Chapter 7 - The Battle of Fang City

Li Wan looked at his son excitedly, his face full of pride. Li Qian and Li Bai's two brothers also breathed a sigh of relief, they couldn't raise their heads after being suppressed by the Zeng family during this time, and they were about to withdraw from the injury medicine market, who would have thought that this thorny problem would be resolved by their seventeen-year-old nephew.

Li Xiuyuan looked at his father and the elders, and said, "Father, two uncles. Although the cost of this qi and blood dispersion is low, our selling price cannot be lower than that of the Zeng family.

Because we are seeking money, this time they are not doing things authentically, let's let them let them go, after all, harmony makes money. If they still have to gain an inch, then we will occupy the morality, and it will not be too late to go to war again."

Listening to Li Xiuyuan's words, the three brothers in the hall were stunned. No one expected this seventeen-year-old boy to come up with such a sound plan.

"Because I am mainly responsible for the trade of all kinds of pills at home, I have some understanding of the various families that are engaged in the pharmaceutical business in this scholarly city", Li Qian took a sip of tea, and then said: "The idea of cultivating a nephew is indeed a true jade good word, but I am afraid that this Zeng family will not be forgiving."

After speaking, several people in the hall looked solemn. A storm is coming, and the air smells of nervousness.

As expected by the two family masters, Li Qian, not long after the Li family's qi and blood dispersion began to be sold, the Zeng family's blood coagulation pill was reduced by one percent.

The Li family had no choice but to see the move and adjust the price to the same price as the Zeng family.

Who knew that just a few days after the days of peace, the Zeng family's Qi and Blood Pill was reduced by half a percent.

At this time, in the Zeng family's mansion, Zeng Pojun, the head of the Zeng family, was discussing with his second son Zeng Wubei in the mansion. Speaking of the two sons of the Zeng family, they are both dragons and phoenixes among people, and the eldest son Zeng Wuwu has outstanding cultivation talents, and was taken to practice in the door by the elders of the Shenzhou Tayun Gate, the largest force in the Xuanling world, very early. The second son, Zeng Wubei, has an average talent for cultivation, but he has a talent for refining medicine, and he is also an elite disciple of the Medicine King Valley.

Zeng Pojun said: "No sorrow, after all, the Li family is the largest force in Scholarly City, and there is a righteous academy behind it as a backer, we are so low the price, we are forcing them to a dead end, is the method you said really feasible?"

Zeng Wubei replied: "Father, how can those few alchemists of the Li family compare with my master's sect Medicine King Valley? Now that the price is so low, everyone is selling at a loss, I don't believe that their Li family can consume more energy than our Zeng family? Even if they can really afford to consume energy, I still have a way to do it..."

Zeng Pojun looked at his son with a fierce look, and knew in his heart that his son was thinking about the family, but the method was too radical, so he had to shake his head helplessly.

At the same time, Li Wan, the head of the Li family, also called all the housekeepers to the main hall for discussion.

Li Qian first said: "We are retreating step by step, but the Zeng family has to make inch. Now that the price has been reduced, we have just been able to protect our capital, and if we fight a price war like the Zeng family, then we will really lose money and make money."

After hearing this, Li Wan said: "I estimate that our Li family and their Zeng family have begun to lose money now, and their confidence lies in the fact that the second son is a disciple of the Medicine King Valley, intending to consume us to death first, and then monopolize the pharmaceutical market in Scholar City by themselves."

The more this time, the more we can't be in a hurry, first like them, we will lower the price by half again, and temporarily use the profits of other businesses to fill the pharmaceutical business. Spend a while on him and see who between us and the Zeng family can't stand it first. Li Wan thought for a while, and then said: "I'm not afraid of a head-on conflict like this, it's the family's financial resources and the family's heritage." But I'm afraid that the Zeng family will make a crooked move, and when the two families start a war, it will be a river of blood..."

After speaking, they settled down separately, and the prices of each fang city were uniformly reduced, and the price was always the same as that of the Zeng family. Then send monks to station in the business with the background of the Li family to prevent the Zeng family from attacking by force.

In the past few days, except for Li Fuzhong, the guards who take care of the backyard and the house have not been mobilized. The rest of the monks were all stationed in various markets, so there were not enough manpower, so they could only strategically give up some less important shops and focus on the prevention and control of those big businesses of the Li family.

In this way, on the one hand, it can ensure that once a war breaks out between the two major families, the forces will not be too scattered and broken one by one; second, if a battle breaks out in a fang city, the neighboring fang cities can send people to support them while ensuring their own defense strength; and second, they can concentrate superior forces at each point to prevent the destruction of key industries and facilitate post-war reconstruction.

In this case, Li Xiuyuan, as the eldest son of the head of the family, naturally cannot be idle. The guards around him have been replenished by him to the key stalls, and he himself patrols the small businesses that have not been protected.

Because of his innate character of fighting injustices and helping the weak, he had no choice but to give up these small businesses. Since the interests of the family must first consider those Dafang City, then these small businesses will be guarded by him, Li Xiuyuan.

"Immeasurable good deeds, Bodhi Taoism. Because of the increase in one thing, it is said that "this is the Buddha in Li Xiuyuan's heart."

On this day, Li Xiuyuan patrolled between several businesses as usual. Walking to the door of a small shop, the shopkeeper knew that this was the eldest son of the Li family, so he hurriedly invited him to serve tea.

Li Xiuyuan also happened to be a little tired, so he sat at the door of the store and chatted with the boss without a word. Suddenly, I saw more than a dozen people walking towards the side on the street in front of me with knives, guns and sticks, looking like gangsters on the street.

Turning to the boss, he asked, "Do you know these people?" The boss replied, "Never." So Li Xiuyuan took a closer look and found that several of them actually had a fifth-level cultivation of condensation.

Where did ordinary gangsters have the opportunity to cultivate, let alone come so blatantly and directly to the Li family's business. It must be someone sent by the Zeng family to provoke. From this point of view, the Zeng family's large army must be ready, and when the incident comes together, they will catch the Li family off guard.

Li Xiuyuan asked the boss to go out through the back door and gather people in the family. Ambush approaching, waiting for the signal to act. And he sat at the door of the shop, improvising.

I saw those people rushing to the door of the shop with great momentum, and they didn't enter. A strong man in the lead shouted, "Where's the boss, come out for me!"

Li Xiuyuan stood up and replied, "I'm the boss, what's the matter with you?"

The strong man shouted again: "My brother was injured a few days ago, what bullshit did I buy from you, and now my brother's injury is getting more and more serious, what do you say?" The people on the street saw someone making trouble at the door of the Li family's shop, and they all gathered around to watch the excitement.

Li Xiuyuan saw that these people did not enter the business, but shouted at the door, definitely not for compensation, but to make trouble. Besides, these people don't even know the owner of the business here, and there are monks leading the way, so there is no doubt that they are from the Zeng family.

So he said: "Since my family's medicine has no effect, then I will definitely give you a certain amount of compensation, I don't know how much Mr. wants?"

The man said without hesitation: "Tattoo a thousand taels of silver!" Listening to this person's lion mouth, the crowd of onlookers next to him whispered, you must know that an ordinary family can't earn a hundred taels of silver a year, and this person will be the entire income of others for ten years as soon as he opens his mouth.

I saw Li Xiuyuan say without hesitation: "Yes."

The strong man was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect the little boss to agree so quickly: "No! A thousand taels of silver is not enough! I want to... I want you to shop!"

The surrounding crowd exploded with a roar: "What? It's not enough for people to give you a thousand taels of silver, and you still want people to live and live?"

Who would have thought that Li Xiuyuan was still expressionless: "Okay, this shop belongs to you." After saying that, he called out to the guys in the store and prepared to leave.

The leading strong man was anxious: "You can't go! You, you..." stammered for a long time, but couldn't think of a better reason. Yes, the owner of the house gave you all the shops, what do you want?

Among the onlookers, some of them with a sense of justice were already angry. This strong man saw that he aroused the anger of the public, but the family explained that they wanted to provoke an incident with the Li family, and now there was no progress, so they could only stand there and not let the young boss leave.

Seeing that the surrounding people were fighting for themselves, Li Xiuyuan turned around and asked, "I don't think you came here to ask for compensation at all, let's say, who instructed you to make trouble?"

The strong man was told that he was in the heart, and his face was red and white, but he couldn't answer. Seeing that the insults around him were getting louder and louder, the strong man became angry and slashed at the top of Li Xiuyuan's head. The surrounding onlookers exclaimed.
