Chapter 175: Zhang Liangji, cross the wall ladder
Yangcheng, the main residence of Fangfu.
Dozens of people were frowning, angry and worried.
Today, the caravans heading to Qingyun City, Burning Dragon City, and Rock Iron City all returned halfway, and then they all looked for Fang Mansion to uphold justice.
The meeting was convened by the Fang Mansion after learning more about the situation, and it was much larger than any previous time, and this time many of the stewards who were in charge of the financial livelihood of the Fang Mansion also participated.
"What do you think?"
Seeing that no one spoke, Fang Teng had no choice but to mention it first.
"As soon as the three of them blockade our Yang City, there will be a shortage of rice ears, silk, elixirs, etc., which will have a big impact on the merchants in the city!"
"From this time, it can also be seen that the three of them are determined to join forces to deal with our Fang Mansion this time, and it is difficult to guarantee what they will do in the future. ”
"The others are okay, but the elixir must not be in short supply at this time, and if Pharmacist Wang wants to be promoted to the rank, he will definitely need a lot of elixir to try his hand. ”
"However, they have cut off their trade with us, and they themselves may not be able to bear it, so they say that they have also cut off the source of pills, weapons, baggage, and other things. ”
"That's right, they blockade us like this, we can't be completely effective, someone will come and quietly jump over the blockade and come to Yangcheng to buy pills and weapons!"
"When the time comes, we can release the news, we can only barter, not silver and gold, as long as we lack something. ”
After Fang Teng asked, everyone below had different opinions and looked at the matter from all angles.
Although it is a little noisy, it is inexplicably reassuring.
Because this matter was also related to Wang Yingtai, he also temporarily put down the study of the sixth-order pill this time and came to the meeting.
After listening to everyone's discussions, Wang Yingtai also nodded secretly, sure enough, this kind of thing still has to be brainstormed, it is better to find many blind spots that he can't think of alone.
Wang Yingtai touched his chin and thought for a moment and said: "I think it's better for us to take the initiative to develop a passage, we can't just expect people from other cities to come to us, it's too unstable, it's better to hold the initiative in our own hands." ”
"Reasonable, I agree. ”
"I also think it's better for us to take the lead. ”
"But the question is how to open up the passage!"
"Yes, even if you can find a place from Guangmao's border line that is unguarded, after all, they don't have so many troops to completely blockade it, but how to enter the city? ”
Wang Yingtai groaned for a while and said, "The people we put back earlier should have already returned to their respective cities, and they can write articles here." ”
"How?"
Everyone looked at Wang Yingtai curiously.
Wang Yingtai immediately said: "We can let them secretly look for some big chambers of commerce, as long as they come with what we want, we can lower the price and trade with them, businessmen are so profitable and have such a good opportunity to make a lot of money, I don't believe that those big chambers of commerce will not be moved." ”
Since the three cities have restricted the trade routes with Yangcheng, when the weapons and pills sold by Yangcheng that they have now are all consumed, then they can only buy the weapons and pills in their own city.
The price is about the same as that of Yangcheng, but the quality is far behind, when the time comes, which chamber of commerce can still have Fangfu's things in their hands, then they can sit on the ground and make a lot of money, after all, things are scarce and expensive.
In addition, if they want to lower the price on their side, then as long as they trade with Fang Mansion once, they can make a lot of money.
This is undoubtedly a great temptation for those profit-seeking businessmen.
A steward said: "But those chambers of commerce can't maintain a transaction with us for a long time, after all, everyone doesn't have the things of our mansion and you can always take them out to buy them, you will definitely be suspected of secretly trading with our mansion." ”
Wang Yingtai smiled with a look of wisdom beads in his hand: "Then what will you do if you are a person from Qingyun City and other forces who find out that someone is secretly trading with us?"
The steward said, "Then they must be investigated!"
Wang Yingtai continued to ask: "Those big chambers of commerce are not easy to mess with, they rely on money to supply a lot of masters, and it is not necessarily difficult to lead people to shuttle from the border line of the three cities, so what will you do?"
"Let the masters of your own forces keep an eye on you at all times!"
Wang Yingtai shook his head and said: "It's not enough, there are many masters in a city who are not used by the City Lord's Mansion and like to be at ease and only accept high-priced rewards, as long as those chambers of commerce take a little bit out of the high profits they earn, they can drive many masters." ”
The steward frowned and said, "Then we will directly kill the chickens and wait for them, and destroy all those big chambers of commerce!"
Although money will make many masters secretly help people smuggle, it is impossible to make them compete with the city lord's mansion, and no matter how much money is given, most people will not do it.
Therefore, as long as they directly attack those big chambers of commerce that take the lead in "rebellion", no one will help them for money, and they can also deter other people who are ready to move.
Wang Yingtai applauded: "That's right, this is the best thing to do, but what if you destroy the many big chambers of commerce in this city in one go?"
"It should cause an uproar, but so what?"
"The strong are respected, it is the law of survival in this world, the inhabitants of the city really can't do anything, but we can do something in it. ”
Wang Yingtai paused and said: "Since it will cause an uproar and talk all over the city, we might as well add fuel to it and release some remarks." ”
Everyone asked, "What rumors?"
Wang Yingtai smiled slightly, which was also like a spring breeze: "For example, the reason why these chambers of commerce provoked the City Lord's Mansion was because they traded with our Mansion and resold the pills and weapons of our Mansion. ”
Everyone was stunned, what was the use of such rumors? Didn't it make those people stay away from our Fang Mansion even more?
"You think, those who hear these words will be confused. ”
Fang Xing shouted dissatisfiedly: "Finish the words at once!
Fang Xing can be said to have spoken everyone's thoughts, if it weren't for Wang Yingtai's special identity, someone would have beaten him a long time ago, is it interesting to sell Guan Zi again and again? !
Fang Teng's quietly clenched fist slowly loosened.
Wang Yingtai shrugged his shoulders, what a group of anxious sons, what's wrong with me showing off? What's wrong?
"Those people will definitely wonder why these chambers of commerce dare to secretly trade with our chamber of commerce after the city lord's mansion has already issued a ban, and then we will spread the news that we will lower the price and sell pill weapons to those chambers of commerce, hey!"
Wang Yingtai said this, most people have understood, they can mix with this rumor and quietly spread the news that Fang Mansion sells pills and weapons at low prices, and when the time comes, it will be too late for someone to find out that something is wrong.
In this way, as long as the price lowered by the Fang Mansion is low enough, it will not only be these big chambers of commerce that will be tempted by the time, from individuals to some small and medium-sized chambers of commerce, even if the power of the city lord of a city is great, it will not be able to control the people of a city.
At that time, those people would take their Fang Mansion and rush to Yangcheng to trade with Fang Mansion.
The crowd clapped their hands in amazement.
"Pharmacist Wang is Pharmacist Wang, you really deserve to be you!"
"That's right, this is our Wang Pharmacist!"
"What a treacherous man!"
"With so many cunning and unpredictable minds, it's no wonder that I can't find a daughter-in-law!"
"Uh-huh???"
Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see Fang Xing sighing there.
Oh, what the second master said, then it's fine.
The crowd sighed as if they hadn't heard.
Wang Yingtai, who was still modest just now, had a smile on the corner of his mouth, his smile was stagnant, and he stared at Fang Xing viciously, as if he could breathe fire!
Fang Xing naturally noticed it, but he didn't care either, and even raised his eyebrows as if provocatively.
Just when Wang Yingtai was about to turn his face and roll up his sleeves to fight, Qian Luo, the chief housekeeper of the Fang Mansion, suddenly said with a bitter face: "Then how much money do we have to lose this time?"
At that time, the pills and weapons sold will definitely not be a small amount, and I don't know how much I will lose money if I lower the price, which will make Qian Luo, a person who manages property, feel distressed.
Fang Teng sighed and said, "This is also something that can't be helped. ”
Qian Luo sighed: "Then what about these merchants and chambers of commerce in my Yang City? They can't do business, so what if they don't have money, what should they do with taxes?"
Fang Teng said, "Let's reduce some taxes appropriately." ”
Although Qian Luo had expected it, he still couldn't help but say: "It's really a big loss this time." ”
The crowd was silent.
After half a ring, Fang Teng said: "It's just a labor pain, and when Brother Wang breaks through to the sixth-grade pharmacist, he can solve all the problems, and what he loses now will be earned back exponentially!"
Everyone nodded silently, there was nothing else to do, and it would not be wise to declare war on them for this.
The combined strength of the three cities is one-third more than that of Fangfu, although the quality is not as good as that of Fangfu, there are too many soldiers on Fangfu's side, but it is difficult to determine the victory or defeat in the battle, and the casualties are huge, but it is certain.
In the past, there was still the advantage of Fang Teng, the number one master, who could give everyone confidence, but the Jindan powerhouse who suddenly appeared shattered this advantage and confidence.
This time, Fang Fu really felt something called pressure in an all-round way.
Suddenly, someone said up: "If only Young Master Fang Liang was born more than ten years earlier, judging from his anti-heaven talent, it is impossible to say that it will be another Jindan Realm in our mansion by then, and there is no need to be so aggrieved." ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, Fang Teng frowned and said, "What's the matter with expecting juniors to shelter us from the wind and rain?!"
The one who spoke out was stunned.
Seeing everyone's aggrieved and depressed expressions, Fang Teng said in a deep voice: "What if they have two Jindan, don't forget that Uncle Li is also about to enter Jindan! I have already asked Uncle Li, and his breakthrough should be in the past month or two!"
Everyone's eyes lit up, and the dark clouds that enveloped everyone's hearts suddenly dispersed.
