"What the hell is the Lan up to in Suzhou!"
Even though they tried their best to restrain themselves, the various foreign affairs officials and accountants sitting in the hall keenly felt the pressure from the top, or more accurately, the uncontrollable anger.
During this time, there were direct reports printed with the nine-petal lotus pattern every day, and sometimes even more than ten letters were delivered in a single day. The content inside was all about the interruption of business dealings between the Lan family in Gusu and the Jiang family. Within ten days, the the Yunmeng Jiang Family closed all their shops in the Gusu area, and The Lan family withdrew all their business from the Yunmeng area.
The meaning is quite clear, Gusu's Lan family wants to cut off ties with the the Yunmeng Jiang Family, but this is the most puzzling aspect.
The signs of the solar eclipse may have passed for several years, but the destruction caused by the war has had a significant impact on agriculture and water transport. Jiang Wanyin exerted a great deal of effort and only with the support of Lanling Jin did he manage to barely restore the livelihood of the people of Yunmeng. Nevertheless, it will still take several more years to completely revive the prosperity and bustle of Yunmeng.
At this time, money becomes extremely important. Otherwise, Jiang Wanyin wouldn't have needed to climb up to Jin Guangshan. He repeatedly tells himself that it was for the lifelong happiness of his sister, and to fulfill her long-cherished wish that he agreed, subconsciously avoiding a fact he was unwilling to admit under any circumstances.
Jiang Wanyin is very capable and has a strong personality. After all, he has been groomed as the heir to the family since he was young. Despite the deep influence of family conflicts, his strength cannot be denied. However, his extreme temperament has always prevented him from introspection, and being immersed in his mother's resentment makes it difficult for him to see the truth clearly. He cannot see through reality or people's hearts, especially his own constant insistence on "why me."
"Master, do you think... should we personally visit the Cloud Recesses to have a talk? If there are any misunderstandings, it's better to clarify them early to avoid..."
"Talk? Talk about what! I think Lan Xichen is deliberately opposing me!"
"Marshal Ze Wu's character should not be like this, and besides... Sect Leader, the Lan's external affairs are currently managed by Lord Hanguang."
"Are you saying it's Lan Er's intention?"
"I cannot confirm, but Marshal Ze Wu is prudent in his actions. Even if there were to be changes in the rules, there should be a reason for it, and official documents should be issued for negotiation. The sudden closure of the Gu Su shopfront this time, and before this, we have heard that..."
"What have you heard? Just say it."
"We have heard that Lord Hanguang has been acting somewhat recklessly during this period of time, and there have been many criticisms even within The Lan family. However, Marshal Ze Wu, being fond of his younger brother, has suppressed all of it."
If placed in the past, no one would believe that Lan Wangji would act so recklessly, but now it's hard to say. From traveling alone to challenging the Jin family's Royal Water Dungeon, to suddenly announcing that Lan Wangji will take charge of external affairs despite never previously de Lin g with mundane matters, and then recently hearing that he reorganized the branches and affiliated Immortal Sect of The Lan family without Lan Xichen's consent, all these things make people suspect whether Lan Wangji has been possessed. Of course, possession is highly unlikely, as even if Nie Mingjue and Lan Xichen joined forces, they might not be able to subdue Lan Wangji within a hundred moves.
"Has Lan Wangji personally intervened in this matter?"
"Never before has any order been issued without the approval of Lan Xichen."
"Lan Xichen? Isn't he Lan Xichen's person? In that case, it seems that the path is clear, and Lan Xichen has also agreed."
"Master, that's why I said, should we personally visit the Cloud Recesses? The business in Gusu may not be huge, but it accounts for a full thirty percent of the Jiang family's income. If it is abruptly cut off, we will temporarily be unable to find a replacement, and a prolonged delay may affect the Jiang family's operations next year."
"I'll allocate the harvest from the water transport to cover it first, and then I'll think of another way."
"Well..." (hesitating)
"What's wrong?"
"Master, the harvest of water transport... is now less than ten thousand taels."
"(Slams the table) Wasn't it just brought back a hundred thousand taels!? Tell me, what's going on!"
"Master, the Jin family came to press, so... so..."
It was really risky to recite the poem "Jiang Wan" without taking a breath. He forgot that when he borrowed the Huang and Bai objects from the Jin family, it was because of the recent marriage between the two families, and with Jiang Yanli present, everything was negotiable. But now... Hmph, with Jin Guangshan's temperament, he would indeed keep a close eye on the Jiang family. It's already considerate of him to leave behind ten thousand taels.
Just thinking about the money made him furious, but not at Jin Guangshan, but at Wei Wuxian.
