Chapter 248: The Development Trend of the Su Family in the Borderlands
Looking at the congratulatory gifts piled up in the mounds beside his Taoist companion, Su Zihu was already smiling from ear to ear.
Except for the foundation building period exercises given by Su Cunyi, the remaining congratulatory gifts alone are worth at least tens of thousands of spirit stones; More than half of them are materials for making spirit cakes, and Su Zihu knows what it is for when he thinks about it with his toes.
Su Zihu hummed a little song, enjoying the spirit cake while looking at his Taoist couple, looking forward to the good days that were coming next.
Immediately afterwards, Su Zihu asked Su Ziyun for advice on the major events of inheritance of the ancestry, and Su Cunyi, as an elder, personally guided and appeared to speak, and his rich experience attracted the admiration of the two.
Looking at the three people in front of him, Su Ziming only felt that the autumn breeze around him was bleak.
As a member of the army of distant wivesless in the immortal cultivation world, listening to the foul language of the three of them was torment, which made Su Ziming decisively choose to leave.
Su Cunyi and the three of them looked at Su Ziming's departing back, as if they had found a new topic in life and began to discuss.
In the following days, the Su family on the border was not idle.
Although the Su family occupies the seven border counties and has become the well-deserved overlord of this region, it is impossible to get more territory from the east of Hedong County's town of Ancheng and Jingshou County's Dongguan City to the west.
After the unanimous discussion of the Su family, it was decided to vigorously develop trade and establish a fang market in the border area.
The border land is located between the two states of Qiongjing, and if it can attract forces to come and make it one of the transit points for trade between the two states, it will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the future development of the Su family.
Where to establish Fang City, the senior leaders of the Su family were heartbroken.
In addition to the huge investment and manpower to establish the Fang City, spiritual veins and open and flat areas are necessary conditions.
The spiritual veins in the border areas are relatively scarce, and there are only six second-order spiritual veins within the seven counties, of which one is the upper grade, one is the middle grade, and four are the lower grade.
The only second-order high-grade spirit vein was cultivated by the Su family after occupying the county seat of Kunxian County, which cost a large amount of spirit stones.
As the place where the family lives and lives, the county seat of Kunxian County naturally cannot be built into a fang city; In addition, that second-order mid-grade spiritual vein became the best choice.
This second-order mid-grade spiritual vein is located in a place called Huangfeng Valley between Shangyu County and Xiayu County.
The terrain in the Yellow Maple Valley is flat for more than ten miles, and it is an excellent place to build a workshop city.
Originally, the second-order middle-grade spirit veins of Huangfeng Valley were jointly controlled by the An family in Shangyu County and the Liu family in Xiayu County, but both families were destroyed in the three wars of Su and Qin, and the overall strength of the border land declined; The spiritual veins here were seized by a foreign foundation building period surnamed Bai, and a family was founded here.
There are only five foundation-building forces left in the borderlands, and all the foundation-building monks together are less than half of the Su families in the borderlands.
When the Qin and Su families were fighting, these families were the existence of grass on the wall, so the Su family did not give these people a good face after controlling the borderlands.
However, the Su family did not do anything about it, and for the Bai family, who occupied Huangfeng Valley, Su Cunyi sent three foundation building monks to negotiate amicably.
The ancestor of the Bai family's foundation building was surrounded by three Su family foundation building monks for a friendly exchange, and immediately agreed to the Su family's request to requisition Huang Feng Valley.
Seeing that the Bai family's foundation building ancestor was so knowledgeable, the Su family compensated the Bai family with 10,000 lower grade spirit stones plus three first-order high-grade spirit veins.
After getting the Yellow Maple Valley from the Bai family, the Su family began to establish Fang City.
In the inner city of Kunxian County, the foundation building monks of the Su family gathered, and a foundation building monk said indignantly: "The family has just prepared to establish Fang City, and the five foundation building forces want to intervene, which is simply a lack of people's hearts. ”
Another foundation building monk stood up and said with a smile: "If the family wants to develop, the power of the clan is always limited, if these forces are willing to work for the family, it is okay to leave a piece of the pie for them." ”
Suddenly, a foundation building monk echoed: "We must guard against these subsidiary forces and use them at the same time, we can't do everything too absolutely, as the saying goes, a thousand-year-old family, a thousand-year-old dynasty, everyone has a time of decline." ”
"If we eat meat and they drink soup, I have no problem."
……
Of the 21 foundation-building monks present, more than half of them spoke up.
After becoming the head of the family, Su Cunyi became much calmer, listening to everyone's statements, he sat on the main seat and glanced at Su Zihu and Su Ziyun beside him expressionlessly.
Su Ziyun instantly understood and said; "The five major foundation-building forces and the subordinate forces under their command occupy sixty percent of the monks in the borderlands, if Huangfeng Gufang City does not have their participation, they will not dare to make a move on the surface, but they will definitely not live in peace behind their backs."
"If they dare, I will lead someone to destroy them."
Su Zihu slapped the table and stood up, his eyes revealing a strong killing intent.
Su Ziyun pursed his lips and retorted: "After you destroy the five major foundation-building forces, new foundation-building forces will emerge, and people can't be killed." ”
"Then keep killing." Su Zihu is serious.
"Reckless..."
"The Woman's Kindness ......"
The two immediately argued fiercely, and the foundation monk beside him stepped forward to dissuade him, but to no avail.
At this time, Su Cunyi, who was sitting on the main seat, frowned, as if he was thinking about how to make a trade-off that was more beneficial to the family.
"Ziming, what do you think?"
Su Ziming was stunned for a moment, slightly surprised in his heart, and then said solemnly: "If you want to join in, you can do it, but you have to contribute money and effort to build Fang City." ”
"How much?"
"Thirty percent of financial resources, eighty percent of labor."
Su Cunyi nodded, seemed very satisfied, and asked again: "Ziming thinks how much is appropriate?" ”
"Three cents for each family, give them a total of one into six, and let them distribute the remaining one according to their own strength." Su Ziming replied softly.
"Yes."
Su Cunyi nodded immediately, and seemed to agree with Su Ziming's idea very much, after all, according to Su Ziming's idea, the Su family still accounted for eighty percent of the income and was the biggest beneficiary of Fang City.
"Reincarnation Paradise"
Su Ziming and Su Cunyi expressed their positions one after another, and everyone in the Su family quickly made a unanimous decision.
The construction of Fang City is very expensive, and it is by no means possible to do it overnight.
After discussion, the Su family reached a plan and invested 300,000 lower grade spirit stones and 1,500 qi cultivators for a year to establish a small fang market in Huangfeng Valley.
300,000 lower grade spirit stones, the border Su family invested 210,000 lower grade spirit stones, and the five major foundation building forces invested 90,000 lower grade spirit stones.
The Su family in the border area has accumulated 100,000 lower grade spirit stones over the years, and there is a vacancy of 110,000 lower grade spirit stones.
Su Cunyi, Su Zihu, and Su Ziyun worked together to make up 20,000 lower grade spirit stones, and the vacancy of the remaining 90,000 lower grade spirit stones made everyone anxious.
Seeing this, Su Ziming, who was sitting beside Su Cunyi, spoke: "I am willing to give 100,000 spirit stones to fund the development of the family in the border lands. ”
"No, how can the family ask for your spirit stone."
Su Cunyi shook his head decisively and refused, in his opinion, this spirit stone should be specially given to Su Ziming by the family to improve his cultivation, he didn't dare to delay Su Ziming's major event.
Looking at Su Cunyi, who repeatedly shirked, Su Ziming finally proposed to invest in Huangfeng Gufang City in the form of shares.
Su Ziming invested 100,000 spirit stones and did not participate in management, and he could get 10% of the income of Huangfeng Valley every year.
Faced with Su Ziming's proposal, Su Cunyi finally agreed.
When the news reached the ears of the five major foundation-building forces, they were obviously not very satisfied with the share of the three cents of the Fang City, and some people were even more furious when they heard that they were going to produce 18,000 spirit stones.
But for fear of annoying the Su family, they couldn't even get the only three cents left, and the Zhuji family finally chose to give in.
This time, the two sides tested each other's bottom line, and finally ended up giving in to each other.
The Su family was led by Su Zihu, leading five foundation-building monks and three hundred Qi cultivation laborers to go to Huangfeng Valley to build Fang City.
The three hundred Qi cultivators were not genuine Su family members, most of them were some prisoners of war and casual cultivators who had been temporarily summoned.
The five foundation-building forces also quickly summoned 1,200 Qi cultivation cultivators, led by two foundation-building cultivators, to cooperate with the Su family.
