"From now on, the Ning family army consists of Qinglong Camp, White Tiger Camp, Xuanwu Camp, Suzaku Camp, Shenji Camp, Shadow Guard Department, Logistics Department, and Skyfire Management Department. No matter which battalion or department they are, they are all members of the Ning Family.
Brothers in the army, there is no distinction between high and low, we only have a common goal, which is to fight for the Ning family army."
After Ning Xiaofan finished speaking, everyone present was excited.
"Fight for the Ning family army!"
"Path of loyalty to the Commander-in-Chief!"
"Long live the Commander-in-Chief!"
He was immediately immersed in everyone's shouts.
It was also from this moment that the real Ning Family Army was truly born.
The Sky Blue Continent marked the beginning of the era of the Ning Family Army, which slowly began from this moment.
With the establishment of all departments of the Ning Family Army, all personnel were assigned to their respective positions, and Ning Xiaofan went to Linyang City at this time.
When he came here again, Ning Xiaofan was naturally familiar with the business, and he directly changed to the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.
After arriving here, many people here already knew this Ning Xiaofan, because some things happened to Ning Xiaofan here before that made people here frightened. More importantly, Ning Xiaofan even connected Cao Xiong at that time.
His son was hung up and beaten, and more importantly, Cao Xiong didn't even dare to fart.
Who is Ning Xiaofan? No one knows, but everyone understands that Ning Xiaofan is an unfathomable guy and a person who must not be offended.
"Mr. Ning, what brings you here? Please come in quickly. Please come in quickly."
The person who spoke was none other than Ximen Qing.
When Ximen Qing learned that Ning Xiaofan was coming, he immediately ran over with a flattering look on his face.
Ning Xiaofan said: "Shop manager Ximen, you're welcome. I'm here to ask for a favor from you today."
Ximen Qing said quickly: "Mr. Ning, look at what you said, what does it mean to ask for something from me? There is no relationship between us that does not ask for anything. If you have anything to ask for, I, Ximen Qing, will help you if I can."
You do it, but I, Ximen Qing, have to do it for you no matter how hard you try."
Ning Xiaofan burst into laughter listening to Ximen Qing's words.
Ning Xiaofan said: "Shopkeeper Ximen is really a good friend. Actually, I don't have anything to tell you. I just want to buy some iron."
"iron?"
Ximen Qing suddenly asked Ning Xiaofan in confusion.
"Mr. Ning, what do you want these things for?"
Ning Xiaofan said: "Of course it is useful. Why is Shopkeeper Ximen in trouble?"
Ximen Qing said: "I wonder how much iron Mr. Ning wants."
Ning Xiaofan smiled and said: "Of course, the more, the better. If possible, have you seen this house of yours? It would be best if it could be filled up."
"What?" After Ximen Qing heard Ning Xiaofan's words, he immediately didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Mr. Ning, are you kidding?"
"Why do you say that?"
"This gold, silver, copper, and iron are all resources that can only be controlled by the various vassal states and the country. Selling gold, silver, copper, and iron privately will cause you to lose your head. Even our Wanbao Chamber of Commerce has very few designs for gold, silver, copper, and iron.
Very few, especially copper and iron, because the former can be used to cast coins, and the latter can be used to make armor and weapons, which are both very rare things."
Ning Xiaofan frowned slightly after hearing his words.
These things are very rare. In this era, Ning Xiaofan actually knows that gold and silver, needless to say, represent money. As long as there is gold and silver, it represents wealth.
Ximen Qing felt nervous when he saw Ning Xiaofan frowning.
He didn't dare to mess with this man.
He quickly said: "Mr. Ning, I also have a little bit of copper and iron here, but not much. If Mr. Ning needs it, I can give it to Mr. Ning, but if there is too much, I really can't take it out. If
If Mr. Ning needs a lot, he might as well ask the prefect, as the master of this city, he presumably has some rights."
When Ning Xiaofan heard what he said, he immediately felt that it made sense. Cao Xiong was the master of this place. It didn't seem to be difficult to mobilize some copper and iron. Moreover, although these copper and iron were very rare, for those in power,
Speaking of which, wouldn’t it mean that you can have as many as you want?
Ning Xiaofan said: "Okay, in this case, you give me the iron in your hand, and tell me how much it costs, and I will give it to you."
Ximen Qing immediately looked at Ning Xiaofan very seriously.
"Mr. Ning, your words are just a slap in my face. I, Ximen Qing, really want to make friends with Mr. Ning. The main reason is that I really can't afford too much copper and iron. Otherwise, how much does Mr. Ning want? I
Give as much as you want."
Ning Xiaofan knew that what Ximen Qing said was just for show, but since the other party was willing to give him some copper and iron, it was considered friendship.
At this time, Ximen Qing looked at the people around him and said, "We went to the warehouse with Mr. Ning and gave all the stored iron blocks to Mr. Ning."
When people heard Ximen Qing's words, they were immediately surprised.
"Shopkeeper, the value of those iron blocks is..."
"Shut up, if you dare to say another word, I will destroy you."
After hearing Ximen Qing's words, the subordinates immediately did not dare to say anything.
Obviously those iron pieces were indeed very valuable, but now Ximen Qing had made up his mind to give them to Ning Xiaofan.
Ning Xiaofan laughed.
He knew that Ximen Qing and his men were in harmony.
Since they had planned to give the iron pieces to themselves, they naturally had to show that these iron pieces were very valuable.
Although Ling Xiaofan knew their little thoughts, he was quite grateful to Ximen Qing for contributing the iron piece.
Then they went to the warehouse together.
After arriving at the warehouse, Ning Xiaofan found that the quantity of iron blocks was indeed small. At first glance, it only weighed 100 kilograms at most.
However, even though it only weighs 100 kilograms, it is better than nothing.
"Manager Ximen, thank you very much."
As Ning Xiaofan said this, he reached out and touched the iron block, and suddenly the 100 kilogram iron block disappeared out of thin air.
The people present were stunned when they saw this scene. It was obvious that they didn't know what happened. They didn't understand even more what the situation was. How could this piece of iron disappear out of thin air? You must know that Ning
Xiaofan just touched it.
"this……"
Ximen Qing looked at Ning Xiaofan in surprise.
Ying Xiaofan laughed.
"Shopkeeper Ximen, what's this expression? Did it scare you? This is just a little trick. I don't think Shopkeeper Ximen is interested in knowing it, right?"
"Mr. Ning really has extraordinary magical powers. Ximen Qing admires him very much."
Ning Xiaofan said: "Shopkeeper Ximen, I would like to advise you to take your Wanbao Chamber of Commerce and leave the city for safety, or go to other cities. You should know that during the Song-Yuan War, this border city was the most dangerous."
Ximen Qing said: "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Ning, but it doesn't matter. The Wanbao Chamber of Commerce has never been afraid of wars between vassal states."
Ying Xiaofan was immediately surprised when he heard Ximen Qing's words.
Obviously he didn't understand what Ximen Qing meant by what he said. Could it be said that these chambers of commerce are not even afraid of wars between vassal states? Aren't they afraid that after this layer is broken, all life will be ruined and even their Wanbao Chamber of Commerce will be reduced to ashes?
Ximen Qing said: "Maybe Mr. Ning doesn't know something. Although the various vassal states are constantly fighting against each other, even if they destroy the city and kill people indiscriminately, they will never pose any threat to Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, and even go so far as to please Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.
,he
They will also try their best to protect the safety of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce. The reason is that the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce has always been a neutral existence and does not interfere with the growth of any vassal state. The Wanbao Chamber of Commerce only does business, and the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce has many in every vassal state.
Chamber of Commerce
branch, it is precisely because of the growth of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce that the economy of each vassal state will be steadily improved. If the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce appears in a certain vassal state, the price that this vassal state will face is the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.
We will completely withdraw from this vassal state. We must know that Wanbao Chamber of Commerce is the business leader. Once Wanbao Chamber of Commerce withdraws from a certain vassal state, other businessmen will disperse in a hurry. No one will be stationed in a vassal state without security guarantee.
Keep."
Ning Xiaofan finally understood that the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce was really a powerful force that should not be underestimated among these dozen vassal states.
At the same time, Ning Xiaofan really admired him. The person who founded the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce was truly talented and must also be a very powerful person. Otherwise, it would have been absolutely impossible for him to create the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce that spanned 11 vassal states.
Ning Xiaofan said with a smile: "I see, it seems that your Wanbao Chamber of Commerce really cannot be easily offended. Even I will have to be cautious when facing your Wanbao Chamber of Commerce in the future. Otherwise, I may be unable to do so even if I am not careful."
Fucked in this Great Xia Empire."
"Mr. Ning, it's serious. What you said is really serious. Wanbao Chamber of Commerce has always been the most peaceful and will never seek trouble from anyone. At the same time, it is also the most willing to make friends with outstanding talents like Mr. Ning. I believe Mr. Ning
He will definitely do something earth-shattering. I think even the senior leaders of Wanbao Chamber of Commerce will definitely beg Mr. Ning one day."
Ning Xiaofan immediately laughed and said: "Shopkeeper Ximen really likes to joke. How could I, Ning Xiaofan, be wanted by Wanbao Chamber of Commerce? Besides, my status is not high. Just like me now
Aren’t you here to ask shopkeeper Ximen for help?”
"Mr. Ning is trying to hurt me"
Ning Xiaofan chuckled.
"Speaking of asking Shopkeeper Ximen for help, there is really one more thing I want Shopkeeper Ximen to help me with."
"Oh? What's the matter?" Ximen Qing asked quickly.
Ning Xiaofan said: "I need some blacksmiths, and some blacksmiths with extraordinary skills."
Listening to Ning Xiaofan's words, Ximen Qing thought of the iron blocks that Ning Xiaofan needed just now and immediately understood that Ning Xiaofan needed a blacksmith probably just for these iron blocks.
"It is not difficult to find a blacksmith, but in Linyang City, there is probably only one blacksmith with excellent skills."
Ning Xiaofan immediately became interested when he heard it.
"To be praised by Shopkeeper Ximen as having excellent craftsmanship, it seems that this blacksmith must have extraordinary skills. I wonder if he can be of use to me for a while."
"I'm afraid I can't say this. This blacksmith has an extremely weird personality, and because of his good craftsmanship, it can be said that no one in Linyang City will give him face. Even the prefect has eaten this blacksmith.
The door was closed.”
Ning Xiaofan became even more interested after listening to his words. He really wanted to see what kind of person this blacksmith was.
"Haha, it seems that this is a person with a personality. He is interesting. I really want to see what he is like and what his name is."
"Ou Dongbo."
"That's a very strange name."
"It is said that Ou Dongbo was not from here before. I heard that he once lived in the Imperial City of Daxia. For some unknown reasons, he came here."
"It seems that this is a person with a story. People with stories are more interesting."
"Yes, he is indeed a person with stories. It may also prove that he is a person with stories, so he has a weird personality. But having said that, he is indeed a very skilled blacksmith. The weapons he forged, although it cannot be said that
They are genuine, but they are all top quality.”
"It seems that money is hard to impress him."
"Haha, Mr. Ying is right. It's really hard to impress him with money. I don't know how much money he can sell for the high-quality products he creates, but it's a pity."
Ning Xiaofan said: "What a pity? What does this mean?"
"Although Ou Dongbo has outstanding blacksmith skills, this skill is indeed going to be lost."
"Why is this?" Ning Xiaofan felt even more strange after hearing Ximen Qing's words.
"Doesn't he have a son? He should pass on his outstanding blacksmith skills to his descendants. In that case, his family will always be rich."
"Having said that, it's a pity that his son can't stand up at all, so naturally he can't be a blacksmith. After all, being a blacksmith requires a very strong body, otherwise it may be difficult to lift the hammer."
"Wait a minute, you said his son can't stand up, why? Does his son have any congenital disability?"
Ximen Qing said: "No, his son is not congenitally disabled, but as to why he cannot stand up and has been sitting in a wheelchair, this is not known, and what I heard is that the reason why Ou Dongbo came here and stayed away from the imperial city
, because of his son, I think something very important must have happened to Ou Dongbo in the imperial city, otherwise
It’s not like his son will sit in a wheelchair forever. He loves his son, and is his only son, and will sit in a wheelchair forever. This is probably the reason for Ou Dongbo’s eccentric character. Mr. Ning, if you want to go
If you go to Ou Dongbo, you must be very careful in what you say. God won't let him fall out with you."
