Even if it is not long before the Spring Festival, for the people of Xilong, their consumption pleasure is still high. The most pleasing thing for the people is the goods shipped by Hu Biao, which are urgently needed by these people, and the price is also very fair.

In the past, the caravan traders who came to Shillong would find ways to lower the price of goods for the common people. Collecting at a low price and selling at a high price is also a common method used by many businessmen. But this time, the price given by Hu Biao really satisfied the people.

Li Dacheng, who temporarily acted as the shopkeeper of the horse team vendor, said somewhat puzzled: "Mr. Hu, with such a high price, I'm afraid there is not much profit!" If you do this, I'm afraid it will ruin the market! ”

Li Dacheng, who also traveled around the country in previous years to buy mountain goods and other goods, naturally knew what price these local specialties in the southwest could sell outside. At present, the price given by Hu Biao is enough to make other traders unprofitable, and they will never receive the goods again.

Although the people are simple, it doesn't mean that they are stupid. After suffering a loss, it is almost impossible for those traders to buy the goods of the people and mountain people at a low price in the future. This also means that the monopoly of the caravan is broken.

Facing Li Dacheng's worry and puzzlement, Hu Biao said with a smile: "Li Tou, the price I gave is really not high, but there is still a lot of profit." To the vendors who buy your goods, they are also second-class dealers.

I took a look at it earlier, and the quality of the things sent by these people and mountain people is good. When the goods are received, I will let people escort them to Longzhou, and then find a ship to ship them directly to Shanghai. These local products can be sold at a high price in Shanghai.

If I can make money, why don't I give some of the profits to these people and mountain people? Only if they get more benefits, they will sell me more. If you can receive it from other places, I can also receive it at a high price! ”

Compared with the caravan vendors who resold the collected goods to other vendors, Hu Biao was able to save the procedure of changing the goods. Hu Biao directly transported these collected mountain goods back to Shanghai for direct sale through his own cargo ships.

Aihua Commercial Bank and Fuxing Commercial Bank can become the terminal for selling these mountain goods. The retail price, naturally, is higher than the purchase price. Wouldn't it be better to save the middlemen to make the difference and give the money saved to the people and mountain people?

After listening to what Hu Biao said, Li Dacheng was very surprised and said: "People in Shanghai also eat such things? ”

"Why don't you eat it? There are many mountain treasures in the southwest, which are sought-after goods in Shanghai, and many times money may not be able to buy them! Now that the price is higher, those mountain people will benefit, and they will definitely work harder to find mountain goods in the future, isn't it better? ”

After convincing Li Dacheng, this grand event belonging to the people of Shillong soon ended with the goods about to be consumed. Many mountain people who came to trade even said with concern when they left: "When will you come next time?" ”

Thinking of the goods that were sold cheaply in the past, these mountain people naturally hated those vendors. Now seeing that Hu Biao's purchase price is so fair, the mountain people naturally hope to sell the goods they have dug up to the traders who give more money.

In the face of these mountain people's inquiries, Hu Biao quickly asked people to reply: "Our caravan will not leave, and in the future, we will open a store in the city to buy mountain goods, and the price is about the same as today." As long as it's in stock, we'll take it! ”

"You're going to open a store in town?"

"Yes! In the future, if you want to buy anything, you can come to our store and buy it. Even in the future, if you can't find work in the mountains, you can come to the city and have a look. When the time comes, we'll pay people to do the work. ”

Taking advantage of this grand goods fair, Hu Biao also publicized the follow-up recruitment. In that case, some mountain people who lack financial resources will also be interested and come to the city to find work.

If you don't want to collect money, Hu Biao can send food and things. All in all, Hu Biao, who plans to build in Xillong next, is not short of materials, but more of manpower. The premise is that potential threats must be dealt with.

At the end of the trade fair, which lasted for nearly three days, the people of Shillong, who had benefited from it, also invested more enthusiasm in the mountains to dig mountain goods. In the process, Hu Biao had people spend money to buy two private houses in the city as shops for buying and selling goods.

Zhou Shuo and the others, who watched all this coldly, didn't want to make a big fuss, so they hurried to contact more people. Even the bandits who had been invited were not with them, but they were lured by Eli.

Bandits attacking cities are also common in some small remote counties in the southwest. Knowing that a team of thousands of bandits had been gathered, Zhou Shuo, who was the mastermind behind the scenes, was also extremely happy in his heart, feeling that he was the one in control of Shillong.

On the other hand, Hu Biao's side, through the reconnaissance detachment dispatched, has already explored the conspiracy of Zhou Shuo and his entourage. Seeing the bandit teams that had gathered outside the city one after another, Hu Biao did not startle the snakes, but launched the corresponding arrangements.

Through private letters, Hu Biao quickly conveyed corresponding instructions to Qin Tianyou and Zhu Chengzong. There is only one core requirement, that is, to wipe out this group of bandits who are about to attack and ensure the safety of the people in the city.

With the corresponding decision, Hu Biao quickly ordered: "Pillar, after dawn, you take people and escort a batch of goods out of the city." With so many of us staying in the city, the other party will definitely not dare to start easily, and we should give them a little confidence.

After leaving the city, a squad was sent to escort Li Tou and his party back to Longzhou. The assault battalion brought by Lei Lian was already on its way. Judging by the timing, it shouldn't be long before they arrive.

Strive to solve the hidden danger on Shillong's side before Lei Lian and them arrive. All those involved in this incident must be cleaned up. Don't be afraid, since these people are actively looking for death, then we will fulfill them. ”

"Yes!"

Just when Zhou Shuo and the others began to plan to make a move, the spies who were in charge of monitoring the horse team soon came with the news: "The horse team plans to leave tomorrow morning, do we want to do it tonight and leave these horses behind?" ”

Regarding his subordinates' inquiry, Zhou Shuo pondered for a while but shook his head and said, "If you offend the Ma Gang, we won't be able to sell anything in the future." Let them go, and when they leave, there will be only a hundred or so people surnamed Qin left in the city, are we still afraid that we won't be able to win?

When we get rid of the surnamed Qin and his subordinates, we will have the final say on this Shillong. When the time comes, are you still afraid that you won't have any money to make? Don't lose the big because of the small, the most important thing for us at the moment is the goods grown in the mountains, and it is not appropriate to make extraneous branches! ”

With Zhou Shuo's final word, the other subordinates didn't dare to say anything. In fact, this horse team also has a lot of manpower, and if it really fights, I am afraid that the county will be broken. At that time, it will also be extremely unfavorable to Zhou Shuo and others.

In this atmosphere, Li Dacheng and his entourage soon left Shillong with the purchased goods. As for Hu Biao and his guards, they lived in the purchased house and settled down in the form of shopkeepers.

Worried that the horse team would return halfway, Zhou Shuo also sent spies to follow him. When the horse team left the territory of Shillong, the spies returned to report that the horse team had been on the road and would not return. And this also gave Zhou Shuo great confidence.

Then he ordered: "Xu Wang, wait for you to go outside the city, get two hundred guns, and give them to your subordinates when it gets dark, so that they can join forces inside and outside." When the time comes, I will go outside the city and contact the other big bosses to discuss the siege plan.

You're in charge of the city, and if all goes well, you'll be thou shalt with the sound of gunfire. Remember, you must tread carefully and don't let the surname Qin find out. As long as the group of people surnamed Qin is solved, we will have the final say in the future! ”

"Yes!"

When Zhou Shuo quietly left Shillong with his henchmen and came to the valley where those bandits were hiding, the reconnaissance detachment also reported the situation to Hu Biao in time. After receiving the information from the reconnaissance detachment, Hu Biao immediately ordered: "Order all departments to prepare to close the net!" ”

As night fell, the officers and men of the former security regiment, who had been resting for a few days, also looked a little nervous. Regarding Xu Wang's plan to decide to eradicate Qin Tianyou and his party, many officers and soldiers were actually reluctant. The reason is that they have been very comfortable for these three days.

Just three days of food made these officers and soldiers feel that it was better to be on an errand under Qin Tianyou than under Xu Wang. It's a pity that most of them are locals and know how powerful Zhou Shuo and Xu Wang are in the local area.

If they don't follow their orders, they will also be retaliated against when the matter is done. Thinking of this, the people of the former security regiment also had to give in. obediently obeyed the order, and prepared to hit Qin Tianyou by surprise tonight.

Looking at the subordinates brought by Qin Tianyou, most of them went out to patrol and stand guard on duty. On the side of the barracks, there are not many people left. Xu Wang, who had already returned to the city with his weapons, began to send people to gather his subordinates who were resting in the camp.

It didn't take long for the subordinates who sent out the camp to drink people, and soon appeared in front of Xu Wang with a group of people. To the shock of Xu Wang and his henchmen, just as Xu Wang was about to give the order to distribute weapons, something happened in the team that came out.

"Don't move! Whoever dares to move, who will die! ”

With a flashlight and muzzle, aimed at Xu Wang and his men, most of the soldiers of the security regiment who came out of the camp seemed to be very honest. Facing these flashlights and muzzles, Xu Wang was also shocked and said, "This, how is this possible?" ”

"Jumping clown! If it weren't for the bait, Lao Tzu would have cleaned you up. Xu Wang, do you still want to resist? ”

"Brothers, fight with him!"

As soon as he heard Qin Tianyou's voice, Xu Wang quickly decided to fight for his life. As a result, it was obvious that under Xu Wang's beckoning, his henchmen directly raised their guns to resist, but saw cold crossbow arrows piercing the throats and chests of those henchmen.

Qin Tianyou, who came to Xu Wang, punched him without saying a word, and after beating Xu Wang with a scream, Qin Tianyou said with a cold expression: "At this time, do you still want to resist to the death?" Do you really want to die that much? ”

Looking at the henchmen who were killed by the crossbow arrows, the remaining Xu Wang's subordinates quickly raised their hands and surrendered. On the other hand, the soldiers of the security regiment who came out at this moment also breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Xu Wang being subdued, and felt that Xu Wang was afraid that he would be in a catastrophe!
