Chapter 14 Beef prices have risen
The "Source Light Mirror" is a very high-end magic weapon, because of its superior properties such as secrecy and inability to shield, it was designated as a forbidden object in the Taizong era, and it was forbidden for the people to possess it, and only the government, the army, and the Taoist Palace, the temple These organizations can have it, and it will be checked and checked every quarter.
Lu Zhenren took the mirror in his hand to the priest wine: "Yes, I checked it just now, this one is not numbered, it is an ...... outside the control"
The priest wine hurriedly checked: "It is indeed not numbered, and it does not look like a standard product, but looks like an illegal workshop made by itself." It's not easy to check......"
The process of making this thing is very complex, and it requires at least one team to support it, but any organization with this ability is directly under the control or supervision of the Dao Palace, the Temple, and the State. According to the regulations, each "source light mirror" needs to be numbered by a variety of means for inspection.
However, there are policies and countermeasures, because this thing is so easy to use, there are always some illegal organizations that will privately make this kind of thing and sell it at a high price.
Lu Zhenren asked, "Well, did you find anything in this warehouse?"
"Thanks to the reminder of Su Lei from the Taoist Academy, we found this ......" Mu Saijiu introduced Su Lei's reminder and took out the bronze medal and handed it over. Then the confirmation process is introduced.
"You're this year's graduate, right?" Lu Zhenren looked at Su Lei, his face a little kinder.
Su Lei hurriedly replied: "Yes, real person, I am Su Lei of the 1005 level spell system......"
"Good, very energetic!"
"Good observation, well, I've heard of you, the head of this spell department, and I also heard that you contracted a real dragon as a spirit pet...... Lu Zhenren's expression was a little strange: "The true dragon spirit pet hasn't appeared for almost 100 years, and among the people I know, you are the second, come on......"
"Uh, yes......"
Looking at the expression of "You are so bold, I admire you", Su Lei was speechless.
Isn't it just a real dragon as a spirit pet? The news spread so quickly that even this Lu Zhenren knew about it.
As for what happened to the other party's "first person to use a true dragon spirit pet" now, he didn't have to ask, it wouldn't be a good thing to think about it, otherwise the other party wouldn't have that kind of expression.
It's better not to ask about this kind of thing, so as not to increase the pressure on yourself.
Su Lei thought very heartlessly.
"Diablo, Lord of the Scourge?" Lu Zhenren took the sign and looked at it repeatedly, and asked, "Is there any such a brand?" where did you find it?"
"There are three more similar ones, as for the place ......" the priest wine walked to a position and pointed to the ground: "This bronze medal was found here, and the other three are there...... There and there......" he said as he popped up a few small balls of light and stopped above the ground, indicating the location.
Although Lu Zhenren is not a member of the temple system, the rank of the people is there, and the pastoral wine has to be obediently cooperated.
It's not easy for him to let his subordinates do this kind of thing, and he goes into battle himself. A police officer next to him also hurriedly handed over the three bronze medals that had been cleaned out, and they found a total of four of these signs, with the same patterns and patterns on them.
Lu Zhenren looked at the four balls of light, and then frowned: "Strange, these four positions are not in the middle, and the arrangement is not regular." Pastoral wine, haven't you found ornaments with similar patterns in other locations?"
"No, it's just that these four signs have the image of that person......"
"It is strange that if this group of people are His followers, then the people in the central position should be His priests, how can they not wear ornaments with His image?"
As soon as Lu Zhenren's words came out, everyone couldn't answer.
Perhaps only a few people in this organization are His followers...... But it doesn't matter, this organization is definitely not a serious way to come, so first according to the existing clues, thoroughly investigate this organization!" Lu Zhenren finally made a decision.
Yes, this is the right thing to do, instead of pursuing those cult cultists hiding underwater, it is better to track down the relatively more obvious secret organization, so as not to be led into the ditch.
Su Lei gave Lu Zhenren a thumbs up in his heart.
Suddenly, Lu Zhenren stopped him: "Xiao Su, you take these brands back and hand them over to your Vice President Zhang Wuyao, just say that I asked him to analyze the origin...... Pastoral sacrificial wine, you also give him a copy of the body sample of the deceased on the brand you just extracted, and let the Taoist Academy analyze it together, I would like to know what kind of fat these evil god believers have......"
Speaking of the back, his tone was already with Sen Ran's sword intent, fortunately, it was just a flash, otherwise the people on the scene would be unlucky, and the sword intent of the sword immortal can really kill.
After arranging the follow-up, Lu Zhenren's body shook and disappeared into a gust of yang and wind.
"Gathering is formed, and dispersion is formed...... Great, this is the real person of the Yang God! I am so lucky to see the immortal today!" The envy on Zhu Zhenmo's face was about to condense into substance.
The young gentleman next to him glanced at him, and said mockingly: "Ahem, this classmate, Lu Zhenren is a sword immortal, not an immortal." Sword cultivation can't become immortals, it's not a series, are you students of the Aoshan Daoist Academy so uncommon?"
"You ......" Zhu Zhenmo was so stunned that he couldn't speak, and his face was blue and white for a while. It's not that he doesn't want to ridicule each other, but what the other party said is right, sword cultivation and immortals are indeed not the same system, and "immortals" are the second products of the spell system, that is, the Fang Shi series.
"This classmate Zhu is not talking about the 'immortals' in the series, but the kind of 'immortals' that the folk usually say, that is, the overhaul of all the four Yang gods and above. Su Lei saw that his classmates were angry, and immediately took out the momentum of this year's chief student bully and went back.
“...... Besides, who said that sword cultivation can't become an immortal? At a certain stage, similar series can be converted to each other, sword cultivation and spells are exactly similar series, as long as you reach the fourth rank or above, you can transfer with Fang Shi, this is the common sense that our students in Aoshan Dao Academy know......"
"This ......," the young man's face changed dramatically when it was his turn.
Zhu Zhenmo's heart was refreshed: "Hahahaha, this senior brother, if you don't know, you can ask your tutor ......"
There is also competition between today's Dao Law Academies, similar to the relationship between ancient sects. Despise each other, mock each other, and make fun of each other at every opportunity...... And so on is not just the culture of secular universities.
At this time, the priest came over with a box and scolded them: "Okay, okay, go and get down to business!" Chunjiang, you should go and get down to business, what are you doing here......"
He also graduated from the Aoshan Taoist Academy, but the gentleman named Chunjiang was his subordinate, so he had to help each other, and each played fifty boards and mud.
............
"Hahahaha, that sand sculpture of Yushan is actually pretending to be a comparison in front of you, now it's pretending to be a stupid comparison. What is the first level of 1004, it seems that the level of their Yushan Academy is only like this, hahahaha......"
On the way back to school, there was Zhu Zhenmo's laughter, and for him, the guy who won Yushan seemed to be happier than the head of the department, even if it was not his own results.
"I can't say that, the Wuzhu department in Yushan is still very strong, they just pay less attention to other majors......" Su Lei smiled, and said a few words of hypocrisy and modesty.
Suddenly, his face changed, and he slapped his head: "Oh no, I still have to buy steak, I promised Xiu Xue today, if she wakes up without steak to eat, something will happen...... In addition, there is a treat, and I have already said it in the morning, I am going to have a treat this time, so let's go together. ”
"Okay, I'll go with you......"
So the two hurriedly turned back to the commercial area to buy meat.
Half an hour later, the two of them bought a slaughtered white cow, five white pigs, twenty white chickens, and a lot of ingredients to be used for the treat.
It is more cost-effective to buy this kind of semi-finished white livestock and poultry than to buy meat directly, which is very important for Su Lei, who now has a big stomach at home.
In addition, he also ordered a ton of marine fish as a daily staple food for Xue Xiu.
Kotoshima is close to the sea, and the seafood is quite cheap. If all the meat is used, it won't take a few days for Su Lei to use the "pension" that is ready to be used as the capital, so let's use cheap fish and meat.
Anyway, Xiuxue also likes to eat fish very much, especially the kind of fish with a high fat content.
"Made, this beef has risen to 105 baht per kilogram, I remember it was only 90 baht last week, a full one-sixth of the price ......" Su Lei complained with some pain to the unscrupulous profiteers.
Zhu Zhenmo looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "There are people in my family who are in foreign trade, so I know a little about this matter." According to my family, because of the recent unstable routes, more than a dozen ships transporting cattle and sheep from overseas have sunk, and many merchant ships can only be gathered to organize escorts, and they can only run three times before four trips, so the price of beef and mutton will naturally rise......
The population of the Great Xia Empire was as high as 1.8 billion, and there were 1.5 billion on the mainland, although the local area was as high as more than 20 million square kilometers, but nearly a quarter of it was rotten land that was not suitable for cultivation and animal husbandry, so the per capita arable land and pasture were not much.
In addition, modern people pay more attention to the quality of life, and the consumption of meat is very large, and the local production is simply not enough to eat.
At present, the empire has to import large quantities of meat and aquatic products from foreign countries and overseas provinces every year to meet domestic consumption, of which beef and mutton, in particular, account for almost half of the total annual consumption.
Most of them come by sea, and if there is a problem by sea, it is strange that the price will not be increased.
"What's the matter with the unstable route?" Su Lei frowned, if the price of beef continued to rise, the expense would be large.
Zhu Zhenmo shrugged: "What else could it be? Of course, it's an old problem, the sea monster is causing trouble! I heard that the Imperial Army, the Dao Palace, and the Divine Temple drove out a large number of powerhouses above the fourth rank to suppress the sea monster. But you also know that this kind of thing is only a palliative, not a cure, even if it is solved this year, it will be again in a few years, and the sea monster will not be killed......"
The hardest hit area of Reiki revival is actually not the continent, but the ocean, even if the human beings in this world have many transcendent beings, but the ocean, especially the deep sea, is still a forbidden area for human beings.
There are many times more transcendent creatures in the sea than on land, and they are far more powerful than on land.
After so many years of continuous encirclement and suppression, monsters above the fourth rank are rare on land.
But in the sea, it is simply as many as a dog with four products, and there are three products everywhere, and only one and two products can shake it.
"Well, got it, I hope those bigwigs can solve the problem sooner......"
Although he said this in his mouth, he remembered in his heart that the "accident" encountered by his original parents was also a shipwreck, and he inexplicably linked the two accidents.
He vaguely felt that there must be some connection between the two. But now he doesn't have the ability to investigate, so let's deal with the graduation exam first.
