Volume 1 Changshui County Handyman Chapter 42 I Don't Know Anything
"You know nothing about Confucianism or Taoism?"
As he continued to move forward, Zhou Cheng asked with interest.
“I don’t quite understand!”
Lin Yi came from time travel only half a year ago, and he has only recently come into contact with martial arts and Confucianism.
When it comes to martial arts, Zhou Cheng can be considered a half-leader.
But there is no one to lead Confucianism and Taoism.
Studying on your own is obviously not going to work.
"I don't know much about Confucianism, but I know that the most important thing about Confucianism is literary spirit and Confucian destiny." Zhou Cheng said slowly, "Literary spirit is the righteousness of heaven and earth, and it restrains some evil things."
"When you practice to an advanced level, when you say something, the color of the world changes!"
Zhou Cheng's words were vague, and it looked like there was no point in asking him.
After this demon slaying is over, you can ask Master Zhou.
He has been in the ninth level of Confucianism and Taoism for many years and knows a little more.
…
We continued walking for about a stick of incense and finally walked out of the old forest.
After walking for more than ten miles, we arrived at a small mountain village.
There is a monument in front of the mountain village with the three characters Sanyizhuang written on it.
Subconsciously, Lu Jiuzhang felt that this name was a bit unlucky.
Mainly the word "Yizhuang" is full of ambiguities.
In ancient times, yizhuang was usually a place where the dead were stored.
However, with the word "三" added in front, it seems a little more normal.
After entering the village, the first thing Lu Jiuzhang saw was a relatively magnificent house. On the plaque of the house, there were three characters "Qianji Tower" engraved on it.
Qianji Tower actually exists in such a remote place?
Lu Jiuzhang was a little confused.
Seemingly seeing that Lu Jiuzhang was a little confused, Zhou Cheng said smoothly, "It should be a branch of Qianji Tower in Changshui County set up here. Its main function is to collect spiritual herbs."
"If the villagers picked spiritual herbs or hunted and obtained the skins of some precious animals, they would also be sold here."
After hearing Zhou Cheng's explanation, Lu Jiuzhang suddenly understood.
I didn’t expect Qianjilou’s business to be so big.
And this kind of small business with a small profit is actually worth it.
From this point of view, Qianjilou's annual income should be extremely considerable.
"I'll go to the clan leader first to get a general idea of what's going on. You can disperse and ask the villagers. We'll meet at the entrance of the village in half a quarter of an hour."
Zhou Cheng ordered.
When he said this, Zhou Cheng glanced at Lu Jiuzhang.
Lu Jiuzhang seemed to have not heard anything and kept staring at Qianji Tower.
Seeing this, Zhou Cheng had no choice but to go on his own.
"Brother Lu, let's come together!"
Wang Yunshan came to Lu Jiuzhang's side.
Mainly because Lu Jiuzhang showed off his power just now and shocked Wang Yunshan.
He felt that it would be safer to follow Lu Jiuzhang if he acted alone.
Come out and perform your mission, save your life first!
"Brother Wang, don't worry, there shouldn't be much danger in the village." Lu Jiuzhang deliberately pushed him away.
Wang Yunshan was not a fool. After hearing what Lu Jiuzhang meant, he wisely left.
As for Lu Jiuzhang, he walked into the [Qian Ji Tower].
…
"Sir, what do you want to sell?"
Seeing Lu Jiuzhang walking in, a boy quickly came over.
But the boy noticed the Demon Slayer costume that Lu Jiuzhang was wearing. He quickly changed his face to a smile and retracted his words, "Sir, what's the important matter?"
"Where are your managers? I want to ask something."
Lu Jiuzhang shouted.
There is no need to be polite when dealing with these boys. The more aggressive you are, the more respectful they will be to you.
On the contrary, if you smile, they will not take you seriously.
"The person in charge is settling accounts, I'll call him."
The boy said as he walked into the house.
Lu Jiuzhang stopped him, "I'll look for it myself, you can do your work."
There are a lot of medicinal materials drying in the courtyard, but they are just ordinary medicinal materials and not very precious.
This resulted in a strange smell in the courtyard.
The fur of those animals was clear and clean and was dried on a bamboo pole.
This place doesn't look like a thousand machines building, but more like a place to dry sundries.
Lu Jiuzhang walked in and saw a man with a goatee in the side room, lowering his head and pulling an abacus.
Realizing that someone had come in, the middle-aged man with the goatee raised his head.
"It turns out to be the Master of the Demon Slayer Division!"
The steward stood up quickly and said respectfully.
"Monsters have appeared in Sanyizhuang in recent days. Do you know about it?"
Lu Jiuzhang asked with a straight face.
"That's what happened. Recently, farmers have gone up to the mountains to hunt, and a lot of things have happened to them." The manager said with a charming smile, "Also, in the past few days, all the livestock raised by farmers have been sucked dry.
Blood."
This matter is so strange that even the people in charge can't figure it out.
After so many years, this is the first time I have encountered this situation.
Even if it was a monster eating a human, he had seen it a few times.
But when he broke into the village and sucked the blood of domestic animals, he didn't understand.
Could it be that Wong Tai Sin turned into a demon?
"Well, I know!"
Lu Jiuzhang nodded slightly.
The information the steward learned was not much different from what the Demon Slayer Division had.
But Lu Jiuzhang's main purpose is not this.
"Let me ask you, how do you calculate the accounts for collecting medicinal materials for Qianji Tower?"
Lu Jiuzhang asked.
"Sir, this is the secret of Qianji Tower and has nothing to do with monsters, right?"
The person in charge felt it was outrageous.
Did the medicinal materials collected by Qianji Tower also connect with the monsters?
"Bastard, does it matter if I ask you if it's useful?"
Lu Jiuzhang put on airs and slapped the demon-slaying sword on the table with a bang.
The steward was startled and said quickly, "Sir, as many medicinal materials as we collect here, we will send those medicinal materials to Shopkeeper Chen in Changshui County."
"Fuck me, give me some hard-earned money for every trip!"
"But I swear, I never cheated the farmers. I am also from Sanyizhuang. How could someone from the same village cheat someone from the same village?"
The person in charge is frightened.
He is from Sanyizhuang. He went to Changshui County by chance and saw Qianji Tower.
So, the person in charge got smart, found Shopkeeper Chen, and developed himself into Shopkeeper Chen's confidant on the pretext of providing medicinal materials.
Then, he collected medicinal materials from Sanyi Village and sold them to shopkeeper Chen.
"hehe!"
Lu Jiuzhang sneered and said, "Profits are at the forefront. Even brothers may turn against each other. What does it mean to be from the same village?"
"It seems that you want to test the speed of my sword!"
Lu Jiuzhang made a sound, pulled out the sword of the Demon Slayer Division, and put it on the steward's neck.
"Sir, I say, I say!"
The manager in charge panicked and said, "Sir, as for the medicinal materials, take Cassia Seed as an example, I received them for ten copper coins per pound, and then sold them to shopkeeper Chen for twenty copper coins!"
"I swear, I made a profit of ten copper coins!"
Lu Jiuzhang had seen the medicinal material Cassia Seed in shopkeeper Chen's shop before, selling it for one hundred copper coins per catty. This chapter has been completed!
