Chu Zheng's smile stiffened on his face because of Meng Zhou's question, but Yu Peng next to him hurriedly explained:

"Uncle Zhou, you have wronged my teacher and the association!"

Meng Zhou said: "What's going on with the recent robbery and killing of the scattered cultivators who have frequently gone to the Red Pine Ridge?" Could it really be that many catastrophes suddenly appeared? ”

"This ......" Yu Peng opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

"I'll tell you." Chu Zheng said suddenly.

"More than half of the robberies were done by the Heshengtang and Hongsongling Anle Gangs, although the other big forces in the Warm Cloud Valley did not do it deliberately, but if they happened to meet it, they would also solve it easily."

As soon as Chu Zheng opened his mouth, he directly reported the answer, and then he spread out the inside story more carefully in front of Meng Zhou.

"Realizing that the security of trade cannot be ensured by force alone, we have brought in the forces of the True Fu Pavilion, the Hundred Art Hall, the Spirit Garden, and the Hundred Instrument Hall.

And the Anle Gang is the partner we found in Red Pine Ridge, and its energy in Red Pine Ridge is not inferior to the forces of True Fu Pavilion and Baiyi Hall. ”

And it was also during this period that more and more Warm Cloud Valley Loose Cultivators also spontaneously formed teams to participate.

Although they can't compare with the big forces backed by associations, they can still get goods in Warm Cloud Valley at a slightly lower price in Warm Cloud Valley, where there are many professionals, and then go to Red Pine Ridge to sell them.

Their advantage lies in their small size and flexible channels.

In order to change hands quickly, they also made a fuss about the price, collecting at a slightly higher price here in Nuanyun Valley and selling at a slightly lower price in Hongsongling.

According to Heshengtang and the Anle Gang, the atmosphere of Warm Cloud Valley and Red Pine Ridge is being corrupted by them little by little, and this trend must be decisively stopped. ”

Meng Zhou was silent.

The essence of the matter is very simple, the association is in the middle and series, completely opening up the trade channel between Nuanyun Valley and Red Pine Ridge.

After becoming a member of the interest group, everyone quickly formed a consensus - monopolize all the dividends that can be generated by this channel, and resolutely not let others get involved.

Of course, the association can't become a white lotus because of Chu Zheng's explanations.

However, Meng Zhou is not a messenger of justice, and after roughly understanding the outline of the incident, he no longer has the idea of delving.

Meng Zhou looked at Chu Zheng and suddenly said, "Old Chu, have you realized that the situation of the association is deteriorating rapidly. ”

Chu Zheng sighed, and said in a low voice: "I know." ”

The association can use the common interest bond to connect different forces together, and quickly save a new situation.

But the association can't really dictate what other forces can and can't do.

When the interests of the association form a common interest demand, even if it is inconsistent with the concept of the association, or even completely contrary to the association, it does not prevent them from being able to push the situation in the direction they need.

Associations are being erected little by little.

The voice of the association will become less and less important.

Its only value is to transform raw materials into a wide variety of finished products.

Eventually, it may become a ruthless production machine.

This is not to say that it is really ruthless, but it is the same as whether it is ruthless or not, and it can no longer have any impact on the situation.

When he first recruited Chu Zheng to promote the establishment of the Professional Association, Meng Zhou did not expect that the situation would change so quickly.

At this moment, Chu Zheng suddenly put the two jade slips in Meng Zhou's hands.

Meng Zhou looked up suspiciously and looked at Chu Zheng.

"It's not a good thing that there are too many allies and their own strength can't match them."

Chu Zheng first sighed, and then explained:

"The senior management of the association has reached a consensus that they will no longer be too involved in the trade between the Warm Cloud Valley and the Red Pine Ridge.

After all, our initial purpose was only to find a source of raw materials so that the association could mobilize these resources.

Now, there is no need for us to help, and a steady stream of resources will be actively fed to our mouths by all parties, for fear that we will not eat enough. ”

"The association's next focus will shift to the excavation and training of professionals, and of course, sorting out and improving various career paths is also a top priority."

Then, Chu Zheng introduced the two jade slips he gave to Meng Zhou.

"These two jade slips are the result of listening to your advice that day.

Although everyone's inheritance is either limited to the first order or is a broken second order inheritance, fortunately, the number of professionals in the association is sufficient.

Through the collection and arrangement, the second-order inheritance of some common professions has been pieced together, and there are even more incomplete second-order inheritances. ”

"In this jade slip, there is a complete second-order lineage of alchemists, refiners, talisman makers, and array mages.

There is also a Broken Second-Order Runic Array Master Inheritance, and a Broken Second-Order Dan Artifact Master Inheritance;

The Incomplete Second-Order Puppet Master Inheritance One, and the Incomplete Second-Order Pharmacist Inheritance;

and the Inheritance of the Broken Second-Order Beast Master. ”

Chu Zheng is like reporting the name of the dish, telling the various inheritances included in the jade slips.

As he spoke, he stared closely at the change in Meng Zhou's face, and seeing his surprise, Chu Zheng also smiled.

"Your contribution to the association cannot be exaggerated, and no matter how much you are rewarded, it is due.

I've been thinking about what to give, and after thinking about it, I think it's the most appropriate.

It can not only represent the characteristics of the association, but also the most beneficial and cost-free, except for the cost of jade slips, there will basically be no other expenses. ”

Speaking of this, Chu Zheng seemed to be shown off by his sense of humor, and laughed.

After a while, he pointed to another jade slip and introduced:

"This jade slip contains some information related to the foundation building, and I hope it can be of some help to you.

Don't get your hopes up either, though.

Compared with the jade slip that stored nine inheritances, the content in it is pitiful, which is also a huge shortcoming of the association.

In the future, we will increase the speed at which we collect this information, but for now, we can only do so. ”

The master and apprentice stayed for nearly two hours before leaving.

Meng Zhou took a closer look at the two jade slips in his hand before putting them into the storage bag.

Originally, Meng Zhou, who was inspired by Miao Lin's notes, wanted to share some inspiration with Chu Zheng when they met next time they met to help the association continue to take off.

But at this meeting, Meng Zhou did not mention this matter word by word.

It was not that he was upset because of what happened to Wang Wei and others, but that he suddenly realized that although he did not come forward directly, he brought too many new things and new changes to Nuanyun Valley in a very short period of time.

Time is too short, too much change, too fast.

Everyone from top to bottom has not had time to prepare, and before they have reacted, they have been actively or passively involved.

It's easy to pull the egg when the step is too big.

This is not only true for individuals, but also for one force, or for Warm Cloud Valley, which includes many forces.

Therefore, this time Meng Zhou chose to shut up.

Ask for a commuter pass. I beg you to come to some monthly pass encouragement, Mo Da!

Not to mention the hypothesis, how about playing a little game?

Today, if there are 10 more monthly passes, how about I add 1,000 words on top of 4,000?

Let's see if I can put it on the shelves more than 10,000 the day before yesterday!
