Jiang Chengzi, who had more experience outside, immediately made a decision, "Let's go quickly!"
Following his order, the two of them quickly ran north without raising their heads. Fortunately, they were not far from the southernmost Qianshan sect boundary monument. After burning incense, the two of them had stopped near a black stone boundary monument.
Jiang Chengzi recognized that although the boundary monument matched the ground very well, as if it had always been here, Jiang Chengzi still judged that this boundary monument was the same one he and his master had secretly made on a rainy night through some hidden features on the nearby trees.
One that has been moved.
The auras of those monks came one after another. When they got closer, Jiang Chengzi had already recognized the robes of the other monks. They were monks from the Jincheng Sect!
There were five people in total, one of whom had a slightly higher cultivation level, Jiang Chengzi deduced that he should be at the Xuan level, and the rest, like himself and his junior brother, were all Spirit level monks.
"Fellow Daoist!" Jiang Chengzi greeted the other party across the boundary monument, "I don't know why you are here?"
"Jincheng Sect Liu Xiaosu!" The monk who led the team was not disrespectful. "I will come over to accept the Blackwater Sect's property and inform your family leader that from now on, south of this boundary monument is the territory of our Jincheng Sect."
"..."
Jiang Chengzi didn't know what to answer for a moment. This matter seemed to have nothing to do with the Qianshan Sect, but it was inseparable. After all, the neighbors had changed. He had heard some stories from his master about the Black Water Sect. Since the death of the former head Qiu Baisi
, Heishuimen has always been controlled by a Xuan-level monk, and is still considered a vassal of the Great Wei State. Now, has the Jincheng Sect openly annexed Heishuimen, regardless of the protection of the Great Wei State?
Master must be informed of this matter as soon as possible. Seeing that the visitor had retreated, Jiang Chengzi quickly grabbed his junior brother and hurried to Zhanchuan Town.
…………
Because he had obtained the book of instant demon refining, Jiang Feng was eager to try its final effect, so he came alone to the "Crimson Blood Ant" breeding farm in the southwest of Luochuan.
The scarlet blood ant cannot be considered a real first-order monster, but it is the easiest quasi-monster to get at hand. Jiang Feng plans to use this thing to test the effect of quick demon refining.
Blood ant breeding is one of the cooperation projects reached in early contact with the Lingcong Chamber of Commerce. Because of the huge profits, it has attracted the attention and even competition of the major families in the sect. However, after the construction of the three counties, due to the existence of more
opportunity, so the attention here has gradually cooled down. Fortunately, the cooperation is still continuing. After a period of exploration, this breeding farm no longer requires so many monks to maintain. Now, the breeding farm is managed by three resident spiritual monks.
Wang Chengzhi, Zheng Yiming and Wu Xiangli are in charge. Spirit-level monks who usually have free time often come here to help the three of them cook, and are registered in the register. When the income is settled every quarter, the spiritual stones that each monk deserves will be calculated.
,This model has been recognized by everyone.
Jiang Feng inquired about some of the operating conditions of the breeding farm, and also paid attention to the progress of the three people's cultivation. Although as resident monks, the three people's income was pretty good, but it has to be said that due to the busy work and lack of skills, their cultivation was still neglected.
There are a lot of them. Except for Zheng Yiming's "Drunken Branch Soul-Nursing Flower" Dharma Appearance, the other two Dharma Appearances are ordinary. Zheng Yiming, who has the highest level of cultivation now, has reached the sixth level of the spirit level, and the other two are both spiritual.
Level four.
"If possible, we should still hire mortals to do some of the work. Cultivation cannot be neglected for a day."
"Yes, I follow the leader's teachings, but these scarlet blood ants are still a little more dangerous to mortals." Wang Chengzhi was the most talkative among the three, so he answered everything.
"You can go to the weapon refining workshop to find Shui Yunqi, explain your needs clearly, and see if you can make some quasi-magical weapons that can be used by mortals to help them. Maybe it can help them manage the blood ants and protect themselves.
"
"Yes!" Wang Chengzhi's eyes lit up. He would be lying if he said he didn't want to practice. As a peer, Wang Yanzhi's treatment in the family was not invisible to him. Although he thought that the Dharma was too different, it was just a vulgar "flying carnation"
The unbearable planting method and the awakening skills are only auxiliary skills that can make the body more flexible, but who doesn’t want to go further on the road of greatness? Even if you can only reach the Xuan level in the future, you can still increase your skills in countless ways.
Isn't it Shao Shou Yuan? Computer version::/
If it is true as the leader said, Shuiyun Banner can help, freeing the three of him from the heavy work, and with the support of the blood ant breeding farm's spirit stones, he thinks that within three years, he will be able to attack
Reaching the sixth level of the spiritual level is not a big problem. Among the three of them, Zheng Yiming, who has a slight talent for cultivation, will definitely help him.
"Sell me nine of the vermilion blood ants at the price sold to the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce." Before his thoughts could come to fruition, he heard Jiang Feng suddenly mention such an inexplicable thing.
"How can this be done? If you need it, Master, just take it and I'll catch it for you right away."
"No, it's business. The blood ant breeding farm cannot be without rules. It's not just me. No one can touch the sect's property. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand, thank you for your support, Master." Having said that, if the Master really took it for free, Wang Chengzhi really didn't know how to keep accounts. When he heard that the Master was willing to pay, he quickly took the spirit beast bag and jumped in with ease.
He jumped into the animal pen, caught nine plump blood ants with all his might, and carefully quoted the price of ninety first-level spiritual stones.
"Yes, the sect will soon launch a door-to-door tribute system. You should work harder." Jiang Feng gave him a second-level coin, indicating that he didn't need to give change, and encouraged him.
"yes!"
The three of them answered in unison and respectfully sent the leader off. After Jiang Feng's figure disappeared, the three of them gathered together. Wu Xiangli, who had been a bit sarcastic, spoke first, "Hey, the leader just mentioned the tribute system. I know something about it."
."
"Speak quickly!"
The other two people became interested and quickly urged her to tell her. Wu Xiangli was the youngest sister of Wu Xianghua, the deacon of the Department of Ceremonies. She was always very well-informed. Although she was usually taciturn, she was secretly the backbone of the three of them.
…………
Zheng Luda, the elder of the general affairs department, arrived in the afternoon.
"Master, I have seen the clan tribute system, and I, Old Zheng, was the first to raise his hands in approval." Zheng Luda entered the master's palace in a hurry and was the first to express his stance.
"Any suggestions for improvement?"
"No, no, let's try it out for a period of time, and the inappropriate places will naturally be exposed. That's what our Qianshan Sect is good at. It's easy to turn the boat around. As long as you give an order, the leader, it will be changed, right?"
"If you want the decree to be smooth, you should change it less, so that everyone can be familiar with the rules." Jiang Feng naturally knew that Zheng Luda wanted to highlight his authority, so he made such a statement, and it was not like he could say these words.
It was a suggestion from his staff, but that was not important. He summoned Zheng Luda, but he actually wanted to ask two other questions.
"How is the Pujiang Medical Clinic? I think Zheng Lufan is doing well."
"Basically, they have achieved independent profits and losses, and can still make a small profit. Every month, they will report through letters from home. However, if they want to collect useful information, Zheng Lufan and a few people may not be enough. After all, they are mortals.
.”
"We can open two more medical clinics, in Wenqu Town and Langgu Town, so that we can at least have some layout in the central and western parts of Chixiamen. As for manpower, since it is for ordinary medical clinics, it should be mainly for ordinary people.
Let’s cast the net first and then talk about it, so as not to attract unnecessary attention.”
"Yes, I will handle it, but it may not be profitable in these two places."
"It doesn't matter, just report the expenses to Da Ku. You and Quanzhong can discuss it. It can be regarded as a special kind of villa. The expenses will come from his funds. Chixiamen is not friendly to us and wants to establish a formal villa.
, is unrealistic." As for the level of information, Jiang Feng feels that if you cast a wide net, you can still make occasional gains, and the key lies in employing people. Zheng Lufan is very sensitive about this. He can get a lot of pills from a mortal.
On his body, clues to Yuanqiao Town were found.
"Okay, okay. By the way, Master, there is news from Dongbo City." Zheng Luda took out ten mundane items of different shapes from the storage bag, ranging from shabby robes to household vases, and the types were mixed.
"These are props of some value, like those used by monks. The pawn shop's business has been slow, so it is quite difficult to sort out these ten items."
"It's not bad to have such achievements in a foreign land." Jiang Feng took these items in his hands, looked at them carefully, and put them into his storage bag. Although he was one of his own, he would not divine in front of Zheng Luda, "Your Zheng Keyue
, went there?”
"Hi," Zheng Luda sighed, "I don't know why, this girl was originally very arrogant, and I don't know why she changed her gender. I asked her, but she didn't want to tell me, she just said she wanted to relax.
, after some experience, I asked her to go to Dongbo City, hoping to help both her and the pawn shop. After all, as a monk, she can see more clearly than ordinary people whether things have been used by monks."
"That's fine, but remember to come back often, and let her participate more in the tribute tasks within the sect. If you stay here for a long time, I don't want a flower to be picked by a boy from outside the sect."
Haha, they both laughed at the same time, and Zheng Luda even said yes again and again. He knew the rules set by Jiang Feng, but Zheng Keyue didn't seem to like anyone yet, at least he didn't notice it with his eyesight. Originally, he thought he liked it.
Wang Yanzhi, but it seems not to be the case now, otherwise she would not agree to go to Dongbo City. Forget it, a rough man like him can't guess the girl's character.
By the way, when the leader asked about this, he was attracted to Ke Yue, right?
He couldn't help but thought to himself, didn't he send Zheng Keyi away? What is going on with the leader? Does he like sisters? No, his guess must be wrong. Doesn't the leader have a wife? Although he doesn't know where she is hiding.
Also, I heard that Ding Lingyu from the Ding family was also transferred back to Luochuan to help manage the sect's treasury. Is this a signal?
"Ruda, there is one more thing. You can take care of it and finalize it before the end of the year." Jiang Feng discussed the matter of the sect's robes with Zheng Luda, and set a price limit for two second-order robes, and asked him and Wu
Xianghua and others went to handle it. As for why he brought Wu Xianghua, although he was not worried about Zheng Luda's bargaining power, he still had some concerns about his aesthetics. Bringing Wu Xianghua might be able to avoid this problem.
"Cultivators in the sect who are at the third level of spiritual level or above, three pieces for each person, and one piece for each of the others."
"Yes, I will definitely take care of this matter."
Zheng Luda, who has seen the standard robes of many sects around him, has long been envious of this matter. However, the income within the sect has always been poor, and it has been inconvenient to mention this matter. In the sixth generation, the Qianshan Sect once had standard robes, and later it was
As time went by, the spirit stones were not updated, so the unified robes were no longer available. However, he did have an old robe that was 80% new at home, which could be used as a reference sample for customization.
"Would this be too wasteful?" Zheng Luda couldn't help but worry. He had just made a rough calculation in his mind. As the leader said, the total cost was not low. The last time there was an incident in Donghu County, the income paid in advance was used. Now
This fee has not yet been settled. He has already read the rough report submitted by the sect's treasury for the first time. It is not abundant. In addition, the clan leader is about to launch the tribute system. Can this treasury...can bear it?
"No need to worry, the situation in the three counties is much better than you think."
Jiang Feng now has more money than when he bought robes before. However, this is an endorsement of the sect's treasury. However, he has previously negotiated a cooperation with the Yufeng Sect, and coupled with Shen Junmao's report in Dayi County, he believes that this time
These two matters can be solved without having to pay for it himself. Of course, in order to avoid risks, he asked Zheng Lu to resolve the matter before the end of the year's Immortality Conference. Otherwise, in a short period of time, the pressure on Daku would still be considerable.
.
"This is the new agreement reached with the Yufeng Sect." Jiang Feng handed the agreement reached with the Yufeng Sect's leader Mu Qianxue to Zheng Luda for review, and the other party's expression immediately became solemn.
"this……"
"Generally speaking, it's a good thing. You need to cooperate with Shen Junmao and Zhou Xing as soon as possible to count the chambers of commerce under our control so that we can coordinate well. As for the supervision work, I will let Xiandao do it."
"Okay, I'll take people to Dayi County right now!"
Zheng Luda realized that what the leader mentioned today was the most important thing. He had already heard a little bit about the rebellion in the Northern Wind Yuzong. The territory and strength of the new Yufeng Sect still far exceeded that of the Qianshan Sect. If the alliance was signed,
As mentioned in the article, a large number of items are changed hands through the Qianshan Sect, and the tax revenue will probably reach a large amount. This will greatly increase the Qianshan Sect's quarterly spiritual stone income, although most of it will be returned at the end of the year.
To the Yufeng Sect, but the end of the year also coincides with the revenue handed over by each county. The two are partially offset, and the repayment pressure will be much smaller.
After sending away Zheng Luda, who had a heavy face and was full of mundane affairs, Jiang Feng rested for a while and was about to send his servant Zhang Yang to find the law enforcement elder Wang Xiandao. Wei Ruoguang, the elder of the law enforcement, arrived without asking.
"Ruoguang, what's the matter?" Jiang Feng had just gone to the training dojo the day before and had just met him. Wei Ruoguang came again for some unknown reason.
"Master, do you know about the monk Fuhaimen's arrival?"
"Wu Xianghua mentioned something before." If a monk comes to visit Wei Jie, as long as he doesn't hide it deliberately, someone will see it. Wu Xianghua, who consults various families for opinions on the tribute system, will naturally know about it. As the deacon of the Ceremony Department,
She is also obliged to ask and report.
Wei Ruoguang told the story of Wei Ruoqi. At present, several monks have arrived in Luochuan, and the rest of their family members have been placed in Longgu Town by Dayi County Governor Shen Junmao, waiting for the leader's instructions. Unlike the refugees, these people are considered to be the Wei family.
relatives, so the treatment methods are different.
"Wei Ruoqi can stay in Luochuan for now. The monks can also live in Luochuan temporarily. It's up to you to decide the secular life. Except for the third town of Fuyuan and Beimu County, it can be done anywhere else. As for his position, although he has reached the third level of Xuan level
, but the newcomer to Qianshan Sect still needs some time to get familiar with it. Why not take the lead in taking charge of the Winter Climbing Conference?
I can get to know everyone quickly.”
"Thank you, Master!"
Although Wei Ruoqi is a Xuan-level monk, and there are not many Xuan-level monks in the Qianshan Sect, his cultivation level is still a bit low if he wants to be hired as a guest minister. It is impossible to grant the position of elder to a new person. Moreover, the positions are all full and there are no vacancies.
, Wei Chengyu has just entered the inner sect again. Although he heard that Zhang Pule, the deacon of the Mengjiao Prefect, is in poor health, Wei Ruoqi is not good at this. Therefore, for the time being, it seems that there is no job that can be entrusted to Wei Ruoqi.
Wei Ruoguang was originally worried about this matter, but the job given by the headmaster is not bad. If it can be done well, the selection of monks for immortality is a long-term matter. There may be a new job in the future, at least for some sects.
He had this position. Thinking of this, he quickly thanked the boss on behalf of Wei Ruoqi, chatted for a few more words, and then stood up and left with satisfaction.
Huh! Jiang Feng felt a little tired after talking to the two elders continuously. Zhang Yang, the young man, served the spiritual tea at the right time and waited on him carefully. He was about to praise a few words, but he heard Zhang Yang say:
"Foreign Affairs Elder Wu Quanzhong has been waiting for a long time."
"..."
Jiang Feng quickly swallowed the compliment that came to his lips and said, "Pass it on!" He sighed inwardly. He was so busy with mundane affairs that he really couldn't do anything. If he had known better, he might as well have held a presbytery meeting.
Wu Quanzhong obviously came prepared. He also knew that Jiang Feng had just met Zheng Luda and Wei Ruoguang, and he actually came earlier than Wei Ruoguang. However, after asking about Wei Ruoguang's affairs, he felt that it was more urgent than him, so he let Wei Ruoguang enter the house first, and he
He waited outside until it got slightly dark before he became anxious.
Several ladies-in-law said that today the juniors all have to go back home, and the family dinner cannot be missed, otherwise...
He was determined to retreat and wanted to come back tomorrow, but Zhang Yang, the young man, told him that he had already sent a message. It was good now. It was neither an advance nor a retreat. Forget it, the leader was there to support him, so it was not a big problem.
"Leng Tingtao's subordinate Li Rulin?"
"Yes, I have never met him before. I just came to visit according to the normal foreign affairs etiquette, so I received him. The matter was about Leng Tingfeng's attack in the north of Zhanchuan Town. I asked us to assist in the investigation. This Leng Tingfeng
Tingfeng is Leng Tingtao’s younger brother.”
"Leng Tingfeng is dead?"
"No, he's seriously injured. Judging from the other party's attitude, he should be safe."
"That's good. We just need to cooperate. It's not our fault."
"Of course, I personally guess that they are just to strengthen contact with us for this matter." Wu Quanzhong explained, "I heard Li Rulin accidentally revealed that Leng Tingfeng might marry Su Ya, the fourth daughter of Su Liqing, the leader of the Jincheng Sect.
"
"It should have been disclosed intentionally." Jiang Feng smiled and Wu Quanzhong agreed. Jiang Feng shared the information previously provided by Qiu Zhenzhen with Wu Quanzhong. The two studied for a moment and felt that Leng Tingtao might be dealing with something with Su Liqing, although they couldn't figure it out.
I understand, but fortunately I have nothing to do with the Asayama Sect.
"And one more thing."
Wu Quanzhong took out a design drawing of the Luoyingmen Courtyard. Because Luoyingmen is a human sect, there are certain designs that need to be paid attention to, so he asked his subordinates to design this drawing and presented it to the head Jiang Feng for review.
"The design of the other courtyard?" Jiang Feng looked at it and had to say that he didn't understand it. He is the leader, but he is not an all-rounder. This thing requires professional people. "The scale cannot be small. Tu Shan told me that according to the
The land is allocated for us according to the standards of the medium sect, and there is a small first-level spiritual land in it, so we must make full use of it."
"That's three hundred acres? And there is a spiritual land?" Wu Quanzhong couldn't believe it. How could the leader get such a good condition? The size of the other courtyard is not bad, and there is a first-level spiritual land? Isn't that the resident hospital?
If you are a monk, can you still practice a little or two by the way?
"That's right, let's go and arrange the design. I'll stay for another day tomorrow, and we'll rush to Luoying Gate to implement this matter. However, because we have to pass through Chixia Gate, we have to walk in a low-key manner. You can still say that I have to go
Watch out."
"Okay, okay, okay, then as the leader said, we will set off the next day. I will ask my men to redesign one, and you can take a look at it then."
Wu Quanzhong carefully put away the design drawings and was about to leave when the two of them suddenly felt a strong spiritual pressure coming from the east of Luochuan and heading straight for the head's inner palace.
There is an enemy attack!
The two of them immediately saw the look of surprise in each other's eyes. Jiang Feng immediately picked up a black jade talisman from the desk and instantly activated Luo Chuan's protective formation. The two of them flew out of the house one after another, only to see Luo Chuan.
In the sky above northeastern Sichuan, a violent golden light was cutting through the formation and heading straight for the two of them.
