I rely on farming to transform the world of cultivation

"I didn't expect that, uh... the people of Lord Emperor's son can make jade slips for messages. I was thinking of buying them in Xingyue Sea before. It's really a long way to go."

Seeing Fang Chen's confident look, Wang Changlin was also sure that he was not bragging, and his respect for the Emperor's son increased.

When mentioning the Emperor's son, Wang Changlin was obviously slow, which was also noticed by Fang Chen.

Fang Chen also understood why.

He made up the identity of the Emperor's son, so that those refugees could transform into descendants of the Immortal Dynasty. When they did not come into contact with external forces, this identity was not a problem.

The key is that in his story system, everyone in the cultivation world can be called descendants of the Immortal Dynasty. Once they interact with the outside world, new problems will immediately arise.

That is, how to distinguish the descendants of the Immortal Dynasty who have returned to the rule of the Emperor's son and those who have not yet returned to the Emperor's son?

When Fang Chen rushed to the coast, he wanted to reorganize the organizational structure, and this was also partly the reason.

It is precisely because it is impossible to distinguish now that he can only say that the people of the Emperor's son can also make jade slips for messages.

Wang Changlin also noticed the same problem, so he continued to use his name.

This also made Fang Chen realize once again the urgency of formalizing his power. He decided to discuss this matter with Lin Qingshan and Xu Qiyun after returning tonight.

Fang Chen's thoughts turned very quickly. He thought a lot in a short moment. Wang Changlin didn't think so much and continued: "Fang Daoyou, I wonder if Lord Emperor Zi has any other good things?"

When saying this, Wang Changlin rubbed his hands, like a mercenary businessman, without the demeanor of a cultivator.

This is normal. The profit of the message jade slip is huge. The price he reported to the Wang family is 150 spirit stones per pair. If he buys it in Xingyue Sea, he can earn 50 spirit stones for each pair of jade slips.

And trading directly with Fang Chen, it becomes 70 spirit stones for each pair of jade slips.

The profit has increased by 40%.

It also saves the trouble of going to sea.

All these saved spirit stones have fallen into his pocket. How can he not be mercenary?

Cultivating a path requires money, friends, methods, and land, and earning spirit stones is not a problem.

"Does Wang Daoyou want to do more business?"

Fang Chen glanced at Wang Changlin, and was also thinking about what he could sell in his territory.

"Of course, the more business, the better. It is good for both of us, isn't it?"

Wang Changlin did not deny it, and said it openly.

"Then I have to go back and ask the emperor. If the emperor agrees, I will take the list of transactions and discuss it with Wang Daoyou in detail."

Fang Chen did not refuse directly, but he did not agree to it either. The main reason is that the output of various items in the territory is still too small.

Just like the Qi Gathering Powder, the Wang family will definitely not be uninterested, but at present, the entire territory can only produce 500 copies at most, and most of them have to be kept for their own use, and there is no room for external sales.

However, he is also very interested in trading with the Wang family.

His territory will produce various products related to spiritual plants in a long-term and stable manner in the future. It cannot all rely on the Xingyue Sea. One more trade channel is also an additional ability to resist risks.

"Can't we use the jade slips to communicate?"

Wang Changlin was a little curious. Since the other party was able to make jade slips and had the spare capacity to sell them in large quantities, wouldn't it be enough to communicate about this matter through jade slips?

"This matter involves too many people. The emperor's son will not make a decision directly, but will call us together to discuss. In this case, I might as well go back directly. Anyway, the road is not far."

Fang Chen's mind turned quickly and he immediately thought of how to answer.

"So that's the case. Then I look forward to good news from Fellow Daoist Fang."

Wang Changlin had nothing to refute for this reason.

It is normal for the Wang family to decide who to do business with and the clan leader to hold a meeting to discuss with everyone.

The two chatted for a few more words until the sun completely set, and Fang Chen returned to his territory.

The descendants of the Immortal Dynasty are taking night classes.

However, it is no longer Xu Qiyun and the assistants who are responsible for teaching today. Lin Qingshan is also present.

Moreover, this time the teaching is obviously led by him.

At first glance, he is teaching mathematics to these descendants of the Immortal Dynasty.

Of course, in the world of cultivation, it should be called a math class.

"This is five, this is six, this is five hundred..."

"Deacon Lin, the symbol for five hundred is too complicated. Can't you just write it down?"

"Yes, these numbers are too hard to remember."

"You guys, in the back, the numbers involved in the math are very large. These symbols are for easy reading and writing. Just remember them down."

"Easy to read and write? But why do I feel that these numerical symbols are harder to write than words?"

Fang Chen heard the complaints of the descendants of the Immortal Dynasty and the voice of Lin Qingshan who was disappointed with him from a distance.

So he quickened his pace, rushed to the teaching venue, and asked, "What's going on?"

At this time, he could also see the symbols that Lin Qingshan drew on the ground.

To be honest, except for one, two, three, and four, which were represented by corresponding lines, Fang Chen didn't recognize any of the other symbols.

It looked like some simplified characters were used to represent numbers.

But this simplified character itself has no memorable points.

Simply looking at these characters, you will never associate them with numbers.

"Lord."

Seeing him coming, all the disputes stopped immediately, and the descendants of the Immortal Dynasty stood up and greeted him.

"Don't be shy, I heard your quarrel from a distance just now, what is it about?"

Fang Chen waved his hand, motioning them to continue sitting down, and then asked Lin Qingshan.

"Lord, didn't you instruct us to train some people who can engrave a certain restriction? I thought I would teach them some basic arithmetic first, so that it would be easier to learn, but now they have difficulty learning even the basic digital symbols."

Lin Qingshan immediately gave an explanation. Although it is not difficult to let someone memorize and learn a certain restriction, it still requires a certain level of arithmetic skills.

Otherwise, the success rate of engraving will not be very high.

As a result, his planned arithmetic education failed at the first step.

Now he is very depressed.

"So this is the problem, that's simple, since the digital symbols are too complicated, why not replace them with a set of simple symbols?"

Fang Chen nodded. In fact, when he saw the words written on the ground, he had already guessed it.

To put it bluntly, the digital symbols of hieroglyphs are difficult for ordinary people to remember.

Language and writing were not created for ordinary people from the beginning. People who have the ability to access these things have enough free time to learn, and the right to education is monopolized by raising the threshold.

Then monopolize knowledge and upward channels.

"It's indeed a good idea. Let me simplify these symbols for a while before teaching them."

Lin Qingshan also thought it made sense, so he decided to go back and simplify the symbols before teaching.

"No need, give me the pen."

Fang Chen took a few steps forward and took the pen from Lin Qingshan.

It's called a pen, but it's actually a branch, used to write and draw on the ground.

When the future set of mother-and-child jade slips reaches the point where everyone has a set, it can achieve a similar effect to online classes.

Back to the topic, Fang Chen, holding the branch, first wrote the capital letters from 0 to ten thousand, that is, zero one two three four and so on.

This is basically the same as his previous life.

"I think you all know these numbers."

Fang Chen paused at this point, and then asked everyone present.

"Know them."

This is the content of the literacy class. The characters related to numbers are all taught in the same few classes, and they are also taught how to use these characters to express quantity.

"Very good, I will call these characters uppercase numbers."

Fang Chen nodded, and continued to write 0一二三四 below 0一二三四, etc...

Then he stopped and said: "I call these lowercase numbers."

"Lowercase numbers?"

The descendants of the Immortal Dynasty discussed a lot. They were all cultivators at the first level of Qi training, and their eyesight was very good. They could see the words written by Fang Chen clearly.

"These lowercase numbers are indeed much simpler than uppercase numbers."

"Yes, there are only a few strokes at most, and they can be remembered quickly."

"As expected of the Lord, you thought of such a simple number symbol."

...

It is not difficult to hear from their discussion that they are very accepting of this set of lowercase numbers.

Compared to uppercase numbers with many strokes, lowercase numbers are very convenient to remember.

"This set of lowercase numbers can replace the numerical symbols of smaller numbers, but once the numbers become larger, the original set of symbols is still more useful."

Lin Qingshan was also thinking about the so-called lowercase numbers and found that it was indeed simple, but there was also a problem.

It is indeed simpler to represent single-digit and double-digit numbers, but it is still not as good as the original digital symbols for larger numbers.

"You are right, but who said that my simplified symbols have stopped here?"

Fang Chen also agreed with Lin Qingshan's opinion, but he still had a killer weapon to show.

He wrote down Arabic numerals such as 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 under the lowercase 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4.

"What is this?"

Including Lin Qingshan, everyone present asked the same question.

"This is the abbreviation of lowercase numbers in the counting process, I call it a number."

Fang Chen did not keep them hanging and gave the answer directly.

Then he taught how to use numbers from zero to ninety to construct more numbers.

"Today's math class ends here. If you want to master these numbers faster, you might as well look up at the starry sky tonight, count the stars in the sky, and record the numbers you count."

After saying this, it actually took only two quarters of an hour. Because the numbers taught by Fang Chen are very easy to write and easy to remember, these descendants of the Immortal Dynasty have mastered the basics.

Seeing their excitement about learning numbers, Fang Chen really wanted to say: "You have learned basic mathematics, now do this advanced math problem."

However, thinking that this is a strange world, no one will laugh because of his words, and everyone present will only be confused, he suppressed this desire.

"Come with me to the top floor, I have something to discuss with you."

The descendants of the Immortal Dynasty gradually dispersed, and there were indeed many people who followed Fang Chen's words, looked up and began to count the stars, and recorded them on the ground.

Fang Chen also strode back to the bamboo building, and did not forget to tell Lin Qingshan and Xu Qiyun before leaving.

The two looked at each other and hurried to catch up.

There is a special reception room on the top floor with tables and chairs. However, since Fang Chen spends most of his time in the training ground, many things are discussed directly in the training ground.

This time, the reception room that has been idle can be used.

The three of them found a seat and sat down, and Fang Chen told them his ideas.

"The Lord's idea is correct. Descendants of the Immortal Dynasty are our common identity, but it is also the identity of everyone in the world of cultivation. It doesn't matter when we ignore the outside world. Since we have already come into contact with the Wang family, we really need to Distinguish from them.”

Lin Qingshan summarized Fang Chen's thoughts that time and expressed his agreement.

Xu Qiyun stroked his beard and nodded slowly a few times.

Identity is indeed an important issue.

If they didn't have the identity of descendants of the Immortal Dynasty, they wouldn't be able to unite under Fang Chen so quickly.

The problem is that they cannot claim to be descendants of the Immortal Dynasty to the outside world.

The Immortal Dynasty thousands of years ago unified the entire world of cultivation. This is an ironclad fact, so the descendants of the Immortal Dynasty can refer to everyone in the world of cultivation.

Calling myself a descendant of the Immortal Dynasty is no different from saying that I am a human being.

"I called you here just to discuss what kind of power should be established? As far as I am concerned, it is best to rebuild the Immortal Dynasty in one step. However, we only have more than a thousand people now. Is it a bit ridiculous to rebuild the Immortal Dynasty? ?”

After both of them understood the basic situation, Fang Chen explained his dilemma.

His persona in front of these descendants of the Immortal Dynasty has already been established. He will be reincarnated for hundreds of generations and return to the human body as the emperor of the Immortal Dynasty.

If one wants to establish power, the first thing that everyone will think of is probably to rebuild the Immortal Dynasty.

Lin Qingshan knew these inside stories, so he also began to think deeply.

"Your Majesty, please listen to me."

Seeing that both of them were silent, Xu Qiyun spoke, and used the title of Emperor's Son.

"Speaking."

There were only three people present, and they were all trustworthy, so Fang Chen didn't correct the title.

"Actually, I think, why should we care about the opinions of external forces? We are rebuilding the Immortal Dynasty internally and changing our status from descendants of the Immortal Dynasty to citizens of the Immortal Dynasty. No one will object."

Having said this, Xu Qiyun thought for a moment and then continued: "As for external affairs, we will set up a chamber of commerce in the name of the Immortal Dynasty to contact them, won't we end it?"

Fang Chen's eyes lit up, this was indeed the truth.

It's really ridiculous for outsiders to think that a monk with a thousand Qi refining stages dares to call himself an Immortal Dynasty, so why don't outsiders know?

Within the territory, the organizational structure was reorganized in the name of rebuilding the Immortal Dynasty, making management more refined and maximizing efficiency.

In terms of external contacts, according to what Xu Qiyun said, a chamber of commerce was established in the name of the Immortal Dynasty to be responsible for connecting with the outside world.

And compared to the Immortal Dynasty, the Chamber of Commerce is also easier for people to lower their vigilance.

"Okay, I'll do as you say. The name of the Chamber of Commerce can be finalized now, and it will be called the Moon God Chamber of Commerce."

This name was a temporary idea, but it was also planned for a long time.

Whether it was the Moon God Flower or the Moon God Palace in his dream, the word Moon God left a deep impression on his mind.

But the Moon God Immortal Dynasty is obviously not very pleasant to listen to. In comparison, the Moon God Chamber of Commerce is much more pleasant to listen to.

In this way, the Moon God Chamber of Commerce was established earlier than the Immortal Dynasty in its external contacts.

Next, the discussion about the Immortal Dynasty will begin.

Today’s first update is a 4,000-word chapter. I apologize for not updating the third chapter last night, mainly because I was dragged out to drink by my colleagues.
