After the winter of the 75th year of emperor Yitian, the situation around juquanling was already called Ding Shuang, Zhou Jingyuan and Wu Meng.


    Chen Hai''s initial situation of wolves was formed, but at this time there were eight Taoist gardens around lion ridge and the nine armour workshop representing the nine powers of Hexi Dong and Yanjing. At the same time, there were nearly twenty foundry factories that were independent of the gaquan ridge.


    Even in the foundry of juquanling, there are more than 12 great craftsmen above the Ming Qiao territory, and Su Yuan is the only one subordinate to the Marquis house of Zhaoyang Pavilion. Outside Juquan ridge, there are as many as forty or fifty strong people in Mingqiao, who extend their tentacles into Juquan ridge on behalf of more than ten overlords.


    The situation of wolves is formed. Their big fat sheep survived temporarily, but it''s more difficult for the big fat sheep to decide their own destiny from then on.


    Juquanling has just had its first snow this year. The snow is not strong, and there is some white between the mountains.


    Although Juquan mountain and Juquan lake are very beautiful at this time, Zhou Jingyuan, who rushed to Zhongfeng bamboo forest to see Chen Hai, was not in a good mood to enjoy the scenery.


    The bamboo forest is located at the foot of Zhongfeng cliff. A waterfall falls down from the 100m high bank to form a pool flow, bypassing Zhongfeng and converging to the big stream at the east foot.


    In addition to several secret rooms opened up in the cliff cave for latent cultivation and refining tools, Chen Hai''s residence in juquanling is several bamboo houses in front of the bamboo forest.


    At this time, Chen Haizheng and sun Buhui are talking about Kendo by the stream and pond. Su Ling squats on the stone bank and is watching a small silverfish special in juquanling swimming in the clear stream.


    Seeing sun Buhui here, Zhou Jingyuan''s resentment could not be vented for the time being.


    Seeing that Zhou Jingyuan had something to say and couldn''t say it, Chen Hai said with a smile, "elder martial brother sun is not an outsider. What can''t you say?"


    After seeing sun Buhui, Zhou Jingyuan thought that there was some resentment on their side, and it would be all right for Hexi to know, so he said: "Today, representatives of the eight Taoist academies came to the door together to reduce the price of gold quenching iron materials supplied in the next phase by 30%. They really deceived people. In this way, the benefits we can get from gold quenching iron materials are very small, and the price is even only one tenth of that of gold quenching iron materials..."


    The situation of wolves around is formed. No one wants to see other families swallow the fat sheep alone, but it doesn''t mean that the wolves won''t work together to cut the wool of the fat sheep?


    Juquanling apparently controlled the output of quenched gold and iron materials at this time, but the price of quenched gold and iron materials was jointly controlled by other forces. It is no longer the juquanling family''s business.


    Even the shichengling Taoist academy, which represents Hexi, has joined forces with seven other Taoist academies to restrict juquanling from raising the price of quenched gold and iron.


    No one is stupid. Obviously, everyone can estimate how low the cost of gold quenching iron produced by juquanling. How can they continue to buy it at ten times the high price?


    Although the two large smelting furnaces will be put into use soon, and the daily output of quenched gold and iron materials in juquanling will be increased to 40000 kg at that time, Zhou Jingyuan calculated carefully that the benefits they can really get from them are even far worse than at the beginning of the year. Why don''t he complain?


    According to his idea, it would have been better to promise the conditions of the black Yan army and bring 30000 Elite Black Yan army back to qintongshan to control the area north of Zuojin Valley, so as to avoid being affected by today''s bird spirit.


    "In addition, there are several great craftsmen in the foundry who are ready to move these days. They say they want to set up a craftsmen association so that the refining of armor and puppets can push the old and bring forth the new -- they seem to have good intentions, but the mind behind them can''t tell anyone." Zhou Jing said with great vigour.


    Sun Buhui was embarrassed. At this time, he was also one of the great foundry masters in juquanling and knew that the craftsman would.


    The establishment of a craftsman Association in juquanling said that it would not interfere with the senior management of juquanling. However, after its establishment, the middle and senior craftsmans in juquanling twisted into a force, not to mention interfering with the management. Instead, it is likely to be a matter of water channels.


    In the final analysis, the power of the Marquis house of Zhaoyang Pavilion is too weak, but it occupies a big treasure that can change the pattern of the world. How can it be alone?


    Since the Hexi side had no ambition to monopolize Juquan mountain, it was afraid of public anger. It still followed the opinions of other families in lowering the price of quenched gold and iron and in the preparation for the establishment of the craftsman Association.


    Although sun Buhui has a good personal relationship with Chen Hai, he can only obey the orders of zongmen and Hexi Prefecture. He believes that Chen Hai will not easily give in to the craftsman. After all, it involves juquanling''s future dominance, but he should make some concessions in other things to fill the appetite of all families.


    Chen Hai stood up without arms and looked into the distance. At the mountain pass less than 20 miles away from Juquan ridge, the city called Liquan has been built in some rudiments.


    The construction of Liquan city has nothing to do with juquanling and Tongbei mansion, but is jointly promoted by eight Taoist academies such as shichengling. After completion, it will also be jointly managed by eight Taoist academies.


    When the city of Lequan is completed and the wide road connecting Lequan with the outside world is opened up, the status of Juquan ridge will be further weakened.


    Now some people want to set up a craftsman Association in Juquan ridge. They have an attempt to overhead their side. No wonder Zhou Jingyuan will be angry.


    Although the situation evolves and develops much faster than Chen Hai expected, he doesn''t feel much surprised and angry.


    At this time, juquanling started with a huge supply of quenched gold and iron materials. In fact, it has formed a super large-scale distribution center for the casting of armor and war equipment. Thousands of excellent armor are cast every month and transported to various places.


    The craftsmen of various clans gathered in juquanling, which led to the emergence of an exchange platform outside the school palace for the first time in thousands of years, which was able to exchange armour, war weapons and magic weapon casting, resulting in the unimaginable vigorous development of medium and low-level mechanism puppets and war equipment manufacturing technology.


    Chen Hai''s personal energy is always limited. It is impossible to consider all aspects in place. More often, he needs to work together, but only the manpower of the Marquis house of Zhaoyang Pavilion is still very limited. At the earliest time, he didn''t even have a great craftsman who knows the environment.


    Juquanling originally supplied the primary mechanism beast to the Mojia department. At this time, it was improved again, which was promoted by the full communication of many craftsmen.


    In this process, Chen Hai himself was also very helpful in the research of mechanism puppetry, but others thought he had been inherited from ancient times, but they didn''t think it would help him much.


    If he only thinks about finding a way to dominate and separate the territory among various forces, and juquanling forms the current situation, he will no doubt not be a success, but also not a failure.


    Unless you don''t want to develop the great treasure of lake mud placer, otherwise, it has been quite successful to form today''s balance situation. The power of Zhaoyang tinghou house is still too weak to monopolize Juquan lake.


    No one will tolerate a small force to monopolize Juquan mountain under the side couch.


    However, at this time, it is too hasty for all families to set up an organization such as the craftsman association to try to seize the leading power of juquanling.


    Chen Hai looked at sun Buhui and couldn''t help weighing Hexi''s attitude. Although Hexi first set up a Taoist temple in shichengling, it didn''t account for more interests in juquanling. What would Hexi think, and what would Cai Chou think? Maybe even if he wanted to set up a craftsman''s Association, he should let Dong take the lead, so that they could take more interests and balance their hearts?


    Although things are generally developing according to Chen Hai''s initial assumption, the more so, he finds that many interests are more complex, which entangles him and is difficult to get rid of.


    “……”


    At this time, a long rainbow came from the direction of shichengling. Chen Hai, sun Buhui and Zhou Jingyuan looked up at each other. After a while, they saw Pei Jinhua, the law enforcement elder of shichengling Taoist school, wearing purple and green clothes and elegant Royal sword flying.


    Pei Jinhua was once the principal of the seven peaks of taiweizong. He entered Yanjing with the jinzuo mission three years ago, and then stayed in Yanjing. In fact, he stayed in Dong Ning as a protector - Dong Ning returned to Hexi sadly, and Pei Jinhua served as a law enforcement elder in shichengling Taoist temple.


    Chen Hai didn''t know what Pei Jinhua was doing when he suddenly came to juquanling. He went up and said, "elder Pei, how did you come to juquanling today?"


    Pei Jin is a middle-aged Chinese, but she is still full of charm. Chen Hai greets her with a smiling face. Her beautiful face is stretched there. She stands on the shining spirit sword. She doesn''t say she wants to come down and take a breath. She directly says, "Hexi wants to marry the western Qiang state. I''ll come and tell you."


    "Dong Ning wants to marry Jinzhou?" Chen Hai asked.


    Pei Jinhua didn''t want to explain more. After seeing sun Buhui, Zhou Jingyuan and Su Ling, he destroyed the sword formula and flew to shichengling Taoist Academy.


    Pei Jinhua suddenly came to report. Sun Buhui was a little confused. He thought that Chen Hai''s public refusal to marry Princess Yuecheng had become known all over the world. It was also said that Dong Shou, the Marquis of Qin Mu, became angry after the event and wanted to kill Chen hai to vent his anger. Fortunately, Chen Hai saw the opportunity quickly and fled to Wen Boyuan''s house early to escape. It has been nearly a year and everyone is about to forget it, Pei Jinhua suddenly ran over. What''s going on here?


    Zhou Jingyuan knew that after refusing to marry, Dong Ning sent someone all night to inform Chen hai to run away. It can be seen that Dong Ning has a deep affection for Chen Hai, but Zhou Jingyuan doesn''t know what Chen Hai thinks of Dong Ning, but since Chen Hai has refused Dong Ning''s engagement, Dong''s family wants to marry Dong Ning to the Western Qiang state in exchange for peace in the western border, even if Chen Hai feels bad, This is also a fact that no one can change.
