Chapter Eighty-Three: Baiyun Commercial Bank

Early in the morning, Feng Qi wrapped the good quality medicinal herbs that had been dried in the past half a year and carried them on his back in a package, and then he took Feng Fan Lie and Lin Yuxue to the branch of Baiyun Commercial Bank, which was closest to their home. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Their home was about seventy miles away from the firm.
The location of this branch of the Baiyun Commercial Bank was still told to their family by Lin Yuxue's clansmen. This was also the first time he went to a trading house to sell their family's income in the mountains.
Ying Hengtian didn't say anything to Feng Gui for taking Feng Fan Lie and Lin Yuxue out, he watched the three of them leave the Feng family with cold eyes. Feng Qi has been paying attention to Ying Hengtian's actions, just after he took some food for Feng Fenglie's grandmother and came out of the room, when he found that Ying Hengtian was missing, he couldn't help but look for the forest outside the house, and shouted Ying Hengtian's name again, but no one answered.
Feng Qi frowned, and Feng Jiang and Feng Qiang searched again, but they still didn't find it.
"Big brother, is it someone who chased his father and the three of them?"
Listening to Feng Jiang's words, Feng Qi said with some uncertainty: "It's possible." The origin of this child is a little unknown, but after my father and I analyzed it, we realized that he was not a simple person. Okay, let's do our own thing, and I'll talk about it when my father comes. ”
Grandma heard the wind in the room and they shouted Ying Hengtian's cry, and came out to ask where Ying Hengtian went. When she listened to Feng Jiang's speculation, she just shook her head, didn't speak, and went back to her house.
Five hundred years ago, humans and monsters began a brutal battle on the planet Yanhuang. This battle lasted for nearly three hundred years, and it was not until the Demon Beast Mountain and the River Crab Trading House in the Bishan Mountain Range negotiated and made some agreements, and the battle between humans and monsters on the Yanhuang Planet came to an end.
Shanya negotiated with the Great Elder of the River Crab Trading House two hundred years ago and made an agreement, and the demon beasts and humans entered a period of peace.
Shanya referred to the way of the river crab trading house in the Bishan Mountain Range to establish a trading house belonging to the demon beast - Baiyun Trading House.
The Baiyun Commercial Bank is managed by Shanya's eldest brother, Shanlong, and the other four eighth-level demon beasts in the Bishan Mountain Range each have a 10% stake - the Shanya brothers account for 60%.
Baiyun Trading House doesn't care about the harvest of human beings in the mountains. The harvest of human beings is willing to be handed over to the Baiyun Commercial Bank, and the Baiyun Commercial Bank also collects it, but it is not compulsory. However, the harvest of all demon beast groups must be traded to the Baiyun Trading Bank, and the Baiyun Trading Bank will extract taxes.
In addition to those who entered the mountain of the human race who knew about the Baiyun trading house, the human beings outside the mountain knew that the only people who knew about the existence of this trading house were the people of the river crab trading house. It was also the river crab merchant who acted as an agent for all the goods of the Baiyun Merchant Bank, and it became the largest merchant house on this Yanhuang Planet.
Baiyun Commercial Bank has many branches in the Bishan Mountains. The branch of the Baiyun Commercial Bank that the four-eyed demon beast Mi Liang and Mi Pi went to was the one that Feng Gui was going to rush to with his grandson and Lin Yuxue.
The three knots of mankind are the envy of the mountains, and the three knots let mankind know unity, although this unity is also based on the principle of the law of the jungle. But compared to the previous killings of demon beasts, I don't know how many times better.
Before the Baiyun Trading House was established at the end of the mountain, in addition to the battle with humans, the demon beasts of Bishan were also full of cruel blood and violence. Since the establishment of the Baiyun Trading House, in the past two hundred years, the demon beasts in the Bishan Mountain Range have stabilized under the means of the mountains.
The method used by Shanya is also simple, that is, the taxes collected by Baiyun Commercial Bank.
Shanya Mountain Dragon united with the other four eighth-level demon beasts in Pishan to set up a rule: the output of Bishan was purchased by Baiyun Trading Bank, if a single group of demon beasts sold goods to Baiyun Trading Bank, then the tax was half of the profit of the goods, but if it could be combined with the demon beasts of another race to hand over the goods to Baiyun Trading Bank, the tax would drop by half, that is, the tax would become a quarter. If you can unite the six demon beast clans to trade their goods together, then the tax will become one-tenth. And with the union of the twelve family groups, the tax becomes one percent.
One percent tax is the bottom line of Baiyun Commercial Bank.
In this way, in order to exchange for human silver, all the demon beasts will have less bloody fighting like before. In order to exchange more silver for humans and less for the Baiyun merchants, they had to unite with other demon beast races, so that in order to sell their own goods to get more silver, the demon beasts in the Bishan Mountain Range could be regarded as ushering in two hundred years of peace.
On the sixth day of the new year, the four-eyed demon beast Mi Liang also came to Baiyun Trading House with Mi Pi. The patriarch of the four-eyed demon beast, Mira, wants to sell some of his harvest and exchange it for some silver to improve the strength of his clan. But he didn't unite with other demon beast races, their race was too small, and it didn't take long to be established, and he hadn't been noticed by other races. There was no way, so he took Mipi to the branch of the Baiyun Commercial Bank in Bishan.
The union between the demon beast clans is not a simple matter, and their clan like Mi Liang can only endure half of the heavy taxes of the Baiyun Trading House for the time being.
This branch of Baiyun Commercial Bank is located in a pine forest, and there are several "houses" made of stones under several huge red pine trees.
The person who manages this branch of the Baiyun Commercial Bank is a fifth-level demon beast, he is a wolf demon, called Fang Qing, and he has more than a dozen humans under him to help him manage the operation of this commercial bank.
Yanhuang Demon Beast, a fifth-level demon beast will transform into a human form, and of course, there are some demon beasts whose bodies are not much different from humans. For example, Mira's clan.
The branches of Baiyun Commercial Bank have the same place, and their managers are all fifth-level demon beasts. And most of their subordinates are humans who have taken refuge from the outside world. It is rare to see a place like Fang Qing except for him, who is all human.
Fang Qing has been managing this firm for 30 years. His subordinates have been changed back and forth, and now there is an old man named Lao Yao who has been following.
Lao Yao is a person at the sixth level of Qi refining, he is now sixty years old, his body is quite tough, he is neat in the trading house, he is very respected by Fang Qing, and he can be regarded as following his descendants since Fang Qing managed this trading house.
Lao Yao knew Fang Qing's preferences, and he also knew what Fang Qing cared about the most, so over the years, Lao Yao had a good life in this firm.
Looking at Fang Qing standing outside the firm, Lao Yao sighed secretly in his heart: "The owner is becoming more and more incomprehensible now. ”
Lao Yao knew that Fang Qing had always wanted to become stronger, but he had been trapped in the late fifth level for many years, and he had not been able to break through from the fifth to sixth levels.
In recent years, Fang Qing has had some behaviors that Lao Yao can't understand.
Fang Qing had no interest in cultivating anymore, he had to go to the head office every few days, and when he came back, he was always exhausted, but his face was full of satisfied excitement.
Lao Yao tried to ask him what he was going to do, Fang Qing kept laughing and didn't answer, after three or five times, he just waved his hand and said: "It's none of your business, I'm very happy, you just help me get the business house right." ”
In the past few years, in Lao Yao's incomprehensible gaze, Fang Qing, the owner, seemed to have a problem with his body and became weak. In addition, Lao Yao also found that their Baiyun branch had a lot less valuable inventory.
The branch of Baiyun Commercial Bank purchased medicinal materials, purchased minerals, and acquired the strange things of heaven and earth in this mountain, and originally purchased chalcedony, a treasure that was extremely profitable and helpful to the improvement of human cultivation. Ten years ago, the head office issued an order that all chalcedony, as soon as discovered, should be immediately transferred to the head office, and the following branches were not involved in the chalcedony trade.
This order was very strange, which made Lao Yao wonder for a long time, and it was only in the past few years that he learned from the grapevine that the upper echelons of the trading house had a monopoly on this treasure of human cultivation.
In principle, Baiyun Commercial Bank wants to send the purchased goods to the head office, so that the head office can trade with human beings, but in the past, the management was not strict, and the branch always had some gray income, and the gray income accounted for more than ninety percent of the chalcedony transactions. But in the decade, because this chalcedony did not allow the branch to trade, this profit was almost gone.
Nominally, Lao Yao was the second person in charge of the branch except Fang Qing - in fact, Fang Qing handed over the stall to him and became the shopkeeper. Lao Yao is the person who really does things and manages this branch.
Lao Yao discovered a year ago that some of the valuable goods in the branch were missing, and the volume was not small. He reminded Fang Qing, but Fang Qing didn't seem to care, and asked him to leave it alone.
These valuable goods are not often requested by the head office, but only when human needs are urgent, some are transferred from one branch to another from time to time, and their inventory here has not been called by the head office for five years.
The cultivation of demon beasts on this Yanhuang planet requires a large amount of silver. They used silver as an auxiliary means in their cultivation - without silver, they demon beasts would not be able to raise their level.
To say that there are also silver mines in the Bishan Mountain Range, but the demon beasts do not know how to purify the silver, and these ores also need to be refined by humans into full-colored silver, so that they can use the demon beasts.
Humans used only silver to control almost all the demon beasts in the mountains. Lao Yao didn't know how the demon beast races on the Yanhuang Planet, except for the Bishan Mountain Range, exchanged silver with humans.
Mi Liang brought some silver ore with Mi Pi, and some medicinal materials, these medicinal materials are needed by humans, they demon beasts don't need medicinal materials, the body of demon beasts has always been strong. Mi Liang heard that there were pills among humans that could improve the level of humans, and these pills were refined from these medicinal materials.
Mira sent the people back to the silver mines, and he and Mipi stayed here. Mipi brought something that shouldn't have been brought here, and this shouldn't have been brought with him, the patriarch, inadvertently ripped open and fell to the ground.
Mira was stunned at the sight of something on the ground, and then Mira saw a scene that he was extremely unwilling to see - the thing that Mirpi had brought was discovered by an old human man from the trading house.
"Chalcedony! Good thing, get it!"
Lao Yao was very happy to see the chalcedony, he hadn't seen this kind of thing for a long time. Soon after, a new order was issued that the chalcedony collected by the head office of the branch would be rewarded with some silver.
Lao Yao knew that Fang Qing didn't have much silver left.
Mipi, who accidentally turned out the chalcedony, looked at his patriarch and was about to cry. He knew that his carelessness had brought great losses to his own race.
They are a group of people who are considered to be the lower class of the lower strata in the mountains. Patriarch Mi Liang is only a fourth-level demon beast, and this kind of strength is considered to be the bottom of the Bishan demon beast group.
Chalcedony is a special product of the mountains that humans are extremely eager to obtain. Originally, this was a guarantee that the strength of their entire race would be greatly improved - the chalcedony could be exchanged for a large amount of silver.
But in the past ten years in Bishan, the demon beasts all know that this chalcedony is an embargoed material, and as long as the Baiyun Commercial Bank discovers it, it will be confiscated.
Yes, it will be confiscated, and they will not give the chalcedony a little bit of possession.
