Chapter 235: Rapid Expansion
Back in the Chamber of Commerce, the brothers sat down together again, and told in detail what happened tonight without concealment. Everyone fell silent for a while, and everyone knew that the meaning of the imperial court was the meaning of the Holy Decree today, which was so easy to refuse.
The emperor of heaven and earth is the greatest, and the whole world is not the king's land, and what awaits them against the emperor's will is the end of raiding the family and exterminating the clan.
Banyun looked at everyone and said slowly: "It's really not good, I'll take people back to the main altar of the Ming Sect, where the imperial court must have no way to deal with me easily." Wait for the limelight to pass and then find a way to come back. ”
"You're thinking too simply!" Jiang Yuan shook his head: "Let's not say that once you return to Mingjiao, it will be equivalent to standing on the opposite side of the imperial court, and they may not hesitate to attack you." It's just that I don't know how many eyeliners are watching your every move now, it's a long way from here to Persia, and the court won't give you a chance to return. The slightest move on your part awaits you in an endless pursuit. ”
Well, Feng Cheng also nodded: "On the way back, I had a feeling of being spied on, presumably we were already being targeted." But if Brother Yun decides to leave, I think we still have a chance to escape, and of course we will definitely pay a certain price. “
Liu Xing smiled: "You are a little pessimistic. Everything should be considered from two aspects, and cooperation with the imperial court is not without benefits. ”
"We are not at all on the same level as the Sky Wolf Gang and the Oriental Family, and there is almost no hope of success if we want to face them independently. But with the support of the imperial court, there is great hope, and the imperial court can use us to achieve our goals. ”
And if it is really as analyzed by the clouds, the current saint is related to the death of his father. This is also the only opportunity to get in touch with Zhu Yuanzhang. We can use this time to calmly arrange a way out. Successful escape is also a bit more likely. ”
"Brother Liu Xing means that you want me to agree to cooperate with the imperial court?" asked Yun in confusion.
"It's not full cooperation, it's hypocrisy. With the help of the power of the imperial court, he first dealt with the Heavenly Wolf Gang and the Eastern Family. In the current situation, whether it is the imperial court or the hostile forces, we have no ability to fight alone. The best way to do this is to unite one side against the other first. ”
"The contradictions between us and the Heavenly Wolf Gang and the Dongfang Family are basically irreconcilable, and the imperial court is a good partner to work with. If we can successfully use the power of the imperial court to destroy the enemy in front of us, it will become a one-line battle, and we will have a greater certainty, and the chances of fighting or fleeing will be greater when the time comes. ”
After listening to Liu Xing's words, Yun Yun also fell into deep thought. Liu Xing is reasonable, the strength of the Brother Chamber of Commerce is weak, and there is no chance of survival under the attack of the two parties, if you can use the power of the imperial court to level Lei Zhen and Dongfang Aotian first, then the Brother Chamber of Commerce will not have the strength to fight. Even if you want to get out, there are many fewer obstacles.
Seeing his intentions, Jiang Yuan continued: "If we decide to cooperate, we will open our mouths and ask for enough benefits first." Try to avoid risks, develop yourself, and then you will have enough confidence to be strong. I think that if the imperial court really supports you, these conditions will not be difficult for them, and they can also test their bottom line and sincerity. ”
"These days, I will sort out the resources left by Mingjiao, monetize the idle and useless industries as much as possible, and gradually transfer assets outward. You send people to contact the left envoy and Yokota respectively, leaving a few more ways to retreat. The Oe Gang has them ready to respond at any time. Inform Zhang Bao to let him move closer to Haozhou. Suspend the cooperation with the Five Poisons Sect, and let the Blue Sect Leader and his old man keep a low profile, and it is best to stay out of the matter. so as not to harm the fish in the pond. Interview Tang Yifan, increase the intensity of cooperation with the Tang Sect, and involve them in the more chaotic the situation, the more beneficial it will be to us......"
"Although, even if we join forces with the imperial court, there will not be much change in the short term. But since you have decided to do it, you must take precautions, and you must take the initiative into your own hands. Our brothers work together to break the gold, even if we fail in the end, it will not be in vain to go back in this world......"
Looking at the concerned and high-spirited eyes of the brothers, Yun Yun nodded warmly in his heart......
That night, orders were sent to all directions through various channels, and everyone was busy preparing according to their plans.
Seven days later, the crown came to the door again. This time, Yun did not hesitate too much to agree to his request, and put forward his own conditions while the iron was hot.
First of all, the brother chamber of commerce needs to grow rapidly to have the ability to protect itself and even compete for hegemony. At Jiang Yuan's behest, Yun asked the imperial court to grant a number of rights to operate the goods that had been controlled by the government. Such as salt, iron and other scarce resources. And open a number of official docks to facilitate the Chamber of Commerce to enter and exit to transport goods.
Secondly, independent control is required in the management and operation of the chamber of commerce, and the imperial court is not allowed to install eyeliners. Of course, the Chamber of Commerce will also obey the arrangements of the imperial court and cooperate with the actions of Jinyiwei to achieve the same pace. Moreover, for security reasons, the Chamber of Commerce asked the government to relax restrictions on contraband and purchase weapons with great lethality, such as bows and crossbows, gunpowder, etc.
In the end, Yun hoped to weaken the strength of the Sky Wolf Gang as much as possible through this crackdown, and it was not realistic to eradicate Lei Zhen, but at least it would make him break his bones......
Wang Mian thought about the request for the cloud for a while, and agreed after revising a few details. Obviously, the imperial court has long considered that since it wants to support the cloud, it will inevitably allow him to develop rapidly, and the requirements of the cloud have not touched the bottom line of the imperial court. After discussing the relevant matters, Wang Mian left satisfied.
Then, Jiang Yuan sold a lot of resources gifted by the Ming Sect to Tang Yifan, which he was temporarily unable to control. Tang Yifan was very happy, and accepted it all without even telling the price. After all, this move has benefited his line a lot.
At this time, the official document of the imperial court opening several scarce commodities was also issued, and the brother chamber of commerce immediately used funds to purchase and send them to various places in large quantities. Within a month, it earned several times the profit, the snowball was getting bigger and bigger, and today's chamber of commerce is developing rapidly in the direction of a business empire.
Next, there were major events spread all over the rivers and lakes, and the government intensified its crackdown on the forces in Jiangbei, and the Sky Wolf Gang bore the brunt of the seizure of most of the industries, and its strength shrank sharply. Lei Zhen still has no news, and the entire Jiangbei Group is a mess without a leader......
But unexpectedly, the Jiangnan Business Alliance also shrank and did not take the opportunity to fall into the ground. Dongfang Aotian's sense of smell is very sensitive, and the changes in these days have made him immediately smell the smell of conspiracy. The abnormality of the imperial court and the rapid development of the fraternal chamber of commerce are obviously not normal. So he began to shrink his forces back and suspended high-risk business, even in the part of the business that crossed with the brother chamber of commerce. The Shura Gang withdrew from Haozhou overnight......
Although this move puzzled everyone, the decision of the Shang Alliance was very accurate, and the forces within the Shang Alliance followed suit.
Tang Men, who is also a business giant, also adopted a wait-and-see attitude, Tang Jianhao restrained his subordinates from clash with the Brother Chamber of Commerce, and even canceled all the actions against the Five Poison Sect......
As a result, no one could stop the brother chamber of commerce from expanding outward. (To be continued......)
