In the preparations for the opening of Qiyilou, the most difficult part was not the magical elixirs and weapons for sale. For the people of this land, the medicines and weapons refined by Zhang Liang were of astonishing value, enough to attract anyone.
However, if you want to make this business long-term and large-scale, it is not enough to just have the goods in hand. The business methods involved are far more complicated than you can imagine.
A few days later, as soon as Zhang Liang came out of the mountain, a total of 36 invitations were quickly delivered from the Taoist temple to every corner of the seven countries. These invitations were carefully prepared by Zhang Liang according to the strength rankings of the major forces in the world, covering all important forces except the imperial courts of various countries.
At this moment, in Zi Lan Xuan, Han Fei, Wei Zhuang and Zi Nu were examining an exquisite invitation letter made of pure gold, and the expressions on their faces were quite subtle.
"This man's moves are always so shocking!" Han Fei exclaimed as he looked at the invitation letter in his hand.
At present, mentioning Zhang Liang has become a taboo topic in the Han court. After all, in the last palace incident, thousands of Han people died in the poisonous fog released by Zhang Liang, including the King of Han and the fourth son Han Yu. Although the official announcement stated that Han Yu was executed for treason, in fact everyone knew that Zhang Liang was the mastermind behind it.
As the situation in Han State gradually stabilized, many people had secretly proposed to deal with Zhang Liang, but no one dared to say it openly, because the officials who had tried to deal with Zhang Liang before had already been eliminated one by one by Zhang Liang's assassins.
Now that the Han Dynasty is relatively stable, the number of troops in Xinzheng City has more than doubled. Many people believe that no matter how strong the martial arts are, it is difficult to resist the army. Han Fei himself had similar thoughts, but he knew that the risks involved were huge, not only involving the influence of the Zhang family in the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, but more importantly, the huge pressure brought by Zhang Liang himself.
If Han Fei was not absolutely sure of defeating Zhang Liang, he would not easily anger the other party. Therefore, most of the voices in Han calling for dealing with Zhang Liang have been suppressed by Han Fei.
Zi Nu took the invitation and sighed softly, "This is really finely crafted, carved in gold and inlaid with jade. Just based on the material and craftsmanship, the value of this invitation is no less than a thousand gold. It is said that there are only thirty-six such invitations in total, and the value of this batch of invitations alone is as high as tens of thousands of gold..."
“If the twelve elixirs and seven magic weapons described in the invitation are really that magical, then that would be a real gamble and would definitely attract the attention of the whole world!” Wei Zhuang snorted coldly.
Han Fei fell into deep thought. Indeed, with this invitation letter, it was inevitable that he would attract the attention of the whole world. However, at this moment, he was more concerned about how to deal with the possible turmoil in Xinzheng City.
"Xinzheng City has finally returned to peace, but I'm afraid it will become lively again this time. By then, all the schools of thought and nobles will gather here, and the situation will be extremely complicated." Han Fei sighed.
"This invitation should have just been sent from the mountain. We are the first group of people to receive the invitation, and he has reserved enough time for us to prepare. The gathering of various schools of thought and dignitaries from various countries in Xinzheng is both an opportunity and a challenge." Wei Zhuang responded in a cold tone.
"Indeed, it is both an opportunity and a crisis. Three days ago, Lu Buwei left Xianyang and headed for Shu."
"Now that Qin's internal conflicts have been almost completely resolved, we don't have much time left. Han has been in turmoil for some time, people everywhere are in panic, and the country's strength has seriously declined. Qin may launch an attack on Han at any time."
"This time Zhang Liang caused such a big commotion that all the philosophers and dignitaries from various countries gathered in Xinzheng. We want to take this opportunity to unite the countries to fight against Qin. However, Qin will definitely create chaos in Xinzheng, try its best to weaken Han's power, and provoke relations between Han and other countries."
"It is even possible that Qin will take advantage of our tension and chaos in Xinzheng City to attack Han," Han Fei said worriedly.
Wei Zhuang was silent. This was indeed a possibility.
Once Xinzheng City gathers various schools of thought and dignitaries from various countries, it will easily cause a series of disturbances. At that time, officials and troops at all levels in Xinzheng City will pay close attention to the dynamics in the city and will have no time to take care of other affairs.
Now, the new king of Han State has just ascended the throne. After suppressing Bai Yifei's "rebellion", the whole country is in the most turbulent state. Once Qin State sends troops to attack, Han State will be in danger!
At this moment, Han Fei clenched his fists, his heart full of resentment towards Zhang Liang. Logically speaking, the Zhang family had been prime ministers of the Han Kingdom for generations, so Zhang Liang should have some friendship with the Han Kingdom, right? However, Zhang Liang acted without scruples, bringing deep unrest to the Han Kingdom time and time again.
Killing Ji Wuye would have been fine, but the battle in the palace had killed thousands of soldiers, including the King of Han. Now that the war had just ended in Han, Zhang Liang had done something like this again, forcing Han Fei to not be able to breathe for a moment.
“The greatest dangers often come with the greatest opportunities.”
"Now that Zhang Liang has sent out the invitations, he will definitely not change his mind about opening Qiyilou. Even if he doesn't want to open Qiyilou now, once the invitations are sent out, those who are supposed to come will still come."
"You now have two choices: one is to make full preparations and take this opportunity to contact various forces to achieve alliances and win enough allies for the Han Kingdom; the other is to kill Zhang Liang now!"
"You decide for yourself." Wei Zhuang said coldly.
