Chapter 2068: Five Great Families

Straightforwardly, I guess these guys don't have that much courage, but they understand how to deal with the merchants of the Southern Empire here. Isn't your Cao's firm powerful? Don't you have your own warship for you to watch, so we won't look for you things, but we can deal with the ones that buy from you, can't we? You can't even take care of them together, can you? That's impossible, you don't have that ability, we can see it clearly, as long as you sell your goods, you don't have any worries, no, these dozen black-hearted merchants This will hire about thousands of bandits, and they will be waiting in a remote place to start. Naturally, they dare not touch the business of the big chambers of commerce in the Southern Empire, and these small chambers of commerce don't need to think about it. , They are also united by a county.

These people also have their own ideas. As long as they have robbed a few times, they probably won't dare to come to this place to buy goods. When the time comes to do some good market research, they can transport these goods there. While going to sell, of course, at that time, my own goods can be regarded as a monopoly. The people at the top can ask for a relatively low price from the people in the Cao's firm, and the bottom can ask for a high price from those stupid guys. Those who come and go will pay a few million more silver. Why not do such a thing? Although there are many people who hire these bandits, most of them are ordinary people. It came out in the form of hundreds of thousands, and they also knew that there would be many guards in those chambers of commerce, but they also had armed forces themselves. It is absolutely possible for the masters in my own family to deal with the masters of others, and the ordinary people hired will naturally deal with those ordinary people. It's good, if I don't do such a thing, I will be sorry for myself. When I master a large-scale sales terminal, the Cao's firm will have to talk to me well. It's not the same as it is now. Lao Tzu bought goods worth tens of millions of silver. The person in charge didn't even come out to talk to him.

In fact, it can't be blamed that the people in Cao's House didn't regard him as a god. Most of the people who come here to buy goods today are hundreds of millions or hundreds of millions. Are you a big customer with tens of millions? It would be nice if a few guys come over to greet you, you really treat yourself like a uncle. Usually when you go out to buy something, people have to treat themselves as uncles. At this moment, no one of any importance came out to talk to me. This self-esteem is also very hurt, but when you think that if you can control a large area of ​​​​terminals, you will understand what is going on one by one. There are times when you beg Lao Tzu hard.

This Changfeng firm is a small firm in the northern part of the Southern Empire. Although it has been established for 70 years, it is just a few counties and cities around it. It can make my family eat well and reconcile well. This time I can get the news that my family is lucky. I didn’t bring a lot of money here, a full three million silver, although It's not a big sum, but if the things on the car are shipped back, it will cost more than 10 million silver. Even if some expenses in the middle are even removed, the family can still earn two or three dollars. double the profit, if the sale is good, it may be able to reach 10 million taels of silver, all of this is possible, the current business is very difficult, and it is rare to hear such a high-profit transaction up.

Before Cao's House, they already got out part of the goods list,

I just hope that these people can all come over. When there are more people, it will be easier to sell your goods. If there are fewer people, there may be bargaining. Now we are all one-off prices. If you want to return For the price, I’m sorry for you, didn’t you see that there are so many people behind, if you continue to mutter here, I really won’t give it to you, there are people who want to buy it later.

Changfeng Commercial Bank also understands this point. When they came, they started to purchase some things. Although they came with millions of silver, in the end it was just two or three carts of things. There were not many at all. Like the purple gold of the Eastern Empire, this thing is a special product of the Eastern Empire. If you put a little bit of it on the weapon with your finger when making weapons, it can make your weapon ten times stronger. It is definitely the best thing. I heard that the price in the Eastern Empire is also very expensive. A tael of one hundred taels of platinum is worth ten thousand taels of silver, but what about in the Southern Empire? There is no such thing at all. Someone saw it a few years ago. One or two would not be sold for 1.5 million taels of silver. The distance between the Southern Empire and the Eastern Empire is too far. It took more than two years, and I don’t know much about the route. If you are on land, unless you cross the Warcraft Mountains, otherwise it is simply impossible. It is possible to travel for five or eight years. It is possible to double the value hundreds of times.

Today they came here to buy two taels. This thing is held next to the big shopkeeper. The price is only one tael of 800,000 taels of silver. It can be said to be very cheap. As long as it is taken back, it is 1.8 million taels There is no problem with the money, I have already found a buyer, in fact, it would be the safest thing to spend 300,000 taels of silver to have the airship of Cao's Commercial Bank transport it back, but wealth and wealth are in danger, they are far away from here The distance is only four months, and there is no rush to use it there. Why can't I take it back? If this is the case, wouldn't it be possible to earn an extra two hundred thousand taels of silver? Everyone understands such things. The shopkeeper also hesitated for a long time at the airship of Cao's House after the incident, and finally chose to take these things back by himself. Not everyone can bear the temptation of 300,000 taels of silver.

He felt that he had made a lot of money, but when he saw the plate from Cao's House, everyone was still dumbfounded, and he only bought two taels here. But what about them, they brought hundreds of tons, good guy, I saw the scene very clearly at that time, some big families directly wanted tons by tons, and I don’t know where those people came from. A lot of money, Cao's House estimated that 8,000 taels of silver can be obtained from the Eastern Empire, and the profit has been doubled by 100 times when it comes here. If you go back, you can earn a lot of money. You can also make a lot of money yourself. Adding in some other goods, this time my net profit definitely exceeded 8 million taels of silver. This master promised me when he came, and 5% of it was my own. This is 400,000 taels of silver. This silver is definitely a lot. The three sons in the family are already married, and the eldest grandson will soon be called a wife. With this money, they can manage decently.

Although the three sons already have the reputation of a scholar. But if you don’t have the money to go up and clear it up, I guess there is still no good seat for them. Besides, finding a master who understands something requires money. With this money, I will give 20,000 taels of silver to each of the three sons. Go to the provincial capital for some activities, see if you can find a better teacher, and then use 70,000 taels of silver to buy 10,000 mu of land for the eldest grandson, which can be regarded as being a grandfather who has bought him a family business. With these lands in the future, if the year is good, there will be an income of four to five thousand taels of silver every year. After that, the two of them will live a very good life. If this kid can give himself a little bit of confidence, he will be the fourth generation. We are in the same house, this thing is really beautiful, we have been messing around all our lives, isn’t that what it is, the children and grandchildren are all well, it’s because we are convinced, the big shopkeeper is about to laugh out loud now Of course, the premise is that nothing happened on the way to escort this time. In fact, there is nothing to worry about. This is all through the pipeline. There were many bandits in the past, but now there should be none. A while ago, the imperial court’s crackdown on the Black Potion Apothecary dealt with all those bandits. The road was safe, but it’s better to be careful.

"Boss shopkeeper, why are you so happy? I saw you happy all the way, are we going to make a lot of money with our goods? Can you give us two more months' wages when we go back?" Niu Er, the shopkeeper's carriage driver, said, this guy can be regarded as one of his own nephews. This guy's father left early, and a widow brought him up. If he didn't take care of him, he would be so careless. I don't know what will happen. When this guy first came here, he called me an uncle. I told him to change it several times before I realized that he should be called the shopkeeper when he was outside.

Why did you forget about this kid? After all, he is not his own son, but he has to take good care of him. It is not easy for his mother to pull him. If the uncle doesn't take good care of him, he will There is no way to do it these days. They are all in their twenties, and they don’t even have a daughter-in-law. I have to ask a matchmaker to look for it when I go back, and take out 500 taels of silver to give this kid a good deal. , Absolutely, the heart of this shopkeeper is still very good, you must know that in the countryside, a few dozen taels of silver can be said to be a good wife, and five hundred taels of silver can be regarded as a conscience for your own nephew. The guy is not just this uncle, and other uncles don't necessarily take care of him, just because he followed him since he was a child, so he just needs to take care of him more, and he never gives the monthly money to this kid. Give it to his mother, because his mind is not very clear, and the monthly money for food and housing is only one or two taels of silver. Wealthy, but definitely not hungry for his wife.

When everyone heard this guy talking about the monthly money, even though they were still walking, they all pricked up their ears. If it was necessary in the past, they would have scolded their nephew. , but now there are so many people, and I'm in a good mood, seeing this kid is much more pleasing to the eye than before. This is about to hit the road, and it is right to give these people a little bit of sweetness. You can't feed them by yourself There is nothing, those third-level fighters are not in charge of themselves, their money is given by the master, but these hundred or ten ordinary people are in charge of themselves, and they all pay their salaries.

"You boy, you only know about the monthly money, and you haven't gone back yet. We have gained a lot this time, but you all have to seal your mouths to me, or else don't talk about the monthly money." It’s money, and it’s not certain whether you can keep your heads.” The big butler came up first and said to these people, and the expressions of each of them changed immediately. The big butler just wanted to scare them. When he saw them I am very satisfied with the current appearance, and then said, "Okay, you all know the other things, and I won't say more. The boss told us before leaving. If everyone goes back safely, I will give three more Monthly money, half a month's vacation, and go back to work if you have something to do. I'm adding a month to you. It's my personal gift to you." The words of the big housekeeper directly made these guys cheer Woke up. But thinking that this is still a pipeline, he was naturally happy for a little bit, and that kid was also very happy. You can have three taels of silver at once, and you can do a lot of things when you go back.

"You boy, don't talk nonsense on the road in the future. After I go back, I think that I have to find a wife for you. You are a good material for living. You are not too young. Your mother also told your aunt several times. Yes, our men will take care of this matter in half a month after going back. It just so happens that your nephew is also going to have a happy event. I'm gone, if you can't even marry a daughter-in-law, why would I go to your old man, although your old man is gone, but there are still us uncles, so I can't ask you to be a bachelor. Let the matchmaker in the village find a wife for you for fifty taels of silver, and you’ll have to find a wife anyway.” The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said, looking for a wife is just like fighting, it’s not such a beautiful thing.

Although this guy's brain is not very good, his eyes are still a little red when he heard that his father died. The father in my memory was very kind to me when I was young. Later, because he went hunting in the mountains, he seemed to be killed by something. After I ate it, I lived with this clan uncle. This uncle is not bad. He always takes me with me when he does everything. I don’t have to think about unnecessary things. I work every day when I open my eyes, and I go to bed when the time comes. , I don’t have to take care of the money, I don’t have to take care of it myself, the clothes and shoes are ready-made, and these things are arranged by the uncle of the clan. He doesn’t even have a memory of marrying a wife, but it’s usually considered After hearing a lot, I knew it was a good thing, and I should have a daughter-in-law.

Just when the two men were thinking about the future, the carriage in front of them stopped suddenly. They were really afraid of coming. The big shopkeeper clicked and bumped his head. This kid hurried over to help him up, good guy, This touch is not clear, there is a little bulge on the head.

"Boss shopkeeper, it's not good, I met a hero in front." A guy in the car in front hurried over and said, this hero is a respectful title for the bandits, and these bandits are also people who want to save face. You always You can't be called a bandit in front of others, right?

What? I haven't heard of any bandits on this road. If he knows all the bandits who are here often, it's best to get rid of them. Just pay a little money and it's over. We should still give money for the road. What I am most afraid of is this kind of mobile crime. If we are really robbed, no one will be able to find it when the time comes. The shopkeeper vigorously stuffed the things in his arms and looked at the guard commander behind him. , it's beyond my control when something like this happens.

Several guards also glanced at each other. Among them were two third-level fighters, two second-level fighters, and five first-level fighters. In Li Cong's view, their lineup was simply rubbish, no more rubbish Yes, but for a caravan in a county, this is already a very important thing. For them, these people are their patron saints. Seeing their calm past, these guys are also very worried I have a bottom, I hope it can be the same as when I came here, just throw out a little silver and let myself pass. They threw out nearly 100,000 silver on the way to get here, but they haven't gone far yet. I met it, it seems that I must spend more money on the way back.

"Everyone, we are all businessmen from afar, and we don't have any money on us. We just have a few goods. I hope you will show kindness and let us go there. The 3,000 taels of silver are considered to be used by us to drink for you heroes." Level 3 The soldier went out and said, while talking, he was also looking at the other party's troops, which could be seen from his position. The strength of the opponent is slightly stronger, but it is not much stronger than them. If you really fight hard, you may not be able to win. Just hurry up and talk now.

The bandit leader here greedily glanced at the money in that guy's hand. This is the money printed by the Cao's House. The robbery is different now. The silver was taken away, but now I don't need it very much. Just take it and go. In the past, I was just a low-level bandit. It’s not embarrassing enough for a second-level fighter to say it. He could only rob a caravan guarded by ordinary people. In the past, a caravan guarded by a third-level fighter was Say nothing and won't go. Don't you want your own head? But a few days ago, someone hired them as a bandit for 30,000 taels of silver. It is to let them block these merchants on this road, most of them are merchants who came from the location of Cao's Commercial Bank, which is finally found now. Although he was the first one, but after looking at the hidden masters over there, he is quite confident. If someone had offered 3,000 taels of silver to tell them to fuck off, he would definitely have taken it away immediately. Yes, now there are masters backing me up, but the people over there said that after the robbery is completed, there are still 20,000 taels of silver. If you are full, don’t you want the 20,000 taels of silver to ask you for the 3,000 taels of silver?

"Small fuck nonsense, grandpas just fell in love with your goods today. If you are sensible, you should quickly throw away your things and leave. We are not interested in your people. If there are women, maybe we will do it. , It’s all about the words of the old men, we are not that interested, we all get out of here quickly, if you still stay here and talk nonsense, don’t blame the guys in the hands of the grandfathers for not knowing you, when the time comes you will not be able to leave even if you want to. "The bandit leader stood up and said arrogantly. The people of Changfeng Trading Company over there were also dumbfounded. Why did a second-level soldier speak so loudly? Can't you see that our side is a third-level soldier? There is something wrong with his eyes There is still something wrong with his head. His words made many people in the Changfeng Commercial Firm feel uncomfortable, but the guards in the firm were a little nervous. Since the other party is still not afraid when they see him, does this mean that they have more powerful people under their command? It seems that there are two situations today. One is that there are more powerful people behind this guy, but those people don't bother to talk to him. The other is that this guy is acting, and there are no masters behind him at all. , just want to rely on such blackmail to live.

"My good man, everyone is messing around in the rivers and lakes. There is no need to make things so bad. If there is anything wrong with us, you can just point us out. 3000 taels of silver is really not enough Now, I don’t know how about 10,000 taels of silver. If it’s possible, you can help me. If it’s not enough, you can tell me a number and we can discuss it slowly.” With such a trace of politeness, this made the bandit leader on the opposite side even more rampant, and I felt in my heart that you just didn't dare to go up.

"Is 10,000 taels a lot? Look at my thousands of brothers. Each of them has paid a lot for the money in your hands. If I just take the 10,000 taels back, I will feel sorry for these brothers. Yes, you all listen carefully, we don’t want anything this time, we just want the goods in your car, if you are willing to throw them away, everything is easy to talk about, and we won’t hurt anyone, but if If you don't do that, I'm afraid things will be a bit..." The guy said with his neck crossed, this feeling is really comfortable, in the past, when we met someone who was stronger than us, we all lowered our heads and talked in a low voice, so we were afraid I know how to offend people, but it seems that I don't need it now, that guy doesn't have much ability.

What they wanted was all the goods. The big shopkeeper touched the most important goods in his arms. If they directly wanted the goods on the cart, he would just give them them. The things in his arms were more important than his own life. If it is valuable, these things should never be given to this guy. Sometimes news is the most precious thing.

"Since this is the case, brothers will not give us face. We brothers have not exercised our bodies for a long time. If you are willing, you can come up. Let's see what you have, don't just It’s just a false name.” A few guards said that they had already taken out their weapons, and this kind of thing directly scared most people. They have never seen a battlefield, so naturally they are right. There is nothing to understand about the war, which requires the opponent to be inlaid from the small gate, and the gate of the city must never be opened. Your forefoot is open. We can go in with our hind feet, which is a pity for anyone who defends the city, we can only retreat slowly.

When it was time to do something, the bandits naturally didn't have that ability, and they all looked at the guys behind them. When these guys come out. The people of Changfeng Trading Company naturally knew that this matter was not that simple. First of all, let's not say anything else, just say that the fourth-level fighter can sweep them away. They have never encountered such a thing before. The big shopkeeper is not a fool, there must be something wrong here, this fourth-level fighter came out to be a bandit? There must be many people who don't believe it. How is such a thing possible? If all of these people are like this, how many bandits will there be in the world? The shopkeeper began to think about it slowly.

In the past, when they transported goods, they did not encounter such powerful bandits. That is to say, these bandits did not come for their people. Although Changfeng Trading Company is not a century-old store, it will not offend these people in the world outside. These people are all so vicious, and you can’t hide from them when you see them. Who would provoke them? In one, we walked here when we came. There are no bandits, and there are no bandits. That is to say, these bandits are newcomers, and they are interested in their goods. Their goods are all traded in secret. Those who know this are probably the people of Cao's House of Commerce. Could it be that the people of Cao's House of Trade want to Black eat black? Get rid of them looting these goods, and then do this transaction again next month? Let more people come? In this way, it seems that this is the kind of business that Cao's House is doing. Otherwise, how could it be possible to get those goods from the Eastern Empire in a month? This speed is really a bit fast, which is really sinister. Be careful, seeing that they are buying some local products of the Northern Empire in a serious manner, this is really a good trick.

Those profiteers want this effect. Of course, they must not kill all the people in Changfeng Trading Company. They must keep one or two. Only in this way can they spread the news. It's not just the big shopkeeper who has figured it out, but many people in the team have basically figured it out. This Cao's firm is really good at calculating. If they do this kind of business, they will definitely make money without losing money, because things like robbery But for business without capital, the big shopkeepers put the things in their hands in their sleeves, and if they really left themselves later, they just handed over these things, what they want may be money , if you really want to kill them all, then I will throw all these powdery things out, so that you can get nothing, no matter how powerful you are, you can’t get back all these particles one by one , want to do this? There are no doors.

"Stop talking nonsense, brothers, give them some strength, and rob them." The bandit leader gave an order, and these people below rushed up. It's not that they haven't robbed before, but this kind of robbery makes them feel very safe. Are there experts? As long as these masters have finished the battle, the people below naturally have no intention of continuing to fight, and the rest will be easy to handle. We just need to deal with the prisoners. Anyone is happy to do such a thing made.

"Guys, the boss is not mean to us. I don't need to tell you about this time. This is the pipeline, and they don't dare to delay too long. As long as we persist, there will always be them." When you are unlucky, hold on." The big shopkeeper took out his own blade with a loud shout, and the people below knew what was going on, and those who were outside every year naturally knew what was going on. Yes, they are all very clear that this is what happens sometimes. A minute ago, they thought about giving themselves an extra two months of salary, but now it’s time again. It’s time to lose their lives. Life is like this .

The people on both sides rushed together immediately, but before the fierce fighting started, they felt something was wrong, as if the earth was trembling. I don't know who said it, it was cavalry, and these bandits immediately started to panic, damn it, cavalry? This is not a joke, how could the cavalry come? The ones with neat steps must be the cavalry of the brigade. The bandits are most afraid of hearing this, even if they meet a master, they are not so afraid, because as long as the master is not magic teacher's words. At most, it can kill one or two people. But if the cavalry of the brigade surrounded themselves, all of them would be forced to run out. People in these troops deal with bandits, especially on such official roads. That is very stable. Don't run away.

Several masters among the bandits glanced at each other. No, they can't be exposed, they didn't wait for the cavalry over there to come. These few people have already got on their horses and left directly, leaving the dumbfound bandit leader, damn it, you people are really..., now is not the time to scold people, he naturally knows how precious time is now Yes, if I continue to be here, I guess I will be a captive material, so hurry up and run away.

Imperial cavalry? Impossible, the closest place to the Imperial Army Camp here must be hundreds of kilometers away, how could those people come out to patrol when they are free? All of them are lazy ducks. Even if you go to report the crime, it depends on whether you are filial. Now that none of the people from Changfeng Trading Co., Ltd. has run out, how can anyone take care of them? These people must It's not the army of the empire. If it's not the army of the empire, it still has such momentum. Who the hell is this guy? The shopkeeper felt suspicious, no matter who they were, anyway, their arrival really saved him, otherwise, this would be a near-death situation today, and his guards are not as powerful as those people's guards. If the blood energy of ordinary people is strong, it will not be of much use, and they will still be looted by them. But this time, I can also see that these brothers under my command are still very good, and none of them will be killed in times of crisis. Run away, this is very good.

"Boss... the big shopkeeper, these people are all from Cao's House. They said they got the news that someone on the road will be unfavorable to the merchants this time, so their cavalry team started to come out, suggesting that we go to the front It will be safer to put some important things back on the airship in the county, or go with the ground convoy in the transportation network of their Cao's House." Just when the shopkeeper was stupefied, his subordinates One of the boys ran over and said, the cavalry from Cao's House didn't stop, just a few people came to explain the situation here, and the eyes of the shopkeeper became even more confused. Is this Cao's House? The people who made it themselves? Is it because they want to earn shipping fees? But then I thought it was definitely not the case. If they really wanted to make money, they would definitely rob themselves directly, and they would never think about earning any shipping fees. Nothing counts, not even a fraction.

The shopkeeper let them go down with a wave of his hand. It seems that the road will not be smooth in the future. It is better to hand over the things to the airship of Cao's House to transport them back. They just brought some not-so-good things, small things It is valuable and small. Although the shipping fee is a bit more expensive, it is definitely useful. They also have to go with the convoy of the Cao's House, which is more or less safe. The people of the Cao's House have guards anyway. I can be regarded as their customers, and we should be given a little protection.

The same thing started to happen on several surrounding pipelines, but the difference is that other places are different from here, and there have been casualties in several other places, and the bandits here know how powerful they are. , ran away directly, and killed more than 4,000 bandits in the other three places. Those bandits knew their fate as soon as they met the cavalry of Cao's House, that is, there was nothing other than being killed. It's really unlucky enough for these guys one by one, but they also understand that the people they want to rob are not very easy to mess with, and they will definitely not take such jobs in the future, and they will go out to take This news was brought out, and it is estimated that the bandits around will not take such jobs in the future.

The few survivors who were caught were also taken back. After they all returned to the city where Wu Zuoxi was located, the torture of Cao's house began. The family's confession came out. It turns out that the activities against the Cao's House were carried out by local snakes in the surrounding provinces. At most, they can be lawless in one province, so when they start They also know how to measure, ordinary people would never provoke them, and they don't have the guts, so one by one, they specifically look for those who dare not do anything to them, for example, some people in remote areas, except No one other than those people dared to do anything, and those big families in the empire would not dare to kill them. There are five families in total, and it sounds easy to read. The five big families Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li, and Chen, Speaking of which, the five major families can be regarded as powerful in the surrounding area. In the past, we were not in trouble with Cao's house, but now that you are here to find trouble, we can't just sit back and ignore it.

Wu Zuoxi never suffers from doing things. Don't say that these guys have provoked him. Even if it is a potential threat, this guy will kill them. He has done such things many times. Wang Quantai originally wanted to follow him. These people had a good talk, but Wu Zuoxi did not adopt his approach. This guy is a little bookish. In the mall, sometimes it is better to grab it by Ming Daoming than some conspiracies and tricks, just like now At this time, what should be done should be done. If you don’t do that, such things will happen again in the future. Although I am not afraid of these small people, it can always bring some troubles to my business. , as such a thing must be resolved.

"They must admit their mistakes in front of the fist. I will kill half of the people in these five families. If you are less than this number, you don't need to come back. No matter whether they are in the headquarters or in the branch, they will be raised for thousands of days. It’s time to use soldiers, now it’s time for the chamber of commerce to use you, let go of your compassion, think about the food and drink you eat every day, these are given to you by the chamber of commerce, these people just want to ruin your good day, so I I want you to end this honestly.” (To be continued..)
