Chapter 165 Settled
"Seeing the heart!" Chu Yun looked at the words on the yard gate and nodded with satisfaction.
These words were written by myself. Qi Jie took them back and asked a craftsman to engrave them. They placed them on the door lintel, flying dragons and phoenixes dancing, which was quite unique.
The courtyard is relatively large, at least twice as large as Qingyue Villa. The courtyard inside is divided into three places. The first place is Chu Yun’s daily discussion or meeting guests, the second place is Chu Yun and Yu'er and Xishuang, the two maids, resting, and the third place is a place to practice alchemy and martial arts.
As for the guest rooms, the rooms where the servants live, they are not considered in this courtyard, because Chu Yun’s courtyard is part of the entire Xuanyue Villa, and Xuanyue Villa has a place dedicated to receiving guests or serving the servants live.
At the same time, there is another thing that Qingyue Villa does not have in Guanxin Xiaozhu, that is, it has an underground secret room.
The function of this underground secret room is to store some valuables, mainly elixirs and medicinal materials. Therefore, it was specially used for moisture-proof treatment during construction.
After a long walk in the courtyard, Chu Yun nodded with satisfaction.
As for the two maids Yu'er, they happily arranged Chu Yun and her bedroom. As Chu Yun's personal maids, they were naturally taken care of Chu Yun's bedroom.
After Yu'er and the others left, Hu Tiecheng also left immediately. He was busy teaching his disciples to practice martial arts, while Chu Yun and Qi Jie sat down in a small reception room outside to discuss the affairs of the villa.
"Qi Jie, what's the situation with Xun Hanyun now?" Chu Yun asked immediately after sitting down.
Qi Jie said: "The third brother has basically created the secret halls in various places these days. There is a shop in every county in Shu, with a total of 182. There are restaurants, tea shops, and brothels. These shops are open by ordinary merchants on the surface, and outsiders can't see any mystery. The person in charge of these shops are basically people from the original copycat, and they are very loyal to the owner and the villa. Moreover, these shops are single-line contacts with the villa. Even if one of them is exposed, the rest of the places will not be exposed. This can ensure the safety of the entire Dark Moon Organization. The only thing more troublesome now is message delivery. Due to the manpower, the message delivery is somewhat lagging."
Chu Yun nodded. It is already rare to be able to spread the stall in half a year.
"You draw a smart person in the villa to form an assessment team to secretly assess these secret halls. Once you are determined to be qualified, you will start to develop the offline line. Funds are not a problem. As long as we can distribute our eyes to every corner of Shu. This part of the offline line is only responsible for each secret hall and belongs to Xuanyue's peripheral members."
Qi Jie nodded immediately.
Chu Yun continued: "Are there any problems with the development of the villa now?"
Qi Jie said: "There are no other problems, but there are fewer martial arts secrets in the villa now. My subordinates have ordered my third brother to purchase some basic or primary secrets in various places, but intermediate or advanced secrets are not easy to get."
Chu Yun suddenly became silent. The number of secret books in a force is related to the foundation of the sect.
For most people, there are not many martial arts suitable for practicing. For example, some have unique talents in swordsmanship, while others have rapid progress in hidden weapons. Therefore, if a force wants to grow and grow, it must have various martial arts secrets, just like the Qingcheng Sect.
"I will find a way to do secrets. During this period, I have also refined a lot of elixirs. It should be no problem to trade some martial arts secrets with some strengths." Chu Yun said.
Qi Jie suddenly said, "The owner of the manor, I have an idea, I don't know if it's feasible."
"you say."
"I believe that based on the current situation of our villa, we can build some auction houses in the Jianghu, so that the elixir you have refined can be sold, and at the same time, some people in the Jianghu can send treasures to our auction house for sale. This not only creates some wealth for us, but also allows us to discover and buy treasures as soon as possible." Qi Jie said.
Chu Yun paused a little and said, "Tell me in detail what you think."
Seeing that Chu Yun was very interested in this, Qi Jie immediately stopped hesitating and expressed all his thoughts on this matter during this period.
In fact, there are already many auction houses in the world, and some auction houses are even very large in scale.
But these auction houses have one thing in common, that is, there are very few branches. Even the Arhat Auction House affiliated to Shaolin Temple has only two branches.
These auction houses can understand that they do not have branches. After all, the treasures that can be used for auction are precious things. Not to mention a county, it is a land of a state, and there are only a few treasures that can be taken every year. If an auction house is built in each state, it will definitely be a waste of manpower and material resources.
On the other hand, the dispersion of auction houses will also lead to the dispersion of customer sources, which may cause some truly valuable things to be sold at higher prices.
Qi Jie's idea is different now. He is planning to build an auction house in each state, but the operating model of this auction house is different from other auction houses. In addition to precious treasures, ordinary valuable things can also be put into the auction house.
These items will not be auctioned separately, but will be placed on the counter and will be priced by customers. Within a certain period of time, the higher the price will be awarded.
At the same time, the precious treasures collected by these auction houses are auctioned in a centralized manner.
In other words, the auction houses currently exist in the world tend to be more of the high-end market, while Qi Jie pays more attention to the low-end market and takes into account the high-end market.
Once the auction house has a reputation, there will definitely be many people willing to send the treasures to their auction house.
For other newly built auction houses, it is not easy to make a name for themselves, but for Chu Yun, it is just a matter of several elixirs.
Chu Yun frowned slightly. He was thinking about the pros and cons. After a while, Chu Yun said: "This method is feasible, but it has to be progressed step by step! Our current strength is still too weak. If we completely expose ourselves, there will be a catastrophe."
"I understand!" Qi Jie said, "I have considered this. We can only auction some level 4 and 5 pills in the early stage. In this way, even if people from the Zhoutian realm are interested in these pills, they will not force them. As for the existence of Tongmai realm, we don't need to worry too much. With our three brothers, even if we are at the peak of Tongmai realm, we can barely fight."
Chu Yun nodded, and he was still a little silent. Although his development was already very fast, he was still too weak compared to the major forces in the world.
Especially now that chaos in the world is about to arise, if you do not have enough strength, it will be difficult to protect yourself, and Chu Yun couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency in his heart.
Afterwards, Chu Yun discussed with Qi Jie for a while, and finally ordered Qi Jie to arrange personnel to go to Gongzhou City, and take his parents and Mr. Liu to the villa to live, and of course Dongfang Zhuo.
When Qi Jie left, Chu Yun began to think.
He was considering a question about the future direction of Xuanyue Villa. Is it necessary for Xuanyue Villa to present it to the world now?
The development in secret naturally has the benefits of development in secret. As the saying goes, a big tree attracts wind, and the sudden emergence of forces is easily suppressed by other forces.
But the opposite is also true. It is easier to accumulate contacts and make relationships with some strength, which is more beneficial to future development.
After thinking a lot, Chu Yun could not make up his mind, so he decided to put the matter aside for the time being and make a decision when it needed to make a decision.
Anyway, no one knows Xuanyue Villa now. Even in Gongzhou County, no one knows that there is such a Xuanyue Villa. This place is indeed too remote. Although a road has been built to the official road, who has run dozens of miles away and walks to the end of the official road to see what it is?
Next, Chu Yun meditated in his practice room, and after he recovered his energy, he came to the courtyard.
A sharp whistle sounded from Chu Yun's mouth. In less than a few breaths, a huge golden figure fell from the sky and landed in the yard.
This is Xiao Jin.
"You guy is spiritual, you are not lost." Chu Yun quipped his feathers and said with a smile.
“Small…”
"Young Master, this..." Two figures rushed in from outside quickly, but it was Qi Jie and Hu Tiecheng. They also saw giant birds rushing into Chu Yun's courtyard in the distance. They were worried and rushed over to rescue them.
Chu Yun said, "This is a rare bird I took not long ago. It will often appear on Xuanyue Peak in the future. Don't panic."
Qi Jie and the others suddenly realized, and then admired Chu Yun even more. Although they had just watched the golden eagle, they could still find its extraordinaryness. I guess even their three brothers might not be able to withstand this golden eagle.
Chu Yun naturally wouldn't say that this golden eagle already has the strength of the late stage of the Zhoutian Realm or even the peak, otherwise they wouldn't have suffered a lot!
After sending Qi Jie and the others away, Chu Yun touched the golden eagle's head and smiled and said, "This is your home in the future. I will refine the detoxification pill for you in a while."
The golden eagle shouted happily twice, as if to be what Chu Yun said.
Chu Yun came to the alchemy room, pretended to refine the pills, and then walked out. If it were just an ordinary bird, Chu Yun wouldn't have to do this, but who made the golden eagle so intelligent? If he knew that he had deceived it, he might become enemies with him.
But for me, the chance of such a thing happening is zero, because no one except me knows how much detoxification pill he has on me.
After taking two more detoxification pills to the Golden Eagle, the poison in the Golden Eagle's body disappeared, and the feathers completely returned to golden yellow, making the guy unable to help but fly into the air and cheer for a few rounds.
