Chapter Twenty-Six: Another Story
readx;??? Zhao Ran has been pondering what merit is recently. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The general recipe of the "Innate Merit Sutra" has long been said, "Merit is merit, virtue is good deeds, sincerity is merit, and goodness is virtue." "If you want to gain merit, you have to work hard and be recognized. What do you do? Do good deeds and do practical deeds. Whose approval is it? Recognition by the believers, approval by the Taoists.
The reason why Zhao Ran wanted to think about this problem was that his merit power had not increased in the slightest in the past three months, and his daily cultivation still relied on the merit power bonus provided by the people of Junshan. It stands to reason that he often did some good deeds during this time, such as when he saw the poor people of Xia Kingdom, he gave some money, and among the people he befriended, if anyone was in difficulty, he would also come forward to help.
Another example is the establishment of the trading platform of Jinbo Auction House. Zhao Ran knew that Cangjie made words, Shennong tasted grass, Zhurong ignited fire, and Nuwa mended the sky, these are all great merits, and this kind of merit is not the same as giving to the poor and helping the people, and it is a real great merit that benefits the people of the world, because they improve people's living conditions. Therefore, Zhao Ran tried to establish Jinbo Auction House, logically speaking, this also has the nature of improving people's living conditions, and should be part of the merit, but now, it has not brought him a trace of merit.
Zhao Ran thought about it, but he could only attribute the reason to the concept of "believers", and he guessed that perhaps as a person in the Daomen, he had to be recognized by the believers of the Daomen in order to bring him a merit bonus. He even speculated that perhaps what he had done in the past three months had been offset by the sentence "Amitabha" from the nobles and people of the Xia Kingdom.

The merit is counted on the head of the Buddha, so naturally it has nothing to do with him.
Every time he thought of this, he felt a little aggrieved, and he thought maliciously, since this is the case, let's verify it from the opposite point of view, and see if doing something bad will reduce the merit?
The establishment of the price water card was the beginning of his malice. The hype of "Shizhou Hump" is the first verification of it.
A story began to circulate in the market of Xingqing Mansion, to the effect that it was nothing more than the love between the prince of the grassland tribe and the girl of Shizhou, but it was mixed with the concept of Shizhou hump meat. At the beginning, the people of Xingqing, especially the powerful and businessmen, just listened to gossip book reviews, but later they slowly discovered that the hump meat of Shizhou on the border of Xingqing began to decrease dramatically.
Shizhou and Ganzhou are the main production areas of Xia camels, accounting for seventy percent of Xia camels, Shizhou is dominated by dromedary camels, and Ganzhou produces Bactrian camels. Shizhou dromedary camel meat tendon, Ganzhou bactrian camel meat fatty, between the two is very good, you can know it when you taste it.
With the decrease in the meat of the hump in Shizhou, the shrewd merchant immediately keenly sensed the abnormality. At the last auction of Jinbo Auction House at the end of September, the price of Shizhou hump meat increased by one and a half compared with the previous one, which was equivalent to adding fuel to the fire, and immediately businessmen went to Shizhou to buy dromedary.
But when they arrived in Shizhou, they were told that this year's dromedary production had dropped sharply, and the number of people they could buy was much lower than expected. When they returned to Xingqing in a small amount of dromedary camels that they had bought, they found that the price of Shizhou hump meat had risen by three percent, so these people immediately dispelled the idea of shipping and said goodbye to Jin Bo
The auction house is looking forward to the price of the water sign and is waiting for the price to be sold.
The price of Shizhou hump meat on the market has risen sharply, and the price of hump meat and vegetables in restaurants is also ridiculously high, and even the hump meat with Ganzhou Bactrian camel has also risen a lot. In particular, the Jinbo Club restaurant has added a new famous dish Yuzhan hump, which tastes excellent, and the price of this dish alone has reached five taels of silver, which is a beautiful talk among the upper nobles of Xingqing Mansion.
By mid-October, the auction price of a Shizhou dromedary had reached 20 taels of silver, a fivefold increase. Not only Xingqing, but also Yinzhou, Xiazhou, Huaizhou, Dingzhou and other places have also begun to prevail in Shizhou hump meat, stewed to eat, burnt to eat, pickled to eat, etc., the price is also ridiculously high.
On October 23, Li Qianshun, the current lord of Xia and the 16-year-old son of Yong'an, tasted the hump of the jade cup specially cooked in the palace by the chef of Jinbo Restaurant, and praised "the taste is fresh and mellow, and I am very happy."
Unbelievable, with such a sentence as today, the transaction price of Shizhou dromedary camels at Jinbo Auction House on October 26 immediately climbed to forty taels of silver. At this price, more than 400 Shizhou dromedary camels that were quietly purchased by Jinbo Club in the early stage began to be sold in small batches, making a net profit of 15,000 taels!
In early November, the price of dromedary camels in Shizhou reached 50 taels, and Zhao Ran notified Yeli Huaide to ship, but reminded him very seriously that the number of shipments must be strictly limited in small batches. Through Liang Xingxia's operation, Yeli Huaide sold 800 camels in five times, making a net profit of more than 30,000 taels, and earned the preparation fee for establishing a cavalry command in one fell swoop.
During the whole process, Zhao Ran didn't

He felt that there was a slight decrease in merit, which once again verified his idea that merit and devotees were closely related. With this successful verification, Zhao Ran's interest increased greatly, and he began to plan the next step, he planned to take Xia Guo to practice, move some things from later generations to be implemented, and carry out the transformation of the world in the process of implementation, and find a suitable way, and when he returned to the Ming Dynasty, he began to implement, and maybe he could create a new way to brush merit!
At an auction in mid-November, the price of Shizhou dromedary began to fall, falling to forty-six taels, Yeli Huaide was very anxious, and immediately came to Zhao Ran. So, Zhao Ran, Gao Yanei, and Liang Xingxia got together again and discussed with Yeli Huaide how to deal with it.
"Cheng Dongjia, the price of dromedary camels has fallen by nearly one percent, has our trick been seen through? Do you say that our Yeli Department simply shipped a large number of goods, even if it fell by half, it would make a profit, and make more money before it was debunked?"
Zhao Ran comforted: "It's normal to have a fall. First, the market of Xingqingfu is not large, and it is almost saturated at this high price; second, some businessmen in the early stage are getting camels at low prices, of course, much higher than ours, but even so, they have made a lot of money, which is called profit cashing; and third, they are tired of listening to stories, and there is always a time when enthusiasm declines. But don't worry, as long as you Yeli Department strictly limits the number of shipments, it won't fall anywhere. It's better to do business for a long time, and the Yeli Department can have such a high-priced product, of course, the longer it is sold, the better. ”
Yeli Huaide breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't worry, we already know about it."

All the tribes were gathered, and anyone who sold dromedaries privately was immediately beheaded, and his wife and daughter were sold into slavery. ”
Liang Xingxia also said on the side: "Little Hou Ye rest assured, we can set a reserve price, if the price falls below forty, we will take out the silver to buy it back, and the price of dromedary camels will be firmly above forty taels." ”
Zhao Ran glanced at Liang Xingxia, and said in his heart that this guy has a very smart brain, and he also knows that "price stability".
Gao Yanei suddenly said: "Have you heard of the Chengdong family, and now there is a story in Xingqing Mansion, saying that the princess of a certain tribe is terminally ill, and the poor mountain people of Kunlun Mountain have picked snow lotus, and after paying tribute, they have cured the princess's terminal illness, and they have become a concubine with this skill." ”
Zhao Ran and Liang Xingxia glanced at each other, they both laughed, and Zhao Ran said: "I heard about it, I think some fine people have seen through our method of hyping up Shizhou dromedary, and they also want to learn it." I just said that I am tired of listening to the story, and there is always a time when the enthusiasm subsides, and this is what I said, as soon as this story came out, it naturally diverted everyone's attention, and the price of dromedary camels fell for this reason. ”
Yeli Huaide frowned: "Is there such a thing? I've been focusing on forming a new army recently, but I haven't paid much attention to it. If that's the case...... Da Lang, have you inquired clearly? Who is hyping up Snow Lotus? I have to clean it up. ”
Zhao Ran said: "That's not necessary. In the short term, the hype of Snow Lotus will affect the price of dromedary camels, but after a long time, not only will it not drag down dromedary camels, but will promote the price of dromedary camels. Doing business depends on the general trend, and when the general trend is good, everyone will have to make money. "In front of Wild Wild

It's hard to say, in fact, Zhao Ran is reminding Gao Yanei that it is not a bad thing for someone to hype Snow Lotus, and it is a good thing for the shareholders of Jinbo Auction House to make the plate bigger.
But Gao Yanei didn't seem to understand, turned his head and said to Yeli Huaide: "I asked someone to inquire, this story was first passed on from Yanhui Restaurant, and there is also a comment today, 'Clear and nourishing, all veins are good'." However, when he said this sentence today, it was not taught by the Queen Mother, but he said it himself. ”
After hearing this, Yeli Huaide nodded, and sneered: "I see. He turned his head to Zhao Ran and said, "Cheng Dongjia, there is nothing to say this time, they want to fry Kunlun Snow Lotus? Kunlun Snow Lotus must not enter Jinbo Auction House!"
