At sunset, in Sima Yingming's residence, Li Luoyang came to the courtyard with several bottles of immortal drunkenness. When passing through the hall, Li Luoyang always felt that there seemed to be a great change. The original ordinary lobby became spotless, and even looked golden. Li Luoyang didn't care much. It is estimated that the palace rewarded Sima Yingming with some silver and renovated it again.
Sima Yingming in the courtyard warmly welcomed Li Luoyang. As soon as he met, he gave Li Luoyang a big hug: "brother Luoyang, I miss you very much during my absence."
Li Luoyang smiled and joked, "do you miss me or my wine?"
Put a few bottles of immortal drunk on the table. Sima Yingming's eyes widened a lot: "think, think, ha ha, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come
"Lord, what makes you so happy?" Li Luoyang can see that Sima Yingming is much happier than usual. He actually offered to let Li Luoyang stay drunk. You know, Li Luoyang doesn't drink. Even if he wants to drink, it's just a cup.
Sima Yingming poured the wine himself, and then handed the wine cup to Li Luoyang: "the reason why I am so happy is thanks to the blessing of Luoyang brothers."
"I?" Li Luoyang looked at him with puzzled eyes. He realized what he had seen. Before he left Luoyang, Sima Ying had brought perfume into the palace to prepare for filial piety. Now it seems that perfume has played a role in Sima Yingming's award.
"Your perfume, when I bring it into the palace, the queen is very fond of it. I also get a lot of reward. Is this not your blessing?" Sima Ying Ming drank the glass of wine in a gulp, and her face was red.
Li Luoyang just smiled and nodded. He was waiting, waiting for Sima's next words. When he handed perfume to Sima Yingming, Li Luoyang hinted at Sima Ying, and the cooperation between the two is now the time to decide if it can be done.
"Luoyang brothers, things have come to this stage. It seems that our cooperation needs to be followed up." with this advantage, Sima Ying Ming naturally wants to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Li Luoyang. Only that perfume can make the palace people fondle admiringly and sell it to the palace at a very high price. Sima Ying Ming also wants to salvage it. Anyway, he is only responsible for sending the goods into the palace. It's enough for Li Luoyang to worry about other things.
"Since it comes to cooperation, I have one thing to ask the Lord for help."
"Oh? But it doesn't matter. The business of Luoyang brothers is my business."
"The Lord must have known that I left Luoyang for some time. However, during the time I left, someone deliberately drunk the immortals built by Wenjun and fed up almost all the brewing raw materials in Luoyang. As a result, we can only limit the purchase and increase the price every day. I don't know whether the Lord knows this?"
In Luoyang City, liumen and Sima Yingming are the most powerful. Since there are no clues and news about liumen, Li Luoyang naturally doesn't want to let Sima Yingming go. Li Luoyang just wants to tell Sima Yingming that he has encountered difficulties and see if he can really help. Frankly, he is also testing whether the partner is sincere enough.
Sima Ying's face was as heavy as water. After taking a sip of the immortal, she slowly said: "I can't tell you, after you left, did the businessmen in Luoyang reach a consensus and began to buy large quantities of raw materials for making wine? At that time, I realized that they were doing this for Wenjun Ya building, so they sent people secretly to investigate, but now there is no result, and I don't know why the businessmen suddenly became so united."
"Lord, haven't you investigated the merchant Federation? I believe you can easily find out a clue with your rights?"
Sima Yingming shook his head: "It's no use. I secretly investigated the federations of merchants, and I didn't find that they did anything unusual. I even investigated their accounts in person, and I didn't find any problems. I knew they had the full strength to organize businessmen to unite against one goal, but if they really did, I could only say that their strength was too mysterious to find any flaws."
Li Luoyang turned his eyes and said along with Sima Yingming's words: "Lord, isn't the court afraid that this organization will eventually become Manichaeism?"
"What do you mean?"
"Think about it, the merchant Federation has its branches everywhere, and there are people in big cities and small cities. It can be said that they almost control the economic lifeline of the whole country. If they are really targeting me, will they target the imperial court in the future? They have a lot of money in their hands, which may even exceed the national treasury, and they are very mysterious. Isn't the imperial court afraid of these people turning against each other To him? "
Sima Yingming smiled and whispered: "Brother Luoyang, I know what you mean by these words. You want me to play to the court and use the power of the court to investigate the merchant Federation. I tell you the truth, even if the court sends someone to investigate, the merchant federation can't find any results. There are no problems with their books and taxes, and the court won't investigate them out of thin air. If it's really like this Why, who else dares to do business in China in the future? "
"Lord, I don't mean that. I'm just considering for the imperial court. I'm worried that an organization with more power than Manichaeism will appear in the future. Will the imperial court have the strength to deal with it at that time?"
"Don't worry, there is Zhou Xiangong. Even if they are strong, they don't dare to do anything."
Looking at Sima Yingming with a confident face, Li Luoyang shook his head reluctantly: "Lord, I'm worried that the merchant Federation has not revealed any flaws now because they are worried about the existence of the military God. If the military God drives the crane west one day, they will have no constraints. How can the imperial court deal with them if they show their faces at that time?"
"Hahaha, brother Luoyang, you are too worried. The imperial court naturally has its own way. Besides, now we can't find out any criminal acts committed by the merchant Federation. If we let the imperial court intervene directly, I'm afraid it will be ridiculed by the world. If they are afraid of Zhou Xiangong's delay, now should be their best time, Zhou Xiangong Gong has no time to deal with Manichaeism in the north. If they really have a plot, they should do it now. "
Looking at Li Luoyang, he wanted to continue. Sima Yingming immediately raised his hand and stopped him: "brother Luoyang, let's put this matter aside for the time being. Let's talk about our cooperation."
Li Luoyang could see Sima's unhappy feelings on the face of Ying Ying, so he had to stop mentioning it. He didn't think that even Sima Yingming himself could not find out the clues of the Federation of businessmen. This is beyond Li Luoyang's expectation. The two men drank the immortals drunk, and discussed the details of the perfume business. Finally, they decided that the two people would start working together with 55 divisions. Li Luoyang is responsible for providing perfumes, and Sima Ying Ming sells these perfumes to those in need, and the biggest customer comes from the court.
