Chapter 468: Management Fee
"Senior brother, please pay five thousand high-grade spirit stones. After this disciple of Buzhou Mountain pushed all the things in front of Zhou Fuyao, he continued.
"Ah...... In this way, a few formations were urged, and this required the cost of five thousand high-grade spirit stones, and your Maofeng Steward Pavilion slaughtered us like pigs!" Li Xinzhu, who had been sitting curiously beside Zhou Fuyao and watching, had never spoken, an incredible expression rose on her face, and she said in a somewhat exaggerated tone.
"Fellow Daoist, do you know that these 5,000 high-grade spirit stones are the store management fees charged by the Maofeng Management Pavilion, including the maintenance costs of the usual shop protective formations and the expenses of the Maofeng Guards...... and so on. These fees are charged once a year to all shops above the peak, and the management fee for each area is different according to the flow of people in each area, and the management fee for the area halfway up the mountain is relatively low. This Buzhou Mountain disciple explained to Li Xinzhu.
The reason why the order on this trade peak is so good, of course, has a lot to do with the usual management of the guards of the Steward's Pavilion, these guards also need spirit stones, and those formations that protect shops also need to be maintained regularly, and these things all need spirit stones. Of course, this is also one of the official sources of income for Buzhoushan.
"But we're halfway through this year. Li Xinzhu said in an excited tone.
"Fellow Daoist, this is a rule set by the Zhou Mountain Steward's Pavilion, and no one can change it, and all other factions are like this. If you feel that it is too expensive, you can choose to come back on the first day of the next year to take over the store. These days, let the shop pù first idle in the trade peak. Moreover, you should pay attention to the fact that the annual fees of the Maofeng Management Pavilion will change according to the changes in the current situation of Buzhou Mountain, and the annual fees are subject to the notice issued by the Maofeng Management Pavilion. And these announcements will be directly transmitted to your waist card through the formation center of the Guò Steward Pavilion, so you must keep your waist card and don't lose it. If you lose your waist card, please come to the steward's cabinet immediately to reissue it, of course, this will require an additional fee. This Buzhou Mountain disciple did not have the slightest change in expression because of Li Xinzhu's excited tone, and he explained to Li Xinzhu in a patient tone.
Zhou Fuyao also raised his eyebrows slightly, and he made a gesture towards Li Xinzhu with his hand. signaled Li Xinzhu not to fight anymore. Li Xinzhu pouted slightly, but obediently did not speak again.
"Five thousand high-grade spirit stones, right?" Zhou Fuyao smiled faintly and asked this disciple of Buzhou Mountain. Seeing that this disciple nodded, Zhou Fuyao's divine sense directly probed into the storage ring. In the storage ring, five thousand high-grade spirit stones were carved into the storage bag, and then the storage bag was placed on the long table. Five thousand high-grade spirit stones are not too much, as long as you refine a few furnaces of second-grade elixir, you will come back. Moreover, Zhou Fuyao also thought in his heart that these five thousand high-grade spirit stones would definitely be worth the money.
The disciple of Nabu Zhou Mountain took the storage bag, and his divine sense probed into the storage bag and quickly counted the number of spirit stones. Then he nodded. Put this storage bag into a formation next to it, after this formation was activated, a cloud of white light quickly appeared and wrapped the storage bag, and the next moment the storage bag and the white light disappeared in the formation. It's a teleportation formation capable of teleporting items!
"This fellow Daoist, I have made a spirit stone, can we find the Steward Pavilion to solve any trouble that our shop encounters in Maofeng?" Zhou Fuyao asked in a calm tone.
"Senior brother, if your shop usually encounters someone deliberately making trouble in Maofeng, you can contact the Maofeng Management Pavilion at any time through the token of the guò shop. Maofeng's escort team will rush to the scene as soon as they receive the information. However, the security above the peak is still very good. Incidents like deliberate disruptions have rarely happened. Senior brother, as long as you keep the image of that time and provide it to the escort team of Maofeng as evidence, then the escort team will definitely enforce the law impartially and make the most appropriate handling according to the photo beads you provide. In front of Mao Feng's escorts, all families are treated equally!" the Buzhou Mountain disciple nodded, and said to Zhou Fuyao in an affirmative and proud tone. He didn't brag about it, the security of Maofeng is indeed very good, so the fee is also a little higher.
"For example, if Zhou Juefeng didn't hand over the store's waist card this time, then as long as you showed the life and death status of the gladiatorial arena and the identity waist card, and paid the management fee to the steward's pavilion, then the people in the steward pavilion would forcibly take back the store's waist card. This Buzhou Mountain disciple continued. The steward's cabinet is not the kind of place that does not do things after receiving money, and the steward's cabinet will do its best when it collects money, so there is no store pù arrears in the management fee of the steward's cabinet.
Zhou Fuyao nodded thoughtfully, no wonder the receiving shop is so smooth, it turns out that this Maofeng Steward Pavilion is usually so tough.
"What if there is a dispute over commodity trading?" Zhou Fuyao then asked. If you ask these things clearly, then you will be able to have a lot less trouble in the future.
"If it is a dispute arising from commodity trading, senior brother can also come to our Steward's Cabinet, but our Steward's Pavilion will only try to adjust from it, or be a witness, and how to solve it in the end can only depend on how the two parties to your dispute decide. But on top of the Trade Peak, we in the Trade Peak Guard will do our best to maintain the personal safety of your shopkeeper!" This disciple of Bu Zhou Mountain was very patient, and explained to Zhou Fuyao little by little.
"Thank you, Brother Dao, for solving my doubts!" Zhou Fuyao arched his hand at this disciple of Buzhou Mountain and said.
"Senior brother, the steward's pavilion still has the management rules of the trade peak for sale, do you need a copy!" the Buzhou Mountain disciple reminded in a kind tone.
"And this thing, give me a copy. Zhou Fuyao's eyes lit up, nodded, and said. When you arrive at a place, you first understand the rules of this place, then you can avoid a lot of trouble, and you can use these rules to protect yourself, which is a truth that Zhou Fuyao understands very well.
"Senior brother, wait a minute, please pay a high-grade spirit stone!" The Buzhou Mountain disciple said to Zhou Fuyao while activating the formation on the long table.
Zhou Fuyao took out a high-grade spirit stone from the storage ring and put it on the long table.
I saw that the formation on the long table stimulated a light curtain again, and this Buzhou Mountain disciple quickly clicked a few times on the light curtain, and then put the high-grade spirit stone into the teleportation array, and after the teleportation array was activated, a misty white light enveloped the high-grade spirit stone, and this high-grade spirit stone disappeared together with the white light. Not long after, the teleportation formation on the right side of the long table lit up again, and a thin booklet wrapped in white light appeared in the teleportation formation.
"Senior brother, this is the management rules of Maofeng. This disciple of Buzhou Mountain put the management rules in front of Zhou Fuyao and said.
Zhou Fuyao nodded and picked up the thin book with a few words written on it about the management rules of Maofeng. Starting with the book, Zhou Fuyao found that this book was made of ordinary spirit paper, which can withstand ordinary fire and water, which is also the paper commonly used in books on the market.
"Senior brother, do you have any other questions?" the disciple of Buzhou Mountain asked Zhou Fuyao with a smile.
"No more. Zhou Fuyao shook his head and said.
"Okay, senior brother, if you encounter any trouble in Maofeng in the future, it's best not to use private force to solve it, just look for our steward's pavilion, if there is a problem, find the steward's pavilion, which can save you a lot of trouble. This Buzhou Mountain disciple first put his palm into the formation on the long table, closed the protective formation in the room, and then stood up and said to Zhou Fuyao.
"Thank you for the reminder. Zhou Fuyao nodded, and also stood up with Li Xinzhu.
"Senior brother, please. This disciple of Buzhou Mountain opened the door of the room, made a gesture of invitation to the four of them at Zhou Fuyao, and said.
This disciple of Buzhou Mountain sent Zhou Fuyao and them all the way to the door of the Steward's Pavilion, and then turned back to the Steward's Pavilion.
Li Xinzhu stood outside the gate of the Steward's Pavilion, crossed his waist, pouted and glared at the Steward's Pavilion plaque hanging high above the gate, and said in a fierce tone: "This bird place really costs money like flowing water, and in the blink of an eye, there are no five thousand high-grade spirit stones, and we are really slaughtered as pigs." ”
"Xinzhu, these five thousand high-grade spirit stones are definitely worth it. The stronger this stewardship is, the better it is for our shop. In this way, we don't have to worry about others harassing us, and as alchemists, as long as we refine a few furnaces of pills, this spirit stone will naturally be like water in our accounts. Zhou Fuyao said to Li Xinzhu with a smile. He also knew that Li Xinzhu was used to living in Sifang City, and Zhou Fuyao's usual living expenses were very small. Therefore, Li Xinzhu's concept of spirit stones is still at the stage of living in Sifang City, and she doesn't know how valuable she is now.
"Really?" Li Xinzhu tilted her head curiously, looked up slightly at Zhou Fuyao, who was almost a head taller than herself, and asked in a curious tone.
"Right...... You'll naturally know these things when you get out of the school in the future, you didn't see that the second uncle usually spends his money on spirit stones!" Zhou Fuyao laughed, turned around and walked in the direction of the carriage. This Li Xinzhu is now more and more cute in his eyes, since Yingshuang accepted Li Xinzhu as a righteous daughter, this Li Xinzhu's mood has become more and more cheerful, and it has become more and more elf and eccentric, not as dull as before.
"Brother, how many spirit stones can I earn by refining a furnace of pills now......" Li Xinzhu spread his feet and chased after him quickly.
"Qing Thirteen, go to our shop pù ......" Zhou Fuyao first said to Qing Thirteen, and then said to Li Xinzhu, "I will pick an opportunity to tell you about these in the future." (To be continued......)
