Dark Fairy

Chapter 302
Liu Xu will handle the affairs of the Zhou family and the Hou family, and Yang Xiu will handle the bargaining of the Daomen Village. Neither party dares to delay at all, because without Bailang's reminder, the atmosphere in Yongchuan City has become increasingly tense. You can feel the situation slipping.

Even just yesterday, a group of miserable-looking refugees arrived outside the city of Yongchuan, where they were taken away by the yamen outside the east of the city, where they set up tents and distributed porridge.It is said that they will have to wait for half a month to see if there is any plague on these refugees, and only when they are sure that there is no plague can they go to the city to make other arrangements for their livelihood.

And these refugees did not come from the surrounding area of ​​Yongchuan City, but wandered from the Tianfeng Plain not far away.

According to these refugees, they were unlucky.Those who are lucky will be resettled nearby after leaving the Tianfeng Plain, but there are too many people and those who cannot be accommodated can only continue to go further north.After going all the way and resettling, the remaining refugees finally came to Yongchuan City.In fact, some refugees stayed in Shuangqing City in front of them.

The refugees coming north brought with them the most direct news about the south.Although they did not know the movements of the army and did not see Yunyan's barbarians coming when they left, they could still tell a lot about what they experienced on the Tianfeng Plains.

For example, the Tianfeng Plain has already cleared the wilderness, and even started to burn the plains.These two pieces of news immediately made the hearts of those who knew a little bit about military common sense and what the Tianfeng Plain meant to the Hong Dynasty tense.

"Today, the Fengfeng Plain has been solidified and cleared, and even started to burn the plains. It is unlikely that there will be much food output this year or even next year. The rest of the place is at best self-sufficient, and it still needs to be spread out with such a large army. Wu Xiaochao, how long do you think this situation can last? Are those medicinal materials in your hands can be eaten as food or something?
Someone from our Zhou family and the Hou family has already gone to see it. The place is very hidden. Even if there is no guide to lead the way, it is easy to go wrong.

And Master Bai of the Knife Hall has extraordinary means. Not only is the grain stockpiled now enough to feed thousands of people for several years, but also six to seven hundred people in the mountain can be self-sufficient, and they have combat power for defense. It's no better than the poor village built by your two families. many?
If you are really worried, just take out a batch of goods first, and I will help you ask for a personal interview, and let the person you choose to go and have a look at it. When the time comes, you should have the answer once you go and come.

How is it? "

Zhou Yu and Hou Wangtong worked very hard. Now they are tied to the same boat as Bailang, and it is impossible for them to jump.So when Liu Xu told them about Bailang's request, the two old fellows were very active. From their point of view, they and the knife hall finally got together to live together. More merchants and acquaintances will naturally be more at ease when they get together.

On the other side, the bargaining notes sent by Yang Xiu used Feiyu to come and go, and there was basically no delay.This went back and forth a total of three times, and finally the price was finally negotiated.

After hearing the news of Liu Xu's return, Bailang held the latest price reached with Daomenzhai in one hand, and said, "Xuai Hui would rather compromise and bargain on ordnance, and insist on the type and quantity of medicinal materials. Weird."

Liu Xu also nodded, and said, "It's really strange. It stands to reason that armaments are the most needed things in Daomen Village, and medicinal materials are just medicines. Even if there are Qi practitioners in their village, there will definitely not be too many , you can't take the pill as a meal, can you?

Zuo Dao, do you think these medicinal materials are not what Daomenzhai voluntarily asked for. "

"Not voluntarily? What do you mean?"

"That alchemist! The subordinates feel that the medicinal materials are what the alchemist needs, not what the Daomen Village wants. Combined with the strange appearance of the Daomen Village who would rather reduce the number of armaments than reduce one or two medicinal materials, they may be the same as Na Dan. Teachers don’t necessarily exist as a close unity.”

Bailang nodded, then shook his head and said: "Master Liu is right, but he is not necessarily right. Because if it is not a unified force, how can the alchemist be relegated to a place like Daomen Village?"

Liu Xu also laughed. When Bai Lang said this, he also felt that it was indeed unlikely that an alchemist would be nesting in a ravine with a group of thieves and refining alchemy for these thieves.It really doesn't make sense to say that the two don't have a strong connection.

"Okay, let the medicinal materials of those two families go on the road as soon as possible, the matter of the elixir can't be delayed at all."

"It's a knife!"

Liu Xu's side has reached the final conclusion at Bailang's place, and the next step is to officially start the first transaction.Everyone in the know is looking forward to the fact that Bailang's strength will rise to a higher level after he gets the elixir.In that case, the upper limit of the small power of the sword hall can be raised.In the future, there will be more room for maneuver, so that you will not be easily trapped or messed up by a certain trouble.

However, Liu Xu and others are following Bailang towards the same goal, but now the situation has become increasingly complicated. Even the industrial park that was originally under Bailang's control has also undergone frequent changes during this period.But it was the three hundred guards sent by Liu Jianyu who brought about the change.

Not long after Liu Xu left, Zhang Wu and Wang Bing knocked on the door and walked in.

Now Zhang Wu is already the No. [-] person who shows his face the most in the industrial park.He is responsible for all aspects of the industrial park.He wandered around with a few street wanderers all day long, and when he found trouble, he immediately asked Yang Xiu to deal with it.Nowadays, it is very easy to eat in the industrial park.

And Wang Bing has now integrated his experience of being a gut-scratcher over the years into his current "business experience".He holds several unique businesses in his hands.

One of them is the biggest revenue stream of the knife shop today, the business of iron ore, armor lining sewing and mold consumables.This business is the Kuang family who was forcibly recruited by Bailang before.In the past, the Kuang family sold rouge, gouache and ready-to-wear. Although they had bumps and bumps after crossing industries, they quickly adapted to it.After all, the Zhou family and the Hou family knew that this was Bailang's business, so they were very tolerant and helped the Kuang family get through the initial rough stage.Relying on Kuang Yingxiong's means and brains behind him, the business has been flourishing.

The second is the carriage and loading and unloading business in the industrial park.In addition to the wharf, there are also many materials and goods in circulation in the city. These short but busy jobs are also lucrative.

Finally, there is the business that the knife shop has been setting up in the industrial park from the very beginning: eating.

Can't drink now but have to eat.If the restaurant can't continue to open, then find another way to specialize in cheap and affordable "construction site meals".There are vegetables, meat, and soup. It is a way of small profits but quick turnover. All the previous construction sites that have been put down for various reasons are covered with sheds and used. There are more than a dozen such sheds in the industrial park every day. There are no less than ten thousand people eating and drinking in it.This business is not even much worse than that of the Kuang family.

However, the two of them came today to complain to Bailang.

"Zao Dao, that Chen guy is really annoying. He doesn't talk about oil and salt, and he always likes to pick stabs everywhere. The brothers on the street didn't mess with him at all, so his people came up and waited for a beating. If anyone complained about the Kuang family's business, they would come out out of nowhere to help fight the injustice, which frightened the other side, thinking that the Kuang family deliberately turned them around to squeeze them out of the business of the industrial park."
