After saying goodbye to the county government, Song Wei insisted on seeing him off, but when he arrived outside the door, Song Wei suddenly asked: "I heard that Yang Cun is organizing a caravan in Xishan Village?"
Yang Junshan was stunned for a moment, a little confused, but considering that there are many cases of smuggling through secret channels in Mengyu County, avoiding the checkpoints set up by the Shaking Sky Sect at the border to collect high taxes, this is not common in Mengyu County or even the entire Yu County.
It can be said to be an open secret.
The secret passage in Quwu Mountain that Xishan Village originally took has long been blocked, so there is nothing to hide, so he said: "Exactly, but now that the trade road is blocked, I am afraid that in the future, I will only be able to go to the nearby Jinyu, Chenyu, etc."
The merchants in the counties, these counties and towns all belong to Yu County, but they can no longer make the same profits as those in Zhang County. My father is considering whether to temporarily disband the caravan for a while."
Song Wei smiled and said: "It's best not to disband. Maybe there will be other turning points."
Yang Junshan's eyes lit up and he said: "Is the border martial law going to end?"
Song Wei glanced at him and said: "I'm afraid the border martial law will not be ended in a short time. Even if the trade route is ended and the trade routes are reopened, do you think those smuggling secret passages will still be left for you?"
Yang Junshan smiled sheepishly and asked thoughtfully: "In what way might Master open up the border trade routes with Zhangjun and Yaojun?"
Seeing Song Wei smiling and saying nothing, an idea flashed in Yang Junshan's mind, and he suddenly remembered the scene in his previous life, and said: "Mutual trade? Border trade?"
Song Wei was slightly startled, and looked at Yang Junshan up and down with a look full of inquiry, and said in a deep voice: "Where did the junior brother hear the news?"
Yang Junshan blinked and could only continue to lie, saying: "I just suddenly thought of such a possibility. Why, does Master really mean this?"
Song Wei looked at Yang Junshan with suspicion still flashing in his eyes, but he still admitted Yang Junshan's guess and said: "Junior brother, I admire him for his keen thinking. It's exactly what he thought. Master plans to do it at the border."
Open a qiang market and allow the caravans from this county and Lingzhang County, and this county and Huyao County to trade with each other in the qianqian. When the time comes, a unified tax of 10% will be collected."
Yang Junshan's eyes lit up and he praised: "This will definitely attract the attention of all the caravans in the three counties. I am afraid that the scale of the mutual trade will be very large, and the income will also be very considerable. This will definitely become one of the master's goals in Shaking the Sky Sect.
Great political achievement.”
Song Wei looked at Yang Junshan in a funny way and said: "No matter how genius the idea is, didn't my junior brother also think of it before? How can I hear that my junior brother is praising himself?"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and Song Wei said: "What are your plans next, junior brother? Are you going to return to Xishan Village, or are you planning to stay in this county for two days?"
Yang Junshan suddenly thought of something and said: "Senior Brother's words like this remind me that there is really something that may trouble Senior Brother."
Song Wei knew that the restoration of the spiritual source land required a large amount of spiritual materials, but when he heard that there were still a few high-grade spiritual materials that had not been found, Song Wei also pondered slightly.
Yang Junshan said: "My father has also been raising supplies to repair the spiritual source recently. The middle and low-grade spiritual materials are okay, but the high-grade spiritual materials are precious in the first place, but there is no way out, even if he has some jade coins in his hand.
But I don’t know where to get the supplies.”
Song Wei smiled at this time and said: "This matter is not too difficult. In fact, there are ways in this county. I just don't know how lucky my junior brother is, whether he can come across what he needs, and even if he does
Well, if you don’t have enough financial resources, I’m afraid it won’t be possible.”
Yang Junshan said with great joy: "Senior brother, really there is a way? That's great!"
There are naturally places for merchants to buy and sell in the county, but these merchants and shops need to pay high taxes to the Shaking Sky Sect every year, and the more precious the artifacts, the higher the tax they need to pay, so in this county
There is an underground black market that can evade the official county government on the surface. It is usually called a dark market by monks who know about it.
Just like a secret passage used for smuggling, this secret market is also an open secret among the monks who are aware of it. There are many kinds of things sold in it, and even the inner disciples of Shaking Sky Sect like Song Wei are often there.
Buy what you need.
Yang Junshan naturally knew that there was a dark market in Mengyu County. The reason why he asked Song Wei was actually for the dark market, because if he wanted to enter the dark market, he needed to be introduced by someone with status. As Mengyu County
For Chen Zhenren to be the first disciple, Song Wei naturally has the qualifications.
Song Wei just handed him a token and told him the address and how to enter the dark market, but he himself did not go to the dark market with Yang Junshan because he had something to do.
In fact, Yang Junshan wanted this even more. He had no intention of asking Song Wei to accompany him into the dark market. In fact, what Yang Junshan needed was just a token of recommendation. In his previous life, Yang Junshan had already been in and out of the dark market several times.
, is very familiar with the dark market in Mengyu County, and does not need anyone to guide him at all. It makes him feel more free to act on his own.
Seeing Yang Junshan's back gradually disappearing into the crowd, Song Wei's face became more thoughtful. Originally saying that he had important matters to deal with urgently, he turned around and returned to the back hall of the county government office.
Chen Jizhen seemed to have expected that Song Wei would leave and come back. He opened his slightly closed eyes and asked casually: "He's gone?"
Song Wei smiled and said: "Junior brother asked for a secret market token from a disciple and has already gone to the west of the city. Xishan Village has just succeeded in merging the villages. Yang Cunzheng is very ambitious, and now I am afraid he is also a clever woman.
It's hard to make a meal without rice. Even though Xishan Village is rich, there is no way to find something useful."
Master Chen Jizhen said with a smile: "Originally I was optimistic that Yang Tiangang would stir up the muddy waters of Mengyu County, but now that I am a teacher, I am more optimistic about this child."
Song Wei smiled and said: "This is not simple. The younger brother was originally the registered disciple of the master. Since the master is optimistic about the future of the younger brother, he just put him under the door and taught me the inheritance of Shaotian Sect. I heard that Qing Qingzong
There is a disciple under Uncle Shu's sect who is about the same age as the younger junior brother, but his cultivation has reached the second level of the martial arts realm. He is actually one of the top rising stars of our Shaantian Sect. I think if the younger junior brother can be carefully cultivated by his master,
, his future achievements may not be any worse than those of Uncle Qingshu’s disciples.”
Master Chen Jizhen shook his head and said: "Haven't you seen that this registered disciple who is my master is actually not keen on joining the Shaking Sky Sect's Gate Wall?"
Song Wei was surprised and said: "How is this possible? Not to mention in Yu County, even in the entire Yuzhou, who has heard of my reputation as a Shaotian Sect, who is willing to refuse the opportunity to join our sect?"
Chen Jizhen shook his head and said nothing, his expression changed slightly, and after a long time he said: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to enter the gate of Shaking Tianzong, it can be regarded as a way out for us, master and disciple, outside of Shaking Tianzong!"
"The way out?" Song Wei looked even more surprised and couldn't help but ask: "Master, why did you say this? Our Shaotian Sect has only suffered a slight setback now, but looking at the entire Yuzhou cultivation world today, what kind of sects are there?
Dare to challenge the majesty of my Shatian Sect head-on?"
Song Wei smacked his lips, as if he still had some unfinished thoughts, and said: "Besides, my junior brother has just advanced to the martial arts realm. Even the Xishan Village behind him is nothing to us. Even if he is a teacher,
If you really plan ahead, how can the Yang family's small shoulders be able to carry a mountain like Master?"
Chen Jizhen's eyes were blurred. He didn't know whether he was talking to himself or explaining to Song Wei. He only heard muttering: "You don't understand. This world of cultivation is very big. Only when your cultivation level is higher, can you stand
The higher you stand, the more you understand how insignificant you are, and what does a Yuzhou mean?"
Song Wei was a little surprised and said: "Master, you mean that the danger may come from outside Yuzhou?"
Chen Jizhen ignored Song Wei's inquiry and said instead: "This junior brother of yours only received the inheritance of the body training technique from my master. Now I can see that his physical body is far superior to that of monks of the same level."
, it has been eight years since you advanced to the fifth level of the martial arts realm, how long does it take to advance to the real person realm?"
Song Wei didn't understand why the teacher asked about his cultivation level, but he still thought about it and said: "It will take about three to five years for the disciples to truly reach the bottleneck of the peak of the martial arts realm."
Chen Jizhen shook his head and said: "With your current potential, even if you really touch the barrier of the real person realm, no one can say when you will be able to take the last step. It may be that the moment you touch the barrier,
It is more likely that it will take more years of accumulation and wait for the day when you can gain more and more. Therefore, I still advise you to focus more on physical training, which may help you break through the bottleneck in the future."
Song Wei smiled and said: "The disciple knows the master's good intentions, but practicing physical training will definitely involve a lot of time and energy for the disciple. Now the disciple still wants to push the cultivation level to the extreme of the warrior realm. If it is serious in a few years,
If you are unable to break through the bottleneck of the real person realm, then it will not be too late for the disciple to turn to hard training in physical training."
Master Chen Jizhen shook his head and sighed: "You senior brothers are not particularly new to the body-forging technique. It seems that my master's attainments in the body-forging technique can only be passed down to your junior brothers."
When he left the county government office, the sky was already getting dark. It was the opening season of the dark market. Yang Junshan came to an inn in the west of the city. A young man came out with a smile on his face and said, "Sir, would you like to stay in a hotel or have a meal?"
?”
Song Wei smiled and said, "Take me to see your shopkeeper."
The younger brother didn't seem surprised by this. The smile on his face did not diminish and he said: "Okay, please, please come with the younger one."
Behind the counter of the inn, the rich-looking shopkeeper smiled like a steamed bun, but the restrained aura in his body clearly told Yang Junshan that this was an authentic martial artist monk. He just listened to the shopkeeper's words:
"I wonder if there is anything I can do to help little brother?"
Yang Junshan flashed the token in his hand in front of the shopkeeper's eyes without leaving a trace, and said: "I heard that your inn has two signature dishes that are the best in Mengyu County. I wonder if I can take them with me to experience them."
The smile on the shopkeeper's face didn't change at all. He stretched his hand behind him and said, "Please."
