Chapter 422: Fight until you're afraid
Although the losses on the grassland and on the plateau also made the Dou family and the eldest grandson Wuji very painful, but unlike the importance of these two places to the Shi family, for the two families, these are just two of their many money bags. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
What really hurts is the loss of those core people, these are loyal subordinates who can't be exchanged for more money, and they are the family roots that have been harvested after spending countless efforts and time, and they are also the human resources that all big families attach the most importance to.
But for the Shi family, the three places that were attacked can be said to be the foundation of the Shi family, and they are irreplaceable big coffers, so the Shi family's revenge has ended here, and it is obviously not up to the principle of reciprocity in their minds.
And since the other party is fighting the idea of cutting off their own lifeline, then what they have to do is naturally to really move their lifeline.
And where the industrial lifeblood of the two of them lies, the most important thing is that the forces of the two families have worked hard to grab the minerals that they can finally grab in the eyes of the wolves, and they can still cover the heat.
The reason is very simple, not because these things can make them a lot of money, of course, the volume is the mainstay, and these minerals with a monopoly nature can indeed bring great benefits, but after all, there is still a Tang Dynasty court pressing on it, and it will not let them make huge profits wantonly.
What they really care about is the influence brought by these minerals, which is where a powerful family like theirs really depends.
This truth is actually very easy to understand, if you are engaged in industry, especially this kind of mining industry, which involves a lot of money, there are thousands of workers serving such a mineral deposit, and there are thousands of families behind it, and this mineral deposit is closely related.
And these minerals produced are inextricably linked with more families, so the huge influence generated by this must be a force enough to determine certain decisions, at least to determine the rise and fall of a state and a place, and to control the rise and fall of local parents.
On the other hand, those who engage in foreign trade only do the business of buying low and selling high, often dozens or hundreds of people, they can start a small business group, even if they are all gone, how many people are involved, it is nothing more than those guys with related interests.
Besides, this kind of trade is fine if it is less for a while, but it is not possible to have such a thing as minerals, which can be said to be related to the national economy and people's livelihood.
So even if the actual profits made by the two things are similar, the meaning behind this is also very different.
It can even be said that whether there is such an industry at hand can be directly used as an important basis for judging whether it is really at the top of the pyramid of Datang, which is a very small number of top elites. Of course, it's okay to look at it the other way around, not a figure who has reached the peak of power, and he definitely can't keep this kind of sweetness in everyone's eyes.
However, such a place is not small in size, and people have to guard it strictly, and the manpower arranged is not a small army, and it has to be an elite team in the entire Tang Dynasty.
These guys are all people who have invested countless manpower and material resources, piled up with gold and silver, selected the best soldiers, done the most ruthless training, equipped with the strongest equipment, played the most beautiful girls, in short, everything is according to the highest standards.
This means that the world of Datang is relatively peaceful, and if something really happens, the manpower on these mines can be used as the capital for them to start.
No matter from which point of view, such a place is obviously where the confidence and confidence of the big family lies, and they never thought that one day, in such a peaceful era, their lifeblood would suddenly be ruined by others, and it would be ruined like that!
"What do you say?! Carboniferous mine exploded? And then collapsed? "In the Dou family and the eldest grandson Wuji's house, there were angry roars.
"Why did it explode? Yes? Why? You tell me why? "The heads of both families are asking similar questions.
Although there have been such accidents in the past, and there have even been accidents one after another, but under the lesson of blood, they quickly understood what to do in order to ensure the necessary safety.
Even if there are more miners, and they don't care much about the safety of those miners, they do care about the output of their own coal mines. Especially when the caravan waiting to pull the charcoal squatted in line at the gate of their own charcoal factory every day.
People can die, but they can't affect the speed at which the coal can be excavated, so they have adopted a safer approach and reduce the time spent dealing with the collapsed mines.
As a result, just as they were about to celebrate the second anniversary of their continuous safe operation of their mine, the steward came to tell them that their mine had exploded and collapsed. If it weren't for the fact that there was something to ask, the two family heads who were already on the verge of breaking out would have properly smashed the hateful fat face in front of them.
"It looks like those damn black legs didn't follow the rules of the mine and went to the mine without permission." On the other side, the steward who was greedy for money from the mine struggled to move his mountain-like body and said intermittently. Because they were so scared, they couldn't help but tremble, driving the fat on their bodies, and they all beat with it.
"So how big are our losses?" The eyes of the head of the family turned blood-red, and his voice calmed down, but there was no trace of his popularity, and he seemed to have no emotion.
"The elite guards on the mine suffered nearly 500 casualties, because the entire mine area collapsed, most of the guards were buried in the ground, and many were killed. It will take at least half a year for the mine to return to its original production. ”
When he heard the number of dead and wounded, the eldest grandson Wuji tightly covered his chest, if he hadn't helped the desk next to him, he might have fallen straight to the ground with some dizziness.
In the end, he couldn't help but be furious, but he still picked up the inkstone on the table regardless of it, and slapped it hard at the head of the fat supervisor who didn't even dare to dodge, until the inkstone was only left in his hand, and his anger was almost vented, and he recovered from the hysteria.
"Come on, drag this fat pig out and feed it to the dogs." The eldest grandson Wuji lightly decided the fate of the steward. And the fate of the Dou family is not much better than this.
"The Shi family's revenge? It seems that he still underestimates this family, but I don't know if there is a Cheng family behind it? Or higher? ”
Unlike this steward, the eldest grandson Wuji didn't believe that it would be an accident from the beginning. How can there be such a coincidence, I just made a move against others here, and my own industry over there suffered misfortunes one after another, and I had to catch up with the Dou family, who also made a move.
Even the explosion of the carboniferous mine was chosen on the same day, could it be that the mine itself couldn't see it, and decided to die to show us that it couldn't be, what a.
"We can't go on like this, this should be over!" The eldest grandson Wuji said with some helpless hatred.
And the Shi family immediately told them with actions that this matter was not over. Since it has begun, of course, there is no reason to give up halfway, only if you really hurt the opponent and hit him until he doesn't dare to look at you even if he looks at you more, can it be regarded as a real effect.
In addition to actually killing the opponent, a good way to make the opponent stop is undoubtedly to fight until the opponent is scared.
Fortunately, it's not winter, so the price of charcoal has not risen much, and there are a few top martial artists who are also doing this charcoal business, and there will be some excess production in spring and summer, which will just be enough to meet the needs of ordinary people's daily life.
What really followed the sound was the prestige of the Dou family and the eldest grandson Wuji, and some of the dead opponents who were originally suppressed by them took this opportunity to dare to come out and jump, and even had the meaning of connecting together. If it weren't for the fact that the two families had been unlucky recently, these people wouldn't have dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head, so they would have honestly found a place to squat up, waiting for an opportunity to give them some color again.
These two can only helplessly turn into firefighters, see the sky everywhere to put out fires, today this industry suffers a little loss, tomorrow that shop suffers a little difficulty, busy and happy. (To be continued.) )
