Chapter 372 – Primitive Economic Warfare

Back in the county town, it wasn’t quite late at night yet, and many homes were still lit up. Xue Mu pondered for a moment and knocked on the door of a roadside iron store.

The owner opened the door and probed, ”What time is it? It’s closed, come back tomorrow.”

Xue Mu took out a small piece of white iron and asked, “This kind of fine iron pith, do you sell it here?”

The boss took a glance and looked a bit odd, “Yes, three taels of gold to one tael of iron pith.”

Yue Xiaochan sucked in a breath of cold air, “Robbery?”

The boss shook his head, “That’s the price, love to buy or not. If you don’t buy it, I’ll close the door.”

Xue Mu pressed against the door and asked after him, “Who set the price?”

“The government, of course!” The boss impatiently closed the door.

“Tsk ……” Xue Mu hefted the white iron and tossed it, “How interesting.”

Yue Xiaochan also said, “How interesting, there can be so many ways to drag down a clan.”

Xue Mu shook his head, “Very basic and primitive means, built on the foundation of the Questioning Sword Sect’s own chaotic management. I’m afraid they don’t know how to play true economic warfare yet.”

Yue Xiaochan wondered, “What is economic warfare?”

Xue Mu pinched her nose, “Actually, I don’t know how to play it either.”

This Essence Iron Marrow was a specialty of the Heavenly Sword Sect’s own backyard, and their uploading was mainly about turning in this, not paying money. However, the production of this thing is extremely small, since being cheated a batch, the Heavenly Sword Sect to put together another batch has been unable to put together, must go to others to acquire. The result is obvious, the price is premeditatedly flying up, and the Heavenly Sword Sect can’t do anything about it.

Encountering crooks can be regarded as an incidental event, but with prices soaring in a targeted manner, it is clear that there is an imperial court manipulating it.

Adding in the fact that the money and other resources collected from the lower levels were lost, what did this make the Heavenly Sword Sect do? Of course it could only scrape the ground and even expand the scope of what it shouldn’t collect.

If this one or two days or not all, there are only two possible results, one is simply explicitly said that not all, sparing the upper punishment, directly cut off the supply. The other is, then fall into the devil, start robbing is.

A glimpse of the leopard, the Heavenly Sword Sect so, other places similar situation will not be less, either cut off the supply to reduce the supply, or degenerate into a demon.

Cutting off supplies is to let the question of the sword sect lost supplies, scavenging and looting is to let the question of the sword sect lost hearts, both are heavy blow, as long as this situation continues for one or two years, the question of the sword sect does not fight since the collapse.

The two returned to the inn, Yue Xiaochan laughed, ”If this continues, the Questioning Sword Sect is going to be bad. Are you going to save your Sword Glaze?”

“Of course.”

“Aren’t you afraid of being told that you are elbowing your way out? Those scams and robberies are all demonic camps that you want to destroy?”

“The nature is different …… This is not a battle between the righteous and the devil ……”

This matter from the face of it, or the struggle between the righteous and the devil in the continuation, not to mention the looting ah fraud ah these are also the devil’s own regular camping, it is even more natural.

And also did not involve asking the Sword Sect deacon personally supervised the front line part, asking the Sword Sect people mostly do not know the following rotten into this. Such as Elder Wang such supervisors are only intermediate sects, the devil door is cut in these grassroots points below, ask the sword sect tentacles do not have direct regard for the place.

It is also because of the normal business of the devil’s door grass-roots drilling holes, and is not the high-level in the targeting of the Questioning Sword Sect, so Xue Mu also did not hear the devil’s door sects mentioned.

Of course, this is also because the Ask Sword Sect’s management sucks, just a normal point of the clan will also have a very complete resource operation process, which can easily be so blindly messed up. Not to say how detailed, as long as casually stationed in various places of a hall, assigned one or two disciples specializing in resource collection, who dares to ask the sword directly from the hand of the disciples to take food? Even if someone strong to, that immediately reported to the clan to deal with, ask the sword clan sent out strong targeted solution, what the demons and monsters also swept away.

A super sect, as long as willing to manage, how will not lead to such a fault to be caught empty. Listening to Yue’er’s tone, this situation has been going on for many years, only recently it has been particularly serious. I really don’t know how to ask the Sword Sect’s senior management how to do things for so many years, high above the self-care sword practice never considered the grassroots?

If only from the perspective of the righteousness of the devil’s battle and the devil’s business, Xue Mu really is not appropriate to intervene in this matter, otherwise there is really a suspicion of the elbow to the outside.

But the shadow of the court in this matter has been very clear, I’m afraid that there are other sects on the question of the sword clan stupid ambition to take over, at the same time all in the matter. The devil’s door is involved in it, but a little bit of the flavor of being used as a gun, and may even lead to the questioning of the sword clan after the account to the devil’s door head, the nature of this can be different.

“Magic Sect camping, it’s not that it can’t be done, but it also depends on the occasion.” Xue Mu knocked on his fan, leisurely said: “This kind of camp being used as a gun still rushed to do it happily, should I say stupid or should I say fall out of the eye of money? Must ask the Sword Sect management again lagging should also know that there are devils in the mess, when the positive and the devil and war, Ji Qingyuan hiding in the palace laugh?”

Yue Xiaochan smiled, “Habits are like this, and the people below can’t be as eye-catching as the patriarchs.”

Xue Mu laughed, “Now that this matter is known to this Alliance Master, I’m afraid Ji Qingyuan’s calculations will fall through again.”

Yue Xiaochan wondered, “You may still be able to do it if you let the Devil Sect withdraw from this matter, but the Questioning Sword Sect’s fatigue isn’t caused by the Devil Sect, but it’s a big problem in itself, even if Ji Qingyuan doesn’t rely on the Devil Sect there’s still a bunch of ways he can toss them around miserably, can you save it?”

“Can.” Xue Mu sighed and added: “The key instead lies in the fact that Jian Li needs to have authority and be able to order people around, or else I won’t be able to make it work even if I have a hundred ideas.”

Yue Xiaochan sourly said, “But do you need to help Ask Sword Sect? Asking the Sword Sect whether they live or die is none of our business, we still have a big grudge against Lin Wu Ya! Even if you like Mu Jian Li, just keep her at that time.”

Xue Mu reached out and embraced her, saying in a low voice: “If it’s only for Jian Li, I can indeed not care about the Questioning Sword Sect. But Xiaochan …… Star Moon Sect’s thinking of doing things must be out of the dark mode of the early years, uniting the majority of the people and combating the small part of the people, this is a must to bring a power to rise. You see I do not like monks, but I still unite the Blameless Temple, not to mention the foundation of such a good relationship with Jian Li, sitting back and watching the Ask Sword Sect in trouble is called stupid. You have to remember, even if something happens to me and I can no longer give you guys ideas, you, as the Star Moon Young Master, will have to act in accordance with this guideline thereafter.”

Yue Xiaochan was a little shocked to hear this, “What nonsense, you won’t have an accident!”

“Just saying that, it looks like the atmosphere is solemn and dignified.”

“Solemn your ghost ah, no nonsense in the future!”

“Don’t say I’m a bad guy anymore?”

Yue Xiaochan buried her head in his arms and murmured, “You are a bad guy, you are the best at bullying little girls, I’m almost broken when I’m casually messed with by you.”

Xue Mu attached his ear and said, “But I want to bully you again ……”

Yue Xiaochan bit her lower lip, “No way, tonight was just an accident, you can’t open the practice to just touch me!”

“Then you’re still holding me so tightly.”

“Only I can hug you, you can’t hug me.”

Xue Mu was angry and amused, so he just hugged her a little tighter and lowered his head to kiss her.

As it turns out, some things become casual after a start. No matter how arrogant Yue Xiaochan’s mouth was, when Xue Mu lowered his head to kiss her, she didn’t think of pushing away at all, her long eyelashes shivered slightly for a while, and she finally closed her eyes.

Those cherry-like red lips were dainty and colorful, as if waiting for someone to pick them.
