At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

If it were any other time in the past, Xu Wan'er would never have made such a suggestion.

But now they are in the territory of the Dune Kingdom, and they only have more than a hundred people in the city of Juan.

If a fight breaks out with the Shevli family, there is no guarantee that unexpected situations will not occur.

"Marshal, what Lady Wan'er said makes sense. We should leave as soon as possible."

At this time, Xiang Wentian also spoke, echoing Xu Wan'er.

The reason why he said this was entirely out of concern for Xia Yun's safety.

"There are nearly 80,000 defenders in Juan City. With our current strength, even if some of them are equipped with automatic weapons, I'm afraid it will be difficult to contend with them."

Tuoba Jinghui then spoke again.

The intelligence information sent back by the spies described the general situation of the defenders in Juan City.

There were 80,000 defenders. Even if we just stood there and let them kill us, it would still take several days and nights.

However, facing the panicked looks of the crowd, Xia Yun's face suddenly revealed a calm look.

"Not in a hurry."

Xia Yun smiled and waved.

He is not a fool, so he would not do something as stupid as trying to hit a stone with an egg.

"From Juan City to the west, there is no human habitation for 800 to 900 kilometers. The caravan needs to rest in Juan City for at least two days to ensure that they can arrive at St. Anthony City smoothly."

"As for the Shevlie family, we have the token purchased by the imperial court, so they will not easily make extraordinary moves in the future."

Xia Yun spoke up immediately afterwards.

The most fundamental reason for resting in Juan City for a while is that the road from Juan City to San Antonio City is a vast snowfield.

This means that once they set out from Juan City and head towards San Antonio City, there will be no more stations in between for them to resupply.

When the people present heard Xia Yun's explanation, their faces, which had originally been a little panicked, regained their calm and composed expressions.

"What the Marshal said makes sense, but are we still going to sell those thirty truckloads of goods?"

Tuoba Jinghui asked after pondering for a moment.

"Of course we have to sell it. We can't possibly go to St. Anthony with more than 60 fully loaded carriages. If we do that, our burden will be huge and it will be difficult to respond immediately."

Xia Yun smiled happily.

In fact, at this moment, he already had a perfect plan in his mind.

A plan that would allow them to sell the thirty truckloads of goods smoothly without getting into a fight with the Shevley family!

……

Midnight to early morning.

When the more than one hundred people under Xia Yun's command had all eaten and drunk their fill, they all fell asleep and rested.

Xia Yun once again found Victor, the owner of the Vienna Hotel.

But this time, as soon as the two met, Xia Yun directly put a purse in front of Victor.

"Boss Xia, this is...?"

Victor was obviously used to big scenes. When he saw Xia Yun handing over the bag of money, an expression of surprise and joy suddenly appeared on his face.

"This bag contains a hundred gold coins. It's for you, Victor."

Xia Yun laughed and told the exact amount in the purse.

One hundred gold coins are equivalent to ten thousand silver dollars, which is equivalent to ten thousand taels of silver in the currency of the Daliang Dynasty.

Victor immediately took the purse, opened it and saw that it was indeed full of golden coins.

"I heard that people in the Central Plains have a saying that goes, 'No reward without merit.' May I ask, Boss Xia, is there anything I can help you with?"

Victor then showed a shrewd look.

In fact, the principle of no reward without merit is not only applicable to the Daliang Dynasty.

This is true anywhere in the world.

"Mr. Victor is a straightforward man, so I'll just say it straight. I hope you can sell those thirty truckloads of goods for me. After the deal is done, I'll give you a generous reward."

Xia Yun still went straight to the point and stated his purpose again.

Victor, who held the purse in his hand, did not show the same embarrassment as before.

"Boss Xia wants me to sell this batch of goods to the Shevli family, is that right?"

Although he had guessed what the other person was thinking, Victor still asked just to be on the safe side.

"Yes, you can sell this batch of goods to anyone, including the Shevley family, but this is none of my business."

Xia Yun smiled and nodded.

A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Although he has the token from the Imperial Court Lottery Office, it is his first time in Juan City after all.

In order to sell thirty trucks of goods in the shortest time possible, Victor's help is essential.

However, just when Xia Yun thought Victor would agree, Victor suddenly stretched out a finger.

And during the following familiarization time, Victor remained silent, his eyes meeting Xia Yun's.

Seeing this, Xia Yun hesitated for a moment, but still reacted quickly.

"No problem. After the deal is done, 10% of the profit will be yours."

As a businessman, Xia Yun understood what Victor meant. The other party wanted to get a 10% profit from the transaction.

I have to say that Victor is quite smart and was not dazzled by a mere bag of gold coins.

But this is normal. As the party that owns the channel, the profit-sharing conditions proposed by Victor are quite reasonable.

Selling thirty trucks of goods at one time was no small matter. Although he was confident that he could do it, the time the entire caravan would stay in Juan City would inevitably exceed the original plan.

"Boss Xia is indeed from the Central Plains. He is so straightforward in doing business! Okay, leave this matter to me. I will definitely sell this batch of goods smoothly within three days."

Victor responded with a laugh.

This is a very reasonable deal for both parties.

"Two days."

Xia Yun suddenly shook his head. He only had two days to give Victor.

"Two days is just two days!"

Victor gritted his teeth, and immediately nodded in agreement with a serious and solemn look!

……

On the first night after entering Juan City, more than a hundred people under Xia Yun's command, after eating and drinking, all fell into a peaceful sleep.

This also includes Xia Yun.

The nearly ten-day long journey brought them not only physical fatigue, but also mental fatigue.

Therefore, everyone slept very soundly.

It was not until noon the next day that everyone woke up from their sleep.

The first thing Xia Yun did after waking up was to ask Tuoba Jinghui and Huyan Juelu to take a dozen barbarian soldiers each and leave the hotel to carry out the procurement mission.
