When the first ray of morning light fell on the smooth and dust-free counter, Qiu Zhenzhen, who entered the store from the back hall, realized that there was something different here. The piece of raw jade stone that was pressed on the counter was moved forward.
Three inches.
Without him, as the shopkeeper here, the slow business made her pay extra attention to every furnishing here. Moreover, this was the agreed means of contact with the mysterious visitor from the Zhong family, which was simple and confidential.
call!
It really requires a very delicate girl's heart, Qiu Zhenzhen thought to herself. Sometimes, she even looked at the polished bronze mirror and wondered if such a harsh life for herself would make her infected with some harmless things.
, but a neurotic hobby?
Of course, this is because she has been unable to open up the situation here.
As a spy who is not professionally trained, the circle she can reach is all through accidental encounters and bold attempts to explore, rather than using any systematic methods. She is limited to a lack of investment in spiritual stones and cannot use the human sea tactic to make up for it. Although
Due to luck, I haven't suffered any losses, but I haven't gained much either.
Putting back her racing thoughts, she casually walked to the counter as usual, holding her hands on her slightly plump chest, which was wrapped in layers of brocade cloth so that the bumps were not visible. Her peripheral vision fell on the stone, and in the morning light
With a gleam of light, she saw that there seemed to be some traces of water stains on the smooth counter.
"Your guess is right"
She saw clearly that line of traces that could be easily erased with her hands, moved the stone away, and there was another line of small words underneath it.
"Please fulfill your promise as soon as possible"
Promise? That is to say, the Zhong family needs to be involved in the business of handling the Yufeng Sect's passing goods. Qiu Zhenzhen has already reported the matter to the person in charge of the Mirror Division. He just needs to wait for the reply from the head Jiang Feng. As time goes by,
, if she does not receive a reply as soon as possible, her situation will also become dangerous.
Naturally, Qiu Zhenzhen would not let such a thing happen. At least he could forge Jiang Feng's instructions before the danger really came. For example, if this matter needed to be discussed in detail, he would take the opportunity to return to the Qianshan Sect with the envoy. Of course, not until necessary.
, she thought there was no need to do this.
She had to pass on Wan Qing's information first and get the 20,000 tributes. She immediately sorted out the priority, called her assistant Zhou Daxiang, gave him a few instructions, and then went out alone, taking a detour to the meeting point again.
.
When passing by "Xiang Tan Ju", she deliberately pretended to be arranging her hair on her forehead, and stopped briefly at the entrance of the store. From the corner of her eye, she saw that everything in the store was operating normally, except for one waiter who seemed to be a little lame.
, the others were cleaning the shelves as usual and preparing to open, so I felt relieved. However, when I passed the corner, I saw two new job notices.
Is there any store on this street that is not doing well and needs to change its owner and business direction?
Qiu Zhenzhen thought of this possibility for the first time, but she suddenly had a special idea. Can she pretend to recruit workers and learn some of the secrets of the city? Logically speaking, these idlers looking for work in the city should
You can often learn something special, right? Maybe this can be regarded as a free human wave tactic?
However, this requires some questioning skills and some preliminary selection conditions to avoid excessive flow of people and attracting too much attention from other stores.
…………
The Kingdom of Wei is located in the heart of Buluo Mountain.
Chen Kun, who was still covered in scars, flew into the large formation at the heart of the mountain in a few steps. With a slight movement of his fingers, several spiritual stones were embedded in the spiritual formation. With a burst of light, the semi-transparent masks were all opened, and he
It flew straight into the heart of the mountain.
"Boy, you're hurt."
Wan Lao Mo's upper body was facing away from him, and his powerful muscles were taut at the root. Substantial spiritual energy was constantly infiltrating and impacting his body, just like waves surging under a steep mountain wall.
"Hey, luckily, I'm lucky that I didn't die." Chen Kun didn't care about Wan Laomo's attitude. "Time is limited, and I have other things to help you with. I'm just here to tell you that I have successfully convinced the people around me.
Lord of seven cities, but when the time is right, you need to come out and cooperate with me."
"There are still five days until the next psychic tide." Wanlaomo did not look back, "Maybe I can succeed this time and advance to what you call the virtual heaven level."
"I wish you good luck." Chen Kun pouted, "When you leave seclusion, if you can add a few elixirs in time, it will be very helpful for you to stabilize your Xu Tian level realm, so you'd better be prepared to fight with others.
.The territory here has been assigned to Tianyin Temple, and I will help you collect information about the monks as soon as possible."
“Very good!”
Wan Laomo said in a deep voice, throwing out six crystal fragments wrapped in black mist and exuding cold air, and floated in front of Chen Kun, "I took the time to refine the seeds of the inner demon, you can find some casual cultivators to test the seeds.
If I wish, I can possess them remotely at any time and control their life and death. The human race appears to be loyal, but in fact they are mostly people who act according to the circumstances. When I leave seclusion, if no one is around to look after me, I will probably let these people
The city lord was shaken and had second thoughts."
"Old Demon, you have thought carefully." Chen Kun smiled. He had been worried about this matter, but he had no means to solve it. The fragment fell into his palm, soaked in ice energy, and could not be solved.
This made him feel chilly in his heart.
"Don't worry, I won't use it on you and your wife. These inner demon seeds can only be used on mid-stage foundation-building or mid-level Xuan-level monks for the time being, and the control distance is very limited. When I get out of seclusion and achieve the Xuantian level,
Then you can refine the seeds of more powerful inner demons, and I will teach you how to control them when the time comes, so that you can make them work for us."
"Haha, old devil, you are really talented and can figure out such exquisite skills. I really should lock you in Li Zong for another five hundred years and concentrate on studying such methods." Chen Kun copied the inner demon's seed in his hand.
, complained, and the figure quickly disappeared into the mountain.

Qianshan Sect, Luo Chuan.
Jiang Feng deliberately did not return directly with his sword. Instead, he chose a carriage on the trade route halfway, changed its shape and appearance, and used Jiang Xiaobai's face to enter the courtyard of the Mirror Division as a visitor.
He suspected that there were still many outside sect eyes and ears in Luochuan who were keeping an eye on his whereabouts. The Luochuan shop information given by Tu Shan, the head of the Luoying Sect, and the focus of Wang Xiandao and the Mirror Division's investigation and suppression based on this, were all in Chi
Xiamen, and the background of the Jincheng sect, which was originally confirmed as "harmless and friendly", has been almost ignored. This has to be said to be a misjudgment. There are no eternal friends. This must always be clearly understood.
.
After entering the reception room of the Mirror Department, Jiang Feng returned to his original appearance and summoned Zheng Yiyu, the deacon of the Mirror Department, and ordered him to find Wang Yi, the deacon of the Rolling Curtain Department, to check the report left by the head of the inner palace.
"Master, Senior Qiu sent a secret report the day before yesterday, saying that there is an important matter that needs to be decided personally." Zheng Yiyu did not leave directly, but reported Qiu Zhenzhen's report first.
"Is it important?" Qiu Zhenzhen is the spy he sent to the Jincheng Sect. How could she have something important? Could it be that something big happened to the Jincheng Sect? Jiang Feng opened the report with doubts, and it became clear after a moment.
She is going to work part-time as a foreign affairs elder...
By the way, as for the Zhong family, are they really sincere about making friends with the Qianshan clan, or do they have other purposes? As a small city lord sandwiched between Leng Tingtao and Su Liqing, coupled with the background of Yanqiling, it is indeed a bit
They have both sides, but they feel like they are walking on thin ice. If they want to find another way out, this idea is not completely unreasonable.
To open up the trade route in the north, according to the previous official documents between the Jincheng Sect and the Qianshan Sect, Zhong Shan, the head of the Zhong family, who is the new Lord of Ningta City, was indeed ordered to communicate and solve the problem, but only official communication is needed to achieve this.
Purpose. What benefits can be gained from reaching a closer cooperative relationship for the Qianshan Sect? Especially with Leng Tingtao, the lord of Lelin City, they have become nominal allies on the issue of the "Beimu Special Zone"
case. PC::/
Become an intelligence ally like Ruijinmen?
Although Yanqiling has passed away, the Zhong family still has some hidden power that can be used. In the central and northern parts of the Jincheng faction, it is indeed easier to get first-hand information than themselves. They cannot interact with Su Liqing on an equal footing, and with Leng Ting
When Tao Shang cannot be heart-to-heart, there are indeed some benefits to having more protection and comparison.
The question is, is it worth it?
Transactions between the Yufeng Sect and the Qianshan Sect basically have to be transshipped through the chamber of commerce designated by the Yufeng Sect, and most of the goods will be bought by the Qianshan Sect's shops or stationed chambers of commerce, and then resold to other neighboring sects.
, and the Qianshan Sect will also collect taxes from such bulk deliveries and return most of them to the Yufeng Sect at the end of the year.
Jiang Feng's original plan was to facilitate this matter through Dayi County and Donghu County. If the Zhong family's conditions were to be met, Tuqiao Town would need to be added.
That's not impossible.
It just depends on whether anyone is willing to be the intermediary underwriter. Needless to say, Dayi County, under the management of Shen Junmao, has a large number of small chambers of commerce, including the Li Zong Yu family. As long as there is a suitable price difference, they will try their best to swallow it, and Donghu
After the county and Changning Chamber of Commerce expand their operations, they will also take up most of the share. Although they are blocked in Lelin City, they heard that their business in Tianyou City has not been affected. In Tuqiao Town, which is still a few remote areas, it has not been affected.
A suitable size of chamber of commerce has moved in, but it is still a blank space with only a long-term plan.
Business...
Jiang Feng thought of the three people in the Chu Mansion of Zhenwu City, Liu Xiqing, the head of the Liu family, who had a relatively harmonious relationship with him, Cheng Pingqian, the second shopkeeper of the Cheng family firm, and Cheng Keyou, a wealthy gentleman. Maybe they would be interested. Although Tuqiao Town is still a few
The development of a depressed area is expensive because of the cheap land and labor. With the cooperation of the Zhong family, it may be profitable.
Of course, the premise of all this is that Qiu Zhenzhen has not been deceived. If the Leng family or Su Liqing is the person behind this, then the result may be different... It is always better to be cautious.
Yes, send someone to have a detailed discussion with Wu Quanzhong.
Jiang Feng gave instructions and asked Zheng Yiyu to find the foreign affairs elder Wu Quanzhong, talk to him about the matter in detail, and write a handwritten letter to him. Together with the general affairs elder Zheng Luda, they went to visit Liu Xiqing and others, and invited them to Tuqiao.
It is best for the town to invest and do business in the form of a chamber of commerce, which can give the other party the convenience of land price. Regardless of whether the information submitted by Qiu Zhenzhen is true or false, it will not hinder the opening of the eastward business road of Tuqiao Town. For Liu Xiqing
Even if the expected profits are not achieved in the future, they will probably not lose money.
Although it may be more effective and more sincere to go by myself, there is still the matter of going to Zhenwu City to seek support from the Lingcage Chamber of Commerce, and then visiting Liu Xiqing and others. I am afraid that I will not have enough time, and the "Wuyi" team
Lei Youqi of Lei Youqi has already made an appointment. Regardless of whether the two sides find helpers, they will meet secretly in Chumen Town in the north in three days. Now is not the time to create complications. Moreover, in terms of communication on detailed issues, perhaps the combination of Zheng Luda and Wu Quanzhong is better than himself.
More appropriate.
Zheng Yiyu then summoned Wang Yi. Wang Yi followed the instructions and went to the leader's inner palace, but he only brought two reports. In addition, Jiang Hai happened to return from other places, so Wang Yi took it upon himself to summon him to report.
They belong to two people, one is Wei Jie, the governor of Beimu County, and the other is Zheng Luda, the elder of the general affairs department.
This is Wei Jie's first report since she took over as guard. It contains a lot of content and is very detailed. The report mentions three things. One is that she has already investigated the price difference of materials based on Qiu Zhenzhen's previous investigation.
, expanded the scope of the investigation, and put the business and resale of five common items on the right track. She had registered the initial investment with the general secretary Zheng Luda as usual, and withdrawn the temporary loan in advance from the large treasury. Due to the problem of the payment cycle, it is estimated that three
Initial profits can be made after a few months.
Yes, as expected, women are all geniuses when it comes to managing money, but I underestimated Wei Jie. I originally thought that Qiu Zhen, who had evil intentions, was really a good player, but I didn't expect that Wei Jie was also quite talented in this aspect, even better than her.
Qiu Zhenzhen had a lot. Jiang Feng sighed secretly in his heart, skipping the detailed and incomprehensible detailed reports, and continued to look back.
Secondly, in addition to the two ordinary children of the Wei family, she has taken advantage of the convenient transportation of people here to recruit eight additional ordinary assistants to assist in handling the business here. Each of them has some skills, and she will use the additional
Time has come to train them, and she has gained some experience in this regard. If the method proves to be effective, she hopes to apply for some spiritual stone funds to train more available people, and she also looks forward to sending them to various places in the future.
County probation can reduce the burden of guarding common affairs in each county, or be assigned to towns to replace ordinary people's guarding work, so as to push the affairs within the clan to a new level.
Is this due to the life inertia of the head wife?
His personal style is completely different from Zhou Xing, the "admonishing official" who likes to propose system reforms, Li Youde, the "virtuous official" who likes to spend money and persuade people to do good, and Shen Junmao, the "idle official" who is good at expanding business territory through making friends.
, Wei Jie seems to have found her own unique way of governing a county and exporting talents.
Third, Wei Jie detected that the number of loose cultivators coming and going recently has been significantly decreasing. Judging from her past experience, this is a precursor to the beginning of a war. She suggested that the intelligence department strengthen intelligence work and at the same time restrict the words and deeds of monks within the sect.
, Reduce outing experience and avoid getting involved in possible wars.
He has a cautious temperament and is also very meticulous. The price of monks' supplies has increased, and casual cultivators have been recruited by various forces, which indicates that war may occur. I believe that every sect around him has his own judgment, but it is important to grasp the specific opportunity.
All parties have their own opinions.
At present, according to the news from all parties, the war may break out in the autumn of next year, but there may be small frictions before then. For this, the Asan Mountain Sect must prepare early. For this reason, Jiang Feng plans to ascend to the immortal in the winter.
After the conference, we used excuses such as the Taoism Exchange Conference and the Second Martial Arts Conference to restrict the monks of our sect from going out too much, using reasonable reasons to reduce the spread of panic as much as possible.
Regarding Fuyuan Town, after reaching a cooperation agreement with the Lingcong Chamber of Commerce, nothing happened here. After Zheng Luda urgently recruited a group of miners in accordance with Jiang Feng's request, nothing happened here. Everything here went as it should.
There are a few times when ordinary stewards report to Luochuan, and the situation there is synchronized.
However, in the name of investigating the mineral exploration situation, Zheng Ruda personally visited the Linglong Chamber of Commerce's construction site, which is where this report came from.
The report mentioned that the scale of employment of the Linglong Chamber of Commerce has been significantly reduced compared to before, but the work of detecting veins has not stopped, and at least two mineral deposits of some value have been found, but they have not been mined.
This is natural. They didn't come here for the mineral deposits in the first place, but Jiang Feng couldn't share this secret with the elders and the rest of the sect.
Jiang Feng knew clearly that the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce had reduced their manpower investment, so perhaps they followed his own advice and used demon puppets instead to reduce the continuous losses caused by the death of people. From this analysis, they had no idea about the secret of the True Spirit Saint.
Xin's exploration may have entered a new stage.
I don’t know what they will get from it? Jiang Feng, who escaped from the True Spirit Saint Cave, became a little curious. However, compared to the danger there, Jiang Feng felt that it would be better to wait until he reached a higher realm before going. Moreover, compared with
The more secret thing about the True Spirit Saint is probably the mysterious existence called "Great Wilderness Town".
He ordered several people not to reveal the news of his short stay in Luochuan to anyone, and told Jiang Hai his whereabouts alone, ordering him to stay in Luochuan temporarily. If something big happens, he can go to Chumen Town to find him. The key
At this moment, the most trustworthy person is still Jiang Hai.
Disguising himself again, he borrowed the carriages and horses of the Mirror Division to leave the Luochuan territory and traveled westward for dozens of miles. Only when there was no one around was there, Jiang Feng braved the headwind and sailed straight towards Zhenwu City.
