I Have No Qualifications, The System Asked Me To Marry A Wife To Practice

The economic foundation determines the superstructure, and even the cultivation sects must follow objective laws.

The Taiping Sect, which does not follow objective laws, is on the verge of being played to death.

In accordance with the principle of caution, Chu Shen investigated and found that Yu Sidao did not lie.

Before he upgraded the industries in Nanping City, it was a typical agricultural economy society, with agriculture accounting for 80% of the total economy, while industries such as handicrafts, commerce, and services accounted for only about 20%.

In other words, in the previous economic model of Nanping City, the local landlords were the common choice of people after they became wealthy, rather than expanding the scale of industries such as handicrafts.

The same goes for the three major sects.

Don't be fooled by the fact that these cultivators possess magical powers and are seen as immortals in the eyes of mortals. In reality, they also rely on "economics" for their livelihoods, including food, resources for cultivation, and sect expenses... which one doesn't require money?

Moreover, in most sects, cultivators are often not the largest group in terms of numbers. Instead, there are more ordinary people engaged in tasks such as servants, laborers, maids, and workers.

These people also need money to support themselves, and it would be too costly to use spiritual stones and elixirs as cultivation resources. It is better to obtain gold, silver, and other precious metals.

Therefore, the three major sects are still the landlords of Nanping City, controlling up to 50% of the surrounding farmland ownership, of which the Taiping Sect accounts for 70%.

Because the Yangyuan Sect also has income from commerce, and the Yunshan Sword Sect receives filial offerings and commissions from disciples such as Wuxiong Mountain.

In general, even though there have been a few natural and man-made disasters in recent years, with so much land, it is still possible to ensure the continued existence of the Taiping Sect.

The problem lies in the fact that the Taiping Sect is not just living in seclusion. It is a sect that engages with the world and has spent a considerable amount of money and food on relief efforts.

Insufficient income and excessive expenditure will definitely lead to a deficit.

In the previous industrial upgrade of Nanping City, it didn't catch up. The investment was less than one-tenth of Yangyuan Zong's, so the dividends obtained naturally couldn't make up for the gap.

In addition, according to Chu Shen's investigation, every once in a while, Taiping Zong would transport a large amount of resources away from Nanping City, and no one knew where they went or what they were used for. The financial black hole involved in this is even more terrifying to think about.

This is probably a huge pit that exceeds imagination!

At that time, he didn't want to rashly fill the pit just for Cheng Suwei.

While communicating with Taiping Zong through Yu Sidao, he didn't expect the girl to come to him on her own.

When the young girl stood in front of Chu Shen, even though he had seen many beauties, he couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster.

How should I put it?

If we only consider appearance, most of the concubines in the Chu family are quite stunning, but this one is even more stunning.

And when it comes to temperament, there is no concubine in the Chu family who can compare. The already stunning appearance gives people a huge boost, as if they need to keep adding points.

It's a kind of wonderful fairy-like aura, just like when a naive teenager encounters the peak period of Zhao Ling'er and Xiaolongnü, making people willing to be captivated for eternity.

Huh? Something's not right. Although Cheng Suwei is rumored to be beautiful, it doesn't seem to be to this extent, right? This kind of beauty, like that of a True Immortal, is not something that can exist in a small place like Nanping City.

Cheng Suwei seemed to have noticed his confusion. She chuckled lightly, turned around, and then turned back. Although she was still very beautiful, a kind of ethereal feeling was gone, as if the special effects and filters were turned off, the makeup and prosthetics were removed, and she suddenly became plain-faced.

"How did you do it?"

As if returning to her goddess-like demeanor or waking up from the enchantment of a seductress, Chu Shen was extremely amazed by the change in the other person and blurted out subconsciously.

Cheng Suwei arched her hand and smiled like a lively little girl, "Brother, I don't know what talent this is. I've been like this since I was young. Is it pleasing to the eye?"

Chu Shen suddenly blushed. He was so busy looking at the girl that he didn't even use any polite words. With an attitude of pretending that nothing happened as long as he wasn't embarrassed, he thickened his face and greeted, "Sorry, Miss Cheng, I was rude because you were just too beautiful."

While saying this, he subconsciously opened the system panel to see the other person's situation.

However, this time, the system actually showed a bunch of question marks and many introductions were missing, almost causing him to lose control of his expression.

What's the situation with this girl in front of me?

He realized something was wrong. Cheng Suwei seemed to be no ordinary person!

Cheng Suwei was unaware of this and replied openly, "It was impolite of Suwei to come uninvited. I hope Lord Chu won't blame me."

"Miss Cheng, please have a seat. May I ask why you suddenly came to see me? Regardless of the reason for your visit, the unusual appearance of the system panel has made Chu Shen take it seriously."

As they both sat down and the maid served tea and pastries, Cheng Suwei had already put on the demeanor of a refined young lady, capable of being both salty and sweet, with the ability to change.

After the maid left and the flower hall was free of idle people, she let out a sigh and became lively again. "I came this time to discuss the marriage alliance between our sect and Lord Chu."

Chu Shen thought to himself, could this be a scene of breaking off an engagement?

"Miss, are you dissatisfied with your sect's actions? It's understandable. Clearly, it's a major event in your life, but you can't make the decision yourself. It's indeed frustrating."

He had a look of "I understand you" on his face, thinking that it would lead to a rational discussion with Cheng Suwei. However, to his surprise, the young girl exclaimed in astonishment, "I don't think that way at all!"

Then she became serious and said, "Marriage is a major matter. It is only right for parents to decide and matchmake. It is also said that one day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father. The sect master is both my relative and my teacher. This arranged marriage has also received my parents' consent. Suwei will definitely abide by the marriage contract and will not break it!"

Chu Shen was dumbfounded. He didn't expect her to be such a conservative and traditional person.
