Chapter 234

The document for the Tiandi Alliance's trade was approved on the third day; as for whether it was a coincidence or someone operating it.

Li Rui didn't know.

But it didn't matter.

Soon, the first trade began.

The first trade was crucial, and the Tiandi Alliance made a lot of preparations for it.

Li Rui and Ning Ning Zhongtian had special identities, so of course, it was impossible for them to personally go to the Witch Kingdom to do business.

But besides the two, the experts in the Tiandi Alliance could be said to have come out in full force, led by the Second Alliance Leader Huang Chui and the Third Alliance Leader Fei Fei Laosan, and the momentum could not be said to be small.

This was to ensure that the trade was foolproof.

Although the foundation of the Tiandi Alliance couldn't compare to those major sects, just in terms of the scale of the merchant caravan, it wasn't bad.

No matter how strong a major sect was, it was impossible for the Sect Master to run the business personally, right?

Looking at the merchant caravan of three hundred people that had already set off, Ning Ning Zhongtian felt emotional:

"For handling things, we still have to look at Big Brother."

He, Huang Chui, and Fei Fei Laosan had tossed and turned, and the Tiandi Alliance was just a larger black-market gang; the ones making money were still casinos, brothels, and these things that couldn't see the light.

Now it's good; the weapon business was agreed upon by Jiangjiang Linxian, and according to Big Brother, even the Emperor was involved.

What concept?

According to Li Rui's previous life, it was like the referee coming down to play; he simply didn't know how to lose.

"In the future, the Tiandi Alliance will also be a gang eating imperial grain."

Ning Ning Zhongtian felt beautiful in his heart.

He had long heard that some sects and gangs specifically did private work for His Majesty the Emperor, and some were terrifyingly rich.

But not everyone could do it.

The key was to have a path.

"Fourth brother, don't worry, I have already greeted Dao Meng and the checkpoint, and Second Brother and Third Brother also brought the letter I wrote to Dao Mo, so there shouldn't be any mishaps."

Ning Ning Zhongtian looked at Li Rui again, feeling completely convinced.

He felt that pulling Li Rui into the Tiandi Alliance was one of the most correct decisions he had made in his life.

All the emotions in his heart finally sincerely called out: "Big Brother."

Li Rui rolled his eyes: "Why don't you cry for me? Big Brother likes to watch Dragon Gate martial masters cry."

"..."

A month passed.

Finally waited for the Tiandi Alliance merchant caravan returning from the Witch Kingdom.

When they left, the dozens of carts were full, and when they returned, the cart boards were already empty.

"Second Brother, Third Brother, you've worked hard."

Li Rui looked at the dusty but grinning crowd and knew that this trip had been very smooth.

How could it not be smooth.

The one who forged the weapons was the elder of the Divine Weapon Shanzhuang, Elder Tiekuang; the one selling the weapons, to put it small, was an Anning Guard military advisor, and to put it big, was the Emperor of the Yu Kingdom himself; the one buying the weapons was the Witch Kingdom imperial court.

Official to official, that is, there was no formal official document, otherwise, it would have to add the name of national aid.

Perfect closed loop!

It would be ghostly if something went wrong.

It was far more brilliant than the paths of Cao Wei, Zhuang Zhu Renhe, and the Divine Weapon Shanzhuang.

It wasn't that they didn't want to do it, but that they lacked a path like Li Rui's.

The Witch Kingdom mission in Qinghe really only recognized Li Rui alone; this condition could be said to be uniquely endowed by nature.

Huang Chui shook his head like a rattle, with a happy look: "Not hard, not hard."

"Big Brother, fortunately, I didn't disgrace the mission; this is the account book of this trade, take a look."

Saying that, he directly handed a small booklet to Li Rui from his bosom.

It was wrinkled; one look and you could tell it had been flipped through many times.

Ning Ning Zhongtian leaned forward, and Li Rui flipped it open.

Both of them gasped.

"Three Fifth-Rank elixirs, thirty Sixth-Rank elixirs, three hundred Seventh-Rank elixirs, a thousand Eighth and Ninth-Rank combined, ten thousand taels of gold..."

Look, look, a thousand Eighth and Ninth-Rank elixirs; the elixirs that were once regarded as treasures were now not even counted.

Ning Ning Zhongtian widened his eyes.

Good heavens.

The proceeds of one transaction were almost more than the profit of the Tiandi Alliance for five years.

This business, no wonder any force that saw it would be jealous.

It was truly damn profitable.

This was still because Li Rui was worried that the first trade wasn't familiar with the situation, so he deliberately only took out half of the weapons.

Seeing the expressions of Li Rui and Ning Ning Zhongtian, Huang Chui and Fei Fei Laosan were even more proud: "How is it, not bad, right?"

"This isn't just not bad, it's very good."

Ning Ning Zhongtian said seriously.

Huang Chui laughed and said: "This is all thanks to Big Brother; the weapons taken were of good quality, and the Witch Kingdom side were all acquaintances, so they bought them all without much bargaining."

Li Rui nodded.

Dao Mo was of course straightforward; these weapons were not ordinary weapons, but were forged by a weapon-casting master, and their value was inherently higher than ordinary weapons.

Moreover, the Witch Kingdom was currently in a civil war, and it was precisely the time when weapons were needed, and good weapons were even more needed.

Doing business with others, on one hand, they worried about quality issues, and on the other hand, they worried about the risk of running out of stock at any time.

But cooperating with Li Rui didn't have these troubles.

It was simply like coming across a pillow when sleepy, so of course, they wouldn't dwell on the details.

Otherwise, it was all real gold and silver; no matter how good the relationship was, they wouldn't throw money away, and the key was that Li Rui's grasp of the scale was just right.

Li Rui handed the account book to Huang Chui: "Second Brother, I have to trouble you to take out all the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh-Rank elixirs, find a vacant property of ours in Qinghe with a clean foundation, find a room to put the things well, and you personally guard it; naturally, someone will come to take them when the time comes."

Huang Chui and Fei Fei Laosan were stunned when they heard this.

They could hear that Li Rui was going to send all the Seventh-Rank and above elixirs away.

Although the profit was split three-seven, there could be many ways to split it.

Equivalent value, getting high-rank elixirs was obviously more profitable.

Fifth and Sixth-Rank elixirs were things they didn't have many opportunities to see even on weekdays.

Hard work, running for a month with fear and trepidation, only for others to take the big share, and even take all the good things.

This psychological gap made it difficult for the two to accept for a while.

Huang Chui couldn't help but ask: "Doing business together, just split it equally, no need to be so eager to please, right?"

Unexpectedly, Li Rui's face turned cold, and he glanced at Huang Chui: "Second Brother, I don't want to hear such words again in the future; I'll just tell you, we simply can't afford to offend those people. If you have this thought, don't intervene in this business in the future."

"Big Brother..."

Huang Chui was shocked; he didn't expect Li Rui to act so decisively, just asking a question, and the reaction was so big.

Li Rui's attitude made him not know what to say for a while.

Li Rui then sighed lightly.

Huang Chui and Fei Fei Laosan didn't know the situation, so he didn't blame them, but they couldn't have such thoughts because of this reason, otherwise, it was very likely they would drag the entire Tiandi Alliance to be buried with them.

So he had to speak bluntly, and had to speak heavy words.

"Some things can't be said, but Second Brother, Third Brother, remember in the future, when it comes to profit sharing, let go if you can, don't be greedy for a moment, otherwise, you will definitely bring about a fatal disaster."

Hearing fatal disaster.

Huang Chui and Fei Fei Laosan were both solemn.

Thinking back to Li Rui's attitude just now, it was probably a big shot who couldn't be offended.

Ning Ning Zhongtian knew the inside story; he understood that what Li Rui said was all true.

No matter which side this business was on, it wasn't something their Tiandi Alliance could offend.

Just as Li Rui said, taking money from either side was enough to make the Tiandi Alliance die without a burial place.

"Second Brother, Third Brother, just listen to Big Brother; this matter is really important."

Huang Chui and Fei Fei Laosan looked at Ning Zhong.

Their expressions also became solemn.

"Yes, remember it in the future."

Neither of them were chicks, and they understood the seriousness of the matter. Huang Chui said solemnly: "I will handle it personally."

"Good, you've worked hard, Second Brother."

Seeing Huang Chui like this, Li Rui nodded with satisfaction.

It didn't matter if the Tiandi Alliance was wild; if a gang didn't have the drive, how could it develop?

But wild is wild; some things that shouldn't be touched must be curbed once there is a sign, otherwise, it would be too late when things happen; by then, it wouldn't just be the Tiandi Alliance being liquidated, but he would also be implicated.

At this time.

Liang He walked into the hall.

Li Rui smiled slightly: "Second Brother, Third Brother, this is an unpromising disciple of mine; in the future, anything in the alliance can also be handed to him to handle; he was also a person of the Tiandi Alliance before."

Liang He bowed to Huang Chui and Fei Fei Laosan: "Seen the two alliance leaders."

He was originally from the Tiandi Alliance, so of course, he knew Huang Chui and Fei Fei Laosan.

=9+Book_Bar

Fei Fei Laosan looked at Liang He: "Not bad, young and promising."

He only felt that Liang He's bearing was extraordinary, couldn't see the depth of his martial arts, and the praise was just to give Li Rui face.

Huang Chui also nodded: "Liang He, right, then go out for a walk with me."

"Yes, Alliance Leader Huang."

Liang He clasped his fists and followed Huang Chui out of the Tiandi Alliance.

Li Rui looked at the backs of the two leaving.

His three disciples, Liu Liu Tiezhu followed Elder Tiekuang to blacksmith, so he didn't need to worry too much; Liang He was now arranged by him to come to the Tiandi Alliance, the meaning was very clear, he wanted to support Liang He to become the Great Alliance Leader of the Tiandi Alliance in the future.

Whether it could be done depended on Liang He's own creation.

Moreover, the things the Tiandi Alliance was doing now were dangerous, and Li Rui needed one of his own people to watch.

On the surface, it was said to let Liang He experience.

In fact, why didn't it contain the intention of supervising Huang Chui and Fei Fei Laosan?

The three alliance leaders of the Tiandi Alliance before, in fact, except for Ning Ning Zhongtian, Huang Chui and Fei Fei Laosan could only be counted as middle-of-the-road in Li Rui's eyes.

Although they became sworn brothers, that was looking at Ning Ning Zhongtian's face.

Huang Chui and Fei Fei Laosan might not sincerely recognize him as their Big Brother.

Not that they weren't sincere, but building trust takes time to test; trusting people too easily only makes oneself uncomfortable.

Liang He's existence was Li Rui's eye in the Tiandi Alliance.

Perhaps some people would feel uncomfortable, but it had to be done; making others uncomfortable is better than making oneself uncomfortable.

Concerning interests, and even life and death, it doesn't allow for you being good and me being good; it is bound to offend people.

Ning Ning Zhongtian watched all this.

Sighed in his heart.

He naturally understood Li Rui's layout.

Ning Ning Zhongtian and Huang Chui, Fei Fei Laosan had been blade-wielders together for ten years, and then became sworn brothers; the feelings accumulated over time were naturally unusual.

But Li Rui had only known Huang Chui and Fei Fei Laosan for a few months.

Based on Ning Ning Zhongtian's understanding of Li Rui, he was already being extra tolerant.

However, Ning Ning Zhongtian didn't feel there was any problem with what Li Rui did.

He used to be a Jianghu wanderer, so naturally, he felt there was no problem, but now that he was an official, he found it wasn't the case; a gang wanting to grow big must have the spirit of pioneering and daring to fight, but one point was more important, and that was not to provoke people who couldn't be provoked.

This kind of mistake only needs to be made once for the entire gang to be destroyed.

How to prevent it?

Only by setting rules.

And these rules must be followed by everyone; only then can it stand firm in the raging waves.

Although the Tiandi Alliance wasn't big yet, it already had this sign.

Neither he nor Li Rui liked this sign.

So Li Rui chose to strangle it from the beginning, lest it end up in a situation of painfully breaking an arm.

Li Rui was thoughtful.

The current Tiandi Alliance was so similar to the Zhu family of the past; couldn't Huang Chui and Fei Fei Laosan be the same as Zhu Lie, unable to change their previous barbaric style of doing things?

These temperaments might be very useful in the early stages and could accomplish many things.

But as the force continued to grow, it would become an incurable disease.

So Li Rui chose to curb this phenomenon from the beginning.

He had never liked dragging trouble bigger and bigger.

After doing all this.

Li Rui said to Ning Ning Zhongtian: "Fourth brother, I'll leave it to you here."

Ning Ning Zhongtian nodded.

Li Rui took the booklet and left the Tiandi Alliance; a moment later, he arrived at the Anning Guard Li Canjun's Mansion.

"Head Jiang, this is the list of goods for this trade; I have already ordered people to put the Seventh-Rank and above elixirs in a vacant residence in the city, and sending someone to take them won't be discovered."

Jiangjiang Linxian looked at the booklet in his hand.

A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He didn't need to do anything, and he had tens of thousands of taels of silver credited to his account, and it belonged to him alone, not shared by the Huaqing Sect.

Over time, it wasn't a small number.

"Not bad."

Jiangjiang Linxian looked at Li Rui with appreciation.

The account book had been flipped and rubbed many times; one look and you could tell it was the original, very hard to fake; moreover, Li Rui was very thoughtful and had prepared everything, saving him a lot of trouble.

He found this little old man Li Rui more and more pleasing to the eye.

A subordinate who handles things properly, who wouldn't love?

"Just leave the things there; I will arrange for someone to take them when the time comes."

"Head Jiang, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."

"Go."

After selling the first batch of weapons, there was a gap of about a month in between.

After all, Elder Tiekuang only had two people under him, the original shopkeeper and Liu Liu Tiezhu, so the quantity of course couldn't be too much; fortunately, the quality was extremely high, so it could guarantee profit.

Gradually.

Elder Tiekuang couldn't handle it alone, so he simply handed over the matter of purchasing materials to Li Rui as well.

He just focused on blacksmithing with peace of mind.

Li Rui was of course happy to pick up another beautiful job.

Under his handling, most of the Tiandi Alliance's black-market industries had been closed, leaving only industries that could be brought to the table.

And now the profit of one trade trip was enough to match the profit of the Tiandi Alliance for a year, so there was really no need to continue wasting manpower on those things.

Of course, some people were unhappy.

Then those who were unhappy were transferred to leisurely positions.

Commonly known as, being shelved.

Naturally, it was all Li Rui's handiwork; managing a large gang, one couldn't be soft-hearted.

Soon.

They would welcome the second trade.

This day.

Li Rui was staying in his official office at the Trade Office, and then saw Tang Hai run in.

"Head Li, a Huaqing Sect disciple came outside, saying he wanted to see you."

"Seems to be called Liu Tong."

Li Rui put down the book in his hand and pondered: "Call him in."

"Alright."

Tang Hai didn't run out for long before returning, bringing a young man with him.

Liu Tong smiled and bowed to Li Rui:

"Hall Master, I've missed you to death."
