Chapter 209: Thunder
"What's the point of staying in the palace?"
The eldest grandson Wuji was slightly dissatisfied with Li Shimin's lack of progress: "Do you still have nostalgia for those books in the Chongwen Pavilion?" To be honest, although these classics can make people have extensive knowledge, there are very few real rare books, far less than the ones you read when you taught the little princess. β
"Of course not. β
Li Shimin shook his head, and when he saw that the eldest grandson Wuji still wanted to persuade him again, he quickly changed the topic: "Don't talk about this, let's talk about the masters who live in your house now." Presumably your uncle has a headache now, too?"
The eldest grandson Wuji didn't understand why Li Shimin asked about this, but after he heard this, he still frowned: "Who said no? These hundreds of people eat horses and chew horses, and they spend a lot of money every day." But this time, the Son of Heaven showed no mercy and copied their Bohai County Mansion to the bottom, and my uncle's brother now has not much family assets left, and he must be subsidized by my uncle. β
But in the past, Gao Yue, the king of Qinghe, and Gao Mao, the assassin of Taozhou, did not leave much money for his children and grandchildren. The life of their Gao family was already hard.
"It's not the way to go on like thisβ"
Li Shimin looked unexpected: "You might as well ask them about the situation when you go back, are you interested in coming out to make a lot of extra money?" Just say that I, Li Shimin, am willing to hire them with a lot of money and let them help me do some business in Kansai." All treatments are higher than the market price. β
"What do you mean?"
The eldest grandson Wuji stared at Li Shimin suspiciously: "Do you have any business in Kansai? Why don't I know?"
Li Shimin smiled and said without hesitation: "It's a salt seller!" You know, when I entered Beijing at the beginning of the year, I once saved the daughter of Zhang Zhongjian, a bearded guest of the country. There is an intention over there, and they will partner with me to do a private salt business,"
Just the day before yesterday, Li Shimin received a letter from Tang Jian, saying that the situation had been completely opened up over there. The low-cost private salt provided by Zhang Zhongjian was like a long-term drought in the Kansai area, and it was robbed by various forces in the Kansai region.
The 15,000 stone of white salt and the 1,000 stone of green salt were already sold out in a very short period of time.
But at the same time, the stormy waves from the big salt merchants in Kansai also followed. Zhang Beidou and He Ruobi's pro-army in the past went in time, and they barely helped Tang Jian to calm the situation.
However, the latter still complained in his letters, saying that there was a slight shortage of manpower. Only Zhang Beidou, Wang Nuozhen, and Wei Zhi, the three second-class, are very difficult to hold on to the current situation. If it is convenient, it is better for Li Shimin to send one or two strong players to Kansai again. If it's a sorcerer, that's even better.
In addition, this also asked Li Shimin if he could get more supplies from Zhang Zhongjian?
There is nothing wrong with the latter, as long as the first deal is successfully concluded, how can that Tubo Zampu not want more money?
Zhang Yurou can make the decision on this matter, saying that she will try her best to persuade the Qinghai-Tibet side to increase the goods provided every month by about two times. In other words, Li Shimin can earn more than 600,000 yuan a month by relying on this business.
But in terms of manpower, Li Shimin is unthinkable. The second- and third-grade powerhouses in this world are not cabbages, they can be found everywhere, and there are even fewer of them who can be trusted.
So last night, after Gao Fu sensed the group of masters, Li Shimin had this idea.
He doesn't need to recruit loyal and reliable masters now, how can he have a group of powerful and credible people to help him stabilize the situation in Guanzhong.
As for the arms and minions that you can really rely on, you can slowly look for them in the future.
"You're still in this business?"
The eldest grandson Wuji was greatly stunned, and looked Li Shimin up and down for a long time, and then replied: "I'll go back and ask first, if it can be done, I can't guarantee it." β
Although he said this, he had already made up his mind in his heart, and he must persuade his uncle and those old departments of Gao Ying. With Gao Shilian's family background, he supports these many people, but he is afraid that his family will be empty in a few days. And those subordinates of the Bohai County Duke should also be very clear about the situation of their family. As long as these people still have face and some self-esteem, they will definitely agree.
The two finally said goodbye at the bridgehead at Tianjin Bridge, and then Li Shimin couldn't wait to get into his carriage. Then there was a heavy slap on the sculpture,
Sure enough, after the sculpture was shattered, a small purple gold plate appeared inside. It seems that the whole body is made of metal, but when it can be touched by hand, it is warm and smooth, like jade. There is a small hole in the middle of the object, the body is an irregular circle, and the outer edge has three serrated ridges of the same shape, all rotating in the same direction, and between the ridges there are four groups of serrations for each of the three teeth. The whole artifact has a total of three similar large convex teeth and 12 groups of 36 small convex teeth, which are equally distant.
In addition, there are scales and yin and yang two instruments, gossip pictures and texts, painted on it. There are also two seal characters like dragons flying and phoenixes dancing - Dao Heng!
Li Shimin only glanced at it and saw that this was a stargazing artifact 'Jade Xuanji'.
"Shangshu Shundian" has clouds - in Xuanji Yuheng, with Qi Qizheng.
According to the explanation of the Western Han Dynasty Confucian Kong Anguo - in, Chaye, Xuan, Meiyuye;
Li Shimin was overjoyed, he knew that there were treasures in the wood carving, but he didn't expect it to be such a caring instrument as 'Jade Xuanji'.
"Dao Heng Xuanji, or Xuanji Dao Heng? Forget it, it's called Dao Heng Xuanji, in short, it's a good baby!"
Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he held this treasure in his hand and looked at it carefully.
Only a moment later, he not only let out a sigh of admiration, this sword was cast in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but it has been a strong spirit until now, and it has not been damaged by the passage of time.
You need to know that the previous owner of this thing, but Yu Ji, the great master of the late Han Dynasty, has been a thousand years ago!
Yu Ji this person, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty enlightenment, created the "Taiping Qing Lingshu", and traveled between Wu County and Huiji, built a dojo for 70, with water to cure diseases, very popular with people.
But it was precisely because of this demon law that he confused the public, which angered Sun Ce and beheaded him with jealousy.
The latter not only killed Yu Ji, but also took a fancy to the many Taoist treasures mastered by this great grandmaster. It's just that Yu Ji had expected himself to die beforehand, and hid most of his treasures in twelve wood-carved statues.
The latter itself is also an extraordinary object, it is a thing similar to the karma map of the true spiritual position, which can help people visualize the gods and practice the art of inviting the gods, so they can be listed on the fifth floor of the Vientiane Tower.
No one knew about this until 600 years later, when someone accidentally discovered the mystery and obtained the treasures in these wooden statues.
At that time, for these wood-carved statues, there were several bloody storms, and some people traveled all over the world with the intention of excavating and looking for this thing.
But at that time, the vast majority of the twelve wood-carved gods were missing. or hidden in the cold house, or buried in the ground, without a trace.
This turmoil caused by Yu Ji's relics has also disappeared like a splash under the endless wars in the Central Plains. Only a few people recorded this incident in their notes as an anecdote.
Li Shimin was well-read in Chongwen Pavilion and happened to see this incident, so when he saw this wood carving in Vientiane Pavilion at that time, he was very surprised.
To Li Shimin's delight, this thing was finally safe and sound, and it fell into his pocket.
According to the results of his preliminary exploration, this 'Dao Heng Xuanji' is undoubtedly a magic weapon, and the quality should be between the first and second grades, which is equivalent to the 'Taiwu Apricot Yellow Flag' that Zhang Yurou is now using - it is worthy of the Taiping Zhenjun Yu Ji, who has to spend his time and hide it in the wood carving statue, and does not want to be seized by Sun Ce.
And Taiping Zhenjun Yu Jiqiren, few people may know about this era. But when it comes to Taipingdao, many people will be like thunder.
The three brothers Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang of Taiping Dao, in their early years, obtained the "Taiping Qingling Book" from Yu Ji, so that they ranked among the power of the god-level grandmasters at that time, and created Taiping Dao, which set off a monstrous chaos in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Li Shimin couldn't hold back, and immediately got in the carriage and tried to perform a star spirit secret method that he was practicing.
After that, he was pleasantly surprised to find that this spell, which he had not yet mastered and was not working from time to time, was actually easily cast. He didn't even need the assistance of Dao Determination and Spiritual Words, he only needed to think together, with the help of the power of this 'Dao Heng Xuanji', and compare the heavens and stars, he could easily guide this technique. The whole process takes less than two breaths.
This is also an extremely fast spell casting speed - even those third-grade magicians who are now at the same level as him can reach this level, and there are less than a hundred people.
Then if Li Shimin can make further progress in this Star Spirit Secret Method, then its casting speed will be terrifyingly fast, and it will not be a problem to cast it three times in one breath time.
But what is more expected is the help of this thing to the law of inviting the gods. Li Shimin expected that this object, if it was used in conjunction with his Divine Technique, would be enough to raise his Dharma Protector God to a jaw-dropping height.
In addition, once the magic weapon of 'Dao Heng Xuanji' reaches night, it should be able to increase its power by several percent.
If it is in the daytime, 'Dao Heng Xuanji' is just a magic weapon between the first and second grades, then at night, when the stars are shining, this thing will definitely enter the forest of the first grade!
Unfortunately, this is neither nighttime nor suitable for summoning the Divine Venerable.
Li Shimin could only be very helpless and put this magic treasure into his Purple Qi Qiankun Tower.
A magic weapon needs to be practiced by a magician, and only when it reaches the point of connecting hearts and minds can it exert its greatest power. However, tonight, he still has one more important matter to participate in, so he can only postpone the time of refining this treasure until tomorrow.
