The Second Thousand and Sixty-Nine Days of Genius War

Wu Zuoxi told these guys that when he was leaving, and they all walked out silently. They killed a lot, but it was the first time for ordinary businessmen to do it. Many times they felt a little bit burdened. Feel guilty, but what Wu Zuoxi wants is a knife from the chamber of commerce, and you don't need how clever your brains are at this time.

The first thing to kill is the most powerful one among the five big families. This is not the time to squeeze the persimmons. Since we are going to kill you, it is natural to do it with great fanfare. The Zhao family is considered a good family in the eastern coastal area of ​​the Southern Empire. , the family is developed in both political and economic aspects. Although there was a third-rank official in the court of the Southern Empire, he was a Beijing official. The structure of the courts of the Southern Empire and the Eastern Empire is basically the same. It is not uncommon for a third-rank official or chief secretary to appear in a local area, because there are many such officials, and there are no more than two or three thousand in the entire empire. The rights of such officials are also very limited, basically You have rights on your own one-acre three-point land, and no one cares what you do when you leave this land boundary. This Beijing official is completely different. There are at most a hundred third-rank officials in this Beijing official. There are two to three thousand people in the entire empire, which is a ratio of one-thirtieth, and the Zhao family's capital official is also the chief minister of the capital's internal affairs office. Is such a person an ordinary person? Although the rank is not as good as the six ministers, but the emperor's close ministers, if not someone the emperor trusts, probably would not have come to this position. Naturally, this person is Jane in the Sacred Heart. Do you want to continue in this position without the support of the emperor? That is absolutely impossible, but the Zhao family has been the chief minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for 70 years. He has been in this position for decades since he was a small and unpopular guy in that year. How could it be possible if he didn't have his own ability, and his family naturally didn't belong to ordinary people.

Although the most powerful member of the Zhao family is in the capital, none of the Zhao family is in the capital, and all of them are in the southern coastal area. Because of the orders of the chief executive who went out of their family, everyone in the family, old and young, knows what to do. , usually do things as low-key as possible. I can't do some early things by myself. But they also understand the truth that the tree attracts the wind, even if they deliberately avoid certain things, this thing will come to the door, let alone. Decades have passed. The master manager never came back once. Now the family is not the same as it used to be, and the old people in the family are no longer in charge of the family affairs, and the new young people wish they could become a big family in the southern part of the Southern Empire. Naturally, they will not stay within the scope of a county town honestly. They have started their own expansion, and there are also a few young people who are well educated at home, and their brains are also very good. The head of the capital city said that these guys have become the city lords of the Southern Empire. Just kidding, if a minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs can't arrange a good place for a few outstanding juniors in his family, then that's it. It's strange, although the chief executive feels that this matter is a bit big, but who is not happy to see the outstanding young people in his family"? Are all fools happy?

Just like that, the power of the Zhao family began to spread to more than a dozen counties. At least in terms of business, they are very powerful. The trading house is considered the boss in this area. I can't bear the fact that several other in-laws are letting me stand out, and there are more masters in the Zhao family.

If the Zhao family didn't make a move, the other companies would feel that the possibility of success is not very different. Besides, some people in the Zhao family are really interested in this profit. If this business can be monopolized, then But it’s not about the profit of 100 million taels of silver every year. It may be as much as a month or even a week. With enough money, there will be enough masters and talents. The development is also the best. Thinking of this, the Zhao family started such an action.

Unexpectedly, in the first two days, several places spread the news that the several groups of people who went out from the Zhao family were all killed, and the people in power in their family all raised their hearts to their throats Eyes, mother, did the people from the Cao's firm react a little too quickly? People, did you leak the news from your side? If this is the case, failure is a very normal thing. These bastards must have told the news when they were drinking or doing something. Although they were a little uncomfortable, they didn’t feel too scared. The area of ​​the Cao's House of Commerce is already hundreds of kilometers away, and this is not their sphere of influence. At most, they will not trade with them in the future, but how could the Zhao family, as a local local snake, not get what they want? As for the goods, those merchants from other places need to come here to worship the mountains as long as they don’t want the families of the nobles of the imperial court, and it’s the same when they get them.

"Old Master, what should we do now? The people from Cao's House have already sent a message. If we don't reply to them before dark, we will have a hard time." A middle-aged man looked like The guy said, sitting on this seat is the patriarch of the Zhao family. Even the chief minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the capital must call him uncle. Not only is he very senior, but his brain is also very useful. Of course Yes, the most important thing is to be born in the direct line. If there is no such thing, everything else is useless. No matter how high the ability of the concubine is, it is useless. The family just needs you.

"What are you panicking about? The Cao's House has scared you so much that you don't know what to do? How have I taught you for so many years? The first thing you need to do when encountering a problem is to calm down. What's wrong with Cao's House? Is it even better in the coastal areas? They also have a few cities in the inland areas of our Southern Empire. But what kind of waves can those few cities make? What effect can it have on us? It's our territory, don't they dare to come here? In the past few years, our Zhao family has tens of thousands of guards. In addition to our own people, there are also tens of thousands of troops from the imperial court around here. They dare to come with us Hard? That’s asking for trouble. If it’s other aspects, why should we be afraid of them? What have they said?” The old man was not panicked at all, although he didn’t agree with it at first. What do you want to do to the people of Cao's House, but the work has already been done. It's pointless to say anything else now. It's better to prepare like this.

"Yes, yes, what the old man said is that the people in Cao's House of Commerce can't do anything to us, but now this matter is a bit tricky. Although what the old man said is the truth, but now the people in Cao's House of Business are indeed wealthy It's powerful. If we can't give them a satisfactory answer, they say they will destroy our Zhao family." This guy said submissively, usually doing things that come from all directions. He was also very energetic when facing the servants, but he didn't look like this now. He just thought of how powerful the people in the Cao's firm were recently rumored in the market, and it was related to his own life, so he was naturally afraid.

"Looking at your ugly face, I really don't know how you have come here these years. Could it be that our Zhao family can be wiped out with your words? The other four major families are not as worried as we are. They The Chen family among them is a purely commercial family, and they are not like you, I really don't know what you are pretending to be in your mind, don't be an eyesore here, and hurry up and say what they are talking about." The old man said impatiently , but the people below still saw some clues. Although the old man kept saying that the people in the Cao's Commercial Bank were not very useful, they still wanted to know the conditions put forward by the people in the Cao's Commercial Bank. He didn't say this in the first time he spoke. If he emphasized something else, he would probably be beaten. This is also the tradition of the old man of the Zhao family. If anyone doesn't like it, whether it is his own son or grandson , Going up is a crutch.

"Yes, yes, old man, they told us that what happened to us in the past few days was done by our people. They are clear about this. What they need now is to give our people Kill them all, if we don't want to do that, it's okay, then we have to give them our property..." At this point, this guy didn't dare to go on.

"How much will you give them?" The old man gave this guy a sideways glance. How could he take a fancy to this guy? He didn't have the guts at all.

"If we give them more than 80% they won't pursue our matter." This guy stiffened his neck and finished, everyone in the room was dumbfounded. The people in Cao's firm are too much, 80% property? What are you kidding, if we do this, we'll be fucked. It took decades for this family to have so many things. Now I'm going to give it to you. Who wants it?

"Fucking fart, these people are fucking whimsical, wanting 80% of our property? Are they still awake? Immediately call me the person who sent the letter from Cao's House, and let them See if we are not easy to mess with." This guy really didn't know how to annoy the old man, this idiot just went to negotiate with him and talked about this?

"Old man, what that person left behind was a letter, and he has already left..." Hearing this, the old man wished he could slap his nephew to death. If you can be a little tougher, it will definitely be better than this.

After the management of the Zhao family settled the old man well, they also knew what the old man thought, but the people in the Cao's firm are indeed very powerful, and they have to be prepared at this time, otherwise, the people in the Cao's firm may I will come directly to give them a fatal blow, and it is not ruled out that the people of Cao's House will do that. Among other things, if they throw a lot of money, there may be desperadoes who will do this. Yes, those people just want money and don't care about anything else.

Everyone in the Zhao family was a little scared when they thought of this place. The members of the Zhao family are pretty good at treating ordinary people. If they offend a big character like the Cao's House, they naturally don't have the guts to do anything to them. Want to stab someone from Cao's House? We don't have that qualification yet, but the people from Cao's House want to cause trouble on their own territory. That's not very possible, and they all know that each of them may not have much ability, that is, just resist a little bit, the people here are not like those brainless young children of the Zhao family outside, He always talks about how powerful his family is, but in fact, it's so powerful, it's enough to scare people in the local area, and no one outside recognizes it.

The Zhao family's worry is definitely justified, because now 90% of the Zhao family members have been targeted by the people of the Cao's house, and it is no problem to destroy the Zhao family. Moreover, Wu Zuoxi had already contacted the chief executive in the capital. There will be absolutely no problems, the relatives and immediate family members of the chief executive will have no problems, and he is not a fool. these years. He is clear about what his own people do. There are plenty of people who bully men and women outside under his banner, and many censors in the court also know about this, so most people already regard this as one of this guy's handles. If you can't get this guy under control, then I really feel sorry for myself. At this time, the chief executive will naturally want a strong man to cut off his wrist. What's the family's business? The family has not given me any help these years Yes, I didn't want them for a long time, but I had to help them out of face. The immediate family members of my family had already been transported to the capital, and the Cao's Commercial Bank gave me a silver note of 500 million silver. I have already signed another document, that is, I will hand over all the Zhao family's property directly to the Cao family business. Although it is worth more than two billion silver, it is not my own. If it is true If they split up, even though they can get the big head, they can't get 500 million silver. Now that they have this silver, they don't care about their lives.

The people of the Zhao family naturally don't know much about this matter. From their point of view, many things still require the chief minister of the capital to give them some advice. Although their contact has been decreasing over the years, this is all It was deliberately done by the Zhao family in the capital city, but they don’t do that here. During festivals and festivals, they always ask people to bring a lot of gifts to the capital city with great fanfare, because they are afraid that others will not know what they are doing. The relationship between the manager and the capital has been said several times, but the people here will still do that, for what reason, this is a fake tiger, if there is no such thing, who would take care of such a thing, Many people would think of doing such a thing.

Now the people of Cao's House are ready to do it, and they are waiting for tonight. At the same time, the other big families are also ready. Wu Zuoxi is going to let them know who they have offended in one night. It's okay if you want to make trouble yourself, but if you robbed me, this is not a trivial matter. You want to do the biggest thing with the smallest price? is it possible? Absolutely impossible, if our Cao's House was made of mud, you would be able to do this. If it wasn't made of mud, you would lose face by doing this, and the price for not giving face would be your whole family. After killing the five of you, those who still have this idea will rest.

What these families have done is not too big to say, but what Wu Zuoxi is afraid of is that someone will imitate it later. If it is really time to take care of it, it will be a bit late. I can't help myself. If I don't care, the government of the Southern Empire will probably take care of this matter.

Originally, Wu Zuoxi wanted to manage this matter personally, but who knew that he got a more important news. The killing god of the Southern Empire had already arrived at his house. He seemed to come to him with something important. This guy can It is said that he is the No. 1 figure who is more powerful than the emperor of the Southern Empire. Of course, I have to meet this guy well.

Killing God's recent days are indeed not very easy. Although he blackmailed the four brothers once in the matter of assassinating Li Cong, it didn't end as easily as he thought. The third of the four brothers was Seriously injured, even other people are also very bad. The high-grade medicine consumed every day is an astronomical figure, but I have told others that I want them to be worshiped for two hundred years. If I know it is like this If he said that, he would never let them do it. It would be his own life, but it would be impossible for him to regret it even if he said those words.

This time they came here for the Jiuzhuan Resurrection Pill, and they had gathered all the materials. Originally, I thought that the matter could be handled from the branch in the capital, but who knew that things would be different this time, the senior management of Cao's House of Merchant had already ordered that such high-level pills could not be accepted casually anywhere. Yes, if you want to do it, you can either go to Li Cong for an interview, or go to a few first-level stewards of Cao's House to do this. The first-level steward in the Southern Empire is Wu Zuoxi, killing the god Naturally, they wanted to come here to find Wu Zuoxi, although Wu Zuoxi was just an ordinary person. But Killing God also knows the origin of this guy. When the Tuoba family of the Western Empire rebelled back then, if Wu Zuoxi had not tried his best to turn the tide, it is estimated that it is not certain who will be the emperor of the Western Empire now, so the killing god has already put this guy in the same position as himself . Before Killing God, he was known for his lack of airs.

"I've kept you waiting for so long. I'm really sorry. Why didn't even a single message come over this time? If you have anything to do, just give me a message. How can you bother my lord to come to me? Speaking of it It should be me who went to the capital." Wu Zuoxi's lip service is very good, in fact, he knew what was going on when Shashen boarded the airship from the capital, but he was thinking about it at that time What did the guy come here for? Naturally, it won’t pass. Now it’s just a matter of face. Killing God laughed when he heard this guy say that. It’s always a good thing for people to give themselves face. Let alone him, even if Li Cong talked to him, he would not necessarily go to socialize. He is the number one person in the Southern Empire, and he is a tenth-level fighter, or a senior tenth-level fighter. Naturally, it is not necessary I talked to these people for some trivial matters, but now it is different. The power of Cao's House of Commerce has grown by leaps and bounds. The combination of their three empires did not make the people of the Eastern Empire bow their heads, but what about now? People in the Eastern Empire lowered their heads to the point where they didn't know how to lower their heads.

"Mr. Wu is such a busy person, why would you have the nerve to ask you to go to the capital? This time I am here on business, and I need your Master Cao's master to help me refine some elixir, mainly because the things are too precious. , In the past, it could be delivered directly to your branch in the capital city. Who knows that it will be delivered directly to you high-level officials now. The super fighters will also be tempted when they see these things of mine, no, I brought them all.” Killing God said with a smile, the matter he said is just one aspect, the tenth level fighters that Killing God can order There are several of them, so naturally he doesn't need to bring them here. Besides the safety aspect, he also made up a lie, trying to prevaricate this matter. On the head, this matter is not very good. If the investigation comes out, I haven't thought about tearing the face off with the people of Cao's House. There are still many things that need them.

"Haha? I really don't know what kind of elixir the boss would personally visit? It seems to be very precious." Wu Zuoxi said with a smile, he naturally knew the elixir of the sixth grade or above, but It's not the Nine-turn Resurrection Pill that I want to know. If it is this, I will naturally have to talk to this old fox. There is no such big list in the short term. There are only a few such things a year. That's it, that's why the first-level stewards are allowed to handle these things. If there are many of them every year, even if they are exhausted, these first-level stewards will not be able to finish it, unless the people of Cao's Commercial Bank increase their number of first-level stewards The number of people, so that it is possible to do all these things well.

"Speaking of which, this elixir is definitely very important. It is the Nine-turn Resurrection Pill." Killing God said it without any concealment. He knew that there was no point in concealing it at this time, so he wanted to Like a patient, if you don't tell your illness in front of the doctor, how can someone come to save you, and if you don't even tell the name of the alchemy, how can someone help you? It's better to be honest, and besides, I have already calculated the following things. No matter how this guy asks, I have some excuses. Judging from Wu Zuoxi's expression just now, I already know that their superiors must be After explaining it, as long as it is refining the Jiuzhuan Resurrection Pill, it needs to be played. It seems that this time it is not so easy for me. With the help of the airship, the people of Cao's House spread very quickly. The speed of tenth-level fighters reached their own house, and then quickly collected medicinal materials, and then brought them here. This is very fast for many people. Yes, but compared with the airship of Cao's House, it is a bit slow, otherwise, there would be no such thing, and the capital may be able to handle this matter.

"It turned out to be this thing. Although Mr. Wu doesn't cultivate the body, he is still very clear about these expensive medicines. If I remember correctly, this thing is priceless. According to our requirements, we need to provide three copies of it." We dare not say whether it is successful or not, and the fee charged after success is definitely not low. I think the elders understand all this. Only this time Master Cao explained to us. He recently met Four enemies, these four guys killed our third son, so please tell me about the use of this elixir. Naturally, we will arrange this matter." This guy knows that this matter is too huge, If you don't know anything and leave this business to the next one, you will probably take the lead in your own good life in the future, and Wu Zuoxi can't make such a decision.

"The talents of all medicines are already here, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. As for the use of this elixir, in the past, these things would not be asked, and many people would not say it. Now since you I asked, and I’ll just tell you directly, it’s our emperor who wants to use it. Although His Majesty’s skills have reached level nine, he dreams of becoming a level ten fighter every day, but at the end of the day I didn't achieve it, but I made myself very ill. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have left the capital to see the situation. We use ten-thousand-year ginseng to heal His Majesty the emperor, and I hope you The Cao’s House can be faster, if this can save the life of our Emperor, then you will be able to ask for anything in the future.” I really didn’t see that this guy was actually an acting school. The nonsense here is very decent. If I hadn't known some of the content of the meeting in advance, I would have thought that what this guy said was so sincere. I didn't know that this guy was a wolf.

Wu Zuoxi first analyzed it. If there is a problem with the imperial brother of a country, he will naturally not say it. Things like the Nine-turn Resurrection Pill are not available to ordinary people, even a tenth-level fighter may not be able to use it. For such a thing, the emperor's younger brother must be a senior tenth-level fighter or ninth-level magician, but magicians generally don't use their own bodies to go up, if the magician's body is severely injured If it is, it is likely to use some other pills. Those things are cheaper than Jiuzhuan Resurrection Pill, and the effect is even better. Naturally, I will not choose this. The words of the killing god should be passable, but Wu Zuoxi I still don't believe it, so I continued to try.

"Is there a problem with His Majesty the Emperor? I haven't heard of this. Some time ago, I heard that His Majesty was still parading in the southern suburbs. Many people said that His Majesty is very good. You don’t need our Master Cao to go and see it in person. You must know that our Master Cao’s medical skills are also very good. Although his master is a pharmacist, he has learned a lot from his master’s side these years. Something, it might be useful." Wu Zuoxi threw a ball over, if you ask us to go over to see it, naturally there is nothing to say about this matter, if you don't let us go over, you need to weigh your words carefully See what's going on.

"Uh... don't use this one. After all, it belongs to His Majesty the Emperor. We also have some good doctors in the Southern Empire. As you know, the body of the emperor of a country is not accessible to everyone. I It’s not that you Mr. Cao are not capable, but he has his own rules for this matter. You were also a senior member of the Western Empire in the past. I don’t think those people in the Western Empire can just look at the emperor’s body casually. Yes, our Majesty's physical condition can only be known by ourselves, and you have to understand us when it comes to this." Killing God said a little embarrassingly, which showed that their Emperor Majesty did not have him. As simple as it is, there must be other bad things about the body.

"It turns out that's the case. I understand. I don't dare to answer you like this. I have to ask the people over there. These sixth-grade pills are different from the previous ones. The three medicines are not the same. The problem is that after success, there will definitely be some other requirements. If you can't meet them, we won't do them. As for the requirements, we'll have to look at the quality of the pills. It doesn't matter, we will refund you two of the three shares of medicinal materials you paid for, and I don't need to say more about this, that's what all alchemists in the world do." Wu Zuoxi knew that this old guy couldn't give himself What to say, this mental consideration. I am not as good as this old guy. It's better to give this news to Li Cong as soon as possible. Shashen is not a simple person, and he can't be reckless in doing things by himself, otherwise he will be the one who is cheated sooner or later. You must be calm and calm before making cold arrows.

"It's all fine. It's just that our emperor's condition is a little serious. I don't know how long it will take for the news to come back?" Killing God said anxiously. He didn't really want to get it quickly. As long as he got the promise from Li Cong, he would definitely leave. From the beginning to the present, he knew that he hadn't shown any flaws. Even if Li Cong guessed by himself, he would definitely not be able to guess it, unless he is now with the imperial brother of the Southern Empire, but that is absolutely impossible. Things, he wants to know this thing, it's still very early.

"It's really quick to give the news. It can be done within three to five days, but if you want to get the elixir, it will take next month at the earliest. We all refine the elixirs together. There are three batches a year. This It cannot be accelerated, no matter what happens, we will not arrange to stop it." Wu Zuoxi is very clear about this issue, since there is nothing suspicious here, there is no need for him to continue wasting Time has passed, and the money still has to be earned.

next month? Damn it, the third child has to eat tens of millions of medicinal materials every day. Damn it, won't he still eat more than a billion yuan of my own money next month, but this is the fastest speed. If you wait for the auction If it appears at the meeting, it is estimated that it will take several years or even decades or hundreds of years. At that time, I will be even more depressed. Such a thing is definitely possible to happen, and I must not let such a thing occurring.

Wu Zuoxi didn't dare to delay this matter after sending away the killing god, so he had to send the news up immediately. It's strange to say that in the past, there would be two such transactions in each clan, but now it's just one , It would be strange if Li Cong didn't come here, and it should be that these guys can't escape.

In addition to this matter, the once-in-a-century genius selection station in the Southern Empire is about to start. This time is also a good time to attract talents. If Li Cong has not formulated a long-term development plan, he does not need to worry about this, but now it will take a long time development, so this time the selection station is very important. The training camp of Cao's Commercial Bank can't always use some ordinary people. If there are some geniuses joining and adding so many medicinal materials to help, everything will They are all very good, and the proportion of ninth-level fighters will definitely be very high. If one's character is better, maybe tenth-level fighters can also come out.

Li Cong has been looking for news about the Jiuzhuan Resurrection Pill. Now that he has this news so easily, how can he let it go? After receiving the news, Li Cong made a little preparation and asked someone to give it to Wu Zuoxi. I replied to the message, and said that I accepted the deal myself. If I didn’t accept the deal, I would naturally have no way to find the people behind me. Except for the fact that the killing god of the Southern Empire had a little friendship with me when I met him for the first time. There is nothing else but embarrassing myself. For such a person, if I don’t punish him, I really think I’m easy to bully. The massacre has started, his sons are all dead, and any face-saving business is secondary. Besides, he can tear himself apart with the Eastern Empire. The Southern Empire, whose strategic position is not so important, will care about it. ? Even if you get to that point, it's not what you want to do, and if you want to blame it, you can only blame you.

As for the talent selection station of the Southern Empire, it can be said that it is a good thing for the entire continent, because only the Southern Empire established this thing, and the other empires did not hold it, so the talents of the four major empires began to move towards the Southern Empire. It’s an opportunity to make a name for yourself, especially for many people from poor families. They don’t have the resources to develop themselves better, so they can only rely on their own efforts, but efforts are not necessarily It will be successful, especially after they reach a certain level, they must buy some pills or something. They don't have the funds, so they can only come to participate in this genius station. With such a thing, they will Being favored by some high-ranking people or large-scale forces, you will have the resources to advance yourself. This is also the case for the children of some big families. You must win glory for your family, and after winning, this The rewards are also very good. The last time it was a provincial fiefdom, of course, such things can only be obtained by big families. If you give him a provincial fiefdom from a poor family, he will not Know how to manage it.

Li Cong's search for such a place is naturally not ordinary people. Li Cong's recent research is how to train magicians. Li Cong is not very enthusiastic about training soldiers. It is what I want to do the most. If I can do this successfully, my life will be really good. I have abundant resources and various skills, but I just don’t have people with good qualifications. Depressed, this matter right now has indeed given me a chance, and it has also given a chance to those people I have taken a fancy to. As long as you treat yourself well in the future, your life's prosperity and wealth can be considered settled.

On the side of the Eastern Empire, Li Cong still needs to make some arrangements. First of all, these so-called chambers of commerce. Li Cong has already passed on the order. The following grain companies have started large-scale invasions, and the banks have used low-interest loans to capture a large number of markets. , My own bank uses the latest banknotes, and all kinds of costs are much lower than theirs. It is not that simple to compete with yourself. As for other things, you don’t need to care about them. The Fox family doesn't need to worry about it themselves, they should have gained a firm foothold by now, if they haven't, it can only show that Linghu is an idiot. (To be continued..)
