After such a farce in Li Town, Kuchaling is quite a bit of a rumor.

However, under the arrangement of Zhong Min and others, the turmoil gradually calmed down, and a trade market was specially built in the center of Lingdi.

At this time, the news in the boundary of Li Town was full of news, bad omens were raging, and the roads were difficult to pass, so the merchants simply extinguished their minds, stationed here, and took out the hoarded goods to expand the scope of the transaction.

Merchants tend to be pragmatic, and although there may be a better market for certain items to be shipped to Yongcheng or a larger town, they have to be enjoyed by life.

Even the nobles of Li Zhen fled in a panic, and there were constant turmoil on the road, so what qualifications did they have to live in? Sell early and get out early.

So I saw such a scene, a rough fenced bazaar, merchants shouting goods, people coming and going, trading daily things with spirit coins, grain, and ancient iron.

What is the most important thing in troubled times?

Swords and food.

After all, he is still a mortal, and if he does not eat grains, he will starve to death. But if there is a knife, you can keep the food. Merchants are willing to open warehouses to trade, how is it not the protection fee they pay, they can be careful in their hearts.

To put it bluntly, strength is the most basic guarantee.

The nobles of Li Zhen were turned away, the second lady's guard almost died, and the head of the Shi family was insulted and didn't even dare to say cruel words. This is the essence of Kuchaling, at least it is the power that can ensure everyone's safety.

What more could you ask for? Do you really think that a group of stinky businessmen can end up well if they keep up with the team fleeing from the famine?

Everyone looked at the Zhen family's shop in the largest area of the bazaar, Zhen Hao called friends, invited the guards, and couldn't help but take a look.

Who would have thought that with the loss of Zhen Yin and others at the helm, Zhen Hao would turn the tide, especially when making the right choice. Nowadays, it is regarded as the most reliable caravan by the Kuchaling Mansion, and it is vigorously supported, and the amount of trading ancient iron and human face tea is the highest, which faintly means that the façade of the bitter tea shop is responsible.

After Zhen Hao learned the news of Li Zhen, especially after seeing the result of the basic destruction of the Zhen family, he basically figured it out.

Just sent in a few old customers, and a few more guards came up:

"Brother Wang, Brother Liu, rare customers, why did the store receive a new batch of brocade, which is the number one goods in Wang's cloth store, and he refused to take it out before.

The two ladies passed by a few days ago and specifically mentioned that they like this silky thing the most, and they specially prepared it, please come in, please come in! ”

The two guards had bitter faces, but there was nothing they could do. Who let marry the losers, they like those precious things, and the guard allowance issued by the government has risen a little more this time, especially the thirty soldiers squad, this time to resist Li Zhen's loyalty, and the reward is even greater.

Both of them are new soldiers in the prime of life, who have followed the owner of the mansion to fight the paper girl weird, and have been to the kiln village, and they have a hand in the art of marksmanship, and their minds are resolute.

It is natural to say that it is natural to be a soldier to resist treachery and defend the homeland. But if you can reward more, your morale will be higher. Not to mention, her mother-in-law wears a soft brocade, which does look much more temperamental, and she is no longer the original village girl.

The main thing is that they are happy, and they will be blessed that night, and they can mention what they usually dare not think about and dare not try, and they will be satisfied. Isn't all this due to the lord of the house? It's right to be grateful to the lord of the house.

"It's easy to say, Brother Zhen has worked hard, remember your kindness."

Zhen Hao bowed, sent the two guards in, and continued to greet the others.

As the largest business in Kuchaling at present, the Zhen family has indeed changed a little bit from a high-level ban to today's preferential treatment object.

Zhong Min, who was patrolling the ridge in the distance, was quite tired.

He is a government judge, and it stands to reason that he should be in charge of adjudicating cases, adjudicating disputes, and reconciling the township. Now that he has been recognized by Li He, he can intervene in almost everything in Lingdi, and even has the majority of decision-making power.

It can even be said that there are some things that Li He may not be clear. But if you find Zhong Min, the big housekeeper, it can basically help you do it.

Li He only controls the general direction, and the power and responsibility are attributed to Zhong Min, and the fields and spiritual plants are attributed to Liu Wu, each performing its own duties.

Trade now seems to be full of flowers, but there are many loopholes. Zhen Hao has also reflected with the government several times, such as trade rules, ridge commissions, and various taxes. At present, there are no definite rules, and most of them are relatively relaxed.

Now that there is a big chaos in Li Town, the lord of the mansion is mighty, and he doesn't dare to cause trouble when he is small. But after a long time, businessmen will pursue profits, which will inevitably destroy the market atmosphere.

Even if these businessmen are really benevolent and compassionate, the current environment is full of bad omens and storms. It is impossible for Kuchaling to really do that peaceful business, and the most important thing is to improve its own strength and create a suitable guard system.

At present, the Dao soldiers trained by Li He can only be said to have a prototype, and they are still far from his expectations. Not to mention that compared with the original bean soldiers in Loei, even if it is an ordinary bad omen, it may not be able to resist.

Therefore, planning and collecting goods, guiding the direction of commerce and trade, and rectifying the structure are the most important questions. Zhong Min felt that he was not such a talent, and he had to recruit a trade envoy to take charge of the financial direction, so as not to affect the great cause of the lord of the mansion.

He is not afraid of his own hardships, but he is not good at this, which is indeed a problem.

In the past few days, Zhong Min has been worried, and he wants to find such a talent, but it is difficult to find it. After all, the small bitter tea ridge, in the past, trade was mostly barter, when to use it like this.

While he was thinking, one of the scouts returned, and suddenly he became solemn, and asked:

"What is the situation in various parts of Li Town now?"

Since the outbreak of the bad omen erosion of the Li Zhen Mansion, the weirdness has been pervasive, and even the post road has not worked, and the whole place has fallen into a closed scene, and there is no news transmission, as if he has become a blind person.

But everyone knows that bad omens will spread, and this is just the beginning. Therefore, investigating the trend of Zhuling is the first priority today.

The scout removed the scroll he was carrying, and it was stained with a lot of blood, dark red as ink, very strange. He cleared his throat and said:

"The town of Li has been shrouded in blood and has not stopped so far, but the area of the rain has not become larger, and it is still confined to the surrounding town.

The post road is strange and raging, but it is not a source of bad omen, but there are always bizarre things entangled, if there is no way to protect themselves, ordinary people will die! ”

With that, the scout glanced at the paper painting behind him, and continued to add.

"The few ridges closest to Kucha, the rye ridge, stopped rye-derivatives, and hoarded all of them for grain, and I heard that the passage of merchants has been restricted, and the two ridges around it have migrated to rye, and they are ready to fight.

The three ridges such as Weiluobei have all gathered together to resist the weird, and there is a tendency to merge.

As for the kiln village, there is no news about the guards of the Demoiselle Ridge who returned to escort them, and it seems that there has been a change in the ridge land, and all of them have returned to their hometowns. ”

Now that bad omens are everywhere, and Li Zhen has lost his command, all the ridges can only huddle together to keep warm and tide over the difficulties together. However, the so-called huddle is only a process of swallowing small and large, and fusion and swallowing are inevitable, just to see whose fist is bigger.

Judging from the previous meeting, Kuchaling is obviously the strongest ridge, and the surrounding area is unique.

The scout paused, and continued.

"I didn't know much about the further places, and I heard that the eldest prince of Li took Zhao She and Dou Bing to the Thorn Ridge, preparing to escape from Yongcheng.

Faster than them, it was the caravan that passed by a few days ago, that is, the people led by Miss Li Er, who heard that they had arrived at the border of Li Zhen and were about to leave this place. ”
