I embezzled 100,000 taels at the beginning, and the empress begged me to be more greedy

After a few days of recovery, Jiang Zuo has regained his former spirit. Although his wounds are not yet healed, he is able to go out and handle some affairs.

After staying in the room for so many days, Jiang Zuo felt like he was going to get moldy.

Today is a clear and sunny autumn day, perfect for going out.

I knocked on Chen Qingyun's door, but he was still not there.

In fact, Jiang Zuo was also quite confused. Chen Qingyun was often not at home. Where did he go?

As the eldest daughter from Guanzhong, she has been in Anding County for some time and it is unknown when she will leave this time.

While he was thinking about that, the door of the mansion was pushed open.

"Sir, Di Zhen is here."

Yang Feng came to inform.

"Okay, I'm going out too."

Jiang Zuo got on the carriage and prepared to meet Di Zhen in front of the city wall.

This time, Di Zhen came to Anding County, still bringing thousands of captives with him, to exchange money and supplies with Jiangzuo.

Since cooperating with Jiang Zuo, the Haixi region led by Di Zhen has become increasingly prosperous. The supplies in their hands are not only enough to survive this winter, but they even have the strength to annex other tribes and expand the power of his Haixi region.

"These are all captives of the Geer tribe. Each one costs ten taels. Please count them."

Di Zhen said this as soon as they met, without any ambiguity with Jiang Zuo.

Jiang Zuo took a quick look and saw that there were at least two thousand captives, including many elderly, weak, women and children.

"so much?"

Di Zhen's efficiency was far beyond Jiang Zuo's imagination.

Such a large number of captives had to be properly accommodated and naturally could not be placed in Anding County.

Anyway, there is a shortage of people at the port recently, so just place these prisoners outside first.

"Are these really all members of the Geer tribe?"

Jiang Zuo expressed his doubts, fearing that Di Zhen was just filling in the numbers and bullying a small tribe to defraud more silver.

Di Zhen patted his chest and assured: "It's absolutely true. Are you still afraid that I will lie to you?"

Jiang Zuo smiled calmly and said, "Then let's settle the money."

"Also, didn't you say last time that you could sell that hidden weapon? Take me to have a look now."

Di Zhen said, obviously very interested in the gun.

Jiang Zuo would definitely not sell these weapons. He was just fooling him last time.

"No hurry, I have something I want to discuss with you."

Jiang Zuo whispered, his face looking mysterious.

"Oh? What?"

Di Zhen was puzzled.

Jiang Zuo got straight to the point and asked, "Do you want to be the Great Khan?"

Hearing this, Di Zhen was stunned.

"The Great Khan?"

This Great Khan is Yigena’s current identity, but he is recognized as the greatest Khan in Mobei.

Di Zhen naturally dreams of having this identity.

"Whether you want to be one or not, what does it have to do with you?"

Di Zhen was puzzled and at the same time he was suspicious: "What is the purpose of this Jiang Zuo?"

He cooperated with Jiang Zuo purely for his own benefit.

Jiang Zuo said: "If you want, I can help you."

"You help me?" There was a hint of surprise on Di Zhen's rough face.

Jiang Zuo slowly came to Di Zhen and said, "When I first saw you, I felt that you were extraordinary and a rare genius. I wonder if you have any ambitions to unify the entire Mobei grassland?"

"Unify Mobei..."

Di Zhen frowned.

This is easier said than done.

You must know that in the past thousands of years, no tribe has ever been able to unify this vast Mobei grassland.

Although the Haixi region ruled by Di Zhen was quite powerful and could rank among the top five among the tribes in Mobei, it was definitely not that easy to unify the grassland.

"Even if I want to, unifying the grassland is not an easy task. It's just talk."

Di Zhen disagreed, thinking that he had the desire but not the courage.

"If you want, I can definitely help you."

Jiang Zuo raised the corner of his mouth, and he seemed to have a plan in his mind.

"How to help?"

Di Zhen seemed to be somewhat moved.

Jiang Zuo said: "All the materials your tribe needs, our Anding County can provide you with, including armor and weapons, and all you need to do is to seize the territory of the Geer tribe and annex other tribes. When you unify Mobei, it would be best if you can live in peace with our Yan State and not invade each other. How do you do it?"

Di Zhen had already offended Igana, so even without Jiang Zuo's advice, he would deal with the Geer tribe.

"Do you trust Ben Khan so much?"

Di Zhen looked straight into Jiang Zuo's eyes.

"Di Zhen, you are the only person I trust the most."

Jiang Zuo said seriously.

"Oh, really?"

The expression on Di Zhen's face seemed to be doubtful.

"I have one request, that is, before you destroy the other tribes, don't touch Suolu, because he is one of our partners in Anding County. I hope you can understand."

Jiang Zuo said.

When Suolu was mentioned, Di Zhen's face suddenly twisted and he shook his head, saying, "Suolu is such a bastard, I will definitely kill him, don't stop me."

"You can kill them, but not now. How about we wait until the winter is over? Otherwise, it will be difficult for us in Anding County to do business with you again."

Jiang Zuo advised again.

Di Zhen pondered for a while, then reluctantly said: "Let's talk about it after this winter. This Khan will definitely settle accounts with Suolu!"

Jiang Zuo nodded and said, "Very good, you will have another battle next year. Your goal now is to deal with Igna."

The biggest threat to Jiangzuo now is Igna, the leader of the largest tribe in Mobei.

Di Zhen said: "You don't need to remind me."

At this time, Yang Feng came to Jiang Zuo and whispered in his ear: "Sir, Solu is here too..."

"So fast."

Jiang Zuo raised his head, glanced at Di Zhen who was still in deep thought, and quickly whispered, "Take Suo Lu to the government office first, I'll be there soon."

Yang Feng nodded and left.

"What are you talking about secretly?"

Di Zhen questioned.

Deep down, he seemed to still be on guard against the Yan people.

"Nothing, there was a problem with the Anding County armory today, so I dare not take you in for a tour. If you need to buy supplies, feel free to bring someone with you."

"That's fine."

Di Zhen waved his hand, then turned around and left Anding County with the supplies and money.

Jiang Zuo rushed to the yamen and met Suo Lu.

Suolu was quite polite to Jiang Zuo and only asked, "Is there something urgent that you want me to come here?"

"It is indeed an urgent matter." Jiang Zuo sat down and said, "The trading port was attacked not long ago. Have you heard about it?"

Suo Lu nodded calmly and said, "I heard about it, but this has absolutely nothing to do with this Khan."

He had also heard that it was the Geer tribe that launched a surprise attack on the Yan army.

"Of course I know, but how can we continue our business if you other Mobei people do this?"

Jiang Zuodao looked at Suolu.

Solu remained silent.

At this time, Yang Feng brought two cups of tea to the two of them.

Suolu pondered for a moment before saying, "Let me go and persuade the Great Khan. Maybe we can still negotiate."

Jiang Zuo knocked on the table, picked up the teacup, and asked calmly: "Do you want to be the Great Khan?"
