Chapter 416: Heartbeat
When he left the ancestral hall, Zhuang Yuanlang was still stupid, his expression changed for a while, and it was fun to watch.
Feng Zhiping was refreshed, humming a minor tune and writing on the wooden sign "Marrying a wife is smooth, everything is fine" eight big characters, regardless of whether it matches other brands with "one fell swoop" and "smooth career", in Niu Chunhan's strange eyes, he hung it on the "champion tree" with his own hands, flicked his fingers and watched the sign sway back and forth, and smiled extremely happily.
Out of the Zhuangyuan Temple, walking on the street, Feng Zhiping smiled without looking back: "Lao Niu, you said that my wish will definitely come true, right? After all, even the 'true god' has been met." ”
Niu Chunhan dared to say no, hesitated a little after echoing the two sentences, and said with some worry: "Young master, is it appropriate for you to play a child like this? He is always a member of the imperial court, and he may have to be transferred to Yushitai after a while, do you know that the poor sour people in Yushitai have always been at odds with Hou Ye, if they know about this, won't they give them another handle with a rotten tongue?"
"Chewing is also chewing the old man's tongue, so I don't have to worry about it. Feng Zhiping smiled indifferently, and then smiled, "Besides, it's not all a trick, and the plan I told him in the end, I think it's feasible." ”
Niu Chunhan was speechless: "How is it feasible? Only raising demon beasts violates the law! If Lord Tong dares to mention it, the officials have to take it away, and if they can't do it, they will have to squat." ”
Feng Zhiping slowed down, turned his head, and looked inexplicable: "Who said that you want to keep a real demon beast in captivity?"
"What you said!" Niu Chunhan's expression was aggrieved, "I heard it right, Master Tong also heard it." ”
Feng Zhiping glanced at him: "I heard clearly, what I asked was, who said that the 'real' demon beast should be kept in captivity?"
Niu Chunhan was stunned: "Uh, what do you mean?"
"Stupid!" Feng Zhiping said angrily, "The imperial court is not allowed to raise and buy demon beasts, but the law says that it is not allowed to raise and buy Yunhai monsters, especially bloodthirsty fierce demons and big demons, each of which must be filed and allowed to be raised." Note that it is the words monster, fierce demon, and big demon, not demon beasts! We usually say that although they are collectively referred to as demon beasts, the imperial court has a special definition of demon beasts, and half-demons of mixed blood are also demon beasts, and they are specifically referred to in the law, such as hairy sheep, cows with many milk, and military horses, these are demon beasts, understand?"
Niu Chunhan suddenly said: "I see, you are going to take advantage of the loophole!"
"What do you mean by exploiting loopholes, I call it doing things according to the rules, okay?"
Feng Zhiping glanced at him viciously and asked, "You are a person who practices martial arts, think about it, when did you start from the day you heard about the Yunhai Demon Beast to the time you saw and fought in person?"
Niu Chunhan thought about it carefully: "It should be when I was twenty-eight years old, the Shui Yuntian Secret Realm was opened, and our army was ordered to go to maintain stability and explore, at that time I was still quasi-congenital, and I almost died in it. ”
In the end, Niu Chunhan shivered lightly, with an unbearable expression.
Feng Zhiping also remembered the days when he strayed into the depths of Milong Mountain, and escaped by luck when he encountered a demon beast for the first time, and then the demons were surrounded by a group of demons and had to take tiger dung all over his body to avoid danger, and he was also extremely emotional for a while.
At that time, if he hadn't been in a hurry, he would definitely have died there, and this wisdom was also born because of Feng Moxiu, if it weren't for him and Feng Moxiu, one likes to listen to stories and the other likes to tell, he wouldn't have thought of that kind of way, even then it was quite dangerous.
Briefly talking about this past, Feng Zhiping sighed and said: "You and I have both seen Yunhai monsters, and we know how terrifying and evil those ghost things are, and I heard that it is completely different from experience. Let me ask you, if there was a chance for you to experience what it was like to face a monster first, would you be willing?"
"Yes!" Niu Chunhan replied very affirmatively, the most valuable and practical experience of personal experience is far from being comparable to listening to others.
"So, this gives us a chance!" Feng Zhiping smiled, "You think so, I think so, there are many martial artists who think like us, and it is not an exaggeration to say that everyone has them." Many warriors are poor, they don't have the treasure blades to take advantage of, they don't have the money to buy the elixir of cultivation, the magic medicine for healing, and they have no background if they want to get these things, they can only go to the major secret realms to adventure, but not every secret realm is as gentle as the Lost Dragon Mountain, the high risk has a high reward, the higher the risk, the greater the return, but a mistake, it will be their own life. ”
"We can't let them face the real monsters, and they can't deal with them if they really get them, but the half-blood monsters can do it. Half-demons don't have the power of true demons, but they are much stronger than ordinary beasts, and the bloodline of demon beasts allows them to retain the ferocity and habits of true demons, and they are quite good to practice. In fact, the major factions have been doing this kind of thing all along, captive all kinds of demon beasts so that their disciples can constantly contact and fight, which can not only improve their actual combat experience, but also exercise their confidence and courage. However, only the disciples of this sect can enjoy this kind of treatment, and they are basically the elites of the inner sect, and the other disciples and many loose cultivators on the rivers and lakes can only watch with their eyes, if we build a training ground like this and open it to everyone, do you think they will not come?"
Niu Chunhan thought so, looked impressed, leaned closer and said, "In this way, does the young master want to cooperate with Master Tong?" But looking at Lord Tong's expression, I probably won't agree." ”
"It doesn't matter who you work with, it doesn't matter if you're here, it's feasible to do important things!" Feng Zhiping's eyes lit up and his expression was excited, "Seriously, I never thought that I could come up with such a money-making idea, at first I just wanted to play Tong Jian, but I didn't expect to say that I was moved, hehe~!
"Of course, the young master is the first in the world in terms of intelligence!"
Niu Chunhan skillfully held his stinky feet, and then said in a low voice: "But young master, don't talk about anything else, just say that the demon beast, the half-demon that echoes your standard must be expensive, plus the cost of transportation, breeding, care, etc., it is not a small amount!
"It's not simple, according to the male and female, give birth to your own children! It's the same as raising chickens, you raise chickens and don't lay eggs just to buy cubs?"
Feng Zhiping waved his hand indifferently, with a gloomy expression: "Don't worry about feed, why do you think I want to strictly divide the grades, and make a special statement that someone will come to sign the certificate of life and death? Find those omnivorous, multi-born, it is best to eat even stones, the kind of eight cubs that burst in a litter, as long as the customers are continuous, their 'rations' will not be broken, and there are not many that we need to add, so it is more difficult at the beginning, and it will be good to form a cycle and stabilize." ”
Niu Chunhan felt a chill in his heart, he didn't expect that his young master would be this idea.
"This, is it appropriate?"
"What's inappropriate?" Feng Zhiping snorted, "The imperial court only protects good people, the people of the rivers and lakes are not good citizens, whether they live or die, the imperial court doesn't care at all, instead of letting them fight with others for trivial things, what is wrong with using their lives to accumulate experience that can really live and be rewarded? Not to mention that their lives are lives, and the lives of demon beasts are also lives, all of them are lives, who is cheaper than whom? Fighting for life, who lives and who dies depends on their ability, if they die, their skills are not as good as others, and there is no need to complain." You and I are half of the people of the rivers and lakes, and we should know that the rules of the rivers and lakes have always been that of the weak and the strong, and that the winner is respected, and that tears are the most worthless, and this is the rule of the rivers and lakes, and if you can't accept it, don't go into the rivers and lakes! If you don't join the army to serve the country, or you find a sect that can accept you, and you don't want to be free and don't want to take risks, how can there be such a good thing in the world? If you do casual cultivation, you must have the consciousness of doing casual cultivation, and if you don't have enlightenment, you might as well go home and farm!"
Niu Chunhan was silent, thinking that this was indeed the case.
The rivers and lakes are very large, dragons and snakes are mixed, there are old grievances every day, and at the same time there are new feuds concluded, there are countless bloody cases that occur every day, and handing them over to the government can make the yamen tired and paralyzed, how many nameless bones are buried in the wilderness, and how many pan snow souls are buried on the mass graves.
Life and death are too common for the people of the rivers and lakes, ordinary is like drinking water and eating, as long as it is not about yourself, then everything will be fine, and few people will have the leisure to pay attention to it.
And the big and small secret realms can always attract a large number of doorless and powerful casual cultivators to go, how many casual cultivators were shocked and lost their lives on the spot for the first time, from this point of view, Feng Zhiping's plan is to benefit, it is to accumulate virtue, and there is nothing wrong with it.
But Feng Zhi's indifferent tone of human life still made him very uncomfortable, especially the comments of "human life" and "demon life" made him frown deeply, feeling that the young master was too indifferent, and he could even be said to be cold-blooded.
He can kill, he can torture and kill with the most cruel means, as long as he can achieve his goal, he can give people food to demon beasts to eat, he is still a little difficult to accept.
Feng Zhiping didn't feel cold-blooded at all, on the contrary, he thought that he was very humane, he was doing good deeds, and giving the ignorant cultivators a precious opportunity.
For human life and demon life, he has seen through it since he bumped into the clam demon and the lobster demon on the floating island, and no one cares if you are a human or a demon on the line of life and death, only the difference between predators and food.
If you win, you are a predator, and if you lose, you are a mouthful. Bibi eBook
At the beginning, he and Zhan Qianwu almost did the latter, but fortunately Feng Mo Xiu arrived in time, reversed his position, and brought back the lobster meat town in his family's ice cellar until now.
This is the rivers and lakes, this is the rivers and lakes.
The rivers and lakes in his heart are no longer limited to Tianyuan and human society, but include the entire sea of clouds and all living beings.
Although the plan is good, it still needs to be scrutinized, and it depends on the meaning of the champion.
Feng Zhiping wanted to do this by himself, as far as possible not to involve the Sword Marquis Mansion, in addition to the most direct intention of making money, he also had a thought, that is, the intelligence network that belonged to him that was slowly weaving.
The three easiest places in the world to get information, restaurants, teahouses, and brothels, can all be covered in this plan, and it is obviously better to be the landlord leasing the land and hiding behind the scenes as the proprietor than directly operating these three types of industries.
This was learned from You Jinglian, and he extended it a bit, wanting to play more secluded and high-end.
When he returned to the inn, Feng Zhiping had already instructed Niu Chunhan to come and inspect the land.
The price of goods in Tongxian County is extremely high, but the price of land is extremely cheap, which can be said to be given for nothing, and no one wants to take it over.
The silver in his hand is not much, and he can't buy much property in a place like Quanzhou City, but he can really buy a lot here.
Taking a step back, even if Zhuang Yuanlang does not agree with his plan, Tongxian County will be developed sooner or later, and the rise in land prices is just around the corner.
In the inn, everyone is eating, and you can tell the taste from the expressions of everyone.
Kongxuanren is okay, maybe they are used to suffering from traveling all over the world, and most of them just frown slightly, like Jing Wuxin, whose face does not change, as if they have no sense of taste.
His people were miserable, the guards were better, and the group of maids were all "I feel pity".
They who were raised in Sanssouci Pavilion followed him, a generous master, who had suffered this kind of hardship, their faces were distorted and their eyes were full of tears, and even Xiao Tao's spicy girl pulled her little face and shrunk her mouth, as if she had poured a big bowl of old vinegar in one go.
"What's wrong, it's not tasty?"
Feng Zhiping directly took Xiao Tao's chopsticks, took a yellow-green vegetable leaf and put it in his mouth, didn't chew it, turned his head and spit it out.
"Poof, poof, this is what people eat?"
Feng Zhiping spat a few times, remembering what he said to Zhuang Yuanlang, and felt that the eating and drinking competition was very meaningful, it was too challenging!
"Why do you eat this, you know it's not delicious, it's stupid, you can't order it?"
Xiao Tao had a bitter face and said timidly: "Others are too expensive." ”
"How expensive?"
Feng Zhiping glared, and the clever Xiao Er happened to come over to report the food, and after listening, he was completely speechless.
Well, it's really expensive, a table of home-cooked dishes made of sweet water, eight dishes, one hot, two meat and two cold, the price is one hundred and sixty-eight taels.
The number is very auspicious, the problem is that this money can be placed in Quanzhou for a serious banquet, the delicacies of the mountains and seas are readily available, and you can also set two tables in a cheaper restaurant, and here, there are eight dishes and one soup!
Slaughter!
There's no such way to slaughter people!
No wonder many people stayed on the ship and didn't come down, daring to know that it was expensive here, and those dead expensive things on the ship were equal to giving them for nothing compared to here!
"Young master, why don't we go back to the boat?"
Xiao Er was not surprised, and broke the cost with a smile, showing that he really didn't ask for the price indiscriminately, and finally said quietly: "You can go if you want to, the small one will help you clean up, but today's room money has been paid and cannot be refunded." ”
"We didn't live again!" Xiao Tao was furious, not so bullying.
Xiao Tao was angry, and the other maids also stood up, with the same hatred, the spicy emerald green had already been inserted into her waist, if it weren't for Bi Liu's pull and a glance in the direction of Feng Zhiping, she would have opened her mouth to scold.
Xiao Er's smile was even stronger, and his heart was actually very empty, so he didn't dare to be annoyed or defend, but only laughed and said that this is the rule here, and the whole city is the same.
Pressing Xiao Tao and signaling all the girls to calm down, Feng Zhiping turned his head and smiled: "Don't check out, but the dishes have to be changed, pour me all the things that these pigs don't eat, good wine and good food, you can stay with me later, and tell me about the local customs and anecdotes." ”
Xiao Er was stunned, and immediately overjoyed, this kind of big household has not been able to meet once in many years, and he was afraid that Feng Zhiping would regret it and run to find the shopkeeper to arrange.
Soon, the wine and food were served, and the room was full of fragrance, attracting frequent sideways glances from diners at the side table and swallowing saliva.
Xiao Tao was still uneven, and after waiting for Feng Zhiping to sit down, he whispered: "Young master, this money is too unspent, we still have a lot of dim sum cakes, or Xiao Tao will make you a pot of tea, let's just take it?"
When Niu Chunhan heard this, he also persuaded bitterly beside him: "Young master, why don't you go back to the boat and buy food and come back?"
"It doesn't matter, let us help the people here and do good deeds. Feng Zhiping said with a smile, and glanced at Niu Chunhan meaningfully, "Wait a good time with Xiao Er, put away the black face, don't scare people, people are happy, maybe they can tell us a lot of interesting things." ”
Niu Chunhan understood, nodded and said no more.
