The dark clouds of war are gathering, and even the people of Datang feel this depressing atmosphere.
Teams of soldiers came from time to time on the pier. They escorted packages marked with military logos and moved them to the ship docked there.
On official roads everywhere, there were also groups of transport teams escorted by soldiers. The local army, which was rarely seen by the people before, also opened the camp at this time, and occasionally a group of cavalry patrolled along the road.
The yamen in the government offices everywhere started to work on time with water and fire sticks, and took the initiative to come to various markets to help order the location, and even set up shelves for the shoppers themselves, and then asked the walking elderly if they wanted them. made.
Governments have posted notices, demanding that local public security be strictly enforced in the recent period, and gangsters who have nothing to do are not allowed to continue walking in groups on the streets. If something happens, the sentence will be severely punished.
There is a new project in the Baby Candy House, the Good Baby Award. As long as the children who are in school do not run around after school, they can go home and review with peace of mind, or come to the Baby Candy House to open up with other children in the Candy House. Learn in the room and get a reward.
Or a delicious little cake, or a few beautiful candies. If you perform well, you might get a beautiful dress.
Only half a day's work, the people of Datang knew that a war was about to be fought, and it was the war that was personally directed by the war god Juanjuan in their minds.
I have fought wars before. When it’s never been like this time, every war before has a common feature, that is, the horn of war has sounded, and the price of domestic goods has risen. If the war is difficult, it will even increase temporarily. Rent.
In fact, people everywhere have already made such preparations. They only hope that after the war, the prices of commodities can come down again.
The merchants also began to move around, contacting other colleagues one by one, asking whether they should take advantage of the present opportunity to hoard some goods, and then raise the price to make more difference.
The small businessmen gathered together to discuss and discuss. They felt that they should follow the previous rules, but they were not at ease. They decided to find bigger businessmen, especially those on the top rankings of Monopoly. Well.
It is very late in the evening in Suzhou City on the south of the Yangtze River. The lights in the house are bright, and electric lights hang high above the courtyards. The sound of diesel generators roars endlessly, and people go back and forth in the house.
Ge Yunfei, the female proprietor of Splendid Grocery Store, sat in the lobby, and the orders for the distribution of goods were conveyed through her mouth, and the telegraphs of the local telegraph bureau kept ringing.
"Pay attention to the prices in various places. If there are any fluctuations, report them quickly. The shopkeepers of the branches are not allowed to change the prices of the goods sold in the branches at will. They rack up our telegram and are ready to receive the court from the Monopoly Alliance. information."
After Ge Yunfei conveyed a bunch of orders, she closed her eyes and considered for a while, then conveyed a new order, and then picked up a bowl of soup on the table next to her, took two sips, and exhaled.
Today from noon, after the Jiangyin reserve took action, she didn’t have time to rest. She knew very well what the large warehouse community in Jiangyin was for. As long as there were changes, Zhang Xiaobao must have given the order, and the war will The inevitable will begin.
So she didn't have time to eat. She asked the person in charge of buying and selling at home, and after discussing it together, she began to arrange all the things for the beautiful groceries. Now she finally arranged the arrangements, and all that needs to be done is waiting.
See what the Monopoly Alliance says.
The Monopoly Alliance sounds like a pure business organization. Only business people who have entered the top rankings of Monopoly are eligible to join, but once you join, you will find that this alliance is not a pure business alliance, and there are hidden behind it. Court officials.
For example, the simplest way to organize goods to be transported to places outside of Datang, to exchange with the local aboriginals, is replaced by people who have not joined the alliance, just knowing to collect the goods and do it according to other people's requirements.
However, the information obtained by the merchants in the alliance is the general climatic conditions of each place, the reefs in the sea along the way, and the areas where wind and waves may appear.
At the same time, they can also receive a copy of the navigation route of the Datang Marine Patrol Fleet, plus a special telegraph machine, and the corresponding password to communicate with the fleet.
If there is no imperial court behind the alliance, who would believe it? Not to mention the password for the contact, even the telegraph machine cannot be given to you for use.
Especially the most important point, the directors sent by each alliance will send a pistol with sixteen rounds and two magazines for them to wear to protect themselves. At the same time, the directors who ask to go out collect as much as possible. Local intelligence of the place.
Including what kind of animals and plants are there, what is the structure of the local tribe’s organization, and the doctors following the team report the true physical conditions of the team members.
Ge Yunfei knew from it that this was a court action under the name of a merchant, whose purpose was to control all influential merchants in the country.
And I also know that since the emergence of the Monopoly Alliance, none of the merchants in it have been kicked out, even if they have made less money in the recent period, or have lost money due to poor operations.
According to his family property and top ranking status, he should have been expelled from the alliance and replaced by other better people to join in, but in fact they were not expelled at all, instead they were supported by Datang Bank. Even interest-free loans have been released.
This shows that the court does not want the merchants in the Monopoly Alliance to show up because they leave the alliance and tell others about the rules inside, so they have to help them when there is an error in their capital operation.
And the merchants who enter the alliance will basically not experience consecutive losses. As long as they are given a little help, they will be able to cheer up immediately, otherwise, they will not be on the list at the beginning.
But other people can also come in, such as those rising stars whose predecessors have not been kicked out, as long as their assets reach a certain level, they can join the league, and their position on the top rankings of Monopoly depends on their respective positions. Changes in assets.
The only difference is that the previous top ranking list had only one hundred people, but now it has expanded to five hundred people.
Theoretically, the top 200 are eligible to join the league, but the actual number of people in the league has exceeded 300, which shows that some merchants have changed their positions on the leaderboard before, but they have not left the league.
Ge Yunfei was waiting patiently, waiting for the court to issue an order to the alliance, and then there was no need to consider any other issues. How the court arranged, he and others would act accordingly, even if the court asked the alliance’s people to donate all their property, he would also Don't object, don't even hesitate.
"Report, there is a guest from outside the government, saying that it is from Thunder Logistics Group, this is a famous stab." When Ge Yunfei thought about the alliance, a small Si ran into the hall and sent a famous stab.
Ge Yunfei nodded, and took the celebrity stab casually. After opening it for a glance, the person immediately got up from the chair and said: "Come on, open the front door, and welcome me."
"Mayfair, who's here?" An old man's voice came from the side hall.
"Father, you stayed with you, and your daughter went there in person. It was Li Chengfang, the owner of Thunder Logistics, who came. The time is wrong. He should be in Luoyang. When did he arrive in Suzhou?"
Ge Yunfei said to her father. She shook her head and walked outside with doubts in her heart. She was really confused. From the perspective of time, if Li Chengfang had just received the news, or if it was the news received at noon, she shouldn’t. I arrived in Suzhou in a blink of an eye.
Luoyang is some distance away from Suzhou, and the train does not have this speed. Unfortunately, the train tracks were only repaired from the south to the capital. There are very few other horizontal places. It would be good if they were directly repaired to Jiannan Road.
But obviously it’s not working now. It’s heard that no fewer than 300,000 people died when building this railway. It was really an inch of rail and an inch of blood. Fortunately, the people who died were people who got it from outside. It's accidental, just like walking and falling to death.
Soon, the door of Ge Mansion was pushed open with a creaking sound. Li Chengfang, who was standing with a few people waiting outside, showed a smile on his face. He was really afraid that this strong woman would just open a side door. What should he do then?
"No wonder that since noon, the little girl felt that the sky above Datang was enveloped in a tense atmosphere. It turned out that it was Li Dong's house that came in the evening. Welcome, welcome, please inside."
Ge Yunfei smiled when he saw Li Cheng, clasped his fists, arched his hands like a man greeted him, and said.
Li Chengfang also laughed, and returned the same gift, saying: "Does Ge Dongjia mean that I brought war? My Thunder Logistics and your Splendid Sundries are partners in cooperation. All I bring is peace and money, no war. Please!"
The two gave way to Ge Mansion, and the person Li Chengfang brought was naturally responsible for the arrangement.
Back in the hall, Li Chengfang looked around and asked, "I wonder if my uncle is here? I should pay a visit."
"You didn't even get a gift. I saw you just like that. My dad was resting in the side hall. Let's talk about business first. After we finish talking, we will wait for you to make up a gift and see my dad again."
Ge Yunfei didn’t want others to disturb her father at all. His father’s health was not good, especially when the spring started this year, he fell ill and he almost didn’t survive. The medical school sent a team of experts to save their lives, and they are now in the process of continuing their cultivation.
This is one of the benefits or benefits of joining the alliance, otherwise the expert group will definitely not be invited.
Li Cheng expressed regret. He also heard that Ge Yunfei’s father was ill, so he wanted to see the situation, nodded helplessly, and said: “I actually brought the gift. I just sent it directly today. I’m from China. The original county brought ten tons of hot spring water, and someone will bring it over tomorrow morning. You can heat it yourself and let uncle bubble."
"Really? Thank you, let's talk about business now." Ge Yunfei was taken aback and said.
