Not long after, Ning Yi saw Lu Hongti in the side room. Her face looked a bit long and her complexion was sallow. She looked like a village girl in her thirties. But Ning Yi's temperament at first glance
Shangbian also recognized her. She had changed her appearance, but her eyes still had a calming aura. She was the woman who had taught him the inner strength of breaking the six paths and kept saying that it was a second-rate skill.
After meeting, Su Tan'er didn't beat around the bush and asked if the two were old acquaintances. Ning Yi bowed his hands in salute and said with a smile: "Master." This startled Su Tan'er, and she was stunned for a moment before calming down.
She was about to kneel down when she raised her skirt. Lu Hongti blinked and then supported her: "Don't talk nonsense, I can't accept you as a disciple."
Although Lu Hongti is in the same grade as Ning Yi, Xigua and others, she has a gentle temper and seems to be much calmer. She is dressed as a thirty-year-old at this time, so no one will be suspicious. The three of them chatted for a while.
, Su Tan'er probably knew that although the heroine did not admit that she and Ning Yi were master-disciple relationships, she did teach her husband's kung fu, so she had to treat her as an elder. If the two of them wanted to talk in depth, she would not
Fortunately, after serving tea, he left, leaving the two of them a chance to talk alone.
After his wife left, Ning Yi asked: "Are you coming here to form an alliance with Fang La or something? In addition... Tan'er said that you are being hunted down?"
Lu Hongti looked at him for a while: "I came here specially to find you."
"Um?"
Ning Yi was stunned. This reason was indeed beyond his expectation. After all, Lu Liang had come all the way here just to contact one person, so it was not worth her trip. Then, she heard Lu Hong mention it.
Got the reason.
"Well... this year, as you said, the village has been running very well. Things are done as you said before. We contacted the merchants on both sides so that they could borrow roads from Luliang Mountain. In addition to contacting
The rest of the supplies related to the war can be passed on. There is a war this year, but all kinds of goods are in tighter demand. We will take a commission according to the market price. The reward will be converted into salt, iron, and grain, and let familiar merchants bring them in advance. We also go to the nearby
We said hello to several villages in the village, and they gave it to us. We contributed some people and gave them some things. Oh, we had to convince them before. It took a lot of effort..."
This part of the thing that Ning Yi had envisioned for him before was actually a pure commercial operation. It was actually simple to say that Lu Hongti's village provided a one-stop service for crossing the Luliang Mountains. People from here would follow the whole process to ensure that
Security is also determined by people here coordinating with several forces along the way and giving them a certain share. In the past, the situation in Luliang Mountain was actually quite chaotic. The roads in the poor mountains and rivers were difficult to navigate, and the vendors risked their lives to cross the mountain. They were blocked on the road.
When it comes to robbing, if you meet someone who follows some rules, you might be able to get away with paying a protection fee. But when you encounter a village that is starving, it is common to kill people and steal all the goods.
The problem is that under such circumstances, each village may not be able to get what they want, and few merchants will take this road just to sell some grain. If you grab a cart of cloth and want to exchange it for grain with the outside world, just
They will definitely be slaughtered. In the end, the benefits are actually quite limited. In addition, people who are forced to go up the mountain feel that they have no future, and they tend to live in leisure and indolence. In the attitude of being carefree, one day at a time. On the contrary, everyone is getting through it.
Be embarrassed.
Modern commercial operations will not directly optimize production, but it will first coordinate distribution and lead to healthy development. In the past, grain merchants who dared to enter the mountains must make a lot of money, but now Lu Hongti only follows the market price, which makes people think
Familiar merchants only need to bring enough salt, iron, and food for the toll. The one-stop security service will also make the merchants more willing to help Lu Hongti. In other villages, they don’t contribute people or efforts, and of course they can’t take the big bucks.
, but even if the harvest is small, it is better than the previous harvest. Most people still feel that this place is quite kind.
In a chaotic system, as long as a system is formed and rules are established, there will definitely be profits. Of course, not everyone is jealous of such things, but one year is just the beginning in this kind of business, and those who are alerted are still
Not much. And even if others want to do it, they won't be able to do it for a while. As mentioned before, people who go up the mountain are not hard-working people. Their efforts in the past have no direction, they just muddle through. To maintain a
Smuggling channels, coordinating people from all walks of life, and making great efforts to control the movements in the mountains are actually not an easy task. For those involved, it is equivalent to working from 9 to 5 or even working overtime.
For these bandits, who are used to being free and unrestrained, who would want to go to work every day?
To really make things work, Lu Hongti had to rely on all kinds of ideological work he did in the village, recalling hardships and sweet memories, telling stories, and even "rescued" a family of opera singers who stayed in the village every seven days.
Performing a play. What Ning Yi said at the beginning was just to apply things like shopping mall operations, company culture, and institutional indicators into it. It was actually quite difficult for Lu Hongti to start. But the effect after everything is combined,
It was obviously beyond her imagination.
Of course, among these, force is also important. If you want to make all the people in the villages along the way work together and not make mistakes, it is impossible to rely on interests and coordination alone. During this period, there must have been fights.
It’s bloody. But no matter what, it sounds like this business has basically taken shape under Lu Hongti’s hands.
"...Tian Hu has always reached out to us. In March, he invited the village owners to discuss matters. Seven of the village owners who went there were killed. Most of the village leaders surrendered to Tian Hu. But fortunately, we have not yet been able to do this.
When the news spread, some people were dissatisfied and came to vote for me. In the past few months, the village has grown bigger and bigger. Tian Hu probably has no intention of taking action against me for the time being. I heard that he thinks our side is just
Those who do business are a bit looked down upon. But you have also said before that if the village suddenly becomes too big, it will be very troublesome if the village cannot keep up with the ideological work. Grandpa Liang also said that this is the case, and then asked me
I went south to Jiangning to find you."
When Lu Hongti said this, he looked at Ning Yi and laughed: "Originally, I wanted to take you back to Luliang."
It turned out that the organization had reached a bottleneck and was no longer sure what to do next. Ning Yi understood and laughed: "I am forced to go to the end of the mountain. This is..."
"I'm not forcing you to go to Liangshan, but to go to Luliang." At this time, forcing you to go to Liangshan naturally has no special meaning. Lu Hongti corrected him seriously, "But when I went to Jiangning, I heard that Fang La became the emperor below. If you are not in the Su family, I will
Went to the home of your confidante named Nie Yunzhu - you asked me to deliver the letter originally, I still remember the place, but judging from her condition at the time, I thought you were dead. Later, I showed up to inquire and found out that you were trapped.
There was no news from Hangzhou, so I continued my journey south."
Ning Yi thought for a while: "How is she?"
"I'm just worried about you, and Miss Yuan Jin'er Yuan, it's quite interesting." Lu Hongti smiled, "I said I would protect you, and I almost knocked down a tree across the river, so they felt relieved.
After I arrived in Huzhou, I heard about you again. At that time, I secretly found your wife and watched her for a while. When I saw her preparing to go south, I pretended to be chased on the road and asked her for a favor... Follow
It's always easier to find you when you're with her, and besides, I originally planned to let you owe me some favors."
Ning Yi nodded: "I can't thank you enough."
Lu Hongti just smiled: "Here in Hangzhou, you are so involved, when can you leave?"
"I can't figure it out, but don't rob me." Ning Yi crossed his hands, "Let me make a detailed five-year plan for you. I probably won't be able to go to Luliang Mountain for the time being. Things are over here in Hangzhou. I
I have to go to Beijing. The situation in Wu Dynasty is in dire straits now. I know the right minister and I probably want to help."
"You... want to be an official?" Lu Hongti frowned.
"Become a staff member, maybe help with some logistics work."
"...Now that Jin and Liao are at war, the Wu Dynasty is in dire straits. Does the imperial court... really want to take the opportunity to break through Liao and take over the sixteen states of Yanyun?"
Although he was a bandit, Lu Hongti was actually quite concerned about the situation of Wu Dynasty. Ning Yi just smiled and shook his head: "It's impossible. Jin will destroy Liao. Liao is an old wolf.
, The Kingdom of Jin is a tiger. What we are afraid of now is that after the tiger kills the wolf, it finds a sheep underneath and continues to kill it. The Wu Dynasty has no strength and always wants to be a strategist who has nothing to do with the white wolf.
, what I am afraid of is that the country will perish in the end..."
"Well." Lu Hongti understood this and nodded, "Then... the five-year plan you mentioned is..."
"When you have time, tell me about the situation in Luliang and all the details around you. Then the two of us will make one or more plans to see what to do in the future. However, the general direction,
It's conceivable at the moment." Ning Yi thought about it, laughed, stretched out his hand and gestured casually, "Strengthen your control over the surrounding area, rely on Luliang Mountain, engage in smuggling, and develop your place into a smuggling transfer station or free port.
...Well, it is to allow smuggling traders to live there, create a market there, provide protection and provide order."
"...Iron items and war horses from the north are allowed to be transported to the south, and luxury goods from the south are allowed to be transported to the north. If we develop a little more strength, we can rob the things from the Liao people, kill the traders from the Liao people, and auction the things in Luliang Mountain.
Do business with Tian Hu, sell things from Wu Dynasty and Liao Kingdom to them, and do business with Wu Dynasty at the same time. If there are any heads of Liao people or army armor, sell them to the army of Wu Dynasty. Before you
Didn’t you also fight against the Liao people? The heads are probably wasted, and this must be very profitable. In the end, it would be best if a neutral three-person town could be built, but for now, we can basically think about this direction..."
