Chapter 13: Cause and effect and truth (Part 2)

At the beginning, the conflict between Wang Dafu and going with the flow was just a simple battle of will, but when the Eastern Mainland Business Alliance came forward to publicly accuse Green Willow City, the nature of this matter changed a little.

In the announcement of the East Mainland Business Alliance, the content of the entire incident was blurred to the extreme, and the sentence "The dignity of the master cannot be provoked" was repeatedly emphasized. It is not difficult to see that in the concept of the Business Alliance, "Who is right and who is wrong with the two men who go with the flow" in this matter is actually not important to them. Maintaining the "dignity of the master's identity" is the key point that the Business Alliance really pays attention to.

The concept of "no matter whether the master's behavior is right or wrong, it must maintain its dignity" is undoubtedly taken for granted in the eyes of ancient people who valued the ethics of heaven, earth, kingdom, teacher, and ethics. However, for modern players, especially lord players, this idea is very ridiculous. If a person can be transcendent to all the rules that must be followed, and even override the rules, then what else do we lords do?

To put it bluntly, because of the adversary of the business alliance, this incident gradually changed from a conflict between the two people's intentions to a conflict between the old and new ideas.

But then again, this kind of pure concept dispute has never been the focus of players' concern. In fact, except for the parties involved and a few interested people, basically no players care about this matter.

Even the parties involved don’t care much about the so-called “Business Alliance Announcement”. At least for Wang Dafu, he didn’t pay attention to this ghost thing at all.

On the one hand, Wang Dafu has little contact with institutions such as the East Continental Parliament and the East Continental Business Alliance. Although he has an understanding of their energy, he still does not know them very clearly; on the other hand, it is because of the particularity of the "Zheng League" itself.

After the Green Willow Chamber of Commerce left, Wang Dafu immediately went to the "Wanderson" headquarters to find the young scholars to ask for detailed information about the business alliance. Since he had planned to compromise with him, he would naturally have to make more preparations. Wang Dafu was still very clear about the principle of "knowing oneself and knowing one's enemy".

However, after reading the information, Wang Dafu immediately reduced his concerns about the "Business Alliance" to the lowest point.

Although the strength of the Commercial Alliance is strong, the strength of the "Commercial Alliance" is not very good!

The reason why the Shang Alliance is powerful is that its main members are basically powerful people from all over the country, especially the nine elders, all of whom are rich and rich. This kind of power combined can be said to be extremely terrifying!

However, the "Shangjiao League" located in Xuanyuan City is just an administrative agency or service organization under the Eastern Continental Council. Apart from some senior clerks, even ordinary senior members rarely appear here, let alone the nine elders. Apart from the necessary duty and meetings, the nine elders will not come here at all. In other words, this "Shangjiao League" cannot represent the mainstream will of the Shangjiao League, let alone make any decisions on behalf of the Shangjiao League.

To put it bluntly, the so-called "Shangjiao League Announcement" is a group of small officials who are idle and have nothing to do. In order to curry favor with the elders of the Shangjiao League, Wang Dafu was too lazy to answer such a small matter. To be honest, he even doubted whether Suibo himself knew about the release of this "Announcement"!

That's why there was that silent middle finger...

As for the attitudes of the real bosses of the Shang League, Wang Dafu is not worried yet. He forcibly expelled a merchant grandmaster and the elder of the Shang League, which will definitely make those merchants feel embarrassed and even teach themselves a lesson. This is why they acquiesced to the issuance of the "Shang League Announcement" and the withdrawal of investment from the Huanxi Chamber of Commerce and the Qiao family in Green Liucheng.

However, the nature of "merchantists seeking profit" and their ability to accept new things determine that they are not very interested in this conflict caused by "face" and "ideas". As businessmen, they do not need to show any "deterrence" or "influence"!

So after the early anger, as long as Green Willow City can guarantee sufficient attraction and interests, they will not really fight with Wang Dafu for such a thing, and doing this is not in their interest at all!

For "merchantists", gold coins themselves are already the best "deterrent" or "influence"... Of course, if Green Willow City has no attraction in their eyes, they would not mind adding a little "prominence" to the business alliance by killing Green Willow City.

After all, everything is caused by "interest". Whether you really have to face the "real anger" of the Business Alliance is not the attitude of the Business Alliance, but Wang Dafu's own performance!

With such a clear understanding, Wang Dafu naturally put the issue of the business alliance behind his mind and began to consider the current problems...

Ignoring the ups and downs of the outside world, Wang Dafu began to focus on coping with the current situation. Since he has figured out the real reason for the continued decline of the economic index, a series of targeted measures will naturally be introduced.

"Apology and please go back and go with the flow" is the easiest and most effective method. Wang Dafu naturally threw it into the garbage dump without thinking. Faced with the temporary evacuation of merchants and the withdrawal of investment from Huanxi Chamber of Commerce, the first method that Wang Dafu thought of was to significantly increase government investment. At the same time, he strengthened the confidence of the territorial residents through publicity. For this reason, he even personally took action and gave his first speech in Green Willow City that afternoon.

The effect is naturally needless to say. The strength of the salivating man in the new era is unquestionable. After the speech, the decline in the economic index immediately stopped. After a large amount of government reserve funds were put into the market, it began to rise slowly again. Not to mention the satisfaction of residents, it quickly returned to the original value, and even increased by two points. As a result, when the day ended, everything seemed to be moving towards the good.

However, Wang Dafu himself knew that these were only temporary phenomena. He could not use government funds for long-term investment. Moreover, if the problem of "temporary evacuation of merchants" cannot be solved within seven days and the merchants are really formally evacuated, then Green Willow City will still be seriously damaged, so he must make good use of this buffer time. Even if the final loss is inevitable, at least enough preparations must be made.

In the next two days, Wang Dafu was orderly and continuously improving the various constructions of Green Willow City. On the other hand, he arranged his subordinates to attack from all sides to strive to contact other business owners and try to see if there were any unexpected gains.

After all, there are "river and lakes" in places where there are people. Wang Dafu never believes that the entire business alliance is a solid piece, and there is no conflict between all the business owners!

Anyway, all he needs is a merchant master. It’s not that he has to be the elder of the Shang Alliance. It’s just that after the “Qiaojiabao Incident”, the reputation of the Qiao family in Shanxi was severely hit, which caused Qiao Zhishun, Qiao Zhiyong and others to be both merchant masters, but before they could regain the reputation of the Qiao family, neither of them could meet the requirement of “being recognized by the world” in the “Tasks of the Hundred Schools of the World”, otherwise Wang Dafu would not have to worry like this at all.

However, although the problem of continuous decline in economic index is temporarily controlled, it does not mean that Wang Dafu will have a good mood now. In fact, his mood is getting worse and worse, and his anger is getting stronger day by day.

The consequences of randomly provoking the "grand master's dignity" gradually began to show. The fat man suddenly realized that it was as if he had guessed the Suibo guy too simply. He seemed to have also regarded the power of some conventional folk rules as well!

On the second day after the "Business Alliance" issued the announcement, Wang Dafu forcibly expelled the "business evacuation mission" and was forced to accept the "business evacuation mission". Several D- and E-level talents who had not been in office but had been settled in the territory of the affiliated territory of Green Liu City appeared in front of him, and after criticizing him, he voluntarily announced his departure!

Although these people are at most low-level masters of level 8 and level 9, and because they have not been in office, they have little impact on the territory, but their words have made Wang Dafu feel very uncomfortable, making the fat man feel unhappy for a long time. Who knew that similar things happened one after another in the next period of time. Although they were all unsuccessful and even fat man did not find any low-level special talents in the land, and there was no problem with the main senior talents, but this was enough to make Wang Dafu feel more and more depressed!

What made Wang Dafu even more angry was that he had some fundamental knowledge and was not the residents of Luliu City. He went to Luliu City to scold him. Most of these people were old scholars who were "respected" and were pedantic in front of Wang Dafu. He pointed and slandered in the classics and cursed him with great enthusiasm. He made the fat man unable to beat him or beat him; he could not drive him away; he also had to serve him who had good food and drinks to avoid being arrogant, rude and despised his talents and did not accept others' words. He was simply depressed and speechless!

It lasted for two days. On the fifth day of being forced to accept the "merchant evacuation mission", not only did nearly 20 low-level special people announce their departure, but also a considerable number of people came to scold and threaten the fat man. At the same time, the work of finding a new merchant master was not smooth. All the people they contacted refused the invitation from Green Willow City. On the other hand, the construction of Green Willow City itself also fell into a bottleneck. In addition to the military index, the cultural index and economic index began to stagnate!

Under such circumstances, Wang Dafu, who was anxious and angry, had a growing temper and his face became more and more blue, which made the elves of the city lord's mansion start to hide when he saw him, for fear that he would be swept away by the typhoon tail if he accidentally!

In the afternoon, I finally sent a Confucian madman who had been entangled with him for two days away. He almost ran away and killed someone with a knife. Finally, I could sit down and change my breath and take a rest. Who knew that before the stool was hot, someone came to me again!

This time, the local people are not ordinary local people, and they are not those who can ignore the cat and dog directly. These people are Martian couple Xiao Xixi, Tangtang and the elf girl Yi Gui!

There is no doubt that these three people are Wang Dafu’s most important friends among players, and they are also the ones who have given Wang Dafu the most help among all players!

So when Wang Dafu heard this, "Acheng, I'm sorry, I'm leaving!", he was stunned on the spot. After a long time, he squeezed out of his teeth and said, "I'm leaving? Why are you leaving? Is it because of the one who goes with the flow?"

To be honest, Wang Dafu was really a little discouraged at this moment. He could ignore other people's things, but the Martian couple in front of him can be said to be his closest and most important friends in the game, let alone the elf girl... If they choose to leave without agreeing with their own behavior, it will definitely be the worst blow to Wang Dafu!

For a moment, Wang Dafu's face was ashamed... But at this moment, the "Firebroken Mother Tyrannosaurus" Tangtan suddenly burst into laughter, and said while laughing: "Haha~~ Husband~~ I can't stand it anymore, but I really made you think it's a good idea. This guy really looks like such a dead look! Oh, Oh~~ My stomach hurts~~" As Tangtan's hilariousness, the other two couldn't help but laugh secretly, but made Wang Dafu confused and stunned!

After laughing for a moment, seeing that Wang Dafu really couldn't stand it and was about to get angry, the elf girl came over and explained embarrassedly: "I'm sorry~~~Acheng, we didn't make it clear just now that we were leaving, but we just went to the Minghan Empire to participate in the life skills and magic competition of the 'No. 1 World Competition', not as you thought... Haha~~ I'm just kidding you, don't be angry~~" In the end, the elf girl's face looked very embarrassed, but the unscrupulous Martian couple over there were still laughing happily, while Wang Dafu's forehead was already covered with black lines.

After taking a few deep breaths in the soft and gentle words of the beauty, the shy and angry fat man finally couldn't help but gritted his teeth and asked:
Chapter completed!
