The big thing was gone, Zhou Zhe began to ask questions like a cannonball, and Lao Chen was also happy to ask Zhou Zhe. "Master, have the orcs entered the Kou this year? How is the Star City built? And how much the dragon spider has been raised? ”

"This year's entry can only be said to be a trip for nothing, and it is estimated that the old boy of Mengge will not have a good time this winter. Lao Chen had a rare smile.

"What kind of statement is this?" Zhou Zhe was curious.

Chen Yuanhou said with the meaning of teaching

"Because of Star City, it has been expanded in his leisure time for nearly a year, and now it has a small scale, I have ordered before, after the autumn farming, the villages of fifty miles near the mountains and mouths of Longquan Pass must enter the city, otherwise they will be punished according to the enemy. ”

"I see, they entered the autumn wind from the mountain pass, and their supplies were limited, even if they forcibly advanced the front, they would be discovered by the patrolling light horses, and if they forcibly went south, even if they reached Star City, they would no longer be able to go south. Zhou Zhe understood.

Lao Chen was satisfied, and added, "Another point, also inspired by you, in late autumn I sent all the light horses, 100 people as a unit, there are empty villages everywhere, and the game in late autumn is the most fat. ”

"Solid wall clearing. Zhou Zhe said subconsciously.

"That's right, most of the houses in the village are mud brick thatched houses now, and the orcs will light more roofs at most when they set fire and build them again in the next year, and the loss is acceptable. Almost all the wooden houses have been demolished and sent to Longquanguan to raise dragon spiders, and now the more difficult point in Longquanguan is wood, dragon spiders want wood, and they also need wood to cook in pots. Lao Chen seems to be worried about the future development of Longquanguan due to the lack of timber.

Zhou Zhe subconsciously wanted to say, use coal for the pot and cow dung, but the next moment, he was stunned, he wanted to control Tianyu Pavilion, just thinking about catching their pigtails, iron ore, Tianyu Pavilion has it, if you get the pricing power of coal, see what you use to make iron. What to use to make weapons and armor.

"Coal, burn coal. Zhou Zhe was a little nervously excited.

When Lao Chen heard it, it was a way, but looking at Zhou Zhe's appearance, he was angry, "Coal is coal, what kind of system is the god chattering." ”

Just do it, Zhou Zhe got up, "Master, I have something urgent, go out." ”

"Frizzy, go early and come back early. Lao Chen saw that this apprentice was leaving, so he could only wave his hand and say that he was mature! Sometimes he was so frizzy, and he was frizzy! He felt more and more that he couldn't understand this apprentice.

Zhou Zhe's frizziness is because Lao Chen opened a door for him, pricing power, if you want to weaken the world's sects, the pricing power of grain is indispensable. And to control Tianyu Pavilion, it must be controlled by the pricing power of coal, and when the time comes, on the price of coal, plus a bunch of pigtails, Tianyu Pavilion can only bow its head.

Out of Lao Chen's door, he went to Yang Jue as soon as possible, preparing to go to Neiwei to find the map of the distribution of coal mines in the world and the ownership of coal mines.

"Little junior brother, what do you want that thing for? It's the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month now, and you won't open until the fifteenth day of next year. Yang Jue was puzzled.

"It's useful. You are the commander, I am the deputy commander, let me in?" Zhou Zhe grinded softly.

"Not like you, help me block the wine tomorrow. Yang Juekai conditions.

Zhou Zhe readily agreed, "No problem, the hole room will help you block it." ”

"Refreshing! let Sui Da Yu take you directly to Shiliang Street, find the internal guard to engage in Wenhu, the side door is not sealed, there are guards inside, you just bring the waist card of the deputy commander." Yang Jue patted Zhou Zhe on the shoulder.

An hour later, Wen Hu searched for a long time in the huge copywriting library of the internal guard, found it, patted the dust on it, and handed it to Zhou Zhe.

"Deputy Commander Zhou, what do you want this thing for?"

Zhou Zhe looked at this person who had been busy for a long time, took out a thousand taels of silver from his arms and handed it over, "Brother Wen, let you be busy as the New Year approaches, these pictures are useful to me, please keep them a secret." ”

"Oh! I don't dare to ask for this! Deputy commander, I still understand the rules of our internal guard, just do it, don't say it. Wen Hu hurriedly pushed back the silver in Zhou Zhe's hand.

"Look down on your lord, tell you to take it, and I'll talk to the senior brother when I turn around. Zhou Zhe was unceremoniously stuffed into Wen Hu's hands.

The picture was obtained, when Zhou Zhe returned to the book of heaven, spread it on the table and looked at it, he almost died of anger, this picture is already one hundred and eighty years old, thanks to Wenhu can still find it, although the antique is an antique, but it still has a certain reference value.

After consulting for a long time, the ashes of the information were eaten countless times, and Zhou Zhe only figured out half of it, not considering other places, as far as the coal mines near Tianyu Pavilion were concerned, they were four large coal mines.

He instantly understood why Tianyu Pavilion had established a sect here back then, there were iron mines and coal mines nearby, and their sect, which was to build weapons and equipment as a way to make money, naturally chose Hexi Road as the most cost-effective. Four coal mines, one is the industry of Linjihou and the other is the industry of Dingtaobo,

One is the industry of Guanglinghou, and the other is state-owned, which is actually managed by the Yamen of the Ministry of Households.

After a hundred years, now the three old relatives are probably gone, and the children and grandchildren don't know if they have lost their ancestors' family business. It is estimated that the coal mine managed by the household department is also a dilapidated house, leaking air everywhere. If you really want to do it yourself, I'm afraid it will take some work.

However, Yang Jue's wedding tomorrow, Zhou Zhe thinks it is a God-given opportunity, I am afraid that he wants to have a good drink with that group of civil officials, and build a friendship first, and if there is a friendship, things will be much easier.

On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, Yang Jue and Li Jiuyang, the pair of the same family, finally came together. Etiquette is troublesome and troublesome, and it is simple to say that it is actually two people to make villains and notify everyone first.

On one side is the royal family, King Qi has become a send-off envoy, and all etiquette is in accordance with the etiquette of the princess to recruit horses, and finally in the princess's mansion. Next, it was another troublesome matter of going through the motions, and a group of people ran to Tianshumen again, after all, Li Jiuyang belonged to the disciples of Tianshu, and he worshiped under the name of Sun Guozhu, so he naturally came out of Li Jiuyang's boudoir in Tianshuge, saluted, and Jiao Dajun was the envoy.

Where to send it? His Majesty gave the Horse Mansion, Chen Yuanhou and Pan Yifeng as the master and mother, of course, thank the parents is to thank them, and finally everyone went to the princess's mansion for dinner.

A toss. Zhou Zhe felt that Yang Jue was the one who picked up a big bargain, the wedding, the father-in-law helped to handle it, the key was to marry a princess, and the more important thing was that Li Jiuyang was ten years younger than him, looking at Yang Jue standing at the door with him to greet the guests, Zhou Zhe asked curiously:

"Senior brother, senior sister is ten years younger than you, did you make up your mind ten years ago?"

Yuan Yuan was thoughtful, and Fang Fang also smiled and asked Yang Jue with the same curiosity

"Senior brother, is it true?"

"Don't talk nonsense, welcome!" Then the ghost made a god look around, and everything was silent. Zhou Zhe and the three laughed wildly, and Fang Fang was even more likely to do something. Ran to Yang Jue's side.

"Senior brother, do you want to learn to bark?"

Yang Jue asked: "What is the name of learning a cow?"

"Senior Brother Fang Fang is saying that the old cow eats tender grass?" Yuan Yuan successfully mended the knife, and Yang Jue vomited three liters of blood.

While chatting, he bowed down routinely to greet the guests, some of whom were dressed in scribe clothes, and their temperament may be that of the ministers of the court. Those who are dressed in fresh clothes and angry horses in gorgeous costumes should be honored and noble. There are also those who wear monk's uniforms, and they are naturally deacons or talkers of various sects. Zhou Zhe saw a lot of familiar faces that he had seen in the gladiatorial arena.

Bai Shanshui came, with his Four Sword Squires and the White Deacon of the Sword Sect. For a long period of etiquette, the singer did not read it one by one, but shouted according to the standard of a big gift and a generous gift, Sword Sect, and a generous gift will be brought in one stroke.

Bai Shanshui approached, Zhou Zhe bowed politely, Bai Shanshui did the same, and then handed the box in his hand to Yang Jue.

"You're married, I picked it, let's be lucky!"

"What did you send?" Yang Jue didn't open it directly, but asked first, otherwise, with Bai Shanshui's hobby, he would give you two swords, maybe he had good intentions, but the meaning of this sword is not good, seeing the light here is tantamount to smashing the field.

"See for yourself!" Then Bai Shanshui strode into the courtyard.

Zhou Zhe grabbed Bauhinia, who was walking at the end, and asked with a smile, "Sister Bauhinia, what good things did you give?"

"Good stuff also asked. Then he left the back of his head and went into the courtyard with the incense breeze. Zhou Zhe slandered, the four swordsmen must have grown up eating gunpowder.

Zhou Zhe took the box and opened it directly, a pair of extremely cute porcelain dolls. The reason why he dared to open it was because he believed in Bai Shanshui's character, if he really made trouble, you would be helpless to control a few cups and saucers to break during the banquet.

Yang Jue sighed with emotion: "The golden bottle is drunk together, and the white blade is not forgiven." After all, white landscape is white landscape. ”

"What a white blade is not a white blade, it is unlucky. Zhou Zhe handed the box back, "Lao Bai is really an outlier." It is estimated that his grandfather also has a headache for such a grandson. ”

"Lingxiao Pavilion comes with a generous gift. The chanter's voice drew everyone's attention back.

Ye Tianyi and Ye Ziyu have all arrived, as well as Deacon Ye Although. Ye Tian was dressed in a purple monk's robe, and he was wearing a fur coat outside, which was very extravagant. Ye Ziyu is also dressed in a gorgeous costume covered with a white fox fur, and unlike in the past, she wears jewelry on her head and light makeup. Zhou Zhe stabbed Yuan Yuan with his elbow.

"You kid has a good eye!"

"Ahem!" Yuan Yuan was a little embarrassed and coughed dryly.

"Brother Shi! This is a little bit of heart for me and my little sister, a set of jewelry. Ye Tianyi also handed a box to Yang Jue, smiling very brightly, Yang Jue made a salute, one by one.

Zhou Zhe winked at Ye Tian, "Brother Shi, your wedding with the county lord of Qi is also coming soon, right?"

"It's almost over!" Ye Tian smiled very brightly, a sword soaring to the sky, maybe this is his true self at this moment. Zhou Zhezuo asked for the same invitation and was sent to the hospital.

Cheng Luoluo also came, fortunately, he only brought a suspended three stars, otherwise it is estimated that eight seats at a table are not enough to sit. also accompanied a generous gift, and then was politely sent to the hospital by everyone, waiting for the main banquet to begin.

Yan Han and Gu Cheng came together, Yan Han's mustache and his new white fox fur were still elegant and handsome, which made Gu Cheng behind him a little obscene.

Bitter cold politely said, "Congratulations." Then he was invited into the courtyard, and Gu Cheng's actions seemed much more sincere.

Gu Cheng saw that Zhou Zhe was also smiling, so he was even more sincere, and walked in front of him and said, "Master Hou." "Sure enough, what has been cured is different.

Zhou Zhe, the person sent by the four major factions, was not surprised at all, but unexpectedly, Flying Sword Villa and Tianyu Pavilion also came, and the courtesy was not light.

Especially in Tianyu Pavilion, there were four people here, in addition to Huang Yin and Huang Yunyi, who Zhou Zhe had paid special attention to, there were also two young men around thirty years old, and their unsmiling appearance was not good at first glance.

"Senior brother, what is the identity of the two young people next to Huang Yin?" Zhou Zhe asked Yang Jue.

"You say these two people, the one on the left is called Zhang Xuanfeng, and the one on the right is called Zhang Yinfeng. Yang Jue introduced to Zhou Zhe after the people of Tianyu Pavilion went away, "He is a figure who has been famous for a long time, but Tianyu Pavilion has always been low-key. I've fought with these two, a good sword and shield player who integrates offense and defense, and a fight with the four sword attendants. You've been checking the information about Tianyu Pavilion, what are your plans?"

Zhou Zhe smiled: "Senior brother knows, and he asked me." Did the Flying Sword Villa give such a heavy gift just now?"

Yang Jue also smiled, "It's for me, but it's not easy to do." ”

Zhou Zhe smiled and asked, "The commander of the internal guard, the strongest of the younger generation of my Tianshumen, and what is difficult for you to do?"

Yang Jue looked at Zhou Zhecai for a long time and said: "It's not your bucket basket yet, and in the end you left it alone, and now you still come to tease me?" You also know that I am a senior brother, I know everything about the private room of Baishan Water last time, Bai Shanshui has been defeated, and I, the strongest person of the younger generation of Tianshu, have given you the honorific title." ”

Zhou Zhe laughed, "That's the matter, I made a start, how do I know that in the end, the Flying Sword Villa was sold, they won't want to surrender and lose half, right?"

"Surrender and lose half, junior brother, you are really funny! Flying Sword Villa is such a first-class sect, not so much!" Fang Fang said with a smile.

Yang Jue sighed, "Little junior brother, I really let you guess correctly, the Flying Sword Villa really wants to surrender." It's just that we're talking about the conditions now, are you interested?" Yang Jueluo looked at Zhou Zhe with interest.

Zhou Zhe's mind turned, and he smiled evilly, "Senior brother, what do they want?"

Yang Jue looked defeated by you, "You can't wipe your own butt clean, the last time the Flying Sword Villa was sold clean, you should contact them." Now they are about to start a war with Qiankun Gate, the mountain gate is so close, it is estimated that they are already in a hurry, and they want to choose a territory in the north to rebuild the mountain gate. ”

Zhou Zhe was laughed at angrily, Beiyuan chose a place to reopen the mountain gate, why don't you go to heaven? Lao Chen wants to make the cultivator in Beiyuan dare to write his name upside down. Then he teased

"It is estimated that the Flying Sword Villa didn't wake up when I talked to you, and I didn't know how to put on a correct posture when I surrendered. Leave it to me, brother, and I'll talk to them later. ”

Yang Jue saw that Zhou Zhe was going to take over, and became serious, "This is not a joke, do you really want to take it?"

"Pick it up, leave you more time, hurry up and make a little Yang Jue out. "Zhou Zhe simply interfaced, where to find such a good thing.

"Gollum!" Yuan Yuan's stomach screamed, and then he was a little embarrassed, Fang Fang was also tired and hungry, "Senior brother, it's almost auspicious time, right? ”

Yang Jue looked at the shadow at the base of the wall and comforted, "It's almost there." The brothers have also worked hard today. ”

"Hey, in fact, it's just tossing back and forth to get tired, it's the princess's mansion worship hall, and it's the master's worship hall, which Wang Ba calf came up with the etiquette. Zhou Zhe ran back and forth, and was also tossed for a morning, and complained at this time.

"It's me!" a middle-aged scribe arrived at the door of the princess's mansion with a serious face, followed by a small servant holding a box.

Yang Jue heard this, and hurriedly turned his head, "Master Fan, I didn't expect you to come in person." My little junior brother is open-mouthed, and he still looks at Haihan. After speaking, he immediately turned his head and gave Zhou Zhe a look.

Master Fan! Zhou Zheyi's head is black, apart from Fan Wenliang, the head of civil officials, who else can be worthy of Yang Jue's voice?

At this moment, he bowed his head, slammed it to the ground, and hurriedly apologized, "The boy has no form!" ”

"I can't afford it. Fan Wenliang's voice was obviously angry, "If it weren't for the princess's wedding today, I would have participated in your presumptuous discussion of etiquette." The princess's house is loyal, and the teacher's house is filial piety. What do you think? If you don't learn, you can't do anything!" Fan Wenliang directly reprimanded, Zhou Zhe was speechless, the head of Wenchen was really an extraordinary troll, but he had to be convinced, what people said made sense.

"Fan Gong is angry, Fan Gong is angry. This little apprentice of mine is a soldier and a man, so how can he know any etiquette! He is a knife in His Majesty's hand, and if he is told to go up to the Spirit Medium Mountain, he will go to the Spirit Medium Mountain, and tell him to bury a pit for whoever he wants. Why don't you drink two glasses of Fan Gong today?" Chen Yuanhou arrived, and his words made Fan Wenliang's anger even worse.

Fan Wenliang was also not easy to provoke, and his anger came up and he specially revealed the scar, "According to your meaning, you are in good health?"

Zhou Zhe can be regarded as having seen the power of Yiwen and Wuwu, which is unexpected, how can the usually gentle and elegant master get into trouble with this Fan Wenliang, and there is an endless trend. But if you think about it carefully, it's not surprising, wasn't it Fan Wenliang who forced Dasheng to sign the alliance under the city back then? But the phrase "Are you well?" really hit the nail on the head.

"Yo! I said Fan Gong, you are so majestic, I haven't seen you for a few years, the girl from Chunfeng Building, are you okay?" As soon as Pan Yifeng, who was following behind Chen Yuanhou, finished speaking, Zhou Zhe almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

Not going to the brothel has become a proof of poor health, this logic, master!

Seeing that Fan Wenliang was on the verge of breaking out, two people walked in outside the door, it was Jiao Dajun who picked up Lu Yibiao, Jiao Dajun patted Fan Wenliang's shoulder with his big hand, and winked at everyone with small eyes, "I said Lao Fan, when you see the disabled, you are still blocking the road, and do you still have love." Then he paused, and raised a finger, "Oh! ”

"Come on, Jiao Dajun. He bullied honest people. Lu Yibiao was on crutches and hunched over.

Fan Wenliang was helpless and gave up, and then helped Lu Yibiao into the courtyard.
