Chapter 805: Undercurrent

"Damn it!"

"The merchants of Zhibei County should all be damned!"

"They're breaking the rules!"

The surrounding merchants gritted their teeth with hatred for Zhibei County's almost barbaric plundering behavior by virtue of machinery. I can't wait to kill all these wandering merchants...

But there's nothing they can do about it.

The combat effectiveness of the soldiers of Zhibei County has been tested by blood and fire.

It is precisely for this reason that no matter how much they hate in their hearts, they dare not do that act of hitting a stone with an egg.

North County Governor's House

Governor Huo Feiran was high up, and Chen Ping, who was holding a long knife in his hand, stood behind him, his eyes looked around like lightning, but whenever there was the slightest wind and grass, he would not hesitate to kill with a knife.

"Your Excellency!"

"You can't let the people of Zhibei County make such a fuss!"

"They are trying to destroy the foundation of my northern county, there is no agriculture, no stability, no business, no wealth... ”

Li Donglai stood up and said with an earnest face.

"yes!"

"Lord Governor!"

"You must come forward in this matter, let the people of Zhibei County make such a fuss, and I will have to close the door for the rest of my small camp!"

When the other businessmen saw Li Donglai come forward, they all stood up, and said in a sad voice:

"Our losses are small, but shaking the country is big!"

"You're exaggerating... ”

When Chen Ping heard everyone's words, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, sneered, and said disdainfully.

"Shake the country, hehe... ”

The businessmen were sneered at by Chen Ping, and their faces couldn't help but change slightly.

But businessmen are inferior in the status of the great cadres, not to mention, in the face of generals like Chen Ping, who have heavy troops, even if they have more dissatisfaction in their hearts, they dare not vent.

Dare to be angry but dare not speak...

"That's it!"

Huo Feiran, who closed his eyes and recuperated, coughed lightly, and also separated the two who were tense.

"Zhibei County's affairs, this official has also heard a lot!"

"In just the end of the month, dozens of shops in North County have closed down, and in the long run, I'm afraid that North County Business will really be in an embarrassment!"

"Your Excellency is wise!"

Seeing that Huo Feiran realized the seriousness of the matter, the eyes of the merchants couldn't help but show a hint of joy.

"What do you want the official to do?"

Huo Feiran bowed his head lightly and asked expressionlessly.

"My lord, this is the excerpt I was waiting for!"

Li Donglai hurriedly stepped forward, took out a fold from his sleeve, and said with a smile.

"This excerpt is summed up after my daily meditation, as long as it is carried out according to this, it will definitely be able to be contained... ”

"Oh!"

Huo Feiran didn't expect that Li Donglai was so well prepared, and he couldn't help but glance at him.

However, he also knows that some things can't just be listened to, after all, Situ Xing is his political ally. It is precisely because of the existence of Situ that he has been surviving for a long time and has not been uprooted by King Chengjun.

So he didn't immediately take a stand, but looked at it.

。。。。

"Dong Weng, I didn't expect Governor Huo Feiran to be short-sighted!"

"Scruples about this, scruples about that, timidity, without the slightest courage!"

"In the long run, Beijun will definitely be destroyed in their hands!"

Liu Zizheng thought of what happened to him in the Governor's Mansion today, and couldn't help but sigh with embarrassment.

"Hey!"

Li Donglai was also full of helplessness, and couldn't help sighing heavily.

"Since the pre-Qin period, the status of my business has become more and more lowly!"

"When it comes to Daqian, it is even more humble to the extreme, and it is the same as a prostitute. . . ”

"If there is a spirit in the ground of the merchant ancestor, I am afraid he will also cry bitterly. ”

"Humph!"

Thinking of the status of the businessman, Liu Zizheng was also sad.

But this is a problem at the national level, and it is not something that their little businessmen can change.

This time the performance is particularly prominent.

Whether it is the high-ranking king of Chengjun or the officials who are shepherding and guarding the side, they are not willing to offend easily...

And most importantly, businessmen have always been regarded as lowly jobs.

Situ attaches great importance to the affairs of agriculture and business, and has been criticized many times, and some people have made a big fuss about it...

If it weren't for Situ Xing's special status, I am afraid that he would have been removed from his reputation by Confucianism long ago.

It is precisely because of this that local officials are deeply wary and do not want to get too close to the merchants.

Of course, the main one is the limitations of the times.

They are not aware of the power of the rise of commerce and industry ...

By the time they react, I'm afraid it's already too late.

"Dong Weng!"

"What can I do!"

"What can I do about it!"

"No!"

"We still have a way out!"

Li Donglai's eyes couldn't help but froze, and he subconsciously glanced around, and after seeing that no one was paying attention, he lowered his voice and said.

"Dong Weng means ... ”

Liu Zizheng seemed to think of it, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he asked with some hesitation and some uncertainty.

"Defect to Zhibei County!"

"We are businessmen, and it is the norm to go for profit... ”

"Since the matter of Zhibei County can no longer be stopped, then why should we sink Beijun together. ”

"Let's go to Zhibei County and start over, believing that with our financial resources and connections, we will soon be able to make a comeback!"

Li Donglai's face was serious, and he said with some longing.

"At that time, our strength will not only not be damaged, but will be greatly increased!"

"This... ”

"It's not an option. ”

"However, there are four major families in Zhibei County, and if they are xenophobic, it will be difficult for us to wait... ”

Liu Zizheng's eyes couldn't help but light up, but they soon became dim again.

"Don't worry, although we have never met, we are not a simple person!"

"Moreover, I think his ruling has a lot of pre-Qin shadows!"

"The status of merchants in Zhibei County is also very high. ”

"I'll wait for me to take refuge, and he won't stop me. ”

"As for the xenophobia in Zhibei County, you don't have to worry, the Lu family is the predecessor of my business. ”

"With him to take care of him and guarantee it, it will be fine!"

Li Donglai said confidently.

"Good!"

"It's done!"

"Instead of waiting here to die, it's better to fight to the death!"

Liu Zizheng's face showed a tangled look, as if he was caught in a battle between heaven and man, and after a while, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he said through gritted teeth.

"Good!"

Seeing that Liu Zizheng had made up his mind, Li Donglai's figure couldn't help but loosen.

The heads of the two were leaning together, whispering about the steps of evacuation, and under the influence of these two people, the merchants of North County began to slowly evacuate.

In the end, an undercurrent was formed...

Because of the secrecy they did, King Chengjun and the others didn't even notice it in the slightest.

In other words, even if they have some clues, they don't pay the slightest attention.

After all, in their opinion, businessmen value profit over separation, they are all a group of white-eyed wolves who can't be raised, and it's good that they're all gone!

In this way, Beijun is the world of the imperial merchants.
