Thinking that this might be a way to make money, Lu Zhong called Xia He over and told him his idea.
"Master, this..." Xia He's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he immediately took away the vat of spiritual dew.
After cleaning up the alchemy room, Lu Zhong came to the front yard.
Cultivation requires relaxation and moderation. He was not interested in seeking excitement outside. He thought it would be better to lie on the Taishi chair and sip tea quietly. By the way, he could also summarize his experience in purifying spiritual materials for the past half month.
As soon as he lay down, a maid came over with tea.
Either rubbing your legs or rubbing your shoulders, it's extremely comfortable.
After taking a sip of "Zhu Mei Jade", Lu Zhong sighed at his "corruption" and "degeneration". He still remembered that when he was in Qingliuxu, he had to wash and cook by himself. How could he not have clothes and food like now? He who opens his mouth needs someone to serve him in everything.
"The more corrupt days like this, the better."
He is very satisfied with his current life.
“I still need to find some time to go outside and take a walk!”
Lu Zhong thought silently in his heart, having entered the gray fog space, began to look through his memories, and examined the purification process from a different perspective to see if he could find any errors or omissions so that he could correct them in time.
After a long while, he quit.
This careful inspection really gave him a lot of gains. After digesting these experiences and insights, he can purify the spiritual dew of higher purity in the future.
It’s time for the lights to come on outside.
In his arms, there was also a warm and fragrant nephrite.
You don't need to look to know that it must be Li Hejun, but the two concubines don't have the courage. .
Lu Zhong fiddled with him a few times without hesitation, and the latter's body trembled like an electric shock.
"Old... Master, I have something to report." Li Hejun managed to hold down his dishonest hand and breathed heavily.
Lu Zhong withdrew his hand, performed a cleaning technique to clean it, and picked up a cup of tea on the table. Xia He made it according to his idea. After taking a sip, it tasted really good, and then he said slowly:
"What's the matter?"
"That's it..." Li Hejun's face became solemn when he said this, and his eyebrows almost connected. "The Chengde Chamber of Commerce sent a note the day before yesterday, explicitly requesting a 50% stake in Lintao Pavilion, otherwise the supply of goods will be cut off."
Lintao Pavilion focuses on formation talismans, but that doesn't mean it doesn't sell other things.
In order to attract more customers, it is necessary to enrich the shelves, and the Chengde Chamber of Commerce was Lu Zhong's previously selected partner. The goods they provide can meet the needs of Lintao Pavilion.
vertex
Hearing this, Lu Zhong frowned slightly.
Fighting outside, facing life and death, facing open swords and open guns, running a shop to obtain cultivation resources, but it is not easy to get anywhere, there are also cold arrows and hidden guns that need to be resisted.
Lintao Pavilion's business is booming right now, so it's no surprise that jackals are watching.
I just didn't expect that even though I was in the middle stage of foundation building, I would still encounter such malicious intentions.
I couldn't help but feel strange in my heart.
"What the hell is going on?" Lu Zhong remembered that Chengde Chamber of Commerce valued goodwill very much, otherwise he would not have chosen it as a supplier in the first place, so how could he suddenly break his skin and do such a slanderous thing.
"It's an internal struggle for power within the chamber of commerce!" Li Hejun did some research and replied with certainty.
The Chengde Chamber of Commerce has a high status in the port city. Although it is not as good as those large chambers of commerce involved in the East China Sea route, it also controls many weapon refining and alchemy workshops and has its own production base of basic raw materials. Therefore, among the small chambers of commerce, It can also be called strong.
The problem lies with Zhang Hai, the president of the Chengde Chamber of Commerce.
Zhang Hai was a talented man who entered the Lu family, the former owner of the Chamber of Commerce, as his son-in-law. However, he succeeded in taking over the Chengde Chamber of Commerce as his own. In order to run the Chamber of Commerce to a higher level, he was no longer satisfied with the profits from the supply of goods, so he did not hesitate to spend more money. A fleet was formed with the intention of entering the more profitable East China Sea route and seeking to obtain huge profits from sea trade.
Just like a storage bag, this item cannot be made by the southern barbarians. It involves the secret of space and must be imported from China.
Take a half-square storage bag as an example. According to classic records, the price in Middle-earth was no more than ten spirit stones. But in Nanman, the price skyrocketed, rising to three digits.
Such as this, there are also a large number of spiritual objects such as spiritual contracts.
Going to the Middle-earth via the East China Sea is the main, or the only, way for Nanman monks to go to the Middle-earth.
Although the Southern Barbarians and the Middle Earth are connected on land, they are separated by the towering Hantian Plateau. Even in the ancient pioneering era of the human race, it was a hopeless chasm that was difficult to climb and full of dangers.
Even the ancient human race, who transformed into gods like clouds, could only choose to open a route to the East China Sea, and with the help of a large number of islands scattered like a chain of beads in the vast East China Sea, they were able to land in the barbaric land in the south far away from the Middle Earth.
After overcoming thorns and thorns, the current Southern Barbarian cultivation world was established.
It is definitely not an easy task to open up the East China Sea route to obtain resources from China.
If a monk wants to go to Middle-earth, he can take a sea ship as long as he has spirit stones. The fleets of the Great Chamber of Commerce on the East China Sea route basically have such services. But if he wants to bring back goods from Middle-earth, he will have to contact the Great Chamber of Commerce. interests, and therefore encountered rejection.
The Great Chamber of Commerce controls the East China Sea route, so naturally it does not want anyone to take a share of the pie.
Not only is he unwilling, he will even attack.
To get involved in East China Sea trade, in addition to dealing with attacks by sea beasts along the way, you also have to face the malicious intent from the large chambers of commerce.
Those who come after will either form a powerful armed fleet to fight against the raids of the large merchant guild fleets, and use force to carve out their own share of the maritime trade cake.
Or find another way and try to open a new route.
Zhang Hai chose to open up a new route, and as a result, he and his ship perished in the cold water.
As soon as he left, the Chengde Chamber of Commerce was immediately in turmoil.
"Now three factions of the Chengde Chamber of Commerce are fighting for power. They are Zhang Miao, the son of Zhang Hai who is now the acting president of the Chamber of Commerce; Yu Feng'er, the former owner of the Chengde Chamber of Commerce and a Taoist companion of Zhang Hai; and Lin Fangyun, the chief deacon of the Chamber of Commerce, and Xiang Lintao. The person who sent the note was Lin Fangyun. It is said that this person was at a disadvantage in the struggle for power, so he began to use all means to gather strength and prepare for the last fight."
Li Hejun will tell you all the information he knows.
Lintao Pavilion suffered a disaster this time.
After Lu Zhong listened, he closed his eyes and thought.
The importance of Lintao Pavilion to him is self-evident, and he can earn at least 300,000 to 50,000 spiritual stones in net profit every year. I am currently learning alchemy, and just purchasing spiritual materials for training requires a large amount of spiritual stones.
Therefore, there is no room for error in Lintao Pavilion.
After much deliberation, it was still cost-effective to switch to a different supplier.
Although the spiritual stones earned will be less, it is still better than being controlled by others.
At worst, it's just a matter of touching the old foundation.
At this time, the maid came to tell him that Zhang Miao came to visit.
"What is he here for? Is it necessary to win over me?" Lu Zhong was confused, but he still got up and prepared to go to the living room to meet the other party and understand the other party's intention.
Moving to the living room, I saw a young master Qianqian dressed in white, who was in the early stages of foundation building.
It was Zhang Miao, acting president of the Chengde Chamber of Commerce.
