The cultivation method of slowly absorbing aura in the early years was no longer suitable for Lin Mo now, only a strong and abundant aura could meet his daily refining needs, so he chose to use the domineering effect of the Jiuding Dragon Suction Technique to absorb the aura of Sanli Land at a peaceful speed.

In fact, Lin Mo also wanted to expand the scope and make the demand for aura in his body reach a saturated state as quickly as possible.

But if you do that, not only will all the souls within the range be affected, but the aura will also enter a state of exhaustion, and there will be no recovery in a hundred years, so you can only rely on the peaceful speed to pull the surrounding aura over little by little, in order to stabilize the balance of the aura of all parties.

After an hour of spiritual energy refining, the spiritual power in Lin Mo's body finally entered a saturated state, and the dragon pattern Dading disappeared.

"It seems that this Jiuding Dragon Suction Technique still has shortcomings, and it has to be perfected. Lin Mo muttered in his heart, and got up and walked out of the house.

When I went out, it was already nightfall, and the lights in Qingyun City were bright, and many vendors were shouting loudly about the items on the stalls.

Lin Mo hadn't seen the night scene of Qingyun City for a long time, and now he was very happy to see such a warm and lively picture, his efforts along the way were finally not in vain.

"Boss, it's time to eat!"

A shout came from behind him, Zhuo Zhen held the rice bowl, and talked while eating, like the stupid son of the landlord's family.

Lin Mo smiled and followed Zhuo Zhen to the location of the backyard, where Mu Yuzhu had already served all the prepared delicacies to the table.

"Eh, Da Zhuang has something to ask you, what do those brothers eat in normal times. Lin Mo asked.

Niu Dazhuang took a bite of rice and said vaguely: "They don't need to eat, they all rely on absorbing the aura of heaven and earth to relieve hunger, and sometimes they will open a small stove and eat some food." ”

"Oh, that's it......" Lin Mo ate absentmindedly, and if more than two thousand demon beasts relied on the aura of heaven and earth to relieve their hunger, they might be able to survive in a short time, if this was the case for a long time, it would be easy to stimulate their primitive beast nature and enter a state of rage, thus harming the residents.

Therefore, if he wants to solve this problem, Lin Mo can only start from the root cause, that is, food.

"Cheng Lan, starting tomorrow, transfer some brothers to open up land for storing grain and raising livestock, and pick out those weaker brothers to cook, so that every brother can have a hot meal. Lin Mo said.

"This ......" Cheng Lan showed an embarrassed expression, they had just settled in Qingyun City, and many things had not been handled well, so it was difficult for some strong people to do these things that consumed manpower and money.

Lin Mo saw that Cheng Lan hadn't replied for a long time, so he said what he thought. "I know that things in the city are very troublesome, and they can't be handled well in a short time, I will find a way to deal with the money, and I will also solve the food matter, you just need to calm the emotions of the brothers. ”

When he was not in charge, Lin Mo didn't know the importance of these things at all, and it wasn't until this meal when he became the lord of the city that he realized that the lord of a city was not as simple as he imagined, not only to be responsible for the safety of the city, but also to have firewood, rice, oil and salt was also a headache.

At this meal, Lin Mo casually ate a little and got off the table, and began to study the situation of the major cities, especially the Qinjiang River where Li Si was located.

The population there is much larger than that of Qingyun City, and it takes a lot of money to make everyone have a hot meal, and even if a mine of gold is dug up to fill the usual needs, it can only last for a year and a half, and it can't completely solve the problem.

"How do you let everyone eat a meal with meat on it......" Lin Mo sat in the study and studied the map, falling into deep thought.

He couldn't imagine how much food the Great Xia Dynasty would use every year, and he didn't know where the money would come from.

Thinking about it, it was late at night, Mu Yuzhu came once, and when he saw Lin Mo thinking about things, he went back to the room to rest alone.

Early the next morning.

Lin Mo sat motionless on the chair in the study with red eyes, his mind full of things about food and money.

"The Boss has been looking like he's been in a state of mind since last night, and he's still guarding that map, what's wrong with him?"

Xu Hao sighed and said helplessly: "Cheng Lan said that the boss asked him to build a granary and a vegetable garden, probably thinking about money and food." ”

At this time, Dabao ate a rock sugar gourd and walked over with a leisurely face.

"Yo, they're all waiting here, how's the boss?" Dabao said.

Zhuo Zhen and Xu Hao shook their heads at the same time and did not speak.

Seeing this situation, there was no need for them to say more, Dabao also guessed the reason why he came, Lin Mo must have been stumped by something, so he stayed in the study and didn't come out.

"Don't wait here, go back first, I'll go in and see how the boss is doing. ”

Dabao didn't pay attention to what Zhuo Zhen and Xu Hao were thinking, pushed open the door of the study and entered, seeing Lin Mo staring at the map thoughtfully, without any reaction, even if he sighed and jumped on the desk. "Boss, it's useless for you to keep staring at this broken map, it's better to go out for a walk. ”

Lin Mo raised his head slowly, his eyes were red and bloodshot, obviously caused by not sleeping all night, it was conceivable how far these things had tormented him.

"Maybe I'm wrong, it's impossible for humans and monsters to live in peace......"

This was the conclusion that Lin Mo came to after thinking about it all night, once people and demon beasts lived in peace, it would disrupt the balance of the food chain, causing a lack of food and a large population.

Dabao chuckled lightly and said lightly, "Do you know the difference between immortals and gods?"

Lin Mo shook his head and didn't speak, Dabao coughed lightly twice, and talked about the big truth seriously.

"Immortals are individual beings, their actions are not restricted, they are only controlled by the fairy world, and the gods are the rulers of the divine realm of the thirty-six heavens, with the world in their hearts, there may be one, or there may be many gods, and no one can control what they do, just because they are the strongest people at the top of this world. ”

Listening to Dabao's words, Lin Mo suddenly thought of something, since he wanted to be the city lord, he had to carry the burden, and if he didn't have this ability, he would be replaced.

"I see. Lin Mo replied lightly, closed his eyes and entered the cultivation state, and the spiritual power in his body stopped for a week, and the previous exhaustion was swept away.

Seeing this, Dabao continued to eat the rock sugar gourd and walked out of the city lord's hall, while Lin Mo began to arrange the next plan to get rich and refine the pill.

Since there is no auction house in Qingyun City, he will use this to open up business opportunities and let people from all walks of life and big families come here to spend a lot of money.

In the next two days, Lin Mo still didn't go out of the door, concentrating on refining the pill in the backyard.

Zhuo Zhen and the others did not come to disturb, and at the suggestion of Dabao, they built a towering tower, which was the auction house of Qingyun City, Lin. Chamber of Commerce.

There were still five days left before Beiqi's wedding day, and Lin Mo was refining the pill while rushing to their wedding gift.

On the sixth day, Lin Mo walked out of the compound with a tired face, went to the chamber of commerce built by Dabao, and handed over the refined seven-grade pills to him, which were full of two hundred martial pills.

", boss, you're going to send it......" Zhuo Zhen said in surprise.

According to the price of the auction house, a Zun Wu Dan can be sold for tens of millions of copper coins, and if there are two hundred, there can be 300 million copper coins, which can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need at the moment.

"Don't be poor, these pills will solve an urgent need, if you want to completely solve the root cause, you have to dig up the gold mines in the mine and buy food from other cities. Lin Mo said.

Zhuo Zhen didn't ask much, and set the opening date of the Chamber of Commerce for tomorrow, and as for the invitation, it was handed over to Mu Zichen, the most authoritative person at present.

After all, Mu Zichen is the sect master of the first major sect among the six major sects, who dares not to give him face.

Lin Mo went to Jiang's house and told Jiang Hongxi about the current situation, hoping that he could find a way to solve this problem.

"If you want to solve this problem, only by letting the only resources in your hands flow, can you create more meaningful value, such as the hottest auction house at the moment, many families do not hesitate to scatter their wealth in order to improve their cultivation in order to improve their future generations, just to stabilize their own position. ”

"Wouldn't it be advisable to trap others in the fire? ”

Jiang Hongxi smiled, patted Lin Mo's shoulder, and said earnestly: "You must know that people are not terrible, what is terrible is people's hearts, if a person has no conscience, what do you think he will do, let alone benefit the people, so if you want to be a hegemon, you have to do whatever it takes." ”

Lin Mo frowned, if he was allowed to persecute others in order to survive, this kind of food should not be wanted, but from another point of view, in this world where the strong are respected, it is not a good thing to be too merciful, Lin Zhentian has proved this.

"Mo'er, you must know that when a person is too merciful, it is not benevolence, but weakness, and anything can bring you down, just like now, you are worried about food and money, and what about other princes? Messy situation. Jiang Hongxi said.

Facing the pressure of food and money, Lin Mo didn't think about being ruthless and doing things that violated his conscience to meet his needs, but as soon as he thought of those partners who lived and died, he dispelled this idea, and he definitely couldn't be a ruthless and unrighteous person.

"Mo'er, I've said everything that needs to be said, if you don't put your mind to it, just do what you think in your heart, after all, food and money are problems that have not been solved by previous dynasties, what can you do alone?"

"Grandpa, if I really did that, would you still think I was a trustworthy family member, and what would my friends think of me? Even though I don't care about those misunderstandings, I don't want to go through the ...... anymore."

Lin Mo lowered his head, feeling very helpless, he thought that there was nothing to stump him, but now he was stumped by these trivial things.

Jiang Hongxi could see that Lin Mo was a kind child, and it was indeed a little difficult for him to be an unscrupulous hero.

"Actually, there is another way to solve this situation, that is, robbing the rich to help the poor, the rich in this world are very rich, and the poor are very poor, with your means and kindness, this is the best solution. Jiang Hongxi said.

Thinking of the method of robbing the rich and helping the poor, Lin Mo woke up like a dream, yes, how could he forget about this matter, he couldn't do things that violated his conscience, but he wouldn't be soft-hearted when dealing with those wicked people.

"Thank you Grandpa, I think I know what to do. Lin Mo anxiously left the Jiang family and rushed to Qingyun City.

Jiang Hongxi smiled bitterly and shook his head, his heart is too kind, and it is never a good thing.
