Chapter 1054: Chapter 259: Chen 94: What, Wu Mu’s Legacy? (Part 3)
Chen Jie immediately led his men to raid the Golden Fish Gang, and then discovered that this guy truly knew how to enjoy life, with over fifty concubines, some of whom were even virtuous women.
Chen Jie made a prompt decision to release all these women, each provided with ten silver taels for travel expenses.
Upon hearing they would receive ten silver taels, some of the virtuous women silently departed.
On the other hand, those accustomed to a life of luxury refused to leave, yelling loudly, but were eventually thrown out by Ah Niu, finally bringing peace and quiet to the Fishing Guild Street.
Then, Chen Jie and his men raided twenty-eight warehouses belonging to the Fishing Guild, acquiring 300,000 stones of grain, and 200,000 taels in gold and silver. Additionally, there were various ships and shops, totaling hundreds of thousands of taels, truly overflowing with wealth.
Their medicine storeroom astounded Chen Jie, as he found many precious herbs.
For instance, the herbs needed for refining Spirit Transformation Pills were complete, allowing Chen Jie to cultivate a group of subordinates capable of Energy Transformation.
Additionally, there was enough for two batches of Qi Blood Pills.
Lastly, Chen Jie found herbs for refining Warm Nourishing Pills, with True Spirit Grass and Wolf Smoke Fruit present, but missing Jade Bamboo Root, though Chen Jie already had some Jade Bamboo Root.
This meant Chen Jie could refine a batch of Warm Nourishing Pills, which could elevate one to the Wolf Smoke Realm.
Currently, Chen Jie had only four individuals at the Wolf Smoke Realm level, including himself.
Mainly Chen Xiaohu, Jin Yanzi, Zhou Chu, and Chen Jie.
Chen Jie did need to refine a batch of Warm Nourishing Pills to elevate trusted subordinates like Chen Wang and Chen Heng.
You could say that this raid on the Iron Sword Sect combined with the Bilang Sect was not as lucrative as one Golden Fish Gang.
No wonder it’s called the Golden Fish Gang, truly a little golden fish!
“Boss, Iron Face, we’ve found it!”
Chen Jie was marveling at the windfall when Xiao Hu suddenly shouted, and followed by pulling out a white jade box from the top of a shelf.
At this moment, Xiao Hu held it with both hands, looking at Chen Jie and saying, “Iron Face, brother, look.”
Chen Jie immediately looked over and was instantly captivated, because inside the jade box lay a crystal clear snow lotus flower.
[Kunlun Snow Lotus]
Chen Jie felt the chill of the snow lotus, experiencing a penetrating cold sensation, indeed it was the Kunlun Snow Lotus.
At this time, Ni Wenjun entered and said, “Iron Face, how is it, did you find it?”
Chen Jie replied, “Found it Commander Ni, see, this is the Kunlun Snow Lotus.”
Ni Wenjun glanced at it and said, “Yes, it should be. This coldness isn’t something ordinary snow lotuses have.”
“You quickly put it away, once done, come here, let’s discuss the next plan.”
Ni Wenjun didn’t take another look at the snow lotus, as he had promised it to his brother, making it the brother’s and of no use to him. What he cared about now was how to advance his endeavors.
Regarding elixirs, magic treasures, and such, they hardly matter to him, as at his level, regular Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are not very useful.
Hence, it is better to let his younger brother gain strength, as his current power is indeed too weak!
With this thought, Ni Wenjun pulled Chen Jie to discuss his military matters.
Chen Jie then had Xiao Hu collect the [Kunlun Snow Lotus] to give to himself in the evening. Though Ni Wenjun is a good brother and treats him well, some secrets must remain concealed, like his Storage Ring.
Following Ni Wenjun into the Golden Fish Gang’s main hall, which is much larger than where Ni Wenjun stayed at the government office. Therefore, he planned to use it as the military base.
At this time, he took the account book and discussed the subsequent strategy with Chen Jie.
Chen Jie glanced through it, realizing that a simple search in Qianjiang had yielded nearly 600,000 stones of grain, far more than the pitiful 200,000 stones Ni Wenjun initially requested as army rations.
This can indeed be considered a huge profit!
And this was only in Qianjiang Prefecture, while Tianmen Prefecture hadn’t been targeted yet.
Once done, Chen Jie estimated at least 1,000,000 stones, possibly around 1,500,000 stones worth of grain.
With this amount, Ni Wenjun wouldn’t have to worry about provisions anymore, with even surplus.
Ni Wenjun then looked at Chen Jie and said, “Jiu Si, do you want grain supplies?”
Chen Jie responded, “Thank you, Brother Ni, I still have enough supplies.”
Ni Wenjun said, “Then I’ll take 1,000,000 stones; the rest can go to my brother, after all, it was he who gave me this great idea.”
Chen Jie said, “Thanks, brother, but I’ve earned quite a bit myself.”
Ni Wenjun said, “Enough with the courtesy, shall we apply the same method in Tianmen Prefecture?”
Chen Jie replied, “Alright, let it be so!”
Five days later, Ni Wenjun and Chen Jie reconvened, replicating the plan from Qianjiang Prefecture in Tianmen Prefecture.
Almost all Jianghu sects were eliminated, the disobedient experts were gotten rid of, while the sensible ones were retained by Ni Wenjun.
At that moment, Ni Wenjun looked at the list in his hand and said.
“Jiu Si, as you suggested, the grain supplies from the two prefectures total a whopping 1,300,000 stones, with me keeping 1,000,000 and the rest for you.”
This time, Chen Jie didn’t hesitate, promptly followed by Ni Wenjun’s remark, “Next are these Jianghu disciples, I plan to divide them into two groups, one for Qianjiang Prefecture and one for Tianmen Prefecture, forming two large armies, what do you think, Jiu Si?”
Chen Jie responded, “Brother Ni, it won’t work that way, we must mix these people up and redistribute them.”
