Chapter 150 Business

What a place to make money and prosper, it has been controlled by many high-ranking officials and nobles for many years, and even the imperial court can't intervene.At the same time, high-ranking officials and nobles took advantage of the power of the imperial court to control commercial channels, forming a seemingly unbreakable huge system spanning both public and private channels.

Such a system, in peacetime, is nothing more than a leech crawling on the court to suck blood.However, this kind of system is naturally weak, and those who are comfortable in this kind of system are actually mostly mediocre.There is really a tyrannical force entering the game. Apart from being dumbfounded, the vast majority of people have no ability to fight desperately.

All they could do was to write to Zhongdu frequently, asking where these ruthless people came from.

However, in the eyes of the high-ranking officials and nobles in Zhongdu, these people in Zhigu Village are not worth mentioning.

Who would take letters from little people seriously?Even if it was true, who would go to the trouble of investigating?The weird situation in Zhongdu City is getting worse day by day, but all the high-ranking officials with some vision are waiting with bated breath, even Hezha Mengan who was originally stationed in Zhigu Village has been transferred back a lot... It works, and at least it can give you courage.

Enough people in the capital city know that if one wrong step in this situation, the lives of the whole family will be implicated.No matter how important money is, is it more important than one's own life?
At this critical moment when something big is not guaranteed to happen, who has the energy to pay attention to the Zhigu Village a hundred miles outside the city of Zhongdu?

So, Li Yun reopened the shop under the watchful eyes of everyone, and started the business again.

This time no one dared to despise him, and no one dared to provoke him again for a while.

The ones who suffered the most were probably Liukou Inspector Li Bite and his subordinates.Their bodies were not buried in the end, but were thrown on the river beach, where wild beasts bit and devoured them.

It was originally thought that some relatives of Li's clan would come to collect the corpse.Unexpectedly, on the second day after the inspector died, his relatives in several private houses in Liukou Town were busy dividing up property. In order to give himself some momentum, someone said that he would lead his clan to Beijing to report Yunyun.

The news spread to Zhigu Village, and the brave man who led a hundred soldiers into Liukou Town and killed Li Bite had to take another trip with him.After returning from this trip, no one in the whole Liukou Town talked too much.

Although many people in the town had had ambiguous relations with Li, those who survived were very sensible.

After that, the brave man was stationed in a private port outside Zhigu Village, and the sailors that Li Yun slowly recruited also gathered there.

This young man is also experienced in handling things, and he has gradually made a small scale in an orderly manner.

At first, no one in Zhigu village knew what he was going to do.Later, he had a woman who kept in the courtyard, and often went out to buy some clothes, jewelry, rouge and gouache.

A well-informed source said that this is the Miss Hua who disappeared in the north of Xin'an Hairu a few days ago.

That lady Hua was recognized, and she didn't hide it.These people from the Jiaofang Division can put down their figures and can flatter them. They come and go, and even hook up with many merchants in the outhouses and concubines of Zhigu Village, and they seem to have become outstanding figures among the female relatives.

According to Mrs. Hua, there was really a powerful person behind Li Yun, and the hundreds of soldiers killed by Li Yun were nothing more than the hair on the legs of that big person.

However, Li Yun kept secret about the situation of this great man, even his beloved pillow.And his purpose of coming to Zhigu Village is to organize a fleet of ships, and to do some business between Zhongdu and Shandong in the future.

Those who know the inside story of Shandong feel that this idea is a bit absurd.They knew that in the past two years, there had been famine and famine on Shandong Road, and thieves and thieves were rampant, so it was not peaceful at all.At least, not a place where novices can do business.

However, occasionally someone reminded Li Yun, Li Yun just smiled and nodded and said he understood, and there was no tendency to change course.Obviously, the master behind Li Yun is really powerful, and maybe he doesn't care if he succeeds, or maybe after the master really puts his power into it, there is absolutely no reason why things won't happen.

All in all, Li Yun is indeed backed by big shots, and there is nothing suspicious about that.

More than two months passed quickly.

All the people in the village were watching the disturbances in Zhongdu City, but there was no movement in Zhongdu City.On the contrary, the news gathered in Zhigu Village from all over the world is getting more and more worrying.

I heard that the Mongolian army captured Hejian Mansion, the Mongolian army captured Daming Mansion, the Mongolian army's outpost appeared in Cangzhou, Dongping Mansion and Jinan Mansion were also attacked.It is said that the soldiers and horses of the imperial court were defeated in Xianzhou, Cangzhou, Xianzhou and Shenzhou.I heard that in these few defeats alone, [-] to [-] troops were lost...

Some people heard the news and didn't care; some lamented that the building was about to collapse, and the Great Jin Kingdom might not be able to get through this difficulty.Some people secretly collected gold and silver, just in case; some people left everything in Zhigu Village and went to Zhongdu to seek refuge with a certain nobleman.

There was a lot of commotion inside and outside Zhigu Village, and because both the east and west roads of Hebei were engulfed in the flames of war, and several rivers in the south were cut off, a large number of defeated soldiers and refugees of men, women, children and children fled northward on foot, and gathered in groups on the riverbank below the village. The number is no less than ten thousand.

In just a few days, no less than [-] or [-] riots occurred in the direction of the river beach.Naturally, some of the refugees were fierce, and they made people capture the Hecang at Wozikou and robbed them of food.

Immediately, the Qingzhou defense envoy dispatched troops to suppress it, and both sides killed a battle.As a result, the Hecang was burned down, and the refugees fled again, some went to Yancheng on the beach east of Qingzhou, and some rushed to the lakes in Xin'an, Bazhou.

The officials and merchants in the Zhigu village were afraid that the refugees would cause trouble, so they combined the force of each family to protect themselves.Some leaders of Cao Ding, Tsunado, and even the leaders of the smuggling fleet with strong connections behind them also took refuge in the stockade.

Day after day, the atmosphere in the village became more and more solemn. Many people hoped that the court would find a solution and sent people out to inquire, but the news they brought back was never good.

Originally, they were only worried about the Mongol attack, but yesterday a messenger rushed back from Zhongdu, saying that there was also trouble in Zhongdu.Several groups of soldiers and horses who did not know where they came from fought each other, killing half of the city with blood, and many officials died, even the imperial palace was affected.

As a result, all the people in Zhigu Village were frightened.Somehow, in just one day, there were all kinds of rumors, and the rumors became more and more unbelievable, but one after another came alive.

Some say that the Mongol army has already entered Zhongdu, some say that the emperor and his officials were captured by the Mongolian Khan, some say that the rebellion in Zhongdu killed all the royal families of the country, and supported a certain Khitan clan as emperor; It is said that it was not the Khitan clan, but Yelu Liuge from Liaodong led the troops into the city.

Inexplicably, these words were spread again and again in the homes of many powerful and powerful merchants.Some female family members were worried about the situation at home, crying and shouting to go to the central capital to visit, while some were more pessimistic, looking for life and death that night.

That night, the Zhigu village was chaotic and many people stayed up all night.Unexpectedly, some people were quite courageous and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to rob, robbed two shops, and killed some employees.

The next day, Dutong Jiagu Alihe sent soldiers along the street to patrol and suppress, but the atmosphere in Zhigu village couldn't stop getting weirder and weirder.

At noon that day, a door suddenly opened in a house, and a young man walked out slowly from the door.

This young man is not tall, but his appearance is very handsome, but his walking posture is a little stiff, with one arm resting on a board, and hanging around his neck with a strip of cloth...it is Li Yun.

Li Yunren was at the door, stood still for a while, adjusted his robe a little, and said kindly to the courtyard: "You worked hard yesterday, you don't need to accompany me now... After half an hour, pack up your clothes and drive the car out."

Then he went down the steps and headed towards the military village.

Because of Li's biting before, all the people in Zhigu village were a little wary of him.But in the next two months, Li Yun did not do things in the Zhigu village in a domineering way, but put on a junior look, and respected some big businessmen and businessmen.

After going back and forth, his popularity is pretty good.

Seeing him passing by now, someone greeted him and casually asked him what he was doing.

Li Yun checked that no one was paying attention on the left and right roads, and lowered his voice: "My Patriarch uploaded the news from Zhongdu. There is a big mess! I have something important to do immediately!"

"What's the matter? What's wrong?" The man hurriedly asked.

Li Yun shook his head again and again: "No way, no way!"

After finishing speaking, he nodded to signal his farewell, and continued to move forward.

The person who was answering with Li Yun rolled his eyes wildly for a while, seeing Li Yun's figure turning around and disappearing, he hurried back to his house.

But Li Yun paced unhurriedly, and in a blink of an eye, he entered another oblique road.

Of course, some people greeted him, and casually mentioned that those rumors last night, I don't know if they are true or not.

Li Yun carefully looked at the left and right roads, and sneered repeatedly: "Hehe, those rumors are of course false, but something really happened in Zhongdu!"

"What happened?" the bystanders asked in surprise.

But Li Yun shook his head like a rattle, he refused to say anything, he just said he still had something to do, so he said goodbye.

Hearing Li Yun's call, the man pondered for a while, and was about to ask more questions, but saw that Li Yun had already gone a long way.

But Li Yun made a bend and went around another horizontal alley.

If it was in a normal city, someone would have noticed that Li Yun's behavior was abnormal.But at this moment, firstly, people were panicking, and secondly, the roads in Zhigu village were really messy, so no one really tried to figure out Li Yun's movements.

Seeing him coming out of the alley in a hurry, a wealthy merchant's carriage passed by.Li Yun looked around and called out, "Old Li, where are you going?"

The businessman surnamed Li only said that he wanted to go to Zhuangzi in the countryside for a while, Li Yun shook his head again and again: "Hehe, haha, Lao Li, Lao Li, something big happened in the city of Zhongdu! You can't hide wherever you hide! "

"What's the matter?" The wealthy businessman hurried out of the car and asked.

But Li Yun went to the distance in a flash.

In the blink of an eye, he made two or three circles between the two high hills, met seven or eight people, and said a few scattered words to each of them.

At this time, how many people are doing nothing?How many people are impetuous?
Those seven or eight people quickly spread Li Yun's words, and within half an hour, everyone in Zhigu Village knew about it:
It's true that Li Yun has the latest news from Zhongdu City!He still has something to do in a hurry... The lady in his yard is packing up the things and driving the car!There must be a ghost!
