Chapter 167: The Dilapidated Furnace

Liu Rong hurriedly said: "The little one has never seen the steward, but the name of the adult has long been like thunder, and I heard that the adult is coming early in the morning, and the little ones came over early, wanting to see the demeanor of the adult." ”

"Haha, I'm afraid I want to be arrogant and domineering, right? Senior brother is just joking, junior brother doesn't have to be nervous, leave you to ask, just want to know what things are here for me to handle personally, senior brother has been here for two years, I must know something, just say, don't worry if it's wrong." ”

Despite the kindness of the dialect question, Liu Rong was still obviously a little nervous as soon as these words came out, and thought for a while before saying: "The little one will say a few words in vain, and I implore the adults not to be surprised." In fact, there are a lot of people who run errands in the market, and there are a few senior brothers who take care of it personally, and the adults don't actually have too many trivial things. ”

Liu Rong said it more tactfully, but Fang Yan still heard the meaning, this steward actually has no specific things, and Lai and Bulaifang City are running as usual, which makes Fang Yan very satisfied. In addition, Liu Rong has a lot of complaints about the management of this city, and he seems to be a little dissatisfied with the control of several officials, in the final analysis, I am afraid that some interests are still involved, but Fang Yan does not intend to be deeply involved.

"Well, that's fine, the senior brother is here mainly because he wants to have more time to cultivate, and as for the heavy responsibility of managing Fang City, I'm afraid that there will still be those junior brothers. ”

A trace of obvious disappointment flashed in Liu Rong's eyes, and Fang Yan immediately changed his words, looked at Liu Rong and said: "Senior Brother Liu, the first priority for our monks is cultivation, don't fall into uncontrollable disputes, in the end, all you will gain is full of resentment, which will not help cultivation. Since the beginning of his cultivation, the senior brother has always tried his best to avoid competing with others for profit, and even would rather suffer losses himself than avoid those rights and wrongs, and put his mind on cultivation. ”

I saw that Liu Rong immediately showed a surprised and flustered expression, and then nodded thoughtfully, Fang Yan secretly thought in his heart: "In the end, he is young, and he grew up in peace, he has never gone through wind and waves, and some unrealistic thoughts are normal, I think I didn't think about it at the beginning, I just hope he can listen to these words." ”

Fang Yan also saw that he was still quite clever, and he was so young, he didn't mind taking the opportunity to mention him a few words, if it was possible, Fang Yan also wanted to have one or two capable people around him to do errands for him, so that he could let go of his actions more with peace of mind and put all his energy into his own cultivation.

Then Fang Yan asked about the big and small affairs in the Fang City, these Liu Rong is very clear, don't be young, he is quite attentive to the many doorways in this Fang City, and he still has some insights in some things, and he usually spends a lot of thought on these aspects.

However, Fang Yan didn't approve of him going too deep, but let him pay more attention to the things in the market, and he didn't have to deliberately investigate, just report the matter to Fang Yan, and use the messenger he left when Fang Yan was not there. At last the dialect solemnly promised him that as long as he could do it to the satisfaction of the dialect, he would definitely give him a rich reward, no less than the benefits of others.

Rong left in high spirits, and a smile appeared on Fang Yan's face. How Liu Rong is doing, it remains to be observed in the future, today is to use his mouth to give a clear account to the people in the market, and will not interfere too much in their affairs and dialects, and sometimes they will turn a blind eye, but they also have to do their own errands, let alone do nonsense behind the dialect, today he has put a pair of eyes behind everyone, and there will be one or two more if there is a chance.

A morning passed quietly, and after Liu Rong left, a few more people came, all of them were servants in the building, secretly testing the idea of dialect under the pretext of reporting the matter, obviously they were not at ease with what Fang Yan said in the morning. Fang Yan also took the opportunity to observe the human nature of several people, and found one or two that were useful, and all the requirements for their reports were still routine, without revealing any of his thoughts.

"Hehe, they also want to test me with these small means, there is no need to be so troublesome, they will understand after a long time. Fang Yan sneered secretly in his heart, not taking these things to heart, but took out a jade slip at random.

In the afternoon, several officials and servants quietly came to Fang Yan's room and found all kinds of excuses to send filial piety to Fang Yan, all of which were small bags of spirit stones, and the number was not much, ranging from dozens to hundreds.

For their extra income, Fang Yan also knows a little, he himself opened a shop opposite his home, he knows a little bit about these things, most of them are the benefits given by the shops, more can have hundreds of spirit stones every year, less can also receive dozens of yuan, and there are also people who drink less than half a little clear soup and little water all year round, that is because the errands he does are not close to the merchants, and he is excluded by the rest of the people, and he is full of resentment for a long time.

In fact, in terms of dialect, these spirit stones were added to his eyes, but he felt that it was a little too unfair, which reminded him of the former Fang family, so he nodded a few words lightly to several officials, believing that they could all understand. Moreover, Fang Yan did not accept their spirit stones in vain, and took out the golden lijiu Fenggu mellow brew and some talismans as a return gift, and the value was not inferior to the spirit stones they sent.

This is not only to show that he is not an insatiable person, so that everyone can rest assured, but also to advertise his own goods, killing two birds with one stone. And these people who came to the door were not only surprised, but also did not hesitate to make a big deal of propaganda for the dialect, saying that the new steward was kind and fair, etc., all of which were full of praise.

In the following days, Fang Yan did not go to work again, but deliberately stayed on the mountain, and some people left him to behave, but also to make them accustomed to Fang Yan's style of throwing his hands in charge, his purpose was not to spend a lot of effort to manage this market, but to set aside a lot of time for himself to practice.

A few days later, when he went to Fang Market again, Fang Yan did not go directly to Xiaolou to sit on duty, but walked around in the Fang Market, walked around, and every shop went in and around, and greeted the merchants warmly when they met, and pretended to praise a few words >when they saw their subordinates, not to mention, the merchants here and his subordinates ate this set, and they were impressed by him

The Fang market is not too big, but the dialect is about to come to the end of the Fang market in half an hour, and I can see a lot of people coming and going in front of me from a distance, and there are bursts of noisy sounds from time to time. This is the morning market set up in the fang market, in fact, it is a place for those who do not have shops to trade temporarily, the market opens in the early morning, which is equivalent to the "dew market" in the mortal market, and only needs to hand over a spirit stone to the errand officer every day, and you can set up a stall.

In addition to a few fang markets set up by several sects here, there is no other place for trading nearby, and if the surrounding families and scattered cultivators do not catch up with the disciples of each sect, they can only buy and sell the cultivation needs through such a morning market, although most of them are some low-level goods, but the price is cheap, but the truth or falsehood depends on a pair of eyes.

Fang Yan grew up in Yannan City since he was a child, and he likes such a lively place the most, and when he has nothing to do, he will wander around the shops, put a little messy of many stalls, and Fang Yan walked in. The dresses of the stall owners of various colors showed nervousness one by one, and the two messengers guarding the entrance also hurriedly greeted them.

He waved his hand at them, and after a few brief explanations in the dialect, he walked around the stall happily, squatting down from time to time, and asking a few questions with great interest. Most of the goods placed in these stalls are produced in the vicinity, and most of them are unrefined items such as spirit grass and demon beast materials, and there are few finished pills, talismans and magic weapons, and the prices are relatively low.

Hastily, the dialect is not interested, there is nothing worth the dialect here at all, even the talisman materials can not find a few complete, the dialect is ready to go back after a casual walk.

"Hey, what is this?" Just as Fang Yan was about to leave quickly, he felt a familiar breath coming from under his feet, to be precise, this breath was not a smell or spiritual breath, but somewhat similar to the wisp of Ziyang True Qi he inhaled every day, this feeling Fang Yan had never encountered before, and he involuntarily slowed down.

However, Fang Yan's face did not show any abnormality, he still looked careless, and after two random stalls, Fang Yan turned his gaze to a stall full of miscellaneous items. The stall owner was a big man about thirty years old, with dark skin, big shoulders, round waist, thick eyebrows, leopard eyes, and a face-wide face, wearing a single coat, and his hair was messy with a strip of green cloth, and he stared at the monk.

There are many items on the stall, piled up on a wide animal skin cloth like garbage, but few people stop in front of the stall, it looks very deserted, and it is estimated that the dignity of the stall owner frightened many people. However, the cultivation of this stall owner is not too high, only the third layer of qi training, and the goods searched by the cabinet are overturned, and Fang Yan guesses that he is in a hurry to change some spirit stones, so that he can buy the elixir for him to impact the middle stage of qi refining.

Fang Yan squatted down casually, and the stall owner in the costume on Yan grinned and showed a flattering smile, but his appearance was even more terrifying. Fang Yan ignored it, and slowly rummaged through the pile of items on his own, and soon found the item with his familiar aura, a dilapidated stove.

The surface of the skull-sized furnace is full of stains, what color is the material that has been refined, the base of the three legs is broken, one of the two ears is missing, and the lid is missing, and the tripod is full of thick dirt.

Putting the furnace aside, Fang Yan didn't stop, and found a few gadgets, a bottle containing elixir, a black rhizome, and a few colorful low-level spiritual materials, and finally Fang Yan also pulled out the animal skin that was laid underneath, and put them all together.

"Daoist friends, make a price, these are all here. Fang Yan said with a relaxed face, anything unusual.

This big man was afraid and didn't expect that Fang Yan would buy things like this, and even the animal skin he used to set up his stall was picked up, and he didn't dare to attack in the face of Fang Yan dressed as a steward, and was slightly stunned for a moment before gritting his teeth and said: "How about counting a hundred spirit stones, some things can't be figured out below, please don't blame the adults." ”
