Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 190 0189: Solve doubts; find talents!

Now, Cheng Zongyang was also excited.

"Did you really find copper and iron mines?"

It would be a lie to say I'm not excited. The purpose of bringing the mole out, besides digging holes, is exactly this.

With copper and iron mines, we can do a lot of things.

If he could research the composition of Daliang copper coins, perhaps he could make a large number of copper coins himself when he gets married.

Daliang does not allow private mining of the four minerals of gold, silver, copper and iron. After all, the interests involved are too great.

As for copper coins, there are three types of currency under the rule of the Thirteen Royal Families.

The currency of Jin, the currency of Daliang, and the currency of Xiliang.

This is because the thirteen royal families are sandwiched between these three countries, forming a triangle area.

Therefore, in order to develop their own businesses, they unified the currencies of these three countries so that goods could circulate normally.

Now their territory is in Daliang, and the currency they use is the currency of Daliang.

If you want to go to other countries in the future, in addition to gold and silver, copper coins can be converted into copper coins of other countries without affecting their use.

Now that we have copper and iron ores, if we can analyze the composition of copper coins and then produce them in batches, it will greatly alleviate some problems.

He asked Zhou Zhendong: "Are these two mines underground or in the open air?"

Zhou Zhendong thought for a moment and said, “Part of the iron ore is open-air, but the copper mine is underground, but not very deep.

My uncle said that the mole found it after digging a part of it. But the problem is that if you want to mine without the help of the mole, it will be a hard job and difficult to do. And there are not enough people.

My uncle asked me to talk to you and see if we can find more people or get a few more mole beasts.

Otherwise, the mole beasts would have to dig holes and mine at the same time, and they wouldn’t be able to take care of everything.”

Cheng Zongyang smiled bitterly and said, "The county town has stabilized now, and there will be very few people who want to leave. And ordinary people can't be brought in casually. It will take some time to slowly select the right people to bring in.
As for the mole beast, there is nothing we can do. The man has disappeared and we cannot buy it."

Zhou Zhendong said with regret: "That's right, but it's a pity that there is only one. It would be better if there were more. It digs holes really fast. Just that tunnel has already dug two miles.

The claws dug the hole just as easily as we dug mud and water with our hands. The people who cleaned up the mud at the back didn't have time to carry it out.

Moreover, the areas around the holes he dug were extremely solid, just like fired earthen bricks. It was amazing.

I estimate that it will take half a month to dig to Jinqiao Village. This time is wasted on comparing positions and shoveling soil. "

Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and said:

“It’s not so easy to find people to get in now, unless they are orphans.

If the copper mine and iron mine are found, there is no need to worry. Just mark them and wait until the tunnel is dug.

My father knows that the tunnel is the most important thing at the moment. It is related to the transportation of materials in the future. He will deal with this matter first and then let the mole beast deal with the minerals. Don't worry."

Zhou Zhendong nodded: "Okay, then I will take people to deal with the matters of those shops."

Cheng Zongyang said: "Okay, have a good rest tonight and do it tomorrow."

"It's okay. I'll take Zong Ying to the pharmacy and come back later."

Zhou Zhendong chuckled and left with a knife.

"Brother, I'm leaving first." Cheng Zongying waved his hand.

"Okay." Cheng Zongyang said with a smile, "If you have anything to say, tell your brother Zhendong."

"Uh-huh."

After the two left, Cheng Zongyang felt a little uncomfortable looking at the empty door.

After thinking for a while and realizing that there was nothing else to do, he hung a sign at the door that said "Do Not Disturb During Practice", locked the door, and entered the wilderness.

Appearing in the market hut, Cheng Zongyang looked at the various prompt interfaces that popped up in front of him and closed them one by one. Finally, he found two that he was more concerned about.

First, the purchase of red jade Ganoderma lucidum in the purchase column was successful.

Second, the hunting team hunted down a strange beast called the Ironback Boar King.

The points increased by ten points. This point amount, if you guessed it correctly, is a one-star level.

As for the rest of the hints, he ignored them.

But this is not what he cares about. Zhang Jinquan will take care of the red jade Ganoderma lucidum and the strange beasts, so he doesn't need to make any arrangements.

He found Luo Dingran who was planning a new territory.

There was something he needed the other party to give him some ideas on. After all, in terms of management experience, the other party was dozens of streets ahead of him.

There were two chairs at the door of the market hut, one for each of them.

After listening to Cheng Zongyang's talk about Li Mingxin's decentralization and his own ideas, Luo Dingran also fell into deep thought.

At this time, Luo Dingran did not expect that the new person in power would not value power so much and give it up without any concern.

And the purpose is simply to make it easier for oneself to practice.

For local forces, this is simply a pie in the sky.

Of course, this emphasizes the strength of the Li family, and they don't have to worry about those families daring to cause trouble after giving up power.

After a while, Luo Dingran said:
"I understand your idea. I do not recommend your idea of ​​taking over the entire county directly. There are three reasons."

Cheng Zongyang didn't refute or rush, just listened quietly. After all, it was just a thought that came to mind.

"First of all, you haven't really grasped the situation of the six families. You only know some simple situations in these six families. The information obtained by those warriors during the interrogation is also superficial.

Apart from other things, if the county city has connections with them, you will get into more trouble if you move.

Secondly, it is Li Mingxin's attitude. You need to understand his attitude. Although he doesn't like trouble, you also need to ask where the bottom line is.

Third, do you have the confidence to face the counterattack from a stronger force. Behind the stronger force are deeper relationships, one layer after another. Once the interests are sufficient, it is not difficult to let Li Mingxin turn a blind eye and deal with you. If you have the confidence to resist, then the first and third points are not a problem. "

Cheng Zongyang frowned and asked, "You mean, as long as we find out Li Mingxin's attitude?"

Luo Dingran said, "Yes, as long as he agrees, or doesn't interfere. Then there is nothing to worry about later. Another question is, by then the development pressure of the entire county will be on you. Are you sure this is what you want?"

This last sentence silenced Cheng Zongyang.

He forgot that.

It is good to eliminate all the forces, but does it also mean that the management of the county will return to its previous state?

When I thought about how I was responsible for the food and drink of the entire county, I suddenly felt numb.

Now he was sober.

Seeing Cheng Zongyang's expression, Luo Dingran also smiled:

"So, even if you want to take over the entire county, you can only wait until the county is running normally. Even if there is chaos, as long as the county's food, drink, housing and transportation are not affected, you can do whatever you want."

Cheng Zongyang nodded.

This is in line with his idea.

The idea of ​​destroying the other six families was just a momentary thought, otherwise he would not have asked Ma Yue to deliver the letter.

Now, after Luo Dingran's analysis, he finally understood what was wrong with him.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you." Cheng Zongyang smiled. "It's good that you figure it out, sir." Luo Dingran bowed.

"It's really good to have a military advisor." Cheng Zongyang laughed. Then he asked, "Haven't you bought the high-level soul crystal yet?"

"No." Luo Dingran smiled bitterly, "The price has been set at 3,000 points, but it's still not available. Also, the mine needs moles to dig more areas."

Cheng Zongyang shook his head: "There is no way at the moment. I still have use for the mole beast. It will be more difficult over there. Do you have enough tools?"

Luo Dingran said: "That's enough."

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Cheng Zongyang left the wilderness world.

At the same time, in a residential building in the south of the city.

Zhang Chuqi was sitting in the main room with a somewhat thin middle-aged man.

"Brother Zhang, why are you here so late? Is there something urgent?" Li Yihe asked a little nervously.

Ever since the An family was ransacked and the county was in chaos, he has been worried and afraid.

Zhang Chuqi had never come to his house at such an early hour and thought something had happened.

Zhang Chuqi simply drank a sip of tea and looked at Li Yihe seriously:
"An...Brother Li, I came here so late because I have something urgent to do. I just want to ask you one thing. Do you want to settle down completely and no longer worry about being retaliated by some people and living in fear?"

This not only did not make Li Yihe relax, but made him more nervous. He asked, "Did something happen?"

Zhang Chuqi felt that his mouth was still a little dry, so he poured himself another cup of tea to moisten his throat and eliminate the thirst from walking all the way.

After recovering, Zhang Chuqi smiled and said, "Something happened, but it's a good thing."

Without waiting for Li Yihe to speak, Zhang Chuqi continued: "I have told you before about the host family I am in now, right?"

Li Yihe heard this, thought about it, nodded and said: "I have heard of it, Cheng family? But I have never heard of it before."

Zhang Chuqi said: "These are not important. You don't know the current situation in the city. I will tell you briefly..."

He then briefly explained the information he had obtained from Cheng Zongyang.

In the shocked eyes of Li Yihe, he got to the point and said, "It doesn't matter what the Cheng family's origins are. What's important is that they need talents now. The Cheng family is currently planning to develop businesses in the county and needs talents. I mentioned you to him."

At this point, Li Yihe got anxious: "No, why did you mention me?"

The An family was raided, and he became a frightened bird. He had no strength, and his past identity became a complete burden. He was afraid that he would be noticed and his family would suffer again.

The An family once offended many people.

Zhang Chuqi frowned and said, "The young master is different. He needs talents. He doesn't care about your past or your past status. He can use people even if they are street people or vagrants. What's more,..."

At this point, he moved closer and whispered, "Almost everyone who follows him can become a warrior!"

This time, Li Yihe was stunned.

Zhang Chuqi sighed and said, "If it weren't for the two honest and dull boys in my family who couldn't get things done, I would also like to recommend them to the young master. Even if they just do some errands, after a long time, I beg the young master again, and they may become warriors.

Brother Li, it's all over now, and you have the ability. In that case, why don't you meet the young master? If you are really favored by the young master, your family will have a better life and will not have to worry about it, and the young master will not treat you unfairly.

If you don't like it, you can just come back here and continue your previous life. It won't affect anything at all.

Besides, with your ability, you are more than qualified to be a shopkeeper, and your family's life will be improved."

Li Yihe was silent for a moment, then asked, "Now that the entire west city is under the control of the Cheng family and the Tianduan Gang, he is not afraid that the other six families will join forces to clean him up first. Are they?"

Zhang Chuqi frowned and said, "No matter what your status is, you should put yourself in the right position. This is not something I should think about, nor is it something I can interfere with. I am the housekeeper of the mansion, and I just need to take care of the affairs of the mansion."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and finally said, "I'll give you a chance. If you're willing, come to see me at No. 21, Yunli 9th Lane, Northwest Street, tomorrow morning. I'll take you to see the young master."

After saying that, he walked out.

Seeing this, Li Yihe hurriedly followed and sent Zhang Chuqi to the door, then whispered: "Brother Zhang, I know your good intentions, and I will remember this kindness. But let me think about it for one night. No matter what, I will come to tell you tomorrow morning."

Zhang Chuqi nodded slightly.

Northwest Street in the city, Yunli Lane, the study in the backyard of Cheng Mansion.

"Sir, all the letters have been sent out. So far, the Xu family, the Qiu family, the Liu family, the Ding family, and the He family have responded. Only the Lu family has not responded."

Ma Yue reported the matter and added at the end: "In addition, the Lu family is very hostile, and I am worried that they will cause trouble."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Zongyang smiled and said:
"Don't worry about that. Go find Xu Dong and see if he needs any help. Just pick me up before noon tomorrow."

"Do you need me to pick up Boss Li first?" Ma Yue bowed and asked again.

"No need, he will have his own carriage in the future. He will go by himself tomorrow." Cheng Zongyang said.

"Then I'll take my leave." Ma Yue left.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Cheng Zongyang practiced the Phantom Sword Technique in the open space in the backyard. The Phantom Sword Technique was extremely difficult to learn, and his current progress was only at 53 points.

But fortunately, after many times of practice, the speed of swinging the sword is much faster than before.

Nowadays, when you swing the knife, all you can see are basically knife flowers.

At the gate of Cheng's house, Li Yihe was already waiting at the door.

Seeing Li Yihe coming so early, Zhang Chuqi nodded slightly, very satisfied with Li Yihe's attitude, and said:
"The young master is practicing martial arts, so you can't disturb him. Follow me first. We'll talk after the young master has finished practicing."

Li Yihe nodded in agreement.

After a night of thinking and looking at his wife and children, he finally decided to take another gamble.

He had had enough of being hunted everywhere by his enemies.

His current status is no longer the same as before, and he needs to support the family all year round. He is powerless, and the only thing he can come up with is his business skills.

Now that he can find a place to use his talents and use this ability to help his family live a good life again, he doesn't think too much about it.

As for whether he could become a warrior, that depended on fate. After all, he was not young anymore.

In the backyard, Zhang Chuqi came to a corner alone and watched Cheng Zongyang swinging his sword with great force and speed, with the shadow of the sword almost invisible. He was amazed at the skill and envious at the same time.

Although he didn't know much about martial arts, it didn't stop him from personally thinking that not many people would be able to block a knife with such a fast speed, right?

As a man with one foot half in the coffin, he no longer has any thoughts of becoming a warrior, but who didn’t dream of becoming a warrior when they were young?

It’s a pity that his two younger brothers are useless and don’t have this blessing.

Therefore, I just want to serve well, do my part, and make my family live a better life.

After waiting for about an hour, Cheng Zongyang stopped practicing the Phantom Sword.

It seems that my proficiency has only increased a little, and I've gotten used to it.

Zhang Chuqi, who was not far away, saw this and immediately said to one of the two maids beside him:
"Xiao Cui, go and bring breakfast and tea to the main room."

"Yes, butler." The maid responded and turned and left in a hurry.

Zhang Chuqi then signaled to another maid holding a plate and said, "Follow me."

The maid nodded and followed.

There were two sweat towels on the plate in his hand, which were used to wipe Cheng Zongyang's sweat.
