Zongwu: My business is to engage people

Chapter 37 Situation

Jiang Yuan said with a smile:"There is no point in keeping money in your hands. It must be dispersed, otherwise the money will have no value. You are well versed in business and should understand what I say."

Mu Han Yan said in surprise:"So Mr. Jiang also knows how to do business? What about you before?"……"

Master Jiang shook his head

"Before, my strength was low and I was insignificant. Even if we integrate Dongzhou City and make a lot of money, we still can't hold on to it, but it will lead to death. Might as well be a majestic little leader of the Salt Gang."

"what about now?"

"Now? Now I no longer look down on a small place like Dongzhou City. Business Dao must take a long-term and broad view. Only in this way can your interests be intertwined and remain strong. For example, when your business reaches countries outside the Great Xia Dynasty, and let their interests form a prosperous network with you, even if the Great Xia Dynasty encounters a military disaster or even perishes, you will still be you. This is called Interests are tied up, do you understand?"

Mu Hanyan took a breath. She thought she was already outstanding in the Great Xia Dynasty with her skills. Now she realized that in front of Jiang Yuan, she was just getting started. It turned out that

Jiang Yuan was more than just a beginner. With superior martial arts and a terrifying mind, he even understood the Tao of Business so deeply that she doubted whether Jiang Yuan's age was fake.

"Thank you Mr. Jiang for your advice. I was really a frog in the well before!"

Jiang Yuan said calmly:"In the future, we will not only have one Dongzhou City, but I still trust you very much. Grow up as soon as possible. I hope that you will be in charge of all the businesses in my territory in the future."

Mu Hanyan's eyes showed determination.

"I will work hard."

At this moment, a guard came in to report

"Hall master, city lord Xu Dong and head coach Ran Lie asked for an audience outside the door."

"Let them in!

Mu Hanyan stood up and said,"Master Jiang, let me step back first!" Jiang

Yuan waved his hand:"No, now you are also one of the few senior officials under me. There are some things you need to know.""

After the two of them walked in the door, they all knelt down on one knee, clasped their fists and bowed to Jiang Yuan.

"See Hall Master."

That's all for Ran Lie. He has already pledged his allegiance to Jiang Yuan, and Jiang Yuan is also the savior of his whole family. It is reasonable to kneel down and bow down.

But why does the city lord Xu Dong also kneel down and worship Jiang Yuan?

Not only Ran Lie was horrified, and even Mu Hanyan, who had been in Dongzhou City for such a long time, was also horrified.

Xu Dong was actually from Jiangyuan?

Controlling the city lord of a city, could this be achieved by a branch leader of the Salt Gang?

They discovered , never looked through Jiang Yuan from beginning to end.

Jiang Yuan hummed softly:"Get up!""

"Xu Dong and Mu Hanyan, if you don’t look up and meet each other, you don’t need me to introduce you, right? Xu

Dong cupped his fists and smiled at Mu Hanyan:"Xu is the goddess of wealth in Dongzhou City. In the future, when Xu is short of money for the hall leader, Elder Mu will have to take more care of her!""

Mu Hanyan quickly returned the gift.

"City Lord Xu praised him, they were all doing things for Mr. Jiang."

"This is Ran Lie. He used to be a partial general in the Jizhou Black Armor Army. He has a peak fifth-level cultivation and is good at marching and forming formations."

"I met General Ran."

After the three of them got acquainted with each other, they all turned to Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan glanced at the three of them:"I'm calling you three here today. Firstly, Dongzhou City has been stabilized, and there is no need to hide anything anymore. Meet occasionally to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings"

"Second, the chaos in the Great Xia Dynasty has begun. If we want to continue to control Dongzhou City and not be washed away by this torrent, we need to make some changes."

As soon as these words came out, Mu Hanyan looked shocked. The Daxia Dynasty was already in chaos?

But Xu Dong and Ran Lie seemed to have known about it for a long time and did not find it strange.

"Xu Dong, tell me about the information you gathered over there."

Xu Dong nodded and responded.

"According to the information I received, Chen Gong, the deputy commander of the Jizhou camp, and the city lord of Tianxin City rebelled seven days ago. They led the Jizhou camp with 150,000 troops and announced that they would join the Blood Moon Army. They have now taken control of seven cities including Tianxin City."

"The Xue Yi Hou on the border of the Great Xia Dynasty also led 100,000 people on the border to declare to join the Blood Moon Army. Faced with King Xia's imperial edict to lead troops to quell the chaos of the Blood Moon Army, King Weiwu of the East chose to stand still, probably because he also wanted to establish himself as king. The powerful and powerful forces in other parts of the Great Xia Dynasty also took notice. Now the Great Xia Dynasty is in turmoil."

"Yesterday, the city lord of Black Cloud City also sent a letter inviting me, hoping that our remaining five cities would form an alliance to resist the attack of the Blood Moon Army. At the moment, I have not responded to them, waiting for the hall lord to make a decision."

Mu Hanyan was stunned. He was immersed in Dongzhou City. He didn't expect that there was already chaos outside.

Ran Lie sighed:"The imperial court has gone against the grain in recent years. King Xia is young, powerful ministers are in power, and even more so in the army. It was so corrupt that it required the soldiers' families to be held hostage in order to make the soldiers obey orders. Such a dynasty has long been on the verge of turmoil. It is only a matter of time before the dynasty changes."

"However, this Blood Moon Army is coming with ferocity. They are originally the force of the Blood Moon God Sect, and the Blood Moon God Sect has been cultivating the Great Xia Dynasty for many years, so it is not easy to deal with them."

Jiang Yuan had already seen the signs when he was in Tianxin City. But what surprised him was that the deputy commander of Jizhou Camp and the lord of Tianxin City were also members of the Blood Moon God Sect. This was done openly, but secretly Blood Moon How many people has the cult attracted?

Jiang Yuan said solemnly:"If it's just civil strife, then there's no big problem for us to protect ourselves. The key is that the two dynasties that are connected to the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty. If they introduce troops to invade at this time, the situation will be completely different."

"And Jizhou, where our Dongzhou City is located, borders the Daqi Dynasty. Although Dongzhou City is not an important border town, if Da Qi's troops are pointed out, the Jizhou camp has rebelled and has no strength to resist Da Qi. The Da Qi dynasty's army will march straight in and will inevitably come to Dongzhou City. Ran

Lie thought for a while and suggested

"Now we have two ways to go. The first is to agree to an alliance among the five cities. The forces of the five cities will gather in one place to resist the Blood Moon Army in the east and the Qi Army in the west. However, the armies on both sides are stronger than the troops of the Five Cities. Regardless of individual strength, training, leaders, etc., the Five Cities Alliance has almost no chance of winning, and the remaining results are a dead end."

"Second, we can choose one of the two forces to defect to, and we will be safe, but from now on, Dongzhou City no longer belongs to us."

Xu Dong and Mu Hanyan looked at each other, each other's reluctance was written on their faces. Dongzhou City will be lost on both roads, so it's better to pack up and run away all night.

Jiang Yuan was extremely calm. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip and asked

"Ran Lie, according to your calculations, how many soldiers are there in the five cities in total?"

"According to the military system of the Daxia Dynasty, one city's patrol troops, city lord's palace guards, and government officials and policemen from various departments, etc., can fight almost two thousand soldiers, and the five cities add up to ten thousand."

Jiang Yuan shook his head.

"No... there are at least 100,000 combatable soldiers in the five cities, and only a lot more."
