Several of the men who had arrived with him agreed with “Old Three” and cursed at Lao Bie Tou, who turned red and then green in embarrassment, but he tried to placate them, saying, ”We are just asking. Of course, we will wait, we will wait until evening if we must.”

After a few more curses, the discussion quietened down, but the debate still carried on in other parts of the queue.

The young waiter quietly circled back to the shop and said to Wan Tong, “Boss, we are in trouble!”

“Calm down, have some water, and then tell me,” Wan Tong handed him a glass of water.

The waiter drank the water quickly and then wiped his mouth, saying, “The Righteous Business Group is doing something underhanded. They are letting people get a complete set of their agricultural tools for just thirty gold coins, and customers only need to make the payment every four months for three years. Everyone in the queue is trying to buy these tools!

Upon hearing the waiter’s words, Wan Tong started trembling in shock.

Looking across at the Righteous Business Group, he thought, “I have to report this to the young master immediately!”

As a seasoned shopkeeper, Wan Tong immediately understood the appeal of this deal to the poor. It was akin to turning the Righteous Business Group into a moneylender, lending money to these people to buy farming tools first. Being able to take home a set of tools for just thirty gold coins and registering your name and corresponding property, it was like a windfall. Who wouldn’t want to take advantage of it?

Fortunately, there was still room for a turn of events; he could also sell his family’s farming tools in the same way as the Righteous Business Group. As his own tools were of superior quality, he was confident of strong sales. Although being in charge of the store, he didn’t dare take a step without the young master’s approval as he knew it would require a large inventory of farming tools and a huge cash injection by his master, but he was hopeful for his support.

However, the seasoned shopkeeper did not know that Tang Luo had unleashed a beast in Xiling, which had grown into a formidable, unstoppable monster.

Greed is the strongest human desire, and this type of sales method entices the customer with an appealing benefit that appears to be within reach. And all they need to do is bring along other people to benefit as well.

A acre of farmland sells no more than a thousand pounds of grain in a year, yielding no more than a hundred gold. Now you just need to bring three people to the Righteous Business Group, and you would earn ninety gold, equivalent to a year’s income from the acre of land.

The reason why the shops of the Righteous Business Group are crowded from day till night is that half of the free citizens of Xiling who have already received the tools have become salesmen for the Righteous Business Group.

They relentlessly persuade their poor relatives who haven’t yet reclaimed wasteland to borrow thirty gold to buy the tools. Understanding the scheme of the Righteous Business Group, they know that as soon as someone gets the tools, they will understand this way of making money, and then they will become their competitors.

People’s social networks are often intertwined, such as neighbours, relatives, and friends. Some who are clever would bring everyone they knew at once to make their purchases. This is the real reason behind the crowded Righteous Business Group. Even if other shops adopted the same instalment plan, they couldn’t draw customers away from the Righteous Business Group.

Those self-employed citizens who have become salesmen of the Righteous Business Group will never let their thirty gold flow elsewhere. Therefore, they will strongly advocate that the tools of the Righteous Business Group are of higher quality and can be exchanged for new products.

With over twenty shops, selling a thousand sets of tools a day, they had covered ninety percent of the whole farming market in Xiling within less than a month.

By the time other tool manufacturers had just placed large orders with the forge department, they didn’t realize that the ordinary people of Xiling had already got the tools.

It was not until then that over ten shopkeepers realized that in a short month, the Righteous Business Group had sold a whopping six hundred thousand sets of farming tools. Now all the common people in Xiling were using tools from the Righteous Business Group.

This was the first time in history that the shopkeepers of Xiling had lost so completely. And what made them even more exasperated was that the Righteous Business Group not only ate the meat but didn’t even leave a bit of soup for them.

“Go get him!”

No one knew who took the lead, but all the shopkeepers of the agricultural tool shops in Xiling City decided to hold a banquet at the Tianxiang Building to invite the head manager of the Righteous Business Group.

Tang Clan Dining Hall

Tang Luo, who was in closed-door training, received a message that his father, Tang Sen, who had been away on a mission for nearly four months, was back home. His mother, Xu Shuhui, asked him to come home for dinner.

Since Xu Laoying left Xiling and Tang Luo entered closed-door training, the Tang Mansion had become increasingly desolate. Only Xu Shuhui and Tang Nuannuan were left, relying on each other for survival. Even though they were from one of the wealthiest families in Xiling, there was an unbearable sense of loneliness within their home.

With Tang Sen’s return, there was warmth in the Tang Mansion once again. At the dining table, little Nuannuan imitated Tang Sen’s eating style, gobbling her food down, and Tang Luo too, ate heartily. Without using his void stomach, he was surprisingly able to eat as much as his father Tang Sen, causing the chefs to scurry to and fro in serving the dishes.

After finishing sixty servings of spiritual food, Tang Luo put down his bowl, touched his slightly swollen belly, and leaned back onto his chair, feeling satisfied.

Upon seeing that her eldest son had eaten his fill, Xu Shuhui confronted the First Head of the Martial Hall without hesitation, “How could you not even find time to greet him before you left? I thought you would be gone for a few months at most, but you were gone for so long?”

Xu Laoying’s departure was but an excuse; a woman’s accusation stems from loneliness. Tang Sen, though not eloquent, was highly sensitive to such things. The guilt from leaving his wife alone for several months gripped him. Holding his wife’s hand, he said apologetically, “I’ve been gone too long. It won’t happen again.”

“Hmph, mind your manners in front of the children.” Xu Shuhui blushed as she pulled her hand away, then curiously asked, “What was that mission? It took so long.”

In her memory, no matter how difficult the mission, her husband had completed it easily, but this one took four months. Even though he returned unharmed, she felt that there must have been some risk involved.

Just as Tang Sen was about to tell her everything, he hesitated. He knew his wife was a kind-hearted woman, and revealing the details of his mission might make her disappointed in him. For the first time in his life, the fearless warrior panicked. But he remembered that he had promised to never hide anything from her. Despite fearing her disappointment, he couldn’t avoid answering.

He struggled with the question for a long while before finally meekly asking, “My dear, do we…. do we need to discuss it?
