"Brother. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ』

The next day, Lu Tianyang was sitting by the window, eating the shoddy lunch, while basking in the summer sun and thinking about how to complete the four-star mission, when he suddenly heard Muyue's voice, and almost squirted out all the steamed buns in his mouth.

"Huh, Muyue, are you calling me?"

The waist-length black hair fluttered lightly in the wind, bringing an elegant fragrance similar to orchids, and Mu Yue, dressed in classical palace clothes, appeared beside him like a phantom, and her dignified and beautiful little face was still cold and expressionless.

"Yes. 』

Lu Tianyang stroked his forehead and said, "Why did you suddenly call me 'brother'?"

"Because the master looked very happy when he heard this title. 』

Hey, is it an illusion? I always feel that Mu Yue's eyes are even colder than usual, and her little face is slightly bulging and seems to be a little unhappy, if Lu Tianyang hadn't been with her for several years, he really couldn't see this subtle change.

"I said Mutsuki, where do you see that I'm happy?"

"You were so happy when that woman called you that yesterday. 』

That woman?

"She's my biological sister in this world, so there's nothing wrong with calling me my brother, right?"

"Then can I also call my master "brother"?"

"Uh...... Yes, yes...... But you're not related to me, are you?'

"So, what about the 'elder master'?"

Hearing her scream, the more strange it became, Lu Tianyang couldn't cry or laugh: "Muyue, why are you so obsessed with the problem of salutation today?"

"I don't know, but I feel a little stuffy in my chest...... It's Muyue's rudeness, please forgive me. After Mu Yue bowed respectfully, she quietly walked to Lu Tianyang's side as usual and waited.

What happened to this little girl?

Muyue is shy by nature, and rarely shows her feelings, and even Lu Tianyang sometimes can't guess her thoughts.

He picked up the jar of wine on the table, poured a full bowl into the bowl, and drank it all with his head up. Wine is not good wine, but for Lu Tianyang, who has not drunk for several days, it can be said that it is a long drought and nectar.

Lu Tianyang breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw Mu Yue walking back to his side, he gently touched her little head and said with a smile: "Mu Yue, I didn't expect you to bring back a jar of wine for me, thank you so much!

"The master is polite, Muyue just saw that Changle helped Chengfeng Hall hide dozens of jars of wine, so she took the sheep and brought back an altar. 』

Muyue didn't come back until late at night last night, and she was still holding a wine jar of nearly five catties in her hand, so happy that Lu Tianyang almost cheered. He is not considered an alcoholic, but in the previous game world, there was no drink or juice, and his friends around him loved to drink, and he slowly developed the habit and habit of drinking, and even his own set of boxing techniques was also related to alcohol.

As for the news of the Changle Gang...... According to Muyue's report, the Changle Gang did not have any conspiracy against him, but to Lu Tianyang's surprise, Chen Biao drove Bu Qingye out of Chengfeng Hall.

Lu Tianyang put down the wine bowl, picked up the steamed bun again and bit it, and sighed while chewing, "Muyue, it's good that you don't have to eat. 』

Muyue usually doesn't need to eat, she restores her physical strength and spirit through a long sleep, and last night she reported the follow-up of the Changle Gang and went to sleep in a stealth bath, and she didn't wake up until morning.

Mu Yue's eyes widened slightly: "Hmm, why did the master say that?"

Lu Tianyang reluctantly swallowed the dry and hard steamed bun he was biting, and joked, "This steamed bun is not easy to swallow, fortunately you don't have to eat, otherwise I wouldn't be willing to let you eat these rough dry food." 』

"Master, you mean that you cherish Muyue very much?" Muyue raised her head, and her eyes seemed to light up.

Lu Tianyang was a little embarrassed by her gaze, and said, "That's probably what it means. 』

Mu Yue looked at him quietly for a while, then suddenly picked up a small piece of steamed bread and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing it: "This is the taste of food? It's so hard, so dry, cough cough......" She barely swallowed, but she choked.

Lu Tianyang hurriedly handed over a glass of water, Mu Yue drank a few sips before she eased up, she raised her eyebrows lightly, and said unhappily: "Master, how can you eat this?"

"You haven't eaten, don't force it. But normal food won't be so unpalatable, if you're really interested, I'll let you taste the food of the world in the future. 』

Muyue muttered in a low voice, "I just want to share the difficulties with my master......

"Yes, yes, you're a good boy. Lu Tianyang touched her little head and sighed, "Now the Chivalrous Valley is too poor, I have to think of ways to make money first, otherwise let alone completing the task and developing the sect, I will not be able to open the pot in two days." 』

Since receiving the new four-star mission yesterday, Lu Tianyang has begun to ponder the financial situation of the Heroes Valley, and now he has basically figured out the current situation of the Heroes Valley.

There are three largest debts, in addition to the five thousand taels of silver from the Changle Gang, there are also seven thousand taels owed to Qingping Taoism, two thousand taels to the Yongzhou Wulin League, and five hundred taels to a certain money village, three hundred taels to a certain pawnshop, and so on.

In addition to selling furniture and sundries, the only source of living income is Lu Xihan's collection of medicines and the sale of herbs and wild fruits, etc., and the daily expenses are not only basic food and clothing, but also the nourishing medicinal materials that Mrs. Lu has taken for a long time, and the annual filial piety of the Yongzhou Wulin League of three hundred and two pairs. Since more than a month ago, all the furniture and sundries that could be sold in Xia Ke Valley have been sold, and the economy has fallen into a difficult situation, and it is seriously unable to make ends meet.

At present, the total liquid assets of Xia Ke Valley are only thirty copper coins, which is barely enough for two days of rice and noodles.

The situation is even worse than imagined, and it is a bit fantastical to earn a thousand taels in ten days and establish a stable source of funds with an average of not less than two hundred taels per day, no wonder the system lists this task as four stars.

Lu Tianyang clenched his fists, he knew that the task of the system was actually the problem he needed to solve the most.

What is the most important thing to develop and expand a school? talent, but what is needed most is money!

Don't look at the treasure chests of martial arts sects in martial arts novels that seem to drop money from the sky and never worry about money, in fact, how to take care of the sect's economy and ensure a stable source of funds is precisely the foundation and key to the development of the sect.

This chivalrous valley is not like Yuntai Temple and Qingping Taoism, which have a steady stream of incense money, nor is it like the Huashan Sword Sect, which has a large number of land deeds and shops, and can support more than 100 disciples just by collecting rent.

Chivalry Valley can only start from scratch and start from scratch.

So relying on the tuition fee for filial piety when recruiting disciples? That's just a drop in the bucket, the disciples' food, clothing, housing, transportation, and the equipment for practicing martial arts, which doesn't need money? Not to mention that in many cases, in order to make an excellent disciple break through the entrance, he has to buy some precious medicinal materials for him to regulate his body. Look at Old Man Lu's original development of the Chivalrous Valley to nearly 100 people, but he was also in debt because of poor management, and the sect was on the verge of bankruptcy is the best negative example.

In any case, whether it is to develop the sect, let Lu Xihan, a little girl, live a more comfortable life, or for the talent of martial arts wizards, Lu Tianyang has to take on this difficult task.

The more difficult the task, the higher Lu Tianyang's fighting spirit. And when it comes to making money, he was a top student in a famous business school on Earth in his previous life, and making money and doing business is his specialty!

He walked back and forth in the room a few times, and soon remembered that his thigh wound had ruptured yesterday, and Xihan helped him reapply the herbs, and today he saw that the wound was half healed.

He couldn't help but think about it, just in time for Uncle Ling to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Lu Tianyang thought about it, and asked Uncle Ling to call Lu Xihan. Xihan was unable to move because of a sprained foot yesterday, and he has been "ordered" by Lu Tianyang to rest at home.

As soon as Xihan arrived, Muyue immediately retreated into the distance, pursing her thin lips without saying a word.

Xihan walked into the room, sniffed with his little nose, and then looked at Lu Tianyang, who looked like usual, and said strangely: "Hey, why does it smell of wine?"

Lu Tianyang picked up the wine jar on the table and said nonsense: "Oh, I actually found a jar of wine under the cabinet in this room last night, so I took it out and drank it." ”

"How can there be wine at the bottom of the cabinet?" Xihan didn't seem to be sure, and looked surprised.

Lu Tianyang shrugged innocently: "You don't know, I don't know." Would you like a bowl?"

Xihan shook his head, his clear eyes flashed with a strange light, staring at the wine jar, and muttered in a low voice: "I don't know how much it can be exchanged for this jar of wine...... It would be nice to find a few more jars. ”

This girl can't be a fan of small wealth, right, she wants to sell everything for money? Lu Tianyang couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly hugged the wine jar in his arms: "This is my wine, only this jar, don't fight its idea." ”

Xihan's little face turned red: "Who wants to rob you?" By the way, you are looking for me to ......" She was halfway through her words, and suddenly seemed to notice something, and looked at the corner of the house.
