Yi Xiaochuan had unexpectedly saved Liu Bang.
To be honest, this matter was really out of Li Xiao's expectations.
But he wouldn't care about anything.
"You brought this upon yourself!"
Li Xiaoyao shook his head. In the original novel, Yi Xiaochuan and Gao Yao were harmed by Liu Bang.
Therefore, there must be something hateful about a pitiful person.
Since Yi Xiaochuan had invited Liu Bang back, it had nothing to do with Li Xiao.
Right now, Li Xiao had too many things to take charge of, and he had to be summoned by Ying Zheng at any time.
He did not have much time to spend on Yi Xiaochuan.
Even if he planned to place a spy beside Yi Xiaochuan and become Yi Xiaochuan's life and death brother…
He didn't have the time to do this now.
It was enough as long as Yi Xiaochuan did not die.
As the main character of The Myths, Yi Xiaochuan would not die so easily.
The next morning.
Li Xiao finished washing up under the service of Lu Zhi and Lu Su. He put on his clothes and chatted with them for a while.
Only then did she leave her bedroom.
Having breakfast, Li Xiao did not plan to make a trip to Xianyang Palace today because Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, had nothing to deal with today.
At this time, Tian Sha came in front of Li Xiao and said,"
"Lord Marquis, Gui Sha has returned!"
"Arrange for him to go to the study first. We'll see him later!”
"Yes, Lord Marquis!"
An hour later, Li Xiao brought Tian Sha back to the study room to meet Gui Sha, one of his three generals.
Upon seeing Li Xiao, Gui Sha's face revealed an excited expression as he respectfully said,
"Gui Sha greets Lord Marquis!"
"You've worked hard!"
"It's not hard. It's all what this subordinate should do!”
Gui Sha had been arranged by Li Xiao to stay in Pei County to manage his wine business. Later on, he started to set up a caravan to sell wine to all parts of the world, so he moved his base to Kuaiji County City.
He had been running around for the past few months.
Ghost Fiend was Li Xiao's financial pillar outside.
In the past few months, the reason why Li Xiao's network was able to expand so crazily was largely due to Gui Sha's continuous supply of funds.
Gui Sha's brain was quite flexible, and he was also good at doing business. Li Xiao valued him very much.
Li Xiao sat on the armchair and asked Gui Sha,"
"How has it been in the past month? How's our business now?"
"Lord Marquis, previously in Kuaiji Prefecture, County Governor Fu Luo cooperated with us.
Therefore, our business expanded very quickly.
They quickly occupied Kuaiji Prefecture.
Moreover, we have already sold our top-grade wine to all parts of the world through the caravan.
Even outside of the competition, they are trading with us!"
"It's just that…"
Li Xiao raised his eyebrows and said,
"But what?"
"Because the business of our top-grade wine is too good, we can't sell ordinary wine.
Many of the local tyrants in the various counties already have opinions about us.
They started to boycott our merchant groups.
This subordinate returned to Xianyang to report this situation to Lord Marquis.”
"Moreover, the most serious problem now is our wine-making base, Kuaiji Prefecture.
The rich people in those places have directly sealed off our wine-making materials.
They even want to force us to hand over the method to make wine!
They didn't even give face to the county governor!”
The net that Li Xiao was currently controlling was attacking the wealthy families in these places. He naturally knew how terrifying the control of these local scholar-officials and noble families was.
It was simply much more awesome than the imperial court.
Even the local officials sometimes had to act according to their expressions.
As the county governor of a county, Fu Luo dared to look down on these people. It could be seen how arrogant he was!
Anyone with a bit of status would know that the wine business belonged to him, Li Xiao.
However, these people still did not put him in their eyes.
That was why it was said that the power of the scholars in the Great Qin Dynasty was greater than the imperial power.
Li Xiao snorted coldly and said,"
"If these people want to find trouble with me, we have to see if they have the strength!
Later, I will send people from the Network to Kuaiji Prefecture to find trouble with them.
If they still didn't know what was good for them, there was no need for them to stay in Kuaiji.”
"As for the obstructions in the other counties.
Get the caravan and the net to cooperate and put pressure on the scholar-officials and nobles in those places.
Do you want me to spit out the meat that you've eaten?
Let's see who dares to play hardball with me!”
"Yes, Lord Marquis!"
Gui Sha's face revealed a look of admiration. With the Guardian Marquis behind them, with such a great god around, who would they be afraid of? It was also because of this that their business of fine wine was so big.
Otherwise, they would have been eaten up by the local authorities.
This was also the reason why Li Xiao wanted to become an official in the court.
For someone like Yi Xiaochuan who had opened hundreds of restaurants in the Great Qin Dynasty, they would probably all be eaten up by the officials in the end.
"Oh right, I have a new business for you.
If he succeeded, the profits would be huge!”
Gui Sha quickly asked,
"Lord Marquis, what business do we have?”
"Xuan paper business!" Li Xiao said indifferently.
Gui Sha could not help but ask,
"Xuan paper? What's that?"
After that, Li Xiao explained to Gui Sha what this Xuan paper was, its uses, and the general manufacturing method.
Gui Sha's face revealed a shocked expression as he said,
"Lord Marquis, is it really possible to create something as magical as Xuan paper in this world?
If he could really make Xuan paper.
And if it was as miraculous as Lord Marquis had said, those scholar-bureaucrats and teachers would probably fight over it.”
The Great Qin Dynasty generally used bamboo slips to engrave words. If something as convenient as rice paper really appeared, those scholar-bureaucrats and nobles would definitely not be stingy with money to buy it.
Xuan paper might even be more expensive than gold.
These people would buy in large quantities.
This was because these scholar-bureaucrats and noble families all had a large number of books.
This was the true foundation of these families.
They controlled the inheritance of knowledge.
With the Xuan paper, they could more easily display the knowledge in the books.
"Of course it's true. However, you must send someone to strictly control the manufacturing technology of White Paper.
You can't let this leak out.
In a few days, I will find some skilled craftsmen to start making Xuan paper.
Bring them back to Kuaiji Prefecture.
He turned the place into a paper factory and controlled all the craftsmen.”
"Yes, Lord Marquis!"
Li Xiao nodded. The moment he obtained the Paper Making Technique, he was not thinking about replacing the old with the new, but about how to create value for himself.
Sell these Xuan papers.
It was definitely a profitable industry.
At the very least, he would have to wait until he had earned enough before Li Xiao would take out the technique of the Xuan paper.
Just as a big shot said.
To do great things, one must first have money, second, and third.
Without money, what could he do?
"It's not easy for you to return to Xianyang. Go and have a good gathering with Earth Fiend and Heaven Fiend!
It's not too late to do what I told you to do!"
"Many thanks, Lord Marquis!"
After sending Tian Sha and Gui Sha away, Li Xiao began to deal with all kinds of information about the network on the table.
......
At this moment, in a tavern in Xianyang City.
When Xiang Liang heard that Yi Xiaochuan wanted to borrow a large sum of money from him to buy a restaurant, his expression turned cold.
Originally, Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu were already unhappy that Yi Xiaochuan had left their uncle and nephew to mingle alone.
If Yi Xiaochuan had not saved their lives, Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu would have fallen out with Yi Xiaochuan long ago.
Furthermore, Yi Xiaochuan had learned martial arts and many other things from them.
It was hard to say who owed who.
However, when Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu saw Yi Xiaochuan hanging out with a local ruffian like Liu Bang in Xianyang, they were instantly displeased.
He was following a hooligan, but he was actually unwilling to follow his uncle and nephew.
One could imagine the feelings of the Xiang uncle and nephew.
Especially after Li Xiao's words earlier, Xiang Yu felt a little awkward. Xiang Liang, who was beside him, shook his head at Yi Xiaochuan and said,"
"Xiaochuan, do you know how much it costs to rent a restaurant in the bustling streets of Xianyang City?
The cheapest one cost more than ten gold coins!
We really can't take out this money.
You can work with us anytime.
There was no need for him to mess around there!”
Upon hearing this, Yi Xiaochuan's face revealed a look of disappointment. He did not notice the coldness on Xiang Liang's face at all and thought that they were preparing to rebel and really did not have any extra money. Yi Xiaochuan could only say in disappointment,"
"Alright, I didn't expect that opening a restaurant in Xianyang would cost so much money.
Then I'll think of another way myself!”
"Master, I'll take my leave first!"
"Alright, come back and visit us when you're free!”
"I understand!"
Xiang Yu wanted to say something, but Xiang Liang shook his head at him. If he took out a large sum of money and gave it to Yi Xiaochuan, he might as well use it to prepare for a rebellion.
Furthermore, Xiang Liang also felt that even though Yi Xiaochuan kept addressing them as big brother and master, they were still able to sense that Yi Xiaochuan was not as powerful as them.
However, he was never willing to get close to them.
Not to mention helping them.
Since he didn't like them, why did he come to borrow money from them?
......
Yi Xiaochuan returned to the courier station where Gao Yao and the others were staying in a daze.
"Old Gao, my master and the others can't afford to open a restaurant for the time being.
We'll think of a way ourselves!"
Gao Yao's expression changed."
"Alright, let's think of another way!"
Yi Xiaochuan nodded and entered a bedroom on the second floor. Then, he began to change the dressing on Liu Bang's bruised face.
"Big Brother, it'll be fine after a few more days!”
"Thank you, brother!"
Liu Bang agreed on the surface, but as he looked at Yi Xiaochuan's back, his eyes revealed a vicious look.
He remembered that Li Xiao had castrated him because he had said something about Yi Xiaochuan.
As expected, Li Xiao was Yi Xiaochuan's enemy.
No wonder he beat Yi Xiaochuan up so ruthlessly last time.
Damn it, you've implicated me!
