Lin Xiqi was stunned for a moment and said, "Senior brother, don't worry, I know in my heart that I won't fall into the crooked path of the evil demons." In order to be able to make the Floating Cloud Sect stable, these things must be done. Only in this way can we expand our influence in the future, so that there will be no future troubles. ”

"Little junior brother, I also understand. Renjiang also reminded him, he knew that Lin Xiqi must have been aware of it in his heart, so he didn't say anything more about murderous intentions, and continued, "In the rivers and lakes, strength still speaks." It's just that, in this way, the demand for those pills may be even more. ”

For the forces under direct command, Renjiang also wants to improve their strength.

"The Desert Faction and the Sunset Gang will not disappoint us. Lin Xiqi said, "Besides, these people are also divided into several levels, and the consumption is not so much." ”

These people also have to be given suitable pills and exercises according to their meritorious performance, loyalty, and so on.

Of course, the things given cannot be compared to Tu Yuanhai and them.

"In any case, it is in control of two business routes, and it will definitely not disappoint us. Renjiang said.

On the fifth day after Lin Xiqi returned to the Sifang Inn, Du Fuchong immediately came over to report.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xiqi asked with some expectation.

Of course, Du Fuchong understood that Lin Xiqi was asking how much benefit he had gained from the Moshang Sect and the Sunset Gang.

He also came here this time to report on the matter.

"A rough estimate. Du Fuchong said and stretched out two fingers, "Equivalent to 20 million taels of silver." ”

"So much? The Chaotian Gang was only five million taels at the time. Lin Xiqi was a little surprised.

"Not much. Du Fuchong shook his head and said, "The two factions of the Moshang Sect and the Sunset Gang are completely in control of the two trade paths, and it is normal for so many years of accumulation. And the Chaotian Gang was in charge of a small part of the Lonely Mountain Dao at that time. These include two major industries, and gold and silver are about eight million taels. ”

Lin Xiqi also understood in his heart that these ready-made gold and silver could be used immediately, and as for the major industries, they had to go through the hands of the Floating Cloud Sect.

However, most of these industries will not be able to deal with it, and with these, it can be trickled into a long stream.

"You send someone to pay attention to the movement of the quicksand gate. Lin Xiqi said.

"Yes. Du Fuchong nodded.

He understood that this time the Floating Cloud Sect was in such a position, it was impossible for the Quicksand Sect to remain indifferent.

After all, most of these two sects are attached to the quicksand gate, and now they have been suddenly destroyed, and the movement is too great.

"With this money, you immediately contact Ke Jin and continue to purchase the medicinal materials you need from the Treasure Pavilion. Lin Xiqi said, "By the way, some weapons and armor also have to be purchased." ”

"It's another big expense. Du Fuchong sighed.

"When our financial path is on the right track, it is best to build our own weapons and armor, such as weapons and armor. Lin Xiqi said.

"Young master, this requires a large number of casting craftsmen, if you want to create a high-quality product, you need a casting master, such people are not easy to find, and they are generally recruited by various sects. Du Fuchong said.

"I already know this. Lin Xiqi said.

So he told Du Fuchong about the Xuantie Gang.

"The young master is kind to them, but there is a great possibility to recruit them. Du Fuchong said, frowning slightly, "It's just that once a sect like theirs settles down in one place, it seems a little difficult for them to migrate." They are now in Zhongzhou, and most of the forces over there will not let them go easily. ”

"That's all about that later. Lin Xiqi said.

Du Fuchong didn't say anything more, it was too early to say this.

"By the way, young master, there is another thing I don't know if you are interested in?" When Du Fuchong wanted to retire, he suddenly remembered something and said again.

"What's the matter?" Lin Xiqi asked.

"The magistrate of Sandao County died of illness some time ago, and now there is a shortage. Du Fuchong said.

Hearing this, Lin Xiqi's face moved slightly, and he asked, "Do you mean to let me go to this county?"

"That's right, young master, you see, Gushan Dao, Moshang Dao and Sunset Dao are all within the jurisdiction of Sandao County. Du Fuchong said, "Now the Fuyun Sect has the final say on the affairs in the rivers and lakes, but if the imperial court sends an ignorant magistrate, it will be a little troublesome." It is better to occupy the location of this county. Then these three counties are really our world. ”

Lin Xiqi nodded and said with a smile: "That's the reason, but I don't have any fame, even if I go to the exam, I probably won't be able to pass the exam, right?" ”

Lin Xiqi had never thought about taking the imperial examination before, although he had also read the Four Books and Five Classics, but if he wanted to take the exam, he was afraid that he would not even be able to pass the exam.

Although the county is only seven grades, it generally needs to be born as a jinshi.

"Young Master, why are you confused?" Du Fuchong smiled and said, "Money can make ghosts grind. Spend some money to go to the county guard mansion to check it out, and there is no problem with this county magistrate. If it really doesn't work, let the magistrate who came over can't stay here. ”

Lin Xiqi pondered for a moment and said, "Zhixian, this is a good identity. ”

"Yes, the Fuyun Sect is in charge of the affairs of the rivers and lakes, as long as he becomes the magistrate, the young master can be in charge of the local court affairs on the surface. Du Fuchong said, "This is all above board." ”

"I'm thrilled when you say that. Lin Xiqi laughed and said, "I haven't thought that I would be an official one day." How much do you think it will cost to get this county magistrate?"

"Sandao County is a border area, and ordinary people don't dare to come over, but there is still a lot of oil and water here, so it will cost a lot to take it, at least 300,000 taels. Du Fuchong thought for a while and said.

The three trade roads are under the jurisdiction of Sandao County, and most of the magistrates who were here before did not pay attention to the Moshang faction and the Sunset Gang.

Because the Moshang faction and the Sunset Gang are also very conscious, they will give the corresponding filial piety to the magistrate every year.

After all, the world is still respected by the imperial court, and the Seven Star Sect is still under the leadership of the general alliance leader, and the general alliance leader is also under the orders of the imperial court.

At least nominally, no one has dared to openly rebel against the imperial court.

"It seems that the county guard can make a lot of money over the years. Lin Xiqi said with some emotion.

"In the frontier land, the danger is a little more dangerous, but there are also corresponding benefits. Du Fuchong laughed.

"It's good to empty the property of the county guard when you want to. Lin Xiqi said in a low voice.

After Du Fuchong listened, he was stunned for a moment, and smiled slightly.

As long as you have the strength, what can't you do?

"Young master, you have to prepare a name. Du Fuchong said.

Lin Xiqi nodded, he must not be able to use the name Lin Xiqi.

"Let's call it Lin Fu, the floating of the Floating Cloud Sect. Lin Xiqi said.

Du Fuchong nodded, the name doesn't matter, you can call it anything.

"Young Master, actually, I think you can restore your original appearance. Du Fuchong said suddenly.
