At this time, Shen Longfei answered, ”Yes, Liu Zhenan's influence is very broad. He has his power in the three states of Jiangbei and several counties of Jiangnan.”

”It is said that the cargo ships that come and go between Jiangbei and Jiangnan in a thousand miles of Changjiang River are all owned by him, Liu Zhen. ”In terms of family wealth, perhaps even the top squire of Ming Zhou, Qi Chenyun, would not be able to compare with him.”

”I estimate that only the richest man in Yangzhou, Li Qianrong, can surpass him. But it is different from merchants. As the leader of the martial arts world, Liu Zhenan has a wide range of power and a large number of people. That is his strength. In this area, even Li Qianrong is slightly weaker. ”

”Li Qianrong.”

At the mention of him, everyone quieted down.

This was the richest man in Jiangnan with the same surname as the Tang Royal Family, the head of the Li Clan in Yangzhou, Li Qianrong!

If he came to Minzhou, he would be a legendary figure comparable to Old Duke Fan.

”Li Qianrong?”

Ye Qing, who was listening in from the side, paused for a moment.

Why was he unfamiliar with this name?

Li Qianrong, Li Zhijun's father, the head of the Jiangnan Li Merchant Union and one of the top ten richest men in the Tang Kingdom, was also one of his biggest enemies in his previous life.

”There are only a handful of people like Master Ye, Liu Zhenan, and Li Qianrong in the entire Tang Kingdom.” Yang Haitao sighed, ”I wonder when we can get to that point.”

Even if his family's Chamber of Commerce obtained the approval of the salt industry in the future, they would still be worlds apart from these three people.

Their family's wealth was around 10 million silver taels, while the other person had hundreds of millions, or even billions of silver taels. Not to mention the huge power and background behind them, how could wealth measure these things?
