Chapter 42: The Clouds
On the afternoon of August 14, a special guest came to Changningju. It is the head of about 10,000 homeless people staying in the west of the city, and the sea is endless.
Changning looked at him carefully. He looks like he is about twenty-five or sixteen years old, with a height of about 1.75 meters, a delicate face, and a weak and gentle temperament. Occasionally, you can see a hint of shrewdness in your eyes. If not too weak, he looks like a businessman. Changning was quite satisfied.
Hai Wuya stood in front of Changning nervously. He peeked secretly as he entered. Although she is only ** years old, she just sits there casually, but she exudes a fierce momentum, which makes people ignore her age and produce fear.
In fact, Hai Wuya didn't know what he was afraid of. He had seen many children of the family before, but he had never felt like this. It felt like the air was a little condensed, and I couldn't breathe so well. He could feel a slight heat in his palms.
Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Changning withdrew the momentum on his body and smiled lightly, "Mr. Hai, please take a seat." ”
"Thank you, Miss." The sea bowed in a regular manner before sitting down. A maid poured him a cup of tea, and he thanked him and took a sip gently. The taste is sweet and seems to have honey added.
Looking at the little girl in front of her, she didn't have the aggressive momentum just now. The whole person sat there with a relaxed atmosphere, and seemed to be one with the room. Hai Wuya was a little surprised, this seemed to be the legendary realm of harmony with nature.
The confidence in this young lady in my heart is even greater. Full of anticipation.
"Mr. Hai is a cheerful person at first glance, and I won't go around the bend with you. I'll just talk to you. Changning held the teacup and looked at Hai Wuya with a smile, his voice soft, "I want to build my own power, and now I need manpower." ”
"Wuya also knows that there is no free lunch in the world. I'm ready to give. But I don't know what the young lady can offer? "The sound of the sea is full of magnetism and is very beautiful.
"I have an herb in my hand. It can purify Xuanqi. Now we need to find a large number of people to plant. The more the merrier. Changning said with a confident look, "Don't worry, I've already tried this herb." Not picky about living conditions. It can be planted in Xicheng and even other places. ”
"Purifying Xuan Qi?" Hai Wuya was surprised. Although he is not a mystery, he is very knowledgeable. There is also research on herbal medicine. Then he asked, "If there really is such a herb, how can the Liu family be assured of planting it for outsiders?" ”
"Huh." Changning smiled a little happily, "Because the seeds of this herb need special treatment to have the effect of purifying Xuan Qi." Otherwise, it is invalid. Although I have planted it for you, I am the only one who has the seeds. ”
Jun Wuya's eyes lit up, and he looked a little bright. He wasn't disappointed that Changning said that the seed was unique to her. Instead, they are happier. Only in this way can we establish a good cooperative relationship.
Changning was very satisfied with his attitude.
After the two had the same attitude. The rest is much easier. We first discussed a rough charter, and then gradually talked about the details.
Before the sun set, Jun Wuya carried two large bags of seeds. and a stack of silver tickets out of the Liufu with hope.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is still Qingshuang who goes to the Moon God Niangniang Temple to participate in the sacrifice.
In addition to the Jiang family and Chang'an, they already knew about Changning's plan, although they were also a little displeased. But he didn't say anything, it was still the same as usual, what to do.
The frost on this day was particularly beautiful. Although she is only ten years old, she looks like a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl because of her good development. Wearing a folded skirt embroidered with hundreds of flowers, holding her hair like clouds, her little white face is full of moving brilliance, bright and delicate like the most delicate flowers blooming in summer.
Aunt Chen, Yao, who was standing next to her, also changed her low-key style on weekdays. Wearing a fuchsia embroidered dress. He wears a hairpin with a ruby on his head. The eyes sparkle inside. A happy smile.
Jiang didn't come out, and prepared breakfast in Yourong Courtyard. Changning and Chang'an stood in the corner, watching Liu Wenyu holding Yao's hand and muttering in a low voice, their eyes cheerful. He looks a lot younger than usual.
"Brother, let's go in. Mother is still waiting for us to have breakfast. Changning's face was calm and calm, and he was wearing a cyan samurai robe, which was out of place with the surrounding atmosphere.
Chang'an was wearing a black suit, and there were still undried sweat stains on his forehead. He had just come out of the martial arts, "Let's go." ”
When the two came to Yourong Courtyard, all kinds of porridge, pastries and other breakfasts had just been placed on the table.
"Ning'er, come over quickly. There's something for you. Jiang was holding a wooden token in his hand.
Chang'an obviously recognized what it was, and laughed softly, "Ning'er can't sleep lazy in the future." I have to go to Zongxue with my brother every day. ”
It turned out to be the long-awaited sect of the sect. Changning took the token and played with it in his hand. It was heavy, with a hint of coolness, and it was obviously not made of ordinary wood.
"That's not bad." Changning said with a smile. "According to the ancestral system, although a descendant woman can enter the sect, she doesn't seem to have any tokens, right? What exactly does this do? ”
"With this, you can enter and exit the second floor of the library. You can share general information within your family. You can also choose any mystic technique below the ninth rank at will. You can get the auxiliary cultivation pill once a month. Chang'an smiled and explained the benefits of the token one by one.
"I didn't expect our ancestors to be so patriarchal." Changning pouted and said dissatisfiedly.
Jiang and Chang'an both laughed. Breakfast every day is their most enjoyable time.
Because today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zongxue also has a holiday. Changning saw that Chang'an had a rare rest. Then he also rested for a day. After the two of them had eaten, they still stayed in Yourong Courtyard to talk.
"Here's what you need to know about the displaced people everywhere. You have time to take a look. Chang An took out a few pieces of paper from his clothes and handed them to Changning, and asked suspiciously, "What do you want this for?" ”
"I didn't tell you last time. I want to rent the blue grass seeds to the people who smoke them to plant, we will remember the quantity, let them plant at a high price, and then recycle them. Sold to other families. I want to do things, and naturally I need people. I want to find them among these displaced people. Changning explained.
Chang'an frowned, "Why don't you look for it in the clan." It's all trained, and it's easier to use. ”
Changning leaned on Jiang's couch a little lazily, and glanced at his brother with slanted eyes, "Easy to use is easy to use." But faithful? Changning said meaningfully, "Although they are all extremely loyal, everyone takes the family as the first, and the son is the second." ”
"Are you?" Chang An asked with wide eyes and some suspicion.
"I'm just planning ahead. I don't want to be sold by my most trusted subordinate and count the money for him one day. I still believe in the combination of interests. I don't thank me with those outcasts, and I don't point to them how grateful I am. Although they may have been in the first few years, they did appreciate me. But over time, people's desires are endless, and they will want more. I just want to create an environment where everyone can work together and share benefits. ”
"Is this possible? Ning'er should take a closer look. Chang'an frowned, a little unacceptable for a while. In his view, the human heart is too mysterious and changeable. Except for those dead soldiers and shadow guards who have been brainwashed and trained since childhood. Can anyone else be trusted?
The Jiang family, who had been smiling and listening to their speeches, suddenly said to Chang'an, "I think Ning'er's method is also worth trying." It's just some business anyway. It's not about handing over security to them. In terms of business, maybe there will really be disputes with the family, so it's better to use your own people. "Jiang married into the Liu family for more than ten years, has been fully integrated into the Liu family, has always regarded the Liu family as her heaven, if the Liu family is a lake, she is a fish in the lake, she has never only hoped that the lake is wider, wider and clearer.
Neither Changning nor Chang'an expected that she would say such a thing. Between the family and the child, she did not hesitate to choose the interests of the child. She must be doing it for herself.
