Chapter Ninety-One: The Golden Mountain—Snake Yang Vine

Although the interior of Teng County looks chaotic, and all kinds of power struggles are very intriguing.

However, these have nothing to do with Yan Kui, he came here to recruit soldiers, and most of them are produced by his own system, so he can't have anything to do with this group of people in Tengxian County.

If it weren't for Liu Qiniang and Yan Kui, who sent the system soldiers, he wouldn't even come to Teng County.

Yan Kui returned to the post house specially prepared for him by the Teng County Government, took a sip of tea, cleared his mind after speaking official words for a long time, and reported to the guards.

They had already "asked" the reason for their beating from the two men brought by the official road, and this matter was related to Guo Fu............

It turned out that the Guo family was a well-known big family in Teng County, and it was not an exaggeration to even call it the richest man in the county.

The reason why the Guo family is so wealthy, in addition to opening a lot of shops in the county, is that the Guo family monopolizes the specialty of Teng County-Snake Yang Vine.

This snake yang vine is a kind of medicinal plant, the function is to nourish the yuan and aphrodisiac essence, the curative effect is excellent, by most of the men in the Northern Jin Dynasty sought after, the value is very expensive, there is a foot of yang vine ten taels of silver.

The reason why this snake yang rattan is expensive is because it is extremely difficult to grow and requires a special environmental climate, and this kind of climate and environment is only available in Teng County in the Northern Jin Dynasty, and even in Teng County, there are only a few places where snake yang rattan can be cultivated.

Not to mention the small places where only a few roots can be planted, there are two largest planting areas, one is the White Snake Valley, and the other is the Snake Yang Valley bought by the Guo family.

………

White Snake Valley is a den of bandits, and although the snake vines in it are also sold out by bandits, the paths taken are relatively mixed, and the channels for selling are high and low.

In addition, the interior of the White Snake Valley is still dominated by robbery, and the snake yang vine is extremely difficult to grow, and these short-tempered bandits rarely have the patience to cultivate carefully, so the snake yang vine produced by the White Snake Valley is not only scarce in quantity but also low in quality, and it is difficult to compete with the Guo family goods who take care of the snake yang valley carefully.

Over time, the Guo family bought several other places where snake vines could be planted, and occupied the entire snake yang rattan market in Guanmian, and only a part of the goods produced by the White Snake Valley did not hinder the overall situation because of problems such as quantity and quality.

Relying on this snake yang vine, the Guo family has made a lot of money, and its influence in Teng County has also expanded, first becoming the richest man in the county, and now it is slowly beginning to show signs of being the first strong in the entire Teng County.

Just when the Guo family was thriving, they suddenly heard a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Jin San, a famous snake in Teng County, and accidentally found a place suitable for planting snake yang vines, although the area is not as good as that of snake yang valley, but it is not much worse.

Now the Guo family panicked, Jin San is different from the bandits in the White Snake Valley, those bandits don't know how to plant, and their identities are sensitive, so they don't have to worry.

But Jin San is different, this old fox is known for his treachery, and he has taken root in Teng County for many years, and his connections are not inferior to the Guo family.

So, even if the two sides didn't have a grudge before, from the time Jin San wanted to plant the snake yang vine, the two families became mortal enemies.

It has nothing to do with enmity and enmity, it is completely a matter of interests that cannot be encroached upon by others............

…………

Since then, the Guo family and Jin Sanming have been fighting in secret, the Guo family is rich, and there are many official forces to make friends, while Jin Sanlu has many people and a wide range of contacts, and there is a group of green forest outlaws under his hands, which makes the Guo family a little jealous.

The two families have each other's strengths and weaknesses, so the situation gradually stalemate, until a few days ago, Guo Fu, the eldest young master of the Guo family, went to Snake Yang Valley to inspect the situation of the new batch of snake yang vines, and accidentally found a snake king yang vine.

This kind of snake king yang vine is a treasure in the snake yang vine, the curative effect is amazing, there is no one in a thousand, each one is worth thousands of taels of silver, it is a real inch of vine and every inch of gold.

Guo Fu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took this snake Wang Yangteng home to report the good news to his father Guo Shouyun, but halfway through, he was actually known by Jin San's son Jin Jie.

This Jin Jie is also wonderful, after getting the letter, he actually took a group of subordinates halfway, pretending to be a masked thief to rob this snake yang vine, and beat Guo Fu violently by the way.

How can you hide it from the Guo family now, Teng County is so big, everyone knows what is going on, Jin Jie can find out that the Guo family got the snake king Yang Teng, and the Guo family can also know who did it.

The snake king Yang vine worth thousands of taels was robbed, and his own eldest young master was beaten violently, how could the Guo family, who had been smooth sailing in Teng County for so many years, swallow this breath, that night, the head of the Guo family, that is, Guo Fu's father Guo Shouyun personally led the team, ran to the place where Jin San planted the snake yang vine, and burned all the snake yang vines that Jin San had just cultivated.

Now the feud is bigger.

Jin Sanye, who got all the snake yang vines he planted, was furious, and without saying a word, he led his subordinates to smash the Guo family's shop in the county town at night, and the Guo family was not to be outdone, and sent his family to attack the Qinglou and gambling house under Jin San's name.

The two sides fought in the county seat, except for killing people and setting fires, they had no scruples.

……………

If it was changed to the county seat of Tong'an, there were so many groups of people in the city who were so arrogant, and the county government would have sent troops to suppress it, but the county government of Tengxian County has always been cowardly, and the leader of the county order is not there.

In the face of the riots in the city, the entire county government officials only sent a dozen officials to warn, and there was no punishment for Jin San and the Guo family.

The inaction of the county government of Tengxian County made Jin San and the Guo family, who still had some scruples, even more relaxed.

The next day, the Guo family contacted Liu Liang, the head of the in-laws, and seized all the transactions of Jin San, and Jin San was even more desperate, and directly sent his own Green Forest outlaws to attack Guo's mansion.

Later, seeing that things were out of control again, now the biggest official of the Tengxian County Ya, County Cheng Mingxing, finally remembered the responsibilities of the government, called Guo Shouyun and Jin San, and asked the two to stop the war immediately and not to cause any more incidents.

Guo and Jin were forced by the pressure of the government and had to agree, but this is only on the surface, and there are still small frictions between the two sides in private, and the two people arrested by Yan Kui on the road are one of these small frictions.

…………

After listening to the guard's advice, Yan Kui was interested in letting his subordinates go out and buy himself a little snake yang vine.

Don't get me wrong, Yan Kui didn't use this thing for medicinal purposes, he was in good health, he asked people to buy this snake yang vine, but wanted to see what this troublesome thing looked like.

It didn't take long for the guards to hold a half-foot-long rattan stem and put it in front of Yan Kui, Yan Kui picked it up and looked at it a few times, this snake yang vine is purple and golden, about the thickness of a baby's thumb, and the texture is tough, Yan Kui got close and smelled it, there is an indescribable smell on this vine, it is not smelly or fragrant, it is a faint fishy smell, a bit like ...... Right...... The smell of the snake.

Yan Kui, who was born as a hunter, closed his eyes and thought for a while, remembered what this fishy smell looked like, and then looked at the vine stem shaped like a lying coiled snake, and smiled.

"No wonder there's a snake in the name."

Holding this snake yang vine about half a foot long, Yan Kui turned his head to look at Qin Wei and asked for the price, and Qin Wei answered honestly.

"My subordinates bought it in a pharmacy, and the shopkeeper said that this rattan was of the highest quality, so he received twelve taels of silver from his subordinates."

The half-foot-long snake yang vine can be sold for twelve taels!

Yan Kui's eyes lit up suddenly, no wonder the Guo family and Jin San tore so hard for this thing, this is a damn gold mine, someone digs his own gold mine, and I have to tear it with him in exchange for me.

But.........

Yan Kui looked at the snake yang vine in his hand, and a fine light flashed in his eyes.

Now that he is preparing his own intelligence network, he is worried that the cost of establishing an intelligence organization is too great, and he is running out of money, so can he find a way to make a fortune in it?

It is best to take down a base for planting snake yang vines, so that he has a steady stream of gold, and he doesn't have to worry about money and food in a short time............
