You Are Not the Only Rich Chapter 128

The caravan that several people infiltrated this time mainly sells jewelry and tea. The leader is Yan Laoer, one of the largest merchants in Qijue Country. Once when he was doing business, he got lost in the desert and was about to die due to hunger and thirst. Fortunately, he met Mu Hanye and followed him out. From then on, they kept going back and forth, and successfully became Mu Hanye's hidden secret among the people.
The border market is very lively, with caravans from the Rakshasa Kingdom and the Qijue Kingdom gathering here, and there are even merchants from the Chu Kingdom and the West. Oliver was surprised and said, "It's actually so big?"
"This is the largest border market." Mu Hanye said, "Now is the time when trade is most prosperous, so naturally there will be many people."
"Yan Lao Er." While they were talking, a man in a leather coat came over, followed by several followers. He laughed loudly, "This is not like your style. You actually waited until now to come. Most of the good stuff has been picked up." His tone was stiff. He had high eyebrows and deep eyes, very white skin, and long red curly hair. At first glance, you can tell that he is a Rakshasa.
"There's nothing we can do about it." Yan Laoer spread his hands, "Suddenly something happened at home. I really don't know what to do."
"You brought new guests this time?" The man looked at Asher and the others, "It seems like I've never seen them before."
"He is a friend from Chu." Yan Laoer introduced him to everyone, "His name is Menshak, and he is the richest and most powerful businessman in the market."
"Don't listen to Brother Yan's nonsense. When it comes to money, how can I compare to my friends from Chu? I heard that there is gold everywhere." Menshak laughed and bowed slightly to Asher, "Hello "
He hadn't seen a Caucasian person for a long time, and Shen Xiaoshou couldn't help but take a second look. The secret guard was also very interested and even wanted to grab two red hairs as a souvenir.
Asher said with a smile, "You are joking. If the land of Chu is full of gold, why would I come all the way here to seek wealth?"
"My friends came here to see if there is any way to make money." Yan Laoer said, "I wonder if Mr. Menshak is free tonight? We haven't seen each other for a long time, so we should have a meal together."
"Of course." Knowing that Yan Laoer had a lot of money and his friends should also be wealthy, Menshak agreed readily.
"How about we meet at the old place later?" Yan Laoer said, "We can discuss business in detail then."
"No problem." Menshak nodded. "Since this is your first time here, you should take a good look around. Please do as you please. I won't bother you any more."
The secret guard felt a little regretful. Is he just leaving like this? His hair hasn't even been pulled yet.
I don't know if there will be a chance tonight.
After watching Menshak leave, everyone dispersed and walked around the market. The secret guard was surprised, "A white-haired old man is also here?" He was even more surprised when he walked a little closer, "He looks really young."
"It must have come from the West." Oliver explained in a low voice, "Different races have different hair colors."
The secret guard was confused when he heard this, "Human race?" Madam, we don't understand.
Oliver thought for a moment and said, "It's just like Ta Xue Bai and Lu Cong Yu. Although they are both horses, they were born in different places, so their fur and eye colors are different."
The secret guards suddenly understood and expressed their admiration at the same time. The lady was so knowledgeable, which shows that the little hands must be very soft.
I really want to touch it.
Due to the language barrier, there are interpreters everywhere in the market. When needed, one can just wave and they will be quickly called to one's side, which is quite convenient. Ninety-nine percent of them are Rakshasa people.
There seemed to be a lot of people at the stall in front. After a few people squeezed in, they saw that they were selling all kinds of Western gadgets.
"Look at this." Oliver picked it up and shook it at Asher.
"What is it?" Asher took it.
"Pocket watch." Oliver said, "It's very convenient for calculating time."
"How to calculate?" Asher frowned slightly.
"Two grids equal an hour." Oliver pointed at the scale and explained it as simply as possible.
Asher smiled and said, "It sounds like a really good thing."
"Can I buy it?" Oliver asked.
Asher nodded and glanced at the stall owner. Before he could ask the price, the Western businessman had already raised four fingers and muttered something.
Oliver was stunned.
"What's wrong?" Asher rubbed his head.
Oliver shook his head, asked the secret guard to call the translator, bought the pocket watch, and walked to a deserted place before telling Asher, "I can understand what he is saying."
Asher was surprised, "Western?"
Oliver nodded and whispered in his ear, "I learned it before I came here."
Asher laughed out loud, "Ling'er is so awesome."
I couldn't hear any whispers! The secret guards stood on tiptoe, feeling very anxious.
"After this matter is resolved, let's go to the royal city again." Oliver said suddenly after walking forward for a while.
"Why?" Asher helped him adjust his collar, "I wasn't thinking about going back to Shadow Palace before."
"Chu is very powerful now, but it will not be strong forever." Oliver said seriously, "You can't defeat muskets and cannons with grain, tea, silkworms, porcelain."
"Explain it more clearly." Asher said.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to take Zhou Jue seriously, because he is nothing more than a clown." Oliver said, "But we cannot underestimate the Western countries. Today they can make pocket watches and muskets, but tomorrow they can make pocket watches and muskets." There will be more powerful weapons. As you said before, no king does not want to expand his territory. The reason why he stands still is because the army has not yet become strong enough to build an army and fight all the way to the border of Chu. By then, it's too late."
"Why did you suddenly think of these things?" Asher was a little surprised.
"Such a situation also happened in the place where I came from." Oliver said, "The Western army brought opium muskets and wars, and then there was darkness for nearly a hundred years. Chu State should not be like this."
"What to do?" Asher asked.
"Let's go to the emperor and ask him to select officials and students as quickly as possible to go to the West for exchange and study." Oliver said, "I have so many talented people in Chu. I can definitely learn from each other's strengths and learn a lot of useful things." "
"Okay." Asher nodded, "I'll listen to you."
"You are so kind." Oliver said with a smile, "If it were anyone else, they would definitely regard what I said as crazy talk."
"Because Ling'er has always been very smart, what he said naturally makes sense." If it weren't for the change of appearance, Asher could hardly help but lean in for a k!ss. From the first time they met, what I liked the most was his appearance, with his eyes shining and his whole person full of energy.
Just as Mu Hanye said, this market is very large and prosperous, selling everything from food and clothing to rare items. The secret guard even bought a music box, intending to take it back for his wife - although we don't have a wife yet, but who can say for sure about such things? What if we meet her on the way? After all, we are so handsome and will be welcomed wherever we go.
While they were talking and laughing, he suddenly smelt a fragrance. Following the smell, the Jianghu mascot was instantly stunned.
Although it is April, the time when flowers bloom, it is still very cold because Rakshasa Country is located in the northern plateau. That's why the girls in front have bare legs.
Bare legs and all, it’s so cruel!
The secret guard quickly closed his eyes, very pure.
"Don't look." Asher also scolded Oliver in a low voice.
Shen Xiaoshou:...
mean.
"You are new here, right?" A merchant nearby smiled and explained, "It is said that this is the custom in Rakshasa Country. Don't take it to heart."
It’s so scary... The secret guards were terrified. Fortunately, we were not born in the Rakshasa Kingdom.
After wandering around a large market, Oliver ate a lot of snacks. Each of the secret guards held a lot of things in their hands. At first glance, they looked both rich and unsophisticated, which fit the image of Chu's nouveau riche.
Menshak had been waiting in front of the restaurant since early in the morning. When he saw everyone, he smiled and greeted them, "Are you having fun?"
"Yeah." Oliver nodded with a smile, "There are a lot of rare things I've never seen before."
"If I had known this, we would have come earlier." Asher patted Yan Laoer on the shoulder, "Brother Yan is also unkind. Why didn't you write to me earlier? Otherwise, I would have made a fortune long ago. Why bother at home? I'm angry with the old man."
"It's not too late now." Yan Laoer said, "Master Qian, please rest assured that Mr. Menschak has many connections. As long as he has enough money, he will definitely make a lot of money."
Menschak smiled and shook his head, "Thank you, Mr. Yan. I'm just a businessman. Please join me."
The private room was already stocked with fine wine and red sausage, as well as many dishes unique to the Rakshasa Kingdom. Not long after they sat down, Menshak called Yan Laoer out on the pretext of picking fish. Since they were going to do business together, they naturally had to know the other party's background.
Everyone in the room continued to laugh, eat and drink, and talk about what they would do if they got rich in the future. Probably due to the language barrier, the remaining Menshak's entourage kept eating and drinking without saying a word.
The identities of everyone this time were very simple, that is, they were gold diggers from Chu. Asher used the alias Qian Shan, the second young master of a wealthy family in Jiangnan. He was idle and uneducated, but he wanted to make a fortune to show his parents, so as to prove that he was no worse than his elder brother. Oliver was his cousin, named Qian Zhaocai, which was very popular and easy to remember. As for Mu Hanye, although his eyes and appearance were disguised, he could not enter the Qian family because of his deep eyebrows and eyes, which were too exotic. He had to say that he was a distant relative of Yan Laoer.
"How is your family background?" Menschak asked.
"Sir, you still can't believe me." Yan Laoer whispered, "Don't worry, this person is a fat sheep and has no brains."
The people in the room were so strong that they naturally heard the whispers outside. The secret guard burst into tears and applauded in his heart. Finally someone dared to say this about the Palace Master. It was exactly what we thought!
I really want to start my own business with my wife and the young palace master.
After Yan Laoer's repeated assurances, Menshak was relieved. After returning and talking for a few words, he was more certain that these people really had no experience, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, since you are Mr. Yan's friends, you will not suffer any loss if you follow me."
"I just want to know two things." Asher put the wine glass in his hand on the table, "What do you do to make the most money, and do what do you do to make money quickly."
The secret guards tutted one after another. He was a playboy and so on. Gong was so good at playing the leading role, and one look at him showed that he was also like this in nature.
"There is a lot of money coming from the business, but there is no rush."   Menshak smiled and reassured, "Master Qian, don't be anxious. Since you have come all the way here, I will not let you go back empty-handed."
"Mr. Menshak is right." Oliver also said to Asher, "Since you are here, you should stay for a while. I think this place is pretty good. Not only is it better than Jiangnan, but there is no one nagging in my ears every day. I don't know how happy I am here."
The secret guard tried his best to hold back and didn't pounce on the lady and pinch her little face. In order to disguise himself, Asher specially painted his face black and made some changes to his facial features. It actually looked a bit funny. But in the hearts of the crazy fans, the lady is a cute little white flower no matter what, even if her face is black!
Still want to pinch it very much.
"That's right." Asher raised his head and drank a glass of wine, "If those people at home bother me again, I won't go back."
Yan Laoer also said on the side, "Actually, it's okay to stay a little longer. I've booked the most expensive inn for you, and there's a hot spring in it. After traveling so long, it's just the right time to relieve your tiredness."
"That's right, this inn belongs to me." Menschak said with a smile, "There are also good dancers inside. If Master Qian likes it, he can call her into the house at any time and let me invite her."
Please tell me! Shen Xiaoshou became angry instantly, this is my man, okay? You can only talk to me, shut up!
Asher said disdainfully, "I'm not interested today."
Oliver stepped on him under the table. What does "not interested today" mean? Why don't you say you don't want to do it? Then everything will be easier!
Asher added, "I'm not interested in tomorrow either. I'm here to make money this time and it has nothing to do with women."
Yan Laoer quickly flattered, "Master Qian is really a man who does great things."
Asher smiled slightly, looking very cool and inflated.
Having seen many such dandy young masters, Menshak also laughed and poured wine for him personally.
Looks like a fat sheep indeed...
After the meal, it was almost late at night. Fortunately, the inn was just across the street, not far away. Compared with the carved beams and painted buildings in the Central Plains, the inns here were much simpler and much larger.
There were constant sounds of stringed instruments and music in the hall. As soon as everyone entered the door, they saw several Western dancers sitting on the table in the middle, twisting their waists and H!ps and dancing gracefully. They were dressed very revealingly. A circle of businessmen around them kept cheering and applauding, and it looked like they wanted to pick them up and eat them.
So Shen Xiaoshou immediately became unhappy again, saying that it was immoral and should be covered up quickly!
What am I doing all this time? It's so annoying.
The waist is still very thin!
Shen Xiaoshou complained while sucking in his stomach silently.
Asher suppressed his laughter and led him through the crowd straight back to his residence.
The house was very big, and Oliver pinched his face as soon as he entered, "Don't look at it again!"
"Well, I don't look at it." Asher was very tactful, "I only look at Ling'er."
That's more like it. Oliver sniffed and sat on the bedside and asked, "What should I do now?"
"We don't need to do anything." Asher said, "That Menshak will come to you."
Oliver was puzzled when he heard this, "Why?"
Asher's answer was very straightforward, "Because we have money."
Oliver:...
Young man, what you said is really outrageous.
"The purpose of doing business is to make money." Asher said, "Now Menshak has goods and we have money, who do you think should find whom? Besides, there is Yan Laoer to promote it, so don't worry, it won't be long before Menshak will take the initiative to find us."
"That's right." Oliver yawned.
"Are you tired?" Asher sat next to him.
"I've been on the road and spent the whole day at the market." Oliver said, "My legs are about to break."
"Have a good bath and have a good rest." Asher said, "We won't go anywhere tomorrow, we will just stay in the inn and lie down."
Oliver laughed out loud, "Well, let's lie down for a day!"
There are two beds in this room, which is just right for two people to live together. However, Asher obviously would not let Oliver sleep alone, so he carried her to bed after taking a bath.
Although the place is a bit narrow, it's still warm to hold them together.
The pocket watch ticked under the pillow, and Oliver said, "I haven't heard such a sound for a long time."
"It doesn't sound good again." Asher helped him cover the quilt.
"It's not nice to hear." But it's the voice of technology! Shen Xiaoshou suddenly thought of this in his head, and then he was shocked by himself.
"What expression." Asher was amused.
Oliver leaned over and k!ssed him, "If there is a chance in the future, let's go to the West."
"Okay." Asher nodded in agreement without any hesitation.
Oliver smiled and said, "You can say whatever I say." It's totally unprincipled, but at the same time, it's very cool.
"Because I love you." Asher pinched his nose, "You don't love me."
"Who said that?" Oliver protested, "I am also very obedient to you!"
"Seriously?" Asher said, "Then stand here tonight, okay."
"Dream on!" Oliver asked without even thinking.
Palace Master Qin immediately looked at him with a look that said "See, you still say you love me."
Shen Xiaoshou:...
Asher sighed in disappointment.
Oliver said calmly, "Okay, I really don't hurt you." Just stand there and hum without even thinking about it. I won't agree.
"Then touch your bu.tt." Asher asked again.
Don't be so shameless! Shen Xiaoshou fastened his belt tightly, "No." This is outside!
Asher sighed in disappointment again.
Oliver:...
"It seems that touching my belly is no longer effective." Asher muttered to himself.
Shen Xiaoshou was in mixed emotions. Why did he make himself sound so pitiful?
The poor person is obviously me.
Asher's eyes were full of grievance.
Oliver is dizzy, don't just imitate the way your son looks when he eats vegetables! Then he angrily lifted his coat and said, "I'm just going to touch him once."
Asher laughed out loud and went over to k!ss him.
It's so stupid that it makes people feel sorry for him.
The next day, the two of them slept in the inn for a whole day. When Menshak came to find them, Yan Laoer said, "Master Qian said he was very tired from traveling today, so he didn't go out today."
"But the market is only open for a few days. Is he sure he doesn't want to go?" Menshak asked.
"A young master from a wealthy family like this can't afford hardships." Yan Laoer said, "I've always only been interested in eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling. If I hadn't been angry at home, I wouldn't have come all the way here."
"He was lucky enough to meet Brother Yan." Menshak said, "If he came here alone, he would definitely be eaten to the point where no bones are left."
"Thank you, Mr. Menschak." Yan Laoer said with a smile, "Here, I have to rely entirely on Mr. Menschak."
"By the way, there really is a big deal this time." Menshak said, "I originally wanted to discuss it with Brother Yan. Fortunately, no one will disturb us today. Why don't we go have a drink together?"
Yan Laoer nodded and followed him out of the inn.
The secret guard returned to the room and reported to Asher the conversation he had just overheard word for word.
"Big business?" Asher touched his chin and said to Mu Hanye, "What does the Seventh King think?"
"Yan Laoer is the largest merchant in the Qijue Kingdom, and he originally did big business." Mu Hanye said, "In the most prosperous times, the fleet of convoys transporting goods and silver coins could almost be seen. The word 'big' in the eyes of ordinary people, He may not seem worth mentioning at all."
"But Menschak brought it up this time, which shows that it is indeed a big business." Asher said, "And it is different from the big business in the past."
"Black Water Pot?" This was the first thing Oliver thought of reflexively.
Asher also nodded, "It's the same as what I thought."
"How come Danmenshak is so relieved about Yan Laoer?" Oliver was puzzled.
"Those who can make a big business rarely have a clean foundation." Mu Hanye said, "Yan Laoer is not a conventional businessman. I originally wanted to deal with him, but later he was used by me by mistake. In this world, treacherous people are always easier to deal with than honest people, so I never forced him to change, just hope that he would not make a big mistake."
"So in Menshak's mind, Yan Lao Er is not a good person with good character." Oliver said, "This makes sense."
"Yan Lao Er's nickname is Sai Yan Luo, and he is always willing to take ruthless actions in the business world." Mu Hanye said, "Otherwise he wouldn't have the status he has today. I have never helped him in the slightest."
"It's a pity that we are not familiar with the environment at the moment, otherwise my subordinates would have followed." The secret guard said, "Maybe I can hear something."
"There is no need to take risks." Oliver said, "Just wait, we will naturally find out when Yan Laoer comes back."
I thought that I would go out to talk about something and would be back in the afternoon at the latest. Unexpectedly, everyone waited until late at night, and there was still no news from Yan Laoer. Oliver yawned profusely and fell asleep on the table.
The madam is really annoying... The secret guard has bright eyes.
Asher picked him up gently and planned to take him back to the inner room to rest first.
The secret guard stood on tiptoe and stretched out his neck, very reluctant to give up. He had not yet seen the lady drooling cutely.
Palace Master Qin was cold and cruel. "Get lost."
Why don't you just take a look?
The secret guard burst into tears and felt very aggrieved.
We clearly didn't say anything.
The palace owner is simply heartless.
