In the blink of an eye, Jiuqu Alliance became Jiuqu Province, and ten years have passed.
There may still be many disputes in other directions of the Dali Dynasty. Here in Jiuqu Province, it has been developing steadily for ten years.
When the Jiuqu League officially became the territory of the Dali Dynasty and was subsequently included in the Dali Dynasty's business and trade system, Meng Zhang still had some fantasies in his heart about whether the Taiyi Sect could catch the big ship of the Dali Dynasty and improve its trade. Make some achievements.
After all, Taiyi Sect sits on two vast territories: the Endless Sand Sea and the Demon Wind Gobi. Although it is a little barren, the territory is large and the resources are rich in variety and quantity.
What's particularly important is that after years of careful efforts by Meng Zhang, the door has already developed impressive production capabilities.
Futang, Qitang, Dantang, Yushoutang, etc. all produce rich products. Not only can it meet the needs of Taiyi Sect and Hanhai Dao Alliance, but it can also be sold externally.
Taiyi Sect has many disciples, and among them there are also talents who are good at business. After being trained intensively by the sect, he is fully capable of taking on important responsibilities.
When Jiuqu League was still there, Taiyi Sect vigorously developed its own business within Jiuqu League.
In addition to opening trading houses in various places, many caravans were also organized for back-and-forth trade.
It is a pity that when Taiyi Sect first joined the Jiuqu League, it was just a Jindan Sect. Even with the protection of True Lord Jin Li, it cannot be compared with the real Yuanshen Sect.
The development of commerce in the world of cultivation depends not only on everyone's business methods, but also on their family background and background, and when necessary, they must have strong enough force.
Taiyi Sect has worked hard to develop, but it has achieved some results.
Especially after Meng Zhang achieved Yuan Shen, he originally thought he could show off his talents.
However, the situation in the Jiuqu League changed, and the Qingyuan Sect and the Jade Sword Sect were about to break up.
Taiyi Sect had to shrink all the power of the Jiuqu Alliance in the south back to the north.
The business environment and prosperity in the north are far inferior to those in the north.
Now that the Jiuqu League has become the Jiuqu Province, Meng Zhang feels that a stable environment will definitely help business.
Meng Zhang's goals are not too high. First, he hopes to restore his previous layout in the south, and then slowly extend his commercial power to the Hengjue Mountains.
The Jiuqu Province and the Hengjue Mountains are now the territory of the Dali Dynasty. People can circulate freely and business exchanges have long been restored.
Of course, it would be perfect if one day Taiyi Sect's caravan could enter the mainland of Dali Dynasty to do business.
Meng Zhang was thinking about his wishful thinking. The commercial power from the mainland of the Dali Dynasty had already rushed in fiercely, defeating the original commercial power of the Jiuqu League like a mortal.
More abundant products, lower prices.
High-level elixirs and magic weapons that were previously rare to find in the Jiuqu League... seemed to be everywhere all of a sudden.
What do the merchants in Jiuqu League use to compete with others?
For example, Changchun Guan, a well-known alchemy sect within the Jiuqu League, was originally known for being good at refining elixirs. The various types of elixirs it produced were sold well in the north and south of the Jiuqu League.
But there were many brilliant alchemists in the Dali Dynasty.
Changchun Guan is regarded as the fundamental alchemy secret of the sect. It is not only common knowledge that everyone in the Dali Dynasty knows, but it is definitely not a master.
The elixirs that Changchun Temple can refine can be refined by others, and the cost is lower and the quality is better.
A large number of low-priced and high-quality elixirs came in, which suddenly overwhelmed the original elixir market.
Changchun Guan soon fell into the vicious cycle of buying rather than building.
The cost of refining elixirs at home is high, and the quality is not as good as others.
Every time a furnace of elixir is refined, one furnace is lost.
If it weren't for the fact that Changchun Temple itself has many elixir gardens and is self-sufficient in many elixirs, it would have gone bankrupt long ago.
Even so, Changchun Guan lost its prestige and life became much more difficult.
The original alchemists have no work to do, and the cost of training new alchemists becomes even higher.
Many people in the sect suggested that Changchun Guan should simply give up alchemy, stop training alchemists, put all its energy into cultivating and planting elixirs, and become an honest material supplier.
Anyway, merchants like Dali Dynasty were quite generous in purchasing elixirs and other materials.
Muri Zhenren, the master of Changchun Temple, is still very far-sighted. He not only refutes these people, but also strongly advocates that the tradition of Changchun Temple in alchemy must not be discarded.
There is no market outside for the elixirs refined by Changchun Temple, so they will all be digested within the sect.
In short, Changchun Temple must have the ability to refine elixirs.
Situations similar to those at Changchun Temple are happening in various places in Jiuqu Province.
However, not all leaders of the cultivation forces have the vision and courage of Changchun Guanmuri.
Many cultivators with insufficient background and poor financial resources have voluntarily given up their production capabilities and turned to operating their own spiritual fields and elixir gardens honestly, willingly becoming a material supplier.
The result of this is that the number of spiritual farmers on the borders of Jiuqu Province has greatly increased.
These merchants from the Dali Dynasty, at this time, offered high prices to recruit outstanding alchemists and weapon refiners from Jiuqu Province.
Faced with temptation, not to mention rogue cultivators, even many such talents from cultivating families and sects have fallen into the arms of the merchants of the Dali Dynasty.
Even because of the obstruction of the family and the sect, many rebellions occurred.
These merchants from the Dali Dynasty all have backers behind them.
These backers were deeply rooted in the Dali Dynasty and had strong strength. They are definitely not a bunch of newcomers who dare to offend easily.
In fact, in the face of the crazy incoming foreign trade forces, some local forces in Jiuqu Province could not compete with normal trade methods, and they also made crooked decisions.
But whether they are black or white, right or wrong, foreign powerful dragons can easily subdue these local snakes.
Facing the powerful foreign trade power, Meng Zhang's plan was stillborn before it could be implemented.
Competing head-on in the market, Taiyi Sect is not yet a rival.
Meng Zhang is not the kind of person who goes all the way to the dark side.
Since you can't fight against them, stay away from them.
Anyway, Taiyi Sect has many disciples, and the Hanhai Dao League under its control has many monks.
A large part of the elixirs and talismans produced by Taiyi Sect can be digested internally.
The excess can also be temporarily stored.
Now peace has been restored in Jiuqu Province, but who knows how long the peace can last.
Once the war started, huge amounts of elixirs, talismans and the like were consumed.
Taiyi Sect, let alone selling it to outsiders, may not be enough for one’s own use.
Moreover, the territory of Taiyi Sect is also rich in resource production. On the premise of ensuring its own use, it is completely possible to sell some resources to these merchants. There is really no need to insist on confrontation with others.
