Walking until dusk, the setting sun shines into the inner city, dyeing the houses, streets and pedestrians red, and everyone's shadow is stretched out. Wei Shiqi came empty-handed and returned empty-handed. He waved his sleeves and took nothing with him. This was to be expected, the bars in the inner city were not originally designed for people like him.
He is no longer the young man from the Xiandu sect who carries an iron rod with brute force. Ruan Jing gave him a chance, and he seized it, and he fought his way through the windy and treacherous Liushi Peak. Today, without knowing it, he has joined the ranks of the top people in this world. The opponent who is qualified to compete with him is the direct clan leader, the elder of Kunlun, the elder of Taiyi, the master of the Seven Halls, and the fallen Xu Lingguan. From that moment on, even Pan Chengnian and Chu Tianyou had to face him.
The trip to Liantao City has nothing to do with shopping for treasures or picking up missing items. It is just to show your face and experience the customs and customs of Taiyizong Mountain City with the same name.
He was not disappointed. The bustling city reminded him of many past events, which were the source of familiarity and intimacy to him.
When Wei Shiqi stepped out of the inner city, the news had spread throughout the Seventh Lian Tao Palace. The palace masters and core disciples already knew that the guest invited by the master had come to Liantao Mountain. I walked around Taocheng for a day and asked for two things, but ultimately came back empty-handed.
When we returned to Crane Peak, the sky was full of stars and moon.
Next to the thatched cottage, Chu Tianyou stood leaning on a pillar, listless, and lazily waving his hands at them.
"Have you had a good day? How about Liantao City?"
Partly greetings, part exam, Liantao City is Chu Tianyou's hard work and his proud work. , immortals and mortals live together, mutual benefit and mutual benefit, it is not easy to achieve today's scale.
This is an opportunity to persuade the other party. Wei Shiqi lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "Compared with the inner city, the outer city is more prosperous and full of vitality. The fundamental reason is that there are more transactions and more currency circulation. Faster, more often."
Chu Tianyou was slightly startled, and was greatly surprised. He originally intended to just listen to a few frivolous polite words, but he didn't expect Wei Shiqi to hit the nail on the head. He did not deny this point, nodded and said: "Yes, gold and silver can be used to buy worldly things, and apophysics can be used to buy immortal things. The former is large in quantity and cheap, and is mostly necessities. The latter is expensive, has little demand, and trades Very few. Be it gold, silver, or aphrodisiac, they are just intermediaries, and their existence is useless. The circulation is the joint." Bian Ci opened his eyes and looked at Wei Shiqi and then at Chu. Uncle Master was at a loss and didn't understand what they were talking about.
It is refreshing to talk to smart people. Regarding the transactions in the inner city, it was obvious that Chu Tianyou had carefully thought about it, but failed to find a way to further expand the market. Even though he was ahead of his time, he could not escape the limitations of a monk. Wei Shiqi said: "The lack of transactions in the inner city is a bottleneck that restricts the circulation of aphoplast. If you want to make it bigger and more, you can refer to secular methods and take a multi-pronged approach."
Originally it was just a casual chat. , Unexpectedly, Wei Shiqi came from the wild land of the Western Regions, but was quite insightful. Chu Tianyou was moved by it and said: "Go on."
"I heard from the junior sister on duty at Shanze Hall that the disciples of the Seventh Lian Tao Hall can withdraw fish-eye stones on a monthly basis. The amount varies, and there is always a fixed income. Outside the casual cultivators or small sects, in addition to selling and pledging Of course, there is no other benefit. There are few sources of apophyllite, and the natural expenditure is small. It is human nature to live within one's means. In addition, the quality warehouse appraisal and approval, the price is clearly marked by the four stores, and the four stores established by the Seventh Hall control the transaction, resulting in the main situation of aphoplast. This is a big disadvantage in the internal circulation of Taiyi Sect. In the long run, Taiyi Sect can issue external rewards in the inner city, exterminate monsters, collect materials, find out information, etc., pay a certain amount of aphrodisiac stones, and gradually expand its scale and scope. influence, attracting outsiders to participate, and at the same time abolishing the regulations of unified pricing in quality warehouses, all vendors can set their own prices, buy and sell, and do as they please. "
"That's right," Chu Tianyou said in front of him. At first glance, Wei Shiqi's proposal was not new. This is what the secular market does. What's rare is that he can abandon the monk's aloofness and reserve and see clearly the key.
"Moreover..." Wei Shiqi glanced at Bian Ci and hesitated to speak.
Chu Tianyou became more and more curious, knowing that what he was going to say would not be convenient for her to say in front of her, so he immediately waved his hand. Bian Ci was confused. At this moment, seeing Uncle Chu's signal, he hurriedly pulled the girl to avoid it. . Bian Ya struggled for a while and refused to obey. Wei Shiqi touched her head and whispered a few words in her ear. Bian Ya pouted and followed her sister away obediently, turning back three times every step.
Chu Tianyou knew the details of Bian Ya, and it was strange for her to be so well-behaved in front of Wei Shiqi.
"Is there something you can't say in front of them?"
"...In the inner city, apart from the shops and warehouses, the inns and restaurants are not attractive. , rather than consuming the aphoplasm in a place like this, it is better to go to the outer city. After all, it is much cheaper. However, there are two places. If they can be located in the inner city, it can greatly stimulate the circulation of apaplasia..."
"Where are you going?"
"Casino, brothel."
Chu Tianyou's face condensed, he was silent for a moment, and said: "Human nature is strong and likes gambling, and monks also It is inevitable that the casino will attract a lot of people by betting on fish-eye stones. As for the brothel... why retain people?"
"If they are vulgar and ordinary people, there are also people in the outer city, just like those in the brothel? The woman is a monk herself?"
Chu Tianyou's heart skipped a beat and he said solemnly: "Do you want to shake the foundation of Taoism?"
"The waves are rushing through the sand, the mind is unstable, and the Taoist heart is not stable. Jian, how can you become the foundation of Xuanmen by being addicted to selling gold? When the world is about to change, and when the end is coming, instead of letting them cause trouble, it is better to gather them here, restrain them well, and gather manpower and material resources to fight with all their strength. , so as not to add a layer of corruption to the natural disaster."
These last few words were the intention of Wei Shiqi. The more Chu Tianyou thought about it, the more meaningful it became, and his expression softened a little.
"This junior is just thinking..."
Chu Tianyou waved his hand, interrupted him and said: "You have something to say, don't be humble, even if there is something wrong, Taiyi ZongDon't be guilty of what you say. It's great that you have this knowledge. It's not an exaggeration for me to be in charge of a palace in Liantao Mountain. It's a pity that you are a disciple of Kunlun. "
Wei Shiqi smiled and said: "Swordsmanship and metaphysics have different practices. In the final analysis, they all come from the "Taiyi Foundation Establishment Sutra". Whether it is the Kunlun School or the Taiyi Sect, red flowers and white lotus roots, This is a family. ”
Senior brother Pan Chengnian also mentioned these words. When Chu Tianyou heard this, he couldn’t help but feel a move in his heart. Taiyi Sect has been independent for thousands of years. In this era of great changes, could it be that Hidden turning point?
He looked at Wei Shiqi, nodded slightly, and said: "Let's talk about the unfinished business later. It's urgent, so let's take care of it now. It's late today. You should take a rest overnight to recuperate your energy. Tomorrow I will instruct you to practice the combined attack technique of Yin and Yang. "
"Yes. "Wei Shiqi knew that his heart was moved, and it was good to be moved. Ever since he learned the most fundamental secret of this world, he had been thinking about the way to return to heaven all the time. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Taoist Ziyang had a profound plan. From the changes in Chixia Valley to The rise of the Five Elements Sect has cleared away obstacles step by step. It was only now that he suddenly realized that Taoist Ziyang had been planning for a long time, trying to reunite the Kunlun Taiyi Sect into one to jointly fight against natural disasters.
If it hadn't been for the disaster in the far north, this might have happened.
It's not too late now.
