Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 75 Applying for a Business License
This time, Kang Dabao is going to Hancheng, which is controlled by the Yue family, another major force in Yunjiaozhou.

The Yue family of Hancheng and the Niu family of Dingnan, located in the south and north of Yunjiaozhou, can be regarded as the leading forces.

Since the battle of Pingman, the Xian Dynasty has gradually and passively and actively withdrawn the forces projected in Yunjiaozhou, the main battlefield of Pingman.

Don’t underestimate this place, it’s just a small border state.

If it weren't for the fact that the Liangyi Sect had almost openly exposed its practice of allowing barbarism to run rampant, and had not bothered to hide its greed, and had blatantly done such evil things as sending its disciples to collect the blood and energy of living creatures, that would have given the Immortal Dynasty a reason to get involved in the matter.

It was because of the bad behavior of the Liangyi Sect that his family directly aroused the anger of other forces in Shannan Road, which is why they allowed the Xianchao to enter.

Otherwise, it would be almost impossible for the David Immortal Dynasty to so smoothly send so many monks directly under the dynasty to participate in the suppression of the rebellion in Yunjiao Province, which was actually controlled by the Liangyi Sect.

Also because the Liangyi Sect was in the wrong, the David Immortal Dynasty took the opportunity to find fault with it, which gave the Immortal Dynasty the opportunity to get involved in the former's territory.

The Xian Dynasty also regained some of the people's support in Yunjiao Province by relying on its prestige by pacifying the barbarians.

This also led to Shen Lingfeng, the then governor of Shannan Road, even to come up with the idea of ​​extending the tentacles of the Xian Dynasty's power into Yunjiaozhou again.

It was because of this opportunity that Patriarch Zhang of the Chongming Sect was able to split from the Zhang family in Fenlizhou and establish his own sect in Pingrong County.

From then on, old soldiers like Patriarch Lei Zhang began to grow luxuriantly like branches attached to the big tree of the Immortal Dynasty.

Under the guidance of Shen Lingfeng, they gradually came up with the idea of ​​completely squeezing the Liangyi Sect out of the entire Yunjiao Province, and striving to restore this somewhat important border province to the rule of the king.

However, Shen Lingfeng's idea did not take shape in the end. The reason was that the enemies of the Immortal Dynasty were not limited to the Liangyi Sect.

Sannam-do is not Gyeonggi-do.

The power of the three Yuanyings and one hundred Jindans of the Immortal Dynasty seems to be extremely powerful, but they only have enemies and no friends in these more than 400 states.

Other forces in the Dao might be happy to see the Liangyi Sect make a fool of itself, but they were absolutely consistent in one point of view: not an inch of land in Shannan Dao should be returned to the rule of the Xian Dynasty.

Although due to the flickering soul lamp of the founding emperor, everyone has not completely torn their faces with the Xian Dynasty, and on the surface they all respect the Xian Dynasty as their leader.

But if the Xian Dynasty has any other inappropriate ideas, they will also use some means to make the whole world see the joke of the Xian Dynasty.

Fortunately, the Liangyi Sect did not make things too ugly and did not choose to go to war directly with the Immortal Dynasty.

However, his family still relied on their strong influence in the local area and used many evil tricks to cause a lot of trouble to the Immortal Dynasty, making the latter unable to bear it.

In the nearly two hundred years since the chaos, even in the heart of David's capital, there has been war.

As a key figure in the imperial court, Shen Lingfeng naturally could not stay in Yunjiaozhou for long under such circumstances.

He had to return with his barbarian-pacifying army as soon as possible and put out the fire at the door for those royal family members and wealthy people.

Due to these two reasons, the Immortal Dynasty became increasingly weak in Yunjiao Province, and has weakened to the point where it is almost negligible in recent years.

Take the Pingrong County Office for example. Forget about collecting taxes. Even if the head of the Kang family coughed when passing by the entrance of the office, the county master who was practicing Qi at the second level would tremble.

During the past two hundred years, countless pawns planted by the Immortal Dynasties were uprooted by the minions arranged by the Liangyi Sect.

The reason why Patriarch Zhang's Chongming Sect, as the "remnants" of the Immortal Dynasty, has been able to be passed down relatively safely to this day is entirely due to the fortunate fact that the second-generation patriarch brought the sect to ruin too quickly.

When they took action at that time, they didn't even take the power of Chongming Sect into consideration.

Nowadays, most of Yunjiaozhou has actually been regained by the Liangyi Sect. Even the chief officer and assistant officers in the county government are all minions of the Liangyi Sect, and some even directly select low-level disciples to serve in these positions.

Only a few counties, such as Pingrong County and the neighboring Jin County, were affected by the war and their spiritual veins were disrupted because they were the central battlefield of the Pingman Campaign.

For the time being, there is a power vacuum where the Immortal Dynasty cannot control it and the Liangyi Sect is too lazy to intervene.

There are nearly ten golden elixirs and dozens of fake elixirs in the Liangyi Sect, which dominates several nearby states.

They were just a few poor counties, so they were left there to save some face for the Immortal Dynasty. Whenever they wanted it, they could get it. Under such circumstances, the Immortal Dynasty and the Liangyi Sect let the weak and incompetent chickens in these counties fight each other, and let them grow wildly for a few years.

Therefore, although the monks in these counties live a more difficult life, they are indeed less restricted, which is hard to say whether it is good or bad.

But anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Immortal Dynasty was not yet in decline and was about to collapse. It was only a matter of time before the Liangyi Sect would clean up Yunjiao Province and re-enter the scene.

The Yue family of Hancheng is different from the Chongming Sect. They have been sitting on the boat of the Liangyi Sect from the very beginning.

It was already a large foundation-building clan with many talented people, and it happened to be at a good time when two tigers were fighting each other.

Over the years, the Yue family has gained countless benefits from the Liangyi Sect by making trouble for the Immortal Dynasty.

One of the biggest benefits was that they were given the power to manage and distribute business permits to all the markets and towns in the southern part of Yunjiao Prefecture.

The Yue family is usually the force that applies for business licenses, and the tax amount is roughly determined according to the size of the family.

After applying for a business permit, the market will be registered as long as the annual tax payment is not overdue.

With the name of Hancheng Yue Family, the registered market can avoid the risk of being robbed by some vicious bandits to a great extent.

This is the case with Linghe Market, although murders and robberies outside the market have been common in recent years.

But at least on the surface, Linghe Market has never been invaded by evil cultivators.

The Yue family of Hancheng was just too lazy to take care of it because they were influenced by the Liangyi Sect, not that they couldn't do it.

There aren't many bandits in Pingrong County who have the guts to challenge the hegemony of this half-state.

The purpose of Kang Da's trip was to apply for a business license for Chongming Market. This was actually quite difficult, not as simple as just sending out the spirit stones.

There are many people in this world who want to worship Buddha, but few can find the temple door.

Kang Dabao rode his black-blood horse and traveled day and night to Hancheng.

With the help of the He family's connections, he finally met a third-class manager of the Yue family after many twists and turns.

Don't think that their position is low, they may think that your business is small.

Master Kang was so happy that his face was broken with smiles. He spent dozens of spirit stones and accompanied this "servant master" for five days of feasting and drinking. In the end, he only got one chance to meet the master assigned by the chief merchant, and the time was only half a cup of tea.

Kang Dabao got up very early that day, took a bath and burned incense, then went there early.

When I arrived at the master's door, I realized that I was too late and ended up having to wait in a long line.

“What a damn world! There’s such a long queue, all here to give money to the master of the Yue family?” Looking at this scene, Sect Leader Kang felt a little sad.

"You can't compare yourself to others. You are still secretly happy about making a few broken spirits, but look at others, they just sit there and people line up to send money in."

After waiting from sunrise to sunset, Master Kang saw that there were only three or two people left in front of him. Before he could be happy, he heard that the doorman of this family actually started to drive people away.

Among the people waiting with him, there was one with a bad temper. It was obvious that he was tired of waiting, so he argued with the doorman with a frown and was immediately slapped in the face by the doorman.

After a few slaps, the monk's eyebrows bent down and even the words he spoke became soft.

The man laughed as he beat him: "What's the point of beating you? Even if I beat you, you still have to line up tomorrow, right?"

Kang Dabao hid far away, looking at the scene in front of him with emotion, thinking: "I have seen people who hold spiritual stones but cannot give them away, but I have never heard of people who cannot give spiritual stones away and get beaten. What kind of hell is this world?"
