Mr. Chen already had an idea in his mind, so he just copied the camp model.
The city of Sijiu has both people and money, but the reason it is still in turmoil is that there are barriers between the families and there is a lack of a key figure in charge.
With him taking the lead and formulating the rules, and everyone doing things according to the rules, the chaotic world will definitely be changed.
"Can you do it?"
After saying what he wanted to say, he looked at the Zhu, Cheng, and Wang families and spoke calmly.
"Yes."
Zhu Rizheng nodded repeatedly. Although he was not very clear about the details, there was no problem with the general plan. He had heard about the money-making ability of the Yaolu Camp and was quite tempted.
Chen Sheng was willing to offer advice and take charge of the city, and he was the first to agree.
Cheng Kong and Wang Shaojie had no objection. They were powerful in the old city, but they were nothing outside the city. With the help of this favorable wind, they might be able to have other developments.
"Senior, do you still remember Jingxiao Chamber of Commerce and Alchemist Li Chengru?"
Zhu Rizheng put forward his own opinions on the elixirs and monetization channels in the camp plan. They are ready-made and can be used immediately, which is very convenient.
"Jingxiao Chamber of Commerce is feasible. Li Chengru should have passed away by now."
Mr. Chen was a little surprised. It was right for Zhu Rizheng to recommend Jingxiao Chamber of Commerce. He had some connection with the He family back then, so it was no big deal to take care of them a little.
But when the other party mentioned Li Chengru, he seemed a little inappropriate.
He himself had no prejudice against Li Chengru, but there had been a rift between them, and given Zhu Rizheng's intelligence, he should not have taken the risk of bringing it up.
All I can say is that there must be another explanation.
"He passed away, but he did not break his promise. He spent his whole life curing illnesses and saving lives. Even Guan Mingtang, who he left behind, fulfilled this promise."
Zhu Rizheng had some admiration for Li Chengru. If a second-rank alchemist put aside his status and devoted himself to curing illnesses and saving lives, he would definitely be a peerless alchemist.
As far as he knew, there were many families in the old city who still kept Li Chengru's tablets in their rooms.
"Great kindness."
Mr. Chen was stunned. He didn't expect Li Chengru to have achieved this. He felt as if he had suddenly realized something.
In any case, he appreciated the man's subsequent awakening.
…
Jingxiao Chamber of Commerce.
"Guest, if you need anything, just let me know."
A servant's eyes lit up when he saw a man in white with a calm face walking towards him. He saw the aura of a big shot from the man and knew that he was a noble master. As long as he stayed, he would definitely make a fortune.
"I have an old relationship with He An, and I want to discuss something with the descendants of the He family."
The man who came was Mr. Chen. He glanced around casually. It seemed a little strange, yet a little familiar. Many years had passed and many things had changed, but the general outline was still there.
"He An?"
The servant was confused. He was not stupid, but he went through the names of the managers in the Chamber of Commerce and none of them matched.
"You must be joking, my ancestor is long gone."
At this time, a young talent came over. His name was He Zai, and he was from the lineage of He An. If it weren't for the great achievements of this ancestor and the leader of prosperity, he might not be able to think clearly for a while.
However, the other party was from the same era as the ancestor. He had some doubts about this, but did not deny that a young foundation-building cultivator could survive to the present day more than a hundred years later.
"I'm not kidding. When I bought a second-level alchemist inheritance at Jingxiao Chamber of Commerce, he was waiting by my side."
Mr. Chen remembers all these things, and he will never forget everyone who has passed through his life.
"Senior's surname is Chen?!"
He Zai's expression changed again and again, and he had figured out a lot of things.
His ancestor was the master of prosperity, and he made a name for himself with the help of an elder from the medicine house, and won over an ownerless alchemist.
Since then, the Jingxiao Chamber of Commerce began to take off. When other companies in the Sijiu City were silent, it was far ahead and even jumped out of the framework. Its channels spread to three or five surrounding immortal cities, and its foundation increased greatly.
"Another one who left a family tree."
Mr. Chen nodded, but felt a little strange. These small immortal cultivation families in the border areas liked to leave some written records when they were involved in the highlights.
Perhaps, in some distant era, when the secrets of various forces are uncovered, we will be able to find his figure behind the scenes.
"It is a blessing for our He family to be able to see you again. If there is anything you can do, please do not refuse."
After learning about Chen Sheng's background, He Zai immediately bowed deeply, acting like a young man.
This is a good opportunity to get closer, and it won't be awkward. After all, there is a special bond between them as they met over a hundred years ago.
"I'm planning to do something, and I need to use the Jingxiao Chamber of Commerce's channels. It will be mutually beneficial for you and me."
Mr. Chen told the plan that he wanted to use the channels of Jingxiao Chamber of Commerce to sell elixirs. If he did well, the local chamber of commerce would respect the He family as the most respected.
"Thank you for the kindness, senior."
He Zai was somewhat surprised at Chen Sheng's act of easily prying open the top floor of Sijiu City and restoring the order, but he also took it for granted. The other party was able to control Sijiu more than 180 years ago, and now that he has achieved such great success, he should be able to do it with ease.
If he doesn't do this, someone else will do it. No matter what the calculations and considerations are, he has to agree to it.
After deciding on the channel for the elixir, Chen Sheng left Jingxiao Chamber of Commerce and went to Guanmingtang where Li Chengru left behind.
He was curious about this.
Guanmingtang covers a large area but is not elegant. It has the aura of a peach garden where peaches and plums are so numerous that people come to them without saying anything. There are ten doctors in the hall and one of them is actually a pure alchemist.
Because of his young age, the alchemist's clinic was sparsely populated, so Mr. Chen simply followed a patient and joined the queue.
It can be seen that the young alchemist has a good attitude, speaks interestingly and appropriately, and is a good person.
Soon, it was Chen Sheng's turn.
"Something's wrong."
Li Chengzu's eyes fell on Chen Sheng, and his eyes became slightly sharper. This impeccably dressed young man didn't look like someone who needed to come here for medical treatment.
"Can you tell?"
Mr. Chen was very interested and stretched out a hand and placed it on the pulse pillow.
"My inner energy is as strong as a dragon. Are you here to tease me, senior?"
Li Chengzu helped to diagnose the patient, with a hint of worry in his eyes. This man had unknown origins and a strong aura, far surpassing all the cultivators he had seen. He must be a terrifying figure.
If such a person were to attack Guan Mingtang, it would be devastating.
"Don't worry, I just want to chat for a few minutes. It won't take up too much of your time."
Chen Sheng's voice was calm, like a spring breeze. What he saw and heard with his own ears left him with a good impression of Guan Mingtang. He was also very curious and asked, "Did Li Chengru change in the later period? I feel that he should not be such a kind person."
The Li Chengru in his memory was a high-ranking second-level alchemist, proud and unruly, and definitely not someone with such a compassionate personality.
"The senior seems to know everything, but I want to say that our ancestor really had a great enlightenment, and he understood the way of a benevolent doctor, and he followed through with it throughout his life."
Li Chengzu's face changed slightly. This person was actually acquainted with Old Ancestor Cheng Ru. After such a long time, he was still young and alive. He must be a powerful figure.
He shouldn't have offended the other party, but the other party's words had already offended his deceased ancestors. He couldn't bear it and immediately spoke sternly and righteously.
The words were sonorous and powerful.
He also told the story of Li Chengru's past after he agreed to the promise. He is indeed a respectable doctor.
"I'm impressed..."
Mr. Chen was moved by what he heard. For a second-level alchemist to put down his airs was indeed a great joy for a poor patient of time. Li Chengru's enlightenment was a win-win situation for everyone.
"How did the senior and the ancestor know each other?"
Now that he knew that Mr. Chen and the ancestor knew each other and had no ill intentions, Li Chengzu couldn't help but feel curious about the past.
After all, those past events are covered with a veil of time, which makes them both mysterious and heavy.
"He was a bit dirty before, but the cause and effect were resolved long ago. Now that he's back, I know his past. I admire him."
Chen was a peaceful and kind person.
Li Chengru's Guan Mingtang has humanitarian merits. No matter how capable he is, he always has good intentions towards these people.
"Senior, are you from Yaolu?!"
Li Chengzu's face froze. There weren't many people in his lineage that he had offended, but there was one person who was extremely powerful. It could be said that he had directly hit a wall.
"It's me."
Mr. Chen nodded.
"Hello, senior."
Fortunately, Mr. Chen had said before that he had no ill intentions, otherwise Li Chengzu would definitely be unable to sit still, fearing that the other party would come to settle accounts and uproot his lineage.
"I came here this time because I heard some things and wanted to do something. I think Guan Mingtang is quite suitable, so I'll leave it to you."
Chen Sheng explained the camp model. On Guan Mingtang's side, Li Chengzu was the leader in refining elixirs and growing medicines.
These are the other party's expertise, and he thinks there is no problem with it.
"Protecting the country and the people is consistent with my philosophy, Guan Mingtang, so I will naturally not refuse."
Li Chengzu responded without much thought. His lineage has continued to this day, and has been cultivating energy for nearly two hundred years, so he has a sense of righteousness.
Naturally, I would not refuse such a happy and kind thing.
Overnight, it seemed like a new day had begun.
The residents of Sijiu City found a big change after waking up. There were immortal cultivators holding swords and wearing armor, lined up in groups and patrolling everywhere. Even the corners were swept.
They vaguely felt that there was something extra in their hearts.
Order and safety.
"boom"
In the distant sky, two immortal cultivators were fighting fiercely. It was a matter of life and death, so they naturally didn't care about the lives of mortals.
In the past, no one would stop them, as long as they didn't cause trouble at their fellow villagers' homes, most people would turn a blind eye.
"Take it."
This time, it’s different.
In order to express his seriousness and avoid making mistakes, Zhu Rizheng directly took on the responsibility of fire captain.
Seeing the immortal cultivator causing trouble, he knew that the opportunity to kill a chicken to scare the monkey had come, so without saying a word, he ordered someone to capture the other party.
"kill"
A red-bearded man in the fight pulled himself out, and seeing the patrol's suppression, he became furious and rushed forward like a demon.
He did not hold back, and his every move was killing. He was extremely indifferent to life and had no reverence at all.
"puff"
There were more than twenty cultivators from the Zhu family. Although their individual combat power was not as good as that of the other party, they shared the same blood and practiced the same techniques. They formed a battle formation and easily took on the enemy's attacks.
Then, after a fierce fight, the red-bearded man was killed directly, and the sword chopped him into pieces, which was extremely bloody.
The other young man who was fighting was a little panicked, but he did not regret it. Instead, he used his own signature trick.
"The law is merciless, kill."
Seeing this, Zhu Rizheng decided to kill the chicken to scare the monkey. Even if the other party has some big shot behind them, no matter how big he is, he can't be more powerful than them.
Killing them can also serve as a warning, making those "people of status" smarter.
"puff"
Upon hearing this, this group of immortal cultivators used the same old tricks to beat up this young man of status. Finally, when he was unable to resist, they beheaded him with a single blow. It was an extremely ferocious move.
…
Same day.
"What the hell, how dare you not give me what I want."
In the restaurant, a young man with a weak face grabbed the collar of the shopkeeper and lifted him up, with a look of arrogance and recklessness in his eyes.
He threw the man out, and he rolled a dozen feet away, with a sense of awe as if he had the power of life and death.
"You want to take over my restaurant for the price of a steamed bun? Is there any justice in the world?"
The shopkeeper's head was bleeding and he looked extremely embarrassed, but the pain in his heart was even deeper. The young man was called Lin Shen, a well-known playboy in the Lin family. He must have been short of money, so he must have seized other people's property and sold it.
Even though he knew the other party's plan, he didn't have much to do but fight to the death. As long as he survived, he would not abandon his family business.
After some tug-of-war, it will probably be bloody.
"Catch him."
Suddenly, a group of monks intervened, each of them looking ferocious and fierce, staring at Lin Shen.
Among them, two people had already walked out, one on the left and one on the right, heading towards arresting the other party.
"I am one of us. I am the son of the Lin family in the west of the city."
Lin Shen's face changed and he dared not move rashly. The aura of these people locked him tightly. If he moved, he would be killed by thunder.
This made him a little nervous, but he didn't realize the danger yet and just thought he could just fool around.
"Mr. Lin, you are the one we are arresting."
The team leader sneered without any mercy. He was promoted to the position due to the captain's favoritism and didn't want to be pulled down.
In the past, it was better not to do it, but now I would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go.
Soon, Lin Shen was taken away under custody, leaving the shopkeeper in a daze, still in a trance.
"If this continues, we will be able to see thousands of lights next year."
Chen Sheng saw the changes in Sijiu City and was very satisfied with the Zhu, Cheng and Wang families. This swift and decisive approach was extremely suitable for the chaotic situation and was quick enough to cut through the Gordian knot.
"Although there are some selfish thoughts involved, this is not a bad thing. I am looking forward to it."
Lu Zhu was happy. Her selfish desire did not cause chaos in the city, but instead changed things in a good direction.
We are looking forward to seeing the appearance of the city of 1949 as it was more than 180 years ago reappear.
"boom"
A powerful and majestic aura rose up from the Sijiu City, like a towering volcano, radiating its own heat with all its might, intending to destroy all the people and things around it.
The owner of the Qi is a thin old man with narrow eyebrows like knives. He is cunning and vicious. He is definitely not an easy person to deal with.
"Whoever killed my apprentice, get out here."
The thin old man roared loudly, and the sound was like a muffled thunder, which made the frail man feel stuffy in his heart and feel as if he would faint on the spot.
He came for revenge, and found out that his disciple had fought with others that day, but was killed by the monks from Sijiu City.
In his opinion, this was an unprovoked disaster and an outrage that went too far, so he had to seek justice.
"A cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage, the appearance of such a person is too disruptive to order."
Zhu Rizheng looked up at the sky with a frown on his face. The most troublesome thing was coming. They were unable to resist this powerful enemy in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
"We've only been peaceful for a few days, and now it's going to be chaotic again?"
"This man is too strong. The Forty-Nine City cannot resist him."
“When will it end?”
The people of the Forty-Nine City were in low spirits. They were very happy with the recent order. With strong soldiers at their side and no one to disturb them, they felt deeply at ease.
But at this moment, this tranquility seemed to come to an abrupt end.
"I won't allow anyone who breaks the rules to appear."
In the Red Line Building, in Room No. 2, someone was murmuring with an unhappy look on his face.
“Buzz…”
A large flag was taken out. The flagpole was as straight as iron. The flag was white with the word "Guangxiu" written in large black letters.
A powerful hand poured magical power into the white flag, as if a real dragon had awakened, emitting a majestic aura.
The next moment...
A large white flag rushed out like a real dragon, tearing through layers of air waves. The flags were lined up like ghosts demanding lives, and arrived in an instant across thousands of miles.
“You’ll die.”
The thin old man's arrogance suddenly disappeared. He stared at the white flag that was charging towards him with a look of horror, like a mortal facing a powerful bow and crossbow, with nowhere to hide.
He rolled his hands, and his magic power poured out like a vortex. Strands of strangling power kept interweaving and entangled the white flag.
“Crack…”
The big white flag was not disturbed and directly smashed the water vortex, then rushed forward and pierced through the body of the thin old man.
"Bang"
A loud roar sounded, resounding through the sky. It turned out that the thin old man was nailed directly to the city wall. The flag was stained red with blood, and the word "Guangxiu" suddenly became majestic.
From then on, the city of Beijing became peaceful.
…
Another year.
When Chen Sheng came, the sky of the old city was shrouded in a vague haze, but now the country is peaceful and prosperous. He is even more powerful than the "honest judge" and can directly change the world and become the rule maker.
All factors that disturb the peace will be directly eliminated, allowing the top level of the city to feed back the lower levels from top to bottom.
With stability and well-being in every aspect, the social atmosphere has changed from its downward trend to an upward trend.
The resumption of the Linglong Niangniang Festival has already caused a lot of commotion. Mr. Chen knows that the Zhu, Cheng and Wang families have contributed to this, but most of the public opinion is not false.
then……
There are brocades in the hall and colorful lanterns on the upper floor.
The grand Linglong Niangniang Festival has come again, and even the emotions that have been suppressed for too long have erupted with even stronger emotions.
Make a grand celebration to welcome the new era.
April 6.
Crowds of people flocked to Longjiao Mountain. The Linglong Niangniang Temple was extremely lively. People came to ask for fish talismans and set off lanterns.
"very nice."
There was joy in Luzhu's eyes and heart. Last year was so lonely, but this year it was finally made up all at once.
"We'll go too."
Mr. Chen held her hand and went into the hustle and bustle. There was no trace of magical power in his every move, and his every word and action was just like that of an ordinary couple, extremely peaceful.
There are a lot of people on Longjiao Mountain and it is very noisy. Some people may think it is too noisy and crowded, but Chen Sheng and Lu Zhu think it is quite good, as it has an air of the human world.
The Linglong Niangniang Temple has been renovated and repainted, but some ancient traces have been preserved, creating a charm that blends the old and the new.
"We're here to see you."
When Lu Zhu entered the temple, the statue of Linglong Niangniang had not changed at all. It stood quietly in the middle, receiving worship.
She was like a devout woman, performing all the necessary rituals, including paying respects, burning incense, and praying.
The last time he came, Mr. Chen had the intention of "playing with her", but this time he had different feelings. He was thoughtful and behaved like Lu Zhu, being very polite.
He prayed to God and everyone who could help, to give Luzhu a glimmer of hope so that her life could continue.
"What did you wish for?"
Luzhu was full of enthusiasm, showing passion for the things around her and care for her family.
"A wish for longevity."
Mr. Chen said simply.
There is no mention of praying for longevity for Lu Zhu.
“This is too big.”
Luzhu smacked her lips. This probability seemed to be directly tied to the way of heaven and becoming a saint. It didn't sound very reliable at first glance.
“That’s why I come to worship God.”
Chen Sheng said as a matter of course.
"You're laughing at me."
Luzhu opened her eyes wide, looking a little cute, and wrinkled her nose, trying to look ferocious, but perhaps because she had such a good foundation, she still looked cute.
She knew the statue had no power, but she came anyway. It seemed a bit like a futile effort, but worshipping gods was not the goal; peace of mind was.
My beloved is beside me, and I am at peace. "Go and ask for the fish talisman."
Chen Sheng smiled without saying a word and pulled Lu Zhu towards the temple gate. The temple keeper was sitting in front of the stall. He looked old and was very popular. There were people surrounding him.
"Sir, give me two fish charms."
After waiting for half an incense stick of time, the temple keeper was still very busy. Lu Zhu knew that she could not wait any longer, so she pulled Chen Sheng and went inside. After finally exerting some effort, she succeeded in getting in.
The temple keeper looked at her, then at the man behind her, and seeing their relationship, he smiled and took out two fish charms.
"Thank you very much."
Luzhu grabbed two fish symbols, pulled Chen Sheng, and got out of the encirclement again, until they were a few feet away from the temple, where it was not so crowded anymore.
After praying for the fish talisman, I can relax a bit and have fun as long as I wait until tomorrow night.
The two of them came down the mountain path and saw a steady stream of people walking up. Although it was hard work, there were still smiles on their faces.
In this way, until we reached the foot of the mountain and looked back at Longshou Mountain, seeing the hustle and bustle, we realized that the year's hard work and planning had not been in vain.
It is very lively, just like a prosperous era.
