Chapter 298 The Changes of Luliang in Borderlands

Not long after, Ning Yi saw Lu Hongti in the side room. She had a long face and a sallow complexion. She looked like a village girl in her thirties.However, Ning Yi also recognized her from the temperament at the first glance. She is easy-going, but her eyes still have a quiet aura. It was the inner strength that taught him to break the six paths. She is a woman with second-rate skills.

After meeting, Su Tan'er didn't beat around the bush, and asked if the two were old acquaintances, Ning Yi bowed his hands and saluted, and said with a smile: "Master." Su Tan'er was taken aback by this, and after a moment of stunned, he stopped. She was about to kneel when she lifted her skirt, Lu Hongti blinked her eyes, and then supported her: "Don't talk nonsense, I can't accept you as a disciple."

Although Lu Hongti is similar in grade to Ning Yi, Xigua and others, but she has a gentle temperament and seems to be much calmer. She is dressed as a 30-year-old at this time, and no one will suspect her.The three chatted for a while, and Su Tan'er probably knew that although the female hero did not admit that she and Ning Yi were a master-student relationship, she was indeed the one who taught Xianggong's kung fu, so she could treat her as an elder.If the two want to have a deep talk, it is not good for her to be by the side, and leave after serving the tea, leaving the two of them a chance to talk alone.

After his wife left, Ning Yi just asked: "Are you here this time to form an alliance with Fang La or something? Also... Tan'er said you were hunted down?"

Lu Hongti looked at him for a while: "I came here specially to find you."

"Ok?"

Ning Yi was stunned. This reason was indeed beyond his expectations. After all, Lu Liang came all the way here, just to contact one person, so it was not worth her trip like this.Later, I heard Lu Hong mention the reason.

"Well... During this year, according to what you said, the stockade has been operating very well. Things are done as you said before. We contacted the merchants on both sides so that they could borrow from Luliang Mountain. The rest of the materials related to the war can be used. This year there will be a war, but all kinds of goods are in short supply. We will take a cut of the market price and exchange the rewards for salt, iron, and grain, and let familiar merchants bring them in advance. We greeted several villages in the village, they gave us a visit, we contributed our efforts, and distributed some things to them, heh, it took a lot of effort to convince them before..."

The part of what Ning Yi envisioned for him before is actually a purely commercial operation. It is actually simple to say that Lu Hongti’s stockade provides a one-stop Luliang Mountain crossing service. For safety, it is also up to the people here to coordinate with the several forces along the way, and give them a certain share.In the past, the situation in Luliang Mountain was actually quite chaotic. The poor mountains and bad waters made it difficult to navigate the small roads. The traders risked their lives to cross the mountain and were robbed on the road. Hurry up, killing people and stealing all the goods is a common thing.

The problem is that under such circumstances, each village may not be able to get what they want, and few merchants will go this way to sell some food.If you rob a load of cloth and want to exchange it with the outside world for food, you will definitely be slaughtered. In the end, the income is actually quite limited. In addition, people who are forced to go up the mountain feel that they have no future. Living with ease and avoiding work, with the attitude that every day is a day of leisure, everyone is living in embarrassment.

Modern business operation does not directly optimize production, but it first coordinates distribution to benign development.In the past, the grain merchants who dared to enter the mountain must earn a lot of money. Now Lu Hongti only asks the familiar merchants who have thought about it to bring enough salt, iron and grain for tolls according to the market price. The one-stop security service is also It can make merchants more willing to help Lu Hongti.In other villages, they don't have any people or efforts, so of course they can't get the big ones, but even if they get a small one, the harvest is better than before. Most people still think that this place is very kind after all.

In a chaotic system, as long as there is a system and rules, there will be profits.Of course, such things are not unpopular, but one year is just the beginning in this kind of business, and not many people have been alerted.And even if others want to do it, they won't be able to do it for a while. As mentioned earlier, people who have climbed the mountain are not hard-working people, and they have no direction in their efforts in the past.It is actually not an easy task to maintain a smuggling channel, coordinate all parties, and spend great efforts to control the movement in the mountains.For those involved in the work, it is equivalent to working from nine to five and even working overtime. For these bandits who are used to being free and unrestrained on weekdays, who wants to go to work every day.

To be able to really make things work, you have to rely on the various ideological work that Lu Hongti did in the stockade, remembering bitterness and thinking about sweetness, telling stories, and even "rescuing" a family of opera singers, who are fixed in the stockade every seven days Put on a play.What Ning Yi said at the beginning was just to apply such things as shopping mall operations, company culture, and system indicators. It was actually quite difficult for Lu Hongti to do it at the beginning.But the effect of everything combined is obviously beyond her imagination.

Of course, in this, the most important thing is force. If you want to make all the people in the villages along the way unite, you can't afford to be a moth. It is impossible to rely on interests and coordination alone. During this period, there must have been fights. Bloody.But in any case, it sounds like this business has basically taken shape under Lu Hongti's hands.

"... Tian Hu has always reached out to us. In March, he asked the village owners to discuss matters. Seven of the village owners who went there were killed, and most of those villages voted for Tian Hu. It spread, but some people were dissatisfied and came to vote for me. In the past few months, the stockade has grown bigger and bigger. Tian Hu probably has no intention of doing anything against me for the time being. I heard that he thinks that our side is just Those who do business, on the contrary, look down on them a bit. But you also said before that if the village suddenly becomes too big, it will be very troublesome if you can't keep up with your ideological work. Grandpa Liang also said the same, and then let me Go south to Jiangning to find you."

When Lu Hongti said this, she looked at Ning Yi and laughed: "I originally wanted to arrest you and return to Luliang."

It turned out that the organization had developed to a bottleneck, and then I was not sure. Ning Yi understood it, and then laughed: "Forced to Liangshan, this is..."

"I didn't force you to go to Liangshan, but to go to Luliang." At this time, there is no special meaning in forcing you to go to Liangshan. Lu Hongti corrected it solemnly, "But when I went to Jiangning, I heard that Fang La became the emperor below. If you are not in the Su family, I will let you go." I went to the home of your confidante, Nie Yunzhu—you told me to send a letter, I still remember the place, and seeing her condition at that time, I thought you were dead, but I came to ask later and found out that you were trapped There was no news from Hangzhou, so I continued to go south."

Ning Yi thought for a while: "How is she?"

"I'm just worried about you, and that girl Yuan Jiner Yuan, it's quite interesting." Lu Hongti smiled, "I said I would protect you well, and they almost knocked down a tree across the river before they felt relieved. After I arrived in Huzhou, I heard about you again. At that time, I secretly found your wife and stared at her for a while. When I saw her preparing to go south, I pretended to be hunted down on the road and asked her for a favor... With her, it is always easier to find you, and besides, it was originally intended to make you owe some favors."

Ning Yi nodded: "I am grateful."

Lu Hongti just smiled: "Here in Hangzhou, you have been involved so deeply, when will you be able to leave?"

"I can't figure it out, but don't rob me." Ning Yi crossed his hands, "Let me make a detailed five-year plan for you. I probably won't be able to go to Luliang Mountain for the time being. Things are over here in Hangzhou. I I have to go to Beijing, the current situation in the Wu Dynasty is in dire straits, I know the right minister, and I will probably go to help."

"You... want to be an official?" Lu Hongti frowned.

"Be a staff member, maybe help with some logistics."

"...Now that the Jin and Liao are at war, there is no such thing as saying that the Wu Dynasty is in dire straits. The court... really wants to take the opportunity to break the Liao and take over the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun?"

Although he is a bandit, Lu Hongti is actually very concerned about the situation of the Wu Dynasty, but Ning Yi just smiled and shook his head: "It's impossible, the Jin Dynasty will be destroyed, and the Liao Kingdom is an old wolf. , Jin Guo is a tiger. What we are afraid of now is that after the tiger kills the wolf, it finds that there is still a sheep underneath, and continues to kill it. The Wu Dynasty has no strength, and always wants to be an empty-handed white wolf. , I am afraid that in the end the country will perish..."

"En." Lu Hongti understood this and nodded, "Then...the five-year plan you mentioned is..."

"When you are free, tell me about the situation in Luliang, all the details about your surroundings, and then we two will make one or several sets of plans to see what to do in the future. However, the general direction, It's conceivable at the moment." Ning Yi thought about it, laughed, stretched out his hand and gestured casually, "Strengthen his own control over the surrounding area, rely on Luliang Mountain, do smuggling, and develop your side into a smuggling transit station or a free port ...Uh, it is to allow smuggling merchants to live there, to create a market there, to provide protection and order."

"...The iron wares and war horses from the north are allowed to be transported to the south, and the luxury goods from the south are transported to the north. Let's develop our strength a little bit, rob the things from the Liao people, kill the Liao people's traders, and auction the things in Luliang Mountain. Do business with Tian Hu, sell them things from the Wu Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom, and do business with the Wu Dynasty at the same time. If there are any heads of the Liao people, the armor of the army, sell them to the army of the Wu Dynasty. Didn’t you fight the Liao people before? The head is probably wasted, and this must be a lot of money. In the end, it would be the best if we can build a small neutral city, but at present, we can basically think about this direction...”
