Chapter 424 The ideal of a businessman
Yaohui didn't know who was the stinger, who was the tyrant, and had never heard of the two famous names Ma Yu and Ma Hua Teng. He only knew Yude and his family members' special talents in business operations, as well as His Highness the Regent's strategic plan for the entire Lion Clan.
"Replace firewood with peat and let all the lions use cheap peat."
This is the original words of His Highness the Regent and the core of the entire plan.
If it weren't for destroying the Pig Clan and opening up the channel between the Panshi City and the Lion Clan, the large-scale transportation of peat could only exist in the mind.
When Yude took the initiative to come to the door to ask for the peat to be sold on behalf of others, Yaohui was actually very happy. This coincided with the task assigned by His Highness. He generously gave Yude a discount price, and everyone was really happy.
In the words of His Highness the Regent: "A part of the interests can be given up and they will be ours."
By the way, in addition to the manager of the "Shengxinglong" business in Boom City, Yaohui has two other identities: the webmaster of the Boom City Intelligence Station and the third-level deputy chief clerk of the Dragon Clan United Front Work Department.
"The so-called united front is to make our people more and make our enemies less." This is also the original words of His Highness the Regent. Yaohui never knew that this actually originated from the civilization era, and the real speaker was actually Taizu.
For a long time, whether it is Zumu, who is responsible for the tiger clan or Yaohui, who is responsible for the lion clan, his purpose is to create chaos within the target clan, cooperate with the dragon clan army to fight, and win victory from many aspects.
Yude is a big fish, not to mention that there is a huge family behind him.
There was a terrible statistics in the civilization era that were about thirty people, who controlled fifty percent of the wealth on the earth.
If this concept is converted to the present, and using "the wealth of all the northern barbarians" as a comparison, Yude can undoubtedly enter the ranks of "thirty controllers".
Yaohui wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and smiled and handed over the empty bowl: "This soup tastes really good, give me some more."
Looking at Yude, who was unhappy, handing the empty bowl to the woman kneeling beside him, Yaohui said calmly: "The situation is not as bad as you think. Before entering the city this morning, I had sent a messenger. If everything goes well, the side of Panshi City will react soon."
He didn't speak loudly, but the merchants gathered by the fire could hear it clearly. The dull atmosphere in the room was immediately broken, and people began to talk to each other and whisper. The numbness and fear in their eyes were dispelled, and the long-term stagnation of thinking became active.
Regardless of his wealth or qualifications, Yude is a recognized leader of the lion businessman. He was slightly stunned, a light flashed in his eyes, and his body moved closer to Yaohui. His tone became excited: "Are you sure?"
Yaohui didn't say anything, but just smiled and nodded with a positive look.
He did send messengers before entering the city. It was not the rider that Yude and the merchants thought, but two long-trained bald-headed eagles.
Because to free up hands to deal with the Tiger Clan and the Eagle Clan first, Tianhao must draw most of the troops to take into account the east and west. The strategic plan of "weak first and strong" has been implemented since last year. The reason why the Lion Clan is put last is because of its large population and stable grain output. In contrast, as long as the advantage of the inland fleet is ensured on the Pantuo River, the Tiger Clan will be difficult and even unable to counterattack. For a long time in the future, they will have to be forced to take a defensive position.
According to Tianhao's original idea, at least four legions were composed of the main attacking spearhead. The inland fleets in Bucks City and Bailu City were responsible for providing firepower and logistics support. In addition, two-thirds of the Shanghai Marine Corps troops went down the Pantuo River and captured Hulao Pass, Gangwei City, Iron Jaw City, and Huangshi City in sequence... If the progress goes smoothly, the Blood Claw City can be captured in five to six months and the Tiger Clan will be destroyed.
The emergence of Wulin prompted Tianhao to modify his strategic plan. Nothing is more worthy of anticipation than a national teacher who completely gave up on the original ruler. Although he did not undergo spore transplant surgery and could not be considered a true "person" in the sense of the true sense, Tianhao was very confident in Wulin. He had witnessed the strong changes in the contrast between Bucks City before and after, and saw the prosperity and happiness of civilians under the rule of the Regent. In addition, Tiger King Yaoxian's hesitation on certain issues can even be said to be stupid. Wulin has taken the initiative to join Tianhao's unified camp on the northern continent and played a special role that belongs to him.
Lifeng City is the best example. Even Tianhao himself did not expect that in less than a month, more than one million tiger civilians would flee north. This means that the tiger tribe will never recover in at least the next ten years. They can only rely on the so-called "Reconstruction of the Northern Defense Line Plan" to survive, let alone reunite the army and take the initiative to counterattack.
Annexation of a group is not just about killing the clan leader. It takes time to digest the population, and it also requires arrangements for them to arrange a safe and livable area. The "Northern Development" strategy has been implemented, thanks to the crazy road construction between cities and villages in various places, millions of tiger refugees were taken to the north in a short period of time. This is a good thing for the dragon clan. After all, even if the Blood Claw City is captured according to the original plan, Tianhao will take at least half a year to rectify the entire tiger clan. Whether it is to identify the nobles and officials, or to appease the lower-level civilians, it is very troublesome, and it must be stationed in the territory of the tiger clan, and the troops cannot be less than two legions. When all the transformation work is completed, the annexed tiger clan truly becomes the dragon clan, and begins to provide personnel, material and other assistance to the tribe, and then launches a war against the eagle clan, it will be at least a year later.
War is the best source of chaos. The Intelligence Department sent a large number of personnel to infiltrate the tiger tribe, and the Wulin, the combination of the two is no less effective than that of the two legions, or even more.
Only then did Tianhao be able to mobilize his troops, turn his attention from the west to the east, and first deal with the Eagle clan.
After all, the tiger clan has been abolished. It is in line with the interests of the dragon clan that is left with a stubborn and suspicious tiger king.
Panshi City was defined as a "fortress" since its initial construction. Tianhao placed the first and fifth legions south of the city and continuously built various fortifications towards the Lion Territory, that is, part of the original Pig Territory. Based on this, new settlements have been continuously formed in the past few years.
Now, the First Legion is stationed in Gangchi City, with a total force of 60,000.
The Fifth Legion was stationed in Kuangya City with a total force of 50,000.
The two abandoned cities that originally belonged to the Pig tribe have been rebuilt and have moved more than 20,000 people one after another. The two cities echo each other, and the lion tribe from the southern Fangya City is always on guard.
Before the end of the war against the Eagle clan, it was almost impossible for Tianhao to mobilize troops from other directions to support Steel-Tooth City and Kuangya City. With the current strength of the Dragon clan, it is difficult to establish a new legion. After all, the current military model is different from the past. It is no longer a set of armor, and a sword can arm soldiers. Both gunpowder and guns need to be supplied from logistics, which also takes into account the comprehensive production capacity of military factories in various places and Jeju Island.
At this time, Pingjun's intelligence department became more and more important.
The "Lion Clan tokens do not contain silver" has been spreading privately. The reason why it failed to immediately trigger a chain reaction and cause chaos within the lion clan after Tianhao used the "water detection method", was largely due to the collective silence of the lion merchants, including Yude.
In addition to the Lion King, they are the largest profit group in commercial activities. Even if the token does not contain silver, as long as the Lion King and the senior leaders of the entire tribe are endorsed, this thing can be circulated on the market, and civilians and nobles recognize it, and merchants recognize its value.
Even if the token is a piece of shit.
In fact, for a long time, merchants such as Yude and others also had a tough attitude towards the Dragon Regent. He asked all merchants to buy peat from Panshi City to use gold or equivalent silver as payment methods, and refused to recognize the tokens issued by the Lion King.
In the past few years, in order to maintain the profitable business of peat, the lion merchants have paid a lot of gold and silver. They purchased precious metals from various channels, even bribed royal members to exchange gold and silver at relatively high prices. However, this kind of thing is difficult to operate. It was only carried out a few times, and the amount of gold and silver exchange was not large, and then the following was gone.
Looking at Yaohui with a calm expression, Yude's nervous mood calmed down slightly. At this time, the woman just brought the broth with her. He looked at Yaohui and took the bowl of soup while thanking her, with a smile on his face.
He is a member of the Dragon tribe, and he has reason to be happy.
But what about me... I used to be a member of the Lion tribe, and I was a wealthy businessman who was high and looked up to by many civilians. But now, I am just a stray dog who fled in a hurry.
Yude really didn't understand what the Lion King was thinking in his mind. Even if the Liuyun City official business caused chaos and caused civilians and merchants to have questions about the credit of tokens, they could still be alleviated by gold, silver and material redemption. Doesn't Your Majesty know that the source of the currency system is the word "credit"? Simply solving it with a tough and suppressed solution will only make things worse and bring the entire Lion society back to its original trading state.
It would be fine if the Lion King was just arbitrary, and Yude could join forces with other merchants to help solve the crisis. He had strong confidence in this. Whether it was eloquence or financial resources, merchants had become an important part of the entire ethnic group. Of course, this did not mean that Yude had a strong sense of ethnic identity, but that he was entirely out of consideration for family property. Once the token system collapsed, it would mean that the wealth accumulated over the years collapsed and turned into a pile of scrap iron that no one wanted.
During that time, Yude wrote letters to see the Lion King. He joined forces with the great merchants in Roaring City and worked tirelessly between the nobles and the royal family. But in the end, he could not even touch the steps of the palace.
The gift was accepted, but for the request to meet the Lion King, he only ran over and was full of sarcastic words: "Just because you are a mere businessman and a civilian who doesn't even have a surname, your Majesty will not waste your time on you."
The surname is the eternal pain in Yude's heart.
According to the laws of the Lion Clan, only by obtaining military merits on the battlefield, or operating a village, making the population more than 10,000 and reaching the scale of "city", can you obtain a surname and become a noble.
Yude and his ancestors worked hard in this regard. They were willing to spend money to buy a village, but due to the improper timing, it attracted speculation from all parties. Especially Yude's father, who had bought a large population and wanted to buy land outside the city to build a new village, but was determined by the royal supervision agency that had been staring at him as "intention to rebel". If Yude and his tribe had not spent a lot of money to bribe the whole country and manage everything, his father would have died in prison long ago, and the family might have been implicated, and there was no question of what is going on now.
When Yaohui found Yude, the latter was already disheartened by the circle of powerful people in the lion clan. A simple sentence made Yude decide to give up everything he has and choose to join the dragon clan camp.
"His Royal Highness the Regent promised to give you and your family a surname."
The next thing was natural. Yude and the merchants who were in a group quickly reached a consensus. On the one hand, they secretly transferred their property, and on the other hand, they instigated civilians to create a run in the cities in various places. All the merchants closed their doors collectively and refused to open their business, resulting in the inability to circulate on the market. At the same time, they cancelled various orders placed by local civilians before using the reason that "tokens are scrap iron".
It is so satisfying to create chaos. Yude suddenly realized that he was actually very talented to become a conspirator. The powerful lion clan fell into turmoil in such a short time, forcing the lion king to furiously and ordered the suppression of force in various places... All of this demonstrated his wisdom, and of course the foresight from the regent of the dragon clan.
This is the magic of money.
His Majesty the Lion King once touched its edge, but he casually threw this powerful weapon into the garbage dump.
The goal has been achieved, and it will be too late to leave. Under Yaohui's arrangement, Yude and the merchants left the Roaring City and took the entire family and the remaining wealth to the north.
Fang City is the last hurdle. I just don’t know if I can leave here safely and rush toward a new life?
Looking at Yaohui who was enjoying the bowl of soup, Yude couldn't help it: "When is it? Are you still so leisurely? Don't forget that Shi Lie is His Majesty's relative, and this place is not far from Shattered Jin City. We have escaped for so many days, His Majesty must have noticed that once the pursuers behind catch up, or Shi Lie gets news from Shattered Jin City... we can only stay here and wait for death."
Yaohui maintained a fixed posture and said seriously: "Don't worry! Your Highness Regent will not sit idly by. You, and everyone here, are the people you call for. I will ensure your safety no matter what. If Shi Lie wants your head, he must first step over my body."
