Chapter 18 A brilliant plan
Li Yanmo stayed at the Shen family for a day. After getting familiar with the environment, he went to stroll around Risheng City to observe the situation.
Because Luoyang Town is close to Qingshan Sect, some cultivators will appear from time to time. However, in most cases, only ordinary people were active in Luoyang Town, so in Luoyang Town, Li Yanmo was a veritable sixth-level Qi training expert, but when he arrived in Risheng City, he was not so impressive.
The physique of a monk is stronger than that of a mortal. If it is not controlled, the impact of a locomotive may smash a mortal into a pulp.
In order to avoid such accidents, cultivators who have reached the foundation building stage and above will choose to fly when traveling.
Practitioners who practice Qigong will not walk in the air, so they will restrain their strength when walking on the road.
Li Yanmo went to the place where all kinds of birds and animals were sold and took a few turns. The stench there could only be described as dizzying. The weak animals locked in cages were staring at everyone on the road. Their cloudy eyes were like mirrors, reflecting every expression of passers-by.
Some of the animals have gradually developed humanized looks called hatred.
I'm afraid it won't be long before a monster appears here.
However, those who sell wild animals are not monks, but ordinary mortals, and the business these mortals do is not illegal.
Li Yanmo thought about reporting to the authorities, but when he left the market, he saw several constables staring at the direction of the market. Obviously, the military gate also felt that the situation could not be allowed to develop, but the original intention of establishing the Dayu Dynasty was to prevent the activities of monks from affecting mortals. Without solid evidence that these vendors are helpers of the Demon Immortal Cult, the Military Gate cannot take any action.
The Demon Immortal Cult is very good at this kind of operation, so from last summer to now, the Soldiers' Sect has not found any evidence.
Under such urgent circumstances, Li Yanmo didn't dare to take out 60,000 kilograms of spiritual fruits and shout for help because the spiritual fruits were unsold.
Li Yanmo returned to the Shen family mansion with a heavy heart, found a rooftop, sat cross-legged and began to practice.
Just when Li Yanmo was emptying his mind to think, a quarrel was heard from the gate of the Shen family. Someone could be vaguely heard shouting, "Mr. Li, don't go too far."
Li Yanmo thought about it, stood up, walked along the roof to the door, and leaned over to observe.
I saw a luxurious carriage parked in front of the Shen family's gate. A man dressed in gold and silver was holding his chin up arrogantly, while Butler Xu had a red face and was trembling.
At this time, Shen's parents also arrived at the gate.
Shen Wansan was born into a farming family, but he worked hard to build his current industry. Naturally, he has a set of worldly principles. Facing the man's naked provocation, he just clasped his hands together and said, "Brother Li, long time no see."
Seeing Shen Wansan in high spirits, the man called Brother Li's face suddenly turned bad. He snorted in dissatisfaction and said in a yin-yang tone, "Mr. Shen, I heard that you were attacked by a tiger monster, and I have prepared a good coffin for you. Why are you so disrespectful?"
"Hahahaha - it's just a lucky break."
Shen Wansan also suspected that the tiger demon's attack was not accidental, and even if the man in front of him was not the mastermind, he was also involved.
But this is the Shen family's business after all, and he cannot drag Li Yanmo into this mess without permission.
"Lucky, huh - Mr. Shen, your farm hasn't been doing well in the past six months. I heard that many farmers were attacked by wild beasts. Even if you gave them compensation, they would not work in your fields anymore."
The man snorted coldly, obviously not believing in luck, but he was also very confident.
"If you keep going like this, your land will be worthless, but we are all acquaintances after all, so it's not impossible for me to take over this mess and let you have a worry-free old age."
Shen Wansan also restrained his smile and said, “No need to see you off.”
The man clicked his tongue and turned away.
Shen Wansan turned around and bowed to the onlookers, "Sorry, I made you all laugh. Butler Xu, please go back."
Butler Xu then realized that their quarrel with the man had attracted a lot of people, and he immediately nodded and signaled the servants to close the door.
Li Yanmo then slid down from the roof, "What happened to that man just now?"
"Master, that man is called Li Qiu. He runs a dyeing factory in Risheng City and is also a wealthy family," Shen Wansan replied with a bow, "Master, you also know that I started my career as a farmer. The materials used in his dyeing factory have some problems, which often pollute the water source and cause problems with the food in my fields."
"We went to the government office for this, and of course, I won. Li Qiu had to spend a lot of money to solve the sewage problem."
"But since last summer, wild animals have frequently attacked our farmland, and many farmers have been injured. In addition, Li Qiu has secretly instigated them. Over the past six months, a quarter of our farmland has been abandoned. The remaining farmland is not doing well because we have too few farmers."
Li Yanmo seemed to be thinking about something. "Have you ever thought about asking Bingmen for help?"
"This... where can we help? The farmland is outside Risheng City. Not to mention the military gate, it is impossible for the constables of the government office to guard the fields all day long for a few wild beasts," Shen Wansan said helplessly, "but the military gate solved another problem."
"What's the problem?"
“It’s a matter of food,” Shen Wansan gestured with his hands, “The small bags on their waists can hold ten years’ worth of food for Risheng City at a time.”
At this time, Steward Xu added, "Because of this, many farmers lost their jobs and became beggars. The master did try to help them, but it was just a drop in the bucket. Some people even blamed the master, faked injuries, and sued the government."
"Fortunately, the government has a constable who can distinguish right from wrong."
Li Yanmo recalled the lingering decadence and dullness in the Risheng City market, and immediately understood the source of the strange smell.
That greed is tempting birds and beasts to become monsters.
This is indeed a way to consume the resources at hand, but it will also lead to the proliferation of monsters.
Li Yanmo paced back and forth with his chin pinched, and Shen Wansan and others also held their breath, for fear of disturbing Li Yanmo.
They had to consume the 60,000 kilograms of spiritual fruit in their hands, but they also couldn't encourage the increasingly rampant shameless spirit in Risheng City, lest the birds and beasts they brought in turn turn them into monsters...
When Li Yanmo was having a headache, someone from the Shen family walked by carrying a birdcage. Looking at the canary pecking at the feed, a brilliant idea gradually took shape in Li Yanmo's mind.
"The third one——"
"I am here."
"Can you sell the land to me?" Li Yanmo raised his head confidently.
"Master, that's not right. If you want, I can give you all the fields."
Although he was a little confused, Shen Wansan still expressed his opinion immediately.
Li Yanmo became anxious at that time.
He was thinking of spending some money by buying fields, but he didn't expect Shen Wansan, his own man, to stab him first! ?
"No, this is a deal between me and the Shen family, and you are the head of the Shen family first, you must not forget the priorities!"
When Li Yanmo said this, not only Shen Wansan, but even Butler Xu on the side covered his mouth.
I didn't expect that Li Yanmo, at such a young age, would be so upright in his actions and unwilling to take any advantage.
"Master, I understand."
Shen Wansan gave Butler Xu a look.
Butler Xu nodded in understanding.
Since Li Yanmo insisted on buying it, they naturally could not let Li Yanmo down.
This price must be pushed down as low as possible!
