There was no need for Guan Xiaorou to urge her, Tang Dongdong himself was extremely anxious.
He patted Guan Xiaorou gently and signaled her not to be anxious, and her mind quickly thought of countermeasures.
After a while, he said: "Now that things have come to a point, we can only withdraw the escort agency and the chamber of commerce from Guangyuan first!"
"Is there no other way?" Guan Xiaorou asked.
"Xie Xiguang has tolerated it for so long and suddenly launched an attack. He must be well prepared. Even if we find a way to deal with this disaster, we will still be targeted."
Tang Dongdong said: "Brother Feng is not in Jinchuan now. We can't confront the county guard, otherwise we will only be the ones who suffer. We might as well evacuate people first and wait until Brother Feng comes back."
"Yes, sir, he also said in his letter a few days ago that we should focus on safety." Xiaoyu followed up and said, "I think what Director Tang said is the best way now."
"Okay then, just follow what you said Dongdong."
Guan Xiaorou hesitated for a moment and asked: "Can we let the Chamber of Commerce open a store outside the city? In this way, people in the city who want to buy salt and brothels who want to buy soap can go outside the city."
"Yeah, why didn't I think of that?"
Tang Dongdong's eyes lit up: "Now that the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce and the Escort Bureau has been established, if the county guard doesn't let us enter the city, we won't enter. The same goes for opening a shop outside the city!"
Other merchants dare not open stores outside Guangyuan City because bandits are rampant in Dakang. Doing business outside the city is easily targeted by bandits.
There are no tall walls blocking the outside of the city, so bandits can escape at will after robbing.
It's a trivial matter to have your money and goods robbed, but if you don't do it well, your life will be lost.
But Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce has bodyguards on staff, so there is no need to worry about this.
Now that the large group of bandits in Guangyuan were basically wiped out by Zhang Liang in the autumn, the small group of bandits came to attack the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce with the intention of seeking death.
Tang Dongdong thought about it again and again, and felt that this method was indeed reliable, so he turned around and said:
"Xiaoyu, inform Zhong Ling'er and ask her to go out of the city to find a suitable place and move the Chamber of Commerce and the Escort Agency there."
"Okay!" Xiaoyu nodded, and then asked: "Director Tang, what about Zhou Changlin?"
The war between Tang Dongdong and the Zhou family has been going on for some time.
Zhou Changlin was able to become the largest cloth merchant in Guangyuan because he had a lot of skills. Under Tang Dongdong's fierce attack, he persisted until now.
However, it has already reached its end. As long as Tang Dongdong continues to pursue, Zhou Changlin will never be able to hold on for a month.
At that time, there is no need for Tang Dongdong to take action, the creditor will kill him.
Who knew something like this would happen now.
If the Chamber of Commerce and the Escort Bureau are withdrawn from Guangyuan City, it will give Zhou Changlin a chance to breathe.
"Zhou Changlin... let's put it aside for now. At this juncture, it's not suitable to cause more troubles, lest the county guard gets caught."
Tang Dongdong thought over and over again and finally decided to let Zhou Changlin go for the time being.
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to send a message to Ling'er right away."
Xiaoyu nodded to Guan Xiaorou again, turned and left.
"Xiaorou, Xiao'e is a child, don't be as knowledgeable as her."
Tang Dongdong washed his hands and said: "The Chamber of Commerce has withdrawn from Guangyuan, and work such as distribution of goods needs to be readjusted. I won't cook the pot for you. You can do it yourself."
After such a big incident, how could Guan Xiaorou still be in the mood to cook?
Naturally, I was not in the mood to take care of Xiao'e anymore.
She was already feeling very guilty because she couldn't help Tang Dongdong. How could she hold Tang Dongdong back?
He quickly waved his hand and said: "You go and do your work quickly, but you also need to pay attention to your health. The head of the family and Xiao Bei are not here, and I am useless. If you are exhausted again, I really don't know what to do."
"Xiaorou, don't talk about yourself like that, who said you are useless?"
Tang Dongdong put his arm around Guan Xiaorou's shoulders: "Brother Feng said, everyone has their own shining point, sometimes they just don't find a suitable display opportunity. Besides, the soaps and perfumes you make are expensive in the capital."
Women are rushing to get it, so don’t say that again in the future..."
Guan Xiaorou had too low self-esteem before. It might not matter if she was scolded a few times, and it would be over if she just cried.
But now that Tang Dongdong was praised like this, he immediately became shy and pushed Tang Dongdong out of the yard with a blushing face: "I know how much I weigh, so you go and get busy."
Tang Dongdong was amused by Guan Xiaorou.
The tension in my heart also dissipated a lot.
He reached out and rubbed her body, and said with a smile: "Hey, you're still shy!"
"How did you become as shameless as Xiaobei?"
Guan Xiaorou, who had been brutally beaten, was so angry that she stamped her feet.
Tang Dongdong smiled and waved his hands, turned around and left.
In the afternoon of that day, Zhong Ling'er, who was in Guangyuan, received a joint order from Tang Dongdong and Guan Xiaorou and began to prepare for the move.
Different locations have different concerns.
As the person in charge of Guangyuan, Zhong Linger is usually most concerned about the stalls in Guangyuan.
I have long been familiar with Guangyuan City and its surrounding areas.
Seeing that Tang Dongdong asked her to find a place outside the city to move the Chamber of Commerce and the Escort Agency, Zhong Ling'er immediately thought of a house outside the West City Gate.
This house belongs to a landlord. It is very close to the West City Gate and the place is large enough. It meets the requirements of the Escort Bureau and the Chamber of Commerce.
The old landowner died of illness in the autumn. His only son was now working as a minor official in the Central Plains and was unwilling to come back. He also took his mother and domestic slaves to the Central Plains.
Nowadays, there is only an old housekeeper and an old concierge in the old house to look after the house.
The landowner's son was planning to settle in the Central Plains, so he asked the old housekeeper to sell the house.
However, because the asking price was too high and the old housekeeper did not dare to lower the price privately, no one ever bought it.
Some time ago, Tang Dongdong wanted to stock up on a large amount of cloth. Zhong Ling'er was looking for warehouses everywhere and found this house. She fell in love with it at that time.
Just because the price is indeed much higher than the market price, I haven't made a move yet. I plan to wait for Tang Xiaobei's return and ask for advice before making a decision.
Now that Tang Dongdong asked her to move, Zhong Linger decided not to wait any longer and took her people out of the city.
The landlord's son just set a price before leaving, and then handed the property deed to the old housekeeper, who had full authority to handle it.
Zhong Ling'er had no objection to the price, so the old housekeeper naturally wouldn't embarrass her. He accompanied Zhong Ling'er to the county town early the next morning and transferred the property to the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce.
Then the Chamber of Commerce and the Escort Agency started moving on the same day.
Guangyuan City is one of the important stations of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, and there are a lot of escorts gathered there.
The Chamber of Commerce also had no shortage of trucks, so the move was very fast. It only took two days to move everything to the landlord's old house outside the city.
In the past two days, Zhong Ling'er not only sent people to inform each brothel of the new store address one by one, but also sent people to publicize it all over the city, informing people to buy salt outside the west city gate in the future.
Many people were afraid that the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce would quit and would not be able to buy such high-quality and cheap salt in the future, so they rushed to Xicheng Gate to buy salt.
The brothel noticed this and immediately started buying soap.
Not only was the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce's business not affected, there was a wave of panic buying.
This news reached the ears of County Governor Xie Xiguang immediately.
