For a month, Qin Lin was studying his Dao Sword, the Dao of Heaven and Earth, which contained supreme power and thousands of changes, and he found his own pleasure in it, but he temporarily forgot about the disturbances in Jiangnan.

The dean is still sitting on the bridge and fishing, leisurely.

"Your Dao Sword is much more mature than it was at the beginning!" When the dean occasionally glanced over here, he would praise a word or two, and Qin Lin rarely heard the dean's praise.

When he first came into contact with the Divine Sword Flash, Qin Lin would only simply use the sword as the sword and the Dao sword as the carrier to perform the sword style he had learned. However, such an idea has always been too narrow, and it is not based on the stage of heaven and earth, and the kaleidoscopic changes of the Dao Sword in the hands of the dean inspired Qin Lin, and opened a new door for him.

"Dean, please advise!" Qin Lin was on a whim, his head was big after a few days of studying, it was better to actually use it by himself to drill in the tip of the horns, practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, "Look at the Dao Sword!"

The Sword of the Ice Dao arced gracefully through the air before disappearing into nothingness.

"Huh?" the dean became interested, which was a bit interesting, with his cultivation, he would not be amazed by such an attack, but this idea was indeed novel, "Use the qi to control the form, use the god to control the spirit, and turn the heaven and earth for your own use." ”

This is not an ordinary sword style, Qin Lin's sword does not really disappear into nothingness, but merges into the surrounding heaven and earth and is imperceptible. Ice and snow originate from heaven and earth, and are themselves a part of heaven and earth, but when they encounter temperature changes, they change their shape, which can be soft water or invisible water vapor.

"Excalibur~~~Ice Cube~~~~"

With the sharp output of Qin Lin's aura, the surrounding air instantly became cold, and the dean's body also began to freeze, freezing his clothes.

"So that's the case~~~" After thinking about it, the dean suddenly opened his mouth, this trick is really invisible, and it can become a killer weapon if used well, "Practice more." ”

Then he was shocked, and the ice and snow on his body suddenly dissipated, leaving Qin Lin speechless for a while, he wanted to ask the dean for advice, but he decisively stopped the continuation of Bingling with his own strong strength, don't you play like this, rely on your profound cultivation to bully people?

However, when he thought that his cultivation over the past few days had achieved some results, Qin Lin was still happy in his heart.

There are no years of cultivation, and another month has passed, and Jiangnan is already in full swing because of the news of the two major forces. The Caiyun family sent their descendants to quickly occupy the major cities in the south of the Yangtze River, and they had the momentum of unifying the south of the Yangtze River, and the Su family acted as the guide of the Caiyun family, and made outstanding contributions to the occupation of the major cities by the Caiyun family.

And at this time, someone looked at Xiliang Academy, this creeping giant beast, what is his thoughts at this moment?

Xiliang College, which was the original guide of Jiangnan, shouldn't be so calm. Xiliang Academy is inevitably brewing a big move, and will have a peerless battle with the Caiyun family and the Su family, and establish its leading position in Jiangnan in one fell swoop.

However, before the news of Xiliang Academy's comprehensive counterattack came out, a painless news had already spread all over the land of Jiangnan, compared to such a major event as the marriage of the Caiyun family and the Su family, this news was really not of the highest grade and could not be compared with it, but in the eyes of those who cared, this was the signal of war.

"No, take a look!" The dean held the news he had just received in his hand and handed it directly to Qin Lin, "Give me an opinion." ”

The content of the note was very short, only a simple line: Huang Jinlou and the Liu family have fully united, and have established a variety of business contacts in Jiangnan, covering a wide range of areas, mainly including restaurants and auction houses, and also participating in the development and sale of mineral deposits.

Qin Lin had no way of knowing who was standing behind the Golden Building, but it was foreseeable that the Golden Building's move was not simple. It is involved in most of the profiteering industries in clothing, food, housing and transportation, and it has all aspects of mineral deposits, gold, silver, copper, rare ores, etc., which is equivalent to doing the resources of Jiangnan at one time.

"The Golden Building's move seems to be very common, but judging from some previous examples, it is a wool picking. Qin Lin knew the past cases of the Golden Building, and told the story, "Most of the industries involved in the Golden Building are linked to ordinary people, and these industries are relatively normal industries, but it is rare to have such a large one-time investment." ”

"I think it must be for the sake of forming a scale, and the energy that can be condensed once anything is formed into a scale cannot be underestimated. ”

He has seen the Golden Building, with its advantage in controlling the economic lifeline, forcing the officials to make concessions again and again, which is equivalent to signing an unequal treaty.

"And the purpose of their current scale is to gather wool, the wool of the ordinary people in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

As an industry established in Jiangnan, it is necessary to hand over part of the profits to Jiangnan, and such work is usually handled by the officials of Qingshan County, and the proceeds are used to develop Jiangnan and implement various policies.

But now there is no such relationship, and the part of the profits from the Golden Building that does not need to be handed over is the loss of the Jiangnan area, which is the wool of the people in the Jiangnan area.

The so-called Heavenly Court's so-called taking from the people and giving it to the people is such a truth.

"That's good!" the dean's response indicated that Qin Lin's thoughts were in the right direction, and motioned for him to continue, "What else?"

"This is a method of coercing the government with business, and the Golden Building is very skilled!" Qin Lin continued, this kind of case is too common, "If it is not stopped, it will only take three or five years to break the stable prices in the Jiangnan area for many years, which is actually a means to fundamentally disintegrate your efforts in Jiangnan for many years." ”

The dean's wish is nothing more than a pure land where the people live and work in peace and contentment. But if people's consumption goes up, but the income can't keep up with the speed of consumption, then the sense of happiness will also decrease, and the premise of living and working in peace and contentment is to be able to afford to buy what they want to buy, to use what they want to use, to eat what they want to eat, and to wear what they want to wear.

Food, clothing, housing, and transportation are the foundation of the people, and they are also the industries that cultivators look down on the most.

"The current Xiliang Academy, or you are actually the Heavenly Court in Jiangnan, the other party uses this method to force you to make a move. ”

"But once you make a move, then you will end up with a bad reputation, and ordinary people will not see the essence behind these things, they will only look at who provoked the war, and they will follow the guidance of public opinion. ”

"And when public opinion is on the opposite side, it is the time when the Caiyun family will make a move, I think at that time they will use thunderous means to suppress you and completely crush Xiliang Academy. ”

At the thought of the manpower needed to suppress a saint, Qin Lin felt a little difficult to breathe, what kind of scene was this? He had never thought that he was so close to the center of the vortex.

"It's okay!" the dean agreed with Qin Lin's analysis, "That's half right!"

Qin Lin looked back and thought about it, not knowing what he had missed.

"The people are the foundation of Jiangnan, with their support, Jiangnan is Jiangnan, and their living and working in peace and contentment is also the embodiment of Jiangnan's happiness. ”

"As you said, most people can't see the competition behind the scenes, they see what others want them to see, so they are easily deceived. ”

"However, is Jiangnan just the people?" the dean shook the fishing rod in his hand, and the fish under the water were frightened and ran far away, before he continued, "The talent yield rate of Jiangnan ranks first among all the counties in the Divine Domain. ”

"Whether it's business, the world, or in the world of cultivators, Jiangnan will not lag behind any county. ”

"Therefore, the main force in Jiangnan is still cultivators, cultivators who have no belonging. ”

All the cultivators of the various counties of the Divine Domain must be cultivating under the leadership of their respective forces, and these forces are under the jurisdiction of the Divine Domain, in other words, they are all cultivating under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court and have a belonging. Only the cultivators in Jiangnan in the Divine Domain have no belonging, Xiliang Academy will not stand on its own mountain to be the king, let every force submit to itself, and the style of Xiliang Academy has always been peaceful development.

"The industries involved in the Golden Building are all related to the people, but what about the industries involved with cultivators?"

"Such as alchemy, refining weapons, spirit stone veins, rare materials, medicinal materials?"

"These industries are all monopolistic industries, and the high profits in them are scary, and others will not forget such a big piece of cake. ”

Yes, Qin Lin suddenly became a big thing, these industries are the lifeblood of cultivators, cultivators need to use spirit stones to cultivate in the later stage, alchemy, refining tools, rare materials, medicinal materials, etc. are all industries closely related to cultivators, how can no one set foot on it?

In the past, in the south of the Yangtze River, whoever found the resources was whoever found them, such as the Su family's mineral veins, which created the pillar industry of the first family of the Su family, which shows what the profits are.

So, who exactly gets involved in these industries?

The Su family, the Caiyun family, or ········

"Anyway, these are just small fights now, and the real power is still to come, don't worry!!"

The dean is calm and relaxed, and has no sense of crisis at all, you must know that if you don't stop it, when the golden building really forms a scale, it will be controlled by the power of prices, and that is the beginning of the nightmare of the people in Jiangnan.

And aren't these all destroying the foundation of the dean's casting of Jiangnan peace?

"Now is not the time to strike, just wait and see. ”

Saying this sentence represents the end of today's conversation, but when is the time and what to wait for Qin Lin didn't know at all, so he could only return to his exclusive position depressedly and continue to study the use of the Dao Sword, which had become a necessary topic for him every day now.
