Xu Lao noticed Ji Fengyan's inquiring gaze and spoke up."Meng... Boss Meng's words... are true. Although the Free Valley is a refuge for us, but... because there are newcomers to the valley every year, and the people here... are not usually the hardworking sort, so... resources are hard to come by."
It was common sense that these bunches of criminals would rather commit murder and robberies than go work the fields.
If Ji Fengyan wanted to take over the entire Fu Guang City, she must naturally understand the current situation of the city. Meng Fusheng might be exaggerating but it was still mostly true.
Bounty hunters would attack the Blood Tribe whenever they ventured outside, and they often lost a number of brothers. This sacrifice for goods would naturally boost up the prices.
However...
"Next time, whenever you venture out, have Yang Jian accompany you guys. In the future, the Blood Tribe will continue to run the shops, but the prices have to be readjusted back to more reasonable levels." Ji Fengyan told Meng Fusheng.
Meng Fusheng immediately looked at the tall, muscular Yang Jian standing beside Ji Fengyan. His heart gave an involuntary lurch. He recalled the scene of this very person butchering all his enemies in sight. Consequently, he dared not say another word but just obediently nodded his assent.
After Ji Fengyan became the Boss of Fu Guang City, there was a complete reshuffling of the power base. In total fear of Ji Fengyan, the Blood Tribe fell under her and became her number one force.
At the first, the residents were worried that this new authority would bring a major upheaval to Fu Guang City. But they soon discovered...
Things seemed slightly off?
The Blood Tribe-managed shops continued to run, but with the prices of the goods reduced. The prices were almost at normal levels now.
This change had the residents in Fu Guang City jumping for joy. Everyone knew that the Blood Tribe-managed shops were a scam with sky-high prices.
Following that, Ji Fengyan also opened up the right to trade. All able residents could open shops in Fu Guang City. However, before doing so, they would need to pitch their idea to Linghe and company, to declare what goods they would be selling and whether they had the ability to actually the run the shop.
The residents of Fu Guang City were excited now. The market monopoly held by the Blood Tribe had been finally been broken. On the very first day after they announced the news, a huge batch of people were already clamoring to open their own shops.
And there were a wide variety of shops proposed.
Ji Fengyan immediately carved out one street for them to use.
The sparse retail scene in Fu Guang City immediately flourished. More people also started filling the streets.
However, Meng Fusheng watched the transformation of Fu Guang City with a miserable face. Ji Fengyan's method had the whole of Fu Guang City satisfied, but they themselves were in a hole.
After the huge reduction in prices, the goods in the Blood Tribe-run shops were all bought up. They also didn't have much items left in the warehouse. With stock running low, they would soon have to head out of the valley to gather more goods. Even with Yang Jian's company, Meng Fusheng still felt desolate.
Because...
Ji Fengyan had decreed that they could head out of the valley to source for goods, but were not allowed to use any form of robbing or thievery. Otherwise, they were not to return.
