Red Dust Daqian

Chapter 155: Li and Shen, two daughters, successfully entered the shrine

This word woke Shen Qianrou up from her dream. She had always wanted to join Huaxi Shrine to help Zhou Sen complete the task. In addition, after being fooled by the gods' messengers, Shen Qianrou, who was in a daze, almost followed the oath in a daze.

Li Ning'er's words completely pulled Shen Qianrou back. She was not only herself at the moment, she was also the head of Qianmu Hall and represented Qianmu Hall. Shen Qianrou followed Li Ning'er and nodded repeatedly, asking what obligations and benefits Qianmu Hall would have.

The gods on the left and right were also shocked. This situation had never happened before. In the past, those who entered the Huaxi Temple became believers of Huaxi God after being brainwashed by the two of them. They obediently took the oath and willingly joined the Huaxi Shrine. No one had ever put forward any conditions.

The left and right divine envoys even doubted whether they had successfully brainwashed Li Ning'er and Shen Qianrou. If Li Ning'er had not said that she was willing to join the Huaxi Shrine before bargaining, the left and right divine envoys would have started to drive them away. Of course, those who failed to be brainwashed would be eliminated.

In view of Qianmutang and Shuimutang's powerful money-making ability, the left and right gods' envoys did not hastily choose to get rid of the two. Moreover, the loss would mean the elimination of three gods, and an apprentice gods' envoy would also have to be eliminated. If they did so, it would be difficult to explain to their superiors.

At this time, the gods on both sides shifted their attention to Zhou Sen. Fortunately, Zhou Sen had already stopped looking through the roster and sat down obediently.

Zhou Sen was of course speaking to Li Ning'er and Shen Qianrou at this moment. Zhou Sen said, "This shouldn't be considered private. Sooner or later, they will need to know what their business can get and what they need to do. I think that Master Li and Master Shen sincerely want to join the Huaxi Shrine, otherwise they wouldn't come to the Huaxi Temple with me. Now I just want to think more about my own business before officially joining the society. It's not too much. I believe that even if they know, the two masters will continue to join the shrine. In order to make the two masters willing to join the Huaxi Shrine, please help the two masters and talk about their obligations and rights after joining the society."

Being inside the Huaxi Temple, Zhou Sen, Li Ning'er and Shen Qianrou certainly could not escape. After the conditions were stated, if the two chose not to join, the left and right gods' messengers would have no worries about dealing with them.

After discussing with each other, the two divine envoys decided to tell them the conditions and rights first. So the five of them started the negotiation mode.

According to the left and right gods, after joining Huaxi Shrine, the Shrine can guarantee the safety of Qianmu Hall and Shuimu Hall's operations in Jiangxia Prefecture, and will not be affected by any evil forces. It can even help Shuimu Hall and Qianmu Hall eliminate other competitors in Jiangxia Prefecture and ensure that the two halls dominate their respective industries. Qianmu Hall and Shuimu Hall certainly don't need this. The reason why the two halls can rise is entirely because of Zhou Sen's technology that transcends the times.

The left and right divine envoys continued to say: The reason why Qianmu Hall has been able to operate safely in Jiangxia Prefecture without being harassed is that Huaxi Shrine has given a heads-up. If the shrine had not taken a fancy to Qianmu Hall's colored glaze, I'm afraid Qianmu Hall would have been destroyed in Jiangxia Prefecture long ago. Now that you join Huaxi Shrine, it is giving you the opportunity to continue operating in Jiangxia Prefecture.

Zhou Sen, Li Ning'er and Shen Qianrou looked at each other in surprise, thinking that both cannons and candies were being used together.

The left and right gods said that after joining Huaxi Shrine, Shuimu Hall and Qianmu Hall must hand over 20% of their turnover to Huaxi Shrine. 20% of turnover, not 20% of profit, this is hard for Zhou Sen, Li Ning'er, and Shen Qianrou to accept, it is simply robbery, if it is a business with low profit, it is completely unbearable, fortunately Qianmu Hall and Shuimu Hall have high profit margins.

Before Li Ning'er and Shen Qianrou could refuse, the divine envoys on both sides added: "If you join Huaxi Shrine, you will not be subject to government control, which means you can directly stop paying the 10% business tax from the government."

Zhou Sen, Li Ning'er, and Shen Qianrou were shocked. Could it be that in Jiangxia Prefecture, Huaxi Shrine was already above the government? The three wondered if the government's business tax was stopped, would the government still allow Shuimu Hall and Qianmu Hall to operate? Wouldn't the court become suspicious over time?

The gods on the left and right sneered and said: Don't worry about the business operations of Li Ning'er and Shen Qianrou. As long as you join the Huaxi Shrine, even the governor's office will not dare to cause trouble for you. As long as you hang the sign of Huaxi Shrine at the gates of Qianmu Hall and Shuimu Hall, both the underworld and the white world in Jiangxia Prefecture will have to avoid you, and no one will dare to interfere.

As for the imperial court, they have their own explanation. As long as the Huaxi Shrine is in charge of Jiangxia Prefecture, the imperial court cannot do anything to them.

Zhou Sen sighed, this is using foreign powers to bully others. Shen Qianrou and Li Ning'er both found it difficult to accept the 2% turnover, which was 2% higher than the business tax. In the end, after negotiations, after some complaints and Zhou Sen's overt and covert favoritism, the left and right divine envoys made concessions. After all, Qianmu Hall and Shuimu Hall were too big to lose. After the final negotiations, the two sides negotiated the turnover from % to %, and with the exemption of the court business tax, Li Ning'er and Shen Qianrou reluctantly agreed.

The 15% turnover was satisfactory to the Gods and was within their expectations. Besides, Shuimu Hall sold them three jars of Shuimu Hall Immortal Wine at a reasonable price every month.

Soon, Li Ning'er and Shen Qianrou completed the oath of joining the society. Finally, it was time to eat the poisonous insects. This was the most heart-wrenching part for Zhou Sen, because the two of them had to really eat the Huaxi poisonous insects. Although Zhou Sen had already mastered the antidote to kill the Huaxi poisonous insects, which could completely solve his worries, the moment of eating the poisonous insects and getting the antidote was really painful. This was well demonstrated by Li Qinwei. Even a grown man couldn't bear it, let alone the two girls, Li and Shen, who were weak women.

Li Ning'er and Shen Qianrou ate the Huaxi Gu worm decisively, then their eyes rolled back, their tongues stuck out, their hands and feet twitched, and they looked like they were living a life worse than death, which made Zhou Sen very distressed. He felt like his heart was being stabbed with needles, and once again his women suffered. Zhou Sen quickly asked the left and right gods to give them the antidote.

Li Ning'er and Shen Qianrou took the antidote one after another, and after a while they slowly recovered from the pain. Their clothes were soaked with cold sweat from the pain.

Zhou Sen felt that his sin was grave and unforgivable, and he would never let them suffer such pain again. Zhou Sen, who was overwhelmed with emotion, could not hold back for a moment, and rolled up his Taoist robe to wipe the cold sweat from the foreheads of Li Ning'er and Shen Qianrou, with an intimate gesture.

Fortunately, the left and right divine envoys were immersed in the joy of successfully recruiting Li and Shen into the society, and did not think too much about it. The left and right divine envoys looked at each other and sighed: You are a good Taoist priest, and you know how to be sympathetic to women.
