Jiang Feng had no intention of sleeping anymore, even though the night was still very long.
The conditions put forward by Ni Dabao were undoubtedly intended to bring the Qianshan Sect within the control of the Lingcong Chamber of Commerce. This kind of control would not start with the monks, but focus on commerce and trade.
The business of fifty third-level coins every year is indeed very attractive, and can even be said to be a "very crazy" number. Generally speaking, these businesses are enough to mobilize the circulation of materials with at least three times the value. If so, the Asayama Sect will not only
It can initially get rid of the current poor and weak situation, and it can compete with the weaker Lingyun Mountain, which was defeated among the seven eastern alliances. Of course, in terms of foundation and accumulation, it is still far away, but at least it is possible to catch up.
Joining the business network built by the Lingcong Chamber of Commerce will help improve the economy and style of secular society, and will also help the monks obtain more resources for cultivation and improve their cultivation. These are all beneficial aspects.
However, the future development space of Sanjun and Luochuan has been advanced to the Lingcong Chamber of Commerce in advance. The price of the land alone is worth at least thirty third-level coins, but no one has such an appetite.
As for the number of monks stationed in a shop, once they are not restricted by the cultivation conditions of the patriarchal system and are in a sect that is not their own, and exceed the monks with the highest cultivation level in the other sect, there can be no more than one person stationed for a long time.
As the number of people in this level cannot exceed ten, any shop of the Ling Cong Chamber of Commerce may become a stronghold for the Ling Cage Chamber of Commerce to suddenly burst out and attack the core power of the Qianshan Sect due to a disagreement.
Just like a small snake whose seven inches are in the hands of others, if these conditions are fully accepted, the Qianshan Sect will basically become the territory under the actual control of the other party, and the head of the Sect and the elders will be turned away and become the mainstay of others.
Under the wings, a group of chicks are struggling to survive.
The matter of the right of first refusal is very delicate. There is a hidden trap here, that is, all items produced within the country have the same right to purchase. So, ordinary daily needs, such as the most basic ingredients needed for survival, are naturally included in this.
However, once such materials are controlled by the other party and the price is disrupted, the ordinary life of the Asanshan Sect can be disrupted in an instant, and even cause widespread turmoil.
There are advantages and disadvantages. The bait is very fragrant and tempting, but the hook is also quite sharp and can be fatal.
We must carefully evaluate the gains and losses in this, not only to leave a safe bottom line for ourselves and the Qianshan Sect, but also to rely on the power of the Lingcong Chamber of Commerce to develop the Qianshan Sect as soon as possible. The other party's purpose is obvious, relying on the Qianshan Sect to develop towards the Seven
As the alliance advances, a small Asanshan Sect is not enough to satisfy the other party's appetite. Eating the bait becomes the cornerstone of its development. This is the other party's purpose. It does not seriously conflict with its own interests, but only in terms of the degree of control.
, the two sides currently have serious differences and still need to sit together and bargain.
It is not enough to sit still and wait for death. You have signed the contract of the Seven Alliances. Even if you are not harmed by the poisonous snake of the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce, there are still coveting wolves around you waiting for you.
Thoughts were flying and his heart was turbulent. Jiang Feng found that he couldn't sleep at all, so he simply went out. The night was sultry and the night breeze was slightly chilly.
Unknowingly, we came to Fengyu Tower, the sect's meeting hall originated from the third generation leader Lin Baicheng. Although it is not high, it can have a bird's eye view of Luochuan at night.
"Quan Zhong, are you there?" Unexpectedly, there was a figure in the dark upstairs, and it was Wu Quanzhong, the elder of foreign affairs.
"I just came back from Dayi, and there was a lot of noise at home. I couldn't sleep, so I ran here to hide and be quiet." Wu Quanzhong curled his lips and sighed several times.
"Family affairs are difficult to resolve?"
"It's all caused by martial arts. The four children participating in the competition. Originally, I had allocated magic weapons and talismans, one for each of them. However, several aunts felt that it was unfair and started a quarrel. It's all about the grandchildren. Why do you want to make a fuss? Ah, it’s really annoying.”
"Who told you to be in good health? You see Xiandao has never had this trouble." Among the several elders, only Wang Xiandao has only one wife. The rest are working hard to spread their branches. Of course, Wu Quanzhong doesn't It's the most.
"Hey, Sect Leader, it's time for you to think about your heir's affairs. Zheng family girl, is there any news?" He didn't mention Ding Lingyun's matter. It seemed that he already knew about her running away halfway.
"Well," Jiang Feng blushed and quickly missed the topic, "if we don't talk about this, have we made arrangements for the north?"
"Look, Sect Leader, your business is the big one. You don't have to worry about it in the north. I just heard that you brought Shen Junmao back from the hell gate and sent him to guard it. Now the matters about the training ground are about to come. It's settled." When talking about this, Wu Quanzhong was quite high-spirited, as if the opportunity to improve his cultivation level was tomorrow.
"When he sets off, I will prepare fifty second-level coins for him, try to get this matter done as soon as possible, and also take care of the affairs of Dayi County and Guhan Town." When talking about Shen Junmao's matter, Jiang Feng remembered .Wu Quanzhong is also possessed by the spirit of the black snake, but the spirit of the black snake that has awakened on his arm at this time has no reaction to it. From this point of view, it is speculated that his black snake has been strengthened by the mysterious scales. The spirit can only absorb the residual thoughts of the black snake from the dying person, and has no effect on such monks who are still in their prime.
It’s not too bad.
Thinking about it, I sacrificed a good opportunity to improve myself, exchanged the life of a Xuan-level monk, and solved the problem in the north, it was still worth it.
…………
The sun rises in the east, the gongs and drums beat loudly, Dongyang Square is crowded with people, a newly built 40-foot-square arena is draped in red and colorful, and dozens of flags are fluttering in the wind, sounding loudly, the first elite of the Qianshan Sect The disciples will compete in martial arts, and today is the day to draw lots to determine the number of matches and the preliminary rounds.
In the corner of the arena, there are twenty-nine applicants standing neatly. The oldest is thirty years old and the youngest is ten years old. Their cultivation level is between the second level of the spirit level and the ninth level of the spirit level. Most of their eyes are firm and powerful. There are also a few who are shining with a faint light, like a young bird that has not yet learned to fly, nervously looking forward to its first test flight.
Woo
Woo
Woo
The horns blew out the long and ancient command, and the noisy spectators suddenly became quiet and solemn. Only the refreshing cold wind remained, the expectant eyes remained, and the sound of the heartbeat remained, like a quietly flowing river, waiting, Looking forward to the next opportunity to break through the rock and leap like a silver dragon.
call!
Jiang Feng let out a sigh of relief, feeling high-spirited. There was an unprecedented restlessness in his body, which made him feel refreshed. This is what the Qianshan Sect should have. As the leader, he expects and likes it. This feeling.
Standing on the observation deck, a spontaneous shout rang out in his heart.
We need to become stronger!
…………
Zheng Yiyu stood in the front row of applicants. He did not wear the logo of the Sixth Division today, fearing that it would attract the attention of his opponents and disrupt the fairness of the competition because of his status as a "deacon". Members of the Sixth Division need to wear specific logos.
This idea was proposed by him, and the design was completed by his cousin Zheng Keyue. Of course, her fans also helped a lot. Thinking of this, he looked back at Wang Yanzhi and Wu Tiande behind him.
One on the left and one on the right, next to Zheng Keyue, they are secretly showing courtesy, Wang Yanzhi is dull, Wu Tiande is restless, and his sister doesn’t know who he likes, so he just keeps his appetite, thinking that after the martial arts training, it is time to talk to his sister,
This won't work.
"Xiao Yiyu, it's your turn. Draw a good lottery. The best opponent is a girl. I'll help you matchmaker then." The person who spoke was Wu Xianghua, the deacon of the Ceremony Department. In this kind of competition, she cannot be missing for help before and after.
For Madam Xianghua's sake, he didn't dare to respond directly to the other party's joke, so he could only step up the steps seriously and take out a number from the red lacquered wooden box.
It's the black number ten.
In the wooden box, there are fourteen black balls and fourteen yellow balls, with numbers from one to fourteen written on them respectively, corresponding to the fourteen games, while the remaining white ball corresponds to the byes.
"Next!"
Wu Xianghua was Wang Yi. He patted Zheng Yiyu and whispered, "Come on." He turned his back and felt a little bitter in his heart. Although his cultivation level had improved, he did not sign up. He still knew how much he weighed.
, Moreover, now that he has the position of deacon, he would like to work for the development of the sect like Jiang Hai. At least, he can handle everything assigned by the leader who has helped him. Besides, he also likes this.
I have a feeling that fighting and other matters should be left to those geniuses. I will silently support you behind the scenes. He shook his head, tossed the broken hair on his forehead into three or seven parts again, and then secretly glanced at the only person in the crowd.
Zhao Liangdi has short hair and a dashing appearance.
I like this, he thought.
"Are you going to play with this?" Wang Yi looked at a child carrying a black wooden stick for making fire and was about to draw lots. He was worried about him, so he stopped him gently.
"Big brother, can't you?"
"Okay, okay, this doesn't count the computer. Don't you have any magic weapon with you when you participate in the competition?"
"Yes." The child took out an old dagger from his arms, without any intention of hiding it, "Look!"
Wang Yi quickly turned sideways to block him, thinking to himself, just say yes. He has no experience in the world of martial arts. The lottery has already been going on for more than half of the time. He is all staring at who his opponent is. Now that someone has seen your trump card in advance, you will get a big advantage.
Losing money.
"What's your name?" This child really didn't have any character. Wang Yi thought of himself when he was a child.
"My name is Nie Xiaofan, from Caomiao Town. Where are you, big brother?"
"Oh, oh, my name is Wang Yi, you can just call me Brother Yi." Wang Yi doesn't know where he is from. He only knows that he was not born in Luochuan, and he has not asked his mother whether she is.
Asayama clan members, this is not suitable.
"Go, go quickly!"
"Hey!" The child's voice was clear and clear, without leaving a trace of dust.
"I am" Nie Xiaofan pinched the number in his hand. There was a big word "empty" written on the white ball.
"You have a bye, and you have no opponent in the first round." Wang Yi took it over, looked at it, and explained.
"Then, what should we do?" Nie Xiaofan was so aggrieved that his eyes were red and he was about to cry, "How can I get the bonus if there is no opponent? I still owe the store a spiritual stone for accommodation."
"What should I do if I have a bye, Aunt Xianghua?" Wang Yi blurted out unlike Zheng Yiyu.
"A bye counts as a victory." Wu Xianghua glared at Wang Yi fiercely, "Kid, just wait. If you want me to match you in the future, I must give you twice as much spiritual stone as Aunt Xianghua." She took "Aunt Xianghua's"
The title was emphasized heavily.
"Hey, actually I'm not in a hurry. What I like is you, Mrs. Xianghua."
"Damn it! Don't be a bad kid!" Wu Xianghua glanced at him again, knelt down and said to Nie Xiaofan, "It's good luck to have a bye. The rule is that it can be directly counted as victory. Go get the rewarded spirit stone. Let you
My brother will take you there, but you have to watch him and don’t let him take you away.”
"Ah?" Nie Xiaofan looked up at Wang Yi and took a step back involuntarily. He suddenly remembered that he hadn't gotten the spirit stone yet, "Brother Yi, are you that kind of person?"
…………
The results of the draw were written on a yellow silk list more than one foot wide. There were twenty-nine people, fourteen games, one person had a bye, and the onlookers were all pointing, especially since the recent reputation has been good and the work has been done vigorously and resolutely.
Zheng Yiyu, Zheng Keyue who is loved by everyone and has a budding baby, and Wu Tiankui, who loves to talk dirty and often hangs out in the market, are the focus of everyone's attention and discussion. Of course, Nie Xiaofan, who has a bye, is also attracting attention.
"This kid is so lucky!"
"Yeah, it's nice to just sit and get paid!"
"Whose family is it?"
"I heard that I came from Caomiao Town. I heard that bad guys visited there in the past and killed many people!"
"Hey, that's scary. Look, that kid is handsome. He looks just like my little son!"
"Bah, you'd better give birth to a few more. Then you might be able to produce monks, and you can make money by doing whatever you want."
"That bastard in my family is so incompetent. He says he's busy in Sixth Division every day. I think he might have gone to some vixen's house. It's not like your family. He comes back so early every day. Let me just say, the incense given to you by the fourth aunt
It’s useful, I’ll get some next time.”
Many onlookers made comments, starting from the seven aunts and eight aunts of each monk, and the topic got further and further. Some people secretly bet on who would enter the top eight, or even be the favorite to win the championship. In some shops in Luochuan,
There are also stalls for betting on the top eight. It is said that the most promising one to win the championship is Wei Chengyu, a young genius from the Wei family. His cultivation has reached the eighth level of the spiritual level, he has a fighting magic form, and his magic weapon is of extraordinary quality. Before the competition, he also received special training from Wei Ruoguang.
, the latter is at the ninth level of the Xuan level and is currently the top master of the Qianshan Sect.
…………
"Give it all!"
"Give it all!"
A disharmonious hoarse voice suddenly jumped onto the ring, but it was Yue Xishan, who was dressed in gray robes and looked a little dark and thin. He threw out a large number of flyers that seemed to have been written long ago, causing the spectators below to scramble. It was just the onlookers.
Many of them are illiterate. When they pick them up, they don't know what is written on them. They can only read them among each other and whisper among themselves, looking for someone who can read.
"Listen to me, Jiang Feng has no virtue and incompetence. I object to him continuing to be the head of the Qianshan Sect!"
