Thinking that this might be a way to make money, Lu Zhong called Xia He over and told him his idea.
"Master, this..." Xia He's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he immediately took away the vat of spiritual dew.
After cleaning up the alchemy room, Lu Zhong came to the front yard.
Cultivation requires relaxation and relaxation. He was not interested in seeking excitement outside. He thought it would be better to lie on the Taishi chair and sip tea quietly. By the way, he could also summarize his experience in purifying spiritual materials for the past half month.
As soon as I lay down, a maid came over with tea.
Either rub your legs or rub your shoulders, it's extremely comfortable.
Taking a sip of "Zhu Mei Jade", Lu Zhong sighed at his "corruption" and "degeneration". He still remembered that when he was in Qingliuxu, he had to wash and cook by himself. How could he not have clothes and food like now?
He who opens his mouth needs someone to serve him in everything.
"The more such corrupt days the better."
He is very satisfied with his current life.
“I still need to find some time to go out for a walk!”
Lu Zhong thought to himself, having entered the gray fog space, and began to look through his memories, looking at the purification process from a different perspective, to see if he could find any errors or omissions so that he could correct them in time.
It took him a while to exit.
This careful inspection really gave him a lot of gains. After digesting these experiences and insights, he can purify the spiritual dew of higher purity in the future.
It’s time for the lights to shine outside.
In his arms, there was also a warm and fragrant soft jade.
You don't need to look to know that it must be Li Hejun. The two concubines don't have the courage.
Lu Zhong fiddled with it a few times without hesitation, and the latter's body trembled like an electric shock.
"Old... Master, I have something to report." Li Hejun managed to hold down his dishonest hand and breathed heavily.
Lu Zhong withdrew his hand, performed a cleaning technique to clean it, and picked up a cup of tea on the table. Xia He made it according to his idea. After taking a sip, it tasted really good, and then he said slowly:
"What's the matter?"
"That's it..." When Li Hejun said this, his face became solemn, and his eyebrows almost connected. "The Chengde Chamber of Commerce sent a note the day before yesterday, explicitly requesting a 50% stake in Lintao Pavilion, otherwise the supply of goods will be cut off."
Lintao Pavilion focuses on formation talismans, but that doesn't mean it doesn't sell other things.
In order to attract more customers, it is necessary to enrich the shelves, and the Chengde Chamber of Commerce was Lu Zhong's previously selected partner. The goods they provide can meet the needs of Lintao Pavilion.
Hearing this, Lu Zhong frowned slightly.
Fighting outside, facing life and death, you have to face open swords and open guns, and running a shop to obtain spiritual resources, but you can't get anywhere easily. There are also cold arrows and hidden guns that need to be resisted.
Lintao Pavilion's business is booming right now, so it's no surprise that jackals are watching.
I just didn't expect that even though I was in the middle stage of foundation building, I would still encounter such malicious intentions.
I couldn't help but feel strange in my heart.
"What on earth is going on?" Lu Zhong remembered that the Chengde Chamber of Commerce valued goodwill very much, otherwise he would not have chosen it as a supplier in the first place. How could he suddenly break his skin and do such a thing to slander its reputation?
"It's an internal struggle for power within the chamber of commerce!" Li Hejun did some research and replied with certainty.
The Chengde Chamber of Commerce has a high status in the port city. Although it is not as good as those large chambers of commerce involved in the East China Sea route, it also controls many weapon refining and alchemy workshops and has its own basic raw material production areas. Therefore, among the small chambers of commerce,
It can also be said to be very powerful.
The problem lies with Zhang Hai, the president of the Chengde Chamber of Commerce.
Zhang Hai was a talented man who entered the Lu family, the former owner of the Chamber of Commerce, as his son-in-law. However, he succeeded in turning the Chengde Chamber of Commerce into his own. In order to run the Chamber of Commerce to a higher level, he was no longer satisfied with the profits from the supply of goods, so he did not hesitate to spend more money.
He formed a fleet with the intention of entering the more profitable East China Sea route and seeking to gain huge profits from sea trade.
Just like a storage bag, this item cannot be made by the southern barbarians. It involves the secret of space and must be imported from China.
Take a half-square storage bag as an example. According to classic records, the price in China was only ten spirit stones. But in Nanman, the price skyrocketed, rising to three digits.
Such as this, there are also a large number of spiritual objects such as spiritual contracts.
Going to the Middle-earth via the East China Sea is the main or the only way for Nanman monks to go to the Middle-earth.
Although the Southern Barbarians and the Middle Earth are connected on land, they are separated by the towering Hantian Plateau. Even in the ancient pioneering era of the human race, it was a hopeless chasm that was difficult to climb and full of dangers.
Even the ancient human race, who transformed into gods like clouds, could only choose to open a route to the East China Sea, and with the help of a large number of islands scattered like a chain of beads in the vast East China Sea, they were able to land in the barbaric land of the south far away from the Middle Earth.
After that, he overcame all obstacles and finally came to the present world of Southern Barbarian cultivation.
It is definitely not an easy task to open up the East China Sea route to obtain resources from China.
If a monk wants to go to Middle-earth, he can take a sea ship as long as he has spirit stones. The fleets of the Great Chamber of Commerce on the East China Sea route basically have such services. But if he wants to bring back goods from Middle-earth, he will have to contact the Great Chamber of Commerce.
interests, and therefore encountered rejection.
The big chamber of commerce controls the East China Sea route, so naturally it doesn't want anyone to take a share of the pie.
Not only is he unwilling, he will even take action to attack.
To get involved in the East China Sea trade, in addition to dealing with attacks by sea beasts along the way, you also have to face the malicious intent from the large chambers of commerce.
Those who come after will either form a powerful armed fleet to fight against the raids of the large merchant guild fleets, and use force to carve out their own share of the maritime trade cake.
Or find another way and try to open a new route.
Zhang Hai chose to open up a new route, and as a result, he and his ship perished in the cold water.
As soon as he left, the Chengde Chamber of Commerce was immediately in turmoil.
"Now three factions of the Chengde Chamber of Commerce are fighting for power. They are Zhang Miao, the son of Zhang Hai who is now the acting president of the Chamber of Commerce; Yu Feng'er, the former owner of the Chengde Chamber of Commerce and a Taoist couple of Zhang Hai; and Lin Fangyun and Xiang Lintao, the chief deacons of the Chamber of Commerce.
The person who sent the note was Lin Fangyun. It is said that this person was at a disadvantage in the struggle for power, so he began to use all means to gather strength and prepare for the last fight."
Li Hejun will tell you all the information he knows.
Lintao Pavilion suffered a disaster this time.
After Lu Zhong listened, he closed his eyes and thought.
The importance of Lintao Pavilion to him is self-evident, and he can earn at least 30,000 to 50,000 spiritual stones in net profit every year. He is currently learning alchemy, and just purchasing spiritual materials for training requires a large amount of spiritual stones.
Therefore, Lintao Pavilion cannot tolerate any mistakes.
After thinking about it, it would be more cost-effective to switch to another supplier.
Although the spiritual stones earned will be less, it is still better than being controlled by others.
At worst, it's just a matter of touching the old foundation.
At this time, the maid came to tell him that Zhang Miao came to visit.
"What is he here for? Is it necessary to win over me?" Lu Zhong was confused, but he still got up and prepared to go to the living room to meet the other party and understand the other party's intention.
Moving to the living room, I saw a young master in white clothes, who was in the early stages of foundation building.
It is Zhang Miao, acting president of the Chengde Chamber of Commerce.
