Chapter 189: Not an Outsider
Chapter 189 is not an outsider
"So we have to go quietly, go back quietly, and leave no clouds", the cloud thief replied with a smile: "I don't have any power in the cultivation realm, and I also don't have any power in the mortal realm, this matter is really going to make a big fuss, and I can't keep this interest." So I don't think of the teleportation array as my own, I let the teleportation array maintainers run it independently.
You think it's weird, don't you? I founded it, but I don't own it, I don't have an exclusive one, and in the same way, I have the same attitude towards Moyun City, why would I do this, if you think about it, you know if you should come back. ”
Liu Ziqing, a big corrupt official, actually has a particularly keen mind, and it only took him a while to figure it out: "Okay, although the idea of a real person is incredible, it is really ...... Brilliant.
The teleportation array allows the local snake there to operate independently, and the real person does not continue to invest in it, which is equivalent to throwing off the burden for himself. As for how to keep the teleportation array secret and how to maintain the relationship with the locals, that's the operator's business. Even if there is a robbery of the teleportation array, in the end, the possessor of the teleportation array will still have to maintain this thing that brings him a steady stream of wealth. The real person avoided the contradictions, saved expenses, but enjoyed the results.
As for saying that this teleportation array was established by a real person, but the real person didn't own it, it seemed that he had a loss, but a complete trade route, naturally including the beginning and the end, if we want to communicate with the outside world, others will not help us, we can only rely on ourselves - to build ourselves, to establish the end point by ourselves. So the real person gave up the ownership of the end point. However......"
"Revitalized the capital - you can even think that I brought in foreign capital to participate in the joint creation of this trade route, and let them consciously and voluntarily protect the benefits generated by this trade route. ”
"Yes, yes. The real people are actually weak in their desire to control the city of the Upper Valley - to really control this trade route, we need to send people to defend it, and we must constantly curry favor with the local authorities. The biggest disadvantage is that the person who maintains the teleportation array may have selfish intentions, he steals profits, increases maintenance costs, and makes us want to stop. Instead, ditch control of the focus. Defenders who take advantage of it will instead swear to defend their own interests. ”
“...... And bring me a steady stream of returns", added the clouds idly.
After thinking about the matter at the other end of Shanggu City clearly, Liu Ziqing couldn't help but bow back to himself - Moyun City was also established by Yunduo. However, instead of announcing the exclusive enjoyment of Moyun City, he asked the residents of Moyun City to manage themselves, as well as the industrial plan of the people of Moyun City and the immortals, and at the same time let the accompanying immortals also share the benefits of Moyun City.
No. No—the clouds didn't give way out of Moyun City. Just as he did not relinquish control of the trade route.
The end of this teleportation array was indeed given by the clouds - he confiscated a penny from others, but the clouds always controlled the starting point of this trade route, as well as the transfer point along the way.
Yun Duo did give up some of his benefits to the accompanying immortals and the people of Moyunling, but he refused to allow people outside his team to covet any benefits from Moyunling—such as the Warlords in the team.
Yun Duo talked about Upper Valley City, and talked about the possibility of a scramble at the end of the teleportation array...... Liu Ziqing understood: Yunduo always controls the "sharing rules", and he is the one who makes the rules. He allows everyone to get benefits, who wants to eat more and take more. It is bound to be resisted by everyone. And outsiders who want to invade this community of interests are counterattacked by the whole team after all.
I'm the owner of Moyun City, and though not all of it, I own some of it!
In an instant, Liu Ziqing's eyes were very bright, and he shouted in his heart: This is my city, this is my ...... Family.
Of course, the people who resettled in Moyun City actually belong to Yun Duo personally, strictly speaking, this is actually a city of clouds, Xuantianmen will admit this, and Taiyue Gate will also recognize it.
But Yun Duo gave up a part of his interests, in exchange for everyone to jointly maintain the distribution of benefits he had formulated, the rules! In this way, all the people who moved here, as well as the immortals, would have the same feeling: I am not an outsider in Moyun City, and the richness here is closely related to me.
"I understand", Liu Ziqing arched his hand: "Real person, I understand what I should do, I understand what I should do when I go to South Korea." ”
There was no commitment, but Yun Duo nodded in approval: "You go to South Korea, you can't go alone, bring a few people with you, and help me bring a few people when you come back...... Oh, bring a few orphans back, you have to be about five years old, you can eat independently, there is no limit to how many people. ”
Liu Ziqing turned around and ran back to the city, and when he returned, he brought more than a dozen young people with him—basically the young sect masters of several big families in the city. Only these big families can look at problems from a more far-reaching perspective because of their experience and vision.
There was a flash of brilliance on the teleportation array, and a team of more than ten people led by Liu Ziqing disappeared from the teleportation array. At this time, Biting, who had already stabilized his cultivation, quietly walked to Yun Duo's side, he held the railing of the corridor on the sixth floor with his hand, looked at the empty teleportation array, and asked softly: "Senior brother, where is Korea...... Well, there's nothing unusual going on in this guy, right?"
Biting and Yun Duo went to Upper Valley City together, he and Yun Duo stayed in Upper Valley City for a long time, when Yun Duo set up a teleportation array in the Yun family compound in Upper Valley City, Biting was still a little inexplicable, even if he thought about it now, he still felt that this matter was a bit unreliable.
It was very expensive to build a teleportation array, and Biting didn't know how much money Yun Duo had, but he knew that many small and medium-sized sects couldn't get together the materials to build a teleportation array. And Yun Duo casually built a teleportation array in his backyard, casually grabbed a visitor, asked him to manage the teleportation array, patted his ass and left...... That sounds like something out of the ordinary.
Yun Duo also held his arms on the railing, looked at the empty square below, and replied casually: "Don't worry, no matter who masters this trade route, he will not give up easily." Because this is a steady stream of wealth, a business that sits there and collects money, who is willing to give up such benefits, who is willing to give up such temptations?
So, don't worry about Liuhua, when I set up such a teleportation array, I planned that the host of each teleportation array would be an independent operator. This is the case with the green rafts in Fenglingdu, and the same is true for the guys in Shanggu City. I don't care who runs this thing, as long as he can maintain the teleportation line. The benefits I got were big enough. ”
There is a fee for taking the teleportation array, and here in the clouds, except for Liu Ziqing, who is free to ride the teleportation array, the rest of the people take the teleportation array, and they have to pay a lower grade spirit stone. As for South Korea, the fee may be a little higher, but it is customary. All teleportation arrays are charged in one direction, and there is no need to pay when you arrive, and you will pay according to the distance you travel.
The clouds don't care about the money. What he cares about is that Moyun City can't become an island, as long as Moyun City can maintain external communication, even if he is asked to pay for it to maintain this communication, he is willing. Not to mention that business profits are ten times higher than those of the primary industry. As long as there is a commercial profit. He can recoup his taxes alone. Therefore, the teleportation array fee standard he set was very low.
But this kind of thing of sitting there and collecting money is not necessarily looked down upon by others. No matter who the teleportation array in Shanggu City falls into, they always want to maximize the benefits of the teleportation array, as long as they can maintain this trade route, Yunduo will be able to continuously obtain supplies from the outside world, as well as various cultivation resources.
This was already in the best interest for him—even greater than the benefit he had gained from staying in Iris Valley.
Suddenly, the clouds felt a look of disgust. His divine sense easily pierced the walls of the Blue Castle. When he saw the Warlord's Triangle Fort on the hillside, his divine sense saw: in the empty Triangle Fort. Ji Wuyuan was standing bored at the head of the wall, jumping to look at the location of the clouds in hatred.
However, Ji Wuyuan couldn't see the clouds - the triangular forts outside the city were all relatively low, only nine floors, but the blue castle was twelve stories high. In addition, after the monks lived in the Blue Castle, each monk set up a silent shield outside their room to prevent others from prying eyes.
Yunduo's divine sense can penetrate the fortress wall, firstly because his divine sense is extremely powerful, but because the defensive array here is set up by Yunduo, so Yunduo saw Ji Wuyuan and felt his full malice, but Ji Wuyuan couldn't detect Yunduo's existence.
Yun Duo turned his head and asked Biting, "The three triangular forts outside the city have not been named yet?"
In fact, this should not be asked by Biting, Biting exists as a professional thug in the team, he doesn't care about anything, he just beats people.
Biting looked at Yun Duo reproachfully, Yun Duo smiled, pointed to Ji Wuyuan's location and said, "Send someone to add some protective facilities to that castle, well, the three triangular forts outside the city are all handled like this: increase isolation measures, so as not to let outsiders feel our movements." ”
Biting smiled lightly: "This guy is pitiful enough...... By the way, Fu Xiaomin and Li Xing have contacted me recently, and they have told me about their situation, and they feel that this guy is about the saddest supervisor on the front line, alone, and the whole team is not waiting to see him......
Oh, it's not like to completely isolate his ears and eyes, I asked people to set up a three-layer defensive magic circle, the magic circle is divided into three layers of power, the first layer is opened, which will greatly weaken his perception of the outside world, the second layer is opened, so that the castle can only enter and not exit, the third layer is opened, the entire triangle fortress is completely closed, and we can only open it, what do you think?"
"That guy is more desperate, tell him that these defensive circles are to better protect him, he must like ......"
"Okay, I'll send someone ......"
"By the way, tell this Warseer that there are two Warseers appointed above, one is him and the other is Chansen, I only recognize these two as Warseers, so if he finds some followers and fake Huwei, haha, it's just a servant, even if it is a servant of the Warover, it is still a servant and not a Waroverseer. If these followers want to talk to me in the tone of an overseer, don't blame me for making an example!"
"You speak so directly, do our ancestors know?"
As he was talking, Yun Duo felt Ji Wuyuan take out something from his arms, he raised this thing to his eyes and looked at it, and after a while, Ji Wuyuan put away the thing, walked down the wall, and after falling to the ground, he walked along the gate of the Triangle Castle towards the entrance and exit of the Blue Castle.
The entrance and exit gates of the bastion are all open on the side, and if you walk on foot, you need to go around to ensure that you stay in the shooting range for the longest time.
It was troublesome to enter the castle by the regular path, but Ji Wuyuan did so, he walked around the path into the Blue Castle, and then stepped on the stairs, walked to the floor where the clouds were with his feet step by step, and respectfully reported to the puppet soldiers guarding the corridor: "Please report, Ji Wuyuan, the overseer of the seventh team, asks to see the captain." ”
"It's a long-distance sound transmission jade Jane", Yun Duo felt before Ji Wuyuan went down the city wall. Entered his room in advance. Biting didn't say goodbye, she followed up with a glass of nectar water and chatted with the clouds. At this time. Yun Duo understood what Ji Wuyuan had just escaped from his arms - it was a long-distance sound transmission jade slip that was exclusive to the Overseer, which could allow the Overseer to be on the front line to receive instructions from Taiyuemen.
"We also need to know the news that the Overseer has obtained, Senior Brother Ting, you just said that you have contacted Fu Xiaomin's first team, Li Xing's fifth team, how did you get in touch, is it possible to buy off their Warlord?" He even prevented Su Zhi from opening the door in the past, just continuing to communicate with Biting.
At this time, the more than 1,000 monks brought by the clouds were busy. Only a few soldiers belonging to the clan were still in their rooms in the entire castle - Wei Nishang and Chilu had already gone to Peach Blossom Valley, and Chang Lei, Ding Ling, and Zhou Rongwen Si had all gone to the mine to be busy. Si Ju and Wang Wei, as well as the ten qi practitioners they led, also went out. As a result, the huge castle appeared empty. Ji Wuyuan's voice echoed in the corridor. It reverberates in the opera house, and the aftermath is faint.
"He's offended him so much," Biting shook her head, "Obviously we have a war overseer right under our noses, and you want to do something that is close and far." ”
"The reason for seeking the near and far is because this guy has interests with us, and even competing interests, while the overseers of other clans do not necessarily have enmity with us. You're going to try it?"
"Okay - I'm familiar with Aoshan, the Jindan monk of the first team, and Bishi, the tsukiji monk of the fifth team...... That's right. Speaking of Bi She, I heard that you worked with him in the secret realm, and he was punished by the sect for interrupting your foundation building and sent to the fifth team as a warrior. Before leaving from Fenglingdu, he found me, stuffed me with a copy of the sound transmission jade slip, and asked me to apologize to you, saying that he was also forced, and I hope you will understand. ”
"Arrogance, there is a price to pay", Yun Duo nodded Su Zhi with his chin, signaling the latter to lead Ji Wuyuan in, and then said to Biting: "His arrogance made him pay the price at the beginning, and it is my tolerance that I don't pursue it now, okay, you contact him, reveal my meaning to him, and ask him, what price does the other party need?"
Because Ji Wuyuan had already come in, Yun Duo said very vaguely, and Biting nodded: "I understand, I'll ask." ”
As soon as Ji Wuyuan entered the door, a pot of tangy aroma came, and Yun Duo subconsciously covered his nose. But I heard the other party ask very flamboyantly: "You two, who is in charge?"
Biting took a sip of spiritual nectar water, and looked at the clouds: "Do you still need to ask?" I just got out of the customs, and it will take time to stabilize my cultivation, here, of course, it is the Shaogu Lord who is in charge." ”
"That's good, Qingzhu Zhenren, I just received news that the first team was ambushed and sent a distress signal to the surroundings, and the second team that rescued in the past was attacked by the sixth-order fire phoenix and suffered heavy casualties...... Qingzhu Zhenren, other teams have news of playing, when are you going to play?"
Yun Duo and Biting glanced at each other, and Yun Duo smiled slightly: "Oh, go to war, I have actually sent people to patrol, don't you see, the people in the castle are not there." ”
Ji Wuyuan was almost mad by Yun Duo's attitude of talking nonsense with his eyes open, he pointed at Yun Duo, his fingers trembled: "In the White Jade Castle...... Towns No. 123, and, ...... in the city".
What Ji Wuyuan wanted to say was: Don't I know that your manpower is all building the White Jade Castle, cultivating medicinal fields in the three small towns, and helping the common people build houses in the city?
Biting held the nectar water in her hand and interjected leisurely: "Warlord, do you remember the Fenglingdu Conference? The rules of war have changed, and it is also one of the tasks of the team to settle the people and open up the wasteland. What we're doing now is what we're asking for.
Besides, Si Ju and Wang Wei in the team had each led their five Qi Refining Stage cultivators out to explore the way, they had been out for six days, and according to the situation they came from yesterday, there was nothing abnormal within three hundred miles. ”
Ji Wuyuan blurted out: "But you brought thousands of people, and you sent twelve people out?"
Yun Duo chuckled: "Warlord, war is not a group fight, not the more people the better. Besides, it's true that I lead a thousand people, but a team only has sixty people, and except for sixty people, the rest of the people are all logistics personnel who came to help me, they are not soldiers, so there is no need to fight. ”
Ji Wuyuan endured it, took a breath, tried to control his voice, and continued: "According to the news I received, the first team encountered a pack of wild wolves in the depths of the forest, and they are currently trapped by more than three hundred third- and fourth-order wild wolves. Already around the clan called for help. ”
Yun Duo looked at Biting, who shook her head: "I didn't receive a call for help, let's talk about it." Fourth-order demon beasts, only equivalent to the middle stage of Jindan, as far as I know, the first team of Jindan monks ......"
Biting immediately continued: "It's Qingshan, the Jindan genius of the previous generation, the Jinmu Fire Three Spirit Roots, and now it is the middle stage of Jindan." ”
"Yes. There are green cedars, and they can support it. Ah, don't we still have a Yuan Infant in charge? The war has just begun. The first firepower test, Senior Brother Ji, what are you panicking about?"
The reason why Yun Duo is firmly seated in Tarzan is because Biting says that he has a connection with Team One. Since Team First didn't ask him for help...... Who knows if Ji Wuyuan is digging a pit for him. Listen to it. The second team went out to the rescue and was already pitted. It can be seen that the words of the warlord cannot be believed.
"You see, our manpower has been scattered, even if we plan to rescue the first team, we must wait until the manpower scattered out returns safely", Biting is a soft person, and immediately helped Yunduo to play the round.
In fact, the team led by Si Ju and Wang Lei. I didn't go out to survey the formation...... Strictly speaking, of course. They were indeed surveying the terrain, but they were surveying the terrain near the Spirit Stone Mine.
This spirit stone mine is actually a derivative of the spirit vein of Lingyuan, but Yunduo does not dare to mine near Lingyuan - this is too conspicuous and too public. So, Yun Duo sent his team out to find a hidden mine suitable for large-scale excavation. It's best if it's not far from the Blue Keep, and even better if it's a cave, where you can disguise yourself as a monster cave and start mining ore from there.
The spirit stone is a very hard ore, and mortals can't dig the soil near the spirit stone mine, and this work has to be done by the monks themselves. Of course, the clouds can also use blasting methods to blast the dirt near the spirit stone mine, and then sift the spirit stones from the dirt. But in this way, the sound of the explosion will spread far away, which will cause unnecessary trouble, and in addition, the blasting method will also shatter the spirit stone, causing cracks to appear inside the spirit stone, so that the spirit stone will not be easy to cut again.
In the team of clouds, local tyrants abound. But Si Ju and Wang Lei belong to the poor dicks in the team, Si Ju used to work in the pill workshop, not long ago he took out all his savings to build the foundation, and after the foundation was completed, Si Ju's pocket was empty. And Wang Wei was originally a person who was not welcomed by the sect, and was recruited by Qingshu during the big competition of the sect and introduced as foreign aid from Iris Valley - at that time, Qingshu introduced five to build the foundation and four to refine qi. Now these four qi practitioners have walked around with the clouds, and they have all built a foundation. Among the foundation building monks at the beginning, only Wang Wei succeeded in marrying the Dan, and the other four foundation building fell in the Spiral Heaven Secret Realm.
Wang Wei was originally a substitute member of the team, and the nominal leader of the team was Qinglin. Because Qinglin stayed in Fenglingdu, Wang Wei successfully ascended to the throne and became the only Jindan monk recognized by the team - not a commander, just a subordinate of Yunduo.
Yun Duo sent these two people over to survey the terrain of the Spirit Vein Spirit Stone Mine, not without subsidizing them by the way. These two are the poorest in the team, let them find a mining site, and then these two people will carry out the first wave of mining, and when the mining is done, they will naturally know - how to shut up.
At present, Chang Lei is taking five qi practitioners under his name to be responsible for the construction of the Huang Baiyu and Lapis Lazuli mines, Zhou Rong and Wen Si are responsible for setting up protective magic arrays in these two mines, and by the way, the mail and teleportation arrays forged by the clouds are installed inside the mines, and Ding Ling is responsible for arranging the excavation of the metal mines - by the way, the clouds are placed...... The lathe made of a self-propelled rail car.
The group of female cultivators brought by Wei Nishang and the Red Furnace are still in Peach Blossom Valley, and they don't know what they are doing. It is estimated that he is busy transplanting the spirit grass seedlings he carries with him in the Peach Blossom Valley......
Everyone is very busy, of course, there is still Su Zhi in the team who did not go out, and Biting also followed Yun Duo, but these two people have a good reason, the former is Yun Duo's maid who stays in the castle, and the task assigned to him by the sect is to follow Yun Duo step by step, and the latter is the number one attacker in the team, and the current form is far from the time to dispatch the strongest attack.
Standing on the castle wall and looking up, busy monks abound: monks with earth-based spells are busy clearing farmland, monks with wood-based spells are busy moving vegetation, monks with gold-based spells are busy sensing nearby metal mines and setting up corresponding defensive circles at the head of Moyun City, and monks with fire-based spells are busy distributing military stoves and helping mortals learn to use this "immortal treasure".
There are also monks with water spells, who are also not idle, building canals in various settlements to divert water for irrigation and sewerage in cities......
Everyone is busy.
Even if the monk is an immortal, he will feel very tired now. After they arrived at Moyunling, they didn't even have time to take a breath, so they threw themselves into continuous work. Yun Duo can proudly say that none of the more than 1,000 monks he led were idle, and many of them had to wear multiple hats, such as monks with earth spirit roots, and after cultivating farmland, they had to go to the city to help build houses.
Of course, all the monks were painful and happy—because their work was not free, for example, the amount of farmland they cultivated, the amount of which each monk cultivated had to be recorded, and then Liu Ziqing would pay them with loans or taxes.
The same is true for building houses and building water and sewers, and the amount of labor of the monks is recorded in the accounts one by one, and then Liu Ziqing gradually returns them to the monks. Wait until the apparent accounts are paid off. According to the amount of labor of the monks, Yunduo will also help the monks calculate a "debt-to-equity" ratio - the amount of labor of the monks will be converted into the corresponding shares of Moyun City. In the future, forty percent of the taxes paid by Moyun City will go to the local government to maintain the operation of the government, and sixty percent of them will be handed over to the clouds, which will be distributed by the clouds.
Of the sixty percent of the shares handed over, Yun Duo holds two percent of the shares, and one percent of the remaining shares belong to the other warriors of the clan, because Moyun City belongs to the entire clan and is protected by the clan, so the members of the clan deserve to enjoy the one percent of the shares. The remaining more than 1,000 logistics personnel share 20% of the shares according to their own labor volume.
In the end, the remaining 10% of the shares, Yunduo suggested that it be stored as an emergency fund, or as a strategic reserve for the entire city.
Of course, Ji Wuyuan didn't know about this share sharing plan, and Yun Duo didn't include Ji Wuyuan in the category of "his own people" from beginning to end. Ji Wuyuan, who was not allowed to understand the truth, certainly didn't know why the monks were able to put down the pride of belonging to the immortals and keep their feet on the ground for a group of ordinary people.
He couldn't believe his eyes, he couldn't believe it. Therefore, he attributed the consciously and voluntarily busyness of the monks to the ability of the clouds to dominate.
"Then, then, when will your people come back, when do you plan to fight after you come back, and what is the battle plan?" Ji Wuyuan was actually terrified of this kind of dominating ability. Squatting in an empty room alone unfavorably makes his mouth bitter on such days. If you keep thinking about it...... Ji Wuyuan felt that it was better to bend down, so he immediately changed the topic.
Yun Duo smiled slightly, and replied very calmly: "Battle plan...... I'm not going to tell you. The rules of war don't say I have to tell you, and I don't tell you, is that okay?"
Ji Wuyuan was angry.
After gasping for breath for a long time, Ji Wuyuan asked again: "Then when will you fight?...... It's been a month since the Fenglingdu meeting, and the other warbands have already begun to fight, and in any case, you must send out the first patrol after five days, and no matter what this patrol does, they must travel three hundred miles and stay outside the city for ten days. ”
Yun Duo looked at Ji Wuyuan playfully, and was about to taunt a few words. Suddenly, a dark cloud flew up on the main peak of Moyun Ridge, and a powerful coercion spread along the peak from top to bottom. In a moment, this coercion reigned upon the Blue Castle.
The Blue Castle's defenses responded in response, only to hear a buzz, and the entire castle lit up with a defensive shield. This shield is only a third-order defense, and it is like an upside-down bowl that snaps above the castle, shielding it from all physical attacks.
Immediately, the alarm bell rang. (To be continued......)
