The Rise of the Cultivation Family

Chapter 352 The family’s new source of wealth

Four days later, several people successfully returned to Yunwu Mountain in Yunzhou.

Yun Zuxuan and Yun Zuxian had discussed long ago that the Wanli Messaging Snail was mainly for Yun Yongzhu to contact his family, so they gave the Wanli Messaging Snail to Yun Yongzhu on the way.

As for the flying magical weapon Yunzhou, they handed it over to the clan leader Yun Shichang after they returned, and ordered the clan leader to use the magical weapon as soon as possible.

After Yun Shichang learned a little about Yun Zhou's characteristics, he sent a message to the family elders and several stewards, summoning them to meet in his cave hall for discussion in three days.

During these three days, Yun Yongzhu was not idle either. He initially refined the Wanli Communication Snail and learned about its use.

Just because there is no other conch magic weapon that can be used for communication, Yun Yongzhu can only keep it in his dantian at present.

Three days later, in the cave of patriarch Yun Shichang, family elders and family stewards entered the meeting hall one after another.

Yun Yongzhu, Yun Zuxian, and Yun Zuxuan also knew that the clan leader was going to discuss Yun Zhou's affairs today, and they all planned to come and listen, so that they could share their thoughts.

Although Yun Daichen and Yang Liu'er were already the core figures of the family, Yang Liu'er was about to give birth and it was difficult to go out. Naturally, Yun Daichen did not dare to leave at will because his wife was about to give birth.

Yun Yongzhu and three others arrived outside Yun Shichang Cave Mansion at about the same time.

"My child has met two great-grandfathers!"

"No need to be polite, just go in."

After seeing the ceremony, Yun Yongzhu followed Yun Zuxuan and the others into the clan leader's cave and headed to the meeting hall.

Soon after, seeing two elders in the foundation building stage appearing together outside the meeting hall, the patriarch and the core members of the family stood up and saluted.

As a junior, Yun Yongzhu still nodded politely to the family elders as a greeting even though he had already established a foundation.

"Okay, everyone, sit down, Chang'er, let's get started."

In addition to the three foundation-building monks and clan leaders, the attendees at this meeting were also five family elders: Yun Shifan, Yun Shiyuan, Yun Shiqian, Yun Shiqiong, and Yun Daifeng.

In addition, there are core family figures such as Yun Shijin, Yun Shize, Yun Shilin, Yun Shihuan, Yun Daihao, and Yun Daixian.

A total of 15 people gathered together. After all, what happened today was related to the family's major issue of developing an industry, so as long as he was in the family, Yun Shichang would be informed.

Seeing that everyone was seated according to their status, Yun Shichang clasped his hands on the table and said:

“The main reason I asked you to come here today is to discuss the family’s new business.

I already told you during the summons that this new industry is related to a first-class high-grade flying magic weapon. "

Then, he explained the Yunzhou's origin, size, material, and embedded formations.

"This Yunzhou is a rare medium-sized flying spirit boat that can carry hundreds of people. This is a way to make money. Do you have any other ideas for making money?"

As the elder in charge of all the family's business, Yun Shiqiong has a strong say in this matter. He tapped his fingers on the table and said:

"Passenger transport business is a good idea, but we must first determine the destination of the flight, and the departure and return times must also be regular. This will make it more convenient for other people to take our flying spirit boat."

Others also chimed in with their thoughts.

"It's too troublesome to transport people. It would be better if we could just deliver goods."

"Other families have their own caravans. If delivering goods to small families or casual cultivators, wouldn't it be more troublesome than carrying people?"

"Forget about delivering goods, I think we need to form a fleet to escort them. Otherwise, the business of transporting people and passengers will not be easy."

"No one in Yunzhou has this kind of business. If the price is lower, we should be able to make some profits every month."

"It's too early to talk about pricing now. Let's first decide on the route according to my fifteenth brother's idea. Where will it start?"

"The family already has a caravan. I wonder if we can convert the caravan directly into a fleet?"

Everyone was talking to each other, and they were very interested in and surprised by the family's new financial resources.

Yun Shichang knocked on the table and interrupted everyone's speech.

Said: "Based on what you said, in order to do this business, there are several issues such as routes, safety and pricing. Let's solve them one by one. Let's talk about Yunzhou's routes first. How do you think it should be arranged?"

“The first is the starting point, which should be somewhere that most people know and are familiar with.”

"I think Yunzhou City is quite suitable. There are many people there, and casual cultivators should know about it even if they have never been there.

"Indeed."

When Yun Yongzhu heard this, he couldn't help but said: "Actually, Yunzhou City is only about 420 miles away from our Yunwu Town. It is best to start directly from Yunwu Town."

He actually has other ideas, which he will put forward later. At this time, the starting point must be explained.

Everyone looked at Yun Yongzhu in confusion, waiting for him to tell the reason why the starting point was Yunwu Town.

"The starting point is set at Yunwu Town. Many people will know this place. As time goes by, our Yunwu Town will gradually become prosperous.

When there are more people, we can set up a defensive formation outside the town and arrange for people to sit in the town, and even Yunwufang City can become the eighth largest city in Yunzhou. "

Although Yun Yongzhu was young before his rebirth, he knew that airports, train stations and other places were generally surrounded by hotels, hotels, restaurants, small restaurants, shopping malls and other profitable shops.

There are definitely more than seven cities in Yunzhou Prefecture, but there are many monks in these seven cities, so they are all famous in Yunzhou, and the main city, Yunzhou City, is even more famous in the entire state.

The reason why these seven cities of cultivating immortals are famous in Yunzhou is actually inseparable from the maintenance, support and control of the forces behind them.

As for Yunwu Town, although it has developed somewhat due to the attraction of the Yun family's elixirs and spiritual fruit wine, some monks often come here to trade, and some even have plans to settle down.

But these are just individual cases. Overall, most monks still go to the seven major cities of cultivating immortals to look for spiritual resources.

After all, there are very few tradable materials in Yunwu Town and there are not many opportunities to make money.

The most important thing is that there is not even a foundation-building monk in Yunwu Zhenfang City, and naturally there is no defensive formation.

This is the important reason why Yunwu Town cannot develop.

After Yun Yongzhu finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but ponder. This starting point did have the hidden benefit of attracting people.

When there are more monks, the income of the market will naturally increase a lot.

In fact, the most important thing is that they have never been exposed to the business of carrying people on a spiritual boat, so they did not think of this.

When Yun Yongzhu said this, everyone suddenly became enlightened and wondered why they had not thought of such benefits.

"Xiaojiu's words are very reasonable. Yunzhou's starting point and destination are both in Yunwu Town. Let's set the destination now."

Yun Zuxian made a decision on the starting point and end point of Yunzhou's route.

"This destination can be one or multiple. How about connecting the seven major immortal cultivation cities in Yunzhou from near to far?"

"Fifteenth brother, this is a good idea. In the early stage, we will run like this a few times. Once the reputation of our spiritual boat in Yunwu Mountain is established, we will look at the situation and decide whether to change the route."

"Clan leader, are we only allowed to run within Yunzhou?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Shichang looked at his two clan uncles, Yun Zuxian and Yun Zuxuan, and said, "Two uncles, what do you think?"

Yun Zuxian thought for a while and replied: "Yun Zhou's defense is good, so it's okay to go farther."

However, Yun Zuxuan had a different opinion. He responded: "It is better to be safe and run around the country first. After all, this business has just started now. Let's wait and see after accumulating a few or more than ten years of experience.

There is also this Yunzhou, which just allows the tribesmen to study carefully during this period of time. How to fend off enemies with the formations on it, how to extend the use time of the formations, etc., they all have to spend time to explore. "

Everyone thought about it and realized that Yunzhou is vast, with the maximum distance from east to west, north to south, exceeding ten thousand miles. This spirit boat is not known for its speed, so it is enough to run within Yunzhou.

If you go overseas, the risk will be much higher, and this is a new industry. You really have to be more careful when crossing the river by feeling for the stones.

Yun Zuxian then nodded in agreement with Yun Zuxuan's idea.

"In that case, let's talk about how to charge for this business. The seven immortal cities in Yunzhou are located at different distances. How should they be priced?"

Everyone was thinking about the question raised by the clan leader. They had no reference and it was not easy to evaluate it.

Fifth Elder Yun Shifan considered it and said, "Why don't you charge the price of one spirit stone first? As long as you board our spirit boat, you will be charged one. After all, we don't know if this business is good or not." "One spirit stone?" Will this be too little? It will be difficult to raise prices in the future."

Yun Zuxian, who has more experience, said: "One spirit stone is really too little. The farthest place from Yunwu Town is the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, which is eight thousand miles away. Ordinary casual cultivators would have spent at least forty days in the past."

After a pause, he continued: "Just charge according to the distance. From Yunwu Town to Yunzhou City, we charge one pound of low-grade spiritual rice. Other spiritual items of the same value are also acceptable.

From Yunzhou City, go to Yunjin Mountain to collect two spiritual stones, and from Yunjin Mountain to Yunfu City, collect three spiritual stones.

From Yunfu City to Wuyou City, from Wuyou City to Ten Thousand Flowers Valley, and from Ten Thousand Flowers Valley to Yunmeng City, one and a half spirit stones will be collected.

Yunmeng City goes to Xiangyun City to collect three spirit stones, and Xiangyun City goes to Yunwu Mountain to collect one and a half spirit stones.

The fee will be charged wherever you board the boat. If you go from Yunzhou City to Wuyou City, there will be a total fee of six and a half spirit stones. "

After speaking, Yun Zuxian looked at everyone and asked for their opinions: "Do you think my idea is feasible?"

Some shook their heads, some nodded.

The man who shook his head said: "It is estimated that there are still a few people who are willing to pay for these six and a half spiritual stones to Wuyou City, but if you go from Yunzhou City to Xiangyun City, you will need twelve and a half spiritual stones. The casual cultivators should rather I have to travel more than ten days and I don’t want to take our spiritual boat.”

"There is also Yunfu City. It is only more than 700 miles from the main city to Yunfu City, but from Yunjin Mountain to Yunfu City, it has increased by nearly [-] miles, and the cost of three spiritual stones has also been increased out of thin air. The same is true for Yunmeng City .”

"Should we change this route again?"

The patriarch Yun Shichang got up and went into the side hall to get a map of Yunzhou Prefecture. The map marked some adventure holy places in Yunzhou as well as places where some precious elixirs and monsters appeared.

The seven major forces in Yunzhou Prefecture, including the location of Yunwu Mountain, are naturally among them.

Yun Yongzhu looked at the large map spread out on the table and linked the previously discussed routes one by one to form a closed loop.

And the route is perfectly planned, with no overlap between the routes.

The only thing that can be changed is the order, whether to go to Yunjin Mountain or Xiangyun City first.

But on the other hand, we still have the same problem. The destinations at the bottom of the queue always suffer more.

The hall felt a little dull for a while, and no one could think of a good idea.

After a while, Yun Yongzhu said: "Elders, this is our first time doing this business, so why not just follow this route and test the water according to the charging standards of Master Jiu.

It's a bit expensive, but it's comfortable, and the safety of riding a spirit boat will be greatly improved.

This period of time is also a good time to find out the traffic situation of monks in various places. If there is no profit from doing so, then directly arrange the spirit boat to go to places where there are many monks. "

When everyone heard this, it was indeed true. This business has not started yet, so it is useless to think about it. We can only use the actual income data to speak.

"Okay, that's it. Let's solve Yunzhou's safety issue."

Everyone started a heated discussion on this issue, one word at a time and one at a time.

The previously mentioned matter of converting the caravan into a fleet was ruled out because the family caravan was not a fixed group of people.

Only when the family has accumulated enough goods will they organize manpower and hire casual cultivators to form a team to protect the caravan.

Discussing this issue at this time reveals the shortcomings of the Yun family's lack of manpower and high cultivation level.

Because the family has opened a total of ten Yunxiao Pavilion stores, except for Yunwu Town below the mountain gate, there are at least three clan members in each store. In total, more than 30 people have visited.

The key is that these people are all relatively high-level clan members in the family. There are not many young people left, and most of them are in the family guard team.

This escort team has the important task of guarding the family's mountain gate and territory, and they cannot be randomly selected to form a escort team.

"Why not hire casual cultivators? As long as you sign a good contract, there will be no risk of betrayal."

The person who said this was Yun Shize. As the steward of the family task hall, he was also responsible for issuing monthly reports. Naturally, he knew that most of the younger generations who stayed in the family were in the early or middle stages of Qi training.

"Uncle Seventh's method works. We can also send people to the affiliated families to see if they have any manpower."

"Then as you said, we will recruit some people from the family, as well as the children of the affiliated families and hired casual cultivators. Chang'er, you should arrange for people to form this escort team as soon as possible. The number should be more than 30 people."

After Yun Zuxian finished speaking, he added: "In addition, people on this Yunzhou must be familiarized and trained as soon as possible. When the convoy is formed, I will accompany it and sit in charge. When everything goes well, I will withdraw."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but feel relieved. With the escort of a monk in the middle stage of foundation building, and the defensive nature of Yunzhou itself, the possibility of encountering danger would be greatly reduced.

The meeting was almost over here, when Yun Yongzhu spoke.

"Elders and juniors, I still have some ideas to say. You can discuss whether it is feasible."

Everyone looked at this outstanding junior and motioned for him to continue.

Yun Yongzhu cleared his throat and continued: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. Our business currently lacks visibility. No one knows about it, so naturally there will be no business. I think we can do some publicity before officially launching the business."

Everyone nodded, of course they wanted this, but Yun Yongzhu suggested it as a way to publicize it.

Sure enough, Yun Yongzhu said: "Actually, it's not troublesome, just prepare the advertising posters and distribute them.

The advertising painting is to draw Yunzhou on paper, and write on the paper that Yunwushan will start a passenger transport business, and write down the route and cost of Yunzhou's flight.

It just so happens that every city has a store in Yunwu Mountain, so we can just let the store manager take charge of this matter. "

"What a great idea! Do you have any other ideas? Tell them."

Yun Shiqiong was pleasantly surprised. He was thinking about how to let other monks know about his spiritual boat business.

"Ahem, I don't know exactly how many people the spirit boat can accommodate, but it is undoubtedly very large, and the monks within the territory cannot often travel to various cities, so this gives us room to operate the spirit boat."

"How to operate?"

"We can completely divide the spirit boat into two areas and two levels, VIP cabin and ordinary cabin."

"You mean the VIP cabin has better conditions and can charge more?"

Yun Yongzhu nodded and continued: "The size of the cabins can be the same, but the decoration inside is different, and the ordinary cabin is not a room for one person, but a room for multiple people. This difference must be reflected in a way, and the more exaggerated the better. "

His stay in the sect is not fruitless. Some people just love face and show off. His method should be able to scratch the itch of such people.

"Xiaojiu, your mind is so flexible. How did you come up with this?"

“Hey, uncle Nineteen, you’ll know if you meet more people.

Also, if the spirit boat is in the sky for a long time, it can also become a mobile Yunxiao Pavilion for doing business. As for the goods, this needs to be carefully considered. "

In Yun Yongzhu's opinion, monks who are really strapped for money would rather travel hard than spend spirit stones on a spirit boat, so monks who take a spirit boat are their potential customers.

"Haha, Nineteenth Brother is right. Xiaojiu, your mind is really lively! Do you have any other ideas?"

Yun Yongzhu shook his head slightly, hesitated, and then said: "I wonder if you elders know how to pre-sell?"

"Beast control? What does the beast control have to do with Lingzhou's business?"

Everyone was a little confused and their eyes were blank, indicating that they did not understand what he meant.

Yun Yongzhu was stunned for a moment, then when he realized what he was doing, he couldn't help but clench his fist to cover his unconcealable smile.

"Ahem, what I'm talking about is pre-sale. For example, airship tickets are sold in advance. When the time spirit boat arrives, the monk who bought the ticket can board the spirit boat with the ticket."

Only then did everyone understand what Yun Yongzhu meant, and they all looked at him with admiration.

"This has to be decided after the business starts. If the business is good, pre-selling tickets is a good way."

"It's true. If business is not good, others won't be willing to spend the money first. Anyway, there is always a place."

When everyone asked Yun Yongzhu again, Yun Yongzhu just shook his head, saying that he had nothing to say.

So not long after, this important meeting about the family's new industry and new financial resources came to an end.
