At night, there is silence.

A ghostly figure floated away without a trace, wandering hundreds of miles of sea outside Beixiao Island.

There happened to be a treasure ship returning here, carrying a full load of goods, all from the island nation of Zhesha, thousands of miles away.

Miao Miao ocean, vast and boundless, there are many Zhubu countries, such island countries as the country of Aqili, the big one is thousands of miles in a radius, and the small one is less than a hundred miles, if Li Zhen has no heart sect, but with a supernatural power to establish himself as a king, he can also build a country on Jiuwan Island.

However, most of these islands are barren and bitterly cold, and few of them can be as spiritual and self-sufficient as Jiuwan Island.

In most places, people's livelihood is difficult, with a population of tens or even millions, and even food is a problem.

There are also those natural disasters and demon beasts that are rampant in the sea, and the mortal people are powerless to fight against them, so they have to rely on the monks to survive.

But the monk claims to be an immortal master, and he is extraordinary, and he will not directly rule these mortal people, which is too hard and troublesome, and he mostly supports some secular dynasties to act as kings.

A reliable secular family can form a dynasty that can control hundreds of thousands of years, and even the amount of karmic karma can be used to solve many problems perfectly.

If you really can't eliminate it, then follow the sky and change the dynasty.

Li Zhen found out this time that in the past thousand years, the vassal chamber of commerce of the Zhesha country has been directly under the name of the helm of the Beixiao Island Chamber of Commerce, and the actual controller is the elder in charge of these affairs.

In the Treasure Building, an elder named Zhou Fu opened a number of workshops there with the help of the power of ordinary people, and harvested the immortal spirit mine called red cherry stone.

Recently, Xiangdan has risen, and some Dandao people who know how to make alchemy and pharmaceuticals have been summoned to produce Babao Fuxiangdan.

If it weren't for Li Zhen's clever means, it would be unimaginable that those treasures and goods that were prevalent in the world of cultivating immortals, and the high-end things were actually produced in the black workshops and small workshops in the mundane world.

The water in this line of work is far deeper than expected, and the profits in it are surprisingly high.

However, Li Zhen did not come forward in reality at all, and directly dived into the dream on the boat to reproduce what he saw and heard.

As an invisible fragrance spread, in one of the cabins, Zhou Fu was groggy and fell into a dream.

The first thing that came to mind was the scene where they mined red cherry stone in that country.

In the huge open-pit mine, mud and dust are flying, and the sound of stone chiseling is non-stop.

In the clanging collision, one man after another faced the loess with his back to the sky and picked up the sledgehammer gravel, and then someone poured the soil and gravel into the sieve basin together.

Colourful grease-like things permeate the water, separating the various residues of the mineral soil through secret recipes.

Gradually, the red crystalline powder, which is getting higher and more pure, precipitates underneath and is poured into a furnace for refining and pressing.

When the picture turned, it was a dark and damp place.

It seemed that someone had brought money to the sick miner, and the miner's family was so grateful to Dade that they couldn't help but kneel down to thank him.

Zhou Fu talked to the man who gave the money, and said that red cherry stone is a strange ore with a slight toxicity, but it can be used by monks.

“...... Ordinary people mine this material, poison it into the bone marrow, and within three or five years, the skin will be covered with red spots, like boiling water, and after seven or eight years, teeth and hair will fall out one after another.

By that time, it will be hopeless, and even if it survives, it will be tormented by illness. ”

"So what will they do?"

"Of course, I finish it myself, so as not to drag down my family......"

"Is that so? Will the locals resist becoming miners?"

Although Elder Zhou was relieved, it was not that they didn't know that this thing was poisonous, but that they knew that it was poisonous, and they still had to sign up.

There are no good mountains and rivers in this place, and if you want to survive and support your family, you have to follow our rules.

If you don't want to do it, that's okay, wait for the whole family to starve to death. ”

Li Zhen's heart sank.

In this way, the red cherry stones can be mined using only cheap grain from other places, and then processed at a low cost to create a wealth that even monks cherish.

Although in the eyes of many monks, these are just small profits, but with the accumulation of one piece at a time, the small water flows down for a long time, and the benefits are also considerable.

The monks of the Avenue of Money always seem to be good at creating wealth.

They spare no effort to mine all kinds of treasures and elixirs, and at the same time, they can also give full play to the value of ordinary people, which is very different from those immortal masters like idle clouds and wild cranes in classical legends.

Today, people are greatly affected by it, pay attention to the law of wealth, and wealth is ranked in a high position.

"It's good to be able to live, and we can count it as doing good deeds......

"Yes, look at their thanksgiving to Dade, if God had known, it would only bless and bless our inheritance here......"

In the dream, Zhou Fu was still talking to those worldly magnates.

Li Zhen, who was deep in the netherworld, snorted coldly, and spent a little more effort, unconsciously guiding the dream.

Finally, the scenes of the Xiangdan Workshop are also presented.

Sure enough, just as they imagined, they raised some reckless casual cultivators with little reputation, knew how to refine a few hands, alchemy skills, and were willing to drive.

A dignified monk is like a slave craftsman who serves others, but because of his status as a monk, he does enjoy a different kind of food and clothing and respect from those mortals.

This is what many casual cultivators think of changing their lives against the sky, and even themselves will fall here for a time!

"Give them at least 10,000 fu money every year, and dividends from the processing workshop, so that they are willing to work for us.

These people spent decades and accumulated three and a half million yuan, so they had to find a way to buy Tsukidan and fight hard.

Those who succeed build a foundation will be able to enjoy another three to five hundred years of happiness and have a bright future, and those who fail will be no different from ordinary people.

Fellow Daoists, you and I have come over like this, and what we have gained has far exceeded this amount, so what are you not satisfied with......

Zhou Fu was talking to someone.

"Okay, I promise you, but I'm going to get 100,000 yuan a year, and the workshop here will also have eight cents!"

"Eight points can't be more, five points can't be more, Taoist friends need to know that in addition to you, other Taoist friends must also account for one to three shares. ”

"Okay, then it's a ......."

"Don't be like this, it's hard for me to explain to my superiors. ”

Li Zhen watched them bargain, and finally decided on the proportion of sixths and eight percent, and in the end, the person who looked like an old Danshi happily served here and was determined to serve them.

Afterwards, a confidant-like deacon of the Chamber of Commerce said: "Manager Zhou, there are a total of six monks over there, as well as the royal family of the Zhesha country, and the total will account for about 20%, is this really not too much?"

Zhou Fu smiled and said, "I don't know, those people are not necessarily real alchemists, but they all know some pharmacology and can refine some simple pills, but the recipe is provided from above, anyway, if you can't eat the dead, why worry about it?"

It is conceivable that with the intensification of competition and the smaller and smaller profits, these people may deduct at any time, be greedy for ink, and finally refine the pill to a mess.

If you really want to do that kind of thing, just push it out and take the blame for us, there has never been a business that can last for thousands of years, and you will just be fooled. ”

"So, what about their honesty?"

"That's a good use, we still have our own industries in other places, and we have a lot of them......"

Zhou Fu was worthy of the cunning of the veterans of the Chamber of Commerce, and made several arrangements for this matter.

Immediately after that, he instructed his subordinates to prepare the accounts for inspection.

From beginning to end, they are using the resources of the Chamber of Commerce to do their own business, which can be called fake public and private.

When Zhou Fu woke up and opened his eyes, he couldn't help but wonder secretly.

"What's wrong with me?"

Monks rarely dream, let alone one after another.

Suddenly, Zhou Fu's pupils suddenly constricted, and he only felt that the lights in the room were flickering, and he didn't know when there was an extra figure standing.

He was at the desk, looking condescendingly at himself in the chair, as if he had been waiting here for a long time.

"Are you awake?" the figure was carrying a candle on his back, and the monk was supposed to see night as day, but he could only see deep darkness.

Zhou Fu couldn't see the other party's appearance, but he felt that there seemed to be a fog lingering on the other party's body, which was completely impossible to see.

"Dare to ask Your Excellency where is sacred?"

Zhou Fu was able to climb step by step from a small deacon and sit in his current position, which can also be said to be well-informed, and his more than 300 years of Taoist experience have also given him far more experience than ordinary mortals.

He didn't shout, nor did he rashly trigger the ban on the magic circle in the room, but just forced his composure and asked in a deep voice.

"You don't care who I am, just know that Elder Xiong behind you has provoked someone who should never be provoked. ”

Li Zhen chuckled, not hiding the slightest hint of his intentions.

"Are you coming for Elder Xiong?" Zhou Fu gathered his thoughts and secretly screamed.

The person who can be the enemy of Elder Xiong must at least be a true cultivator, how can the immortals get involved in the fight?

In all fairness, he was absolutely unwilling to get involved in this kind of turmoil, but as Elder Xiong's henchman, it seemed that he would not be spared.

"You should be his confidant, do you have anything in your hand that can bring him down?" asked Li Zhen.

"How could there be such a thing?" Zhou Fu said inexplicably.

Li Zhen said: "Doesn't your Chamber of Commerce pay attention to checks and balances, an Elder Jiedan, although he has a true cultivation, but his more important identity is still a member of the forces to which the Chamber of Commerce belongs."

He is in an important position, he gives orders, and the authority in his hands is indispensable, and when I say that he is overthrown, it is only to bring him down from this position. ”

Jiedan Zhenxiu is not so easy to deal with, and the Chamber of Commerce has no reason to kill such a person, at most, it will remove his authority and replace him with another Jiedan master.

Zhou Fu said cautiously: "Your Excellency, I understand, Elder Xiong has indeed embezzled public funds, and has also colluded with some powerful figures......

Li Zhen said: "There is no basis for words, it is better to have an account book or something like that, as well as your signed confession." ”

"Recently, I embezzled a sum of money from the Treasure Building to open a workshop in Zhesha Country, I don't know if it counts?" Zhou Fu replied, but his eyes seemed to flicker a little.

"Count. Li said.

"Please wait a moment, and I will give you the account book. "Zhou Fu is honest.

At Li Zhen's signal, he stood up, walked to the corner, and stretched out his hand to a picture of an antique lady.

It turned out to be a treasure painted with a special dye, and the ladies inside stood against the railing, and behind them were the furnishings of the boudoir.

One of the humble cabinets is where valuables are stored.

With ripples like water waves, his arm reached into the inexplicable void, and soon after, he took out what he wanted from it.

At this moment, a divine thought searched.

"Zhou Fu, what's the matter?"

Zhou Fu froze for a moment, looked at Li Zhen in front of him, and sensed the divine thought again.

Li Zhen looked at him with a smile, looking indifferent.

Zhou Fudao: "Elder Xue, you ...... Didn't you sense anything?"

Hearing this, the divine sense became vigilant, and swept around the room, but it turned out to be a daze for Li Zhen, who was close at hand.

"Sense something, don't play dumb riddles!"

Zhou Fu was stunned for a while before he said, "There seems to be some qi outside the window." ”

The divine thought transmitted: "There are many demon beasts in the sea, but they generally don't deliberately trouble the treasure ship, and the threatening big demon has our own to deal with." ”

The implication is that don't be startled and disturb people's cultivation.

Zhou Fu showed a hint of ignorance on his face, not knowing whether to cry or laugh, and said respectfully: "You have learned a lesson, it may be cetaceans or other sea beasts passing by. ”

The thought quickly receded, and there was no more sound.

Zhou Fu looked at Li Zhen's expression, but he was a little more frightened.

The movement just now was naturally a signal he secretly sent out, asking for help from the Yudan Offering that sat on the treasure ship.

But the other party took it without any waves!

To be honest, this is even more terrifying than a big battle and defeating the town guard elder who is with the ship!

Zhou Fu had no other thoughts, honestly handed over the account book, and began to think about running away.

But Li Zhen said: "You can rest assured, after bringing down Xiong Feiyu, everything will be as usual, and your subordinates will not be implicated, and now you need to stay to stabilize him." ”

Zhou Fu was shocked again.

This...... What does this mean?

What Zhou Fu didn't know was that almost overnight, all the managers of the Qizhen Building who were targeted by Li Zhen were found at the door, and they were so openly coerced and lured in front of the big array.

He had tested this great array many times, and he had already grasped the measure.

A few hours later, all the collected evidence was thrown in front of Yun Li, an elder of the Treasure Building who had been at odds with Xiong Feiyu for a long time.

If Xiong Feiyu falls, he will have the best chance to replace him.

Yun Li is also a monk in the realm of Yudan, and after calming down, he couldn't help but be surprised and happy.

What the hell is going on, who is the divine dealing with Xiong Feiyu, and what can he do?
