Rise of Nongmen

Xiao Biesheng is newly married, although Ye Chen and Xiao Jinyan are not married yet, they are not far behind.Fortunately, Xiao Jinyan said that Ye Chen really enjoyed the process, and he demanded quite fiercely from Xiao Jinyan. He tossed and tossed until mid-afternoon, and then went out to look for food satiated.

When he brought the food box into the tent, Xiao Jinyan was already sitting upright on the low table, looking refreshed, apart from a look of laziness on his face, he really couldn't tell that this person had just fought with him on the bed for hundreds of times. back.

Ye Chen sighed in his heart, it feels really good to have strength in his body, not to mention anything else, just the fact that he has a super strong physique is enough to make people flock to it, otherwise, how could he have the ability to persist for an hour or two, Xiao Jinyan would not After a short rest, he is so energetic, as if he is just like a normal person.

"There's nothing to eat at this point, you just use what you can." Ye Chen took out a bowl of noodles and a few plates of toppings from the food box, mixed a portion for Xiao Jinyan, and it was his turn.

Xiao Jinyan was used to being served by others since he was a child, but they were all servants. Since he became sensible, this was the first time he was treated like this by his family members. There seemed to be warmth flowing through his heart, and he wanted to catch it, but it disappeared suddenly like an illusion. without a trace.

Seeing Xiao Jinyan not moving his chopsticks for a long time, and keeping his eyes on him, Ye Chen couldn't help but joked: "Why, I'm so pretty and delicious, you even forgot your lunch?"

Xiao Jinyan suddenly had a black line on his forehead, and without thinking about it, he looked away and focused on the noodles in front of him.

The tent instantly became quiet, only the slight sound of eating remained.

After the meal, the bowls and chopsticks were removed, and Ye Chen asked about the external situation.These days, he has devoted himself to exploring the secrets of the Qiankun Palace, and has no time for him. He is not very well informed about outside news, and has even reached the point of being blocked. Now that he is free, it is necessary to make up this lesson.

Xiao Jinyan looked up and looked opposite: "Which way? Zuixiaolou?"

Ye Chen didn't care much and said, "Whatever, as long as it's something new that happened recently."

Xiao Jinyan thought for a while, then organized the language and briefly introduced the recent news.

The first is the good news. Since Xiao Jinyan sent someone to secretly release the news to fight King Yu, the situation has changed and it is no longer one-sided.

Spiritual wine is certainly good, but Chuan Gong Pagoda is even more beneficial for thousands of years. Whether to focus on the present or focus on the future, each family has an account in their minds. Although the spiritual wine is still dominant at present, the effect it has is limited.

However, the loss has already been caused, and it is impossible to recover it. The investment in Yanjiu may have to be reduced by a few percent of the original production reduction plan.

Ye Chen doesn't care about this point, sooner or later there will be such a day, I am afraid that in the future there will be a world with vitality, wine and food, and the advantage of flame wine to outshine others will no longer exist, but I don't know if distillation is effective for spirit wine.If he can keep the vitality in the spirit wine on the basis of purification, then the flame wine will continue to grow red, and he will try it later, he has already thought of the name in advance, if it succeeds, it will be called flame spirit wine.

In addition, Xiao Jinyan also told an important news, there is a jade mine containing a small amount of Yuanyu in the Western Regions, but there are few people, the terrain is dangerous, and there are many beasts infesting, so mining is very difficult.So far, the loss of single-digit manpower can't be stopped, but there are still many forces eyeing it, and they are not afraid of death.

Ye Chen knew that fierce beasts were advanced beasts, much more powerful than wild beasts, and the gap between the two was equivalent to that between monks and ordinary people.Ordinary people have no way to survive one-on-one against fierce beasts. A group of people with sharp weapons may still have a small chance of winning. Only those above the strong man level can truly fight. The same rest.

Ye Chen naturally didn't learn about the beast's combat power from other people, this common sense came from the trial tower.Speaking of ferocious beasts, his heart trembled. Although the Western Regions were thousands of miles away and would not be able to affect this side in a short period of time, since ferocious beasts had already appeared there, other places might not be far away from them. Immediately He asked, "Is there any news about the beast?"

"No." Xiao Jinyan replied without thinking.

Ye Chen relaxed slightly.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Jinyan then changed the subject: "However, I have received news that wild beasts in the mountains are more aggressive than before, and sometimes mountain people are injured."

Ye Chen: "..." Can you stop panting so much and finish speaking in one breath?He looked at Xiao Jinyan with condemning eyes.

Xiao Jinyan didn't seem to receive it, and there was even a faint smile on his face, showing that he was in a happy mood at the moment.

Ye Chen was even more speechless, could bad tastes be contagious?In the past, Xiao Jinyan was serious and cold, but he would not take pleasure in watching him embarrass himself like he does now.Alas, it's true that God's sins are still forgiven, but self-inflicted sins cannot live.

Ye Chen couldn't help thinking deeply, whether he should take it easy in the future, but don't make Xiao Jinyan like him, thinking of the scene where Xiao Jinyan made trouble with him with a playful smile made his whole body tremble.

It was too scary to look at.

He thought so in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. Killing Ye Chen would not make Xiao Jinyan aware of this.What he likes is that Xiao Jinyan is like this now, he doesn't care what will become of him in the future, at least right now he doesn't want Xiao Jinyan to make too many changes, as long as he keeps his current appearance.

Skipping this issue, Ye Chen asked solemnly: "Have you thought about how to deal with it?"

"Well, troops have been sent to the mountains and forests to eradicate wild animals. As for the safety of the mountain people, we can only let them build courtyard walls for the time being. If the situation is too critical, they may have to move the village." Speaking of this, Xiao Jinyan's face faded into a smile. barely visible.

"Don't consider moving now?"

"If you don't see a rabbit and don't scatter an eagle, and don't be pushed to the extreme, the mountain people won't move their nests."

Ye Chen expressed his understanding that it would be thankless for Xiao Jinyan and the local yamen to do this, unless the imperial court forced them to relocate.It was still possible in the past, but now it is obvious that Zhenbei Mansion has been freed, and it is impossible for the imperial court to bother and work hard for the people of Zhenbei Mansion.

Now the situation is very complicated. If the Zhenbei Mansion is really under the control of the Zhenbei Army, then things will be easy to handle. Now it is not going up or down. The imperial court has not completely let go. The yamen at all levels have a lot of constraints on the Zhenbei Army. Although the Zhenbei Army is the only one , After all, it is still far from covering the sky with one hand. Even if the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages, it is not easy to intervene in some things, and things are so stalemate.

"Open a yuan jade exchange shop as soon as possible." After thinking for a long time, Ye Chen gave such a suggestion.

Xiao Jinyan thought the same way, thought for a moment, and said: "Tomorrow you will go to see the shop with me."

"Don't stay with the troops?"

"There are other generals here, don't worry about me."

"That's fine." After saying that, Ye Chen got up and walked towards the bed, took off his clothes, and turned his head to say hello, "Come and take a lunch break with me."

Xiao Jinyan: "..."

"What are you waiting for, come on quickly." Ye Chen moved very quickly, and took off his underwear in two or three movements. Seeing Xiao Jinyan's displeasure, he explained casually, "You are wearing blue and black now. I’m very tired. I just had a fight. I’m full of energy. I’m afraid I’m exhausted. It just so happens that I’ve been upside down day and night lately. We’ll be busy tomorrow, so hurry up and rest while you’re free. Don’t rely on your physical fitness. Don't take it seriously."

Xiao Jinyan was noncommittal about this, why didn't he know that his eyes were black and blue?Everything was normal when I washed in the morning, and it couldn't be caused by the incident just now.However, in the past month, he has been continuously inspecting various units of the Zhenbei Army, and after the mission is completed, he rushes here non-stop, traveling long distances for months, and he can't even lie to himself if he says he doesn't feel tired at all.

But that was just a feeling, not manifested in the body, especially in the face.You know, Xiao Jinyan was at the prime of his life, and he was a monk, no matter how tired he was, he would be alive and well after a few days of rest.

But it doesn't look like Ye Chen is joking, Xiao Jinyan can only attribute it to the fact that the other party has strong soul power and can observe energy.

It's good that Ye Chen didn't mention it. When he mentioned it, Xiao Jinyan really felt drowsy. Thinking that there was really nothing serious in the afternoon, she instinctively moved to the side of the bed, undressed and leaned in to sleep.

Ye Chen: "..." He just used his soul power to make a hint, but it was really only a little bit less, how could Xiao Jinyan react so much?It seems that the other party really lacks sleep recently.

Afterwards, Ye Chen seemed to think of something, and the corners of his lips raised slightly.Who is Xiao Jinyan?He is determined, and he will definitely not be like this just because of a small hint. The reason why the effect is so great can only show that the other party is not wary of him and does not defend himself.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen couldn't stop being happy, and the smile reached his eyes.This person really did what he said, and he was with him initially because of the exchange of benefits, but Xiao Jinyan fulfilled his promise well and really took him to heart, and he was not a partner who could break up at any time.

After admiring Xiao Jinyan's sleeping posture for a while, Ye Chen also slowly closed his eyes.

There was a moment of silence in the tent, only two shallow breathing sounds could be heard.

This time Xiao Jinyan slept very deeply, and when she woke up again, it was already the next morning.He found it incredible, and subconsciously looked at Ye Chen who was going to the temporary stable, as long as there is no problem, if there is a problem, it can only happen to this person.

Ye Chen is used to walking alone, Xiao Yanjin travels, unless he deliberately hides his whereabouts, or at least a few masters will be around him, this time he is traveling lightly, and the number of guards has been reduced to a minimum, including Ye Chen and Xiao Jinyan, the number is still the same Up to eight people, if it weren't for the limited number of war horses who are not weak, Liuyan Zhiyan, I am afraid that there will be more entourage.

Ye Chen is not familiar with Zhenbei Mansion, so the address of the Yuanyu Exchange Shop is naturally decided by Xiao Jinyan, and he only provides opinions for reference.

As he walked, Ye Chen felt that this road became more and more familiar: "Jinyan, are you taking me to Zhenbei Fucheng?"

"Yes." Xiao Jinyan replied softly.

"How did you think of choosing that?" Ye Chen had no objection to this, but asked a little curiously.

"The prefecture city extends in all directions, the transportation is convenient, and the city wall has the natural advantage of high security." Xiao Jinyan explained carefully.What he didn't say is that in the future, it is very likely that someone will be able to fly into the sky and escape from the ground. I'm afraid it's not advisable to rely on the terrain to defend the city. The formation defense is the general trend. Instead of choosing a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is better to directly choose a prosperous city. Everything is convenient.

When it comes to Zhenbei Fucheng, one has to mention Qing'anhoufu.Zhenbei Army is responsible for guarding the border and does not intervene in the affairs of local garrisons. Zhenbei Fucheng is an exception. If the safety of family members cannot be guaranteed, how can they fight outside with peace of mind?Moreover, not only the Qing’anhou’s Mansion is located here, but many generals of the Zhenbei Army also made their homes here. The entire area near the center of Zhenbei’s city center was occupied by a group of military officers from the Zhenbei Army, and the Qing’anhou’s Mansion was directly occupied. Most of the street.

Therefore, when Ye Chen asked about the defenders, he got this answer.Even so, after pondering for a moment, he still asked: "Are you sure you don't need to send additional troops to garrison?"

Xiao Jinyan didn't answer directly, but looked sideways at Ye Chen, and asked suspiciously, "Do you think this is not enough?"

"No, it's just a rainy day." Ye Chen didn't say much about it. The number of routes he took was completely different from that of the army. It's okay to remind him. Let him directly command the battle. Small-scale is no problem, but he is really good in large-scale battles Not necessarily up to the task.

Wen Xian knew the elegant meaning, although Ye Chen didn't say it clearly, Xiao Jinyan understood the deep meaning of his words.The local garrison and the Zhenbei Army are not in the same system. Although the Zhenbei Prefecture City Garrison is controlled by the Qing'anhou Mansion, no, it should be said that it is controlled by the Qing'anhou. Now this power is in the hands of Xiao Jinyan, but the control is definitely not as strong as the Zhenbei Army.

The most important thing is that the two parties belong to different systems and are not directly affiliated. Although Xiao Jinyan can suppress people with his identity, but the other party really does not obey orders, he has no choice but to put people under house arrest and replace them with complete Completely own people, or simply Chen Bingfu City.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jinyan narrowed his eyes slightly. Things are not so bad. Apart from their side of the garrison in Zhenbei Prefecture, there are also several military officers, covering all levels. Xiao Jinyan is not worried that they will form a group to fight against him. , but Ye Chen was right to be worried.

There is a huge difference between controlling an army through a few officials and the real direct line.

After pondering for a while, Xiao Jinyan made a decision in his heart.He does not intend to give up the garrison in Zhenbei Prefecture. In this case, it would be inappropriate to send another army to be on duty together. To do so is to distrust them and properly push the Zhenbei Prefecture garrison out. Since he thinks that their relationship with him is not strong enough, Wouldn't it be good to turn them into his troops as well?

From the point to the surface, the garrisons in other places can also operate in the same way, but this has to be done slowly, and we should not act too hastily. I believe that after the Yuanyu Exchange Shop opens, there will be fewer obstacles. By then, we will advance step by step from north to south , he will be able to truly hold Zhenbei Mansion in his hands.

Ye Chen never expected that his random suggestion would make Xiao Jinyan think so.But even if he knew, he wouldn't have any idea, but would be happy to see it happen.

After the general direction is established, the next thing is extremely simple.

Zhenbei Mansion City is the site of the Qing'an Hou Mansion, and currently only Xiao Jinyan can enjoy this honor. He ordered it, and his subordinates immediately finished the work beautifully, and it took a very short time. Within a few days, not only the pavement was completed , Even the decoration is done together.

Standing outside the shop, Ye Chen's eyes moved slightly as he looked at the big "Zhenbao Pavilion" on the plaque that had just been hung up and not covered with cloth.Cooperating with smart people is a peace of mind. He only said that he wanted to open a yuan jade exchange shop, and Xiao Jinyan was in place in one step. He directly set the direction of future operations, and the area was unexpectedly large, directly occupying five storefronts. , or the upper and lower floors, really willing to spend the capital.

What Ye Chen cares about is not these, but revealing the profound energy of the Qing'an Hou Mansion here. Xiao Jinyan has reached the goal he had worked so hard for at this moment, and such a person is his fiancé, who is firmly grasped by him. In the hands, the reason is self-evident, the strength is above everyone else, making it unmatched by the people of the world.

Xiao Jinyan holds the sharp weapon of the Zhenbei Army in his hand, and there are so many people, Ye Chen is afraid that he will not be able to keep up with it, and he doesn't like to be surrounded by a large group of people all day long. It is very necessary, Ye Chen decided to adopt the strategy of elite soldiers and strong generals, the soldiers are more expensive than the more expensive, which echoes Xiao Jinyan.

Thinking of this, the plaque was covered, the gate was closed, and Ye Chen walked slowly back to Qing'an Hou Mansion.

At this point, once the preparations are ready, the only thing left is publicity.

It's simple, Xiao Jinyan sent someone to each prefecture to deliver a message, and within a day, Zhenbao Pavilion was about to open, and the news of offering jade to Yuanyu business spread throughout the prefecture, and continued to spread outwards, making it well-known throughout the world .

Qing'anhou's Mansion was originally the one with the highest voice in Zhenbei Mansion, and he was the target of everyone's fawning. In addition to the influence of Yuan Yu, on the day of the opening, the number of guests was not enough to describe the lively scene, and the threshold was almost trampled. There are so many guests that even the big Treasure Pavilion can't hold it.

As Xiao Jinyan's fiancé, Ye Chen was not suitable to welcome guests as the host, but he and Xiao Jinyan were in a special situation, and there were no other masters in the Qing'an Hou Mansion, so Ye Chen was pulled out to entertain the male guests, and the female guests could only Ask Xiao Jinyan's acquaintance aunt to help.

It was not the first time for Ye Chen to face such a scene, but what he had seen in the past was nothing compared to this time, and there was no comparison at all.

After greetings all morning, Ye Chen felt that his face was stiff with laughter, and then he simply suppressed his smile and greeted the guests with a solemn face. He called him an expert fan, and suddenly his ears became quieter, and he wanted to get close to him with gloves on. There were a lot fewer people all of a sudden.

After being busy for nearly an hour, seeing that the guests were almost here, the auspicious time had come. Immediately, with the sound of firecrackers and flying confetti, Zhenbao Pavilion officially opened for business.

"What about the goods, why didn't you see the goods?" Just now everyone was busy greeting acquaintances and making friends with strangers, and didn't notice anything wrong with Zhenbao Pavilion. None of the goods were seen.The reason why they didn't find it strange was that all the space was occupied by tables and chairs. At first glance, it looked like they had entered a teahouse or restaurant.

"Everyone, don't worry, the things are here." Shopkeeper Xiao took out a jade box from the counter facing the door, lifted the lid and poured it on the counter like pouring copper. Voice.

"This is Yuanyu?"

"It should be. It's not easy to look at. It's simply born out of heaven and earth."

"I can't take it anymore. I'm going to change it. Do you want to go?"

"You go, I'll take another look."

"Then I'll go, don't regret it, today's discount is [-]%, and tomorrow's price will increase."

"Come on."

"Master, the little one is here."

"Bring the box in."

"Okay, master, wait a moment, it will be ready soon. Xiaowu, Xiaoliu, get the goods."

Immediately, the two servants carried a large box into the Treasure Pavilion. This was not the only thing, and there were more to follow. Three full boxes were lined up before the move was complete.

It is estimated that the box is too big to order, and the seller is very considerate to put it in a small box, but after a while, the counter is full of small wooden boxes.

"Grandpa Ye, please." Shopkeeper Xiao greeted the person standing behind him with a smile.

Ye Chen nodded at him, took over the work that should have been done by other people, and signaled shopkeeper Xiao and a few court officials to line up on both sides, carefully watching how he estimated the price.

"Hey, why is it him, the husband-in-law of the owner's family came up in person?" Seeing Ye Chen appearing on the stage, everyone immediately discussed.

Ye Chen acted as if he had never heard of this, and asked him to tell him that he was not cowardly at all, even without the help of the Lucky Mall, he would not be deceived.However, his way of distinguishing jade is different from other people. He directly senses the vitality content in jade with his soul power. The high-value jade in his cognition has a certain deviation from Shopkeeper Xiao and the others. Now it is just a demonstration to take them along, otherwise the judgment will be wrong If it is too big, you will collect a bunch of useless goods. Even if the established profit of Zhenbao Pavilion is as high as half to double, it may not be safe, and you may lose money if you make a mistake.

Ye Chen didn't have much research on jade. He didn't even know the specific names of many jade materials, let alone the place of origin. Number and paste the price. I don’t have time now. I will study it carefully later.

Ye Chen's movements are fast, he can tell the price of a piece of jade in the blink of an eye, and there is no chance for people to bargain at all. The price he sets is the final price. There is no such thing as bargaining on his side. If you want to bargain, you can, and Shopkeeper Xiao and the others went to talk, so he counted the jade and priced it very quickly.

Even so, it took less than half an hour to count the three big boxes of jade. It's not that there are too many jades, but that Ye Chen needs to set aside some time to register the jades with the store clerk, otherwise his busy work this time will be in vain.

"The total is 630 taels. Lord Wednesday, you are the first guest of Zhenbao Pavilion, so you should be given preferential treatment. Let's count as 8000 taels. You can exchange for twelve yuan jade, can you exchange it?" Ye Chenwang Looking at the slightly nervous Lord Wednesday, he said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Change, change." Zhou Zhou was emotionally excited, and agreed in multiple voices.

"Please take it well." Ye Chen grabbed twelve yuan jades from the jade box and handed them to Lord Zhou Zhou. At the end, he kindly told him, "It's best to put them in the jade box, otherwise it's easy to lose your vitality. It would be a big loss."

Hearing this, Lord Wednesday hesitated to speak.

"Don't worry, the vitality in Yuanyu is not so easy to lose, you can go home and store it in the jade box." Ye Chen knew it in his heart, and took the initiative to dispel the worries in the hearts of everyone present.

"Wednesday, come on, let me see." Yuan Wuye urged urgently.

"Didn't you plan to buy it just now? What are you looking for?" Lord Wednesday raised his chin slightly.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense, when did you become so stingy?" Yuan Wuye didn't care about this, the two of them were too familiar, so he went straight to untie the purse from Zhou Zhou's waist.

"No, can't I show you?" Master Zhou hurriedly covered his purse with both hands, and said angrily.

After getting the item, Yuan Wuye tossed it over and over again, not long after, he felt comfortable all over his body, and he couldn't help showing surprise: "Good thing, good thing, on Wednesday, hurry up and take one in your hand, it's good for your health. "

"Really?" Master Wednesday glanced at Master Yuan Wu, and dubiously followed his advice.But for a moment, a look of shock appeared on his face.

Among the guests, there is really no one who dares to spend nearly 2 taels for Yuanyu without proof like Zhou Zhou, but there are many people who are willing to spend 3000 taels to sell the face of the Qing'an Hou Mansion Now, before everyone could act, Lord Wednesday took the lead and decided to wait.

At this moment, most of the people's attention was on his side, and their eyes were on him intentionally or unintentionally, just in time to listen to the conversation between the two, and their thoughts suddenly drifted.A few guests who were close to Master Zhou even went up to ask for a piece of Yuanyu to experience it for themselves. Afterwards, they were all amazed. They were quick to send someone home to get the jade, and some even ordered to go to the street to collect the jade. Buy jade.

"Is this thing really good for your body?" Some guests didn't believe it.

"You can buy one yourself and feel it." It's true that Zhou Zhou is generous, but he is not generous to everyone, at least it must be his friend, and strangers are exempt.

No one’s money comes from the strong wind. Today, the Treasure Pavilion opened. Even if it is a discounted price, a piece of Yuanyu is worth 500 taels of jade, and the silver taels are not collected. There are really few people who are as big a gambler as Lord Zhou. After all, among the people present, none of them has really seen Yuanyu, and those who know the goods probably don't have time to come and cheer for the opening of a shop at this moment.

There was a lot of movement here, and Ye Chen had noticed it a long time ago. Seeing this, he whispered something to Shopkeeper Xiao.

Shopkeeper Xiao immediately clapped his hands, attracting the attention of all the guests: "Everyone, don't worry, anyone who wants to feel the effect of Yuanyu should come here and line up, everyone has a share." As he said, he rearranged the He took out two Yuanyu from his jade box and put them on the counter next to him for trial.

Ye Chen didn't expect Yuanyu to have such benefits, so he decided to wear one for each of his family when he returned home.

Just in time, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xiao Jinyan who was at the back of the counter, Ye Chen raised his mouth, took a Yuanyu and walked towards him, stood still and handed it to him: "This is for you. "

Xiao Jinyan: "..." Although he felt quite speechless, he still reached out to take it.

Yuanyu's tentacles are warm and moist, and Xiao Jinyan can judge that it has the potential of top-level jade just by the touch. Coupled with its refreshing aura, it is worthy of being the king of jade.

Excluding the other meanings of Yuanyu, if judged only by price, it is not in Xiao Jinyan's eyes, but at this moment, a faint smile appeared in his eyes.

Xiao Jinyan made sure again and again that Ye Chen really didn't use him as a toy, played with it a few times when he was happy, and threw it away when he got tired of playing, but really treated him as the other half of his life.

That's enough, he doesn't force anything else now, we'll see when the time comes.

Ye Chen's perception is extremely keen, as it has always been in the past, but now with the blessing of soul power, even if he doesn't use it, his senses are super strong.For Xiao Jinyan's reaction, he saw everything in his eyes, and his mood became brighter and brighter. He even forgot the tired feeling of treating the guests with a stiff smile just now, and covered it with his sleeves. They held each other for a moment before letting go.

Xiao Jinyan showed good concentration. In the public, Ye Chen secretly touched his hand, but he didn't change his face. He just waited for the other party to let go, and patted him hard on the back of the hand, and then went straight into the back hall as if nothing had happened, leaving Ye Chen alone Meet the guests in the front hall.

Most of the guests were on the sidelines before. Although they had already prepared for bleeding, they were not too willing after all, and their performance was naturally not so positive.Now, anyone who has experienced the benefits of Yuanyu is willing to pay for it as long as their money is not too tight, and a long queue forms in front of the counter in no time.

This is the difference between active and forced.

Ye Chen became very busy all of a sudden, but fortunately most of the guests only brought some precious jade, and the price was calculated very quickly. After the busy peak period, he was free again.

Jade antique shops generally adhere to the rule of not opening for three years and eating for three years after opening. Zhenbao Pavilion happens to belong to this type of shop. Although the business is booming just after opening, after seeing off the guests, there is basically no business in the afternoon, no, It should be said that there are no new customers, only those few transactions were contributed by the guests in the morning.

Ye Chen is not worried about this at all. The time for Zhenbao Pavilion to be really lively has not yet come. When someone gets benefits from Chuangong Pagoda and proves that Yuanyu can indeed be of great use, then not only Zhenbei Mansion, but the entire Dai Viet North Korea, even Gentiles will be attracted here.In this way, even if there are very few people who can afford Yuanyu, when the scope is large enough to a certain extent, it is enough to feed the Zhenbao Pavilion round.

In the next few days, as Ye Chen expected, business was normal.Of course, this generally refers to customer flow, turnover or even profit, which is the best. I am afraid that there are not many stores in the world that can match it.

No one else, just because the minimum transaction amount of Zhenbao Pavilion starts with one yuan jade, which is equivalent to about 500 taels, and the profit reaches one-third of the sales. higher.

Think about it, other shops are complacent about earning dozens or hundreds of taels a month, and the daily income of Zhenbao Pavilion is equivalent to their hard work for a year and a half. It is simply unimaginable, but one can imagine how big the gap is.

Ye Chen didn't spend too much time in the Treasure Pavilion. Except for the opening day when he personally appraised the price of the jade, the rest of the time he stayed in the Qing'an Hou Mansion, cultivating the Qiankun Pearl while cultivating, and also cultivating the talent to test the formation. Material.

Originally, Ye Chen planned to set up a five-element array, whichever kind of vitality the Qiankun Pearl lacked, he would make up for it. Since the five-element array was not complete, he only had the gold element array, so Ye Chen changed his mind and planned to do the opposite. The way to do it is to directly use Yuanyu, which has no attributes, to recharge the Qiankun Pearl. If the vitality is out of balance, the more ones will be consumed, such as planting jade with corresponding attributes.

It just so happened that the wood vitality and fire vitality in Qiankun Pearl were much more abundant than the other three kinds of vitality, so Ye Chen planted all the elixir obtained from the trial tower into Qiankun Small World, not even the roots of the Soul Condensing Grass left No matter whether he can grow it or not, let’s plant it first.

If it is said that Ye Chen can sneak away from his busy schedule, then Xiao Jinyan is really busy with his feet on the ground. The Zhenbei Army has to take care of military affairs, and the Chuangong Pagoda has to be taken care of. Practicing the resource contribution exchange system, coupled with the fact that he has to practice himself, he can't wait to be superfluous. This is the case when Zhenbao Pavilion is temporarily taken over by Ye Chen, otherwise he will be distracted by it, and he will only be busier.

When he was in such a state of desperation, he received a small box of Yuanyu from Zhenbei Fucheng, even though Xiao Jinyan's concentration was excellent, he couldn't help showing joy on his face at this moment.

You must know that the group of people who were taken into the Chuangong Pagoda and got free trial opportunities were lucky enough, but they were all ignorant and didn't know many things, especially the step of choosing exercises. Too many people chose incorrectly. As a result, the opportunity was wasted and nothing was obtained.If it weren't for the first-time practitioners, no matter how bad their performance was, they would be able to get comforting bad street cultivation skills at worst, and they would be beating their chests with regret when they came out of the tower.

Even so, Xiao Jinyan was not without regrets, he hadn't been able to get all the exercises at that time, if someone had reminded him before entering the trial tower, he would have gained more than that.

Without Yuanyu, Chuangong Pagoda is just a decoration. After so many days, the income is very little. It can be said that what Xiao Jinyan is doing now is a loss-making business, but it is a battleground for military strategists. No one will give up if Xiao Jinyan gives up.

Well now, Zhenbao Pavilion can provide him with a steady stream of Yuanyu, and at the same time, Chuangong Pagoda will gradually come into the eyes of everyone, it is no longer just a spectacle but not useful, once Chuangong Pagoda is in normal operation, there will be another one on his side. Pen yuan jade income, with the superposition of the two, the situation is officially opened.

Xiao Jinyan counted the number of Yuanyu, and immediately called the five most capable monks and soldiers, intending to let them enter the first batch for a try.Three of them have soul power talent, although not very good, the chance of one out of three should be relatively high.

Xiao Jinyan's goal is not high, as long as he gets an introductory book on alchemy, it is enough, and the rest are windfalls.

In order to increase the probability, Xiao Jinyan decided to go there in person after thinking about it for a while. As for the work at hand, he put all the work behind him.

Xiao Jinyan has a strong ability to act, and when she makes a decision, she immediately executes it.

At the same time, Ye Chen has also made progress. The talent test array refining materials have been cultivated by Qiankun Small World for more than half a year regardless of cost. The fast ones have entered the harvest period, and the slow ones are growing well. After a month at most, the materials will be ready. I can collect everything.

The talent test formation and the gold yuan formation are at the same level, and Ye Chen can master the latter two. Naturally, the talent test formation that is as difficult as them is not a problem. It is a waste of a few more materials. Hand, he can fully afford this level of consumption.

The vitality of Zhenbei Mansion is also not full, only a little better than Beihuang. Compared with Shanyuguan, it is like a sky and a ground. There is no comparison at all. If Ye Chen wants to practice, he can only set up a gathering array.

At the beginning, the vitality in the formation was thin, but it gradually became richer as time went on. However, when Ye Chen activated the function of the Qiankun Pearl to absorb vitality from outside, the replenishment could not keep up with the consumption, so he had to turn off the function of the Qiankun Pearl.After all, no matter how important the Qiankun Pearl is, it is not as important as his own cultivation. He is clear about which is more important.

Ye Chen only has three Yuan Gathering Arrays in his hand, two are set up on the Beihuang Farm and cannot be moved easily, and one is carried with him.It was fine before, he was enough for one person, but now with the Qiankun Pearl, who is a big drain on vitality, it is a bit stretched.

Ye Chen once again set his sights on the Juyuan Formation, and looked at the small world of Qiankun. With the Juyuan Formation and Yuanyu supplementary consumption, the concentration of vitality did not drop anymore, but increased slightly. He thought it would not collapse in the short term, and he went In the wood spirit field, black iron wood, the base material of the Juyuan array, was planted, and a small piece was planted one after another.

There is no way, the black iron wood has a long growth period, and it is much rarer than the talent test array materials. Since it will not be able to obtain it from the outside world for a while, he can only make a variety of points by himself.If it weren't for the fact that he had to set aside enough wood energy for emergencies, he would want to use up all the available wood energy in order to cultivate a large amount of black iron wood.

The Juyuan Formation is really easy to use, and naturally the more the better, unfortunately, the current conditions do not allow Ye Chen to do this, so he can only give up this tempting plan for the time being.

Ye Chen didn't stay long in Zhenbei Fucheng. Once Zhenbao Pavilion was on the right track, he returned to Jinmin County and met with his family. One of them gave them a piece of Yuanyu to wear next to him, and then he pulled several carts of wall tiles without stopping. Rush to Beihuang Farm.

The ferocious beasts appeared, and the wild beasts became more aggressive, which made Ye Chen doubt the safety there. The farm might not be able to take care of it, at least the manor should be surrounded by walls.

As soon as Ye Chen talked about it, Ye Ningren told him that Ye Wu and the others were already working on it, but the fence hadn't been built yet, and the wall bricks were still lacking. Counting the cars he pulled over, it should be about the same.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Ye Chen's face.If there is progress, it is no longer what he says, but the family does what he says. That way, he is obedient. The subjective initiative is too poor, and the training of executors is considered qualified, but the manager is not suitable.Obviously, what Ye Chen wants is the latter, the executors can just let the employees do it, and there is no need for their own family members to sacrifice like this.

Now wild beasts in the mountains and forests frequently come out of the mountains and attack passers-by. Few drivers are willing to go to Beihuang.Sure enough, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. This is true. When the reward is high enough, even if the future is uncertain or even life-threatening, there will still be people who are not afraid of death to take on the task, and no one will take it. It can only show that the price offered is not enough.

In order to avoid trouble, Ye Chen did not walk along Luoyan Mountain, and all the way was safe and sound, until he entered the Northern Wilderness, where there should be no shit, but there are sand snakes and sand scorpions from time to time, although they did not pose any threat to them, But it also caused them constant troubles, and Ye Chen almost didn't know this place.

Could it be the same situation at the farm? Isn't it dangerous for Ye Wu and the others?

Ye Chen turned his soul power into a sharp arrow and pierced Sand Snake's head in front of him, while muttering in his heart.
