Yicheng, Ningtai Trading Company

This is the oldest trading house in Yicheng. Since the cultivation of ferngrass in Yicheng, this business has started to handle all business related to fernium in Yicheng. For six hundred years, it has not changed its address, although it has gone through several times.

It has been renovated several times, but still maintains its original appearance.

Perhaps this trading house is not the most luxurious and largest in Yicheng, but it is definitely the most famous and powerful trading house in Yicheng, because behind this trading house stands the ruler of the three southwest states, Prince Ning's Mansion.

Because Ning Taihang has always been in the business of phoenix grass, so at the beginning, it was only available during the harvest season of phoenix grass. However, as time went by, the storage technology of phoenix grass improved, and Ning Taihang

Taihang also stored a large amount of ferns, and the business continued for six hundred years.

Since two hundred years ago, Ningtaihang has never been closed for more than 360 days a year, except for the five days of inventory. During the harvest season of ferns, there are even more people coming and going here, staying up all night and staying up all night.

But today is not the day for Ningtai Bank to take inventory, but Ningtai Trading Company has closed Zhang.

The old black engraved door is tightly closed, but behind the door, it is very lively. Almost all the big shopkeepers of Yicheng's trading houses are gathered here. In addition, there are also ship bosses sailing on the Yicheng Pier.

, there were nearly fifty people gathered in the lobby of Ningtai Trading Company.

Wang Guanlan looked at the excited crowd and felt confused. He had been in Yicheng for a whole month. In the past month, Yicheng had already had a falling out over the price and freight of ferns, and he, a Ningtai businessman,

The actual person in charge has not been revealed, and he is very carefree!

There has been a stalemate between Ningtai and other trading houses. More and more ferns have been backlogged, which has formed an obvious slow-selling phenomenon. Because there is no business, nearly 60% of the ships on the dock have also been suspended. The entire Yicheng,

In a strange stalemate, things changed subtly until five days ago, when Ning Taixing transported ten carts of fresh ferns to Prince Ning's Mansion.

The significance of escorting the top ten trucks of ferns at this time is somewhat unusual. You must know that in addition to paying a part of the income to Prince Ning's Mansion every year, Yicheng Ningtaihang is also responsible for the supply of ferns to Prince Ning's Mansion, but the supply volume

In fact, it's not much. It's only one car per year. A large car of ferns is enough for Prince Ning's palace to use for a year and there is still some savings. But it has never been like this before. Ten cars can be transported at once, which is enough for Prince Ning to use for ten years.

A few years, although it is said that the medicinal effect of this fern can only last for three years at most, and as time goes by, the medicinal effect will gradually disappear, but if it is made into an elixir in advance, it will be another time

Well, even ordinary elixirs can be preserved for more than ten years, and some high-end elixirs can even be preserved for more than a hundred years.

Therefore, Ning Taixing's move is seen as seeking support from Prince Ning's Mansion. Of course, even if ten carts of Phoenixweed can get support from Prince Ning's Mansion, the support will not be too much, and the gesture is too small.

Yes, he seems a little petty.

But in any case, this can be regarded as a stalemate. Ning Taixing was the first to take action. You must know that any small move by both parties in a stalemate may break the fragile balance. Therefore, after learning

After Ning Taixing's action, almost all the trading houses in Yicheng took action, exerting pressure on Ning Taixing from all aspects, hoping to force Wang Guanlan to come forward to negotiate.

Of course, this is something that these firms have no choice about. Wang Guanlan is completely different from the opponents they have encountered before. In many cases, he will not give you a chance to confront him, and he will not even meet you in person.

Just like this time, the trading company sent a representative to discuss the price of medicinal materials with him, but Wang Qing sent him away and blocked him with a word. The trading company felt insulted and despised, and after returning, they began to boycott

Ning Taixing, in the past month, Ning Taixing has not sold any of his ferns. Others would have been anxious, but Wang Guanlan was not anxious and ignored him, as if Ning Taixing was not

He did the same thing. As for the ship bosses on the Nushui River who wanted to increase the freight, he did it even more. He changed the shipping party with just one sentence and completely threw this burden to the major commercial banks. Of course, the major commercial banks did not

They agreed, but they disagreed, but Wang Guanlan ignored them at all, leaving them with a variety of means but nowhere to use them.

Five days ago, Wang Guanlan transported ferns to Prince Ning's Mansion. They knew that this was a sign of Wang Guanlan's move. They couldn't sit still anymore and finally started to join forces. Together with the boss of the ship, they used various means to attack Wang Guanlan.

As a result, 60% of the boats on the Nushui River have stopped, and a large amount of goods are backlogged at the dock and cannot be transported out. 80% of the shops in Yicheng are stopped. Now people in Yicheng have to travel all over the county to buy a green onion, and they may not be able to buy it.

Under such circumstances, the first person who couldn't sit still was the county magistrate, Yao Yifei. As the county magistrate, Yicheng's old parents, of course, couldn't let Yicheng turn into a dead city, so they finally came forward in person to facilitate today's meeting.

Wang Guanlan could not give face to the merchants, he could hang all the businesses in the city on the dock to drink from the northwest wind, but as a scholar and the representative of Prince Ning's Mansion in Yicheng, he had to give face to Yao Yifei, the county magistrate, so

, today I reluctantly appeared in front of everyone.

The appearance of Wang Guanlan gave people who had been angry for more than a month a place to vent their anger. Looking at the young and emaciated young man, the 14th Young Master of the Royal Palace,

Everyone's eyes looked a little unkind.

"I don't like their looks!" Wang Guanlan looked at this group of people, a sarcastic smile flashed across his face, "It looks like they are trying to force the palace!"

"Young Master Fourteenth, it seems that things today are not easy to handle!" Yao Yifei also felt the atmosphere in the hall, leaned slightly towards Wang Guanlan, and said in a low voice.

"Don't worry, parents, it's not a big deal, the students will take care of it!" Wang Guanlan said softly.

"Okay, it's best to solve it properly!" Yao Yifei nodded. As the county magistrate of this city, he certainly didn't want this kind of thing to happen. After all, he was the nominal leader of the city. If something really happened,

Whatever happened would have an impact on his performance appraisal.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet, be quiet!!" Seeing that everyone had arrived and there was still a squeaking noise in the hall, Wang Qing walked to the front of the hall and cleared his throat,

He shouted loudly, "Everyone, be quiet, be quiet!"

The hall slowly became quiet, and all eyes were focused on Wang Guanlan, who was sitting on the chair. As for Yao Yifei beside Wang Guanlan, he was selectively ignored.

"Okay, everyone is here now, and the Fourteenth Young Master is also here. What ideas and requirements do you have? You can discuss it with the Fourteenth Young Master!!" Yuan Kang, a scribe in green, has been standing beside Yao Yifei, seeing everyone around him.

After calming down, he said politely, after all, today's meeting was initiated by the county government.

Wang Guanlan had no objection to the county government presiding over this meeting. After Yuankang finished speaking, there was another muttering sound, which seemed to be discussing something. After a while, it gradually calmed down again, and it seemed that

After reaching an agreement, a fat middle-aged man slowly walked out of the crowd.

"This fat man looks familiar!" Wang Guanlan looked at the fat man walking out and felt as if he had seen this guy before.

"This is Ning Taihang's former boss, Weng Dingshu!!" Seeing the doubtful expression on Wang Guanlan's face, Wang Qing hurriedly approached and said.

"Oh!!" Wang Guanlan suddenly remembered that this fat man was one of the ten shopkeepers he met when he first came to Yicheng, and one of the three shopkeepers who later decided to leave. Originally, he had never had the chance to see him again.

He was shocked. He didn't expect to appear here, at this time, at this place, and looking at the flying expression on his face, Wang Guanlan had the urge to kick him in the face.

"Weng Dingshu has met the Fourteenth Young Master!" The fat man staggered forward. He was not rude, but his tone and expression really made Wang Guanlan very angry.

Snapped!!!

As soon as Wang Guanlan raised his foot, a white shadow flew out from his foot and shot towards the fat man rapidly. The fat man had a fat body and had only practiced a few superficial internal skills to maintain his health.

How could one avoid Wang Guanlan's deliberate kick?

As a result, the white shadow hit Weng Dingshu right in the face, and the huge force knocked Weng Dingshu's fat body upside down and landed heavily on the ground. The body collided with the ground and made a dull hitting sound, and there was no more sound.

Made a sound.

The entire lobby fell silent!

Dozens of pairs of eyes stared blankly at two places, the ground where the fat man was lying and Wang Guanlan with one foot raised. Wang Guanlan not only had his feet raised, but also had no shoes on. His shoes were imprinted on Weng Dingshu.

on the face.

Wang Guanlan glanced at Weng Dingshu, who was lying on the ground and had passed out, a strange smile flashed across his face, and he glanced at the stunned people, "I don't want to talk to this bastard, you can talk to someone else!

!”

First there was silence, then a commotion. After a while, someone came out. This time, it was a little old man, a little thin, and his attitude was completely different from that of Weng Dingshu. He looked unlucky and trembling.

, be cautious.

"Don't be afraid, I don't know you, and I won't do anything to you!" Wang Guanlan said gently, "I just don't like that kid!" At this point, he glanced at the fat man again, "

Why don't you drag him down and put his corpse here?"

Before he finished speaking, Tian Cheng and Tian You rushed to the fat man's side and dragged him down.

"Okay, just tell me what you have to say!" Looking at this seemingly thin old man, Wang Guanlan's eyes flashed with a cold look. Wang Guixi, the shopkeeper of Xinghe Bank, was not someone who could be frightened by a shoe.

The person who arrived!

Wang Guanlan was observing Wang Guixi, but he didn't know that Wang Guixi was also muttering secretly, secretly thinking that this Fourteenth Young Master was really not simple.

For this meeting, the major trading houses in Yicheng had made full preparations and even conducted deductions for every step and detail, and Weng Dingshu was a key part of it.

However, no one expected that Wang Guanlan would come up with something like this at the beginning, which would disrupt all their plans. Regardless of plan or layout, the first step is always the most important, but this time

Before he could even take a step, his foot was chopped off. If it were on any other occasion, he would even have the urge to walk away, but now in such an occasion, he has no way to retreat.

, the only good thing is that this time their plan is very thorough, and the group of people is also very united. No one knows better than him, in a small place like Yicheng, how powerful the group of them will be if they unite.
