"Brother, I forgive Yiming for not understanding your intentions."
Taking advantage of the drunkenness, Chu Yiming asked straightforwardly, even skipping the honorifics he usually used. However, he was not drunk, and he still had some discretion in his words. He thought that Jiang Feng was his.
Friends, although the word "only" is not included, can be regarded as close friends. Jiang Feng visited the Chu family several times. As the head of the Chu family, Chu Yilin should have known about the existence of the other party for a long time, so he should not be here today.
On a late night occasion, Si Guanghao was asked to challenge Jiang Feng and slap him in the face. Fortunately, Jiang Feng was superior in skills and won the fight, which was considered a blessing in disguise. His wonderful performance was very beneficial to him in expanding his network of contacts in Zhenwu City.
"Our Chu family is different from before."
Chu Yilin did not directly answer Chu Yiming's question, but said a digression, "When my father was alive, he was in charge of all the spiritual places of the sect and tried to cling to the people he made friends with. No matter what his status, my father always
Anyone who comes is welcome. However, after my father's death, most of these people dispersed, leaving only the families tonight. What do you think of them?"
"What do you think?"
Chu Yiming was stunned. He had never considered such a problem. He was not the head of the family and had never coveted this position. In his two lives, he had status, obsession, confusion and greed.
He has desires but has never had ambitions, so he has not yet thought of thinking about the future of the Chu family from a higher perspective.
"Yes, tell me what you think. Or frankly speaking, do you think they have much help in the re-emergence of our Chu family?"
"Most of them are." The corners of Chu Yiming's eyes trembled, dispersing the ubiquitous memories of the past, and returned to the affairs at hand. In his mind, he went through each family participating in the dinner tonight, except for a few
Most of the families that have not made a statement have some influence, at least near Zhenwu City, and their presence cannot be underestimated. However, after Chu Anlan's death, most of the affiliated families in Dongji City have dispersed.
It is still difficult to gather them again.
"This is the reason why I found someone to challenge that Jiang Feng. In the eyes of Li Zong, Qianshan Sect is only a small sect. It is not worth mentioning to most of the guests tonight. The reason why they can still maintain a respectful attitude
, it’s for the sake of me and City Lord Ding, but I can’t let them feel that being with your friend is a shameful thing.”
"Although he is only at the Xuan level and is only a small leader, he is still quite capable of fighting?" Chu Yiming understood the truth behind Chu Yi's words.
"That's right, only with equal strength can we truly make friends. Si Guanghao still has a certain weight in the hearts of these people. This competition is a good opportunity for your friend to make a name for himself. He won tonight
, only then will someone really pay attention to him and pay attention to the Qianshan Sect. If you want to help introduce him, you don’t just need to help them hold hands. That will only make people laugh and be looked down upon. What you have to do is to introduce him to others.
He puts it on stage and lets everyone discover his light and heat for themselves!"
"I understand." Chu Yiming immediately understood Chu Yilin's painstaking efforts. Although he was silent, he was somewhat grateful, but he didn't know if Jiang Feng could realize this.
…………
Jiang Feng said goodbye to Chu Yiming the next day, and Si Guanghao, who promised to take on the responsibility of teaching, also went with him as promised. Chu Yiming originally wanted to take the opportunity to explain something, but Jiang Feng waved his hand casually. He had already figured out the joints last night.
, and the result of the victory is self-evident.
The one who came to see him off today was Liu Xiqing, the head of the Liu family. In addition, he also introduced two friends. The former was named Cheng Pingqian, who was the second shopkeeper of the Cheng family firm and had a Xuan level cultivation level; the latter was named Cheng.
Keyou is a wealthy gentry, but he is a commoner. He has a large jade business. Like Liu Xiqing, they both intend to go to Qianshan Sect to do business. Jiang Feng naturally welcomes them and hopes that they will come to Qianshan in time.
Connect with yourself.
Of course, the other party will not really contact Jiang Feng. This show of goodwill is just to hope that Jiang Feng can take care of him when he encounters problems and unfair treatment. Everyone knows this unspoken rule.
Si Guanghao was also in a good mood, having swept away the haze of yesterday's defeat. As soon as the two of them left the Chu Mansion, a monk in white stopped them. When he looked again, it was Shangguan Boliang.
After grooming him, he no longer looked as slovenly as he had seen yesterday. He looked like a handsome young man. He had the vigor of a young man and the composure of a noble family. He was dressed in a splendid white robe and looked even more valuable. Many ordinary people passing by
Women all cast fiery glances at him. In comparison, the plain-looking Jiang Feng, coupled with the "outstanding" appearance of Si Guanghao with thick eyebrows, more than dwarfed him.
"Headmaster Jiang, are you going back to the sect?" Shangguan Boliang knew that Jiang Feng was temporarily staying at the Chu family. He wanted to send a greeting card as usual, but he happened to meet him at the door.
"That's right. Just as I was about to turn around, Fellow Taoist Shangguan came to see me?"
"Since you want to turn around, I will go with you. Solve your problem as soon as possible, and you can help me get the information I want as soon as possible." Shangguan Boliang turned around and avoided the burning eyes of a passing woman, "What, Si Guang
Hao, are you here too?"
"I'm going to Qianshan Sect to help." Si Guanghao recognized him. The two seemed to be familiar with each other, but there was something wrong. "Did you suddenly figure it out when you weren't in retreat at home thinking about beauties?"
"No, I am a very dedicated person, and I don't force others to do anything." There was something in Shangguan Boliang's words.
"Besides, you also believe those rumors." Si Guanghao's expression changed obviously, "Since we are traveling together, how about you do us a favor and go to the City Lord's Mansion to find a guide, so that we can fly directly to the Qianshan Sect with our swords?
"
"Why didn't you go? Because of your relationship with Xiaolan, the deputy city lord's daughter, you still need my help?" Shangguan Boliang couldn't help teasing.
"Of course I said to help Master Jiang get it. Of course, if you can't get it, I can help you." The two started bickering mode, preparing to expose each other's shortcomings, neither giving in to the other.
"Okay, how about we take a carriage?" Jiang Feng was afraid that the two of them would argue with each other. Their images were so distinct and outstanding, like fireflies in the dark night, and people passing by seemed to be watching.
"I'll go!"
Hearing that Jiang Feng was going to take a carriage, Shangguan Boliang felt much more happy this time. He turned around and quickly disappeared into the crowd. Jiang Feng and Si Guanghao waited for a moment before Shangguan Boliang turned around and threw two wooden slips over, with "Quality" engraved on the front.
The word "行" is engraved on the back with a twisted snake-shaped symbol, which should be a token that allows flying with a sword in the city near Zhenwu City.
With this convenience, Jiang Feng and the two of them quickly left Zhenwu City. As soon as they left the city gate, three streams of light suddenly appeared and flew towards the northeast at full speed, heading towards the Qianshan Sect.
When the sun set, the three of them arrived in Luochuan. Jiang Feng called Wang Yi, the deacon of the Curtain Department, and Wu Chunhua, the deacon of the Ceremony Department, and ordered them to settle the two distinguished guests Shangguan Boliang and Si Guanghao until tomorrow.
Guanghao's appointment letter is ready, and the situation of Meng Jiaojie having no suitable deacon for a long time can be changed. The cultivation level of the fourth level of Xuan level is not low in Qianshan Sect. According to his own introduction, in addition to Meng Jiao, Lingzhi
He was proficient in formations, alchemy, and weapon refining, but when it came to "weapon refining," Shangguan Boliang showed his disdain at the right time.
Of course, there is no comparison. No matter how much Jiang Feng trusts Si Guanghao, he will not think that he has the same ability as Shangguan Boliang. Knowing is one thing, and actual operation is another.
Zhang Pule, the secular deacon of the Mengjiao Si, has been unable to work normally in the Mengjiao Si recently due to physical illness. There are only a few secular stewards to help maintain daily affairs. Jiang Feng drafted the appointment of Si Guanghao as the Mengjiao Si overnight.
The deacon's document also removed Zhang Pule from his post, but as a special deal, his salary can be paid until next winter, and an additional salary of twenty second-level spiritual stones was added at one time, which can be regarded as a reward for his hard work over the years.
contribute.
This time he went to Li Zong and returned within a few days. The desk was rarely clean, there were no messages, and there were no reports from the counties. Only then did Jiang Feng feel a little leisurely as the leader. He closed his eyes and rested for a moment, then thought about the recent days.
Arrangements come.
For those who are close to you, you need to select a location to establish a small spiritual vein. Needless to say, the four medium-sized spiritual veins are located in the four counties of Dayi, Nuangu, Donghu, and Beimu. The ten small spiritual veins need to be considered and the natural conditions must be selected.
It's quite a good place, so that we can use the power of monks to solidify the common people and prevent all the common people from flooding into the four counties, creating a large number of urban poor and causing chaos.
I took out a detailed map of the distribution of counties and towns in Qianshan, thought about it over and over again, and finally settled on ten market towns:
One is Longgu Town in the southeast of Dayi County, which specializes in animal bone fossils;
Secondly, Beichen Town in the south of Dayi County and northwest of Luochuan has chlorite veins;
Third, in the west of Luochuan, Guanquan Town, close to the border of Lizong, has a cold water spiritual spring that can nourish the spiritual fields. Although it has been rented out, the population is still there, and on the edge of the spiritual spring, types of spiritual grains that are resistant to barrenness are planted.
, is also a good livelihood;
Fourth, Guhan Town, which was originally affiliated to Hanshan Sect, specializes in water jade;
These four towns are all resource-based market towns. They already have the foundation for ordinary livelihood. Building small spiritual veins and stationing spiritual-level monks to garrison them will help local development and stability. The three towns of Fuyuan are involved in the secret of the true spirit saint.
Xin, plus there is no real mineral vein, Jiang Feng does not plan to include these three towns in the plan for the time being to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Fifth, adjacent to Beimu County, Xinde Town is located in the south. Whether Beimu County is a county or a special district in imagination, the monk resources will be monopolized by other sects or the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce. Take a step back and establish a monk of your own.
A stronghold where you can live is very important;
Sixth, Tuqiao Town is planned to be the only way from Jincheng Pailelin City to the west of Qianshan Zongshang Road;
Seventh, Yuanyi Town, in order to avoid being overly influenced by the Jincheng Sect, selected Donghu County as one of the first three counties. However, in fact, the geographical location of this formation is more favorable, located in the existing commercial area between the Qianshan Sect and the Jincheng Sect.
On the road and adjacent to the border;
Eighth, Zhanchuan Town is adjacent to the original Heishui Gate. Now Heishui Gate has been destroyed. If the trade route to the Wei State in the south is opened and the poisonous spring swamp is drained, this place must be the place to pass;
These four market towns are all located on the trade routes and on the border. They have small spiritual veins. They can not only protect the land and stabilize the people, but also attract ordinary people from outside. This is still very necessary for the Qianshan Sect with a small population.
.
In addition, the other two market towns did not have so much consideration. Jiang Feng planned to defend Luochuan from the south to the north. The northern one was Caomiao Town, where Nie Xiaofan was born, and the southern one was Chumen Town, located in
Between Luochuan and Nuangu County, He Yu was born here. Presumably out of their love for their hometown, the two of them would often visit and take care of it.
After demarcating ten market towns, Jiang Feng called the general affairs elder Zheng Luda and the law enforcement elder Wang Xiandao overnight. He entrusted the two people with a "huge sum" of one hundred third-level spiritual stones, and ordered them to deliver them to Shangguan Boliang tomorrow.
When purchasing materials, if necessary and at reasonable prices, try to purchase them within the Qianshan Sect. As for Shangguan Boliang's income from labor services, Jiang Feng will negotiate with him and make payment on schedule.
Zheng Luda and Wang Xiandao had never seen so many spiritual stones. Their expressions changed several times. Jiang Feng originally planned to build a small spiritual vein, and they naturally agreed with both hands. However, they also knew that this construction would cost a lot of money. They originally planned to build a small spiritual vein.
He thought Jiang Feng would need a lot of time to raise funds, but he didn't expect that he would be ready so quickly, including the monks who built the formation. He couldn't help but admire the leader Jiang Feng even more.
"Master, you must rest assured that Luda and I will definitely do this well." Wang Xiandao rarely expressed his determination. A month ago, he still had the thought of being equal in strength and ability to the master.
, Thinking about it now, I was still a little too naive at that time. I was afraid that this act would cost me my life, and I couldn't do it.
"We will make a detailed list of the purchased items, but..."
"Just what?"
"It's just that the sect's treasury owes you a huge sum of money again." Zheng Luda said with a smile. There were four medium-sized small spiritual veins and ten small small spiritual veins, which were enough to excite the monks in the sect. Among them, the
The caves can basically meet the needs of the monks in the sect for rotational training, and there is even a surplus. "Do these caves also need tribute?"
"Xuan-level monks do not need it. Spirit-level monks can use the caves in the four counties and pay normal tribute. The remaining ten small spiritual veins are halved. In fact, I still hope that the monks in the sect can visit various places to increase their knowledge and improve themselves.
Increase local popularity.”
"Yes, then just follow what the leader said."
Wang Xiandao put away the map and responded first. His thoughts had already flown to the various small spiritual veins that were about to start construction. The investment of one hundred third-level coins and the deployment of manpower and materials was not a small amount.
A few days ago, Shen Junmao complained to himself that the refugees in Dayi County had nowhere to stay. With this investment, any ordinary person who is willing to make money can find some livelihood.
After sending Wang Xiandao and Zheng Luda away, Jiang Feng calmed down again and practiced the giant wooden barrier skills for a long time before having a peaceful sleep. When the morning sun rose, he had breakfast and invited Shangguan Boliang to come over.
"Fellow Daoist Shangguan, look at what you are looking for. Is this the person you are looking for?"
According to his memory, Jiang Feng played two symbols and displayed the image of Wan Qing in his impression. The former was obtained by divination using the lotus instrument for the first time, and the latter was obtained by chance in Pujiang Town, Chixiamen. The two have similar appearances.
, but due to the different environment, there are slight differences. Today, Shangguan Boliang will start to help Qianshan Sect build the Xiaoling Formation. In order to reassure him, Jiang Feng plans to put the search for Wan Qing on the agenda as soon as possible.
"is her!"
Shangguan Boliang recognized the person in the portrait at a glance. He immediately took out a scroll with Wan Qing on it and took a deep breath. "She has lost a lot of weight. I don't know if she is doing well or not."
She is living a good life. She is a multi-faceted spy and will not die so easily. Jiang Feng almost blurted out, but thinking that this might dampen Shangguan Boliang's fighting spirit, Jiang Feng did not intend to provoke him without knowing whether he knew the truth.
.
"I will start searching for you today. How long will it take to complete the construction of all the small spiritual veins?"
"Three months." Shangguan Boliang said bluntly, "If you are in Li Zong, you may not need so much time, but Qian Shan Zong lacks some necessary materials. Zheng Luda came to me this morning and told me your request.
If it is a single purchase, it will take more time, otherwise it can be completed in two months."
"Okay, three months is enough. The Qianshan Sect is poor and weak, which will cause trouble for fellow Taoists. Let's start the construction of the Xiaoling Formation from Dayi County. No matter what the result is, I want to pay you for the work when it is completed. I don't know.
Is it possible?" Taking into account the actual demands of the newly promoted Xuan-level monk Wei Chengyu, Jiang Feng selected Dayi County as the first location to start construction.
"No problem, I'm not short of money. If you have any clues about Wan Qing, you can tell me. If you find the real person, I can pay you spiritual stones."
He is such an infatuated person. This is the same as that Ye Mo. This Wan Qing is really good. Shangguan Boliang has obviously not gotten over the emotional pain. I don't know if that young man Ye Mo can be better? I want to say
It is no exaggeration to say that the "love demon" is the monk's first natural enemy. Through the phase separation technique, Jiang Feng can see that Shangguan Boliang's Dharma appearance is quite good, so it is a pity that he was delayed by Wan Qing.
If there is a knot in the heart, the natural road will not be smooth.
However, there is no way to dissuade this matter. In the past few days, have you been thinking about Zheng Keyi's situation? After sending away the worried Shangguan Boliang, Jiang Feng entrusted Wang Yi to issue a sect mission to find clues about Wan Qing, with a reward of 20,000 sects.
With such a hefty reward, I believe that all the monks in the sect will pay careful attention to this matter when near the Qianshan Sect and passing through other surrounding sects.
Twenty thousand tributes, this must be the most generous sect mission this year, right?
As for whether he could find it, Jiang Feng didn't think about it. Maybe the twenty-seven third-level coins couldn't be saved, but he didn't know if Ye Mo had something from Wan Qing in his hand. If so, maybe he could do some divination. Mobile phone
end::
Should we go to Chixiamen to find Ye Mo? If we find him, we might save a lot of spiritual stones.
Just as Jiang Feng was hesitating, the thin-faced boy Zhang Yang came to inform him that a guest from the Changning Chamber of Commerce was visiting. Changning Chamber of Commerce? Jiang Feng immediately thought of Dou Jinqiu.
