Chapter 35: Dissuasion
When Zhou Shang and Lou Hong came down the mountain with seven or eight large bags of blood on their backs, there were also shivering people who came out of the cave one after another.
They bowed their heads to the far side of the cart, and then fled into the forest like a fawn.
And Lou Hong and Zhou Shang didn't stop for a moment after coming out of the bloody village, and went straight to Mo Jinlin.
didn't expect that the strength of the equally famous forces was much worse.
Whether it's the size of the minions or the number of cultivators.
Even the cottage station is placed next to a forest swamp, the minions live in a tree house, and the leader of the product is the overhead wooden house, known as the forest owner of the middle grade realm, is still a kind of goods.
The entire force, including the leader and minions combined, is less than forty people.
"I got the news so soon, I shouldn't have it!"
After Lou Hong leveled Mo into Lin Dangping, he even had some suspicions.
"The blood flow village is the same as Mo into the forest, saying that it is a reckless force, but in fact, the Yongning family is raised, specializing in some things that are inconvenient to do on the surface. Mo Jinlin's place is already more sinister than the poor mountains and mountains, where is the place where people live, leave some desperate peripheral members here, and the core personnel change their clothes and go back to Yongning City to live. It's not too late to assemble when action is needed. ”
Zhou Shang explained as he packed the bandits' heads and put them away, the cart was already filled with a strong smell of blood, and even the pack beasts began to stomp their hooves uneasily.
Considering the stability of the means of transport, Lou Hong decided to transport these confessions back to the camp first.
"Alright, put the car here, you go and rest!"
After returning to the camp, Lou Hong patted Zhou Shang's shoulder, old-fashioned, "You kid is good, but the sense of smell in battle is too secondary, and he will use brute force against the enemy. ”
After speaking, without waiting for Zhou Shang to answer, he went straight to the owner Zheng Qian, looked at the back of the cheerful, and ran away after taking advantage.
Zhou Shang shook his head and walked straight to the camp with a little sadness on his face.
This action really had a great impact on him!
It's so late to come back, and I don't know if there is no food in the cafeteria...
……
Shop bookkeeper
Normally, the proprietor Zheng Qian is either on the way to run a business, or he is at the station to settle accounts.
Lou Hong thinks that there is actually nothing to calculate, even if he and Yan Gang's pill remuneration are excluded, Qiankun Commercial Bank is also a frightening deficit.
After all, in terms of the success rate of the alchemy of the king gourd, if the Qiankun Pharmacy can make a profit, then it will be hell!
But Zheng Qian didn't seem to notice the biggest problem, but thought that Wang Gua had made a lot of progress, and he was very diligent, so he should be rewarded.
"I haven't heard of any commercial bank that pays out rewards even if it loses money."
Lou Hong said speechlessly: "The proprietor, the bandits of the Blood Flow Village and Mo Zhulin have been exterminated, but there are some things, I think it is necessary to inform you......
Saying that, he will be in the blood flow village and Mo into the forest, the puppet village master encountered, as well as the other party has a fearless attitude, after the retelling, 1510 retelling, such a summary: "I thought that the people of Yongning City are withering, the martial arts are not prosperous, and the extinction of the Danshi is just a matter of one or two families, but judging from the matter of the blood flow village and Mo into the forest, this Yongning City is probably rotten to the bone!" With our current manpower, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to do anything! ”
"Brother Lou's words are reasonable, but the manpower is not in a hurry in advance!"
Zheng Qian said: "The most important thing for us now is to give an explanation to the families of the deceased, so I plan to take out a part of the pension to give to the families of the deceased to express my feelings, and then after the Ghost Crying Ridge is also resolved, we will set up an altar to build the heads of the thieves in the three cottages into a Jingguan to comfort the souls of the deceased in the sky." ”
"Huh!?"
Lou Hong was taken aback by Zheng Gan's excessively ruthless decision, "I advise the proprietor to be cautious, according to Gao Tu, although these are all thieves, but in fact, they are inextricably linked to the forces in Yongning City, and making them into Jingguan is a situation that never stops, I'm not worried about myself, it's just that most of the shopkeepers in the line are ordinary people, and the camp guards are still short and embarrassing to practice, and it's easy to have accidents!" ”
"From the moment they started to attack the guys in the industry, they were already dying. But Brother Lou's concerns are indeed very reasonable, hmm..... Such! ”
Zheng Qian paced back and forth, thought for a long time, and finally decided: "Early tomorrow morning, gather all the hired workers in the industry to assemble, I have something to announce." ”
"Head to head, outside must first be inside!"
Lou Hong nodded again and again, expressing deep agreement, "Let's unite so that outsiders won't take advantage of it, I'll arrange it!" ”
……
Early the next morning
Zhou Shang was awakened by the sound of the gong of the emergency assembly, and when he rushed to the school grounds, he found that most of the employees of Qiankun Commercial Bank were in place.
Not only the guards of the camp, but also Shen Chi and the guys who traveled with him before, Wang Gua, who was unhappy because of the delay in alchemy, and all the helpers in the station.
The proprietor, Zheng Gan, stood on the high platform, and the commander Lou Hong stood behind him.
After everyone was in place, the proprietor Zheng Qian said to everyone: "I am Zheng Gan, and I have something to say when I gather everyone here today. ”
"Everyone already knows about the attack on the caravan in the line before, after promising to seek justice for the dead guys, I asked Commander Lou to go to the Blood Flow Village, Mo into the forest, and Ghost Crying Ridge to avenge the dead brothers, although Commander Lou killed the bandits who attacked our line and avenged the dead guys, but he did not hurt the real bones of several thieves' dens."
"After the death of so many subordinates, they will never give up, it is conceivable that in the future, our business will be more difficult than before, not only that, these thieves have been entrenched in Yongning Prefecture for decades, and their power is very strong, revenge will be regarded as a provocation to authority, so they will do everything possible to target us."
"So ......."
Speaking of this, Zheng Qian paused for a long time, smiled at the restless crowd in the audience, and said in a harmonious voice: "Now is the perfect time to leave!" ”
Lou Hong, who was also standing on the high platform, heard that his words changed, and everyone in the audience was even more discussing, Zheng Qian continued: "If you miss today, you will live a long time of fear, not only the knife hands of the bandits, but also the isolation and exclusion of those who do not know why. As the proprietor of the Qiankun Trading House, I can't let you go through this without knowing it, let alone let you take risks in a daze, so if you want to leave, you can take a step forward! ”
As the words fell, the crowd became even more restless, especially the local guards and hired workers.
They have heard too many stories of the murderous bandits, and when they were young, their parents always ended the story with the bandits coming to arrest you in order to make them fall asleep quickly.
As he grew up, his fear of bandits grew deeper as news of the tavern spread.
After the attack on the six caravans, the people of the Qiankun Trading House were already panicked, and now when they heard Zheng Qian say this, they were even more afraid.
One after another, the guards and men walked out of the formation with their heads down, and some of them should have been extremely ashamed, and there were explanations in their steps.
"I didn't leave because I was scared, I had my troubles, my mother was sick......"
"I... I'm getting older, and I feel hopeless, so I'm going to change careers and go back to my hometown to start a small business..."
"I felt unwell some time ago, I think I should be sick, I plan to go home to recuperate, and I will come back when I am well!"
No matter how outrageous the excuses of the guards and guys are, Zheng Qian responded with a smile, and his mouth kept reassuring, "It's okay, I understand, I will let the shopkeeper destroy your deed and settle this month's salary, you pack up your things as soon as possible, leave the station, and be careful on the road." ”
As more than a dozen people rushed away, the formation became sparse and scattered, but Zheng Qian didn't seem to be satisfied, and asked a few times if anyone had left, and after getting no response, he walked off the school platform.
Pacing in front of a few hired men with particularly young faces, he asked with a smile: "I remember that you and the dead guys in Liu Jian's caravan seem to be fellow villagers, so you should know the ferocity of the bandits." Now that I have offended them severely, in the future, the merchants will inevitably be attacked, and even if they stay in the station, it will be difficult to ensure their safety, are you not afraid? ”
"I... We are not afraid! ”
Among the several young and abnormal guys, there was a faint leader of a certain dark and thin young man, Goubao, who was trembling all over, unable to tell whether he was excited or afraid, but his tone was very firm.
"Don't be nervous."
Seeing Goubao's nervousness, Zheng Qian reached out and patted the other party's shoulder, and began to pull up the routine, "What's your name and how old are you this year?" ”
"Back to the shopkeeper, the small one is called Dog Bao, sixteen this year."
The thin dog Bao's face was full of excitement and he replied loudly.
"Dog, you've proven your bravery, but you're too young to be involved in such a danger. So I'd like to give you, and your buddies, a special case. ”
Zheng Qian smiled and rubbed Goubao's head, "I will let the shopkeeper destroy your deed of acceptance, and then give you three months' salary, you can take this money and go to the Taoist hall to practice, or learn a craft, how about it?" ”
The guy named Goubao blushed when he heard this, snorted for a while, and said: "Please forgive the owner, Goubao is from a poor background and can't say nice things, but I work in Qiankun Firm, not just to make money!" When he was twelve, the village was desolate, and there was not enough land for everyone to live, so he drove some people out. ”
"The owner saw that I was not very old, but in fact I came out to work at the age of eleven or twelve, but I was young, my strength was small, and I was bullied everywhere. I don't want to live like that again, but I don't know where else there is such a place except for Qiankun Firm! ”
"I was bullied outside, starved, robbed of my earned money, and then left behind one day because I was sick, I really had enough of it! I'm going to stay here, even if I die at the hands of the bandits, the owner, I'll do my best, even if I fight for my own life, I'll protect you, please don't drive me away! ”
The more Gou Bao spoke, the more excited he became, and at the end of his speech, his eyes were already full of tears.
Withdrawing his hand from the dog treasure's head, Zheng Gan's face had a helpless smile, "In the face of the reality of rape, the original strong man became cowardly and chose to leave, but the weak imp gave birth to the courage to face life and death, what reason can I use to stop a man from gambling with his life!" ”
Hearing this, Goubao and a group of friends cheered loudly.
And Zheng Gan, who failed to persuade him to leave, returned to the school platform again and made a final announcement to everyone: "My words have been finished, you can think about it after you go back, and those who want to leave can stand up now, if you don't have it for the time being, just return to your respective posts first, don't worry, I will ask again in a few days, now, disband~"
From beginning to end, Zhou Shang stood in the crowd and observed silently.
Observe not only Zheng Qian, but also Lou Hong, as well as all the employees of Qiankun Commercial Bank.
As a witness to the cottage incident, he was surprised by Zheng Gan's choice.
From the information exposed from Gao Tu's mouth, it is not difficult to conclude that the situation of Qiankun Commercial Bank will be very difficult in the future.
Now is the time to unite all the forces that can be united, even if they are insignificant hire-workers.
With Zheng Gan's ability, he should be able to come up with countless arguments to make the employees of the trading house feel the same hatred and hatred, or push himself to the high platform of justice and forcibly tie everyone to his chariot.
But he didn't do that, and even when the business house needed manpower the most, he made it clear that the hired men had nothing to do with it.
Already understaffed, coupled with the strength of the enemy, and the need for intimidating layoffs?
This should be too vulgar to be vulgar, right?
But why, Zhou Shang has inexplicable emotions in his heart, feeling that he should support such a man?
Even, he wanted to see how far this Qiankun firm would go under the leadership of Zheng Qian.
Shouldn't this be just a temporary place to stay?
Why do you have this idea?
Zhou Shang is too lazy to think about it, the most important thing at the moment is to cook!
It may not be two days before the firm will be squeezed out of business by the local forces in Yongning, and one meal will be missing.
……
Qiankun Commercial Bank is located
After disbanding everyone from the school grounds, Zheng Qian was pulled to the account room by Lou Hong, and as soon as the door was closed, the commander of the guard held back the whole question: "We are so short of manpower, you still send people away, why?" ”
"Don't worry, brother, I'll talk to you slowly."
Zheng Qian was almost carried all the way, his clothes were twisted by the strong winds of hunting, but his tone was still calm, and while sorting out his clothes, he explained: "Compared with the forces we have to face, it doesn't matter how many of us are now, and it doesn't matter how many people are gone. ”
"So what's important?"
"The people who are with us and will be with us in the future are the most important things!"
Zheng Qianli straightened his clothes, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "If you want to reshape Yongning Qiankun, you can't rely on confused employees, but you need a large number of colleagues with the same goal!" Dude, think about it, why they reacted so much to our firm, because what we are doing now is stepping on their sore feet! ”
Lou Hong was full of question marks: "What do you mean??? ”
"Business must not stop!"
Zheng Qian's tone resolutely concluded: "After dealing with the condolences of the dead guys, we will reorganize the caravan manpower, considering that there are so many guards, the camp is no longer enough to support the escort work of many caravans, so I plan to send more people to Shen Chi's caravan, and he will be mainly responsible for opening up the trade road opposite the wasteland." And this area in Yongning Prefecture, I plan to personally organize people to take over! ”
"What? Do you want to lead the team yourself? No, absolutely not! ”
Lou Hong didn't understand the other things too much, but in the end he heard this sentence clearly, "The caravan target is obvious, out of the Yongning range, there are ambush points everywhere, it's dangerous!" ”
"It's the danger, so I have to lead the team myself."
Zheng Qian said: "Besides, with the strength of my brother, I will definitely be able to protect the caravan and me!" ”
"I knew it, I knew it!"
It turned out that the danger was in me.
A trace of remorse hung on his face, and Lou Hong was annoyed that he understood too late, "How can the marrow washing pill be so easy to earn, it is a loss, this time it is really a big loss!" ”
