They asked Li Yucheng and others to rest, and Li Qingfeng came to the meeting hall alone.
Not long after, the door of the meeting hall was pushed open, and the person who came was Li Qingdong. He walked straight to Li Qingfeng and sat down, asking as he walked: "How is it?"
"It should be almost done."
Li Qingfeng nodded, stretched out his hand to pour a cup of spiritual tea for each of them, and said: "According to Ah Fu, the number and intensity of conflicts between Jinding Sect and Yugui Sect are decreasing, and there are also fewer monks in the patrol team. , Xia Zixiong is often absent from the team, and most of the time he goes to negotiate. If he leaves now, he may have reached an agreement."
"This is best."
Hearing these words, Li Qingdong let out a breath, and the brows that had been secretly frowning since the Jindingmen monks finally relaxed a little.
During this year's conflict, the Li family followed Li Qingfeng's instructions and tried their best to meet the various basic material requirements put forward by the Jinding Sect. To this day, they can no longer afford it.
To be honest, probably because of Li Qingfeng's status as a foundation-building monk, the materials requested by the Jinding Sect each time are actually not that much. But the problem is that the Li family is not a big force with a deep foundation! Provide some today, provide some tomorrow, and add up a little, and the little assets the Li family has accumulated through smuggling and shops over the years have basically been completely consumed in this year's conflict.
It can be said that if this conflict continues with the previous intensity, I am afraid that Li Qingfeng will use his crooked brains and take risks to do some business without capital.
As the acting head of the Li family, he was also in charge of the Li family's treasury in the past few months. Li Qingdong was under great pressure during this period. Every day he closed his eyes and took inventory of the treasury. When he opened his eyes, he had to prepare supplies. The supplies in the warehouse were getting less and less day by day, and he was so worried that his hair almost turned gray.
Because of this, after hearing Li Qingfeng's answer, Li Qingdong was glad that the conflict had finally come to an end, but on the other hand his mind was already spinning: "Qingfeng, should we find time to let go of the things captured from the clan? Yuxiang and the others go to Fangshi to deal with it?"
The Li family did not gain nothing from this year's conflict. They still gained some profits such as magic weapons, talismans, elixirs, etc. Although the quantity is not large, due to the turmoil in the past year or so, the prices of such immortal cultivation materials have risen sharply. If you take this opportunity to sell them, you can make a good profit and give the Li family some breathing space. One breath.
"Well... don't worry, just wait."
Li Qingfeng shook his head: "The situation is not clear yet. The last letter between Liu Xianzi and me also said that there was unrest in Da'anfang City... Wait a minute, our clan's expenses are not big, so we really need to rush to Zuo Ni's side. He must be more anxious than us, and if the situation becomes stable, he will definitely find a way to contact us."
Hearing the words "it doesn't cost much", Li Qingdong shook his hand holding the tea cup and almost spilled the spiritual tea. He couldn't help but secretly murmur in his heart: Doesn't it cost much? It's so easy to say this. How about you take charge of Daku? The expenses just to support your cultivation are not small!
Seeing him like this, how could Li Qingfeng not know what the other person was thinking? He couldn't help but feel happy, and after thinking for a while, he said: "But what you said makes sense. There should be a patrol team from Jinding Gate coming in a while. They will inquire about it then. If the situation is stable, I will go to Da'anfang City. , I happen to have a few prepared formations on hand to see if I can deal with them."
In fact, the Li family has their own store in Jindingshanfang City. Logically speaking, selling things in their own store is the best choice. However, since the conflict intensified, the Jinding Sect has increased its control over the materials for cultivating immortals. As long as the materials are sold in Jindingshanfang City, an additional commercial tax must be paid. Some fighting materials can only be priced by the Jinding Sect. Purchase monopoly.
After this, the original 10% of the sales revenue will be shaved off by at least 12%. This is still the sales revenue, regardless of costs. If it is counted as net profit, the proportion will be even higher.
Although the prices of these materials are currently skyrocketing, and even if one layer is shaved off, he still earns more than before, Li Qingfeng still wants to earn more. Da'anfang City is not a special place for Jinding Sect, and there are not so many rules of this kind. It just so happens that he also wants to talk to people from the Shi family in Banyue Mountain to see if he can buy a batch of materials needed by the Li family at a relatively favorable price. .
"Huh...okay."
Seeing Li Qingfeng relent, Li Qingdong breathed a sigh of relief, quickly nodded in agreement, took a sip of the spiritual tea and drank it. No matter what, it's always good to have some income, otherwise the Li family's treasury is really going to get rid of the rats.
Li Qingfeng gave him a refill with a smile and asked: "I know you are working hard, how are you, but you are a little tired with the responsibility of managing the warehouse? How is Xiuxiang?"
"It's not a big deal to be in charge of the big treasury at the same time. It's just that these Yue Clan people are in and out of things. It's really hard to think about these things all the time..."
Li Qingdong waved his hand, picked up the tea cup and drank it in one gulp. When he heard Wen Xiuxiang's name, his face finally relaxed a little, and there was a smile on his face: "She is fine, she is not happy, she is just not busy." When she comes down, she always wants to run to the alchemy room, but I can’t help her temper... Hey, I might as well let her go!"
Yes, several years after getting married, with the joint efforts of both parties, Wen Xiuxiang finally became pregnant with Li Qingdong's child. She is now more than four months old and slightly pregnant.
Just because she was pregnant, Li Qingdong was worried that she would be overworked, so he took over the responsibility of managing the warehouse from her, allowing her to raise her baby with peace of mind. But Wen Xiuxiang couldn't take any time off at all. She always liked to run to the alchemy room when she had nothing to do. It was better when she didn't show her pregnancy earlier, but now her belly has grown and it's still the same. Moreover, she was very eloquent. Every time Li Qingdong mentioned this matter, she would use Li Qingfeng's words to refute, saying that the so-called wealthy couples are in the right place, and the importance of alchemy to the family was extraordinary; she also said that she knew her own health, so Li Qingdong Help her take good care of the warehouse. Li Qingdong has no choice but to let her go.
"Ah, that's really... I'll tell you about her some time."
Li Qingfeng said this, but he couldn't help but feel funny in his heart. You know, Li Qingdong has been the acting head of the family for so many years. He is in charge of a group of Li family monks and thousands of mortals. He has gained some momentum, but he is still eaten to death by Wen Xiuxiang, not to mention that Wen Xiuxiang is now pregnant. He couldn't do anything to the other party.
The two chatted for a few words and then turned the topic to the daily affairs of the Li family during the year.
Every time after Li Qingfeng came out of seclusion, he would ask Li Qingdong to tell him about the daily affairs of the Li family during his seclusion, mainly the current cultivation status of each tribe, the planting of spiritual fields, and matters related to mortal territories, etc. This time he was about to greet Xia Zixiong as soon as he came out of seclusion. He hadn't asked him carefully yet, so he wanted to ask now.
There is nothing worth saying about the cultivation status of the clan members. Only Li Yucheng's breakthrough to the fourth level of Qi training is worth mentioning. The others are all changes in the cultivation level in the early stage of Qi training. There was nothing wrong with the spiritual field. The same "ice-cup" was planted as before. However, Li Qingdong mentioned a few more things about mortal matters.
Perhaps because of the abduction of the Wangjiacun clan elder last year, a large number of Wangjiacun villagers have gone south this year. Especially after this year's New Year, the number of people going south has been much higher than before. Li Qingfeng asked about the relevant situation, and Li Qingdong only said that he had sent someone to make arrangements, and the monks of the Li family were responsible for the organization and management. Even if there were some conflicts between the local residents and those who went south, there would not be any big problems.
There is another thing worth mentioning. When the caravan led by Li Qingyuan returned from Lijia Village in Xinan a few months ago, there were a few more villagers from the village in the caravan, who came to meet the so-called "immortal". Of course, Li Qingdong and others did not disappoint them. They showed off some magic skills and presented some spiritual wheat as gifts, making the villagers kowtow to express their gratitude.
At present, the relationship between those villages and the Li family is considered good. If it can continue to develop at this momentum, in less than five or six years, the Li family may be able to send people to their villages to hold an immortal ceremony. If the roads are repaired, some carriages are added to facilitate travel, etc., maybe within ten years, the Li family will be able to establish basic rule in those villages.
