The general formula of "Innate Merit Sutra" has long been said, "Gong is merit, virtue is good deeds, sincerity is merit, and perfection is virtue." If you want to gain merit power, you must work hard and gain recognition. What do you do?
?Do good deeds and do practical things. Who will get approval? Get approval from believers and Taoism.
The reason why Zhao Ran wants to think about this problem is that his merit power has not increased at all in the past three months, and his daily cultivation still relies on the merit power bonus provided by the people of Junshan. Logically speaking, during this period, his merit power has not increased at all.
He often did some good deeds, such as donating some money when he saw the poor people in Xia Kingdom. Among the people he made friends with, he would also come forward to help anyone who was in trouble.
Another example is the establishment of the trading platform Jinbo Auction House. Zhao Ran knows that Cangjie created characters, Shen Nong tasted grass, Zhu Rong started fire, and Nuwa mended the sky. These are all great merits. This kind of merit is different from giving alms to the poor and relieving the people.
They are truly great merits that benefit people all over the world, because they improve people's living conditions. So Zhao Ran tried to establish Jinbo Auction House. Logically speaking, this also has the property of improving people's living conditions and should be part of the merits.
, but now, it has not brought him any merit.
After thinking about it, Zhao Ran could only attribute the reason to the concept of "believers". He guessed that maybe as a member of the Taoist sect, he must be recognized by the Taoist sect's believers in order to bring him a bonus of merit. He further
I guess, maybe all the things done in the past three months were offset by the words of "Amitabha" from the nobles and common people of Xia Kingdom.

The merits are attributed to the Buddha, so naturally they have nothing to do with him.
Every time he thought about this, he felt a little aggrieved, and he thought with some malicious intent. In this case, let's test it from the opposite angle and see if doing bad things will reduce merit?
The establishment of the price tag was the beginning of his malicious intentions. The hype of the "Shizhou Hump" was the first verification of it.
A story began to circulate in the market in Xingqing Prefecture. It was basically about the love between a prairie tribe prince and a girl from Shizhou, but it mixed with the concept of Shizhou hump meat. At the beginning, the people of Xingqing, especially
The dignitaries and businessmen just listened to the gossip and book reviews, but later they gradually discovered that the number of Shizhou hump meat in Xingqing territory began to decrease drastically.
Shizhou and Ganzhou are the main producing areas of camels in the Xia Kingdom, accounting for 70% of the camels in the Xia Kingdom. Shizhou mainly produces single-humped camels, while Ganzhou produces bimodal camels. The single-humped camels in Shizhou are meaty and chewy, and the double-humped camels in Ganzhou are
The meat of humpback is fat and fat, and the difference between the two is very easy to know once you taste it.
The shrewd businessmen were immediately keenly aware of the abnormality due to the decrease in Shizhou's hump meat. At the last auction of Jinbo Auction House at the end of September, the price of Shizhou's hump meat increased by 1.5% from the previous one. This situation is tantamount to a fire.
To add fuel to the fire, businessmen immediately went to Shizhou to purchase dromedary camels.
But after they arrived in Shizhou, they were told that this year's dromedary production dropped sharply, and the number they could buy was much lower than expected. When they rushed to buy a small number of dromedary camels back to Xingqing, they were shocked.
It was discovered that the price of camel hump meat in Shizhou had increased by another 30%, so these people immediately gave up the idea of shipping and asked Jin Bo
The price of the water tag in the auction house is eagerly awaited and is waiting to be sold.
The price of Shizhou camel hump meat has risen sharply on the market, and the prices of hump meat and vegetables in restaurants are also ridiculously high. Even the hump meat of Ganzhou Bactrian camel has also increased a lot. Especially Jinbohui Restaurant has added a new addition. A famous dish, Yuzhan Hump, tastes so good that the price of this dish alone has reached five taels of silver. It has become a talk among the upper class nobles of Xingqing Mansion.
By mid-October, the auction price of a Shizhou dromedary camel had reached as high as twenty taels of silver, a full five times increase. Not only Xingqing, Yinzhou, Xiazhou, Huaizhou, Dingzhou and other places also started selling Shizhou camel hump meat is very popular and can be eaten stewed, grilled, pickled, etc., and the price is also ridiculously high.
On October 23, the current ruler of the Xia Kingdom, Emperor Yong'an Li Qianshun, who was under 16 years old, tasted the jade-cup hump specially prepared in the palace by the chef of Jinbo Restaurant, and praised it as "the taste is fresh and mellow, and I am very happy."
Incredible, with today's words, the transaction price of Shizhou dromedary camels at Jinbo Auction House on October 26th immediately climbed to forty taels of silver. At this price, Jinbo Club quietly scanned the goods and purchased them in the early stage. More than 400 Shizhou dromedary camels were sold in small batches one after another, making a net profit of fifteen thousand taels!
In early November, the price of dromedary camels in Shizhou reached fifty taels. Zhao Ran notified Yeli Huaide to ship the goods, but reminded him seriously that the number of shipments must be strictly limited in small batches. Yeli Huaide passed Liang Xingxia's Through the operation, 800 camels were sold in five batches, netting a net profit of more than 30,000 taels. In one fell swoop, he earned the preparation expenses for establishing a cavalry command.
Throughout the process, Zhao Ran did not

He felt a slight decrease in his merit power, which once again verified his idea that merit power and believers are closely related. With this successful verification, Zhao Ran became more interested and began to plan the next step. He planned to Practice with the Xia Kingdom, transfer some things from later generations and implement them, transform this world during the implementation process, and find out a suitable path. When you return to the Ming Dynasty and start implementing it, you may be able to create a way to gain merit. New way!
At an auction in mid-November, the price of Shizhou dromedary camels began to fall, falling to forty-six taels. Yeli Huaide was very anxious and came to Zhao Ran immediately. So Zhao Ran and Gao Yanei, Liang Xingxia got together again and discussed with Ye Lihuaide how to deal with it.
"Dr. Cheng, the price of dromedary camels has dropped by nearly 10%. Has our trick been seen through? Do you think our Yeli Department will simply ship in large quantities, even if it drops by half, we will still make a profit? Now that others have exposed it, Did you earn more before?"
Zhao Ran consoled him: "It's normal to see some decline. Firstly, the market in Xingqing Prefecture is not big, and it is almost saturated at this high price; secondly, in the early stage, some merchants got camels at low prices, which are of course much higher than ours. , but even so, you have made a lot of money, this is called profit realization; when you are tired of hearing the three stories, your enthusiasm will always decline. But don’t worry, as long as you, Yeli Department, strictly limit the quantity of shipments, it will not fall. Where to go? It is better to do business for a longer period of time. If Noribu has such a high-priced product, of course the longer it can be sold, the better."
Yelihuaide breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Don't worry, our Yelibu already knows

After meeting with all the tribesmen, anyone who sells dromedary camels privately will be killed without mercy, and his wife and daughter will be sold into slavery."
Liang Xingxia also said on the side: "Don't worry, little Marquis, we can set a floor price. If the price falls below forty, we will use the money to buy it back, so that the price of the dromedary will be stable above forty taels."
Zhao Ran glanced at Liang Xingxia and said to himself that this guy has a very smart mind and he also knows about "price stabilization."
Gao Yanei suddenly said: "Have you heard about the Chengdong family? Now there is a story in Xingqing Mansion. It is said that a princess of a certain tribe was terminally ill. Some poor mountain people in the Kunlun Mountains collected snow lotus and offered it to the princess. The princess was cured.
He was terminally ill and became the Prince Consort with this skill."
Zhao Ran and Liang Xingxia looked at each other and laughed. Zhao Ran said: "I heard that, some smart people must have seen through our method of hyping Shizhou dromedary camels and want to learn from it. I'm tired of hearing the story just now.
Enthusiasm always fades, that's what I'm talking about. As soon as this story came out, it naturally diverted everyone's attention. This is also the reason why the price of dromedary camels fell."
Yeli Huaide frowned: "Is there such a thing? I have been focusing on forming a new army recently, but I haven't paid much attention to it. If this is the case... Dalang, have you found out clearly? Who is hyping Xuelian?
It must be dealt with severely."
Zhao Ran said: "That's not necessary. Hyping up snow lotus will affect the price of dromedary camels in the short term, but over time, not only will it not drag down dromedary camels, but it will push up the price of dromedary camels. Doing business requires more
Look at the general trend. If the general trend is good, everyone will make money." In front of Ye Li Huaide.

It's hard to tell, but Zhao Ran was actually reminding Gao Yanei that it's not a bad thing for someone to speculate on Snow Lotus. It can make Jinbo Auction House bigger, which is a good thing for the shareholders of Jinbo Association.
But Gao Yanei didn't seem to understand. He turned to Yeli Huaide and said, "I asked someone to inquire about it. This story was first spread from Yanhui Restaurant, and there is also a comment in the book today, 'Clear and moisturizing, hundreds of flowers.
The pulse is both good. But what I said today was not taught by the Queen Mother, but said by him himself."
After hearing this, Yeli Huaide nodded and sneered: "I see." He turned to Zhao Ran and said: "Dong Cheng, there is nothing to say this time. Do they want to fire Kunlun Snow Lotus? Just daydream! Kunlun Snow Lotus is the winner.
