In February of another year, the Wanbao Market in Yundang Mountain will open. Li Wan, Lin Jingshu, and five children of the younger generation, including Xiao Mo, Xiao Xiaolin, Xing Qingtian, Xing Youtian and others, came here together. .

They plan to buy and hoard treasures here during the fair.

Revisiting the old place, Li Wan and Lin Jingshu looked at each other and couldn't help but smile knowingly.That day, without disturbing the monks from all sides, they quietly went to Yinxian Cave to meet Qi Yerong.

At this time, Qi Yerong was much older than before, but when he heard that Li Wan was coming, he still insisted on coming to greet him in person.

Forget about seeing each other, Qi Yerong sighed: "Li Daoyou, you haven't been here for many years, and today, it's really radiant."

Li Wan smiled wryly, "Your Daoist Qi said that, which made Li feel ashamed."

Qi Yerong turned his eyes to the children in fancy clothes behind the crowd, but his eyes lit up, and he asked, "These are the noble sons and daughters?"

"Hello, grandpa." Li Xing and the others looked at the gray-bearded Qi Yerong, blinked slyly, pretended to be obedient, and saluted him.

"You are really good." Qi Yerong praised, "Li Daoyou, you are so lucky."

Li Wan smiled and said: "These little guys are very mischievous. During the market meeting, I hope that fellow Daoist Qi will help me pay more attention and don't let them go crazy."

Qi Yerong laughed out loud and agreed.

The two chatted for a while, and Qi Yerong arranged for Li Wan and others to settle in the Yinxian Cave, and after busy work, he enthusiastically helped them with their purchases.

With Li Wan's current status, it would be enough to cause a sensation if he publicly appeared at the Wanbao Market Meeting, so this time, they came here in a low-key manner.

This is also the hardship when the family was first established. Many things need to be done by yourself. He has a clear understanding of all matters big and small, and can handle them in an orderly manner no matter how complicated they are, so that they can be properly entrusted to the diners.

After staying at the hotel, Lin Jingshu asked Li Wan: "Wan Lang, what should I do next?"

This place is a small and medium-sized market. Among the things they are in short supply, the Five Elements Spirit Qi, Yiqi Pill, and Qingninglu are the most complete, but there are not many other treasures.

Li Wan pondered for a while, and said: "Don't worry about the ones that don't exist, just let us get what we can, at any cost, and sweep them away! These are the fundamentals of attracting customers. At this time, there is no need to be polite to other aristocratic families. .”

All kinds of treasures that benefit one's cultivation are important materials in the realm of comprehension, and all major forces are scrambling to hoard them. Everyone depends on their own abilities, so there is really no reason to shrink back.

Lin Jingshu smiled and said: "That's much simpler. With our current financial resources, we can still complete the market meeting for this year."

Li Wandao: "It's not difficult, but shallow water can't accommodate Jiaolong. The real big head is still in the chamber of commerce established by Jialan Gate, but when we get there, the competition will be unprecedentedly fierce."

"Then, next, we will go to the big and small bazaars and square markets to find out their respective sources of goods and sources of treasures, and try to establish our own channels as much as possible. In the future, we will send people to stay there to buy at any time."

In the next month, a group of people bought in various stores here, almost clearing out the entire year's inventory.

The surrounding forces are howling, but there is no way, Li Wan and others are now rich in financial resources.

After all, this kind of thing can't last long. In order not to attract others' attention, Li Wan even went to visit Shi Haoguang quietly.

The young daughter of the Shi family, named Shi Yao, was already eight years old at this time, about the same age as Li Wan's eldest son and eldest daughter.

Seeing that she was well-behaved and sensible, Lin Jingshu liked her very much, and gave her a bunch of gifts and gifts of casual cultivators.

But Shi Haoguang seemed to have something on his mind, finally found an opportunity, and said to Li Wan in private: "Li Daoyou, I only have one daughter, and I really don't want her to be like me for most of her life. Look, if there is a chance, can you help me?" Send her to Yuchan Palace?"

Li Wandao: "Fellow Daoist Shi, I understand what you mean. If there is a chance in the future, just send her to the mansion. After my children are 14 years old, I will also let them go to the Yuchan Palace to learn art. When the time comes, they will also go to the Yuchan Palace. If you need a companion, just go together.”

Shi Haoguang was overjoyed: "Thank you Li Daoyou for your success."

Li Wandao: "We met once, it can be regarded as a lot of fate, there is no need for such a fate."

Having said that, as Li Wan's status has become higher and higher, and he hasn't seen him for many years, Shi Haoguang, who was originally quite friendly, has indeed become a stranger.

Li Wan didn't stay for too long at Yundang Mountain's work site. After finishing his work, he continued to tour other fairs and squares as scheduled, spending a lot of Lingyu one after another.

At this time, Xiao Qingning also sent a letter to inform her of the achievements of the past few months. In Yuchan Palace, she took advantage of the opportunity of the flood of demons and received many tasks to kill demons.

These were originally difficult for ordinary alchemy monks to complete, even if they could be completed, the time spent could not be taken lightly. Usually, a task would take more than half a year, or a whole year, which was very troublesome. It's a big killer, it's easy to complete, and it can be done without damage, which is really extremely convenient.

For nearly a year, Xiao Qingning went back and forth and took rest, worked, and was able to earn money steadily every month. Up to now, there are already twelve small skills of D and five small skills of C.

"According to this progress, in about 50 years, we will just get an inferior Lingfeng blessed land."

Li Wan couldn't help sighing after reading Xiao Qingning's letter.

"How can there be such a calculation." Lin Jingshu said angrily, "Sister Ning is not an indefatigable puppet. After a year or two, she should be tired of it. Hurry up to make the dead familiar with this matter, or recruit capable followers. Righteousness is in their hands."

"That's exactly what I mean." Li Wan responded with some regret, "It's a pity that the sect does not allow meritorious service to be traded."

The matter of meritorious service transactions has indeed been brought up all the time, but in order to maintain Lingfeng's aloofness and avoid vicious competition such as cannibalism, coercion and profiteering, the sect has never allowed it.

Not only is it not allowed to buy and sell transactions, but even the merger of merits between the same clan and blood relatives must be based on the identity of the true biography master. Someone accepts the task, and the family and friends help to complete it, instead of transferring the merits after completion.

Moreover, in order to prevent tasks from being taken up, the number of tasks to be accepted at the same time, from one to five, has its own quota. Like Xiao Qingning's first step into this field, he can only complete one by one, which is very inefficient.

This situation cannot be changed for a while, which also makes it not easy to obtain the Lingfeng, and even if it is obtained, the sect has relevant regulations on the succession of the name of the peak master, the maintenance of the Lingfeng and other matters.

Li Wan wrote back to Xiao Qingning, admonishing her to choose tasks carefully and keep a low profile, while continuing to travel around with Lin Jingshu and others, planning to attract customers.

With Li Wan's family business at this time, it is entirely possible to recruit diners and work for him.

However, the quality of the disciples varies from good to bad, and most of them come from reckless casual cultivators or the children of dilapidated families. It is not so easy to be satisfied. If you can't strictly manage the employment, you will even suffer from it in the future.

Li Wan is not worried about luring wolves into the house, or encountering bad people who devour the owner, but he is still helpless when encountering things like eating inside and outside and stealing family wealth.

"To attract disciples, one is to recruit good and righteous men, loyal and brave people, and the other is to have the ability to help the owner. In the future, the children of these disciples will follow our children to become fellow disciples, and gradually develop into vassals. Family, this kind of small family, is another form of existence of disciples."

Li Wan said to Lin Jingshu.

Over the years, he has seen Zhoujia and other places in Zhongzhou, and he has also referred to the experience of many people who started their businesses, so he already knows this matter by heart.

"Existence like this is like the various families of Tiangongfang to Wushan Xiao's family, but the vassals there seem to be a bit too big to lose. Wushan Xiao's family died with Xiao Huangong, and there was no successor, so that slowly decline.

In my selfishness, of course, I don’t want my family to follow in their footsteps, but if I want long-term peace and stability, a successor is a major prerequisite, and having enough strength to control disciples and vassals is also a major prerequisite. The best way is to keep your own children and clan members, With the power of cronies, let them grow up first, and then consider the matter of recruiting customers. Although this will develop slowly, it is also relatively stable.

I plan to spend a full 100 years on this matter. After [-] years, I will introduce more outstanding talents, even monks who form alchemy, so that it will be enough to support a career.

There is an open force in this world, such as Yundang Mountain, Tiangongfang, and Youxian Valley, which are formed by the merger of many parties, and there are even sects and alliances composed of major families, extending to the entire Tiannan, the human race, etc. At the level of monks, it was called "捭" in ancient times.

There is also another conservative strategy to prosper the family, which is dominated by the cronies of the clan and develops in the direction of the traditional aristocratic family, which was called "close" in ancient times.

The secrets of the rise and fall of the family are all in the middle of the family. The key we need to do is to pay attention to the cohesion of the family and maintain the strength of the "close". This theme, now it is not enough to fight against outsiders, so the door-to-door business has to be done slowly.

In fact, these years, I have been making preparations to attract customers. Those who come to pay homage and want to be placed under my sect are excellent targets, but those who feel that their surname and ability are acceptable, I don't put on airs and give pointers. This is to give them kindness, hoping that they will have a heart of repayment, and even take the initiative to vote. During the casual practice, I also have the experience taught by Xing Daoyou. First, let the workshop collect it at a preferential price Their precious material solves many worries, wins their hearts, and then develops in the direction of seeking ghosts.

All of this, to sum up, is done slowly, and when the conditions are ripe, it will naturally happen. "(To be continued.)
