Three years is not a long time, but it is not a short time, and for the shadow guards who have been developing, the three years are really a flick of a finger, fleeting. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the past three years, Qian Cheng has not gone out of the valley a lot, every time he goes out under a pseudonym, he teaches three religions and nine streams, and he pays everything. Of course, it costs a lot of money to make friends, and every time he pays someone to do this wrong, so, naturally, there are many friends who drink and meat, although it is a little difficult to ask them to give Qian Cheng their lives, but it is still good to get some news, regardless of whether it is true or false, anyway, as long as there is a little rumor, there is nothing that Qian Cheng can't get the fastest now.

Information largely determines the level of a strategist, and many people who read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms will be amazed by Guo Jia's divine calculations, but that is based on the fact that Cao Cao gave him a lot of information to let him know the temperament of the Yuan brothers and Gongsun Kang. As for Sun Ce, anyway, Qian Cheng feels that no one can reach that point, maybe Xu Gong's doorman was sent by him Guo Jia, at least, he also got the help of Cao Jun, otherwise, how could it be so coincidental.

Qian Cheng's first goal in suggesting that Yang Ying establish the Shadow Guard was to be able to get the most comprehensive information, so when the Shadow Guard was actually established, it was formed as an intelligence organization, as for why do you need so many Yang Ying's personal guards to take on the role? This intelligence organization is much more demanding than ordinary soldiers, not to mention the rest, the most important thing is loyalty, when someone is caught, the dead soldier who dares to commit suicide in order to protect the intelligence is a really good intelligence officer. Of course, at present, this group of people still can't meet this requirement, so in the past three years, Qian Cheng has been taking in orphans and dead soldiers, and only by cultivating them from a young age can they be effective.

Maybe it's cruel to say, raising the dead is actually instilling in people from an early age the idea of doing things for their masters, and they would rather die than betray their masters, so this is actually not a human life, more often than not, it is like building a tool. This kind of thing doesn't have to involve any benevolence or injustice, in this era of cannibalism, it is not easy for everyone to survive, if there is no Qian Cheng's take-in, they may have starved to death into a pile of white bones, and finally turned into dust and drifted away with the wind.

At present, the life of the shadow guard is not bad, although this valley is remote, but after Qian Cheng's 'guidance', uh, well, said to be a guide, in fact, it is just his shameless boasting, his role is to tell his subordinates that the tung tree can refine tung oil, and then start to be the shopkeeper.

This tung oil is very useful, tung oil is a very good lamp oil, with tung oil, for night lighting has a very good effect, secondly, this tung oil can be used as a coating for furniture, and, if it is a reasonable formula, the catalpa oil, washing oil in proportion, boiled into a new oil "Hong oil". However, it is a pity that Qian Cheng only traveled to Hongjiang Ancient Mall in his previous life, and he didn't know the proportion of this formula at all, so he could only experiment slowly, and so far, he still hasn't made it.

Even so, the windfall profits and benefits brought by this tung oil still make Qian Cheng feel very happy, this tung oil has been widely recognized as soon as it is listed, the demand is amazing, as long as it is refined, it can be immediately acquired by those businessmen who pursue profits, sure enough, the market seller who has a shortage of supply is grandpa, and those businessmen who were angry before have to beg for themselves, and they have to look at their own faces.

Of course, in Qian Cheng's view, making a fortune quietly is the king, but how can this kind of monopoly industry last? The refining method of tung oil is not difficult, as long as you find a certain proportion to be manufactured, there are many people selling tung oil on the market today, but the market demand for tung oil is huge, so it does not affect the shadow guard, after all, it has made a lot of money in the early stage.

Moreover, because of such a good market, Shadow Guard now has a part-time job, caravan bodyguard, although Shadow Guard is not very good at intelligence, but their combat power is good, after all, they are all rolled over in the real corpse mountain and sea of blood. Because of this, from the beginning of escorting tung oil to get rid of so many bandits, the shadow guard naturally has some fame in the rivers and lakes, and the average bandit will have some scruples when he sees the flag of the shadow guard now. In addition, the shadow guard is not completely brutal, the rules of the rivers and lakes are still abided, and the toll fee that should be given is also a lot, so naturally few people are willing to die on this hard bone.

It is also because of this fame that the people who came later were naturally not limited to escorting tung oil, and there were more and more merchants who came for the safety of the caravan, but there were only a few hundred people in the shadow guard, so it was naturally impossible for them all to go out, and they only accepted large orders, and the freight naturally rose to a staggering point, and small merchants could not afford this price.

In this era, the status of businessmen is low, if a person accidentally provokes someone who should not be provoked, it is normal for someone to be killed and stolen, so of course it needs to be safeguarded. Generally speaking, those businessmen with some strength are looking for some connections to join some big clans, but this big clan also has his own exquisiteness, and there are always some big merchants who are considered by them to be bad in character, and they are despised and accepted by this group of pretentious big families. And this group of people is Qian Cheng's main source of finance at present.

In fact, those merchants who are attached to these big clans are not necessarily good people, otherwise the price of grain in Jingnan today would not be so high, and this group of bed bugs, even if the grain is moldy and rotten in the warehouse, they are not willing to sell it at a low price. However, these people have done enough superficial work, funding a academy of this family today, and pretending to build a porridge shack tomorrow, which will make these so-called big clans think that they are so-called 'righteous merchants'.

Of course, the butt determines the head, and Qian Cheng's view is also biased, there must still be some real righteous businessmen, but they don't dare to sell grain at a low price at the risk of the world's disapproval, which is tantamount to offending all the big merchants in Jingnan, isn't that self-defeating? So, all they can do is to get a few more porridge sheds.

The grain brought by the king of Chu this time can definitely alleviate the unsightly change in the price of grain, but this government is not a good thing, and most of the grain and grass for disaster relief are sold to this group of merchants at a high price, and they are taking a small part of the grain filled in the soil to open porridge for disaster relief, and these officials have all made enough money and water, so the grain price in Jingnan is still only rising and not falling.

It is also because of this that the displaced people of Jingnan began to make trouble again after the army of the King of Chu returned to Xiangyang, but compared to the previous Red Eyebrow Army, it was just a drizzle, and this group of officials could handle it themselves, so naturally they would not alarm the King of Chu.
