There was also the strong and the weak among the land-owning class. In terms of foundation, the land-owning class in the North was definitely not as good as the Yu Clan. Even the land-owning class had to be polite to the noble ladies of the imperial family.

Yu Youyao had also considered it. "The Xie family's connections and channels are my backing. The silk of the retail investors has to go through the Xie family's channels. The Xie family has a silk manor under their name and thousands of looms. They can dye silk weaves and seals into exquisite silk, and they can also turn the silk into tenacious threads that can be used for armor. The interests of the Xie family and I are mutually beneficial. We're integrated and unbreakable."
