Chapter 20 Arrangement

"Therefore, you must maintain this advantage, the brother is pampered and humiliated, and when you rush forward, you can safely hand over your back to him to guard."

After the three of them gathered around the teacher and listened carefully to Lei Ming's analysis of the pros and cons of what they had experienced, they all lowered their heads and pondered carefully about their performance in the whole thing, what they did not do well and what they needed to improve in the future, and what they could keep worthwhile.

After half a ring, when they came back to their senses, everyone's temperament changed, and Han Yu seemed to have grown up and was no longer so jumpy; When Han Luojiang raised his head, a brazen momentum arose; Han Linfeng became more calm, and his eyes shone with a hint of wisdom from time to time.

Lei Ming looked at the transformation of the three disciples and showed a pleased smile: "The New Year is almost coming again, you have just broken through, just relax a little, prepare well and prepare for a happy New Year this year." Combine work and rest, and don't break the strings too tightly. After the New Year, I will also arrange the affairs of the store, and then go to the geothermal spiritual pool to retreat and cultivate, and strive to reach the peak of the grandmaster realm as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, teacher, we know." After bidding farewell to their teachers, the three of them went home to prepare for the New Year.

Before you know it, the New Year will be in a few days, and the village will be as lively as the New Year, with red lanterns hanging in front of each house, and festive couplets written on both sides of the gate, and every house is full of laughter, and the convoy of the Eagle League merchant group has entered the village early.

"Uncle Lei, are your injuries all healed?" Hearing Lei Ming asking her to arrange personnel to be stationed in the store and to go to retreat and cultivate, Ying Xiaoxiao asked with a look of surprise with wide eyes: "It's just that after four years, when you were in the town, you have been recuperating for so many years, and various medicinal materials have been used a lot, but they have no effect, I didn't expect to heal the injury in a short time in this small mountain village, I really can't think of it." ”

"yes. I didn't expect to be so lucky here to get some high-grade healing potions. But I just thought that it would help me to heal my injuries here, but I didn't expect that I would be able to completely heal my injuries in such a short period of time, and my cultivation would be improved. It's a blessed place for me. Hehehe......" Lei Ming couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"By the way, I didn't urge you by your side, have you fallen behind in your current cultivation?" With the eyes of Lei Ming, of course, he can clearly see that Ying Xiaoxiao's realm is now the peak of a martial artist, and he has a solid foundation, and he is about to break through to the level of a warrior. But seeing her out-of-the-box character, I couldn't help but ask jokingly.

"Of course not. I'm very diligent, I practice hard every day, you see I've reached the peak of martial arts now, and I'm ready to break through to the samurai realm after returning to the town this time. I'm a genius, hehe......" Ying Xiaoxiao circled around the thunder and responded with a smile.

"Well, you're a genius, you're almost 15 years old this year, with your current cultivation realm, you can also belong to the top disciple level in some big sects. However, you are also a big girl, and your temperament is still so jumpy, you have to restrain yourself. Thinking of her character, Lei Ming said a few more words.

"It's better to be Uncle Ray. Unlike my father, he always teaches people with a straight face. Thinking of her father, Ying Xiaoxiao complained unconsciously.

"Hehehe...... Your dad is also for your own good. Well, let's not talk about that. Before the merchant group completes the procurement and leaves the village, you arrange for two people to stay and guard the store, usually one is on guard, and the other walks around the village, so as to familiarize yourself with the villagers and facilitate the exchange of goods in the future, although the villagers will basically directly trade the beasts they hunt and the medicinal herbs they dig back directly to the store, but you still have to be familiar with the villagers so that it will be easy to trade with them in the future. At the end of each month, the goods returned from the trade are handed over to the caravan to take back to the town headquarters, and they are stationed in the shop for about a year, and after a year, if they don't want to stay, they will be replaced by another person, and then they will operate according to this pattern. Lei Ming once again asked Ying Xiaoxiao to prepare and implement the matters to be arranged in detail.

"Oh, I see, I'll arrange it. Uncle Lei, are you going to go back to the town headquarters? Ying Xiaoxiao's eyes widened and she looked at Lei Ming expectantly.

"No, it's going to be a few years before I get back to town, and I have some other things to do here." Lei Ming shattered Ying Xiaoxiao's reverie, and immediately changed the topic: "Well, you tell me about the current situation in the town." ”

From Ying Xiaoxiao's narration, Lei Ming learned about the basic situation of the town in recent years: due to the development of the Shang Alliance, the trade road that was previously rugged and difficult to travel through the mountains has been opened, and every month from all villages in the mountains can bring back a lot of valuable medicinal materials and various materials that are helpful for cultivation, as well as some rare high-quality ingredients, so as to obtain valuable economic benefits; Seeing this steady stream of interests, many capable trading houses and families in the town formed caravans independently or in alliances, and developed other routes on the same road opened by the merchant alliance, and entered various villages in the mountains to purchase various materials produced in the mountains.

The rise of this model has enriched most of the villages in the mountains, and the opening of trade roads has made the villages no longer as closed as before, the villagers' eyes have been opened, and some of the customs of the towns have gradually spread into the mountains, and the people who practice martial arts have slowly formed a group.

At the same time, a large number of cultivation materials and medicinal materials with a wide range of uses were brought back to the town and sold to all parts of the Desolate Night Region through various channels, earning huge benefits, and the huge profits made the town's tax revenue increase several times; The endless business opportunities have attracted a lot of outsiders to move in, many of these outsiders are cultivators who have achieved cultivation, and even some have reached the highest level of martial arts, and they range from three to five people to form expeditions to enter the mountains to hunt and collect medicine to find what they need for cultivation, or come back and sell them to shops, so the geographical scope of the town has also expanded exponentially, and they are almost the size of a small city.

Due to a large number of materials and personnel to join the town, various shops and schools in the town have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, the largest of which are the "Four Seas Business Alliance" and "Jiuxiao Pavilion" two commercial houses.

It is understood that the "Four Seas Business Alliance" is not a local business alliance, the headquarters is established in the Hongxiao region outside the Huangxiao region, and it is a large-scale cross-regional business alliance jointly established by some big forces in the Hongxiao region, with a business scope throughout the entire Jiuxiao Continent and strong strength and background.

"Jiuxiao Pavilion" is even more mysterious, no one knows its origin, where is the headquarters established? I only know that "Jiuxiao Pavilion" is a large auction house, with super strength, no one dares to make trouble in "Jiuxiao Pavilion", any rare treasures can be auctioned at the "Jiuxiao Pavilion" price, and the credibility guarantees that Tong Su is not deceived, but the handling fee charged is slightly more expensive than other auction houses, and one and a half percent of the auction price is charged.

The "Four Seas Business Alliance" has one alliance leader, two deputy alliance leaders, three chief managers, five deacons, and several other clerks; "Jiuxiao Pavilion" has one pavilion master, two deputy pavilion owners, two appraisers, two auctioneers, and a group of other clerks; With the cultivation of the middle stage of the natural martial artist, the high-level personnel of the two major trading houses have been contacted, and the various cabinet masters and alliance masters cannot sense the level of their cultivation realm at all, the chief manager, deacons, appraisers and auctioneers have all reached the cultivation realm of the middle and early stages of the martial arts, and most of the other clerks are martial apprentices and martial artists, and there are more than three who have reached the level of samurai.

In addition, there are all kinds of shops, some sell pills, some sell weapons, some deal in medicinal materials, some sell all kinds of mineral equipment, and there are all kinds of talismans and formations; The most popular shops are the "Danwang Pavilion" that sells pills, the "Refining Gate" that builds and sells weapons, and the "Fu Zong" that makes talismans.

Now the town has opened up a large commercial street connecting the north and south, and now almost all the shops in the town are concentrated in this large commercial street, of which the commercial street in the south is mainly stationed in the shops of pills and medicinal materials, and the north is the shops that sell refining weapons, talismans and various minerals.

There are also two well-known colleges that have opened branches in the town, namely "Dynasty Academy" and "Jiuxiao Academy".

The "Dynasty College" is located in the east of the town, covering an area of about 5,000 acres, and has a total of 30 teachers, including the dean; "Jiuxiao Academy" is located in the north of the town, covering an area of about 5,000 acres, including the dean, there are about 40 teachers, and the teachers of the two academies are basically martial artists or higher cultivation realms.

Because there are a lot more people coming to the town, the area has also expanded several times, to get close to the size of the city, the town guard Zhang has applied for approval, the town is temporarily named Lianshan City, it is estimated that when the city wall is built, the city guard is complete, and it will be officially renamed Lianshan City.
