Chapter 235: Zhubu State Affairs
On the second day, Zhubu was in the country, and Wang Duzhong.
Li Zhen came to Master Chi's house again, and this time, he did not alarm the others, but only visited alone.
Master Chi was packing up, and when he saw Li Zhen appear, he was surprised: "Why is the Immortal Master here again?"
"Master Chi, are you going to go to the south to take up your post?" asked Li Zhen.
"The plantation of the firm is set up on Nanli Island in the south, and the master of the Meng Immortal mentioned that Xu Xiao Lao'er is in a famous position, and Xiao Lao'er must hurry up and go there to make a good living, otherwise this summer will be delayed, and there will be no reason to miss the opportunity to breed and select seeds for a year. ”
Master Chi is a little older, but he is still full of enthusiasm and full of the spirit of a worker.
Li Zhen said politely: "These hundreds of miles of travel are tiring, you have to take care of yourself." ”
"Hehe, the little old man has a very strong body, at least he can do it until he is ninety years old, and the immortal master doesn't have to worry about me. ”
As he spoke, Master Chi vigorously tied up a large bundle of clothes, shoes and socks and other miscellaneous items, and then brought some bottles and jars, copper retorts and the like.
Li Zhen casually looked at what he was disassembling and packing, ready to find a box to pack, which was a kind of distiller, divided into two layers, with a copper lid, which looked like a double-layer steamer.
Mortals have summed up many things in the practice of labor, which are probably difficult for monks to deal with.
Different stills have different efficiency, and as far as Li Zhen can see, the efficiency of this kind of thing should be good, but it has only become this shape after many improvements.
This is also a mortal coincidence.
However, the monk has mana and can refine it on his own without relying on these tools, and the ingenuity he focuses on is not here.
It is so convenient to have mana, and as soon as the mana turns, the essential oil in the petals is immediately separated, and the process of steaming and squeezing is so clever that I don't know where it is.
It can even replace the role of centrifuges and can also replace solvent replacement.
Not only convenient, but also accurate and effective.
No wonder the level of craftsmanship far surpasses that of mortals.
After dozens or hundreds of years of intensive research, the level of his own attainments will be improved.
Therefore, even if the immortal cultivation world has not paid attention to science and technology, many things can still be inherited, because a monk himself is a civilization, thousands of years of life, even if the broom is self-cherished and flows into the involution, it will still have a deep heritage.
Li Zhen groaned slightly, and did not tell him about improving the incense, but took out another incense recipe.
"Master Chi, I'll give you one, you may be able to refine it yourself after you get to Nanli Island, and see if you can make it according to it. ”
"It's ...... Xin Lingxiang?" Master Chi opened the prescription given by Li Zhen and looked surprised.
Time has changed, and the Xinling incense recipe that Zhu Yuanguo once wanted but couldn't get on the land was passed on to Li Zhen.
"Yes, this is a spiritual incense recipe that can also be used by monks, and its value is self-evident.
If you are interested, find your owner to borrow money to open a workshop, which can ensure that your family is rich for several lifetimes.
You don't have to worry about being guilty, because even if an ordinary person gets this kind of recipe, he can't refine it, and even if he does, he still needs to do it through a craftsman like you.
If it is handled well, some troubles can be avoided, and if you have to manage it carefully, you may not be able to produce a monk among the descendants of the Chi family. ”
In the land of the North Sea, the road of money is prosperous, and all kinds of elixirs can be bought for money, and Tsukidan is more often used.
If the Chi family has a descendant with spiritual root qualifications......
Li Zhen didn't mind taking care of it.
"This, this is too precious!" Master Chi naturally understood how valuable this small prescription was.
"It's a small thing, don't care. "Li Zhen's pattern is no longer in this kind of trivial matter, but in the road and ecology.
However, Master Chi lives in the mortal world, and there are many people around him, and the pattern is a recipe that weighs ten thousand gold.
He still instructed Master Chi to keep this thing safe, not to let outsiders know, even if it is the descendants of his children, he is also tight-lipped and only selects qualified and reliable people to pass it on.
Then arrange for Zhou Cheng and others to take care of it, and effectively let a side of incense Dao forces rise here.
This move is not only to compensate Master Chi for giving him the incense recipe and learning the cause and effect of the incense, but also to sow the seeds of the incense path and cultivate the power of the incense way, which can be regarded as killing multiple birds with one stone.
Li Zhen found that the incense in this world was still too weak, and there were many craftsmen like Master Chi among the people, but it was a pity that they were all mortals.
It seems that when the time comes, it is necessary to ask Shang Yuxian to help collect folk news, and then preach widely, so that more incense forces can prosper.
"Speaking of which, I don't know how the money club is prepared, the money club has also obtained my incense recipe, it stands to reason that it is to be produced in large quantities, and this thing will be used as a new cultivation material.
According to the habits of the Great Dao of Money, as long as there is a little effect, they can blow to the sky, as if they cannot cultivate without the spirit incense, but with the spirit incense, they can build the foundation and form the pill and live forever......"
According to Li Zhen's conjecture, there is no movement now, probably because he has not yet figured it out.
However, it stands to reason that it should be soon.
Not for one or two years, two or three years, three or five years.
Sooner or later, the Xiangfang set will be established and put into operation.
After doing this, Li Zhen left here and went to the local market to visit other things.
His focus is on the spice market and the various local specialties related to incense.
At this time, Li Zhen realized that some of the records in the "Chronicles of the Scenery of All Nations" were outdated.
The book was not compiled by one or two people, but was compiled from the travels of many monks.
Everyone writes their own experiences and experiences in a fixed format, just like making an eight-share text, and then compiles and distributes them according to different categories.
This can be regarded as a more advanced sharing model, collective creation.
The defect is that there is a lack of a unified organization and authoritative body to preside over the editing, and it is inevitable that the good and the bad will be mixed.
When someone comes to a certain island, they see that the local people are open, and they think that the local area is open, but after a few hundred years, when someone else goes to see it, it may become extremely conservative again.
There are also many things, the names of ancient and modern are different, or the same variety, name, climate and environment have changed slightly, and the efficacy is greatly reduced.
It's much more difficult to study these things, and there's really no way to keep them up to date.
Unless you build up your own power, you can gather these by sending a large number of people out to collect wind.
Of course, the monks have supernatural powers and can use them in this regard, but it takes a lot of time and energy to tell divination, deduce heavenly secrets, or detect people's hearts by means similar to dreams.
Again, we can only focus on a certain area, and we can't know everything.
Fortunately, Li Zhen doesn't really want to be omniscient and omnipotent, he just values the things related to the incense here.
And all of them can be passed down and borrowed.
He can't collect it himself for a while, but there is someone who definitely can, and that is the local chamber of commerce forces.
Li Zhen made a special appearance and visited Elder Tu.
This Elder Tu was the one who participated in the suppression of Lian Li at that time, but was defeated in the battle and fled in a hurry.
Now that some time has passed, he has also recuperated, recovered, and is in high spirits.
"Li Daoyou is here, it's really brilliant, I never thought that some trivial things here would also ask you to come here in person, if you just want those mundane things, of course, I will do my best to collect them for you. ”
Knowing Li Zhen's intention, Elder Tu did not hesitate at all, and agreed.
"Then I'll thank Elder Tu a lot. Li Zhen smiled.
"I heard that Your Excellency's fellow disciple brother is having a stroke in the country of Zhubu, and recently bought two treasure ships, I don't know what plans are there for the business road. Elder Tu was concerned about the rise of Zhou Cheng and the others and the Mochizuki Commercial Bank, and asked vaguely.
Li Zhen said: "Buying a ship is just for business, to earn some freight from here to the coastal island countries and to the Beixiao Islands, we don't know much about commercial things, and we have to ask Elder Tu to take care of it." ”
Elder Tu said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, Zhou Cheng and the others have already joined the Treasure Ship Guild as usual, and they can form a team to go to Beixiao Island in the future, and it is natural to take care of each other." ”
They chatted about some things about the Chamber of Commerce and the Avenue of Money, during which Li Zhen naturally inevitably opened his talent for smelling incense and knowing people, and checked out this Elder Tu.
As a result, I was shocked when I opened it.
This Elder Tu was really covered in copper stench, like a golden cloud enveloping his body.
At this time, Li Zhen already knew that the kind of induction he was born was used to detect wealth.
To be precise, it is the cause and effect that accumulates in wealth.
It is not simply a judgment of the amount of wealth, but also the smell associated with it.
To be precise, the wealth produced by labor is fragrant, with the fragrance of rice between the fields.
The money earned by wisdom is also fragrant, as sweet as honey.
But the black-hearted money earned by exploitation and abduction is stinky.
All these things accumulate in a person in the form of cause and effect, and karma is riddled with karma.
As long as one cannot get rid of the original sin of wealth, this stench of copper will always linger on man's body, and it will not be transferred by his own mind.
Even if he gives up that wealth, the karma that has been generated will not dissolve, because wealth naturally has an owner, and even if he doesn't want it, it will still exist, and it is still possible to circulate.
The sins accumulated in the process of wealth creation and the changes brought to society are still there, and can even be passed on.
One of the hidden conditions is that many people cannot tell whether the money they are earning smells good or smelly.
What may seem legitimate and reasonable to oneself is actually the cause and effect of exploitation.
He who earns it by wisdom also participates in the harvest.
Because the cause and effect in this is a net, not a simple line.
The road of money leads to cause and effect, and it is definitely not as simple as connecting two people, you buy and I sell, and money and goods are combined, but it connects all the people involved in production and labor, and also connects the institutions that issue money.
It is intertwined with reason, good and evil are difficult to distinguish, and it is basically like a big dye vat, everything is mixed together.
Naturally, all goodness and cleanliness are polluted.
Dripping ink can pollute the pool, but only flowing water does not rot.
"It's no wonder that Dharma Dao monks like to hide in the Lingfeng blessed land to cultivate, it turns out that they don't love money, but they don't want to provoke these causes and effects!
The cause and effect related to the avenue of money are too difficult, but the concept of money is not only the talisman money in the hand, but also contains all kinds of magic weapons and spiritual materials, the more you need to deal with people, the more serious the pollution between each other. ”
Li Zhen has always been unable to figure out why Huang Yunzhen and the others obviously have great power, as well as those big sects, ancient families, whose strength far exceeds that of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, can still let them rule the sea.
It turns out that I can also perceive these things.
They may rely on other means, but the results are the same, and we can see that these causes and effects are accumulating.
"Now that you know about this, what should you do?"
Li Zhen thought about it secretly, but came to the conclusion that the gentleman was far away from cooking.
The cause and effect of the Avenue of Money is to let the people of the Avenue of Money get involved.
When I come here, I will inevitably get some copper smell, but fortunately, I have always been self-reliant and earn money by handicraft, which will not be so serious.
Now that the incense has also been obtained, there will be a way to dissolve it.
This accumulation of karmic karma, as well as the way to change the fragrance from the body, is also closely related to the absolute incense mentioned by Mrs. Yu.
Although the names of them are different, the inner principle is generally the same, that is, to cleanse themselves from the level of cause and effect, and cleanse the primordial spirit.
Naturally, there is no disease and no disaster, and there is no need to be robbed.
After Li Zhen went back, Mu Qingsi asked about his whereabouts and said, "In the future, Senior Brother Zhou and others will work under his influence, and the operation of the incense industry may as well give him some profits, so as not to cause trouble." ”
Li Zhen said: "I know, the Avenue of Money is about the equalization of interests, and it is true that everyone cooperates to make a fortune." ”
Mu Qingsi said: "The local business alliance has its own, as well as the so-called treasure ship guild, I also learned about it, and it is used by the merchants to unite to ensure safety."
It is too dangerous to sail alone across the sea, so it is better to go together.
As long as the specifications of the treasure ships are similar, they can all go together, and travel between fixed ports, and the safety is greatly improved, so there should be no repeat of the same mistakes?"
When Li Zhen heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "This catastrophe is actually just an accident, and if a person encounters it once in his life, it can be regarded as unlucky."
Although Elder Tu doesn't look very reliable, he can completely solve the troubles at the Qi refining level, and he also wants to befriend us, so the matter here can be guaranteed. ”
"That's ......," Mu Qingsi agreed.
At this point, there was nothing left in Zhubu China, and the two of them said goodbye to you in the second half of the year and returned to Yuesha Island.
As soon as he returned to this place, Li Zhan immediately began to go into retreat, devoting himself to exploring the method of changing people's incense with drunken incense, as well as related methods of using it.
This thing may be able to combine the method of eating incense and refining the soul to achieve a true incense path cultivation!
