Yan Ze minded his own business and found a bed in his room to lie on. Lu JinNian rubbed his nose, went to the embroidery workshop's warehouse and pulled a blanket over him before starting to flip through the documents.

There was no other way. As a good master, while he was squeezing out his subordinates' labor, he had to give them a certain amount of care. Otherwise, how could he continue to squeeze out more?

The case of the nomads was very different from that of the Central Plains. They were collectively known as the Huns, and were taught the rule of the Huns and the Khan of the Huns.

There were also many small tribes that were not competitive in private, and they were often annexed by other powerful tribes.

However, as long as these powerful tribes still respected the Huns, the Huns would turn a blind eye and pass by.

Powerful hunters could hunt for food, and strong people could enslave the weak. The law of the jungle dictated that the strong preyed on the weak.

However, the recent situation in which the Huns were respected and the tribes underneath were swallowing each other and consuming each other had been broken. A small tribe, which was originally mediocre, had suddenly risen to prominence and was comparable to several large tribes on the prairie.

Moreover, the leader of this tribe was very good at dealing with merchants from the Central Plains and the Western Regions.

The reason Hun Kahn had sent his envoys and relatives this time was to discuss with the Ming Kingdom and obtain the sole right to do business with the other markets of the Ming Kingdom. The merchants who did business with him could only contact him, but not the others from the other tribes.

The princess came to kiss him as a show of goodwill, wanting the princess of the Ming Xuan Country to be his hostage. The imperial power of the Central Plains was supreme, and with Princess Ming Xuan present, the caravans would also run to the Hunchbacked Khan to save face for the princess, instead of going to other tribes.

Yan Ze woke up after a short rest. He lifted the blanket from his body and drowsily saw Lu Jinsheng holding onto a file. He looked very unhappy and advised, ”Miss, you have to remain calm.”

Lu JinNian tapped the file lightly with the back of his finger, ”The Hun Ji-han thinks quite well, who gave him the courage?” Liang Jingru? Does he even know who Liang Jingru is?

”The Huns have a long term dominating grassland, which directly blocks the communication channel between the Central Plains and the Western Regions. They also have some confidence. What if our king doesn't agree to exchange the marriage alliance and directly seals off the business road?”

Yan Ze began to seriously consider how he could quickly transfer and collect the assets of the Great Prairie and the Western Regions if the trading road suddenly had to be sealed.

Lu JinNian glanced at him, ”Don't worry, you think that only merchants make money by opening up their trading routes, and the Huns also get a lot of oil. Besides, the tea leaves and silk from the Central Plains are very popular in the prairie and the Western Regions.”

”Even if the Hun Kai-han really had the heart to shut down the business road, it would only cause people to complain in the end, and his reputation would drop even further.”

”The name of the tribe is Shou, and the name of the leader is Yenaga. He is only twenty-five years old, and very young.”

Lu JinNian suddenly said excitedly, ”I think highly of him. After all, Anubis is old and decrepit, so he is very generous. Yan Ze, have you come into contact with Yenaga?”

”…” Therefore, when her young mistress talked about proper business, it always involved her appearance …

”I'm a businessman. As long as it's profitable, I can be friends with anyone.”

Lu JinNian, ”...” If it was for money, why would he throw away all his integrity? He was tired and kind, why did his subordinates speak so naturally of their shamelessness?

”Alright, we have to do something about the marriage alliance when we have no other choice.” We are the victors of this war, and we are also wealthy and powerful. If the Huns were to come up with something and we agreed to it, what kind of great power's bottom line of honor would we have?
