Chapter 77 Li Qinghan's Saltpeter Acquisition Center
Due to its own role, saltpeter is indeed suitable for hype. The key is that as of now, Li Qingxiao has not found that anyone else knows the clever use of saltpeter ice making, so it is really a waste not to make good use of it.
However, this involves a large-scale hype plan with nearly 40 million people on the entire Blue Sand Island, and it is indeed very difficult to implement.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to Zijian Pavilion as soon as possible. At present, the only ones on the island, Guo and Zijian Pavilion have the financial resources and ability to implement this plan. Of course, Guo is not within the scope of consideration.
It's simple to say, but it's difficult to execute.
Li Qingxiao listed out the planning steps in his mind one by one. It took him three or four days to write down the entire planning framework.
The first step is to start acquiring saltpeter. The saltpeter in the area of Black Valley City has been cleaned up by Li in the past decade, and there are not many left. As for the three cities under Zijian Pavilion on the east island of Lansha, Zuo Ninglu will arrange someone to do it.
What Li Qingxiao is responsible for is not only the Linjiang occupied by Zijian Pavilion on the west island, but also the Tianhuo City.
There is also the four cities under the control of Guo’s family, the meteorite, the sea of clouds, and the whale falling from the four cities. How to take steps to acquire the saltpeter in these cities is also a big problem.
The second step is to reduce the price of spirit fish on Blue Sand Island, so that the monk's gaze can be attracted to Black Valley City.
The third step is that the saltpeter acquisition is almost done, so it is naturally to disclose the secret of making ice in saltpeter. For example, the powerful Jindan family like the Guo family in Zijian Pavilion, fresh fresh spirit fish is naturally not that important to them. But after all, there are only two Jindan families on Lansha Island, and more are foundation-building families like the Li family. The fresh spirit fish has a great help to cultivation and temptation to them.
At that time, Black Valley City, which controls almost all the saltpeter on Blue Sand Island, are you still afraid that there will be no monks coming?
Thinking about these things, Li Qingxiao unknowingly walked from the city lord's mansion to the current Li family's station in Heigu City. A green figure was slid out of the yard with his neck shrank. Seeing Li Qingxiao, he wanted to hide next to him.
"Qinghan, where do you want to sneak away?"
"Second brother, Zhang Yu called me to go to his place and had something to do." Li Qinghan suddenly felt sad when he heard the voice, and turned around from the door and said evasion to Li Qingxiao.
Li Qingxiao frowned. His original intention was to see that Li Qinghan was young and could not help but take him to Heigu City on purpose to see if he was interested in anything that could make him stable.
Unexpectedly, Li Qinghan came here for a few days and was stumbling around with Zhang Yu every day. With the current status of Li and the identity of Zhang Yu as the young leader of Zhang Yu, the two have a great reputation among the casual cultivators in the Black Valley City.
Although they are not bullies who are rampant in the countryside, it is not good to do nothing all day long. It would be better to leave Li Qinghan in the Bayushan tribe and let him calm down and practice than now.
Suddenly thinking of something, Li Qingxiao's eyes lit up, he looked at Li Qinghan and said, "Qinghan, my second brother will give you something."
Hearing Li Qingxiao's words, Li Qinghan's depressed expression was a little more correct, and he said, "Second brother, you said! As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it."
"Didn't you and Zhang Yu know many casual cultivators in Heigu City these few days? I'll give you some money. If you ask Zhang Yu and those casual cultivators to help you, you can buy all the saltpeter around Heigu City. Can you do it?"
"Saltpeter? Isn't it used to make ice in our family? Isn't there enough saltpeter in the clan?"
Li Qinghan is now thirty-four years old and has a lot of knowledge about things in the clan, so he subconsciously asked.
"It's not for use by the clan. If you buy it, you can encapsulate it all, find a place outside the city of Black Valley and hoard it."
As he spoke, Li Qingxiao took down his ring and put a batch of spirit stones in it.
Li Qinghan, who took back the ring, quietly used his spiritual energy to open the ring. He immediately widened his eyes and looked at Li Qingxiao, and said with a trembling tone: "Second brother, this is more than 100,000! All so many spirit stones are used to purchase? The unit price of saltpeter is only 5 taels of gold, how much does it have to be charged? Do we use so much for our family?"
One hundred thousand spirit stones can be converted into gold for 10 million taels. The unit price of five taels is nearly 1,000 tons. Previously, Li Jinhu was responsible for scavenging saltpeter around Yulin Town. The family only used at most about two or three tons per month. Why did Li Qingxiao want so much saltpeter?
However, Li Qingxiao did not explain to him, but only told him to do this well. If he did it well, there will definitely be more important tasks to him in the future.
This made Li Qinghan feel a little excited.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to do things, but that there are people in the clan’s affairs. This time, Li Qingxiao finally told him to do something, and he also wanted to prove himself, so he immediately took the spirit stone to find Zhang Yu and prepared to complete this matter together.
Looking at his eager look, Li Qingxiao also had a hint of anticipation. The current Li family's 100,000 spirit stones are not big or small. He thinks it is worth it to give Li Qinghan the opportunity to exercise.
A few days later, on September 20th, Li Biyu took Liu Yu'er to bid farewell to Li Qingxiao.
As a disciple of Master Ninglu, Li Biyu did not have to return to the sect, and was ready to follow Zuo Ninglu to stay in Heigu City forever. However, Liu Yu'er was going to Tianhuo City to become a disciple. After all, she only had the fifth level of Qi training. Although the journey was not far, Li Biyu was still a little worried about a girl going out alone, so she simply accompanied her to travel.
"Second brother, I originally wanted Qinghan to bring us a word to you, but Yu'er insisted on coming to say goodbye to you. I couldn't resist her, so I had to bring her over."
Li Biyu spoke, obviously with a look of Nouyu, and her tone was a little teasing. She nudes at Li Qingxiao and glanced at Liu Yu'er.
"Sister Biyu, didn't you tell you not to say it!"
Liu Yu'er's little face suddenly turned red, and she stomped her feet in a hurry, blaming Li Biyu for being too verbally polite.
Li Qingxiao coughed twice, and had been working on other things these days, almost forgot about Liu Yu'er's appointment as a disciple, and he felt a little embarrassed.
However, thinking that Yu'er stayed in Li's family at the age of eight and had never been alone for fifteen years. Although she was really talented in alchemy, she went to Tianhuo City alone, and Li Biyu would not be with her for a long time, so she felt a little worried.
"Yu'er, you have to be careful when going to Tianhuo City alone. It would be great if you can join Baili's clan. However, if you don't have to force it, the alchemist will not only Baili's clan family in Tianhuo City. If you suffer grievances, send someone to Heigu City to inform you and I will definitely pick you up!"
Hearing these words full of concern, Liu Yuer's heart suddenly felt warm, and the scene of Li Qingxiao saving her for the first time in the spirit fish pond of Bayu Mountain was echoed in her mind. She secretly glanced at Li Qingxiao's face.
"Brother Qingxiao, don't worry! Sister Biyu said that with my qualifications, even the ancestor of Baili clan will definitely not refuse. In the future, I will definitely practice hard in Tianhuo City, learn to refine elixirs, and come back to repay the family and refine elixirs for everyone!"
Li Qingxiao was also inexplicably moved when he heard these simple and sincere words.
It is no exaggeration to say that Liu Yu'er's experience before meeting him is a miserable sentence. Her father is indifferent and her mother died early. The uncle who cares most about them was beaten to death by her evil mother. Her only brother Liu Mu lost contact on the way to escape and has not yet known his life and death.
However, even such a miserable experience did not make the little girl disgusted with the world, and her heart was still full of kindness and simplicity. She has been independent and self-reliant in the Li family over the years and has never caused trouble to everyone.
Li Qingxiao stretched out his hand and gently touched Liu Yu'er's head. He was also over 1.8 meters tall. The little girl has grown to his chest now, about 1.6 meters tall. Her black hair hangs on her back. The red skirt sets off her delicate figure to make her extraordinary, especially her long and charming eyes, but it is full of ignorance and innocence, without any impurities, as if the most beautiful combination of charm and purity.
The little beggar fifteen years ago has now become such a beautiful woman.
"Yu'er has grown up and arrived in Tianhuo City. If you meet someone you like, you can get married!"
Unexpectedly, when he heard this, Liu Yu'er's face froze, her lips trembled slightly, and her eyes were even slightly red, and she felt dizzy.
"What a fool! Yu'er, let's go." Li Biyu looked so angry that she pushed Li Qingxiao's hand away from Yu'er's head, pulled Yu'er out.
Before leaving the door, Liu Yu'er broke free from Li Biyu's hand. She turned her head and seemed to have enough courage. Her face turned red and shouted: "Brother Qingxiao, Yu'er already has someone she likes, that's...!"
After all, the face was too thin and I was embarrassed to say it in front of Li Biyu, but Liu Yu'er turned around and left.
Little did he know that Li Qingxiao's back was also wet.
To be fair, he really couldn't have a relationship with Liu Yu'er, and there was nothing else. He saved her by himself fifteen years ago, and from the age of eight to twenty-three, it was not an exaggeration to say that Li Qingxiao had watched Liu Yu'er grow up in the past fifteen years.
In this case, he treated Liu Yu'er more as his daughter or as his biological sister.
How could he not see Liu Yu'er's affection for him? I thought it was just a young and ignorant girl, but I didn't expect that after these few years, Liu Yu'er seemed to be getting deeper and deeper.
Fortunately, Liu Yu'er didn't say it back then, otherwise he wouldn't know how to face her in the future.
"You're still young! There should be many outstanding young people in Tianhuo City. The little girl is so beautiful, and there will definitely be many people chasing her. That's fine!"
Li Qingxiao didn't think about it if he comforted himself like this.
In the following time, while practicing, Li Qingxiao also sent a large amount of manpower and material resources to visit Linjiang and Tianhuo City to inquire about the price of spirit fish and the reserves of saltpeter respectively.
He also sent some spies to the four cities further west. Although the plan cannot be laid out for the time being, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win a hundred battles. You can understand these situations in advance, so that you can start to improve the situation in Black Valley City in the future.
With Li Qingxiao's support in Black Valley City, Li Qinghan and Zhang Yu brought a few other casual cultivators, and soon set the acquisition of saltpeter on the agenda and made it very exciting.
In just one month, a piece of news spread to the ears of 500,000 people in Black Valley City.
Li Qinghan, the cousin of the Li clan leader, opened a saltpeter acquisition center in the city, offered a unit price of six taels of gold, and acquired saltpeter unlimited in unlimited purchases.
Suddenly, all the mortals in Black Valley City went crazy and frantically plundered saltpeter outside the city. Soon, the scattered saltpeter in dozens of miles of land were plundered.
Immediately afterwards, this momentum extended from mortals to the remaining cultivators in Black Valley City.
The 500,000 people in the Black Valley City are all dependent on the command of many monks. Li Qinghan's acquisition was first circulated in the mortal circle and they all knew about it.
However, the ordinary wealth such as gold and silver are indeed too attractive to them.
But as the number grew larger and larger, Li Qinghan directly announced that he could exchange thirteen kilograms of saltpeter for a piece of spirit stone.
This time, even if the monk circle in Black Valley City was detonated, more than 200 monks instantly launched all the mortals under their command to search for saltpeter in a crazy way.
Saltpeter is not something that is hard to see. Sometimes, if you find a large piece, you will get dozens of kilograms, and you can get several spirit stones in one go.
Don’t underestimate a few spirit stones. You must know that the situation of the casual cultivator is very miserable, especially in a city like Black Valley City, where the blue sand island is at the bottom, being a casual cultivator is even more miserable.
At this time, the spirit stones on Li Qinghan's hand had just been used up!
