Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 412 Merchant Li Yan
Although it was a secret operation, Li Er finally gave them some useful information.

Since Zhang Yi and the others are businessmen now, Li Er naturally gave them all kinds of business information held by the Tang government.

Among them, various commercial channels are included!
Li Yan, a native of Hanzhong, his family has been in business for several generations, and has always had very close economic ties with Tubo. In particular, he has a very good relationship with a big nobleman in Qingtang, so Zhang Yi and the others took him as their own. The key to the gate of Qingtang.

However, during this period of time, the Tubo people were a little frenzied. Like Li Yan, a Tang businessman who was closely connected with the nobles of Qingtang, they did not let them go, and they also robbed them when they encountered the same situation.

After being robbed, Li Yan suffered heavy losses, his vitality was severely injured, and his mental state was not very good. He is now recuperating at home.

Without further ado, Zhang Yi and the others ran directly towards Li Yan's house, and Zhang Yi also brought some nourishing and calming tonics with him, and he also took some with him.

"Nephew, do you think this Li Yan will help us? Also, do you think she is trustworthy?"

On the way to Li Yan's house, Xu Jingzong asked Zhang Yi that when people get older, they are more cautious and suspicious, and Xu Jingzong is like this now.

However, his doubts were not unreasonable. Li Yan's family had been in contact with the Tubo people for so many years, so they must have a way of survival, and they might join forces with the Tubo people to eat him.

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Uncle, don't worry, we have already investigated Li Yan's background information clearly. Besides, haven't we studied this issue before we set off? This Li Yan will not be sold. our."

Zhang Yi has great confidence in Li Yan!
Seeing that Xu Jingzong was still thinking, Zhang Yi continued: "Could it be that uncle has forgotten that this Li Yan was just robbed by the Tubo people, and at this time he will definitely not open his heart to the Tubo people again, because he I also know that people don't trust him at all. If he dares to join forces with the Tubo people to eat us, maybe the Tubo people will also eat him by the way. The risk is too great and it is not proportional to the benefits. made."

Although Xu Jingzong didn't know what Zhengbi was, he thought Zhang Yi's words made sense.

After persuading Xu Jingzong, Zhang Yi urged the team to speed up and rush to Li Yan's house.

He knew that looking for Li Yan was the most suitable choice now, even though Li Yan had just been looted by the Tubo people, he must have fear of the Tubo people in his heart.

But don't forget, Li Yan suffered heavy losses when he was robbed by the Tubo people this time, and even this time the plunder directly affected his family's financial resources and prestige seriously, so he had to find a way to find a new way to deal with it. Restore the wealth and status of his Li family.

At this time, when I approached him, and hinted a little cryptically about the huge power and financial resources behind him, then Li Yan would definitely obey his words.

No matter what, if he can make himself on the list, not only will he be able to re-consolidate his family's prestige and status, but his status will also rise because of his own strength.

Even Li Yan can use his own strength to turn it into a bargaining chip between him and Tubo.

Within an hour, Zhang Yi and others arrived at the small town where Li Yan was located.

In a small town adjacent to the border, except for some passing merchants, it is difficult to see a large number of people coming and going. Of course, in the war years, the army and refugees are all in groups.

And Zhang Yi's party has dozens of riders. Although they only brought a small number of people and horses, they are strong and strong, and it is difficult to attract people.

Entering the small town, Zhang Yi and others asked someone about Li Yan's residence, and then drove away directly.

Dozens of riders rushed to the door of Li Yan's mansion, and then stopped solemnly.

Because Li Yan was recuperating, and because he was in a period of turmoil, the gate of the mansion was closed.

When Zhang Yi and others got off their horses, they felt some movement in Li Yan's mansion. Zhang Yi and Yue Shili just looked at each other and smiled, but they didn't care, and still asked Wang Wu to knock on the door.

In times of turmoil, it is human nature to take precautions at home, let alone a stranger like Zhang Yi who has never met before stopping at the door of Li Yan's house with such a person, if it were Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi would also Be prepared.

Wang Wu patted on the door several times, and the door of Li Yan's mansion just opened a crack. A man with the appearance of a housekeeper poked his head out to ask Zhang Yi and others why they came.

Zhang Yi said to the steward with a smile: "Go back and tell your master that we are from Chang'an, if you have important matters, you can just talk to him."

The housekeeper glanced suspiciously at Yue Shi Wang Wu and the others behind Zhang Yi, and after confirming that they were indeed the men in Guanzhong, he re-fastened the door and went in to report.

Not long after, the old butler ran out again, but this time he was obviously not as cautious as before, but directly opened the door completely, and invited Zhang Yi and others in.

Since there were a lot of people who followed, Zhang Yi asked them to wait in the yard. He brought Yue Shiyi and Xu Jingzong brought a guard. A total of four people walked towards the main hall of Li Yan's mansion.

Li Yan's family has been in business for several generations, and their family background is quite rich. This set of yards alone is comparable to some ordinary noble families in Chang'an City.

In the main hall, a middle-aged man in his 30s sat at the head. From his haggard face, Zhang Yi guessed that Li Yan must have had a rough time during this time.

"Boy Zhang Yi, a native of Chang'an, you dare to come here to bother me, and please ask big brother Haihan."

Knowing that the person in front of him was Li Yan, Zhang Yi hurried up to salute, but when introducing himself, he also kept an eye on it and directly changed his name to Zhang Yi.

The words are different, but the call is the same, so that he doesn't have to worry about being exposed when someone calls him by his name.

Judging from the steward's report just now, Li Yan knew that the people opposite him had many backgrounds, so he didn't dare to push him too hard. Before Xu Jingzong saluted, he had already walked over.

"If it's there, it's my honor that brother Zhang Yi can come to me, Li."

According to the usual practice, Li Yan flattered him first, and these methods can be used to deal with the other party before he knows the real intention of the other party.

"I don't know Brother Zhang, why did you come to Hehuang to find me, Li, this time?"

Going around and going around will eventually return to the theme.

Zhang Yi smiled, looked back at Xu Jingzong, and then turned sideways to let Xu Jingzong take a step forward.

Just now, he and Li Yan were the ones who were courteous, leaving Xu Jingzong behind, and now it's time for Xu Jingzong to come forward, otherwise Li Yan will look at Xu Jingzong in the future.

Xu Jingzong took a step forward and said: "We came all the way from Chang'an, naturally we didn't come to drink tea in Guibao, we came here for business."
