Chapter 171: Growth of Subordinates
She is a tall girl, and Mei Er is not bad either. She is a little over 1.7 meters tall and slim. She may have been making talismans for a long time, and she has a focused temperament.
She was introverted and looked reserved when she stood there.
Xu Qingyang glanced and saw Xiaomei winking constantly, but Mei Er hesitated and did not dare to speak. She was so angry that her nose was not her nose.
For these disciples, she was the one who put in the most effort.
Xu Qingyang made Xiaomei responsible for leading these spiritual children just like he did with young men.
In the beginning, she was unqualified, unable to display her true identity at all, and not quite as majestic as a teacher. However, after so many years of experience, the little maid has finally improved, and she has become a little more philistine. She wants to benefit more for her disciples, often for resources. Regarding the assignment, report the complaint to Xin Ruyin.
She didn't care about anything else, but the income these disciples created with their own hands was the most competitive she'd had in recent years.
In order to support Xu Zitou's big consumer, not only the remaining tax revenue on the island was transferred to Xu Qingyang, but Mei Zitou's handicraft industry and other labor income were also siphoned off for a period of time.
Xu Qingyang knew this well, asked a few questions, and turned his head as if he hadn't seen it.
Mei Er lowered his head, his eyes a little sad.
She remembered clearly that twenty years ago, it was the person in front of her who gave her hope. She firmly grasped this hope and never dared to slack off along the way. But when faced with a new destiny, she no longer She was a little afraid of the unabashed desire back then, and she didn't know what she was afraid of.
Perhaps Xu Qingyang suppressed the nature of immortal cultivators they should have from the beginning.
Leaving aside Mei Er, the other Mei-prefixed people who can stand in front of her are all geniuses who have been selected over the years. It can be said that they are the tallest among the short ones.
There are six three spiritual roots in total, and the first one has reached the tenth level of Qi training.
"Not bad, no slacking off..."
After asking about some progress and verbally praising them, they started to arrange their tasks. They were all accustomed to this. Their next task was not complicated, and they were to help the Gu family expand their business.
About eight years ago, Han Li came out of the border and took action to win the three-island shipping quota.
At that time, the Gu family spent all their financial resources, and Xu Qingyang provided some support and purchased a low-level sea-crossing Dharma boat.
This kind of ship can be understood as a large flying boat in the Tiannan Continent. The entire body is made of materials from the world of immortality. It has an independent defense system and combat capabilities. It requires multiple monks to work together to control it. It is similar to a semi-magic weapon and is extremely expensive. But only this kind of ship can withstand the huge waves in the deep sea and the attacks of monsters.
Eight years have passed, and the head of the Gu family is no longer in charge.
Gu Kai and his eldest son were in charge now. Seeing Xu Qingyang looking over, they began to report on their situation.
First of all, on Kuixing Island, ordinary shipping is still going on, but it has not expanded much. It is mainly because it has started to come into contact with the bulk materials of the world of immortality, which was the promise of Feng Sanniang of the Sixth Company.
Perhaps Xu Qingyang has been fully supporting the Sixth Branch of Storm Island, and the Gu family has done a good job.
In the past eight years, the Gu family has taken nearly 20% of the low-end orders for cargo transportation between the main island of Kuixing Island and many secondary islands. It has opened more than a dozen routes of various sizes, and the fleet has expanded rapidly. Several small and medium-sized ships have Ten ships, nine big ships. In addition to maintaining basic expenses, the profits sent to Xu Qingyang are even more than what was saved by Mei Zitou. After all, the Gu family does not have to raise immortals and does not have to spend too much on their own, but Mei Zitou does. Since you are a consumer yourself, you must save your income to be self-sufficient.
Beyond Kuixing Island, there are cross-regional businesses on the three islands.
At present, there is only one low-level semi-French ship, and its business scope is mainly to carry passengers. After eight years of hard work, it has not opened up many high-end businesses.
This is not surprising, their own limit is right there.
Although the income can still be maintained, it is not an option to continue like this. Gu Kai came with high expectations this time.
He could hold it back, but his son Gu Jun was a little irritable. Seeing that Master Xu Xian was listening very seriously, he couldn't help but interject: "The Sixth Company Hall has been expanding over there recently. If it can be exposed a little under the nails, Our profits will definitely be much better than now, Mr. Immortal Master and Sixth Lian Palace."
"shut up!!"
Gu Kai gave a low shout and hurriedly pulled his son to kneel down and said: "The dog is young and has no experience. Please forgive me, Master Immortal!"
"Haha, it doesn't have to be like this!"
Xu Qingyang smiled, showing a sense of affinity, and raised his hand slightly. After Gu Kai pulled the frightened Gu Jun to his feet, he said: "It's a good thing for young people to be motivated, don't be too suppressed!"
Gu Jun was immediately overjoyed, and then was pulled back by his father.
Turning around, he heard Master Xu Xian's style change: "But you are still young, so you have to keep your composure and learn more from your father. It will be yours, no less!"
Gu Jun suddenly became angry like an eggplant beaten by frost.
Gu Kai bowed and thanked him as expected, saying thank you to Master Xian for his guidance and so on. He was obviously very familiar with Master Xu Xian who had served him for many years. Then he heard Master Xu transfer to the official business and said: "Xu Xian Master has been here for many years." I can't get away. Now I have some energy, and it's really time for the Gu family's business to expand. "
"Xiaomei!"
Xiao Mei was criticizing Mei Er because she hated iron, but she quickly raised her head when she heard this.
Xu Qingyang took a look and said, "Don't worry, she will be there too!"
Xiaomei was overjoyed, Mei Er was stunned, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed. Xu Qingyang did not stop him. Although the other party had a talent for making talismans and had worked diligently over the years, the cost of cultivating a five-element pseudo-spiritual root was huge, and he could afford it. After the others stood up, Xu Qingyang continued to arrange: "This year's income on the island does not need to be handled as before. Take it all out and buy another ship for the Gu family. No, all the income in the next few years will also be given to the Gu family. At least buy two magic ships..."
Gu's father and son could no longer hold back their surprise and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.
As for the personnel arrangements later, it was none of their business. Each low-level magic ship required at least five to six disciples above the seventh level of Qi training to operate, and now Mei Zitou could barely take it out.
However, this arrangement meant that there was no income on the island for a period of time, and it was all investment.
Xu Qingyang had his own considerations for this. There would be another round of battle for the island owner soon. As long as he could win another battle, he would have new income. He could then negotiate with the Liulian Palace and negotiate the share of the Gu family's expanded business.
In addition, now was not the time to take over all of the Broken Heart Islands. He could only plan for one of the secondary islands.
Regarding the matter of seizing the island, Xin Ruyin did not consider it. She had recently fallen into a critical period of creating her own martial arts and could not be disturbed. Xiaomei was also not good. Her fighting ability was too average and she had not experienced any fierce battles. In essence, she was still a maid who liked to throw tantrums. The only one who could steadily seize the island was Han Li, who had returned to the foundation-building stage.
Xu Qingyang had many ways to use this guy. It would only take a little time.
