Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 369
Chapter 372
Liu Sheng stopped when he heard the sound, and said timidly: "Brother guard, I want to be respectful, but I am afraid that it will smell bad, so I want to run away."

The guard became puzzled and said, "Who is your boss? Why are you so unruly?"

Liu Sheng slowly approached the guard.

The guard slowly drew out his knife and pointed at Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng pretended to be afraid and shivered.

At this moment, there was a strong foul smell from Liu Sheng's lower body.

The guard held a torch and looked forward.

I saw that Liu Sheng was so frightened that he peed.

The guard put the knife back into its sheath, covered his nose with his hands, and backed away.

However, the moment the guard turned around, Liu Sheng jumped up violently, and at some point there was a gleaming dagger in his right hand.

Suddenly, the guard felt a cold light coming towards him, and before he could make a sound, he collapsed unwillingly.

……

Just after dawn, Ran Ming was awakened by Du Cong's rhythmic knock on the door.

Ran Ming quickly put on his clothes and came outside the house. Ran Ming noticed that Du Cong was full of guilt. Ran Ming said with sign language: "Have you shipped everything out?"

Du Cong knelt down on the ground suddenly and said: "Master, please punish the humble."

Ran Ming said: "What's going on?"

"Something went wrong!" Du Cong said: "Last night, during the transportation, a guard died and Zhuang Ding escaped."

"Get up!" The anger Du Cong imagined did not appear on Ran Ming's face. Du Cong looked at Ran Ming anxiously. Although Ran Ming usually looked harmless to humans and animals, as Ran Mingyan's deputy, he But knowing Ran Ming's details, he is a decisive master.

The calmer Ran Ming was, the more panicked Du Cong was.

Ran Ming looked around quietly. The incident of the shadow killer last time made Ran Ming still have lingering fears. Although it was unreal, at least there were many maids and servants in the courtyard secretly looking at this place.Ran Ming didn't know how many shadows there were of these servants.After the assassination incident, Ran Ming was a little suspicious of neighbors stealing an axe, and he was a little bit like a soldier, and everyone looked like a shadow.Sometimes Ran Ming also thought, send these servants out of the mansion and have a quiet life.

But on second thought, after all, these people belonged to Xie's family, so Xie Daoyun's face should be more or less scrupled.

Besides, sending these servants away, I am afraid that Jiankang and even the entire Jin country will not hire them in order not to offend Ran Ming and the Xie family behind him.Two NO.30 people, we can't let them fend for themselves just because they are wearing a suspect hat.Thinking about these things in the backyard, Ran Ming had a headache. The Ran family really needed a legitimate mistress.

Ran Ming signed in sign language: "Go into the study and tell Gu, what's going on?"

When he came to the study, Ran Ming sat on the main seat.

Du Cong said directly: "In order to transport 780 carts of coins yesterday, not only the servants and guards of the major merchants were used, but also the Zhuang Ding of the farm. The subordinates have been keeping a close eye on the merchants, fearing that there will be a dispute between them. There will be mistakes when good and evil are mixed together. Fortunately, they did not have any problems, but Zhuang Ding, the lord, turned out to be a traitor."

Ran Ming said: "Under normal circumstances, Zhuang Ding would not betray his boss. Could it be that someone intentionally confuses the audience and wants to confuse the water?"

Du Cong shook his head, "The name of this missing Zhuang Ding is Chen Liusheng. He is a refugee. One year ago, in the winter of freezing in a temple next to the farm, he was rescued by Lao Yutou. Lao Yutou has five daughters. Son, seeing Chen Liu grow up to be good-looking and hard-working, he recruited a son-in-law."

Ran Mingdao: "In other words, this Chen Liusheng didn't specifically break into Gu's side, maybe it happened just at the right time!"

Ran Ming's farm is under the name of Wang Xizhi. A year ago, no one knew that Ran Ming would come to Jiankang, and it was impossible to calculate that he would have conflicts with Wang Xizhi, let alone that Wang Xizhi would give up and give the farm to Ran Ming.

Du Cong said: "It is possible. However, the matter of the coins has been leaked, what should we do?"

"Actually, there is nothing wrong with the leakage of the coins. In fact, it is difficult to guess Gu's intention based on these coins alone!" Ran Ming said.At this time, a report was received from the porter: "Zhang Xun, Wang Cheng and others pay respects!"

Speaking of which, Zhang Xun patted his chest and assured Xue Tao that as long as he stepped forward, Ran Ming would reuse Xue Tao.

As a result, Ran Ming asked Xue Tao to take charge of the first task, which was to ensure that the copper coins were transported out of Jiankang City without anyone noticing.Zhang Xun brought more than [-] bodyguards, and more than [-] of these bodyguards were Xue's family soldiers, but unexpectedly, there was an accident.

Xue Tao was also a proud person, Zhang Xun complained about Xue Tao when he had an accident, Xue Tao was duty-bound, he was ashamed to death.

Just like that, just after dawn, Zhang Xun, Wang Cheng and others came to Ran's mansion to plead guilty.

The study is Ran Ming's forbidden place, so naturally no one can enter except his confidants.Zhang Xun and others do not have this qualification yet.In the reception room in the front yard, Ran Ming received everyone.

These merchants were originally led by Liu Yuan, followed by Zhang Xun. Liu Yuan did not come to Jiankang personally, and now the Huaxia Business Alliance is naturally headed by Zhang Xun.Everyone saluted Ran Ming respectfully.Zhang Xun said: "Your Highness, what happened last night."

Ran Ming said: "I already know about what happened last night, but it's not related to the overall situation, it's just how are you doing?"

As soon as this matter was mentioned, everyone talked too much.

Zhang Xun got up and cupped his hands and said, "According to His Highness, Xun sent people to mobilize all the well-known and well-known blacksmiths, carpenters, painters, etc. in the state of Jin to more than [-] types of work, more than [-] households, and mobilize them to settle in the state of Wei and settle down. Fees, relocation fees, and the newly built workers’ new village in Wei State have already been prepared.”

Ran Ming's real plan this time is not to engage in an economy that spans the Jin Dynasty, but more importantly, to get rid of the old roots of the Jin Dynasty.What Ran Ming meant was to use huge human, material and financial resources to directly dig all the technical jobs in the Jin Dynasty to the Wei State.In this era, there are no technical schools, and the inheritance of skills mainly depends on the inheritance of father and son or teachers.There are not many people who know how to work, and even fewer people have superb skills.

In a word, Ran Ming wants the Jin Dynasty to return to before liberation, which is no more pathetic than before liberation.

Even the Jin Dynasty official office will serve as a supervisor, and more than [-]% of the people will be poached, and [-]% of the skilled craftsmen will leave the Jin Dynasty to live in the Wei Kingdom.The remaining officials and those who were ignorant and ignorant, relying on the shadow of their ancestors to eat and drink, let them stay in the Jin Dynasty.

Doing this work is actually very costly.After all, in the Jin Dynasty, these people all had certain family fortunes. If they want to move to the Wei State willingly, they must be satisfied with their interests.

Ran Ming is also considered a big hand. If you have land in the Jin Dynasty, you will double the land in the Wei State. You have [-] acres in the Jin Dynasty, and the Wei State will compensate you with [-] acres. In addition to the land, you also have real estate. The state of Wei will give you two rooms, your salary in the Jin Dynasty is [-] yuan, and the state of Wei will give you [-] yuan.Under the great profit, all the craftsmen were moved.

With the land deed, house deed, and gold and silver in their hands, they would be fools if they were not tempted.We must know that no matter merchants or gentry, they all have a bottom line, that is, interests.Enough benefits, not to mention letting them leave their homes, even if they kill their wives and children, they will not show mercy.

The so-called loyalty is actually not enough capital for betrayal.Ran Ming was very willing to spend the money. As long as Ran Ming's plan is completed, all production in the Jin Dynasty will come to a standstill except for grain and tea.

Ran Ming said, "There are more than 20 households with a population of more than [-]. This relocation is not easy. There will be no accidents."

Zhang Xun said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, this time all will be by water. There will be special naval escorts along the way, and food and medicines will be fully prepared. The first batch of [-] households have already quietly moved out, and the second batch of [-] The households have also left, the key is the [-] households in Jiankang, and it is a bit difficult to think about it without anyone noticing."

Ran Ming said: "It doesn't matter. Four of the nine city gates in Jiankang have been bought. On the night of April [-]th, they will open the city gates for an hour. At that time, the chariots and horses must be ready, or else they will open the gates first." Send the women, children, old and young out of the city first, temporarily resettle in the farm, and send them away together when the time comes!"

"Yes!"

Ran Ming said: "By the way, those young men with good water quality, how are you preparing?"

Zhang Xun said: "Seven to eight thousand people agreed to cooperate."

Ran Ming said: "These people are far from enough, keep working hard, we will count on these people if we want to make a fortune in the future!"

"Ask to understand!"

Ran Ming asked Chong Wang again: "How about the procurement of raw materials?"

Wang Cheng respectfully said: "According to Your Highness, Cheng, Brother Luo, Brother Chen and others bought 260 million shi of grain, raw silk and hemp worth 16 gold, and wood worth 13 gold in the Jin Dynasty. As for iron and copper, there is no purchase. All the details have been negotiated, and we just wait for the money to ship.”

In Ran Ming's plan, poaching most of the craftsmen of the Jin Dynasty was only part of it. In addition, there were many shady craftsmen of the noble family, and Ran Ming could not touch these people.Although the production of the Jin Dynasty cannot be brought to a complete standstill, at least their productivity will drop significantly.

In terms of silk fabrics, the state of Wei had already defeated the retail production workshops of the Jin Dynasty, without any competitiveness. The traditional men farming and women weaving could no longer survive in the Jin Dynasty.

Using the old money eliminated by the Wei State to buy the raw materials of the Jin Dynasty, flooding the economic market of the Jin Dynasty with old money, causing currency depreciation, causing inflation, and then poaching the craftsmen of the Jin Dynasty, Ran Ming’s thoughts are not to be called, very Vicious.Then, the Huaxia Business Alliance fully controlled the economy of the Jin Dynasty by relying on sufficient supply, cheap and high-quality goods, and strong currency.

So as to achieve defeat without fighting.

In later generations, at the beginning of the expansion of Ran Ming's Huaqing Group, Ran Ming used this method a lot.

At that time, Ran Ming didn't have so many scruples, such as coercion, intimidation, kidnapping, anyway, Ran Ming had one purpose, to poach the technical backbone of the opponent's company, cut off the opponent's technological advantage, and then manipulate the supply of goods to make the object Neither the source of goods can be bought nor the sales market can be owned, and finally the store is closed.
