The thirty-six countries in the Western Regions sounded very powerful, but in fact, a big country in the Western Regions was only as big as a city in the Great Zhou. Some small countries had less territory than a county in the Great Zhou.

There are not many soldiers in the country, at least thousands, and at most more than ten thousand.

The emperor's will to General Lu was to ask him to bring a thousand elite troops to the Western Regions. Not many, but there were quite a few.

Yue Ning'an's business has not yet penetrated into the Western Regions, but he is still familiar with the situation in the Western Regions. He knows that with these thousand soldiers, even if he cannot calm down the political chaos in the Western Regions and protect their group, there is no problem in the Western Regions. However...

Lu Zangfeng is not a human being at all!

He only brought a hundred troops into the Western Regions.

Yue Ning'an endured for a long time, but still couldn't help it: "Are you serious? Although the countries in the Western Regions are small, one country has at least tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. More than a dozen countries have political chaos one after another. How come the total number of soldiers and horses is 200,000? Do you fight with 200,000 soldiers and horses?"

Even if these hundred people were trained by Lu Zangfeng and were elite soldiers who won the battle against the Northern Liao Warriors, Yue Ning'an would like to say, Lu Zangfeng is too powerful!

One hundred pairs of nearly 200,000 people are no longer as simple as fighting a hundred.

"More than one hundred, two hundred people will arrive later." General Lu seriously corrected Yue Ning'an's mistake: "Don't worry, with this general here, no one can hurt you."

"Have you ever thought about quelling the political chaos in the Western Regions?" Yue Ning'an couldn't help asking when he thought of Lu Zangfeng's words.

"The only one who asked for help from the Great Zhou Dynasty was Puli Kingdom." General Lu's voice was cold, and he did not hide the coldness in his bones: "Ning'an, you are a businessman, you know better than this general. There is no free lunch in this world."

The emperor asked him to bring a thousand troops into the Western Regions, and asked him to investigate the truth about the political chaos in the Western Regions, rather than asking him to be the savior, helping the countries in the Western Regions to quell the chaos for free, and for a fee...

Those small countries may not be willing to let them intervene.

Yue Ning'an was stunned for a moment and reacted: "It's me... I'm thinking about it."

She always thought that a stable and peaceful Western Region would be more conducive to their business, but she forgot that a chaotic Western Region would be more in line with political needs.

"Don't worry, with Chenzhou and others, just one hundred people, it's enough for you to open up the trade routes in the Western Regions." The first group of people who entered the Western Regions with General Lu were Chenzhou and others who were the first to come back from Qingzhou and brought grain to the country.

And the reason why the rest of the people was one step later was because of the batch of food and grass.

General Lu and Yue Ning'an handed over half of the grains obtained from Qingzhou to the court and half to the border.

General Lu wanted to try whether the high-yield and low-demand grains could be planted at the border.

If you can survive, then...

Whether it is the people on the border or the soldiers garrisoned, there is no need to worry about starving to death.

"You don't plan to go to the Western Regions as an official?" Lu Zangfeng completely ignored the political chaos in the Western Regions, but he could understand it even if he thought about it.

Those small countries did not ask for help from the Great Zhou. As generals of the Great Zhou, Lu Zangfeng was not easy to interfere in other countries' internal affairs, and there was no need to intervene, so as not to end up in the end, but he was still not pleased.

After all, no one in a country can tolerate officials from other countries interfering in their own country's affairs.

Compared to the outsider Lu Zangfeng, an outsider, the small countries in the Western Regions would rather have civil strife.

In the civil strife, the meat was rotten in the pot, and I asked for help from the Great Zhou. What if the Great Zhou came and didn’t leave?

If Abu hadn't been familiar with them, Abu wouldn't have asked for help like the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"The Silk Road of the previous dynasty is famous. It is not easy to travel to the Western Regions, so it is hard to go empty-handed." General Lu pointed at Chenzhou and his group and sighed: "Look at them... they are all not young anymore, and they are still bachelors. Lu San's incident reminded me that I can't delay them anymore. No matter how difficult it is, I have to find a way to save some family fortune for them to marry a wife."

"So?" Only Lu Zangfeng said so clearly and unrealistic.

This shame is really enough!

General Lu asked quietly: "You really don't choose such a good collaborator?"

If you have money but don’t make money, you are a bastard!

Yue Ning'an immediately cheered up: "Let's talk about dividends first!"

She didn't want to do a job for Lu Zangfeng. This man pretended to be pitiful. What else could he not do?

"Three Seven! You Three and I Seven." General Lu, who is not good at commercial negotiations, is very clear about his advantages: "Apart from goods, everything else is left to us!"

"I'll hire an escort agency, and it's only 10% of the profits that will be the best." Lu Zangfeng opened his mouth and had to take 70% of the profits that he won't go to heaven.

General Lu said confidently: "My people are more useful than stadiumers, and they will not be released at all. They can ensure that your goods are delivered to the Western Regions intact."

Yue Ning'an did not give in: "My Yue family has an escort agency, and I have to support them anyway."

"If you don't have my people to open the way, you can't reach the Western Regions, nor can you surrender to the people in the Western Regions." It's not that easy to do business in a strange place.

Not only do you need a brain, but also a fist.

Yue Ning'an has a business mind, and his fists are strong enough, so their cooperation is the best.

"It's not 37, either." Yue Ning'an thought carefully for a moment and said, "Now the wars in the Western Regions are in chaos, and the most valuable things are not silk or porcelain, but weapons. Do you have any weapons that you don't use to eliminate?"

"Selling weapons is a violation of the law!" Yue Ning'an's courage was not ordinary.

"The General misunderstood. I never do anything that violates the law. Let's put it another way, General, do you want to have a bad iron in your army? Let's support a friendly country, what do you think?" Without other countries' requests, they were not good at interfering in other countries' internal affairs, but they could sell some weapons and support the forces they are optimistic about.

"I want to interfere in the internal affairs of those small countries in the Western Regions?" General Lu knew what Yue Ning'an wanted to do.

She wanted to use weapons to open up the road in the Western Regions, make friends with the powerful and wealthy people in the Western Regions, and even take advantage of the civil strife in small countries in the Western Regions to invest in potential people in advance to help those who are close to her to the throne.

Yue Ning'an's ambition is too great!

"It is easy to add fire on the cake, but it is difficult to provide timely help. At this time, take action and wait until the return will be great." What a great opportunity, if you miss it, there will never be a second time.

General Lu suddenly lowered his face and said seriously: "You are so sure that the person you like... will be the winner in the end? The situation of those small countries in the Western Regions is much more complicated than that of the Jin Kingdom. You don't know anything, and you are so sure that the person you like can get on the throne? What if you lose? Do you think about the consequences?"

He knew that Yue Ning'an was eager to make money for the ten-year bet. But he didn't want Yue Ning'an to be involved in the internal affairs of the court again and again, even from other countries.
