There is a kind of person called powerful, and there is a kind of person called legend, which is destined to remain in the annals of history and some storybooks.

For Yunqin's large and small businesses, Chen Feirong, the female shopkeeper of Da Dexiang, is a legend.

All the people of Da Dexiang are naturally proud of this legend, and they naturally have great respect for Chen Feirong when they think that their name may continue to grow because of Da Dexiang's continued growth and remain in some stories of future generations.

However, Chen Feirong knew very well that it was the young man who was waiting for her in an inn behind Da Dexiang's shop.

......

Chen Feirong walked through Da Dexiang's soap paste shop and walked into the inn with only two entrances and two entrances.

This inn is very ordinary, with some old people who have no children in Dade Xiang Qixia Province, just like a nursing home, but the merchants and travelers of Qixia Province like to take care of their own people outside, so this inn is like a Qixia hometown hall, and the caravans and travelers of Qixia Province who pass through these market towns will choose this inn, and the business is not bad.

For Chen Feirong, such an inn means absolute privacy and security.

A business of this size like Da Dexiang, the court and even some competitor big businesses will naturally try to insert some people on the contrary, but the employees in this inn are all old people who have been born and raised in Qixia Province for sixty or seventy years, so it is naturally impossible to be placed in any manpower. Moreover, the court and competitors will not have any interest in an industry like Dadexiang.

Because after arriving in Bishui Province, these old people in Qixia Province are often taken by Xu Sheng to the farm to participate in some banquets, after Chen Feirong arrived in Bishui Province, these old people saw Chen Feirong more often than ordinary Da Dexiang employees, so when they saw Chen Feirong come in, these old people did not seem overly surprised and surprised.

It's just the same as Chen Feirong's last visit, an old man concentrated on helping her make tea, and an old woman cooked a few exquisite snacks that can only be eaten in Qixia Province.

After chatting with these old people about some household routines and carefully asking some questions about the old people's bodies and habits, Chen Feirong walked to the second floor of the backyard of the inn, knocked on the door and walked into a secluded room.

After slowly closing the door, Chen Feirong looked at the smiling young man, gave a deep salute, and smiled: "Long time no see." ”

"If you are well, it will be a sunny day. Lin Xi said with a smile: "When I used to read this sentence, I always felt that this sentence was very sour and rotten, but now I feel that this kind of sentence is very suitable for the mood when we meet again." ”

When he said this, he looked at Chen Feirong, who was more dignified and gorgeous, and felt that women were indeed creatures that did not belong to the same planet as men, and temperament seemed to be more obvious in women than men.

"Adults always like to talk nonsense that others don't understand. ”

Chen Feirong smiled, looked at the tall beauty and girl who returned the salute to herself, and pursed her lips: "Presumably this is Yanan, the daughter of the Zhou Shoufu family, when you were injured and left in a coma from Biluoling, you would call your name many times a day." ”

Gao Yanan's face suddenly turned crimson.

"Nangong Weiyang is actually so gossipy?" Lin Xi was shocked.

Just Chen Feirong's ridicule, this secluded room suddenly became alive and full of fireworks.

"What kind of new word is gossip, does it mean a lot of mouths?" Chen Feirong sat down and chuckled: "Nangong Weiyang doesn't say much, but I will ask more questions about the physical and mental conditions of adults, and she will answer them very seriously, so I know." ”

"Being too honest always makes people helpless, if she is a monk, she is an honest monk. Lin Xi shook his head helplessly, said this "nonsense" again, and then asked, "How is the recent business between her and Zhantai Qiantang?"

"It was much better than we expected. ”

Chen Feirong was a little more serious, looked at Lin Xi and Gao Yanan, and said softly: "Now that the Nanling Provincial War is in full swing, even some court workshops, some ores are tight, and some large folk workshops are beginning to have a shortage of raw materials, so the production value of the dragon and snake is higher, just because there is too much outflow from the black market, I am afraid that it will attract the attention of some powerful forces in the court, so they are still pressing." Recently, they have been building their own workshops, but some craftsmen are hard to find. ”

"I am not surprised that the talents of governing the country are used to do this, and it is really overkill, and how well it is done. Lin Xi laughed, "Since it is to support the army and respect itself, excellent armaments are necessary, with their ability, it is only a matter of time before there are powerful workshops to digest some of the backlogged goods." ”

Chen Feirong also laughed, "With the ability of Nangong Weiyang and Zhantai Qiantang, it is equivalent to having the support of the entire Great Wilderness Cave Barbarian, I am afraid that when the Liukou of Aojiao Mountain shows up in the future, it will be better equipped than Yun Qin's elite army." ”

"Now every investment made by Da Dexiang has a very good return, no business is a loss of money, Da Dexiang is not short of money, their money in that place has nowhere to go for the time being, regardless of the cost of piling up on themselves, armaments... We'll just have to wait and see. Lin Xi looked at Chen Feirong and said seriously: "You and Xu Sheng are here, and they are really doing a lot better than I imagined, when I came here last year, this was still equivalent to the frontier for exiled prisoners, but now these market towns have been established, and they have been lively to this extent." ”

"My lord, are you praising yourself?" Chen Feirong pursed her lips and smiled.

"From scratch, it will be faster to make some achievements, and the situation is constantly changing, no matter how shrewd the calculation, it is also necessary to bump into the general trend of others. Lin Xi's face became solemn, "I was originally worried that you wouldn't be able to cope with the Liu family, but now it seems that Da Dexiang may have a more serious crisis, one is not good, so many of our previous plans may be all lost, and Da Dexiang will be ruined in one fell swoop." ”

Chen Feirong's brows furrowed, and she said seriously: "What is so serious?"

Lin Xi glanced at Gao Yanan, Gao Yanan looked at Chen Feirong and said, "The Divine Elephant Army... The strongest army of Tang and Tibet, the Divine Elephant Army, appeared in the Prajna Corridor. According to the military situation, it was the people of the Jiang family who colluded with the Divine Elephant Army in order to seize a large number of armaments secretly hidden in Biluo Tomb. ”

"It's extremely serious. ”

Chen Feirong's brows furrowed even deeper, she knew that although Zhou Shoufu had gone into the wilderness, after so many years of Shoufu, the news she could know was probably faster than that of the vast majority of powerful people in Yun Qin. Now the entire center of gravity of Dadexiang and the cornerstone that crushes Su Youji and other businesses all come from the current war between Yunqin and Damang, and from the opportunity they have taken in Biluoling. The war between Yun Qin and Da Mang is deepening and intensifying, and it will definitely not end in the next autumn and winter, so as long as this autumn and winter, Da Dexiang is likely to take off again. In such a situation, if there is a big war in Biluoling, it is equivalent to burning down the entire granary of Dadexiang and the current foundation of Dadexiang, and the huge investment has no return, and Dadexiang may not even be able to turn over.

"Fortunately, most of our large amount of silver money is invested in Bishui Province, even if the war breaks out immediately, it will not burn to us so quickly. Lin Xi looked at Chen Feirong and said, "Zhou Shoufu doesn't believe that the Jiang family will collude with the Divine Elephant Army, but at present, all the evidence points to the Jiang family, and the Jiang family and the emperor have torn their faces because of the change in the Pranya corridor. The direction of the two provinces of Tianluo and Bishui is still unknown, at least we have to delay the development of some farms and other projects in the Tianluo Province for a while. ”

Chen Feirong nodded and muttered, "Since there is such news as the Divine Elephant Army, there is one thing that seems extremely suspicious. ”

Lin Xi asked softly, "What's the matter?"

"In addition to the military, the food and daily necessities of Bishui, Tianluo Province, and now Wuren City and some market towns are naturally provided by our Dadexiang. After the robbery of Su Youji's convoy, when Xu Sheng checked the accounts, he found that since dozens of days ago, the shipment of some grains, cornmeal and other grains has increased a lot. However, in recent days, shipments of cereals, cornmeal, and ordinary rice have returned to their previous levels. ”

"It's really suspicious. Lin Xi's brows frowned slightly: "Just by checking the accounts, you can see the obvious difference, presumably this amount is not ordinary... Su Youji's convoy carried a large amount of grain and seeds, so it should be considered that the previous shipments of those grains and cornmeal were large because of the arrival of the Elephant Army, because the food of those elephants was very large, and then the decline in shipments should be that the food carried by Su Youji's convoy met the temporary needs of the Elephant Army. ”

Chen Feirong looked at Lin Xi and Gao Yanan and said, "I couldn't think of a connection before, but now when I hear the news of the Divine Elephant Army, I think the same as you." ”

Gao Yanan said softly: "Does the military know about this news?"

"I waited for the adults to decide, and I didn't tell the military. It is impossible for the entire Biluo Tomb, whether it is the military, the court, or the rest of the big commercial houses, to find out such a thing. Chen Feirong looked at Gao Yanan and said calmly and affirmatively.

"Not bad. Lin Xi nodded, "Da Dexiang's current business is equivalent to a monopoly in the entire Biluoling, and in fact, it is equivalent to the strongest and largest intelligence agency in Biluoling. Have you and Xu Sheng found out where the extra food is going in the past few days?"

"Found out. Chen Feirong said: "Most of them went to the sunset racecourse. A military horse farm of the original Biluo Border Army near the Sunset Hills of Tianluo Province was abandoned in the war, and when the province was divided, it was taken off from the military headquarters and handed over to a businessman surnamed Lu to operate, who was a person from Heluo Province, and the scale of the horse farm was not small, but it should not use so much grain, and there should be no large-scale expansion. ”

"You've been very careful. Lin Xi thought for a while, turned his head to look at Gao Yanan, and said: "When I came, I didn't think of the slightest way to deal with the Elephant Army and save Da Dexiang's serious crisis, I think it was not easy to build, and I am afraid that a money empire that already has some appearance will suddenly collapse by this inexplicable war, but now this matter has given me some ideas to deal with the Elephant Army... Regardless of whether the Divine Elephant Army is from the Jiang family or another family, if it causes such a crisis to Dadexiang and Yun Qin, it will definitely have to be dealt with... Yanan, I'm afraid you'll have to try to help me take the initiative to contact your father and Qingluan Academy, I need some of their help. ”

Seeing Gao Yanan nodding and pausing slightly, Lin Xi continued: "Since there are things left behind by Dean Zhang like Da Hei, and there are previous grudges, the academy should also be prepared... Tell the academy and your father about this, I don't know if they will think the same way as me and be able to help me prepare something. ”

"What kind of ideas do you have, what do you want to prepare?" Gao Yanan and Chen Feirong glanced at each other, and both looked at Lin Xi and asked.

"Poison, lots of poison. Lin Xi looked at the two of them and said calmly: "The Divine Elephant Army has nowhere to go in Tang and Tibet, it is impossible to grab a batch of things and leave, as long as they continue to stay near Biluo Tomb, they will naturally need a lot of food, and it just so happens that the grain and grass supplied in this Biluo Tomb are all provided by our Dadexiang." Moreover, they were used to it before, and when the food of the Suyouji train was exhausted, they would naturally have to get food from us through people. Unless they're going to war right away. ”

"So you want to mix poison in the grain. Gao Yanan thought for a while and said, "This is indeed a good idea. ”

Lin Xi nodded and said, "The strength of the Divine Elephant Army lies in those white giant elephants, the white giant elephants eat a lot, and it should not be easy to detect if they mix some poison into their rations." So the key is that we make sure that the grain that enters the horse farm will definitely go to the Elephant Army, and ensure that the food is not found to be problematic if it is not in the horse farm. The key is to help the academy and your father determine which food is used by white elephants, and the resistance of white elephants to such large bodies. Of course, if the academy can be sure of some kind of poison, even the sergeants of the Divine Elephant Army can't detect it, and it can be poisoned, so it is naturally better. Now my only concern is that I can prepare such a large dose of poison. For example, although I have the quicksand poison of Gongsun Quan, a subordinate of Wenren Cangyue, the amount is too small to be used in such a place. ”

"These are things that the academy and my father himself should weigh up. Gao Yanan looked at Lin Xi and said, "We just need to prepare our affairs and thoroughly investigate the affairs of the racecourse first." ”

"Yes. Lin Xi smiled slightly, looked at Chen Feirong and said, "What is the Liu family's move now?"

Chen Feirong said: "I have been clearly given a deadline, if I don't give up some of Da Dexiang's interests within this month, or directly use it for them, the Liu family will do it." ”

Lin Xi thought for a while and said, "They should already have some evidence at hand, it seems that the matter at the Dragon and Snake Border Pass has also put a lot of pressure on them, and they are also afraid of your strength, for fear that you and them will die in the net, otherwise they will not give you a deadline or something." You tell me the whereabouts of the person in charge of their Biluo Mausoleum, and I will give them some warnings....The powerful are afraid of the bigger magnates, and I make them feel that they have bumped into a bigger magnate who they can't afford to provoke, and they will not dare to meddle in the affairs of Da Dexiang in the future, and they can also put some other cover on Da Dexiang. ”

Chen Feirong laughed, looked at Lin Xi with some sighs, and said: "Liu Ziyu always wants to fight with you, taking you as an enemy, every time I talk to you about the Liu family, I just can't help but think about what kind of mood he will feel when he knows that you are the big boss of Da Dexiang in the future." ”

"He's put a lot of effort into dealing with me. Lin Xi smiled slightly and said, "I hope that I will have the opportunity to really see his reaction when he knows it in the future." ”
