Chapter 41 That guy should still be there
The so-called wealth is moving, which is not just about ordinary people, but also for those who have cultivated immortality and achieved enlightenment. As the saying goes, the reason why those who are poor in literature and wealthy in martial arts spend money is mainly because they consume too much physical strength and need to buy some meat often, including making weapons, so it costs more than feeding a scholar.
Cultivation is more expensive than learning martial arts. Meat and weapons are small heads. The real big heads are those spiritual medicines and materials. This is also because there are so few monks. The family of ordinary people tightens their belts and may be able to train a knight, but it is not realistic to train monks at all. Only those rich families can be able to do so.
The same is true when they arrived on the mountain. Sun Changjin and Yan Boyu originally thought that they were the only ones who were poor and their other classmates lived well. Who knew that after asking indirectly, they found that everyone was not doing well in life. Except for those elite disciples who were highly valued by their elders, no one else was short of money.
In this way, there are many goals to choose. These two people are good at calculating on weekdays, and they don’t choose those who are more capable than themselves. In that way, their jobs may be ruined. They only choose those who are not much different from their own abilities and are close to each other. They also chose a few new disciples who have just started and are in a ignorant state. A total of seven people were collected, which was the first to send to Guo Yong. Anyway, the business has just opened, so the seven people are probably enough to use.
However, it turns out that they underestimated Guo Yong's business, or underestimated the enthusiasm of the merchants in nearby prefectures and counties. Although Gu County is only a county town, this county town almost does not grow grain because it is sheltered at the foot of Xiangkong Mountain, and almost all the farmlands are planted with elixirs. For those merchants, the road before was not easy to walk, and selling elixirs would not make much money. But for ordinary farmers, planting these is still better than growing grain. Even if their methods are just average and there is no spiritual field that specializes in planting elixirs, the harvest is still quite large in the year, at least it is more profitable than growing grain.
The reason is probably because nearby prefectures and counties dare not provoke Xiangkongshan. The Tang Dynasty court also issued documents and paid less tax on planting spiritual medicines. In addition, there were several large grain-producing counties outside, so Gu County and several surrounding counties turned into exclusive cultivation areas for spiritual medicines.
The Leyun County opposite is also a large county town. They directly connect Qizhou, Luzhou and Jiangnan to the east, and sales are no problem at all. They exist as a transit station for coastal prefectures and counties in mainland prefectures and counties. Therefore, they have a very high ability to earn, and they can take down any goods.
As a transit station, Leyun County also has a large number of fresh goods coming from the east, such as some rare materials, tonic drugs, etc. in the sea. If they can be brought back to Gu County and sold to the northwest, the price will be several times or even dozens of times.
With such a good source of goods and such a good transit station, they could only watch. The merchants in Gu County were so depressed. They had not thought about forming a guard. The key was that they could not find a master. The teams they had formed were all killed by the robbers in the end. Some of them were targeted and even destroyed after they were destroyed, resulting in no one dared to take on this job. Now that they finally had such an escort agency, they were also under the Immortal Sect. The eagerness of the merchants can be imagined.
Liu Boxiong is a little famous among the small and medium-sized businessmen. When he went back to get his personal experience and helped Guo Yong send a bunch of flyers, the merchants in Gu County quickly went into a state of madness, and some even went to the Taoist temple to discuss overnight. When Sun Changjin and Yan Boyu led seven newcomers to the Taoist temple, they saw a long queue several meters away. They were stunned by the bustling scene. Seeing Mingyue busy maintaining order, Sun Changjin stepped forward a few steps forward and pulled him, and asked in surprise: "Junior Brother Mingyue, are you all here to talk to us about business?"
Mingyue had long lost her usual well-behaved and elegant image. At this moment, she was sweating profusely helping to maintain order and appease the merchants who had not yet made her turn. Seeing that Sun Changjin had only brought seven people over, she didn't even care about the superiors and inferiors that she was usually very careful, she yelled anxiously: "Why did you call seven people? How many people are enough? Look at how many families are waiting for us to deliver goods now, hurry back to the door and call some people!"
Sun Changjin didn't think it was offended, but instead was still immersed in the fantasy of making a fortune. After a while, he suddenly screamed, turned around and ran to the mountain, shouting as he ran: "Junior Brother Yan leads the brothers to help first, and I will go back to the mountain to call for some people!"
With the help of Yan Boyu and eight others, Mingyue's work was much easier, so she went to the temple to prepare meals for the old Taoist. Taoist Bai Ao looked like an old man, sat on the chair of the magistrate, swaying as Guo Yong's brush flying, sweating profusely, and sighed in her heart that her own vision was really nothing. She wanted to cultivate a talent who could become a pillar of the sect in twenty or thirty years, but who knew that she had just been here and had such a momentum. If this kid was allowed to take charge of the internal affairs of this sect, it would take only ten years for Feilai Xian Sect to be the first in financial resources even if she could not be the first in the seven major sects.
Sun Changjin was also very efficient. In just half a day, he brought in more than a dozen people, most of whom were new disciples, and there were all halls. Some of these people were purely money, some were difficult to retreat from the invitation of their senior brothers, and some wanted to see what happened. With all his thoughts, he came to Xiangkong Mountain and came to this legendary Taoist temple, which was also shocked by the grand occasion here.
With the joint efforts of both sides, the first convoy set off at dawn the next day, and returned in the evening. After dinner at the Taoist temple, the disciples who made money talked about the gains of this trip, making the originally pure Taoist temple very lively. Guo Yong was initially afraid that Taoist Bai Ao would be bored, but when he looked carefully, the old guy was very happy. At this moment, he was gathering among a group of disciples and telling the story of his youth that he was dominating the world. He had a tendency to develop towards a storyteller, so he felt relieved.
In the next half month, several disciples in the sect defected to Taoist temples and became escort leaders under the Feixian Escort Agency. They used escorts to earn living expenses, and were even more diligent and could earn a lot of money for cultivation materials. They also spread among the disciples of the lower class of the sect, spreading rapidly and spreading to Zhou Xu's ears.
Listening the whole thing carefully and thinking through it, Zhou Xu suddenly had a very despicable and dirty smile in his mind. Then he picked up the corners of his mouth slightly, showed a strange smile, and whispered to himself: "I'll just say that guy should be still here!"
