Chapter 245: Rich Businessmen from the Western Regions
(Not revised yet, please check again tomorrow!)
There is an unusual horn horn that can be heard for hundreds of miles even in a sandstorm. It is not an ordinary horn horn, but is made of the horn of a special ferocious beast. It follows the army when it marches. And it is not an ordinary horn horn.
Two people can blow the horn at will. The size of the horn alone is more than one foot. It is placed on a high platform and four people blow in from the four air inlets at the same time.
The Western Regions are vast and sparsely populated, with many deserts and sandstorms. This seemingly clumsy horn trombone is very practical for many armies. The reason is very simple. The sound is loud and can travel far. Therefore, the people of the Western Regions
It is called "the long horn of the sand river".
"Listen to this sound, it's not close to us!" Lin Fenghuo said with a frown.
Wu Li nodded and gave a general introduction to the "Long Horns of the Sand River". For the two of them who came to the Western Regions for the first time, it was indeed a lot of experience.
"I'll go to the south gate first to check on the situation. Miss Wu should stay with City Lord Xiao here first." Lin Fenghuo whispered.
"I can go to the battlefield without anyone else's company, so I'll go with you!" Xiao Yuanfeng walked in from the door, probably after hearing Lin Fenghuo's words, and said with a firm face.
Lin Fenghuo pondered for a moment and then said: "City Master Xiao, you'd better wait here with Miss Wu. Lin Lei and I are enough at the south city gate."
Without waiting for the other party to retort, Lin Lei on the side continued to explain: "The strength of the enemy and ourselves is not clear yet, so we cannot act rashly. We will go to the south gate first and let Mr. Xiao stay here to prevent the other party from sneak attacks."
Hearing this, Wu Li and Xiao Yuanfeng looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
…
"Young Master, uh... I mean the shopkeeper. The spies in front of me came to report that the group of horse thieves have begun to attack the city!" A man dressed as a businessman called him "the shopkeeper" in a somewhat awkward manner, and stepped forward to report the report.
.
This man was extremely tall and quite large. His expression did not look like a merchant's sophistication or smoothness at all, but instead carried an aura of fierceness. And the person he called "Young Master" was squatting on a table.
On a tiger-skin seat, grapes were peeled carefully.
"These bastards can't help but take action against Loulan City? Huh, a dog can't change a shit-eater. Don't hold back, just blast him from behind!" The young man said, while using a bamboo stick to hit him hard.
It penetrated the butt of a grape, and when it was pulled out, it also brought out the grape seeds.
This young man is very well-dressed. His white robe is embroidered with auspicious clouds with gold thread, which makes him look like a "house full of wealth" and festive feeling. But strangely, this is inconsistent with his handsome appearance.
feel.
If you forcefully combine this kind of handsomeness with a sense of incongruity, you can use one word to describe him as "local tycoon", both local and wealthy! This person is none other than Qi Chengcheng, who came here from Xiaoyuan Academy a few years ago.
!
And these strong men dressed as merchants were naturally the old members of the "Shenfeng Camp" who came with him. After hearing the instructions of their young master, these men with veteran backgrounds naturally didn't waste any words and directly led a group of people to kill them.
Qi Chengcheng stuffed the grapes into his mouth and chewed them slowly. He liked to put the whole grape into his mouth and eat it, but he thought it would be troublesome to spit out the skin. However, in the past few years, when he was doing business in the Western Regions, he only had these rough guys from Shenfeng Camp around him.
It was impossible to bring a maid to serve him. In the eyes of those soldiers, grapes were eaten directly without spitting out the skin, so he had no choice but to peel them himself.
Fortunately, after five years of hard work, and with the help of the old Shenfeng Camp, he has attracted many people from the Western Regions, established a huge commercial capital, and even become a famous wealthy businessman in the Western Regions.
What is a "rich businessman"? The definition given by Jianghu is very general. On the contrary, in the Western Regions where trade is developed, he has his own definition.
With multiple trade routes and enough voice in multiple fields, in addition to merchants, it also has a good armed force and can influence the change of forces in a region.
In fact, at the beginning, Qi Chengcheng's idea was very simple, just to make more money. He knew his mission. Yinren Town was destroyed. As the only son of the three elders, although he was usually very carefree, for this matter
He and Lin Fenghuo had the same feelings about things, which were sadness, anger and powerlessness.
Qi Chengcheng clearly knew his talent in martial arts. Although his talent was good, his temperament was not suitable for him to study deeply in martial arts. Therefore, compared to Lin Fenghuo's sadness and anger, Qi Chengcheng felt more powerless.
Fortunately, Chen Chuantuo pointed out a clear way for him, which is to make money. Making huge amounts of wealth is a necessary condition for reorganizing Yinren Town, reorganizing the Yunxiao Empire, and reorganizing the Yunxiao Kingdom.
But as the years went by, he discovered that even doing business was not a simple process of putting gold and silver from other people's pockets into his own, but how to effectively transform it into resources and influence.
Qi Chengcheng seemed to have had an enlightenment, and he began to travel among the countries in the Western Regions while caring for the people everywhere. If the high-level officials here care about the people, then he will tilt the merchant resources at hand to this place to let it develop more quickly.
If the leader here does not cherish the people's strength, ignores public opinion, and insists on his own way, Qi Chengcheng will spend a lot of money to induce surrounding forces to launch a war and completely eradicate this regime.
Over time, more and more people got to know Qi Chengcheng and joined them. Business also followed people. As the number of people increased, Qi Chengcheng found that he finally understood Dean Chen's good intentions.
Be careful.
As difficult as it is to establish a force, it was just as difficult for Lin Hengshan and his three elders more than fifty years ago. Also an assistant of the Shenfeng Battalion, the fundamental reason why Qi Chengcheng was sent to the Western Regions was to bury the remains of Yinren Town.
The next root of true inheritance.
Even if tens of thousands of years have passed and Luo Yun Kingdom will no longer exist, there will still be a group of people here in the Western Region who can persist in resisting.
Qi Chengcheng did not establish political power, but continued to do business and help the poor people. He was even unwilling to accept gifts from the people because it made him feel very guilty.
Obviously, all the expenses of merchants come from the benefits obtained from business, and the business benefits of merchants naturally come from the pockets of these poor people. So it is really nice to take the money earned from the people and give it back to the people.
What about asking for gifts?
Qi Chengcheng thought about this for a long time, and finally returned these gifts and gifts personally. This alone made him different from other merchants. It also made him a wealthy businessman in the Western Regions recognized by the countries in the Western Regions!
…
Lin Fenghuo felt the number of enemies. To his surprise, these horse thieves were of very high quality, and their movement speed in the sandstorm was no worse than Luo Yunguo's black cavalry! This shows how powerful the horse thieves are in individual combat!
