After the price was determined, Ning Chen took the students from these families and headed towards his Baijia City.
If you take these people with you, you will get both money and goods.
The large group of people returned to Baijia City in two days.
In Baijiacheng, after Ning Chen completed the handover with them, he didn't even let them have dinner or anything.
As a result, all goods were sold at high prices.
Ning Chen calculated the total and found that he had earned a total of almost six million taels in this wave.
Looking at this number, Ning Chen felt that Emperor Shun was really a good emperor who hid wealth among the people.
My court lived a tight life, and the final balance of the treasury was only over 4 million taels every year.
If you look at these vassal kings and semi-saint families below, they are all really extremely rich.
For a Semi-Saint family, you can still say that they have family heritage.
The vassal kings were simply fed fat by Emperor Shun.
After Ning Chen's troubles, these feudal kings lost a lot of blood.
But it is far from reaching the point of breaking the muscles and bones.
If it really came to that point, these people would have already started fighting with Ning Chen.
Now that it is clear that it can be solved with money, will everyone just use money to solve it?
After counting his accounts, Ning Chen also asked Wu Ang to come to his side.
The share given to the empress wife must be counted now, and then arrangements can be made for Wu Zhao to send it to the capital.
After sending a message to Wu Ang, Ning Chen discussed with Fang Xiong the next defense task of Baijia City.
Although Ning Chen felt that the tiger demons would not be so fierce that they would risk everything and just fight against him.
But the defense that needs to be done still needs to be done.
These defenses may not be used, but they must not be useless.
In addition to Fang Xiong, Ning Chen also called Yun Xuanzi over.
"General Fang, I leave this matter of the city defender's training to you, General Fang.
In addition, as for my Shenlong Guards, I will send them all out in the next two days.
Let them collect some news from the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom. If there is any latest news, I will inform you, General Fang, as soon as possible."
After hearing Ning Chen's words, Fang Xiong said, "You don't have to go to so much trouble, just hand them all over to me."
"General Fang, apart from gathering information about the Dragon Guard, I also have other uses." Ning Chen said to Fang Xiong.
"What's your use? Just tell me and I'll just take them with you." Fang Xiong said.
"They are all trivial matters. I will arrange them. General Fang, you just need to grasp the general direction." Ning Chen said to Fang Xiong politely.
Since Ning Chen insisted not to hand it over to him, Fang Xiong no longer insisted.
These Dragon Guards were a group of people that Ning Chen had finally taught him well. If they fell into Fang Xiong's hands,
Not to mention turning into a fool again in the end, the key point is that in Fang Xiong's hands, his Dragon Guard will inevitably be greatly reduced in number.
Fang Xiong's approach is really a bit too wild.
Keeping Shenlong Wei Ningchen will still be of great use.
After explaining Fang Xiong's mission, Ning Chen said to Yun Xuanzi: "Senior Yun, how is the arrangement of the formations in the city?"
Yun Xuanzi said: "Ninety percent of the layout has been completed, but there are still some areas left unfinished."
Ning Chen nodded and said: "Senior Yun, let's turn on all the formations in the next few days and treat it as a trial run. If there are any problems, Senior Yun will bring someone to adjust it."
"That's fine. But there are some things that may need to be prepared in advance. They can be run for a certain period of time without replacement." Yun Xuanzi said to Ning Chen.
"That's no problem. What do you need, Senior Yun? Write a list later and give it to me. I will arrange for someone to buy it immediately."
It's just money. Ning Chen is not short of money now.
The income of several million taels is enough for Ning Chen to use for a long time.
Yun Xuanzi also knew that Ning Chen had made a fortune, so he didn't save anything for Ning Chen and directly wrote a list and gave it to Ning Chen.
Ask Ning Chen to prepare all the materials in advance for him according to the list.
Ning Chen took a look at the contents on the list and put the list away.
When Wu Ang comes over, Wu Ang can take these lists with him and prepare them for himself.
"Senior Yun, does the Taoist sect have any special means to identify the transformed monsters?
It is best that this method can be operated by low-level practitioners, and at the end it should be some concealed method."
Ning Chen was thinking about this issue when he came back.
For Ning Chen and the others, they can see the transformed monsters as long as they observe carefully.
But for ordinary people and practitioners with low cultivation levels, they have no way of seeing it.
Of course, Ning Chen couldn't go to the gate to guard it every day.
Look at the people who come in and out of Baijia City, who is a demon clan and who is not a demon clan.
Therefore, it would be best if Yun Xuanzi could solve this matter.
"There are ways to do it, but it may be a little troublesome to arrange it, and the cost is not small.
Such costs are actually not cost-effective.
No one in the four northern states would make such an arrangement.
It is almost impossible for two monster clans to sneak in and cause any big waves in the city.
If there are too many, the trap will inevitably be exposed.
So I think this matter is really not necessary."
Yun Xuanzi wanted Ning Chen to consider this, but it was just money, Ning Chen would care about this.
Safety is the most important thing to Ning Chen.
"Don't worry about Yundao Chang's money. Just arrange the arrangements. Write down what you need, and I'll prepare it together with others."
Seeing what Ning Chen said, Yun Xuanzi stopped arguing with Ning Chen.
I immediately wrote down all the required materials.
"Okay, I will send you all the things when the time comes."
Yun Xuanzi nodded: "If there is nothing else, I will leave."
Ning Chen stopped Yun Xuanzi and said, "Don't leave, Taoist Master Yun. I have an opportunity to make a fortune here, and I plan to let Senior Yun get involved."
If someone else mentioned an opportunity to make a fortune, then Yun Xuanzi might consider it.
But when Ning Chen talked about the opportunity to make a fortune, Yun Xuanzi felt a chill down his spine.
"Taoist Master Yun, this is really a good opportunity to make a fortune. If you, Taoist Master Yun, seize it, the chance to turn your Taoism around will really come." Ning Chen said to seduce Yun Xuanzi.
Yun Xuanzi thought about it for a while, but still could not resist the temptation and said: "Pindao just stay and listen, but Pindao really has nothing to offer now."
Ning Chen waved his hand and said: "This time, there is no need for you, Taoist priest, to invest any more money. This time I will pay all the money, and you will be responsible for the technical investment."
Technology investment?
Although this was the first time I heard this new term, Yun Xuanzi understood it once he understood it.
Ning Chen planned to let people from traditional Taoist sects like them work as coolies.
If it was to do coolies, Yun Xuanzi would not be interested.
Gu Ao
"Taoist Master, how can technical investment be a labor force? You will receive dividends when the time comes. This is completely different from a labor force..."
Ning Chen spoke eloquently to Yun Xuanzi directly so that he could talk it through.
What Yun Xuanzi said was vague, but what Ning Chen described made Yun Xuanzi feel as if he had seen a golden avenue.
"We are not in a hurry about this matter, Taoist Master Yun. I will invite Wu Zhizao from the Ministry of Industry here later, and we will discuss this matter together. In addition, Wu Ang may be needed, so we can discuss it together."
"good."
Fang Xiong had no interest in what Ning Chen was going to discuss next.
So Fang Xiong left first.
Ning Chen is not worried about leading troops at all.
Just let Fang Xiong do it.
As for my own safety, isn't there an old stick named Yun Xuanzi around me?
At noon the next day, Wu Ang arrived at Baijiacheng.
Wu Ang not only brought his own people, but also brought back many of the children of semi-saint families in Luanzhou who were transporting grain.
It's just that all of these people are injured.
"What happened? You robbed them on the way. Your way is too wild. Even if we are gathering wool, we can't catch a sheep." Ning Chen looked at the defeated soldiers brought by Wu Ang and said jokingly .
"I rescued them on the way, but they were assassinated by demons from the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom. When I arrived, these were the only ones left. The rest were all dead."
"I think at first glance, these people have just come out of your place. If you don't ignore them, this matter may not be clear."
"I'll bring you someone here first."
After listening to Wu Ang's words, Ning Chen also understood the whole story.
"Why are you being intercepted by the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom? For the supplies you have?" Ning Chen asked the students from the Semi-Saint Family.
A student from the Zhu family said: "Yes, the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom is here for our supplies. Half of our supplies were robbed by them. Please ask Ningyuan Chief, for the sake of being a human race, you can help us." Take it back."
After Ning Chen heard this, he curled his lips and said, "If I don't have the ability to keep my own food, I will put a high hat on others. Can your Zhu family be better?"
"Head of Ningyuan, how could you..."
Ning Chen directly interrupted the Zhu family student and said: "Stop talking nonsense, I have serious things to do later.
You can write down the details of what happened here and leave a mark.
Then you can go back.
As for the supplies that were taken away from you, if you have the ability, you can take them back yourself.
If I take it back, you may have to buy it at a higher price."
After hearing what Ning Chen said, the students from the Half-Saint Family stopped working.
"Ningyuan Chief, we have already spent money, and those materials are already ours."
"How can you, Chief Ning Yuan, do things like this? You're just too greedy."
…
"Quiet!"
Ning Chen used his tongue to suppress all other sounds.
After all the students calmed down, Ning Chen began to explain his reasoning to them.
"I'm here to talk about things. If you don't understand, let's talk about it."
After clearing his throat, Ning Chen began to say: "It's true that you bought the supplies from me.
But now this batch of supplies has been robbed by the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.
After you return home, shouldn’t you report the loss to your family?”
The Zhu family students nodded, feeling that this was correct.
Ning Chen also nodded and continued: "Okay, then when I meet the people from the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom, I will snatch these supplies back. Do you think this is my seizure?"
The students of the Zhu family hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Confucian scholars are good at this, seeking truth from facts.
"So you see, the same batch of materials has different properties after passing through the hands of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.
So you can't just give it to you for free just because you spent money.
If this is the case, then no one should seize it from the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom in the future.
Once you seize it, you have to take it back without repayment. Isn’t this chaos?”
Ning Chen's theory made the students of the Zhu family speechless.
Because what Ning Chen said, he is absolutely right.
The same batch of materials, if transferred from one hand to another, will indeed have different properties.
"Head of Ningyuan, now we are asking you to help us get the supplies back. This is different." Some of the students on the opposite side reacted and said to Ning Chen.
Ning Chen spread his hands and said, "Yes, but I also said that I won't help you.
When I encounter the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom, I will take the initiative to fight them, and I need to capture them."
OK,
This makes sense,
All cleared!
If this is the case, then it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time.
They must act quickly to get the things back before those bandits from the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom leave the northern border.
If Ning Chen succeeds first, things will be difficult to handle.
At that time, there will be an extra sum of money.
"Chief Ning Yuan, we take our leave."
"Leave quickly, I won't send you away!"
After these students left, Ning Chen said to Wu Ang: "Find two good people and follow them."
Wu Ang narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you planning to stay behind?"
Ning Chen shook his head and said: "I won't make such unconscionable money. I mean follow them, if you really can't do it.
Just rescue the people, and then follow the people from the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom, and after we leave the northern border, I will have people seize the loot."
After hearing Ning Chen's words, Wu Ang immediately said cooperatively: "Brother Ning, you are really kind-hearted."
Ning Chen ignored Wu Ang's teasing and said, "I have two things to do with you today. The first thing is that you arrange for some of your subordinates to send money to your imperial sister to the capital."
Wu Ang nodded and said: "This is easy to handle, but how much do you plan to give to my imperial sister?"
Ning Chen thought for a moment and said, "Total, one and a half million taels."
"With this money, it will be much easier for my royal sister to take action.
After the autumn harvest, there will be a great harvest.
The treasury was suddenly full, regardless of my father's previous confusing accounts.
My imperial sister may be able to double the national treasury this year."
Ning Chen said: "This is the second thing I came to see you for.
Since the treasury already has money, it will definitely not work to pile it up.
This has to be spent, and it would be better to spend it on us than if it were given to outsiders."
