Chapter 135: Killing with a knife again
The new capital city is in the north of the Flame City, more than 2,000 miles away from the Flame City. The new capital city is a medium-sized city in the Blue Wolf Empire, and it used to be more than twice the size of the Flame City. However, due to the rapid development of Flame City in recent years, the city has become the same size as the new city. But Flame City is far more prosperous than the New Capital City, and has surpassed the New Capital City.
Qinghuang Mountain is also within the confines of the new capital, but it is full of cliffs and is difficult to climb. Flame City only has today, thanks to Qinghuang Mountain. Although the new capital city also has Qinghuang Mountain, it does not have much use value.
It's not that Qinghuang Mountain can't go up, but those ordinary people and people with low cultivation can't climb it at all. Those masters who are above the seventh order of the realm refining realm, who wants to make a living by collecting medicines? They are all big people in these cities.
Although many people are also fighting the idea of Qinghuangshan, the environmental conditions here are so harsh that they have no way to reap the benefits. Therefore, Qinghuang Mountain is almost a waste mountain for the new capital.
City Lord Ye Lin is Ye Zhengdao's nephew, and he has been the city lord for ten years. Although he is less than fifty years old this year, he is already a second-order powerhouse in the God Refining Realm. Some time ago, King Zhennan came here to inspect, but he didn't stay here for too long, because he knew what the emperor meant. He didn't want to turn his face with Ye Zhengdao now, although he knew that Ye Zhengdao was making small moves behind his back.
King Zhennan glanced at it and left the new capital city and went to the next city.
"Strategist, uncle has a letter, let's erode the Flame City, and if we don't seize the resources over there, we will be left far behind by the Flame City in the future. I'd like to hear your opinion. ”
Ye Lin's military advisor is called Ye Huan, although they are all surnamed Ye, he is not Ye Lin's clan, and it is pure coincidence that he found a military advisor surnamed Ye.
"City Lord, we are both under the jurisdiction of the Blue Wolf Empire, and we can't easily cause conflicts. Duan Wuxian was a useless waste, and it was very easy to deal with him. Although you are both city lords, his foundation is far less solid than yours, and his cultivation is not as high as yours. He definitely wouldn't dare to directly clash with you, but Qinghuang Mountain is now not in the hands of Duan Wuji, but in the hands of the Zhao family. ”
"The Zhao family is more difficult, and some time ago, even the left protector of Yinshan Gate suffered a big loss there. There is a good saying, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake. Yinshan Gate has come all the way, and it is normal to suffer losses if the information is not accurate. If we want to fight the idea of Qinghuang Mountain, it is best to use others to charge into battle, and we can only sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”
"Oh, military advisor, how can you reap the benefits of the fisherman?" Ye Lin hurriedly asked.
"The Shao family, let the Shao family be our spokesperson. ”
"Isn't the Shao family a little weak?" Ye Lin looked puzzled, he didn't understand what Ye Huan's intentions were.
"The Shao family is the first family in our new capital city, and the patriarch Shao Qi is a fourth-order powerhouse in the God Refining Realm. There are at least four powerhouses in the Shao family's refining god realm, and there are at least ten powerhouses above the fifth order of the refining realm. Compared with Yinshan Gate, they are still not enough to see. But don't forget where Shao Qi came from, his senior brother is the leader of the Qilin Gang, as long as the Shao family becomes cannon fodder, can the Qilin Gang sit idly by?"
"Hahahaha. Strategist, there's really you. Do you want to borrow a knife to kill people and lure the Qilin Gang to Flame City to deal with the Zhao family?"
"That's right, the Zhao family is a powerhouse in the Heaven Ascending Realm, don't forget that the leader of the Qilin Gang is also a veteran ninth-order powerhouse in the God Refining Realm, not to mention that he has countless masters. As long as we can help the Zhao family pull hatred, why not do it? If there are many enemies, he will take care of one thing and lose the other, so that we can take advantage of the situation. Ye Huan said that the head is the Tao.
"Okay, let's arrange for someone to go over and do a small deal first, and once the time is right, we will make the deal bigger. I'll talk to Shao Qi tomorrow, he has been trying to talk to my uncle recently, and this is a good opportunity. ”
Shao Qi, the patriarch of the first family in Xindu City, is less than fifty years old this year. In a medium-sized city like Xindu City, it is impossible to be the first family without a few moments. He was only able to bring the Shao family to the position of the first family, thanks to his good identity: "The junior brother of the leader of the Qilin Gang." ”
Shao Qi is arrogant, and his reputation in the new capital is not good. Even when the people of the new capital mentioned him, everyone hated him. But everyone dared to be angry with him, not only because the Shao family was powerful and had a background, but also because Shao Qi was ruthless.
The city lord Ye Lin is not something that the Shao family can afford to offend, because Ye Lin has a good uncle who is the number one celebrity around the emperor. Shao Qi has always wanted to climb into this relationship, and he usually gives gifts to the City Lord's Mansion. But Prime Minister Ye Zhengdao does not take a small Shao family in his eyes. The Shao family is very good in the new capital, but in the eyes of the prime minister, it is a little ant.
Today, Ye Lin called someone to come over and spread the word and asked Shao Qi to go to the City Lord's Mansion to discuss the matter, which made Shao Qi very strange: "What will the City Lord discuss with him?"
"Patriarch Shao is here, please sit down and show Patriarch Shao tea. Ye Lin was very polite to him today, which made Shao Qi a little uncomfortable. Usually he blindly slaps him, he is still playing music, and today's enthusiasm is a little too much.
"I don't know what the city lord has to tell me if I come here, just say something, just do it." Shao Qi said respectfully.
"There are two things to invite Patriarch Shao over today, the first thing is that my uncle will be seventy years old soon, and when the time comes, you will go to the imperial capital with me to pay homage to my uncle. ”
As soon as he heard that he was going to the imperial capital to meet the prime minister, Shao Qi was suddenly in a good mood, this was what he dreamed of. The lord of the city finally promised himself that it was a great thing.
"Don't worry, Lord Castle, I will definitely prepare a generous gift to follow you. I did the generous gift from the lord of the castle. Shao Qi hurriedly said.
"That's embarrassing. Then let's move on to the second thing, there is a Zhao family in Flame City, you know this, right? I heard that the Zhao family has made a lot of money in the past two years. ”
"I know this Zhao family, and I have indeed made a lot of money in the past few years. I don't know why the city lord suddenly mentioned him?" Shao Qi was a little strange.
"The closest city to Flame City is Xindu City, and we are also backed by Qinghuang Mountain, but the mountains we are facing are full of cliffs and cliffs, which are not easy to climb. Moreover, the mountain is foggy all the year round, and the mountain is full of treasures, but the mining cost is too high to be mined. Watching the flames become the Zhao family's fortune, aren't you tempted?"
"Lord Castle, who says it's not. I'm hungry, but the whip can't reach it, and we can't reach it. ”
"Patriarch Shao, that's not what I said, who doesn't have a few good friends? If you want to go there to develop, it's not that there is no way. I am very familiar with the city lord Duan Wuxi, and with the strength of your Shao family, as well as the background of the Qilin Gang behind you, who dares not to give you a little thin noodles?" Ye Lin began to tempt Shao Qi.
"Oh, there is the city lord to pull the line, then I am willing to go over there to make a fortune, and I will split half with the lord to make money. But the Zhao family over there is very tricky, I heard that Yinshan Gate has suffered a big loss, and they have not dared to do anything against the Zhao family again, their strength should not be underestimated. Shao Qi said worriedly.
"The Zhao family has many enemies, not only Yinshan Gate, but also Taishi Mansion and Zhenbei Wangfu. It will be a matter of time before the Zhao family is liquidated, so you don't need to worry about this. As long as you want to make money, you can find a way, and there are many ways to do it. ”
"I would like to hear the guidance of the Lord of the City. Shao Qi was secretly happy in his heart.
"Take some people to the mountains to collect medicines, open a pharmacy in Qinghuang Town, and learn from them to buy medicinal materials. I'll say hello to the Lord of Duan City and reduce your taxes. Squeeze out the Zhao family and become the largest medicinal herb merchant in Qinghuang Town. As for how to go into business, you're a lot more expert than I am. ”
"The city lord has a high move, and he is willing to listen to the dispatch of the lord, so I will arrange for someone to rush to Qinghuang Town on the same day, where I will first gain a foothold, and then try to develop the plan. Shao Qi is very happy now, he has been coveting the medicinal materials of Qinghuang Mountain for a long time, but he can't interfere.
"Okay, I don't know what kind of arrangement Patriarch Shao has?"
"I'll arrange for someone to go to Qinghuang Town tomorrow, first go to two Refining God Realm masters, and then bring a few Refining Earth Realm masters......"
Ye Lin listened to Shao Qi and nodded incessantly. The Shao family can have today, and Shao Qi still has some means.
Zhao Fei would never have dreamed that there were so many people who cared about him, and he was someone who had nothing to do with him, and he didn't know them at all.
Ye Lin and Shao Qi chatted happily, and they also entertained him warmly at noon. After lunch, Shao Qi happily went back and began to arrange for the development of Qinghuang Town.
"How high do you think this Shao Qi's success rate is?" Ye Lin asked Ye Huan.
"It's hard to say, Shao Qi is an insatiable person and does things by any means. I didn't let him go over to make money, but to let him muddy the water first. At the same time, we have to have our own plans, and we can't count on this bastard. Ye Huan's thoughts coincided with Ye Lin.
A few people came to Qinghuang Town today, and they bought a few shops here to buy medicinal herbs here. Their arrival did not attract everyone's attention in Qinghuang Town. Because there are many merchants entering Qinghuang Town every day, in the past, only local merchants in Qinghuang Town were stationed, and now many merchants from the big city are also coming in one after another.
This is a good thing, it can only be more prosperous if more merchants come in.
After they settled in, they began to buy medicinal materials at a slightly higher price in order to plunder resources, which was a good thing for the medicine pickers, and the Zhao family never asked. The purpose of the Zhao family is to make more money for the herb pickers, after all, it is a huge group.
The Zhao family's most profitable things now are marrow washing bags and pills, and medicinal materials are not their main source of income. And the pills are almost all refined in the mountains, which does not cost much at all, and it can also be said that there is no profit.
A few people came to Qinghuang Town and directly raised the purchase price by 5 percent, and some of the herb pickers sold the medicinal herbs to them. Although they raised the price to buy it, those who had been selling medicinal materials to the Zhao family for a long time were not tempted at all. Choosing the Zhao family is more stable, and there are many other benefits, and everyone will not betray the Zhao family for a little profit.
This group of people is the people sent by the Shao family, and the leader is really Shao Qi's younger brother Shao Guangzhou.
Shao Guangzhou was less than fifty years old, and he was already a beginner-level powerhouse in the God Refining Realm. He was arrogant and domineering, and he was used to being strong in the new capital. He also wanted to bring the new capital with him when he came to Qinghuang Town, and they could still do business in peace for the first few days. But after a few days, they showed their true colors and actually wanted to buy and sell. They forced some herb pickers to sell the herbs to themselves at a low price, and when they bought them, they were short of catties and pounds, so that the herb pickers suffered a loss.
In this way, the medicine pickers are basically reluctant to do business with them, which makes Shao Guangzhou very angry.
