Chapter 325: Opening of the Market
The benefits of the market town are self-evident. Although Taihua Prefecture is located in a remote area, there are three or four markets of various sizes.
At present, Tianzhenguan has become the strongest in Taihuazhou. Even if it is a new market, it is not afraid of others causing trouble.
So after Jia Yuntian went back to strengthen his cultivation, Chen Yunhao called his senior brother and uncle and told them his thoughts.
"I've had this idea for a long time. Junior brother's idea coincides with mine!"
Liu Changting clapped his hands and laughed.
He had this idea a long time ago, but because of his lack of strength, he had been hesitant and did not dare to carry it out.
Unlike the markets opened by individual practitioners, the markets opened by sects must have strong backing.
That is, after Chen Yunhao returned, Liu Changting's mind began to become active.
Tianzhenguan has always relied on selling homemade magical wine, elixirs and medicines for its income.
These are all low-quality goods. I'm busy as hell, but they can't be sold at any price.
Therefore, the Tianzhen Temple in the past could be said to be in deficit, otherwise Jia Yuntian would not have been stuck in his cultivation because of a few pills.
If you open a market, you can collect rent, which is a very profitable thing.
Moreover, the market can attract many independent cultivators. If you meet someone with excellent spiritual roots, you can also recruit him into the sect, killing two birds with one stone.
In addition, our own disciples can obtain the resources they need for cultivation in the nearby market without having to risk traveling far away.
Moreover, after opening the market, Tianzhenguan will also keep a few shops to sell some products produced by its own sect, saving people from traveling thousands of miles to Lingyu City.
In short, there are many benefits. Liu Changting and his other uncle both agreed.
The three of them then discussed the location, and tentatively decided on the foot of Yufeng Mountain, which was only about twenty miles away from Tianzhen Temple.
Because Chen Yunhao wanted to develop from the market town to the fairy city, he chose an open area when selecting the site for long-term planning.
Moreover, the layout of the market town is built according to the scale of a small town, with nine streets, three vertical and three horizontal, and at least three hundred shops.
In addition, a free trade market was built on one side of the shop, which is also a place for some casual practitioners to set up stalls.
The plan is there, and all that remains is construction, which is also simple.
Although the monks are not engaged in construction, they are all extremely strong and can move high up. It is not difficult for them to cut down trees and build houses.
The construction of the market town was naturally the responsibility of the headmaster Liu Changting, while Chen Yunhao was busy creating a formation.
Now he can create a second-level formation. Although it is a little bit worse, the Tianzhen Temple's mountain protection formation is only at the peak of the second level.
The formation he created was to be used in the market. Originally, the formations in the markets in various places were not meant to defend against enemies, so some protection was good enough.
He had all the materials needed to refine the formation, and after half a month, he finally refined a second-level formation.
Two months later, the market town was basically completed and the formation was set up.
Now everything is ready, the only thing missing is how to let the surrounding cultivators know about the existence of the market and be willing to come.
Tianzhenguan did not have a strong appeal, so it could only give benefits to others.
Liu Changting sent many foundation-building disciples, including his uncle and Jia Yuntian who had just been promoted, and asked them to take a walk around the surrounding markets.
The goal is to attract some small chambers of commerce to settle in, and also to attract some independent practitioners to set up stalls.
As long as you move in, we won’t charge you rent for the first year. This is a way to benefit others.
Of course, in the most prosperous location, Tianzhenguan reserved five shops for itself to produce its own brewed magic wine, magic pills and magic medicines.
At present, these three things are the only things that Tianzhenguan can offer.
As for talismans and magical instruments, although there are disciples in the temple who are studying them, they have not become popular.
Chen Yunhao placed all the relevant classics and refining experiences in the temple for interested disciples to read on their own.
In recent days, Chen Yunhao has been in charge of the market town because the disciples who went out to promote the work have played a role.
Many small chambers of commerce and independent cultivators came to see it, and when they saw that there was indeed a Nascent Soul cultivator in charge, they made the decision on the spot.
To know whether a market town can attract people, rent is one aspect, but the supporters behind the market town are the key.
With Chen Yunhao, a Nascent Soul cultivator, in charge, it can be said that this is unique in Taihua Province and can definitely attract many cultivators.
The first people willing to move here were mainly from the small market closest to Tianzhenguan.
The founder of that market town had long since changed its owner, who was a cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm, and was considered to be a cuckoo in someone else's nest.
It is said that he came from another place and is a casual cultivator.
When he first heard that Tianzhenguan had established its own market, he was still a little angry and wanted to go to the door to ask for an explanation.
But later I heard that it was a Nascent Soul cultivator who was in charge. After seeing that 70% of the merchants in his own market were preparing to move out, he simply abandoned the market and disappeared.
So the small market was moved here almost intact, but it only occupied about 30% of the market.
Later, some merchants from another market town thousands of miles away were attracted to come over, barely making up half of the total.
With half of the merchants present, it wouldn't look so deserted, so Chen Yunhao personally presided over the opening of the market.
As time goes by, the market will attract more and more monks.
Chen Yunhao's initial plan was to build this market into a unique one in Taihua Prefecture. When conditions permit, he would also take over some of the market business in Lingyu City.
But that’s all in the future. Nothing can be accomplished overnight in business!
After the market opened, Chen Yunhao no longer stayed there permanently. It was taken turns by the uncle from the temple and Jia Yuntian, two Jindan cultivators.
Chen Yunhao has a lot of things to do every day, and he also has to practice every day.
If he wants to develop Tianzhen Temple, his cultivation must reach the level of transformation into a god, or at least have the strength to compete with certain sects.
Not to mention the daily alchemy, weapon refining, talisman making, and array formation research, just the daily practice of swordsmanship and martial arts is enough to fill my schedule.
He has to give guidance to his apprentice and nephew every now and then. These two are his closest relatives, so he cannot favor one over the other and must treat them equally.
In fact, Chen Yunhao wanted to take a trip to the Northern Yuan Continent. There was something he had remembered for more than a hundred years and had never forgotten.
It was the Jindan cultivator who was chasing him when he escaped from Fengling Tomb.
Now think about that Jindan cultivator. He may have advanced to Yuanying stage, or he may still be stuck at Jindan stage.
But no matter which one it was, no matter which sect or organization the other party belonged to, Chen Yunhao had been holding this anger for more than a hundred years, and he couldn't help but let it out!
However, since he came back, all affairs of Tianzhen Temple have just been put back on track, and he cannot leave easily. If there is another Nascent Soul cultivator in the temple now, then he has nothing to worry about!
