Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 284 The Battle of the Salt Merchant III

After more than half a month of cultivation, Mu Jing's injury has healed a lot, and even Huo Yu can walk around normally.

"Zhongheng, your injury is just right, don't worry about it!"

In the bookstore, he closed his eyes on a volume of books, glanced at Huo Yu who was sorting out some papers, and said in a deep voice.

"My lord, my injury is almost healed!"

Huo Yu said with a chuckle: "It's a small matter, just to activate some energy and blood, it's not a big problem!"

"I told you to go back to Nanyang to recuperate. If you don't go, I told you to rest in the backyard and you didn't do it. If you insist on coming to Shuge, well, I agree, and you don't love yourself so much. Do you insist on forcing me to do it?" Ground you?" Mu Jing said sharply.

The root of Huo Yu's injury is that even if he recovers well in the future, he can't overwork himself. Mu Jing set out to ask him for a title and then send him back to Nanyang to recuperate, but he has a stubborn temper and just doesn't want to.

"My son, I have been doing nothing for half my life. It is not easy for me to be appreciated by my son. I can do something by my side to prove that what I have learned all my life is useful. This is Yu's luck. I beg my son not to let Yu go back to Nanyang. I don't want Nanyang to be wiped out for the rest of my life!"

Huo Yu knelt down and said sincerely: "I wish to stay by Shizi's side all the time, and I will not regret it until I die, so I ask Shizi to make it come true!"

A thousand-mile horse often exists, but Bole does not.

How many people are burdened with talents and learning, but they die outside the mountains and wilderness.

Huo Yu is also considered a scholar. He has studied for half his life, but his talents are not good enough, he has no reputation, and he comes from a poor family. Logically, it is difficult to get out of the prison of Zhongyang Mountain in this life, but he met Mu Jing.

Back when Mujing brought them out, let them see the vastness of the world, and led them to meet people with outstanding talents and learning, this was something they never dared to think about in their entire lives. ?
He knows that his talent is not very good, and he doesn't have much wisdom, but with Mujing, he does everything well. Mujing gave him a chance, and he should do his best to live up to Mujing. The kindness of knowing you.

This is where he showed his strengths, and he didn't want to leave.

Even if it happened again, he would still block it with his body, blocking the sure kill of this sword for Mu Jing.

"You!"

Mu Jing let out a long sigh. He couldn't refuse Huo Yu's request. For Huo Yu, he was ashamed. He would satisfy Huo Yu's conditions. He thought for a while and said, "Staying in Luoyang is fine , but you have to guarantee that you will not be busy for more than four hours every day in the future!"

"My son..." What else did Huo Yu want to say? You must know that as Mu Jing's secretary, he has too many things to deal with. Four or six hours a day is not enough. On weekdays, he works at least eight hours a day. hour.

"That's it!"

Mu Jing said: "In the future, you will decide on the big and small things around me, but I will recruit a few more subordinates for you. You should train them carefully. Stupid people do things, but smart people use their words. You have to learn how to employ people!"

With his current status and the things in his hands, it is inevitable to set up a secretariat. A person like Huo Yu is determined, so I am afraid that if he returns to Nanyang, he will be depressed, so he should stay by his side, and it would be easier to know the basics.

"Subordinates obey!"

Huo Yuwei had no choice but to accept the order.

"It's already afternoon, you still have another acupuncture today, first go to Zhang Ning for acupuncture, if she doesn't see you later, she must come to find someone, but she will take it out on me, try not to be busy these days, cultivate yourself The body is the number one priority, as long as you take good care of your body, you can be as busy as you want in the future!" Mu Jing said.

Ever since he was injured, his life was in Zhang Ning's hands, but he didn't dare to be arrogant in front of Zhang Ning.

"Yes!"

Huo Yu put down the Chinese scroll in his hand, and after saluting, he turned and left, and went to the west wing of Jingping Courtyard.

After a while, Xi Zhi came back in a hurry.

He patted the snowflakes on his body before walking into the bookstore, sat down cross-legged, put his hands on the stove to get warm, and complained while getting warm: "You really enjoy it, but I will break my legs if I run away." Already!"

"Ha ha!"

Mu Jing smiled: "Now I can only order you around!"

"Have you heard the report on the situation in Yanshi recently!" Xi Zhicai asked.

"not yet!"

Mu Jing shook his head: "There is no report today!"

"I'm afraid Jingping Trading Company won't have time to talk to you today!"

"what happened?"

"Zhang Heng's game has collapsed!" Xi Zhicai said in a deep voice: "Fang Shao, the owner of the Fang family of salt merchants, is too sensitive, let him follow the vines, and he found Jingping Trading Company. It fell down all at once, and Jingping Trading Company was stunned!"

"Fang Shao?"

Hearing this, Mu Jing narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's rare to have such a keen sense of touch!"

"You can't underestimate these merchants in Luoyang. They can roll around in Luoyang's market. There is absolutely no one who is good at it!" Xi Zhicai said.

"That's troublesome!"

Mujing stood up: "Go to Jingping Firm!"

"Now!"

"A shopping mall is like a battlefield. Since there are uncertainties, we must act as soon as possible, sooner rather than later!" Mu Jing put on a tiger jacket, walked to the door, and put on warm boots.

"Will Your Highness let you go out?"

Xi Zhicai came up and said jokingly.

"Go and come back quickly, it should be fine!" Mu Jing didn't have much confidence and said it reluctantly.

But no matter what, he went out, he and Xi Zhicai, Huo Shao and Huang Zhong personally led more than a hundred elite soldiers to escort them, and went straight to Jingping Commercial Firm.

"I've been bored for almost a month, and I'm almost bored to death!"

On the carriage, Mu Jing lifted the curtains, looked at the snowflakes falling on the street, and exhaled a turbid breath.

"Do you think that if I announce your whereabouts, people will be hooked!" Xi Zhicai said with a smile while sitting in the carriage.

There was no trace of Yanshan Sword Saint Wang Yue, so he was still a little worried. If possible, he would like to solve this problem for Mujing.

"Hehe!" Mu Jing laughed: "I'm afraid that other people won't take the bait. My old man took the bait first. When I find out what your bad idea is, then it's over, and I can't keep your life!"

"That's a problem!"

Xi Zhicai said in a slightly embarrassing way: "It is rumored that Master Taifu has a violent temper, and Nanyang is a violent bear. I think he will not have much patience. I am really afraid of being torn apart by him!"

Taifu Mansion is only half an hour away from Jingping Commercial Firm.

When Mu Jing rushed to Jingping Trading Company, the shopkeepers of Jingping Trading Company in the capital, except for the lame Xu Lin, had basically gathered together, all of them looked sad and depressed.

"The shopkeeper is here?"

Seeing Mu Jing walk in, Zhang Heng quickly stood up and saluted.

"Meet the shopkeeper!"

"The shopkeeper is well!"

All the shopkeepers also stood up and saluted.

"You frowning face, are you in trouble?" Mu Jing sat down with a golden knife, and cast a sideways glance at Zhang Heng.

"Hengbucai, failed to meet the expectations of the shopkeeper. Our Jingping Trading Company has been exposed before entering the state of battle. Now it is being attacked by the two major salt merchants of Fang Jiayan's family. After half a month of hard work, it is almost lost!" Zhang Zhang Heng knelt down and said in shame.

"How can it be smooth sailing in the shopping mall!" Mu Jing was not surprised at all, and said in a calm and domineering voice, and said coldly: "It is impossible to only meet pheasants and hares when you go hunting in the mountains, and there is nothing you can do if you meet tigers. Block the way, then we will fight tigers!"

His domineering words cheered up the shopkeepers of Jingping Trading Company, whose morale had been somewhat low in the hall.

"The shopkeeper is right!"

"Our Jingping Commercial Bank has gathered the strength of Nanyang merchants, I don't believe that we can't deal with a Luoyang salt market!"

"Just fight them to the end!"

"..."

The fighting spirit of the shopkeepers gradually recovered.

Mujing smiled in satisfaction, the mall is like a battlefield, and what the battlefield needs is morale. This morale is not bad. They still have hope in this battle. He pressed his hand to calm everyone down, and only then asked: " What's the current situation?"

"The Fang family attacked several stores of our Jingping Commercial Bank, and then the Yan family realized that now Jingping Commercial Bank's stores based in Luoyang City have been stared at by the two, especially our newly opened one. The five salt shops are isolated!"

Zhang Heng said carefully: "The main reason is that the Fang family acted too quickly and I didn't react enough. This is my fault. Please punish the big shopkeeper!"

"So most of the salt is still in their hands!"

"Ok!"

"How is the He family's affairs going?" Mu Jing tapped his fingers, and his thoughts turned quickly.

"The He family has already agreed, but we only made a verbal agreement. In this situation, I'm afraid that the He family will betray us!"

"Betrayal? Did they make any movement!"

"It's quiet for now!"

"Then it won't necessarily turn against the water!" Mu Jing narrowed his eyes and said, "If we break the game now, it will be the He family!"

"But they are not reliable anymore!" Zhang Heng hesitated.

"If you want to fight in the market, you have to take risks!" Mu Jing said resolutely: "Go to the He family again and tell them that the benefits are [-]-[-]. Jingping Trading Company will charge ahead, and the He family only needs to help!"

"No!" Zhang Heng nodded.

"From now on, all the funds will be focused on the Liu family, and all the salt from the Liu family's shops will be taken. At any cost, within five days, I will close all the Liu family's shops, and there will be no salt to sell!"

"The Liu family in the east of the city?"

"That's right!"

Mu Jing said: "Out of the hundreds of salt merchants in Luoyang, only these four or five can be the masters. It will be very difficult to fight all at once, so let's play singles. I want to see if the hearts of the people are so united!"

"Why the Liu family?" Xi Zhicai suddenly asked next to him. Although he is extremely smart, he has keen senses and wisdom in military affairs and politics, but he has never played in the business world, so he will be somewhat confused fundamental.

"Because the Liu family and the Fang family are allies!" Mu Jing said: "Fang Shao has broken the game, so I will set up a game for him. I want to see if he has the courage to use the Fang family's funds to block the Liu family. knife!"

"It's about attacking the heart again!" Only then did Xi Zhi understand.
