CHAPTER 65: CHAPTER 64: FULL MOBILIZATION

Outside the courtyard, Wei Zhe and the others were quietly waiting for Yuchi’s message.

The tension still lingered amongst them.

They had experienced such things before, and it was precisely because of these past experiences that they knew how harsh these situations could be.

Once a transit point was completely damaged, it meant that many routes needed to be adjusted.

It required a detour, and for the already thin profits, it was a blow again and again.

If it were just a single family, it would be bearable; they’d just grit their teeth and swallow it down.

But now, it was an entire guild.

All the goods were consolidated and transported by the guild.

If the entire transportation route of the guild was blocked, the cost might be the loss of trust.

And trust is precious and rare.

The youth in everyone’s gaze had his head lowered, occasionally furrowing his brows, and then deep in thought at intervals.

Efficiency was quick.

Within just a dozen breaths, he had already made a decision.

He walked up to Xun Xian, "Miss Xun, could you please make a trip to the guild? There are three matters."

"First, explain the situation and document it."

"Second, obtain the agreement of the other guild members."

"Third, notify the people from the Celestial Capital Department and have them dispatch two people to come with us."

Xun Xian nodded solemnly, her figure disappearing from the Wei Mansion, immediately setting off to carry out her tasks.

Yuchi then turned to his elder brother, "Brother, later you need to go to the Twelve Linked Huts, there are three matters."

"First, estimate the pure loss; I still don’t have a clear grasp of the guild’s route."

"Second, obtain the guild’s transport maps, including the old versions, I need to see if there’s room for optimization in the transport routes."

"Third, while keeping the Twelve Linked Huts calm, temporarily stop sending goods to Hechong Village until this matter is resolved."

Wei Zhe, after hearing this, immediately took a few subordinates and left.

Speaking calmly, with a smile in his eyes, Yuchi looked at his nervous yet expectant father.

"Father, after breakfast, please make a trip to the yamen and thoroughly investigate the business dealings of the Cloud Mountain Sect."

"I’m not sure if they have anything to do with this matter."

"Examine their transit points and try to get their route information; I’ll take a look later."

There was no help; at this time, the Wei Family needed to mobilize completely.

The second brother was now buried in the yamen making plans for family affairs, better not to have him running around.

Everyone should do their own designated task.

"Alright, Chi’Er, are you going to Hechong Village?" Wei Xubing asked with some concern.

"Yes, I have to go and take a look. I have three days before I need to know about the guild’s business dealings, just the right amount of time to go out and see."

"Every link in the business cannot have a problem, especially the transport routes."

"I need to take a detailed look at the transportation situation." Yuchi said with a smile.

"Then be careful, don’t overstrain yourself." Wei Xubing said with some reluctance.

"It’s fine, the Celestial Capital Department and the Defense Department will be protecting me; they are more eager for me to stay safe than I am." Yuchi smiled.

This was indeed true.

"Mm!"

Wei Xubing didn’t finish his breakfast, grabbed two buns, and left with the other members of the Wei Family heading to the yamen.

Little Ximo was being held by a maid, blinking in confusion.

"Uncle, aren’t we going out to play?" Her big, watery eyes looked at the black-haired youth before her.

"When uncle comes back, I’ll bring you a small gift!" Yuchi walked beside Little Ximo.

"Okay, uncle, come back soon, I’ll miss you!"

"Of course, little Ximo is so good!"

Pinching her chubby little face, Yuchi cracked a smile.

Glancing casually at the maid.

The maid hurriedly lowered her head and said, "I’ll definitely take good care of her, Young Master. Rest assured!"

This Third Young Master of hers was truly wise and powerful. She didn’t know what had happened, but seeing everyone doing their tasks in an orderly manner made her full of admiration!

So calm!

A man is truly handsome when he works earnestly.

If only the young master would earnestly be with me, looking down at me from the bed, it would be unbelievably handsome!

"Alright, I’ll have Wei Yuan come and help you take care of her."

"If there are hardships or areas where you need help, you can come directly to me."

"We are family."

Yuchi looked at her, amidst her excitement and nervousness, he left the courtyard.

...

The situation came suddenly, but seeing the reactions of his family, it was evident that this wasn’t the first time something like this had happened.

Yuchi also reflected on himself as he walked towards his courtyard.

This time he had been careless and did not dodge the issue.

His previous life had given him basic business concepts, concepts that people of this world generally did not possess.

But his concepts had a fertile ground for existence.

This meant that routes generally wouldn’t face too many disruptions — there wouldn’t suddenly appear a group of bandits blocking the highways.

Such things only happened in the distant ancient times of his previous world.

Here, it’s different.

Transit points had a probability of being swallowed. Once swallowed, it was difficult to restore them, and only other transit points could be used.

This forced detours between two points.

The farther the detour, the higher the transport cost naturally becomes.

"The logic of the guild now is riddled with holes."

"Manufacturing, warehousing, transportation, sales, after-sales, not a single link is completely reassuring."

"Especially warehousing and transportation."

"If the guild wants to go far, it must branch out, preferably setting up subsidiary guilds in some critical routes."

"Otherwise, having all garments in one Xufu Town and then slowly sending them out is foolish."

"The efficiency is also very low."

"It’s fine for the early stages, but the pressure will be enormous later."

"The ’small and beautiful’ model is only suitable for unique entities like Immortal Robe Pavilion — a guild focusing on volume has too many things to consider."

Don’t be in a hurry.

Take things slow.

Once a problem arises, there will definitely be a solution.

By the way, industrial business is freaking difficult!

Damn!

...

In front of people, Yuchi remained calm and composed.

Behind closed doors, he swore and returned to his room.

He roughly estimated that Xun Xian and the others would take at least half an hour to return.

Thinking of how he hadn’t returned to the Ascension Gate for a while, Yuchi suddenly felt a yearning for Shen Qinghan and Xu Feiling.

Before leaving, he should go take one more look.

Once he returns this time, he shouldn’t only handle matters for the Wei Family; he needs to take good care of the Ascension Gate as well.

He cannot focus solely on making money and neglect these two young girls.

They were both tricked into coming here, and he needed to treat them well.

Indeed.

Once I return, I’ll make frequent visits to check on the mental state of Qinghan and Feiling.

With this thought.

Yuchi’s face grew solemn.

"Damn it!"

"Why do I feel like I’m setting myself up for a big letdown, with a looming feeling of getting my comeuppance."

"Wait till I finish fighting the war and then I’ll come back to marry you."

"Wait ten years for your return, and I’ll marry you then."

"Once I kill him, I’m willing to let go."

There were many similar situations.

If it’s just one jinx, it might not be fatal.

Two spells of bad luck are dangerous.

Three spells generally spell the end.

"Best not to mention it... Who says, who suffers from bad luck."

Yuchi’s hair stood on end, thinking about how he was still the Young Master of the Wei Family, the problem shouldn’t be too big, right?

It should be... right?

Actually, Yuchi was still quite flustered now, having a strong chance of directly facing people from the sect.

If the sect was behind this, he might actually be eliminated.

His strength was still lacking.

The Qi Cultivation Realm was still a bit short.

"I really am not good at fighting, I only have pure Spiritual Qi." Yuchi chuckled bitterly, "Really an embarrassment to the transmigrators."

He opened the door.

Inside, Wei Qingzhu sat quietly on a stool.

Slightly turning her head, there was startling beauty on her pure and delicate face.

"Brother Wei?"

"You finally decided to have me? Okay, I’ve been prepared."

"Come on, what position?"

She stood up, about to undress.

Yuchi, "Young lady, are you trying to kill me..."
