Chapter 168 Li Xinghe's Intention

"Beiyuan Xianzu ()" Find the latest chapter!

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone started to leave, but Li Xinghe and Meng Changfeng were drunk.

When the others were gone, the two suddenly regained their energy.

Wang Shouye naturally knew that the two were deliberately drunk and had something to talk about, so he led them to the council hall.

Wang Daoyuan also came to the council hall. The two supreme elders didn't care, and only he and Wang Shouye discussed.

The four sat down, and Wang Shouye asked, "I wonder what the two fellow Taoists have to do?"

Li Xinghe said with a smile: "It's like this. Several families in the northern part of Heyang County have established a new square market by the Heyun Lake, and they want to invite the Wang family to join it."

Heyang County is in the west of Qingli County. Unlike Qingli County, the Qingli River system covers the entire county.

The southern part of Hayang County is adjacent to the Wancheon River, with many rivers and convenient water transportation.

The northern and central areas are more embarrassing. There are no big rivers, only small rivers and large grasslands.

Several small rivers converge into a small lake, which is Heyun Lake.

Heyun Lake is located in the north-easterly position of Heyang County, not far from Qingli County, but it does not belong to the Qingli River system.

Heyun Lake can also be regarded as a water transportation hub in the central and northern parts of Heyang County. The establishment of Fang Market here is of great benefit to the families in the central part of Heyang County.

It's just that the water volume of Heyun Lake is not large and the water is abundant, the lake water can flow southward through the river, and finally merge into the Wanchuan River.

In normal years, the lake dries up when it flows out more than a thousand miles to the south.

Most of the time, Crane Cloud Lake is just an isolated water transportation center, which is not connected with other water systems.

Therefore, the matter of Heyun Lake's construction of Fang City is also a matter of some families in the northern part of Heyang County, playing behind closed doors.

It doesn't make much sense for the Wang family and the Meng family to get involved.

Before the Forbidden Silkworms formed a scale, the Wang family was still mainly engaged in the business of ore and spirit wood, which were all bulk goods.

Transporting a large amount of materials by land is too time-consuming. It also requires a large number of spirit beasts to transport materials, as well as a large number of cultivator protection materials.

The Wang family's water transportation is extremely convenient. Even if they want to expand the family's business, it is the most convenient to go downstream along the Qingli River.

Wang Daoyuan asked: "This Heyun Lake is thousands of miles away from Yuquan Peak, and there is no water connection. It is not realistic for my Wang family to travel by land."

Before Li Xinghe opened his mouth, Meng Changfeng hurriedly answered, "Young Daoyou Wang doesn't know anything, the nearest distance between the upper reaches of the Zhuoshui River and the Yuema River, a tributary of Heyun Lake, is only over 100 miles away.

As long as the two rivers are connected, the waterway is open. "

The Zhuoshui River is a tributary of the Qingli River. It joins the Qingli River more than a hundred miles south of Qinglifang City.

The Meng family's Cangyun Peak is next to a tributary of the Zhuoshui River.

The Meng family transported bulk materials to Qinglifang City, and the main waterway was the Zhuoshui Stream.

The Yuema River originated at the junction of the two counties and merged westward into Heyun Lake.

The water volume of the Yuema River is not large, and the river surface is only three or four feet wide. The first-order horse-like monsters can jump directly over it, hence the name of the Yuema River.

Li Xinghe went on to say: "Although the amount of water in the Yuema River is small, its advantage lies in the low terrain.

The Zhuoshui River is high in terrain and has a huge amount of water.

It is only necessary to dig a canal at the closest point between the two rivers to connect them, and the abundant water of the Zhuoshui River can flow into the Yuema River through the canal.

At that time, the bulk supplies of the Wang family entered the Zhuoshui River along the Qingli River.

Going upstream, through the canal, you can enter the Yuema River and reach Heyunhufang City.

As far as I know, Qingli County has a very high output of all kinds of ores and spiritual wood, and in Qinglifang City, it can't be sold for a price.

But in the north of Heyang County, there are mountains and mountains, and there are many monsters. The mines suitable for development are extremely rare, and there is no water transportation.

Therefore, the entire Heyang County is extremely short of ore and spiritual wood.

As long as the Wang family transported their own ore and spirit wood, it would be easy to double the price.

Moreover, Heyang County is in great demand, and there will never be a backlog of ore and spiritual wood that the Wang family transported.

"

Wang Shouye asked: "If I remember correctly, between the Zhuoshui River and the Yuema River, is Tieping Mountain?

This mountain, the rock is extremely hard, do you have the ability to dig through it? "

Li Xinghe was full of joy and said, "If it was before, we would not have dared to think about it.

But the families of Heyang County are on the west side of Tieping Mountain, and they have been quarrying the mountain for hundreds of years.

Some time ago, Tieping Mountain was dug and collapsed, leaving a gap more than ten feet wide.

Several of our foundation-building cultivators in Heyang County went to investigate and felt that they could use this mountain pass to dig a canal, together with the Zhuoshui River and the Yuema River. "

Wang Daoyuan and Wang Shouye were both dumbfounded.

Wang Shouye didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "You monks in Heyang County are really poor!

Apart from being hard, the stones of Tieping Mountain are not of much value. Do they need to fight for hundreds of years? "

Li Xinghe smiled awkwardly and said, "Isn't this a lack of stones and madness? You can only dig stones when you see them. I didn't expect to find such great benefits."

Wang Shouye thought for a while and said, "My Wang family is short of people, but I can't find anyone to help dig the canal."

Li Xinghe didn't find it strange at all, and smiled: "Why bother the Wang family about this, we have people from our side, anyway, the biggest obstacle to Tie Pingshan has already opened a hole.

Other places are nothing. With the strength of our foundation-building cultivators, a canal of more than 100 miles can be opened in a short time.

I'm here just to contact a few families that produce ore, stone, and wood, so that I can do business in Heyunhufang City. "

Wang Daoyuan asked, "Why didn't Senior Li contact the Yang family? The Yang family is now the leading family in the north of Qingli County. As long as the Yang family nods, isn't it a trivial matter?"

Li Xinghe sighed and said, "It would be fine if I could convince the Yang family, but this matter is a bit harmful to the interests of the Yang family.

The Yang family mainly focuses on refining tools. The cheaper the ore and spirit wood in Qingli County, the greater the benefit to the Yang family.

But once the waterway between Qingli County and Heyun Lake is opened, the ore and spirit wood in Qingli County will have new sales channels, and the price will inevitably rise, which is not good for the Yang family.

It would be fine if the Yang family didn't take action personally to suppress them, so how could they help? "

Wang Shouye thought for a while and said, "This matter is really difficult to handle, my Wang family and Yang family have been in friendship for hundreds of years.

If it really harms the interests of the Yang family, I don't dare to act hastily, and I need to discuss it with the elders of the clan. "

Li Xinghe was not in a hurry and replied, "That's right, I am currently in the area of ​​Tiepingshan, in charge of the excavation of the canal.

If there is a result, you can tell Fellow Daoist Meng, and he will tell me. "

After that, Li Xinghe and Meng Changfeng said goodbye and left.

After they left, Wang Shouye asked, "Daoyuan, what do you think of this?"

Wang Daoyuan replied: "We are all laymen in this regard. I don't even know the price of spirit wood and ore. I'd better ask Uncle Ten. He is an expert in this regard."

Wang Shouye nodded and said, "Then call the elders and discuss this matter carefully, especially to listen to the opinions of the tenth uncle."
