Chapter 31 Mastering Xuancheng
He couldn't for the time being, so he let the prying eyes go.
Xuancheng.
Today's Xuancheng has a solidified atmosphere that is slowly fermenting.
News from the imperial capital has also reached Xuancheng.
The Galaxy Chamber of Commerce is causing chaos in the imperial capital!
This piece of information was like hot water boiling, igniting public opinion throughout Xuancheng.
Compared to the imperial capital, Xuancheng is just a small town, and regardless of its military or political status, it is as small as an ant.
And the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce, which came from Xuancheng, actually caused a huge repercussions in the imperial capital!
The word went crazy in the market.
However, merchants, citizens, and dignitaries who had a good relationship with the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce did not dare to speak out, for fear that they would get into trouble when the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce was liquidated by the royal family.
The government, which had deliberately kept a distance from the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce before, has now adopted a hostile attitude. In addition to not daring to blatantly arrest him, there are officials patrolling back and forth outside the gate of the Chamber of Commerce all day long.
Those city guards are all around the Chamber of Commerce every few days, as if they are guarding to prevent the people inside from escaping.
But Xuancheng really dares to take action?
I really don’t dare.
The Lord of Xuancheng even felt that the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce should not attack him.
The little power Xuancheng had on the surface was nothing compared to the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce, which was able to make big news in the imperial capital.
If he were not casually pinched to death, he would have burned incense and worshiped Buddha.
"City Lord! City Lord! It's not good!"
On this day, some staff rushed into the city lord's mansion.
The city lord, who had a furoshiki under his head and was ready to escape at any time, jumped up, threw the furoshiki on his back and shouted: "Is the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce rebelling? Let's leave quickly! The ship has been arranged, we can take it The boat goes directly to the depths of the mountains and forests..."
"Uh... no, City Lord, it's Jia Yan who's back!"
The city lord's eyes hardened.
"Come back? It's true... he really killed him back from the capital... What is this... this guy's... attitude? Wasn't the teacher still there a few days ago? Quickly, inform the teacher and let him come to discuss things. ...With the teachings here, safety will be guaranteed..."
"Well, it seems that the teacher learned the news a few days ago and has already left..."
Taking a breath of cold air, the city lord knew that the implication was that Jiao Xi had also escaped.
In Xiaoxuan City, the city lord could only find the strongest instructor who had recently come to take charge, but these strongest masters had all escaped.
One can imagine the tremendous pressure Jia Yan put on the Dynasty masters.
Originally, the city lord had decided to stay in Xuancheng for a while to see how the situation had changed.
Now that he knew that Jiao Xi had also escaped, he thought about it and thought, well, he has already packed it up, so we can just escape.
The previous guarding of the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce and various signs were all done by the city lord.
When Jia Yan returns, God knows whether he will kill his old friend. He is nothing special and is not too friendly to the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce. He will kill the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce and ask the dynasty to find a new city lord, or The Galaxy Chamber of Commerce secretly occupies Xuancheng themselves, which are all methods that can be tried.
"Walk."
The city lord's family members were extremely mobile. In fifteen minutes, they gathered at the back door of the city lord's mansion. The family quietly shouted in front of them, put on ordinary citizen clothes, and fled out of the city.
But when they reached the entrance of the alley and were about to enter the main road, two tiny figures stood in front of the city lord's clan.
"who?"
The private soldiers loyal to the city lord's family stepped forward and drew their standard swords and weapons.
"Lord City Lord, there is no need to leave in such a panic. Leaving without saying goodbye is not the behavior of a person with good moral character."
The one with the most wrinkled skin among the two figures said calmly.
The seemingly small body has an unfathomable aura emanating from it.
This is some kind of warning.
"Are you two... family members of officials, or masters of the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce?"
The city lord calmed down and stepped forward with respect and asked.
He couldn't see clearly the strength of these two people, but judging from their appearance, he could roughly tell that the other party was from the Milky Way.
He lamented in his heart, but he was as calm as possible.
"The city lord is smart and smart. He should have made some guesses when he saw our appearance."
"Alas..." The city lord sighed again.
He no longer talked about him, and did not even communicate too much with the two masters. He turned back and looked deeply at the clansmen, especially the two young children. He hesitated to speak. Finally, the words came to his lips, and then Swallowed it back.
"Let's go back home, we're not leaving."
he said.
A group of people in the City Lord's Mansion, all with pale faces, returned to the City Lord's Mansion obediently. Except for the young children who were not yet sensible, everyone else was heartbroken and thought that a great tragedy would definitely happen in the future.
The two tiny figures looked at the other side of the alley, snorted coldly, and then disappeared.
And where they were looking, there was a master from the government with a complex expression. He shook his head and sighed, and said to the two subordinates behind him: "Let's go. Jia Yan is back. In this Xuancheng, the dynasty can no longer be the master."
They left quickly.
And bring out the information that "the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce has other masters besides Jia Yan".
As a result, more people are wary of Galaxy Shang, an emerging force.
A master alone cannot support a large force, but if there are two masters of the same level, or slightly weaker than a certain level, the situation will be different. The skeleton of the upper-level strength has been successfully built, not to mention that the dynasty is already crumbling. Just mention the three top masters who are under their control. Even in the strongest period of the dynasty, these forces cannot be ignored.
Besides, the current dynasty can no longer care about the gains and losses of this trading town.
The northern land's prestige had already risen due to the main force of the rebels killing the former emperor, and the vast land was under attack.
Although the underground clan did not invade the land again, this time they no longer retreated into the underground due to unfavorable confrontations. They chose to occupy an area of a city and began to mobilize their troops.
The barbarian tribes in the far west frequently sent envoys. They seemed to be quite peaceful, but in fact they were constantly flexing their swords with the dynasty in terms of economy, trade and diplomacy, and the relationship was also somewhat tense.
All of these are more important than the matters in Xuancheng.
Because no matter what, the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce has not announced that it will occupy Xuancheng. Although it may control all aspects of Xuancheng privately, it still submits to the dynasty on the surface.
The dynasty, which had lost several great masters, focused more on dealing with other aspects, rather than the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce, which should not increase pressure for the time being.
Visitors from different worlds make the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce incompatible with the dynasty as a whole. Even if the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce wants to usurp more of the dynasty's interests, it will be difficult to do so. After all, people are naturally more wary of them.
Click.
A tea cup is placed gently on the table.
The city lord was holding his own cup. The aroma of the tea in the cup was refreshing, but he couldn't taste it.
Tea worth thousands of gold is like chewing wax.
"Lord City Lord, can I say that I am also innocent when the situation has reached this point?"
Jia Yan elegantly picked up a paper towel with his front feet and wiped his mouth stained with tea.
"I believe."
The city lord said tiredly.
He just didn't believe Jia Yan in person, what else could he say?
This person's power made the city lord of Xuancheng feel on pins and needles even before he left for the capital. However, after returning from the capital, the city lord discovered that his judgment on Jia Yan was still wrong.
Jia Yan is more than just a guru.
It is an existence that can stir up trouble and rain in the core area of the entire dynasty, as if causing havoc in heaven, and still come back safe and sound.
It is said that even the ‘founder’ of the dynasty took action.
Every time Kaizu made a move, he would shake the world and kill all the enemies.
However, this time, Kaizu also failed. Not only did he fail to kill Jia Yan, he also seemed to have signed some unequal treaties.
In short, facing Jia Yan again, the pressure on the city lord doubled out of thin air.
"Actually, I also know that the Lord of the City doesn't believe it. After all, we are visitors from outside the world. We are outsiders, and we are even less familiar than the overseas guests."
"No way, this is absolutely impossible. I, Xuancheng, are extremely close to everyone in the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce, and treat them like one of our own family members."
Bang.
Jia Yan suddenly slammed the table.
The two thousand kilometers long tabletop jumped hard, and the city lord turned pale in fright.
"My family? Can you please explain to me, the city lord, why you have to send troops to guard your family all day long as if you are facing a formidable enemy, and why you do not allow me, the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce, to operate normally?"
"Well, it's not that there have been a lot of rumors recently. This city lord is worried that unknown people will attack your chamber of commerce. Secondly, my city lord did not ask your chamber of commerce to close down. It was because the guests of your chamber of commerce did not dare to come again, not because I ordered them. Yes."
The city lord is also a guy with a lotus tongue. Every time he opens and closes his mouth, it is a legitimate reason that seems to be quite reasonable.
Without such eloquence, one cannot become a city lord.
"That's all, the city lord's clever words and expressions are indeed extraordinary." Jia Yan said with waning interest.
He said: "Now that the matter has come to this, I just want to ask the Lord of the City to issue a few orders. First, to explain to the citizens that our Galaxy Chamber of Commerce has been investigated and proved to be a good organization that abides by laws and regulations. Second, the Lord of the City Your Excellency personally presented an official document from the government, announcing that our Galaxy Chamber of Commerce is allowed to expand trade routes and have escorts belonging to the Chamber of Commerce. After all, more and more anti-thief armies have sprung up recently, and merchants of the Chamber of Commerce always need a certain amount of their own strength. In addition, there are As for a few less important details, I will let my staff continue to discuss them with you. Can you agree to these requests?"
"Promise, of course I agree, haha..."
The city lord wants to cry but has no tears left. How dare he refuse to agree?
If he agrees, he is destined to be secretly called a traitor by everyone in the dynasty.
But if I don't agree, my whole family may die inexplicably tonight in a "fire" or in a sneak attack by the rebel army.
Whichever is more important, he still takes it lightly.
The name of the people in Xuancheng is no longer ‘Dynasty’, but ‘Galaxy Chamber of Commerce’.
The second day.
The City Lord's Mansion, which was not held accountable by the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce, quickly issued several bulletins.
The content is pretty much the same, just the requirements Jia Yan mentioned.
There are also provisions regarding the entire Xuancheng business environment improvement system. This is something for laymen to watch, and most people cannot understand it.
But judging from the few clauses that they could understand, even the semi-literate residents who didn't know a few words of dou understood that the sky in Xuancheng had changed overnight.
The city lord has become the puppet of the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce.
As for the government, I am afraid they no longer have any actual rights over Xuancheng.
In name only, the people are still the subjects of the dynasty, and there are also people from the "official government" who are in charge of the order of Xuancheng.
Privately, it has become the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce in charge of everything.
Businessmen are profit-seeking.
They are even willing to sell their souls for huge profits.
Not to mention Xuancheng, even the rebels dared to go there to do business openly.
Therefore, after Xuancheng Galaxy Chamber of Commerce officially resumed business and apparently negotiated peace with the imperial court, several groups of merchants rushed over immediately.
"Haha, Master Jia Yan, I knew it was auspicious for you to go to the capital. People have their own destiny."
"Heroes see the same thing. I also think that Chairman Jia Yan, a noble man, has God's help. As expected."
Several businessmen and Jia Yan were chatting at home in the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce living room.
When Jia Yan negotiated with them, he never showed the slightest magnanimity of a top expert, nor did he use his strength to oppress them.
Because these are the largest trading partners of the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce in the past ten years.
"Thank you for the awards. Now is the time for our chamber of commerce to explain clearly to the imperial court. Our chamber of commerce wants to expand its business. I wonder if you have the courage to do business with our chamber of commerce again?"
"Oh? This is a dream come true, but I don't know to what extent Master Jia Yan's so-called business expansion is expanded?"
"Naturally, it will be expanded to the limit. The initial goal set by me is ten times the previous one... Of course, if we can achieve more, the more, the merrier..."
"ten times……"
There was a sound of gasping for air.
Moreover, several businessmen with close relationships looked at each other with evasive eyes.
They have long wanted the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce to expand its operations, but the 'output' of the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce is really too low.
The Galaxy Chamber of Commerce’s explanation has always been that ‘the channel cannot bring so many goods’.
As a result, not only the expensive items of the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce were extremely expensive, but the price doubled several times or even dozens of times outside Xuancheng. Moreover, because the scale of the entire mall was too small, the upper echelons of the dynasty gradually became stuck in the past ten years. For all transactions, go to Shuyuan www. zhaｏshuyuan.comｍThe products of the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce that they sell often end up in the pockets of the nobles and upper-class people of the dynasty.
Moreover, these upper-class people deliberately kept the prices stuck. In the end, they, the merchants, made some money, but they made less and less. From the hugely profitable industry at the beginning, they can only make twice as much money today.
Of course this is a lot.
"If you want to increase the transaction volume ten times, your chamber of commerce must provide a considerable number of products...otherwise..."
Someone deliberately said this to test.
Jia Yan said enigmatically: "This chamber of commerce has found a new method. It should be possible to achieve ten times the product, and there may be more improvements, so you don't have to worry about this!"
All the partners were immediately overjoyed, and some were even so excited that they stood up involuntarily.
You know, ten times the product means ten times the value.
Even if everything is still blocked by the upper echelons of the dynasty, they can still make ten times more money if the unit price remains unchanged.
