Xu Wen and Lin Jing left the Purple Qi Pavilion and said some small words, feeling that they were still a little interested in the Luofu faction, so they were preparing to go to Luofu Mountain to have a look. Judging from the news that Xu Wen knows, almost half of the area of Luofu Mountain is open to the outside world, and mortals come and go from time to time.

The two walked to Luofu Mountain, eating and drinking all the way for a day, and went up the mountain to play the next morning.

After passing a normal mountain gate, Xu Wen refreshed his opinion of Luofu Mountain.

The Luofu sect built many houses on this mountain, far exceeding the needs of the disciples for accommodation.

However, after seeing that an abnormal spell fluctuation suddenly came out of a nearby wooden house, and then there was a roar, and the house collapsed, and several disciples ran out in embarrassment, the two of them were also relieved.

Xu Wen could still vaguely hear something like 'Mana Stability Prohibition Needs to be Improved', 'There is a problem with the Resonator again' and so on.

Regardless of this, the two continued to walk towards the mountain, and on the way, they found a mortal couple discussing things with a disciple in green clothes.

Xu Wen knew that the outer disciples of the Luofu Sect could only wear black and white clothes, while the inner disciples could only wear purple, and the Luofu Sect did not set up true disciples, and purple was the color of the clothes of the elders of the sect.

"Daochang Liu, look, how about fifty taels, it can't be more. Just to prevent sudden rainfall, it shouldn't take a hundred taels or so much. The middle-aged and elderly man in cotton clothes discussed.

"Uncle Wang, one hundred taels is really the real price. Is the matter of Sanliang Town a simple prevention of rainfall? Your agreement says that if there is a rainy day that is not conducive to the growth of grain in Sanliang Town, it should be dispersed or adjusted. It also requires that the natural growth of grain at the end of the agreement and the same period last year be maintained within a certain range.

Do you know how many people we need to dispatch for this, let alone a senior brother who is proficient in cloud and rain spells, the grain production area of your Sanliang Town is so large, it must be two of them.

Then there is also a need for a senior brother who knows a lot about food growth, and finally, according to the usual practice, there will be at least two senior brothers, and if there is indeed unfavorable weather, the number of senior brothers will be increased to four.

And according to the meteorological forecast recently released by our Luofu Mountain, it is almost certain that heavy rainfall will occur in your Sanliang Town. Seven senior brothers, plus me as the leader, a total of eight people share a hundred taels of silver, not too much. That Liu Daochang danced for a long time, and he spat and spitted everywhere, every time he said a word, the couple laughed, and they didn't nod their heads.

"That'...... Eighty taels, no, eighty-eight taels. The number is also auspicious, and it also exceeds the market price of each Taoist leader's minimum ten taels of silver at a time. Uncle Wang said apologetically.

"Ninety taels, let's make up a whole number, we monks don't pay attention to anything auspicious or unlucky." This Tsing Yi Taoist priest worked hard to fight for every penny, and Lin Jing laughed a little when he saw it.

"Xiao Liu, you can't count it like that. How can you say that you and our Sanliang Town also have an incense relationship. This time I came to you is another big project, and we will be responsible for your food and lodging during this period, which will cost money.

Xiao Liu, you don't know, last year, we had a bumper harvest in Sanliang Town, and the damn grain merchant lowered the price again. Combined with the year's expenses, we don't have much money. When the lady said this, she raised her sleeves, wiped them straight to the corners of her eyes, quietly glanced at Liu Daochang, and pretended to cry.

"Okay, okay, eighty-eight taels. But well, there should be meat at every meal. Aunt Wang, you are really getting more and more picky. Responsible for food and housing is the rule, and we will not know the price of grain last year, obviously only a hundred catties have dropped by two cents, which is within the normal range of grain price fluctuations. Don't think that the government and us are eating idle meals......" Liu Daochang talked again, while Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang kept laughing.

After a long time, Liu Daochang led Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang to a house in front of him with a green flag decorated with rice ears.

Xu Wen also followed, and when Liu Daochang entered the bamboo house, Xu Wen and Lin Jing also arrived at the door. The door of the bamboo house was not closed, the two of them were watching outside, Liu Daochang glanced back, and did not say anything.

"Brother Liu, you're back. This wind plate is broken again, and we have preliminarily determined that it is a ban problem, so you can fix it quickly. A woman in red said, holding a device larger than a fan.

This wind plate Xu Wen knows, at the foot of Luofu Mountain, I have seen it, the wind disk generally has a hollow cover, and inside it are several pieces of wood with an inclination. When the ban is opened, the wood chips will turn and a cool breeze will blow.

"Okay, okay, I'll fix it right away. Damn Li Chunliang, give me bad goods again. Xiuxiu, you take Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang to sign an agreement, and finally negotiated eighty-eight taels of silver. Liu Daochang wiped his sweat and began to disassemble the wind plate.

"Brother Liu, I said earlier that we should have spent more money to get a better house ban, at least the kind with temperature control, you see now, how aggrieved." Another slightly chubby man in black smiled and said, "I won't give you a hand, I'll receive two Taoist friends at the next door." ”

Saying that, the man in black said to Xu Wen and Lin Jing: "I have seen two Taoist friends, the contemptible Guo Jie, you can call me Xiao Guo." I don't know why the two of you came to my natural residence? ”

"It was the first time we came to Luofu Mountain to play, and we were a little curious to see the scene of the business discussion, so we came to have a look." Xu asked.

"In this way, in fact, this is not uncommon in our Luofu Mountain, come in and do it, I'll tell you about it." Guo Jie made a gesture of please.

So Xu Wen and Lin Jing entered this natural residence, there was actually some heat in this bamboo house, Xu Wen didn't care, it was just Lin Jing who added a layer of protection. The three of them sat down, and Guo Jie continued: "We in Luofu Mountain actually have a lot of work to cooperate with ordinary people, mainly to earn some silver. After all, life is not easy. ”

"You will still be short of silver, I remember that cultivators should not have much to do with money." Lin Jing asked with some curiosity.

"That's different, all of us in the Luofu faction are short of silver, it costs silver to buy materials, it costs silver to buy prohibitions, and it costs the most money to buy materials. No amount is enough.

You are like this, we guarantee the grain production for Sanliang Town, and they give us silver. We will use the silver to improve the magic weapons, perfect the prohibitions and spells, and then continue to live. Therefore there is always a shortage of silver. Guo Jie said.

"Then don't you cultivate the Tao and don't seek immortality?" Lin Jing continued to ask.

"Cultivation is definitely cultivated, but immortality is not much hope, immortality is too difficult. We Luofu faction have never come out of the Yuan Shen master, and if we ask for immortality, we will not come to our Luofu Mountain. Guo Jie continued with a slight sigh:

"Actually, I think it's good to be like this now, isn't it good to use the Tao to help everyone, improve everyone's life, and make everyone live more freely. I heard that immortality only lives for hundreds of thousands of years, if we can let ordinary people enjoy the carefree and disaster-free life of the Yuanshen monks, wouldn't that be equivalent to bringing a hundred years of immortality to countless people, and no matter how many immortal monks there are, we can't do it. Guo Jie said with a smile.

"You say this house, for example. Just now I also mentioned the house ban, and this house ban is divided into several levels.

The second is only one function, which can strengthen the bamboo house into the strength of bricks, the bricks into stone houses, and the stone houses into iron houses. Don't believe it, we've made iron houses, but we're not used to it.

Think about it, a simple bamboo house, with the most basic prohibitions, can become as unafraid of wind and rain as a blue brick house, how interesting it is.

Better house bans can also provide functions such as temperature regulation, early warning, and spirit gathering, and that kind of high-level prohibition is simply a man-made cave, which is amazing. If we are a natural house prohibition, it will have the function of temperature regulation, warm in winter and cool in summer, I don't know how comfortable it is.

However, we are not very good at this kind of prohibition, and we don't have time to learn it at the moment, and now is the time when the farm is busy, and we are busy. ”

"Brother Liu, I've negotiated with Uncle Wang, and I'll give you the agreement later." Xiuxiu and Uncle Wang live from nature? came out, Wang Bo and Xiuxiu still had a few pieces of paper in their hands, which should be the agreement they mentioned.

Waiting for Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang to be sent away, Daoist Liu hurriedly asked, "Is there a limit to the number of people?" ”

"No, but we have to make sure that the final growth is not worse than last year, otherwise we will have to find money." Xiuxiu shook her head and said.

"That's good." When Daoist Liu heard this conclusion, he continued to repair the wind plate.

"What, how many people do you want to go?" Xu asked.

"Well, if you really go by the standard, the money is too small. At most, we will talk about a dozen taels and invite a senior brother. Guo Jie sneered: "It's not that we don't want to come according to the standard, it's just that there is really little money like this." Recently, many of our inner disciples have been preparing to submit their opinions to the sect and raise the minimum salary to fifteen taels. ”

"I just heard Aunt Wang and Senior Brother Liu talk about incense, and it's already October, and the New Year will be in two months, how can there be farm work to do, listen to Fang Cai's conversation, it's not a harvest." Xu asked.

"Oh, that's actually a problem. The reason why Sanliang Town is called Sanliang Town is because this town is the first town we have achieved three crops a year. There is a season from October to February next year, a season from February to June, and a season from June to October, so it is called Sanliang Town.

At the beginning, the plan of three crops of grain was made by Elder Yuan with us, so Aunt Wang said that there was some incense. Guo Jie explained.

He knew that the water and heat in the Jiangnan area were sufficient, but most of them were also two crops a year, like the Tongtian River where Xu Wen was located, there was only one crop, and it didn't grow very well.

I didn't expect this Luofu Mountain to be able to make some areas three ripe, Xu Wen didn't have to think about it to know that this was definitely not suitable for every region, but just this is also terrifying, this is not something that can be done by asking Taoist priests all the time, at least there must be a complete set of plans.

Xu Wen stayed in Luofu Mountain for a long time, and listened to a lot of interesting plans and prohibitions, such as a unified magic circle for animal deworming, or a method of making better wine, or a ban on copying and copying books, etc. It's an eye-opener.

It's just that Xu Wen and Lin Jing didn't rest on Luofu Mountain, and left at night, after all, they were Taoist priests sent abroad, and they had no affection, so they were embarrassed to stay.
