Sky Vessel Commerce Association.
One of the largest commerce associations in Dashun.
In terms of shipping and water trade, they were unmatched, with businesses spanning large rivers and adjacent oceans, claiming to connect the south and the north with an inventory of every possible item.
Some said the Sky Vessel Commerce Association was backed by multiple noble families holding shares, while others claimed the Yellow-Robed Emperor owned half the profits, turning the entire association into a money bag for the Imperial Clan.
As to which was true and which was false, Liang Qu had no way of knowing.
But he knew that in May, the Sky Vessel Commerce Association branch in Huaiyin Prefecture had sold an incomplete ancient manuscript for the terrifying price of thirteen million taels of silver.
And similar transactions occurred almost every month.
Damn it, who is spending over a million taels of silver on a book? he wondered.
