The only waterway inland is Lanjing Lake. Lanjing Lake is in the shape of a gourd. The entrance of the gourd flows into the Yuncang River. The Yuncang River runs through the north and south and can reach Jiangzhou. Jiangzhou is an important trading port for Nanyue and Dazhou. In the past, Jiangzhou was actually just a small county town. Because the business here is developed, many merchants bought property here, so Jiangzhou was formed and expanded day by day.

Nanjiang Prefecture is under the jurisdiction of Nanyue, and Beijiang Prefecture is under the jurisdiction of Dazhou. There is a set of laws there, and there are no less than a hundred merchant ships coming and going from here every day.

The ship Xiao Mo picked up was a cargo ship coming from South Vietnam. Except for Xiao Yi and his friends, the rest were from other people from the South Vietnam Chamber of Commerce.

Of course, the ship belongs to Xiao Yi, which means that the merchant ship belongs to the official owner of Nanyue Chamber of Commerce. As long as it is a member of the Nanyue Chamber of Commerce, you can deliver the goods by paying a sum of money.

Most people are willing to hand over to the official to ship, after all, it is safe and the shipping fee is relatively small.

This benefit is only possible to become a senior member of the South Vietnam Chamber of Commerce. Other small merchants can only carry other private cargo ships to buy and sell goods.

Shi Luo heard Xiao Yi mention it before, but she was really unfamiliar with these things. When she and Xiao Mo arrived at the wharf, they saw so many merchant ships coming and going, and were shocked again.

Xiao Mo said: "I know why Da Zhou is so polite to us?"

Shi Luo looked at him, and she felt that Xiao Mo had something in his words.

Xiao Mo said: "Nanyue's waterway shipbuilding industry is developed. Who do you think it was opened to open this waterway? Most of these merchant ships were built by the Dong family. In other words, we Nanyue get a piece of the pie of this fat Grand Canal."

Shi Luo was shocked.

She only knew that Nanyue was so powerful, but she didn't expect that Nanyue was so powerful.

In comparison, although the Great Zhou was prosperous, it was all based on Nanyue. Once Nanyue was unhappy one day, it would be enough for Dazhou to have a drink.

No wonder the emperor was so polite to them. Lord Xie and the others were almost shitting in the Great Zhou Palace, and the Great Zhou emperors turned a blind eye.

Xiao Mo said: "However, the great Zhou Dynasty has abundant resources, iron ore, copper ore, and coal mines controlled by Wei Congxi are also lacking in South Vietnam. The output of these minerals in the Jin Kingdom is also very rich. The Jin Kingdom also has very powerful war horses and countless sheep. The grassland tribe's things are not enough to see compared to the Jin Kingdom."

Shi Luo nodded. It was indeed like this. Several countries each took their needs, so they had peace of mind even after so many years of friction.

Xiao Mo took her to continue walking along the canal, with the crowds and bustling along the way.

Shi Luo also felt excited.

Xiao Mo glanced at her: "Is your legs okay?"

Shi Luo nodded: "I'm all done."

Xiao Mo continued to introduce: "Although we are rich in Nanyue, the Jin Dynasty of the Great Zhou strictly controls iron ore, which leads to a limited output of our weapons. Moreover, our products are mainly silk, tea, porcelain, bamboo products and other things. In addition, our soldiers are all southerners, and they are too dependent on climate when fighting, and they are very passive when it comes to cold weather."

Shi Luo was stunned: "Why do I think southerners are resistant to freezing?"

When I read the news in my previous life, people in the south basically rely on shaking their cold. Anyway, they went to Nanyue. Although it was green outside in winter, she still couldn't stand it and wanted to put a brazier for it. She liked the feeling of eating popsicles while setting the brazier and eating hot popsicles.

Xiao Mo looked at her and said, "Most of our soldiers have never seen snow before, and their military uniforms are not thick. If we want to go further, we still need to make countless winter clothes. In this way, even if we are careful, Dazhou will still find out."

Shi Luo nodded.

Xiao Mo said again: "There is another point that the general stationed in the north is Shufei's biological brother."

Shi Luo understood.

She was silent for a while. This was the first time that someone had analyzed these things to her in such a systematic manner. She felt that the fog in front of her was pushed away, and her vision suddenly became clear.

She looked up at Xiao Mo and said solemnly: "Fifth Brother, thank you for telling me this."

Xiao Mo sneered: "I told you all this because I don't want you to have done the transaction conditions between Nanyue and Wei Congxi with self-righteousness, and I'm still stupid and don't know the situation."

Shi Luo was stunned and then said, "People are maintained by interests when they are together. Even if they are pure friendship, it is because another person can make themselves physically and mentally happy. Therefore, I don't think there is anything wrong with being used."

Xiao Mo looked at her deeply and said, "You can see thoroughly."

After saying that, he said, "Go on the carriage, I'll take you to the Chamber of Commerce to have a look."

Shi Luo was really tired of walking, so he got on the carriage.

The carriage stopped shortly after leaving.

Shi Luo lifted the curtain of the car, Ruhua and Ruyue were waiting for her below.

Shi Luo slowly went down, Xiao Mo pointed to one of the magnificent buildings and said, "Here."

Shi Luo looked at it and found that the building had three floors, which was very grand. It was very quiet. It was surrounded by wealthy merchants. It was very convenient to walk forward for a quarter of an hour to get the pier.

There are four big words written on the plaque at the door: "Nanyue Guild Hall."

Shi Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go." Xiao Mo said.

Shi Luo followed him into the guild hall. The people here probably knew Xiao Mo, and as soon as he came in, future generations greeted him.

Shi Luo found that there were many tables placed on the ground floor here, providing free refreshments for the suppliers to rest.

The second floor is divided into two sides. There is a hall on the left and there are many chairs. It should be the place for meetings. There are many display cabinets on the right to display goods and other things.

Shi Luo followed Xiao Mo straight to the third floor, which had many rooms, private reception rooms, lounges and president's office.

Shi Luo was surprised. This was almost the same as a modern office building.

She glanced at Xiao Mo: "Is this also made by the ancestor's favorite concubine?"

Xiao Mo nodded: "Yes."

The two went straight to the president's office. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a man standing against the window, probably looking at the scenery below.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the man suddenly turned around. Shi Luo couldn't help but be stunned when he saw him: "Why are you?"

Bai Xiuyuan pointed to the chair next to him: "Please sit."

When Shi Luo sat down, someone brought tea and desserts. The tea was the best Biluochun, and the desserts were also very exquisite and looked very delicious.

Shi Luo was also thirsty, so he took a sip of tea before looking at Bai Xiuyuan: "So you are the president of the Nanyue Chamber of Commerce."

In fact, it is reasonable that the Bai family is the Bang clan of Nanyue and is also the nail buried in the Great Zhou of Nanyue. The Bai family’s business is very large, so it is not surprising that Bai Xiuyuan is the president of the Nanyue Chamber of Commerce.

Xiao Mo sat casually, and he and Bai Xiuyuan looked very familiar.

Shi Luo remembered what happened in Yuanshan Town, and he turned his head to look at Xiao Mo.
