Chapter 283: Abnormality is a Demon
In terms of arraying, Tang Chuyang's knowledge is definitely at the grandmaster level in this world, not that his ability to deploy formations is strong, but the inheritance from Ancient Huaxia is too comprehensive, almost completely overshadowing most of the cultivation systems on the Five Elements Continent.
After leaving Fang Wanxiong in charge of the patrol of the City Lord's Mansion, Tang Chuyang took Lu Jun and Jin Yang, as well as twenty believers who were more talented in the formation method, out of the City Lord's Mansion together, and began to carefully inspect along the walls of Falling Moon City.
Although using the Heaven and Earth Eye Eye on the Great Seal of the City Lord, you can also see what Tang Chuyang wants to see, but the more rigorous technical activity of arranging the formation, not only must consider the location, but also the environment, vitality concentration, and even geology of the location may affect the power of the formation.
When he began to inspect the city wall, Tang Chuyang suddenly found that there were more monks in Falling Moon City, especially in the central square where the monument was located, there were so many pedestrians that it could even be described as rubbing shoulders.
The news that Tang Chuyang became the new city lord had already been announced when Lin Jing and the others were still handing over, and thirty-six hours had passed since this time, that is, three days.
But in just three days, after Tang Chuyang Tong Guò City Lord Great Seal checked the imprint in the Divine Tablet, he was shocked to find that the number of monks in Falling Moon City had exceeded 100,000, and it was still increasing at a relatively alarming rate.
"There are so many speculators in this Tidal Mountain......"
With such feelings, Tang Chuyang finally understood how attractive Lin Jing's 'half-year development advantage' was in the hearts of those monks who like to speculate.
However, soon Tang Chuyang shifted his energy to the city wall, the more people in Falling Moon City meant the stronger the strength, so Tang Chuyang didn't care about these Baba monks. What kind of thoughts did you come here with?
Anyway, if you want to settle in Falling Moon City, you first have to imprint the original god mark in the Divine Monument, once the Falling Moon City is breached, the energy of the Divine Monument is emptied, and all the monks who have been imprinted by the Divine Monument will be cultivated to a great fall. There is no need to worry about them not contributing when the time comes.
Inspecting the city walls is a very time-consuming and energy-consuming job, the city covers an area of almost 100 miles, divided into two parts, the inner city and the outer city, the outer city is guarded by twelve city guards, and the four walls of the inner city are guarded by four deputy city lords, and the city lord sits in the city to command.
Tang Chuyang wanted to arm the entire Falling Moon City. Not only did the inner city wall need to be carefully inspected, but even the outer city had to go around the city wall of Falling Moon City, which was hundreds of miles in diameter, and the distance alone would increase several times.
It's not a tour, it's a place that has to be carefully inspected. If he wanted to completely inspect the huge Falling Moon City and arrange the corresponding formations in suitable places, Tang Chuyang estimated that it would take three months, to say the least.
Therefore, he had to spread out this most time-consuming work as the first thing, and the reason why he brought Jin Yang and Lu Jun, as well as those twenty believers with good formation talents, Tang Chuyang was also to cultivate them, so as to reduce his own work pressure.
As a superior, you must not be able to do everything yourself. Although Tang Chuyang has such a mentality among the superiors on the Five Elements Continent, he will definitely not grasp all the rights in his hands, and Zhuge Liang, who has been exhausted to death, is not Tang Chuyang's role model.
On the eighth day, the inspection of the city walls was carried out. Tang Chuyang had to hand over this job to Jin Yang, who was already familiar with the situation, Fang Wanxiong had already come to him several times in the past eight days, and the City Lord's Mansion was almost filled with those speculators.
Although Lin Jing had reminded Tang Chuyang of this situation before, Tang Chuyang had never taken it too seriously, because just like he had said to Lin Jing at the beginning, Tang Chuyang had no strength. Second, there is no fame, and third, there is no background power. It's simply a typical three-no person.
How can such a person attract too many people to defect?
But it turned out that Lin Jing was right, and Tang Chuyang became the city lord at least half a year ahead of schedule. This information is too important for most monks for many reasons, and it is difficult to describe the factors involved.
The first is resources, the territory within more than 10,000 miles around each city belongs to the city, which is the rule set by Tidal Mountain for tens of thousands of years, so before the new city lord takes office, except for the deacon and elders, no one has the right to develop.
The main reason why things like elixirs, spiritual materials, and spirit beasts are regarded as unnecessary extra money by Lin Jing and other deacons and elders is that they can only do this kind of development for about a year.
Direct development of spiritual mines can obtain huge benefits in the short and medium term, but the investment is also quite huge, especially there are a few city lords who don't know when they will take office, and the risk is also very large.
For example, Mo Bai, the reason why he is so hostile to Tang Chuyang is not because he hates Tang Chuyang, but because Tang Chuyang took office too quickly, so fast that he didn't have time to dig out the spirit mine, and Tang Chuyang, the new city owner, came to take power.
If Tang Chuyang could take office according to the normal time, that is, after about a year, the value of the spirit ore that Mo Bai had mined for a whole year would be much richer than the reward issued by the elder group.
The reason why Lin Jing, He Busheng and the other four deacon elders didn't have the idea of fighting the spirit mine was that some didn't want to take risks, and some didn't have the preparation and sufficient manpower.
And it turns out that Mobai's speculation is obviously a risk, and it is the strictest kind, spending huge manpower and material resources to finally dig a few mines, but in the end Tang Chuyang, who has saved enough contributions in advance, to pick the fruit.
In that case, it is strange that Mo Bai can give Tang Chuyang a good face.
Tang Chuyang didn't understand the twists and turns in this before, but after he met with a few of the earliest merchants who came in the City Lord's Mansion, he finally understood why Mo Bai was hostile to him, and his feelings were that he didn't come at the right time, or it was too timely.
The first three groups of businessmen that Tang Chuyang met were all coming to the mine that Mo Bai had already built, and the sincerity of taking them out was also very strong, after all, Mo Bai had already made the preliminary preparations for opening the mine, and had actually started mining the spirit mine.
If you can get the mining right of this vein, it can be said that there is no upfront payment, and you can directly bring people into the mine to mine the spiritual ore.
There are only two ways to get mining rights, one is to pay Yuanjing directly. One is that the miners take the mined spirit ore and directly share it with Falling Moon City.
He Busheng, who was in charge of this aspect of affairs, also told Tang Chuyang that according to the previous practice, nine out of ten of the merchants would choose to share the spirit mine, because Yuanjing was too useful in Tidal Mountain. Generally, no one will choose to trade directly with Yuanjing.
And the reason why Tang Chuyang felt that the several groups of businessmen he met were very sincere, was because all of these people used Yuanjing to directly purchase mining rights, and none of them chose the customary distribution method of spiritual ore sharing.
But it was precisely for this reason that Tang Chuyang did not promise anyone lightly, and only gave an excuse to think about it for a few days, and sent away these businessmen who were 'very sincere'.
It's not that Tang Chuyang doesn't need Yuanjing. It's not that he's so rich that he doesn't take Yuan Jing seriously, it's that this kind of businessman who violates common sense makes Tang Chuyang feel too weird.
When things are abnormal, they are demons!
This is Tang Chuyang's subconscious feeling that it is abnormal after meeting several waves of businessmen in a row, and none of them have subconsciously felt abnormal after using the previous spirit ore sharing trading method.
There are only two reasons for the abnormality, and Tang Chuyang can think of them. The first is more nonsense, that is, these businessmen are poor and only Yuanjing is left.
In a place like Tidal Mountain, where the law is special, Yuan Jing is a universal elixir, Tang Chuyang felt that no matter how stupid these merchants were, they should not choose to trade with the most popular Yuan Jing.
This is simply what a businessman who is born to seek profit should do.
So the second guess is more reasonable, that is, the spirit vein that Tang Chuyang has not paid attention to so far!
This spirit ore vein must be a high-grade, and very rare and precious spirit ore, cherishing the incomparably precious Yuan Crystal that those merchants would rather pay. I don't want to be divided to the point either.
"It seems that I can't keep an eye on the city defense, and I have to care about other affairs......
After having this realization in his heart, the more Tang Chuyang thought about it, the more he felt that he was still too tender. There is no experience in management at all, and it seems that in the management of a city, the first priority is not necessarily the city defense.
"A thousand top-grade Yuan Crystals a year! These merchants of the Divine Imperial Clan are also rich, right?!"
This emotion was also one of the main reasons why Tang Chuyang rejected those Divine Imperial Clan merchants, their bids were too high and too happy. It was far higher than Tang Chuyang's psychological expectations, which made Tang Chuyang unbelievable.
Although Tang Chuyang is not a professional businessman. But not a fool, if it were his own. If the things he bought could not bring him unimaginable benefits, Tang Chuyang would never have done this kind of loss-making business.
Like the Jews on Earth, each of them is a natural businessman, and their keen sense of business opportunities is terrifying.
The first businessman Tang Chuyang met was an acquaintance, it was Wan Zhiqiu, the owner of Wanrong Pavilion who participated in the auction in the Ten Thousand Ghost Caves!
One thousand top-grade Yuan Crystals a year was the price quoted by Wan Zhiqiu, and the price he gave was also the highest among several groups of merchants, Tang Chuyang almost nodded and agreed at that time.
If he had these 1,000 top-grade Yuan Crystals, he would be able to refine the King Talisman and the high-level Divine Summoning Diagram unscrupulously, and he would no longer have to worry about the lack of Yuan Shen Essence at all.
"Lu Jun, you immediately find some monks who understand minerals, and take them to the ore veins about seven thousand miles away from the west of the city to have a look, you don't need to worry about anything else, you just need to figure out what kind of ore veins it is, remember, you must be fast, and after you figure it out, you will rush back to sue me as soon as possible!"
The identification and mining of spirit ore is quite troublesome, especially the relatively rare spirit ore, which cannot be identified by professionals without being a professional based on the original stone mined alone.
And if the rough stone is not processed by a professional and directly chooses to break it violently, the spirit ore will become a pile of slag waste.
Therefore, if Tang Chuyang wants to know what kind of spiritual ore is in that vein, he must find a professional to identify it in person, he originally wanted to go by himself, but Tang Chuyang didn't understand the spiritual mine at all, and it was a waste of time to go. (To be continued)
