Chapter 737: Contract Spirit
It turns out that in the cultivation world of Chu County, the signing of contracts has become a trend.
The so-called contract is an agreement between the two parties to establish, change, and terminate the relationship between the two parties on the purpose, process, and results of their cooperation.
For example, this time Xiao Mian funded Yue Jitian, and a contract can be signed.
After Yue Jitian drafted the contract, Xiao Mian couldn't help but look at it carefully.
At first, Xiao Mian laughed at Yue Jitian's fuss, and suspected that this kid was afraid that he was setting a trap to frame him. But as time went on, Xiao Mian's expression became more and more solemn, and in the end, Xiao Mian was no longer careless.
It was only because the draft contract drafted by Yue Jitian made a comprehensive and systematic analysis of Xiao Mian and Yue Jitian's joint efforts against Shui Qianyue and Shuiyue Sword Pavilion!
For example, Xiao Mian provided funds and Yue Jitian provided strength, and the two made the most detailed and timely communication on Shui Qianyue's whereabouts, and both parties were not allowed to deliberately conceal.
For example, if Shui Qianyue discovers the identity and intentions of one party, the other party must try its best to rescue the other party within the possible scope to prevent him from being hurt.
Another example is how the two parties divide the fruits of victory after the success...
Everything is vivid in my mind, no matter how big or small!
Taking off the jade slip engraved with the contract, Xiao Mian's expression became strange.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao! Do you think this contract is okay?"
Seeing Xiao Mian's strange expression, Yue Jitian couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Although the contract trend is quite popular in Chu County, Yue Jitian also knows that it is only in Chu County. For cultivators in other places, signing a contract is probably unnecessary, right?
With a turn of his eyes, Yue Jitian showed a slightly embarrassed bitter smile.
"Ji Tian also knows: Now I am alone, helpless, and can only contribute this meager strength. In future plans, Xiao Daoyou may need to provide more spiritual stones and materials!" Seeing that Xiao Mian remained silent, Yue Ji Tian was quite uneasy, and finally gritted his teeth and tried: "How about this! Let's change this 'equality contract' into a 'relief contract', Xiao Daoyou, what do you think?"
"What is an equality contract? What is a relief contract?"
After Yue Ji Tian explained, Xiao Mian shook his head.
As the name suggests, the two parties of an equality contract are equal, while the two parties of a relief contract have a comparison of strength and weakness. Of course, correspondingly, the distribution of benefits that both parties can get on the day the contract is reached is also completely different.
"I think this equality contract is very good, and there is no need to modify it!"
According to Yue Ji Tian's suggestion, Xiao Mian branded another contract according to the herb, and then the two signed their own marks on the two contracts, and it was considered done.
Holding the contract jade slip that belonged to him, Xiao Mian was full of doubts.
"I have a question, please enlighten me, Brother Yue!"
"Brother Xiao, you want to ask: how to ensure the execution of the contract?" After Xiao Mian nodded, Yue Jitian, who was in a good mood because Xiao Mian agreed to sign an equal contract, explained: "This has to start with the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, the largest force in Chu County..."
It turned out that the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce was established in the world of business and attached great importance to contractual relationships.
Over time, the trend of Chu County monks making contracts became popular.
For some monks who are obsessed with the spirit of contract, from apprenticeship to dinner and chess, they all need to sign a contract in advance.
It is even said that some monks have to sign a contract before recruiting Taoist companions...
The reason why the way of contract can become popular in Chu County is not only because the monks in Chu County have become accustomed to the spirit of contract led by the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, but more importantly, under the supervision of the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce's unfathomable strength, the contract can be strictly enforced.
As long as the clauses are drafted to protect their own interests when signing the contract, once the other party of the contract infringes on their interests, Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce will come forward.
"Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce? No wonder! But I still don't understand: even if Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce has great power in Chu County, how do they ensure the execution of the contract?"
"This..., to be honest: Ji Tian also knows a little about the specific situation. But I heard that it has a lot to do with the special jade slip for signing the contract..."
Xiao Mian was stunned when he heard this, and carefully checked the jade slip that Yue Ji Tian gave him.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the black cloth in his body trembled slightly, and Xiao Mian's heart moved.
Could it be that Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce monitors the execution of all contracts in the cultivation world of Chu County through the Zhoutian Xingxiu Great Array spread throughout Zhongzhou?
If Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce really has the ability to modify or use the Zhoutian Xingxiu Great Array, then as long as each contract text is imported into the system of the Zhoutian Xingxiu Great Array, a record will be left, and then through the information progress of the two parties to the contract in the Zhoutian Xingxiu Great Array, if it is to monitor the contract, it is not impossible.
If this is true, Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce is even more terrifying than I imagined...
However, if Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce can really remain neutral and become the only arbitrator in Chu County, then the spirit of contract is not without merit.
The spirit of contract seems to restrict the freedom of cultivators, but in fact, this kind of contract with explicit provisions is the most profound freedom for the vast majority of ordinary cultivators...
The essence of the spirit of contract is a spirit of freedom, equality, and trustworthiness.
Signing a contract is not necessary for the strong, but it is very necessary for the weak, which is why Yue Jitian took the initiative to propose signing a contract.
After understanding the general situation of the contract, Xiao Mian felt mixed emotions.
A small contract greatly protects the interests of low-level cultivators!
From this point of view, it is not unreasonable that Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce can be based in Chu County for ten thousand years. Only by ensuring the maximum interests of cultivators can it be supported.
After that, the Qingmu flying boat carried everyone eastward.
During this period, Xiao Mian seemed to be careless and asked Yue Jitian about all kinds of things about Chu County and Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce.
Yue Jitian knew everything, but this kid himself had never left Yunxi City. Most of the human relations and worldly affairs he knew were mostly obtained from his master and even the classics of the sect. It is still unclear whether he can do it accurately...
Fortunately, the long journey was boring, but it was better than nothing.
Ten days later, everyone arrived in Xiangfan City.
Xiangfan City is already located in the hinterland of Chu County. It is prosperous and prosperous. Naturally, it is not comparable to the border towns such as Yunxi City.
Let alone the country bumpkins like Xiao Mian and Xuancao, even Yue Jitian, a native Chu County cultivator, was stunned when he saw the prosperity of Xiangfan City.
In fact, Xiangfan City is not big.
Let alone Wanzong City where Xiao Mian lived for a while, even Xianyang City in Qin County at that time was three times larger than Xiangfan City.
However, the vigor and vitality revealed by the entire Xiangfan City is not comparable to Xianyang City. Even Wanzong City, which is known as the source of all sects, is probably a little inferior.
The past cultivators were all in a hurry, and there were few who made trouble out of nothing.
Obviously, all the cultivators in Xiangfan City were busy with their own affairs. The entire Xiangfan City was like a tireless huge machine, running non-stop.
Xuancao and Yue Jitian were just simply amazed, but Xiao Mian felt sincerely shocked after being amazed, and even a little terrified!
The liveliness shown by Xiangfan City frightened him.
Although the various cultivators in the streets and alleys seem to be busy with their own things, it is extremely chaotic, but there is order in the chaos, and there is no chaos in the entire Xiangfan City.
This would be absolutely unimaginable in Wanzong City!
If Wanzong City and Xiangfan City were to have a city-wide attack and defense, regardless of the number and strength of the top cultivators, it is still unknown who would win and who would lose in terms of ordinary cultivators.
It should be noted that Wanzong City is the best in Nanyue Province, and Xiangfan City is just a random city in Chu County. How can the two be compared?
After being shocked, Xiao Mian felt sincere sadness...
It is no wonder that the cultivators in Zhongzhou look down on the cultivators in Nanyue Province. In fact, in terms of absolute power comparison, Nanyue Province is indeed not as good as Zhongzhou, and the difference is not a little bit!
This kind of emotion, Xiao Mian could not understand it at all when he was in Nanyue Province.
Thinking back to the day when the scholar described Zhongzhou's uniqueness, Xiao Mian, who had not yet formed a pill, secretly laughed at the scholar's cowardice of being a Yuanying ancestor but only boosting others' ambitions.
Now it seems that he is short-sighted!
It seems that he has made the right choice to travel around the world...
If there is no determination to leave, how can there be open-mindedness after returning?
Although Nanyuezhou has been weak for a long time, it is Xiao Mian's hometown after all.
One day, Xiao Mian will return to Nanyuezhou. He will tell his fellow monks in Nanyuezhou what he has seen and heard in Zhongzhou. He will encourage more monks in Nanyuezhou to leave Nanyue and travel around the world. He wants Nanyuezhou to become a paradise that is not inferior to Zhongzhou.
But Xiao Mian knows better than anyone that ideals are beautiful and reality is cruel.
For this ideal that seems absurd now, Xiao Mian must continue to strengthen his strength and become the strongest and the most powerful who can change reality!
The monks of Nanyue State certainly want to revive Nanyue State, but will the monks of the other four states be willing to let Nanyue State develop?
At that time, it will not be indifferent contempt, but premeditated strangulation!
With a different mind, Xiao Mian seemed to care about everything in Xiangfan City, including the layout of the city, the control of public security, the cultivation of monks, the composition of professions, and even the price level. Xiao Mian took in everything and kept a close eye on it.
After going around Xiangfan City, the three of them saw all the scenery of Xiangfan City.
Of course, even if the three of them were on the go, they would not dare to say that they had seen all the scenery of Xiangfan City. After all, although Xiangfan City was not as big as Xianyang City at that time, it was at least one of the 81 cities in Zhongzhou. How could the three of them visit the whole city in one day?
It was just that the sun was setting in the west, and the three of them had just arrived. It was not good to sleep in the open air, right?
After discussing, the three of them walked into a rather impressive inn for cultivation.
As soon as he entered the inn, Xiao Mian's heart skipped a beat.
It's true that enemies meet on a narrow road. He can run into this fairy wherever he goes!
The one who came forward was none other than Shuiyue Sword Pavilion's contemporary goddess - Shui Qianyue, who was praised by the Chu County cultivation community as the Water Moon Fairy!
