You were taken hostage, why pursue the Enemy's Empress?

Chapter 22 – Don't give Ying Wuji any chance to turn the tables!

The business really can't go on anymore.

That's true.

Kingdom Qian practices legalist and agricultural policies, considering anything other than farming and warfare as crooked ways. This has created a war machine that other major kingdoms fear. Other industries within the country are extremely distorted, and there is naturally no environment for cultivating merchants.

Because of the lack of money, a group of people were allowed to go abroad for business, but most of them did not do well.

There's no way.

The resources are not good.

Kingdom Qian is very scarce internally, and exporting goods is difficult. How much money can foreign merchants really make?

Ying Wuji patted the merchant's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, take your time. What happened exactly?"

The merchant's emotions eased a bit and said, "To be honest, young master, you should know the situation in our Kingdom Qian. Apart from copper and iron mines, only crops are worth looking at. However, Li Kingdom has ordinary crops too. The only thing that can make money is the special product of Kingdom Qian, the Emperor Bamboo Grass, which we sell as paper."

Emperor Bamboo Grass is a high-quality raw material for making paper. Although the world structure is similar to the Spring and Autumn Period of the previous life, productivity has developed a lot. Papermaking technology appeared two hundred years ago and has become quite mature now.

Papermaking is one of the few businesses that Kingdom Qian can export.

The merchant continued, "But as you know, Flame Kingdom also produces Emperor Bamboo Grass. We have never gotten along, so we have always been competing with them. Although their paper quality was better in the past, their prices were also high. They sold to the rich at high prices, and we sold to the poor at low prices, which allowed us to survive.

However, half a month ago, they suddenly lowered their prices on a large scale. Now, whether poor or rich, everyone is buying their paper. We have stocked up batch after batch of goods, and if we continue like this, they will start to rot."

Xun Zhiyin snorted coldly, "Why don't you lower your prices even more than them?"

"Sir Xun! We are already making thin profits and selling in large quantities. We have already lowered our prices once. If we lower them again, we will really lose money."

The merchant was at a loss and looked at Ying Wuji, "Young master! Sir Xun! Do you have any way to stop them from being so ruthless?"

Xun Zhiyin sneered, "You really think I'm a god. The embassy is here to protect you, but doing business is your own affair. Besides, Flame Kingdom is richer than us, and we are archenemies. Even if ten young masters come, it won't help.

Of course, I'm not saying that young master is not capable enough, but this matter really can't be solved."

Huh?This guy is like a maggot, he can't hurt anyone but he's just disgusting.

Xun's family is one of them.

Although Ying Wuque and his mother were born as commoners, his mother was very cunning and passed on a message from Xun's family: do not give Ying Wuji any chance to turn the tables, even if the gap between his ability and Ying Wuque's is like a chasm.

As long as they do well, they will have a bright future when they return to Kingdom Qian, so he has the confidence to deal with Ying Wuji.

In fact.

Ying Wuji was really angry. He had guessed that Xun Zhiyin had found a new patron, but he didn't expect him to be so arrogant.

He reached out his hand and said, "Give me the transmission symbol, I will personally talk to my father the king!"

The transmission symbol is an extremely high-level rune, with the effect of bridging vast distances. Only those who are proficient in the divine realm of rune can have a certain chance of drawing it. It is a very precious resource and is kept by Xun Zhiyin.

Xun Zhiyin sighed, "Young master, His Majesty has ordered that the transmission symbol is extremely precious and cannot be used unless it is a matter of national security. Please forgive me for not giving it to you. This matter is not urgent. If you write a letter, it might still be possible."

Ha!

Write a letter?

It takes more than two months for a letter to come and go. By the time the seal is obtained, the merchants will have already starved to death.

Ying Wuji's eyes were a bit gloomy. "Good! You are very good!"

Xun Zhiyin clearly perceived the killing intent in his eyes and said with a stiff smile, "Please don't blame me, young master, I am just following the king's orders!"

For a while.

The merchants were all at a loss.

Seeing their expressions, Xun Zhiyin finally showed a satisfied expression.

Without the seal, what can you do even if you have a solution?

However, to his surprise.

Ying Wuji looked at Xun Zhiyin coldly. This dog must have been prepared to completely tear his face with him in order to serve his new master.

He turned around and comforted the merchants, "Don't be too anxious. Wait a few days, I have other ways to help you."
