Starting from crossing the Fengshen

Next, Jiang Ziya chatted with the old farmer for a long time and also talked to other farmers.

The more he understood, the more he admired Di Qi.

This is a person who surpasses Cheng Tang Saint Group in all aspects, and even his merits exceed those of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

He created simplified Chinese characters, invented paper and books, wrote books such as "The Book of Rites", "The Book of Filial Piety", "The Book of Mathematics", invented various daily and agricultural tools, abolished slavery, eliminated illiteracy, spread military power throughout the country, promoted Tai Chi rice, and so on.

It would take half a day to talk about all the good deeds.

In the words of the common people, the life they live now is the fairy-like life they once imagined.

But how could such a sage king be the ruler of a ruined country, and how could he not be a wise ruler?

If this is not a wise ruler, then what is?
Jiang Ziya was in a state of confusion.

On one hand, it is what Master said, on the other hand, it is what I saw with my own eyes. Which one is true?

It is impossible for Master to deceive himself because Master is a saint.

What he saw before his eyes could not possibly deceive him, so he specially consulted many people, and they found out that this was not how acting was done.

In his daze, he was awakened by a voice.

"Master! Master!"

When Jiang Ziya calmed down, he found himself in front of a luxurious manor. There were guards at the gate, and he was awakened by one of the guards.

This guard had a burly build, strong energy, and was actually an Earth Realm warrior.

Looking at the plaque on the manor, it reads "Song Mansion".

"Excuse me, Taoist priest, this is the Song Mansion. Do you think you are going the wrong way?"

The burly guard bowed and asked politely.

He had looked at the old Taoist priest before. His eyes were lifeless and his feet were walking mechanically. He seemed to have lost his soul.

Jiang Ziya responded by saying, "May I ask if the owner of this house is Song Yiren?"

Song Yiren, his sworn brother.

Unexpectedly, he arrived at the Song Mansion unknowingly, but the manor had changed a lot.

The Song Mansion used to be just a courtyard, and it was quite old. It was nowhere near as grand and majestic as it is now, with red bricks and green tiles, and it is estimated that it covers more than ten acres. It is surrounded by green trees, and even the guards at the gate are Earth Realm warriors.

In the original novel, Song Yiren is described as a man of great wealth, owning hundreds of acres of fertile land, and thirty or fifty restaurants in the city.

In recent years, with Yin Qi's various new policies, Song Yiren also seized the opportunity and his wealth increased rapidly.

After all, it is just outside the city of Chaoge, and the one who is close to the water can see the moon first.

The burly guard said, "That's right. May I ask what can I do for you, Master?"

Jiang Ziya stroked his beard and said, "I am Jiang Ziya, and I am a sworn brother to Brother Song. Please inform him."

"Okay, Taoist priest, please sit here for a while and have some tea. I will send someone to report right away!"

The burly guard nodded and led Jiang Ziya to the pavilion on the west side.

This is for strangers only.

.........

Song Yiren was counting his accounts, and the abacus was clattering loudly.

He was one of the richest businessmen in Chaoge. Not only did he own 53 restaurants of various sizes, he also built 15 factories outside the city. More than 10,000 people depended on him for their livelihood.

Although every restaurant and factory has its own accounting office, he still has the habit of taking inventory once a month.

knock knock!

There was a knock on the door outside the study.

"Come in!"

"Master, there's an old Taoist priest outside the door, claiming to be your sworn brother Jiang Ziya!"

"What? My brother is back."

Song Yiren stood up in surprise, threw down the account book and walked out.

When he arrived outside the mansion and looked at Jiang Ziya, who had a youthful face and white hair, the memories that had already become blurred in his mind suddenly became clear.

He stepped forward excitedly and said, "Brother, my dear brother, you are finally back." "Brother!"

Looking at the excited Song Yiren, Jiang Ziya was also deeply moved.

After not seeing each other for thirty years, the two held hands tightly.

After a long while, Song Yirencai suddenly came back to his senses and said, "Alas, this is not the place to talk. My dear brother, follow me into the mansion."

"Brother please!"

……

Arriving at the main hall, they both took their seats.

Then servants brought a variety of exquisite snacks, preserved fruits, and fragrant tea.

Song Yiren sighed, "It's been thirty years since we last met. My dear brother, you are so cruel that you only came back now. If it had been a few years later, you and I would have been separated by the Yin and Yang."

Jiang Ziya said: "Brother, your words are serious. From my point of view, you still have 50 years to live."

"How did you see that, brother? By the way, brother, what is your current level of cultivation? What skills have you learned?"

Song Yiren asked curiously.

Of course, he didn’t understand these things before.

However, with the rapid development of the newspaper and publishing industries in recent years, information has also experienced an unprecedented explosion, and various common sense of cultivation is no longer a secret.

As the center of the world, countless immortal cultivators have flocked to Chaoge over the years.

As a wealthy businessman, the factory he owned employed hundreds of cultivators.

Although, the highest level of cultivation is only the Golden Elixir.

Jiang Ziya shook his head and said, "I am ashamed. I have practiced Taoism for thirty years and have only just achieved the status of an earthly immortal. Although there are countless magical powers and secret techniques in my sect, I am only interested in the strange arts and numbers, and have not learned much of the others."

"My dear brother is actually an earthly immortal!"

Song Yiren was very surprised, but he didn't care about Jiang Ziya's "self-deprecation". He said happily: "My dear brother, the court is now actively recruiting powerful cultivators. With your cultivation level, you will definitely become a high-ranking official in the Martial Palace.

Even if you don't enter the Martial Palace, you can go to the weapon refining industrial zone or the alchemy industrial zone, both of which have bright futures.

At worst, it won’t be a problem to serve as an official in the imperial court.”

Because of business matters, he had frequent dealings with the Martial Palace, the Equipment Refining Industrial Zone, and the Alchemy Industrial Zone, and therefore knew some of the situations in these three places.

If an earthly immortal goes, he will immediately become a high-ranking official and be directly responsible to the king.

If you can gain the king's appreciation, you will have a bright future.

Jiang Ziya asked, "Brother, I know about this Martial Palace. I have talked about it with someone before. But what are these weapon refining industrial zone and alchemy industrial zone? Why are they worth your recommendation?"

Song Yiren smiled and said, "My dear brother, these are two good places. I believe you saw all kinds of trucks and cars on the road before. They were originally pushed out from the Refining Industrial Zone.

In fact, all kinds of civilian magic tools were first produced in the tool refining industrial zone.

Later, the king issued an order allowing the equipment refining industrial zone to license the civilian equipment refining techniques. I also seized the opportunity and purchased the car refining method. Now I make billions of profits every year.

It is said that the current equipment refining industrial zone has over one million equipment refiners, and there are dozens of them in the fairyland.

It can be used to refine low-grade spiritual weapons, and it can be used to refine large warships.

And he is directly responsible to the king.

As for the alchemy industrial zone, it is even more amazing.

Nowadays, 99% of all kinds of elixirs on the market come from the alchemy industrial zone. It is said that there are more than 500,000 alchemists there, and more than a dozen large trucks are shipping medicines every day.

Although I, your elder brother, do not practice cultivation, I take a Jingyuan Pill every day to replenish my energy and spirit and delay aging.

And one Essence Pill is worth ten low-grade Spirit Stones."

Jiang Ziya was confused.

Two million weapon refiners and more than half a million alchemists, this is simply incredible.

You have to know that in the past, it was already amazing to find fifty weapon refiners and ten alchemists in the entire Chaoge.

From this, we can imagine how terrifying the power of the Shang Dynasty is today.

Can Xiqi replace the Shang Dynasty? (End of this chapter)
