During the time when Chen Ying focused on improving the strength of her fourth brother Chen Xiong, Valley Manor was still operating well, and there was even no problem with the development speed.
As the owner of the valley, basically all the big and small things that happen here cannot escape his ears and eyes. It's just whether he wants to hear it or not.
This time, Li Ma, who followed, performed much better than the two maids Hua Hong and Liu Lu. Chen Ying simply made her the internal manager, specializing in handling the internal affairs of the Valley Manor and the farm.
Li Ma did have some insight and ability, and specially selected the parts of what happened in the valley that might arouse Chen Ying's interest.
When Chen Ying has free time, she can know about some things happening inside the valley at the first time, so that she can be well aware of it.
Among them, there is the record of Ling Feng, a young man with a hatchet...
This guy goes out to the mountains almost every other month.
Each time, he brought along a mutated ferocious bird and beast, and in a short period of time he became the top supplier of the Valley Manor.
The manor pharmaceutical workshop has a lot of needs, so we can't always count on the big buyers to proactively provide materials, right?
As the families of these buyers began to recruit pharmacists to make their own pills, we can clearly feel that their enthusiasm for buying medicine has declined.
Of course, every time the manor comes out with medicine, they will still buy it immediately, but they will not be as crazy as before and will only use it as a resource reserve for the family.
Because of this, the number of mutated ferocious birds and beasts provided by these guys dropped sharply.
Although a group composed of retired soldiers from the border army has gradually become the largest supplier of mutated ferocious birds and beasts.
But the manor has to compete with other buyers for the goods they supply, which adds to the cost of acquiring raw materials.
The development of the two markets not only provides convenience to the people and traders in the town, but also provides more channels for goods suppliers to sell goods.
In the past, the mutated ferocious birds and beasts that retired frontier soldiers shot were sold directly to manors, and the prices were very uniform, five times that of ordinary wild animals of the same kind.
But with competition, the price has skyrocketed, and now it has risen to between ten and fifteen times that of similar wild products.
As a result, more retired soldiers from the frontier army were attracted to join the hunting team, making the martial arts style in the valley town even more intense.
At the same time, it also brought higher costs to the manor pharmaceutical workshop.
According to Li Ma's intention, she wanted to suppress her, but was stopped by Chen Ying.
In other words, the pharmaceutical workshop in the manor is basically a business without capital.
Even a mutated mountain rat, carefully brewed by a pharmaceutical workshop, can produce about twenty bottles of pills, and the effect is quite good.
According to the price of one bottle of three hundred taels, twenty bottles would be more than six thousand taels.
However, the price of a mutated mountain rat is less than ten taels of silver, and the profit is so huge that it would be crazy to steal money.
Chen Ying also hopes that all the retired border army soldiers stationed in the valley towns will develop and attract more and stronger frontier army soldiers to join.
And the retired soldiers of the frontier army who have become prosperous, do they want to continue to improve their strength and continue to hunt the mutated ferocious birds and beasts in the snowy mountains?
There are all the supplies they need in the town!
When the town develops to a certain level, Chen Ying even plans to open up some third-rate internal martial arts training methods, as well as mid-level internal martial arts training methods, as well as advanced hard martial arts training methods, for public sale.
In this way, it makes up for the last shortcoming of these retired frontier soldiers who have rich experience in mountain and forest warfare and are very powerful.
As for the trouble it might cause, Chen Ying didn't care at all.
It can be said that the two markets in the valley town are not completely fair and just, but at least they are much more orderly and safe than similar markets in the cities outside.
As time went by, its reputation spread, and it even attracted many merchants and people from nearby towns to come and shop.
Slowly, the market in the valley town developed into a medicinal materials distribution center with a radius of hundreds of miles, and the scale of the market continued to expand!
Although the management fee charged by the manor is not high, it can be regarded as a steady stream of money.
Obviously, the young hatchet man Ling Feng was very satisfied with the market in the valley town and came to exchange it every other month.
At first, he only exchanged various commodities and daily necessities without any money.
Later, he discovered that if they were all exchanged for commodities, he would not be able to bring them back to the hinterland of the Snowy Mountains alone, so in the end he could only exchange them for money.
Anyway, as long as you have money on hand, it is easy to purchase enough daily necessities and some ordinary commodities.
After coming here two or three times, he gradually gained trust in the valley town market and did not hide his whereabouts too much.
Of course, the people in the town were simple and honest, so no one would follow him and investigate. They would just express their admiration for Ling Feng's luck and skill.
Isn't it...
The mutated ferocious birds and beasts in the hinterland of the Snowy Mountains are not easy to deal with. If you are unlucky or your skills are not strong enough, they will come to you and die.
Every time Ling Feng brings prey, they are all very powerful beings.
Whether it is a mutated adult wild boar, a mutated adult leopard, or a mutated venomous snake, their strength is at least at the level of late Anjin. With their own strength and special abilities, their combat power is generally above that of Huajin.
Without strong enough skills and the speed of running through the mountains and forests, it would be a dream to achieve big results!
In addition to selling prey and purchasing enough daily necessities, this guy obviously likes the fierce martial arts in the valley town.
Every time he goes down the mountain and enters a small town, there will be a familiar valley warrior who invites him to join the nearest competition venue to show off his skills.
As they gradually became familiar with each other, the warriors in the valley also knew that his strength was extraordinary. Instead of playing tricks one by one, several warriors attacked together, putting a lot of pressure on Lingfeng.
Regardless of whether they are Zhenqi warriors, internal boxing warriors, or pure hard martial arts warriors, they all have their own advantages and methods. Once several people join forces with a tacit understanding, their strength is still quite strong.
In addition to having similar temperaments, after all, the majority of the warriors in the valley are retired soldiers from the frontier army, and they have a lot in common with Ling Feng.
In short, from the summary of information left by Li Ma, it can be clearly seen that the hatchet boy Ling Feng has a favorable impression of the small town in the valley.
What surprised him the most was that his fourth brother, Chen Xiong, actually got along well with this guy.
I don’t know if it was a friendship, but every time Ling Feng went down the mountain to go to the valley town, Chen Xiong would rush there immediately and drag the person to the competition venue to have a fight first, like a martial arts lunatic.
From the information collected by Li Ma, it can be seen that Chen Xiong was able to use more tricks in Ling Feng's hands during the competition.
It can be clearly seen that this guy's strength has improved rapidly.
Obviously, the effect of spending so much energy on helping him connect the two extraordinary meridians and eight meridians is quite obvious.
It took me a while to finish the official duties accumulated over the past few days.
After putting down her pen and breathing a sigh of relief, Chen Ying stood up and slowly walked out of the stone building. She took the two guards directly out of the manor. She was in a good mood and dared to go to the noisy and lively town.
The acquaintances I met along the way took the initiative to say hello, calling each other "Third Young Master" and "Manager", they were quite cordial and polite.
Chen Ying didn't take it seriously. After arriving in the town, he randomly grabbed a patrol guard who had just passed by and found out that Chen Xiong was playing in a competition venue somewhere.
I don’t know where that kid got so much energy?
Every time you go to the competition venue, you're either as tired as a dog or you're sweating profusely, so embarrassed, right?
That is to say, rules have been formed in the competition venue, and at the same time, some strong players are also worried about Chen Ying's existence, otherwise this kid Chen Xiong would have been beaten to the bed.
So what if the six extraordinary meridians and eight meridians are connected?
Chen Xiong has just made a breakthrough. While he is adapting to the new strength, his control over his body has been seriously weakened, and he may not be able to show off his power in the competition arena.
Not to mention the descendants of the Zhao family, there is a group of retired soldiers from the border army who have rapidly improved in strength under the guidance of Chen Ying. If two or three people join forces, they can make Chen Xiong miserable.
What he didn't expect was that he would meet the smiling young man Ling Feng here!
Seeing Chen Ying coming, Ling Feng just nodded from a distance and had no intention of coming closer.
Tsk…
This kid's vigilance is quite high.
At this moment, a loud rumbling sound erupted in the competition arena. Chen Xiong knocked back the two opponents with his Thunder Blade and jumped up to Chen Ying.
"Third brother, you are here!"
"How's it going? Have you adapted to the sudden increase in power now?"
Chen Ying smiled and glanced at the boy. His soul power was very keen to detect something, and an inexplicable smile appeared on his face.
"It's okay!"
Chen Xiong touched his nose, rolled his eyes and said immediately: "Ling Feng happens to be here too. Third brother, why don't you make a few gestures with him so that I can see what third brother is capable of!"
As soon as this statement came out, there was a burst of agreement from the warriors on the sidelines of the competition.
Although they knew that the owner of the village, Chen Ying, was very powerful, they had no idea how powerful he was.
Now, it is a good opportunity to observe...
Needless to say, Ling Feng's martial arts skills were a bit too strong. Although he had only appeared a few times in the valley town, he had already become a star among the town's martial arts group thanks to his powerful martial arts skills.
If the owner of the village competes with Ling Feng, it will be interesting...
Chen Ying smiled slightly, turned to look at Ling Feng opposite, and asked directly: "Brother Ling, what do you think?"
"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders. I just happen to be able to learn from the village owner's clever tricks!"
Ling Feng's eyes flashed with fighting spirit. Without saying a word, he jumped directly into the competition area that had been cleared by himself. Unexpectedly, he had a hatchet in his hand.
At this moment, the sound of horse hoofbeats sounded at the exit of the valley. Chen Wuhui and General Lei galloped into the town, and at a glance they saw Ling Feng standing proudly in the competition venue.
Hatchet youth!
General Lei's eyes flashed, and he suddenly shouted: "I'll do it!"
As he spoke, the tall and majestic body suddenly rose into the sky, like a wild goose flying across the sky or an eagle flying across the sky. In an instant, it covered a distance of almost twenty feet, and a pair of iron fists suddenly struck down like thunder from the sky...
