Two weeks later, Qin Leyin came to the "tidal wind Pavilion" again.

Today's invitation is in the name of dinner. The last sunset gently touches xuanzhu County by the sea. The light falls on the bustling outer city, and the shadow remains in the quiet and tidy inner city.

Standing in the shadow, Qin Yueyin has red hair, but it is more colorful and charming.

When he looked into the distance, xuanzhu County in his vision was divided into two parts by nature,

One up and one down.

One is dark and one is bright.

One extends outward and one contracts inward.

Many ordinary scenery, in unusual days, will be seen by people in change.

"God's will," he said with a smile, "it's hard to break it."

The servant at the door respectfully took Qin Yueyin to the VIP compartment inside. Just like the last time, it was filled with familiar old faces, either the president of the chamber of Commerce who had been floating for many years or the young heroes who denounced Fang Qiu.

It was just different from the last time they were full of confidence. Qin Leyin came in. No one said hello to him. Everyone was meditating and drinking muggy wine.

In their eyes, they are confused, sad, confused and at a loss.

Although they are dressed in brocade and silk, drink good wine and eat delicious food, the place they are in is a luxurious restaurant, surrounded by clever and obedient waitresses.

But they look like,

Just as they despise the Dalits.

Qin Leyin's face remained unchanged. She sat down and refused the waitress's request. She glanced at the empty master and asked, "it's this time. Won't you please come home?"

"Please," said Luo Zhen, drinking sullen wine, "but they didn't send anyone. Since everyone is here, let the others go out."

"Why?" Quanxin, who was having fun with the waitress, was dissatisfied: "what else can we talk about now? We might as well eat and play. Just go down to xiangxuehai and be comfortable. I'll treat you tonight!"

"Quanxin!" Luo Zhen patted the table and was angry.

"The money you paid for going to hongyuhai is also on my head, all right?" Quan Xin is not empty at all. He shook his head and sneered, "what's the matter? Without Jing Zhengwei and listening to the second, you think it's your turn to be the boss? Who are you? You want to move me?"

"Quanxin!" Luo Zhen smiled angrily. He and Quanxin are partners who have played since childhood. Quanxin has always followed his lead. Now Quanxin actually humiliated him on the spot. He directly stood up and clenched his fist: "did you take medicine to break your brain or just think below? Bastard, do you want to die?"

"Ha ha, you're worried, you're worried, you're worried." Quan Xin laughed with the waitress: "who doesn't know that your Luo family is the dog of aristocratic families. Now Jing Zhengwei wants to unify silver and blood, and you can't be their money bag."

"Duke Wanghai wants to give him his daughter. Will other nobles still use your Luo family? Your Luo family licks the nobles, and the nobles lick Jing Zhengwei. As long as Jing Zhengwei expresses his willingness to continue to support those guys, the first of the five chambers of Commerce to disappear is your Luo family!"

Luo Zhen's face turned white.

Because what Quan Xin said is true.

In the five chambers of Commerce, if described by technical content, the Luo family's industry is the least technical. It is either a store, a transit merchant, or a downstream assembly factory. In short, changing the position of a pig in the Luo family can do well.

The strength of the Luo family came from the support of the nobility and the sheriff's house. Unlike other chambers of Commerce, which monopolize technology first, and then let the prefectural government maintain its monopoly, the Luo family first took out the prefectural government's chicken feather arrow and forcibly monopolized industries without technical content, so they can make huge profits without pressure.

For example, shoes.

Yes, shoes, which have little value, are monopolized by the Luo family in xuanzhu county. Ordinary people make their own straw sandals. The Luo family doesn't care, but if you dare to open a shop to sell shoes, you'll be blackmailed by the patrol guards.

The Luo family divides the shoes into many grades. The most high-grade and the highest look is naturally for people, but they will not put the copper plates of people. Even the cheapest shoes are a very uncomfortable price for ordinary people, but they are smart and will create public opinion in the shoe discrimination chain.

"Luo's shoes are comfortable and durable, with a history of 100 years and a cultural symbol," "only shoes can be worthy of you," "silver nobles love to wear this style of shoes," and so on.

This kind of public opinion is still very useful in xuanzhu county. People with shoes do have a sense of superiority over barefoot people. Many young people's first salary is to buy shoes for themselves, and even are willing to buy more expensive shoes - others wear the lowest grade, you wear the same money as silver aristocrats, and hold your head and chest high when lifting bricks.

But in the final analysis, the Luo family's profits are all due to his "compulsory monopoly.".

Even if other chambers of Commerce have peer competition, they can be forcibly crushed by their size; But the Luo family can't. once their peers enter, their "good money" profits will be squeezed to zero by the Dalit's "bad money" goods.

Therefore, the Luo family's dependence on the nobles in the sheriff's house is very large. Once there is no support from the above, the Luo family will die in an instant.

Now, the Luo family is in danger.

The noble and powerful officials have fully fallen to Jing Zhengwei. They don't have any pressure. It's no big deal to have another Lord. As long as they can continue to be officials, they will come back sooner or later.

They will not cherish white gloves like the Luo family. Although the Luo family is obedient and easy to use, after all, they are only gloves, not heirlooms. If the Lord wants to warm his hands, give them to him.

We all know this, and when we look at Luo Zhen, we can't help but take a trace of pity.

Although others can't escape, it is obvious that Luozhen will die the fastest, or even must die.

Workers need to be "irreplaceable" to escape the fate of being abandoned when they are old, and so does the chamber of Commerce.

The Luo family seems to have found rich people to keep them by kneeling and licking when they were young. They usually rely on more than a dozen buildings to collect rent. Now the rich people are bankrupt. They pack the Luo family and the dozen buildings and sell them to Jing Zhengwei. The Luo family has no temper at all.

Luo Zhen just stood and stared at Quan Xin. Quan Xin, who was hollowed out by wine and color, soon counseled, waved his hand and said, "forget it, save some energy to go to the fragrant snow sea tonight."

The waitresses, if pardoned, hurried out of the room. They can tell such secrets inside the silver blood club, but they can't listen. If they continue to stay, their lives will have to stay there.

Luo Zhen took a deep breath, his face returned to calm, sat down, looked around and asked, "the poet didn't come?"

Someone said: "originally, they were changing their production and preparing to leave Dongyang. Now xuanzhu county is like this. They paid a lot of money to the Linhai army and finally got the permission to leave."

People can't help but feel pity for poets - other chambers of Commerce have real industries at some point, and the money in them doesn't have to be pumped out of military spending, but poets sell almost all real industries these days, and there is too much working capital.

If 40% of the poets are selected, they will really copy 40% of the poets. A top-20 chamber of Commerce has lost more than half of its assets simply because of losses in the skyline and continuous man-made disasters.

Luo Zhen just asked casually and quickly entered the theme: "who knows the response of listening to the family?"

LAN Jianbo said: "the family is under full martial law, but they seem to be ready to sell the goods ordered by Heyang army to the warlords in the sky. They have already shipped a ship."

Someone was surprised and said, "how dare they sell the goods of Heyang army?"

Soon someone sneered and said, "Heyang army is disabled now. Later, I don't know there is Heyang army. Do you still keep it for Heyang army as charity?"

The most famous commodity of Tingjia is gun, naturally.

When Heyang army was there, 90% of the output of Tingjia gun factory was sold to Heyang army at cost price, and even often lost money, while the remaining 10% was naturally the root of Tingjia's prosperity.

The reason why the listener sold it to Heyang army so cheaply is not because of their deep love for this land, but because Heyang military guns point at them. Do they dare to sell it expensive?

Now Heyang army is crippled, and the governor gashiwen is gone. The ship yard of wolf prison may fight inside. The military has no ability to check and balance the listening family. Where do you need to see their faces?

On the other hand, listeners are now most likely to become warlords. They have guns and people. If Jing Zhengwei had not intervened with the Linhai Navy, Dongyang district would have listened to it.

"Listen, home is not with us anymore."

"Yes, Jing Zhengwei can't help them."

"If you listen to Jing confluence... Fortunately, I'll see you later. I have a grudge with Jing Zhengwei..."

"What's that grudge? It's a big feud between listening to Gu and seeing you later. Isn't listening to Gu supposed that nothing has happened? He even really gave him his concubine..."

"True or false, do you know?"

"Two days ago, I saw a woman flirting with me at the dock. I practiced flying flower tactics and recognized that woman as the concubine of listening to Gu."

Quan Xin asked seriously, "is it beautiful?"

The respondent thumbed up: "Xiangxue Haitou brand level."

Even if it's about life and death, once we talk about colorful content, it still tilts the building with the momentum of thunder.

But Qin Leyin can understand them.

In the face of difficult problems, normal people will choose to escape, just like students doing homework for one minute and playing mobile phones for half an hour, just like the author writing a thousand words and playing three-hour games... This is a defense mechanism, because we are not rational people and can not make the best decision.

The best decision for pupils who scored 10 points was to go home and take off their pants and wait to be beaten, instead of adding a 0 with a red pen behind the score, but some pupils always hoped that this could deceive their parents and escape a severe beating.

In the face of unprecedented problems, most people are no different from primary school students. They may know the best decision in their heart, but they can't make up their mind. Maybe they hope for miracles in reality.

At this time, we need a leader, a guiding lamp, and a person who can make everyone feel better.

So Qin Leyin knocked on the table to let the gossip people focus on themselves.

"Let's surrender."
