For the people of the Shenwu Sect, the status of the Shenwu Sect, especially the status of the deacon, can be said to be very rare. Some people have been boiling for dozens or hundreds of years, and they may not necessarily be promoted by one level, but Jiang Yu this time, from the third-class deacon, to the second-class deacon, is actually promoted by two levels, because above the third-class deacon, there is also a "second-class deacon". Such an exceptional promotion is extremely rare among the Shenwu Sect. Jiang Yu was willing to use the two levels of promotion in exchange for the pardon of the annual tribute, in the eyes of the demon venerables, he was naturally stupid and incomprehensible. Because they didn't know that Jiang Yu didn't take this so-called rank seriously at all. What he wants is very simple, survive, and at the same time speed up his cultivation, and find a way to bring down the Shenwu Sect, that's all.

A few days after the Demon Venerable left, the altar sent someone again, and the altar agreed to reduce some annual tribute, but it was only three million per month, and only for one year. A year later, it's still 10 million a month.

Most of the deacons in Muyun City were resentful of the Holy Altar's decision to take back the Spirit Stone Mine, not because they were loyal to Jiang Yu and not loyal to the Holy Altar, but because the existence of the original Spirit Stone Mine could make them all rich together, even if they couldn't eat meat, they could drink a lot of soup, but now that the Spirit Stone Mine was directly taken away by the people of the Holy Altar, they couldn't drink the soup.

As for Jiang Yu, now he has to find another way to find other ways to make money. Every day, he had to discuss with the deacon of Muyun City how to make money in his study. Now the Lingshi mine is no play, but fortunately, with the help of Shan Tugong, in the south of the original mining area, a decent silver mine and a large copper mine were found. Although the income is definitely not as high as that of the spirit stone mine, as long as it is mined, there must still be some profits. But this money is far from enough, because although the reduction of three million is still a huge shortfall of seven million.

Early in the morning of this day, Jiang Yu was in the study early waiting for the other deacons of Muyun City to come here to discuss with him. Jiang Yuzheng was looking through the account books and found that Hongrou had also returned from the Cloud Immortal Realm. After Hongrou entered the study, the first thing she did was to pour Jiang Yu a cup of hot tea and let Jiang Yu drink it to warm up. While Jiang Yu was drinking tea, Hongrou looked outside, and after making sure that there was no one, she complained: "The people at the Holy Altar of the Shenwu Sect are too domineering, so they robbed the spirit stone mine." If it weren't for that, you wouldn't have to work hard, master. ”

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "It's not necessarily a bad thing for them to snatch it." ”

Jiang Yu's words, Hong Rou was stunned, and said, "What does the master mean?" Jiang Yu stretched out his hand and motioned for Hong Rou to come closer, and whispered the reason to Hong Rou. When Hongrou heard this, she was shocked.

In fact, that piece of spirit stone mine is very barren, and that large piece of spirit stone is clustered, it is just accidental, it seems to be a very rich mine, but in fact, it will not be mined for a long time, Jiang Yu already knew it when he found it. And Shan Tugong also found out, but Jiang Yu didn't let Shan Tugong say about it at that time, he deliberately spread the money, the original intention was to let the altar know as soon as possible, so that he could come and take over, as long as he came to take over, he would have the opportunity to bargain, even if the altar directly snatched it and didn't give anything, it really had to fall into the hands of the altar to develop the mineral deposits, there were not many.

After handing over the matter with Hongrou, Jiang Yu smiled bitterly: "God knows that this altar is so dark, and after robbing the spirit stone mine, it only reduced me by three million per month, I originally thought that I could be reduced by at least five million, or simply exempt the annual tribute, who would have thought that this would happen." ”

Listening to Jiang Yu's words, Hongrou thought about it, and suddenly frowned, and said with some worry: "If the people of the Holy Altar find out that the mine can't be mined for a few days, what should they do, will they give away the three million?"

Jiang Yu laughed when he heard this, and said: "This will not be, the dignified altar, you can't talk like a fart, after all, three million is more important than the majesty of the altar, or the majesty of the altar." Besides, I said in advance, I told them earlier, that the mine won't be mined for a few days, but they don't believe me, what can I do?"

Hearing Jiang Yu say this, Hongrou smiled. brought a plate of pastries to Jiang Yu, and she waited to stand beside Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu ate pastries and talked to Hongrou about the New Year's tribute.

"I heard from them that almost all of the other cities have broken their heads for the sake of annual tribute, some of them have the idea of beating the rich, some of them have the idea of beating people and animals, and some have raised taxes. There are also those who have lost their conscience and let the garrison pretend to be robbers and go around robbing. I'm really convinced of them......"

Hongrou listened patiently to Jiang Yu's words, only occasionally interjecting, gentle and gentle. He had been by Jiang Yu's side for a long time, even if these deacons from Muyun City saw her, they were all polite and did not dare to offend, and no one really dared to treat her as a subordinate.

"Does the master want to beat their mind?" Hongrou guessed after listening to Jiang Yu's speech. Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Those who know me." Jiang Yu sighed and said, "It doesn't matter a lot, since they have all raised taxes, I will reduce taxes on my side." The merchants and the rich still have to do business, and they can't stay on their turf, so they come to me. Jiang Yu thought for a while, and said to Hong Rou: "Go back and ask Deacon Zhao to count the ownerless houses in the city and the vacant houses that no one lives in, buy what you can, rent what you can't buy, in short, you have to control it." ”

Hongrou seemed to understand Jiang Yu's intentions, and said, "Then the wasteland in the inner city should also be bought?"

Jiang Yu nodded and said, "Of course." ”

Hong Rou smiled and said to Jiang Yu: "Does the master want to be the landlord who sits on the ground and starts the price?" Jiang Yu took another piece of pastry and ate it, and said at the same time: "Of course, the wool is from the sheep, and the tax that is reduced, of course I want to earn it back from these foreign merchants." I don't believe that they can all lay on the floor outside the city. ”

Hongrou listened to Jiang Yu's words, and she couldn't stop laughing. And after Jiang Yu Lianxiu ate a few pastries, he looked at Hong Rou and said, "I usually eat this pastry, but it is not as delicious as today, is it because I am hungry?"

Hongrou heard this, but she didn't say it directly, and said after selling it: "The pastry is still the original pastry, and the method has not changed, but the material has changed, and the owner guesses how it has changed." ”

"Material ......" Jiang Yu pinched his chin and thought about it, and said sideways: "Could it be Yun Wu......" Before Jiang Yu's words were finished, Hongrou nodded.

Hong Ju said: "I didn't expect the grain there, it was only more than half a month later, and it was ripe." They collected the grain and asked me to make pastries for my master. ”

And so it was. When Jiang Yu ate the pastry, he found that the pastry not only tasted very good, but also refreshed and refreshed after eating, and his spirit was lifted. He had long known that the grains in the Cloud Immortal Realm were very magical, and he really felt and understood them seriously until this moment.

"You eat one too. Jiang Yu motioned for Hongrou to eat too, and Hongrou took it unceremoniously and ate it.

"How do you feel eating?" Jiang Yu asked Hongrou. Hongrou's face turned red and said, "It's a little hot on my body, but the dantian seems to have qi condensation, and my eyes are a lot better...... I can't say anything else. ”

Jiang Yu laughed, and said in his heart that it was really a cultivation beginner like Hongrou who felt the deepest. Jiang Yu could almost determine that the grains in the Cloud No Immortal Realm, referred to as the Immortal Valley, had the effect of increasing the cultivator's cultivation and improving his own aura. And what's even more amazing is that the aura that has been promoted is very pure aura, and because of this, when Jiang Yu eats Immortal Valley, he just feels delicious, not like Hongrou, after eating, it is like a lotus out of the mud, and the freshness of the dirt is removed. It's just that his own pure aura will increase by itself every moment because of the cycle.

"I'm really guarding the gold mountain to ask for food. Jiang Yu suddenly sighed.

Listening to Jiang Yu's exclamation, Hongrou seemed to have guessed something, but still asked, "What does the master mean?"

Jiang Yu thought for a while and said, "Hongrou, let me ask you, if there is a kind of food that can improve your cultivation by eating it, and at the same time you can increase your own aura, will this kind of food be very expensive?"

When Hong Rou heard this, she said, "Of course, those gentlemen, people from rich families, don't they just think about getting something for nothing." Hongrou paused, looked at Jiang Yu, and said, "Does the master want to sell Immortal Valley?"

Jiang Yu nodded and said, "This is a way to make money. Jiang Yu said this, looked at Hongrou, and said: "After a while, they will come, you will go to Yunwu Immortal Realm and tell them about it, how much they plant, how much I will collect, of course, there will be no loss of their money." ”

"But master, it's useless for them to ask for money in the Cloud No Immortal Realm. Hongrou wondered a little. Jiang Yu shook his head and said: "Money is not important, I just let them have the consciousness of self-reliance, of course I can always support them, but people can't get used to it, Hongrou, do you understand? Isn't it good that they grow food like this, and I pay for it? ”

Hongrou listened to Jiang Yu's words and said in a low voice: "The master is so considerate. Hong Rouxin said that what Jiang Yu thought about was something she hadn't thought about. Growing food in the Cloud Immortal Realm can be said to be the easiest, as long as you sow the seeds, and then wait for the ripeness to harvest it. It's so much easier than the outside.

"What did you say?" Jiang Yu asked Hongrou with a sideways look, Hongrou blushed, and said in a low voice: "It's nothing." ”

Jiang Yu pinched his chin and thought about it, and then said: "It's easy to grow the Immortal Valley, and it's easy to harvest, but I need someone to help me sell it, if I go by myself, or someone from Muyun City goes, I think the Shenwu Sect will definitely intervene in this matter, so it will only end up like a spirit stone mine......

Jiang Yu pondered for a long time, and suddenly looked sideways at Hong Rou and said, "What do you think I should do if I let Shixingfan do this?" Or, these immortal valleys will be sold directly to Shixingfan. ”

"Does the master still trust them?" asked Hongrou, a little worried. Jiang Yu immediately shook his head and said, "Of course I don't believe them, but there is a saying among the merchants here in Muyun City, that is, the so-called business is a transaction with the living, if the untrustworthy people can't do business, then there are few people in the world who can do business." It's profitable, and Ten Stars should be willing to make this deal as well. ”

"Then the master should be careful...... she muttered for a moment, and continued, "The master can talk to Yang Shen first, so as to ensure that something happens." ”

Jiang Yu nodded slightly and said, "If there is any trouble, it is estimated that he will come to the door by himself." ”

As he was talking, the little guy outside came to report, only to say that those deacons arrived, Jiang Yu sent Hongrou away, and stayed to deal with these deacons, usually Jiang Yu was still interested in listening to their nonsense, but today Jiang Yu didn't seem to have much patience, just because he now had the bottom in his heart. By noon, Jiang Yu dismissed the deacons, and Hongrou also returned, bringing back a bag of Immortal Valley. The size of the Immortal Valley rice grain is amazing, shining brightly, Jiang Yu took one casually, put it directly in his mouth and chewed it, and instantly felt a spiritual energy enter his heart, and said in his heart that this thing is really the best good thing, if it is really taken out and sold, it is estimated that the monks outside will go crazy because of it.

"Did you say everything I asked you to tell them?" Jiang Yu asked Hong Judo, who nodded and said, "Naturally, I said it." ”

Jiang Yu pondered for a moment and ordered: "You rest in the front hall, if someone comes to me, you will say that I am resting and have no time to meet guests." ”

"Yes!" Hongrou knew that Jiang Yu was probably a person who wanted to see Shixingfan, and he didn't want to be disturbed, so he ordered like this.

Just as Hongrou thought, Jiang Yu went out to contact Shixingfan, and in the evening, Shen Xi of Shixingfan came to the door, and Jiang Yu was already waiting for him in the courtyard.

The sunset, the stone table, a few jugs of wine.

"Brother Shen did that outrageous thing with us last time, and he wasn't punished when he went back?" Jiang Yu and Shen Xi were also familiar with each other, and what they said when they met was also half a joke.

Shen Xi was also not polite, so he sat opposite Jiang Yu and said: "If you do it like me, usually, ten lives are gone, but this time there is a deputy master to cover it for me, but there is no blame, just a twenty-spine cane." If you think about it, even if it kills me, if I had to choose again, I would be the same as I was at the beginning. ”

"For this sentence, Brother Shen, I respect you. Jiang Yu poured a glass of wine for Shen Xi, and drank it all himself.

Shen Xi didn't drink, looked at Jiang Yu and said, "Brother Jiang is looking for Shixingfan this time, it shouldn't be just to drink with me." ”

Jiang Yu shook his head and said, "Of course not, I...... I want to do a business with Ten Stars. ”

"Do business?" Shen Xi was also stunned.

Jiang Yu handed a raw immortal valley on the tea tray on the table to Shen Xi, and motioned for him to knock down, Shen Xi was also a man, took it and chewed it, and swallowed it in two bites.

"How?" Jiang Yu asked. I saw Shen Xi slowly stand up, closed his eyes, and felt the aura in his body galloping, he had practiced for many years, and the aura in his body had long been turbid, after eating the Immortal Valley, a clear stream entered his body, and he naturally felt more intense than Jiang Yu and Hongrou. He stood there for a long time, and finally let out a sigh of disbelief on his face and asked, "What is this?"

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "This is what I want to do business with Shixingfan." As he spoke, Jiang Yu had already taken out three small bags containing Immortal Valley and placed them on the table. Said to Shen Xi: "Brother Shen, you can't decide to do business, in this way, there are three bags here, all full of Immortal Valley, one is for you, the other one you transfer to Brother Yang for me, and the other one, you will hand it over to your deputy master, just say that I have a lot of this kind of thing in my hand, and ask him if Shixingfan is interested in buying this Immortal Valley from me, of course, you have to give me the right price." As for whether he bought it for his brothers in Fannei, or whether he took it and sold it at a high price, Jiang would never ask. ”

When Shen Xi heard this, he put away the three bags of Immortal Valley, and said, "Okay, I'll send it over now." ”

Jiang Yu smiled and signaled that he was not in a hurry, so he drank with Shen Xi for a while before sending Shen Xi away.

The next day, just after dawn, Yuan Ping and Shen Xi, the deputy masters, came to Jiang Yu's courtyard to wait, and Jiang Yu had long expected them to come, so they appeared, and Jiang Yu also arrived.

"It's been a long time, Vice Master Yuan. When Jiang Yu saw Yuan Ping, he bowed slightly, and Yuan Ping responded with a salute. Still at the stone table yesterday, Yuan Ping sat down, took out an immortal valley, got straight to the point, and said to Jiang Yu: "This immortal valley, Brother Jiang really has a lot there?"

Jiang Yu saw that he was straightforward, and he didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Yes, how much you want, it's just that I need a reasonable price, how much this thing is worth, I believe I don't need to explain, Deputy Master Yuan should know it." ”

Yuan Ping smiled and said, "I don't understand, why Brother Jiang would sell such a good thing to us instead of selling it himself." Jiang Yu smiled and said, "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I can't." I am now the lord of the city, if I go out to show my head, I am afraid that it will be inconvenient for people who know me to carry a lot of money, and my wife can't do such a showy thing, as for other people, their cultivation is not good, selling this kind of thing, and children walking in the downtown with gold bricks, what is the difference? I choose you, first, you have a high level of cultivation, and you have a wide range of contacts, and more importantly, you are the enemies of the Shenwu Sect, and the things you sell are very limited in the hands of the Shenwu Sect. ”

After listening to Jiang Yu's explanation, Yuan Ping nodded, what Jiang Yu said, in fact, Yuan Ping had expected it, but he just needed to confirm it.

"But I don't know what price Brother Jiang plans to offer?" Yuan Ping put the folding fan on the stone table and asked Jiang Yu seriously.

Jiang Yu smiled and said: "I said, if the deputy owner wants it, he will open a price, if it is suitable, we will do this business, if it is not suitable, I can use this thing as a snack and distribute it to my family members." ”

Yuan Ping sighed lightly and said, "Brother Jiang is a master of destroying heavenly things. When he spoke, Yuan Ping said in his heart that this immortal valley was for the masters of the Ten Stars to eat, and he would feel distressed, Jiang Yu actually said that he would give him to his own family to eat.
