Chapter 43 Flourishing
As soon as Guan Hai parted the slope with his sword, the bandits began to disperse.
This knife killed not many thieves, but it brought great deterrence, making these bumpkins who had never seen the world instantly feel frightened.
As for Xu Lin, who had seen the world, he immediately took the people and started running away.
If he still had the intention to fight at the beginning, after all, the three thousand single talented elites were not invincible.
But after Guan Hai took action, Xu Lin had no intention of fighting anymore and only wanted to run away.
As a former Han Dynasty general, Xu Lin knew very well what Guan Hai's internal energy leaving the body meant.
There weren't many such strong men in their army back then. The last time he saw the inner energy leaving the body, his name was Sun Jian.
It was only because he had seen it that he understood how terrifying this perversion was. He could already see the fate of these thousands of thieves. It was estimated that they would be dispersed by them as soon as they met, and then it would be time to harvest.
Xu Lin was originally wondering why the family went to so much trouble to find so many bandits, and even specially supported an elite force of 500 people. It turned out that it was not a fuss.
Mu Yi held the knife and stared at Xu Lin's escape direction, and cursed in his heart. The cloud node was on the opponent, but the opponent ran as fast as a rabbit, and the decapitation tactic was over before he could use it.
However, the effect was achieved. The coach fled, the clouds dispersed, and victory was already within his grasp.
"Throw away your weapons, and those who surrender will not be killed!" Mu Yi roared with cloud energy, and a group of beaten thieves dropped their weapons and knelt down to surrender on the spot.
"Guan Hai, take people and surround them for me!" Mu Yi scanned around and found a bunch of misfits.
Among the thieves and bandits who were kneeling and begging for mercy everywhere, a group of elites standing in formation looked so eye-catching.
"Boss Cui, what should we do!" The younger brother asked the leading man in fear.
"Oh~ what else can I do!" The man called Boss Cui sighed, and then threw away the knife in his hand. Guan Hai had already brought someone over, what else could he do.
Looking at the split cliff, Boss Cui scolded the people of the aristocratic family so much that they were just scum and said that he could just teach them a lesson and get the salt-making technology.
Even if they tied up the private soldiers of the family behind them, it was unclear whether they could defeat the other party.
"Are you the leader this time? What's your name?" Mu Yi looked at the man Guan Hai mentioned in front of him and asked casually.
"The younger one's name is Cui Hai, and the leader's name is Xu Lin, who has already run away!" Cui Hai explained honestly.
It's not that he didn't want to run away, but he didn't run away. He was arranged by Xu Lin near the Chinese Army. Originally, this arrangement was very good, but when he wanted to run away, he couldn't escape. The chaotic bandits blocked everything he had. escape route.
But Xu Lin fell at the rear and ran faster than a rabbit. If he could go back, he must kill this shameless thing Xu Lin.
"What is your mission? Get salt-making technology? Or kill me?"
Mu Yi asked casually. It didn't matter what the purpose of the family and Yan Xiao was. The feud had already been settled. Sooner or later, the score would have to be settled with them.
"It's just about salt-making technology, they don't dare to do anything else!"
Cui Hai said cautiously. His life was now in Mu Yi's hands. He could tell that the person opposite him was the real target this time - Qingzhou Mu Mu Yi.
The news has spread, and they have all heard about it. Although those aristocratic families do not recognize him, his life is in the hands of the other party now, and he must treat the other party as a state pastor.
"Don't dare? Why don't they dare!" Mu Yi sneered and waved his hand, "Take them down and keep them separate from the others!"
"It's not the time yet, we have to wait, but since you are making trouble, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Mu Yi knew that Luoyang had not yet been burned, and it was not the time for him to raise an army. He would have to wait until the Han Dynasty collapsed and all counties and counties were in panic before he could more easily accept these territories.
But before that, he had to give these salt owl families a little yellow scarf shock.
Mu Yi did nothing but added more manpower, doubled the scale of salt production, and then sent troops to transport the refined salt to various counties.
Anyway, these refined salts are basically costless for Mu Yi, and the labor cost is completely negligible. Even if these refined salts are sold at a low price, he will still make a lot of money.
Then the entire eastern part of Qingzhou was almost instantly dumped by Mu Yi. Merchants were chasing profits, and people were chasing prices. The cheap and delicious refined salt almost directly occupied the market in eastern Qingzhou.
And because of the low price, almost all salt sellers have been squeezed out of sales. A large bag of salt is worth a copper plate, and they can only buy it for three or four months at a time. They have no way to fight a price war with Mu Yi.
They couldn't afford to pay, and even their refined salt might not be as high quality as the ones sold by Mu Yi.
It has to be said that the identity of Qingzhou Mu is a good brand. Anyway, even if they are dumped, these businessmen and families would not dare to do evil directly.
However, these merchants soon changed their minds and no longer fought against Mu Yi. Instead, they bowed directly to Mu Yi. Instead, they directly bought Mu Yi's refined salt in bulk and then dumped it elsewhere. Anyway, their main focus was to pursue profits.
As for face, what is that? Isn’t this benefit real?
Those aristocratic families pretended to be reserved, but those merchants were not pretentious at all. They came directly to the door with food and bowed at Mu Yi's feet, and then happily left with ten thousand stones of refined salt.
After the wave jumped down repeatedly, Mu Yi lost his temper.
These businessmen were indeed able to have both sides of the story, and everything they brought to him was what he needed.
Food, crossbows, and even armor are all here.
Some salt lords even directly sent him a group of refugees, which touched his heart. He cleared up his previous grudges, and then began to use these businessmen as his tools to benefit the people.
Many people simply moved their whole family to Buqi County, making it clear that they were joining Mu Yi without even leaving any escape route for themselves.
Mu Yi is also happy to see the results. Previously, he was limited by the lack of channels and could only hold his nose and deal with the Zhen family.
Now that he has his own people, it is of course more comfortable to use his own people, but he has not cut off contact with the Zhen family. After all, these businessmen can only be active in Qingzhou.
After leaving Qingzhou, his status as Qingzhou Mu was not easy to use, and it was not even easy to use in Qingzhou. If it were not for the record of defeating bandits twice, maybe some people in Qingzhou would not buy it.
The trade between Jizhou and Xuzhou still relies on the operations of the Zhen family.
After one operation, he got money and people, and even gained good popularity in Qingzhou because of his behavior of selling refined salt at low prices, which further confirmed his identity as a herdsman in Qingzhou.
At least among the common people, Mu Yi, the state pastor who brought them low-price refined salt, was a good official.
In particular, Mu Yi sent people to publicize that before he became a state pastor, he was also from a farmer's family. This made many ordinary people share the same glory and support Mu Yi even more in their hearts.
