Some people are called powerful, and some people are called legends. They are destined to remain in the annals of history and some story books.
For businesses large and small in Yunqin, Da Dexiang’s female shopkeeper Chen Feirong is a legend.
All the people in Da Dexiang are naturally proud of this legend. When they think that their names may remain in the stories of future generations as Da Dexiang continues to grow, they naturally respect Chen Feirong immensely.
However, Chen Feirong knew very well that the person who brought all this to her was the young man waiting for her in the inn behind Da Dexiang's shop.
…
Chen Feirong passed through Dadexiang's soap shop and entered the inn, which had only two entrances.
This inn is very ordinary. It is used by some elderly people who have no children in Dadexiang Qixia Province. It is like a nursing home. However, the businessmen and travelers in Qixia Province like to take care of their own people when they are outside, so this inn is like a nursing home.
It has become the Qixia Fellows Guild Hall. Caravans and travelers from Qixia Province who pass through these market towns will choose this inn, and the business is not bad.
For Chen Feirong, such an inn means absolute privacy and safety.
A business of the size of Da Dexiang, the court, and even some large rival businesses would naturally try to recruit some people on the contrary, but the employees in this inn were all born and raised in Qixia Province for sixty or seventy years.
It is naturally impossible for the old man to be placed in any position. Moreover, the court and competitors will not have any interest in an industry like Da Dexiang.
Because after arriving in Bishui Province, these old people from Qixia Province were often taken to the farm by Xu Sheng to attend some banquets. After Chen Feirong arrived in Bishui Province, these old people saw Chen Feirong more often than usual.
Dexiang has more employees, so when they saw Chen Feirong come in, these old people did not seem overly surprised or surprised.
But just like Chen Feirong's last visit, there was an old man helping her make tea attentively, and an old woman cooking some exquisite snacks that could only be eaten in Qixia Province.
After chatting with these old people about daily life and carefully asking some questions about their health and habits, Chen Feirong walked to the second floor of the backyard of the inn, knocked on the door and walked into a secluded wing.
After slowly closing the door, Chen Feirong looked at the smiling young man, bowed deeply, and said with a smile: "Long time no see."
"If you are well, it will be a sunny day." Lin Xi smiled and said: "When I read this sentence before, I always thought it was very sour and rotten, but now I feel that this kind of sentence is very suitable for us when we meet again.
Mood."
When he said this, he looked at Chen Feirong, who was becoming more dignified and beautiful, and felt that women were indeed creatures from a different planet than men. Things like temperament seemed to be more obvious in women than in men.
"Adults always like to talk nonsense that others can't understand."
Chen Feirong smiled, looked at the tall and beautiful girl who returned the gift to her, pursed her lips and said: "This must be Yanan, the daughter of Zhou Shoufu's family. When you left the Biluo Mausoleum injured and unconscious, you would shout a lot every day.
The person whose name is everywhere.”
Gao Yanan's face suddenly turned red.
"Nangong Weiyang is actually such a gossip?" Lin Xi was shocked.
Just Chen Feirong's words of ridicule made the interior of this secluded wing suddenly come alive and full of fireworks.
"Gossip is a new word. Does it mean talkative?" Chen Feirong sat down and chuckled: "Nangong Weiyang doesn't talk much, but I will ask more about your physical and mental condition.
She would answer all kinds of questions very seriously, so I knew."
"Too honest always makes people helpless. If she were a monk, she would be an honest monk." Lin Xi shook her head helplessly, said this "nonsense" again, and then asked: "Where is she and Zhantai Qantang?"
How’s your business doing recently?”
“Much better than we expected.”
Chen Feirong became more serious, looked at Lin Xi and Gao Yanan, and said softly: "Now that the war in Nanling Province is going on, even some imperial workshops and some ores are in short supply, and some large private workshops are beginning to have shortages of raw materials, so
The production value of dragons and snakes is higher, but too much outflow in the black market may attract the attention of some powerful forces in the court, so they are still holding back on quantity. Recently, they have built their own workshops, but it is difficult to find craftsmen."
"The talents of statecraft are used to do these things, and they are really overqualified. No matter how well they do it, it would not surprise me." Lin Xi laughed, "Since we have to support our troops with self-respect, sophisticated armaments are a must. With their abilities, they have
It’s only a matter of time for the powerful workshops to digest some of the backlog of goods.”
Chen Feirong also laughed, "With the abilities of Nangong Weiyang and Zhantai Qantang, and the support of the cave barbarians of the entire Great Wilderness, I'm afraid that when the rogue bandits from Aojiao Mountain show up in the future, they will be more capable than Yunqin's elite
The military equipment is pretty good."
"Now every investment made by Da Dexiang has a very good return. No business is losing money, and Da Dexiang is not short of money. Their money has nowhere to go for the time being, and they pile it up on themselves regardless of the cost.
, armaments... We just have to wait and see." Lin Xi looked at Chen Feirong and said seriously: "You and Xu Sheng here have done much better than I imagined. When I came last year, here
It is still equivalent to a frontier for exiled prisoners, but now these market towns have been established and it has become so lively."
"Sir, are you praising yourself?" Chen Feirong pursed her lips and smiled.
"Starting from scratch, if you want to make some achievements, the results will be faster, and the situation is constantly changing. No matter how shrewd your calculation is, you will always hit the trend of others." Lin Xi's face became serious, "I was originally worried.
You can't deal with the Liu family, but now it seems that Da Dexiang may be in a more serious crisis. If one mistake is made, all our previous plans may be in vain, and Da Dexiang will be ruined."
Chen Feirong frowned and asked seriously: "What is so serious?"
Lin Xi glanced at Gao Yanan. Gao Yanan looked at Chen Feirong and said: "The Divine Elephant Army... The Divine Elephant Army, the strongest army in Tang and Tibet, appeared in the Prajna Corridor. According to military information, it was the Jiang family who colluded with the Divine Elephant Army for the purpose
It is to seize the large amount of military equipment secretly hidden by Wenren Cang Yue in Biluo Mausoleum."
"It's extremely serious."
Chen Feirong's brows furrowed even deeper. She knew that although Zhou's first assistant had resigned, the news he could learn after so many years as the first assistant was probably faster than what most powerful people in Yunqin knew. Now the entire story of Da Dexiang
The center of gravity, the cornerstone on which Su Youji and other companies were crushed came from the current war between Yunqin and Damang, and from the opportunity they gained in Biluoling. The war between Yunqin and Damang is deepening and intensifying, and in the next
Autumn and winter will definitely not end, so as long as this autumn and winter, Dade Xiang may take off again. Under such circumstances, if there is another big war in Biluoling, it will be equivalent to destroying the entire Dade Xiang granary.
Xiang's foundation has now been burned away, and there is no return for the huge investment. I am afraid that Da Dexiang will not even be able to turn over.
"Fortunately, most of our large amount of money investment is in Bishui Province. Even if the war breaks out soon, it will not hit us so quickly." Lin Xi looked at Chen Feirong and said: "Zhou Shoufu does not believe that the Jiang family will collude with the Shenxiang Army.
, but currently all the evidence points to the Jiang family, and the Jiang family and the emperor have been at odds because of the changes in the Prajna Corridor. The direction of the Tianluo and Bishui provinces is still unclear, at least we are on some farms in the Tianluo province.
The development plan needs to be delayed for a while."
Chen Feirong nodded and said thoughtfully: "Since there is such news about the Divine Elephant Army, there is one thing that seems particularly suspicious."
Lin Xi asked softly: "What's the matter?"
"In addition to the military, the food and daily necessities in Wuren City and some market towns in Bishui and Tianluo Provinces are naturally provided by our Da Dexiang. After the robbery of Su Youji's motorcade, Xu Sheng checked the accounts
It was discovered that, starting dozens of days ago, the shipment volume of some grains, cornmeal and other grains has increased a lot. But in the past few days, the shipment volume of grains, cornmeal, and ordinary rice flour has returned to the previous level."
"This is indeed very suspicious." Lin Xi frowned slightly: "Just by checking the accounts, you can see the obvious difference. It must be that the amount is not ordinary... Su Youji's motorcade carried a large amount of grain and seeds, so it should be considered that,
The previous shipments of cereals and cornmeal were large because of the arrival of the Elephant Army, because those elephants eat a lot. The subsequent decline in shipments may be because the food carried by Su Youji's convoy satisfied the temporary needs of the Elephant Army.
need."
Chen Feirong looked at Lin Xi and Gao Yanan and said, "I couldn't figure out the connection before, but now that I heard the news about the Elephant Army, I thought the same thing as you."
Gao Yanan whispered: "Does the military know this news?"
"I waited for your Excellency to make a decision and did not tell the military. It is impossible for the entire Biluo Ling, whether it is the military, the court, or other large trading houses, to find out such a thing." Chen Feirong looked at Gao Yanan calmly.
And said with certainty.
"That's right." Lin Xi nodded, "Dadexiang's current business is equivalent to a monopoly in the entire Biluoling. In fact, it is equivalent to the strongest and largest intelligence agency in Biluoling. Have you and Xu Sheng investigated this in the past few days?
Where does the extra food go?”
"It's been found out." Chen Feirong said: "Most of them went to the Sunset Racecourse. There was originally a military horse farm of the Biluo Border Army near the Sunset Hills in Tianluo Province. After it was abandoned during the war, when the province was divided, it was separated from the military headquarters.
He went out and handed it over to a businessman named Lu, who is from Heluo Province. The horse farm is not small in size, but it probably won’t use that much grain, and there shouldn’t be any signs of large-scale expansion.”
"You checked very carefully." Lin Xi thought for a while, turned to look at Gao Yanan, and said: "When I came here, I didn't think of any way to deal with the Shenxiang Army and save this serious crisis in Da Dexiang. I felt that it was not easy.
The money empire that has been built up to some extent may suddenly collapse due to this inexplicable war, but now this incident has given me some ideas to deal with the Divine Elephant Army... Regardless of whether the Divine Elephant Army belongs to the Jiang family after all
, or from other families, such a crisis for Dadexiang and Yunqin must be dealt with... Yanan, I'm afraid you have to try to help me contact your father and Qingluan Academy. I need some help from them.
"
Watching Gao Yanan nod, after a slight pause, Lin Xi continued: "Since there are things left by Dean Zhang like Dahei, and there are previous grudges, the college should also be prepared... tell the college the news
And your father, I wonder if they have the same idea as me and can help me prepare something."
"What are your thoughts and what do you want to prepare?" Gao Yanan and Chen Feirong looked at each other and asked Lin Xi.
"Poison, a lot of poison." Lin Xi looked at the two people and said calmly: "The Divine Elephant Army has nowhere to go in Tang and Zang. It is impossible to just grab a batch of things and leave. As long as they continue to stay near Biluo Mausoleum,
Naturally, they will also need a lot of food, and it just so happens that the food and grass supplied in Biluo Mausoleum are provided by our Dade Xiang. And they were used to using it before. After Su Youji's convoy ran out of food, they
Naturally, they will have to obtain food from us through people. Unless they want to go to war immediately."
"So you want to mix poison into the food." Gao Yanan thought for a while and said, "This is indeed a very good idea."
Lin Xi nodded and said: "The power of the Elephant Army lies in those giant white elephants. White giant elephants eat a lot. It should be difficult to detect some poison mixed in their rations. So the key is that we make sure that the food entering the racecourse must be certain."
You will go to the Elephant Army and make sure that the food is not found to be defective at the racecourse. The key is for the college and your father to help confirm which food is used by the white elephant and the drug resistance of such a huge body. Of course, the college can be sure
A certain kind of poison can't even be detected by the sergeants of the Divine Elephant Army and can poison it, so that's naturally better. The only thing I'm worried about now is that I can prepare such a large dose of poison. For example, although I have Wen Ren Cang Yue's subordinates on me
The quicksand in Gongsun Spring is highly toxic, but the amount is too small to be used in a place like this."
"The college and my father should weigh these things." Gao Yanan looked at Lin Xi and said, "We just need to prepare our affairs and thoroughly investigate the matters at the racecourse first."
"Yes." Lin Xi smiled slightly, then looked at Chen Feirong and said, "What are the Liu family's actions now?"
Chen Feirong said: "I have been given a clear deadline. If I don't give up part of Da Dexiang's interests within this month, or use it directly for them, the Liu family will take action."
Lin Xi thought for a while and said: "They should have some evidence on hand. It seems that the Dragon and Snake border affairs have also put a lot of pressure on them. They are also afraid of your strength and are afraid that you and them will be defeated, otherwise they will not give you anything."
Deadline and so on. You tell me the whereabouts of the person in charge in Biluo Mausoleum, and I will give them some warnings... The powerful are afraid of bigger powerful people. I make them feel that they have bumped into a bigger one and cannot afford to offend them.
They will not dare to interfere in Da Dexiang's affairs from now on, and they can also provide Da Dexiang with some other cover."
Chen Feirong laughed, looked at Lin Xi with some sigh, and said: "Liu Ziyu always wants to fight with you and make you your enemy. Every time I talk to you about the Liu family, I just can't help but think about it."
, how will he feel if he knows that you are Da Dexiang’s boss in the future."
"He spent a lot of effort to deal with me." Lin Xi smiled slightly and said: "I hope to have the opportunity to see with my own eyes his reaction when he finds out."
