Chapter 19 Jealousy
"You came just in time. The family has something to ask you." Li Shile saw Li Zhirui walking into the warehouse and grabbed him to the main hall without saying a word.
Li Zhirui was dragged along with a confused look on his face, causing many tribesmen to stop and watch, each with their own thoughts in mind.
Fortunately, the main hall was not far from the warehouse, and it only took a few minutes to arrive. As soon as the two entered the door, they attracted everyone's attention.
Li Zhirui glanced silently and found that all the senior officials of the family had arrived, and even Li Shiren, who was in charge of Fangshi, had returned. Such a serious and formal scene made Li Zhirui more and more confused and couldn't figure out what they were going to do.
"Shiren, tell me." After the two of them took their seats, Li Shiqing, who was sitting upright, said.
Li Shiren nodded and said: "Last month, the family's store in Fangshi sold a total of 1,500 jade pills, more than 200 talismans, 18 magic weapons and two sets of formations. In total, The income is 5,649 spiritual stones. After deducting various costs, the net income is 3,101 spiritual stones!"
"Wow——"
Although the people present were all high-level family members and quite knowledgeable, they still couldn't help but take a breath when they heard the numbers reported by Li Shiren.
The net income is 3,101 spiritual stones! This is just one month’s income!
Even if it is because the Jade Spirit Pill was so popular when it first opened, it has such a high income. When the popularity subsides, it may not be able to sell so much, but it is still a lot of money!
You know, when the Li family was in Bailang County, their annual income was only ten or twenty thousand spiritual stones, but now they can match that with just one grocery store in four or five months.
Moreover, the Li family still has a large amount of spiritual rice, eight kinds of cultured spiritual beasts, and some scattered spiritual items that are not for sale.
Just when everyone was shocked by this, Li Shiren continued: "Actually, these fifteen hundred jade pills are far from meeting the market demand, because not long ago, several traveling businessmen passed by and wanted to order three thousand jade pills. Panacea.”
"hiss--"
The tribesmen who heard about this for the first time couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Even if the price of the Jade Spirit Pill would be lower because those traveling merchants bought more, it would still be seven or eight thousand spirit stones. Big business!
"No wonder Uncle Ren suddenly came to me a few days ago and asked if I still had the Jade Spirit Pill." Li Zhirui suddenly realized.
Because of Li Shiqing's steady thinking, Li Zhirui did not refine too many Jade Spirit Pills last month. After completing the required number, he went to do other things.
But suddenly one day, Li Shile came to Li Zhirui and wanted to buy the extra Jade Spirit Pill in his hand.
Li Zhirui naturally would not refuse and sold the Jade Spirit Pill in his hand to Li Shile. He also learned from him that the sales of the Jade Spirit Pill met Li Shiqing's requirements.
This news made Li Zhirui very happy, because he could obtain the water alchemy recipe and related alchemy materials from his family.
However, a few days later, Li Shiren suddenly returned to the family and asked if he still had the Jade Spirit Pill, but he returned disappointed. Li Zhirui didn't guess the reason for a long time. He didn't expect that it was because the store had arrived. A big deal!
As soon as Li Zhirui opened his mouth, he attracted everyone's attention. At the same time, many elders' eyes were filled with eager eyes.
But... they are destined to be disappointed!
"I can't refine so many jade elixirs!" Li Zhirui was willing to refine more elixirs. After all, it would be good for him, but it would not hinder his cultivation.
But this time it really doesn’t work, there are too many, and Li Zhirui will not shorten his practice time just to make elixirs!
This is three thousand elixirs! Even if Li Zhirui produces ten elixirs every time he refines elixirs, he still needs to refine three hundred furnaces, and at least ten furnaces of elixirs must be refined every day.
And this is still the best situation. In fact, Li Zhirui simply cannot achieve such a high rate of elixir formation!
"Spiritual stones are important, but cultivation is the foundation!" Li Shiqing spoke up and said with a serious expression: "You cannot oppress or even exploit your tribe because of profit!"
"Once you let me know that this situation has happened in the family, don't blame me for being unkind!" Finally, Li Shiqing released his own pressure, which was a warning to everyone not to touch the bottom line.
Li Shilian's expression did not change at all, because he knew that Li Shiqing would never agree to the short-sighted thoughts of other senior executives, and besides, it's not like there is no other solution to this kind of thing!
"Zhirui, you have been refining the Jade Spirit Pill for several months. Do you think you have some experience in this aspect?" Li Shilian asked with a smile.
Li Zhirui was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized what the elder meant. Various thoughts emerged, and finally he chose the decision that was most beneficial to him.
"I am willing to record my experience of the Jade Spirit Pill and give it to the family, and I can teach the clan members to refine the Jade Spirit Pill, but I cannot guarantee that they can all learn it."
Li Shilian looked at Li Zhirui with a playful look on his face. Judging from the previous contacts, this boy would definitely not be the one who would suffer. There must be conditions.
But Li Shilian guessed wrong this time. After waiting for a long time, he didn't hear Li Zhirui speak again.
"No more?" Li Shilian asked in surprise.
Li Zhirui looked at Li Shilian with a pure face, as if he didn't understand what he meant at all.
"Cough!" Li Shilian cleared his throat in embarrassment, but he still felt that something was wrong. How could Li Zhirui give away his alchemy experience in vain.
He had made a condition to his family before letting Li Zhirui spend more time refining elixirs. Now this has seriously damaged his interests, but he is so calm? !
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
Li Shilian thought about it for a long time, and then he understood why Li Zhirui was so generous.
Show mercy! Li Zhirui was showing kindness to those tribesmen, so that those tribesmen who were learning alchemy would remember his kindness.
At the same time, it also allows the family's senior officials to remember the sacrifices he made for the development of the family.
In fact, apart from these, there was another thing that Li Shilian didn't expect. Li Zhirui wanted to take this opportunity to dispel the jealousy of his clan members towards him.
Although Li Zhirui spent most of his time in the courtyard and didn't go out much.
But every time he came out, Li Zhirui could feel the jealousy of his tribesmen when they complimented him!
As for why you are jealous? Not because the sales of the Jade Spirit Pill were so popular, many clan members thought that Li Zhirui earned a lot of spirit stones because of this, but they could only receive the family's meager monthly money.
Although they brought a lot of wealth to the family because of Li Zhirui, their monthly income also increased a bit.
But hatred of the rich and jealousy are still like sparks of fire, igniting their hearts.
But this is not a good phenomenon. Although Li Zhirui never wanted to mingle with the clansmen, he also did not want to be isolated by the clansmen.
If Li Zhirui encounters any danger when he forms a team and goes out for training in the future, maybe no clan member will be willing to take the risk to save him.
After Li Zhirui discovered that there was such a trend in his family, he was thinking about how to solve the problem, and now was a good opportunity!
