C525 The Meran Caravan
Time passed bit by bit.
Two hours, one day, ten days, half a month.
After wasting a bit of time, when he turned around to look, he would realize that a long, long time had passed.
Time was just like this. It was always so careless that it slipped away from any negligence.
Qin Country had waited for more than twenty days. The Outer Northern Region needed a new general. Xiao Huai'en came back and changed into a general suitable for guarding, along with an entire management system. The civil and military positions, big officials and small officials had to be arranged in an orderly manner. There was also construction, and all sorts of Imperial Court facilities had to be in good condition.
Only then could one rule.
It was not a short-lived victory.
However, Xiao Huai'en definitely wouldn't be able to come back now.
He still needed to guard the northern border in order to intimidate the counterattack of the northern Wei.
Therefore, the Qin Country would have to wait for a long time.
Xiao Yun had also waited for more than twenty days.
Waiting for fake Daoist priest to wake up.
He had indeed woken up.
Unfortunately...
He lost his memory.
He couldn't remember anything.
He had forgotten who he was, where he was, who Xiao Yun was, and what he was involved in.
No one else could understand this.
They all felt that fake Daoist priest was playing dumb.
However, Xiao Yun understood it very well.
He had lost too much blood and had gone through shock.
It was already half a miracle that this person was able to come back to life.
His brain had been deficient in blood. It was already very difficult for him not to become completely stupid. Just amnesia was already considered an extremely light side effect.
He was alive.
Xiao Yun felt lucky.
But at the same time, he did not get any useful information, which made him feel helpless.
This might be fate.
Or rather, his own scheme was still inferior to others.
The other party was more prepared than him.
The key figures were all watched by others.
It could be considered double insurance.
This was different from what he had imagined.
After all...
Even the Imperial Court could not do such a thing, yet they had done it.
They did not expect this to result in such a mistake.
It seemed extremely normal.
He sighed helplessly.
The clue was cut off again.
As long as the other party didn't make a move, he wouldn't be able to grasp the other party's chance at all.
This wasn't a good feeling.
It even makes me angry.
Xiao Yun rubbed his forehead hard and said, "Take care of him." Then he walked out of the room.
Actually, there was still one more move that could be used.
However, Xiao Yun did not really want to use it.
He could not help but feel conflicted.
Qing'er saw his dilemma and could not help but ask, "Does Young Master have something on his mind?"
Xiao Yun nodded and said, "I'm a little conflicted right now. Now, I've lost all clues. Even if I went to Moonlight Tavern to cause a big ruckus, I am afraid that I will not be able to find out the mastermind behind it. There was only one way to make the other party reveal his identity. However, this method isn't very appropriate. "
" What method? "
"Fake Daoist priest is now awake and has lost his memory. He won't be able to get anything out of him. But he definitely doesn't know this! We did a good job keeping it a secret. Those who knew about his memory loss... It's just the few of us. As long as we release the news... Just say that he's awake, but because of his injuries... He was still a little confused. Only after he fully recovered... Only when he could move and speak could we get the information. In this way, when the other party found out that he was still alive, they would send people to kill him. As long as we catch the assassin, perhaps we'll be able to get some clues out of him."
Qing'er blinked her eyes and said, "This method is pretty good. We will use it. Why not use it?"
Xiao Yun sighed and said, "If we use it, fake Daoist priest will be in danger. No one knows what kind of people they will send in. We also don't know if there are any spies in the Xiao family. If a servant suddenly appears in the Xiao family, he will be an expert of the Jianghu that we don't know about. Then, he would assassinate him. It would be really hard to guard against him even if he could catch him. But... fake Daoist priest is dead."
Qing'er blinked her eyes and said, "If he dies, then so be it. He was not a good person before."
Xiao Yun smiled bitterly and said, "How should I say about life and death? If they had each served their master before and used their own methods, life and death would not have mattered. Watching him die was naturally a matter without any pressure. But now, on one hand, he is our captive. On the other hand, he can also be considered our collaborator."
Qing'er sighed, "Young Master, you are really merciful."
Xiao Yun shook his head and said, "It is not compassion, nor is it kindness. It is the rules, and the rules. It is for long-term interests. He betrayed his former master and became our partner. Then we immediately send him to his death... This is not moral, more importantly, will there be anyone else who wants to cooperate with us in the future? At that time, even if our enemies die, they won't choose to cooperate with us. After all, they're all dead."
"So... there is such a saying."
"Yeah, that's why it's very troublesome."
Qing'er also fell into deep thought.
This matter was indeed very difficult to choose.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Yun finally shook his head and said, "This method is still not needed."
But at the same time, he still strengthened the guards.
After that incident last time, he knew that the other party's people were everywhere.
If there were still people from the Xiao family who knew about this incident, they would still send people to assassinate them.
However, after waiting for a few more days, nothing happened here.
Just like before.
Suddenly, everything stopped.
Those who were supposed to make a fuss stopped making a fuss.
Everything was peaceful and prosperous.
Although it was fake, it really made one feel comfortable.
It was rare for Xiao Yun to go out.
He walked on the streets of the capital.
Compared to when he had just arrived in this world, this place was more than twice as crowded when he first walked on this street.
There was a hubbub of voices and a sea of people.
The hawkers' shouts, the women's scolding of the children's sharp voices, and those naughty children's incessant laughter, interwoven together, worthy of being called prosperous.
The reason why they came out today was because there was finally something that made Xiao Yun happy.
The caravan from Molan Country had arrived!
Molan Country did not only have tobacco.
In that country, there were many strange things.
They did not want to make good things.
However, for Xiao Yun, as long as it was something that was not found in Qin Country, it was a good thing!
This was how business worked.
The initial stages of business were where there was no one else but themselves. The middle stages of business were where people had their own talents. The highest level of business was that they did not want it.
Xiao Yun could be considered to have completed three stages at the same time.
What Xiao family's workshop did was that it did not exist in the world, nor did the common people use it before. But now that they had it, what everyone wanted was to increase the demand of the consumers.
The Gold Hidden Pavilion was a place where people had their own way of doing things.
As for crossing the trade route, it was a place where people had their own way of doing things.
It was considered the most basic, but it was also the most profitable!
After the merchant group from Molan Country arrived, they did not start selling immediately.
Instead, they first told Xiao Yun the news.
Then, they let Xiao Yun decide what to do after that.
Xiao Yun's thoughts were much simpler.0
He had to sell these things for technology.
He needed to use Gold Hidden Pavilion's sales channel.
More importantly, they needed to teach them how to use them.
Also, he needed to cultivate their habits of using it.
For example, there was a type of beast skin in Molan Country.
It was also the main item for sale this time.
When Xiao Yun was in Molan Country, he had already decided on the basis of this kind of goods.
Although there were a lot of small beasts called Mo Beasts, they had to be domesticated immediately.
Those raised by humans could be used.
If they were not raised by humans, they would be sentenced to death if they were captured recklessly.
This was a matter of principle.
Molan Country also protected this law very well.
The current batch could be considered half wild and half reared.
Because there were quite a lot of wild animals now, and raising them wouldn't be able to achieve such a large scale in such a short period of time, this trade was conducted in the name of Molan Country.
The skin of the ink beast was extremely soft.
The feeling of touching it could even be addictive.
Its weakness was that it was too expensive. If one did not pay attention to its maintenance, its fur would be more easily damaged than any other fur.
But this was also its only weakness.
As for its advantages, it was hard to explain them in a short period of time.
Softness was one aspect, and the density was another. It was waterproof, elastic, and maintained a high degree of integrity.
This preservation ability meant that it could be directly made into loose hair and then stuffed into other fabric clothes, just like cotton, to be made into cotton clothes.
It was incomparably soft. Although it was a bit less interesting than velvet, it was still something that was made of velvet. It would always give people a "empty" feeling. However, this kind of thing was incomparably soft. When worn on the body, there was not a single part that was not comfortable. It could be perfectly fitted.
When made into fur and fur as one, it was even more superior to the texture of wool.
It could be made into clothes with fur and fur inside. In his previous life, it was known as something that had been conquered by Ni.
It was better to make leather boots and the like.
Xiao Yun, on the other hand, did not intend to sell these.
If he wanted to maximize the softness, he would be able to experience it for himself.
That was naturally a hat!
