Chapter 166 [Hype, Start with Legends]

I don't know when the day began, there was suddenly a magical legend on the streets of Fanyang City, which sounded a little mysterious, but it was very in line with the cognition of ancient people.

The general content of the legend is like this, it is said that the former Xifu Zhao King is the reincarnation of the golden-winged Dapeng bird in the sky, because of his unruly personality, so he offended the heavenly court.

Heavenly Court sent him to suffer in the world, and took away his divine power before degrading him......

Behind it are some deliberately vague secrets, mixed with the poignant love story of Li Yuanba and the Prairie Saintess.

For example, in order to save Li Yuanba, the saintess in the story was digging fairy grass in Xianshan day and night, her hands were ground by stones and bloody, and she finally moved the heavens with true emotion......

Because this legend involves the royal family, it attracted people's attention as soon as it appeared, and at this time, Fan Yangcheng suddenly sent countless martial marquis to patrol the streets, all of which were filled by Xuanjia iron cavalry, and no one was allowed to talk about the secrets of the royal family.

The more so, the more it can't be suppressed.

As the legend spreads more and more widely, it gradually wants to radiate from Fan Yang, and because there are constantly businessmen coming and going to Fan Yang, this legend spreads extremely fast.

Some businessmen even used birds at great expense.

They don't pay attention to the secrets of legends, they are keenly aware of the goods behind the legends, and these clever merchants are all in a hurry to pass on the book to the family, so that the family has to raise a lot of money to sell their houses and land.

The reincarnation of the gods, the saint saving her husband, and the scenes of Li Yun and Princess Linglong in the back, these secrets have aroused the gossip hearts of countless people.

Gradually, as the story continued to circulate, the Xuanjia Iron Rider 'couldn't be suppressed no matter how much he pressed it', and a magical fairy grass surfaced.

Cordyceps!

It is said that this thing is the thing that the heavenly court fell to the world, it is a fairy insect in winter, and it becomes a fairy grass in summer, whether it is a worm or a grass, the treasure should not remain in the world, so they can only survive for a summer and a winter, and then it will become a combination of fairy insects and grass.

This thing has a fairy spirit, and mortals can prolong their lives if they eat it.

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Taoism was mainly promoted, and since ancient times, there have been immortals who have been full of people, and I don't know if it is Li Shimin's secret handwriting, and there are Taoist masters in Fanyang City.

For example, the famous Yuan Tiangang of the Tang Dynasty, this Taoist master galloped from the starry night of Chang'an, it is said that he did not stop for three days and three nights, and as soon as he arrived in Fanyang, he shouted to see the emperor, he wanted to use the fairy grass to refine the elixir, and prepare to fly to heaven.

Boy!

Even Yuan Tiangang came, and the name of Cordyceps Grass was finally confirmed.

Countless merchants, families from all over the world, and even the royal families of the Western Regions, including the gate lords of the Three Kingdoms of Liaodong, Fanyang City is becoming more and more crowded day by day, and countless people are inquiring about the secret of Cordyceps Grass.

It's a pity, the more I inquire, the more disappointed I became, no one in the trading center put this thing up for sale, and the merchants had never heard of it.

Someone couldn't hold back his impatience and took the opportunity of the auction one day to ask King Zhao, but King Zhao of Xifu was furious and drove that person out of the trading center directly.

It is said that even the silver medal of the membership was confiscated.

But the more you press like this, the more you can't suppress people's desires.

……

Finally, one day, there was a small guy who had a shocking shit luck, this little guy was the groom of a caravan in the Western Regions, and he was mainly responsible for feeding the caravan horses on weekdays.

His name was Ali Baba, a name that is said to be used only by poor ghosts.

Ali Ba worked hard every day, had to get up before dawn to chop hay, and stayed in the stables until late at night, but his employer only gave him two flax cakes a day, and only paid him 200 copper plates a month.

Although the treatment is so poor, Alibaba still grits his teeth and insists that he has four younger sisters to support in his hometown in the Western Regions, and he doesn't want his sister to become a laughing orchid.

Early in the morning, before dawn, Ali Ba Ran began to chop the hay again to feed the horses, and suddenly he found something in the hay.

It looks like a bug, but at the top it looks like dead grass.

The whole body is yellowish in color, which looks very strange.

If it was left in the past, Alibaba would definitely not care, but recently, the whole Fan Yang has been discussing fairy grass, and Alibaba sighed in his heart.

At this time, there were two working grooms in the stable, and Ali Baba quietly hid the things in his arms, and he continued to chop the grass to feed the horses, and found several more of the same thing in the grass.

Forcibly holding back his excitement and trying not to tremble, he secretly put everything away and continued to feed the horses in the stable.

After dawn, Alibaba did not pick up his flax cake as usual, he came to the Fanyang Trading Center with what he found, and then found the goods display area and threatened to do a display.

He had no money, and was almost beaten out by the steward of the goods display area, but when he took out the few things from his arms, the steward of the display area suddenly screamed and snatched them away.

"My God, it turned out to be Cordyceps Fairy Grass, this is the Cordyceps Fairy Grass that His Royal Highness King Zhao has been eating!"

The steward's tone was extremely excited, and even became a little fierce.

He grabbed Ali Baba by the collar and asked fiercely, "Is there anything else, where did you find it......?"

Alibaba's face was full of horror and he took out a few more.

It ended happily.

It is said that King Zhao of Xifu rushed to hear the news, and even the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was alarmed, and King Zhao directly gave Alibaba ten yuan of money, and then bought eleven cordyceps grass.

On the same day, there was an exquisite wooden plaque on the high wall of the wooden pavilion of the trading center, which was engraved with the words "Cordyceps Grass", and the price of the transaction was noted at the bottom: the current price is always one.

How big is a cordyceps?

It's not as thick as a baby's tail finger!

However, the value is consistent, and it can be called more expensive than gold.

Alibaba made a small fortune, ten times the money is enough for him to do a small business, a small guy who feeds horses to people, and in a blink of an eye has become a businessman with a little money, which is legendary, and is hotly discussed in Fanyang City every day.

The most important thing is that Alibaba let everyone know what Cordyceps looks like for the first time.

The eleven cordyceps, once a family found King Zhao and wanted to buy it at a high price, but King Zhao was furious, and the Turkic princess Linglong even pulled out a golden knife to cut people.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is two months, and at this time it is almost the end of the year, and the whole north is fluttering with heavy snow.

Suddenly, a group of people came in rags, braved the wind and snow and walked into the gate of Fanyang City, they were so poor that they couldn't even pay a copper plate to enter the city, and they all cowered and looked very restrained.

Each of them carried a small bag on their backs, and bluntly said that they came from Jiannan Road, and it took more than ten days to reach Fanyang from Jiannan, even if they rode horses, but these people traveled on their feet for more than a month, and they actually reached here by begging.

Someone quietly observed their shoes and found that they had long since worn out, and at this time they were standing almost barefoot in the snow in the snow.

Approaching 3,000 miles, walking nearly 100 miles a day, these people are completely desperate for their lives, and they are crying when they arrive.

They were so poor that they couldn't afford to pay for the city, and just as the soldiers at the gate were about to pay for their help, the beggar-like people opened their little pockets.

Cordyceps!

They actually brought cordyceps with them.

The entire Fanyang City suddenly became a sensation.

Countless merchants flocked here, followed by the stewards of the wealthy families, then the royal nobles of the Western Regions, and the Liaodong envoys who heard the news.

These people surrounded this group of beggar-like people, and their purpose was self-evident.

I want to buy all the cordyceps.

When King Zhao heard the news, he was furious, and even dispatched the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, and the Tang Emperor also sent Yu Linwei, but the result was still unable to disperse the crowd.

Because there were too many forces competing for the fairy grass, no one could suppress the opponent, and in the end, everyone reached an agreement to let this group of people entrust the Cordyceps to the trading center for auction.

Because there are so few treasures, you can only bid one by one!

The first cordyceps, two through!

The second cordyceps, five runs!

This group of people brought a total of eleven small bags, each pocket could only contain about 100 cordyceps, because the number was too small, and the last one in the auction was directly sold for a sky-high price of ten yuan.

On the delicate wooden plaque on the high wall of the wooden pavilion, the average current price of cordyceps grass has been as high as five times.

This group of people seemed to be extremely happy, and after selling the fairy grass, they did not make any stops, they rushed out of Fanyang City like crazy, threatening to dig up all the mountains and fields in their hometown.

In this process of threatening, all the wealthy families have been 'popularized' one thing, that is, the yield of fairy grass is extremely small, and if you are unlucky, you can only dig four or five roots in a whole mountain.

It is in line with the scarce identity of a treasure.

With such a small output, the wealthy families will definitely not be able to dig it themselves, and the same is true for the merchants, so they told the people to go back and mobilize more people to dig it, as long as they dig up the fairy grass and bring it to Fan Yang, they will buy one if there is one.

The group of people seemed to be loyal, and patted their chests again and again to assure that they would definitely come back again, and now the entire Jiannan Dao knows about this thing.

It is said that this news was sent back to his hometown by a businessman from Jiannan in three months.

Everyone thanked the businessman.

It was he who gave everyone the opportunity to buy fairy grass......

……

Another month has passed!

The people of Jiannan did not come back, and it was the merchant who came back.

This time, he dragged back the four big pockets of fairy grass with his horse, and said that the entire people of Jiannan had only dug so much.

Four big pockets sound scary, but the total number of fairy grasses loaded will not exceed 50,000, but how many people want cordyceps fairy grass? Nowadays, the whole world wants fairy grass.

This time, it sold a full 300,000 pieces.

In the days that followed, new businessmen continued to arrive in Fanyang, always bringing one or two bags of Cordyceps each time, and then selling them for a high price of more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan.

After each auction, the high wall of the wooden pavilion will adjust the current price of Cordyceps, and the price will go all the way up, and people will become more and more crazy.

In fact, these businessmen, including the group of ragged Jiannan people, and even the lucky little guy Ali Baba, are all tricks directed by Li Yun.

Cordyceps has been thoroughly hyped up and listed as the world's No. 1 health immortal product, in the process of this hype, Li Yun secretly continued to secretly ship, and he used dozens of catties of Cordyceps to harvest millions of dollars from wealthy families.

A few million is not a small number!

It is equivalent to two years of tax revenue from the Datang treasury.

But what is it selling? They sell weeds from the feed that used to be fed to horses.

……

The high wall of the wooden pavilion adjusts the price of cordyceps every day, and it still soars all the way to see no signs of slowing down.

As the influence grew, people slowly learned that in addition to Jiannan, there were Cordyceps, Tubo and Dianchi, and even Beihe Qianghai in the Western Regions also produced, but all the merchants said that the output was extremely low.

Although the origin of Cordyceps has been known, and some businessmen have even begun to participate in this business, Li Yun is not affected in the slightest, because the value of Cordyceps will never fall.

The concept of fairy grass has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Those people from wealthy families have to eat one every day, and such a consumption rate will send him money in a steady stream.

The main thing is that Li Yun verified his conjecture.

The current price of his wooden brand goods has the power to influence the price of any goods in the world.
