The climate in Qixia Province is slightly warmer than that in Zhongzhou, but this winter seems to be colder than previous winters. Only six or seven days after the first snowfall in Zhongzhou, snow also began to fall here in Dafuji Town.
The snow didn't fall heavily, it just coated the distant mountains with a light white layer. But because it didn't completely cover it, the snow was deep and shallow, and it looked more like an ink landscape painting, which was really beautiful.
Lin Xi was slightly thinner, and her face was too delicate and fair. She was wearing a white foxtail scarf and a light-colored embroidered robe, and she looked like a rich man.
Looking at the distant mountains that were as deep and shallow as an ink painting, and looking at the several ink chrysanthemums that were still blooming even though they were covered with a layer of snow in the yard, he stretched out his hand, and a few soft breaths were on his fingertips.
The rising and reciprocating motion caused the snowflakes that fell on the top of his palm to rise up and down, slowly forming a round and loose snow mass, suspended between his five fingers, which looked very mysterious.
When Yunqin just entered autumn, he really started to run Da Dexiang with all his heart. He made crazy decisions that looked like a red-eyed gambler to outsiders, almost drying up the silver that Da Dexiang could use for circulation.
But because he knew that those business methods would definitely lead to success, he felt no pressure at all.
This is indeed the case. In just over two months, Da Dexiang's rice and noodle business has been on the right track, and Da Dexiang's circulating silver has begun to not be as tight as before.
And only he and Chen Feirong knew that just over ten days ago, the black market business on the east side of the empire, which was originally invisible but had been going on in an orderly manner, suddenly stopped for a few days.
Bingzong has nothing to do with the Yunqin Court. Now that the Southern Expedition is a foregone conclusion, the entire Yunqin Court is concentrating all its efforts on the Southern Expedition. There is no time to worry about this kind of thing that is not urgent for the empire.
The reason why the black market business came to a halt was because one of the trading parties was suddenly missing - several bandits on the easternmost border of Yunqin. It seemed that there was a big internal conflict, and fighting and chaos lasted for several days.
And just after these few days, several groups of bandits seemed to have merged into one, and things seemed to become more orderly than before.
In the following days, many bandits were killed at the Dragon and Snake border, but they had nothing to do with the border troops. Instead, the largest group of bandits were attacking and killing bandits who were not on the same page as them, and did not pass through them, but only fought with those bandits.
Business caravan.
Because although there are many rogue bandits on the Yunqin border, they are like the rats in the sewers of the Yunqin Imperial City, invisible to the public. Therefore, the outside world has no idea what happened to these rats hiding in the poor mountains and rivers.
Only Lin Xi and Chen Feirong knew that the entire Da Dexiang had developed much better than they imagined in the past autumn.
Lin Xi's cultivation level also increased rapidly.
Xu Zhenyan always thought that after Lin Xi suffered such a serious injury, especially after what happened to the prince and Jiang Yu'er, his body and mind would be severely damaged, and his practice would definitely be slower than usual. But he and Lin Xi are two completely different people, so
It was impossible for him to understand Lin Xi's emotions. He could not have imagined that under Lin Xi's madness, Lin Xi's soul power had been increasing several times as usual.
Lin Xi's body is still very fragile. In Lin Xi's own perception, he has to at least survive this cold winter and wait until next spring before he can fight against others. However, under the hard training that spanned the entire autumn, he
Half of his feet have already crossed the threshold of the National Scholar level. I am afraid that it will only take more than ten days at most. According to the habits of previous years, he will be able to break through to the National Scholar level before the second snow falls this winter.
The body can only be treated gently, and it is impossible to practice any martial arts. It is even impossible to use a large amount of soul power to practice the way of wielding a sword. The feeling of rust and patina all over the body is getting heavier and heavier, but the body cannot move, so I can only
Concentrating on cultivating soul power, Lin Xi became more and more proficient in the use of soul power.
What Gu Xinyin passed on to him was not only the Prajna Temple's Avalokitesvara to Conquer Demons, but also his sword control skills, his other martial arts skills, and his understanding of soul power cultivation and the use of soul power.
If before leaving Biluo Mausoleum, Lin Xi was just a practitioner who only knew how to burst out his soul power to gain strength and speed. Now, in terms of controlling his soul power, he has begun to enter the mysterious realm, just like those truly powerful people.
Generally speaking, people understand the way to use soul power.
The loose snowballs were suspended and spinning in his fingers. Moved by his thoughts and stimulated by the soul power in his palms, they were crushed into a thin piece of snow. The sword made a soft sound and fell into the courtyard in front.
between a bunch of chrysanthemums.
This kind of beauty, like a great painter painting a beautiful scroll at his fingertips, is enough to move ordinary practitioners in the world, but Lin Xi sighed softly as if feeling a little wistful.
This kind of light snow reminded him of the snow in Shizhi Ridge, and reminded him of Qingluan College and the people at Qingluan College.
After being separated from Qingluan College and the world of practitioners, and living a life like an ordinary businessman in this world, he had no news about Qingluan College, and did not know how Gao Yanan, Jiang Xiaoyi and others were doing now.
I don’t know if Gu Xinyin returned to the college safely or if she was placed somewhere by Vice President Xia.
Now that he has used his soul power to such an extent, he has not been able to practice his archery skills for a long time, and he doesn't know if he has become rusty or has regressed.
…
Lin Xi knew that he would have to endure a lot of loneliness. After sighing softly, he turned around and looked at Langfang passing by the outer courtyard, as if he was waiting for someone to arrive.
A moment later, the sound of soft footsteps came, and Chen Feirong, who looked younger and wore a red cotton jacket with a furred edge, appeared in his sight.
"Sir, it seems that your cultivation has improved a lot."
Chen Feirong held an exquisite bamboo basket in her hand and walked up to Lin Xi. After Yingying bowed to Lin Xi, she smiled slightly and said: "There happened to be some blood swallow nests, so I prepared some for you.
Bring it here, you can eat it while it's hot first."
"Let's talk while eating inside."
Lin Xi nodded, took the food basket, walked into the room, took out the hot clay pot from the food basket, started eating slowly with a spoon, and then naturally looked at Chen Feirong, who was sitting opposite him, and asked:
"Is there anything difficult to resolve today?"
"Mu Zongli, the big shopkeeper of Da Sheng Gao, just came to see me and expressed his willingness to cooperate with our Da Dexiang." Chen Feirong looked at Lin Xi eating sweetly and smiled brightly, "This kind of thing, of course,
It’s up to you to decide.”
Lin Xi paused slightly, thought for a while with the spoon in his mouth, and asked: "Next, our Da Dexiang needs money, but I don't want to have anything to do with the court. If I need money, I also want to choose a clean businessman.
"
"I understand what you mean." Chen Feirong nodded and said with a smile: "Da Shenggao has a very clean background. He is a rich man from Shanyin Province, and his main clients are big business houses from Shanyin Province.
The business. But the other one of the three major banks, Datai, a wealthy nine-yuan man with a background of the Rong family, relies on the business of helping Zhongzhou Imperial City transfer treasury banknotes and official loans."
"The big shopkeeper of Dashenggao came in person, and he came before our rice and noodle business has yet to expand beyond Qixia Province. This not only shows that the other party is really sincere, but also shows that the other party really has a vision." Lin Xi continued as he continued.
While eating, he mused: "Now Da Sheng Gao's silver is much more than our Da Dexiang's. It would be inappropriate to let them invest a large amount of silver in the shares. The share is too large. Ask them if they are willing."
If they are willing to invest a small amount of money in shares or lend us a large amount of money, all decisions must still be made by us. If they are not willing, you can spend more effort and find some smaller banks. The development of Dadexiang is not limited to large banks.
Shenggao can see that those smaller banks will have to climb up the ladder, and their gambling will become more attractive, so they will not worry about not being able to raise money."
After a slight pause, Lin Xi thought of something again, and immediately said: "By the way, if Da Shenggao accepts our conditions and is willing to cooperate with our Da Dexiang, then we can reveal what we want to do in Biluo Mausoleum."
The plan to buy a large amount of land for growing grain and grazing is given to them. Biluoling has a good climate and is next to Tangzang. It will be the calmest place in Yunqin and it is safest to spend big money there. There is such a thing as opening fields to grow grain.
, the most important thing is the early investment of silver, the most fear is that the current situation is unstable, fertile farmland suddenly turns into a battlefield, people are displaced, and the layout is all in vain. A bank as big as Da Shang Gao must have better information and more accurate information than us.
It's a lot, and it's their money spent. They will definitely know better than us whether Biluoling is going to establish a province."
Chen Feirong looked at Lin Xi intently, which made Lin Xi surprised. She couldn't help but smile and said: "Sometimes I really wonder if you are a monster, sir... You have never been the shopkeeper of any business.
But he knows so many things, better than any shopkeeper who claims to be a business genius. If I didn't know your plan and heard that your rice noodle business has just started in Qixia Province, I would already want to borrow astonishing financial resources to buy land and grow grain on my own.
, and they will definitely think that you are too crazy and have taken too big a step."
"Don't worry, you won't mess with me." Lin Xi took it for granted and answered casually.
Chen Feirong was stunned for a moment, and then she thought of the meaning of this sentence. Her face suddenly turned red, "Sir, are you teasing me by saying this?" A faint smile appeared on her face when she first met Lin Xi.
With an expression on his face, he said softly: "If you really don't dislike me, I would be deeply honored to serve you."
Now Lin Xi was stunned and realized that this world was many times more conservative than the one he was familiar with before. The words he followed seemed extremely erotic and ambiguous in this world. For a moment, he was also
I couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and waved my hands repeatedly: "This is just a familiar dialect we have. Don't misunderstand me."
Chen Feirong looked at the embarrassed Lin Xi, pursed her lips and smiled for a moment, but then she became serious again and said: "Now that your reputation is getting bigger and bigger, I have heard a lot of gossip about you a few days ago.
It is said that the famous beauty of the Qin family also fell in love with you, so much so that she refused the marriage between the Xu family and the Wen family. It is also said that a young master from the Liu family also fell in love with this young lady from the Qin family, so he also married you.
Are you doing a lot of things wrong?"
"Wen family? I only know that Qin Xiyue rejected the Xu family, but the Wen family doesn't know." Lin Xi frowned slightly and shook her head, "But this has nothing to do with me. As for Liu Ziyu of the Liu family, and Qin
Xiyue and I have nothing to do with each other, and the feud is more due to some conflicts in the academy."
"It seems to be half true and half false." Chen Feirong smiled and said: "It's just that Liu Ziyu doesn't know that you are the master behind this great Dexiang, and you are asking to see me outside. Since there is something wrong with you, then I still want to see you.
not see?"
Lin Xi was a little surprised and looked at Chen Feirong in a daze, "Liu Ziyu came to see you? What does he want to do with you?"
Chen Feirong said: "Some time ago, the official audit of the Department of Civil Affairs was advanced. Your classmate seemed to have done a good job. He also filled the vacancy of someone who was purged. He was promoted a lot and served in the Department of Internal Affairs of Guangyu Province. The Liu family likes to work with him the most.
When it comes to dealing with companies, your classmate should also want to establish a good relationship with Da Dexiang, so that we can take advantage of each other."
Lin Xi thought for a while, then smiled slightly and said: "In that case, if you can give him some sweetness, give him some sweetness. Then you can also use him to do something for Da Dexiang."

(Whose debt should be paid off first in this chapter? I’m confused. Why don’t I start with Sin Fen’s Immortals and Demons Transforming into Groups? I don’t think I’ve updated this chapter before. I’ll pay off the debt first and then add it to all my book friends.
It’s just that the debt is still a bit heavy.)
