"You're very thoughtful, Childe Baili. But I need to correct you on one point."
Lin Mengya was still calm and composed. Compared to Baili Mao, who was a little aggressive, she was more like a master.
"First of all, it's not up to the Gong Family. Everything has to go through the big chamber of commerce."
At this moment, she looked at Baili Mao with a playful look.
"Childe Baili, you might want to ask. Since the big chamber of commerce is established by the Gong Family, it's no different from the Gong Family having the final say. Indeed, the Gong Family had a larger share at the beginning, but that was because we had to bear most of the operating funds of the big chamber of commerce. "
Baili Mao did want to continue arguing, but he didn't expect that she would take the initiative.
But he didn't expect that he could be so happy before because Lin Mengya had deliberately allowed him to do so.
This matter needed to be questioned. Lin Mengya had expected that the weaker aristocratic families would not dare to voice out even if they had different opinions, because they were afraid of the Gong Family.
In this way, it would become a one-man show for her.
Now, she really wanted to thank Bai Limao from the bottom of her heart.
At least, she could leave him a whole body in the future.
"Secondly, no matter in terms of words, money, or weights and measures, they won't be measured by any one of us. They will draw on the strengths of all the other families and create a new system. Don't worry, on this point, the big chamber of commerce will not be partial to any one family. "
Her words made Baili Mao speechless.
The people present were not fools. He could repeatedly attack and question the big chamber of commerce by saying that it was for the good of others.
But in the current situation, if he continued, it would highlight his personal grudge against the Gong Family.
This kind of thing could be used as a fig leaf if there was a high-sounding reason.
If there was no reason, it would be no different from a shrew cursing in the street.
Lin Mengya looked at Baili Mao, who was "cooperating well" with her with a smile. She thought that if the master of the Baili Family knew about it, he would be so regretful.
In the crowd, those who were quick-witted began to think about the benefits of joining the big chamber of commerce.
Most of them were attracted by the prospect she described. After all, it was the nature of businessmen to pursue profits.
If there were enough benefits, not to mention establishing a large chamber of commerce with the Gong Family, they could even overthrow the current structure of the Three Kings, One Saint, and One Emperor.
Lin Mengya just needed to wait quietly for them to digest and absorb the bait, and that would be the end of it.
On the other side, Bai Limao's complexion became increasingly ugly.
He didn't expect the Gong Family to be so cunning. He didn't expect them to give up the chance to rule the world.
When he looked at Gong Ya again, he finally understood that he had fallen into this woman's trap the moment he appeared.
"Young Master Baili, don't be impatient."
He was just about to get up and leave when Feng Qi stopped him from behind.
Bai Limao glanced at him coldly and asked in a low voice, "What? Now even you want to teach me how to handle things?"
Feng Qi shook his head with a respectful look on his face.
"That's not the case. If Young Master were to give up now, wouldn't you be letting the Gong Family benefit?"
"Heh, you make it sound so simple."
Now, Bai Limao hated Feng Qi as well.
If Feng Qi hadn't looked for him and told him that the Gong Family was just using the large chamber of commerce to rule the world, he wouldn't have followed his father's orders and messed up the Gong Family.
But now, he had gotten himself into trouble and even made a joke of himself in front of those useless people.
"Young Master, please calm down. I, Feng Qi, never speak without thinking. Young Master, you just need to wait for good news. Someone will naturally appear and stop their plot. "
Feng Qi lowered his head with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
Just as Lin Mengya was about to invite everyone to take their seats, a group of soldiers suddenly barged in.
"Who are you?"
Ning Liang, who was in charge of security, questioned.
The leader was a burly man who looked like a general, and the people behind him could be considered as elite soldiers.
Lin Mengya felt a little uneasy. Second Elder Brother and Bai Lu happened to be in charge of the security of Karghalik today. This group of people would definitely not escape their eyes.
Unless they had a reason to let these people in.
"Who is the master of the Gong Family?"
The man's face was very serious, and he looked like he was not angry at all.
Lin Mengya stood up and walked in front of the man.
"I am the master of the Gong Family."
"I am Chen Tao, the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Cavalry. Greetings, Master Gong."
Although Chen Tao had a murderous aura around him, his attitude was still considered humble and polite.
Lin Mengya bowed slightly in return. To her, the words' Imperial Cavalry 'still carried some weight.
Everyone knew that even though the emperor was only the ruler of the Wei Empire in name, his subordinates still possessed the power and means to intimidate those who tried to bully him.
The Imperial Cavalry was one of them.
Under normal circumstances, the Imperial Cavalry was only in charge of guarding the perimeter of Dragon City, and they only listened to the orders of the Emperor.
To put it bluntly, this was the Emperor's sharpest sword.
As long as the Imperial Cavalry was mobilized, almost no one could stop them.
Of course, the Emperor would not be so stupid as to choose to attack an enemy that he could not defeat.
Therefore, she was a little unsure of His Majesty's intentions.
"May I ask, Commander Chen, why did you come all the way here?"
Chen Tao took out a letter sealed with wax and solemnly handed it to her.
"Master Gong, you will understand after you read it. Please pack your luggage and come with me."
Let her go?
Lin Mengya immediately opened the letter and saw that it was written by the Emperor himself.
The content of the letter was for her to follow the messenger back to Dragon City after reading the letter.
As for why, the letter did not explain it.
She frowned, feeling a little suspicious.
The handwriting was correct, and it was sent by the Imperial Cavalry. There was no doubt that it was authentic.
However, she did not know why the Emperor wanted to summon her back to Dragon City at this critical juncture.
"I understand, but I have some matters to attend to. Can I leave for a few days?"
To his surprise, Chen Tao waved his hand.
The group of soldiers immediately surrounded her, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Master Gong, please do not disobey the Emperor's order!"
"I am not disobeying it, but I have some matters to attend to at home."
"Master Gong, the Emperor's order is an order that you must obey. Are you planning to betray the country?"
Chen Tao's voice gradually became dangerous.
Lin Mengya narrowed her eyes and laughed coldly in her heart.
Great, they are all here to plot against me, aren't they?
Baili Mao represented the aristocratic families to question her, but what about the Emperor? He was using this order to tell everyone that he still had the final say in Weiguo.
Otherwise, without his approval, even this large Chamber of Commerce would not be able to operate.
What a good imperial power! What a good show of intimidation!
After thinking it through, she was no longer in a hurry.
"Butler, arrange for Deputy Commander Chen to stay for the time being."
Chen Tao glared at her and reprimanded her, "Gong Ya, you are openly disrespecting the Emperor."
"Chen Tao, this is Feiye, not your Imperial Cavalry!"
Are you trying to stare at me? Are you trying to see who is louder?
Lin Mengya straightened her back. Her dignified look was even more intimidating than Chen Tao.
"Master Gong, I advise you to reconsider."
"Reconsider? Even His Majesty has no right to interfere with the internal affairs of Feiye. This is a rule that has been set since the founding of the country. Does His Majesty intend to take back the fiefdom of all the aristocratic families? "
Who didn't know how to say such words?
Her words pierced right into the hearts of those aristocratic families.
All of them looked at Chen Tao with vigilance and suspicion.
If His Majesty could make a move against the Gong family today, he might seize their power in the future.
Chen Tao understood the gravity of the situation and quickly explained, "His Majesty did not mean that. Gong family, don't talk nonsense!"
"If that's the case, Deputy Commander Chen, please rest in the courtyard. After all, this is the time for the Gong family to settle their internal affairs. As for His Majesty, I will visit him when I am free. Don't be anxious. "
Chen Tao wanted to forcefully arrest her, but before he could do anything, he heard a shrill voice coming from outside.
"Your Highness, congratulations to the Gong family for establishing a large Chamber of Commerce. I wish this event a complete success!"
Everyone in the room, including Lin Mengya, almost choked to death.
Who was The Lord? He was the noblest immortal in the entire Wei Country, or even the entire world.
But this congratulatory speech was so straightforward that it was scary. It was not the artistic style that The Lord should have!
At that moment, all the admirers of The Lord shook their heads frantically in their hearts.
No, this was definitely not The Lord's order. This was fake!
But soon, they were forced to accept reality.
This was because the messenger was the newly appointed Deputy Temple Master of the Divine Temple.
He looked at the old man who was dressed in white and looked like an immortal. He walked into the main hall with a smile and said with familiarity, "Congratulations, it's an auspicious opening!"
Everyone felt that this was a nightmare that they could not wake up from!
"Gong Ya greets you, Deputy Temple Master. What brings you to my humble abode?"
Lin Mengya had been through a lot, so she was not afraid at all.
She had seen the Deputy Temple Master in front of her on the Sacred Mountain. He was an old man who was as cold as the snow on the peak of the mountain.
Why was he smiling like a big Chihuahua now?
"The Temple Master had wanted to come personally to congratulate you, but the Temple has been very busy recently, so he has no time. Before I left, the Temple Master said that since it is a large Chamber of Commerce established by Master Gong, it is our own business. Since it is our own business, just let me know if you need any help! "
His waist was really big.
Lin Mengya felt that the eyes of the people around her were about to pop out.
That was the Divine Temple!
One had to know that the Divine Temple had never been biased towards any of the aristocratic families in the past.
It was said that in order to keep his position, a member of the royal family was willing to offer half of the country to the Divine Temple in exchange for help.
But what happened in the end? He was rejected at the door, and did not even get to see The Lord.
But now, the Divine Temple had taken the initiative to give Gong Ya a leg up!
This world was crazy!
