Chapter 40: Yunzhou City

Yunzhou, one of the thirteen states of Juliu Kingdom, is located in the southwest, and has been a place of harsh environment and mixed hue since ancient times. There are also many deep mountains and rivers, where there are many bandits and barbarians.

However, Yunzhou City is where Yunzhou City is located, and it is also quite prosperous.

When Lei Dao and the others came to Yunzhou City, what they saw was people coming and going, cars and horses flowing, and business travel was continuous. There are also many people dressed up in strange costumes.

Lei Dao's group of nearly 500 people is still very eye-catching.

Fortunately, Lei Wei had already answered at the gate of the city, and as soon as Lei Dao and the others entered Yunzhou City, they were immediately placed in a relatively remote and sparsely populated courtyard.

It seems that this is not a prosperous area of the state city, but it is quite depressed. And among the people who come and go, there are not a few people in rags.

"Big brother. ”

Lei Dao saw the eldest brother Lei Wei, in just one month, the once high-spirited eldest brother now looks quite depressed, his eyes are black, and he looks tired at first glance.

It seems that during this time, Lei Wei was running around in the state city, and he was not satisfied.

"Third child, it's good that you're here, and I'm finally lucky to live up to my life and buy such a large piece of land, which is enough to serve as the headquarters of the Dart Bureau in Yunzhou. ”

In fact, not only this yard, but also two other adjacent yards were bought by Lei Wei.

When the time comes, Lei Dao will open up three more courtyards, and he will be able to have a large enough place.

It's just that this place is a bit messy, and it should belong to the slum area of Yunzhou City, but fortunately, the dart game doesn't need to be in a bustling place.

"Big brother, it's hard work! In Yunzhou City, I don't know the place well, I'm afraid it's not easy to buy these three courtyards, right?"

"It's really not easy, Yunzhou City is more complicated than we imagined. In fact, I was optimistic about a few courtyards in the prosperous area before, and under the banner of the second child, everything went well. It's just that as soon as I revealed that I was going to start a dart game, the trouble came. The owners of those courtyards repented overnight and refused to sell them to me. ”

"Later, I investigated some situations, and it should be the dart bureau in Yunzhou City that exerted pressure behind the scenes. ”

Lei Dao frowned and said, "Yunzhou City's dart game has so much energy?"

Lei Wei said with a wry smile: "I also investigated, there are many large and small dart games in Yunzhou City, but many dart games are actually run by some large chambers of commerce, mainly to escort their own chambers of commerce." There are only three large dart games that really solicit business from the outside world. ”

"Behind these three dart bureaus is not simple, and there are vaguely high-ranking officials in the state city. Although the second child is a high-level military general, he can't control Yunzhou City, and those people are not afraid of the second child. It's just that they finally left some affection and didn't threaten me, otherwise, these courtyards would not be able to be bought. ”

Lei Dao was thoughtful.

He thought it was strange before, the eldest brother was also in charge of being outside, and he had been in business for so many years, why did he go to Yunzhou City for so long without news?

Now it seems that it should be blocked in Yunzhou City.

And as Lei Dao had predicted before, the identity of the second brother Lei Wu did not work in Yunzhou City.

It's all up to them!

"It's okay, big brother, I've worked hard for you this time, but since we're already here, we have to continue this dart game no matter what. It will open tomorrow and officially play the name of the Floating Cloud Dart Bureau!"

Lei Dao made a quick decision.

Perhaps, they don't have so much energy and influence in Yunzhou City, but no matter what, he has to gain a firm foothold in Yunzhou City. Buying a place is only the first step.

Next, it's time for the official opening!

"Third child, in fact, I had a faint feeling that they had warned me before. ”

"Warning?"

"Yes, I don't know who they are, but it should have something to do with the big three darts. You can't imagine the prosperity of Yunzhou City, and the business of the dart bureau is also very good, after all, there are many mountains and forests in the entire Yunzhou, and there are many bandits in the deep mountains and rivers. If the Chamber of Commerce wants to do business, it has to rely on the dart bureau to escort the goods, and the benefits in this are unimaginable! We can still buy the yard now, but if it really opens, and if the interests of those people are moved, I am afraid that there will be trouble for outsiders like us. ”

Lei Wei said suspiciously.

Lei Dao glanced at his eldest brother Lei Wei, and he knew that Lei Wei wanted to retreat. At the beginning, he was high-spirited and heroic in Leijiabao, but when he arrived in Yunzhou City, Lei Wei was deeply shocked.

Even Lei Wu's identity didn't work anymore, and Lei Wei was a little afraid.

After all, Lei Wei is just a businessman, his thinking is always that of a businessman, the people do not fight with officials, and the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, in this case, Lei Wei can't think of any other way.

But Thunder is different.

Lei Dao's purpose is not just to open a dart game, he opened a dart game to expand his power, thereby expanding the intelligence network, to find martial arts to exercise his internal organs, and to survive!

In order to survive, how could Lei Dao be afraid of the warnings of some forces in Yunzhou City?

"Big brother, don't worry, it will open tomorrow!"

Lei Dao has already decided.

The next day, the Floating Cloud Dart Bureau officially opened, and unlike what Lei Dao imagined, no one came to find fault, on the contrary, there was no one.

Yes, the treatment of the Fuyun Dart Bureau when it opened was very different from the previous opening in Fuyun County, and it was even diametrically opposed.

It was deserted, and no one came to congratulate him.

Although Lei Dao was a little surprised, it was still in his expectations. No matter how much silver Lei Wei used before, he had more or less something to do with some merchants in Yunzhou City.

But so what?

The local snakes in Yunzhou said hello, who dares to come to the Floating Cloud Dart Bureau?

One, two, three, four, five......

For more than ten days in a row, the Floating Cloud Dart Bureau was very idle, and everyone was very idle, because, in the past ten days, the Floating Cloud Dart Bureau had no business.

If this continues, the living expenses of 500 people will be a large amount of expenditure every day.

Even if there is 10,000 gold from Leijiabao and the wealth scavenged from the cottage of Fuyun Mountain, it can't last long, at best, it can only last for more than half a year.

Or grit your teeth and hold on for a year.

Others can grit their teeth, but Lei Dao can't.

With little life left, how could he waste a year in vain?

"Third child, it's not okay to go on like this, you have to think of a way. Otherwise, let Lei Wu come to Yunzhou City?"

The boss Lei Wei was a little hesitant and suggested that Lei Wu come back.

Lei Dao shook his head and said, "The second brother has already led the troops back to Leijiabao last time, and he has a station, so he can't leave without permission." Moreover, there is a certain distance from Yunzhou City, and those dignitaries in Yunzhou City may not necessarily sell face to the second brother. ”

"For today's plan, there is only one way, and that is to fight!"

Lei Dao's eyes were blazing, and his eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness.

"Hit?"

Lei Wei was startled and said, "Third child, don't mess around." Those three dart bureaus have a big background, if you go to the door, I'm afraid they will use the power of the officials in Yunzhou City, then you and I will be in trouble, and even bring huge trouble to Lei Jiabao and the second child. ”

Looking at Lei Wei's nervous appearance, Lei Dao laughed.

He naturally knew what the eldest brother was worried about.

"Who said I was going to hit the door? Big brother, the strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, I know this. But in order for the game to develop, it is necessary to suppress these snakes. However, I wouldn't just go straight to the door, that would be foolish. And I'm not at the point where I can break all the rules. ”

"And what can you do?"

"It's very simple, dart game, in the end, we have to return to the core issue, which is to escort the goods. Whoever can safely escort the goods to the designated place will be done! Since the three major dart bureaus have used their connections to prevent us from obtaining some business, if it is a business that even they can't do, or a business that they dare not do, we will take over. Once successful, no matter how unwilling the three major darts are, no matter how big the connections are, they will not be able to stop our floating cloud dart game. ”

Hearing Lei Dao's method, Lei Wei also felt that his eyes lit up.

"It's a good idea, but it's going to be very difficult, if not impossible. What happens if it fails?"

"If you fail, you'll die. My eldest brother also knows that I am terminally ill, and if I don't work hard, I can't live at all. If I don't develop and expand the dart game, I will not be able to find the martial arts to exercise my internal organs, and I will naturally only have a dead end at that time. If you fight hard, then there is still hope for success. ”

"Big brother, if it's you, what choice should you make?"

Rey understood.

He looked at Lei Dao, wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he didn't say anything, and agreed with Lei Dao's method.

As Lei Dao said, the left and right are dead, so it's better to fight.

"If I really fail, the eldest brother will take the rest of the people and return to Leijiabao. ”

Lei Wei didn't say anything, and just turned around and left.

He had to inquire about whether there was any business in Yunzhou City that the three major dart bureaus did not dare to take over.

Regardless of whether Lei Dao succeeds or fails, Lei Wei has to give Lei Dao such a chance to try, a chance to work hard!
