Myths and Dharma, starting from Erlang Shen

Chapter 170 Sima of Jin
  "A Shou, you lie here for a while, I've sent someone to call the doctor."

Ji Ren had a business, Emperor Qi saved money, and everyone was happy. Emperor Qi and his party enjoyed a delicious pig-killing feast at Ji Ren's place, and then left with satisfaction.

Only Zhang Jingshou was left crying in grievance.

Ji Ren comforted Zhang Jingshou while pouring the golden sore medicine.

"You traitor." Zhang Jingshou glanced at Ji Ren with disgust. At this price, you sold it cheaply.

"What's a traitor? Don't you know that free things are the most expensive? Although I don't give them for free, there are pitfalls in cheap things. Do you know how meaningful the word "imperial gift" is? And if this is not the case, how can you seduce His Majesty? Come out? Don't you want to be the first person to reform Cuju in Daqi?" Ji Ren said.

"Cuju?" When he said this, Zhang Jingshou's eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "As promised, I will play forward this time."

"Okay." Ji Ren nodded.

The alternative Cuju is football.

The main reason is that after Ji Ren played Cuju a few times, he felt that there was indeed a reason why football replaced Cuju, and he thought it was better to play football.

Moreover, to practice the Dharma, you need to be close to the Dharma. It is undoubtedly difficult for Ji Ren to become the god of Cuju, but if he improves Cuju and becomes the creator, it will be much easier.

Zhang Jingshou despised football at first, thinking that football could not be compared with Cuju. Cuju is difficult and reflects skills, but football is such a big goal and the difficulty is completely different.

Then after playing a few times, I really couldn't stop.

"Okay, take good care of yourself. The Chamber of Commerce will be officially established in a few days, which will inevitably cause a lot of dissatisfaction. At that time, we will need to lead the guards of our Chamber of Commerce to maintain order." Ji Ren said.

"The Chamber of Commerce's Guards? You asked me to form one!" Zhang Jingshou's eyes suddenly widened. Doesn't this mean he is allowed to form the Guards openly?

"Of course. It is reasonable for a chamber of commerce to have its own guards, and the imperial merchants chartered by the imperial court can have a small guard force of 300 people wearing armor." Ji Ren said.

"But aren't we still imperial merchants?" Zhang Jingshou wondered.

There are not many imperial merchants in Da Qi.

The Tongfu Chamber of Commerce is insufficient in terms of scale and strength.

"But we have a ten-year contract with the imperial court, and the key to judging whether it is an imperial merchant is whether it has been trading with the imperial court for a long time. Ten years is not long, isn't it? In other words, only imperial merchants can sign a ten-year contract with the imperial court. Agreement. Now they have signed a ten-year contract with us, but they do not give us the team that the imperial merchants should have. What is this? This is trampling on our sincerity to serve the country and the people." Ji Rendao.

"Sigh~"

Zhang Jingshou took a breath, then said excitedly: "Okay, Lao Ji, you are indeed cunning and cunning, and you are worthy of being my right-hand man."

"You should read more when you have time," Ji Ren said.

"Studying is not as fun as leading troops. By the way, Lao Ji, we have deceived our father. What if he wants to settle accounts with the Queen?" Zhang Jingshou said hesitantly.

"You forgot, we took the initiative to reduce the price, and now His Majesty wants to go back on his word, can he be worthy of our sincerity in taking the initiative to reduce the price? And do you think that with His Majesty's temperament, he will do something contrary to his promise?" Ji Ren said.

"Yes for me, but definitely not for you. Father, you have to suffer the consequences to save face. So, I have my guard!" Zhang Jingshou reacted and said with great joy.

"That's right. Big boss, let's train our troops," Ji Ren said.

"Lao Ji, I love you." When Zhang Jingshou heard this, his waist and legs no longer hurt, and he hugged Ji Ren.

"go away."

Ji Ren said with a look of disgust.

……

Happiness never disappears, it only moves.

In other words, when someone is happy, then someone's happiness must be transferred.

Ji Ren was overjoyed, and at the same time, a group of people were crying.

There are many businessmen who want to take advantage of the new year wave to increase prices and make a comeback, but now Ji Ren is just smashing the plate.

When the news first came out, many people didn't believe it.

pork? what?
  Food for the lower class.

Besides, it’s not like they haven’t seen Yunzhan White Pig before. How could it suddenly have more meat?
  Could it be that everyone else is stupid, but Ji Ren has a way?

Except for Zhenya who vaguely realized something and sold it in advance, most people still didn't react.

The people were also hesitant.

But when Ji Ren raised the banner of the Zhuge family, the people believed it.

Even if you don’t trust anyone, you have to trust the Zhuge family. In addition, many people had eaten at the restaurant before, so they bought them one after another.

The result is that Biyanyun Mutton is completely ignored.

The effect is almost the same, but the price is less than one-third of yours, so only fools come to buy it from you.

Moreover, after eating too much Biyanyun mutton, suddenly eating pork is unprecedentedly delicious because of its freshness.

Under the influence of two factors, even if a group of people queue up, they still have to wait for Yunzhan white pork, while no one cares about the blue-eyed Yun Yang.

Along with this, all the major families who stocked up on goods and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune suffered heavy losses.

Ji Ren can sell it cheaply because the cost is so low, but they can't.

Especially those from this group of aristocratic families, with their sharp eyes and ears, knew the news faster than others. They also bought the Biyanyun mutton on the market in advance, thinking of buying it at a low price and selling it at a high price, but ended up losing everything.

Countless people smashed it in anger, and some even wanted to take risks, but as soon as they had the idea, they looked at the forces behind the Tongfu Chamber of Commerce and tacitly stopped the idea.

If you are honest, you will only lose money. If you are not honest, the whole family will suffer.

Among these people who reaped the consequences for themselves, Yangfu was included.

In the back garden of the Yang family, a plum tree is blooming alone in the cold weather. Even with the wind and frost, it is difficult to suppress the pride.

Under the plum blossom tree, Yang Xing, who was one of the eight sunday students in Taiping Academy, looked gloomier than ever before.

Although the Wu Palace was in charge this time, Yang Xing was also from the south of the Yangtze River, and he also had some connections in Chang'an, so he also wanted a share of the pie.

I thought I was going to make a fortune together, but ended up losing everything.

Once in and out, I lost a total of ten thousand taels of silver.

It's not a lot for major aristocratic families, but for the declining Yang family, it's not a small sum.

And this was his decision. Such a failed decision undoubtedly made some people who were dissatisfied with him start to question him.

"Isn't it just ten thousand taels of silver? It's just a trivial matter, why bother so much? You know, you are a descendant of Yang Hu."

When Yang Xing was troubled, a voice suddenly sounded.

Yang Xing suddenly opened his eyes and looked alertly at the place where the sound came from. A tall, thin middle-aged man in Chinese clothes appeared in the courtyard at some point. Seeing this person, Yang Xing was relieved at first. Apparently He knew me, and he immediately became alert and said, "What are you doing here?"

"Of course there are some things that require your cooperation." The middle-aged man smiled.

"What do you want me to do?" Yang Xing asked alertly.

"Let the mother and son of the Huang family die." The middle-aged man said word by word.

"Are you crazy? Duke Su Guo is already a powerful man at the seventh level of the Heavenly King." Yang Xing's face changed in shock.

"But isn't he going to leave soon? And he's not the seventh-level Heavenly King, so he's not qualified for us to use him." The middle-aged man smiled.

"Use?" Yang Xing frowned subconsciously and said, "Now Duke Su is going to go to Xiliang, and then something happens to the Huang family mother and son. You want to make the war in Xiliang disadvantageous. Are you from Xiliang?"

"No, it's just cooperation. In other words, getting back everything that belongs to us. Qin, Han, Tang, Song and Ming, which dynasty did not really exist, Qi is the only loser, what qualifications does it have to be on an equal footing with the other five empires? This country should have a surname Sima!" the middle-aged man said.

"What does that have to do with me?" Yang Xing said.

"It's naturally related. The reason why your Yang family thrives is all because of the trust of our Sima family, just like your Dharma will become stronger after being with me. Don't refuse, because you have no right to refuse, otherwise you will contact us Once the news spreads, your entire Yang family will be wiped out." The middle-aged man said with a smile.

There was a look of struggle on Yang Xing's face, but he also knew that the middle-aged man was telling the truth. He gritted his teeth and said: "Even if Duke Su is gone, the Huang family's mother and son will have someone to protect them. It's not easy for me to do anything, and if I do, , my Yang family cannot bear the wrath of Duke Su, so why don’t you do it yourself.”

"Of course it's because it's better if you do it. Don't worry, we won't let others suspect that you did it. In this case, the benefits will not be maximized. You just need to obey the order." The middle-aged man said.

Yang Xing struggled with his expression, but finally said unwillingly: "If there is danger, I will not take action."

"Don't worry, it won't happen. After all, you are very important. And if our Dajin is established, your Yang family will definitely have a place. Now you first think of a way to arouse the resentment of the people of the King of Wu's line against the Huang family's mother and son. I will let you know what to do next." After the middle-aged man said that, his figure disappeared out of thin air, as if it had never existed.

Yang Xing's face was terribly gloomy, but he didn't dare not do it.

He still doesn't know how powerful these people are behind the scenes, but he can feel their unfathomable power.

Sima family.

Sima Yi, Sima Shi, Sima Zhao, and Sima Yan are not simple figures, and neither are their inheritors.
