Poor Family: I reached the top by marrying a wife

Chapter 465: Uncle 3?

Zhang San and the others looked embarrassed.

"You don't have to do this, you have helped me a lot along the way!"

"Brother, why did you come to pick me up in person?"

Jiang Chen walked over at this time and came to Luo Yun's side.

"Hahaha, my father is worried that something might happen to you, so he has been asking me to wait for you here recently!"

"Now that you're here, I can be free!"

"Come on, let's go back!"

Luo Yun laughed when he saw Jiang Chen.

"Okay! Let's go then!"

Jiang Chen didn't waste any time, he mounted his horse and followed Luo Yun all the way to Cangyuan City!

After arriving in Cangyuan City, Xu Meng and his companions rested as arranged by Luo Yun.

Zhang San and Jiang Chen followed Luo Yun to the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Jiang Chen! You are finally here!" General Luo rushed out excitedly when he saw Jiang Chen coming!

"Old Nine! You missed me so much!" Marquis Jian'an hugged Jiang Chen directly.

But when Zhang San heard Marquis Jian'an address Jiang Chen, he was dumbfounded!

"Lord, you...what do you call Lord Jiang?!"

"Old Nine!?"

"Uncle San, you are here too!"

"Thank you for your hard work along the way!" Marquis Jian'an smiled when he saw Zhang San.

"Hahaha, Third Brother, you don't know yet, Jiang Chen is my ninth adopted son!"

"But you can't tell your little girls about this!"

When General Luo saw Zhang San’s dazed look, he couldn’t help but burst out laughing!

"General, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"We have been treating Lord Jiang, no... should be called Major General, more politely along the way!" Zhang San looked embarrassed.

"Okay, it's okay, Jiang Chen won't care!"

"Besides, you are his elder!"

General Luo smiled, and then introduced to Jiang Chen: "Jiang Chen, you may not know that Zhang San is my brother who went through life and death with me back then. He can be considered your uncle!"

"But later on, he got tired of military life and became a guard at my house. Otherwise... he would have at least been a general!"

……

"Uncle San, I am sorry for being so rude along the way!"

After hearing General Luo's introduction, Jiang Chen finally understood why Zhang San was so powerful!

It turns out that Zhang San is the person who fought together with General Luo!

He used to call Zhang San brother, which was really wrong!

"Lord Jiang, there is no need to be so polite. Since you are the adopted son of the general, you are our major general!"

"We will definitely protect you in the future!" Zhang San said with a firm face.

"Thank you very much, Uncle San!" Jiang Chen didn't hesitate and agreed with a smile.

"Hahaha, well, you two don't have to be polite!"

"You will have many opportunities to spend time together in the future!"

General Luo smiled and then came to Jiang Chen.

"Jiang Chen, it's really inappropriate for you to come to the grassland this time!"

"You also know that the grassland people have been looking for opportunities to blackmail Dajing under the guise of drought."

"To put it bluntly, they suffered too much loss in the previous battle, so now they want to save face!"

"Now that you're here, it will further irritate them. I'm afraid..."

General Luo said this and shook his head helplessly.

"Haha, don't worry, godfather, he is just a grassland man, there is nothing to worry about."

"Besides, with my adoptive father here, the people from the grassland can't hurt me!" Jiang Chen smiled faintly.

……

"That's true, but you can't always be under our protection. If you want to go to the grassland to negotiate..."

General Luo looked worried.

"Don't worry, foster father. I have already thought of a way to make the grassland troops withdraw!"

"Moreover, I can also help you, godfather, earn enough military funds to improve the lives of the border troops!"

Jiang Chen said with a smile on his face.

"How can this be!?"

General Luo looked incredulous.

But Marquis Jian'an thought of something!

“Old Nine, you…you are not planning to do business privately in the grassland, are you!?”

"What!? Absolutely not!"

When General Luo heard this, he hurriedly stopped it!

But Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Godfather, don't be anxious, just listen to me!"

"Jiang Chen, it's not that your father doesn't give you face and doesn't listen to you!"

"Really, we can't help the enemy!"

"If the grassland people have enough supplies, they will become even stronger. Then...how will we deal with them!?"

General Luo said with a worried look on his face.

"Foster father, if we don't trade with the grassland, will the grassland not get those supplies?"

"There are more than dozens of smuggling routes along this border!?"

"Even if it's you, godfather, you wouldn't dare to cut them all off, right?!"

"Among them, there are certainly some teams of princes and nobles, right?!"

Jiang Chen said in a deep voice.

"This……"

When General Luo heard Jiang Chen's words, his face turned extremely ugly.

Indeed, Jiang Chen was telling the truth.

Border smuggling is common.

Even he wouldn't dare to intercept every caravan!

"Godfather, I know you are an upright person."

"But have you ever thought that if the trade route is under our control, it will be more beneficial to us!"

Jiang Chen saw that General Luo was silent and continued.

……

"What's the benefit for us? Besides money, what else?" General Luo frowned.

"Haha, godfather, think about it, if we control the caravan, then we can give the grassland whatever we want, right?"

"In other words, if we don't give them anything, wouldn't it be difficult for them to get such supplies?!"

"As long as we control the amount of goods given to the grassland, to a certain extent, we are restraining the grassland!"

"Also, if the imperial court wants to fight the grasslands, and we stop supplying them first, then when the war breaks out, will the grasslands be short of supplies?"

"this……!?"

General Luo and everyone else were stunned!

This is the first time they are looking at this matter in this aspect.

What Jiang Chen said... seems to make sense!

"Foster father, not only that, our occupation of the trade route can also prevent the grassland people from joining forces with the members and merchants in Dajing in the future."

“Now they are united for sufficient benefits.”

"But once the benefits are gone, what do they have left?"

"Besides, after we start trading, we can get horses on the grassland!"

"We still have too few high-quality horses nowadays!"

"Father, don't you want your soldiers to ride on good horses?"

"Don't you want the soldiers' families to get more money and have fewer people starve to death?"

After Jiang Chen finished saying this, General Luo was completely moved!

What Jiang Chen said does make sense.

Moreover, the life of the soldiers on the border is too hard!

If it can make the soldiers live better and does not harm the interests of Dajing, then... this seems to be a possible thing!
