Ruins of the past

Liu Er originally thought he would be dragged directly to work.

Unexpectedly, after listening to the speech, all of them were taken to the dining hall to have a meal.

Fragrant white flour pancakes, served with pickles, and a big bowl of broth.

You can still see a layer of oily flowers on the broth, and Liu Er's whole body will be full of pain after just one bowl.

He thought that if he could eat these here every day, he would have no problem working for his employer every day.

Not only Liu Er, but also the restless and nervous refugees at the scene also relaxed after such a full meal.

After eating, a Taoist priest from the Celestial Master Sect led them to pray together and performed an exorcism ritual.

Seeing the Taoist priest from the Tianshi Sect appear, the refugees became more at ease and relaxed.

They became more and more obedient to the Chamber of Commerce's next arrangements.

The next day, they were taken to another place.

Liu Er followed the instructions and came to a room and saw a large bowl of blood on the table.

A strong man with a sinewy face sat aside, looked at him and said: "Drink the blood, and I will use the health care power on you."

Although it was strange to drink blood, Liu Er was fed and comforted for a while by the Taoist priest from the Tianshi Sect, and he nodded obediently at this moment.

After drinking a large bowl, he immediately felt a bloody smell coming towards his face, choking him and coughing repeatedly.

The strong man explained in simple words: "Don't be afraid if you wake up soon. This health care function will make you stronger and more energetic. The Taoist priests of the Tianshi Sect all agree with it after using it."

Then the strong man walked up, held Liu Er down, and slapped Liu Er's body repeatedly with his hands, bringing out afterimages.

The strong man in front of him was transformed into the pig demon Zhu Dazhuang.

Ever since he followed Qiao Zhi on Chaoyao Mountain and came to Yaoyin Village, he has been under the old demon Tongtian's tent.

These days, he has witnessed with his own eyes the continuous growth of Tongtian Old Demon.

In the ideological class, he also gradually agreed with what Tongtian Old Demon said.

This time he and several other Five Realm monsters who were good at hiding their auras were called out to perform the Heavenly Demon Foundation Building Technique on the recruited refugees.

In the room at this time, Zhu Dazhuang looked at Liu Er who passed out after being cast on the Heavenly Demon Foundation Building Technique.

He couldn't help laughing in his heart: 'Hahahaha... Who would have thought that we could turn people into monsters in front of the Celestial Master and the Demon Suppressor. ’

'Teacher Tongtian is right. Humans and monsters should not be hostile. We should overthrow the emperor and the Dukes together, so that both human beings and monsters can have jobs and make money...'

However, a trace of weakness flashed across his face at the next moment. The Heavenly Demon Foundation Building Technique still consumes a lot of energy.

Zhu Dazhuang quickly took one of the Shenzhi pills given by Chu Qiguang. After resting for a while, he had Liu Er carried out, and then called the next refugee.

Liu Er was carried to the Datong bunk and lay down for a while. When he woke up again, he felt that his whole body was comfortable and energetic.

He was surprised and delighted and said: "What the Chamber of Commerce said is true. This health care function is really powerful."

Another man on the side had woken up early and sneered when he saw his appearance: "Of course it's true. The Yunyang Chamber of Commerce is so big that even Taoist priests work for them. How can I deceive you like this?" Are you feeling miserable?"

At this moment, the homeless people outside the yard were picked up and driven out by the guys. They kept shouting: "Let me try again! I am willing to do any job!"

Seeing Liu Er's curious gaze, the man on the side curled his lips and said, "That's something that even the health-care powers can't do. The Chamber of Commerce doesn't want this kind of waste."

Only then did Liu Er realize that not everyone could successfully perform the health-care skill. He couldn't help but secretly feel glad that he had not failed, otherwise he would have been the one driven away.

Because the demon blood in some people is too unconventional and cannot be stimulated by regular animal blood.

Therefore, the Yunyang Chamber of Commerce could only choose not to hire them.

For example, more than 20 people were eliminated in this recruitment, and they had to find other jobs on their own.

After all, Chu Qiguang cannot save everyone. His top priority now is to make the entire Yunyang Chamber of Commerce operate efficiently according to his will.

Liu Er looked at the man on the side who seemed to know a lot, and asked: "What exactly is the Yunyang Chamber of Commerce hiring us for?"

The man smiled and said, "First, I will go to class to learn how to farm. After I learn, I will be assigned to work on different farms."

"You can also use your own money to rent land from the Chamber of Commerce for farming."

"Even if you don't have money and want to rent land, you can apply for that... that loan from the Chamber of Commerce and just pay it back every month."

"My second uncle applied for a loan because of his good performance..."

Liu Er listened thoughtfully, and then he followed the large army to the fields outside the city.

Here they will learn new farming techniques from Li Jian, how to make soil fertilizers, and how to grow cotton and precious rice.

Liu Er was a little disapproving at first, thinking that he had been farming for more than ten years, so he still needed someone to teach him.

But he soon fell in love with Li Jian's admiration.

This five-level expert from the Demon Suppressing Division has devoted himself to researching alchemy, herbal medicine, and farming on Chaoyao Mountain for many years. His level is rare in the world. He even independently developed various types of chemical fertilizers and updated traditional agricultural technology.

…

In the other corner of Tianqu Fucheng, many landowners, gentry, and wealthy families rushed over.

Abbot Chenzhu smiled and said: "Brother Liu, are you here too? But, your family has so much land, and now the Yunyang Chamber of Commerce is renting land everywhere, and the price it offers is 10% higher than the market price."

Hearing this, Liu Yao smiled slightly and said, "Why else would I come here? And I also know that they start renting in five years. The longer the lease is signed, the higher the rent will be. The maximum can be a hundred years."

Chen Zhu nodded: "They say the money will be transferred directly to the bank account every month. I am here to withdraw the money today."

Today, more than half of the land in Lingzhou is in the hands of various aristocratic families, clans, and Taoist temples.

However, many large families do not utilize their land very efficiently, and even because of excessive exploitation, many tenant farmers would rather flee than farm, resulting in a large amount of abandoned fields and wasteland.

Moreover, various management of tenants, transportation, storage, and buying and selling of crops...all kinds of things require a lot of costs.

Not every aristocratic family is willing to spend time and energy on this matter.

Now that the Yunyang Chamber of Commerce is willing to rent their fields at a rent higher than the market price, these families only need to wait for the cash every month and no longer have to worry about managing farming.

As long as they find something reliable, many families are willing to rent land to the Yunyang Chamber of Commerce.

Families who are unwilling to rent out their land will soon find that their average cost of farming will be higher than the land in the hands of the chamber of commerce, and the crops in their hands will be uncompetitive in price.

Chen Zhu greeted Liu Yao and went to the VIP room of the branch bank to handle business.

Looking at the rent that had arrived, the Tianshi abbot showed a happy smile on his face: "Help me withdraw all the money."

The person responsible for entertaining the abbot personally was Wang Cailiang. He said with a smile: "I have asked the accountant to handle it, but the money can be withdrawn at any time. I have a good financial management project on hand. Why don't you listen to it?"

Wang Cailiang recalled Chu Qiguang's teachings and said, "When you took out the money, you took it home and hid it. Why don't you give it to us to make money?"

Chen Zhu asked doubtfully: "Money begets money?"

Wang Cailiang said with a smile: "Our newly launched Daily Earn, as long as you store your money here, you will get interest every day, without any storage fees..."

Chen Zhu was surprised and said: "The money is deposited with you. I don't have to pay storage fees, but you still pay me interest?"

Wang Cailiang smiled and nodded: "And this is your rent. Now there is a policy in the Chamber of Commerce. After all the rent is paid, you will get a discount from our financial management."

Chenzhu licked his lips: "Tell me carefully."

Half an hour later, Chen Zhu signed the pledge and decided to automatically convert the monthly rent into financial products.

And he is by no means the only landowner to make similar choices.

Before Chen Zhu left, Wang Cailiang walked up holding a beautifully decorated box.

"This is our gift to the distinguished guest. Abbot, please keep it."

After Wang Cailiang left, Chen Zhu opened the box in the VIP room and found a long white sword that was neither gold nor silver.

He picked up the long sword and made a gesture. The sword blade swept through the air and whistled.

He stretched out his hand to stroke the blade again and praised: "What a sword. This sword seems to be made from the bones of monsters?"

Chenzhu found another booklet in the box. He opened it and found that it introduced the bone sword.

"Tianwu Chamber of Commerce creates master-level weapons with heart."

"The raw materials for every weapon built by Tianwu come from a powerful monster."

"The terrifying monsters hunted from the depths of Shuzhou. Each difference in size, type, and growth cycle will seriously affect the quality of the weapon."

"Tianwu Chamber of Commerce strictly adheres to standards. On average, only one out of every ten monsters meets the standards for creation."

"Hand-hunted by experienced masters of the hunter school, not only the quality is excellent, but the perfect preservation of the bones is also more conducive to weapon making."

"Every weapon is also a masterpiece of the master's skills."

"It took several years to travel around the world and impress 8 weapon masters."

"The craftsmanship of making weapons determines the quality of weapons. The eight masters have spent decades of concentration and understanding, and have developed a production process that is renowned in the industry."

"Every weapon of the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce is carefully made in strict accordance with the master's craftsmanship..."

Chen Zhu saw the end and muttered softly: "... Now hold this book and go to the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce to buy goods. You can also buy limited edition armor."

He asked curiously: "Tianwu Chamber of Commerce?"

Looking at the address written at the end, Chen Zhu decided to take a look.

He came to a quiet small building in the north of the city. As soon as he entered, a waiter came up to greet him.

At the same time, other guests were already visiting the small building.

However, not many people came. After all, the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce had just been established at this time and was not very famous yet.

Moreover, the bone weapons sold now are high-end. Although the quality is excellent, the price is not cheap.

The reason for this is also because Yaoyin Village's current production is insufficient.

…

In Yaoyin Village, Chu Qiguang and Thirteen Niang looked at the blood pool together.

In recent days, due to the large amount of resources invested by the Yunyang Chamber of Commerce, the upgrade and research speed of the blood pool has been greatly accelerated.

I saw a thick arm floating in it, emitting a slight heat flow.

Thirteenth Niang introduced: "This arm was made by us recently to imitate the farmer."

"The energy and blood routes running in this arm can produce the punches of a third-level warrior."

"When the energy and blood are full, you can punch 5 punches in total."

"We are now thinking about how to install this arm on ordinary people."

Chu Qiguang was stunned for a moment. This was completely different from the qi and blood machine he thought.

Shouldn't the machine be driven by the power of Qi and blood?

Thirteenth Niang continued: "If it can be connected to the body, we will try to make bone swords on the fingers, or inlay bone armor on the arms, or a person will have more arms..."

The more Chu Qiguang listened, the more his scalp became numb. He thought with a strange look on his face: 'What is this? Flesh cyberpunk? ’

He thought for a while and reminded: "Pay attention to safety and the direction of connection to the human body. It is best not to connect flesh and blood directly."

Thirteenth Niang asked curiously: "What should we do?"

Chu Qiguang thought for a while and said: "You... try to use the arms, legs, etc. created in the blood pool as tools like swords? They don't have to be in human form."

A thoughtful look flashed in Thirteenth Niang's eyes.

Next, Chu Qiguang came to the blood pool again and watched a large amount of meat being poured into the blood pool, which was completely digested in the blink of an eye.

He looked at Zhu Fashan, the person in charge of the workshop, and asked, "What is the current level of the blood pool?"

Zhu Fashan said: "About 200 real power."

In order to calculate the growth data and efficiency of the blood pool, the craftsmen in the workshop in Yaoyin Village set a unit for the blood pool under Chu Qiguang's order.

According to the blood pool, a good grade bone sword can be produced in one day, which is 1 real power.

"It's 200 real power now?" Chu Qiguang shook his head: "It's too slow, too little, and we need more output."

Zhu Fashan couldn't understand Chu Qiguang's request. In his opinion, the current blood pool could produce 200 bone swords a day, which was equivalent to his efficiency for several years.

He thought that if the king was not satisfied with this, how many bone swords would be produced in that day? Who will sell these many bone swords after they are produced?

Chu Qiguang ordered: "Continue to produce knives and farm tools every day, and give the products to Wang Cailiang to exchange for grain and meat."

"After deducting your labor from the food and meat exchanged, all of it will be put into the blood pool."

"In addition, I will also gather additional elixirs."

"You continue to expand production like this. I want your output to be as big as possible."

Although Zhu Fashan didn't understand this order, Tongtian was always respected in Yaoyin Village, so he agreed with a little bit.

Chu Qiguang thought to himself: 'With the help of the Chamber of Commerce's sales network, Yaoyin Village's weapons can be dumped throughout the north, but the biggest problem at present is insufficient production. ’

Warriors and martial arts play an important role in this world, and all kinds of weapons are naturally very important.

The market for weapons and armor has always been huge, especially when there are big customers like the Imperial Court, Jiubian, and even the Monster Clan to tap into.

The resources earned from the market can be used to upgrade the blood pool, continue to expand production capacity, and upgrade products.

‘But the current production capacity of the workshop is too low. I have to mobilize some funds from the Chamber of Commerce to purchase elixirs and upgrade the blood pool. ’
