Chapter 337: Runshi City
"Brother Mo praised me, my old Zhu is just a little thing between the two places, and it can be said that I know Zhongzhou! Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhu Fanyu said with a smile on his face while carefully looking at Mo En.
As a businessman who has been doing business on this route all year round, Zhu Fanyu has always paid attention to establishing contacts, and Zhu Fanyu will try to make friends with any people who seem to be extraordinary. Although most of the time it ends in failure, there are individual examples of success. These friendships made on the sea ship have helped Zhu Fanyu a lot, and even helped Zhu Fanyu survive several major crises, so over the years, Zhu Fanyu has always adhered to his concept of making good connections and trying to build a good relationship with the people on the same ship.
As for Mo En, a new face who has been in retreat since he got on the ship, Zhu Fanyu was quite interested from the beginning. After all, ordinary monks would rarely spend three hundred high-grade spirit stones to book a first-class room on a sea ship. Merchants who run the sea route or travel are more economical, and most of them live in the bilge that only needs a hundred high-grade spirit stones. Although the place in the bilge is small and there is no private space, it will be very inconvenient to cultivate in the past few months, but it can save a large amount of spirit stones. And those private rooms with good confidentiality, comfortable environment, and expensive prices are generally only used when the elite disciples of the major temples go out to practice. And Mo En was dressed as a casual cultivator, but his bearing was extraordinary, far better than the foundation building monk Zhu Fanyu had seen, and he lived in a high-class room to retreat and cultivate, which was obviously very unusual. So Zhu Fanyu was quite enthusiastic about befriending Moen, and he was quite active in answering Moen's questions.
"Runshi City belongs to the Silver Star Sword Sect, the top major faction in Zhongzhou. Because of the Jinshi route, Runshi City can be regarded as one of the few big cities of cultivation in the north of Zhongzhou, where countless monks and warriors are scattered. It is said that during the peak trade season in February and March every year, hundreds of thousands of monks even gather in Runshi City, and the prosperity is not inferior to several top cities in Huangzhou. Here, you can not only find all kinds of specialties from Beidi and Zhongzhou, but also find precious resources from all over the southern Manzhou and even the East China Sea Islands. If you want to find some precious materials, Brother Mo, this time is a good opportunity to go to Runshi City. Zhu Fanyu said attentively. The so-called Jinshi route refers to the route from Jinxia City to Runshi City. Because the two sides presiding over the waterway were the Heavenly Killing Temple and the Silver Star Sword Sect, two top-level sects that were leaders in both places, this waterway was also the most prosperous and had the largest cargo throughput among the nine routes. Correspondingly, Runshi City, as one of the hubs, is also extraordinarily prosperous.
"Oh, there's still something from the East China Sea, a barbarian state? Morn said with a smile. Although Morn has traveled a lot over the years, he has always been limited to the Northland, and he is still very interested in the Barbarian Prefecture that is still south of Zhongzhou, and the East China Sea Islands scattered over the East China Sea. Especially the barbarian state, which also has a shamanic magic inheritance, is extremely curious.
"Hehe, for us in the Northland, the items in Manzhou and the East China Sea are naturally very rare, but in Zhongzhou, these things are not rare. Whether it is the ancient barbarian passage in the 100,000 mountains or the starry route in the East China Sea, it can bring a large number of special resources to Zhongzhou. And our Seven Great Temples of the Wasteland have to purchase a lot of resources from Zhongzhou every year, including many specialties of the Barbarian State and the East China Sea Islands. In order to earn this profit, the great forces of Zhongzhou will naturally transfer some of the specialties of Manzhou and the East China Sea to Runshi City. If Brother Mo is interested in buying these things, I will help you buy them, or recommend a few reputable shops for you. Zhu Fanyu explained with a smile.
"I just want to see it, I don't necessarily need these things, thank you Brother Zhu for your kindness. Mo En smiled slightly, and did not accept the other party's kindness, but continued to ask: "Brother Zhu is so familiar with Runshi City, can you tell me about the things that need to be taboo in Runshi City?
"Brother Mo's mind is really thorough. Indeed, although Runshi City is directly under the jurisdiction of a top faction like the Silver Star Sword Sect, with Yuanying peak masters in charge, after all, there are monks from all over the world, and dragons and snakes are mixed. There are honest businessmen like me, but there are also outlaws who want to make a fortune. There are also things that are leaning against each other among businessmen in various places. Zhu Fanyu raised his eyebrows slightly, and explained solemnly: "But generally speaking, as long as the monk is active in the city, does not take the initiative to hurt people, and does not contradict the patrol team of the Silver Star Sword Sect, there will be no big trouble. Also, it is better to be careful when trading, some businessmen will design some traps to blackmail casual cultivators, if you accidentally get hit, you are likely to break a fortune. It would be better if there was a professional guide. ”
"Oh, is it only blackmailing loose cultivators?" Morn asked with a calm expression.
"The disciples of the big sects have the support of the sects, even if there is a dispute, the sect will use the relationship with the Silver Star Sword Sect to protect their disciples, and these merchants naturally dare not blackmail them easily. Loose cultivation has no foundation to back, and it is difficult to retaliate after suffering losses, so it is naturally a good target for blackmail. Therefore, casual cultivators generally choose to make some friends with maritime merchants, so as not to be isolated after an accident. Maritime merchants also like to make casual friends to broaden their network and improve their ability to cope with crises. This kind of bitterness is something that the disciples of the Great Gate Sect cannot understand. Zhu Fanyu sighed and explained.
Although the main purpose is to win over Morn, what Zhu Fanyu said is also true. Ordinary maritime merchants are hopeless foundation building monks, so they choose this kind of profession of life in exchange for wealth. After all, there is basically no time to cultivate due to the bumps in the sea all year round, coupled with business calculations, but any monk who hopes to continue to advance will not do this kind of work for a long time. After choosing this profession, the purpose of shipping merchants is basically how to earn wealth safely, and it is normal to form gangs to protect themselves.
"It's so dangerous! I'd better go to the auction house and buy something. It's the Silver Star Sword Sect's field, so there shouldn't be any blackmail. Morn said lightly. Although Zhu Fanyu's words were more ingenious, they had little effect on Mo En. Although the strength of the Jindan Rank is not a top-notch force in Runshi City, it is not something that anyone can bully at will, and there is no need to unite with the Zhuji Monk at all.
"Hehe, Brother Mo is arrogant. Zhu Fanyu was slightly stunned, and finally said helplessly. Those who dare to enter the auction house to buy and sell are either extremely high in cultivation, or have a rich net worth and a very deep background, which is not at all comparable to ordinary shipping merchants. When Mo En said this, he also cut off Zhu Fanyu's idea of wooing.
"It is an honor to meet Brother Mo. This is some of the information I have collected in Zhongzhou over the years, although it is not a confidential information, but it is also rich, let's take a look at it when Brother Mo has nothing to do. In the next farewell. After making sure that he couldn't win over Mo En, Zhu Fanyu didn't try anymore, and after respectfully taking out a jade slip and handing it to Mo En, he turned around and went back to the bilge, leaving Mo En alone on the deck to watch the scenery.
