Volume 1 The Story of Asama Chapter 44 Intelligence Node
The gray and yellow envelope, it is easy to notice that it is empty inside, and there is a rough oblique "ten" on the fiery vermilion lacquer, which is a special mark of "black clothes", after selecting the information about the poisonous spring swamp, Jiang Feng deliberately hid the address of Yu Xiaozheng's private house in the connector signal, if the captain Lei Youqi made the decision of "willing to go on an expedition collectively", he would ask someone to send an empty letter here.
A fiery talisman ignited in his hand, and the gray and yellow envelope turned into ashes in a snap of his fingers, and in Yu Xiaozheng's surprised gaze, Jiang Feng opened another one.
This letter is from Ansi Nian, the middle-aged monk he met in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, the first half is basically a nourishing greeting, and the second half mentions a close friend of his own, who wants to use the price of fifty second-order coins to ask "Master Jiang" to help and awaken the Dharma for a disciple, regardless of whether it is successful or not, he will pay.
Very good business.
Jiang Feng is on the cusp of being short of money, but this money can't be earned. Rashly helping strangers awaken, it is easy to expose the secret that he has a "phase splitting technique", and the degree of interaction with this Ansi year is not enough, it is difficult to ensure his own safety, and he must conduct an investigation of that "immortal residence", and even occasionally cooperate, in order to confirm the character of Ansnian.
Another fire, burned the letter, and looked at Yu Xiaozheng, who was in a daze, "Your sister is not in the store?" β
"Is it used to play cool and burn letters?" Yu Xiaozheng pouted, "My sister is going to the Seven Alliances again." You pick what you buy. β
"It seems that you have a lot of business in the Seven Leagues. β
"Yes, don't take my words," Yu Xiaozheng had suffered Jiang Feng's loss, so he was naturally very cautious, "What, I care about my sister very much?"
"This is really not ......"
"Hahaha, I like to see you eat deflated, I heard that you made my sister deflated last time, interesting. Forget it, let me tell you, the Seven Alliances are in chaos now, Biyun Sect and Tianlimen are at war, and the six families of the other alliances are in a mess in order to help Biyun Sect, and our three shops there have been affected, so my sister was transferred to help put out the fire. β
"Oh, I see. "Jiang Feng doesn't know about the changes in the Seven Alliances, the intelligence system of the Qianshan Sect owes a lot of debts, and the power has long been shrunk into the sect, and the affairs of the outside world can only rely on the personnel of the Qianshan Sect stationed outside the courtyard to collect by the way, although the Qianshan Sect borders the Seven Alliances in the east, but only in the Jincheng faction, the largest demon clan, there is a separate courtyard, and the matter of the Biyun Sect and the Tianli Sect has not yet been transmitted to the sect.
"What do you think?" Jiang Feng added, also casually asking, not expecting to get any additional information.
"What can I think, take chestnuts from the fire, forget it, talk to you more, it's time to accidentally touch your way. By the way, I've got a favor, are you interested in helping?"
Do you want to trap me again? Jiang Feng was vigilant in his heart for three points in advance.
"Hey, what's your expression?" Looking at Jiang Feng's slanted and suspicious gaze, Yu Xiaozheng was anxious, "Dude, have I ever cheated you?"
Who is a buddy with you, Jiang Feng said in his heart, although I also took a lot of advantage from Lizong's affairs, but it was earned by luck and strength, but for the sake of actual benefits, it is not too much to give you the title of "Good Wealth Boy".
"Say it. β
"Hissββ, the shelf is not small. Yu Xiaozheng crossed his waist with one hand and stretched out his index finger with the other, choking with anger.
"Don't say I'm going to pick a talisman. β
"Well, you win. Yu Xiaozheng quickly deflated, pulled Jiang Feng to a no-man's corner outside the store, and said mysteriously, "I'm going to open a shop in Dayi Town, Qianshan Sect, have you heard, it's going to become a town, and the business must be easy to do, do you have any familiar and reliable people who can be the kind of second shopkeeper, introduce them to me?"
"Why is it the second shopkeeper? Not the shopkeeper?"
"The shopkeeper is naturally me," Yu Xiaozheng's voice raised three degrees, and he was afraid that the guys in the store would hear it, so he quickly lowered his voice, "I will go to the town as soon as I am free, it is my ideal to open a store, this time you have to help buddy, the family can't believe it, and if you spread it, you can't do it." β
"How's the salary?"
"It's definitely not lower than others. You can rest assured of this, I mainly want to practice first, and it doesn't matter if I make money or not. β
Jiang Feng said in his heart that he was afraid of you playing tickets, you are a rich second generation, and it doesn't matter if you open a store to make money or not, but I introduce people to come, but I want to live.
Speaking of Dayi County, Jiang Feng suddenly had an idea, so he planned to promise the other party first, "I can help you introduce two people, but it will take a few days to arrive." β
"That's that, my shop has just bought land, and it's still under construction, it is estimated that it will take half a month to open, you said that this Dayi Town, no, Dayi County, as soon as the Asagima Sect released his words, the land price has risen rubbly, it seems that many people are optimistic about this, do you want to buy some too?"
Jiang Feng said in his heart, fortunately, I let Jiang Hai make a move in advance, with the land price before the town was changed to a county, thirty second-order pieces are enough to buy six hundred acres of wasteland, and when it is fried, it will not be this price. After a few years later, Dayi's business will develop and it will be easier to increase it by five, six or even ten times.
Intelligence is very important, the matter of Dayi County is purely "politics out of one's own door", so the first time to make preparations, just like Yu Xiaozheng said "Seven League Changes", which must also contain a lot of business opportunities, Yu Xiaoman's so-called "to extinguish the fire" and Yu Xiaozheng's careless "take the chestnut from the fire", most of them are taking advantage of the chaotic situation to seek huge profits.
No business is not rich, but the information must be timely and accurate. Jiang Feng had the intention to let the maid Zheng Keyi go to Dayi County to participate in Yu Xiaozheng's shop operation, and by the way collect information near Dayi County, which is close to Lizong and Yufeng Sect, and there are many business trips to and fro, which belongs to the natural intelligence database, although because of Zheng Keyi's cultivation of the problem of contacting the interpersonal circle at the level, it cannot be timely and accurate for the time being, but it is also considered that after the seventh generation of heads had to sacrifice the intelligence system to save costs, they rearranged and built the first intelligence node.
The input and personnel are no more simple intelligence nodes, and it is impossible to have high expectations for the output, but the road is taken step by step.
Of course, it is not enough to rely on the maid Zheng Keyi, Yu Xiaozheng wants a "second shopkeeper" instead of a chick who doesn't know anything, but since Zheng Keyi is from the family of secular elders, it must not be difficult to find an elder who knows how to do business as the second shopkeeper, besides, working for Yu Xiaozheng himself is also considered a livelihood, not working in vain.
"I'm a poor man," casually talked to him a few words, and agreed on the contact information in Dayi County, Jiang Feng picked ten fiery talismans, ten quicksand talismans, ten ice talismans, ten water shield talismans, five light curtain talismans and five forbidden breaking talismans, all of which were second-order, plus a bunch of various first-order talismans, it cost a full eight second-order, and his high-level spirit talisman had already been lost in the anthill death battle, and this addition could be described as a hemorrhage.
Yu Xiaozheng, on the grounds that "the new store is about to open will cost a lot", did not give himself a discount, this guy, saving budget shrewdly to his head, but the attitude of calculating is also considered to be in the industry.
Having no intention of bothering with him, Jiang Feng came out of the "Black Donkey Zhang", found a small-scale pill pharmacy, and bought fifty Qi and Blood Nourishing Pills, ten Five True Poison Pills, two commonly used pills, and two second-order pills, so far, there are only seventeen second-order left.
Spending money is like flowing water, and in the blink of an eye, more than half of the income from the City Lord's Seal has been spent.
When I came to No. 16 Zao Hutong again, the old man with longevity eyebrows was still basking in the sun, and the autumn sun was warm on his body, so comfortable.
"Park Tiexin is not here. β
"Uncle, you have a good memory. "I didn't expect this uncle to remember himself, it seems that pretending to be deaf and dumb last time was deliberate, such a humble address, and an old man's secret whistle.
"Haha. The uncle squinted and lay down leisurely.
Jiang Feng didn't have anything to do here, it was a friendly visit, and Park Tiexin was one of the people he knew who could be friends, and it was also a friendship to come to Zhenwu City to talk about the old and bother him. Since the person was not there, he left a few special pastries of the Asayama Sect that had been prepared for a long time, and left a letter to inform him that he would go to the Poison Spring Swamp recently, and he returned to the inn with the words "Come back and visit".
The three of them embarked on the way home, deliberately took a long detour, took Dayi County, and instructed the maid Zheng Keyi along the way, briefly explained some things about Yu Xiaozheng's shop, emphasized the precautions related to confidentiality, and asked her to pay attention to collecting information about the exchanges, and gave a second-order activity fund, a dozen first-order spirit runes for self-defense, and a first-order magic weapon with very low requirements for cultivation, leaving her in Dayi County, which can be regarded as the first sub on Jiang Feng's "intelligence network", but this sub itself still needs to be investigated.
Whether she can be loyal and endure loneliness, whether she can be careful enough to collect information, and even the development of business skills are all Jiang Feng's investigations, if the maid Zheng Keyi can really do a good job, Jiang Feng will not hesitate to perform the "phase separation technique" many times, leading her on the road of cultivation. This condition cannot be put forward first, because the temptation is too great, and you will suffer from it.
With the maid Ding Lingyun all the way down the Baishui River, passing through the newly established Warm Valley County, there were ordinary people who were migrating in a hurry everywhere, and with the forty second-order supports scattered by Jiang Feng, the construction of Warm Valley County was carried out impressively. I often see the figure of monks flying by, although there are only more than a hundred monks in the Ashala Sect, but with the temptation of spirit stones, running around to earn money will definitely become the norm of their lives in the past three months.
Zhanchuan Town is located in the northwest of the Poison Spring Swamp, which belongs to the southernmost market town of the Qianshan Sect, and there are only more than 100 ordinary villagers, scattered on a slightly higher dry hillside. Because of the proximity to the poisonous spring swamp, a lot of wasteland can not be cultivated, can only raise a kind of "Kuihorn cow" herbivorous monster beast, this kind of monster beast is not picky food, even if it eats the general poisonous weeds by mistake, it is not a big problem, but the breeding ability is quite poor, it can be regarded as a "toss-resistant" native breed. Every September, there will be a business trip to Zhanchuan Town to buy medicinal herbs, which is also the most lively season of the year in the town. At this time, it was past the purchasing season, and when Jiang Feng came, he only saw a scene of withering and desolation.
Jiang Feng had already prepared a letter of introduction issued by the Department of Etiquette, and found the "town mayor" Old Man Qi and asked him to introduce the situation of the Poison Spring Swamp, and the place where Jiang Feng went on this trip was in the depths of the Poison Spring Swamp, in the territory of the Black Water Gate.
Old man Qi is one hundred and twenty years old this year, among the mortal demon clans, he can be regarded as a long-lived one, but he is also too old, and his speech is not very clear, after introducing it for a morning, Jiang Feng roughly understood the situation of the poisonous spring swamp, and left him a few first-order spirit stones, which can be regarded as a reward.
The maid Ding Lingyun settled down, gave the spirit stones, spirit runes and magic weapons of the same specifications as Zheng Keyi, and let her investigate the climate, people and products here in Zhanchuan Town, with the endorsement of the intelligence of the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce, these investigations are easy to find the right direction, although the natural environment of Zhanchuan Town is harsh, but it is on the main road to the great country of the human race Wei and the vassal sect Heishui Gate, as long as the road into the swamp is opened and the Wei State can trade, Zhanchuan Town has a lot to do.
However, although the idea is good, Wei Guoke has no such plan for the time being. The depths of the swamp are not completely devoid of roads, especially in the autumn and winter seasons, when the rain is scarce, many paths can lead to the Black Water Gate and even lead directly to the Wei State, but the northeastern part of the Wei State is the main production area of cultivation resources, and in order to protect these areas, the traffic is deliberately cut off. The reason why he carved out a large swamp that originally belonged to him and set up a demon puppet small sect Black Water Gate was mostly for isolation.
Speaking of the Black Water Gate, there are still many stories, the most famous of which is the legend of the half-demon fire yaksha.
