Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 410: How can food matters be considered business?

It has been nearly half a month since Yang Qian and Jiang Yun separated.

Jiang Yun stayed in that secret place and refused to come out. He asked his junior brothers and sisters to send some food in. It seemed that he was going to stay there for a long time.

Yang Qian named that secret realm: Sword Domain.

The origin of this name is the "Sword Tomb" mentioned by the black-robed man that Yang Qian met in the illusion before. He took these two words as the name.

Yang Qian understood the choice made by Jiang Yun and others from the Tianhan Sect.

A sect went from prosperity to decline, with only a dozen disciples left. The psychological insecurity, fear and sense of responsibility are definitely not something others can imagine.

People like Jiang Yun who came from legitimate sects had all fallen into the state of being robbed, which shows how difficult it was.

All this is caused by lack of strength.

Now that they finally have a shortcut to get a glimpse of the meaning, the last dozen or so people in the Tianhan Sect will naturally rush in at the risk of their lives.

And now is the best time. The demons and bandits in Shuangqing Prefecture chose to hide temporarily after being slaughtered by Yang Qian. No one knows where they have gone. Therefore, it is absolutely safe near the prefecture city, and there is no need to worry about the sword domain being discovered and robbed.

If they could take advantage of the opportunity to cultivate the sword spirit, the strength of the people in Tianhan Sect would increase several times. By then, reviving the glory of the sect would not be something they could only think about in their heads like before.

As for the temple construction, Yang Qian wanted Jiang Yun to find someone to build it himself, and he would make it easier. There was no rush for this matter.

There are two other things that Yang Qian considers to be urgent matters at the moment.

First, he had to be familiar with the "Air Slashing Technique" and use it as the core to rebuild his own fighting style and tactical means. Yang Qian felt that this was definitely a method worth exploring. When he had sorted out these, it was time for him to enter the Sword Domain again to continue exploring.

Secondly, before Wanli Zhuhai came to the door, all the light and dark problems in Shuangqing Prefecture should be solved first. Otherwise, just killing the damned people would not be enough for the people of Shuangqing Prefecture.

The first thing Yang Qian does every day now. He will think about it whenever he has free time. When he returns to his residence at night, he will use the knife holder to print out the things he thought about during the day to see the actual effect. In general, it can be regarded as steady improvement.

Yang Qian was also pushing forward the second thing, but Cui Mingsheng was doing the surface work, while Yang Qian was doing the secret work.

Regardless of whether Cui Mingsheng understood or not, Yang Qian directly asked Cui Mingsheng to draft a new policy, under the pretext of "maintaining food security in Shuangqing Prefecture", to wipe out all the land and grain business under the name of Zhao Xinquan, the largest grain merchant and landlord in Linshui City. Zhao Xinquan's whereabouts were unknown.

After the consolidation, all these businesses were put under the name of the government office in the prefecture city and were managed by the Civil Affairs Department of the government office. Of course, the actual decision was made by Yang Qian himself.

At first glance, this was Yang Qian's way of gaining control of a vital lifeline in Shuangqing Prefecture. At the same time, his strategy was similar to Xiao Cangyu's at the time, except that it was more direct. Xiao Cangyu cultivated Zhao Xinquan to control the grain trade in Linshui City, while Yang Qian did it directly without asking anyone else.

Cui Mingsheng actually didn't find it strange at all, he just thought that what Yang Qian did was natural. It was not until Yang Qian asked Cui Mingsheng to replace all the grain receiving and sending personnel in the carriage and horse shop, rice pounding shop, warehouse, etc. under Zhao Xinquan's name and transferred them from other cities to take up the positions, that he didn't quite understand and felt that this was completely unnecessary.

But under Yang Qian's insistence, Cui Mingsheng still implemented these changes, which he thought were completely unnecessary.

For a moment, the whole Linshui City was in a state of panic. After all, most people in Linshui City depended on the surrounding fields for their survival.

Later, with the full support of Li Yifu, the tenants who farmed the land were first stabilized. For them, it didn't matter who they farmed for. The only change was the recipient of grain. They would not make trouble because of this. The people who really wanted to make trouble were the people in the rice mill, warehouse, and carriage and horse shop. Some even injured the yamen runners. In the end, Li Yifu asked the military commander to kill more than 30 people in Linshui City in one breath before the situation calmed down.

While people in both Linshui City and Fucheng were secretly discussing Yang Qian's strong and uncompromising desire for control, some other people expressed worry and uneasiness about it.

On the outskirts of Linshui City, Beisanzhuang.

The village is still busy as usual, working from sunrise to sunset, and the curling smoke always brings a sense of fireworks here, and it also seems full of vitality. This is an ordinary village in Linshui City. Compared with other places, the people of Linshui City do live much better.

The village is most lively when the sun sets and everyone returns home from work.

It slowly became quiet after dark.

Few people light lamps at night. After all, lighting lamps and burning oil are still a bit of a luxury for the people in Beisanzhuang.

However, in a windowless room in the backyard of a house, several people were sitting around. They not only lit the lamps but also set out a table with roast chicken and liquor. They ate and drank very casually. Except for the way they were dressed, they did not look like farmers at all.

"What should we do? Yang has ruined everything!"

"What else can we do? There's no way this matter can be kept secret. We have to report this to the master."

"Alas, we have just had a few days of good life, but it was ruined by someone like this. Yang Qian really deserves to die!"

"Hmph, this guy won't live long. When the Taoist master's magical power is perfected, Yang Qian will definitely die! But if the Taoist master blames us now, it will be difficult for you and me to explain.

What do you think? You should think of a solution, right? "

Several people sat around, and they were filled with righteous indignation when talking about Yang Qian, but they were silent when talking about countermeasures. They were not stupid. Facing Yang Qian, who had a great record in Shuangqing Prefecture, they would definitely die if they dared to show their heads, let alone do anything against him.

"What can we do? Yang Qian just wants to control the food in Shuangqing Prefecture. We are just innocent innocents. What else can we do? We will just accept the punishment when the time comes. We won't go looking for trouble and get ourselves killed, right?"

"You can't say that. We have just taken two blood pills and have just started practicing. If we are punished, we will never have such a good opportunity again. We must think of a way!

We can't deal with Yang Qian, and we can't continue to mix the divine ash into the food as before, so let's change direction. What else besides food can be circulated and eaten by people? As long as we can find an alternative strategy, we may not only avoid being punished, but also make a contribution! "

"That sounds like the way to say it! But what's the alternative?"

"How about exchanging it for salt? That stuff is also scattered all over the place. And the source is easy to control, it's in those two salt-producing cities."

"Yes! That's a good idea!"

"Then report the situation to the master and see if it works."
