But the wise Old Madam said, "Being close to the king is like being close to a tiger, even in peace, one must think of danger."
The Song Family leaped from salt merchants to nobility, openly taking a share of maritime trade, and their trade caravans stretched as far as Holland Rotterdam, with a flood of silver coins flowing into the Song Family's treasury.
But only a few knew that the silver coins merely circled within the Song Family's treasury and then flowed out like water.
With a financial assault of spending like flowing water, the Song Family established a vast underground network across the east, south, west, and north of Great Chu within a few short years.
