Chapter 209: Rising Prices
This sentence Yun Yin Zhenren is destined to have no way to refute it, how can the power of Lifeng's punch be able to resist at his level? plus the knife that pierced his chest, he was already dead.
Mu Changan got Lifeng back first, then put down Yunyin Zhenren and began to touch the corpse.
First of all, the information of Yunyin's real person came to mind.
'Yunyin Zhenren: The fourth-generation master of the Changqiu Gate, the guest of the Sun family in Xuzhou, the retreat of the Concentration Dual Realm, the fourth-order array mage, and the superior qualification. ’
The information is quite abundant, and the strength does have a dual realm of concentration, but what made Mu Changan pay more attention was the words 'Xuzhou Sunjiazao Guest'.
What kind of profession is this?
Is it now that the system is starting to provide some brief consultations?
Xuzhou Sun family.
During this time, he listened too much, and his relationship with the Sun family in Xuzhou was not very good.
"Actually sent someone to assassinate Young Master Ben, it seems that he has a grudge. Mu Changan tilted his head and thought about it, feeling that he was still too weak, otherwise why would this group of rabble always want to bully him three times and twice?
Beat!
Gotta convince them.
Continuing to touch the corpse, the red peach wood sword in Yun Yinzhen's hand was picked up by Mu Changan.
'Rainbow Cloud Sword: Four products, it has the effect of absorbing spiritual power and turning it into one's own body. ’
It's good, although he doesn't use a sword, he can keep it and give it away.
How about the super-fierce cerebellar axe?
I heard that she was about to celebrate her birthday, so I just gave it to her as a gift.
Well, that's a good fit.
When he put away the Hongyun Sword, Mu Changan picked up the storage bag on Yunyin Zhenren's body again, broke through the remaining spiritual power on it and went in to take a look, and found that there were still a lot of spirit stones inside, about four or five hundred thousand. In addition to the spirit stone, there are very few other good things, a few four-grade martial arts, spiritual weapons or something.
Put it away, take it back and auction it, and you can sell it for tens of millions of spirit stones.
It felt ok.
Except for the storage bag, Yun Yin Zhenren had no good things on him, and he couldn't even find the strange secret method of controlling people's minds, which made Mu Changan a little regretful.
I always feel that that thing has a fight with the 'Dry Heart Secret Method', and it is faster, so people don't react in a hurry.
It's a pity that Yun Yin Zhenren has died, and it is impossible to ask about this secret method.
However, Mu Changan didn't care, summoned the puppy in the space ring, and instructed it: "Second dog, spit a breath of fire on him." ”
"Whew!" The little dog who was called the second dog by Mu Changan roared milkily, and then opened his mouth and directly spit out a mouthful of flames and sprayed at Yunyin Zhenren.
Soon, in this icy and snowy land, the corpse of Yun Yin's real person was burned to ashes.
......
Following.
Mu Changan summoned Su Qingbai, Zhang Mingyang, and Mengcheng for a brief meeting, and the theme of the meeting was to attack the Sun family in Xuzhou City.
"Young Master...... We don't need to develop for a while. Zhang Mingyang was the first to speak, he was a little opposed to Mu Chang'an's plan, because the forces of Xuzhou City are complex, and it is difficult to have any impact on it with the current strength of Yongle City, and it will be encircled and suppressed by all the forces of Xuzhou City, and the consequences can be imagined.
"Young master, when I went to Xuzhou in the past, I learned that Xuzhou was controlled by one city and four families, of which the city lord had been destroyed after the aura was exhausted, and the remaining four families were still in control of Xuzhou City in addition to the previous Li family, and the remaining three families still controlled Xuzhou City, and the three of them are now in Xuzhou City into a three-legged situation, not easy to mess with, not easy to mess with......" Su Qingbai also disagreed with Mu Chang'an's plan to send troops to attack Xuzhou City.
But Meng Cheng stood aside and did not speak.
"Smack!" Mu Changan slapped the table and said, "We are just fighting the Sun family, and we don't want to occupy the entire Xuzhou City, what are you doing with the other two families." Besides, even if the other two families are involved, is our Yongle City afraid of them!"
"Hehe, young master, don't be angry, aren't we discussing. We must take into account the worst possibility in order to put our side in an invincible position!" Zhang Mingyang hurriedly explained with a smile.
"Young Master Ben doesn't care, this Sun family must be destroyed, you hurry up and think of a way to send troops, and set off tomorrow!" Mu Changan doesn't know how to fight, but he is not afraid at all, it's just a matter of fighting the Sun family, it's a big deal to call Lifeng over and crush it directly. In the face of absolute strength, many conspiracies and tricks are actually useless.
What do you do with all those bells and whistles?
Of course, in fact, Mu Chang'an's idea is not only the Sun family, Yongle City has been developing for so long, and it is time to expand outward, while exploring the new map, while opening up the road to Qiu Chu Yuan, linking his base camp with Qiu Chu Yuan to form a super big force, so as to fit the plan.
Seeing that Mu Chang'an was determined to attack Xuzhou, the three of them did not persuade one by one, and began to think about how to use a better way to win this battle.
"Young master, my subordinates have a plan. Meng Cheng, who had not spoken, spoke first.
"You say. Mu Changan asked with some expectation.
Su Qingbai and Zhang Mingyang also looked at Mengcheng.
Meng Cheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Before, the young master asked his subordinates to secretly reveal the treatment of our Yongle City soldiers to the group of captives, and according to the soldiers below, the effect was remarkable. Now that that group of captives have returned to Xuzhou City, they will definitely spread the news, if we send people into Xuzhou City to publicize the treatment of our Yongle City, it will definitely make them grow a betrayal and shake their military morale, and at this time, if we attack Xuzhou again, won't we get twice the result with half the effort?"
"It's a good way!" Mu Changan's eyes lit up, according to the current background, the fight between the armies must be based on whether the two sides dare to work hard, that is, whether they dare to 'lose their skills'.
It's the spirit stone.
If you send people to Xuzhou City to publicize it, so that those soldiers can understand the benefits of joining Yongle City, then they will definitely not be willing to use all their strength on the battlefield, and maybe they will deliberately choose to be captured, so as to defect and join Yongle City.
In this way, no matter how many troops the other side has, no matter how strong the strength is, it will not help.
"General Meng's method is really good, his subordinates have heard a merchant from Xuzhou City say that he met a soldier from Xuzhou City before, and he once complained that he had not received the monthly salary for three months, and the soldiers were miserable, if we can spread the treatment of Yongle City, and support the soldiers to join Yongle City, it must be easy to win this battle at that time. Su Qingbai also agreed on the side.
"Okay! That's it, immediately send people into Xuzhou City to publicize that our Yongle City recruits soldiers, the treatment is good, and there is a high year-end bonus......" Mu Changan waved his hand and gave an order.
"Yes!" the three of them replied in unison.
......
Xuzhou City.
It is the largest city within a radius of thousands of miles, with a population of millions and a constant stream of merchants before the aura is exhausted.
Now that the aura has been exhausted for five years, the population of Xuzhou City, which has barely survived three wars, is less than 100,000, and the area is less than one-tenth of what it used to be.
As for the renovation, it is even more impossible, so the current city of Xuzhou has been reduced to a city with a population of less than 100,000 and an area of less than one-tenth of its peak.
But Rao is so, Xuzhou City is also much smaller than Yongle City.
And less than 100,000 people gather in this place, which is still a lot for the senses.
However, the quality of life is not so good, Xuzhou City is now controlled by the three major forces, respectively, a region, forming a three-legged trend, so that a city is divided into three small cities, and also divided the boundary, residents can not wander around the three areas at will, are strictly controlled, unauthorized entry into other areas need to pay a certain amount of spirit stone as a poll tax, the people living in Xuzhou City are miserable.
The area south of the city, which is an area under the jurisdiction of the Sun family.
Inside a tavern, three soldiers passing by on patrol looked up at the tavern's sign and walked in.
"Old man Zhang, come to a pound of 'frost and dew white'. One of the soldiers at the head took out a storage bag from his chest, and it took a while to pour out five spirit stones, and put one on the table.
Old man Zhang is the shopkeeper in the tavern, and by the way, he is also a part-time junior, and when he saw that the soldier only put one spirit stone, he smiled bitterly and said: "Master Jun, I'm really sorry, since yesterday, the price of this 'frost dew white' has increased, two spirit stones a catty." ”
"Two! Why did it rise so much?" The three soldiers were taken aback, in the past, 'Frost Dew White' was a pound of spirit stones, but they never thought that now they would actually want two pieces of one pound, which is equivalent to two spirit stones that could be bought for two pounds in the past, but now they can only buy one pound.
When Old Man Zhang heard this, he sighed deeply and said, "Now there are fewer and fewer spirit grasses to brew 'Frost Dew White', and the cost of our winemakers is gradually increasing, so there is no choice but to increase the price." ”
"Damn, I went to repair the armor yesterday, and the Han lady also raised the repair cost of a spirit stone, and today you have also increased the price here, and you ** businessmen are all raising prices, are you joining forces to raise prices?" A soldier was suddenly unhappy and asked angrily.
Old man Zhang didn't show a scared look, he still maintained a sad face, and sighed: "Master Jun, survival is difficult, please understand." ”
"Smack!" the soldier slapped on the table and shouted unwillingly: "I understand you, who will understand us!"
Another soldier also nodded and said, "That's it, you all raise prices, but our monthly income does not rise, who can understand us?"
The third soldier also felt the same way, and echoed: "Yes, forget about the monthly salary, it's been three months, and our people haven't even issued a spirit stone for the monthly salary, all of them are given rice grain to offset the number, there are no spirit stones this year, what's the use of asking for those rice grains?"
The three soldiers spoke, their faces covered in ashes.
Seeing this, Old Man Zhang also sighed for him, but it was absolutely impossible for him to lower the price, so he could only stand there silently and not speak.
"That's it, let's get a pound. The soldier at the head sighed, handed over another spirit stone, looked at the only three spirit stones left in his hand, shook his head, and looked like he had nothing to love.
Old man Zhang took the spirit stone, and then turned around and went to get a jar of wine, and the words 'frost and dew white' were written on the wine.
"Thank you. The leading soldier took the altar, thanked Old Man Zhang, and prepared to leave with his companions.
"Eh! The three military masters wait a minute. Old man Zhang suddenly called out to the three of them.
The three of them stopped and turned their heads to look at Old Man Zhang suspiciously.
Old man Zhang looked around and beckoned to the three of them.
The three of you, you look at me, I look at you, and finally walked back.
"Old man Zhang, is there anything else?"
Old man Zhang hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "The old man didn't want to tell you, but for the sake of you often coming to the tavern to buy wine, I will reveal good news to you." ”
"What's the good news?" the three of them asked curiously.
"Do you know that there is a Yongle City less than 500 miles away from our Xuzhou City, and a few days ago I heard a guest inadvertently mention that serving as a soldier in Yongle City earns as much as 600 spirit stones per month! ”
The three of them were a little confused, they were pushed into the street and were blown by the cold wind for a while before recovering, looked at each other, and then walked silently towards the barracks.
En route.
"Do you think what Old Man Zhang said is true?" asked one soldier in a low voice.
"I don't know, but I guess you wouldn't lie to us, would you?" replied another soldier uncertainly.
The last soldier hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Two days ago, I heard a soldier in the Tiger Roar Camp seem to say that they were captured in Yongle City before, and it is said that the soldiers there are indeed very well treated. ”
That said, nine times out of ten, it's true.
Six hundred spirit stones!
And it is paid in full every month, and it is never in arrears.
That's six times as much as they are now!
Heartbeat......
