Chapter 2 Butterfly Effect(2/2)
Because no matter how strong Yuan Hao is, he can kill one king. He can kill two kings, but it is impossible to keep killing like this. Such internal friction is the most harmful to the national power. Even if Yuan Hao can always win, Xirong will still be defeated.
Being swallowed up by the other four countries, he will also be a slave to the subjugation of the country, and he will also have no luck and dragon energy blessing.
Of course, there is another way to survive from death, that is, Yuan Hao deposes the current monarch and ascends the throne himself. Not to mention this way, to be honest, Wang Meng's chance of succeeding may be greater than him.
After all, Dongxia is still a country where government decrees can be passed, while Xirong is composed of several big people and forces, all of which are big families with a long history and have been passed down for thousands of years.
Just like the people on the grassland will only respect the descendants of Genghis Khan with "golden blood", no matter how high Yuan Hao's prestige is, in the eyes of these leaders and big families, they will never support him as king.
.
"It seems that Xirong will be in chaos." Lin Fengjin couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth, and then continued to walk towards the Gewuyuan.
Lin Fengjin was already familiar with Gewuyuan. Several of the young men who came to welcome the guests also knew that they were big benefactors and buyers, so they hurriedly invited Lin Fengjin to sit inside.
It's said that the service was extremely attentive, but I'm afraid there was a little bit of slack.
Soon after sitting down, Lin Fengjin specified that he wanted to see Snow Dog. However, every time he came to see Snow Dog, he would either bargain or pick someone else's price. Nothing good would come of it, so Gewuyuan
The disciple who came out to receive Lin Fengjin seemed to have received the instructions a long time ago, and said with a sad face:
"My master said he is not here, oh!! No, no, no, I am talking nonsense, it is my master who is not here."
Lin Fengjin said very coolly this time:
"It doesn't matter if you're not here, I just came to say hello."
The disciple was suddenly stunned and said:
"Uh, please tell me, Senior Brother Lin."
Lin Fengjin smiled and said:
"The last order of 430,000 taels of silver placed by Wu Zuocheng, Gewuyuan should have almost finished it, right?"
After hearing this, the disciple immediately said with a grimace:
"No, Senior Brother Lin Mingjian, the current labor costs and material costs have increased a lot. We have already lost more than 30,000 silver. The court judge is about to write a letter, saying that at least 30,000 silver must be allocated first.
Come here with 10,000 taels of silver, otherwise, after this batch of goods is finished and sent over, the Ziwu Army at the border will have to work overtime to catch up on the work. Please be considerate, Senior Brother Lin."
After Lin Fengjin heard this, he immediately smiled and said:
"The materials for the armor and Shenwu crossbow on the previous batch of orders were nothing more than beef tendon, pig iron, and jujube wood. But why did I hear that the prices of these three items have dropped sharply? Did Junior Brother Guo get it wrong? I
After some calculations, you can almost make eight times the profit, so where does this loss of more than 30,000 silver come from?"
Junior Brother Guo's cultivation level was mediocre, but he seemed to be really good at bargaining. He immediately said aggrievedly:
"Senior Brother Lin, if the beef tendon, pig iron, and jujube wood are placed there, without artificial labor, they will definitely not be turned into various powerful combat tools, right? The eight times profit you mentioned does not include us.
It’s artificial!”
Lin Fengjin sighed and said:
"I sent 430,000 taels of silver last time, and the cost was only about 50,000 taels. You only hired 18 people to do the work, and the labor was worth 380,000 taels? This is a deficit of more than 30,000 taels.
Where did it come from?"
Junior Brother Guo seemed to have been prepared for Lin Fengjin's question for a long time, and said with a grimace:
"Senior Brother Lin will tell you the truth. Recently, you know that the East China Sea pirates are very arrogant. We have also received a lot of orders from the military. If these eighteen masters spend the time here to provide services to the military,
If you process ordnance, you can earn at least 410,000 taels of silver!"
What Junior Brother Guo said seemed to make sense and could render people speechless. However, when he met Lin Fengjin, who was more eloquent than him and also more shameless, he made Lin Fengjin laugh.
He said without a smile:
"Well, I talked with Junior Brother Guo over a cup of tea here, but I didn't make a penny. But if I use this time to go to the gambling house and play a few games, I can make more than 30,000 taels of silver at least. Junior Brother Guo
, you owe me more than 30,000 taels of silver, let’s go like this, our brothers and sisters will wipe out the change after just one fight, so you only owe me 30,000 taels of silver. I’ll come and get the money tomorrow.”
Junior Brother Guo was stunned. He realized that he was quite shameless, but today he met someone even more shameless! He said in astonishment:
"Senior Brother Lin, this, this, how can you say this?"
Lin Fengjin was also stunned and said:
"Isn't this just what you said? Since all your eighteen master craftsmen can create a deficit of thirty thousand taels, then why can't you owe me thirty thousand taels of silver."
Junior Brother Guo smiled bitterly and said:
"Senior Brother Lin, don't be ridiculous. I really have no choice. If I could make the decision, I wouldn't ask for a penny from Senior Brother Lin."
Lin Fengjin laughed, patted his butt and stood up and said:
"Okay, I won't embarrass you."
After saying that, he took out a few banknotes from his arms and slapped them on the table:
"No, please make it clear. Here is forty thousand taels."
Junior Brother Guo's face suddenly turned as pale as a bitter gourd, and he said with a sad face:
"Senior Brother Lin, this money is really not enough."
Lin Fengjin suddenly frowned and said:
"Didn't you say you were short of more than 30,000 taels of silver? The 40,000 taels of silver I have here are not enough?"
Junior Brother Guo said:
"But, at any rate, Senior Brother Lin has to pay off the cost of the materials we continue to buy."
Lin Fengjin wondered:
"What's the cost? Didn't we settle the account this time?"
Junior Brother Guo said in astonishment:
"Isn't there an order for fifty Shenwu crossbows next?"
After Lin Fengjin heard this, he waved his hand and said sincerely:
"I am the most concerned about the country and the people, and I am also good at caring about other people's difficulties. I just heard from you that your eighteen master craftsmen actually gave up their wages of 410,000 taels to come to pick up our 380,000 taels.
I immediately felt extremely ashamed and ashamed! You can’t block other people’s money by blocking anything! What’s more, if you don’t have a country, how can you have a family!? The frontier troops should still be the main ones, so I think that anyway, you even have a family.
The raw materials have not been purchased yet, so the order for these fifty Shenwu crossbows should be cancelled." (To be continued...) r1292
