Zhelongfu City has hundreds of thousands of households and a population of more than two million. There is an endless stream of pedestrians and merchants coming and going, so it is extremely difficult to seal and inspect the city.

Entering the city in a carriage, Li Yuan opened the curtain.

"Cooking cakes, freshly baked cooking cakes..."

"Roasted chestnuts with sugar are only thirteen cents per pound."

"Sell charcoal, sell charcoal..."

The weather is still very cold just after the New Year, and there are already a lot of pedestrians on the street, and the cries of various vendors can be heard all the time.

"No wonder Old Man Tiger wants to go fishing. Trying to find a team of masters in hiding and disguise in the city is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Li Yuan shook his head inwardly. Without Skynet, the only way to find someone was to search house to house, but this was of little significance to an expert.

Search with the front foot, walk with the front foot, and come back over the wall with the back foot. How can ordinary soldiers catch it?

"No wonder the profession of knife catcher can be derived. Warriors have to be caught by warriors."

Li Yuan gave the order to the carriage, and the disciple driving the carriage walked slowly down the street while he scanned the pedestrians on both sides.

After walking around for a few streets, he saw that he was not far from the forging shop, so Li Yuan simply changed his route and went to the forging shop.

Find Liu Zheng and Wang Peiyao who came down the mountain a few days ago to handle business.

"What does this smell like on you? It stinks like hell!"

As soon as Li Yuan entered the house, he heard Wang Peiyao's complaint, and a stench hit his face.

"Senior Brother Li."

Liu Zheng cupped his hands and explained with some embarrassment: "In the past few days, I have been recruiting those night fragrance men, so it is inevitable that I will be tainted with some smells."

"Yakaro?"

Li Yuan opened the door of the house and sat down: "The Zhao family has been in ruins for so long, no one has done anything about this business?"

Ye Xianglang is a chore, but Dung Ba is not.

Ye Xianglang walked through the streets at night, collecting money from each house and transporting it to the outside of the city, but it was also good waste.

There has always been no shortage of people competing for this business, and the Zhao family relied on Qiu Zhengxiong's relationship to win it back then.

"After the Zhao family fell, there were quite a few people fighting for it, but they were all small families. The larger families were frightened and didn't dare to reach out."

Wang Peiyao covered her nose and said: "The Zhou family, the one who first cooperated with us, also got involved. Liu Zheng was afraid that his family would be left alone, so he also got involved."

Liu Zheng added:

"Senior Brother Li, this business may seem inconspicuous, but it is a big business. The Zhao family used to rely on this alone, earning at least five thousand taels of silver every year."

"How much?"

Li Yuan also knew that Dung Ba made money, but he never expected to make money like this. You know, the Zhao family only monopolized the business in a few urban areas.

"Each family will share some profit, I guess it won't be that much, but our family can at least get a share of a thousand taels of silver."

Liu Zheng said.

Li Yuan nodded and suddenly felt something in his heart: "I heard that Ye Xianglang goes around the streets and every household collects and returns the dung buckets?"

"Senior Brother Li also knows?"

Liu Zheng nodded: "Cleaning the dung bucket is also included, but it is really hard money. Most dung tyrants will not take a commission. It seems too mean."

"Well, that's it."

Li Yuan's heart moved:

"Then you have time to tell the dung tyrants from all walks of life and ask them to pay attention to the traveling traders with foreign accents..."

"Don't do it in my name. It's up to you to figure it out. You can spend some money and contact as many companies as possible."

"yes!"

Liu Zheng didn't ask, nodded in agreement, and went out to take a shower.

"Brother Li, are you looking for someone?"

Wang Peiyao also opened the window, and the smell in the room was almost gone, then she got up and poured Li Yuan a cup of tea:

"I heard that the information in Yunshu Tower is more complete than that in the Valley Supervisory Hall, but it is very expensive."

"Yunshu Tower? I'll go take a look later."

Li Yuan nodded. Forces that dare to rank on various lists must have a strong intelligence system.

But there is no reason why Jing Shuhu doesn’t know. I’m afraid he doesn’t have it or hasn’t bought it. After all, time is too sensitive.

Wang Peiyao didn't ask any more questions, she just went to the house to get the information she had collected during this period.

Li Yuan didn't even look at it, he took it into his arms first and asked:

"Have you heard from those leather stores?"

After experiencing the benefits of controlling boots, Li Yuan never forgets it.

"I have asked, but..."

Wang Peiyao shook her head and said: "There are many more spiritual beasts in Fucheng than Gaoliu, but they also have many uses.

Half of the spirit animal skins collected by those families are supplied to the Soldier Forging Valley, and the rest are digested by each family. Most of them are used to make inner armor and outer clothing, and only a very few use them to make boots."

She naturally knew about Li Yuan's hobbies and had already found out clearly:

"The only ones that make boots in the city are the 'Liu He Tang' and the 'Yang Boot Studio'. They are easy to say and will sell the skins of spirit animals, but the price is much more expensive."

"So, spirit animal skins are still rare?"

Li Yuan nodded, took out a few hundred-tael silver notes and handed them over: "Please pay attention. Whenever there is a spirit animal skin on the market, you have to buy it at a premium."

Breeding spiritual animals is difficult. Most of them are wild and live in deep mountains and old forests, making them difficult to capture.

In a sense, spirit animal skins are more popular than spirit animal meats, and they were sold out as soon as they appeared on the market.

"Well, I'll keep an eye on it."

Wang Peiyao was secretly shocked. The treatment of true disciples was beyond her imagination.

He obviously came from a poor family, but within a short time, he had become addicted to luxurious things like "spirit beast boots" and "spirit beast belt".

Fortunately, he doesn't seem to be interested in rings and necklaces. Those are the big spenders...

"By the way, are there any rings, necklaces, etc. that are polished with spirit animal bones?"

Li Yuan asked.

The appearance of the Five-Step Spirit Snakeskin Belt made him feel that the items that the weapon can control seemed to be much richer than he had previously expected.

The belt is fine, but what about rings and necklaces?

"ah?"

Wang Peiyao subconsciously straightened her back, almost thinking that he could read minds, and stammered:

"Yes, there should be, right?"

"Let's go and take a walk!"

"Shopping, shopping?"

Wang Peiyao opened her mouth, her face slightly red: "Well, I, I'm going to wash my face."

…

It was already noon, and the streets and alleys were still crowded with people, and the noise was very lively.

"There is a jewelry store in front."

Wang Peiyao had dressed up carefully and looked very pretty in a simple military robe.

With her as a guide, Li Yuan strolled slowly, scanning back and forth with his peripheral vision. Except for the food stalls, he didn't need to stop at each one.

Because of the news of the departure of the Sanyuanwu army, there are far fewer traders coming to Zhelong Mansion than in previous years, but there are still a lot of good things.

Li Daoye has a lot of money, and he will buy it whether he is a high-level person or not, but he thinks that the control effect is useful or rare.

By the way, I also looked at the weapons on the people in the Jianghu who passed by.

Various rays of light intertwined in his eyes, and Li Yuan felt his eyes were a little sore before he even arrived at the jewelry store.

"It would make my eyes dazzle to see the whole city."

Li Yuan rubbed his eyes and followed Wang Peiyao into the jewelry store. The first thing that caught his eye was a variety of gold and silver accessories, including jade and agate.

There are many female relatives in the store choosing, and they all have good looks and figures.

"Miss, sir, what do you want?"

A maid came to greet him.

Wang Peiyao's expression remained normal: "Are there any jewelry related to spiritual beasts?"

"Are you talking about spirit animal bone accessories?"
