If he had shown good intentions before, Li Jin's inquiry at this moment was a complete win-over.
Lin Haoming naturally knew that being in the academy didn't actually mean much. He thought about it and asked: "Elder Li, being in the academy really doesn't mean much to me. The only advantage is that I am relatively peaceful and I have more time.
"
"Hey, brother Lin, why don't you come out? Tianxiang's Red Sea City is short of an elder. Is Brother Lin interested in going there?" Li Jin asked.
"Red Sea City is located on the edge of the Red Sea Lake. Red Sea Lake is the largest lake on Huangye Island. Almost half of the red lotuses in Xuanxing Palace are produced in Red Sea Lake. Red Sea City is also one of the fifteen major cities on Huangye Island. It is the largest lake in Huangye Island.
The elder of the city!" Lin Haoming said, looking at Yue Tianxiang.
Yue Tianxiang sighed and said: "To be honest, Mr. Lin, I have only been the city lord of Red Sea City for a few decades. When I first went there, I was ostracized. It was only in the past two years that I took the opportunity to get rid of a certain elder.
, If Mr. Lin comes to help me, then Red Sea City will definitely belong to our world in the future. Red Sea City is not only the only income from the red leaf lotus, the red leaf insects associated with the red leaf lotus are the main raw materials for refining the Paradise Pill!"
When Lin Haoming heard this, he immediately understood. He looked at Li Jin again, and Li Jin also nodded.
"This Paradise Pill is a forbidden pill. After taking it, it can make people lose their mind and fall into a state of ecstasy. Without Xuanhuang's cultivation, it is impossible to resist it."
"Hehe, that's what I said, but the Paradise Pill is indeed one of the specialties of our Huangye Island. Brother Lin may not know that the pill was actually originally used as a medicine to temper the state of mind, but some people with insufficient cultivation took it.
It became an illegal elixir, not to mention our Emperor Tiangong, other major forces overflowed it even more severely, and Xuanxing Palace designated Huangye Island to refine it every year, but we refined it privately.
The quantity is more than required, and of this part, we occupy less than 30%!" Li Jin said.
"Is it because there are not enough alchemists or insufficient raw materials?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Of course there is a shortage of raw materials. Xuanxing Palace requires us to hand over 200,000 pills every year. In fact, the number refined every year has already exceeded 500,000. This does not include some people who refine it alone in private. What if?
This plus 6 to 7 million is always available, so the red leaf worms are enough to refine 6 to 7 million Bliss Pills in one year, one Bliss Pill and 20 Xuan Crystals. If half of the costs are removed, the profit alone will be 6 to 7 million.
Xuanjing, I calculated the cost to provide it to Xuanxing Palace. The cost of refining it privately is much lower. If it can be controlled in our hands, there will be nearly ten million Xuanjing in a year. Of course, Xuanxing Palace has 20
We can't move 10,000 pieces, but we can only get 60,000 to 70,000 pieces out of the 300,000 pieces outside the Xuanxing Palace," Li Jin said.
"Who occupies the majority?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Pei Yunxiao took away 100,000 pieces. He is the altar leader, so he has the qualifications! But there are about 150,000 pieces left, all of which are in the hands of Lu Youde. This guy named Lu used his military power to directly take it and
The Donghai Kingdom trades at a higher price and can earn two to three million Xuan Crystals a year." Li Jin said angrily.
Lin Haoming knew that the Donghai Kingdom was one of the sixty lower-level forces recognized by the Snow Temple, but even so, its scale was no less than that of the Xuanxing Palace. The entire Xuanxing Palace was located in the southeastern sea area in the south of Zhongzhou, northeast of
The Donghai Kingdom is the only island country with the Donghai Islands as its core that is nominally part of the Zhongzhou force, but is actually not on the Zhongzhou continent.
"Has Lu Youde always occupied so much share?" Lin Haoming asked carefully.
"Of course this is impossible. The share is constantly changing. Specifically, the distribution of red leaf insects is constantly changing."
"Why are there so few on our side?" Lin Haoming asked.
"The situation in Red Sea City is more complicated. Red Sea City first started out by cultivating red leaf lotus. With the emergence of red leaf worms and bliss pills, three major families in Red Sea City gradually formed. Each of these three major families is deeply rooted, or in another way.
It is said that every family actually has Xuansheng as its backer. Lu Youde's wife died early, so he raised a bunch of concubines, each of whom has various interests with him, and the most important one is
, she is the daughter of the Ge family, one of the three major families in Red Sea City, and the Ge family is also the largest family in Red Sea City, accounting for a little more than 40% of all red leaf lotus business." Li Jindao.
"What about us?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Tianxiang is a member of the Yue family. The Yue family occupies 20% of the red leaf lotus business. In addition, there is the Qian family, which also has almost 20% share. The remaining less than 20% is in the hands of other small and medium-sized families. As for the Qian family's backers,
"Pei Yunxiao, after Pei Yunxiao arrived at Huangye Island, the Qian family gave their daughter to Pei Yunxiao as a concubine," Li Jin said.
After hearing this, Lin Haoming finally understood that this business was basically divided among the three altar owners. Meng Tianmu felt that he had suffered a big loss, so he wanted to make more.
"What can I do if I go?" Lin Haoming asked.
"The 200,000 handed over to Xuanxing Palace will be shared equally by everyone. For Pei Yunxiao's 100,000, the Qian family will pay half, and the others will share it equally. The biggest problem now is that many people from small and medium-sized families have followed the Ge family. They
Most of them don't have the ability to refine the Paradise Pill themselves, so they sell the red leaf insects to the Ge family." Yue Tianxiang said.
"Didn't the Qian family and your Yue family pay for the purchase?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Haha, Lu Youde did business directly with the Donghai Kingdom. His profits were much higher than ours. We also raised the purchase price in the past, but in the end we still couldn't compare with the other party, which made our own benefits even smaller, so we finally made an appointment.
Restore the original price." Yue Tianxiang said helplessly.
"If this is the case, it won't be of much use if I go there!" Lin Haoming said in confusion.
"Hey, Brother Lin, you are wrong. After all, the Bliss Pill is a banned elixir. If someone uses this as an excuse to crack down on the private sales of the Bliss Pill, what do you think will happen?" Li Jin asked.
"What do you mean, I am an elder who actually specializes in checking for the Paradise Pills, and I will check as long as it is the Ge family's private business, so that those people have to sell the red leaf insects to the other two companies?" Lin Haoming asked.
"For this reason, the Qian family doesn't want to see the Ge family dominate, so as long as someone is willing to do this, it can still play a decisive role." Li Jin said.
After Lin Haoming understood this matter, he frowned and said: "Elder Li, if I did this, wouldn't it be a thorn in the side of Deputy Altar Master Lu? Being targeted by a Xuan Sheng's boss would be a big deal to me.
