MTL - I Built a Territory in Ancient Times-Chapter 148 Festival
Immediately, I started to prepare silver taels, so I was prepared. "
Opportunities are fleeting, and Ma Siyong has certainly understood this truth for many years in business. Only by being fully prepared and seizing the opportunity, it is impossible to seize the opportunity even if it is in front of you.
The merchants in the world are much smarter than him. Their Ma family has been able to develop to the point where they are today, mainly because they plan ahead and seize the opportunity when they are decisive.

119 Chapter 119
Seeing that his father has already thought about it, then there is nothing to worry about. Ma Jinyu obeyed the order and went down to get news.
Undercurrents were surging, the matter of Duanwang's preparation for the tender meeting was quickly put on the desks of several other companies, and there were not a few who had ideas.
Especially when I heard that the boy from the Ma family had deliberately asked Duan Wang for a drink, he didn't have to guess to know what the attitude of the Ma family was. If the Ma family is not interested, how could it be possible to send the Ma family's son to come forward? He even talked to Duan Wang for so long.
It's just this tender, what does it mean? They have never heard this statement. But whether they could understand it or not, everyone began to pay attention and even prepare.
Not only in the capital, but also gradually in the south. Duanwang is building the Xiqi Corridor. Because of the lack of money, he plans to let merchants participate in the construction. To put it bluntly, it is an investment, and in the future, there will be huge returns.
Don't believe it, Duan Wang's two trades in the Western Regions caused a sensation, no one knows who knows? They all heard about the preciousness of the Western Regions items in the south, but unfortunately they couldn't see it with their own eyes. However, they are concerned about these things. King Duan also trades in the Western Regions. Why can't others? But thinking of the situation over there, those who have a little idea are also patient.
This time I heard that the Xiqi Corridor in Duanwang Lane is mainly to open up the trade channel between Dayan and the Western Regions. Let the caravan not have to take the risk of war to pass through the Suixi country, but a relatively safer and more convenient road.
Most importantly, Duanwang built the Xiqi Corridor in order to divide the Xiqi Corridor into the Dayan site. From then on, no national power can choke Dayan's throat, and people will trade in the Western Regions unimpeded, so this gives them a great opportunity for these businessmen.
You must know that no one has ever deliberately created a trade route. Scholars, peasants, industry and commerce, their merchants are reviled by the world. It is said that businessmen pursue profit rather than parting, that businessmen compete with the people for profits, and that businessmen do not do business if they are not traitors. After all, it's just the prejudice of the world.
Now that Duan Wang is taking the lead, what else are they afraid of? It is rumored that the development and operation of Xiqi Corridor in the next ten years will be handed over to King Duan. Judging from the rumors revealed, everything is difficult at the beginning, of course, a lot of money will be invested in the beginning. But in the long run, after the successful opening of the Xiqi Corridor, businessmen will come and go, and the tariff alone will be an astronomical sum. In this comparison, what kind of investment is that?
Now the bidding meeting given by Duanwang is an opportunity for everyone. As long as the merchants participate, such a big benefit can't be used up even if they can pick up some vegetable soup and drink it.
Merchants who have obtained the letter can't wait, the opportunity cannot be missed, and the loss will never come. They're in the south, and they're rushing now, maybe they can get some good.
There are also cautious businessmen who have already begun to decide whether to go to Liangzhou to take a look. I heard that the bandits there have been almost eliminated under the leadership of Duan Wang. The bandit troubles in Liangzhou have improved a lot. As long as it is not on the border with Suixi, it should be safe.
Only by going to see the situation on the ground can they know whether it is worthwhile to go west.
The breeze was blowing, and the faint fragrance of flowers wrapped in the wind was intoxicating.
In the huge courtyard pavilion, two noble young masters in fancy clothes were playing a game. At this time, it seemed that there was a dispute. One of them stood up, bent over and prostrate on the chessboard, with a sly gesture.
Outside the pavilion, a group of people hurried towards the pavilion. Xu Xi walked in front, and behind him was the palace **** carrying fruit snacks.
"No, no, it doesn't count just now, I didn't see it, it doesn't count." Ming Yu's voice was as lame as ever.
"Gu Du reminded you that you went there by yourself, so why not?" Prince Ming Ye was angry and funny.
"Hey! Didn't I notice that? Walk again, walk again!"
"You said you, just that move just now, you have replayed seven or eight times, is it interesting?" Ming Ye was very helpless.
"You bully me just because you are old! Either you just let me go down again, or the prince's brother is not allowed to go there, you choose one." Ming Yu doesn't want to be domineering. Extremely arrogant in front of him.
"..." Ming Ye was speechless.
Xu Xi's skin twitched, but he didn't dare to show it when he wanted to laugh. After calming down, he coughed.
He hadn't seen the prince look so helpless from his heart for a long time. Only when facing Duan Wang Mingyu will he reveal the truth that is completely different from usual.
Sitting in the position of the prince, there are too many people staring at it, which makes the prince have to carefully hide his truth, and put the mask of gentleness, respectfulness and thrift on his face at all times. The identity of the prince is a shackle, which crushes the high-spirited youth to a dead end, and in the end completely forgets his truest self.
At this time, the prince has been driven crazy by Ming Yu's harassment. He knew that he should have refused decisively when Ming Yu proposed to play chess. Playing chess with someone like Ming Yu who is addicted to vegetables is simply torture. He has been arrogant from the beginning and has no temper at all.
Xu Xi's cough caught the attention of the two people in the pavilion. Ming Ye seemed to see Guanyin who was saving the suffering, and finally someone came to free him from the sea of misery.
"Xu Qing is here, there must be something important to ask for, this chess should be played later." Ming Ye breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly pushed the chess game away, and beckoned Xu Xi to come over quickly.
Although Ming Yu was a little regretful, he couldn't say anything more, so he could only watch Ming Ye ask someone to pack up, and then sat up straight with a sad face.
Ming Ye hardened his heart to ignore him. If he couldn't escape at this time, he would be tortured. No wonder the favorite chessboard in the father's palace that had been kept there all year round disappeared, not even half of the son, it seems that the rumor is true.
Ming Yu has recently become obsessed with chess. What chess skills can a rookie who just learned the rules have? Two days ago, I heard that he went to play chess with his father, and that day Ming Yu limped out while clutching his butt. And on the second day, the chessboard and all the pieces were gone. The emperor spoke out, but wherever Ming Yu was, no pieces were allowed.
At first he didn't understand what was going on, but now he finally felt it. I also roughly understood the emperor's mood at that time. It is estimated that Mingyu annoyed the emperor because of playing chess that day, and was kicked out after eating two boards?
It's very possible! Playing chess with Ming Yu, without getting sick from anger, really has a strong heart. He didn't know the situation until he said it, and later he had to give these chess tools to others as soon as possible, and there would never be a chance for Ming Yu to catch a game of chess.
Xu Xi could hear a hint of urgency from the Prince's usual calm tone. He smiled slightly, stepped into the pavilion, and then greeted the two of them.
Ming Ye hurriedly helped him up, with an indescribable kindness on his face, "Xu Qing is coming over for something important?"
Xu Xi presented a booklet in his hand, "Exactly, this is the account of the second batch of goods from the Western Regions brought back by King Duan. I came here specially to ask the Prince to take a look."
The prince took it over and turned it over. The data above made his heart beat faster because he was used to seeing the big world. He said happily: "This time's results are even better than the previous round, Fourteenth Brother, take a look."
After the prince finished speaking, he pushed the ledger to Ming Yu and motioned him to take a look. Ming Yu was indifferent, far less enthusiastic than when he just played chess. He lifted his eyelids and flipped through it, pushed it directly to Ming Ye, and said with disgust, "Brother Prince can just look at these things, I don't want to care about such things."
"Aren't you taking a closer look? Aren't these the results you brought back?" Ming Ye's attitude towards Ming Yu has long been commonplace, as long as Ming Yu is not interested in things he does.
It's just that the value of these things is completely different. Even his prince is moved, but Ming Yu is really not interested.
"Don't look at it, don't look at it! Anyway, the prince's elder brother will not lose a penny to his younger brother. It's okay to look at it or not." Ming Yu said vaguely after eating a snack that the palace servant had just brought up.
Ming Ye took the booklet, but that's true. Fourteenth brother trusted him so much, and of course he couldn't let him down. The prince, who was also moved by Ming Yu's words, heard Ming Yu continue: "Brother Prince, please deal with it quickly, the game just now is not over yet!"
Ming Ye choked in his heart and almost didn't come up. The account of feelings is not as important as the previous game of chess. Should he cry or laugh?
