"The importance of the World Merchants Conference held in Shouzhou on June 5, the ninth year of Baoda is self-evident. At the beginning, it was depicted by people with a heart as a 'small ** meeting chasing fishy profits', but the more later, the more far-reaching the impact of this conference, from the economy, to the military, to politics, to the people's livelihood, from the Tang Dynasty to the whole world, the new changes in all aspects, if you trace it, the source will point to this conference.

However, in the eyes of the Shouzhou people at that time, this conference only brought them all kinds of novelty and excitement, and it was not as attractive as the race around the city that day! ”

——Excerpt from "The Book of the Southern Tang Dynasty? Lin Feng's Memorabilia "The excitement and novelty seem to be suddenly displayed in front of the people of Shouzhou:

Since June 2, a steady stream of merchant ships have been arriving at the wharves in the north of the city, which are of different sizes and styles, but basically all have the same characteristic: sophistication and luxury.

The ships arrived not only with big merchants from all over the world who spoke various dialects, but also with all kinds of goods from all over the world.

Lin Feng had already prepared for this situation, and had already instructed Lu Jiang to level out dozens of acres of area outside the moat at the north gate of Shouzhou City, which was called "World Goods Expo", which quickly made this place a place for the people of the city to call their relatives and go shopping.

At the same time, all kinds of carriages from the west, south, and east arrived one after another, and the merchants who flocked to the city quickly occupied the large and small inns in Shouzhou City.

When Lu Jiang came to tell Lin Feng that some merchants could not find a place to stay, Lin Feng immediately mobilized all the officials of the Assassin's Mansion to contribute their own mansions to temporarily receive guests. Later, Lin Feng simply vacated all the office space in the front of the Thorn Mansion and temporarily used it as a residence, anyway, it was summer, and the accommodation was a good thing to pass.

At this time, on the one hand, Lin Feng had to deal with trivial matters about the merchant conference, and on the other hand, he had to keep receiving merchant teams from Jinling, Chudi, Qingyuan, Fuzhou, and even Wenzhou.

Of course, Lin Feng, who is very busy, has a lot of "extra benefits", and every merchant will have a gift list. At this time, Lin Feng reversed his previous resistance and did not refuse to come like a miser, and accepted all the orders.

However, these merchants often come with excitement on their faces, and then go back with a stomach full of doubts, for the specific agenda and content of the merchant conference, Lin Feng did not spit out a word, and gave them a sentence: "Everything will be known until June 5th!" ”

The merchants' curiosity was the greatest, and the more they could not inquire, the more they wanted to know about the road, and they desperately inquired about all kinds of news in the city, only to learn that there would be a race around the city on June 5, and all the merchants were required to gather outside the north city gate on June 5. In the **** evening, another news came out that a very small number of people were invited by Lin Feng to the Assassin's Mansion for a banquet.

There were only six people invited into the mansion, Huang Zongwang, the richest man in Chu from Tanzhou, Fang Hongxing, the head of the overseas Fang family from Jinling, Shi Zhi of Islam, Manichaean Mohui from Quanzhou, Pei Songlin, the head of the Pei family for overseas trade, and Kang Zhonghai, the head of the Kang family.

However, when the six "lucky ones" in everyone's eyes walked out of the Assassin's Mansion after the most reluctant, the businessmen who rushed to find out the news had to be disappointed, Lin Feng only had a small gathering with them to catch up, and did not mention the content of the conference that was about to start the next day.

On June 5th, the sky was bright and clear as soon as the sun came out of the horizon.

But outside the north gate of Shouzhou City, everyone's minds were all attracted by the upcoming race around the city, and no one cared about the sun that was shining brightly.

On the west side of the city gate, a large wooden platform was temporarily erected with its back to the north and facing south, and on the north side of the wooden square were layers of high wooden shelves, and those wealthy merchants were led to the wooden shelves and sat at will.

At this time, there was nothing on the platform except for a huge war drum and two large shelves covered with a large red cloth and guarded by soldiers. Under the stage, two rows of Shouzhou soldiers stood on a human wall, isolating the nearly 1,000 players participating in the competition from the countless crowds watching the excitement.

At three o'clock, Lin Feng led all the family members in the house to appear at the north gate, Lin Feng, who was dressed in simple clothes, took the lead, and Zhou Ehuang, Xiao Fei'er, Duan Feihong, Yaya, and Ling Feifei followed closely behind, which immediately caused an uproar.

Lin Feng smiled all the way, and walked to the wooden platform under the guidance of several special soldiers, first politely arranged the beauties, and waved to the rich businessmen, before walking to the front of the wooden platform and raising his hands: "Folks in Shouzhou, hello everyone!" Lin Feng is polite! ”

"Hello Lord Lin!"

"Xie Lu Xie Lin!"

……

The response below was like a tsunami, especially the men, women and children who participated in the competition, all shouting desperately, by the way, to ease their tension.

Lin Feng waited quietly for the cheers to stop for a while, and then raised his voice and said, "A wise man once asked me, what is happiness? At that time, I was still young, and casually replied that it was love, wealth, and fame, but Homo sapiens shook his head and told me loudly that happiness is good health! ”

Happiness is good health?! At this moment, not only the rich businessmen on the stage were puzzled, but the people in the audience all talked in low voices. In the crowd, only a few old people seemed to nod in agreement.

"The wise man told me that the body is the boat of wisdom, the foundation of affection, and the 'one' before the huge data, and without this 'one', all feelings, money, and fame are meaningless zero! Lin sincerely wishes everyone present to be healthy and healthy forever, so let's start running to health from this city race! Lin Feng waved his arms and shouted, bewitching the people at the scene with the health concept of the future.

After shouting, taking advantage of the silence of the scene, Lin Feng walked to the back of the wooden platform and warmly invited everyone to run with him. At this moment, basically all the rich businessmen have a bitter face, and there are basically few people who can enjoy the world with normal body shapes!

Lin Feng smiled, waved his hand to several beauties in his house, turned around and walked off the stage, walked to the temporary starting line, and waved his hand to the stage. The two special fighters immediately picked up the arm-thick drumsticks and beat the drum with all their strength.

"Tom-tom-tom-"

The thunderous drum sounded like a sound, detonating the cheers and cheers of the crowd next to them, and also ignited the excitement of the wealthy businessmen.

Lin Feng smiled and nodded to the few young people beside him, pointed to the big drum on the platform, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, let's run together!" ”

Several young people nodded excitedly.

The drumming suddenly stopped, and Lin Feng shouted, "Rush! The first to cross the starting line, the young men also shouted and rushed forward, and all the runners opened their mouths and yelled, running across the starting line one by one.

The Tour of the City has finally begun! The cheers on both sides suddenly resounded in the sky, and many wealthy businessmen also stood up and roared loudly.

Lin Feng ran for three hundred meters, and immediately slowed down by holding his ribs with his hands, gradually letting go of the outer road, and finally stopped, bending over and caressing his ribs and gasping for air. Several soldiers who lined up as a wall hurriedly came out and helped Lin Feng back to the stage.

Although this small detail made many participants and spectators stunned, the long queue did not slow down and quickly ran to the west. Most of the wealthy businessmen had just discovered that Lin Feng was injured, and they quickly came up to inquire about his injuries.

Lin Feng explained with a wry smile: "A little trauma is not enough to worry about!" ”

After appeasing everyone, Lin Feng smiled and pointed to the audience and said, "The people's race just now is just a foreshadowing, and the team that really wants you to visit is here!" ”

All the wealthy businessmen turned around one after another, only to find that there were two more teams under the stage at this time.
