"Su, go pick up some useful ashes as this month's allowance for you, Julie, Malte, Morty and the others."
The next morning, in the original Huang family residence on Fengshan Street, Jiang Xia just got up and saw Su busy outside the door. They were going to bring some data equipment back to Fengyang County from Fengshan Mine today.
By the way, I also need to bring back the harvest this time.
Jiang Xia finished brushing his teeth beside the old weeping willow, turned his head and said something to Su, and also reminded him:
"Let Jasmine pick another one. She was chosen as the best employee last month, but she wasn't given any reward. Let's just make up for it this time."
"Hmm? Boss, this is useless."
Su stood up and said to Jiang Xia:
"There is no spiritual energy in the wasteland. My brothers' magical powers are useless."
"Who said that?"
Jiang Xia glared at Su and said:
"Don't you have spiritual energy in your body? But can't you still use the projection ability? This thing is not what you think it is. It needs spiritual energy to activate it.
Liu Hui said so much before, didn't you remember it? "
"That monster talks too much."
Sue replied somewhat awkwardly.
Indeed, Liu Hui was quite silent at first, maintaining the dignity of a monster. But after getting familiar with them recently, she started talking more and more, and it was obvious that she was a wolf monster.
The result is that he is as lively as a husky.
"All right."
Jiang Xia rubbed his forehead and explained:
“You can roughly think of this thing as a reinforcement patch for the human body. There is a kind of magical power that acts on the body itself.
Like an eagle's wings, a cheetah is specialized for speed.
Once this kind of supernatural power is obtained, it will be a permanent enhancement.
Of course, there are also those that require spiritual energy support, such as Liu Hui's ability to control the wind for a long time.
Don't pick that category.
In a world without aura, their effects would be minimized.
So, when you go to choose, choose the superhuman enhanced ash, such as thick skin, strong bones, self-healing, claw mutation, etc. It can also be regarded as a gift from me to the Black Hand. "
"Okay, boss, I'll go right away."
Su nodded, turned around immediately to look for her, and called the sleepy-looking Jasmine over as well.
Jiang Xia took over his work and loaded the equipment that Jasmine had packed last night into the prepared carriage. Liu Hui burned three ashes last night and was jumping up and down in pain.
But this silly monster is lucky.
She actually got all three magical powers she wanted, which was equivalent to winning three times in roulette. Her luck was so good that even Boss Jiang couldn't believe it.
But this time, it is still on another carriage.
He was lying on his back among a pile of goods, holding a bag of snacks, and groaningly saying that he was resting.
But in Lao Jiang's view, it is just slacking off.
However, this silly monster did use his innate magical powers in the Red Moon World. The power was so great that it overturned a castle and killed ghost monsters.
It said that it felt like it had been drained dry, and that it needed a few days of recuperation before it could use the wind again. Therefore, everyone had to take a carriage back from Fengshan to Fengyang County.
The motorcycle left behind by the Black Hand Society is still there.
But that thing, what can I say?
It's a bit eye-catching, and Fengshan doesn't produce oil.
Therefore, it is usually sealed in the warehouse of Ruyifang Market in the county town and will only be used in emergencies.
"Liu Hui's innate magical power can be gentle or explosive, and its power is quite strong. It's quite interesting."
Jiang Xia sat in the carriage, closed his eyes and rested, thinking:
"That silly monster let slip last time that he had two innate magical powers. So besides controlling the wind, what was the other one? Every time we talk about this, he would change the subject.
Humph, our silly monster also has his own secrets.
It seemed to hate the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect very much.
I don’t know what the elder who tamed it did to it...hiss, from a monster’s perspective, Liu Hui can be considered pretty.
But he is a monk, and an elder, so he shouldn't have such a strong taste, right?"
As he was thinking, Jiang Xia's gaze fell on the box at hand again.
Su marked "valuable items" on it.
In fact, what is contained inside is classified ashes. Judging from Shi Liu's reaction last night, once these things enter the cultivation world, they will inevitably cause an uproar.
This also caused Jiang Xia to feel another kind of worry.
He is weak now, and he still has to deal with the Mo Shuang Mountain incident. He really doesn't want to attract attention, and based on his judgment of the consumption capacity of the Fengming Kingdom's cultivation world.
This remote and poor place in the cultivation world simply does not have the ability to consume this batch of ashes internally.
Jiang Xia had no intention of selling his good things at a low price.
Wang Liufu said that Mo Shuang Mountain has its own stores in markets all over the cultivation world, selling magical instruments and treasures. If we can use their sales channels, then the problem will be solved.
But doing so would expose the secret of the small spiritual world that he holds.
It's really a dilemma, and I'm very bald.
Jiang Xia lay in the carriage, thinking hard.
Is there a way that I can sell these ashes and exchange them for the materials I need for practice without being exposed or attracting attention?
Oh, right.
There is another item that I plan to sell in the spiritual world, and I also need to think of a way to open up sales channels.
most……
It is best to establish your own sales network at the same time. This crucial link should not be delegated to others if possible.
With this thought in mind, Jiang Xia was very silent all the way back to the city. Of course, it was also because he was practicing the Su Yi Sutra on the way. He had set the goal of becoming a monk, so he couldn't be lazy. This was a matter related to his own life.
However, the "sugar beans" spirit-gathering pills on him were almost used up.
If he couldn't take drugs, the speed at which he absorbed spiritual energy from heaven and earth for cultivation would suddenly slow down several times, making Jiang Xia very uncomfortable.
It was two days later when he returned to the county town.
The speed of the carriage was really too slow and it was a waste of time. Jiang Xia changed his clothes in the study of Liu's house and wondered whether he should go to Wang Liufu to ask for a few earth-moving disks to be distributed to his subordinates.
Just as he was thinking about taking a shower, the boss of Kunlunfang and his loyal subordinate Lao Si came running to report on his work.
"Boss, during the three days you were away, Master Craftsman Malte was working overtime, and that stupid prince Shi Rui even went to help.
I saw that he operated the machine tool very professionally and looked very happy.
He mingled with a group of craftsmen and didn't put on airs at all.
Miss Jasmine has also selected more than a dozen orphaned carpenters who are willing to sign death contracts, and implanted magical instruments in their brains to help Master Craftsman Malte.
But it will take at least one or two months to produce this batch of weapons."
In the study, Liu Laosi, who was dressed elegantly and looked very proud, was talking to Jiang Xia, who was lying on the armchair with his eyes closed.
It's equivalent to announcing good news.
After all, during the two or three days that Jiang Xia was there, all the work in Ruyifang City went very smoothly.
In his hands were a few pieces of paper covered with words, which were summaries of the work during this period. Regardless of whether Lao Si was capable or not, at least his work attitude was very positive.
Jiang Xia, who had just returned from a long journey, was very satisfied.
"I won't talk about that."
Jiang Xia waved his hand and said:
"Mart and Jasmine, I'm relieved. Let's talk about the others. Are the old managers of Ruyifang still using them smoothly?"
"good."
The fourth brother pursed his lips, a dim light flashed in his left eye, and said:
"Most of the people who are honest and work hard have been implanted with the 'Struggler' chip, but there are also some who try to cheat and be cunning.
Miss Julie checked the accounts and found many loopholes. Those guys who stole money from us pretended to be stupid and bullied us because we came from the mountains and couldn't understand the account books.
But he was exposed by Miss Julie in front of him, Boss, our chip magic weapon is really useful. For example, when it comes to doing calculations, it is completely different from the abacus.
Miss Julie checked the accounts of Ruyifang for two or three years in one morning. Those who stole the money have been sent to Fengshan to mine. I plan to replace them with the accountant on Fengshan Street. "
"You don't have to tell me this."
Jiang Xia nodded and said:
"You are the chief manager, and the appointment and dismissal of personnel are in your hands. Julie and Jasmine are all there to assist you. You just need to know what you should do.
Now this is also your own property. If you don't take it seriously, it's your own money that is lost. I will become a monk, and worldly money is of no use to me.
I don’t feel bad.”
"Well, don't worry, boss!"
The fourth brother straightened his back, patted his chest and said:
"For a humble person like me to be able to achieve my current status is something I never dared to imagine. I will definitely do my best to help you, the boss, manage Kunlun Square."
"Old Four, I trust your loyalty, so you don't have to keep saying it."
Jiang Xia shook his head and said:
“You are the head shopkeeper, you are the boss, don’t let too many people know about my existence. Also, Ruyifang used to be a one-legged business, although it also did other businesses.
But the core is still the spiritual mine business.
This won't work.
We at Kunlun Square must learn a lesson. In addition to the mining industry, we must also keep the arms business in mind. Although we only have one client now, the Fengming Kingdom court, it is hard to say what will happen in the future.
You are personally in charge of this department.
Let me tell you, the arms business will always be the most profitable business in the world.
Of course, all the necessary decorations are needed, and other businesses left in Ruyifang must continue to be done, such as rice, cloth, etc. We are selling murderers, so naturally our hands must be stained with blood.
Reputation is very important, so other businesses might as well give some profits to the people and leave them a good reputation, which can also be used to wash away the blood on their hands in the future.
It would be best if these businesses could be monopolized.
If you can’t, don’t pursue profits too much.”
"I understand, boss."
The fourth one nodded vigorously and said with his own understanding:
"Those street money lenders who make dirty money also know how to help the poor and earn a reputation. It's a face-saving job. I understand, so the boss doesn't have to worry.
Also, Julie has an idea and asked me to pass it on to the boss ."
The fourth brother told Jiang Xia about Julie's idea about the Striver Chip. Jiang Xia frowned as he listened. After a few breaths, he said:
“Well, Julie’s vigilance is good and her idea is good. It seems that the slave chip does more harm than good. Let’s do as she says.
I'll go to the wasteland in a few days and bring back a batch of normal chips.
Just follow what she said and build the internal welfare system. Let Jasmine do this. She is a mechanic and has worked in the Eternal Life Society before, so she should be very familiar with this."
"Okay, boss, I'll tell her right away."
The fourth brother responded, took a few steps back, turned around and said:
“That, Boss, might be my illusion.
But I feel that Miss Julie doesn't seem to want to stay with us. She assigned all the work on hand to her apprentices today.
Looks like he's planning to give up."
"Hmm? There's still this?"
Jiang Xia opened his eyes and looked at Lao Si suspiciously. He said:
"Have you bullied her recently?"
"How dare I bully her? I'll be thankful if she doesn't bully me."
The fourth brother touched his arm with a sigh, as if he recalled some unbearable memories. He said:
"No one bullies her, boss. I've talked to her, but I don't really understand her thinking. She always says that it's too quiet here.
It was so quiet that it frightened her a little.”
"All right."
Jiang Xia nodded and said:
"Don't worry about it. I can probably guess what she's thinking. I'll ask Su to counsel her. Kunlunfang has just opened, and Ruyifang hasn't taken over yet.
Julie is a general, how can she sneak back to the wasteland to be lazy?
There you go.
Go back and rest early after you finish your work, don’t keep Mrs. Niu waiting anxiously.
Let me tell you, Fourth Brother, Mrs. Niu has helped us before. She is one of us. Whatever happens between you and her is your private matter.
But if you still can't control your two ounces of meat and still want to bully her, I will support her and cut off your alive. Anyway, it won't affect your earning money. "
The fourth brother laughed awkwardly.
He thought that the boss knew everything, even what happened between him and Mrs. Niu, but he didn't say much, pushed open the door and walked out.
Jiang Xia also stood up, planning to take a shower and rest early, but after taking a few steps, he turned his head and looked outside the door.
He frowned and said:
"Come in! What are you doing standing at the door?"
The next moment, the door opened and Ruyue, who was dressed very elegantly in a black long skirt, walked in with her head lowered. When Jiang Xia saw her, he frowned and asked:
"What? Are you here to sleep with me again? Woman, do you like to offer yourself to me so much?"
"No, it's not."
Ruyue was a little afraid of Jiang Xia. She looked up at the boss, then quickly lowered her head and said weakly:
"There is something I think I should tell my boss.
It’s…it’s about Liu Bao.
I didn’t dare to say it before, and I did something wrong, so my boss disliked me. But if I’m not mistaken, Liu Bao has a treasure, and it should still be hidden in his yard.”
