Chapter 722 The end of the fair and the successor

The next day, the fair was still lively.

Except for the warriors who confronted the undead head-on, only Zhong Ye and the others knew what happened last night, and the common people didn't know that they almost passed through life and death.

Zhong Ye and the others didn't procrastinate until the evening, they gathered directly at the trade fair.

However, their meeting place is not at the meeting place, but on the river far away from the meeting place. The master of Wudang Mountain created a platform on the river with his magic power for their gathering.

"Perhaps..." Yang Tai, head of Wudang Mountain, said slowly, "Maybe it's because our world is getting closer to the earth, so the evil god of the abyss couldn't sit still and increased his attack power."

"It's possible." Zhang Bing nodded in agreement.

Both Qing Hezi and Shen Yixing sat aside, stroked their beards, and remained silent.

"No matter what, we have to mobilize the power in our hands and be ready to face the abyss." Zhong Ye said in a deep voice.

Qing Hezi nodded lightly, "Xinyuantang will do its best to provide medical services to everyone here, and that's all we can do."

When he finished speaking, there was a long silence around him.

Just when Yangtai was about to ask the crowd to disperse, Zhong Ye spoke again: "The head of Yangtai and the leader of Zhang Bing, I wonder if the two of you have tried herbal medicine?"

Hearing this topic, the others immediately became interested.

Their understanding of the earth is only to know that there is such a world, that there are many human beings in that world, and that in the process of social development, that world is far more advanced than their world.

They didn't know about the 'herbal planting' mentioned by Zhong Ye, and they didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing.

"Wudang Mountain and the Dajiang Gang have their own territory, and many herbs are only suitable for the environment of the two lands. As the intensity of our war with the abyss gradually increases, the number of herbs from the wild may be greatly reduced. , in order to be able to supply sufficient herbs, herbal planting is imperative, and it must be professional and large-scale planting!"

After listening, everyone took a breath.

What Zhong Ye said is indeed reasonable. As legends, they have all visited some places that have been eroded by the abyss, and most of the plants that grow there are strange.

Moreover, as the intensity of the war increases, it is impossible for people to continue to go to the wild to pick herbs. Today's model is unsustainable. Therefore, professional and large-scale planting of herbal medicines is indeed imperative.

"Yaowanggu should have experience in planting herbs." Shen Yixing also participated in the topic, "If the two of you are interested, I can help you contact them."

Yaowang Valley is located in Sichuan and Shu, and Shen Yixing often lives in Sichuan and Shu, so there are many exchanges between them.

With Shen Yixing as a guarantee, and the fact that Yangtai and Zhang Bing are both legends, and the forces behind them are also one of the top martial arts in the local area, as long as Xiaozhi is moved by emotion and reason, Yaowanggu should accept their advice.

"At the same time, planting herbal medicine can also protect people's livelihood and increase the income of local residents."

Seeing that the two were still a bit hesitant, Zhong Ye added: "The two of you may have a great family and business, but if the sect behind you wants to develop, it must develop new businesses. Herbal medicine cultivation requires a lot of manpower and can make a lot of money. , Senior Qing Hezi should understand this point very well."

Qing Hezi stroked his beard, nodded and said: "Like indigo root, it is a wonderful medicine for clearing away heat and detoxifying. Even if this kind of medicinal material is easy to cultivate, the purchase price of Xinyuantang is generally [-] copper coins per catty. If it is cultivated on a large scale , the purchase price may be lower, maybe around [-] to [-], but the output of one mu of indigo roots is more than [-] catties, and it may be up to [-] catties if it is properly cultivated. There is nowhere to go."

Hearing this, Yangtai couldn't help sighing: "Such huge profits are much higher than the price of growing grain. If the common people know about it, they may simply stop growing grain and switch to growing medicinal materials."

In this regard, Yangtai was slightly worried.

"No." Zhong Ye shook his head and said, "There are only so many medicinal materials that the medicine hall and medical center can collect. If everyone replants medicinal materials without any plan, it will only lead to the collapse of the medicinal material market, and the purchase price will plummet all the way. , but the price will not change... It is difficult for me to explain the reason to you, because I am not very clear, I just know that there is such a thing."

After finishing speaking, Zhong Ye looked at Yang Tai and Zhang Bing, "Seniors, do you have any plans?"

Yang Tai and Zhang Bing looked at each other and nodded.

Although Wudang Mountain and the Dajiang Gang have great families and businesses, their disciples also have relatives. With the help of planting herbs, they can make their relatives rich and strengthen the disciples' sense of belonging to the sect.

Although Wudang Mountain and the Dajiang Gang both have their territories in the Huguang Chief Secretary, but the Huguang Chief Secretary is so big, even if they all grow the same kind of herbal medicine, they can't fill the Huguang Chief Secretary's market. What's more, they can still communicate. For a moment, plant different herbs so that there is no competition.

This kind of thing is that both sides benefit from cooperation, and both sides lose from confrontation. There is no need to fight in this kind of place.

In this way, the tone is set.

However, Zhong Ye is still persuading, and wants to let more sects join the ranks of development through Yangtai and others.

Although he is not completely rootless in the East now, it is still difficult to get in touch with those famous families unless he visits them personally.

However, with so many affairs on hand, he couldn't leave Jingzhou at all, let alone visit him.

Although most sects and chambers of commerce of Huguang Chief Secretary have gathered in Jingzhou, however, he has no way to influence those decent sects outside Huguang, and he can only influence those sects through Yangtai and others.

"... Zhong Xiaoyou's words are reasonable." Yang Tai nodded, "After the old Taoist returned to Wudang Mountain, he discussed with his disciples to see if he could impress other sects."

"Someone also mobilizes the energy of the Dajiang Gang." Zhang Bing also agreed with Zhong Ye's approach, "The fight against the abyss should not be taken lightly, because we are about to meet the earth, we must not relax, we must do our best to develop."

After some more communication, the legends dispersed.

The head of Wudang Mountain is going back to Wudang Mountain today, and after a few instructions from Zhang Bing and the supervisor who is participating in the fair, they will also return to the headquarters of the Dajiang Gang, Shen Yixing and Qing Hezi will stay.

The reason why Qinghezi stayed was because the trade fair attracted caravans from the Western Regions and the East China Sea. He needed to lead the team to communicate with those merchants to see if he could build a sales channel for medicinal materials.

Several legends got busy, and the exhibition was also coming to an end.

…………

"...As the acting magistrate of Jingzhou, I would like to thank you all for coming. This fair lasted for ten days. During these ten days, I believe that everyone present had a very good time. The agricultural products were sold, the merchants obtained new channels, and the common people with their own specialties also sold the small commodities produced by themselves.

"I'm not sure whether the fair will be held again, but I can guarantee that the venue will be preserved as a free trade market after reinforcement and renovation - I want to use the influence of this fair to A commercial market is established here to attract businessmen from all over the country to visit, so that they can communicate here, so that the goods can be truly circulated, instead of people only being able to buy locally produced goods and commodities as in the past .

"At the same time, I will also strongly promote the products of Jingzhou Mansion to go out, through the channels of the commercial market, to all parts of the country!

"That's all I want to say. Thank you again for coming. I announce that the first fair of Jingzhou Mansion has come to an end!"

When Zhong Ye's voice fell, applause and cheers resounded like a mountain roar and a tsunami.

The most excited people were none other than the local residents of Jingzhou Mansion.

Because Zhong Ye said that he would push Jingzhou Mansion's products to all parts of the country, and now under the leadership of Zhong Ye, breeding farms and factories have been established in all parts of Jingzhou Mansion.

The more goods they sell, the more money they can get. How can this not make them happy?

The fair is over, but the follow-up work is not over yet.

Under the guidance of the security personnel maintaining order, people gradually dispersed from the venue. Zhong Ye and Dai Lila were arranging follow-up work.

At this time, a middle-aged man who claimed to be the 'successor' approached him.
