Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 241 0240: Purchasing Position; Huangfu Family Intelligence

At the door of the market hut.

After listening to Cheng Zongyang's question, Luo Dingran did not answer in a hurry, but began to think about it.

What position can benefit both the Cheng family and the development of the wilderness world?

The option Cheng Zongyang gave was purchasing from the acquisition department.

The acquisition section is divided into three small departments - pawn, acquisition, and procurement.

The former needs no further explanation, as the name implies, pawning and buying and selling. Just like the jewelry that Cheng Zongyang will sell to the Chamber of Commerce later, it will be handled by the pawn department of the acquisition department.

Acquisition means purchasing mountain products, merchants’ products, family businesses, etc.

As for purchasing, it means going out to look for goods that are beneficial to the Chamber of Commerce and in large quantities.

These three departments have their own division of labor, but they are equally important.

The reason why Cheng Zongyang chose to purchase was that he could go out, and secondly, it was convenient for the Cheng family, the Tianduan Gang, and even the Wilderness World to sell items or purchase items in the Wilderness World to earn points.

As long as the process is compliant and can bring profits to the Chamber of Commerce, it may not matter how or where he purchases it.

After thinking for a while, Luo Dingran said, "The purchasing position is indeed good. Compared with other departments, this position is the most suitable. I don't have any better suggestions."

Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly: "Then I'll take the purchasing position. But I'm afraid there will be a lot of things to do later, and I don't know if I can arrange for my own people to take the position."

Luo Dingran smiled and said, "You will be a deacon by then, so you still have the power to appoint and dismiss people. As long as it does not violate the rules of the Chamber of Commerce. Even if you take a step back, considering your relationship with the steward, he won't care about such a small matter."

Cheng Zongyang stopped thinking about it and said to Luo Dingran:

"Categorize those jewels. I will find time to sell them for silver later. Also, since I'm a purchaser, I can start planning some things in the future. After all, some things can be sold for points."

Luo Dingran smiled and said, "Okay."

That's why he didn't have any better suggestions.

This purchasing department has so many options at its disposal. As long as they follow reasonable, legal and proper procedures, they can abuse public power for personal gain.

It was night in a blink of an eye.

During this period, Li Lu reported that Chen Kaishan and Zheng Tianhai had been arranged to live in two separate courtyards.

So in the evening, Cheng Zongyang went to Chen Kaishan's home and explained that he decided to buy the purchasing position of the department.

After Chen Kaishan found out, he agreed without thinking too much. It was his choice.

However, Chen Kaishan also explained some of the new requirements to Cheng Zongyang. In the future, there will be certain performance requirements every month, so that the Chamber of Commerce can ensure sufficient supply of goods.

Unless it is really impossible to purchase, we will ask the headquarters for it.

In response to this, Cheng Zongyang also expressed that there was no problem.

Commodities such as crops can be grown in the Wilderness World if they are arranged in advance, and they can be purchased directly from him later.

Chen Kaishan also talked about reporting some things and it is estimated that there will be results in about two or three days.

Cheng Zongyang was not in a hurry. Population was not a big deal for the Dayi Chamber of Commerce. There were countless serious criminals and death row prisoners in various places. These people could be sent to him as a favor, and he could clean up these scum at the same time.

Therefore, Cheng Zongyang basically didn't think there would be any problem with the population. As for the rest, it all depended on their attitude.

After leaving, Cheng Zongyang did not do anything else for the next few days. He basically studied the formation book and the text on the stone carvings.

The time came to July 8th.

Afternoon, Yunli Lane, Cheng’s house.

"Please inform them that the manager of Dayi Chamber of Commerce is visiting."

At the door, Chen Kaishan was alone and spoke politely to a young man.

When Zhang Zeyu heard the name "Dayi Chamber of Commerce", he also bowed and said, "Is it Manager Chen? My young master is practicing. But I have told you in advance that if anyone from the Chamber of Commerce is here, please come in for tea. Manager Chen, please come in!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Kaishan smiled and followed Zhang Zeyu inside.

Zhang Zeyu took Chen Kaishan to the living room, and on the way, he asked a maid to bring two cups of tea.

A moment later, Cheng Zongyang, who was studying formation equipment in the Wild World Bookstore, heard Zhang Zeyu's voice, and handed the things to Ding Xing to sort out, and his figure disappeared in the bookstore.

As the study door opened, Zhang Zeyu bowed and said, "Master, Manager Chen is here. He is drinking tea in the living room."

"Okay." Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly.

In the living room of the backyard, Cheng Zongyang arrived before he even showed up: "Uncle Chen, I'm sorry for not coming to meet you in person."

In the living room, Chen Kaishan, who was holding a teacup, saw Cheng Zongyang walking in quickly, with his hands clasped together and a smile on his face.

Chen Kaishan stood up and smiled: "You're welcome. I'm sorry to disturb your practice by coming here suddenly."

Cheng Zongyang sat down and said with a smile: "You can practice at any time. Uncle Chen, are you here with any news?"

He didn't beat around the bush. Both parties were busy and they were not strangers, so there was no need to say any extra polite words.

After Chen Kaishan sat down, he nodded and said, "Yes, I received the message this afternoon. After discussing it, I came to talk to you."

"You go ahead." Cheng Zongyang gestured.

After Chen Kaishan organized his words, he slowly said:
"The headquarters has already responded to the three questions you raised. The first is the population issue. This is not a problem. You can have as much as you want, and we can deliver it to you from the capital or other places. This is considered support and investment from the Chamber of Commerce, but the Chamber of Commerce has also made changes to the second requirement.

This year is the first year of trying to cooperate. There is only one requirement: 2 million kilograms of rice seeds. Nothing less! If the cooperation is successful in the first year, we will sign a long-term cooperation contract again in the second year. "

Cheng Zongyang was both happy and sad when he heard this, but he looked thoughtful.

The good news is that population is not a problem, which means that there will be no worries about the source of corpses for soul crystals in the future. The worry is that the points are insufficient, the number of soul crystals purchased is not enough, and the speed of gathering soul power is slow, which means that there is a shortage of soul slaves.

As for the annual demand of two million kilograms of rice seeds, this is not a problem at all.

Taking into account the talent increase of some soul slaves who are responsible for the intensive cultivation of some farmland, it also means that the planting volume is no less than 600 acres, and it is the level of planting in carrion soil!

He has only a little over a hundred soul slaves. Excluding the personnel of the hunting team, the personnel who are mining the ruins of villages, towns and counties, the personnel who are mining minerals, and the personnel in charge of some major departments, there are only about forty people who can spare time for farming.

I want to be responsible for 600 acres of land, 13 acres per person. This can be done, but it will be much slower.

But fortunately, this is the demand for a year, not just a season. In the wilderness world, there are three harvests a year, and as long as 700,000 kilograms of harvest is completed in one season, the annual harvest can be achieved.

In other words, with only 200 mu of land, the annual demand of 2 million catties can be met. In this way, with more than 40 people responsible for the cultivated land, 4 to 5 mu per person is more than enough!
He could also cultivate more land later, and the number of soul slaves would increase. The arable land would only increase, and he would not worry about the increase in demand even if they continued to cooperate in the second year.

After thinking for half a cup of tea, Cheng Zongyang looked at Chen Kaishan and nodded, "Okay, as long as there are enough people, we can still do it with some effort and hard work. But the first batch of people should still be 900 as agreed before."

Chen Kaishan smiled and said, "You are indeed courageous. Then let's talk about the third thing, the information about the Huangfu family's ancestral land that you want."

"Hurry up and tell me." Cheng Zongyang suddenly became energetic.

Although the content of the stone carving has been translated, he wants to find that translation so that he can compare the purchased translation to see if it is accurate. He also wants to know if there are other text translations of the translation.

In addition, he wanted to know whether there were any monster bones in that ancestral land!
At the same time, he will also investigate whether anyone among the forces that divided the property from the Huangfu family took away the monster bones.

If the Huangfu family had taken the monster bones from the first host, he could be sure that the Huangfu family did not know the function of the monster bones, but only used them to scare animals, thus dividing them into many parts.

Chen Kaishan smiled and said, "This information is your reward for helping the Great Yi Chamber of Commerce to establish a branch. Otherwise, it is basically not sold to the general public. Even if you pay to buy it, the price will not be less than 100,000 taels."

Cheng Zongyang was secretly shocked. He knew that information intelligence could make money, but he had never thought that it could be made in this way.

A piece of information is worth more than one hundred thousand, and not everyone can afford it!
At this time, Chen Kaishan said seriously:

"At present, the Dayi Chamber of Commerce has discovered five ancestral sites of the Huangfu family. Two of them are ancestral temples where the Huangfu family has publicly held sacrifices many times. These two places have been almost completely demolished. Apart from the spirit tablets, there are only a pile of ruins and nothing else.

But there are three other ancestral sites that were investigated. The first one is in Linchuan Prefecture, in a town called Qingniu Town under the jurisdiction of Lingtu County, but the town has been abandoned; the second one is in Linchuan Prefecture, in a place called Qingyun Village under the jurisdiction of Guang'an County, which is also abandoned. There is no place related to the ancestral hall in these two places. The third one is in Xiangyang Prefecture... here!"

"Here?" Cheng Zongyang was stunned and didn't react for a while: "What do you mean?"

Chen Kaishan shook his head slightly: "It is Yufeng County. It is also suspected to be the ancestral home of the Huangfu family. But this is all speculation and legend, and it cannot be verified because there is nothing related to the Huangfu family. This is what the Dayi Chamber of Commerce guessed based on some information left by the Huangfu family."

After saying that, his eyes were fixed on Cheng Zongyang, as if he wanted to see something from Cheng Zongyang's expression.

There was one thing he didn't tell Cheng Zongyang. The reason why Dayi Chamber of Commerce agreed to open a branch here was also for this reason. It was just that when he encountered Cheng Zongyang's matter, he agreed to it.

He also knew these three pieces of information, but he couldn't find any clues.

Cheng Zongyang had already frowned at this time.

I have never heard of Qingniu Town and Qingyun Village, so I don't know much about the situation there.

As for the two places that were discovered, given the nature of those forces and the Dayi Chamber of Commerce, it is estimated that only bricks and wood will be left.

But could this Yufeng County be the ancestral home of the Huangfu family?

Cheng Zongyang shook his head slightly and said, "This is really hard to find."

But then he suddenly asked: "Uncle Chen, do you know anything about the first head of the Huangfu family? Or, when did he die? Where is his grave?"

At this moment, Chen Kaishan narrowed his eyes slightly, with a strange look in his eyes, and asked curiously: "Why are you asking him? He is just a person who has been dead for nearly 60 years."

Cheng Zongyang was stunned for a moment before he realized that the Huangfu family had only been around for about two hundred years.

According to the situation, after the first Huangfu family patriarch obtained the stone carving, he practiced the Xiantian Yiqi Jue. If he had good talent, he would have practiced all the way to the Xiantian. Later, he must have died because he could not break through the Xiantian.

"What was his original cultivation level? Where was he buried?" Cheng Zongyang asked again.

Chen Kaishan continued to stare at Cheng Zongyang and replied:

"This is not a secret. Anyone who has seriously investigated the Huangfu family knows that the first head of the Huangfu family was named Huangfu Ren. He was also a martial arts genius.

He had already reached the Great Perfection of Xiantian when he was only 70 years old. But in order to break through Xiantian, he went into seclusion in the clan temple after he stepped down as clan leader, but he still couldn't break through until his death. This is even more despairing. It is said that his grave was also sent back to the ancestral land for burial, but no one has found it. "

Cheng Zongyang pondered again, but this time he did not think for long, and said to Chen Kaishan: "Uncle Chen, thank you very much for your help this time. Has the Chamber of Commerce's transit warehouse and store address been built according to the plan?"

He didn't dwell on the things that he couldn't figure out right now and decided to ask some people about it later.

As for the location of the transit warehouse and shops, just as Li Yihe had planned, with the efforts of Cheng Zongyang, they were built in Area No. 3, which is the area on the other side of the official road.

The shop covers an area of ​​seven acres. The drawings have been obtained and we just need to build it according to the drawings.

"Okay. When do you want it back for human matters?" Chen Kaishan asked calmly.

After thinking for a while, Cheng Zongyang said, "At any time, the number of staff will be set at 900. Send someone to inform me when the time comes, and I will have someone arrange a place for them."

"Okay." Chen Kaishan stood up and didn't sit for long.

Cheng Zongyang saw him off to the door, but when he was leaving, Chen Kaishan suddenly looked at Cheng Zongyang with a smile on his face: "What do you think of the ancestral land and tombs you just mentioned? If it makes sense, the Chamber of Commerce can also purchase them."

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said, "Uncle Chen, you think too highly of me. There are so many think tanks in the Dayi Chamber of Commerce, but even they can't be found, so how can I find it? I went to the Huangfu family, but I only heard a legend that the Huangfu family has treasures hidden in the mountains, and there are also legends that there are more treasures in the ancestral land. I just want to join in the fun."

"Hahaha. So that's the case. I'll leave first then." Chen Kaishan waved his hand, got on the carriage and left.

Cheng Zongyang looked at Chen Kaishan's departing carriage and smiled faintly. "This guy is quite cunning."

The other party obviously didn't believe what I just said.

But it doesn’t matter, believe it or not.
