103 Secretly
The Liang family of the Great Luo Dynasty had good relations with the Ye family and the Qin family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the news spread quickly.
The three aristocratic families all have considerable history and strength in the Eastern Continent. Naturally, some people are happy and some are worried about establishing diplomatic relations.
It should be noted that maintaining a big family cannot last long just by recruiting younger brothers and asking them to provide supplies. You must have your own industry.
Like the Ye family, there are several large spiritual mines and several small and medium-sized spiritual mines. I won’t mention spiritual stones, a common currency in circulation. The key is to be able to produce the minerals needed for weapon refining. With the raw materials in hand, many families related to the weapon refining industry in the Zhou Dynasty had to look at the Ye family's face.
The Qin family only has a few small and medium-sized mines, and its main industry is not raw materials. The source of income is special silk segments. In the Zhou Dynasty, the Qin family's silk satin accounted for 5% of the market. Although five percent does not seem to be much, the Zhou Dynasty had hundreds of kingdoms and sects, hundreds of millions of monks and mortal wealthy merchants, and it was already extraordinary that five percent of the basic necessities of life were food, clothing, housing, and transportation.
Of course, compared to the Ye family, the Qin family is still inferior, whether it is family wealth or monk strength, which is why the Qin family has always wanted to cling to the Ye family. In other words, as long as the industry does not conflict with the Ye family, they will basically want to cling to the Ye family.
The Liang family was far away in the Da Luo Dynasty, so the raw materials for the family's industry would not be restricted by the Ye family, and the clothing would not be affected by the Qin family's special silk satin. The reason why some people are worried about the establishment of diplomatic relations between the three families is that they are worried that the Liang family will get support from the Ye family and the Qin family to open industries in the Zhou Dynasty.
The market of the Zhou Dynasty was very large, but after tens of thousands of years, it has basically been allocated. If new industries appear, they will take a piece of the pie. As for the part that is divided, it is not from other families’ original Picked up from the industry?
So this night, it was calm on the surface, but in fact, there was a storm secretly, including the Bai family.
The Bai family's main business is weapon refining, and they do not rely on the Ye family for raw materials. If the Liang family gets involved in the industry of the Zhou Dynasty, with the support of the Ye family, they will definitely devote themselves to weapon refining, which will affect the main business of the Bai family.
The decrease in family income may not be noticeable at first, but the disadvantages will become apparent hundreds of years later. Cultivation of immortals is very expensive. As a family of immortal cultivators, the Bai family must not lose its profits if they want to develop stably. Even if none of this happens, who knows if it will in the future? It never goes wrong to take precautions before they happen.
"The Liang family is in good order, why do they suddenly come here to establish diplomatic relations with the Ye family?"
In the Bai family conference room, dozens of well-known dignitaries from different families sat together to discuss.
"Didn't that boy from the Ye family escape from the secret realm of black water full of monsters some time ago? He easily saved the daughter of the Liang family."
"I've heard about this, but normally shouldn't the daughter be married into the Ye family first, have a marriage relationship, and then gradually establish family friendship? Without any warning, the three families suddenly announced their friendship. This is also Isn’t it too weird? Could it be that the Ye family and the Qin family want the Liang family to get involved and develop towards the Daluo Dynasty? "
What is the big family most afraid of? One's own power is weakened, and the opponent's power is strengthened.
The Ye family has many powerful people who can transform gods, and they also hold the raw materials, which makes many families feel disgusted. If they expand their business further and get a piece of the pie from the Da Luo Dynasty, then won’t the Ye family really be able to dominate the Da Luo Dynasty in the future? Already?
There is also the Qin family, whose overall strength is average and the family ranking is average. How come they suddenly become close to the Ye family and the Liang family, which are well-ranked families? It's as if someone shorter than you has suddenly grown taller. Not only can you no longer look down at the other person, but you have to look up at him. Who can bear this?
"If the industry can really involve the Daluo Dynasty, the Qin family will definitely rise. I don't understand how the Qin family got on board as they just sell cloth and have nothing to do with mineral raw materials."
"Maybe it has something to do with the daughter of the Qin family?"
"Qin Shimeng? Didn't you break off your engagement with the Ye family boy long ago?"
"The broken engagement can be renewed. My grandson is a disciple of the Tianluo Sect's Jiange Hall. He said that the two of them became very close after breaking off the engagement."
"It can't be that the three families established diplomatic relations because the young man from the Ye family is close to the daughter of the two families, right?"
There are many benefits and risks to consider when establishing diplomatic relations between families, especially big families. Just like now, the Liang family just announced their friendship with the Ye family and the Qin family, which caused a sense of crisis among many families.
The important members of the various families present were having a heated discussion, and they all studied the motivations for establishing diplomatic relations. For a long time, they could not get any results. Just when everyone was fed up, an old man picked up the sound transmission stone and chatted for a few words. lay down.
"Everyone, I relied on many connections and spent a lot of money to finally find someone to inquire about the news from the Liang family of the Daluo Dynasty. According to a certain young master of the Liang family, the Liang family came to the Dazhou Dynasty this time. The decision was made suddenly. The Liang family also invited the Ye family boy to be a guest at the banquet to establish diplomatic relations. At the time, the Ye family boy thought it was a courtesy and didn't take it seriously. I never thought it would happen now, and many families in the Daluo Dynasty were also shocked. "
"..." After the old man finished speaking, there was silence in the conference room.
Not long after, another old man uttered three words: "Impossible."
"Yes, it's impossible. Without prior negotiation, three families announced their friendship at the same time within one day. Do you think it's reasonable?" Then another voice sounded.
If you are a family friend, then there is nothing wrong with giving your back to the other person. But they are not familiar with each other, and the current way to understand each other is through external rumors. If the Liang family develops steadily in the Zhou Dynasty, they will immediately kick the Ye family and the Qin family away. Or conversely, if the Ye family and the Qin family received support from other families in the Daluo Dynasty, they immediately kicked the Liang family away, which was equivalent to training a partner for a competitor. This kind of thing is too risky, and it will backfire on you if you are not careful. .
There are no permanent friends, only eternal interests. In the face of huge interests, life friends may betray.
"I just told what I heard. Why are you staring at me?" The old man was very depressed.
"Do you think it's possible that the boy from the Ye family has received some incredible inheritance?" A middle-aged man showed a very serious expression: "If you think about it carefully, originally his talent could only be considered to be better than that of his peers, but suddenly He became a monster, built a foundation with seven colors, and cultivated both music and painting. I shouldn’t need to mention what he did after entering Tianluo Sect. Everyone knows it, right? "
That's not the case. Join forces with the upper echelons of Tianluo Sect to trap and kill the Demon Sect. They were tired of hearing about the deeds of suppressing cultivation and not breaking through, entering a century-old secret realm to capture undercover agents of the Demon Sect, etc.
"All of this happened after he broke off his engagement with the daughter of the Qin family. During that time, wasn't it rumored that he had given up his cultivation? Although it was said afterwards that he had learned advanced Qi Kumbhaka, is there a possibility? That means he really abandoned his cultivation and returned to foundation building in just a few months, and even achieved a crystallization breakthrough? "
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone present became extremely serious. Someone should have jumped out immediately to talk about the impossible link, but at this time, no one spoke up and everyone was silent.
