In charge of the courtyard compound, the 'Flying Dragon in the Sky' hall.

When Liu Danxi, the head of the courtyard, announced that Liang Feng, who had recently advanced to the Dao stage, as the second deacon of the City Yi Hall, the six incense masters in the hall and the nearly twenty top-ranked deacons in each hall suddenly fell silent.

The second deacon of the city is the second-in-command under the incense lord of the city of Yitang, responsible for all the buying and selling matters in Wolong City and the surrounding areas, a bit like the director of the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce, Taxation and Quality Supervision in the previous life, which is a big fat shortage.

Ma Wanda, the hall master of the Torture Hall, glanced at everyone's expressions and said, "Liu Zhangyuan, of course your personal disciple Liang Zhenyuan is very good, but what about it, he has only advanced to the Dao First Product for a month, and he has never been responsible for matters such as buying and selling taxes, can you let Deacon Ma teach him for a few years, and then ......?"

Liu Danxi interrupted Ma Wanda's words and said, "No need, I believe that Deacon Liang can do this soon." Besides, in the ten years since Deacon Ma Qianshi served as the second deacon of the City Yitang, the annual tax paid to the courtyard gate did not exceed 50,000 high-grade spirit stones, heh-what a lot. Deacon Liang Zhenyuan, if you are the second deacon of Yitang in this city, the spirit stones handed over to the courtyard gate every year will not be less than 50,000 high-grade spirit stones, right?"

Liang Feng stood up and said loudly: "There will never be less than 100,000 spirit stones!" In fact, he knew that this Wolong City was so big, there were tens of thousands of large and small shops, plus there were also spirit pill monopolies such as the inferior 'Barrier Breaking Pill', and he could earn at least one million spirit stones a year.

Ma Qianshi also stood up and said loudly: "If Ma is allowed to be the second deacon of Yitang in the city again, this deacon can hand over 200,000 spirit stones a year!"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Ma Qianshi with strange eyes, which made Ma Qianshi feel inexplicable, and he said, "What's wrong?

Ma Wanda's face was gloomy, and he shouted at Ma Qianshi, who claimed to be his nephew, but was actually his illegitimate son: "Shut up! ”

Liu Danxi smiled faintly and said, "What Deacon Ma Qianshi said is right, then...... Why did he only hand over 30,000 spirit stones every year in the previous ten years? In the past ten years, there was a total difference of 1.7 million high-grade spirit stones, and it was troublesome for Deacon Ma to make up for it within a month. ”

"What, what? This year is this year, can it be the same as this year before?" Ma Qianshi said in a loud voice.

Liu Danxi didn't argue with Ma Qianshi, and said: "There is still one deacon left in the Longgang Lingshi Mine, and Ma Qianshi, you will be the second deacon of the Longgang Lingshi Mine in the future, and one will report to the office." Before reporting to work, make up for the 1.7 million high-grade spirit stones owed in front of you, otherwise, hum ...... "The spirit stone mine is basically in a remote place, and the aura environment is usually not good, plus the deacon of the spirit stone mine manages poor and abnormal miners, and there is no oil and water, so no one wants to be the archdeacon of the spirit stone mine, let alone the second deacon."

Liang Feng laughed secretly in his heart when he heard this, presumably the master had not advanced to the late stage of the Dao before, and had been aggrieved for a long time, but now she has advanced to the Seventh Rank of the Dao for two or three years, coupled with the gradual improvement of her control over the deacons of the incense lords, she finally made a sharp move to Ma Wanda, the incense master of the torture hall.

Ma Wanda stood up and said with a smile: "Liuzhang Courtyard, the second deacon of the City Yitang who used to manage the trading of Wolong City in the past handed over 50,000 spirit stones, if Liuzhang Courtyard wants to change the rules now, it is okay, but it is not appropriate to pursue the previous matter, right?...... Well, but my nephew Ma Qianshi's part of the less than 50,000 spirit stones handed over in the first ten years should indeed be made up. ”

Liu Danxi looked at Ma Wanda for a moment and said, "Lord Ma Xiang is reasonable, so let's do it." "What she wants is to suppress the Ma Wanda family, but not to defeat the Ma Wanda family, there is still an essential difference between them, so she is not ashamed of herself - she has given Ma Wanda some color to see, and the places that have nothing to do with the overall situation also give Ma Wanda some face.

Liang Feng saw through the master's intentions at a glance, and said secretly: "After the master has been in charge of the academy for a few years, he has really practiced a lot of human feelings, no wonder he can advance to the later stage of the Dao." ”

——

'Qianjiao' building is the largest and most prestigious green building in Wolong City, known as more than 100 places in the building, more than 1,000 people, and all kinds of women who look charming and beautiful, so it is called 'Qianjiao Building'.

In the largest and most chic courtyard of the 'Qianjiao' building, Yingge Yanyu. Dozens of shopkeepers stood or knelt on the futon behind the short case, whispering earnestly, and turning a blind eye to the beautiful lady beside him who was diligently holding the pot and toasting.

Jiang Zhengji took a sip of the wine in the cup and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Wang, what are you worried about? The new deacon Liang has just advanced to the Dao Entry Period, his cultivation is not as good as you and me, and he is weak, what tricks can he use to worry you, an old Jianghu?"

Shopkeeper Wang is a round middle-aged monk, and he is the shopkeeper of the largest elixir shop in Wolong City, 'Wang Ji Pharmacy'. He said with a bitter face: "Shopkeeper Jiang, how can the junior brother compare with you? Your in-laws are the eldest brother of the master of the torture hall, no matter how you change the elder brother, you will sit firmly on the Diaoyutai." ...... Alas, shopkeeper Jiang, your 'Barrier Breaking Pill Monopoly Dan Shop' is really a thriving business, not to mention that it saves a lot of spirit stones, and it is very trouble-free, the medicine shop of the younger brother...... Alas, there are many troubles throughout the day. ”

Jiang Zhengji smiled smugly and said, "Where can my little Dan shop compare to your big pharmacy shopkeeper, and it is just to earn some living." ”

A trace of contempt flashed in the eyes of the shopkeeper Wang, and he quickly hid the contempt deeply, with a flattering smile on his face, and said: "Wait for the new deacon to come, Shopkeeper Jiang has to say a lot of good things for the little brother." After glancing at Jiang Zhengji, who was noncommittal and looked profound, he leaned a little closer and said: "Shopkeeper Jiang, do you know why we changed our top boss this time, the second deacon of the city Yitang? ”

Jiang Zhengji said: "My nephew, Deacon Ma, has been cultivating a lot recently, and there are signs of breaking through the third grade of the Dao and advancing to the fourth grade of the Dao, so after listening to the opinion of the Lord of Maxiang, I have no time to manage these trivial matters of buying and selling, so I have concentrated on cultivation." ”

"Oh, I see! It seems that your in-laws Ma family have another monk in the middle stage of the Dao, which is really gratifying. Shopkeeper Wang arched his hand, got a little closer, and said: "Shopkeeper Jiang, can you get the license jade plate for the Lingdan monopoly? The price is negotiable! Well, if you can't get the permission of the 'Barrier Breaking Pill', you can also get the permission of the top-grade 'Sanfeng Yishou Pill' and the top-grade 'Zhongjing Golden Sore Pill'." ”

Jiang Zhengji nodded slightly and said, "Let's talk about it." ”

There was a noise outside the door, and dozens of shopkeepers stood up, ready to welcome the new second deacon of the City Yitang.

Jiang Zhengji glanced at everyone's expressions, and sneered in his heart: "Hmph, a new deacon who has entered the Tao and a first-class product, and still wants to compete with the Ma Xiang Lord, and also wants to compete with the Ma family, which ranks second in the twentieth family in the territory of Wolong Academy?

Ma Qianshi walked into the lobby with a golden knife and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, today this deacon will introduce you to a new deacon, Deacon Liang Zhenyuan. He stretched out his hand and let Liang Feng, who was following him, "In the future, if there are any trivial things, don't bother Uncle Ben, just go to Deacon Liang." After saying this, he walked to the main seat at the top, sat down, and laughed loudly: "It's rare to get together with all the big shopkeepers in this 'Qianjiao Building' today, and everyone can drink!"

Liang Feng had a faint smile on his face, and when he saw that there was no one sitting in the case of the nearest and last seat to the door, he calmly walked over and did not sit down, and said with a smile: "Liu Zhangyuan appointed Liang as the second deacon of the City Yitang, and I will ask you to support the work of this deacon in the future." His voice was calm and not loud, but it drowned out Ma Qianshi's loud laughter, which clearly reached everyone's ears.

His gaze swept over the faces of the shopkeepers one by one, and suddenly his complexion changed drastically - the former master, the master who sold him into the Lingshi mine as a slave miner, and the master Jiang Zhengji, who wanted to kill him, was also here, one of the shopkeepers!

When Jiang Zhengji saw that the new deacon who came in was Liang Feng, his heart was like a storm: "Liang ...... Liang Feng, the new deacon is actually Liang Feng! That disciple who is a little wooden and whimsical and thinks about eating swan meat and marrying his daughter has actually become a deacon of Wolong Academy?!

His face turned pale several times, and he said secretly: "Uncle, my in-laws are Ma Wanshan, the leader of the Changhu Gang, Ma Wanshan's younger brother, the third-ranked torture hall master of Wolong Academy, you are a little deacon of the first grade, how can you bear me?"

Seeing Liang Feng's gaze stop on his face, he raised his glass and smirked, "I must support the work of Second Deacon Liang." ”

After Liang Feng's eyes swept around, he took out the deacon's jade plate, lit it up, and said with a smile: "I heard that your big treasurer is very interested in the license of the elixir monopoly, and this deacon is thinking about how about an auction of the elixir monopoly license in a month?"

The lobby was instantly silent, and everyone's eyes were on Liang Feng, waiting for his next step.

Liang Feng sat down slowly and methodically, and said, "Regarding some auction details of the monopoly license, this deacon will announce it soon, so you can prepare for the flower spirit stone." ”

Ma Qianshi couldn't bear it, and immediately shouted: "Liang Zhenyuan, the license for the elixir monopoly has been promised to the relevant shopkeeper, how can it be auctioned again?"

Several shopkeepers chimed in: "Yes, yes, we have already paid the relevant fees and obtained the relevant permits, how can we say that it will change?" Jiang Zhengji was one of the four shopkeepers.

Liang Feng's gaze stayed on the faces of the shopkeepers one by one, and said secretly: "Uncle, I am willing to come here today just to distinguish which people are the minions of the Ma family, which are businessmen, which can be used as a help to deal with the Ma family, and which are lurking poisonous snakes." ”

He smiled slightly and said, "Oh, can there be a contract jade plate or something?" Before coming, he specifically checked the situation of the monopoly license of this elixir - this permission is all Ma Qianshi or the Ma family's decision, and there is no contract and no spirit stone is handed over to the courtyard gate.

The four shopkeepers, Jiang, Bai, Zhang, and Zhu, looked at each other and were silent.
