Chapter 9: Assembling a team

In the camp tent somewhere in the caravan, Fang Zheng opened his eyes with the yuan in his hand as slag.

It's been a week since Fang Zheng joined the caravan.

A week ago, Fang Zheng quickly integrated into the caravan without spending much effort with the cultivation of the fourth turn.

Not only that, but Founder was also warmly received by the caravan.

After the Jia family and many chambers of commerce hosted a big banquet, the leaders of each family invited Fang Zheng to participate in a private banquet, and there was even an invitation from Shang Xinci.

However, Fang Zheng shirked these small banquets and chose to live in the Jia family's camp temporarily.

For Fangzheng's choice, the Jia family was naturally happy, and the arrival of Fang Zheng was extremely enthusiastic.

Fang Zheng's ability to have such a good treatment is naturally because of his own cultivation, Fang Zheng, as a four-turn powerhouse, is still a solitary casual cultivator, and there is no one who the lord of power does not want to please.

If they can absorb Fangzheng, their family power can be greatly improved.

In this way, Fang Zheng practiced in the caravan.

"After the refinement of the wine worm and the addition of the Yuan Stone, the Bright Gold True Yuan on the body has now returned to seven."

In the temporary tent, feeling the Yuan Shi consumed during this time, Fang Zheng couldn't help but be a little worried.

During this time, Fang Zheng used wine worms to refine the true yuan to cultivate, plus he also had to supply medicinal music, and he had no time to recover the light gold true yuan at all, so he could only supplement it with yuan stones.

In addition to cultivation, feeding a large number of Gu worms every day also consumes a lot of Yuan Stones, and after refining Gu Worms a few times, these Yuan Stones disappear little by little.

"Every day, a large amount of additional Yuan Stone is consumed, but it is not replenished at all."

"Although I have enough wealth to support my cultivation for a while, it is not a way to continue like this. Although his wealth is huge, if he keeps sitting like this, the wealth he has accumulated will be exhausted sooner or later. ”

In the big tent, Fang Zheng's mind was spinning.

Fang Zheng has a lot of wealth, and a single unit stone is as much as three million yuan of stone. In addition to the Yuan Stone, Fang Zheng also has a lot of Gu worms from the White Bone Mountain, and after it is sold, it is also nearly a million Yuan Stone.

But so much wealth is now only consumed, not harvested, and it is difficult to support it for a long time.

Fang Zheng now spends dozens of yuan stones every day just for his cultivation.

And that's just a small head, and it costs more to buy supplies.

Now that Fang Zheng is cultivating in four turns, only the four turns Gu worm can use it easily.

Refining a four-turn Gu worm requires nearly 10,000 yuan stones to be invested every time.

If you succeed, it's okay to say, but if you fail, you will go straight to the water.

It is possible for the ordinary four-turn Gu worm to fail three or four times.

If there are some difficult strong horizontal Gu worms, it will be difficult to succeed without seven or eight times.

As for why Fang Zheng's Hundred-Eyed Wine Worm and Golden Branch Jade Leaf Gu succeeded at one time, Fang Zheng could only attribute it to his own good luck.

"Even if you have three million yuan stones, if you can't get in and out, I'm afraid you won't be able to last long."

"And with the improvement of cultivation, I need more and more Yuan Stones."

"These Yuan Stones will last for three or four years at most, and this is only when they are still four turns."

Fortunately, in three years, Fang Zheng did not have the confidence to cultivate to the fifth turn.

Fang Zheng is not a pervert like the Phoenix Immortal Prince, it took two years to rise from the fourth to the fifth peak, and he was only eighteen years old and was a powerhouse at the peak of the fifth turn.

Fang Zheng estimated that he would reach the fifth turn, and with the help of the Hundred-Eyed Wine Worm, it was estimated that it would take four years.

If you can deduce the promotion Gu Fang of the Hundred-Eyed Wine Insect, it is estimated that it will take about seven years to reach the peak of the fifth turn from the fifth turn. If it can't be deduced, it may take nearly twenty years for Founder.

In other words, if there is no chance.

The age at which Fang Zheng reached the peak of the fifth turn should be about forty-two years old. If good luck pushes the five-turn Gu recipe of the wine worm, the age at which Fang Zheng reaches the peak of the five-turn is thirty years old.

Of course, it is in the absence of other external forces.

There are also many Gu worms in this world that assist in cultivation, such as the Relic Gu, and if you get the Relic Gu, this time can also be shortened.

Of course, this time may also be extended, such as not having cultivation resources, such as being injured and declining in cultivation, etc., these are all uncertain.

"These Yuan Stones of your own are not enough at all!"

Fang Zheng scratched his head, feeling a little bad.

These riches of his own were obtained by Fang Zheng through the fate of the original book, and after that, the resources that Fang Zheng could get were estimated to be only the wealth left by the second generation of zombie kings on Tombstone Mountain.

"Gotta get out of the way!"

"Perhaps, I can try my hand at business!"

Fang Zheng's mind had a flash of inspiration, and his heart couldn't help but move.

With the cultivation of the four turns, it should be impossible for the merchant to encounter the robbery of property.

Moreover, Fang Zheng has harvested the bookworms who recorded Jia Jinsheng's experience in business, and he will not understand anything when he starts to do business.

"Business is indispensable, not to make money, and it is also a kind of practice to improve one's ability to deal with the world."

Founder is aware of his shortcomings, and Founder is not like a model worker who is proficient in accidents.

This aspect is Founder's shortcoming, with the help of businessmen to really sharpen themselves and improve their vision.

"Okay, let's do business! And he also had to sell the large number of Bone Spear Gu and Spiral Bone Spear Gu that he had on hand first. Fang Zheng clapped his hands and decided.

"If you want to do business, you definitely can't just open a shop that sells Bone Spear Gu and Spiral Bone Spear Gu, and you have to do some other business, but first of all, you will undoubtedly have to recruit some people."

"Manpower?"

Pinching his brows, Fang Zheng couldn't help but have a headache, which was exactly what Fang Zheng lacked.

Most caravans recruit people as they pass through cottages and villages, but most of the caravans' own cadres are from their own families.

The largest number of people in the caravan were mortals, but mortals could not handle it here in Fangzheng.

As for the Gu masters, most of them serve those big caravans, and only some miserable Gu masters can work for the self-employed.

"Moreover, these part-time Gu masters are also hard to believe! Without knowing the roots, there is no easy hand for the Gu master in the family to use after all. ”

"Hey, let's be a dead horse doctor, let's recruit a few more mortal slaves first."

When I walked out of the big tent, I saw a maid come over and respectfully said, "My lord! ”

Fang Zheng nodded indifferently and asked directly, "What about Madame?" ”

This maid's name is Xiaozhu, she is ordinary-looking, and she is a mortal slave purchased by Fang Zheng to do some trivial tasks such as washing clothes and cleaning.

In addition to Xiaozhu, a mortal, Fang Zheng also had two Gu Master subordinates, Lao Zhangtou and Big Beard, both of whom were cultivators and were Gu Master slaves given to Fang Zheng by the Jia family.

"Madame has taken the bearded man and the old man to make porridge!"

"Pie porridge?"

"Yes, there are some mortal slaves in the caravan who can't eat every day, and Madame is kind, and plans to follow the example of Miss Zhang to send porridge to these poor people." After speaking, this little girl looked in reverence.

“……”

Fang Zheng was still worried about Yuanshi, so Yaole sent porridge directly.

I wanted to scold the losers, but Fang Zheng didn't say it after all, but he felt a lot more irritable.

"Forget it, it's just one or two yuan stones a day, and it's good to add some positive image by pieing porridge when you first join the caravan." Fang Zheng can only comfort himself in his heart at the moment.

"I know, you pack up the tent well, I'll go out for a walk."

Nodding, Fang Zheng left the camp directly after giving instructions to Xiaozhu.

"Shang Xinci!"

Fang Zheng touched his chin, but his mood was a little complicated.

Soon after coming to the caravan, the leader of the Jia family took Fang Zheng to know a lot of caravan leaders, and Shang Xinci was one of them.

For Shang Xinci, Fang Zheng found that he really liked her a little.

It's not the love of men and women, but the kind of love that appreciates.

Fangzheng is very glad that there are still such people in this world.

For Shang Xinci, Fang Zheng can't bear to take advantage of it.

But I can't bear it after all, I can't bear it, for Shang Xinci, Fang Zheng will still make friends.

After making friends with Shang Xinci, in the business, Founder can reduce a lot of trouble.

And thinking that it would not hurt her to get acquainted with her, Fang Zheng decided that he had to befriend her.

It's just that now, Founder hasn't figured out what way to get in touch with it.

The way of the old devil is not suitable for the other party.

Founder can't do it now, just for a Bauhinia token, to trap so many people.

Moreover, although the role of the Bauhinia token is not small, it is not essential for the other party.

Of course, you can get the best.

It's just that making friends in an ordinary way, and it is undoubtedly difficult for me to be of great help to myself in the merchant city.

"Hey, Shang Xinci's matter is not in a hurry for the time being, if you just make friends normally, you won't be able to get Bauhinia tokens. This matter still needs to be carefully considered, and it is a big deal to become a business leader for a few years. ”

Smiling lightly, Fang Zheng was not thinking about Shang Xinci, but thinking about the slave trade.

In the Five Domains, the slave trade was common.

The easiest way to produce slaves is through war.

When one cottage defeats another, it often sells the remnants of the other cottage Gu Master and mortals as goods.

Other than that, the most common is the keeping of slaves.

It's just that the quality of these slaves is very high.

Not only should you look good, but you must also have strict etiquette requirements, and you also need to master talents such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

These slaves are often worth a lot of money, but they have nothing to do with Fangzheng.

Fang Zheng was just planning to buy a few slaves to help sell the goods.

Although the caravan where Fang Zheng was located was only a team composed of various cottages, there were also a lot of slave traders.

As far as Founder knows, there are quite a few Jia families.

Therefore, Fang Zheng planned to go to Jia's house to buy some mortal slaves on this trip.

As for the Gu Master slave, Fang Zheng didn't plan to buy it yet.

The Founder caravan has not been launched, and it is enough to have an old head and a beard for the time being.

In the future, if he needed a Gu Master, Fang Zheng planned to directly ignite among his mortal slaves.

With Fang Zheng's current ability, he still has the ability to capture the Hope Gu.

Of course, Fang Zheng doesn't take the time to capture.

The caravan has a shop dedicated to helping people open their minds, and it is only a hundred yuan stones.

When he came to the Jia family's shop, a sharp-eyed young Gu Master hurriedly walked in front of Fang Zheng and said respectfully to Fang Zheng: "Lord Fang Zheng, are you here to find Lord Jia Long?" ”

He was a steward of the Jia family's caravan, and Fang Zheng remembered that it seemed to be called Jia Lian.

"No, I'm just going to buy a few mortal slaves, so I don't have to bother Jalon."

"Is that so, then my lord, please!"

Faced with Fang Zheng's request, Jia Lian didn't say a word, and directly took Fang Zheng into the slave shop.

Let the supervisor in charge of the slave trade lead dozens of young and strong slaves in good condition.

Fang Zheng looked at dozens of slaves and picked out a dozen young men who looked strong and healthy.

Feeling that it was almost over, Fang Zheng said directly: "Jia Lian, just these dozen or so, how many yuan stones do you want!" ”

Looking at the dozen or so selected slaves, Jia Lian smiled and said directly: "My lord, mortal slaves are worthless, if my lord likes to take them away, it is their luck that my lord looks at these mortals, and this can be regarded as a good fate between the Jia family and adults." ”

Fang Zheng glanced at this young Gu Master and said directly: "You are very good, I have written down this situation!" ”

Fangzheng's words made Jia Lian's heart happy.

Mortal slaves are not worth much, and if a person sells them well, they are only two yuan stones.

Being able to exchange a dozen mortal slaves for the friendship of Fang Zheng, a four-turn Gu master, was also good for Jia Lian.

In fact, Founder also has the idea of befriending Jia Lian and befriending the Jia family.

Jia Lian, a young man, has a very active brain, and since he plans to do business, he may be able to help himself if he encounters any problems in the future.

Moreover, Jia Long of the Jia family is now the leader of this caravan, and if he plans to do business, the Jia family may be able to provide some help.

Leading a dozen mortal slaves, Fang Zheng went directly back to his residence.

These servants were going to be directly handed over to Yaole for placement first.

Founder will also participate in the caravan's internal trade fair.

As the caravan walked, it would encounter some beasts and insect swarms from time to time, or collect some precious items.

There are a lot of items in it that Gu masters can't use themselves, so every once in a while, the Chamber of Commerce will have an internal trade club.

Today happens to be the day of internal trade.

There will be a lot of cherished Gu worm materials in internal trade.

Because of the small number of these things, all of them are generally digested internally first.

Fang Zheng planned to buy some of the precious material Gu worms that he used, and sell some of the surplus Three-Turn Bone Dao Gu Worms that he didn't use.
