At the west gate of Cold Wind City, groups of carriages slowly drove away carrying heavy objects.
On horseback, the members of the Long-Legs family were full of hatred and looked at the 'rebels' on the opposite side with indifferent eyes. Old Arad also had a straight face and showed the greatest vigilance to the Long-legs family who left the city.
Due to the hatred between the two sides, today's truce is just to accumulate strength and adjust subordinates. When they meet on the battlefield again, both sides will fight to the death.
Zhou Qingfeng freed his hands from the ruins of the Supervision Office and immediately started construction in the "Fu Qiang Ling". He also spent a lot of money to purchase supplies, including everything from food, drink, toilets to building materials and population.
Old Arad would like to thank Zhou Qingfeng. Because of this young man, the "rebels" in Cold Wind City can reunite. Just a "Pinduoduo" order is enough to resolve a lot of hatred.
As for the Long-Legs family, they could no longer hold on. Two-thirds of their direct descendants were not in the city. After the rebellion, the scattered retainers showed signs of instability.
Faced with internal and external difficulties, Phils Longlegs handed over one-third of his family's territory in exchange for the remaining personnel and materials to leave Cold Wind City safely. Old Arad also gave in half a step and allowed the Longlegs family to transport away his family property.
.
It’s just that the whole family does not mean that they can move away. A large amount of family property is hoarded in the city, and now they can’t find enough carriages to move out - Zhou Qingfeng was laid off before and had already bought all the means of transportation he could buy.
Walk.
The current convoys leaving the city are only tentative. Valuable property still needs to be transported away at once.
Phils. Long Legs doesn't dare to retreat in batches. If old Arad finds an opportunity to divide and encircle them, the Long Legs family must be completely destroyed. All family members and property must leave Cold Wind City together.
In addition to valuable family properties, many more ordinary properties can only be sold at low prices. The buyer is the enemy.
Outside the long motorcade, there were several large tables grouped together at an intersection. Rubio returned to his profession as a profiteer, holding up a wooden trumpet and shouting loudly: "Buy food, cloth, furniture, and building materials at high prices.
It is currently the highest price in the city. If you miss it, you will regret it for life. If you have any property that needs to be discounted, we will provide the most accurate estimation service. Instead of throwing away the cheap traitor in vain, it is better to make a fortune from the traitor. "
Old Arad rode on horseback with several chiefs of the wizard group, and watched blankly from across the intersection, being confused by this group of profiteers who stopped halfway.
The Long-Legs family has been operating in Cold Wind City for hundreds of years and has accumulated huge wealth. It would take several months to transport all the shops, goods, and people, but Phils Long-Legs couldn't even wait a few days.
The 'rebel' dignitaries, including Old Arad, have long been sharpening their knives and thinking about how to take advantage.
According to the agreement, the supplies that cannot be transported by the Long Legs cannot be destroyed and must be kept or sold. This is really a good time for bargain hunting. The 'rebel' powerful people are all wondering whether one discount is more conscientious or two discounts is more merciful.
Who knows that Uncle Zhou has disowned his relatives in order to make money, and he has the strongest financial resources, so he spends a lot of "platinum coins" to purchase aluminum-zinc alloys that have some magical affinity. The key is that the aluminum output in the other world is very small.
.
Less than gold.
The fluffy 'platinum coin' in Zhou Qingfeng's hand is just an ordinary dime coin, but in the hand of a wizard from another world, it is a solid magical metal.
The Long-Legs family was very unhappy about selling the usually expensive materials at half price and then breaking them to the enemy. But now the situation is stronger than others, and they can't find a better buyer than Victor Hugo.
The other 'rebel' dignitaries did not have enough cash in their hands, and they could not get out hard currency even if they wanted to buy at the bottom. They could only watch helplessly as Zhou Qingfeng sent people to make purchases.
Jason stood in the line of wizards and sighed in his heart - here we go again, here we go again. The same thing happened again. It was the same result last time. Others were beaten to death, but Uncle Zhou ran out to pick peaches.
The 'rebellious' dignitaries have nothing to do with Zhou Qingfeng. They all have inextricable economic ties with this master, and they all hope to continue playing 'Pinduoduo' at low prices.
This is really a double clampdown on finance and business. It is obviously uncomfortable but there is nothing you can do about it - being sold by others and paying for others.
In front of Rubio's table, the butler of the Long Legs family came to sell the goods with a thick account book. Records on any page of the account book showed the daily necessities and commodities accumulated in a warehouse inside and outside the city.
"You still want to sell your flour at two copper coins per pound?" Rubio shook his head desperately, "This is impossible."
The old butler opposite was so angry that his hair stood on end, and he cursed: "You are going too far. This is the best refined wheat flour, and the price is usually more than five copper coins per pound. The 20,000 pounds of inventory are all prepared for the family master."
"So?" The skinny Rubio shrugged and twitched his whiskers with a smile, "Why don't you let your master eat these 20,000 pounds in one bite?"
The old butler was so angry that he banged the table, wishing he could eat Rubio. But after being angry for a long time, he could only grit his teeth and shout: "How much are you willing to pay?"
"One copper coin per pound, and platinum coins to pay, a total of two hundred yuan." Rubio smiled and pulled a cash box at hand, which contained sealed "platinum coins." "Sign the agreement now, and I will pay immediately."
Pay immediately, this is Zhou Qingfeng's trump card. Other powerful people may have a lot of wealth, but their liquidity is definitely not as good as Zhou Qingfeng's.
The old housekeeper has completed many transactions, and he also has a cash box at hand, which contains the 'platinum coins' provided by Zhou Qingfeng. This thing was punched out by the 'Holy Light Machinery' with a stamping machine, and the machine banged into one.
The 'Platinum Coin' looks similar to an arcade game coin. Because the material is aluminum and zinc, it is even lighter. At least the game coin has to move the internal structure of the arcade machine, which is made of stainless steel to ensure a certain quality.
Twenty thousand pounds of fine flour were exchanged for just two hundred aluminum coins. Zhou Qingfeng was simply the most ruthless robber. But the old housekeeper of the Long Legs family held back tears and completed the transaction.
Both parties agreed, and family members immediately went to deliver the goods.
Old Allard on the other side of the intersection stared at Rubio with a sullen face. Not only did he see the wealth of the Long Legs family being robbed by this dark and skinny profiteer, but he also saw a succession of delivery people behind Rubio.
The delivery of goods transactions is not an easy task. Inventory, weighing and liquidation require considerable knowledge and skills. The Long Legs family has been entrenched in Cold Wind City for hundreds of years and has trained hundreds of family treasurers and secretaries.
But Zhou Qingfeng is a barbarian who ran out of the Black Forest, and his subordinates are actually quite capable. Rubio can handle the entire transaction, and the delivery personnel sent out are also very efficient in their work, and there are no mistakes in counting and calculation.
This kind of talent pool is something that few families in Hanfeng City can match.
We sold flour, grains, cotton, burlap, the clothes, hats, shoes, and socks of the nobles, and the pots and pans of the slaves. In the end, some things were so complicated and worthless that they were simply cheap.
A big sale was like a mill outside the city, which was sold together with the two donkeys in the mill and the servants who took care of the donkeys, for only ten aluminum coins. Afterwards, Rubio went to count and found that there were still thousands of pounds left in the mill.
Buckwheat waiting to be processed.
Another example is that several warehouses of the city's inspection office were sold together with the slaves who guarded the warehouses for only fifty aluminum coins. After doing an inventory, Rubio found a large amount of materials confiscated by the inspection office in the warehouses.
From cars, horses, cattle and sheep to needles and threads, including hundreds of imprisoned refugees, as well as tens of thousands of pounds of horse feed from the Inspection Office, it was a mess with no one recording or managing it, and Zhou Qingfeng took advantage of everything.
A family, a city, and a ruling system that was originally running were all bought up by the aluminum coins produced by the stamping machine.
