Jiang Feng suddenly felt alarmed, but after seeing Dou Jinqiu's warm smile and feeling two familiar smells in the room at the same time, he felt much calmer. It turned out to be these two people.
Dou Jinqiu led the way, and the guests and hosts soon met each other calmly. One of them was Dou Jinfan, the eldest brother of Dou Jinqiu, the president of Changning Chamber of Commerce, and the other was the second shopkeeper of Fulou Chamber of Commerce, Jindan monk Liang Pusheng, who had been
He participated in the roundup of himself, but now he is a guest here.
"Congratulations to Master Jiang on his promotion to the prefecture level."
When this human Jin Dan saw Jiang Feng, he also sensed his aura. Although he was a little weak, he was undoubtedly of earth level. He stood up immediately, with no trace of embarrassment on his face, as if he had been rounded up and killed before.
I have no connection with him at all, and I have to say that these businessmen are really thick-skinned. Jiang Feng originally thought that he had failed to solve the Changning Chamber of Commerce issue, so coming here to visit was somewhat embarrassing, but looking at the same warm smile on Dou Jinfan's face,
Suddenly I felt that I had thought too much.
This is maturity.
Therefore, Jiang Feng just smiled faintly, and also did not mention the previous grudge. "I was lucky enough to get a glimpse, but it made fellow Taoists laugh." Following Dou Jinqiu's guidance, Jiang Feng sat aside and saw the soul presented to him.
Tea is also a high-end product, so he knew that his promotion to the prefecture level would improve his status a lot.
"After a quick farewell, I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to see fellow Taoist Taoist Wen Ququ again." Jindan Liang Pusheng talked more than Dou Jinfan, and quickly opened up the topic. Jiang Feng took this opportunity to also ask about the recent changes in the situation, and learned that
After he escaped, various changes occurred in the Seven Alliances.
There are only four changes: one is the growth of Chixia Sect, which Jiang Feng has heard about before; the other is that Luoying Sect is still there, but it sounds like the Beijian Sect, and its territory has shrunk significantly.
He is a puppet of the Qi State, and the third one is the Jincheng Sect who "changed the sect into an alliance." This fact made Jiang Feng feel a lot of trouble. He secretly thought that Su Liqing might still have some tricks to come up with, and the fourth one was the Qing Yu Sect.
was established, its head was Wan Yuting, and it invaded the Biyun Sect from the north and now occupied a piece of the Seven Alliance's homeland, so it attracted the attention of many sects. In addition, it was all trivial matters, such as the Tianluo Sect that was separated from the Wei State.
, also went north and occupied several cities in Gujianmen, but for some unknown reason, the battle situation did not expand.
After a while, the servant came over to announce that the dinner was ready, and the three of them went to the banquet together. Jiang Feng found that although there were many delicacies and delicacies at the banquet, there was no wine, so he knew that there was more to come.
Sure enough, after the banquet, Jiang Feng was invited back to the living room. There were only three people left here, and even Dou Jinqiu was not able to sit down. Jiang Feng, who was suffering from internal injuries, couldn't help but feel a little worried, but thinking that if the other party took action, he would naturally not
After spending so much time and being kind, I just wanted to make myself a dead ghost, so I calmed down and waited for the other person to take the initiative to express his thoughts.
"Headmaster Jiang seems to be injured." Although he knew that Dou Jinfan had also seen the problem, it was Liang Pusheng who finally said this, "I heard that Liu Kuiyi and Sun Baotai of the Jincheng Sect were chasing Master Jiang. I didn't know that they
How is it?"
"Oh? I didn't see them. Maybe they passed each other in a hurry and didn't notice each other."
Jiang Feng laughed and didn't tell the truth. Although his injuries were obvious, it didn't mean that when Sun Baotai and Liu Kui were killed by him, they were just the president and second-in-command of their respective chambers of commerce. They were not related to the Jincheng faction.
Although there is close cooperation, it is not a complete community of interests. Judging from the fact that the Changning Chamber of Commerce has not moved its headquarters to Jinchengpai, they must have other plans secretly.
"So that's it." Liang Pusheng understood and did not continue to ask about this topic. "We have a doctor in Fulou Chamber of Commerce. How about I call him to come and treat Master Jiang?"
"Thank you for your kindness. But it's nothing serious. It won't be too late to deal with it when we get back to Qianshan Sect." Although the other party may have good intentions, Jiang Feng did not dare to believe it rashly. If that person did something wrong, it might cause unnecessary problems.
The risk. Previous experience showed that people without common interests cannot be fully trusted. In this regard, he would rather believe in Dou Jinqiu. After all, the two have some cooperation and have the experience of helping each other to resist the enemy. Although his healing skills are
There are certain side effects, but if it is not cured but only relieved, it is not expected to be serious.
"Headmaster Jiang has misunderstood. This doctor is not affiliated with our Fulou Chamber of Commerce, but serves several chambers of commerce here. His reputation and medical skills are guaranteed." At this point, Dou Jinfan also nodded in affirmation.
"What the hell, Fellow Daoist Liang misunderstood, I just don't want to cause you any trouble." Jiang Feng resigned himself to it. It would be good to have a doctor. He could be cured in one go. It would be safer when he returned to Luochuan and passed near Beimu County. At that time,
When several sects were fighting fiercely, the scene was extremely chaotic, and no one knew who was targeting him. However, anyone who missed him would definitely find trouble on his way back to Luochuan.
Returning to a healed body is naturally much safer.
"Actually, there is a reason why President Dou and I have a small gathering here today." Liang Pusheng stood up and took out a map of the Seven Leagues from his storage bag, "I mentioned this to Leader Jiang before.
We also contributed to the Jincheng sect's transformation into an alliance, and got a lot of promises from it. For example, the Jincheng sect, Lelinmen and Huanglong sect can freely operate trade routes, obtain land at low prices in many cities, and
It is a good thing to build a business warehouse, freely move all kinds of materials and reduce taxes appropriately. Compared with each business association that operates by itself, we already have better fields and cheaper purchase channels. However,
Now the situation has changed a lot.”
He looked up at Dou Jinfan and Jiang Feng, and sighed lightly, "We just learned that the Lingcong Chamber of Commerce and the Jincheng League have reached almost the same conditions. In other words, there will be an extremely powerful person here.
Strong competitors, which is a big harm to the interests of our two chambers of commerce."
"Furthermore, the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce has obtained the exclusive right to sell fifteen types of monk supplies. This is the key."
"Why don't you go talk to Su Li Qingchen?"
As soon as Jiang Feng raised this question, he immediately felt that he had asked too much. The Jincheng faction had "changed the sect into an alliance" and was coercing and infringing on Su Liqing's interests. Although Su Liqing took the initiative to raise the case, Jiang Feng was puzzled and wondered whether he had found another way.
, took a step back to achieve greater ambitions, but based on Jiang Feng's current understanding of the situation, he did not understand his true thoughts.
And it is precisely because the two participated in the behavior of "forcing the palace to take sides" that Su Liqing will not solve the matter for them. In the head-to-head competition with the Lingcong Chamber of Commerce, the two families are obviously not opponents.
"Su Liqing and we actually met together."
Unexpectedly, Liang Pusheng gave a different answer, "But Su Liqing said that he was just the leader of the alliance and could only decide after discussing with Leng Tingtao and Zuo Zichan. However, Leng Tingtao and Zuo Zichan used the excuse that the other party was too strong.
, it cannot be solved for the time being. Although the attitude is very good, it has not solved the matter."
This is natural. As the leader, Jiang Feng knew that the Lingcong Chamber of Commerce was much larger than the Changning Chamber of Commerce. As for the Fulou Chamber of Commerce, since it often interacts with the Changning Chamber of Commerce, it must be similar in size and can be compared with Lingcong Chamber of Commerce.
By cooperating with chambers of commerce, you can naturally gain more benefits. Su Liqing, Leng Tingtao and Zuo Zichan know this very well. If they were replaced, they would make the same choice. In addition, the three companies have their own operations.
The government-run chamber of commerce at this time should be more concerned about the business issues of its own chamber of commerce. As for the Changning Chamber of Commerce and the Fulou Chamber of Commerce that have helped me, they just try to comfort me. After all, if the two companies have earned spiritual stones, they will not give me more.
Sharing profits cannot solve the problems of one's own sect.
You don't know that firewood and rice are expensive when you are not a master. I think that Leng Tingtao and Zuo Zichan, who first came to the head of the family, should be as stretched as they are in terms of expenditure. They don't know where to extract more benefits. For those who are related to them,
The Changning Chamber of Commerce and the Fulou Chamber of Commerce, which are competing for food from their own chambers of commerce, will naturally be much more negligent. Moreover, Su Liqing has already obeyed, and the value of the two of them has also shrunk a lot. They only need to maintain a friendly relationship, and there is no need to be too friendly.
Thinking about it this way, what kind of key conditions did the Lingcong Chamber of Commerce put forward that everyone in the Jincheng League could not refuse? Thinking about the previous understanding of the Lingcong Chamber of Commerce, could it be that it opened up the trade routes between Tianlimen and Huatimen? So
I think that supplies from northern families and even tribes as far away as the Northern Wilderness can be transported to various places through the Jincheng Sect. No, it is not possible without the support of the Chixia Sect. In this way, if an agreement can be reached, Chixia
The door should also be among them. This is consistent with the appearance of everyone sitting down again after the melee of the Seven Alliances to share the fruits of victory.
After thinking through this point, the current worries of the two chambers of commerce have become clear. In Chixiamen, the two companies do not have official signs and are not popular. After taking a gamble with the Jincheng faction, I thought that
They could be exchanged for first-class support, but they were intercepted halfway by the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce, which was stronger and could provide more resources, and their intended goal was in vain.
"I wonder if you two are interested in coming to Qianshan Sect to develop?"
"We have made a rough layout of your sect. If something happens, we need to trouble Leader Jiang to deal with it." Liang Pusheng said politely, "But the Jincheng Alliance is still the key. Although the materials of Li Sect, Yufeng Sect and many sects in the west will be
Shipping to the Jincheng Sect via the Guizong is not the only way. Moreover, I heard that you have reached a consensus with them about the Yufeng Sect's business, so there should be no possibility of us participating in it anymore, right?"
"That's true." Jiang Feng knew that the other party was politely refusing. Since the Qianshan Sect does not have many people and monks, its own capacity is limited, and its business is not large. It only earns some spiritual stones from the exchange of supplies, and there are competitors.
There is little benefit to the two families, so the lack of interest on the part of the other party is understandable.
"Of course, if Master Jiang is willing to hand over all the business in Donghu County and Tuqiao Town to us, we are also willing." Dou Jinfan suddenly interrupted, "However, we hope that you can help us deal with it.
Recommended to Li Zong, I heard that you have many friends in several major families in Li Zong."
Huh? Who told you this? You guys are well-informed. Jiang Feng couldn't help complaining in his heart. He did have a few friends in Li Zong, but except for Xiao Mingzhen and Chu Yiming who were "true friends", the others were
It was used for blowing, but I didn’t expect that the other party would seize the opportunity and treat it as the real thing. Thinking about it, I was trapped by this, and I went to the doctor when I was sick.
Wrong, totally wrong!
Jiang Feng immediately thought that he was worrying too much. These two people were obviously in the rhythm of "shooting with or without dates". It would be great if they could help. It would be no loss if they couldn't. Apart from a dinner without wine, it seemed that
He didn't spend an extra spirit stone. Thinking back to Dou Jinqiu's previous visit to him to seek a solution to the Changning Chamber of Commerce, he probably had the same thought. When these businessmen encountered difficulties, they must have taken a multi-pronged approach, and would not expect that their weak roots were not strong.
of straw.
However, it is also unrealistic to completely hand over the business between the two places to the other party. Fortunately, Donghu County has promised the Changning Chamber of Commerce before, but there is no exclusive plan. Tuqiao Town has already promised the Zhong family and Liu Xiqing of Li Zong.
It might be inappropriate for Cheng Pingqian, Cheng Keyou and others to change their minds rashly now. Unlike the Jincheng Sect, the Qianshan Sect does not have such a deep accumulation to break their promises repeatedly. The most important thing is to seek promotion in a stable manner.
Thinking of this, he just agreed casually, saying that he would do his best, but did not make any substantial promises. In fact, Jiang Feng could not make any promises. For a while, the scene was a little deserted. Jiang Feng was about to stand up and leave.
But he accidentally glanced at the map that was laid out flat.
Yes, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and he thought of a plan. However, this also required the help of the two people in front of him, and there was also a thorny problem, and he also needed to suffer some losses.
However, this is a good way.
"I have a way. You can go to Zhanchuan Town, right here." He pointed to an unmarked location on the map, which is southeast of Qianshan Sect and adjacent to the former site of Heishuimen. At this time, it is Su Liqing's territory.
After "changing the sect into an alliance", the barren swamp that was originally planned to be "managed" by Jiang Feng according to the marriage contract was assigned to Su Liqing.
here?
Although the two of them did not know that this place was called Zhanchuan Town before, they knew about the Poisonous Spring Swamp. Since the destruction of the Black Water Gate, the number of people in this swamp has decreased a lot. After being annexed by the Jincheng Sect, they did not spend time or money to manage it.
There are no signs of business opportunities in such a deserted land, not to mention that even if there are, it is still the territory leading to Suli Qing.
"According to the agreement between Su Liqing and I," Jiang Feng said here. He glanced at Liang Pusheng, who was involved in rounding up him, and saw that his expression changed slightly. He must have remembered the past, but his expression soon returned to normal, and he even looked back at Liang Pusheng.
Dou Jinfan explained, "Headmaster Jiang is Su Liqing's son-in-law. Su Liqing previously promised to hand over the former place of Blackwater Gate to Headmaster Jiang to manage."
"Yes, that's what I mean." Jiang Feng smiled, "So, this swamp should belong to me." Jiang Feng's finger went south from Zhanchuan Town to the border with Wei State, which has now been clearly defined
It is marked as Tianyin Temple and Qing Yu Zong. "If a county is set up here, business can go directly to the south and go to the sea through Qing Yu Zong."
"Why not go through Tianyin Temple?" Dou Jinfan didn't seem to understand. From the map, the border between Heishuimen's former place and Tianyin Temple was longer, but the common border with Qing Yu Sect was so short, it could be ten miles away?
"This place is full of wild mountains, and ordinary caravans cannot pass through." Liang Pusheng was familiar with the situation here, "Unless you can spend a lot of money to open up a new trade route."
"Oh." Dou Jinfan immediately understood. He was not interested in spending a lot of money to open up trade routes. Speaking of this swamp, there is still some possibility. After all, it is just filled with earth and rocks. Compared with opening up a mountain, the cost is much smaller. And so
Come on, this trade route seems to be able to completely bypass the Jincheng Sect.
"However, your agreement with Su Liqing seems to be to hand over the north to Sun Baotai and Liu Kuiyi." Liang Pusheng interrupted, and he was slightly interested in Jiang Feng's proposal.
"Aren't they back yet?" Jiang Feng smiled, still not saying that both of them were lying in their storage bags. The only difference was that Liu Kui was possessed by the weapon spirit Xiao Luo and could not use it again.
"So, I need your help. If you are willing, let's call this place 'Xinyuan County'. All the industries and material operations can be left to you."
"this……"
The expressions of the two people changed suddenly at the same time. If it is true as Jiang Feng said, then the supplies of the northern sects can also be transported to the south through here, which is equivalent to opening up a new trade route and re-opening a new trade route. The benefits will definitely be huge. However, this seems to be
It also requires taking risks. Su Liqing will definitely not fail to see the benefits. Whether he can obey is still a big question. Although this territory is not worth mentioning compared to the Jincheng League, after all, it has a long history with the Qing Yu Sect.
There are many places with better conditions on the border, but if he wants to open up another trade route, it will also harm his interests.
"I'll think about it." Dou Jinfan was the first to express his opinion.
"I'll go back and take a closer look." Liang Pusheng also nodded, but his expression was a little solemn and hesitant, as if he had something on his mind, and was not as relaxed as Dou Jinfan.
"This matter cannot be rushed. I also need to open up the relationship with the Qing Yu Sect. I have some old friendships before and may need to get in touch again." Jiang Feng secretly thought in his heart. In fact, the Wan Lao Demon should be chasing me. The obstacles on this road need to be removed.
Trying to find a way to persuade Su Liqing, it seems that this is the key to the constraint. The question is, how to resolve the grudges caused by the "Emerald Jade Talisman" between himself and Wan Laomo? He was a little confused for a while, but fortunately he still had time to deal with it.
If the two families want to plan this matter, they have to make a lot of determination.
That night, Jiang Feng rested at the headquarters of the Changning Chamber of Commerce. Early the next morning, an elderly doctor came. It can be seen that after the new idea was proposed, the two of them were really concerned about their injuries. However, they still had to pay for the consultation themselves.
Fu. The old man first collected two third-level pills, and it only took two and a half hours to clear the bruises in Jiang Feng's body. However, the erysipelas in his body could not be removed, so he had to find other ways.
"Your injuries are really serious. I was much less injured before." The old man complained as he played a cleaning charm to remove the sweat stains on his body.
"Thank you very much."
Jiang Feng smiled and thanked the other party sincerely, thinking that during your treatment, I actually transferred all the spiritual energy in my body to my right arm. Now, thanks to your gift, our master and disciples have all recovered. If it weren't for Black
The damage to the Snake Spirit Taihua and the Weapon Spirit Xiao Luo is different from that of ordinary people. I hope you can treat them together. Thinking about these two third-level items, it is quite worth the money spent.
After staying at the Changning Chamber of Commerce for a while, Jiang Feng left, agreeing that in half a month, the two of them would visit Luo Chuan together to make a decision. However, this time Jiang Feng was determined that once the other party agreed to cooperate, he would make a soul oath and never do it again.
The flaw of Churuijinmen is that you will gain wisdom after every pitfall, and you can never fall into the same pit twice.
Jiang Feng, who had just left the boundary of Wenqu Town, had recovered, and his senses had returned to sensitivity. He soon found a stranger touching him. He paused for a moment, but the spiritual monk who followed him had no intention of stopping.
