"It's finally solved, this time, Senior Brother Zhou and their foundation are more solid, and they don't have to worry about being cheated against.

Unless the pirates give birth to a new ten-master, they continue to trouble them. ”

In mid-April, the matter here finally came to an end, and Li Zhen and Mu Qingsi reported the matter to Huang Yunzhen.

When Huang Yunzhen heard this, there was no fluctuation, but he said lightly: "It's so good." ”

Li Zhen said: "Ancestor, what I'm worried about now is that the Blood Shark Thieves will come to retaliate again, and ...... by that time."

Huang Yunzhen said: "The main business of the Blood Shark Thieves is to plunder everywhere, how can they be full of food and keep an eye on them? If they dare to do so, I will let Han Gusheng and Lin Li go over and let them taste what it means to be punished even if they are far away!"

When Li Zhen heard this, he was relieved.

Back in the room, a simple temporary magic circle was deployed with spirit stones and talismans, and the qi machine was shielded and isolated from the inside and outside.

Placed under the south wall is a wooden incense table, on which is placed a copper incense burner, which contains white rice and incense lamps with bright flames on each side.

Three sticks of incense were inserted on the stove, emitting curling smoke, and a light smell of agarwood emanated, filling the entire room.

Several magic weapons seized this time have already been offered on the case, and the power of the spirit incense has been used to sacrifice and practice.

Li Zhen stepped forward to inspect it, added lamp oil to the incense lamp, and then his eyes fell on the huge sword in front of him.

This thing is not suitable for your own use, but after all, it is also a magic weapon, and it is worth a few dollars.

"Find a chance to sell it on the black market and dispose of it?"

He looked at the mask and the Frostbreath Bow again.

"These two are good treasures, and they can be called practical, so let's stay. ”

At this moment, Mu Qingsi pushed open the door and walked in.

"Husband, the matter here is over, should we take the ship of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce back?"

Li Zhen said: "Don't worry, the ships of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce have a fixed date, and I want to stay here for a while, to inspect the spice market and the environment for the development of incense, and then we will go back again." ”

"Spice market, incense environment?" Mu Qingsi looked puzzled.

Li Zhen explained: "The island country here has a tropical climate, and all kinds of agarwood, stack incense, honey incense, and borneol plants are easy to grow, but due to the cultivation system and cultural inheritance, the corresponding incense culture has not been developed, so no matter the immortals, their understanding of these kinds is insufficient.

In addition, there are seafood products such as stone rice incense that you told you before, they are used as ordinary non-flowing spiritual materials, and they value their medicinal value, not others.

There may be some local specialties that will be lost in the sea and have never been noticed by me.

We live in the Beixiao Islands, although we are close to the distribution market of the Beihai rudder, and we can see the world's spiritual materials and rare department stores, but most of them are carefully selected and valuable from various regions, and many things that are not high enough or have not yet been discovered may not be available. ”

When Mu Qingsi heard this, she couldn't help but nodded: "That's the same." ”

Although she doesn't know much about the way of business, she also understands that those ships go back and forth to hand over and lease cargo holds, all of which cost money.

These expenses become a filtering tool, eliminating all the things that do not meet the expectations of profit ratios, and even if they occasionally slip through the net, they will certainly not last long.

Businessmen do things, they all come for profit, and go for profit.

What is valuable is useful, and what is not valuable is useless.

But it doesn't matter so much else.

However, not all raw spices are valuable.

Between useful and useless, it is not possible to judge so rashly.

What ordinary businessmen can do is to go with the flow, but Li Zhen has the confidence to redefine the value of materials and grasp the power of incense words.

Since they have all come here, there is no reason not to take a good look at the customs and customs here, as well as various specialties.

I didn't have time to do these things before, and I didn't have the heart to do them, but now, I can finally do them.

......

The next day, Li Zhen and Mu Qingsi went on a trip and came to the place where the Mochizuki Trading House arranged for the workers to do miscellaneous labor.

"Let's get this in order. ”

"And that scaffolding, what to do with it, dismantle it!"

The headquarters of this trading house was set up in the most prosperous city of monks' shops in the royal capital, but the warehouses where the goods were stocked and the workshops that produced semi-finished products were not there, but in the southern suburbs of the royal capital.

When everyone entered, the steward of the trading house who was in charge of the renovation was directing several handymen to do things.

"Yo, the golden shopkeeper, you're here, these are ......"

The golden shopkeeper who led Li Zhen and the others in looked at Li Zhan, and turned to the steward: "Let's come here to have a look, you are busy with yours." ”

The person in charge is a man with eyes, where is he willing to really do this, he hurriedly nodded and said: "The little one is about to report to the gold shopkeeper, everything has been arranged here, a total of twenty-three people from the business bank have been discharged, fifty-five orders have been settled, and sixteen new deacons have been arranged......

"You're doing a good job, what about the helpers who came in?" Li suddenly interjected.

The steward had already noticed Li Zhen and the others, and at a glance he knew that the origin was not simple, so he hurriedly said: "This son, are you talking about the group of people who came in ten days ago?"

"Yes, how are they now?" asked Lee.

The steward said: "They are all doing some chores here, these people don't know what to do, and they don't even know a basket of big characters, but because they are ordered from above, they are all arranged, and it just so happened that a group of people related to the Ling family were dismissed some time ago, and there is a shortage of manpower in all aspects......"

Hearing this, Li Zhen nodded secretly, and didn't say anything, but went in to check for himself.

Sure enough, he walked around inside and found that the gang was either moving and lifting, or sprinkling and sweeping the court, and tending to the flowers and plants, all of which had their own arrangements.

Mu Qingsi said: "Husband, these are the mortals you rescued from that nameless desert island?"

"Yes, some of them are seafaring strangers whose relatives have died, and some are coastal fishermen, or the daughters of coastal islands who have been spoiled by pirates, who are also homeless.

Since I have saved people, I will simply save them to the end and arrange a way for them to live.

As for the others, they have been entangled and sent home. ”

Mu Qingsi said: "Pirates are really harmful. ”

Li Zhen said: "In fact, pirates and bandits are inseparable, and the original source of some pirates was also serious businessmen, and there were also pirates who plundered and took advantage of the convenience of ports to buy and sell......

Others are simply the result of vicious competition in business, specializing in plundering peers and robbing competitors, and then discovering huge profits before expanding their operations and plundering all passing merchant ships.

All these are serious evils and have seriously affected the national economy and people's livelihood of various maritime countries, but there will always be a small number of people who benefit from them, so they have been repeatedly banned. ”

Mu Qingsi said: "In the final analysis, it is still a matter of atmosphere. ”

"I prefer to call it ecology. The word "ethos" is too moralistic and too pragmatic.

The road of money of all countries in the sea is prevalent, and the problem of piracy is also bred because of this, if there is a road to make money, there are many people who live, there are few people who eat, those who are sick for it, and those who use it are comfortable, then the wealth will be abundant.

Since the wealth is abundant, there will not be so many bandits who are willing to take risks and rob others.

Even if he is as strong as the Blood Shark King, he is just a tool man who occupies a special ecological niche.

In heaven and in people, if there is no time to catch the wind, it is impossible for him to dominate the sea for so long by his own strength.

Why he has been able to stand for so many years, or, if you think about it further, why almost every era, there are reckless heroes like the Blood Shark King, this is a question worth pondering. ”

"What does the husband mean is that the black market ecology of the Money Avenue needs such a big pirate?" Mu Qingsi said thoughtfully.

Li Zhen smiled and didn't say anything, but thought of another question.

If one's path can develop smoothly, what kind of ecological position should one occupy between heaven and earth?

Or, how should one's own destiny be arranged and controlled?

You can't be reduced to the same as these people, who plunder by force and start as robbers, right?

There are thousands of reasons for the existence of incense, but there is only one point, and that is useful!

And it is useful, and it is divided into small use for ordinary people, and great use for monks' cultivation.

This is the foundation of its own foothold, and it is also the value of production and creation.

However, at that time, it was not only the sea, but also the world, there were pirates everywhere, robbers everywhere, there were no means to protect the way, and the supernatural power was powerful, and no matter how much production and creation were in vain.

I hate to press the gold thread every year and make wedding clothes for others......

Is this not just a problem of piracy?

This is a problem that no one can avoid in the world.

Li Zhen looked up at the sky, and suddenly felt that this island country in the middle of the sea was filled with an indescribable special smell.

It wasn't intense, nor was it as strong and disgusting as the stench of rotting corpses and burning bones of the past, but it was just as lingering and uncomfortable.

"Huh? It's like...... It smells of copper?"

In the realization of this, this feeling quickly disappeared.

But the feeling of epiphany remained, and Li Zhen was surprised to find that he could smell the smell of copper!

The steward in front of him, the copper smell is weak, and he may be a person whose mind is not in this area.

After all, there is a law that is pressing, and it is still among the bearable.

Li Zhen turned his head to look at the golden shopkeeper beside him, and as he focused, the smell seemed to become stronger, and it was far better than the steward.

"Could it be that this golden shopkeeper is an extremely greedy person?"

"That's not right!"

Suddenly, Li Zhen smelled a copper smell that was far superior to that of the steward and the shopkeeper, almost reaching a thousand times that of them!

It turned out to be from himself, as well as from his wife.

"I see! I'm covered in copper too!

It's a symbol of wealth!"

Li Zhen had no waves in his heart, and even wanted to laugh.

It seems that with his own understanding, all of a sudden, the sky is full of copper stench, which is no different from the past robbery.

But this does not seem to be a calamity, but a small bond that accompanies daily life and a state of mind.

He tried to divert his attention, and finally suppressed the copper stench.

His talent for smelling incense is more akin to a kind of spiritual perception, which is closely related to cognition and attention.

If the cognition is distorted, the incense is the smell, and the smell is the fragrance, and the smell can also be reversed.

He was already very experienced by this time, so he was free to control himself from smelling the smell of copper, but he could still reproduce it when necessary.

This may have an additional ability, and that is to detect the wealth of other people's names, or something related to them.

At first glance, this doesn't seem to be a god's eyebrows, but the road of money leads to cause and effect, and this copper smell is very likely to be the presentation of some kind of causal power!

If that were the case, then its person would be extraordinary.

The shopkeeper and steward here didn't know that Li Zhen had quietly experienced an enlightenment-like breakthrough, and he had already mastered the essentials of "copper smell" and vaguely grasped the cause and effect of money.

They led Li Zhen and Mu Qingsi inside to visit the various facilities here.

Li Zhen looked at it casually, and quickly turned his attention to some of the shelves left here, which still contained some various treasures used by ordinary people.

"The spiritual material business that these mortal families can do is extremely limited, but even for reckless casual cultivation, the same is true......

The spiritual materials that I have been exposed to all year round are three or five, and there are more than a dozen non-mainstream products.

There are only two or three, three or five that can really belong to you.

Even so, it is impossible to really put so many mundane materials without doing them, and many of them are still very useful. ”

Mu Qingsi said: "The incense shop of the husband's family, it used to be like this, right? It is mainly based on mundane things, mixed with some spiritual materials that are rare and rare for mortals......

Li Zhen smiled and said, "The scale of our business in the past was much smaller than that of the Ling family, but at this time, looking back at the past, I realized that there were some frogs at the bottom of the well. ”

The past is unbearable, and he didn't even have any channels to contact the monks back then.

The commerce of the Xuanxin Kingdom is not prosperous, and even if there are thousands of means, there is no way to use it.

"Hey, husband, come and see, what is this?"

Suddenly, Mu Qingsi came to the side with a little curiosity, and pointed to the things that were loaded in a box, in a glass bottle, and looked more expensive than other things.

It contained a pale red liquid, the bottle was sealed, but it seemed to have a fragrant flow, and when it was closer, it was full of fragrance.

Li Zhen came over to take a look, and immediately said: "This is Rose Dew, also known as Drunken Incense, which is produced by Haiguo. ”

"Is this a rose dew?" Mu Qingsi looked incredulous, "Husband, I don't know as much about incense as you, but I've also seen roses, and we still grow them at home." ”

She is talking about the roses that climb the vine trellises in the water pavilion at home, and after moving to Yuesha Island, they have been replanted, and now they are lush and full of flowers.

Li Zhen said: "The varieties are different. ”

Orange is born in Huainan is orange, born in Huaibei is orange, the natural environment is different, the climatic conditions are different, it is indeed impossible to generalize.

When he said this, he couldn't help but move in his heart, stepped forward to look at it carefully, and gradually showed a strange look on his face.
