237: Entering the military market

Long Yuan hadn't noticed that Li Gui had this move prepared, which instantly gave him an official identity.

If this were in China on Earth, wouldn't he be the object of envy and jealousy for countless people who struggled to pass civil service exams but failed?

Ye Xuan from the Ye Family once said that her idol was in the Royal Music Bureau, and she also said that if Long Yuan joined the Royal Music Bureau, she would change her idol to him.

Now, if she knew about this, she might officially change her idol, right?

Qi Huaiyi watched this scene, his heart filled with regret.

He had previously thought about recruiting Long Yuan into the Jian Xuan Envoy Division South Division, and he remembered mentioning it to Yu Xun.

However, because Long Yuan's identity hadn't been thoroughly investigated, Yu Xun didn't make a firm decision later.

He didn't expect Li Gui to get ahead of him now!

If Long Yuan were to join the Jian Xuan Envoy Division South Division now, it would be a matter of course for him to ask for his help in capturing the cultists from the Shadow Moon Hall and Blood Wolf Hall.

It was all Yu Xun's fault!!!

Thinking of this, he couldn't stay for another moment and decided to go back quickly to discuss this matter with Yu Xun.

At the same time, all the cultists captured this time must be escorted back to Yingtian Prefecture.

If these people were not transferred early, Fengyang County might suffer an attack from the Blood Wolf Hall...

Before Long Yuan came to the County Government, he had actually discussed with the three Martial Masters Geng Rutai, Xu Guanghu, and Xu Guanghai, asking them to help him escort the cultists.

Geng Rutai and the other two naturally couldn't refuse; this matter was very important, and as Martial Masters of a prominent Family in the Great Ming Dynasty, they were duty-bound.

Soon, Long Yuan, along with Geng Yun and a group of Martial Master powerhouses from Fengyang County, saw off the three Martial Masters and the Black Tortoise Guard at the airport.

Of course, they also saw off the evil cultists they were escorting.

Watching the plane fly away, everyone felt quite emotional.

Fengyang County had truly dodged a bullet this time, narrowly escaping disaster.

It seemed that this world was truly not peaceful!

Tong Jingshan quietly pulled Long Yuan aside and said, "Young Lord, our Tong Family suffered heavy losses this time.

My father, who is also the Tong Family Head, Tong Fenglai, instructed me to double the price of Medicinal Pills to make up for some of the losses.

I wonder if you agree with this matter?"

Long Yuan was slightly startled, not expecting Tong Jingshan to even ask for his approval on this matter.

It seemed he truly wanted to cling to his thigh.

He thought for a moment and said, "Fengyang County has just survived a calamity, and ordinary people are still shaken.

If prices are raised now, it will definitely affect morale, as Medicinal Pills almost involve everyone's wallet.

So, it's better to be cautious!

I don't think the Tong Family wants to incur public criticism because of this, do they?"

Tong Jingshan nodded and said, "That's right!

I don't want to do such a thing either, but my father is stubborn and can't stand to see the Family's assets damaged, so he is eager to recover losses.

However, since the Young Lord doesn't agree, I certainly won't follow his instructions!"

Long Yuan glanced at him and snorted, "My disagreement is for the good of your Tong Family!

In fact, I've heard a little about the Tong Family's monopoly on Medicinal Pills in these several third-tier counties in the south and Nanming City.

Many people are already very dissatisfied with this.

If you still insist on raising prices, it will most likely lead to market backlash.

You should know that the current Medicinal Pill market in the Great Ming Dynasty is not completely closed but circulates nationwide.

If you go too far, people will bring in large quantities of Medicinal Pills from other provinces, cities, and counties for adjustment, and then your market share will decrease.

In the long run, you will definitely suffer more losses than gains!"

"This... Young Lord's insight is sharp, and his words are reasonable!" Tong Jingshan said, enlightened.

"Actually, if you want to recover some losses, there's a good opportunity right now..." Long Yuan then said.

Tong Jingshan's eyes lit up, and he eagerly asked, "What opportunity is the Young Lord talking about?"

"Aren't there wars breaking out in the north?" Long Yuan said.

"The north? That's the War Bear Country invading our Great Ming Dynasty's Zhenyuan City region..."

"Exactly!

When two armies clash, there will definitely be many injured soldiers and civilians, and Medicinal Pills will certainly be in short supply.

This is a demand increase under special circumstances, which is very different from your artificial price increases!

Now, whoever can capture this market can not only make a lot of money but also enhance their reputation.

If you can also donate some for free, then the Tong Family's reputation will further improve, which is more beneficial for the Family's long-term development in the future!" Long Yuan analyzed.

Tong Jingshan was immediately excited upon hearing this.

Why hadn't he thought of this?

Now, Medicinal Pills in the north must be tight, and the military will definitely need to increase its inventory, mobilizing this important resource from various places.

Isn't this the great opportunity the Tong Family has been waiting for?

However, he quickly thought about it and felt that the main reason he hadn't thought of this idea was that the Tong Family had no connections in the military.

Only those major Family forces of the Great Ming Dynasty could participate in the military resource market.

A second-tier Family like the Tong Family was far from being able to reach that level; they didn't even have the qualifications to sit at the table, let alone do business with the military.

This was the gap!

He shared this idea with Long Yuan, but then he heard Long Yuan say, "I can help with this, but I don't want it to be in the name of the Tong Family, but rather in the name of the Fengyang Alchemist Guild to support the military.

This way, it's easier to gain military recognition.

Another aspect is to support you, after all, you are the President.

As for the source of Medicinal Pills, you understand..."

"What? Can the Young Lord really help me with this?" Tong Jingshan said in surprise, completely losing his composure.

"Have you forgotten?

The City Lord of Zhenyuan City is Marshal Xu Yanran.

She is Xu Ruoying's aunt.

With my relationship with Xu Ruoying, as long as she says a word, it's not a problem for Xu Yanran to leak a little from the military market to your Tong Family... Forget it, I'll ask Xu Ruoying first!" Long Yuan took out his phone and sent a message to Xu Ruoying.

Not long after, Xu Ruoying replied with a message: "No problem!

No matter how many Medicinal Pills the Fengyang Alchemist Guild provides, the military will take them all, calculated at the military's usual acquisition price!

The contact person is..."

Long Yuan forwarded this message to Tong Jingshan and said, "The rest is up to you!

I believe that after this matter, your position in the Tong Family should be able to improve.

However, what concerns me should only be known by you and your father."

"This subordinate understands! Young Lord, rest assured!!!" Tong Jingshan was overjoyed and immediately said.

He quickly left in a hurry...

Just then, a "Knight" SUV "swooshed" to a stop in front of Long Yuan.

A head popped out of the car, it was Bai Pu from Yuhua Terrace.

He waved to Long Yuan and said, "Long Yuan, get in the car quickly, I'll take you to Yuhua Terrace to see your villa!"

"My villa? Oh, right..." Long Yuan remembered that Tong Xueqin had said last time that Yuhua Terrace would help him renovate his house for free.

It seemed it should be finished.

He got into the car and then realized that Bai Pu was also inside...
