"Oh, Your Highness, the King of Qin suddenly lifted the cover of the Five Lakes War. No one could control the imperial civil war. Your Highness Xiang is really true. What's the matter? Why bother to attack him at this time? Now, this fence-bearer suddenly threw himself into His Highness King of Qin's camp, causing His Highness King of Qin and His Highness King of Xiang to become influential. The situation in the Five Lakes has become so unpredictable. This year, the food price in the imperial capital will remain high again." The gentry who spoke was concerned about the prices of the imperial capital. The five lakes are the largest material supply base in the imperial capital. Once the food price rises, the prices of everything else will rise sharply. Except for some speculators, no one wants to see this situation.

"You can't say that. Cheng Dayou was originally a remnant of peace. Although he had applied to the empire on the surface, his orders to the empire have always been slanderous. Moreover, Jiujiang was originally a land of five lakes. Since His Highness Xiang King was enfeoffed by the five lakes, he naturally would not watch the Jiujiang area not being promoted. He just didn't expect why His Highness Qin reacted so strongly. I think Cheng Dayou was probably losing sincerity to His Highness Qin, so that he would lead to conflicts between King Xiang King of Qin, which would lead to a conflict between King of Qin and King of Xiang King of Qin.

It exploded all of a sudden." The gentry in the circle also understood that the King of Qin was extremely ambitious. He would reach his hand wherever he had the opportunity. This time he finally got this opportunity, but he was afraid he would not let go so easily. However, no one could say such deep-seated words on such occasions. After all, the Western Front is now in great power, and there are troops stationed in this imperial capital. If there is really one day when His King of Qin ruled the world, wouldn't he cause trouble for himself when saying something unpleasant?

There were more and more people in the hall, and some important guests also began to appear. Tonight was the engagement ceremony of Qin Tiecheng, the second son of the Qin family, and Miao Yao, the third daughter of the Miao family. This was also a marriage between the two major families of the empire. This engagement should have been brewing for a long time, especially the Miao family, who tried hard to promote this marriage. Originally, the Miao family had always hoped that Miao Yao would be engaged to Makhmi, the second son of the Huey family, the Huey family, but the Huey family has always been opposed, which led to the miscarriage of this marriage. The Miao family relied on the Qin family.

As the editor-in-chief of Business Week, Robson will naturally not miss this kind of marriage event between the two major families of the empire. Although this event was affected by the decline of the forces of the Miao and Qin families and the great changes in the Wuhu War, as a huge family that has been proud of the empire for hundreds of years, both the Miao and Qin families still play an important role in the imperial capital.

Qin Tiecheng was one of the four famous princes in the upper class of the imperial capital. Miao Yao was a daughter-in-law who was worshipped by the Miao family. Not only did she have beautiful beauty, but it was even more rare that this woman had a good business talent. After the Miao family had been confiscated by the Interior Department of the Western Xinjiang Protectorate, she not only came up with many good solutions to adjust the industrial structure, but also took the initiative to go to Qingyang to communicate and negotiate with officials of the Interior Department of the Western Xinjiang Protectorate and the Finance Department, hoping to exchange the Miao family's equity in these industries in a more reasonable way. This also received the support of her handkerchief for Zhu Zimei. The ambiguous relationship between Zhu Zimei and His Highness the King of Qin was hyped by some tabloids, which made officials of the Interior Department of the Western Xinjiang and Finance Department afraid and did not dare to flatly reject some of the requests made by the party.

At the same time, the Director of the Finance Department James appreciates the talent of the third lady Miao family. However, this involves the property of all parties that have been confiscated, and James dare not make any statement at will. Otherwise, once aid comes, the Protectorate of the Western Xinjiang will face many legal disputes, especially the Director of the Legal Affairs Department Molen has always been inconsistent with the Finance Department and the Bank he was in charge. The other party found an excuse and would not cause many storms. But even so, Miao Yao's courageous trip to the northwest began to break through the ice between the Miao family and the Western Xinjiang. In the past, the Western Xinjiang side has always refused to negotiate with the Miao family on this issue. At least now the Western Xinjiang side can receive it, and there are signs of loosening of the position. This is an amazing breakthrough.

This grand event was absent from the editor-in-chief of Business Week, although he was not optimistic about this marriage. In fact, more factors were caused by the situation. The trade industry on which the Qin family relied on was greatly squeezed with the continuous expansion of the controlled areas of Western Xinjiang. The Qin family in the western empire had completely lost its market and was constantly squeezed out of the local market by newly emerging local commercial families in Western Xinjiang. This forced the Qin family to focus their main energy on the east to explore new markets. However, the East China Sea and Jiangnan were originally in a strong business atmosphere, and the market was quite saturated.

When the situation affects the decline of industry and commerce, the Qin family's eyes can only lead to outside the empire. It requires a lot of funds to open up markets outside the empire, especially in Duodun and Japanese land, which requires huge investment. Therefore, the Qin family also hopes to have an ally with the same idea to share this risk. At this time, the Miao family, which has been deteriorating, seems to have become an acceptable choice. Although the Miao family has suffered huge losses in the empire, it has accumulated over hundreds of years and has a solid foundation in funds and experience in all aspects. The ability of both sides to get to everything may help each get out of the predicament.

Of course, this is just the idea of ​​both parties. In Robson's eyes, this kind of marriage does not have much significance, because they ignore the most important factor, that is, the influence of political factors. The idea of ​​marriage between the two parties to revitalize their families must be based on the current political structure. As the situation in the Five Lakes gradually becomes clear, the inevitable Jiangnan and East China Sea will be affected, and even Yanyun is the same. As for the imperial capital, it is even the center of the storm. When the power of Western Xinjiang gradually spreads to the entire empire, will it still tolerate these families that have maintained close contact with Situ Tai and those conservative nobles who have always been opposed to Western Xinjiang? If the power of a family does not even have this political sensitivity, then this family is really dangerous. This is the assertion made by Robson to the Miao and Qin families. Although it is a bit alarmist, it has been sincerely agreed by the old man next to Robson.

"It seems that the Qin and Miao families want to downplay the political significance of this marriage, but some people don't seem to want to do so. Well, that's not here?" The old man standing next to Robson raised his jaw and his eyes fell to the entrance of the hall. The noble ladies at the door fluctuated, as if a distinguished guest came. Robson's eyes turned, "Hmph, I was just deceiving myself. Now every move in the imperial capital will attract countless attention. You blindly want people to believe that you are just marrying for economic interests, but will those who are interested think so? At this time, even if you want to get off the boat, I'm afraid that they won't let you live."

If Robson's words fell into the ears of outsiders, they would definitely not be able to understand the meaning of it, but the old man in an indigo robe nodded knowingly: "Hehe, Princess Thirteen is trying to put the Miao family and the Qin family on fire. She attended the engagement so high-profilely, and she also came with His Highness the Special Envoy of the King of Yan. Isn't this safe to tie these two families into chariots?"

"Well, it's really interesting. Look at the faces of the Miao people, their faces have changed. Maybe they have not invited these two uninvited Thirteenth Princesses and His Highness Yan. Well, why haven't the heads of the two parties appeared yet? What's going on?" Robson looked at the back hall with confusion with the curtains behind the hall.

"Father, I suggest you cancel this marriage immediately, otherwise my harvest will be meaningless on my trip to the northwest. Xijiang will definitely think that we are provoking at this time. What is the relationship between the Qin family and His Highness King Yan? They are already tied to a chariot and cannot get off. Why do we have to go to this muddy water? Look, the Thirteenth Princess and His Highness King Yan's special envoy are here. What's the good thing about Xijiang? What, is our Miao family also intending to fully support His Highness King Yan?" Cold Li's words were a bit choking, and the few people sitting beside him frowned. The person speaking was a pretty and delicate girl, which was the Miao family's hope for Miao Yao.

"A Yao, didn't it be a good thing to marry the Qin family for a long time? Isn't it a bit bad to regret at this time, right?" An old man sitting on his side said hesitantly.

"Hmph, it's better than the family's defeat in the future! The Qin family now wants to separate from the King of Yan, but can they be separated? Our Miao family must not get involved. We can do business with the Qin family, but we must never be connected. At the beginning, marriage was just a temporary measure when the situation was not yet clear. Now we will not be wise to do this again. Moreover, there is hope of reconciliation between our Miao family now, why should we refuse? Look at the old guy Situ Yushuang and Zhuang Lichen, it is obvious that we want to drag our Miao family into the water. Our Miao family cannot be fooled!" Although the girl looks like a weak Liu Xifeng, her words are so tough.

"That's true. We didn't invite the Thirteenth Princess, and Zhuang Lichen had no relationship with us. Is it just to show that we are standing on the same line with them, which may bring many negative effects." Someone immediately began to agree.

"Then A Yao, do you mean to put it aside first?" The old man sitting in the main seat finally spoke, obviously moved by the other party's words.
