Chapter 156 Rent Collection
With the start of the project, the people of Lingting County began to build bridges and roads in full swing.
100 meters, 10,000 spiritual stones for more than 1,000 people, which is considered cheap for Li Changsheng.
But for ordinary people, that is almost the same as getting rich.
For the people here, it is considered good for each household to earn one Lingshi a year.
Working outside is settled with gold and silver. The price of gold is equivalent to the price of spirit stones. Sometimes the price of spirit stones is higher and the price of gold is cheaper.
Building bridges and roads in Lingting County, if Li Changsheng paid the wages, he could earn dozens of Lingshi a year, which is no more than working outside for more than ten years.
People from the whole county were mobilized together to build mountains and pave roads. This was also for the development of Lingting County, and there was no harm to it.
In a mountain range, the figures of Li Changsheng and Zhong Fang appeared. When they turned their eyes, several Cave Mansions appeared in front of them.
"My lord, I didn't know that the county magistrate came to visit. I'm disrespectful."
At this time, a young man came out from the depths of the Cave Mansion, and when he saw Li Changsheng, he hurriedly bowed respectfully.
"You are an Independent Cultivator, and you are here to cultivate in the Cave Mansion. Have you paid the rent?"
Seeing that the other party was only an early-stage monk of the Foundation Building, Zhong Fang couldn't help asking.
Naturally, there are many Independent Cultivators in the cultivation world who have not entered the court as officials, and they can only send their cultivation to practice alone in the deep mountains and old forests.
But the world is so big, could it be that the king's land, as long as he is on the Sishen Continent, no matter where he hides, he needs rent.
This is not like other continents, many undeveloped places are basically left unattended, monks are free and easy all their lives, and there are countless people who are unwilling to join the sect, so they are more willing to find a clean place and be a wild crane.
"My little one just arrived in Treasure Land, and I don't know that I still have to pay the rent. My lord, how much rent do I need? I'll just pay it."
Qian Pu was startled, and quickly smiled flatteringly.
"Aren't you a local?"
Li Changsheng looked at this man, he did not look like a scholar, he was not a local at first glance.
Most of the local monks have studied, and if they want to become an official in the court, they have to be a scholar no matter what.
Because of his identity as a scholar, there are preferential policies wherever he goes. Like Zhong Fang, he can still be a master and earn some training resources.
Qian Pu was shocked when he heard this, he glanced at Li Changsheng and said.
"My lord, it is clear that I am not a local, but a foreigner who has traveled across the ocean."
"From the West?"
"Exactly. I was originally a disciple of the sect on the mainland. Because the mainland fell, I had no choice but to go overseas and come here."
Qian Pu said truthfully.
"Which sect?" Li Changsheng was startled and asked with interest.
"My lord knows about Zongmen?"
Qian Pu showed surprise on his face. When he came to this continent, there was no sect at all, and the customs here were too strict, and there was no such freedom as in the original mainland. A monk entered the court as an official, and a monk became the emperor. , never heard of it.
"heard about it."
"I am a disciple of Pu Yuezong, have you heard of it, my lord?"
"How could my adults have heard of Zong..." Zhong Fang wanted to speak, but was choked by Li Changsheng's words.
"I heard, how is Pu Yue, the suzerain of Pu Yuezong?"
Zhong Fang's eyes widened, and he looked at Li Changsheng in disbelief. Could it be that his lord is from another continent?
Now it was Qian Pu's turn to be shocked. He looked at Li Changsheng in disbelief. This man actually knew about Pu Yuezong, and also knew that his suzerain was called Pu Yue. Could it be that...
"Our suzerain also came to this continent when he crossed the sea, but because of the waves, he got separated later."
"I'm just an inner disciple of the Pu Yue Sect. I've been in this continent for decades, but I haven't found the suzerain and the others."
Listening to Qian Pu's experience, Li Changsheng sighed in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Pu Yue, the patriarch of Pu Yue Sect, also came to this continent.
It has been so many years since all the monks on that continent left and went their separate ways.
The Pu character gang has become the Pu Yue sect, and Pu Yue is not dead yet, her cultivation is at least Core Formation Stage.
This made Li Changsheng think of a person, Chen Ajiao.
Chen Ajiao is a mortal, and she was also his personal maid in the Puzi Gang. After so many years, she must have died long ago.
As for Pu Yue, he and Pu Yue are friends at best, so many years have passed, he was also a Qi Refining Stage monk back then, and Pu Yue is now a Core Formation Stage monk.
From Pu Yue's point of view, he, Li Changsheng, must be dead, or Pu Yue has long forgotten him, the former Qi Refining Stage subordinate.
If he meets Pu Yue, Li Changsheng will definitely not go to meet him, unless his cultivation has reached the Core Formation Stage or Nascent Soul stage, and he can explain his own lifespan a little bit.
Even he in the Foundation Building Stage couldn't live for such a long time.
After chatting with Qian Pu for a while, Li Changsheng waived his rent, but did not invite him to join his circle, after all, he might be alone in the near future.
What's more, what he was doing was dangerous, so why dragged a fellow countryman to die.
After dismissing Qian Po, Li Changsheng closed his eyes slightly, lifted his footsteps, and felt the world present.
There are still a few monks in this mountain range, even though they are well hidden, it is difficult to escape his sense of gravity.
The purpose of Li Changsheng's coming here is naturally not to collect rent, but to a figure hidden deep in the mountains.
His sense of gravity fluctuates extremely strongly, and through the ripples, he can clearly sense that the opponent's cultivation is at least at the Void Refining level.
Li Changsheng didn't expect to meet such a strong man in this kind of place. Isn't it God's blessing for him?
If he can win over this person, his plan can be carried out faster.
"Zhong Fang, there are still some Cave Mansions here, you should check carefully and record them. If you encounter an Independent Cultivator, be polite."
After Li Changsheng said something, he led Zhong Fang into the mountains.
Most of the cave mansions here are developed by Independent Cultivator, because the aura here is the densest, and many monks like to live in seclusion and practice in this kind of mountains.
Li Changsheng soon came to the Cave Mansion of the strong man, and glanced at the formation at the entrance of the Cave Mansion.
Li Changsheng clasped his hands and shouted.
"The senior inside, Li Qi, is the county magistrate of Lingting County. This place is under the jurisdiction of Lingting County. Senior, please give me some advice."
There was silence in the Cave Mansion, and after waiting for a long time, a deep voice came out.
"come in."
Hearing this, Li Changsheng hesitated for a moment, then walked in immediately.
On the Continent of the Four Gods, the world of cultivation is the empire, monks like them who have entered the court as officials, and Independent Cultivators have to give in to each other when they see them. This is also an old tradition passed down by the empire to this day.
Therefore, even high-ranking monks would basically not yell at the county magistrate, city lord and other monks as long as there is no conflict of interest.
At least talk.
