Chapter 821: Battle Clouds Under Calm
No ads, you want to read a book, it's cool to watch!
The clouds of war are converging, and even the people of Datang have felt this oppressive atmosphere. /bsp; From time to time, groups of soldiers came over from the wharf, escorting packages marked with army logos to the ships docked there.
Waves of transports escorted by soldiers also ran on the official roads everywhere, and the local troops, who had rarely been seen by the common people, opened their camps at this time, and occasionally a detachment of cavalry patrolled along the roads.
The officials in the yamen of the government offices in various places began to work on time with water and fire sticks, and took the initiative to come to the various markets to help the position order, and even set up shelves for the people who distributed the goods themselves, and then asked the walking old people if they had anything to do.
The government has put up notices one after another, demanding that local law and order should be strictly enforced in the recent period, and that gangsters who have nothing to do will not be allowed to continue to wander around the streets in groups.
There is a new project in the baby candy house, the Good Baby Award, as long as the children who go to school in the school do not run around after school, return home to review with peace of mind, or come to the baby candy house to study with other children in the open room of the candy house, you will get a reward.
Or a delicious little cake, or a few pretty candies, and if you behave well enough, you might even get a nice dress.
In just half a day's work, the people of Datang knew that there was going to be a war, and it was a war personally commanded by the god of war Juan Juan in their minds.
I have fought wars before, but I have never fought like this once, and every time I fought in the past, there was a common characteristic. That is when the horn of war sounds, the price of things in the country rises, and if the war is difficult, the rent will even be temporarily raised.
In fact, the people everywhere are already ready for this, and they only hope that after the war, the price of goods will be lowered again.
The businessmen also began to move, one by one to contact other peers. Ask if you should take advantage of the opportunity to stock up on some goods and raise the price when the time comes, so that you can make more money on the difference.
Small merchants gathered to discuss. I felt that I should do it according to the previous rules, but I was not at ease, so I decided to go to a bigger businessman. Especially the people on the top list of Monopoly ask about the situation, and everyone makes money together.
Suzhou City, Jiangnan East Road, the mansion of the Ge family in the city, it is ten o'clock at night, the lights in the house are bright, the electric lights are hanging high above the courtyards, the sound of diesel motors is roaring endlessly, and people at home are shuttling back and forth.
Ge Yunfei, the female proprietor of the Splendid Grocery Dealer, sat in the hall, and orders for distribution of goods were conveyed from her mouth, and the telegrams from the local telegraph office rang non-stop.
"Pay attention to prices everywhere. If there is any fluctuation, I will order them to report it, and the managers of the branches in various places will not allow them to change the prices of the goods sold by the branches at will, and set up the telegraph machines in our house. Always ready to receive court news from the Monopoly Alliance. ”
After Ge Yunfei conveyed a bunch of orders, he closed his eyes and thought about it for a while, and then conveyed a new order, then picked up a bowl of soup on the table next to him, took two sips, and let out a long breath.
Today from noon. After there was a move in Jiangyin's reserves, she didn't have time to rest, she knew very well what the big warehouse community in Jiangyin was for, as long as there was a change there, it must have been Zhang Xiaobao's order, and the war would inevitably start.
So she didn't have time to eat, so she called the person in charge of buying and selling at home, and after discussing it together, she began to arrange all the things for the splendid groceries, and now that she had finally arranged the arrangements, all she had to do was wait.
See what the Monopoly League has to say.
The Monopoly Alliance sounds like a pure business organization, and only businessmen who enter the top list of Monopoly are eligible to join, but once they join, it will appear that this alliance is not a simple business alliance, and there are court personnel hidden behind it.
For example, the simplest way to organize the transportation of goods to places outside the Tang Dynasty is to exchange them with the local natives, and to replace them with those who have not joined the alliance, just knowing how to gather the goods and do it according to the requirements of others.
However, the merchants in the alliance were given the general climate of each place, the reefs in the sea along the way, and the areas where wind and waves may occur.
At the same time, they can also receive a copy of the navigation route of the Datang Ocean Patrol Fleet, plus a special telegraph machine, and the corresponding password to communicate with the fleet.
If there is no imperial court behind the alliance, who believes it? Not to mention the contact password, even a telegraph machine can't be taken out and given to you to use.
In particular, the most important point is that the stewards sent out by the various alliances will be sent with a handful of sixteen bullets and two magazines for them to carry with them to protect themselves, and at the same time, the stewards who go out will be asked to collect as much local information as possible in each place.
Including what kind of animals and plants are present, what is the structure of the local tribes, and the doctor who follows the team reports the real physical condition of the people in the team.
Ge Yunfei knew from this that this was a court action under the banner of a businessman, and the purpose was to control all influential businessmen in the country.
And I also know that since the emergence of the Monopoly Alliance, none of the businessmen in it have been kicked out, even if they have made less money in the recent past, or if they have not operated well in any aspect and lost money.
According to his family property and status in the top rankings, he should have been expelled from the alliance and replaced by someone else who was better, but in fact, they were not expelled at all, but instead got the support of Datang Qianzhuang Dingli, and even released interest-free loans.
This shows that the imperial court does not want the businessmen in the Monopoly Alliance to have the matter of telling others the rules inside because they leave the alliance, so they have to help them when there is a mistake in their capital operation.
And the businessmen who enter the alliance basically do not have continuous losses, as long as they are given a little help, they can immediately regain their strength, otherwise, they will not be on the list at the beginning.
But other people can also come in, such as the rising stars, whose predecessors have not been kicked out, as long as they have a certain level of assets, they can join the league, and their position in the top of the Monopoly list changes according to their assets.
The only difference is that the top leaderboard used to have only a hundred people, but now it has expanded to five hundred.
Theoretically, the top 200 are eligible to join the alliance, but the actual number of people in the alliance has exceeded 300, which means that some merchants have changed their positions on the leaderboard before, but have not left the alliance.
Ge Yunfei was waiting patiently, waiting for the imperial court to give an order to the alliance, and then there was no need to think about any other issues, how the imperial court arranged, he and others would do what they did, even if the imperial court wanted the alliance people to donate all their property, he could not object, and he did not even hesitate.
"Report, there are guests from outside the house, saying that they are coming to Thunder Logistics Group, which is a thorn." When Ge Yunfei was thinking about the alliance, Xiao Si ran into the hall and sent a famous thorn as he spoke.
Ge Yunfei nodded, took the famous thorn very casually, opened it and glanced at it, the person immediately got up from the chair and ordered: "Come on, open the main door, and greet me with me." ”
"Fei'er, who's coming?" An old man's voice came from the side hall.
"Dad, you stay with you, your daughter went over in person, it was Li Chengfang, the owner of Thunder Logistics, who came, the time is not right, he should be in Luoyang, when did he come to our Suzhou?"
Ge Yunfei said a word to her father, she shook her head, and walked outside with doubts in her heart, she was really confused, according to the time, if Li Chengfang had just received the news, or if he got the news at noon, he should not have arrived in Suzhou in the blink of an eye.
Luoyang is some distance away from Suzhou, and there is no such degree by train, but unfortunately, the rails of the train are only repaired from the south to the capital, and there are very few other horizontal places, if it is repaired directly to Jiannan Road.
But obviously it's not possible now, I heard that when this railway is built, there are no less than 300,000 people who die, and it's really an inch of rail and an inch of blood, but fortunately, the people who die are people who come from outside, and the Tang people are also a little, but that's accidental, just like walking and falling will also fall to death.
Soon, the door of Gefu was pushed open with a creaking sound, and Li Chengfang, who was standing and waiting with a few people outside, showed a smile on his face, he was really afraid that this strong woman would only open a side door, what should he do at that time?
"No wonder from noon, the little girl, I feel that the sky above the Tang Dynasty is shrouded in a tense atmosphere, it turns out that it was Li Dong's family who came at night, welcome, welcome, please inside."
Ge Yunfei smiled when she saw Li Chengyi, clasped her fists with both hands, arched her hand like a man greeted her, and said.
Li Chengfang also smiled, and also returned the salute, saying: "Ge Dongjia is saying that I brought the war?" I, Thunder Logistics and your splendid groceries, are partners, I only bring peace and money, no war. Please! ”
The two of them let each other into Ge's Mansion, and the people brought by Li Chengfang were naturally responsible for arranging them.
Returning to the hall, Li Chengfang looked around and asked, "I don't know if my uncle is here?" I should have a visit. ”
"You didn't take a gift, just meet me like this, my dad is resting in the side hall, let's get down to business first, and when you're done, I'll wait for you to make up a gift, and then see my dad."
Ge Yunfei didn't want others to disturb his father at all, his father was not in good health, especially in the spring of this year, he committed an illness and almost didn't survive, first let people hang his life with ginseng, and then a telegram went out, and the Deyi Medical College sent a team of experts, which saved his life, and is now in the process of continuing to recuperate.
This is one of the benefits, or benefits, of joining the Alliance, otherwise you would never be able to invite an expert group.
Li Cheng showed regret, he also heard that Ge Yunfei's father was sick, so he wanted to see the situation, nodded helplessly, and said: "Actually, I really brought the gift, that is, I didn't send it directly today, I brought ten tons of hot spring water from Huayuan County, and let someone send it over early tomorrow morning, you can heat it yourself and let your uncle bubble." ”
"Really? Thanks, let's get down to business. Ge Yunfei was slightly stunned and said...
