"Finally home."
Chu Liang raised his hand and fired a sword energy, easily killing the wine jar monster in the river, and a sense of fulfillment suddenly came to his heart.
Although he has now become the richest man in Shushan, he still enjoys the feeling of working hard to kill monsters. From the lantern monster at the beginning, to the poisonous bee, the black hair ball, the wine jar monster...
This feeling of collecting items bit by bit is really addictive.
Since the appearance of the wine jar monster, the black fur ball has not appeared for a long time, but Chu Liang doesn't care. The berry orchard is now large enough to be self-sufficient. As long as you don't want to expand production, you can develop slowly like this.
The incense of enlightenment is the top priority now.
Now the Zuiling Flower Field is not large in scale, only a small flower bed, and not many leaves can be picked every day. Although more and more Enlightenment Incense is being produced, it still cannot meet the internal needs of the Shushan Sect.
After all, this kind of hard currency that actually helps in cultivation cannot be compared to berries. Although the price of Enlightenment Incense is much more expensive than berries, compared with other heavenly materials and earthly treasures that help enlightenment, it can only be described as being close to the people.
Therefore, every time a batch of Enlightenment Incense is put on the market, it will immediately attract a frenzy of looting from Shushan people. As for the other disciples of the Immortal Sect who came here because of its fame, many wanted to buy the Incense of Enlightenment, but found that there was no such thing.
Of course, this kind of resources must be provided first for one's own family.
Wen Yulong couldn't refine it by himself, so he simply learned from Chu Liang and hired two senior brothers from Chuanjian Hall at a high price to help refine the incense of enlightenment. Chu Liang was very pleased to see this move. It seemed that Junior Brother Wen had the consciousness to be the boss.
The current level of development in Shushan is not high enough, so Shushan disciples are still needed to do this kind of production work. I believe that in a few years, these dirty and hard work of production can be completely outsourced to other small immortal sects, and Shushan disciples can just concentrate on their cultivation.
Even if they don't practice and just lie there doing nothing, they can still receive high welfare benefits to support them.
And all this will be attributed to the primitive accumulation made by Chu Liang's generation.
"Huh?"
Chu Liang brushed up one by one along the river, and when he reached the last wine jar monster, he suddenly found that another one was missing.
Why do the wine jar monsters disappear every time I don’t use them for a few days?
Chu Liang slowly frowned.
This abominable wine jar thief has already stolen two wine jar monsters... causing huge losses to himself.
unacceptable!
But why only steal one?
Besides, if others don’t have the White Tower to exchange for rewards, there’s no point in stealing this thing, right?
Chu Liang began to think about another possibility. The wine jar monster seemed to be able to accumulate Yin Qi. Could it be that when the Yin Qi was full, there would be any changes? Will leave here or develop intelligence...
After thinking about it, he decided to keep the last wine jar monster and put a traveling talisman on it.
In this way, he can sense the location of the wine jar monster at any time.
See where it ends up.
…
The next day, news came from Wuliang Palace, asking Chu Liang to go there.
Naturally, Master Wen Yuan wanted to see him.
Chu Liang didn't know what was going on, so he quickly put down what he was doing and hurried over. In the quiet room of Wuliang Palace, the four great mountain-holding elders were all inside, looking at themselves with smiles on their faces.
"Master in charge, elders." Chu Liang greeted them one by one.
"Red cotton peak has been developing well recently." Master Wen Yuan began to praise, "I was a little worried when I entrusted the mountain to you, but now it seems that I am overly worried. You are very safe in handling things."
"It's all due to the master's good leadership, and the help of all the elders is indispensable." Chu Liang smiled modestly, "The disciples only play an errand role in it."
Master Wen Yuan smiled and shook his head: "You deserve the credit, and Shushan is not in the business of flattering the teacher."
Even though you say this, you still smile happily... Chu Liang thought silently in his heart.
"I heard that a few days ago, you let Taotie City acquire 10% of the property? Did you directly share the property with them?" At this time, the elder Chuanjian on the side said directly, "It doesn't matter, right?"
So that’s what I wanted to ask about.
Chu Liang smiled and replied: "It's okay. The agreement with Taotie City only stipulates a period of ten years, which is the period during which Hongmian Peak will still be under the jurisdiction of the disciples. When the ten years are over, Hongmian Peak will no longer be under the control of the disciples. That’s it, the cooperation with Taotie City ends here.”
"But I heard that you also promised something... a gambling agreement?" Elder Dan Ding also asked, "If you don't make money by then, you will have to bear a debt of 600,000 yuan..."
He hesitated for a moment, as if he was too embarrassed to continue, but Elder Si Lu said directly: "If you can't repay the money by then, they will definitely ask the Shushan Sect to ask for it. Is this approach unconscionable?"
"It's normal for the elders to be worried." Chu Liang said: "I'm just waiting for things to settle down before explaining to you. There is absolutely no problem with this part."
"Oh?" Several elders expressed their willingness to hear the details.
"Because I won't just invest in the Taotie City family. There may be three or four more companies in the future. If the capital scale is small, there may be more. I only need to retain the maximum part of the power. As long as the amount of subsequent capital injection is sufficient If we cover the debt of 600,000 Suzaku coins, then we will definitely make a profit without losing money. When our Hongmian Peak prospers, the owners who will enter the market later will inject more funds, and the conditions will not be so harsh, no There will be another betting agreement."
Chu Liang explained to them in detail.
"It's just tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall?" The guardian elder was the first to understand, and immediately said: "In that case, doesn't it mean that we can go on forever? As long as we keep bringing in new funds, and then make up for the previous shortfalls, even if these businesses It’s okay if it’s all a loss…as long as we tell the outside world that we’re making money.”
Oops.
The guardian elder is okay. He is indeed the person who has read the most in Shushan. Chu Liang recognized it in his heart.
So quickly I thought of the possibility of being sentenced to more than seven years.
"You can't act like this." Master Wen Yuan pondered and shook his head. "It's definitely not the right way to focus on craftsmanship instead of production. Sooner or later, Snowball will be unable to push it, and Shushan will become the public enemy of the world."
"The elder protector is indeed very resourceful, and the master's structure is admired by the disciples." Chu Liang praised him, and then said: "The development of Hongmian Peak is the most important thing. Now that the first step has been taken, the disciples That’s the confidence.”
"The elders and I are also very optimistic about you." Master Wen Yuan nodded slightly and said: "Actually, if you are short of funds, Shanmen can also provide you with help."
Upon hearing this, Chu Liang immediately understood the real purpose of calling him here today.
The so-called "providing help" is nothing more than seeing that Taotie City can make money by injecting capital. The senior officials of Shushan wanted to inject capital in the same way, but they didn't say it so straightforwardly.
Just because Red Cotton Peak is doing well and Taotie City is making money from its investment, the elders also want to get involved.
After all, Hongmian Peak still belongs to Shushan, and Chu Liang has been borrowing Shushan's credibility. It is indeed unjustifiable that all the money has been taken away by outsiders.
Chu Liang blinked when he heard this, the smile on his face remained unchanged, and he immediately waved his hand and replied: "No need."
The elders were all about to show expressions of relief, but at this moment they suddenly paused: "Huh?"
