Chapter Twenty-Eight: Start Early It stands to reason that the profession of this weapon king is also a little conflicting with the golden tooth, because the golden tooth is a broker, and he will sell whatever the customer wants, so part of his business is the sale of weapons.
It's just that most of the weapons provided by Golden Tooth are second-hand, and the price is cheaper than the weapons of the King of Weapons, plus the weapons are only part of the Golden Tooth business, so the contradiction between the two is not so deep, and Golden Tooth does not regard him as an enemy.
After all, the gold tooth is also in the arms business, and his weapons are cheaper, although they are second-hand, but they are all from the army, the quality is still very reliable, plus the price is cheap, it will inevitably have an impact on the sale of his weapons, but this influence does not make him resent the gold tooth - not to mention that weapon casting requires a large amount of iron ore, and whether it is local or overseas in the Tang Dynasty, whether the scale is large or small, all iron ore is controlled in the hands of the imperial court.
The King of Weapons' family business is large, and it is impossible for him to provide so many ores alone, so he needs the energy of the Golden Tooth......
So not only did he not dare to offend the Golden Tooth, but he still demanded it.
"It's really troublesome, so let's ......"
Seeing that there was no way for anyone present, the auction king finally came up with an idea: "Since everyone is here, it proves that everyone wants to protect the interests of our No. 5 area, and I think I should have my own ideas, in this case, then let's write out our respective methods, and let a few bigwigs jointly determine whether it can be done - anyway, there may be spies among us, but a few bigwigs must not be spies of the court." ” The auction king's method is not very clever to say, but it is indeed the best way at the moment - provided that there are really spies among them, and they quietly pat a few bigwigs, which can be regarded as a pat on their ass.
"That's a good idea, so let's do it."
A few bigwigs discussed it and thought it was a good idea - after all, although everyone belonged to the dark world, they really didn't bring so many bigwigs together for a meeting, and it was the first time they had done such a meeting, and they couldn't do it perfectly without experience. …… "I really didn't expect that such a small place would be responsible for nearly eighty percent of the black market transactions in the entire South Seas, which is incredible......
But how is there no one?
” Just when all the underworld bosses gathered together to discuss how to deal with Li Zhen, Li Zhen was still wandering around the No. 5 area, but now he was very depressed, because he had been shopping for almost an hour, he was stunned that he only saw two open stores, and the rest of the shops were either hanging closed signs, or they couldn't open no matter how they knocked, but it made him depressed.
The handsome guy who led the way in front of the head of the "......" heard cold sweat on his forehead, but his heart was full of slander: "Aren't you talking nonsense?"
Now the news of your old man's appearance in Area 5 has long spread all over the illegal zone, and we thugs usually collect protection money, tie up a frame, extort money, sell some black goods, and occasionally use a knife to open a film, and the bullying is the little people, where have I seen a big Buddha like you?
Who would dare to provoke you without opening their eyes?
Besides, you yourself are so resolute, it is almost clear that you are going to destroy Area 5, we haven't had time to run, where do you dare to come out and cause trouble?
” Fang Yiai interjected at the right time: "Your Highness, my subordinates have something to understand. ” There is no need for Fang Yiai to ask, Li Zhen knows what he wants to ask: "You want to ask, this palace clearly told you that you would do it in three or five days, why did you act in advance?"
” "Your Highness is wise, and that's what your subordinates want to ask."
"The reason is very simple, because this palace wants to catch them off guard."
"Caught off guard?"
Fang Yiai was puzzled for a moment, and in a blink of an eye, he understood: "Your Highness, you don't believe in the dark stake you laid at all?"
” Because there is a handsome old guy (the handsome guy's name is too shameful, I will call him a handsome old guy in the future) next to him, so Fang Yiai did not say the name of the golden tooth, but replaced it with a dark pile.
"There are reasons for this, but not the main reason."
Li Zhen said lightly, he was indeed a little suspicious of the Golden Tooth, but this was not one of the reasons that prompted him to do it - on the contrary, if he could use this incident to prove the loyalty of the Golden Tooth, Li Zhen would still earn it.
But now it seems that instead of betraying him, the Golden Fang is still loyal to him, presenting him with a list that will plunge the whole world into turmoil.
"Then His Highness means ......"
"This palace originally planned to do it at this time, and the news of doing it three or five days later was itself to paralyze others."
"My subordinates understood."
Li Zhen said very vaguely, but Fang Yiai still understood - this should be combined with the current situation in Nanyang, except for one peninsula in Nanyang, the rest are islands, these islands are isolated overseas, but each of them is a very important strategic place, and each of them is an inseparable lifeblood for Datang.
Therefore, although the imperial court did not set up a government agency on every island, the military institutions were on every island, especially on an island like Luzon, which not only had a navy, but also an army led by the Metropolitan Protectorate, two fleets and a Metropolitan Protectorate, and the number of soldiers even exceeded 100,000 people, which guarded the Luzon Islands tightly, ensuring that no one dared to invade the Luzon Islands.
But as I said before, these islands are isolated overseas, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, as the local emperor of the soil, the corruption of the army is naturally inevitable - it is like the Wild Wolf Gang, which was established by a colonel within the Coconut Harbor fleet, relying on the Wild Wolf Gang, he can earn tens of thousands of yuan every year, ten times and a hundred times higher than his Yulu.
There are many such situations, and even several bigwigs in the Nanyang underworld must pay protection fees in Coconut Harbor, that is to say, these corrupt officers in the army themselves are vested interests in the underworld, and they themselves are also the cornerstone of the Tang Dynasty's stability in Luzon's rule.
And after taking the filial piety of the underworld, these corrupt officers themselves are also responsible for delivering news to the underworld, ensuring that they will not be exterminated - otherwise, after so many years, they are so rampant in Coconut Harbor, even if Fang Yiai is incompetent, it is time to take action to sweep them away (of course, there is also a reason for Li Zhen's order, but when Fang Yiai usually expresses his position, these officers are also strongly opposed, which makes Fang Yiai hate).
