Summing up this trip to Yuzhou Shanfang City, Shen Yun came to the conclusion that he could enter and exit Yuzhou Shanfang City, as if no one was in a strange place. My strength has increased greatly and become stronger, which is one reason. What is more important is the grace of the patriarch.

The knowledge in the jade slip opened his eyes, and he felt comfortable walking in the market. The most obvious fact is that if he hadn't learned the Formation Breaking Technique in the Jade Slip and knew what the Five Evil Arrays were all about, even if he had the spiritual power of the third layer of the foundation, it was very likely that he would have broken into the hands of Boss He today.

And He Lao was just a cultivator in the late stage of the Qi refining period.

In the world of cultivation, although it is said that "cultivating to a higher level crushes people to death", with the blessing of many external factors such as talismans, arrays, and instruments, it is not impossible for monks to kill people beyond the ranks.

Originally, Shen Yun planned to go to Yuzhou Shanfang City again in ten days, but now, he changed his mind: first, although the four Formation Crushers dressed in guard clothes were not killed by him, he really couldn't get out of it. And the guards were openly killed in the Fang City, and the owner who wanted to come to the Fang City would not give up. In terms of the tuyere, it is better for him not to go to the Fang Market for the time being, and besides, he finds that he still knows too little about the cultivation world. Therefore, the most urgent thing for him now is not to learn alchemy, but to read the jade Jane passed down by the ancestor as soon as possible; of course, there is also a very realistic reason, that is, the spirit stones on his body are not enough, and he can't find a way to earn spirit stones in the near future, and ten days later, when he goes to Yuzhou Shanfang City, he can only go in vain, wasting time.

After sorting out this, he calmed down and used all his free time to study the jade slips hungrily.

In the blink of an eye, it's the end of the year again. Except for those jade slips that recorded alchemy and "Qinglian Supreme Merit", Shen Yun finally finished reading the rest.

I thought that after reading these jade slips, I would find out what the Tao was. As a result, he found himself still confused.

In the jade slips, he saw the patriarch mention "entering the Tao with pills" many times, so he couldn't help but guess: Could it be that the answer is hidden in the jade slips that record alchemy.

In this way, he really needs an alchemy furnace.

Since the last time I went to Yuzhou Shanfang City, more than half a year has passed. Shen Yun pondered, the turmoil over the killing of the four guards should have subsided. On this day, he returned home from a book collector's errand and said to Qi Bo, "Two days after tomorrow, I will go out." ”

At this moment, Li Yi and Zhao Xuan came in from the outside as if they were burning their buttocks - Li Yi was the big shopkeeper, and for more than a year, they gradually gained Shen Yun's weight. He and Zhao Xuan are the only two people who do not need to communicate when they enter the East Wing.

Shen Yun waved his hand to Qi Bo and asked, "What's wrong?" Both of them are extremely stable people, if it weren't for the 100,000 urgent things, they wouldn't be in a hurry like this.

Qi Bo never asked about the operation of the shop, and when he saw this, he hugged his fists and saluted the two, turned around and went out.

"My lord, something is wrong. Li Yi was really anxious. In the cold weather, he didn't even wear an outer coat, only an ordinary cloth robe came over, but his head was still full of beads of sweat. At first glance, you can tell that it is a cold sweat that comes out in a hurry.

In contrast, Zhao Xuan was dressed neatly, but his face was also anxious.

"You two sit down first. Don't rush, speak slowly. Shen Yun greeted.

The sound like a clear spring made Li Yi's heart reassured. He smiled apologetically, and sat down with Zhao Xuan: "In the past few days, there have been more and more yacha who have come to the shop to wander around. Before, I thought that the New Year was approaching, and the yamen came out to get some New Year's money. This is a common occurrence. Therefore, the reception of each shop is the same as before. No, those people took money, and it became more and more excessive. They have a fearless appearance, and it is clear that there is someone behind them. In that case, things will go out of their way. I asked Botang to help inquire. Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Zhao Xuan, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, "Next, Botang, you know best, it's up to you to say." ”

Zhao Xuan saw that Shen Yun had no objection, nodded and said: "Our people followed these yacha, followed the vine, and quickly found the Shunwang Mansion. It was Prince Shun who fell in love with our shop. ”

Since the business was on the right track, Shen Yun didn't even read the account books in the shop, and handed them all over to Qi Bo. Last year, a total of 300,000 taels of dividends were paid in the shop, and this year, according to Qi Bo's guess, the dividends will be less. It's still making money after all. For this reason, Qi Bo praised Shen Yun for seeing far, integrating all the shops early, and seizing the opportunity.

"Lord Shun, isn't he the little uncle of the Immortal Emperor?" Shen Yun sneered, "The shop is so profitable all year round, and the dignified prince is actually embarrassed to stretch out his hand!"

Zhao Xuan replied: "If it was a few years ago, Prince Shun would not look down on us." Nowadays, business is becoming more and more difficult to do, and the legitimate business that can make a decent living without losing money is less than forty percent of the immortals. There are very few shops like ours that can make some money all year round. Prince Shun wants to deliver a message through the yacha, and he wants us to attach ourselves to him. ”

"It's come to this point?" Shen Yun was not surprised. For more than a year, he has been practicing with all his heart, reading jade slips, and ignoring things outside the window. Suddenly hearing that the market outside was so bad, I felt like a world away.

Li Yi and Zhao Xuan both nodded.

"Everyone is sitting and eating, and the days are getting more and more intense. In addition, the rebels in the south have not been defeated, and the official road can be blocked for more than 20 days in a month. This summer, several major grain-producing regions have been devastated by the disaster. The guys who collected the grain broke their legs, and they barely managed to collect the autumn grain. The trade route of grain and rice is also becoming more and more difficult to walk. Even if we don't reach out to the prince today, I'm afraid our shop won't last long. Li Yi sighed worriedly.

Last year, after Shen Yun's integration, more than 70 shops all switched to the grain and rice business, collecting, transporting, storing, and selling grain...... Each has a role. More than 70 shops earn all the sweat bead money.

"Next year's summer grain, is it difficult to harvest?" Shen Yun had been in the Zhuangzi for a few years and knew what the life of the farmers was like. Most of them have no savings and rely on the weather for food. Therefore, it is the group of people who can't resist the disaster. The year is good, and I can barely make ends meet. Once disaster strikes, they have no choice but to flee with their families and mouths. Without them farming, where would there be next year's summer grain?

Li Yi nodded: "Since the integration, we have gradually added some Zhuangzi in various grain-producing areas as planned. Three of last year's autumn grain achievements came from these additions. But if all the summer grain next year is counting on these Zhuangzi, I am afraid it will not work. First, there is not enough manpower, and second, most of the Zhuangzi are in the south, and the official road is becoming more and more difficult to walk, and there is no grain to transport. In addition, it is estimated that after the winter, the number of displaced people in the surrounding area will increase instead of decreasing. I don't know how much I can get by then for the food I planted. ”
