Chapter 504 The firm was robbed, and the drought was seriously injured
Heaven's blessed land, millions of miles of mountains and rivers, is in turmoil, and the war continues.
The people lived in panic, and Zhuang's Trading Company also closed its business, leaving only food and other businesses for the time being.
However, the business in the market and the transactions with practitioners are quite good.
"Taking advantage of the current chaotic situation, not many people will pay attention. Recently, Zhenyue led the way and sent Jin Buhuan and others into the tribe to be baptized in the Dragon Blood Sacred Pond. But you must remember,
At this moment, they have not been baptized by the Dragon Blood Sacred Pool, so they are not considered true companions. They must still be vigilant during the journey."
Zhuang Ming continued his instructions, then thought of something, and continued: "Has Yue Ting been released from confinement?"
Shuang Ling shook his head slightly and said softly: "He has been in seclusion for several days."
Zhuang Ming sighed and said: "What a bad fate..."
Ever since he told the truth, Jade Faced White Light Jian Yue seemed to have suffered great psychological trauma.
Not to mention Yue Ting, even Zhen Yue, Chen Feiyun, Jin Buhuan and others, who can clearly see that the generous, dignified and polite Tang girl is actually a man?
"Fortunately, he has already mastered the body of gods and demons. Even if he doesn't eat or drink, or even if he drinks to drown his sorrows, nothing will happen to him." Zhuang Ming waved his hand and said, "But with his temperament, he can live a better life."
God will be fine."
"It looks a bit pitiful right now." Shuang Ling whispered.
"Everything in the world is unpredictable, so he should be given some experience." Zhuang Ming said.
"Then he won't become like Jin Wei, the supreme elder of Guiyuan Sect?" Shuang Ling asked worriedly: "What if Master Yue wakes up and becomes fond of men?"
"It should...not be enough..."
Zhuang Ming felt a little helpless. The Ninth Senior Brother was like this back then. He was so sad that he stayed in seclusion for several days. Then he calmed down and condensed the golden elixir of the Great Dao.
He has always found it difficult to talk about the interests and hobbies of the third senior brother. It seems that he became interested in this area after he disguised himself as a woman and tricked a large number of outstanding people when they were competing for the top spot.
Of course, after this assassination of Zhao Wu, Zhuang Ming also discovered that under certain circumstances, this method was indeed extremely important.
For example, when the three senior brothers pretended to be Fairy Gongyue and surrounded the Jusheng Mountain in various sects, they unexpectedly assassinated a Supreme Elder of the Taiyuan Sect.
Another example is Zhuang Ming, who sneaked into the first palace of Dongyuan Realm, pretended to be Zhao Wu's wife, and easily assassinated Zhao Wu.
This method is quite useful in many cases, although it is a bit shameful.
But he, Zhuang Ming, asked himself that he had always acted in an eclectic way at best and unscrupulous at worst, so naturally he would not care about these trivial details.
He thought for a moment, waved his hand, ignored all this, turned to business, and asked.
"What is the current battle situation of all parties in Tianyu Blessed Land? Can anyone report from each place?"
"People come to report every day. The current fighting situation is still fierce. The outside world is in chaos. People have been displaced and even started to loot things. If our trading company didn't have many guards, I'm afraid it would also become chaotic." Shuang Ling responded.
"In troubled times, it is natural to expect that people are arrogant and unreasonable, putting strength first, and the weak preying on the strong. However, people within the firm must also be carefully investigated. Not everyone under my firm is loyal.
There are always people with selfish ambitions," Zhuang Ming said.
"About this aspect, Mr. Fu already made arrangements yesterday." Shuang Ling said softly.
"That's good." Zhuang Ming paused and then asked, "Where is the market?"
"Every commercial branch in the market has manpower in charge, especially the original commercial branch in Nanyuan Realm, which is now the largest. The person Fu Lao transferred was Master Wen Han." Shuang Ling said.
"He has a level of cultivation at the Zhenxuan level, which is quite reliable." Zhuang Ming paused and then said: "In addition, let the various commercial branches prepare in advance. I think after a while, the Da Chu military will
It is necessary to requisition civilian goods to use as military supplies."
"Don't you think that Da Chu has a strong foundation?" Shuang Ling said in surprise.
"But it is impossible for the Chu Dynasty to raise all the foundations." Zhuang Ming said with a smile: "The government below will levy the goods and services of the people, and the government above will definitely levy the goods and services of the practitioners in the market...
It is naturally better to confiscate the things of the people and use them than to drain the treasury. In this way, the common people are weak and the treasury can still preserve part of the heritage, not to mention that there are many greedy people among them."
"But during the war, those officials must have restrained themselves?" Shuang Ling asked in a low voice.
"No, the war is their opportunity. Even if the Chu Dynasty does not have a military order, the government and the military everywhere will use the excuse to recruit military resources for public benefit. After all, not everyone is in charge of power.
They are all selfless." Zhuang Ming said calmly: "Many times, the military resources recruited from the past also fall into their pockets."
"At this time, would anyone dare to be greedy like this?" Shuang Ling said in surprise.
"In times of war, the higher authorities inevitably neglect supervision, making it easier to line their own pockets."
Zhuang Ming said slowly: "Mortal officials want gold, silver, and silk, while officials at the spiritual level want elixirs, magic weapons, and even all kinds of rare and exotic objects, heavenly materials, and earthly treasures. Regarding this, we
You have to be on guard early."
At this point, he paused and then said, "Is there any movement from that fairy recently?"
Shuang Ling shook his head slightly and said: "I stay in my room every day, practicing quietly, and there is no movement."
At the beginning, Zhuang Ming knew in his heart that this woman in white was a remnant of the ancient immortal gods, and among the ancient immortals, she must have a very noble status. Therefore, he was inevitably wary of the white-clothed fairy.
Keep a respectful distance.
However, during these days, we occasionally met each other, and Zhuang Ming also vaguely realized that this fairy was not moody or murderous for no reason.
Therefore, he arranged Shuang Ling to be with the woman in white.
"In this case, act as before and don't neglect it."
When Zhuang Ming said this, he looked at Shuang Ling again and said sternly: "The origin of this fairy in white is extremely mysterious, but she should be an immortal god who has been sleeping since ancient times. At least she once had the Taoism of the immortal god level. If you can
If you receive a few pointers from her, you may benefit from it throughout your life."
To say that he would become a disciple of this woman would be too much to hope for.
But if you occasionally receive a few pointers, it's not hopeless.
"Yes, sir."
Shuang Ling responded.
Zhuang Ming nodded slightly, then raised his eyebrows.
Above the sky, a white shadow fell suddenly.
It was a white dragon eagle.
"Something happened?" Zhuang Ming frowned.
"In the market, the trading company was robbed. In order to save everyone's lives, Wen Han was seriously injured." Long Ying spoke quickly, spitting out human words.
