Chapter 36: Zheng Xiaoyue's Troubles

"Drive, drive, hahahaha, how much did you get today?"

"How can there be more than three brothers, just a few brocades, and some worthless jewelry, go back and coax the mother-in-law. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½β€

A group of men and horses galloped by, each with no empty hands, some with cloth, some with groceries, and even some dragging women, all the way with smoke and dust, shouting and screaming.

"Shopkeeper Liu, I can't go on like this, since the Tianjian Villa was destroyed, I am the sixteenth shop that has been looted, and seven of the guys have died, and the goods sent by the general number some time ago were also robbed on the way. If this situation continues, I'm sorry, Lao Li, I'll go back to the Central Plains to eat, it's no different from waiting for death here, I've been running around for so many years, I should retire and enjoy the blessings. ”

"Alas, Lao Li, I also understand your mood, I'm not much different from you, the twelve shops were looted, the two money houses were burned directly, even the head of the old Zhang family, all dead, I have already contacted Guanzhong, after a few days, I will withdraw the shop and leave. ”

"The two shopkeepers don't have to be too anxious, our Jujin has also issued an order, seal the shop, withdraw the customs, and throw all the things here, hehe, the owner of the money will naturally ask someone to come forward to seek justice." ”

"Lao Liu, I have been in the rivers and lakes for many years, I haven't seen any storms, and I can't do any business, but here, hehe, it's not business at all, it's waiting for robbery, no matter what other chambers of commerce say, anyway, our Heluo Club has already decided, leave this ghost place, and after they establish order, we will come back, money, where can not be earned, here, what is earned is blood." ”

"Lao Li, Lao Liu, I, Ma Zhenyin, am not a person who is afraid of things, I have contacted thirty-two chambers of commerce, large and small, everyone unanimously decided to evacuate Yongzhou and retreat to the Central Plains, and the Jujin Chamber of Commerce came forward to organize a joint chamber of commerce, and refused to trade with the hero gate again, originally my money proprietor also went to the hero gate during the birthday banquet of the hero gate, and their tribe also had business dealings, I didn't think that as soon as I entered the customs, the situation changed completely, and the business outside the gate can still be done now, but this area of Tianjian Mountain in Yongzhou is completely rampant with thieves, except for that Zheng Xiaoyue, there is no normal person in the hero gate, and they have nothing to say at all。 ”

Tianjian Mountain, Hero Gate,

Since the Hero Gate took the Tianjian Mountain, Zheng Xiaoyue led people to be stationed here, and tried to control the local people, obtain financial resources and resource supply, this time the battle of the Heavenly Sword Mountain, the killing was too heavy, there were good and bad, the good thing is that the nearby martial arts sect, afraid of the catastrophe of the destruction of the Heavenly Sword Mountain, did not dare to face the Hero Gate head-on, in addition to making up their minds and moving inward, most of the rest were willing to belong to the Hero Gate for sending, so that the manpower that the Hero Gate could use was greatly increased, but these people, in the previous words, were all some green forest forces, the kind that was suppressed by the Heavenly Sword Villa。

The disadvantage is that so many people have been killed, the image of the hero gate in the hearts of the people is very bad, the Tianjian Villa has taken root in Yongzhou for nearly a hundred years, several generations of management, and has an excellent reputation in the local area, most of the Tianjian disciples are born locally, and they were so brutally killed by the hero gate, the people's hearts can be imagined, except for some famous big chambers of commerce, no one even dares to come and do business with the hero gate, so that the materials required by the hero gate have to be transported from the rear, which greatly increases the difficulty of development, Zheng Xiaoyue knew that this was harmful to the great cause, but he couldn't control it, and he was busy for a while.

However, things are getting worse and worse, there is a lack of materials, and most of the disciples under the command of the hero are from the tribe, and there are not enough things, so the first reaction is to plunder, the people have few materials at hand, and they are scattered, and it is laborious to plunder, so they attack the caravan that is not much. In this way, it touched the bottom line of the Chamber of Commerce, and it was over to grab it for a while in three months, grit its teeth, and raise the price.

So Zheng Xiaoyue sent people to invite the treasurers of various chambers of commerce to try to negotiate and solve this problem, and set up a banquet in Tianxiang Building. In the evening, the shopkeepers of the major chambers of commerce always knew that the hero gate was in the high-level of Yongzhou, that is, Zheng Xiaoyue was still reasonable, and gave a little face, and came one after another, or sent people to participate in the banquet.

Tianxiang Building

After the guests arrived, everyone chattered with each other, the wine passed three rounds, and the atmosphere was a little warmer, at this time Zheng Xiaoyue raised his glass: "You can come, Zheng is still very happy, the businessman is not angry, although at present, our hero door is new to the Central Plains, and the act is a little reckless, but the cooperation with you is still very sincere, in the future, the power of the hero gate will expand, and your income will also increase, why should you evacuate for the sake of a little unpleasantness now?" It's not good for either of us, we have less supplies, and you have less money to make."

Shopkeeper Liu of the Heluo Chamber of Commerce responded: "Master Zheng has always been a person, we admire, is a reasonable person, if your disciples are like this Lord Zheng, we will naturally not have money not to earn, right, the land of Yongzhou, although it is not how rich the property is, but it is also a passage through the outside of the customs, just the materials of internal and external transportation, we can make a lot of money, so at this time Tianjian Villa at this time, we have already set up shops here." ”

The shopkeepers around said yes. Seeing everyone's support, Shopkeeper Liu continued: "Originally, we are a businessman, and we have no interest in the dispute between the court and the martial arts sect, whether you are a hero or a master, or a Tianjian Villa, we are just doing business, but just now the Zheng Sect Master also said well, we do business, we do business, we do not seek wealth, the business house sent me here, after all, it is to ask for money, but now, the situation here is in chaos, and what the Zheng Sect Lord said, we are only seeking gas here, but not wealth." ”

The shopkeeper Chen of the Xishan Club also interjected: " That's right, shopkeeper Liu said well, now we transport the goods, just the loss on the road, almost half of it, lucky to arrive safely, put into the shop, often run in a few Hu people, take it and leave, good temper casually put down something, bad temper directly pull out fists, if the master of Zheng has a heart, look at what is in the warehouse of my shop, a bunch of rags, last month I also came in thousands of taels of goods, now get these so-called goods, even if it is converted into silver taels, it is less than a hundred taels. The clerk has been injured more than a dozen, do you think I'm asking for money or anger?"

Representatives of the rest of the merchants said that their shops were in a similar situation, either they were robbed on the road, and even if they went to the city, they were often taken away and could not receive money.

Zheng Xiaoyue also knew that his disciples had looted behaviors, but he thought that he occasionally went out to rob, if it was not serious, he could also push it on the heads of horse bandits and robbers, and he didn't expect that the goods transported by major trading houses were robbed as high as fifty percent, and even if they arrived in the city, they could not trade normally, looting was still a trivial matter, and if it was profitable, there were always merchants who were willing to pay a lot of money to ask someone to escort them, but when they arrived in the city, they couldn't trade normally, which completely broke the psychological expectations of merchants.

The Hero Gate is not short of money, those who can enter the Hero Gate to learn art have a lot of net worth outside the gate, but these disciples don't seem to have developed the habit of buying things and giving money, and they think that since Tianjian Mountain has been laid, then all the things in this land belong to the Hero Gate. Wasn't it the same in the shops in the area of Sword Mountain that day?

Zheng Xiaoyue had to come forward again: "Don't worry, the hero door is just a matter of custom conflict, not no money, the hero door is not short of money, as long as the shopkeeper lists the loss of goods, I, Zheng Xiaoyue, will pay off one by one on behalf of the hero door, and will not let everyone have losses." ”

The master of the Jujin Chamber of Commerce smiled and stood up and said: "We have all seen the sincerity of the Zheng Sect Master, but the business is not like this, we can't let us come over and be robbed once every time, and then go to the Zheng Men Lord to compensate, this kind of transaction is not long-lasting, not to mention that once a transaction, we have to be prepared to pay a few lives, and our Jujin Chamber of Commerce can't do it." We won't stay until the Zheng Sect Master restricts the subordinates, but I have a suggestion, the Zheng Sect Master can set aside an area, send cronies to guard it, and your people will collect the details of the needs of his subordinates, trade with us, and then distribute it to others, so that although it is a little troublesome, we will also make a little less money, at least it is a good start, as for the risks on the road, hehe, as long as the price is right, everyone will also invite the dart bureau to escort, it depends on the ability, but before the Zheng Men Lord arranges, we still have to leave first, and now in this Yongzhou area, there is no soil for doing business at all, businessmen, and businessmen's self-esteem, That is the rule, the contract, if the hero door still acts like this, don't say that we will withdraw, the Chamber of Commerce in the Central Plains, I am afraid that I will no longer be willing to do business with you, and the people outside your customs will have a problem with the demand for salt and iron tea. ”

Shopkeeper Liu and the others also said that their shops could no longer be opened, and no one was willing to come, so they had to wait for Zheng Xiaoyue to sort out everything and deal with the disciples who committed the crime, and the merchants had a sense of security, and then sent people to enter the transaction. The suggestion of the head of the Jujin Chamber of Commerce can be tried, but it is not a matter of a day or two to wait for Zheng Xiaoyue to arrange everything, and sincerity is not just a matter of talking, it still depends on Zheng Xiaoyue's actions.

I didn't expect things to be like this, Zheng Xiaoyue was not prepared for a while, and he couldn't come up with a countermeasure to cooperate with the Chamber of Commerce, so he could only watch the businessmen one by one, following behind the head of Jujin Commercial Bank Ma, and leaving Tianxiang Building.

"I didn't expect the situation to be much worse than I imagined, it's not a matter of withdrawing business, it's the Chamber of Commerce that has begun to hate our heroes." Zheng Xiaoyue didn't expect the situation to be so bad, there was no way, he could only use the plan of the horse master, build a fixed trading point, and arrange heavy troops to defend, but the business house did not come, and all the construction materials had to be made from the rear by themselves, and it also took a certain amount of time to sort out. This wasted time could have been used to enter the Central Plains in a big way, if Master Situ knew that his plan to enter the Central Plains was delayed by a small amount of money, I don't know what kind of look would be on his face.

However, people are in different positions, and they look at things from different angles, Zheng Xiaoyue is dedicated to planning for the Hero Gate, but the disciples under the Hero Gate do not appreciate it, because it has violated their vested interests.

"Grandma's, that Zheng Xiaoyue, relying on the trust of the door owner, actually helped those businessmen to suppress us, and I don't know which side of the ass is sitting. Mo Kefei said that he couldn't understand Zheng Xiaoyue's approach at all, didn't he just rob a few caravans and go to the shops to get a few things that could be used, but a lot of people died when attacking Tianjian Mountain, and after the victory, he couldn't enjoy some privileges? whispered to a group of businessmen, and also punished many disciples.

It's okay to punish others, even his own people, Zheng Xiaoyue dared to move, thinking that day, if it wasn't for a person who came out of the Demon Sect and the righteous qimen, maybe he would have become Situ Ba's closed disciple and son-in-law. The second generation of the tribe like Mo Kefei naturally has less to do and do a lot of things, and a few of his subordinates were taken by Zheng Xiaoyue and set an example, and he was helpless in his heart.

You don't allow you to punish my people? You don't give me face? Then I won't give you face, and the more you don't let me do something, the more I, the more, yes, want, do. Mo Kefei left Heavenly Sword Mountain angrily. (To be continued.) )
