A few days later, Zhou Cheng and others unearthed the evidence of the Ling family's collusion with pirates, and publicly martyred.

In the capital of the king of Zhubu, in the residence of the Ling family, in the south of the Zhubu country, in the fief of the Ling family, in Hongdu Port, where Gui'an Garden is located, and other places, there are also fellow disciples from Xuanxin Peak who led the team to break in, and at the same time subdued the descendants of this family.

The head of the Ling family has felt bad since the second brother has never returned, but his ancestral inheritance is all on the shore, and there is really no way to escape, so he can only be captured.

At the place of the favorite concubine Lady Ling, a team of stubborn soldiers rushed in and controlled the screaming palace maid.

"Mother, please get on the road. ”

A eunuch walked in with a porcelain vase on a delicate jade plate and said to Mrs. Ling.

Madame Ling was furious: "Bold, what do you want to do? I want to see the king!"

The eunuch's face was bitter: "The king is sick and doesn't want to see anyone." ”

"I don't believe it, you bold guys must be falsely passing on the king's orders!" she said, trying to push the other party away and rush out of the palace.

The eunuch hurriedly protected the bottle on the plate, and said in a sharp voice: "Come on, feed the mother and take medicine!"

The general trend of the family has gone, and this favorite concubine is a mortal again, without the slightest personal strength, and was soon fed the pill and collapsed softly.

In the depths of the palace, the lord of Zhubu Kingdom soon knew the result, and sat down in his chair, unable to speak for a long time.

Although this old lord is old, he is still clear in front of the foundation of the country and the beauties, even if he is not clear, the children who can inherit the throne will not sit idly by and watch him take the ancestral inheritance to the Ling family for burial.

The news spread quickly, and for a while, Zhubu Kingdom shook.

But the shock is the shock, and in a short period of time, no one dares to jump out and make waves.

Because anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is Xuanxin Peak's men and horses in tandem to take revenge, and Xue Zhoucheng was ashamed before he was captured.

Xuan Xin Feng is still very deterrent.

Even if the name of Xuanxin Peak is not mentioned, there are six Qi Refining Realm cultivators developing in this area, two of them have official titles, and four of them are in the opposition, and on the side of the Beixiao Islands, I heard that there is also a foundation to take care of, which is really not to be underestimated.

It can only be regarded as the Ling family's own bad luck and hit the knife edge.

From beginning to end, Li Zhen and Mu Qingsi did not come forward, but used Zhou as an agent.

Zhou Cheng also knew that as a foundation, the junior brother looked down on these ordinary industries close to the world, and most of them still had to be taken care of by himself and his classmates, and he was not polite to him, and included the shops, manors, and industries in various places under his name in one go.

But there is no need to report the details to Li Zhen, and at the big strategic level, you still have to listen to him.

In the royal capital, in a temporary guild hall, Zhou Cheng informed Li Zhen of the results of dealing with the Ling family, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This time, it's really the wall that everyone pushes." ”

"Why did Senior Brother Zhou say this?" asked Li Zhen.

Zhou Chengdao: "Originally, we came up with evidence of the Ling family's collusion with pirates, and no one believed it, but as soon as Ling Jinfeng and a few enshrined corpses were brought, the other families immediately raised their flags to help us eradicate the Ling family's forces." ”

Hearing this, Li Zhen smiled and said, "Of course, whether the Ling family colluded with pirates or not is just a righteous name, and if you want them to participate in the action, it can only be profitable or go with the flow."

Originally, they didn't have to expect any great effort, at most, they just fell into the ground. ”

Zhou Chengdao: "Even if we fall into the ground, it will indeed help a lot, otherwise our foundation in Zhubu is not solid enough, and there is no way to deal with the Ling family forces scattered in all directions."

By the way, a few of us summed it up, and felt that if the people in our own family divided the power of the Ling family and put it in their own pockets, it would be too petty to be angry, and if the accounts were not clear, it would be unreasonable to cause trouble for future generations.

Simply follow the local customs, set up a new business house in accordance with the rules here, and take refuge in the local business alliance, which can be regarded as a formal membership. ”

"Oh?" Li Zhen said with a smile, "Do you want to try the development route of the Golden Avenue and operate your own forces here?"

"No, it won't work. Zhou Cheng felt a little palpitating, "Our Qi Refining Cultivators are immortal masters in the eyes of mortals, but in the eyes of real monks, they are nothing, and they are still too passive. ”

Li Zhen said: "That's fine, although the immortal sect doesn't look down on these businessmen, but if there is no hope of immortality, the intention is also excellent." ”

Zhou Chengdao: "We can handle the matter of joining the association, I have inquired, the rules of the chamber of commerce are to bring capital to participate in shares and conspire to do great things, but in fact, it is still the set of princes."

Zhubu has its own business district in Zhubu country, and the general association above can't control it, at best, it is just to guide the general direction, so if we want to seek the position of steward, as long as we have enough assets, we can influence the situation here.

After all the calculations, we still have to run this business house well and win in the business road. ”

He also said: "This business bank is essentially taken from the Ling family by your junior brother, you account for seventy percent of the shares, and we will start to operate it, so we will account for thirty percent."

The Ling family is expected to be the shell of the Yue Commercial Bank under the name of the Ling family, I don't think there is even a need to change the name, secretly in the name of the moon sand island, but the business scope is some seafood and curiosities, not too much and junior brother your expectations, as long as you invest a sum of money to transform. ”

Li Zhen said: "It doesn't matter, in the future, I will send some incense shop managers who have mastered the manufacturing process of Xinling incense, and then give priority to supplying you with some useful incense products, making a name for yourself, and naturally you will be able to make a lot of money." ”

The two discussed it and planned to transform it into a merchant force specializing in the trading of all kinds of incense and spiritual incense.

The big proprietors on the bright side are Zhou Cheng and Yi Yi, and several brothers and sisters have their own dry shares, which can be regarded as supporting them to spread out here and establish a family, so that they can become a strong party in the future and take care of each other with their own Yuesha Island.

Li Zhen didn't worry too much about these things, and it wasn't until he finally summed it up that he learned that he had squeezed out more than 1.6 million yuan of cash flow from the Ling family's assets.

Sure enough, it is worthy of being a powerful family that can afford to support Qi refining offerings, and the ancestor who created the family business is a Qi refining cultivator, and after many generations of accumulation, the cash has exceeded the entire net worth of many reckless cultivators.

At this time, Zhou Cheng talked about another important thing.

"By the way, Senior Brother Li, have you ever heard that Steward Yuan, who is in charge here, plans to auction off those magic weapon treasure ships that he has recently obtained, so as to share the profits with the masters who participated in the suppression of pirates. ”

Li said: "I have heard of it, but I don't know the specific situation yet. ”

Zhou Chengdao: "Then let me talk about it, this kind of magic weapon treasure ship is indeed a ship with the ability to go to sea, if it can add a few hands as the assets of the trading house, it will also have the ability to sail to the Beixiao Islands, so it will be greatly beneficial to the development." ”

Li Zhen was slightly surprised, and immediately thought about it: "Senior Brother Zhou, what you said is extremely true, then you have been paying more attention to this news recently, and I will also ask." ”

Zhou Chengdao: "I think most of the big forces here have treasure ships, and the word "sea" of the Four Seas Association was originally based on the sea. ”

After Li Zhen went back, he told Mu Qingsi about the matter, and Mu Qingsi also agreed.

But the problem also comes, they really don't have a more in-depth and detailed understanding, and the matter of maritime affairs still depends on the people of the Money Road.

"Just ask Sister Yuxian. Mu Qingsi reminded, "Needless to say, she must be an expert in this area." ”

Li Zhen then took out the communication talisman and contacted it.

"You want to buy a sea boat?" Shang Yuxian muttered when he heard this, "Why did you go to Zhubu Country and make a windfall?"

"It's hard to explain this matter, to put it simply, it is to find out that the local powerful colluded with pirates to plot against my senior brother, and took the opportunity to clean them up......" Li Zhen explained briefly, of course, he would not reveal more things, and there was no need to let Shang Yuxian know for the time being.

Shang Yuxian said: "When it comes to sea ships, we have to distinguish between ordinary sea ships and treasure ships above magic weapons, I believe you also know this distinction Li Daoyou, right?"

Li Zhen said: "I know a little, it is also called a sea ship, built with the power of a secular dynasty, and its navigation ability on the sea is extremely weak, at best, it is only in the near sea, more than a thousand miles away and outside. ”

Shang Yuxian said: "Yes, because the weather in the sea is changeable, and there are many demon cultivators, the sea clan is rampant, there are often huge monsters with a length of more than ten zhang, dozens of zhang, but the spiritual intelligence is extremely low, and they will treat the ship as the same kind or food, and it is impossible for ordinary ships to withstand the toss, only those who are above the grade of magic weapons can meet the most basic conditions for long-distance voyages."

The grade of the magic weapon is divided into ships, warships, and immortal boats......

The specific classification and specialized knowledge must be known by a real shipbuilder. ”

Li Zhen nodded secretly while listening to Shang Yuxian's eloquent words.

The boater, the important weapon of the Chamber of Commerce, must not be overlooked.

Those who can build the treasure ship of the flying boat are called shipbuilders, and all the people from the common people to the monks and masters have extraordinary treatment.

Shang Yuxian said again: "...... Their essence is that they are a kind of large-scale magic weapon.

The value of ordinary magic weapons ranges from tens of thousands, which is roughly equivalent to one to several pieces of low-grade spiritual materials, but this kind of treasure ship is huge, and it should be the same as those buildings and treasure pavilions, which belong to large, giant magic weapons, so the materials used and the difficulty of presiding over the construction have been greatly increased, and the value starts at least more than ten hundreds of thousands, and the more valuable ones can even be compared to the real magic weapons, that is, as high as two or three million!

The reason why there is such a huge gap is because of the different materials used in the materials and the specifications of the construction.

Putting all of this aside for the time being, if you talk about the treasure ships you are going to auction, if there is no accident, they should all be whale-class magic weapons-class treasure ships, and they are also the most common kind of long-distance ships......"

"Whale?"

"Yes, on the sea, this kind of magic weapon treasure ship is divided into whale class, which means that the size of the whale is about ten zhang or so, and the higher level is the fish level, and the body size is more than 100 zhang, because there are giant beasts in the sea, called the emperor, also known as the trout, the sea emperor, and then the upper is the kun level, that is, the super giant treasure ship that reaches more than 1,000 zhang. ”

Li Zhen said: "I see, then why do I often hear the saying of so-and-so flying boats? By the way, most of the people who come and go on Beixiao Island are eel-class flying boats? I think they are more than 100 zhang in size, so they should all belong to this category, right?"

Shang Yuxian smiled: "You have grasped the essentials, yes, this is just according to the body type, there is also a common way to distinguish is the functional difference, roughly divided into sea boats, flying boats and fairy boats, most of the ones that pass on Beixiao Island are fish-level flying boats, my Shang family has a private flying boat, and it is also a treasure for the suppression of luck in the clan, but in recent years, they have not been guarding here, and I have the opportunity to invite you to go up and visit." ”

Li Zhen was puzzled: "Sea boat, flying boat...... Xianzhou ...... I can roughly guess that the sea ship can only float on the water, and the flying boat already has the ability to fly, at least it must be a giant magic weapon, but what does the fairy boat mean?"

Shang Yuxian said: "The immortal boat is a heavy treasure that has the ability to shuttle through the void, can move the gods in various places, and travel quickly!

The value of this kind of thing is actually close to the magic weapon held by some Yuanying masters, which can suppress the luck of a sect, and the cost is not calculated, it is not at all idle to calculate, and there has never been a record of trading and trading. ”

Li Zhen said: "Okay, what I'm asking now seems to be just an ordinary whale-level sea vessel, it stands to reason that hundreds of thousands should be able to be won, right?"

Shang Yuxian said: "I just asked, and I happen to know a little bit of the market - the ships used by the pirates under Lian Li are basically looted, or the old ships purchased from the black market are worth between 300,000 and 500,000, but they only have a total of five in their hands to auction, but there are many forces that want to buy ships, and if you compete in the auction, I am afraid you will have to prepare two or three hundred thousand."

Moreover, this kind of thing is not a boat that can be bought and used as an ordinary treasure, repairing a ship, and daily maintenance costs a lot of money, Li Daoyou, you'd better not pinch 500,000 ships to calculate, at least one million ships. ”

This is a real point, buying a boat is not to just look at it, the biggest difference between it and other magic weapons is that you have to use it!

Li Zhen happily responded: "Thank you for reminding me, I will think it through." ”

After some inquiry, Li Zhen also roughly confirmed that on this trip to Zhubu Country, the talismans obtained by accident totaled two pirate nests and shore assets, a total of about two million talismans, and after deducting miscellaneous additional expenses and preparations, it could only support two or three boats.

This also shows the risk of becoming the owner of the ship - close to 500,000 yuan to buy a ship, equip it with weapons, fuel, recruit good sailors, sit in the monks, etc., and prepare a sum of money for future repairs and maintenance, and one million will go out.

But when a strong wind and waves blew, and then there were some natural and man-made disasters, it was lost......

"Forget it, don't think about those unlucky ones first, just two of them, get two to test the water first, and then consider buying them after making money. ”
