Half-Yokai Cultivating the Path of Immortality Chapter 600: Border Market
Yunying City, in the tower on the north city wall, five figures stood together, looking at the market that had just opened outside the city.
The market is not big, no more than two hundred feet from north to south.
There is a gate on each side, both of which are heavily guarded. On the gates are hung the two characters "Pan" and "Zhang" respectively.
Mutual trade between the two countries.
After the Yiyi clan was divided into four countries, transactions between countries appeared for the first time.
Lu Tong looked at the market and said: "Is this border market worthy of Ling Mou's Tiger Zombie inheritance?"
The three-year period has expired, and Ling Mou took out an inheritance for refining giant tiger iron zombies and gave it to Pan State in vain.
The five people immediately opened a border market to fight back.
It's just that Lu Tong is a little worried. No matter how great the contribution of Bian Shi is, if the five people share the profits together and distribute it to everyone, it seems that they can't compare with that inheritance.
Juehe was still dressed in white and said: "Can you two convince the leader of the Zang Kingdom to form an alliance with the Pan Kingdom?"
"Ming Bao is willing to form an alliance?"
"If Lord Sicong is willing, I am confident that he will agree."
Lu Tong hesitated.
Panguo has a very bad reputation.
The ancestral graves of many people in the country of Zhang were left in the territory of the country of Pan. Some of them spent a lot of money to bring them back to the country of Zhang, and the rest were all dug up and their bodies were taken out.
The one with a special position can gather Yin Qi, and the corpse is well preserved and turned into a zombie;
For those in ordinary positions, only bones, armor, hair, etc. were left on the corpses, which were also taken away and used as materials for corpse refining.
The two countries have deep grievances.
The opening of the border market this time has been criticized a lot, and the chance of forming an alliance is very slim.
Ding Chu slowly shook his head.
Lu Tongtong: "Is there any other way?"
"If the countries are not in alliance, they can only take what they need privately. This border market is still too small, so all the big families and the businessmen of your country must cooperate together."
"I will make this happen."
"In addition, there are many places where the two countries meet. It is also a credit to us to demarcate the border and erect boundary pillars to eliminate hidden dangers in the future."
"This is feasible."
The two seemed to have become the leaders of their respective parties, and successively decided on many matters between the two countries.
At dusk, several people said goodbye.
Only Lu Tong and Ding Chu were left in the tower.
Lu Tong watched the three people go away and said, "Ding Daoyou, I heard that your direct taxation building is short of manpower?"
Ding Chu was about to leave when he immediately stopped and looked at Lu Tong with some surprise.
"Not bad."
"Baizhanlou has a lot of people, and they are trustworthy. If fellow Taoists like them, you can choose them at will."
Lu Tong paused for a moment, handed over a thin book, and said: "These are the outstanding disciples of Baizhan Tower in recent years. There are quite a few talents among them. Even the king of the country praised them after reading them."
Ding Chu stared at the booklet, thought for a while, raised his hand to take it, and said, "Thank you, fellow Taoist."
"It doesn't have to be this way."
Lu Tong smiled and said meaningfully: "Two people have already left. Even including Ling Mou, there is only one more person to leave among the six. We belong to the same country, and we should cooperate together and make further progress together."
Ding Chu was very vicissitudes of life, his face was expressionless, but the corners of his eyes were narrowed.
"How to go further?"
"The Zhen family is already a state businessman. Can you, Taoist friend, please be a little more generous so that they can freely display their fists and run the monster business well, so as to save the country from worries?"
Dharma is a knife, a knife that kills people without blood. This sword can be swung out openly and kill all opponents.
Zhen Yi took refuge in Sicong Zhenren.
Lu Tong is preparing to help the Zhen family to completely monopolize the domestic business of monster elixirs, herbs, flesh and blood. By then, all such businesses, both at home and abroad, will be run by the Zhen family and will also be controlled by the king.
Ding Chu thought for a while and said, "I will step in when the boundary pillar is set up."
"Yes."
……
The main hall in the center of the lake.
The Lutong man stood in front of his desk, holding a reading mirror, and "copied" page by page several books spread out on the table.
The inheritance of Tao Xing Sect.
I got it from Yangshan Shenxu in my early years and kept it for decades. I finally found it in a corner.
It includes a copy of the corpse-refining technique "Stealing Shapes and Resisting Zombies", as well as various techniques such as three-qi corpse smoke, yellow paper figures, white paper horses, and acupuncture sticks.
While copying, Madam Ninth pushed the door open and said with a smile: "That Baili Ruhedgehog is really indifferent. Baili Youzhen was so angry that she cursed for an hour."
"What's wrong?"
Lu Tong kept moving his hands and asked casually
When the Zhangguo Chamber of Commerce was established, he specially recommended Baili Ruhedge to leave Baili's house and join the Guoshang.
Smart people see far and know what is the general trend.
Jiu Fu said: "The Baili family wanted Guoshang's account books, but Baili Ruhedge refused. And they also used what they learned at the Baili family to lower the price with the Baili family."
Lu Tong grinned, put down his reading mirror, and said, "If only there were a few more hedgehogs, everything would be fine this time!"
"You are so beautiful! Some members of the family practice a method of breaking bones and connecting tendons without fighting for decades. How can it be so easy?"
He shook his head, picked up the box on the table, put the copied book into the box, and said, "Find someone to give it to Juehe."
"What?"
Madam Ninth glanced at it and picked it up to read.
Lu Tong sat cross-legged on a chair, picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said: "There are several books on the Zongzong exercises, but they are of no use. I took them as a favor."
"You're so good, why do you give me favors?"
"Because I want to do something alone and completely decide on a quota."
……
Strong winds swept through.
There were roars all around Inugami Mountain.
"Woof!"
"Hurry up!"
A group of pointed-eared rabbits ran away wildly on the sand, followed by a group of dog demons chasing after them, kicking up dust all over the sky.
Lu Tong landed on the top of the mountain.
Song Yanbai stood not far away, holding a black pole that looked like a stick or a sword. He raised his hand and pointed, and a cloud in the sky split into the left and right sides. The dog demons on the ground changed accordingly and separated to outflank him.
"Brother Song."
Lu Tong shouted.
Song Yanbai turned around and said with a smile: "Brother Lu, why are you free to come here today?"
“It’s not as easy as Brother Song to live under someone else’s roof and not be able to control yourself.”
"Golden Mane, I leave it to you."
Song Yanbai threw away the black pole, and a barefoot female cultivator took the black pole and continued to train the dog demon.
In the hall, the two of them were sitting behind each other.
Song Yanbai threw away two jars of muddy wine.
Lu Tong opened a jar, drank a sip, and said, "Has there been any change in the country of Fu in more than three years?"
"No big changes, just a few more wastelands opened up and a few more kings."
Fu Kingdom, unlike other countries, the leader Xu Kou did not take charge personally, but divided many heavenly kings and demon kings, and each king had a territory.
This time Lu Tong and other nine people, Xu Kou did not choose anyone.
Lu Tong glanced outside and whispered: "Senior Brother Xu, aren't you worried about the emergence of a country within a country?"
"Haha..."
Song Yanbai raised his head and laughed. He laughed for a long time before putting away his smile and said: "One day, without anyone else doing it, I will tear that person apart first and swallow that country within a country."
Lu Tong smiled and said no more.
Conquer the country with strength.
Xu Kou may be able to subdue a group of kings, but if the power of a country is not united, over time, its progress will inevitably be inferior to that of other countries.
Don’t worry about it being far away, it’s just the Kingdom of the Stick.
The etiquette and laws in the country of Zang are strict and orderly. No accident. In as short as a hundred years or as long as hundreds of years, the national power will definitely surpass Fu's country.
He put down the wine jar, put away his distracting thoughts, and said: "I came today to discuss a big matter, related to the two countries Fu and Zhang."
"What happened?"
Song Yanbai didn't pay much attention.
Lu Tongtong: "Trade between the two countries is officially cut off, and each has its own inconveniences. Why not set up a market outside Xicheng to make it easier for us to exchange what we have. What do you think?"
Border market, Juehe’s idea.
He planned to copy it again and establish the border markets of Fu and Zhang alone. With this contribution, he would completely establish victory.
Song Yanbai thought for a while, nodded and said: "Not bad."
Lu Tong's eyes lit up and he said, "Is this method feasible?"
"Not feasible."
Song Yanbai shook his head again and said: "It sounds good, but it doesn't matter what I say. That position is the territory of King Wufeng, and I can't interfere."
"Where is your king's order?"
"No, the king will not give an order for this. Except for the military expedition, the king will not interfere in our private affairs in peacetime."
Song Yanbai emphasized the word "private affairs".
Lu Tong's heart sank slightly.
In the Fu Kingdom, the national animal is the barking wind dog, and the national style is the same as that of wolf-dog monsters. Each king is a wolf pack, and they only cooperate with each other when hunting.
He thought for a moment and said: "I heard that every king of heaven has a dog demon under his command?"
"Yes, the king's order is that every ten soldiers must be equipped with a dog within ten years. All dog demons are trained by me. How about that?"
"Awesome."
Lu Tong flattered him casually.
Song Yanbai was bored and raised his head and took a big sip of wine.
Lu Tongtong: "So, all the kings have a good relationship with you?"
Song Yanbai threw away the empty wine jar, rolled his eyelids, and said, "That's because they asked for something from me."
Lu Tong was stunned for a moment, suspecting that Song Yanbai was alluding to him.
"Haha..."
Song Yanbai opened his mouth and laughed, and said: "Brother Lu, you are different. When you come to me to do something, no matter how big or small it is, you have no intention of asking for help."
Lu Tongqian smiled twice and continued to talk about business, saying: "Since you guys often come and go, can you set up the 'border market' here?"
"Where am I?"
Song Yanbai frowned, opened another jar of wine, and said hesitantly: "Brother Lu, I know you are competing for credit, but why do you have to set up a border market?"
Lu Tong sighed and said: "What do you think the prospects are for the four countries now and the bordering countries after the border opening is completed?"
"A fierce fight is inevitable."
"Yes, the purpose of exchanging knowledge is to accumulate knowledge. If you are faster than others, you will have a better chance of winning when fighting. This matter is beneficial to you."
"But... I don't have any manpower here. Apart from dog breeders and dog breeders, there are only a few who give birth to babies."
Lu Tong frowned.
The road of life is difficult, especially when you are going up and trying to achieve something. Every step is a hurdle. The previous one has just passed, and the next one is already at your feet.
While he was thinking.
Song Yanbai suddenly said: "Is there a way?"
"What method?"
Lu Tong was very surprised.
Song Yanbai lifted the wine jar, drank a gulp of wine, slammed it on the table, and said: "Stop asking, wait to drink my wedding bar."
……
Two kings get married.
Double happiness.
Song Gongtian, the son of Song Yanbai, the Heavenly King of Shepherd Dogs, and Luo Chao, the daughter of Luo Min, the Heavenly King of Wufeng, became Taoist lovers.
On the same day, Song Yanbai and Lu Tong set up a market at Hukou Pass as a gift to the newlyweds, so that they could control the merchants coming and going between Fu and Zhang countries.
Amidst the hustle and bustle of gongs, drums, cannons, and dogs barking, two newlyweds, one big and one small, saluted the guests.
Song Yanbai's eldest son was only fourteen years old.
The other newcomer, Luo Chao, is already a foundation-building monk. He cannot be younger than twenty years old, and his appearance may be older.
Mrs. Ninth glanced at it for a few times, then came to Lu Tong's side and said, "The little guy still can't figure out what's going on. I guess Song Yanbai's son hasn't been born yet when Luo Chao came of age."
Lu Tong twitched the corner of his mouth.
I don’t know whether Song Gongtian was born, but when Mrs. Ninth came of age, Hoo Zi was definitely not born, and Hoo Zi’s father may not be alive.
Madam Ninth also suddenly realized it, her face quickly turned red, she sat back and said nothing.
"Brother Lu!"
A big hand pressed on his back.
Lu Tong looked back and saw Song Yanbai and a young man with a strong face hugging each other shoulder to shoulder.
"This is King Luo Tian."
"This is Lutong. We were friends of life and death before the Outer City existed."
Song Yanbai didn't know how much wine he drank, and even with his golden elixir cultivation, his eyes began to become hazy.
Lu Tong looked at Luo Min, cupped his hands and said, "I have admired you for a long time!"
Luo Min smiled.
"I have been destined to meet fellow Daoist Lu for a long time, but the opportunity has not come before and we have never gotten to know each other."
"Oh?"
Lu Tong raised his eyebrows.
Luo Mindao: "I heard that Liangyao Tea Tavern is a Taoist friend's business. All the laborers and porters at the West City Gate used to be under my control, and many of them have visited."
Lu Tong grinned and said: "I see, fellow Taoist, please thank them for me and take care of Lu's business."
Luo Min was about to speak.
Song Yanbai pulled the two of them, stuffed each with a jar of wine, and said: "Old fate and new friendship, together they deserve a drink, let's do it!"
"Do it!"
The three of them drank it separately.
Song Yanbai no longer concealed what was in his heart, he laughed, drank, and shouted loudly, his heart was happy and his face was also very happy.
Lu Tong dealt with a few acquaintances and walked alone to the edge of Inugami Mountain. He looked at the Hukou Pass not far away and said silently: "This time it should be absolutely foolproof."
……
The Baizhan Tower is as powerful as a broken bamboo. Tens of thousands of people have learned boxing and Dharma here, and hundreds more people have been taken to various halls, buildings, and even the king of the country through here.
The border market is booming, and the demand has been suppressed for several years. After a short period of trial, many merchants really started to take action, and it is very busy every day.
In the country's business, Bo Yun is treacherous, the Zhen family changes sides, the Baili family splits, and the other families remain unchanged. The battle between the country's leader and the family has winners and losers, and it is difficult to tell the winner in a short period of time.
Canxiang Tower.
Lu Tong was lying on the red copper couch, holding a pipe and blowing out a thick smoke from the corner of his mouth.
Madam Ninth leaned to the side, biting her pipe, rubbing her mane with her toes, and said, "Aren't you going to try other methods?"
"No need."
He had the right location, good people, and was familiar with the inside and outside of Yunying City. He also had the cooperation of Madam Ninth, Song Yanbai, the Zhen family, etc., and he was able to achieve this.
Advance from top to bottom, both internally and externally.
No one else could go further.
Even if there are people who are unusual and talented, it is impossible for five to appear in a row.
"Madam, the old lady of the Zhen family is here, and she brought a man and a woman with her."
"Please come in. ~IndoMTL.com~ A few breaths later, Zhen Yi entered the hall with a smile on her face.
"Senior brother."
Lu Tong glanced at it, sat up and said, "What's the happy event?"
Zhen Yi walked up to Changtan, pushed the man and woman beside her in front of her, and said: "Senior Brother, the Lord of the Kingdom asked the Zhen family to select one person to serve as the envoy of the Stick Kingdom and return to the Shushu Immortal Ship with Senior Brother. Look at the two of them..."
Return to Shu Shu Fairy Ship?
Lu Tong's heart trembled, and he felt a "buzzing" sound in his ears. Zhen Yi's voice suddenly became quieter, as if coming from a hundred miles away, and then resumed again.
"...Suitable. Zhen Su, Zhen Ni, please pay your respects to your uncle!"
"Meet Uncle Master!"
The two saluted separately.
Lu Tong remained silent, his energy and blood surged, his mane flew, a strong wind came out of the hall, and a trace of thunder flashed in the wind.
"Lu Tong!"
Madam Ninth leaned forward and slapped her forehead with her palm.
Lu Tong suddenly woke up and stared at Madam Ninth, unable to calm down for a long time.
"I lost?"
This was the first time Madam Ninth saw Lu Tong like this, and she felt very worried and said, "It's okay, it's gone if it's gone."
Zhen Yi sensed something was wrong and quickly took out a box and said goodbye: "This is the personal decree of the king. Brother, please think about it first. I will come back another day."
After saying that, he picked up the two juniors and quickly exited.
Lu Tong picked up the box and said, "I want to see Si Cong!"
The sound is like rolling thunder.
As he spoke, the dragon claws closed, and the iron-like claws easily crushed the box, revealing a broken scroll and a piece of white paper.
The white paper is flawless.
The paper is whiter than snow, without a trace of dirt. It seems too clean that even dirt cannot get on it.
Lu Tong was stunned for a moment, and the next moment a strong wind swept through him, and thunderous laughter resounded inside and outside the palace.
"Hahaha..."
