Tang Feng was happy in his heart, and finally brought the relationship closer, and said: "That's all thanks to Brother Hai's guidance, I'm just running errands, but I really have encountered problems in the current teaching, and I still need Brother Hai's help to come up with a plan." ”

"Oh!" Hai Fugui made a gesture of please, "It's better to talk while walking." ”

Tang Feng immediately followed, and said: "This sect has been following the strategy you set before, Brother Hai, exchanging ore for rice and grain materials, etc., and has also made significant developments, and now it is planning to make iron and forge it yourself according to what Brother Hai said, and there are many brothers in the sect who understand iron smelting and forging, but the lack of iron-making furnaces can be described as a skillful woman who can cook without rice." ”

Hai Fugui still thought that it was still the soil method of smelting pig iron, and when he heard this, the iron-making technique here had developed into kiln iron-making, so he said: "The furnace is easy, but it is difficult to make refractory bricks and blowers, and it needs to be purchased from the human race, have you mentioned this matter to Li Xinmao of Yiling?"

"I did, but there was nothing he could do. Tang Feng sighed and said, "Brother Li said that the refractory bricks and blowers needed for iron-making furnaces are strictly controlled by the government, and it is difficult for ordinary people to obtain them. ”

At this time and then, Hai Fugui forgot about this stubble, after all, this is still the period of cold weapons, the government is extremely strict with the management of iron weapons, and the Jingtian Sect can secretly mine iron and copper ore, that is because of the remote location, and it is difficult for the government to find it for a while. However, it is not easy to obtain the necessary equipment for ironmaking.

There are still ways, Hai Fugui's first thought is to bribe the relevant personnel of the government and buy a few sets of equipment privately, and then he thought that the demons will eventually go out openly, and this kind of dark box operation is better to do less, so as not to fall into the hands of others, so he said: " Although this matter is difficult to do, there is still a glimmer of hope, but you can go to Kaifeng to find a friend, Brother Jiang also knows, let him introduce the government personnel on his behalf, that is, in the name of official and business cooperation, for the government to make iron, responsible for providing the government with how much iron every year, as for how much can be left, it depends on the efforts of the brothers. Speaking of this, Hai Fugui couldn't help but smile. The Tao contained in this does not need to be explicitly stated,

Tang Feng seemed to see the blue sky through the clouds and mist, embarrassed by things that he had no clue for many days, and was woken up by Hai Fugui's words, and couldn't help but rejoice: "A word woke up the person in the dream, and it made me pause." Brother Hai is really scheming, and it seems that the place that the Lord has left for you in the religion is extremely wise. ”

"Oh?" Hai Fugui became interested and asked, "Brother Jiang has reserved a place for me?"

Tang Feng said: "This sect has eight Venerables above and below, and above the eight Venerables, there is a Heavenly Venerable, who is above one person and above ten thousand people. Many brothers in the sect were curious about why the position of Heavenly Venerable had been vacant for so long, and even Deadwood could only serve as the head of the eight Venerables, and the Lord said that this was reserved for a person who had passed through heaven and earth. Now it seems that there must be no doubt that it is Brother Hai. ”

Hai Fugui smiled, he was naturally not interested in this Heavenly Venerable, and asked: "There are already eight Venerables in the sect, and it seems that the power is not small, by the way, who is Deadwood? "Hai Fugui thought that the first place must be Li Yan.

"Speaking of dead wood, I Tang has to admire it again. Tang Feng said brightly, "I won't tell you, before, apart from the Lord, I admired you the most, Brother Hai." ”

"Prizes, prizes"

"Now there is one more, that is, Dead Wood, the Pure Heaven Sect can grow rapidly, the number of disciples in the sect has doubled, and the prestige of the Lord is naturally inseparable, in addition to the Lord, the greatest credit is the Dead Wood, half of the disciples in the current sect are from his lobbying, and the establishment of the Pure Heaven Sect is also from his suggestion, it can be said that he single-handedly contributed to the establishment of the Pure Heaven Sect. This person is full of economy, well-informed, far-reaching in what he does, but he is gentle and elegant, which makes people feel like a spring breeze. ”

This made Hai Fugui even more interested, and asked: "There is still such a person in the sect, comparable to Zhuge Reincarnation, what is his way of origin?"

Tang Feng didn't understand what Zhuge reincarnation was, and thought that he was short-sighted, so he replied: "The origin of the dead wood is extremely mysterious, wearing a black robe all day long, wearing a mask, it is estimated that only the master in the sect knows his origin, but as the main person, people have always used people without suspicion, even if the origin of the dead wood is mysterious and suspicious, the lord will not easily suspect it." ”

Hai Fugui also knows Jiang Cheng's temperament, and he doesn't suspect that he needs to use people, but why is this dead wood described by Tang Feng so familiar, and he is also a black-clothed mask, is it such a coincidence? Do you want to meet him for a while first? Thinking of this, I can't help asking: "Can he be in the teaching? Can you introduce one or two to see this erudite and unfathomable virtuous?"

"It's a pity, the so-called heroes cherish each other, Brother Hai and Deadwood are both far-sighted people, and they will definitely be able to become friends who talk about everything. Tang Feng said with some regret, "It's just that Deadwood has been out looking for demons scattered all over Shenzhou all year round, and he rarely stays in the Zenith, and he rarely participates in the daily affairs of the sect. ”

This makes Hai Fugui even more strange, originally thought that the other party was a person with ill intentions, what would he have ill intentions, after all, the soldiers and horses were brought by him, and the status in the sect was the highest, and his prestige was second only to the sect leader Jiang Cheng, it was difficult to guarantee that one day he would not raise the flag to rebel, and now it seems that he is really dedicated to making wedding dresses for others. Could it be that Jiang Cheng was so lucky that he met his own Xiao He? Hai Fugui couldn't see anyone, so he could only knock on the side through Tang Feng.

Suddenly, a shuttlecock flew next to him, Hai Fugui avoided it sideways, flicked his legs, and the shuttlecock flew to the front, lightly, the shuttlecock flew back to the children playing on the side of the road, and the footwork of this line of clouds and water attracted bursts of applause from the children, and Hai Fugui showed a bright smile in response. Seeing Hai Fugui's childlike behavior, Tang Feng was even more curious about him.

Hai Fugui asked about this dead wood without a trace, but just like Tang Feng said, the dead wood is too mysterious, outsiders know little about him, and he has been developing disciples outside the sect all the year round, and it is rare to see each other, and he can't get any useful information when he asks and asks. Since you can't find anything from him, then find out from what he does, no matter what your purpose is, there will always be a direction. So Hai Fugui asked, "Brother Tang, what is the quality of the disciple developed by this Deadwood Venerable?"

Tang Feng replied: "Demons, there are naturally good and bad, good and bad are certain. ”

"It's a reckless development and growth. ”

"I can't say that, after all, from the perspective of what Deadwood has done, he is loyal to this sect, and the disciples he has developed are also loyal to this religion, only the lord's orders are obeyed, and the lord is the demon lord after all, and the hope of the demons in the human world lies. ”

Hai Fugui always felt a little strange that he couldn't explain, thought about it, and asked again: "Has there been any conflict between the new disciple and the original disciple?"

Tang Feng said: "There will naturally be conflicts, but they are all minor problems, not worth mentioning." Suddenly thinking of something, he suddenly said: "Oh, by the way, this Deadwood Venerable is good at everything, but it is a little too extreme, he does not believe in the human race, he thinks that the human race is a group of cunning people, and it is impossible to have mercy on demons, and he has always advised the Lord to be wary of the human race, and even to confront it head-on." ”

Hai Fugui finally understood the problem he suspected, the fundamental concept of this Deadwood Venerable was just the opposite of himself, he wanted to take the road of peaceful coexistence, but he insisted on fighting with swords and halberds, and the tip of the needle was against Maimang, this is not good, Brother worked hard to achieve today's situation, how can it be destroyed by you. So he asked, "Brother Tang, I don't know what the attitude of the disciples in the sect is towards the human race now?"

Tang Feng said a little frustratedly: " Alas, in fact, the demon nature in the mouth of the human race is not bad, and there is no aggression, but they just want a stable life, the disciples of the previous Tianzenith and Qianfeng Ridge have made great changes to the human race after a period of time, and their suspicion and vigilance have been weakened a lot, but with the increase of new disciples, there are more and more things in the religion about being oppressed and hurt by the human race, and now the situation is a little worrying, but fortunately, the Lord does not have the ambition to compete with the human race, and has been reassuring the disciples in the sect to be humble and patient. ”

It seems that the matter is not as serious as I imagined, as long as the demon is given a stable life, there will be no violent heart. Listening to the tone of what Tang Feng said just now, he must also want to take the path of peaceful coexistence, after all, he is also a human race. Thinking of this, Hai Fugui couldn't help but secretly plan the next steps.

At this time, Tang Feng said: "These sect affairs are not within my jurisdiction, and it is inconvenient for me to interfere, so I can only try to create a good life for the disciples in the sect, so that the hatred and indignation in my heart will naturally dissipate." ”

"That's right, this is the cure for the hatred between demons and humans. Hai Fugui nodded,

Tang Feng changed his words and said, "However, when the sect was first established, there are many life problems encountered in the sect at present, the most difficult thing is the lack of salt, the government's tight control over salt, and the disciples in the sect suddenly increased too quickly, and other living materials are okay, but salt is difficult to keep up with for a while." ”

This is an urgent problem, salt is a necessary material for life, and now the salt tax accounts for a large part of the tax burden of the imperial court, and the government controls salt quite strictly, and only salt merchants who hold salt can buy and sell it in various places. If you are close to the sea, it is easy to solve, but it is difficult in the deep mountains and old forests.

Hai Fugui said: "I have heard that Ninglang Town produces well salt, and the landform of forty miles north of the zenith seems to be somewhat similar to Ninglang Town. ”

"If we can open well salt, it will not only solve the urgent needs of the religion, but also bring huge benefits. Tang Feng subconsciously ignored why Hai Fugui could see that the north side was similar to the terrain of Ninglang Town, and why he could judge that he could produce well salt, thinking about the fact that the Lord said that he was a strange person who traveled through heaven and earth, and everything was possible. In fact, this idea has many ingredients in Hai Fuguimeng.
