dawn of dynasty

Chapter 152: Spring passes and winter comes, quietly accumulating strength

When a person wants to do something, his own talents are important, but personal connections and information network are equally important. Mr. Feng is undoubtedly an outstanding talent with both.

The key point can be seen from this conversation. Although Mr. Feng is old and is a remnant of the previous dynasty, he is still humble and willing to accept new things - at least he is willing to try to understand, which is rare.

If Mr. Feng can be recruited, Shen Guanye believes that this trading company will definitely be established. Once the trading company is established, business routes are opened, and interests are connected with local forces, he will launch carbonated drinks and other products in the future. When it comes to novel products, it can also go smoothly.

"I wonder what kind of treatment Mr. Feng wants?"

Feng Heng thought for a moment and said:

"I'm too old to do anything that requires too much energy. If Mr. Shen wants to set up a trading company, I'm afraid I won't be able to be the person in charge. At most, I will be responsible for a period of time in the early stage, and someone else may have to take over later."

Shen Guanye nodded slightly.

"In terms of treatment, I want a humble residence. As for the rest, just be the same as the other masters."

Shen Guanye nodded again.

"I understand, but we have to go back and discuss this matter. I will give you an answer within three days. Mr. Feng, I had a great chat today."

He didn't make up his mind on the spot, and there was no look of worry on Feng Heng's face, he was still smiling.

"it is good."

After leaving the place where Feng Heng rented temporarily and walking far enough, Shen Guanye said:

"Dad, what do you think?"

"There are no flaws in the words. Whether it is the old gentleman or Butler Lin, there are no inconsistencies or obvious flaws in the words. It doesn't look like he is lying."

Suddenly someone recommended himself, and this person's level was relatively high - at least not one that the current Shen family could normally match.

In addition, something happened just a while ago...

How could the father and son not be wary of such a pie-in-the-sky thing?

Therefore, from the moment they invited Butler Lin in for tea, the father and son began to cooperate tacitly and began to be careful with their words.

Of course, we should be considerate of the hardship of the elderly waiting outside for a long time on a hot day.

After some testing, neither father nor son found anything wrong.

On Junlan Street, while exchanging opinions with his father, Shen Guanye had an idea of ​​entering the Kingdom of God.

"How about it?"

Shen Guanye asked Shang Kui.

"Back to the Lord, Butler Lin is a fourth-level enlightened person. The warrior path should be a Tongbei boxer. Mr. Feng is a third-level enlightened person. The Confucian path should be a Songhe layman. "

Shen Guanye's expression relaxed.

He noticed that Feng Heng and Butler Lin were both Apocalypse, but neither of them showed their ability, so he could only feel that they were both low-level Apocalypse. He didn't know what level they were, what path they were in, and what profession they were. .

Furthermore, he had no confidence in his own judgment - what if the two of them were actually hidden by masters?
After all, the timing of Mr. Feng's appearance was really strange.

But Shang Kui is different. He is a seventh-level servant god, and his perception ability is much stronger than him. With Shang Kui observing and judging, the possibility of making mistakes is much smaller.

Looking at it now, Shang Kui really lived up to his expectations.

He not only determined the levels of Mr. Feng and Butler Lin, but also determined their specific occupations.

But even so, Shen Guanye still felt that it was not safe enough, so after retracting his thoughts, he said to his father:
"I'm going to ask Governor Bai to find out if there really was such a person around Mr. Zhu."

"You should be more cautious."

Shen Shenghui agreed.

On the other side, in the small courtyard, Mrs. Zhou has put food on the table. Feng Heng, Mrs. Zhou, their grandchildren, and Butler Lin are sitting at the table, eating.

The dishes are not rich, but they are full of color, flavor and flavor. It looks like even the chefs in the county can't make it.

"Old man, do you think Mr. Shen will agree to hire you as his master?"

Mrs. Zhou each filled a bowl of soup, placed it in front of her grandchildren, and then suddenly said.

"It's almost like that," Feng Heng replied, with a chuckle at the end, "Master Zheng, you actually want to have a trip to visit the thatched cottage? You really don't know what to say."

"Thanks to Mr. Shen's good temper, if he had a normal temper, he would have exploded earlier. Let's see, Mr. Zheng will regret it in the future."

"Young Master Shen's future is obviously good, and it cannot be compared with the prefect he used to work with. When he finds out what kind of opportunity he has missed, he will probably regret it to death."

"You might not be able to succeed if you take the initiative to approach such an outstanding person. People have already taken the initiative to come to you, and they even gave you enough face to visit the thatched cottage, and they are still making fun of you. I really don't know who this person named Zheng is. What do you think?"

"But having said that, someone with such a lack of vision is indeed not the material to be a master."

"Maybe I can't let go of my airs."

Zhou said something.

Feng Heng couldn't help but sneer.

"Haha, then just wait until you regret this for the rest of your life. Maybe you are already regretting it now."

Shen Guanye contacted the Bai Mansion that day and asked the Bai family to help inquire. The Bai family was indeed a family of officials, and the news was quickly sent back.

They even directly contacted Mr. Feng’s boss himself—yes, that Mr. Zhu is still alive today.

Mr. Zhu personally confirmed the identity of Feng Heng and his wife. Shen Guanye was completely relieved and quickly hired Mr. Feng as his master.

Shen Guanye only went out when he hired Mr. Feng, and then left all the trivial matters such as finding a house for him to his father.

With the joining of Mr. Feng, the business firm was quickly established.

There was some controversy over the name of the trading house.

Some people suggested calling it "Shen's Trading Company" directly.

This is the naming method used by most business houses in this day and age.

But generally small trading houses would be named this way, and the trading firm that Shen Guanye wanted to establish was not a small trading firm, so this proposal was rejected by most people.

There is also a proposal to call it "Guanye Trading Company".

Shen Shenghui, An Shi, Shen Zhimei, and the old man all had no objections to this name, and even thought it was very good.

Shen Guanye's name was already very good, so it would not be bad if he directly transferred his name to the business firm.

But Shen Guanye felt quite ashamed, so he refused alone.

Later, there were proposals to call them "Zhenlong Trading Company" and "Bilong Trading Company", but they were rejected due to various reasons.

The name finally settled on was "Blue Bird Trading Company".

The blue bird is the three blue birds. It is a legendary mythical beast, but it is not the blue dragon or the white tiger. The powerful and majestic mythical beasts such as the Suzaku Xuanwu are neither popular nor too "big", and they also have beautiful meanings.

When Jade Bird Trading Company was established, many people came to give gifts.

Immediately afterwards, under the operation of Mr. Feng, a group of five immortals appeared at the auction house in Donghai City, causing quite a stir and immediately establishing the name of Jade Bird Trading Company.

Later, under the supervision of Mr. Feng, Jade Bird Trading Company began a series of activities such as acquisition, transportation, and sales, and soon gained a place in the market.

The heroic spirits Shen Guanye obtained from Gong Ziqiang were also put to use.

Although there are many types of heroic spirit lairs in his hand, they are all of low level and lack powerful heroic spirits. Those who want to protect the trading company are far behind when traveling around.

This is not a good thing, the Royal Guards, Mountain Owl Feather Guards, etc. have all come in handy.

With a large number of Royal Forest Guards and Mountain Owl Feather Guards stationed, the possibility of the caravan being robbed is greatly reduced.

As for the Holy Lancers, Holy Cross Swordsmen, and Holy Light Priests, they cannot see the light, so they have to hide.

Not only that, the Shen family welcomed and sent off, and Mr. Feng and Zhou also participated in it, putting forward their own suggestions on what kind of gifts should be given to what kind of people, what kind of gifts should be received, and what kind of gifts should not be accepted.

This work was originally mainly the responsibility of An, but she was just the mistress of a small family, and her experience had come in handy in the past.

Now, as the status of the Shen family has risen sharply, and the status of the people they come into contact with has risen significantly, the original experience is not enough.

At this time, Feng Heng and his wife, who have rich experience, came in handy.

In short, Shen Guanye originally felt that there were so many things at stake, as if he had to work hard everywhere, and he had to do everything personally, but he didn't know where to start.

Just like a pile of colorful and gorgeous silk threads, you know that it will definitely be woven into breathtaking and gorgeous clothes, but it takes a lot of energy to even sort out the threads, let alone weave them into gorgeous clothes.

He does know what to do, and he also knows how to "weave". As an outstanding poverty alleviation cadre in his previous life, he still had this ability.

But he was too preoccupied and couldn't spare the time, so he was delayed until now.Now, the joining of Mr. Feng has changed everything.

With confidence and ease, he sorted out all the threads and started weaving.

All of a sudden, the pressure that had accumulated in Shen Guanye's heart due to irritability was relieved.

All I can say is that talent is rare.

And once you are lucky enough to find talents, your career will take off quickly.

Now, Shen Guanye is extremely lucky that Mr. Feng took the initiative to find him.

Really, having an elder in a family is like having a treasure.

No, Shen Guanye got more than just a treasure. Mr. Feng's wife Zhou and Butler Lin were both very talented, and they later integrated into the Shen family.

……

As spring turns to winter, it snows heavily.

Shen Guanye looked at the heavy snow falling in the sky.

Zhenlong Province is located in the southeast of Tianxia. Although it basically snows every winter, it is mostly light snow, and heavy snow like this is rare.

However, auspicious snow heralds a good harvest.

Shen Guanye walked out of the yard and drove to work in a good mood.

Less than half a year later, Jade Bird Trading Company was completely on the right track.

With five immortals as the foundation and Mr. Feng's planning, Jade Bird Trading Company expanded rapidly and made a lot of money for the Shen family in just six months.

It has also provided many positions for Hongdong County, and some of these positions have been allocated to the young people of Shenjiawu - if you want to start a business, it will definitely not work without your own family.

Most of the rest are recruited from the community.

Shen Guanye, a modern man who was born as a poverty alleviation cadre, naturally couldn't do anything exploitative, and the treatment he was given was much better than what was available in the market.

Even so, Jade Bird Trading Company is still very profitable.

Shen Guanye is not stingy either. He will give dividends and bonuses when he should, especially Mr. Feng, who gave him a lot of bonuses.

Even so, the Shen family saved a lot of money.

In the past few months, the Shen family, whose cash flow was very unhealthy due to the continuous recruitment of heroic spirits born in the five immortal shrines, Liugui Forest, Yincha Tomb, Beiwei Military Camp, etc., had sufficient cash.

Of course, even so, it is not enough to recruit the heroic spirits born from the many nests in the Kingdom of God.

Therefore, he secretly went to Xianzhi City several times and dug a lot of gold mines to maintain the recruitment of many god-type heroic spirits.

In less than half a year, he had collected several groups of heroic spirits.

The gods of the five internal organs all live in the bodies of the father, mother, eldest sister, second sister, third sister, second brother-in-law and the old man.

The Shen family has also gathered three groups of the Five Sacrificial Gods and three groups of the Five Immortals, plus the Huo Zhengyan follower who was arranged by Shen Guanye to stay at home and secretly guard them.

Not only is the entire Shen family impregnable, it is at least the safest place in Hongdong County.

In addition, what makes Shen Guanye happy is that he successfully collected the lower eight gods.

The lower Eight Scenery Gods are not very outstanding in terms of combat effectiveness. Their individual strength is just a step behind the Five Zang Gods, and they do not have the five-element combination attack of the Five Zang Gods.

Of course, this is compared with the Five Zang Gods. Compared with other Level 3 heroic spirits, there are few Level 3 Heroic Spirits that can match the lower Eight Scenery Gods in terms of combat power.

Although not as good as the Five Zang Gods in terms of combat effectiveness, the ability of the lower Eight Scenery Gods to soar into the clouds and ride on the mist is truly outstanding. Not only is it much faster than Shen Guanye's own command to fly, it also does not consume his divine power.

Very practical.

Not only that, the probability of the lower eight gods gathering together in one group is much higher than that of the five sacrificial gods, the five internal organs gods and the five immortals.

Therefore, although the lower Eight Scenery Gods require the gathering of eight gods, the difficulty is actually much lower than that of the Five Sacrificial Gods.

In less than half a year, he had already gathered three groups.

……

Then came his regular job, which was very stable.

The Public Security Bureau and the Hometown Protection Team deal with security incidents every day, and they encounter wild heroic spirits from time to time, but nothing else happens.Under his management, the security of the entire Hongdong County has improved a lot.

It is worth mentioning that Li Yao really has a good talent for martial arts training and has now successfully become a level 1 warrior.

In addition, he is talented, serious and generous in his work. He is quite prestigious among the members of the hometown protection group who were born as porters. Now he has been promoted to captain by Shen Guanye.

There are only three captains in the hometown protection regiment, which is already a very high position.

As for Hongdong Camp, in addition to training, it is also responsible for suppressing bandits.

That's right, bandits.

After Gong Ziqiang died, the big rock on Lu Junxiong's head was gone. He was unwilling to give up his lair, so he came back with his men.

However, he was also aware of Shen Guanye's previous achievements. He knew that Canglang Village, which was even more powerful than him, had suffered defeat at the hands of Shen Guanye, so he did not dare to offend him.

But Lu Junxiong didn't cause trouble for Shen Guanye, but Shen Guanye wanted to cause trouble for him.

Every time the Hongshan bandits came down to rob the mountain, Shen Guanye would send the Hongdong camp to suppress the bandits in advance, so that now, the Hongshan bandits were forced to stay in the village and do farm work - they had no choice but to rely on their own efforts. The food in the village is about to run out.

In fact, with Shen Guanye's current strength, he could go directly to Hongshan Village. With Shang Kui, Gujian Tongzi, and Lady Mo Mei all attending, not many bandits in Hongshan Village could escape.

But Shen Guanye didn't do this because he wanted to train troops.

Hongshan bandits are good training targets.

The strength is not very strong - with him in charge, he can not only prevent the Hongshan bandits from successfully plundering and harming the people in nearby counties, but also ensure that there are no real casualties in Hongdong camp.

But it is not very weak - if it is too weak, it will not have the effect of training troops. In fact, excluding himself, the strength of the Hongshan Bandit is about the same as that of the Hongdong Camp.

The training effect was good. After several long journeys to stop the Hongshan bandits from robbing other counties, the soldiers' willpower improved greatly.

In addition, they have fought against the Hongshan bandits many times with real swords and guns, and their combat effectiveness and combat experience have also increased. Especially the newly recruited group of people quickly transformed from new recruits into qualified soldiers.

Finally, there is his younger brother Shen Guanyu. He secretly followed the original mark to see it a month ago. The situation was not bad.

A lot darker and a lot more mature.

I also made several brothers, and my strength also improved by one level, becoming a level 2 warrior. Even though it is easier to advance as a warrior in the early stage than other ways, this speed is considered very fast.

There is also a very important point. Over the past few months, this boy has survived all the crises he has encountered on his own. The gods of the five internal organs have not appeared once. This boy still does not know that there are five gods living in his body. Woolen cloth.

After I came back and told my family about Shen Guanyu's situation, they felt relieved.

Oh yes, one more thing.

Shang Kui possesses the No. 3 Huo Zhengyan Follower, which was transformed from a Sin-killing Priest.

The Sin-killing Priest is an 8th-level heroic spirit of the temple system, the nemesis of evil. His combat power is very good, and he is ranked at the top level among all 8th-level heroic spirits.

Even if it is not as good as Frost Frost Death Soldier's status among the seventh-level heroic spirits, it is not far behind.

Therefore, the combat power of this Huo Zhengyan servant transformed from the Sin-killing Priest exceeds that of the Huo Zhengyan servant transformed from the Thunder Fairy, and has a combat power equivalent to that of an 8th-level heroic spirit in the middle or upper reaches.

It can be said that all aspects of Shen Guanye's development have been calm and smooth, not at all as thrilling as the previous few months, with crises one after another.

It can be said that Shen Guanye has lived the most peaceful, calm, and stress-free time since he traveled through the world for more than a year.

The only problem is that his own combat power growth has almost stalled.

The growth of merit money is very slow, but it does not mean that new merit money cannot be obtained.

It’s just that after reaching level 4, the amount of merit money required is already very large. In the past, the amount of merit money was considerable, but now if you put it into the merit box, you can only hear a sound.

The two level 4 heroic spirit lairs required for advancement are also missing.

There are also Level 3 lairs for sale by Lord Apocalypse, but there are very few Level 4 lairs, at least Shen Guanye can't access them now.

No wild nests have been found, even though Gu Jian Tongzi and Mo Mei Lady often lead their teams to search for them in the wild.

There is no level 4 lair, so if he wants to advance, he shouldn't even think about it.

The most important thing is No.4 Samurai God.
