, so I can only ask you for clarification."

This matter is very important, and Fang Weiyan explained it in extra detail.

Upon hearing Fang Weiyan's words, the Dragon King was slightly taken aback, then frowned and thought about it carefully.

"I had been cultivating at the bottom of the river, so I didn't know much about the outside world. However, Your Majesty's words reminded me. Several times after I finished cultivating, when I went out, I could indeed feel that the Golden Crow of Heaven and Earth seemed to have undergone some changes."

"Because the intervals between each outing are relatively long, the changes are quite noticeable."

"Just as His Majesty said, the Golden Crow's light is growing dimmer and dimmer."

The Dragon King recounted everything he knew, and Fang Weiyan's expression immediately changed upon hearing it.

Fang Weiyan really hadn't expected this to actually happen.

His suspicions had been confirmed by the Dragon King, which shows that...

That passageway definitely has a problem.

Thinking of this, Fang Weiyan's eyes narrowed slightly.

Things have gotten complicated; it looks like we need to be prepared.

"Okay, thank you for your help today."

Now that Fang Weiyan knew what he wanted to know, he didn't delay any longer and turned to leave in a hurry.

It took Fang Weiyan some time to return to the palace.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Weiyan then summoned several Yin God from the Underworld Administration.

Fang Weiyan then handed over the imperial seal, letters, and several other official documents to them, saying, "Be sure to deliver these letters to the other Human Sovereign."

What Fang Weiyan discovered was no small matter, Fang Weiyan felt he couldn't shoulder the burden alone.

Now that he knows, he can easily inform the other Human Sovereign and ask them to help him withstand the pressure.

Therefore, Fang Weiyan stand on ceremony and directly had the letter delivered.

Once these guys find out, they'll naturally figure out how to deal with it.

After doing all this, Fang Weiyan finally felt relieved.

According to Weiwei, with Tao Lingluo inside, they shouldn't encounter too much danger for the time being.

In that case, Fang Weiyan doesn't need to worry too much.

"Oh, so the Jiang Kingdom has agreed to trade with us?"

At that moment, in the Wu Kingdom, which borders the Jiang Kingdom, the sight of the returning envoy brought a look of joy to their faces.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Jiang Kingdom has already agreed to trade with us!"

At that moment, in the imperial court, the returning envoy answered with a joyful expression.

He had personally visited the Jiang Kingdom and, after learning of its wealth, naturally wanted to promote trade between the two countries.

Now that all the conditions have been agreed upon, we can begin trading immediately.

"I've heard that the passage within the Land of Ten Thousand Witherings has now been opened. Could this affect our transaction?"

Upon seeing this, a minister standing nearby immediately stepped forward and asked a question.

He remembers it very clearly.

This was a calamity unique to the Human Sovereign.

If the other side fails to withstand such a disaster, their neighboring countries will also suffer.

Therefore, this is something we still need to be wary of.

The Jiang Kingdom is merely a newly established dynasty under the rule of the Human Sovereign; it's unlikely they've only just come into contact with the Land of Ten Thousand Witherings.

It was then destroyed with overwhelming force.

Upon hearing this, the other ministers in the court exchanged glances.

After being reminded by the other party, they did remember that such a thing did indeed happen.

"Yes, the Land of Ten Thousand Witherings has already opened. I've heard that the creatures Land of Ten Thousand Witherings are not easy to deal with; even other Human Sovereign Dynasties suffer heavy casualties every time."

"Could it be that the Jiang Kingdom can't hold them off? But what if they can't?"

The other ministers, upon realizing this, immediately became somewhat worried.

They had no intention of helping Jiang Kingdom; a disaster of this magnitude was beyond their ability to withstand.

Besides, this is something the other party should handle themselves; what business is it of theirs?

"What are you worried about? Since the other side can produce Human Sovereign, they should be able to stop this. Even if there is a risk of it getting out of control, at worst, their Human Sovereign will personally take action."

Seeing that a group of ministers were actually worried about this matter, one of the ministers immediately said with a disdainful look.

In his view, there was absolutely nothing to worry about.

At the very least, if a major problem were to arise, wouldn't the opposing team's Human Sovereign at least intervene?

I've heard that the Human Sovereign is capable of taking on ten thousand men single-handedly.

Given that such a situation exists, what are these people worried about?

"That's not how it works. After all, we are a neighboring country of the Jiang Kingdom. If, by some chance, the Yin God from the Land of Ten Thousand Witherings were to emerge and wreak havoc on the surrounding area, we would also be its target. The things in the Land of Land of Ten Thousand Witherings have always been quite powerful."

"Indeed, the things in the Land of Ten Thousand Witherings are something even the Human Sovereign deals with with extreme caution. How can we be so careless?"

Several ministers, upon hearing this, simply remarked without any apparent concern.

In their view, it's always better to be safe than sorry in this kind of situation.

On the contrary, the minister who spoke was far too arrogant.

How can something found in Land of Ten Thousand Witherings be ignored?

The minister who had just spoken fell silent upon hearing this.

He now knew that what the other person said was true.

Those things in the Land of Ten Thousand Witherings are indeed difficult to deal with.

"Alright, my esteemed ministers are all correct. The things in the Land of Land of Ten Thousand Witherings cannot be ignored. However, we have no other choice at the moment and can only pray that the Jiang Kingdom can handle it."

The emperor, watching his ministers argue, immediately waved his hand, signaling them to stop arguing.

It's clearly impossible to get a result on this matter quickly.

Instead, we should think carefully about what we should do right now.

Upon realizing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

The Emperor is right; this is not something they can concern themselves with right now.

Let's be more concerned about how much money they can make after the deal with the Jiang Kingdom.

Gu Qiao

This is the most important part for them.

"I've heard that the Jiang Kingdom possesses countless treasures, each worth a thousand pieces of gold, and that there are countless such treasures in the Jiang Kingdom. Is this true?"

The Minister of Ministry of Revenue stepped forward and inquired about the specific situation in the Jiang Kingdom.

"That's right. And the food there is extremely cheap. There's also something incredibly magical; when mixed with water, it turns into incredibly hard Shitou. This stuff can be used to build roads and bridges—it's a truly amazing treasure!"

"Your Majesty, even if we don't want anything else, we absolutely must get our hands on this!"

When the visiting envoy mentioned this item, he became extremely excited.

He had seen this treasure with his own eyes.

Therefore, he was extremely envious of this treasure.

If we had this, it could bring about earth-shattering changes to our country.

In addition, it's possible to make a lot of money from this.

For example, this can be used for building houses and repairing city walls.

"After this substance dried up, the road it paved was perfectly smooth, like a mirror. When I traveled to the Jiang Kingdom, I never felt tired Higher Vehicle the carriage!"

Even at this moment, the envoy was still painstakingly explaining the matter, making sure everyone else knew the importance of this treasure.

If our country could build roads to this level, we would no longer have to suffer the hardships of long journeys.

Therefore, he became increasingly agitated when he spoke about this matter.

The other ministers exchanged glances upon hearing this, as they had never seen what this treasure looked like.

Hearing the other person say this now, it seemed like something out of a mystery.

This surprised them somewhat.

"Is this thing truly so miraculous?"

"To be able to achieve this level after drying out is extremely useful."

At this moment, everyone began to speak about the treasure.

Based on what the other party said, they were able to guess some of the purpose of this thing.

"Of course I do, how could I dare to deceive His Majesty?"

An envoy standing nearby spoke up loudly.

Once all the trade details have been finalized, the next step is to begin purchasing.

Now, let's talk about what we need to buy next.

After all, funds are limited, and they can't possibly spend all their money on one thing.

There must be priorities.

Upon hearing this, the emperor frowned.

With so many treasures in the Jiang Kingdom, it's hard to say whether these small Jiang Kingdom surrounding it are a blessing or a curse.

Generally speaking, this can be considered a blessing.

After all, the other side has so many treasures; if they cooperate, they can make a lot of money too.

With so many treasures in the Jiang Kingdom, its national strength will surely continue to grow.

When the Jiang Kingdom grows stronger, won't they, with their small arms and legs, become too much of an eyesore?

If the other side finds an opportunity to wipe out their small country, they probably won't have any chance to resist.

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Based on their previous understanding of the Jiang Kingdom, they thought it was just a small country, and one that was on the verge of extinction.

Now that he has suddenly recovered, it makes one feel somewhat uneasy.

Judging from their previous national strength, it was only yellow, but now, in such a short time, it has already turned cyan.

If this continues, it'll probably turn blue very soon.

The more he thought about it, the more intense his worries became.

The envoys sent earlier failed to persuade the other side to agree to make them a vassal state.

If the other party had agreed earlier, he wouldn't have had this worry.

At the very least, so far there has been no record of any dynasty going and destroying its own vassal state.

It's unclear whether the other side realized this or felt that the terms negotiated by their previous envoy were offensive.

Why would the other party refuse?

The emperor of the Zhou Kingdom couldn't help but feel a little worried when he thought about this.

The ministers below were still arguing, discussing the treasures from the Jiang Kingdom.

Many ministers had their own ideas at this time.

They planned to return home and have their families use some of their savings to travel to the Jiang Kingdom and buy some treasures.

If we go a little further away, the selling price will definitely be several times higher!

This is an extremely profitable business.

The more the ministers thought about it, the more tempted they became.

He exchanged a glance with his colleague beside him, both conveying their thoughts to each other through eye contact.

They both understood each other's meaning.

After the court session ends, we can go back and discuss it carefully. Then this matter can be considered settled.

At this moment, the emperor above finally came to his senses.

Looking at the ministers below, who were still discussing, it seemed they were also scheming for the benefit of the court.

At this moment, the emperor felt a slight sense of relief.

After the ministers had finished their discussions, he asked them to come up with a plan.

Once he takes a good look and confirms it's acceptable, he can directly use the national treasury's silver to go to the Jiang Kingdom for the transaction.

Seeing this, the ministers also began to bow and prepare to leave the palace.

They were all thinking about getting back as soon as possible and deciding what treasures they wanted to buy.

No one is immune to the temptation of making money.

They were especially envious of the treasures the envoys brought back when they returned.

Hearing what they said today, it seems there are still many treasures over there that they haven't seen or brought back.

This made them even more interested.

The ministers then returned to their residences, summoned their subordinates, and began making their arrangements.

After all, the discussions in the imperial court just now weren't for nothing.

Their discussion of these treasures helped them understand which items they should choose to buy.

Once you've made up your mind, issuing instructions won't take much time.

The only slightly troublesome issue is how much silver they can contribute and how that silver will be distributed.

How can I earn a large sum of money on my first try?

Once you've made money, you can continue to make money from money.
