The years when I explored the fairyland

The next day,

In the early morning,

"Howl..."

When the first ray of sunlight pierced the darkness, a long howl broke the tranquility of the entire Xuanzhen Temple.

The howl was like the roar of a dragon or a tiger, echoing among the mountains, and stirring up the sea of ​​clouds in the sky.

For a moment, countless people were awakened. Those who reacted quickly, such as Xu Cheng, Fan Tiehu and others, were close to Chu Zhou in almost a moment.

When they looked up, they saw that Chu Zhou seemed to be flying in the air, and the howl was rolling like a tide, which was very shocking.

After a howl, Chu Zhou slowly fell down. When he stood on the eaves, Wei Jinkui laughed and said, "My nephew, has your martial arts improved greatly?"

Chu Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling the strands of mana in his body, like the gurgling stream, and his mood was extremely good.

Although the number was a little less, pitifully small, but it was there.

With it, he dared to say to everyone: I have entered the Tao!

Of course, modesty is still necessary, so he lowered his head and said, "It's also a small gain, a small gain, hahahaha!"

Halfway through his words, he couldn't help laughing to himself. Obviously, this couldn't be explained by "a small gain" anyway.

It's no wonder Chu Zhou lost his composure. He was so happy that he finally set foot on the immortal path that he had been thinking about.

However, when he looked down, he saw that Taoist Qingjing was also among the crowd. When he saw Chu Zhou looking at him, he even bowed and smiled brightly.

Everyone didn't delay here for long. Those who needed to wash washed, those who needed to eat ate, those who needed to do morning classes did morning classes, and those who needed to pack up packed up...

Chu Zhou's return meant that the danger in Baisha City was almost gone, and Wei Jinkui's wife, the second daughter of the Zhao family, could go back with her servants.

In addition, people from all over the country came to Xuanzhen Temple to burn incense, pray for blessings, and see a doctor. Anyway, Xuanzhen Temple was quite lively.

It is worth mentioning that Chu Zhou is now well-known, and can almost be said to be a unique warrior in Baisha City.

Even the common people know the name of the "Guardian Lingguan", and then the incense of Xuanzhen Temple has risen and prospered.

Although Chu Zhou doesn't care about the incense money, it is a good thing that the Taoist temple is popular.

However, these are nothing to Chu Zhou. After greeting, he is ready to figure out his own magic power.

With magic power, it will naturally gather more and more, but what is the use of this magic power?

How to use it?

To what extent can it be used?

He knows nothing!

But before he can sit down, Fan Zhong came with a thick dozen account books, which were so thick that they almost reached his chin.

Chu Zhou saw it and knew that he couldn't hide, so he let him in directly.

In the study,

Bang!

With a muffled sound, the account books fell on the desk. Fan Zhong took the top two and handed them over with both hands.

Then, his knees softened and he knelt down, saying, "Master, I made a big mistake. Please punish me!"

Chu Zhou reacted faster and raised his hand to support him, but did not say much.

He just took the account book, opened it and glanced at it, and knew that it was a record of grain trading.

He asked curiously, "Is the grain shop losing money?"

"How could it lose money?"

Fan Zhong shook his head and said, "In Baisha City, the price of grain has risen the most, so it is making a lot of money!"

"Then what do you mean by 'making a big mistake'?"

"Before the master left, didn't he ask me to buy a lot of grain? At that time, I wanted to stimulate enthusiasm, so I selected a lot of people from the grain shop and gave them quotas and rewards.

The more you collect, the more rewards you get, and then I asked them to intercept the canal ships at the ferry.

As a result, the result is..."

"The price is too high?"

"That's not the case. On the contrary, the price is much cheaper.

Some time ago, due to the situation in Baisha City, other grain shops dared not to buy grain, except for ours, so the price was pushed down again and again.

The lowest price is only 50% of the original price, and the ordinary ones are also discounted by about 20%.

Moreover, this is not to mention that their grain is not obtained from legitimate sources, and the grain price itself is low. "

Chu Zhou was confused now, and he asked: "You sell high and buy low, the standard is low and buy high Selling, a profitable business, actually told me that there is a problem?

But what is the problem? "

"Yes, we bought too much!"

Fan Zhong's face showed a rare helpless look: "When I asked them to buy grain, I didn't tell them how much I wanted, but the more the better.

As a result, they didn't hesitate to buy as much as they could.

By the time I realized it, it was already too much. "

After saying this, Chu Zhou calmed down a little and asked: "How much is it?"

"The warehouse at the dock is full, I made a quick estimate , even if all the people in Baisha County eat the grain from my family, they can still support themselves for about two years. ”

Speaking of this, Fan Zhong also stole a glance at Chu Zhou's face, and then said: "For these grains, all the silver in our warehouse has been moved out, and there are even a lot of debts.

Mainly owed on credit to grain merchants, they saw that the grain was not easy to sell, so they collected the deposit and agreed to pay the balance at a certain time. ”

Speaking of this, he hurriedly said: "But Master, don't worry, now, the grain shops in the city all buy grain from us, and the money they receive is enough to pay the balance. ”

"That is to say, it is sufficient to be responsible for its own profits and losses. But when there is a good harvest next year, the old grain in this warehouse will not be sold?"

"Yes, that's the biggest problem!"

Chu Zhou asked again: "When I asked you to buy grain, didn't I specify the specific quantity?"

"Yes, yes!"

"That's alright. What are you worried about? If there is a problem, it's because I didn't make it clear."

Chu Zhou shook his head and said: "If you buy it, just buy it. You have food in your hands and don't panic in your heart."

What he said was a conclusion to the matter. In fact, it was still his own fault. Fan Zhong's supervision was at best unfavorable, and it would be meaningless to pursue it too much.

Seeing Chu Zhou say this, Fan Zhong felt relaxed but also a little ashamed.

He paused and then said: "Master, I know that the master is willing to praise me, but after all, I am older, have limited knowledge, and often feel that I am not up to my ability.

If not, the temple owner can find another powerful person to be this steward? "

"Then let me ask you, I changed the housekeeper, how do you know he is willing to be with me?"

"this……"

Chu Zhou said earnestly: "In the position of housekeeper, ability is very important, but loyalty is even more important. I don't trust others to do it."

After a pause, he added: "As for ability, that's simple.

Uncle Fan, you can grow and learn, or you can find capable people to be your assistants. At most, you can pay some salary. "

"Okay, that's it for now, don't say anything more."

"Thank you, Master, I will work hard!"

Saying this, Fan Zhong seemed to have thought of something again and asked: "Viewer, do you think we should increase the price of grain? We are already the largest grain merchant in Baisha City. If we do this, why don't we raise the price of grain?" Disaster."

"No!"

Chu Zhou shook his head: "The price should not rise. It should even drop a little if necessary. Food is no better than others. There must be no chaos and no huge profits."

Saying this, Chu Zhou threw away the account book and said: "It's just a little money, don't take it too seriously."

"Yes, Master."

Chu Zhou picked up another account book and asked, "What about the others?" while flipping through it.

“We have purchased all kinds of daily necessities, but they are not as exaggerated as food, and then there are not many medicinal materials.

Mainly because during this period, the demand for medicinal materials in Baisha City was so great that the medicinal collectors were overwhelmed.

As for our Xuanzhen Guan, we have a pure Taoist, so we consume it very quickly, and the price is relatively cheap, so we can only protect our capital. "

At this point, Fan Zhong seemed to have thought of something, and immediately said: "Yes, yes, there is one more thing that I must tell the temple owner!"

"What?"

"Old Mrs. Zhan of the Zhan family, I wonder if the viewer has any impressions?"

An old man who was over a hundred years old but in good health immediately appeared in Chu Zhou's mind. He nodded and said, "I have an impression that the owner of Zhan's Pharmacy is a master of medicine."

"Yes, it's this one. He has been to Xuanzhen Temple before. He looked for me three times and gave me a lot of money. He wanted me to say something to the temple owner."

As soon as he said this, Chu Zhou stopped flipping through the account books. He raised his head, looked at Fan Zhong, and asked curiously: "We don't have many interactions with this person, right?

Moreover, he should know that I am in the government office, why should he ask you to take the message? Can't you just come to me directly? "

"This..., I don't know either!"

Fan Zhong was also very confused, but he still explained: "By the way, I have put all the money he gave me into the treasury and recorded it in the account books. I will show it to the viewers!"

Chu Zhou waved his hand and said, "I won't read it. I still trust Uncle Fan. However, you can use half of the money he gave you to improve your family life."

"Guanzhu..."

"This is not given by them, but given by me. In the future, there may be many such things, and they can all be handled according to this.

However, if you encounter those who secretly collect money and reveal the inside information of Guanzhong, you will be fired or sold out without mercy. "

Fan Zhong also looked serious and said, "Yes! I will make it clear to everyone in the audience."

"Okay, don't be so serious. Tell me, what does this hundred-year-old man want to say?"

"He asked, when will Xuanzhen Temple accept disciples? If possible, he has a great-great-grandson of the right age who can be sent to Xuanzhen Temple to practice martial arts."

"That's it?"

"That's it!"

Chu Zhou was a little stunned. He really didn't expect this to happen, but when he realized it, he couldn't help but admire it.

Good guy, this old man has a long-term vision. Now he wants to climb the big tree of Xuanzhen Temple?

Chu Zhou asked again: "Is it just Mr. Zhan?"

Fan Zhong shook his head: "No, not only no, but many. It's just that the master of the temple never said anything about accepting disciples, so I dismissed them all."

"This apprentice still needs to be accepted!"

Chu Zhou murmured this. He knew in his heart that no one could do it without teaching and strengthening the sect.

However, their brothers and sisters were all too young, and they had never thought deeply about being teachers and teaching disciples before.

But obviously, he didn't think much about it, but many people had already thought about it.

"You can reply to him that Xuanzhen Temple wants to accept disciples, but you have to wait until I come back from Tianquan County."

When Chu Zhou said this, he also set the tone for this matter and even registered it in his heart.

Afterwards, Fan Zhong talked about a lot of trivial matters about Xuanzhen Temple. He also made decisions one by one when Chu Zhou needed to make decisions.

Maybe it’s not long, but now Xuanzhen Temple is the only one in Baisha County, and it has a lot of interests and businesses, and even more trivial matters.

Especially Chu Zhou will leave in a few days, and Fan Zhong has to sort out things.

When Fan Zhong was about to leave after this wave of work, Chu Zhou asked him to invite Wei Jinkui.

After a while, when Wei Jinkui strode in, Chu Zhou just said one sentence, which made him stand still.

"Uncle Wei, I wonder if you are willing to learn the secret martial arts of Xuanzhen Temple?"

I read the book review yesterday, and a reader said that I was not enterprising and had not made any progress. I had to sneer when I read it before.

Because I think that every book I write is not just for fun, but I always want to build a perfect world.

But this time, I am doubting myself again...
