Traveling through ancient times.

Chapter 120 Ventilation

Jiang Yizhou handed the letter from Huo Yuting to Liao Qi.

Liao Qi took the letter hesitantly, and as he read it, his breathing became heavy.

The hand holding the letter was trembling slightly. He looked up at Jiang Yizhou and said, "Master, what should we do next?"

Jiang Yizhou sat on the armchair, leaning back, and said, "Of course it's cooperation."

"Cooperation?" he blurted out.

The Huo family was the direct cause of their family's destruction. Until now, they have not been able to live in the sun, their parents and brothers cannot be reunited, and those who died...

He didn't expect that the head of the family would actually cooperate with such a person.

At this moment, Qi Hao also came.

He has basically recovered now.

He walked in and bowed to Jiang Yizhou, "Master?"

Qi Hao simply greeted Liao Qi, then looked at the two of them puzzledly.

Jiang Yizhou signaled Liao Qi to show the letter to Qi Hao as well.

Qi Hao also asked the same question as Liao Qi: "Does the head of the family really want to cooperate with the Huo family?"

His reaction was even more intense, and he stared at Jiang Yizhou closely, as if he would go crazy and even break up with her if she nodded.

Jiang Yizhou was not surprised by the two's reactions. Although they had now completely submitted to her, they were still not as trusting as Wei Ke, Yunxin, Yucui and others.

Therefore, the real managers of Yunshanzheng’s base camp are still the old team he brought from Jiang’s house.

The reason why she called the two of them here this time was because of the grudge between the Huo family and them. If she wanted to proceed to the next step, she had to consider the feelings of her subordinates.

But at the same time, Jiang Yizhou didn't like the two of them reacting so impulsively because they didn't trust her.

She threw the question out directly and asked, "Why, is there any problem?"

Liao Qi calmed down his emotions and said as calmly as possible: "Master, the Huo family cannot be trusted. They colluded with those people and wiped out our Liao family and Qi family. They may be coming for our Yunshan Farm."

Qi Hao echoed, "That's right. The head of the family must never cooperate with such people. They say one thing to your face and another behind your back. When the time is right, they will get rid of you..."

Jiang Yizhou looked at the two people's anxious expressions, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a slight smile. Then he stood up, picked up the teacup from the table, poured a cup of tea for each of them, and pushed it in front of them, while saying calmly: "Be more confident, remove the three words 'maybe', they are coming for our Yunshan Farm."

Liao Qi and Qi Hao looked at each other, and then looked at the head of the family at the same time.

Seeing the master's knowing expression, they became even more confused: "Since you know he has bad intentions, why do you still want to cooperate with them?"

After Jiang Yizhou poured tea for the two of them, he took another cup and slowly walked to the other wall of the study.

The above is a topographic map of the entire Northwest region that Jiang Yizhou carefully collected and compiled over the years.

She pointed to a large piece of semi-wasteland above Ximin County and said, "Speaking of which, because this area is located on the border, the climate is dry and cold, and the land is barren, so our area is even more sparsely populated..."

Liao Qi frowned slightly, "Does the Patriarch want to cultivate land over there?"

Jiang Yizhou did not comment, but continued, "I have met merchants from there, and they said that the environment there is not as bad as rumored. The reason why a large area of ​​land is abandoned is because there are frequent attacks from foreign tribes. Over time, everyone moved away, and the land became more and more desolate."

Liao Qi was even more puzzled: "Since there is no peace there, even if we grow crops there, wouldn't that be helping those foreigners?"

Jiang Yizhou said: "Of course we can't help those barbarians. I heard that although the court is in a mood of peace talks, the prince is very much in favor of a strong army and a strong country. So, I think these unstable factors on the border will be resolved sooner or later."

Liao Qi was shocked. He didn't expect that while they were still feeling complacent about Yunshan's achievements, the head of the family had already thought so far ahead.

More importantly, she has collected so much valuable information without realizing it.

It's a pity that he is still stuck in the feud with the Huo family...

Jiang Yizhou returned to the topic and said, "If we want to expand our Yunshan Farm to these places, this is the first step for us to reach out."

She pointed her finger on the map, which was where the carbonite mine in Jiang'an County was located.

Qi Hao watched the patriarch's slender fingers circling and dotting on the map, and inexplicably felt a sense of grandeur as if he was pointing out the whole country.

His mood also calmed down with the calm tone and steady demeanor of the head of the family, and a long-lost sense of ambition and passion arose in his heart.

Yes, family revenge must be taken, but he should take a longer-term view.

The Huo family is just a small stepping stone in their business empire.

Since the head of the family has already made a plan, they should follow it and help the head of the family achieve great things.

Although Liao Qi was somewhat tempted by Jiang Yizhou's promise, he was more realistic. He said, "The Huo family and the other families are all powerful. They all have connections in the court, and there is also a very powerful official behind them. They now have a firm grip on the carbonite mine. If we want to get a piece of the pie, it may be difficult."

Jiang Yizhou said: "It is of course not realistic for me to get a share. When they were just starting out, Ning Jianren spent all his family fortune to get only half of the shares, and in the end he was squeezed out by them. I don't have that much money to give them a bargain now."

The two said in unison: "What does the Patriarch mean?..."

Jiang Yizhou: "They want to cooperate with us in the liquor business now. I want to cooperate with them in the carbon stone processing business. It should work."

Qi Hao asked in confusion: "Carbon stone processing? How do you process it? You can just burn it as firewood..."

Liao Qi followed up and said, "Also, is the Huo family willing to cooperate with us in the carbon stone processing business?"

Jiang Yizhou: "Of course, it is to make it burn more conveniently and last longer. Also, I am not trying to interfere with the mining of carbonite. I am just their downstream sales. Signing a long-term cooperation contract with them will not cause any loss to them, but will give them a more stable customer."

The two looked at each other. Is this true?

Jiang Yizhou continued: "So, I specifically asked you two to come here this time to ask for your opinions."

After all, this matter involves the Huo family. The Huo family and the Liao family and the Qi family have deep grievances, so they need to communicate with both of them no matter what.

Liao Qi and Qi Hao bowed at the same time and said, "Everything is up to the master's arrangement."

Jiang Yizhou nodded, "Don't worry, I will take your matters to heart. In fact, this is not only a cooperation, but also the best opportunity to get close to them. Only by getting close to them and understanding them can we find a way to defeat them."

The two were both moved and excited, and agreed loudly.
