"Why would Li Ke suddenly go against the merchants from the Kang Kingdom and the An Kingdom for no reason?"
In the side hall, Zhangsun Wuji put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Ma Cheng, and asked in confusion.
"… I don't know about this! However, the Yan Huang Bank had specifically targeted the merchants from the Kang Nation and the An Nation. They were probably only after profits! Elder should know that the Nine Families of Zhao Wu have been doing business in the Central Plains for many years. They are strong and have many shops. Perhaps the King of Shu wants to use this to suppress the Nine Families of Zhao Wu. With this, the merchants from the Yan Huang Chamber of Commerce will gain a greater advantage! "
Ma Cheng's eyes flashed as he clasped his hands and said to Zhangsun Wuji.
He naturally knew a little about the reason why the Yan Huang Bank had 'banned' the merchants from An Kingdom and Kang Kingdom. However, he could not be too clear with Zhangsun Wuji at this moment. Otherwise, after Zhangsun Wuji knew the truth of the matter, his plan would fail. Secondly, if he told the reason why the Yan Huang Bank had 'banned' the merchants from An Kingdom and Kang Kingdom in detail, wouldn't it mean that he was very clear about the inside story of this matter? At that time, with Zhangsun Wuji's intelligence, it would be hard for him not to think that he was one of the parties involved in this matter.
He could only be an outsider and tell Zhangsun Wuji such news so that Zhangsun Wuji wouldn't be suspicious!
"The Yan Huang Chamber of Commerce? You're saying that Li Ke is secretly helping the Yan Huang Chamber of Commerce? "
Zhangsun Wuji's eyes narrowed and his expression turned ugly as he asked in a deep voice.
The Yan Huang Chamber of Commerce had been developing vigorously for more than a year and its power had gradually grown. Its fame wasn't inferior to the Nine Families of Zhao Wu. People like Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda, and the others all had shares in the Strange Taste Pavilion because of their relationship with Li Zexuan. The dividends they received every month weren't a small amount. Originally, because they were relatives of the royal family, the Zhangsun Family was considered a wealthy family. However, because of Li Zexuan, the Qin and Cheng Families were almost richer than the Zhangsun Family!
It wasn't that Zhangsun Wuji was greedy for money. It was just that every time he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel angry.
Now that he knew that Li Ke could possibly use the Yan Huang Chamber of Commerce to suppress other merchants and raise the Yan Huang Chamber of Commerce, Zhangsun Wuji was even more unhappy.
Hearing that, Ma Cheng hurriedly stood up "in fear and trepidation" and said, "This … This is just my personal guess. I don't have any evidence. Elder, you don't have to take it seriously!"
…
"Why would Li Ke suddenly go against the merchants from the Kang Kingdom and the An Kingdom for no reason?"
In the side hall, Zhangsun Wuji put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Ma Cheng who was seated below him as he asked in confusion.
"… I don't know about that! However, the Yan Huang Bank had specifically targeted the merchants from the Kang Nation and the An Nation. They were probably only after profits! Elder, you should know that the Nine Families of Zhao Wu have been doing business in the Central Plains for many years. They are strong and have many shops. Perhaps His Highness, the King of Shu, wants to use this to suppress the Nine Families of Zhao Wu. In this way, the merchants of the Yan Huang Chamber of Commerce will gain an even greater advantage! "
Ma Cheng's eyes flashed as he clasped his hands towards Zhangsun Wuji and said.
