Chapter 1460: Moat
He He Lingchuan himself is in charge of the Black Armored Army, but Qiu Hu and others have never stopped polishing the Yangshan Army.
The Yangshan troops who came from the archipelago stepped onto Julu Port and transformed into the guards of the Changlong Martial Firm, ready to travel north and south, killing thieves and resisting bandits in this treacherous land. On the Flash Gold Plain, not only were thieves and bandits rampant, but defeated armies and roving bandits often caused chaos, and local warlords carved up territory. The Changlong Martial Firm had a very difficult time in the beginning clearing and maintaining trade routes, which took up a great deal of He He Lingchuan's energy.
Fortunately, old friends came from the Yangshan Islands, and He He Lingchuan had been waiting for him for a long time. This person was assigned to be the second manager of the Changlong Martial Arts Firm as soon as he arrived, and used the strategies of differentiation, winning over, suppression, and alienation against outsiders. Sure enough, the progress of the Changlong Martial Arts Firm was greatly accelerated.
However, even with their planning, the Changlong Martial Arts Firm paid a great price to maintain the trade routes.
This is also a kind of tempering, and Qiu Hu also implemented a rotation system for the Yangshan Army in batches. Since the branches of the Changlong Martial Arts Firm are blooming everywhere in the central and western parts of the plain, the outside world has no idea how many people are hidden in the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce and the martial arts firm.
Only He He Lingchuan and a few others know the specific number:
Eight thousand eight hundred people, and it is about to break through nine thousand.
This number has exceeded the total number of guards on the Yangshan Islands.
This is because, in addition to Yangshan people, the Changlong Martial Arts Firm has also selected and absorbed a large number of local young and strong people. Now the scale of Flash Gold people accounts for about forty percent of the Yangshan Army, and it is still expanding rapidly.
This is something He He Lingchuan couldn't do on the Yangshan Islands:
Expanding reserve sources of soldiers.
The prosperity of the Changlong Martial Arts Firm actually follows the expansion of the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce.
While He He Lingchuan was traveling on the Flash Gold Plain, the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce was blooming everywhere, transporting a large number of rare minerals, raw materials, local specialties, and luxury goods from here to the outside world.
It is said that the bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish. Fragrant Music Powder sold to the Mu Nation, the price has to quadruple, reaching one tael of silver per jin. The transportation cost of the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce is lower than anyone else, and there are even preferential policies for tax exemption along the way, and the profit margin is amazing.
How much money can farming make? How much money can small business make? In the short few months since He He Lingchuan came to the Flash Gold Plain, the commercial profit has been more than three times that of the agriculture + logistics + port services of the Yangshan Islands in the past two and a half years.
This does not include the treasures he got from the Ghost King's Cave.
The barbaric land that others talk about with fear is a gold-digging cave for him.
However, it is extremely difficult for others to imitate him. Even if they can build an armed force like the Changlong Martial Arts Firm, are the numerous countries and forces along the trade route willing to give face?
If the local snakes don't agree, commercial activities will inevitably be difficult.
How much effort did the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce spend to smooth out the relationships along the way? This is based on the foundation that He He Lingchuan maintains stable relationships with top forces such as the Peng Nation and the Allied Forces.
Let someone else try? The other party can knock the bone and suck the marrow to death!
Military force and connections, these are the two major moats for Yangshan to flourish on the Flash Gold Plain, which others want to imitate but cannot.
But the Yao Nation is relatively unfamiliar with it.
Just as Gu Lin said, due to the existence of natural barriers, Yao people haven't heard much about the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce, but the central and western parts of the Flash Gold Plain have already heard of it. For those who do freight business like Tonglin Ji, how can they not know about the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce?
Gu Lin's change in attitude was an unexpected joy for He He Lingchuan. For his next plan, he didn't need to prove his strength to Gu Lin anymore.
Gu Lin also enthusiastically said: "Three thousand jin of Fragrant Music Powder, it can be shipped within two days. Since I have formed a bond with Island Master He, you don't need to pay for the freight."
"How can I be embarrassed?" He He Lingchuan naturally had no embarrassment on his face, "I admire President Tu's life. If Tonglin Ji is still sharp, we will have plenty of opportunities for cooperation later."
He paused: "I happened to buy a large piece of land in the suburbs of Tianshui City, and I am going to break ground recently."
"No problem!" Gu Lin agreed immediately.
What kind of place is Tianshui City, prosperous for over a hundred years, known as an inch of land and an inch of gold. Foreign merchants at most buy a house here, and they can brag about it for several months, but Island Master He of Yangshan is buying land and building it himself.
Is the land in Tianshui City something that can be easily obtained? Even if it's the suburbs.
"Whatever you need, just tell me."
After Tu Yuanhong passed away, Tonglin Ji went downhill all the way, partly because of the suppression by the Qi family, and partly because Tonglin Ji lost its golden signboard. Tu Yuanhong was the soul of Tonglin Ji and the key to opening up the upstream and downstream of Tianshui City's business. Once he died, Tonglin Ji's connections were not as good as before.
But getting building materials, contacting craftsmen, and finding suitable antique collections were things that Gu Lin, who had been deeply cultivated in Tianshui City for more than ten years, could do with ease.
"Great." He He Lingchuan stood up, "By the way, has my old friend Li Yuanhao sent anyone to visit recently?"
Gu Lin thought carefully: "At least I have no impression."
"Did President Tu mention him before he died?"
"Where is this person from?"
"West of Does Bailie."
West of Does Bailie is the Mu Nation.
Gu Lin shook his head more decisively: "President Tu never mentioned him in front of me."
"No matter, I just asked casually." Today's probing was over, and He He Lingchuan stood up to say goodbye.
Before leaving, He He Lingchuan went to the latrine first.
Looking around and seeing no one, the Soul-Seizing Mirror couldn't wait to ask him:
"It seems that Gu Lin doesn't seem to know that Tu Yuanhong is a member of Ling Mountain."
"Normal." He He Lingchuan said softly, "My relationship with 'Li Yuanhao', Ding Ding Zuodong doesn't know either."
As the general manager of Yangshan, Ding Ding Zuodong has to manage the islands and the chamber of commerce, but he doesn't know He He Lingchuan's relationship with Ling Mountain at all.
Such secrets, He He Lingchuan didn't reveal to Ding Ding Zuodong, and Tu Yuanhong probably didn't mention it to Gu Lin either.
Having been together for a long time, the mirror could vaguely guess his thoughts: "Do you want to acquire Tonglin Ji?"
He He Lingchuan was also pondering: "Yangshan's manpower in Tianshui City is insufficient, I do need more eyes and ears. If Tonglin Ji, which has been deeply cultivated in Yao Capital for a long time, can be used by me, of course it is best. However—"
He also had concerns: "I am new here, and I will have enemies later, it is best not to stretch my hands so long on the surface."
He will soon offend Qingyang, if he acquires Tonglin Ji at this time... Qingyang can't retaliate against him, can't she retaliate against his industry? "Contact first and then talk."
After letting go of the water, Gu Lin sent him and Zhao Commandant to the main gate, and then turned back.
He He Lingchuan wanted to stroll around, not in a hurry for a cart.
But he only strolled to the second old street, when the Soul-Seizing Mirror suddenly screamed:
"Hey, hey hey hey! Right front, right front, that Heyulin, look who came out!" ===== CHAPTER 1461 =====
