After Ding Kui returned home, he first practiced fighting qi skills. When he didn't have fighting qi, he felt very weak. Although he still had magic power to use, his combat power level was even higher. ???? ?? ?
Teng Yan's purpose was to test Ding Kui's fighting spirit. In the previous competition training, Ding Kui had basically not exhausted his fighting spirit. He wanted to know how long Ding Kui's fighting spirit could last, so he allowed Ding Kui to retain a certain amount of physical strength.
.
The "Transforming Qi into Dragon Technique" was launched, inhaling a trace of energy and gathering it into the meridians. Ding Kui found that the flow of Dou Qi had accelerated, but the increase in Dou Qi volume had slowed down.
After being promoted to the Fighting Blade Knight, Ding Kui thought that the fighting energy in one meridian was only increased. However, with the improvement of his cultivation, the fourth meridian was opened and the fighting energy formed a small circulation in the body.
The change.
Dou Qi continues to circulate in the body, and the combination of energy and qi and blood has increased a little. Dou Qi appears more solid and easier to control, but the total amount is shrinking.
The newly formed Dou Qi is the same as the one after the change, except that the time required has become longer, and the improvement of Ding Kui's Dou Qi cultivation has slowed down a lot.
In fact, all professions are the same. The higher the level, the slower the improvement of cultivation. Of course, the improvement of sword knights is slower than that of trainee knights. Older people generally have higher combat power levels, and younger people in knight competitions are better.
It is difficult for newcomers to beat the players of the right age.
It took Ding Kui three days to restore the original amount of fighting spirit, but the quality was higher than before. He had to pay attention to the cultivation of fighting spirit. The pressure on him from high-level knights was obvious. No matter how strong he was in magic training, he could not become a master.
Use it in public.
After handling some trivial matters, he once again acted as a hands-off shopkeeper, disguised himself and sneaked away to Funiu Mountain.
This time Ding Kui stayed in the mountains for several months and did not return to the county town until the end of August.
"Young Master, are they going to Zhoucheng with you this time?" Old Qiantou was arranging for everyone to pack their bags.
"There's no need for Dachuan to go. He has already made several trips, so he should stay at home and spend time with his wife.
Others who don't want to move can stay at home. After the state competition, we will prepare for the national competition. Pingzhong County is closer to the capital, so we still have to come back." Ding Kui said confidently.
"Master, the journey to Zhoucheng is a bit far, but you can't leave me behind. I have been to all the cities, but I have not been to Zhoucheng. This time I want to follow the young master to open my eyes." Ding Xiao took one.
Put on new training clothes for Ding Kui.
"You can go if you want. If you have nothing to do at home, you can ask Senior Brother to take you out for a walk. Don't play with Fei Yong at home all day long." Ding Kui said, grabbing Fei Yong's neck and lifting him up, "It's not allowed to follow."
Fei Yong kicked his legs wildly, his mouth slightly opened, but he couldn't make a sound.
Ding Xiao quickly held Fei Yong with his hand, snatched it from Ding Kui's hand, and said: "Feng Liang is your senior brother, not mine, why should you follow him out? Be careful, don't strangle him to death."
It's flying, and its neck is the most sensitive."
"Hey, Feng Liang has been called, isn't he Mr. Feng?" Ding Kui looked at Ding Xiao with a playful expression.
Ding Xiao, whose face was flushed, rolled his eyes like Feng Liang, hugged Fei Yong, and turned around to leave.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the two of them had a pretty good relationship while I was away." Ding Kui muttered as he looked at Ding Xiao's shy back.
"Haha, if Ding Xiao wants to go, Captain Feng will definitely follow him. Together, they can be regarded as a talented man and a beautiful woman." Naturally, things in Ding's house cannot be hidden from the eyes of the old money man.
"By the way, don't take your apprentice with you. Running such a long distance at such a young age will make her mother worried." Ding Kui thought of Xiao Hua.
"Now that the young master has spoken, let's keep her at home and train with Jiang Shunchuan for a while. It will be fine to practice her eyesight." A smile appeared on Lao Qiantou's face when he talked about Xiaohua.
"I started my apprenticeship training when I was more than eight years old. Poor little flower is only seven years old. Did your eldest apprentice also start training at such a young age?" Ding Kui said with a pity tone.
"Haha, Xiaohua is almost eight years old. Archers are different. There is no strength and endurance training at the beginning. It mainly focuses on eyesight, reaction and finger dexterity training. My eldest apprentice had a much harder time than Xiaohua when he was a child."
Old Qiantou was a little proud when talking about his great disciple.
General Shi didn't know that he was being exposed, and was following a caravan into the State of Cao through the border checkpoint of the State of Qi.
"Hey, you, I'm talking about you, open your bag and let the military master see what you have brought. You are not a good person. Do you have any contraband?" A rude Cao soldier pointed at
General Shi said.
Shi Jiang's eyebrows twitched, he suppressed his anger and walked over calmly, obediently unpacking his baggage.
"Humph, you're a poor guy, he doesn't have anything of value, and he's a guy who wants to come to our country of Cao to defraud money." Cao soldiers muttered as they rummaged through General Shi's baggage.
At this time, a gust of wind blew by, even blowing up General Shi's sleeves.
"Bah, bah, bah." Cao Guo's soldier felt that many foreign objects were brought to his mouth by the wind, and quickly spit it out, "This damn wind and sand. You unlucky ghost has spread all the bad luck here. Walk around, don't stick around there."
Block the way." After saying this, the Cao soldiers stretched out their hands to push the general.
General Shi moved his shoulder, slipped in his steps, and passed in front of the soldiers of Cao State, and then Shi Shiran walked into the territory of Cao State.
"Tnnd, the thief-minded guy is quite flexible." The Cao soldier spat on the ground.
The next morning, the Cao soldier was found dead suddenly in the camp. According to the diagnosis by the doctor in the camp, he died of cerebral hemorrhage.
Shi Heng brought Shi Li to Ding's house early in the morning and sat in the living room for a while. Shi Heng took the initiative to go to the study with Ding Kui to discuss matters.
"Your Majesty, I am going to do a lot of work in Zhenna City this time. Although Editor Mu went to Anguo County and has not returned yet, I brought Editors Shen and Jiang with me, and we will set up the headquarters of Yanhuang Magazine in Zhoucheng from now on.
Shi Heng said excitedly.
Ding Kui was not moved by Shi Heng's excitement and asked calmly: "What is the sales volume of "Watching the Moon" now?"
"Not counting those in Anguo County, there are now nearly 90,000 copies a month. Although the manpower has increased a lot recently, with the advertising fees, the profit is several thousand gold coins every month." Shi Heng's current focus is on the magazine.
Moreover, the historian is in charge of the magazine’s accounts, and he knows these data very well.
"It's pretty good. This time, several more counties have started selling "Guan Yue". I believe that sales of 100,000 copies will be just around the corner. How does the magazine's income compare with your silk business?" Ding Kui said calmly.
It is really inconsistent with his age, and this has been gradually accepted by the world. There are many examples of young adults in the history of the Shenyuan world.
"Based on the current sales forecast, I can get a profit of about 20,000 gold coins from the magazine this year. Compared with the silk business that the historian has been doing for generations, it is almost the same." This was something Shi Heng would not have thought of two years ago.
Something to dare to think about.
"So the scale of your business has almost doubled, which means you are worthy of the ancestors of the historians." Ding Kui paused and saw the doubtful look on Shi Heng's face, "I heard the old man said that food is needed.
Eat one mouthful at a time, earn one cent at a time, one coin at a time.
"Guan Yue" is an entertainment magazine in my opinion. It can sell 100,000 copies in Pingzhong County and surrounding counties, which is already a very good result. It is not appropriate to expand at this time, but to expand
To improve quality, train our reporters and editors to be more professional.
I know you may not be willing to give in, but have you ever thought about it. When "Guan Yue" was not very profitable, no one paid attention to it, and few people thought about it. Once the scale of "Guan Yue" expanded, the profits would be huge.
If it attracts the attention of some people, more people will be interested in it, and it will become more powerful.
You are just an ordinary businessman, and I am just the heir of a marquis. By the way, at most I can add a right-guard of the Internal Security Bureau. There are many people in this Shaodian Kingdom that we cannot afford to offend. These are the things we cannot afford to offend.
If someone interferes with "Moon Viewing", what should we do? Should we fight against them or give up the magazine?"
When Ding Kui said this, the excitement on Shi Heng's face disappeared, followed by an unprecedented dignity.
"In this three-acre area of Pingzhong County, my grandfather's face is certainly useful. No matter how much money "Guan Yue" makes, no one dares to take advantage of it; when it comes to Zhenna City, the situation is very different. The ten Dukes
In addition to An Guogong, there are four other families. Master Zhou Mu himself is a county prince.
We can make trouble in our own place, but when it comes to other people's territory, things are beyond our control. People can find a lot of excuses at any time. What can we do if they make things difficult for us?
So, it’s okay for you to go to Zhennancheng to have a look, but I advise you to be calm and don’t be blinded by profits. That’s about it. If you want to get more, you have to move up a level first. Only you are strong.
When you have enough strength to protect the corresponding interests, then consider doing something big." Ding Kui continued.
"I understand! I'm really ashamed. Money has blinded my eyes and I have become blindly arrogant. Which merchant who can gain a foothold in the city does not have a profound background? The prince sees clearly and does not have the strength to become big.
Buy and sell, but make wedding clothes for others.
"Guan Yue" will face many problems when it becomes big. First, it has to be transported to various counties, and it has to pass through many checkpoints on the way. The heavy customs clearance fees greatly increase the cost; secondly, taxes and fees in various places cannot be unified, and the magazine is a new thing
, it is the lord who has the final say on how much tax to collect; furthermore, some places do not welcome our reporters and do not want us to report on the affairs of that place, which potentially creates the possibility of conflict.
I only saw the good points, not the difficulties, so I took it for granted." Before Ding Kui could say anything, Shi Heng summed up the difficulties that the magazine would face when developing.
