Chapter 50: The Demon Calamity

A month later.

"What's your name?"

Dongfang Bai, dressed in brocade clothes, stood in the inner courtyard of the trading house, sweeping a row of twenty young disciples.

"The owner."

"Nicknamed Wu flatbread."

A seven-foot-long, beardless, linen shirt disciple replied.

"Not bad."

"In the future, you will be the deacon disciples of Dafeng Commercial Bank, one Dan per month, two taels of silver, food and shelter, two clothes in one season, and you can learn martial arts."

Dongfang Bai handed over a list to his subordinates and looked at the people present: "Within a year, the martial arts cultivator will be the one with the highest skill, and five people will be selected and promoted to be the disciples of the steward. ”

"The treatment will not disappoint you."

A smile hung on the corner of Dongfang Bai's mouth.

The twenty disciples present all showed joy on their faces, and leaned over and bowed their hands: "Thank you, the owner." ”

"Alright."

"Let's practice."

Dongfang Bai rolled up his sleeves and left with two subordinates.

During this time, he didn't go shopping every day to make him bored, in addition to participating in martial arts exercises, he also deduced "Heart Flame Palm", and was promoted from acquired martial arts to innate martial arts.

Although the swordsmanship is cool, it is not as convenient as the slap.

The rest of the time is really in the development of the firm...... If a firm does not really operate, it is difficult to last and can be dragged down by relying only on the tiger skin of officials.

To have a business,

There is a site,

Just a medicinal herb business can make a profit, but it is not enough to be strong, and you can eat in the bowl, but you don't grab someone else's pot to eat enough.

Moreover, everyone in the business house has to recruit by himself, and everything has to be done by himself.

This is his hidden altar.

The miscellaneous disciples alone recruited 200 people, most of whom were farmers in the village and craftsmen in the county, and everyone was eager to pay the mercenaries of Dafeng who far exceeded those of their peers.

It's a full height of 20%!

Then among the two hundred miscellaneous servants, twenty people who were selected from their children who had worked hard, read and written, and had good roots, were promoted to deacon disciples.

Finally, there are also stewards and disciples.

These three floors are the internal structure of Dafeng Commercial Bank, and if there are capable people, they can enter the Holy Sect and become disciples of the Hidden Altar.

In the past, the Hidden Altar was the strongest, the largest number of people, and it was used to dominate the halls, but now even the people who worked for the Hidden Altar did not know that they were disciples of the Holy Sect, and it happened to form a bright and dark pattern with the entrance of the underground hall.

The real disciples of the Hidden Altar are noble, not too expensive, and it is best to have Dharma protectors, and at the very least, they must also have the level of Dharma protector disciples.

In addition, since the Dafeng Commercial Bank is to open its doors to do business, at the disciple level, there is a certain emphasis on the ability to do things, such as miscellaneous disciples to do hard labor for the trading house, deacon disciples to take on the responsibility of guarding the caravan, and future steward disciples have to manage a branch......

The organizational structure created by Dongfang Bai is not very subtle, but it is in line with the current situation.

In the Dafeng Commercial Bank, there are some Holy Sect disciples as the backbone, but in the future, they will be transferred away one by one, and the commercial bank will be completely whitewashed from top to bottom.

"Owner, half a month ago, the tea team transported from the county was robbed, and the thirteen miscellaneous disciples in the shop died, and it was the news sent by the county lieutenant." At this moment, a man dressed as a merchant in a blue cloth robe and a round hat arched his hand.

Dongfang Bai narrowed his eyes and said solemnly: "Who did it?" ”

In addition to purchasing medicinal materials, he did slowly do business with tiger skins.

The reason why I chose to go to business is that I can find out the news in the county, and second, there is no conflict between the interests of the business and the local businessmen. In the chain of contempt of merchants, merchants are the lowest kind!

Because, the merchants did not have a fixed store, and the goods shipped had to be sold by local merchants. A small number of merchants with fixed stores, in order to make more money, will still take the goods for distribution.

Because, the merchant is vulnerable to thieves, and often once the loss of transportation, the business may be in vain.

It's not that there are no businessmen in the county, but they are scattered and the business is not large, so they can't form resistance. The merchant next to him, as a disciple of the Holy Sect, saw that the sect leader was displeased, so he quickly knelt down and said, "Shopkeeper Yao has already checked, and it was done by Shopkeeper Cai of Zuifeng Building. ”

"Hmph."

Dongfang Bai sneered, moved his fingers, clenched his fists and said, "Do you really think anyone can pinch me?" Sent an order to the shopkeeper Yao, within three days, I want the title deed of the drunken wind building. ”

"I'm going to give soup to the beggars outside the city, and I don't have time to play with them."

"Yes!"

"The owner!"

The disciple threw himself to the ground, kowtowed vigorously, and used his internal strength to induce bleeding on his forehead.

The next day.

The county lieutenant sent troops to suppress the bandits, broke through a group of bandits at the junction of the two counties, beheaded more than 200 people, and killed a congenital warrior in public, causing a wave in the county.

The mountain bandits in the border areas of various counties have always been difficult, and few county lieutenants will send troops to suppress them.

Lieutenant Wu was resolute, led his troops back to the city, did not enter the public house, and directly drove his horse into the drunken wind building, whipping over the tables and chairs: "Tell the shopkeeper Cai to come out!" ”

"Wu, Lord Wu." The shopkeeper Cai was wearing a green robe, and he was hiding behind the tent, and when he saw this, he crawled out with tears.

......

"The owner, this is the title deed of the drunken wind building and the wine party of the drunken wind drink." Shopkeeper Yao knelt in the chamber, his hands raised high, and his buttocks were also raised.

"That's a good job." Dongfang Bai praised a word, encouraged by the capital, and took the title deed and formula very easily, and sighed in his heart: "If you have the right, the money will come quickly!" ”

"The industry of a wealthy gentleman is coming, and there is a wine party for generations."

Shopkeeper Yao stood up and said with a smile: "This drunken drink is good wine, and the acquired martial artist will be intoxicated if he drinks it, if it is more than fifteen years, ordinary innate masters will be dizzy." ”

"If you add medicinal herbs, you can also make medicinal wine, nourish qi and nourish blood, back then, when Chen Tieshan went to fight the tiger, he drank three altars, and it is still talked about."

"It's just advertising."

Dongfang Bai guessed it: "Come to think of it, the relationship between the two families is good, so Chen Tieshan didn't come out?" ”

Shopkeeper Yao looked proud: "The county lieutenant found out the evidence of Cai's collusion with the mountain bandits, and entered the county prison in a dignified manner, interrogated and sentenced, and the confession has been signed and detained. ”

"Who dares to risk the world's disapproval, even the county magistrate has to pinch his nose and admit it."

Dongfang Bai smiled: "This is called the thunder method, if you fight it down, they can't accept it if they want to, although it will lead to a rebound in the county, but just try the attitude of the county order and the county, and you can see the situation in the state from the side." ”

If, the county order, and the county are in a big fight because of this matter, then I am afraid that there will be some time for the state to be in turmoil. If the two officials are at ease, it must be to take the overall situation into account.

"However, is there a sect of beggars in this world?" Dongfang Bai drank tea and said in a thoughtful tone. The shopkeeper Yao chuckled lightly and arched his hand: "Yu Dongjia, the three of them are in the crowd, there are people in the world, there are rivers and lakes in the world, since the previous dynasty reclaimed the canal, the Cao gang was born on the water, and the imperial examination was created in this dynasty, and the education was promoted, and the scholars were born to learn to help." ”

"There are so many beggars in the world, and it is feasible to beg to make money, as eyeliner, there must be beggars."

Dongfang Bai nodded: "I see, no wonder the beggars in the county have formed an independent force in just a few months, and they are still running a school in the Rotten Temple, studying and practicing martial arts." ”

"Huh."

Yao Yutian let out a disapproving chuckle: "Please rest assured, a few old beggars in the county, plus a few young beggars, will not be able to become the climate." ”

"The beggars in the world are only in the three states in the hinterland, and the remaining states and state capitals should have their own halls, and there are few beggar gangs in the counties."

"It's just because the people don't have enough power to feed the beggars."

Dongfang Bai understands in his heart that if there is a place for beggars, the people must be prosperous, otherwise even the people are eating swill, and what kind of porridge can beggars get? Moreover, the beggar gangs are extremely loose, often in charge of their own places, and do not belong to each other.

Because, the resources in the hands of the beggars are not enough to feed a big gang.

Compared with the sect, these gangs are weaker in terms of background and power, and they are of the same class as the martial arts hall and the gentry, which is only better than falling into the grass.

Originally, it was impossible for there to be a beggar gang in Tonghai County, but because he passed on the martial arts exercises, some old beggars thought about it and put the stories they heard into practice.

A gang came out.

But the establishment of a gang is to have a land, a business, and the ability to feed the gang, and with the ability of the beggars in Tonghai County, they can't grab a single piece of meat at all.

You have to be a member of the Holy Religion!

"I originally wanted to recruit some beggars as disciples in the trading house, but now that the beggars have gathered into a crowd, I can only give some porridge and make a good fate." Dongfang Bai echoed.

Yao Yutian immediately said: "My subordinates can send some doctors to give free medical treatment to beggars outside the city, and take medicine for free, and when those beggars hit the south wall and lose their minds, they have to come back and bow down to the owner." ”

"Yes."

Dongfang Bai nodded in promise.

He found that Yao Yutian was more and more aware of his thoughts, and he was patting his ass, as if he had a seven-trick exquisite heart. Who said that alchemists are all nerds and can only stare at the furnace?

As soon as the strength is strong, there are more smart people around you.

Yao Yutian saw that the sect leader was in a very good mood, and arched his hand and said: "Sect master, the first batch of Danwen Zhuji Dan has been sent to the ghost market, and the Di Fang master is willing to buy it at the price of three big dans." ”

"That's nature."

"Good goods are more expensive." This price increase was originally instructed by him, and there was no way for the owner of Di Fang to think about it, because the Holy Sect had a second choice for him, so he continued to sell the uncounterfeited Dan.

Technology comes with a fee.

What's more, refining anti-counterfeiting pills not only costs more, but also consumes more time.

"In addition, the imitation of the Yishen Pill and the Dragon and Tiger Essence Blood Pill has made progress." Yao Yutian took out two bottles of pills and took out one pill each: "There are seven or eight percent similarities in appearance and appearance." ”

"It's just that Danxiang is slightly inferior."

Dongfang Bai played with the two pills, and his smile gradually changed: "The materials are different, there will always be a gap, let's take them out and sell them first, how much money you make is not a problem." ”

"The problem is to disrupt the market of the Medicine King Sect and give Tsukidan room to play out."

"By the way, this thing can't eat the dead, right?" He asked suddenly.

Yao Yutian hurriedly assured: "They are all practiced with blood-replenishing medicinal materials, although there is no progress in martial arts, but they will definitely not eat the dead, and moreover, there is still a bit of aphrodisiac effect." ”

"Yo?"

Dongfang Bai showed an interested expression, and immediately put the pill back: "Wholesale to Di Fang Master to help sell it first, and make double the cost price." ”

"It's easy to hear."

Yao Yutian said with a smile: "Don't say that we already have an enmity with the Medicine King Sect, even if there is no enmity, the price of the real pill and the fake pill is a hundred times different." As long as a fool buys a few pills, a whole batch of medicines will be returned. ”

"It's profitable!"

......

County office.

The new warden Wei He, dressed in a gray robe, walked into the public room, bowed and handed over a document: "Lord Qiqi County, Shopkeeper Cai committed suicide in fear of crime in the prison." ”

Gao Chengzhang was dressed in civilian clothes, took the paperwork, and threw it on the case without looking at it: "Ask Lord Wu to come to the public house to see me." ”

"Yes."

"Your Excellency." Wei He replied respectfully, turned around and left the public house.

There are only three public houses in the entire county government, which are arranged for three county officials, and the officials of all departments are accompanied by the office in the public house, and only the officials need to be on duty in shifts, and there is a special class room.

Gao Chengzhang looked at the newly appointed warden with a displeased face: "Forcing my people to death is really a shame, so I called Lord Liu to come to the public house." ”

"Yes."

Master Lu put down the brush and looked humble.

Lord Wu took the warden in just a moment, and the head of the team came to the public house, walking in a dragon and tiger step, quite majestic, with long sleeves rolled, the tea cup in his hand, and his butt sitting on the chair.

Seeing that there was no county order in his eyes, Master Lu said loudly: "Lord Wu, the county lieutenant is just from the nine products, managing the city to prevent and control security, arresting thieves and suppressing bandits, the county commander is dignified and nine-grade, as a county parent official, how dare you be so rude?" ”

"Hehe, Master Lu, I don't bow when I go to the door, and the two junior brothers need to salute as soon as they leave?" Wu Yuan's eyes glanced at him, with a murderous aura, and Master Lu was not afraid, everyone who was an official had to play in the rules.

Gao County Ling waved his hand and said, "Okay, Wu County Wei is a senior disciple of the sect, and he has not even been able to change the exercises, and some vulgar etiquette is nothing." ”

"However, the two junior disciples of County Lieutenant Wu have returned to the sect, have you done a good job of the affairs of the county guard?"

Ren Qiongfei recently installed subordinates, concealed his identity, and opened the way for the sect leader.

The most important thing is to forge a group of Holy Sect disciples, kill Shangjuan to repay the imperial court, and among them is the Supreme Protector who has shown his face. Although the matter was not done perfectly, a batch of heads were handed in, plus a few weapons, hidden weapons, and costumes with the Holy Fire Seal.

Even if the county guard is not satisfied, he has to admit the twist and turn, and if he is not promoted, he must keep the position of county lieutenant.

"The matter of the county keeper is a first-class major event in Taishan County, so it has naturally been done." Ren Qiongfei arched his hand and said. Gao Chengzhang smiled when he heard this: "Then my business, is it a first-class major event in Tonghai County?" ”

"Master Gao, you have something to say." Ren Qiongfei said with a smile.

Gao Chengzhang said happily: "I won't go around the bend with you, Shopkeeper Cai makes friends for my world, you say kill if you say kill, and copy what the industry says, really dare not play a copy of you?" ”

Originally, Lord Wu was responsible for the county's secret order, and there were two congenital arms around him, the county order, and the county Cheng all retreated, but now that the situation has changed, Lord Wu is a new officialdom, with no family background and no backer, and Shangguan can handle it.

Liu Xiancheng saw Wu Yuan's face darkened, his expression was displeased, and he hurriedly smiled and said: "Lord Gao, Lord Wu is young and vigorous, and it is understandable, besides, it was the shopkeeper Cai who collided with Lord Wu, and the friendship between colleagues must not be bad because of a businessman." ”

"It's not good for the people or the country."

Gao Chengzhang shook his head when he heard this, and said clearly to Xinding: "The medicine business used to belong to Lord Liu, for the sake of you being a senior disciple of the Medicine King Sect, you will take it as a congratulatory gift, and the restaurant business is already in your hands, so I won't take it back, lest outsiders say that I am not close to people." ”

"But if you dare to meddle in the county's business again, I will immediately send an order to someone copy your Dafeng Commercial Bank, can you understand?"

Lord Wu suppressed his anger, put down the teacup heavily, and said with indignation: "The Gao County Order is so reluctant to divide the meat, if there is a demon disaster in the future, do you need the help of the Medicine King Sect?" ”

Gao Chengzhang's face was shocked, his eyes widened, and he said in horror: "Lord Wu has a message from the sect, do you know where the demon disaster has progressed?" ”
