Chapter 343 The time has come
So what if you were an emperor or a general during your lifetime? So what if you made great achievements in the world during your lifetime? After death, you will be nothing more than loess. When you were born, you never brought anything to this world. After death, nothing can be taken away from this world.
At this time, more than a month has passed since the death of Shen Canghai, the once undisputed number one master in Changping Prefecture, "Chasing the Wind and the Moon". The major forces in Changping Prefecture have experienced the shock when they first heard the news and expressed their condolences to Shen Canghai. The mourning at the time of the sea gradually returned to calm.
It's just that this kind of calm is more like the calm before the storm. Some forces in Changping Mansion will not just watch the Shen family, which has lost Shen Canghai, continue to be so prosperous. Not only do they want to snatch Dai Dai on the Shen family head The leader of the first family in Changping Prefecture wanted to eat the entire Shen family alive.
However, this kind of thing obviously cannot be accomplished overnight, so before officially starting to take action, these forces chose to lurk in a low-key manner, but as long as they find an opportunity, they will swarm up and tear the Shen family into pieces!
The Shen family naturally knows their situation at this time. The best way to deal with this situation is to let these ill-intentioned people understand that even if Shen family has led the Shen family to the top and controlled the position of head of the Shen family for decades, After Cang Hai dies, the Shen family will still be the same Shen family, even if it is slightly weaker in strength, that is not something you chickens and dogs can make decisions about!
So after Shen Canghai was officially buried, Shen Mingren officially became the new head of the Shen family. With the human-level divine weapon Zhui Feng Chu Yue Dao in his hand, his strength could actually compete with the heads of several other major families. In addition, although Shen Fu is old, he is still far from being unable to use his hands.
Therefore, the Shen family is still equivalent to having two warriors in the middle stage of the Xiantian realm. Although this is far less than the strength of the Shen family at its peak, it still prevents the Shen family from being eliminated from the ranks of the eight major families.
Just as Shen Canghai said and did during his lifetime, Shen Mingren had no intention of taking back the business from the other families after he succeeded to the throne. Not only that, Shen Mingren also gave the other families greater power than when Shen Canghai was alive, causing the other families to Fang is even more convinced by Shen Mingren, the new head of the family.
Shen Mingren did this not just to win people's hearts when he first came to power, but originally most of the power in these businesses was already in the hands of each house, and the head of the house only had a small amount of power in his hands.
This power is not of much use, not to mention that it will make the owner of the family very petty. Therefore, after Shen Mingren took office, he simply handed over all the power of each house's business to each house with a wave of his hand. It was of no use to him. Isn't it beautiful to use something useful to unite a wave of people's hearts?
Not to mention that although the Shen family is still prosperous because of black gold, it seems that Shen Canghai's death has not been a particularly big blow to the strength of the Shen family, but Shen Mingren himself understands that losing a master of the late Xiantian realm to take charge What does it mean to the Shen family, especially when this Xiantian master has been suppressing all the warriors in Changping Mansion for decades!
So even though the Shen family seems to be still in full swing now, this is just an appearance. There are countless forces secretly in Changping Mansion that have their greedy eyes on the Shen family, so at this time there is absolutely no control within the Shen family. There must be no problems. Shen Mingren's move to delegate power is also to unite the Shen family and prevent them from being disintegrated from within by the enemy.
What's more, although the profits of the businesses controlled by other families are not low, they have never been the backbone of the Shen family's business. The backbone of the Shen family's business has always been held by Shen Mingren, or Dafang. in hands.
In the past, the backbone of the Shen family's business was the glazed stones from the Liuli Kingdom. Unfortunately, with the passing of the King of the Liuli Kingdom and Shen Canghai, it is very likely that this business will no longer be handled by the Shen family. If this is the case, it is natural for the Shen family. It was a huge piece of bad news, but at this time, Shen Ye and Wei Wuji brought another new pillar to the Shen family's business, and that was the black gold of the Black Country!
Due to its own characteristics, black gold has a much wider market than glazed stones. This can be seen from the fact that the Shen family receives many families and forces from various states of the Davidic Dynasty every day. This also results in the profit of black gold being much higher than that of glazed stones. Therefore, even if the Shen family can no longer sell glazed stones in the future, the Shen family's economy will still be much better than before.
However, it is precisely because of this that the Shen family is regarded as a thorn in the side of other family forces in Changping Mansion. In addition to the huge profits brought by the black gold business, the more important thing is reputation. In the past, although the Shen family was The first family of Changping Prefecture, but when Changping Prefecture is mentioned in other places, several other major families and sects will still come to mind.
But nowadays, whenever someone mentions Changping Mansion, they will inevitably talk about the Shen family, which sells black gold. They will never talk about other major families and sects, as if there is only one family in Changping Mansion, the Shen family.
Life is only about fame and fortune. Now the interests of other families and sects in Changping Mansion are not as good as those of the Shen family. Even their names have been obscured by the Shen family. How can they swallow this sigh of relief?
The three in-laws of the Shen family, the Liu family, the Han family and the Li family, are easy to say, but what the other families and sects think is really hard to fathom.
Shen Mingren is a smart man, and he naturally understands that the Shen family's current situation of burning oil and flowers is not a good thing, but you can't let him give things like black gold to others like this, right?
Not to mention that Shen Ye and Wei Wuji brought the black gold back to Changping Mansion from the Black Country after going through a lot of hardships and risking their lives in it. Even if someone gave this thing to the Shen family for free, There is absolutely no reason for the Shen family not to sell because of other people's jealousy.
As for the jealousy of other families and forces, let him go. As the saying goes, not making people jealous is mediocrity. In the face of this situation, as long as the Shen family is still strong, there will be no problems. Therefore, Shen Mingren's top priority is not to be jealous. With Shen Canghai as the leader, he continues to lead the Shen family to prosperity!
Whether the Shen family can continue to prosper depends largely on the situation of the black gold business. Although the Shen family has been selling black gold for some time now, there is still an endless stream of families and forces coming to Changping Mansion to buy black gold.
After all, the vast territory of the Davidic Dynasty gave rise to countless small and medium-sized families. Except for a few families that own ores like black gold, almost all small and medium-sized families are very eager for black gold, which can strengthen themselves in a short period of time. Something about family strength.
It's just that the dilemma the Shen family faces now is that their black gold is almost sold out, so they have to limit the sales every day so that the black gold trading time can be extended. Although those families and forces who come from afar are not interested in There was quite a bit of criticism about the Shen family's move, but who said that the Shen family was in a separate business? These families and forces had no choice but to wait patiently.
This is all due to the fact that when Shen Ye and Wei Wuji went to the Black Country, neither they nor Shen Mingren were completely sure about trading with the Black Country, so the gold and silver that Wei Wuji and Shen Ye carried were not considered valuable. It was too much, so naturally the amount of black gold they brought back to Changping Mansion this time was not too much.
The sales speed of black gold far exceeded the imagination of the Shen family, so seeing that the stock of black gold in the warehouse was getting less and less, Shen Mingren had to reluctantly order a sales restriction. After all, no matter how little black gold was sold every day, it was still being sold, but If the Shen family is unable to supply goods at first, it will be easy for some problems to arise that the Shen family cannot control.
However, the Shen family's sales restriction is not only to maintain the daily black gold trading, but also to delay Shen Mingren and others, because Shen Mingren and Shen Ye have once again embarked on the journey to the Black Country with their caravan. journey.
The gold and silver they carried this time was far greater than that of Wei Wuji and Shen Ye, so as long as they brought back the black gold, all the Shen family's current problems could be easily solved.
In fact, Shen Ye and Wei Wuji originally could have led the team to the Black Country this time, but Shen Mingren considered that the Shen family and the Black Country were engaged in long-term business. He was the newly appointed head of the Shen family, and so was the Black Country. The newly appointed King of the Black Country, so it was necessary for him to go and meet the King of the Black Country in person.
So this time Shen Mingren decided to personally lead the caravan to the Black Country. Liu Susu naturally wanted to go with him. Wei Wuji and Shen Ye, as the two leaders of the Shen family's caravan last time went to the Black Country, one of them naturally He wanted to go with Shen Mingren, so Shen Mingren naturally chose his daughter.
Shen Mingren did not choose Wei Wuji, but chose Shen Ye to go with him, not only because Shen Ye was his daughter, but also because it was much better to keep Wei Wuji in the Shen family than to keep Shen Ye in the Shen family.
Because if the other members of the Shen family try to seize power while Shen Mingren is away, Shen Ye's strength is completely insufficient to deal with them, because except for Shen Zhizhong, Shen Ye, the other early Xiantian realm warriors in the Shen family, all but.
But Wei Wuji was very different. Shen Mingren had long heard about Wei Wuji's achievements in the Black Kingdom from Shen Ye. Not to mention the stalemate with Lu Shui who defended the city in the early Gangqi realm for a while. After all, Wei Wuji was just He was just taking a beating because of his strong physique and earth-level body-protecting martial arts, but in the battle with Gailou Qingkong in the middle stage of the Xiantian realm, Wei Wuji actually ended the fight in a draw!
Therefore, judging from what Shen Mingren knows, it is impossible for the early-stage Xiantian realm warriors in the other rooms of the Shen family to defeat Wei Wuji, and because of the relationship between Wei Wuji and Shen Ye, the Shen family will sooner or later be in Wei Wuji's pocket. There is no need for him to have any evil thoughts about the position of the head of the Shen family while Shen Mingren is away from the Shen family.
After Shen Mingren took Liu Susu and Shen Ye to the Black Kingdom, everything in the Shen family was still running as usual. From the surface, it was not obvious that Shen Mingren, the head of the family, had left Changping Mansion. The business of other houses was still managed by themselves, and Naturally, the black gold business is managed by Wei Wuji, the son-in-law who has never lived in a large house.
As for the position of head of the Shen family, Shen Fu has been temporarily replaced. Shen Fu's loyalty to the Shen family is unquestionable. He has lived in the Shen family for as many years as Shen Fu has lived now, not to mention that he has no children. As a half-girl, she has regarded the five Shen Mingren brothers and sisters as her biological children since she was a child, so she will naturally not do anything to disgrace the Shen family.
Before Shen Mingren went to the Black Kingdom, he was right that Wei Wuji would not have any thoughts about the position of the head of the Shen family, but it was not just because of Wei Wuji's relationship with Shen Ye.
It's because Wei Wuji no longer looks down on the Shen family's wealth. In Wei Wuji's opinion, the Shen family's structure is still a bit too small. If a man wants to do something, he must do it big. Only one talker in one place is enough!
That's right, Wei Wuji has now planned to transfer the forces of the Shanhe Gang to Changping Mansion, because he has officially entered the innate realm, and even the [Golden Bell] has been cultivated to the third level by him.
Even though his [Golden Bell Shield] only has three levels now, his current physical strength and defense capabilities are far greater than when he first practiced [Vajra Demon Subduing Technique]!
And another more magical thing about [Golden Bell Cover] is that it can promote Qi training during body training, which means that Wei Wuji can hit the acupoints at the same time when he is training his body.
This has also resulted in Wei Wuji's progress in attacking acupoints being extremely rapid. Now he has opened five of the fifty-four double acupoints, and I believe he will soon be able to catch up with Shang Shen Ye's ten.
This would be something that ordinary body-training warriors would never dare to think about, because body-training warriors are strong in physical strength, and as for the progress of the martial arts realm, they have never been as fast as those of qi-training warriors.
Wei Wuji's current situation has undoubtedly broken this point. Of course, it is also possible that physical training techniques above the prefecture level have this effect, but Wei Wuji was ignorant and ignorant before.
But no matter what, with Wei Wuji's current strength, he is confident that even if the heads of several major families and sects take action together, he can still handle it with ease, so now is the time to let the brothers of the Shanhe Gang leave Xiangliao County That little place.
As soon as they received the letter written by Wei Wuji, everyone within the Shanhe Gang was furious. After all, since the Shanhe Gang unified Xiangliao County, they have no more battles to fight, and the six gates in Xiangliao County also have no relationship because of Wei Wuji. They would look for trouble with the Shanhe Gang, so the entire gang members fell into a state of doing nothing.
This is naturally a good thing for some people who join gangs just to eat and die, but for some members who have ambitions in their hearts, it is not a good thing.
