Chapter 197: Lack of Money(2/2)
As for the foundation-building monks, one hundred to two hundred spirit stones per month is not much, but we have more than a hundred foundation-building monks in Qingxiao City, all of whom are old people from Fangshi and Spirit Sword Sect.
Their monthly income here is about 20,000 spiritual stones.
Qi refining monks are quite cheap, currently three to five yuan per month. Even if there are five to six hundred qi refining monks, they only have two to three thousand spiritual stones.
But when they add it all up, their monthly salary expenditure alone is almost 100,000 spiritual stones per month. It has been more than half a year since the city was built. How much do you think it is?
And this is still the most basic expenditure after compression and compression.
If you include everyone’s mission rewards and subsidies, it will be even more.
There are also the three roads you want to build and the five formations you want Eunuch Wei to set up, which is not a huge expense.
Even so, many people are still dissatisfied.
Just the few spiritual stones we gave them were actually not enough to meet their cultivation needs.
Spiritual elixirs, magic weapons, and various resources to assist cultivation are just a drop in the bucket with just a few alchemists and weapon refiners in the city.
But everyone also knows that this is a special period, so they are enduring it.
But we can’t let them lose hope forever, otherwise they will leave sooner or later.”
Fang Chang rubbed his brow and asked, "What do you think we should do?"
Dongdong said: "We are now sitting on a mountain of food and supporting a lot of people, but we have no real income.
There are a lot of materials piled up in the warehouse, but they can't be exchanged for spiritual stones.
Now they are not satisfied and neither are we.
So I want to reopen the market. Although the current income will definitely not reach the previous level, it is good to be able to subsidize it a little bit.
When there are more people in the future, our reputation will spread again. The more people come, the more income we will receive.
what do you think?"
Fang Chang thought for a while, then shook his head and said:
"The money coming to Kaifang City is too slow now, and I am rebuilding Qingxiao City, not to make it the second Qingniufang City."
"How many spiritual stones do we have now, and how long can we last?"
Dongdong replied: "It can barely last half a year, if there are no other expenses."
She said the last sentence while looking at Fang Chang.
The previous two large expenditures were all decisions made by Fang Chang.
Fang Chang thought about it carefully and then said: "The first thing is, you send people to start inviting all the alchemists, weapon refiners, and talisman masters in our territory.
Well, violence doesn't matter at all. Use extraordinary means in extraordinary times.
Our current goal is to utilize the materials in the warehouse as much as possible.
Nowadays, the world has changed greatly, and all kinds of treasures, materials, exotic flowers and plants are growing. The right way is to turn them into resources that we can use.
Spiritual elixirs are refined into elixirs, spiritual materials are refined into magic weapons, and the same is true for other resources.
The second thing is that after the three roads are built, the map should be almost ready. You can arrange a group of people to search for minerals.
It would be best if we could find the spirit stone mine, then our financial crisis would be greatly alleviated.
It doesn't matter if you don't find it. If there are other spiritual mines, it can also find something to do for the idle monks in the city.
The third thing is, I want you to train a group of tax officers. The more the better. In the future, we will have many, many places where we need to collect taxes.
In terms of time, I will give you three months."
Fang Chang thought about how he would refine the Eye of the Demon by then.
With this trump card, he can start his expansion. Otherwise, he may not be able to survive with only his big brother Li Hu.
Especially after meeting the other four Lords of Mountains and Rivers and the legendary Queen.
Fang Chang understood more about the differences between people.
Li Hu is not invincible.
As for the gap in spiritual stones and resources, if it didn't work, he would have to let Yaoguang make the difference.
He sold his raw materials at low prices, and then bought various cultivation resources from her at high prices.
This is the double crushing of technology and channels.
Although they are being exploited, to put it bluntly, most people are not qualified to be exploited.
Dongdong heard the three things Fang Chang said. Although he was a little disappointed that Fang Chang did not agree with her suggestion, he still nodded and agreed.
If you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, if you marry a dog, follow the dog. To Fang Chang, all she gives is support.
The worst possible outcome would be to start all over again, and the worst outcome would be that the two of them live a life of no success under this green sky tree.
Fang Chang hugged Dongdong and kissed him fiercely, and laughed.
"My own wife is the most loving."
Dongdong tidied his clothes and stood up.
"My Lord, I have to follow your instructions. You are the master who is born to summon people."
Fang Chang smiled proudly, not ashamed, but proud.
"Who told my wife to do this?"
"Wait for another three months, and my practice will come to an end, and I will spend some time with you. If you usually, you should also take some time to practice."
A hint of sadness flashed in Dongdong's eyes, but he still smiled and replied:
"I know, I have to practice for four hours every day, and I won't fall behind. I still have to break through the golden elixir realm, and I will be entangled with you for hundreds of more years.
But when I think about having to be ordered by you for hundreds of years, I don’t want to practice anymore."
"gone."
Dongdong waved his hand and walked out of the envelope of Qingxiaoshu, and started running around according to the three things ordered by Fang Chang.
Fang Chang sent Dongdong away and his mind fell into silence.
"Eye of the Demon, don't let me down."
A light flashed before his eyes.

[Eye of the Demon (Damaged) (Ancient Treasure) (Refined 89.99%)]
[Introduction: The magic eye sect’s sect-suppressing treasure possesses part of the power of the extraterrestrial demons. Those who plant the demon seeds are all slaves of the magic eye, and have helped the magic eye sect rule many worlds.
Because of a disaster that destroyed the world, he took many inheritances from the Demon Eye Sect and wandered into the void. Later, he was attracted by the mysterious power and came to this world to live in the sea of consciousness of an innocent young man.]

With the refinement reaching the critical point of 90%, the introduction of the Eye of the Demon was finally revealed, although it was said that it was not said.
But at the same time, he also received the news that the Eye of the Demon would awaken within a hundred days.
As he expected, the Eye of the Demon would not be refined in vain and had its own countermeasures.
But he has identification skills to monitor him at any time, and one hundred days is definitely enough.
Fang Chang coughed twice and said to Morning Glory:
"Teng Teng, thank you for your hard work. In two months, I will catch your little brother again."
With a fierce moo in my ears, the small half of the green leaves of the Qingxiao tree turned a withered yellow color, and then the flowers on the morning glory bloomed, and three small Qingtear fruits were produced at once.
