In the following days, good news came one after another. The first ten generals summoned had all broken through to the Grandmaster level.
Yao Yue, Lian Xing, Wei Qing, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others also broke through. Among the rest, only Cao Zhengchun broke through quietly. Chen Qingzhi and Yuan Conghuan were also preparing for a breakthrough.
As for the others, there was no sign of a breakthrough for the time being.
Long Tian could understand that their main ability was not combat power, and it would take a long time to break through.
Under the guidance of Yao Yue and Lian Xing, Long Tian has also made great progress these days and gradually controlled his internal strength.
If you want to completely master the power of the Grandmaster, you have a long way to go. After all, it is a cultivation level that comes from initiation, not from practicing a little bit by yourself.
On this day, Long Tian was learning swordsmanship when Fan Li came to him.
"Your Highness, the owner of the Qian Duoduo family of Juyuan Chamber of Commerce, Miss Qian Mingxue, has come to Zhenbei City and wants to meet you."
Fan Li has been busy with this matter recently. Long Tian did not expect that the future daughter-in-law and father-in-law would come to the door in person.
"Oh, please come to the main hall."
Since they are here, they have to meet after all.
Soon, Long Tian and his party came to the main hall and met Qian Duoduo and Qian Mingxue.
Qian Duoduo, with neat hair, simple and generous clothes, and dignified manners, gives people a sense of shrewdness and ability.
Qian Mingxue, with simple and neat clothes, gives people a sense of capable and strong woman.
This is the initial impression of the two people on Long Tian.
"I have seen the prince."
"I pay my respects to the prince."
No matter how glorious the Qian family is, they are still ordinary people. Even if they look down on Long Tian, there is still an essential difference between their identities.
"Master Qian, please stand up quickly. I have an engagement with Miss Mingxue. You are my elder, so you don't need to perform formalities in the future."
Long Tian hurriedly pulled the two of them up. In ancient times, people attached great importance to seniority. Although they were of different status, Long Tian didn't have so many thoughts.
"Master Qian has come from afar and it's very hard. I should treat you well."
Long Tian expressed politely, without any overbearing intention.
Putting aside the engagement, Long Tian is not a person who uses his status to pressure others.
Qian Duoduo looked at Long Tian. Qian Duoduo had done enough investigation on this Northern King. Now it seems that many rumors are not credible. At least the first impression he gave him was still very good.
"Your Majesty, we, the Juyuan Chamber of Commerce, are willing to cooperate with Lord Fan Li, but we also have some difficulties. I hope Your Majesty will understand."
The purpose of Qian Duoduo's trip was naturally business, so he didn't drag it out and went straight to the point.
"Just say it."
Long Tian knew that Qian Duoduo was going to put forward conditions.
"Your Highness also knows that the current situation in Xia Country is likely to lead to a war soon, and no one can change this. As a chamber of commerce, once there is a war, we will probably become the target of all parties. It is not a good thing for us to expand our business at this time."
"What does Your Highness think of the future of Xia Country? What plans does Your Highness have in the upcoming civil strife?"
Qian Duoduo was not shy about expressing his concerns directly, and at the same time was testing Long Tian's ambition.
Troubled times bring forth heroes, and they are also the stage for heroes. All parties are bound to compete, so what does Long Tian want?
"Master Qian, the most important things in troubled times are territory and troops. I have them, but if I want to protect my own interests, I can't do without money. This is why I want to cooperate with Master Qian."
"No one can predict what will happen in the future, and I don't know what will happen, but the least I have to do is to protect myself."
"No matter how chaotic the world is, my northern border will be a pure land. If anyone wants to destroy the peace of the northern border, I will make him restless."
Long Tian didn't shy away from anything. He protected himself first and then planned for other things.
"Master Qian, I know your future situation. Whether it's Juyuan Chamber of Commerce or other chambers of commerce, if you trust me, you can come to my northern border to survive. The Northern King has only one requirement for any chamber of commerce and family, to abide by the laws of the northern border."
"In addition, I will not interfere with the development of anyone. If there is a day of cooperation, my principle is fairness, justice, mutual benefit, this is my principle and the principle of the northern border."
Long Tian expressed his position.
You people may be oppressed and exploited in other places, but not in the North. Even if you are needed to contribute, it is mutual cooperation. The North will not rob them by trickery, let alone deprive them of the basis for survival.
Qian Duoduo nodded. It was good to be able to do this in troubled times. For merchants like them who have no strong backing, it is a blessing to meet such a prince.
Moreover, Long Tian and his Qian family have aFamily ties are there.
"I wonder how the prince wants to cooperate and how the benefits are distributed?"
Qian Duoduo asked the most concerned question.
Businessmen pursue profits, and Long Tian understands it very well.
"You only need to communicate with Fan Li about these. This king will not interfere. Regardless of whether this matter can succeed, this king will not vent his anger on the Qian family, and it will not affect our relationship."
"Fan Li is proficient in business and understands the path of win-win cooperation. The final result of your negotiations depends on your own ability. This king does not understand business, so he will not participate."
Long Tian did not want to use his power to pressure others, nor did he want to worry about this matter, so he directly handed it over to Fan Li to handle it.
The reason for meeting them is to express his principles, and the rest depends on your own ability.
The two sides had a good conversation and there was no conflict of fundamental interests.
"In this case, we will not disturb you. I will let Mingxue handle this matter."
This is the goodwill and sincerity expressed by the Qian family.
"Miss Mingxue is visiting the northern border for the first time, so I should do my best to be a good host. Let the head of the Qian family decide on this matter."
The Qian family sent Qian Mingxue, which meant that they had to make corresponding compromises, which Long Tian did not want to see, and there was no need for that. Once the cooperation between the two sides was reached, it would bring huge benefits, and Long Tian did not care about some small profits.
"Well, then, okay."
Long Tian had already shown enough sincerity, so what else could the Qian family say.
"Long Tian, when will the engagement between you and me be fulfilled?"
At this moment, Qian Mingxue suddenly asked.
Qian Mingxue called Long Tian directly, which scared Qian Duoduo. Although Qian Duoduo did not like Long Tian before, this was on someone else's territory. It was not in accordance with the rules for Qian Mingxue, a commoner, to ask such a question to a prince.
At least it should not be done openly.
"Miss Mingxue also knows that my father has just passed away, and the chaotic world is approaching. I have no time to care about family affairs, so I'm afraid I have to wait for a while for the engagement."
Long Tian didn't think about anything else, but felt that there were too many things to do next, and the world was not settled, so he didn't have the energy to think about marriage.
