In Douluo, Wuhun holds the Tianping
Chapter 211: Inspecting the Wine City
"Okay, if you have nothing else, go back quickly and don't get in the way here." Lou Gao saw that the time was almost up and said to Li Xuan in a bad mood.
Lou Gao also knew that Li Xuan still had a lot of things to deal with, so he didn't try to keep Li Xuan.
"Mr. Lou, I'll come see you again later. I'm going back first." Li Xuan smiled and nodded at Lou Gao, then turned and left.
After walking out of Fentian Pavilion, Li Xuan got on the carriage and left Qicheng. After all, he did have a lot of things to deal with and didn't have time to stay here.
After leaving Qicheng, Li Xuan thought for a while, then drove the carriage towards Jiucheng.
The Instrument City is responsible for the fifth-order Sky-shaking Cannon and is responsible for responding to battles, while the Wine City's sideline business is winemaking, which will become the pillar industry of the Radi Canyon in the future.
Of course, this was only the pillar industry before the emergence of elixirs. Once elixirs came out, nothing would have as high a profit as elixirs!
The wine city is managed by the Tao family, and Li Xuan happened to come here for an inspection.
……
Soon, Li Xuan drove the carriage to the gate of Jiucheng.
Looking at the Wine City, which was about the same size as Qi City, Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction.
There is no building similar to the Burning Heaven Pavilion in the Wine City. After all, brewing wine is different from forging and does not require underground fire, so it is relatively simple to build.
Li Xuan took a look at the blueprint. There were thirty-six wine-making factories in the wine city. They were very large in scale, and there were also corresponding supporting factories.
As for the underground of the wine city, there are three floors of huge wine cellars with a total area of 100,000 square meters, which can store a large amount of wine.
The temperature in the wine cellar is just right, which is most suitable for storing wine.
The wine city is now managed by the Tao family. After all, the Tao family is the only one under Li Xuan who knows how to make wine.
Unlike Lou Gao, the Tao family are Li Xuan's own people. The Tao family are all slaves bought by Li Xuan, and they are also quite afraid of Li Xuan.
The scene of Li Xuan burning those slaves to death with the Burning Heart Seal was still lingering in their minds.
They had no intention of resisting Li Xuan, who was decisive and domineering.
Li Xuan packed up the architectural drawings of the wine city, then drove the carriage slowly towards the wine city.
Compared to the bustling Qicheng, Jiucheng was much quieter. In this huge city, there were only two or three members of the Tao family walking on the streets.
"Master!"
A member of the Tao family spotted Li Xuan entering the wine city and immediately exclaimed, then fell in front of Li Xuan and kowtowed to him respectfully.
"No need to be so polite, get up." Li Xuan said to the Tao family member with a smile.
"Thank you, master! The clan leader is working in the No. 3 factory making wine. I'll take you there right away." The Tao family member immediately got up from the ground, then led the carriage and took Li Xuan to the factory.
A few minutes later, the Tao family brought Li Xuan to a wine factory.
As soon as Li Xuan arrived at the winery, he saw Tao Lin and the Tao family waiting for him.
"Welcome, master!" Tao Lin, dressed in rough clothes and an apron, was followed by several members of the Tao family. He walked quickly forward, then knelt directly in front of Li Xuan's carriage and kowtowed to Li Xuan.
"Everyone, stand up. When you meet each other from now on, just greet each other normally. No need to kneel down." Li Xuan stood on the carriage and said to the Tao family members around him.
"Yes, master." The Tao family member still did not stand up and was still kneeling on the ground.
"Tao Lin, long time no see." Li Xuan shook his head helplessly, then jumped off the carriage, helped Tao Lin up, and said to Tao Lin with a smile.
"Yes, master, long time no see." Tao Lin looked at Li Xuan with a smile on his face and said to Li Xuan respectfully.
"Let's stop being polite and tell me, are you used to making wine in this wine city?" Li Xuan continued to ask Tao Lin.
"Adapt, adapt. This place is really suitable for brewing wine. If there weren't so few members of the Tao family, we could run all of the young master's wineries. In that way, we could produce a large amount of wine every day." Tao Lin said to Li Xuan with a nod and a bow.
After Tao Lin stood up, other members of the Tao family also stood up.
"Haha, that's good. So, Tao Lin, I'll give you the power. Tomorrow, go to the nearby villages to select some people who are suitable for making wine, and try to get all the wineries here up and running. Such a big place can't be wasted." Li Xuan also gave Tao Lin the power to select people.
Li Xuan has great trust in his subordinates, so he does not hold all the power in his own hands. He must give out what should be given out. After all, Li Xuan's main task is to practice, not to make money.
If one wants to run the entire wine city, the ruined Tao family alone is not enough, so Li Xuan agreed that Tao Lin could find some people to help him with the work.
"That's great, young master. As long as there are enough people, our winery can be fully operational. We can produce at least tens of thousands of kilograms of wine every day!" Tao Lin said excitedly while looking at Li Xuan.
Tao Lin also looked at Li Xuan excitedly and said, Li Xuan must trust him so much to give him the power to select people.
"Tao Lin, you will be the first lord of the Wine City. Most of the affairs in the Wine City will be under your management. In the future, I will arrange some people to manage the Wine City with you. Then you can contact the caravan and try to convert the wine into profits as soon as possible. After all, I can't always be the one paying for the subsidies for the Radi Canyon. I still have to have my own industry to make money." Li Xuan smiled and said to Tao Lin.
"Yes, young master, I will not let you down!" Tao Lin excitedly knelt down in front of Li Xuan and kowtowed to him.
"Okay, I'll give you a prescription in a while. When the time comes, you can make some medicinal wine and hand it over to the caravan together with your drinks. Let them take it out to sell. This will increase your income and won't require much effort." Li Xuan said to Tao Lin with a smile.
"Yes, master." Tao Lin nodded again.
"By the way, have you practiced seriously in the past year? Although brewing wine is important, practice cannot be neglected. Tao Lin, report to me about your family's practice situation." Li Xuan suddenly remembered that the Tao family was also a family of soul masters, so he asked Tao Lin.
The use of the Sky-shaking Cannon requires a soul master to operate it, so Li Xuan wanted to urge the soul masters in the camp to practice. After all, the higher the soul master's cultivation, the longer he can control the Sky-shaking Cannon. This can be considered as an advance layout and preparation for the future. "In reply to the master, there are a total of ten in the family, six of whom have the talent for cultivation, three of whom have already cultivated to level ten, and the remaining children's soul power levels have also reached level 8 and 9. It won't take long for them to break through their strength." Tao Lin immediately introduced them to Li Xuan like a treasure, after all, these were all his children.
"In addition, there are twelve soul masters in the family. Eight of them have reached the level of great soul master, and two have broken through to level 20. The rest of the clansmen have also recently improved by one to two levels. The rest of the clansmen are basically ordinary people." Tao Lin took out a small notebook and read out the contents of the notebook to Li Xuan.
"We have been displaced for so long and have had no time to practice properly. But now that we have settled down, you all have to practice well. Those who have broken through the bottleneck, step out. Tao Lin, you arrange someone to take them to the City Lord's Mansion to wait for me. In a few days, I will take them into the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts." Li Xuan nodded to Tao Lin and said.
"Yes, young master, I will take them there right away." Tao Lin kowtowed to Li Xuan again.
"Well, okay, if there's nothing else, I'll go back." Li Xuan said and prepared to leave.
"Young Master, don't you want to go to the winery to take a look?" Tao Lin was stunned for a moment, then asked Li Xuan curiously.
"I feel relieved that you are here. Work hard, and when your slave status is lifted in the future, you can expand your family." Li Xuan smiled and waved, then got on the carriage and left.
"Thank you, Master! Master!" Tao Lin and other members of the Tao family widened their eyes instantly after hearing Li Xuan's words. The next second, these people knelt on the ground without hesitation and kowtowed to Li Xuan.
Although there are no restrictions on them now, their status is still slaves, which is a shame for them!
So now that Li Xuan has promised to wash away this shame for them in the future, they are bowing to Li Xuan sincerely.
Li Xuan left the wine city without looking back.
After leaving the Wine City, Li Xuan thought about it, and then went straight back to the City Lord's Mansion. In addition to these two small cities, there is another small city called Medicine City. That is where Li Xuan prepares medicinal materials, but no one is taking care of it now, so Li Xuan is too lazy to go and see.
After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Li Xuan came to the secret room where Baichuan was resting.
At this time, Baichuan was actually teaching Bangchu how to use a short sword.
Although Bangchui's physique was not very good, he was very serious when practicing with the knife, and his knife skills gradually became proficient.
"Baichuan, you are good. Just teach him well. This guy Bangchui doesn't have much fighting power. He needs to be trained well." Li Xuan said to Baichuan with a smile.
Bangchui is an auxiliary soul master and basically has no combat power. If Baichuan can teach Bangchui some sword skills, Bangchui will have more means to save his life and Li Xuan can feel more at ease.
Moreover, Li Xuan remembered that he seemed to have taught Bangchui some moves of Bagua Youlong Palm, but he didn't know whether Bangchui still remembered them now.
"Greetings, young master! I noticed that young master Bangchui is a little weak, and practicing with swordsmanship will help him become stronger." Bai Chuan immediately bowed respectfully to Li Xuan, raised his head and said with a smile.
"Why should we be polite, Baichuan? How long will it take you to be able to fight normally? I may have to go to the Star Dou Great Forest soon to help a few people hunt soul beasts and obtain soul rings. They are just the first and second soul rings, so it won't be too dangerous." Li Xuan patted Baichuan's waist, then said to Baichuan with a smile.
There was no way. Li Xuan was not even ten years old, and he was still not as tall as Baichuan.
"Young Master's medicine is very effective. I can already exert 80% of my strength. If I am only dealing with a hundred-year-old soul beast, there should be no problem. I am afraid that I will have to wait for a while before I can go hunting for the soul rings I need." Bai Chuan said to Li Xuan with a smile.
After his strength was restored, Baichuan was obviously much more relaxed. He looked more cheerful and smiled more often.
"Okay, let's pack up and set off early tomorrow morning to hunt soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain soul rings." Li Xuan smiled at Baichuan and said.
"Yes, young master. I will do my best to protect you and the young master." Bai Chuan immediately knelt on one knee and said to Li Xuan seriously.
"Why should we be polite? But Baichuan, you have to remember that your main task is to protect Bangchui. Although my soul power level is not high, my combat effectiveness is still good, and I have more ways to save my life." Li Xuan said to Baichuan with a smile.
"Yes, young master!" Baichuan said seriously.
"Okay, we have to set off tomorrow, so let's all go to bed early. Baichuan, you will live in the City Lord's Mansion from now on. Ask Zhou Chen for a room key." Li Xuan thought about it and decided to let Baichuan live in the City Lord's Mansion, which would be safer.
"Yes, young master." Bai Chuan nodded and said nothing more.
Then, Li Xuan took the two people out of the secret room, returned to the ground, and went back to their rooms to rest.
-
Early the next morning.
"Young Master, the Tao family is here." Zhou Chen's voice came from outside the bedroom.
Now that Zhou Chen is the director of the City Lord’s Mansion, the task of waking up Li Xuan every day falls on Zhou Chen.
"Got it. Let them wait in the reception room. I'll be there soon." Li Xuan replied to Zhou Chen in a daze, then closed his eyes and prepared to rest for a while.
Ten minutes later, Li Xuan packed up and came to the reception room.
"Greetings, master!" Tao Lin, together with a middle-aged man and two children, saluted Li Xuan.
Li Xuan was stunned for a moment when he looked at Tao Lin and his group of four, but he reacted instantly.
"Tao Lin, I didn't expect you to break through to level 20!" Li Xuan looked at Tao Lin and smiled heartily. However, it was normal, as the head of the Tao family should be the one with better talents in the family.
"I'm just lucky." Tao Lin responded with a smile without saying anything more.
"By the way, you can call me Young Master from now on, instead of Master." Li Xuan said to Tao Lin.
"Yes, young master!" Tao Lin's eyes lit up and he said to Li Xuan with a smile. It was obvious that he wanted to improve their status.
Just at this moment, Baichuan walked in from outside.
"Young Master, everything is ready. We can set off at any time." After Bai Chuan entered the room, he bowed to Li Xuan and said.
"Okay, let's take a break first. By the way, Tao Lin, what kind of soul beast does your family generally need as a soul ring? It will also be convenient for us to help you find a suitable soul ring later." Li Xuan asked Tao Lin.
They were about to enter the Soul Beast Forest, and Li Xuan also needed to master the soul beast that was most suitable for the Tao family. This way, they would have a better direction when entering the Star Dou Great Forest, and it would also be easier. (End of this chapter)
