Chapter 955 Crazy Night(1/2)
As the capital of the Panawa Kingdom, the construction scale of Kampicilan City is relatively large in India.
However, houses of this era, whether they were the Tang Dynasty, Japan, or Linyi and Tianzhu, were basically wooden houses.
The shops rented by Gandi Sugar Shop are no exception.
Since it was only used temporarily for a period of time, Gandy did not make any particularly large requirements for the geographical location of the shop at that time, except for certain requirements for the size and decoration style of the shop.
Anyway, although India in this era is rich, it is only compared with other countries in this era.
Therefore, the shops here cannot be expected to be so magnificent that they are built, and they are incomparable to the east and west cities of Chang'an City.
After all, the so-called wealth in Tianzhu is just because in the agricultural society, the total economic output is mainly agricultural output. Tianzhu has a large population and a flat land. There is almost no winter. Rice can be ripened twice or even three times, so it seems that the people are relatively rich.
"This is the room!"
In the night, there was almost no light on the entire street, and only occasionally there were a few barking sounds of dogs coming from the yard behind some shops.
With the moonlight, several figures quickly approached the Gandi Sugar Shop.
"Put all this rosin at its door and then dry firewood, be sure to burn it before everyone comes out to put out the fire!"
Obviously, this group of people was Ansello who found someone to deal with Gandy.
Currently, there is only one place in Campchiland that sells sugar. As long as it is burned, it will be impossible for sugar to be sold tomorrow.
This is just a warning from Ancelo to Gandy.
If he doesn't know the current affairs, then the next step is not just a fire shop.
Anthello also didn't mind the blood in his hand, and he hadn't been touched anyway.
"If we break into the door directly, it will be better if we light the fire in the shop. The other party has told us that the remaining money will only be given to us if it is satisfactory. If we just light the fire at the shop door, it is very likely that we will not be able to burn the entire shop. At that time, the buyer may find excuses to blackmail our money. Anyway, it will burn everywhere, so just burn it hard!"
"It makes sense. In order to prevent the buyer from finding an excuse, we would simply burn the shops on both sides of the left and right, so that the fire would be stronger. Even if someone knew that the fire had caught, it would not be too late to extinguish it so quickly."
For these people, there is no bottom line in doing things.
Anyway, they were already jealous of the rich people in the city, and felt that these rich people were unkind and deserved to die.
Now that someone spends money to make them do damage, he naturally becomes even more unscrupulous.
So soon, a ball of flame quickly ignited with the impact of flints.
Under the influence of rosin, and the house itself is made of wooden, the fire began to grow in just a few minutes.
"Let's go! I guess someone will get up nearby soon, don't be hit by someone then!"
...
"Bang bang bang!"
In the dead of night, these knocks on the door seemed very rapid.
Gandy, who was not sleeping very deeply, suddenly jumped up from the bed.
In a foreign country, Gandi always keeps vigilant. Every night, he arranges a guard from Shunfeng Escort Agency to watch the night. Now the guard who suddenly watches come and knocks on the door. Something must have happened!
"Hongjia, there is a place in the city that is on fire!"
With the sound of opening the door with a "creaking" sound, Gandy appeared at the door.
"Is it the direction of our sugar shop?"
Gandi had a premonition today that his trip to India would not be so smooth.
Sure enough, before the night was over, there was movement in the city.
"Yes! Although I don't know if our sugar shop has been affected, from the direction, the street where our shop is located has caught fire. Why don't I go over and take a look?"
Gu Junfeng was the person in charge arranged by Shunfeng Escort Agency this time, so he naturally had some courage.
"No! It's high and dark now. Once these people are really targeting us, it's dangerous to go out. Anyway, the sugar in the shop is almost sold during the day, and there is no inventory, so it will burn if it's burned! However, starting tomorrow, you don't have to accompany me in the inn and go directly to the boat. I guess they will attack our boat next!"
Gandy put herself in her shoes and thought about Ansello for a while, and then she knew that the impact of sugar on him was enough to support him in his madness.
This is equivalent to playing mahjong, when people just want to play Tianhu, you have no other chance to win except to overturn the table.
"No problem! This time I went to sea, I specially brought a few steel crossbows. As long as it was not the lord of Kanchipuram who ordered the army to siege us, the scattered thieves would not be our opponent at all."
The escort agencies these days are not as leisurely as security companies in later generations.
But Gu Junfeng had fought with people during the process of protecting the darts, so he was not very panicked.
"Okay! Then it depends on Gu Biao.com. It will take several days for the matter between Mital and I to settle. Before the sugar is officially delivered to Mital, Anthello will definitely continue to arrange people to make trouble, and even go crazy one after another!
Don’t underestimate Ansello. As a large workshop owner with nearly a thousand people, it is possible that if he acts ruthlessly, he will arrange hundreds of people to attack the fleet. At that time, we will be unable to defeat four hands with two fists, and the consequences will be very serious."
Gandy knew very well that if she continued to develop according to her plan, Ansello's sugar-making workshop would only go bankrupt.
Although this year, he can also produce some frosting appropriately and transport it to places where there is no white sugar to sell.
But Mital's movements will definitely not be slow. When he gets completely different sugar at the same purchase price, he will naturally choose sugar with a wider profit margin.
Moreover, taking advantage of this opportunity, Mital will not only win the sugar market in Kanchipuram City, but he will definitely continue to expand rapidly and strive to become the largest sugar merchant in Tianzhu.
By then, the Mittal family is expected to become the wealthiest businessman in the entire India.
This temptation will definitely push Mital to do his best to promote sugar.
"The soldiers come to block the enemy, and the water comes to cover the earth. Letting untrained people attack our fleet is no different from dying. It just so happens that our ship has a large number of arrows, and we have never had the chance to use them. Then we will leave them to the Indians as a souvenir!"
Gu Junfeng is very confident in his skills and the brothers who came out this time.
After Xi Junmai was arranged by Li Kuan to be the chief escort agency, he immediately moved the training of the escort team of the King of Chu Mansion to the Shunfeng escort agency, and also recruited some soldiers who had participated in the war to enter the escort agency.
To be honest, the combat effectiveness of the escorts of Shunfeng Escort Agency is much stronger than that of the regular army of most countries in this era.
With the advantages in equipment, Gu Junfeng is really not afraid of anyone who dares to attack the fleet.
"Okay! Just be sure to have confidence! You should rest early tonight. Anthello probably sent someone to burn our shop, and then check our reaction tomorrow before you can take the next move."
"It's okay! Several of us brothers take turns vigiling to avoid accidents!"
...
"Master, the street where Gandi Sugar Shop was located caught fire last night. Dozens of shops were burned one after another, and the fire was extinguished!"
As soon as Mital got up, Bangill came over to report bad news.
"It's on fire? There has been no such fire in Kanchipuran City for several years, right? Why did the Gandy Sugar Shop just opened yesterday and caught fire at night?"
Mital was not stupid either, obviously knowing that this fire was not that simple.
"I heard from the people from the City Lord's Mansion that some residues of rosin were found on the streets nearby that were on fire, and they led directly to the Gandi Sugar Shop. Obviously, someone deliberately set a torch to burn the Gandi Sugar Shop, but because the rescue was not in time, the nearby shops were also burned.
Master, this matter is done by people from the Ansello family. They have opinions on our cooperation with Gandy! How should we deal with it? Should we wait and see how Gandy fights Ansello? At that time, Gandy can't fight with them and ask them for what they want, and they may not be sure that we can still suppress the price of sugar."
Bangeer was not worried that Anthello would deal with his master, because in Kanchipuram, the Mital family was the most powerful. As long as Anthello was not stupid, he would not provoke Mital.
"It's not a good thing to wait and see, but I'm worried that Gandy is too weak. If she dies at Ansello casually, then our losses will be great."
Naturally, Mital would not really regard Gandy as his good partner.
However, according to the current situation, cooperating with Gandy can increase his family's career by several levels, so Mital still doesn't want to see Gandy die at the hands of Ansello.
"It's also simple. We can arrange a team of people to protect Gandy, so that we can not only gain his favor, but also prevent the situation from falling into an irreversible situation. At that time, as long as Gandy realizes his safety in Kanchipuram City, we have to rely on us to protect it, and everything will naturally be discussed."
As servants of the Mittal family for generations, they naturally consider Mittal's interests first when doing anything.
"Then let's take a look!"
Mittal thought about it and felt that Bangier's attention was pretty good.
Anyway, no matter what the result is, the initiative is in the hands of hismitar.
Even if Gandy unfortunately lost his life, he could find a way to contact other Tang people and ask the other party to transport sugar to Kanchipuram for sale.
...
"Sayed, this situation is getting more and more complicated!"
Kanchipuram City said it was big or small.
After such a fire broke out, everyone knew about it the next day.
The big food merchant Jaboldo also heard about the news while having breakfast.
"Master, although dozens of shops were burned this time, I don't think the fire was an accident. It is very likely that the other shops were all affected by the Gandy Sugar Shop."
"You mean the fire is because someone set fire to the Gandy Sugar Shop?"
"That's right! Although the official has not yet concluded, this is the most likely situation."
Said was Jaboldo's servant and his counselor.
In fact, most of the most trusted servants around the merchants assume the role of this strategist.
"The emergence of sugar has a fatal impact on the frosting industry in Kanchipuram! Unless they can also produce sugar, under the impact of cheap sugar, all sugar-making workshops will go bankrupt in less than a year. Those farmers who have planted sugar cane will lose all their money.
In two or three years, it is estimated that no one will grow sugarcane in Kanchipuram City, and there will be no sugar-making workshops. If the sugar-making technology of the Indians has not improved, in five or six years, the sugar-making industry will have nothing to do with the Indians!”
Jabildo has a good vision and can clearly see the impact of sugar on the Indians.
"So some people started to take risks! Today is the Gandy sugar shop that was burned, and tomorrow may be the inn where Gandy lives is on fire, or Gandy's fleet is on fire! As long as that Gandy remains in Kanchipuram, all kinds of movements will not stop.
To be continued...
