I'm a scumbag

Chapter 243 Passing on the Holy Land【6000 Subscription】

Knowing the value of the crystal, Ning Chen quickly thanked Wu Zhao and put the crystal into the life stone.

After accepting the things, Wu Zhao did not leave Ning Chen and Bai Yaoyao behind.

Coming out of the imperial study and returning to his Maslais, Ning Chen took out the crystal from the life stone.

Looking at the crystal without any impurities, Ning Chen asked Bai Yaoyao: "Senior sister, is this box of crystals enough for me to step into the mountain and river realm?"

This box of crystals doesn't really look like much.

When he was in the imperial study, Ning Chen had such questions, but he just held back and didn't ask.

"Enough." Bai Yaoyao said.

"Senior Sister, does this crystal have such a high success rate?" Bai Yaoyao said with such certainty that Ning Chen became curious.

Daishan Fuling, that was an unexpected situation.

And the endowment of the two mountains in the back is also because of the care of the mountain spirit of Daishan.

So the success rate is 100%.

But with just such a box of crystals, he can get 100% of the two rivers aura, which is a bit exaggerated.

"Using crystal empowerment, the probability of success is about [-]%. Coupled with your talent, there is almost no possibility of failure."

Ning Chen nodded in agreement and said: "Senior sister, if you want to talk about talent, I won't refute it with you. There is absolutely nothing about our talent."

Bai Yaoyao glanced at Ning Chen, and didn't speak directly.

Ning Chen was not embarrassed, shook the crystal in his hand, and asked Bai Yaoyao: "Senior sister, if the success rate of crystal empowerment is so high, wouldn't it be very easy for the human race ten thousand years ago to practice."

Bai Yaoyao nodded: "That's true, so the source was destroyed."

There is nothing wrong with this logic.

Ning Chen complained in his heart, and then continued to ask Bai Yaoyao: "Who knocked him down?"

Bai Yaoyao, who was looking out the car window, heard Ning Chen's words, turned to Ning Chen and said, "We call them demons, and they think they are gods."

Regarding this history of gods and demons, Ning Chen has only heard of legends.

Ning Chen really didn't understand the specifics.

After all, it is too far away from now, more than 1 years.

Ning Chen is not archaeological about the things that belonged to the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors.

Ning Chen even had reservations about this period of history.

"Senior sister, are there really gods and demons in this world?" Ning Chen also glanced out the car window, and then asked Bai Yaoyao leisurely.

Bai Yaoyao shook her head: "I don't know either. But the devilish energy on the other side of the Great Wall of Righteousness has always existed."

"Is the Great Wall of Righteousness used to block the evil energy?" It was the first time that Ning Chen really knew the function of the Great Wall of Righteousness.

Ning Chen had only heard of the Great Wall of Righteousness, but Ning Chen knew nothing about its function or its location.

Bai Yaoyao nodded: "The Great Wall of Righteous Qi painted by Confucian sages is used to block the evil energy."

Ning Chen looked a little nervous and asked: "Then senior sister, you and Marquis Dingguo are guarding the Great Wall of Righteous Qi just to prevent the evil energy from crossing the Great Wall of Righteous Qi?"

"This is just one of them. We are also responsible for destroying the demonized creatures."

Ning Chen didn't know that Bai Yaoyao's main role in the Great Wall of Righteousness was this.

After a moment of silence, Ning Chen asked Bai Yaoyao: "Senior sister, is the silkworm clothes useful to monsters that day?"

Ning Chen originally thought that Bai Yaoyao was only dealing with ordinary creatures, but he didn't expect that there were monsters.

Bai Yaoyao raised her forehead: "It's useful. The silkworm is special, and with the iron essence from overseas, it's enough to withstand most of the attacks."

Hearing what Bai Yaoyao said, Ning Chen was relieved.

Seeing that Bai Yaoyao wasn't too interested in talking about the Great Wall of Righteousness, Ning Chen changed the subject and asked, "Senior Sister, you said I would choose the east or the north."

"You don't plan to go to Jingzhou?"

Bai Yaoyao knew the reason why Ning Chen didn't want to go to the west, but Bai Yaoyao didn't know why he didn't want to go to Jingzhou.

Because in Bai Yaoyao's opinion, going to Jingzhou has the highest safety factor.

Of course, Ning Chen couldn't tell the truth to Bai Yaoyao, because the girls in Jingzhou didn't like handsome people like him.

So Ning Chen could only temporarily make up a reason: "Senior sister, Prince Jing, you also understand.

Prince Jing is too upright and serious, I am indeed safe and sound when I arrive in Jingzhou.

But this will have some obstacles and restrictions on the development of my Baijiadao.

I can't just cut off my limbs for safety's sake. "

Bai Yaoyao didn't doubt that he was there, she nodded and said: "If it's because of this consideration, Jingzhou is indeed not a good choice."

After finishing speaking, Bai Yaoyao continued: "As for the east and north, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

The east is close to the sea, which is relatively remote.

Although there are occasional Kraken attacks, the overall scale is still controllable.

However, its shortcomings are also very obvious.

Once you are surrounded to the east, there is only one way to go to sea.

Sea monsters in the near sea are relatively safe, but sea monsters in the far sea are very dangerous.

In the case of the northern border, you just need to face the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom directly.

In addition, Zhu's family is also in the four northern states, which can be regarded as a trouble.

But the benefits are equally obvious. In the four northern states, Wu Ang can assist you, and the Tiger's Might Army can call for you. "

Bai Yaoyao didn't directly help Ning Chen choose, but just helped Ning Chen analyze the pros and cons of the two directions for Ning Chen.

After listening to Bai Yaoyao's analysis, Ning Chen calculated silently, and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister, I almost know it."

Bai Yaoyao didn't say anything else, and the two returned to the mansion just like that.

After Ning Chen and Bai Yaoyao returned to the mansion, Ning Chen saw that Hui Jing was also at home.

Seeing Huijing's satisfied face, Ning Chen knew that today was a day for Xiaodouding to be satisfied.

"I spent 1 taels today, isn't it too much?" Hui Jing was still a little embarrassed when she saw Ning Chen come back.

"It's not bad, barely meet the standard." Ning Chen said.

After talking to Hui Jing, Ning Chen summoned all the servants in the family, intending to tell them that he will run away next, no, he will travel far.

After talking about his long-distance travel, Ning Chen continued: "The matter is this matter, and you can choose for yourself.

If you choose to go with me, the monthly reward will be doubled when you get there.

If you don't leave, you don't have to worry about having no income.

Those who stay can continue to work in the mansion in Beijing, and I will arrange for someone to come over every month to give you a monthly gift and settle the maintenance costs of the mansion. "

"Where the adults are going, the four of us will go there." The four little girls in spring, summer, autumn and winter expressed their opinions immediately.

Zheng Da also said to Ning Chen honestly: "I am the lord's nursing home, where is the lord's home, so naturally my nursing home will be located?"

Ning Chen glanced at it, and the few older people who did not express their views said: "You don't have to worry about it, I still have to come back to Jingzhong, so you just stay in Jingzhong and help me watch."

"Thank you sir." Several people thanked in unison.

For Ning Chen, this is just a trivial matter.

For the really important matter, Ning Chen has to wait to discuss it with Liu Zhongzhi.

After solving the family matter, Ning Chen took Bai Yaoyao and went to find Liu Zhongzhi together.

Why pull Bai Yaoyao, because Ning Chen is afraid of death.

When he arrived at Baijia Academy, Ning Chen went directly to Liu Zhongzhi, explained his purpose of coming, and listened to Liu Zhongzhi's opinion by the way, to see if Liu Zhongzhi thought it would be better for him to choose there.

Liu Zhongzhi never thought that the current situation would be so dangerous, although Ning Chen had asked Liu Zhongzhi to help him see if there was a suitable place for him to pass on the edict.

But Liu Zhongzhi feels that Baijia Academy is still a little weaker now.

There is no rush to choose such a place.

So now let Liu Zhongzhi choose a place for a while, it really makes Liu Zhongzhi a little embarrassed.

Ning Chen didn't rush, it took about a cup of tea.

Liu Zhongzhi raised his head and said: "If it is for the development of Baijia College, I recommend the four northern states.

The four states in the northern border are connected to the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom, although there have been constant frictions year after year.

But it is also such a place that will be more conducive to the development of Baijia Academy.

The purpose of setting up the Hundred Schools Academy is still for the human race.

Only by building the reputation and prestige of Baijia Academy in the northern border, can more people recognize Baijia Academy. "

Ning Chen agrees with Liu Zhongzhi's point of view.

In this world, there is no reputation and prestige, not by typing.

Ning Chen nodded and said: "Since the senior brother also thinks that the four northern states are suitable, then we can choose the four northern states. But where to choose, does this senior have any better suggestions?"

There must be no problem with Bai Yaoyao in the general direction, but it fell into a specific problem.

Obviously Liu Zhongzhi will be better at it.

Bai Yaoyao has always been on the side of the Great Wall of Righteousness, and has never been to the Thirteen States.

Bai Yaoyao understood the general situation of the Thirteen States.

But when it comes to specific places, Liu Zhongzhi has to know better.

Liu Zhongzhi thought about it carefully, and just about to open his mouth, he closed it again.

"Senior brother has something to say, but it's okay to say, there is no need to have any taboos between us brothers and sisters?" Ning Chen said in relief to Liu Zhongzhi.

Liu Zhongzhi listened to Ning Chen's words, and said truthfully: "Actually, I did think of a place just now. I was just worried that you, the head of the hospital, would be paranoid."

"tell me the story."

Since Ning Chen insisted, Liu Zhongzhi could only tell the truth: "Director, you know that I used to be a county magistrate. The county where I was the county magistrate is in Luanzhou, one of the four states in the north."

Ning Chen nodded, expressing that he knew about this matter.

When they met for the first time, Liu Zhongzhi told himself a story about himself.

"So senior brother, do you think that the county where you worked that day is very suitable?"

Liu Zhongzhi nodded, and immediately explained: "The reason why I recommend that place has no other meaning, I just simply think that that place is very suitable."

Ning Chen comforted Liu Zhongzhi and said, "Brother, can I still trust your character? Since you think it suits you, why don't you tell me how it fits?"

Liu Zhongzhi thought of something, got up and said to Ning Chen: "Head of the hospital, wait a moment, I'll go get the map."

Ning Chen nodded, and Liu Zhongzhi went to find Yutu.

Soon Liu Zhongzhi came back with a map.

These maps were drawn by the imperial court, and the markings on them are relatively detailed.

At least down to the village.

There are no roads in the village.

What's more, lanes are often changed in the village, so it is useless to mark it too clearly.

Liu Zhong pointed straight at the map of the four states in the north, a county seat sunken inward, and said: "This is the Qingshan County where I worked.

Although it was returned to Luanzhou, in fact, its location happened to be an inwardly concave intersection of the three northern states.

Because of its special location, it is actually a place of no concern.

So the folk customs here will be more sturdy, and banditry is even more common.

And there is another special place here, that is, it is directly bordered by the Wan Yao Kingdom.

But because this is a place sunken inward, the Wan Yao Kingdom did not dare to attack here easily.

Because once an attack is launched, they are very likely to be surrounded by the human army.

So here is actually a place that looks dangerous, but is very safe. "

While looking at the map, Ning Chen listened to Liu Zhongzhi's introduction.

Can't help nodding frequently.

The location of Qingshan County is indeed special enough.

It seems to belong to the front line of contact with the monster race, but in fact because of the geographical environment, it is very safe.

It is indeed a very good choice to choose this location to pass on your own Holy Land.

If Wuyu and Wuyan hadn't been withdrawn from the northern border before.

Ning Chen may still need to worry about the safety of his two flanks.

Need to be on guard, the two of them will not come to the rescue at a critical time.

Now that Wu Yu and Wu Yan have been withdrawn, Ning Chen doesn't need to worry about the safety of his two wings.

As for the Zhu family in Luanzhou, there is nothing to worry about.

There is not only one Zhu family in Luanzhou.

Luanzhou is not the Zhu family's final say.

Furthermore, there is not only one Luanzhou in the four northern states.

Behind Luanzhou, there is Zhuzhou where Wu Ang is located.

And this time, with Wu Yu and Wu Yan being transferred away, Wu Ang's right to speak in the four northern states will inevitably be greatly increased.

So Ning Chen of the Zhu family doesn't need to worry.

"This place is very good, I will choose this place, thank you brother for your help." Ning Chen observed carefully for a while, then stood up and thanked Liu Zhongzhi.

Liu Zhongzhi hurriedly avoided, saying: "I'm just doing my best."

After a pause, Liu Zhong said straightly: "If the head of the hospital decides to go here, I may help the head of the hospital to explore the way first. After all, I have worked there before, so I am quite familiar with it."

Ning Chen shook his head and said, "I don't need to bother senior brother about this. I'll just go by myself. Senior brother should stay in Fengjing and take care of Fengjing."

After a pause, Ning Chen said: "I'm going to the four states in the north, and I will take Senior Zhao away.

And now in the academy, if anyone is willing to go with me, the senior brother can ask.

Count up the list and choose five or six available ones.

The rest stayed in Fengjing to assist the senior brother. "

"Yes." Liu Zhongzhi clapped his hands and agreed.

After the location is selected, Ning Chen should make a good plan next, how to manage the place.

Money is definitely needed.

Ning Chen believes that the imperial court will give him a certain reward.

It's just that the number of these rewards may be very limited.

Most of the rest may still have to be solved by yourself.

Fortunately, Ning Chen is not short of money now.

Whether it's Wan Hong's side, or the seven merchants that Ning Chen invested in before.

These are Ning Chen's cash cows.

Apart from other things, Ning Chen believes that the income from perfume and glass will definitely exceed his expectations by a large margin.

After leaving Baijia Academy, Ning Chen went directly to Wan Hong's side.

Hearing that Ning Chen was leaving, Wan Hongna naturally wanted to go with him.

"You'd better stay in Fengjing to stabilize your business." Ning Chen persuaded Wan Hong.

But Wan Hong said: "Master Ning, I really want to go to the northern border with you.

Now the wine business, I don't need to worry about it at all, it's on the right track.

I also really want to make a little more and go beyond my past career. "

After listening to Wan Hong's words, Ning Chen joked, "Boss Wan has a lot of money and doesn't know how to spend it."

"It's not all dependent on the adults, so I can be where I am today."

Complimenting Ning Chen, Wan Hong changed the subject and said to Ning Chen: "Master Ning has opened up the way of business, I actually still have some ideas. And now I can feel the existence of the way of business."

When Wan Hong said that, Ning Chen could understand Wan Hong's thoughts.

Ning Chen used to make money to make money, but now to make money is to practice.

When you can live forever, who doesn't have any ideas.

Ning Chen thought for a while, and said, "I do need a big housekeeper there, but you don't have to go there right away. I will notify you to go there after I settle down there."

When Wan Hong heard that Ning Chen would let him go, he couldn't help but thank him a series of times.

In a place like Fengjing, there are too many businessmen.

Those resources would require everyone to scramble to grab them, but changing to a new place, especially that kind of barren place, would definitely make business much easier.

Wanhong's current pursuit has changed from money to the holy way.

For Wanhong, money is no longer an essential pursuit.

"How much cash do we have on hand?" Ning Chen asked Wan Hong.

The accounts are in Wan Hong's heart, so Wan Hong didn't need to check the accounts at all, and just opened his mouth: "Throw out the necessary expenses, we have 4501 million taels of cash that we can use now."

Ning Chen thought that this number would be very large, but he did not expect it to be so large.

"So much, it's more than the annual tax revenue of the Wu Dynasty." This figure really surprised Ning Chen.

Wan Hong said: "Master Ning, there is a problem with the taxation of our Wu Dynasty.

We can barely collect the taxes of the thirteen states like the seven states.

Then these seven states also need to subsidize the military expenditures of Jingzhou and the four northern states.

At the same time, the two commercial towns also need imperial subsidies.

If all these subsidies are counted, the tax revenue of our Wu Dynasty is still very considerable. "

With Wan Hong's calculations, Ning Chen can understand why Wu Dynasty's taxes are so pitiful.

And Wan Hong also missed this, the Red Flame Army of Marquis Dingguo.

This Red Flame Army completely depends on the subsidy of the imperial court, this is a huge gold-swallowing beast.

At the same time, there are also the necessary expenses for practicing Taoism every year before Emperor Shun.

If all these are counted, the annual tax revenue of the Wu Dynasty is also in the tens of millions.

At least this year, Ning Chen felt that the tax would be good.

Just as Wu Zhao was exempted from the agricultural tax, Ning Chen felt that this year's tax revenue would be very gratifying.

"You sort out all the cash, I'll pick it up in two days."

Wan Hong agreed, and asked at the same time: "My lord, how many bank notes and cash do I need?"

Ning Chen thought for a while and said, "Half, half."

Two million taels of silver is indeed a very large pile.

If silver carts are used to transport them, there must be at least dozens of them.

But Ning Chen has a life stone, and the space inside, let alone a few million taels, tens of millions of taels will not be a problem.

Even if the Life Stone can't fit in it, Ning Chen can still put the silver into the ghost domain.

"Okay. When I'm ready, I'll send someone to notify your lord." Wan Hong said.

After leaving Wan Hong, Ning Chen went to find his good brother—Wu Ang.

Then he prepared himself to go, and told Wu Ang about the Qingshan County.

"I've thought for a long time that we brothers can work together to do something big." Wu Ang expressed great welcome and happiness to Ning Chen's visit.

Ning Chen looked at the happy Wu Ang and said: "Where, where. I am here this time, mainly to worship the mountain. After all, I am going to develop your territory, brother, and then I have to ask you to help me. "

Wu Ang patted his chest and said, "Brother Ning, don't worry. After you go, the resources you need will be given priority by my side."

Ning Chen came to Wu Ang for this reason. After he went to Qingshan County, he would inevitably get some things.

It is obviously unrealistic to transport these things from Fengjing.

So I can only ask Wu Ang to help, not to mention that Wu Ang is doing this business in the four northern states.

"Then I will thank you brother in advance." Ning Chen said politely.

Wu Ang said with a straight face: "Brother, you look down on me now, we are brothers. We still needed this before, just send someone over to inform me about this matter."

"By the way, there is one more thing." Ning Chenqian said to Wu Ang after resigning.

"What's the matter, brother just talk about it." Wu Ang said broadly.

Ning Chen said: "I want to go with you brother when I go to the northern border."

Hearing this, Wu Ang's movements and expressions froze immediately.

Wu Ang is not stupid.

It's not like Wu Ang couldn't see Ning Chen's obvious running behavior.

It's not close at all from Fengjing to the north, it's such a long distance.

What will happen on the road is uncertain.

Acting together with Ning Chen at this time is equivalent to bringing countless top assassins together.

Anytime, anywhere, they will die with Ning Chen.

"Why is it inconvenient?" Ning Chen asked Wu Ang.

Wu Ang changed the subject and said immediately: "It's convenient, very convenient. It just so happens that I want to go back with my eldest brother and third brother."

Hearing Wu Ang's words, Ning Chen said with emotion: "The relationship between brothers is better, it's really enviable!"
