Real Cthulhu Running Game

   If he didn't join the sect's activities, Zhang Jingxu actually wanted to hold back a little more.

   "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey, but Brother Zhang, in fact, these three good brothers of mine also have good talents, but due to various reasons, they couldn't leave Heshan County to join the sect for the time being, so.

  ”

   Zhang Jingxu was interrupted by Zhang Ran before he could finish his words, "Little brother, don't forget that our Zhang family only accepts people with the surname Zhang, so are your good brothers also surnamed Zhang?"

Zhang Jingxu didn't intend to lie either, so he shook his head and said, "No, none of them have the surname Zhang, but I just want to let the big brothers see if there is a chance to introduce them to other sects, after all, this Boyang City is also considered a hundred square meters. The largest city in the city, I remember that there are several sects in this city, plus there are more than 20 sects outside the city, right? Now is the time to recruit new students, so if you can, I want to take my brothers to Boyang City together."

   "I didn't expect you to be so loyal, little brother! Okay, we will rent a carriage in Heshan County later. You can ride with your little friends, but Boyang City will come to us."

   Zhang Yu said with a smile: "We came to Heshan County this time to purchase some special materials, so we have to return to Boyang City immediately after we buy them, otherwise these things may be damaged."

As soon as Zhang Yu said this, Yin En immediately said: "You mean azure jade, right? My family runs a tailor shop, so I heard that someone has mined a batch of azure jade, and they are looking for a buyer in the past two days! Because after the azure jade is excavated, if it cannot be processed into azure powder within ten days, it will become a mediocre stone."

"Oh, I didn't expect this little brother to be quite knowledgeable. That's right, we are here to buy sapphire this time, because the Tianzhu businessman Apala we mentioned earlier likes to collect porcelain, and this sapphire processing The sky blue powder made from it is the best material for making sky blue porcelain at present! So this sky blue porcelain is invaluable."

Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, the production process of celadon porcelain is too complicated, and it requires extremely high temperature control, so even if it is Boyang City, or even the most powerful porcelain craftsmen in the entire Yinlong Empire to create celadon porcelain, it is not enough. The success rate is about 10%! So this time, we plan to buy a little more azure jade, as long as we can produce a piece of celadon porcelain, it will not be a loss, and we can give it away as a gift."

When Yin En heard what he said, he immediately nodded and said, "Yes, I also heard that celadon is very rare today! You know that Heshan County usually relies on the settlement for merchants traveling from south to north. I have made a lot of money, but I have never seen a piece of celadon porcelain! So I heard that the celestial jade unearthed this time has been targeted by several big families in Heshan County, but they are now Don't worry too much, after all, if Qingyu can't be released within ten days, it is worthless, so they chose to lower the price very tacitly, and are ready to wait until a few days before they are released."

"Unsurprisingly, we also heard from a friend that you have produced azure jade, but if you think about it carefully, the news should be released by the person who dug up the azure jade. After all, if there is no outsider to buy it, he The azure jade in hand must be at least half of the price.”…

Zhang Ran smiled, looked at Yin En and said, "So, little brother, do you know the person who sells azure jade? Although our Zhang family is not a big sect, it is a strong sect anyway. I I don't think the big families in your Heshan County would argue with us over a little bit of azure jade."

What Zhang Ran didn't expect was that Yin En shook his head very seriously and said, "That's not necessarily true, Brother Zhang, you may not know that several of our families in Heshan County actually dislike each other! After the accident, these families all wanted to take the opportunity to replace them, so there were a lot of nasty things between them, so now they are all at odds with each other! And now it is said that there are two families in Heshan County who are fighting against each other. But in fact, the five families were fighting in secret; so this time they were able to join forces to lower the price, instead of buying azure jade at a high price each, in fact, they were in order to give a set of azure porcelain to the city lord of Far West City together. "

"The city owner of Far West City is Ge Qianqiu, right? I remember that he should have no interest in porcelain, right? And since this is a gift, why don't these families in Heshan County buy all the azure jade separately? Although doing so azure jade The price of it will be a little more expensive, but it won't hurt your bones, as long as you can produce a set of celadon porcelain, it will definitely be able to pay back." Zhang Ran asked inexplicably.

"Yes, things seem to be like this, but the problem is that this set of celadon porcelain is not so much a gift to Ge Qianqiu in Far West City, but rather a gift to Ge Qianqiu's young daughter-in-law; the news I know about this Not many, but I heard that Ge Qianqiu's young daughter-in-law likes all kinds of porcelain very much, and now there is a lack of such a set of celadon porcelain that can be seen, so those families in Heshan County also know that if they send it in their own name, it may be possible. It would be a little inappropriate, so I planned to give it to Ge Qianqiu in the name of Heshan County."

Yin En thought for a while, and then continued: "Brother Zhang, you all know that although our Heshan County has always claimed to be a county, it is actually just a bigger market, so some things have always been No; it's fine in normal times, but hasn't there been some not-so-good gossip from outside?"

   Having said that, Yun En hesitated.

But Zhang Yu understood what Yin En meant, "Are you saying that His Majesty has not been in court for a month? So now it is rumored that His Majesty has fallen into a coma, so many interested people start to move around. , For example, the Ninth Prince in the west was already gathering his men, and even united the Fire Wheel Kingdom and the strange stone tribe.

   And I also heard that other princes are also constantly mobilizing their troops, so our Boyang City sent a thousand people to set up camp on the edge of the Xinjiang River in the first two days. "

   "So you, Heshan County, are planning to give yourself an official identity, right? To avoid embarrassment when you get it, after all, as a market, you really don't have much room for manipulation when you encounter things."

  Zhang Ran sighed and said with a bit of melancholy: "If Your Majesty doesn't show up in the recent period, then something may really happen. …

   After all, His Majesty has been sitting in that position for decades, and his sons have all grown from teenagers to old age, so this time may be their only chance to become emperors! Therefore, it is no wonder that the families of your Heshan County want to go to the Far West City. If they don't do this, it may become history. "

   "If that's the case, then we might be in trouble if we want to buy those azure jade."

Zhang Xin, who had never spoken, finally couldn't help it at this time, "If the families in Heshan County are bound to acquire this batch of azure jade, then we really may not be able to buy what we want. quantity."

   "That can't be helped. After all, we really just want to give gifts, and Heshan County is trying to leave a way out for ourselves."

Zhang Ran sighed and said with a wry smile: "Then let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, we'll go back to Boyang City, but we'll still rent a carriage for you before that, and then you can go directly. The dealership will just report our names."

   Hearing this, Liu Xing suddenly realized that Heshan County is not as good as he thought, because Heshan County is now a large market organized by several families.

   This is not a problem in normal years, because markets like this are not too few in the Xinlong Empire. After all, there must be people who can make money, so it will naturally form a market one by one!

For example, the Stone Town that Liu Xing saw in the introduction of a certain piece of chess is a large market similar to Heshan County. This Stone Town attracted a large number of miners because of the discovery of several mines. As a result, some hawkers were attracted to sell various small commodities, and then a market serving the mining area appeared over time, and finally evolved into today's Stone Town.

   But compared to Stone Town, Heshan County is in a very embarrassing situation, because the importance of Stone Town is self-evident, and the ores produced will be an important strategic resource! Therefore, when the world is in chaos in the near future, Stone Town will definitely be unconditionally turned into a positive right at the first time.

   But Heshan County is different, because this is a high-speed service area after all, so it doesn’t matter if it has any impact! But the most important thing is that this high-speed service area is quite rich, so it is bound to attract the attention of people who care when the situation is chaotic!

Therefore, there are only three roads in front of Heshan County. The first is that if the world is in chaos, then everyone will simply go their separate ways, and Heshan County will become history; the second is led by those families. , to directly transform the market in Heshan County into a fortress, or it can be said to be a pirate.

First of all, Liu Xing thinks that these two roads are not very good, because the former requires the courage of a strong man to break his wrist. After all, Heshan County is located in a good place, so the "Liu Peng" family deliberately came from the next door. A county moved here to practice medicine, and indeed gained more income! So now let the people in Heshan County go their separate ways, there will definitely be some people who will be reluctant. …

   Not long ago, it took a lot of manpower and material resources to build roads and bridges.

   So this is really reluctant.

   But if you don't go, you may lose more.

   So what about the second way?

   One word - bet.

   If you win, you can make a small profit, but if you lose, you will be bankrupt.

Liu Xing has read a lot of historical novels, so he also knows that in some war-torn times in history, there will be many people who build castles and forts in the mountains to protect themselves. The most famous of them should be Dong Zhuo. The Meiwu that was built was said to be called "Little Chang'an" at that time, which shows how impressive the defensive power of this fortress was. Therefore, if Dong Zhuo was not killed by his eldest son, then he would have It is possible to hide in the eyebrow dock.

Therefore, if Heshan County can transform itself into a qualified city or fortress, then it should be able to find a chance of survival in this chaotic world, but it is also not guaranteed to be involved in the battle of swords and soldiers, and the most embarrassing thing is in After the war, if no one was sent to recruit security, the situation would be a bit troublesome.

   Therefore, in Liu Xing's view, Heshan County is best to take the third way, which is the way Heshan County wants to find for itself - from the current market to a real county town.

   As long as it can become a real county town, then Heshan County is stable, at least there is no need to worry about someone coming to the door one day.

   But there is also a big problem in taking this third route now, that is, Heshan Market has existed for so long, and as a result, it has never really moved the mind of becoming a county town. What is the reason? Don't you want someone to take care of you? After all, a market and a county seat are two different concepts.

Therefore, although the Heshan market usually pays the money when it is time to pay, it can make Boyang City and Far West City turn a blind eye, but it is not easy to crawl now, because people with discerning eyes can I can see what you are thinking at Heshan Market.

   "Just relying on such a set of Qingyun porcelain, it is impossible for your Heshan County to become a real county seat. After all, this young son of Ge Qianqiu is not too favored, but it is better than our Boyang City."

Zhang Ran took out some dry food from the package on the side, "Our city lord of Boyang City is already old, so in the past two years, he has been preparing to abdicate to become a sage, but I didn't expect the current situation to change so quickly. So I don’t dare to think about retirement anymore. After all, if we really want to fight, this Boyang City may become a war zone in the first time. After all, the other side of the Xinjiang River not far away belongs to another prince. site; so do you want to come with us? I see that you are in a hurry to leave this time, you don’t seem to be going out with dry food, right?”

   Zhang Jingxu nodded a little embarrassedly and said, "Yeah, if it didn't rain, we would have reached our destination by now, so we don't have to worry about what to eat and drink, but I didn't expect this heavy rain to come like this."

   "Then let's have a drink, anyway, it's not far from Heshan County."
