As a lord, I was forced to farm

In fact, there were only three teleportation arrays. There was no need to encircle such a large area and build three more floors. However, the main reason why Jiang Ran did this was that she expected that the flow of people in Anlin Hall would definitely be large in the future, so she reserved some shops. Come out and open a few restaurants and grocery stores in Anlin Hall. That would also be a good business.

Moreover, Jiang Ran's plan was not small. He intended to make Anlin Hall collect land money and absorb teleportation arrays from outside cities like Bi Duanting.

Of course, Suling is not well-known now, and it is not as foolish as that force to invest tens of millions worth of teleportation arrays in Suling County.

When Jiang Ran and Chen Mao entered the Anlin Hall, they saw several familiar figures.

Li Tianliang wore a black square hat and a well-made black robe embroidered with silver thread. He had gained two points of weight. Of course he was not fat, he was just a little stronger than two years ago.

The Shuxu Chamber of Commerce is supported by the Suling County government, and Li Tianliang is the president of the Shuxu Caravan. As the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Li Tianliang can't rest. He follows the caravan as always, transporting goods to Ming via the teleportation array every morning. Xiaocheng, returning in the afternoon, is the most common activity of the day for Shuxu Chamber of Commerce.

After the news that there were troops stationed in Anlin Square and that there was a teleportation array in Suling County spread to the outside world, of course, outsiders with malicious intentions did not want to inquire about the information. There were even assassins who tried to destroy the teleportation array in the dark, but luckily they were discovered in time.

But from that time on, entry and exit controls at Anlin Square became more stringent.

Now everyone in Shuxu Chamber of Commerce is being inspected by soldiers, their household registration is checked, and they are checked to see if they have relevant documents and procedures.

In Suling County, the two caravans that used teleportation arrays most frequently were Jiang Ran's two caravans—Li Tianliang's Shuxu Chamber of Commerce and the Qingchen Caravan established by Qianyu.

There are also frequent exchanges between the two caravans, exchanging goods from Xiaoliangshan, Chaolian County City and Mingxiao City respectively.

As mentioned before, there are many alchemists and weapon refiners in Mingxiao City, so some low-level elixirs and magic weapons are cheaper than those from Tianchen and Chaolian.

For example, a bottle of high-grade Mortal Water Spirit Pill costs about one hundred spirit crystals in Chaolian County City, but in Mingxiao City, a bottle of the same grade Water Spirit Pill costs only about eighty spirit crystals.

This bottle of elixir produced a price difference of twenty spirit crystals, and the difference between the Qingchen Chamber of Commerce and the Shuxu Chamber of Commerce was earned by this difference.

However, the price difference that Qingchen Chamber of Commerce can make is due to this teleportation array. After all, Jiang Ran and the others know that Ming Xiao's things are cheap, aren't there other smart people?

Even though the Suling area is relatively peaceful, it is said that the Chaolian area is very chaotic, especially the refugees who fled from Hanyuan. Most of them have become bandits. In this case, businessmen without strength I dare not travel far, let alone do business.

During the short period of Jiang Ran's inspection, Li Tianliang and others had discovered Jiang Ran and Chen Mao.

Li Tianliang greeted him, "I have met the county lord, Mr. Chen."

"No need to be polite."

Li Tianliang's eyes were smiling, "Sir, the Chamber of Commerce's account books for last year have been handed over to you. Have you taken the time to read them?"

"I've seen it." What Li Tianliang handed over to Jiang Ran was not only the account book, but also 90% of Shuxu Chamber of Commerce's revenue last year, which amounted to more than 310,000 spirit crystals and more than 90,000 gold yuan.

Although the nominal president of Shuxu Caravan is Li Tianliang, the actual boss is Jiang Ran.

Of course, Li Tianliang was not dissatisfied at all. On the contrary, he was very happy, because of the remaining 10% of income, a dozen backbones of the chamber of commerce accounted for half, other small employees accounted for half and a half, and the remaining quarter, It belongs to him, Li Tianliang. Calculated, in one year, he earned eight to nine thousand spirit crystals and more than two thousand gold yuan! Although a businessman needs to be bold, how can he, a mortal without any cultivation, be able to make a lot of money in a year that a monk cannot make in a year!

Moreover, in addition to dividends, they also have a fixed salary every month.

"As long as you have seen it." Li Tianliang touched the ring set with green gems on his index finger and showed an honest smile.

Jiang Ran glanced at the ring, "Isn't this the space ring from the Chamber of Commerce?"

"The county master is indeed aware of everything and cannot hide it from your eyes. This is a fake space ring, but it is really here." Li Tianliang scratched his neck with his hand and took out a green ring exactly like the one on his hand.

This space ring belongs to the Shuxu caravan. It is a cube space with a side length of one foot. The ring originally belonged to Jiang Ran. In order to allow the caravan to transport goods conveniently, it was lent to the caravan for use.

But later, when the caravan made money, it spent 50,000 spirit crystals to buy it from Jiang Ran. From then on, the ring truly became the asset of Shuxu Chamber of Commerce.

Li Tianliang and the others are still very smart. Fifty thousand spirit crystals cannot buy a storage ring with such a large space elsewhere. At most, they can buy a storage bag with half the space.

Li Tianliang was keenly aware of Jiang Ran's gaze. He was afraid that Jiang Ran would misunderstand that he was using the ring as a personal item, so Runwu explained quietly, "Your Majesty, you are not afraid of embarrassing me if you tell me. Is there anyone in Mingxiao City?" Many gangsters focus on the 'fat sheep' with the space ring on their hands. Once the fat sheep takes it lightly, they will take the ring away without knowing how hard they use it. You don't know, every time I wear this space ring I was worried about the ring, so I hung the real ring around my neck. When I left the caravan and went home, I dared to breathe a sigh of relief and put the space ring in the chamber of commerce."

"You don't need to explain so much to me. Since I have handed over the management of Shuxu Chamber of Commerce to you, I will not hesitate to give you trust." How could Jiang Ran not know Li Tianliang's concerns and smiled.

Li Tianliang also smiled.

"County Master, our Shuxu Chamber of Commerce has developed to a certain scale. We have hundreds of clerks under us, and we also have relatively regular customers in Mingxiao. I was wondering if we could rent a storefront in Mingxiao City as our base. .”

Jiang Ran touched his chin and thought for a moment.

Shuxu Chamber of Commerce faces Mingxiao, and its most exported products are seafood purchased from Nanzhu Village, ginseng and other medicinal materials brought from Qingchen Chamber of Commerce, and grains such as wheat.

Sometimes these things cannot be sold out in one day, and the Shuxu caravan basically comes and goes once a day, which makes it very tight.

There are no stores, and unsold products can only be taken back.

If you have your own store in Mingxiao, it will be much more convenient.

The most important thing is that Shuxu Caravan has already made money and Jiang Ran has no reason to refuse a store.

"Shuxu Chamber of Commerce still has 20,000 crystal yuan in funds?" Jiang Ran raised her head and asked Li Tianliang.

The Shuxu Chamber of Commerce distributed dividends last month. Any business has costs. Before the dividends were distributed, the Chamber of Commerce set aside a portion of the funds.

Li Tianliang nodded, "Yes."
