Chapter 43 Layout
Chengbang people have not yet arrived in Yong'an, and the layout has begun.
Just in everyone's expectation, the convoy that arrived in Yong'an first in Black Wind Village was full of large sums of goods cleared out by the previous two masters and their diehard subordinates. This time, Jin Ge, who has been in charge of the sale of stolen goods, still continued to ship according to the previous rules according to 70% of the value of the property66. When the first batch of money arrived, he visited Mu En and bought a large set of yards connected to the warehouse and the façade from him. In the future, whether the name of Heifeng Village will be changed or what name it will be is two words, but they are now going to take root in Yong'an City. And this move really made people see the determination of Black Wind Village to transform.
Actually, Jin Ge himself has not realized this. Although his brain is not bad, he is mainly thinking about troublesome things such as cultivation and helping his brothers find a way to live, and he doesn't know much about these symbolic actions. However, when he calmly settled in the courtyard, he appeared in all aspects of Yong'an City, and his attitude towards them suddenly changed dramatically.
Several related guilds in the city sent people to congratulate the opening, and asked about their future business scope, inviting them to participate in some industry gatherings here in Yong'an City. The Du family also sent a post, inviting their speakers in Yong'an City to talk about it -- this is the Du family's practice for dealing with powerful merchants who have just entered Yong'an City, helping them quickly grasp the basic situation of the local area and gain a firm foothold, and at the same time, it is also a deterrent. Miss Du Jiasi also had a congratulatory gift, but she sent someone to send it in a low-key manner, and in addition, she asked Jin Ge to go back and talk to Cheng Bang, and then make an appointment to talk about business cooperation.
Before. The thieves near Yong'an sell stolen goods, and they are basically two or three fixed businesses. These businesses are all in the hands of the guys who have been bandit leaders in the past, some retire when they are old and then seek an industry for their children, and some are defeated in the infighting of the bandit gang, but they are lucky enough to survive. There are also those who have earned enough money and started to launder. These outdated bandit leaders have a common language in Yong'an City, and they operate in partnership, coupled with the demand for fellow bandits to sell stolen goods, they have a good life. Jin Ge had dealt with these businesses before, and the shipping price of the stolen goods was always seventy percent, and he never asked other questions. Pay in one lump sum forever. But after Jin Ge lived in this courtyard in Yong'an City, the other party took the initiative to send someone and handed over the letter, saying that in the future, everyone would follow the path of ordinary merchants, and also hoped that there would be a steward in Heifeng Village who would be responsible for these liaison and mediation work. The firm has something that is needed. will also do the same and place an order with Heifeng Village.
It was only at this time that Jin Ge was a little abrupt, and it turned out that his identity had changed. In the past, he was sent by Heifeng Village to Yong'an to sell stolen goods or deal with other miscellaneous matters, no matter how much they robbed the rich and helped the poor, no matter how they behaved. They are also bandits, and they are the enemies of all merchants. And now, they are already businesses that can occupy a piece of land to operate, and they are peers and no longer enemies. Most of the merchants in Yongan actually really hope that Heifeng Village can operate well, so as not to go back to the old road of bandits. The location of the Black Wind Village is very critical, if there is a place here for repair, the various caravans and adventure teams from Yong'an can go deep into the Shifang Mountain for almost two days. That would have to be at least a hundred miles deep, which is quite a remarkable area. Not to mention having a safe foothold on the Shifang Mountain Pass, rather than a bandit village that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so that everyone can have a sense of security in their hearts.
Now that he was aware of the change in his identity, Jin Ge quickly followed the change in his identity. Started to do things that are in line with the identity of a businessman. While he was taking care of the yard and preparing for the future business, as well as for the brothers who came and went between the cottage and Yong'an City, he began to recruit people in Yong'an. This is also what Cheng Bang and Ye Yichen told him to do, originally he was going to wait for the next batch of items to arrive, and there was nothing else to do. But now, with a little bit of identification with who they are, it seems more important to further strengthen that feeling. Although he will be busy half to death, this busyness definitely makes sense.
The recruitment of people in Black Wind Village is terrifying. After Jin Ge disposed of the goods and bought the courtyard, he still had more than 200,000 taels of silver in his hand, and he directly allocated half of it to recruit people. With all kinds of construction teams alone, he hired more than 20 teams in one go, 40,000 taels of silver, enough to hire these small 2,000 people for almost half a year. This group of people, escorted by the villagers who were preparing to return to Heifeng Village, came out with a large number of simple construction equipment as soon as possible. Jin Ge also went out, but this time he was sent to the mountain pass, and when the second group of troops to Yong'an City arrived, he returned to the city.
This batch shipped more things to Yong'an.
The things were sent directly to the camp of the Fengxing Chamber of Commerce. This batch of things surprised Qin Feng. What Qin Feng brought out this time were basically people he trusted, especially the people on the two flying boats. Although the loss of a flying boat is huge, it is not unbearable. Afterwards, he even thought with some joy that it was good that he had separated the flying boat from the home team, but in fact, the big troops on the ground didn't really know what was going on. In addition, he ordered the people on the flying boat to be sealed, although the people of the Fengxing Chamber of Commerce were quite dissatisfied with the back and forth trek, and they were very frightened of the loss of a flying boat, but most of them only thought that it was true that as Qin Feng and others said, the flying boat was involved in the turbulence in the mountains, and it was attacked by the Gangfeng before the situation happened.
The materials sent by Heifeng Village seem to corroborate Qin Feng's statement: there is no fighting, every one is just an accident. The bones were not sent to the city, but were placed in a semi-abandoned Buddhist temple outside the city, and the various weapons and belongings that were sent to the camp were sorted and organized. As for the things that Heifeng Village needs for itself, such as ballistas, sails, cables, etc., all of them have been converted into silver taels according to eighty percent of the market price.
Looking at the well-organized list, which did not miss a single bit, Qin Feng was silent. This is not a kind of demonstration: such a clean and clear list, especially the accurate valuation of weapons and other supplies, is enough to show that the other side has people who know the soldiers to take care of this, and can dispose of all of them in such a short time, and it also shows that the other side has been able to fully grasp the full strength of the Black Wind Village, and the ability to deploy troops to do all kinds of things is by no means lacking. can have these standards, even if it is not a famous general or a genius military advisor. It's enough of a headache. As long as the Black Wind Village can withstand it for a period of time, it will definitely get stronger and stronger, and it will be difficult to have the opportunity to occupy it again in the future. Qin Feng understood better that although he could go to the top level of the Chamber of Commerce again to collect combat power, this time even if he prepared in such a hurry, Black Wind Village could have this kind of combat power. In the future, even if he defeats the Black Wind Village, that kind of loss can make him be kicked out of the Chamber of Commerce. For the time being, this is the biggest loss he absolutely cannot bear.
In addition to these, there is also a very luxurious-looking sandalwood box. When Qin Feng opened the box and looked at it, the more he felt that the other party was thorough. In the box were actually three fist-sized demon cores, which were from the Stygian Fire Lizard. The Red Flame Turtle and the Heavenly Fire Wood Demon were taken out. These three demon cores happen to be fire attribute demon cores, which correspond to the three forms of energy of fierce, medium and gentle respectively. A single demon core may not be too rare, even if it is of extremely high quality like the one in the box, there is no damage at all, and even a demon core with few impurities, it is not completely impossible to get. But the places where these three demon beasts grow are too different. In particular, the Heavenly Fire Wood Demon is one of the few species that grows from plants to resemble demon beasts, although it can't move, and it doesn't have much intelligence, but the Heavenly Fire Wood Demon has always been symbiotic with various fire attribute group demon beasts, and there are generally places where the Heavenly Fire Wood Demon grows, and the fire energy is extremely abundant. Therefore, the demon beasts are either very large in groups, or they have strong individual combat power, anyway, Qin Feng himself estimated that even if his adventure team found the Tianhuo Wood Demon, there was absolutely no hope of winning it without killing or injuring forty or fifty people, let alone encountering such a good demon core. This box at least represents that the other party's exploration range in the Ten Directions Mountains is hundreds of miles away, and it has an extremely high ability to hunt demon beasts. This box was not given to him, let alone to make amends, and it was clearly written in the letter of the box: I hope Qin Feng can help sell this set of demon cores and exchange a lot of money for Black Wind Village. Or something else they need. Of course, he said so, but Qin Feng knew that if he operated properly, this group of demon cores alone would be able to make a small shock in the high-end demon core market of Chu State, and the benefits to himself would definitely not be less. This is not only a truce and a friendly attitude, but also a sign that everyone can cooperate. It was another small means to show his strength, which made Qin Feng suddenly feel less painful. If you can have two or three batches of such good goods, you will earn back your flying boat.
"Chengbang, when will he come to Yong'an?" Xun finished reading the letter, Qin Feng asked Jin Ge, who was standing on the side, waiting for him to reply.
"It's been a few days. The young master said that he was preparing something interesting, so that everyone could be impressed by the Black Wind Village. In addition, the village is also discussing what we will call it in the future, and we must prepare the flag again. Then, our shop will be opened. Jin Ge replied truthfully.
"If you have this kind of product in your store all the time, it's going to be a scary business. Qin Feng teased: "However, if you hand over this thing to me, won't Mu En trouble you in the future?" ”
"Mr. Mu has already slapped his eyes, and he said that he can make more money by handing it over to the Fengxing Chamber of Commerce to dispose of. The Fengxing Chamber of Commerce is in Beijing, and the connections in those wealthy families are stronger than the Demon Core Guild on the Yong'an side, this thing, the local sale is the same price, but in the hands of those who need it, the price should not be a problem, right?" Jin Ge saw Qin Feng's warm attitude, and he relaxed a little.
"Probably. The demon core of such a quality is such a compatibility of attributes, which is a good choice for refining high-grade and even top-grade elixirs. However, this set of things is so rare, I'm afraid that those monk families may not be able to use it quickly. ”
Jin Ge added: "That's okay, the young master said." If the price is right, the materials from the herbs, demon cores, and demon beasts below the four grades can be brought to the list in the future, and we still have some inventory, and some can be hunted specially. Mid-level demon beasts up and down, no problem. ”
Qin Feng nodded with a deep groan. After Jin Ge said goodbye and left, he looked at the three demon cores over and over for a long time before sighing heavily.
The old servant who had been following him for more than ten years asked with some puzzlement: "Master, what's wrong with you? Isn't it good that they can hold so many good things in their hands? They still seem to be very willing to deal with us, and it is better to have business than to fight for life and death." ”
Qin Feng smiled bitterly and said: "If you can't beat it, or when it's not cost-effective, of course it's better to do business." Originally, I thought that if they had some good things passed down from their ancestors, it would be normal. But these three demon cores. If I'm not mistaken, the time of removal was only four months before and after, and, judging by the technique, it should have been taken out by the same person. Counterpart...... During these four months. At least it took more than 2,000 miles to do this. In the entire Great Chu, how many teams can do this?"
The old servant opened his mouth and stammered for a long time, and then said, "Good girl, I'm afraid it's not going to be a team up with a group of masters who have completed the god period, right?"
"That day I was facing Chengbang, who was on guard and protecting them. At most, it is the late stage of excitation. On this occasion, there shouldn't be any more masters hidden, right?"
The old servant was surprised: "If this is the case, then when they have a master who has completed the god stage, they don't know what they will be like." I'm afraid there aren't many demon beasts in the mountains that can escape with their whole body, right?"
Qin Feng shook his head: "Unless it is a particularly powerful one in the high rank, it should be difficult to be spared." Although the demon beast is powerful, it is not smart enough after all. Once encircled and suppressed, it is difficult to escape. ”
The old servant was stunned.
"Working with them, it seems like the benefits are really good. Although I was a little unwilling to be so yin by them, I ...... I'm a businessman after all, so it's useless to think too much. Qin Feng sighed: "It seems that it is more important to have a good relationship with them." It would be nice if I could learn a few hands......"
Jin Ge didn't know what Qin Feng's mental journey was, but he could feel Qin Feng's shock after the gift was sent. And at this moment, he is becoming more familiar with the work of being a "business representative".
Fifteen days after blocking the Fengxing Chamber of Commerce, Cheng Bang came to Yong'an.
Jin Ge and a few of his men greeted him outside the city gates. Far away. I saw a flag with a black background and white piping. On the flag, there is a pair of white tigers embroidered, one jumping high and the other low, naturally the two guys Dabai and Xiaobai. Embroidering tigers on flags is the practice of many bandits. However, the embroidery and material naturally do not need to be mentioned. There may be some of the thieves and their relatives who are proficient in female red, but they are limited by their vision and will never have access to those top-notch stitches. But now on the double tiger flag, two white tigers seem to be about to burst out of the flag. It is vivid, and the eyes have a terrifying power, as if from any angle, the tiger looks like its eyes are staring at you.
This is our banner in the future, everyone can't help but think. Jin Ge even greeted him directly.
"Young Master. Jin Ge has been waiting here for a long time. ”
"Jin Ge, look at the news you sent back, the yard has been arranged to stop?"
"That's natural, after so many days here, it's just these things, and I can't say much if I can't do it well. Seeing that Cheng Bang directly asked about the arrangement of the courtyard, Jin Ge replied heartily.
"Then hurry up, let's go to our own place first. Cheng Bang said with a smile. As soon as he waved, the convoy continued to roll forward, but he and Cheng Bang stopped on the side of the road first and chatted a few words.
"Young master, this banner is really mighty. Jin Ge's gaze was completely glued to the bright flag, and he couldn't pull it away.
"Heifeng Village was later renamed Black Mountain Fort. This flag was embroidered by Wan'er and sent by Dajin, just in time to catch up. Chengbang was also very satisfied with this flag, and could even be said to be overjoyed. Wan'er has been a maid for Ariel Ye since she was very young, and he has always known that her female popularity is good, and she used to do all the sewing work in the forest. Probably never had the opportunity to show embroidery, and everyone never thought that there was such a master hidden around them. What's more interesting is that Wan'er's embroidery for this flag this time is not a local technique of Yueguo, but is closer to the school of art in the northern part of Chu near the seaside, which is a school known as "Golden Wrong Needle". The embroidery of the "Golden Wrong Needle" is particularly dense and complex, with a strong sense of three-dimensionality, and is extremely picky about the material and color of the thread, and has always been an important but never enough production of the embroidery of the Chu court. With this banner, it seems to be more confirmed that these people are the children of the family who lost in the struggle for the court situation in the Chu State.
Although Wan'er was meticulous, she didn't think of these things when she made this flag. It's just that I happen to have very suitable materials on my hands, and I haven't embroidered for too long, and it's just itchy for a while. Later, in the hands of Ariel Ye, this ingenuity appeared. Otherwise, a large group of rough men, where do they know what embroidery. The materials used for this flag, from the black base material, the white piping to the thread used for embroidery, are all produced in the Shifang Mountains, from several silkworms that have not yet reached the level of demon beasts, but the ecology is completely different from ordinary species. This kind of silkworm can feed different colors and produce silk threads of different colors through guò demon cores and spars with different attributes. They have traveled all the way, and they have just settled down in Xiaojin's territory, so it is naturally impossible for them to cultivate themselves with such kung fu. But Wan'er and a group of people left behind showed a small batch of such silkworms during their recent hunting trips, barely enough to scrape together such a little silk thread, just for Wan'er to wave like this.
