Dark Fairy

Chapter 409 Black market recovery
In Daomen Village, Bailang's courtyard has had many more visitors recently than it did more than half a year ago.

In addition to the uneasy rebels in Daomen Village who came to inquire about the relationship between him and Pan Yue, more people from the Daomen Village began to come frequently to report things.It also made Bailang's days of leisure for more than half a year become busy again.

"Zuodao, here are the current accounts between us and Funiu Mountain, as well as the list of items that Funiu Mountain wants us to help obtain. Please take a look."

Liu Xu placed a document in front of Bai Lang.

Liu Xu's spirit is much better than half a year ago.On the one hand, he has had a good rest in the past six months, and on the other hand, Bailang distributed some elixirs to several old people in the knife studio, all of which were refined by him.It is not a high-grade elixir, but it has the effect of eliminating hidden diseases and regulating the body's qi and blood for ordinary warriors.

Picking up the document, Bai Lang read it carefully, while Liu Xu highlighted the key points and made an introduction.

"Zu Dao, Funiu Mountain has promised to stand in front of us, but is unwilling to contribute. It is still difficult for the copper and iron mine to resume work. However, there is only one iron ore found around Daomen Village for the time being, and it is difficult to mine. It’s not small, we have to build the road first.”

"What do the Zhou and Hou families say?" Bai Lang continued to flip through the documents in his hand without raising his head, and asked at the same time.

"Both the Zhou family and the Hou family have gone to see it several times and have the same opinion. They agree with the quality of the iron ore, but the difficulty of mining needs to be reduced, otherwise it will not make much sense even if it is forced, and the quantity will not be able to increase at all. ."

"What about opening a road? How much will it cost?"

"The main labor cost is to open a wide mine tunnel down the mountain. Masters from the Zhou and Hou families went to see it and thought that it would take at least five to six hundred strong laborers for a year and a half to make it possible."

Bai Lang shook his head slightly and said: "This matter cannot be handled by the merchant's vision and ability. It would be a waste of time. You go to Yang Xiu to ask for someone. Many of the disciples in the inner hall have learned the five elements and earth attributes. Let them help with their magic skills, find a few more people, rotate the work, and add the strong laborers in the village after the farm break, we will try to build this road in the spring of next year."

It is indeed not easy to open mountains and build roads, but it is not difficult in Bailang's eyes.As long as you are willing to let go of your body as a Qigong practitioner, your magic methods are not only used for killing and fighting. They can also be used to change the lives and working styles of ordinary people.

When Liu Xu heard this, he quickly responded.He actually settled the matter with Yang Xiu in private, but Yang Xiu was reluctant, saying, "How can a dignified Qi practitioner do such a thing?"Now that he had the order to sit down, Liu Xu didn't believe that Yang Xiu dared to do it perfunctorily.

After Bailang finished speaking, he paused the movement of the reactionary document in his hand, raised his head, and continued: "As for the Funiu Mountain side, continue to talk to them, saying that as long as they are willing to help, we will find a way to get some labor. Come here, as long as the blast furnace on the dock is restored, they will receive [-]% of the contribution, which can be paid in kind or in gold pieces. And some more spiritual stones can be given to them.

In the future, we can make some concessions when doing business with Funiu Mountain.Their channel is our only option now.What should be given must be given.But the only thing that cannot be changed is that Funiu Mountain must be in front. "

After finishing speaking, Bai Lang tapped the document in his hand with his fingers and said: "In addition, all the business involving those rebel thieves in the accounts need to be rerouted. They cannot be paid directly by us. Funiu Mountain Peak must be in front." At this point Bai Lang waved his hand, interrupting Liu Xu who wanted to interrupt, and said: "I know you are worried that the black market business channels will be taken away by Funiu Mountain, and you will get rid of us when the time comes. But in business, you cannot just focus on the benefits. Especially Before the current situation is completely clear, we must keep our escape route open. We are different from Funiu Mountain.

And it’s not that easy for Funiu Mountain to take advantage of our black market business.They run away at any time, and their reputation is not reliable at all.Don't worry about those guys in the black market being fastidious, they are very good at calculating. "

I chatted with Liu Xu for half an hour.Nowadays, the knife shop has begun to reappear on the south bank of Changshui. It is also centered on Yongchuan City and radiates to the surrounding areas. It is still following the path of the previous black market.It's just that it used to be hidden below official status, but now it's just using the Funiu Mountain group of overseas bandits as a cover. "The last thing is the medicinal materials! We must do our best to get the order given to you. Let the people in Funiu Mountain find a way, or let the previous drug dealers find a way. This matter cannot be taken care of, and it must be treated as a top priority!"

"It's a sword! I will do my best!"

As soon as Liu Xu left, Zhou Dong, who had been waiting outside the yard for a long time, walked in again.

"Zhao Dao."

"Well, tell me, why are you coming to my place so frequently these days? Didn't you get approval to exchange seedlings from refugees and bandits from all over the place? Are you getting a response so soon?"

Zhou Dong bowed and said: "Zuidao, although the matter of exchanging seedlings from bandits and refugees from various places is now starting to take shape, the first batch of seedlings has not yet been implemented, and it will not be done until the end of this month at the earliest. I'm here." I have something else to report urgently to Zuodao."

"What's the matter?"

"Four days ago, two new faces came to Yongchuan City. Although their robes were ordinary, they had extraordinary aura. They should be Qi practitioners with high levels of cultivation. Not long after these two people entered the city, they grabbed one of our The street wanderer who stayed in the city pretending to wander around asked questions. In addition to asking about the current situation of Yongchuan City, he also specifically mentioned your name, Zu Dao."

"Ok?"

Bai Lang, who didn't pay much attention at first, was surprised when he heard Zhou Dong speak like this.Two Qi practitioners went to Yongchuan City to inquire about his whereabouts?Is this coming for him?Why?What are the identities of these two people?
"What else was found?"

"The two men later went to the dock at the old site of the industrial park and talked to people from Funiu Mountain, saying they wanted to make a deal. The items they brought out were Spirit-Building Pills and Blood-Producing Pills, and they wanted to exchange them for spiritual stones. During the break in the transaction He was also testing the people in Funiu Mountain, and mentioned Zuodao's name several times, intentionally or unintentionally.

The third master of Funiu Mountain was present at the time. He later recalled that one of the two people should have a cultivation level in the middle stage of the Xuan Vein Realm, while the other should have a covering aura. Although he did not know the geometry of his cultivation level, he should be higher than The former.They worry that the other party has bad intentions and will use force if the guarantee is not complete.So I want us to take action. "

"At the middle stage of the Mysterious Meridian Realm, a person who is suspected of hiding a higher level of cultivation and looking for my whereabouts cannot be a casual cultivator because he has no contact with me. Then, it is unlikely to be a soldier, because there is no need to hide him like this. Then it can only be the Imperial Sect Yun Sect." Bai Lang soon had a suspicion in his mind.

Zhou Dong lowered his head. He also had speculations in his mind, but he understood that this matter was the same as that of the Qigong practitioner named Li who Bai Lang had people following Huangmen Yunzong before. It was best for him not to ask more questions or get involved.

"Tell the people over at Funiu Mountain not to worry, I will make a trip myself."
