The Sacred Ding Chapter 224: Wolves are waiting (2)

After Yitian entered the winter in the 75th year, the situation around Juquanling was such that Ding Shuang, Zhou Jingyuan, Wu Meng, and others were all dumbfounded.

The situation that Chen Hai said at the beginning of the pack of wolves was formed, but at this time there are eight Taoist schools such as Shichengling and Mojia workshops representing the Dongs in Hexi and Yanjing. The big power, at this time, there are nearly 20 large and small casting workshops independent of Juquanling, which are the eyeliners of other small and medium sects and sect forces in Juquanling.

Even in the foundry of Juquanling, there are already more than 12 master craftsmen above the Ming Aperture Realm, and Su Yuan is the only one who belongs to the Zhaoyang Pavilion. Outside of Juquan Ridge, there were as many as forty or fifty people from the Bright Aperture Realm who gathered, representing more than a dozen overlords, extending their tentacles into Juquan Ridge.

The situation where the pack of wolves is waiting is formed. Their big fat sheep has survived temporarily, but it will be even more difficult for the big fat sheep to decide its own destiny from now on.

Juquanling has just fallen for the first snow of the year. The snow is not strong and the mountains are white.

Although Juquan Ridge and Juquan Lake have beautiful scenery at this time, Zhou Jingyuan, who rushed to the Zhongfeng Bamboo Forest to see Chen Hai, did not have a good mood to appreciate the scenery.

The bamboo forest is located at the foot of the Zhongfeng cliff. A waterfall falls from a 100-meter-high bank, forming a pool, bypassing the Zhongfeng and converging to the big stream in the east.

In addition to several secret rooms opened in the cliff cave for submerged training and refinement, Chen Hai's residence in Juquanling is a few bamboo houses in front of the bamboo forest.

At this time, Chen Haizheng and Sun Buhui were discussing kendo by the lake, while Su Ling was squatting on the rocky bank, watching a small whitebait, a special species of Juquanling, swimming in the crystal clear stream.

Seeing that Sun Bugui is here, Zhou Jingyuan's full of grievances cannot be vented temporarily.

It's really uncomfortable to see Zhou Jingyuan holding back something that he can't say. Chen Hai smiled and said, "Brother Sun is not an outsider. What can't you say?"

Looking at Sun Buhui, Zhou Jingyuan thought that they had some grievances here, so it’s okay to let Hexi know it, so he said: "Today the representatives of the Bajia Daoyuan all came together to come to the next issue. The price of the supplied hardened iron material is further reduced by 30%. They are really deceiving people. In this way, the benefits we can get from the hardened iron material are very small. The price is even only for the smelting of hardened iron. One-tenth of the material..."

The situation in which a pack of wolves is waiting is formed. No one wants to see other people swallow the fat sheep alone, but doesn't it mean that the pack of wolves will not join hands to cut the wool from the fat sheep?

At this time, Juquanling still controls the output of gold-quenched iron material, but the price of gold-quenched iron material is controlled by other forces. It is no longer a matter of the Juquanling family.

Even the Shichengling Taoyuan, which represents Hexi, has joined forces with seven other Taoyuan schools to restrict Juquanling from increasing the price of hardened iron materials.

No one is stupid. You can clearly estimate how low the cost of the quenched iron material produced by Juquanling is. How can you continue to buy it at ten times the price?

Although the two large smelting furnaces are about to be put into use, the output of the quenched iron material in Juquanling will increase to 40,000 jin by that time, but Zhou Jingyuan calculated the benefits they can really get from them, even Far worse than at the beginning of the year, why doesn't this make him complain?

According to his thoughts, it was better to agree to the conditions of the Black Swallows, and lead the 30,000 Black Swallows to re-enter Qintong Mountain, and control all the area north of Zuojin Valley, and save the bird's air of today.

"Also, there are several master craftsmen in the foundry. These days, they are also about to set up a craftsmen association so that the armor and puppet refining can push the old and the new. They seem to have good intentions, but behind The hidden thoughts can't be told." Zhou Jing said vigorously.

Sun Buhui was embarrassed. He was also one of the master craftsmen of Juquanling casting at this time, and he also knew that craftsmen would be involved.

The establishment of the craftsmen's association in Juquanling said that it would not interfere with the senior management of Juquanling, but after the establishment, the middle and senior craftsmen in Juquanling became a force, not to mention that they would interfere in management Now, replacing the capital is most likely a matter of course.

After all, this is because Zhaoyang Pavilion’s own power is too weak, but it occupies a big treasure that can change the world. How can it be alone?

Since the Hexi side has not had the ambition to monopolize Juquan Ridge, for fear of public anger, it still follows the opinions of other families in lowering the price of hardened iron and preparing for the establishment of the Craftsman Association.

Although Sun Buhui has a good personal relationship with Chen Hai and the others, he can only follow the orders of the Zongmen and the Hexi Duhu Mansion in such matters. He believes that Chen Hai will not easily give in to this matter. After all, it involves Juquanling's future dominance, but it should make some concessions on other things to fill the appetite of the family a little.

Chen Hai stood with his arms folded and looked into the distance. At the mountain pass less than twenty miles away from Juquan Ridge, the city named Liquan was already in its rudimentary form.

The construction of the city of Liquan has nothing to do with Juquanling and Tongbei Fu. It was built jointly by Shichengling and other eight Taoist schools. After completion, it will also be jointly managed by the Eight Taoists.

When the city of Liquan is completed and the wide road connecting Liquan with the outside world is opened up, the status of Juquanling will be further weakened.

Now some people are going to set up some craftsmen's association inside Juquanling, and they have an attempt to take their side. It's no wonder that Zhou Jingyuan will be angry.

Although the situation evolves and develops much faster than Chen Hai expected, he does not feel any surprise or anger.

At this time, Juquanling started with a huge supply of hardened iron materials. In fact, it has formed a super large-scale armor and weapon casting distribution center, and thousands of excellent armors are cast every month. , Exported to various places.

The craftsmen and masters of all clans and clans all gathered in Juquanling, which made Yanzhou the first time in thousands of years outside of the academy, there was an exchange platform that could exchange armor, weapons and magic weapons. As a result, the low- and middle-level mechanism puppets and weapons manufacturing technology can unimaginably flourish.

Chen Hai’s personal energy is always limited. It is impossible to take all aspects into consideration. More often, he needs teamwork. However, the manpower of Zhaoyang Pavilion is still very limited, even at the earliest. There is not even a master craftsman in the Aperture Realm.

The primary organ beast that Juquanling originally supplied to Mojiasi has improved a lot at this time. This is precisely what has been promoted by the full exchange of many craftsmen.

During this process, Chen Hai himself was extremely helpful in his research on organ puppetry, but others thought that he was inherited from the ancients and did not think it would help him much.

If he only considers to find a way to dominate and segregate places among the various forces, and Juquanling forms the current situation, he will undoubtedly not be considered a success, but it cannot be considered a failure.

Unless you don’t want to develop the big treasure of the lake mud sand mine, otherwise, it is quite successful to form the balance of today. The power of Zhaoyang Pavilion is still too weak to monopolize the Juquan Lake. Great treasure.

All the powers of the sects are the masters who eat meat and do not spit out bones. No one will tolerate a small power that monopolizes Juquan Ridge under a side bed.

However, at this time, every family wanted to set up an organization like the Craftsman Association to seek the dominance of Juquan Ridge. It was too hasty.

Chen Hai glanced at Sun Buhui and couldn't help weighing Hexi's attitude. Although Hexi first established a Taoist school in Shichengling, it did not take up more interest in Juquanling. What would Hexi think? What would the elder Cai Chou think? Or perhaps he said that even if the Craftsman Association is to be established, Dong should be allowed to stand up and take the lead, so that they can more or less benefit and balance their hearts?

Although things are generally developing according to Chen Hai's original vision, the more so, the more complicated he finds that many of his interests are entangled in him and it is difficult to break free.

"..."

At this time, a rainbow came from the direction of Shichengling~IndoMTL.com~ Chen Hai, Sun Buhui, Zhou Jingyuan looked forward to the prime ministers, but after a while, they saw Pei Jinhua, the law enforcement elder of the Shichengling Taoyuan, dressed in purple. Huafu, the graceful sword flew.

Pei Jinhua used to be the principal of Taiweizong’s Seven Peaks. He entered Yanjing with the Jinzuo mission three years ago. After that, he stayed in Yanjing, and actually stayed in Dong Ning to act as the protector of the Tao-Dong Ning Anran returned to Hexi, Pei Jinhua went to Shichengling Taoyuan to serve as law enforcement elder.

Chen Hai didn’t know what Pei Jinhua suddenly came to Juquanling for, he stepped forward and said: "How did Elder Pei go to Juquanling to be a guest today?"

Pei Jin, a Chinese in middle age, still has a lot of charm, Chen Hai greeted her with a smile, but she had a beautiful face stretched there, standing on the bright blue spirit sword, and did not say that she would come down to rest. The meaning of the tone, he said directly: "Hexi wants to marry Xiqiang country, I will come over and tell you."

"Dong Ning is going to marry Jinzhou?" Chen Hai asked silently.

Pei Jinhua didn't want to explain more. After looking at Sun Buhui, Zhou Jingyuan, and Su Ling, he destroyed the sword art and flew to the Lion City Ling Taoyuan.

Pei Jinhua suddenly ran to report the letter, Sun Buhui was a little confused, thinking that Chen Hai publicly refused the marriage of the Yuecheng County lord, it was all known to the world, and it is said that Qin Muhou and Dongshou became ashamed and angry afterwards. , I wanted to kill Chen Hai to vent his anger, but Chen Hai saw the opportunity quickly, and escaped to Wen Boyuan’s house for a while. It’s been almost a year, and everyone almost forgot about it. Suddenly, Pei Jinhua What are you doing here?

Zhou Jingyuan knew that after the refusal to marry, Dong Ning had sent someone over to notify Chen Hai to run away. It can be seen that Dong Ning has a deep affection for Chen Hai, but what exactly does Chen Hai think about Dong Ning? I don’t know, but I think that since Chen Hai has already rejected Dong Ning’s marriage contract, the Dong family wants to marry Dong Ning to the West Qiang country in exchange for the peace of the western border. Even if Chen Hai feels uncomfortable, no one can do this. The facts have changed.
