Soon it was night, and everyone lit a bonfire, roasted a few lambs, and drank the strong wine that Zhao Yiming brought out. It was a joyous scene.
Bahai laughed and took a sip of the old wine and said, "You people in the Starry Empire are so ingenious that you can brew such good wine, unlike us who only make some swill out of bugs."
Dad Ba also said: "Bahai is right. In the past, if we wanted to get these things, we had to pay a high price. Only smugglers could make huge profits from them.
Since the reconciliation between the chieftain and the empire, there have been a lot of people doing business here, and most of them are very fair. We can get more items in exchange for the same things. "
Bahai drank another drink and said: "But some people are just not satisfied. That bastard Atifan has united many people to speak ill of the toast master everywhere.
Fortunately, that guy is also known as the wisest person in our return to Xinjiang. I said he is just a bastard. He has been inciting our company to become independent from others all day long, and he also wants to rob the things of the imperial merchants. I think he is jealous. "
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention. When Zhao Yiming and the others heard this, it was undoubtedly a very important message. It seemed that this trip to Tusi City was not as easy as imagined.
Sun Yungang smiled and said to Lai Yuxin: "I don't know what the Bahai warrior was talking about just now, and who Atifan is. It sounds like he is quite prestigious."
Lai Yuxin laughed and said: "There is such a thing. Atifan is known as the wisest man in Xinjiang. He is very close to some middle-level people. He always plays his own tricks to increase his popularity.
He doesn't know what's wrong with him recently. A group of guys with real power have united to propose independence in Xinjiang and split from the Star Empire. They also said that heavy taxes should be deducted from merchants, and if they don't pay, their belongings will be confiscated. "
Zhao Yiming frowned and said, "Does this person have mental problems? Huijiang currently only belongs to the Fanxing Empire in name, so what's the difference between it and independence? Why do we have to fight for such a title?
Once you return to Xinjiang and become truly independent, you will threaten the gateway to the empire. No matter what aspect you consider, the empire will need a war to resolve future troubles! "
Lai Yuxin nodded and said: "Master Zhao is indeed a famous figure. What he said is the same as what my master said. It was because of my master's intervention that this matter was temporarily suppressed."
Zhao Yiming continued: "As for taxing merchants heavily and confiscating their goods if they don't pay, this is obviously killing the goose that lays the goose to lay eggs. It is undeniable that the transactions between the empire's merchants and those returning to Xinjiang have indeed benefited a lot.
But once the benefits outweigh the risks. Then the merchants will retreat. Although we will suffer a great loss by then, I think your losses will be even more serious. "
Lai Yuxin nodded again and said: "Master Zhao is right. After more than ten years of development, we rely heavily on the empire's supply in many aspects.
However, these people are short-sighted. Doing this now can quickly accumulate wealth for them, so many people completely agree with his views.
Although my master has a very high prestige, he can't block other people's financial paths. At present, he only relies on the influence of my senior brother to barely maintain it. "
Yao Qing interjected from the side: "My senior brother's family is the largest family in Huijiang, so what he said can still have a certain effect for the time being.
But Atifan is jumping up and down very much now. Even within my senior brother's family, there are many voices of opposition, so if it can't be resolved as soon as possible, I'm afraid it won't be suppressed. "
Zhao Yiming took a deep breath. He didn't expect this matter to be so complicated. It seemed that he was going to lose a few more hairs this time. Why did this kind of thing always happen to him?
When he turned around, he saw Sun Yungang looking at him with a longing expression. For this guy, it was easy for him to kill people, but to deal with this kind of thing, he was simply exhausted.
Zhao Yiming nodded, pretending to be relieved, and then gave him a comforting look, and a smile appeared on the latter's face.
He hesitated for a moment. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. He had a dark eye on Huijiang. It seemed that he needed to know more about it.
He said with a smile: "We are outsiders after all. I don't know who else can hold power in the entire Huijiang except Bayi Toast."
Bahai laughed: "Apart from the chieftain, Mr. Hong Zhihui is the most powerful. All our regular combat power is under the control of Mr. Hong."
Lai Yuxin said with a smile on his face: "Then there is my senior brother Wu Wenyang that I just mentioned. Their Wu family is also very powerful in Xinjiang.
Moreover, my senior brother also married Hong Zhihui's only daughter, Hong Baixue. The two families were a strong alliance, and even the chieftain had to give him some thin noodles.
The rest are some small and medium-sized families. Their individual power is not strong. However, the Atifan has been very powerful recently. They have the potential to be connected as one, so they should not be underestimated. "
Zhao Yiming nodded and said, "Then I wonder what Hong Zhihui's attitude is?"
Lai Yuxin hesitated and said: "Master Hong has never expressed his position, but my senior brother is his son-in-law and should be able to represent some of his opinions."
Yao Qing suddenly retorted: "That's not true. Lord Hong's only nephew, Hong Haiyang, has been very close to Atifan recently. Maybe this is also a signal sent by Lord Hong."
Zhao Yiming frowned. It seemed that Hong Zhihui was betting on both sides. No matter which side won, he would be invincible.
He thought about it seriously and said: "It seems that the root of all this lies in this Atifan. Only by fighting with him can you know how much he weighs."
Sun Yungang smiled slightly and said, "Young master Zhao, don't worry too much. Today is different from the past. I believe that the government agency has already copied your war weapons. At worst, we can just fight."
Li Wu also laughed and said: "I think the second prince is right. Why don't we go back home now so that we can test the power of the imitation war weapons."
Although Lai Yuxin stayed in Huijiang, he was not indifferent to worldly affairs. On the contrary, they paid special attention to the situation on the entire continent and also had detailed information on the battle to defend Fengcheng.
He naturally knew the power of those machines, and he couldn't help being secretly surprised, but he said with a smile on his face: "The second prince is just joking. The master and the chieftain still hope to have long-term harmony with the empire."
Everyone naturally changed the topic, but Lai Yuxin's eyes were rolling around, and he had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
