The gloomy atmosphere gradually dissipated. The New Year was coming in two months, and there were more and more customers in the market.
Apart from the four markets, the rest of the markets would be opened to the members of the big chamber of commerce.
This move of the Gong Family won the unanimous approval of the members of the big chamber of commerce.
Lin Mengya also took the opportunity to spread the news that they would recruit a group of members after the New Year. However, they had to submit their applications in advance and go through the examination before they could join.
For a moment, those who were hesitant and watching could not help but slap their thighs in regret.
If they had known this would happen, they would have joined from the beginning.
She had been busy leaving early and returning late every day for the past few days.
Jin Yao also came to look for her a few times, but she was rejected.
Her dreams at night were no longer as threatening.
Everything seemed to be developing in a good direction.
In the headquarters of the big chamber of commerce, which had been officially named "Thousand Gold Guild", Lin Mengya was having a meeting with several core members of the big chamber of commerce.
Apart from the Gong Family, who had an absolute leading position, the Cheng Family and the Ma Family, as the first and strongest supporters of the big chamber of commerce, had successfully occupied a very important position.
Apart from them, there were also two larger groups of businessmen.
The two leaders of the caravan were surnamed Song and Sheng.
One of them was in charge of sea transportation, while the other was in charge of land transportation.
With them, the big chambers of commerce in the country could be revitalized.
Whether as elders or as members, they were satisfied with Gong Ya, who was generous, mainly because she had a strong backer and was a powerful collaborator.
Therefore, the atmosphere was harmonious.
"The big chamber of commerce has just been established. This is the business plan for the New Year. Please take a look."
Ning Liang immediately turned the business plan into a book and presented it to them.
After they had read it carefully, Lin Mengya did not speak casually. Instead, she listened attentively to them.
In this matter, those few were the true experts. She was just a cover.
"Other things can be put aside for now. However, it says that the Gong Family wants to use medicine and food as the starting point of cooperation. I think it's a little inappropriate. "
Song Da touched his beard. With his shrewd and capable character, he immediately found the loophole in the plan.
The others also expressed the same opinion.
The food was fine, but there was a problem with the medicine.
One must know that even though the profits from forging medicine were immense, under the jurisdiction of the Physician Hall, the profits would be greatly reduced.
Besides, the Physician Hall wasn't an easy opponent to deal with.
The experience they had gained over the years was that it was best to stay as far away as possible.
Hearing this, Lin Mengya smiled and said, "I'm afraid that all of you still don't know this, but not long ago, our Gong Clan and the Physician Hall completely broke off relations."
Her words were spoken lightly, but to the remaining people, it was like a bolt from the blue.
The two family heads of Ma family and Cheng family were not that shocked but Song Da and Sheng Fangtian stared at her in shock.
"Master Gong, this is not a joke!"
Sheng Fangtian said faintly. In his heart, he was hoping that Gong Ya was just joking.
Unexpectedly, that person looked at him gently and said, "In Boss Sheng's eyes, am I the kind of person who would joke around?"
With a cracking sound, Sheng Fangtian heard the sound of his heart shattering into pieces.
His face instantly became gloomy. In his heart, he wanted to apologize to his ancestors. It was all his fault. Now, he was going to destroy the family business that his ancestors had painstakingly accumulated for a hundred years!
"Master Gong, do you know that small businessmen like us are most afraid of encountering accidents on the road? Now that you are against the Physician Hall, if we get sick on the road in the future, we can only wait for death, right? "
Song Da's words were tinged with bitterness.
Lin Mengya suddenly felt that she had gone a little too far.
'Look at how scared these two old men are!'
"Actually, you two don't have to be so worried. I understand your worries. In fact, although the Physician Hall has a great influence, I came prepared. You can see that in the allocation of the caravan, for every twenty people, I have arranged an accompanying doctor. In this way, I can ensure your safety on the road. "
The two of them quickly flipped to the back and found that in the unified standard of the big chamber of commerce, apart from accompanying doctors, there were also chefs and guards.
Only then did the two of them heave a sigh of relief.
"But the most frightening thing about the Physician Hall is its influence. Gong Ya, we can't let our guard down. "
Cheng Rusong's words hit the nail on the head.
Lin Mengya had already made arrangements for this.
"Actually, the Physician Hall has been going against the grain all these years, and there are some who oppose it. However, they are either killed by the Physician Hall, or they are just small fries. "
Ma Lian and Cheng Rusong sensed something else from her words.
After Song Da and Sheng Fangtian left, Ma Lian and Cheng Rusong brought up this matter.
"Lass Gong, what you are going to do this time is not a small matter."
Ma Lian admired her personality very much.
But as much as he admired her, he could not treat the future of the Ma Clan as a child's play.
Cheng Rusong was the same. Facing the serious questions from the two of them, she sighed and said slowly, "In today's world, if we don't rely on ourselves, who else can we rely on? Do you think that the Physician Hall has been able to run amok for so many years only because of their interpersonal relationships? "
Ma Lian and Cheng Rusong were naturally aware of this.
The structure of power in Weiguo seemed simple, but it was actually a pool of muddy water.
The collusion between the various aristocratic families, the open and veiled strife between the Divine Temple and the Emperor, and the wild ambitions of the three kings caused the internal affairs of Weiguo to be in an extremely tense state at all times.
The current balance could still be maintained on the surface because of the restrictions of various parties.
Once this balance was broken, it would cause chaos, and the people of Weiguo would be plunged into misery and suffering.
"The Physician Hall is very mysterious. Even the information that we can find out is very limited. Could it be that the Physician Hall has something to do with that? "
Cheng Rusong's thoughts were sharp. As for the 'that' he mentioned, he was referring to the underground Immortal City.
Lin Mengya nodded and replied, "Most likely."
These days, with Wen Jingyi's tacit consent, they had collected a lot of first-hand information about the Physician Hall.
Some of the information showed that the secret techniques of the Physician Hall were of the same origin as the techniques displayed by the Immortal City.
Therefore, Lin Mengya guessed that even if the Physician Hall was not directly controlled by the Immortal City, there was a possibility that it had something to do with it.
If the Immortal City really relied on controlling the Physician Hall to infiltrate the forces on the surface, it would be too terrifying.
The three of them fell into silence.
Ma and Cheng, the pair of old brothers, had a tacit understanding with each other for many years.
They also thought of this aspect immediately. When they thought of the possibility that all the medicines that they had consumed over the years had been tampered with by the Immortal City, they felt a chill run down their spine.
"According to what you said, the Physician Hall should not be left any longer."
Ma Lian had always been known as a ruthless person. It was not that he was vicious, but in troubled times, weakness and incompetence would push himself and his family into a bottomless abyss.
"Lass, do you have any ideas?"
He looked at her and asked.
The latter thought for a moment, then said, "I feel that if we want to destroy the Physician Hall, we must first break its limbs, then dig out its foundation. Finally, we can completely eliminate the weeds at the roots."
"What do you mean?"
"Let's start with the Baili Family!"
A cold light flashed across Lin Mengya's eyes.
This time, Baili Mao specially came to find trouble with her. It was obvious that he wanted to expose the conflict between the two families for the world to see.
If so, how could she remain indifferent?
"Alright. I have long been unhappy with the Baili Family's boy! At such a young age, he is as unlikeable as his father. "
Ma Lian narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "As long as we don't let him die in Feiye City, there are so many roving bandits on the road. Who knows how he died?"
Cheng Rusong silently looked at his old friend, and only spat out a sentence after a long while.
"Your brain is really just for show."
"Old thing, who are you talking about!"
Lin Mengya was already immune to their routine quarrels.
Baili Mao had to die, but how to kill him would require some tricks.
Not long after, Ning Liang walked in from outside.
"Miss, Childe Baili is here. He said that he is here to deliver something to you. "
The quarrel stopped immediately.
Lin Mengya narrowed her eyes. This was really a case of going to hell when there was no door. She raised her voice and said, "Please."
In the "Vermillion Pottery Hall", Baili Mao arrogantly sat on the main seat.
When he saw Lin Mengya, the host, appear, he did not get up. Instead, he said in a very annoying manner, "Master Gong, do you mind if I sit here? Alas, this place in the countryside is too shabby. I have only stayed here for a few nights and my back and legs are already aching badly. Only this chair can make me feel more comfortable. "
Heh, Lin Mengya could not help but sneer in her heart.
Not to mention other things, in terms of wealth and fashion, her Feiye City was far better than the main city of the Baili Family.
"It's okay."
She expressed her generosity and then ordered someone to carry out an old-fashioned wooden armchair carved with a pattern of hundreds of flowers. She sat upright in the middle of the Vermillion Pottery Hall.
Although it was just a chair, it was inlaid with hundreds of different colored gems. It was so luxurious that it was inhumane.
Under Baili Mao's jealous gaze, she sat down leisurely.
"This chair is not mine, I'm not used to sitting in it. Chief Butler, remember not to use such a shabby chair to make a fool of yourself in the future. I still have a chair carved out of white jade, don't I? I'll use that next time. "
Lin Mengya, the crazy show-off, said casually. On the other side, Baili Mao, who had been turned into ashes in a second, looked gloomy.
Only now did he know exactly how laughable his words were.
After "complaining" about the chair, she turned around and asked calmly, "Childe Baili, can we get down to business now?"
