Chapter 19 Acquisition of Spiritual Stones
The Zhao family, after replacing the Xu family, has completely taken root in Muyang County.Not many people in Muyang County knew about the Zhao family. It was as if they had appeared out of thin air. After the Zhao family appeared in the eyes of everyone, many people began to check the situation of the Zhao family. In the end, they discovered that it turned out that as early as A few years ago, the Zhao family moved here from another state and county. It is said that they were hiding from some enemies, and no one could find out more about it.

After all, they are just some small families in Muyang County, and the sources of information are limited. Not to mention them, even the big families in Qing'an Prefecture can't find out about the affairs of other states and counties.

The Zhao family is in the rice and grain business and is very wealthy. This can be seen from the gifts they gave to important figures in Muyang County in place of the Xu family. Everyone is happy to see someone so knowledgeable. Anyway, according to regulations, people in Muyang County must There are four forces working together to develop the Lingshi mine at the same time. The Zhao family knows their interests, so they will naturally not cause trouble or obstruction, so as not to make enemies.

Of course, if any family is powerful, they can also secretly support another family to replace the Xu family. Unfortunately, there is no family with such a profound foundation in Muyang County. In Muyang County, it doesn't matter which family can have a second-rate expert in charge. The strength is pretty good.

These days, most spiritual stones are controlled by the powerful people in each state. When spiritual stones are scarce, being able to reach the second rate is considered to be an outstanding talent.

Jiangzhou benefits from its natural geographical advantages, convenient water and land, and extremely convenient transportation to and from various states. Therefore, it has created countless wealthy businessmen. It is precisely because of its wealth that many families can spend money to buy sky-high price spiritual stones to practice. Even so, a county town In China, it is considered good for a family to produce a second-rate person, let alone other states and counties.

Today, the Xu Family Courtyard has been changed into the Zhao Family Courtyard. Although the Xu family's whole family just died here inexplicably, the Zhao family did not find it scary. Except for a few rooms, nothing else has been changed. As a businessman, this big yard can't be sold at a high price now. It would be a pity to leave it vacant. I might as well move in myself.

As for the Xu family, the original owners of the compound, the deaths of their entire family were reported to the government under mysterious circumstances, but there were no clues and it became an unsolved case for the time being.

The person in charge of the Zhao family is called Zhao Ping, and everyone in the family calls him Third Master. As for why he is called Third Master, no one except the Zhao family knows.

Zhao Ping was sitting in the yard at this time, leaning on a chair, facing the sky, bathing in the sun, and the golden light shone down, dyeing his sackcloth golden.

There is a pot of fragrant tea next to it, and the fragrance of tea overflows in the courtyard.

"Third Master, the Qin family rejected us."

A servant dressed as a steward walked up to Zhao Ping and said.

Zhao Ping was not surprised and said with a smile: "As expected, this account is not worth it to the Qin family, and I wouldn't agree to it if it were me."

The steward was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Is the third master afraid that the Qin family will ask for high prices, so he lowered the price from the beginning?"

Zhao Ping said: "It's a part of it. If you send people to the Qin family again, the mining rights of the Lingshi mine will remain unchanged, and the Lingshi will be increased to 300 yuan."

From 100 yuan to 300 yuan, it has increased a lot.

The manager didn't say much and nodded, guessing that this was the amount that the Third Master had already decided on.

However, he did not add another sentence: "Third Master, people from the Qin family have been buying spirit stones everywhere these days. I checked and found that this has never happened before."

Zhao Ping's eyes were far-reaching: "This is better. It shows that they are short of spiritual stones, and we are more likely to succeed."

The steward said: "Then do you need to increase the amount of spiritual stones?"

Hearing this, Zhao Ping glanced at the steward with a cold look.When the steward saw it, he was so frightened that he immediately lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, Third Master, I'm too talkative. I just think about the family."

Zhao Ping glanced at him silently and said: "Dongjiang Wharf is very important to us. I have been lurking in Muyang County for so many years just because of this Dongjiang Wharf. It would be too much to scare others. I have allowed the Haihe Gang to develop and grow over the years. In the end, In this situation, I even made a special trip to the Qin family to purchase and exchange, and I have planned so much. Now that it is a critical moment, I don’t want to ruin the plan for a little spiritual stone."

The person in charge responded quickly: "The third master said yes, I will send someone right away."

……

In the Qin Mansion, after a night, Lin Huaian got up and went to the bookstore to look at Dianshan.

Although Dianshan is not very talented, he has always had expectations for cultivation. Now he also knows that his body has changed and he is practicing more diligently. Although it is only one night, his energy and spirit have obviously improved a lot. Change.

Lin Huaian did not disturb him too much. After leaving the book pavilion, he returned to the courtyard and immediately sat on the wall of the courtyard and gnawed some fruit.

Blowing in the wind, eating fruits, watching the scenery, and occasionally birds passing by in the sky, it is still quiet and peaceful.

In the middle, a servant came to spread the word, saying that the Zhao family had sent someone to negotiate again, and that the amount of spiritual stones had been increased.

He did not let Lin Huaian make a decision, but just told him that the Qin family still refused the Zhao family's exchange request. Although the spiritual stone was increased to 300 yuan, in the long run, the benefits brought by Dongjiang Wharf would be the greatest.

Lin Huaian didn't say anything when he learned about it. Although he was short of spiritual stones, he hadn't reached the point where he had to have spiritual stones recently. In these days, the direct descendants of the Qin family were working together, asking people everywhere to buy spiritual stones in Muyang County, including the surrounding areas. None of the county offices were spared, and those further away were those sent by Qin Hua to other states and counties.

The spirit stones purchased in Muyang County will be sent to Lin Huaian immediately. In the past, there was basically no big demand for spirit stones in Muyang County. There were few people purchasing them, except for Sha Zhentian, but the latter did not want to offend him. People in Muyang County are afraid of it, mainly because it was purchased quietly on the black market in Jiangzhou City.

The Qin family purchased a large amount of spirit stones. Other families in Muyang County also knew about it, but they didn't say anything. Now there are great masters in various places, and the situation is stable. Even if the Qin family has ambitions to acquire spirit stones for cultivation, they can't go out of their way to stir up trouble. , everything must be done according to the rules, so they are not afraid that the Qin family's strength will increase and they will attack them for no reason. They have become accustomed to the comfortable life for so many years.

They also guessed the reason why the Qin family collected the spirit stones, and they were afraid that they were preparing them for the uncle.

These families are still the same as before. There are no outstanding talents in the family. No one goes out of their way to acquire spiritual stones. More funds are still invested in the industry. For businessmen, profit comes first in everything, and money begets money. That's the truth.

Of course, they are not stupid. They know that they must have strength to maintain their interests. But now that the situation is stable, they do not need this so-called strength for the time being. They only need to maintain second-rate experts in the clan.

In this way, the Qin family's acquisition of spiritual stones in Muyang County did not arouse any fear or calculation, and everything was as calm as usual.

As the current key figure of the Qin family, Lin Huaian was on the wall, throwing a few fruits at the little beggar he had seen before.
