In the Heavens

"Master, the Ninth Young Master is here to visit!"

The servant girl's voice rang in his ears, and Li Mu frowned. He was still thinking about how to get the protagonist away, but he didn't expect that he would take the initiative to deliver it to his door.

It's definitely not enough to avoid seeing him directly, "Brothers, Friends, Brothers Gong" is the foundation for him to gain a foothold in the mansion. If it weren't for such a label, how could the two bigwigs in the mansion allow him to be presumptuous.

After rubbing his forehead, Li Mu said helplessly, "Take him to the back garden, I'll be there later!"

...

Looking at the exquisite courtyard, the independent small garden, and comparing it with his own residence, Li Fan's inner grievances became more aggravated, and he secretly vowed: In the future, he must build a more luxurious house than the Hou's mansion, so that he can travel through a journey in vain. field.

"I don't know Brother Ninth's visit, but my younger brother is far away, and I still look forward to Haihan!"

After listening to Li Mu's words, Li Fan's mood instantly improved a lot. He had to admit that his cheap thirteenth brother was born as a concubine, and it was not without reason that he became prosperous in the mansion.

The ability to speak alone can surpass many people. It's a pity that Li Fan couldn't learn it. Given his current situation, it would be bad if he followed suit.

People's inherent impression is very important. Once a certain label is put on it, it is difficult to get rid of it.

With the reputation of the original owner being cowardly and useless, no matter what he does now, he will be treated differently. After trying several times to communicate with his brothers in the same hospital, Li Fan gave up decisively.

"Brother Thirteen, you're being polite, I'm here uninvited, so don't dislike me!"

Although this cheap ninth brother concealed it very well, Li Mu still read a trace of "inferiority" between his brows. I don't know if it was affected by the original owner's residual memory, or the situation he was in before time travel was not good.

Not wanting to get to the bottom of it, Li Mu stretched out his hand as if to sit down, and said with a smile, "This is Cuiyun dew from Zhongzhou, soaked in Jiufeng mountain spring, Brother Jiu, please evaluate it!"

It's not just a pretense, it's a temptation.

Cuiyun dew is a kind of spiritual tea, although it is not the top, it is also a rare thing in the world, and it is exclusive to the princes and nobles.

Among the folks, it has been fired to thousands of taels, but no matter how high the price is, it is useless, and no prince or noble will sell it.

On the one hand, it is because of the effect of Cuiyunlu, which not only has the effect of calming the mind, but also can improve the spiritual power; on the other hand, it is because of face.

In the Great Zhou where class solidification was serious, the face of the nobility was very important, and it could only be bought with a little silver.

Especially Dingyuan Hou Mansion, a solid aristocrat who has been accumulated for thousands of years, who doesn't have a net worth of hundreds of millions, how can he care about a mere few thousand taels of silver?

Jiufeng Mountain Spring is also notable, it is the number one spiritual spring in Dingyuan County, and it has a great reputation in the Northwest.

Originally, the output of the mountain spring was not low, but the ancestors of the Dingyuan Hou Mansion who retired in the past dynasties all lived in seclusion in Jiufeng Mountain. Coupled with the fact that there are a lot of masters who need to be kept by the Hou Mansion, it suddenly becomes scarce.

These are all cultivation resources, other sons have their own rules, it is nothing more than a question of how much, but Li Fan, who cannot cultivate, is excluded.

From the standpoint of the Hou Mansion, this approach is understandable. Since there is no cultivation qualification, there is no need to waste cultivation resources. Only by distributing to children with better talents can the benefits be maximized.

But as a party, it's not good. The same is the son of the Hou family. If others eat rich clothes and live in fine clothes, but he eats chaff and swallowed vegetables, everyone will have an unbalanced mentality.

If Li Mu had just crossed over, he would have been uncomfortable if he had encountered such a thing. By now, he has gradually understood this approach.

Everyone is innocent, but pregnant is guilty.

If he really shared the cultivation resources, his cheap ninth brother probably wouldn't be able to survive now. You can take risks for money, let alone precious cultivation resources?

The disciples of the Hou Mansion allocate resources according to their cultivation level, not only to stimulate everyone to practice, but also to let everyone understand the nature of the world earlier - the weak eat the strong.

Many seemingly unreasonable regulations are actually adopted after long-term exploration to determine the most suitable for the family.

Without a scientific system, how could the Hou Mansion survive for thousands of years? You must know that the Hou's Mansion is not the Great Zhou, and there is no ability to bind great power by luck, and can only rely on the efforts of the younger generations.

...

After taking a sip, Li Fan's soul was shaken for a while, Li Fan only felt as if he had entered the flying feeling, and the jade slip in his body was more closely integrated with himself.

Li Mu on the side frowned secretly. Sure enough, Wen Dao cultivation also needs resources to assist.

Although it is not as serious as Martial Dao and Immortal Dao's dependence on resources, if you want to quickly improve your realm, you still need to increase your spiritual power, or the treasure of the soul.

With a new batch of competitors, the fun will follow. From the standpoint of the emperor, he would definitely be more willing to use these Wendao monks.

You don't need too many reasons, just one - not being able to live forever, is enough for the emperor to make great efforts to promote it.

After all, you can't gain longevity by yourself. Who would like to see themselves turned into a pile of bones after a hundred years, while the courtiers live forever?

If you look at the current Great Zhou Dynasty Hall, you will know that there are basically no ministers over a hundred years old. It's not that the ministers are all short-lived, the main thing is that they are all smart people, and they resolutely retire when they get old, so as not to stay in the emperor's eyes.

Li Mu has already thought about how to act in the following script. The emperor's support of Wendao monks violated the interests of vested interest groups, aroused dissatisfaction from all parties, and caused turmoil in the court.

If the binding of the dynasty's luck to Da Neng can be undone, the overthrow of the Great Zhou will be imminent. Maybe someone has already started to do it. Li Mu doesn't believe that an old fox who has lived for thousands of years is willing to be controlled by others.

After a while, Li Fan said with burning eyes, "Good tea! Really good tea!"

It's a pity that Li Mu didn't answer the conversation at all. It's okay to use these things to test it out, and let him sponsor the protagonist's cultivation for nothing, so don't even think about it.

Especially for creatures like traversers, who have experienced the baptism of the information age, there are very few people who talk about human feelings like me.

In order to avoid feeding the white-eyed wolf, it is better to stick to one's duty.

Glancing at Li Fan, Li Mu asked slowly, "I don't know why Brother Ninth is here?"

Hearing the question, Li Fan became embarrassed for a while. There is nothing to go to the Three Treasures Hall, the relationship between the original owner and this cheap thirteenth brother is only ordinary, not to the extent of daily visits to chat about family matters.

If he had a choice, Li Fan would not be so rash. But there is no way, in this feudal era, there are too many restrictions.

According to the rules, parents are not allowed before the family is separated, and children are not even allowed to have private property. That is to say, no matter how much property he tosses away, the Hou Mansion can take it back reasonably and legally.

If the property is not guaranteed, it is a small matter, and if it is not done well, it will be stigmatized as unfilial. How can he bear such a bad name for a master who is interested in proving the way through literature?

As a last resort, Li Fan had no choice but to find someone to cooperate in order to seek a way to make money together.

However, the original owner is a little transparent in the mansion, often bullied by others, and has a bad relationship with all brothers and sisters.

The thirteenth brother in front of him could at least say a few words, but for the other elder brothers who were descended from the direct line, it would be a matter of two opinions whether to let him in or not.

Regardless of the rest of the concubine brothers and sisters, their status in the mansion is limited, even if they do make money outside, they can't hold back the scene.

"To be honest, Brother Wei has an idea to make money. He wants to cooperate with Thirteenth Brother to conspire..."

Before Li Fan could finish speaking, Li Mu interrupted first: "Ninth brother, it's not that being a younger brother doesn't give you face. It's just that the outside world is too complicated, and making money is never easy.

In the world, there is a party behind all the transactions with slightly higher profits. Many of these forces are unwilling to offend even the Houfu.

The era of making money from ideas ended thousands of years ago. Now outside is the world of aristocratic families, almost any business is inseparable from them.

My concubine's position in the mansion is inherently embarrassing, so it is definitely not a good thing to rashly intervene in the industrial disputes outside.

If Ninth Brother is short of money, the younger brother can lend you some first, it doesn't matter when. But about starting a business in partnership, let’s pretend you didn’t mention it today. "

It's not that Li Mu is boasting, if he really wants to make money. My own experience is definitely richer than this cheap nine brother in front of me.

It is pure nonsense to make money from ideas at every turn. In any business in the feudal era, the most important thing is always the personal connections.

I did a little business outside, and I took the brats along with me, wasn't it just to take advantage of Houfu's power?

Even so, Li Mu accepted it as soon as it was good. There is no reckless expansion, just tossing around in Dingyuan County.

Li Fan, who was educated by his cheap brother and felt ashamed, couldn't help but said: "Thirteenth brother, don't worry.

Brother Wei naturally knows about these problems. Now this business, I can assure you that it is not done in the world. If you don't grab food from other people's bowls, the power of Houfu will always be able to cover it, right? "

While speaking, Li Fan had already taken out a piece of gray soap, which made Li Mu want to roll his eyes.

It's no wonder that such an ugly product can be sold. The dignitaries look down on it, and the common people can't afford it.

Perhaps there may be a market after the rise of civil servant groups in the future. But it doesn't work now, no matter how good the care products are, it can't compare with the cultivation method.

Unless it is a special technique, no one will be ugly after reaching a certain level of cultivation. What's more, there are black technologies such as pills and charms.

It can only be blamed that Li Fan knows too little about this world, underestimated the black technology of the extraordinary world, and overestimated the purchasing power of the people.

If it is placed in an ordinary feudal dynasty, there are small landlords and small businessmen anyway. Unfortunately, this is a big Zhou where the class is solidified, and the wealth is completely polarized.

After quietly listening to Li Fan's speech, Li Mu said with a smile: "Ninth brother really has a special talent, and he can even make such novelties.

It may be useful to give it to farm laborers and street vendors. It's a pity that they can't afford it, and my generation of martial arts practitioners can't use it.

Even the maids in the mansion probably don't like this stuff. Fuchu uses the dust removal talisman every day, which is much more practical than this. "

He can be sure that Li Fan must have been affected by the memory of his previous life. But if you go out more often, you will be surprised to find that there are not many small vendors in Dingyuan City.

Even if there are occasionally a few who go from house to house, they are selling some daily sundries such as needlework.

Snacks such as cooking cakes, steamed buns, wontons, etc. in TV dramas do not exist at all. On the contrary, there are many restaurants and teahouses.

There is no way, land annexation ended thousands of years ago. Owner farmers are only in the history books, and the middle class is almost non-existent.

High-ranking officials and dignitaries will not go to street stalls, and poor people cannot afford it. Without demand, there will naturally be no market.

Of course, it cannot be said that soap has no market at all. It's just that they were leftovers, and Li Mu didn't even bother to dig them out.

If you want to make money in Dazhou, you should directly aim at the rich and powerful families. Ignore all other classes, all social resources are monopolized, and wealth is unprecedentedly concentrated.

Make sure Li Mu is not interested. After sighing, Li Fan suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and said, "Thank you Thirteenth Brother for reminding me, it's for brother Meng Lang!"

Seeing that Li Fan already intended to leave, Li Mu naturally would not stop him, and immediately ordered: "Xiao Zhuo, take two hundred taels of silver and send it to Brother Jiu."

Originally, I wanted to decline, but I just thought that I was too short-sighted. When the words came to his lips, Li Fan swallowed them back.

"Thank you Thirteenth Brother for your help, I will definitely pay you back when my money is free!"

Hearing this, Li Mu's evaluation of this fellow traveler was a little higher. Being able to bend and stretch, without sacrificing face and suffering, this alone increases the success rate by one-third.

"Ninth Brother, you are being polite. We are all brothers from our own family, so why bother with these red tapes!"

...

Watching Cheap Ninth Brother leave, Li Mu immediately decided to beat the side drums and send him away as soon as possible. Although the academy has not yet reached the time to recruit new students, everything is possible with Hou Fu's face.
