Chapter 932
Chapter 932
Lijia village, an extremely inconspicuous small mountain village, is located two thousand miles southwest of Wunan city.
This small mountain village is inhabited by hundreds of families, basically surnamed Li. It is a family style small mountain village.
The people who live here usually make a living by hunting animals and picking elixirs. Most people in the small mountain village are monks. A few people can't practice because of their talent, but they are also very strong.
However, the sorrow of small family forces is that they don't have more resources. The exotic animals they hunt and the magic medicine they pick can exchange some resources, but the most important thing in the wilderness is exotic animals and magic medicine. Therefore, it's OK to use such means to make a living. It's absolutely impossible to develop and expand a family and become a great power in the wilderness.
Without more income, we cannot exchange more resources and greatly improve the cultivation of our people.
The cultivation of clansmen can not be greatly improved, and there can be no strong people with stronger cultivation, so they can not bring more resources to the family.
This is a cycle, which can be a virtuous cycle or an indefinite vicious cycle.
As the patriarch, old man Li has been used to this way of life. Every day, he arranges his people to go to the nearby mountains to look for elixirs and exotic animals, and then hand them over to the family for unified sale in exchange for some elixir skills and weapons needed for cultivation.
Old man Li is sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun. He is over 300 years old this year and has absolute authority in the family.
Although the monk's life is long, there has never been any super strong person in Lijia village. The people's cultivation is generally very low, so old man Li is very satisfied to live to more than 300 years old.
Basking in the sun every day and enjoying his old age is the greatest pleasure of his life.
Squint, half asleep and half awake in a good mood.
There was a sudden rush of footsteps outside the door. Old man Li was very unhappy. Who was the younger generation who didn't know the rules so well and came to the patriarch's house in such a panic.
It seems that these young people should teach a good lesson so that they don't know the rules.
When he was young, he did not dare to do so. When he passed the patriarch's house, he would be respectful. When he saw the people of the patriarch's house, he would also stand beside the road and send them first.
It is precisely because of this that he Li Laohan can be valued by the old patriarch and trained to become the next patriarch.
Why don't you know how to respect the elderly!
Old man Li was thinking that the footsteps outside were faster. He pushed open the door of his house and rushed in. Before he could stand firm, he shouted, "clan leader, there are foreigners who want to see you."
Stranger?
What's good to see! The patriarch was unhappy.
These cunning foreigners think we are mountain people, so they can bully us.
When foreigners come to Lijia village, they don't think about the exotic animals hunted by Lijia village and the magic medicine picked!
Mention these, Li Laohan's heart is a burst of fire.
In the early years, the exotic animals and miraculous drugs they got were sold to these foreigners, and then they exchanged them for pills, weapons and other resources.
Later, a disobedient younger generation of the family went to Wunan city two thousand miles away on his back.
The boy left for two years. At that time, the family thought he died in the mountain after entering the mountain.
Who promised that the boy would come back two years later and said he had gone to Wunan city and had a good knowledge!
It turned out that the price of those exotic animals and miraculous drugs they sold was so low! Take it to Wunan city and sell it. The price has increased ten times!
Ten times, you can believe it!
Of course, old man Li wouldn't believe this young man who didn't have hair on his mouth and couldn't handle affairs well. He immediately organized people to go to Wunan city with some exotic animals and elixirs.
When these people came back, the news they brought back was even more amazing. It was more than ten times. When they saw that they brought more things, the Wunan chamber of Commerce in Wunan city gave them a higher price.
Compared with sales in Lijia village, the price is twelve times higher!
Moreover, the prices of various resources exchanged in Wunan chamber of Commerce, such as pills and weapons, are more than five times lower than those delivered to the door!
Old man Li was scared silly by such a calculation.
For so many years, the family has been afflicted by these foreigners. The strange animals and miraculous medicine obtained by the people's blood and sweat have been cheated by foreigners, and his heart is dripping blood.
Since then, Lijia village has never sold a strange animal and a miraculous medicine to outsiders.
Of course, they dare not settle accounts with those foreigners.
People dare to come to Lijia village to trade. Naturally, they have their own means. No one grabs things from Lijia village. They are all voluntary transactions between the two sides. If the price is low, they can only swallow it. Who wants you not to send someone to Wunan city to see it? It's not too far. It's only two thousand miles.
Annoyed these foreigners, Lijia village can't think of peace.
However, if they sell things to foreigners, they will be the ones who has the final say.
Since then, all the good things produced by Lijia village have been sent to the Wunan chamber of Commerce in Wunan city.
In a few years, Lijia village changed a lot.
Today, I heard that another foreigner came to the door. Old man Li was unhappy. What's the matter? Do you still want to cheat the baby in our hands with low prices!
We people in Li family village are not from the beginning. We have gained insight and will never be fooled by you again.
"No! Let them go back wherever they come from!" old man Li didn't dare to offend these foreigners too much and didn't want to see them.
"Patriarch, it's different this time. There are a lot of people coming. They are very threatening. I'm afraid it doesn't matter. You'd better go and see them." the young man who came in to report stood trembling opposite old man Li.
Old man Li, with his eyes burning, looked at the young man's pocket, "say, what benefits did they give you!"
The young man trembled with fear. "Patriarch, they gave me a bottle of julingdan."
"You bastard!" old man Li was furious.
Old man Li waved his hand, "I'll spare you this time. Go and bring their leader."
If the young man was granted amnesty, he hurried out.
Before long, several people came in with the young people.
Old man Li was shocked. These people are not good people!
Looking at the clothes and momentum of these people, it's not that he and old man Li can talk equally. These foreigners are not those people in the past!
Sitting in the position of patriarch for so many years, old man Li still has some eyesight. He quickly stood up and greeted a few people with a smile, "I don't know if you are welcome. Please come quickly."
Then he shouted at the young man, "hurry to prepare the chair."
Young people are a little silly. The patriarch is so polite to these people.
These people didn't sit down. One of the middle-aged people said to old man Li, "take the liberty to disturb us. We have something to discuss with the patriarch."
"Distinguished guests, please speak," said old man Li Xinxin. As long as you don't buy good things in Lijia village at a low price, everything is easy to say.
"Well, we passed by the treasure land and wanted to stay in Lijia village for a few days. We also asked the patriarch to help us. We won't live here for nothing." as the middle-aged man waved his hand, a strong man behind took out several jade bottles from the package.
Put it in front of old man Li, the middle-aged man said, "this is our little meaning, which should be the cost of accommodation."
Old man Li doesn't think so. It's not that Li Jiacun hasn't seen the julingdan.
When his eyes fell on the jade bottle and saw the color of the pill inside, he was surprised.
"This is the best gathering elixir!" old man Li was frightened by his cry. So many people stayed for a few days. He didn't dare to ask for so many best gathering elixirs!
"You're welcome. We'll come first, and some companions will come later. It's our common expense." the middle-aged man knew that old man Li was frightened and explained to him.
Old man Li waved again and again, "that's too much."
"Let you take it. There's not so much nonsense!" the strong man behind the middle-aged man shouted angrily.
The cultivation of these people was unfathomable. Old man Li didn't know where they came from and didn't dare to talk nonsense. He had to accept the julingdan and let the people arrange the best residence and warmly entertain the people.
Two days later, people began to come to Lijia village.
Old man Li is worried. There are too many people here.
There are hundreds of families in Lijia village, with less than 3000 people.
There are more than 3000 people staying in Lijia village. Look at this posture, there are people behind!
While old man Li was frightened, those foreigners had settled down in Lijia village.
Today, it seems that a big man came. The middle-aged man who first came to Lijia village greeted him and invited him to the best yard.
There was a sick young man and several monks of different ages.
Entering Lijia village, the young man was unhappy, "Pan Hu! This is the foothold you're looking for. What a broken place! I pan Jialong, a young member of the four seas chamber of Commerce, live in such a pig nest!"
"Young master, it's not that my subordinates are not doing well. It's only two thousand miles away from Wunan city. This is the best place to find." the middle-aged man replied.
Pan Jialong snorted coldly: "it's all your fault. I have to say something about the sudden attack! It doesn't mean that there is infighting in Wunan chamber of Commerce. Are all the senior executives dead? What else is terrible? Take someone to kill Wunan city immediately and destroy Wunan chamber of Commerce. I want to live in Wunan city!"
"Jialong, don't do this. Our people came back with the news that Wunan chamber of Commerce has been seriously damaged by infighting. But it seems that Wunan chamber of Commerce has quickly embarked on the right track and is said to be stronger than before." an old man behind pan Jialong said cautiously.
"Fourth uncle, are you afraid? A Wunan chamber of Commerce, which has killed all the high-level officials, has made fourth uncle afraid!" Pan Jialong disdained. "What capital does Chu Lingyan have to compete with our Sihai chamber of Commerce, based on her Yan Chao?"
Pan dingqi was unhappy and said faintly: "send someone to inquire about all kinds of news in Wunan city immediately. We live here temporarily and block the news. We must not leak the news!"
