Chapter 154: The Bai Family of Qi State
White Jade City can also be ranked in a big country like Qi State, and it is naturally a majestic city, which is even more huge and majestic than the Jade Capital City he had been to at the beginning, but Lin Xiao will no longer have the exclamation of the day, after all, his knowledge is much stronger than before.
White Jade City has a forbidden air formation, unless the monks below the sixth realm have a special ban card, otherwise they will not be able to fly in the air, once the ban is violated, they will be attacked by the entire White Jade City's protective array, and the white jade city's protective array is a sixth-order formation, and the Lingguang Ancestor can't withstand a blow, so except for the monks guarding the city, very few people can fly in the White Jade City.
Outside the White Jade City, there is a special place for the merchants to park the flying boats, and the flying boats are also different, some of the flying boats can be reduced, and the space formation is restrained, and some can not be reduced, resulting in how big is how big, at most the internal space is larger, and the cost difference between the two is very large.
The flying boat that Lin Xiao is riding now can't be reduced, so he has to go to a special place to park the flying boat, if this place is in Lin Xiao's previous life, it can become an airport.
"Master Lin, it's such a fast speed, it won't take many years for you to break through Daogang."
"Senior Sister Leng, you don't need to laugh at me, it's still early, at least fifteen or sixteen years"
"Fifteen or sixteen years, it's already very fast, and Master Lin deserves to be the first day of Tianyun Prefecture."
Condensation sighed and said, even if it is twenty years, Lin Xiao is estimated to be less than ninety years old, less than a hundred years old Daogang, that is very powerful, Yun Shaoyang of Biyunmen is famous, but he is also a Daogang who achieved it at the age of one hundred and ten, Li Changqing of the Li family in Jingzhou also broke through Daogang a few years ago, his age should be more than one hundred and twenty, and he is also famous, but Lin Xiao is unknown, but he is not worse than them.
"Tianyun Prefecture is the first day, this can't be nonsense, it will die, Senior Sister Leng"
"Don't worry, I understand, I won't talk nonsense"
"Hehe, let's go with Senior Sister Leng, how about we go have a meal together?"
Lin Xiao said with a smile, fortunately, no one boasted that he was the first genius of Lu Guo, otherwise he would really die, of course, Lin Xiao knew that if he didn't rely on the system, Zifu might not have broken through, and the real genius was his apprentice Li Muxue, and he would be scared to death when Li Muxue was exposed, and it was estimated that he would not be sixty years old when he broke through Daogang.
The group entered Baiyucheng and found a restaurant to eat, Lin Xiao, as the head, was naturally the one who invited guests, but fortunately, the price of Baiyucheng was not very expensive, and more than forty people only ate a few hundred Xuanjing.
After eating, there were already disciples of the Heavenly Saint Sect waiting at the door, and the group followed the disciple to the Heavenly Saint Sect's stronghold in White Jade City, in a small courtyard behind a teahouse.
"Disciple Bai Ziyu has seen the master"
"Ziyu doesn't have to be polite, let's sit down and talk about your situation"
"Yes, the master, after five years of operation by the disciples, Qianling wine and Baiwu tea have a certain reputation in Baiyucheng, and now through the channels of the Bai family's disciples and myself to negotiate, we supply twenty teahouses and fifty-six restaurants, and the monthly shipments have stabilized at about 30,000 bottles of Qianling wine, and the Baiwu tea that has entered the grade is in short supply, and it has been sold, and the Baiwu tea that does not enter the grade can also produce about 3,000 catties per month."
"Have you encountered any difficulties?"
"Yes, many people covet our wealth, and later I bought off a Purple Mansion elder of the Bai family who was on duty in Baiyu City at a price of two thousand Xuanjing per year, and solved these troubles, and in addition, it takes about ten thousand Xuanjing every year."
"White Jade City's corruption is so serious?"
Lin Xiao frowned, he rarely encountered corruption in places like Lu Country in Tianyun Prefecture, and the bottom line within the Heavenly Saint Sect was untouchable, so he was very shocked by the corruption here.
"Master, the permanent population of Baiyu City is at least 500,000, plus the floating population, it is estimated that there are more than 600,000 people in the city every day, there are dozens of Daogang monks, there are about 3,000 monks in Zifu, and the daily transaction volume has to exceed 100 million Xuanjing, what a lot of benefits this must be, so it is normal for the city to be mixed.
In addition, Baiyu City has a history of more than 3,000 years, and it has always been controlled by the Spirit Sword Sect and the five families, and not everyone of these six forces is not short of resources, there are quite a lot of poor disciples, and it is very normal to use power to get some benefits, as long as there is no major incident, the above will also turn a blind eye."
"I understand this, there won't be trouble on the Bai family's side, right?"
"No, the sales of Qianling Liquor and White Mist Tea are our secrets, and the Bai family doesn't know about it, and the Bai family has half of the shares of Baiyucheng, as well as hundreds of shops, and can get millions of Xuanjing benefits from Baiyucheng every year, and we can't look down on this benefit for the time being."
"Then you have to be on guard, I don't have to repeat how to do it"
"Yes, the boss has reminded us that we know how to do it"
"That's good, I brought a large number of goods this time, and you have people put them in the warehouse."
Lin Xiao nodded, the Bai family can't look down on it, it doesn't mean that a real person in the Bai family can't look down on it, the strength of the Heavenly Saint Sect is too low, and it can't affect Bai Yucheng at all, so you have to be careful.
The goods brought by Lin Xiao relieved Bai Ziyu's urgent need, and if he didn't deliver them, he really had nothing to sell here, so Bai Ziyu immediately asked people to send the goods into the warehouse and prepare to sell.
After having the reception banquet in the evening, Lin Xiao asked Bai Ziyu for more detailed information about Bai Yucheng, especially the news of the Bai family, and Bai Ziyu also told the truth.
The Bai family is a six-rank family, even compared with the Pure Yang Palace, it is not weak, it is just a few vassal forces, the number of the entire Bai family is very large, there are four or five hundred thousand mortals alone, and through the combination with immortal cultivators, the proportion of immortal cultivators in the Bai family is very high, and the number of immortal cultivators in the Bai family is about to reach 10,000.
Of course, there are actually not so many people in the Bai family, because many clansmen of the branch will leave the family to find a way out on their own, just like the ancestors of the Bai family of Chen Guo, people like this have gone out for hundreds of years I don't know how much.
And most of the clansmen who ran away were also like the Bai family of Chen Guo, the end was miserable, I don't know how many were annexed by the local forces, and there were only seven forces that could really establish the clan outside, and these seven forces all sent people back to their homes after gaining a foothold outside, seeking some external support, and the Bai family would give some support.
After all, they are all surnamed Bai, to put it mildly, if one day the Bai family is weakened or even wiped out, then these seven Bai families are the blood of the entire Bai family, and the Tao is endless.
Now the Bai family is no different from the rest of the family, the Lingguang Ancestor only grasps the general direction of the family, usually does not govern, the five Daogang monks are similar, only two Daogang monks who have lost the hope of advancing the spiritual light period sit inside and outside, and the specific mundane matters are handled by a Purple Mansion monk, that is, the patriarch of the Bai family.
The Bai family cultivates the clansmen completely in accordance with the elite model, and the talented people who are talented or alchemy refiners will be vigorously cultivated by the family, there is no shortage of resources, and they are rich, and they have to rely on the background, if your direct ancestor is a Daogang monk, or a Zifu monk who holds authority, then the life of the younger generations will be very nourishing, and all kinds of positions with oil and water are occupied by these people.
If you have no background and no talent, then life will not be easy, like an ordinary condensing vein cultivator, you can only get a thousand Xuanjing monthly income from the family every year, and simple cultivation is not very satisfying, not to mention those high-level martial arts, magic weapons and spirit runes, all of them have to find a way to earn Xuanjing by themselves, and life is only better than casual cultivation.
In fact, this is also the reason why the Bai family keeps having clansmen break away from the family and look for a way out by themselves, the top of the Bai family naturally knows about these shortcomings, but they are powerless to change, because the interests of too many people are involved, and if they are not careful, the entire Bai family will be in danger of splitting, and similarly, the rest of the families are similar.
Therefore, the Bai family can only fully support the cultivation of the elite model, and constantly improve the overall strength of the Bai family, especially the high-end strength, only in this way can the Bai family be strong, once the high-end strength can not keep up, the Bai family will have a great crisis.
"Master, I have now secretly funded sixteen poor disciples of the Bai family, there are both open veins and condensing veins, and the annual expenditure is about 10,000 Xuanjing, and now the time is short and I can't see the effect, if these people can break through to the Purple Mansion one or two, it will be of great help to our career in White Jade City.
Although there are many purple mansions in the Bai family now, most of them are not directors and have no management ability, and the people I sponsor are all from the bottom, and they will definitely be able to manage the middle and high-level when the time comes."
"Okay, you can continue to invest more in this matter, but you have to be prepared, you must get some of their handles, these handles cannot be used easily, but they must not be counterattacked"
"Understand, we are here to make money, and cooperation is mutually beneficial, as long as they don't come to annex us, they will definitely not attack them"
"Ziyu, my biggest purpose this time is to continue to open up the market of Qi State, I want Qi Country to replace the role of the Four Seas Merchant within five years, and it can't attract attention, what do you think?"
"The Four Seas Merchant only acts as an agent for 600,000 Thousand Spirit Liquor and 340,000 White Mist Tea from the Sect a year, and now I can replace the role of the Four Seas Merchants, but if it is not eye-catching, I think it should be developed outside the city, and the radius of thousands of miles near the White Jade City is very prosperous."
"Yes, you are the same as I thought, come up with a plan as soon as possible, find a way to open the market, and the four seas can't stay for long"
"Yes, boss, I will reply to you within half a month"
"Okay, find another opportunity, I'm going to visit the Bai family, I don't have to meet many high-level people, just the level of the patriarch"
"Yes, but it will take me some time to operate"
"How long"
"Within a month"
"Absolutely, I'll be here for at least a year this time"
Lin Xiao nodded, he had to disappear in the eyes of everyone in Tianyun Prefecture for a while, otherwise something would be unexplainable.
