Chapter 600 (The Finale): Beginning and Ending (One Hundred)(1/2)
Chapter 600 (The Ending): The beginning is also the end
Xue Changkong wondered in his heart whether to pull Fatty Pan into the water. This fat man has a good cultivation level and is good at dancing. He is a talent. If he can recruit him, the young master is also in urgent need of various talents.
"You really want to get rich?" Xue Changkong leaned forward slightly and asked in a low voice.
"I think, of course, I want to think about it." Fatty Pan was stunned for a moment, then nodded in a hurry.
"There is a chance now, it depends on whether Fatty Pan has the courage?" Xue Changkong smiled slightly.
"What opportunity, brother, tell me." Fatty Pan's jewelry store is half dead. Although he makes money, Datou is taken away by the City Lord's Mansion. The business tax is even higher. Ten and three are worth three, and the total profit is only about a few percent. Most of it goes into other people's pockets. If it weren't for the fact that it could be maintained, Fat Pan would have wanted to close the door and go somewhere else.
In fact, there are many merchants who have such ideas in Gesang City, but this is the border of Guyuan and a trade distribution center. Even if there are heavy taxes, there are quite a lot of profits here. Most people give up because they have to start over when they go to other places. Maybe it’s better to stay in Gesang City.
If it weren't for being forced to go to the forefront, no one would have given up the foundation they had built and left it alone.
Even Xue Changkong has always been tolerant, and has he given up half of the benefits of Xue Yu Zhen?
Xue Changkong did not say it directly, but pointed to his mouth and then his belly.
"Food" Fatty Pan's eyes instantly widened.
These days, the entire demon world is in short supply. Although no one will starve to death, grains are the easiest to be absorbed and digested into energy. The demon school has to consume a certain amount of grain almost every day, otherwise it will not be beneficial to the cultivation of the divine body.
The grain is basically controlled by the three major demon emperors and the Demon Yuan Pavilion. Even the big families in the Demon Realm are difficult to distribute food, let alone the small families in these small cities. In order to obtain a little grain quota, everyone competes very well, and sometimes even fights.
The merit system of Moyuan Pavilion is very strict, and no one dares to challenge this system that has existed for tens of thousands of years. Even families who own land and grow their own grain must follow this distribution system, because in addition to them, they also need to exchange food for merit to exchange for what they need.
Although the magical Yuan Stone is the main currency in the demon world, its merits can be exchanged for things that even the magical Yuan Stone cannot buy.
This is why the Demon Yuan Pavilion can be on par with the three great Demon Emperors.
In the Demon World, there are too few individuals who own land that can be planted. Most of the land that can be planted with grains is concentrated in the hands of large families of third grade or above, and families below the fourth grade or below basically do not own land that can be planted with grains.
There is no land for planting grains in Gesang City. The owner of Gesang City is just a fourth-grade family, which is one grade higher than the Xue Family.
On the Qinling Ancient Road, there are only two families that own land, one is the Zong family, which owns 90% of the land that can be grown in grains, and the remaining layer is owned by the other third-grade family.
Although the two families have mastered the land where grains can be grown and the grain produced also belongs to their property, the right to distribution does not belong to them. In addition to being able to leave their own food rations and hand over military rations, the rest of the food must be sold to the Magic Yuan Pavilion in the form of magic yuan or meritorious deeds. This is a policy jointly formulated by the three major demon emperors. Unless you can overthrow the rule of the three major demon emperors, you must accept this system.
There are also black market transactions in the Demon World, but that price is not something that anyone can afford. Moreover, if you buy black market grain, you will be severely punished. Instead of buying black market grain, it is better to go to the Demon Yuan Pavilion to accept various tasks and earn merits in exchange for the right to buy food, or use the Demon Yuan Stone to go to the Demon Yuan Pavilion to buy food. This is all OK.
Magic Yuan Stone can buy food, but the price is basically the same as the black market, so the black market grain business does not have much profit, and there are huge dangers. If it is not necessary, no one will choose to buy black market grain.
This is for buyers, and for buyers, if they can get low-priced grain, such as military rations, or get low-priced grain from some aristocratic families, the profit will be huge. Although the black market is not large, if they release it little by little and the channels are stable, this is a considerable way of wealth.
The Moyuan Pavilion has a stronger control over big cities, but is much weaker than the small border cities. In Gesang City, the grain black market has existed for many years. There are relatively large flow of people here, and there are many difficulties in tracing them. Moreover, the amount here is not too large. Therefore, even if the Moyuan Pavilion knows it, it will turn a blind eye.
"How many?" Fatty Pan quickly closed the doors and windows and opened the sound insulation restriction in the room.
"This number per month" Xue Changkong stretched out three fingers.
"Thirty tons" Pan said excitedly.
Xue Changkong shook his head.
"Three tons?" Fatty Pan shook his head. This was too little. It was not worth taking risks for such a little food.
"No, it's three hundred tons" Xue Changkong.
"Three Hundred" Fatty Pan suddenly became three points higher, and he almost screamed out.
"Old brother, where did you get so much food? This is the amount in the black market in Gesang City in a month." Fatty Pan asked in surprise.
"Don't worry about where the food comes from, just say whether you dare to follow my brother or not, have I done it?" Xue Changkong knew about Fatty Pan. He was earlier than the Xue family moved to Xueyu Town. The family was hundreds of people in Gesang City. The authentic local household can be said to be an old local snake that can't be older.
When Gesang settled in the past, he was still tolerant of Fat Pan.
"Old brother, aren't you cheating me? At this time, if the Moyuan Pavilion noticed it, you and I wouldn't be able to take care of it." Fatty Pan said, but his eyes kept turning.
Such a large amount of grain is enough to control the grain transactions in the black market of Gesang City every month.
If this is a one-time transaction, he is really not tempted. After all, he will not make much money by rashly entering the black market. But if he masters this resource, he can master the black market grain transactions, and the profits will be different at that time.
"We are in danger and seeking wealth. Isn't the black market in Gesang City still there for so many years? Don't the Magic Yuan Pavilion know?" Xue Changkong saw the expression of Fatty Pan, and knew that he was moved.
"That's the black market, basically all under their surveillance. In fact, the big head of the black market is still the Magic Yuan Pavilion." Fatty Pan smiled bitterly. This secret is difficult for ordinary people, but for a veteran local snake like him, he knew it better. Otherwise, how could the Magic Yuan Pavilion turn a blind eye?
"Isn't it also supervised by people?"
"It's not easy to deal with. If you know so much food, you and I will not be able to escape sanctions by you or me," said Fatty Pan.
"What if I become the lord of Gesang City?" Xue Changkong smiled.
"Brother, take it seriously?" Fat Pan was so shocked that he took three steps back, almost hitting the chair behind him.
"The Demon King Gesang is cruel and bloody, and he levies heavy taxes. Since he was in charge of Gesang City, for so many years, others have been thriving, but our place is prosperous, and our income is getting worse every year. He also increases taxes every year. If this continues, can you and I still survive?" Xue Changkong said angrily.
"Na Gesang has been promoted to the Demon King for many years. Even if the old man advances to the Demon King realm, he is probably not his opponent, unless..."
"Pat Fatty Pan, this is why I met with the little princess of the Zong family today." Xue Changkong made his debut with his intentions.
"Are the Zong family dissatisfied with Gesang?" Fatty Pan was shocked. The news was so amazing that he didn't notice it at all.
"Hehe." Xue Changkong smiled slightly and did not answer. If Fatty Pan misunderstood, it would be beneficial to him. Why tell him the truth?
"Brother has advanced to the devil king. Old Pan is here to congratulate you, and then present the gift." Fatty Pan said with a stern heart.
"There is no need for a gift. Now you are the only one who knows that I am promoted, besides the insider. Brother Pan must keep it a secret for me first." Xue Changkong smiled and said.
"Sure, sure," Fat Pan nodded quickly.
"Think about food, please think about it and give me a reply in two days." Xue Changkong said calmly.
"Brother, can you please understand the source of this food?" Fatty Pan knew that he knew this secret, and it was impossible to leave it aside. If Xue Changkong had not advanced, he might not be afraid. After all, one is in Xueyan Town and the other is in Gesang City, with hundreds of miles between them, but now it is not possible. He knows this secret. Can Xue Changkong let him go?
"This is related to my life. If you, Fatty Pan, are willing to work with me, then it's okay to tell you, but if you don't want to, or if you know, you won't be able to do it."
"That's right, that's right, I shouldn't ask this. Let me think about it. After all, I have hundreds of people." Fatty Pan smiled embarrassedly.
"If you are worried about the safety of your family, you can move them all to Xueyu Town." Xue Changkong smiled slightly and suggested.
"Move to Xueyu Town?" Fatty Pan was stunned.
"It's the territory of my Xue family. Even if the Magic Yuan Pavilion finds out, we can hide in the ancient source at any time." Xue Changkong said.
"Let me consider it, but don't worry, I will never betray you." Fatty Pan said firmly.
"I definitely believe this, but I don't believe the people around me." Xue Changkong smiled slightly.
"What do you want, brother?" Fatty Pan's face turned pale. He had already made a frustration with him. Xue Changkong was already the devil king, and he had no strength to fight back.
"Brother, I send a blood oath of the Heart Demon, and then hand over the soul bead, so I believe it more." Xue Changkong said.
"Blood Changkong, you don't have to do it so terrible, right?" The sweat beads on Fatty Pan's forehead rolled down, his face a little hideous.
"There is no way, you dug the pit yourself. No one forces you to jump down, you have no choice." As soon as the Demon King of Blood Sky relaxed his breath, a terrifying pressure directly pressed towards Fatty Pan.
"You have indeed advanced to the Demon King." Fatty Pan's face was pale. Although he was also in the cultivation level of the Demon Master, he was not as good as Xue Changkong before. Now Xue Changkong has advanced to the Demon King, and his combat power has increased more than ten times, and he is even less of an opponent.
"Will I still lie to you? The inner demon blood swears, will you send it or not?" Xue Changkong asked sternly.
"Bloody sky, don't force people too much"
"Patient Pan, I also like to make money with kindness. As long as you make a vow of blood in the heart demon and hand over the soul bead, you can also enjoy your life, do what you want, and even like me in the future, it is not impossible to advance to the devil king."
"I can advance to the devil, too?"
"Why can't you? Do you know why I can advance to the Demon King?"
"Why?"
"Because I followed the right person, my master has the powerful ability to turn his hands on the clouds and turn his hands on the rain. As long as you apply for him, you can also immediately advance to the Demon King, and have strong strength like me, and no longer need to bow down to others."
"Yue Changkong, you actually have a master. This is impossible. Aren't you quite strong? How could that happen?" Fatty Pan was shocked.
"My master is not what you imagined, and I did not surrender to him because of threats. But I was willing to join him. Fatty Pan, now there is such an opportunity in front of you. If you miss it, it would be a pity."
"Can I meet your master?" Fatty Pan's face changed.
"You are not qualified to meet your master yet, but if you make contributions, your master may allow you to meet you." Xue Changkong said.
"Okay, okay, I promise to make the blood oath of the Heart Demon, and I can also hand over the soul bead, but you must agree to me with a condition." Fatty Pan thought for a moment and looked up.
"explain"
"My Pan family is not good at charging, so I don't want the Pan family's men to become cannon fodders," said Pan Fatty.
"You can rest assured that everything is good. My master will not let your Pan family become cannon fodder." Xue Changkong nodded and said.
"Okay, you must swear," Fatty Pan said with red eyes.
"Yes" Xue Changkong made a vow directly without hesitation.
Fatty Pan then made a blood oath of the inner demon, took out a blank soul bead, pulled out a strand of his soul and injected it into the soul bead, and handed it to Xue Changkong's hand.
"I hope you do what you say." After all this, Fat Pan felt as if all his strength had been taken away. He suddenly collapsed on the chair, and his eyes lost their luster.
"Don't do this, fat man, maybe you will feel extremely proud of this decision today." Xue Changkong put away the soul bead, and this was to be handed over to Xiao Han, and he was just keeping it temporarily.
"Dongdong"
A knock on the door came, and Fatty Pan hurriedly removed the soundproofing array.
"Come in"
