Mu Tong glanced at Xia Zhuangzhuang, now Xia Zhuangzhuang is the city lord of Xia Yuan, although he thinks that the city lord of Xia is still young, but for the sake of Liu Zhibang's face, he still replied politely: "City Lord Xia, our Hengchang Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in the Divine Apocalypse Continent, and all branches are all over the big cities of all countries, although it is mainly based on the Qingyun Empire, but the Jinguang Empire also has a lot of business, ten years ago, I served as a semicolon shopkeeper in the Jinguang Empire, and I still know a little about it, Xia City Lord asked me what happened?" ”

Xia Zhuangzhuang nodded, and said: "My lord wants to establish a company and open up a market to the Golden Light Empire, what good suggestions does Shopkeeper Mu have?" ”

Mu Tong asked, "Company? What is Company? ”

Xia Zhuangzhuang explained: "It is another name for the Chamber of Commerce......

Mu Tong turned his head to Liu Zhibang and said, "Oh...... Patriarch Liu, do you think it's not cost-effective to do business with my Hengchang Chamber of Commerce, and you want to grab business with the Hengchang Chamber of Commerce......"

Liu Zhibang added some tea to Mu Tong, and continued: "I have a proposal, our newly established company wants to invite the Hengchang Chamber of Commerce to invest in the shares, my Han nationality accounts for 51 percent, your Hengchang Chamber of Commerce accounts for 49 percent, I produce products, you sell the way, everyone makes some money, how about it?" ”

Mu Tong was stunned for a while, his head was thinking repeatedly, and after a while, he said: "This matter is serious, I have to report to the headquarters, and I can't answer ......you for the time being."

Liu Zhibang asked, "Is a month enough?" ”

"Enough!" Mu Tong nodded and replied.

Liu Zhibang smiled and said: "Okay, I'll give you a month, don't wait for the expiration, there should be more than one person who wants to cooperate with me, I heard that the Moon Chamber of Commerce, the Fuquan Chamber of Commerce, and the Zhishan Chamber of Commerce are all very powerful......"

Mu Tong said anxiously: "Patriarch Liu, Brother Liu, those chambers of commerce are all unpopular, they don't have the strength to say it, and their reputation is not good, twenty-eight days, no, if you give me twenty-five days, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!" ”

Ten days later, the granary of the city lord's mansion was filled with grain again, and those big households had not sold the blank paper in exchange for their hands, and a new notice was posted at the gate of the city, and a policy that made the landlords and large families extremely dissatisfied was introduced - the "abolition law", Xia Zhuangzhuang ordered in the name of the city lord that all people in the jurisdiction were not allowed to keep slaves, and if there were slave holders, they should immediately register with the city lord's house and release the slaves, and each slave released could be compensated with a gold coin, and if it was reported or found that the concealment was not reported, the slave owner would be raided, and all property would be confiscated. The whistleblower will receive half of the slave owner's property. If the slave owner needs labor, he can hire labor from the city lord's office, and all slaves are registered and managed by the city lord's office, and the city lord's office arranges the work and life of the freed slaves.

In a certain high-rise mansion compound in Xia Yuan City, a rich people's gathering is in full swing.

"It's too insidious, first exchange the food in our hands, and now come to rob our slaves, no, we can't let them go on like this......"

"Yes, it's clear that they want to rob us of our money, this Liu Zhibang and Xia Zhuangzhuang are darker than Li Jun and Lu Yang......"

"Xu Yuanwai, you can say something, Xia Yuancheng is the richest in you, and you have the most slaves, are you willing to let Liu Zhibang and them snatch your slaves?"

Xu Yuanwai is fifty-seven or eighteen years old, his face is white and beardless, and he is pampered and well-maintained on weekdays, probably because he thinks too much, there are deep Sichuan wrinkles between his eyebrows, and a pair of light blue eyes are always half-squinted, which seems a little unenergetic, but when he opens his eyes, there is a cold light that makes people dare not get close.

Xu Yuanwai cleared his throat and said: "Don't panic, everyone, although Liu Zhibang defeated Lu Yang and occupied Xia Yuan City, it was only a temporary success, I have contacted Lord Dao Yanzhixin, the lord of Wumang County, and he said that he would not come to the city to recover Xia Yuan City." Let's send the slaves to the City Lord's Mansion first, and collect nothing, so as to make a good impression on Liu Zhibang and Xia Zhuangzhuang. When Lord Daoyan recovered Xia Yuan City, Lord Daoyan promised us that we could take back the slaves in full, you see, this is Lord Daoyan's handwritten letter...... "After that, Xu Yuanwai took out a piece of silk with words written on it.

Boss Wang interjected: "This ...... If that's the case, it's nothing, but what if Lord Daoyan doesn't return the slaves to us by then? ”

Xu Yuanwai glanced at Boss Wang, and said confidently: "If you believe me, you will do as I say, if you don't believe it, then you can do it yourself......"

The rich people discussed it, they all shook their heads and left, and finally left Boss Wang and Boss Hua, after Boss Hua saw that everyone else was gone, he said to Xu Yuanwai: "Xu Yuanwai, everyone knows that you are wealthy, and you are a retired official of the empire, and there are many friends in the imperial officialdom, you will not only have the road of Daoyan weaving letters!" ”

Boss Wang also said on the side: "Yes, Xu Yuanwai, you are not only close to many officials in the capital, I heard that you also have contacts with the Jinguang Empire......

Xu Yuanwai suddenly glared at Boss Wang with wide eyes, Boss Wang shrank in fright, Xu Yuanwai's eyes only flashed, and then he half-squinted his eyes again and said: "Can't you go outside to say this, people will think that I, Xu Shizhong, am suspected of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country...... Both of them are the biggest local rich people in Xia Yuancheng, and their financial strength and influence are second to none in Xia Yuancheng, are they really willing to be bullied and obedient? ”

Boss Hua sighed and said: "Xu Yuanwai, we are just small landlords and businessmen, and whoever is the city lord of Xia Yuan is not the same, what can we do if we are not obedient?" ”

Boss Wang's eyes rolled, and he approached Xu Yuanwai and said softly: "Xu Yuanwai, you seem to have something in your words just now, can you say it clearly, we are not as knowledgeable as you, I didn't understand what you just meant......

"Yes, Xu Yuanwai, we listen to you in everything, do you still have anything to believe us?" Boss Hua also chimed in.

Xu Yuanwai looked at the two of them and continued: "In today's troubled times, all parties have risen up and established themselves as kings, and the Qingguo Empire is rotten and has no power to clean up. This Liu Zhibang can easily defeat tens of thousands of troops in Luyang with thousands of people in the mountains, and occupy the key places in Xia Yuancheng, which of us is worse than him, we want people, we have more than him, and we need money, let alone us. I'm not afraid to tell the two brothers, I've already contacted that side, as long as we work together inside and outside, open Hukou Pass, as soon as the army of the Jinguang Empire arrives, this Xia Yuan City will be our world, General Song of the Golden Light Empire has promised that as long as the Hukou Pass is opened, Xia Yuan City will be ruled by us......"

"This ......"

Boss Wang and Boss Hua looked at each other, and Boss Wang continued: "Xu Yuanwai, this trick is too risky, if it succeeds, it is good, if it is not successful, then it will ......."

Xu Yuanwai looked at the two of them, squinted his eyes and said: "Wealth and danger are sought, the two of you give a happy word, do it or not?" ”

Boss Wang made eye contact with Boss Hua again, and both nodded silently.

"Dry ......"
