'The senior sister in her fifties is really majestic. ’

This was Gu Qing's first feeling after seeing Zhang Xuanji.

'The Taoist health preservation technique is really bullish, saying that she is in her thirties and some people believe it! ’

This was Gu Qing's only feeling after learning about Zhang Xuan, the senior sister.

"Is this female Taoist really fifty-two years old?" Gu Qing reflexively went to see Mama Hua.

Mama Hua is also dignified and beautiful, sixty years old, and looks like she is in her early forties.

But old is old after all, and if you look closely at Mama Hua's neck and hands, you can still see the traces of time.

But this Zhang Xuanji really can't tell that he is fifty-two years old.

In modern times, Gu Qing must have felt that she had a facelift injection.

Zhang Xuanji, like several junior disciples, was blinded by the merits of Mrs. Qiu.

With this merit, she believed in her brother's speculation that this old lady must be a "heavenly beam" who went down to earth to save the world.

"I grew up in the mountains since I was a child, and I breathed in the breath of heaven and earth so that I looked younger than others. Not only me, but my master is forty-four years old this year, and he is still childish, and he does not look old at all. Zhengyi doesn't know how to alchemy, but he still has the art of refining qi. ”

Zhang Xuanji rarely went down the mountain, but it was common for believers who went up the mountain to be surprised when they saw her, so she also knew what Gu Qing was surprised about.

But every woman always cherishes her appearance, even if the king of heaven descends to earth, it is unavoidable.

Thinking about it, this heavenly monarch is also abnormally beautiful in the sky, and he gave birth to an old woman, I am afraid that he will be aggrieved.

"Do mortals really have such a beauty technique?" Gu Qing blinked his eyes, envious.

She also thought that only immortals or cultivators would have any health exercises, and she didn't expect that any female Taoist priest of the ancient lineage would have internal skills.

Zhang Xuan didn't know that Qiu Lao Taijun was still interested in the art of health preservation, he himself had practiced the "Danding Sutra" of Longhu Mountain since he was a child, and when he saw that Qiu Lao Taijun was surprised, he took the initiative to answer:

"If the old lady wants to learn, I will teach you the art of vomiting in the future. It's not a profound internal skill, it's just that it makes people age slower. ”

Gu Qing's eyes lit up.

Does it slow down metabolism?

Or do you breathe to adjust the state of your body?

"Is that true?"

"Absolutely."

Zhang Xuan nodded.

"Forget it." Gu Qing suddenly lost interest again.

She is now twenty-eight years old mentally, fifty-eight years old in body, and sixty-eight years old in appearance.

Even if she slows down aging, at most, she will always look like she is sixty-eight.

It's so frustrating to think about it.

What's more, Zhang Xuan, an older unmarried handsome young man, taught her internal skills every day......

Gu Qing immediately thought of Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo, practicing what internal skills.

It's a loss!

She doesn't want to double cultivate with him (fog)!

Zhang Xuan didn't know why this old lady Qiu changed his face so quickly, and he glanced at his senior sister, and both of them were confused in their eyes.

Is this a Qi refining technique that can't be looked down on in the mortal world?

"Although the old body is very interested in the Taoist qi refining technique, but the old body is already eight out of fifty, uh no, now that the New Year has passed, the old body is already nine out of fifty, even if it is eternally young, it is still a state of sixtieth armor, and it is useless to learn it." After Gu Qing spoke, he looked at Zhang Xuanji with some curiosity, "Forgive me for daring to ask Daochang Zhang if his right eye is injured?" ”

This female Taoist named Xuanji has a small cloth covering her right eye, which is connected with a strap, and it looks like an eye patch.

Zhang Xuan glanced at his senior sister in embarrassment, but Zhang Xuanji generously took off the soft cloth on his eyes.

An eye with two pupils was revealed.

"It turned out to be a double pupil." Gu Qing once came into contact with a baby who was born with heavy pupils, so she was no stranger to this phenomenon. The original ○-shaped pupil has become ∞-shaped, which looks really scary, but in fact, it is just that the pupil has been distorted by adhesion and split into two pupils.

Because the eye sockets are full of pupils, it looks very scary, especially if there is an eye that is normal, I think that this female Taoist priest named Zhang Xuanji has entered the Tao in Longhu Mountain since she was a child, and it is not an example of Zhang Xuan voluntarily going up the mountain because of interest.

Zhang Xuanji has grown so big, and she has never seen anyone pick up her eyes calmly like this, as if the double pupils are like people who have lost their hair and tanned their skin, there is nothing strange about it.

Although she has heavy pupils, she sees things no different from ordinary people, but her parents abandoned her at the foot of Longhu Mountain because of this, and when she grew up, she encountered a lot of strange eyes.

"To tell you the truth, this time I went down the mountain to warn the emperor." Zhang Xuanji's mouth was to warn the emperor, but Gu Qing was startled, and hurriedly asked his subordinates to go out of the house first, leaving only Mama Hua alone.

Is this going to be another flood, or is there going to be a great drought?

What are these Taoist priests doing in the mountains if they have this ability, they all go to the Qin Heavenly Prison!

Zhang Xuanji didn't think that there was anything that others couldn't listen to her inference, but the old lady was cautious, so she stopped talking and waited for someone to walk out of the alley before continuing to speak.

Gu Qing listened to Zhang Xuanji's inference, and suddenly felt that there was a pile of paste in his head, which was completely incorrect.

Conscience? Is it the conscience that has lost its conscience?

What kind of star is the broken army? Gold, wood, water, fire and earth, there is no one who is called a broken army!

Celestial chaos? Dixing dim?

Killing stars in the north?

Did she go to the wrong set?

"This ......" Gu Qing couldn't say that he didn't believe it at all, so he had to say to Zhang Xuanji: "The old body doesn't understand the ...... of the stars"

'Liar! 'Zhang Xuan.

'Liar! 'Zhang Xuanji.

"But listening to what the two Dao Masters said, this celestial phenomenon should be very serious......," Gu Qing smiled dryly, "Otherwise, please ask Daoist Xuanji to write a letter to His Majesty, and the old man brought this letter into the palace, which can be regarded as a warning to His Majesty." ”

Zhang Xuanji did not want her to take him into the palace when she looked for Old Taijun Qiu, but to pass on the news to the emperor. She is a heavy pupil, and it is inconvenient for her to show up many times.

Mrs. Qiu is willing to enter the palace to deliver a letter for her, which is already very rare.

What's more, since Old Taijun Qiu, who was descended from the Heavenly Monarch, was willing to help them, this means that the heavens are also on the side of Da Chu. Since the Mandate of Heaven is in Da Chu, then Da Chu will not fall.

Zhang Xuan and Zhang Xuanji were overjoyed to thank Mrs. Qiu, so they borrowed pen and ink from the Xinguo Mansion and wrote a letter to Mrs. Qiu to bring into the palace.

Gu Qing himself doesn't believe that he can see the general trend of the world from the stars, but it is difficult to guarantee that others can't. And if the emperor believes this, she deliberately does not report it, and the emperor will know about it in the future, I am afraid that she will think that she is suspicious at home.

So Gu Qing didn't dare to slack off, and handed it to the palace the next day, asking to see the queen.

She handed this letter to the queen, and then handed it to the emperor, at most, it was a bad old woman who was confused by the Taoist priest, if she directly asked Li Mao to deliver it, it would not be so appropriate.

The queen was raising a baby at this time, and when she heard that Mrs. Qiu asked to see her, she thought that there was something important, and she knew that Lu Dao was a female Taoist of Longhu Mountain who saw that the north was going to be in chaos from the sky, and she was very funny in her heart, although she took over this matter, she did not treat it as a major event.

The emperor came to see the empress almost every day since she became pregnant, so the letter arrived in the emperor's hand that night.

Chu Rui had just instructed Li Mao to pay attention to the armaments in the north during the day for Qi Xuan's recital to arrive in half a month, but such a letter came at night, and the shock in his heart can be imagined.

Especially the dim emperor star, the broken army star, and the protection of Tianliang These words simply made him break out in a cold sweat behind his back.

It was such a coincidence that he had to believe it.

Fortunately, it was the Emperor Star that was dim, not the Emperor Star that had fallen, otherwise Chu Rui would not have just broken out in a cold sweat.

The next day, Chu Rui announced that Zhang Xuanji of Qingyunguan had entered the palace, and also sent someone to inquire about the origin of this Zhang Xuanji.

This person is very famous in the Daomen, because he was born with a double pupil and was thrown by his family to the foot of Longhu Mountain, and was picked up by the Taoist on the mountain, Zhang Tianshi thought that the appearance of the double pupil vision on the woman was ominous, so he raised her as a boy, and it was not until the age of fourteen or fifteen that the identity of the female crown was restored.

This woman has a very high talent in yin and yang divination and Ziwei Doushu, and she is especially good at astrology. When Da Chu just started the incident, she predicted that "Ziwei is in the right position, and the world will be safe", and later Zhang Tianshi sent Taoist soldiers down the mountain to help Da Chu, because of this proverb.

When Chu Rui saw Zhang Xuanji's eyes, he couldn't help but believe her words a little first.

People in the world often say that those who are born with double pupils are saints, although Zhang Xuanji only has one eye with double pupils, but he is very proficient in the art of celestial numerology, so he is naturally more convincing than ordinary people.

I don't know what Zhang Xuanji said to Chu Rui, after she left the palace, Chu Rui gave a reward to the Qingyun Temple, and ordered that the female Taoist chief be stationed in the palace to preach in the edict.

This is a treatment that even Zhang Tianshi did not get, you must know that Zhang Tianshi came, and he got an "authentic" signboard, received a set of magic clothes and some red copper and left, but the emperor did not let him stay in the palace to preach to himself.

For a while, all kinds of discussions continued, some people thought that the emperor wanted to learn the way of immortality, and some people thought that the emperor probably wanted to borrow the power of Taoism.

If it weren't for the fact that this female Taoist priest never came out of the palace again, and there was news that she was at least fifty years old, others might have thought of something fragrant.

Li Mao was ordered by the emperor to inform him that there had been a great drought in the desert area north of Youzhou and Yanzhou last summer, and that several of the most powerful tribes of the Waihu people had moved, and asked him to start counting the armaments tomorrow, counting the number of soldiers, and being ready to deal with the war at any time.

Yuan Xi, the general of Zhenbei in the north, has been transferred to Beijing because of Wang Taihe's rebellion, and has become an idle person who has been raised in Beijing. At this time, the general Zhenbei who had just been transferred was Qin Wuyang, a veteran of the Chinese army, who was the grandfather of Qin Bin, another companion of the eldest prince.

Qin Wuyang is old, but he is a veteran general in the army, although he has not led the northern army, he can also control the situation.

The most important thing is that he is loyal, and like his family, he has been a lonely minister for three generations, so he can take over the banner and take charge of the Chinese army after his father Li Shuo handed over the military power.

The Chinese army is the elite of the Great Chu elite, and it is an important basis for Chu Rui to ensure the stability of the emperor's throne, if it weren't for the fact that the number was only 100,000, where would Chu Rui still need to take care of what noble faction, it would be enough for him to speak alone.

The 10,000 northern troops that Wang Taihe took away have not been found so far, and Li Mao and several old ministers of the court and the central government all believe that Wang Taihe should still have a foundation in the north, otherwise the supply of 10,000 people alone can drag him down.

Once the supply in the army is not enough, they will mutiny, especially they are all thieves who have left their hometowns, once they mutiny, even if you are the king of heaven, you can only wait for death.

So far, there has been no news, and it is the worst news.

Chen Siqing's house.

Chen Lao is over 70 years old this year, and he has given birth to countless children in his life, including six sons-in-law, and countless concubines and concubines. However, he was a strange person, except for leaving his young son by his side, everyone else was driven out of the house and went to live elsewhere, and the reason why his young son was by his side was because his young son was born with dementia and had to be taken care of.

Li Zhao is the most talented child Chen Siqing has ever seen. There are too many people in this world who can read, and he has seen a lot of them, but he can calculate complex things in a simple way by relying on mental arithmetic, and he has never been trained.

One is himself, and the other is Li Zhao.

The reason why he loves this child so much is because he sees himself in Li Zhao.

Chen Siqing also failed to read when he was young, but he was born sensitive to all kinds of numbers. Later, the family had given up on him and went to train his younger brother, thinking that he would not be able to become a talent.

It wasn't until he later mixed up with a small official in charge of logistics in the army, and his talent was discovered by the emperor, that he began to really have a place to use.

Just because the former emperor did not dislike him at his age and was willing to teach him by hand, he was willing to let several generations of his family take care of the private treasury for the royal family, and be loyal to Da Chu for the rest of his life.

Now that he has met Li Zhao and heard his experience, he also wants to be a Bole.

He was already very old when he learned his skills, and his career was not long, but Li Zhao is only thirteen years old this year, there are still many places that can be shaped, and the future prospects are unlimited.

Now this old and young man is taking Chen Siqing's two great-grandsons to play "Monopoly" in the study.

His two great-grandsons are both in their teens, and now they are also learning accounting, arithmetic and co-ordination with Chen Siqing. This is now regarded as the Chen family's home school, just like the Qiu family's home school is an institution, every child must start learning at the age of seven.

"It's time to get to my house, give money to money!" Li Zhao stretched out his hand and asked his teacher for a silver ticket.

Chen Siqing painfully counted out a two hundred taels in his pile of money and asked Li Zhao to find it. Li Zhao didn't have change, so he threw the banknotes in his hand into the "silver bureau", exchanged four fifty notes, threw one fifty to the teacher, and picked up the other fifty ones.

Chen Siqing looked at the "silver game" thoughtfully, and asked him seemingly casually: "Do you often play this at home?" ”

"I don't play this often, it's my turn, it's me!" Li Zhao took the dice from the hand of the eldest great-grandson Chen Fang. "My grandmother made a lot of games for us to play, my cousin likes to play military chess, my cousin likes to play a foolish amazing, my brother loves to play Three Kingdoms, they don't like to play this, saying that this is a merchant thing, it is insulting."

Although the status of the merchants of Da Chu is not low, they are still unpopular. This game is thanks to the sale of land.,Barely a landlord and a rich man.,If you buy and sell shops to do business.,I'm afraid it can't be sold in the Linglong Pavilion.。 Even if it is to buy, it is only the children of the merchant's family who will buy it.

As soon as Chen Siqing heard Li Zhao's words, he knew what the habits and hobbies of several children in his family were.

Unlike some pedantic adults, he doesn't think of these games as "playthings". He also regularly sets up some number games for children to solve, which is easier to teach them how to solve problems than ordinary teaching. This old lady Qiu can create so many different games, and she is also an unusual woman.

As a backyard woman, being able to teach children according to their aptitude and discover their talents is the most amazing ability.

No wonder her two sons, Li Meng and Li Mao, are all talents.

Li Meng doesn't need to say it, so far it is difficult for someone to praise Xungui and the clan like him. Although Li Mao looks mediocre, he has stood above this court for so many years with his mediocre body, and he has been going up step by step, is it just by luck and afterglow?

No matter how big his father and brother's face is, others will only help him if others look at him.

This monopoly is a thing that Li Zhao brought home the day before yesterday, and the two great-grandchildren in the family played with Li Zhao whenever they were free in the past two days, and he accidentally saw it, so he let Li Zhao take it out to play together.

He would play it because he could see at a glance that the game was also about management, and there were many rules that were very interesting.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the game, when Li Zhao introduced the role of the "silver game" and "silver ticket", his eyes lit up.

After all, there are very few gold and silver transactions, only when they are collected into the national treasury or local treasury, they will convert copper coins into gold and silver, put on the official seal, and collect them in the treasury. In the people, even if it is a rich and noble family, silver is not commonly used, and most of the money used for purchase at home is copper coins and cloth and rice grain.

Last month, when he was edicted to the palace, the emperor asked him about the various difficulties of Hu City in Fenzhou today, and sought his answers. One of them is that it is not easy to transport silver.

Merchants from all over the country went to Fenzhou with large boxes of silver money to buy horses, cattle and sheep from the Hu people, and the imperial court as a guarantee first collected their money for the goods, and then bought the things that the Hu people wanted for the buying merchants, and finally collected taxes and commissions of the transaction and transported them back to the capital.

The money has been handed over three times, not to mention how much work it takes to transport it, and it takes a lot of time to even count it. As for keeping this money every time, several teams of escorts have to be sent to patrol day and night.

Chu Rui saw that the process of this transaction was very cumbersome, and although it was beneficial to Da Chu, it still had a headache. Hu market trading is in October, when cattle and sheep are fat can be slaughtered, but after the end of the mutual market, the tax and the commission are shipped back to Beijing, often in the second year, the previous year's national taxation has already ended, obviously it is the previous year's tax, but it will not be recorded until the second year, the household department has come to complain several times, saying that it has added countless troubles.

Chen Siqing didn't have any good ideas at that time, so he had to say that he would think about it later. Now that I saw Li Zhao coming with this "Monopoly" and playing a few more games, I immediately realized the benefits of this "silver game" and "silver ticket".

If you only use this kind of silver ticket to settle in the Fenzhou mutual market, you don't know how convenient it is to count it! After the final payment, it was exchanged for silver money, and merchants from all over the country took money from the shops in the capital and handed it over to the state treasury, which also saved a lot of trouble.

Even in terms of credit, the imperial court had to think of some ways to make it acceptable to both Hu and merchants.

Chen Siqing won a few games in a row, and the old man who won was very relieved, and he couldn't wait to kiss Li Zhao a few times.

"Li Zhao, Li Zhao, you are really my lucky star! No, you are really the lucky star of Da Chu! ”

"Huh?" Li Zhao was praised inexplicably.

Can you still export a lucky star if you lose money?

The author has something to say: the whole copy is about to be replaced.

Small Theatre:

Li Zhao: Immortal Lord, walk as you wish. Today, I played cards with the master, and lost a few games in a row, and the master praised me as a lucky star, and it turned out that adults also fought to win or lose......
