Gong Zheng was in great shock, feeling as if he had never been so wrong before. Every decision he made seemed to be erroneous. Perhaps his respect for Tang Luo had mostly been attributed to Tang Luo’s family background. He sometimes wondered if other clan’s heirs misstep like this. However, contemplating on Mi Hou’s demeanor, he didn’t dare to jump into such conclusion.
He initially thought apart from Mi Shen, Tang Luo was the most capable heir in Xiling. But now, if Tang Luo were to establish his own house, the other heirs would be insignificant!
With the shift in cognition, Gong Zheng had recognized from this moment his intellectual submission, he treated Tang Luo with utter reverence.
He asked, “Young master, please instruct me on what to do.”
Tang Luo, with his acute sensitivities, naturally knew that with the change in Gong Zheng’s address, his mindset had undergone a drastic transformation. However, wasn’t this the change Tang Luo was expecting? He pondered over his forthcoming retreat, planning to stay in the mountains behind the clan’s base for a long time. He decided to explain all the counter-measures at once. How much Gong Zheng could understand was up to his own comprehension.
“Compared to the pomp and glory, people prefer the intrigue of secrecy. Disband the three thousand gang members and let them return to their familiar places to quietly spread the news. Announcing that there are some free farming tools available. With just thirty gold pieces, they can get a full set of farming tools from the Righteous Business Group.”
“To those who receive the tools, tell them that if they can bring a new person to receive the tools, their unpaid thirty gold will be waived. If they bring ten people, their tools will be practically free. For each additional person they bring, they will receive thirty gold in cash. Tell every shopkeeper and apprentice in the Righteous Gang to repeat these words to everyone who comes to receive the farming tools.”
“Also, let them know that as long as they apply for the tools in this way, if the tools are damaged within one year, they can be exchanged at the corresponding store, and they don’t have to worry about the Righteous Business Group providing inferior products.”
“You take my insignia to the Tang Clan forge, firstly transport all the existing farming tools to be stamped with the secret mark of the Righteous Business Group. I will then allocate you five hundred thousand jin of iron ore and two hundred thousand jin of wood, along with one hundred craftsmen, and ensure that two hundred thousand sets of farming tools are forged within a month.” Tang Luo took out his insignia and held it in front of Gong Zheng, calmly asking, “Do you understand?”
It was as if a Combined Attack Technique had struck Gong Zheng’s head, after hearing Tang Luo’s words, his whole body felt woozy. He realized that when the shopkeepers of Righteous Business tell the recipients about these benefits, it would create an unprecedented craze among the people of Xiling.
A scheme that could stir over a million people into madness was just a tactic for Tang Luo to resolve the crisis of his business. Gong Zheng was awe-struck, looking at Tang Luo’s calm demeanor at the moment, a sight he would never forget. Gong Zheng took the insignia and replied tremblingly.
understand.”
“If after using my insignia it still doesn’t work, then find the steward of the Star Pavilion, he knows how to find me,” Tang Luo explains with his calm demeanor, “Do you understand?”
Gulping down a lump in his throat, Gong Zheng looked at the insignia and then back at Tang Luo. He nodded firmly, “Understood.”
Tang Luo nodded, and finally instructed, “If after showing the insignia it still doesn’t work, find the steward of the Star Pavilion, he will know how to find me.”
Gong Zheng respectfully bowed as he saw Tang Luo off, he maintained his posture before Luo disappeared into the alleyway.
It took a while for him to regain his composure, with the look of shock yet fading from his face.
“Mindboggling….”Gong Zheng muttered to himself. He always wondered what the phrase meant, but now, seeing Tang Luo’s face under the moonlight, with a few words stirring up a storm in the city, he finally understood the phrase.
Sixth of June
The day Tang Luo officially went into seclusion. However, this time he was more cautious and brought with him several oversized training suits and the scroll of painting given by Mi Bai.
He hung the scroll in his hut and thought that he might develop some kind of artistic talent by looking at it every day. After all, when comparing with famous painters, nobody painted landscapes as lively and magnificent as Mi Bai.
If he were to transport Mi Bai to the former realm, Tang Luo was certain that he would become a renowned painter.
The one to usher Tang Luo was still Tang Han, but the latter’s status had changed from Elder to ordinary clan member.
The familar retreat space with the same bronze statue still intact.
As Tang Luo placed his package inside the hut, he started the operation of his cultivation method – Undying Battle Body. The silver glow circulated around his body, his muscles throbated and exploded, within a few breaths, he grew to the size of a three-meter-tall giant.
With a virtual fist aimed at the iron statue, it was deformed by the projection of the Great Mighty Dragon.
“At the ninth level of firmness!” Tang Luo pulled back his spiritual power, deactivated his Undying Battle Body, looked at the green mountains with determination, and declared, “I’m here!”
Inside a secret chamber in South City’s princely mansion.
A middle-aged woman sits seriously in a chair, her delicate makeup suggests that she could be equivalent to the madam in a brothel. However, there was nothing frivolous about her, she bore the demeanor of a significant figure in strategical planning.
As Mi Shen, with eyes like twinkling stars, entered the secret chamber, he bowed to the woman, “Greetings, Chief.”
“Young clan leader, please, no formalities.” The exquisitely made-up woman had vixen-like eyes but no allure, only wrinkles of wisdom, even when facing Mi Shen, she remained calm: “I assume you’re aware of the matter that the four ladies from distinguished families pressuring marriage?”
“Yes. Three of these families have arranged a Fierce Realm agreement with old Xu. They will likely withdraw from Xiling in the future. Should we prepare in advance?” Being the holder of a vast intelligence network, Mi Shen would of course have knowledge of this affair.
However, Mi Shen had already made his judgment: these major families, even if they wanted to stay in Xiling, would have no chance of rising up. It was better to become a subsidiary family under a holy son. While he agreed with the decision of few clan leaders, and with an agreement with Old Xu, these clans were certain to move their entire families to Yuanzhou. The influence and assets they have in Xiling will indeed become juicy and tempting targets.
“Does the young clan leader think so?” The woman exhales a sentence, causing Mi Shen’s face to change: “If I say, these ladies are destined to lose the Fierce Realm agreement. What does the young clan leader think?”
