Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 257 0256: Cousin's Thoughts
When they arrived at a house, Taoist Luo was working on something. When he saw Cheng Zongyang coming, he was interrupted by Cheng Zongyang before he could even stand up and salute:
"No need to be so polite. I heard from Manager Luo that the formation has been replicated?"

Taoist Luo smiled and said, "It's almost done. After studying the principles of the two teleportation arrays and understanding the materials, it should be possible to replicate it one-to-one. But if I ask my subordinates to study a new teleportation array or change the distance, it will take longer."

Cheng Zongyang waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay. Being able to replicate the existing teleportation array is a success. You can do the last thing first, don't worry about us."

Luo Dingran also gave a few pieces of metal to Taoist Luo.

After taking the materials, Taoist Luo didn't say anything more. He began to melt the metal into the required shape, then made the activation token according to the information in the book, engraved the array text on it, and finally placed it on the array plate and put the spirit stone on it. If there was no reaction, he would melt it again, engrave it, and try again.

The whole process lasted nearly two hours!

When he saw the light appear, Taoist Luo excitedly took the spirit stone and retrieved the activation order.

Cheng Zongyang was watching the whole process, while Luo Dingran was busy. Taoist Luo came to Cheng Zongyang and said respectfully: "Sir, the formation disk has been reproduced."

Cheng Zongyang had already walked over and then looked at the formation plate.

The first feeling is that it is not as exquisite as the one I bought, but the difference is not much.

Immediately lost an identification.

As the identification was displayed, Cheng Zongyang looked at the introduction. When he saw that the distance above was also 5000 miles, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Slowly, this smile could no longer be suppressed and he burst into laughter.

After waiting for such a long time, Taoist Luo, who possessed a talent for formations, finally managed to replicate it based on the formation explanation book, formation plate instruction manual, layout guide book, and a lot of other formation materials he purchased.

If you can replicate the first teleportation array, you can also replicate the second, third, fourth, and even more!
After a moment, he looked at Luo Dao Ren and asked, "How many points did these two formation plates cost in total? Have you counted them?"

Hearing this, Taoist Luo shook his head and said, "I don't know. I only know to try and study the materials. Perhaps you can ask Manager Luo about this."

Coincidentally, Luo Dingran came again with a glass of water in his hand.

"Sir, drink some spiritual water."

This spiritual water is the spiritual liquid collected by the spiritual liquid collector and then diluted with water. It has many benefits for the body.

"Sorry for the trouble." Cheng Zongyang asked the same question after taking the cup of water.

Luo Dingran said, "It's a lot of points. We've failed a lot, and the materials have been wasted. The total should be more than 50,000 points. It's ten times the original array."

Now, Luo Daoren felt a little embarrassed. After all, he had failed so many times, so there was some waste. He only wanted the materials, but he didn't know that he wasted so many points.

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said, "This is inevitable for the first time. Now that it's successful, it won't be difficult to make it again. How much can you control it to?"

Luo Dingran also shook his head this time. He looked at Luo Daoren and said, "Give me a list of the materials you need this time. I can calculate it."

"Okay, it won't be wasted this time." Taoist Luo nodded immediately after hearing this and went to the desk.

Five or six minutes later, Taoist Luo came over to Luo Dingran with a list.

Looking at the nearly seventy kinds of materials above, Luo Dingran was helpless, but fortunately, the quantity was not large.

"Is this the quantity of materials needed for a formation?" Luo Dingran asked.

"Yes, there are still a lot of materials left." Luo Daoren responded quickly: "Those materials can be used as backup. After all, I can't guarantee that the second time will be successful in one go."

Luo Dingran could understand this point.

After a quick calculation, he said to Cheng Zongyang: "The total points of these materials are estimated to be around 7,000. If the backup is included, it can be calculated at around 10,000."

"It seems that buying it is cheaper." Cheng Zongyang murmured. But he also understood that the cost depends on the material procurement channel, quantity, proficiency, etc.

He didn't worry about these things. If he could make a pair with 10,000 points, he would consider it a profit.

"I will go to the Eye of the East China Sea in a while. I will continue to work on the formation disk. It will be useful to me in the future." Cheng Zongyang said, "Points will be supplied first."

"Yes, sir." Luo Dingran and Luo Daoren bowed at the same time.

After finishing the formation issue, Cheng Zongyang breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, he asked Luo Dingran to prepare the rice seeds. Before he set off, he had to arrange the 2.5 million kilograms of rice seeds he owed to the Chamber of Commerce, as well as the rice seeds needed by Tianduan Village, in order to avoid being unable to return in time after going out to sea.

The second thing is the offerings from the Li family, which Zhou Zhendong will take care of, so he doesn’t have to worry about it.

After three or four months of preparation, the farmland in Botao Town has begun to be planted, but the harvest will have to wait until April.

Once all the arable land in Botao Town is harvested, there will be no need to worry about the demand for rice seeds and medicinal materials, and the rice seed trading volume with Dayi Chamber of Commerce can even be expanded.

The demand for 250 million kilograms of rice seeds almost cleared out the stock in the wilderness world.

He stored all the rice seeds in a separate storage room in the transit area, waiting for Zhou Zhendong to trade them to the Dayi Chamber of Commerce in the future.

Today, the transit station has opened up several large underground storage spaces, which can temporarily store more supplies.

Later, Cheng Yuanfeng was asked to go back to Chengjia Village and bring his cousin Cheng Zongwen with him.

As these things were arranged, it was already the next day.

This time, he called Zhang Zeyu and his cousin Cheng Zongwen.

The two of them were the people he had planned to be his assistants in the purchasing department.

He originally wanted his cousin Zhou Zhenyuan to come, but his personality was not suitable for what he was going to arrange next. The best candidate to replace Zhang Zeyu was Li Xuejin, but he had to arrange for his cousin to study and exercise, and he was worried that Cheng Zongwen would be influenced by Li Xuejin.

No matter whether it is his cousin or his cousin, in front of Li Xuejin, a shrewd man, they can only be calculated.

Therefore, he replaced them with Zhang Zeyu and his cousin.

Cheng’s house, study.

Cheng Zongyang looked at Zhang Zeyu and Cheng Zongwen and expressed his thoughts. "I am the steward of the purchasing department of Dayi Chamber of Commerce, and I need more people. Zhang Zeyu, you are the housekeeper of the Cheng family. I am very satisfied with your work, and the things that the purchasing department has to do are also troublesome. So, I plan to let you join the purchasing department."

Zhang Zeyu was shocked and quickly bowed his hands and said, "Sir, I'm worried that I can't do it well and cause trouble to you. Besides, this mansion also needs manpower to manage it, this..."

Cheng Zongyang waved his hand to stop Zhang Zeyu from saying anything else, and said:

"Don't worry about that. I'm going to be away for a long time, so you can just check on the family affairs occasionally. The reason why I asked you to join is that besides reassuring me about your ability to handle things and my trust in you, I also want you to take him to learn more."

At the end, Cheng Zongyang gestured and glanced at Cheng Zongwen, and continued: "He is my cousin and will also join the purchasing department. In the future, he will be your assistant and learn from you.

I'm not leaving right now. I think it will take another half a year. During this time, I will let you handle the matters of the purchasing department, which will be enough for you to get familiar with the whole process."

Seeing Cheng Zongyang had said so much, Zhang Zeyu also expressed his attitude: "Master, rest assured, I will do my best. I won't let you down!"

Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly, then looked at Cheng Zongwen: "I know you may not be used to being called out so suddenly this time. But many things look difficult, but when you do them, you will find that they are more difficult than things at home. But only in this way can I better train you."

Cheng Zongwen nodded slightly and just looked at Cheng Zongyang, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Seeing this, Cheng Zongyang took the booklet of Dayi Chamber of Commerce from the desk and gave it to Zhang Zeyu, then said, "Take this booklet back and read it. There is no rush."

Zhang Zeyu understood what Cheng Zongyang meant. He took it with both hands and said, "Yes, Master. I'll go do something else first."

"Ah."

After Zhang Zeyu left, Cheng Zongwen breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was a little uncomfortable because of the presence of outsiders.

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said, "What do you want to say?"

Cheng Zongwen basically worked with his uncle Zhou Hansong in the village, and he could do a lot of things in the village. He must have been very confused when he was suddenly asked to leave.

Cheng Zongwen looked at Cheng Zongyang and whispered, "Brother, I want to know, what do you want me to do?"

Cheng Zongyang paused after hearing this, looking at his cousin's puzzled face and confused eyes, he immediately understood and his expression became serious, saying:

"It's my fault. I forgot to ask you what you think. Today, we two brothers will have a good chat. Do you have any plans for your future?"

Cheng Zongwen did not become stiff or timid because of Cheng Zongyang's seriousness. He thought for a moment and said:
"When I was in the county, I wanted to be a doctor. Because I knew that with the relationship of our Cheng family, even if I gave up all my family's wealth, those aristocratic families would not recommend me to be an official."

"After a year of contact and learning in the village, my idea is to learn more and take charge of the affairs of the family ancestral hall in the future. Brother, you work hard outside, and Zong Liang and I will handle affairs at home. I will be responsible for the clan's patriarchal system, sacrifices and other matters, and Zong Liang and I will be separate."

"But you called me out and asked me to go to the Chamber of Commerce to learn about purchasing. I don't know what you want me to do, brother? After learning purchasing, what can I do in the future?"

Cheng Zongyang felt ashamed when he heard what his cousin said. He realized that he really ignored their ideas and wanted them to do things based on his own ideas without asking them what they wanted to do.

Even his younger brother and several other cousins ​​were arranged to learn about the dark web.

But when I think about it, there are only a few people in the family, and they can't choose what they like to do. Otherwise, if they like to eat, drink and have fun, can we let them do whatever they want?
But he will change his approach a little bit in the future, at least to understand their inner thoughts before making a decision.

And now, he finally understood why Cheng Zongwen had been following his uncle Zhou Hansong to learn how to handle the affairs of the clan hall.

It can be seen from this that his cousin is much more sensible than his younger brother and more sensible than he imagined.

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said, "It's my fault as the eldest brother. I'm very sorry for ignoring your thoughts. But I'm glad that you can speak up instead of just doing whatever I say. How about this, I'll tell you my thoughts as well. This is also a plan in my mind."

Hearing this, Cheng Zongwen shook his head slightly: "Brother, there is no right or wrong between brothers. We are all doing this for the Cheng family. Dad told me that there are only three men in our Cheng family. If we all think about our own preferences, the family will not prosper. We all know how hard you have worked, and we have done everything within our capabilities. Brother, you don't have to apologize to me."

Cheng Zongyang was very pleased and said, "My idea is to develop Yufeng County, Tianduan Village, and Chengjia Village into private places belonging to our Cheng family and Zhou family."

Cheng Zongwen was stunned and shocked when he heard this! Then he listened to his elder brother continue to speak.

"What I have been planning is to make the area within Yufeng County a private place for our Cheng family. But I know this is impossible, so from the beginning I tried my best to develop the strength and power of the Cheng family and the Tianduan Gang, so that I could get a share of Yufeng County, or even occupy half of the county, and become a wealthy family in Yufeng County, or even a royal family.

But later, I got information about immortals... that is, cultivators from the valley.

Zongwen, we have many magical things, which are the relics left by the immortals. This time, from the stone tablets we brought back and the things found in several boxes, there is even a place related to the immortals. "

"After I understood it, I decided to go and look for it. Once I succeed, I will have the confidence to turn Yufeng County into our private territory and make it the Yufeng Fairy City!

At that time, we don’t need to become a noble family, a powerful family, or a royal family! We don’t need to abide by those mundane rules anymore.

At that time, we will be a family of immortal cultivators! You can practice better skills and even become immortal cultivators.

Then, they will have to abide by our rules!

The Dayi Chamber of Commerce will be replaced by our Cheng family, and we will also establish the Cheng Family Immortal Merchants. All higher interests can only be ours.

The reason why I want you to come in is to see and learn more. You don't have to be limited to the purchasing department. I will open up connections in other departments so that you can learn more and understand the operation of each department of the Chamber of Commerce. In the future, when Cheng's Xianshang is established, you will be the one who manages it. I am speaking in general terms. Do you understand?"

Cheng Zongwen's breathing was also slightly rapid.

He was really stunned by his cousin's plan.

Immortals! Cultivators! Cheng's Immortal Merchants! Yufeng Immortal City!
It’s amazing!

For a moment, he could hardly digest this sudden and huge news!

Cheng Zongyang saw that Cheng Zongwen's breathing was a little rapid, and knew that he was still unable to digest the news.

This plan was modified only after he contacted with the Yuzhongshi Market and purchased so many things.

But the prerequisite for all this is that he must have the strength and confidence to defend the county!

"Brother, I understand!" Cheng Zongwen said seriously, "I will study hard! This plan will not be leaked from my mouth!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Zongyang smiled even more happily.
