Chapter 3 The rich are invincible to the monarch of the country
Shi Zhiyi was also shocked by these two golden mountains, and said in his heart that if these two mountains were taken to Kyoto, I was afraid that the Hubu Shangshu, who was in charge of the national treasury, would faint alive.
The gray-black stone platform next to Jinshan will naturally not be a real stone platform, but is made of gray-black, stone-like and iron-like square boxes neatly placed together. Each box was about six feet square, and on the upward side was carved a lion's head antlers, a strange creature clad in dragon scales, roaring at a full moon in the corner of the box.
"Moon Dragoon!"
Shi Zhiyi had served in the Moon Riding Dragonrider, so he recognized the creature engraved on this box at a glance, it was the Howling Moon Dragon Horse, the mount of the most elite and powerful Moon Dragonrider among the six guards and one horse in Yunqi City!
There is no doubt that the box contains a full set of standard equipment including a halberd, a sword, a helmet, a battle armor, a close-fitting soft armor, a saddle, a storm repeater, a longbow, a feather arrow, and a dagger!
Each set of equipment is made of the essence of Xuantie, with a total weight of more than one hundred and fifty catties, and this weight can only be easily carried by the Howling Moon Dragon Horse with the blood of the ancient dragon, and can also complete combat actions such as long-distance running and full-speed sprinting!
Every pound of the essence of the dark iron is extracted from the five hundred catties of crude iron embryo, and the value of the essence of the dark iron is similar to that of the same weight of gold, and the value of this set of equipment can be imagined!
However, compared to the rarity and price of gold, the value of the essence of the dark iron is more reflected in his toughness, sharpness, elasticity, fatigue resistance, hardness and other excellent metal properties.
When he was in the Swinging Moon Dragoon before, Shi Zhiyi also had a full set of standard equipment, but as he left the Swinging Moon Dragoon to join Long Zhangwei, all the equipment belonging to the Swinging Moon Dragoon was handed back, and it can also be seen from this aspect that the Swinging Moon Dragoon's strict management of equipment and the value of this set of equipment.
This "stone platform" is a hundred boxes in length and width, and there are as many as 10,000 sets in total!
And now the establishment of the Moon Swinging Dragon Rider in Yunqi City is only 5,000 people!
Before he could recover from the shock brought by these two golden mountains and this "stone platform", the slightest imperceptible fluctuation came, making Shi Zhiyi's mind attracted by a certain direction in the void. It turned out to be a hidden space, which was divided into more than 100 squares.
In a grid in the upper left corner, there is a blade frame made of black jade, on which a sword with a pale blue scabbard lies quietly. In a lattice next to it, there is a fiery red brocade box, and in the middle is placed a token of ancient style, made of copper and wood, and carved on it with mysterious textures.
With a move in his mind, these two items had already come to Shi Zhiyi's hands, he first played with the token, the whole token was in the shape of a phoenix fir leaf, and it was extremely hard to start, but he still didn't see what material it was made of. After weighing the weight, Shi Zhiyi took back the token, and then pulled out the Qingshao Sword.
Unlike what he had expected, there was no sound of a sword groaning, and what appeared in front of him was a dull, dull gray sword, which looked so smooth that one almost wondered if it had been made by some of the village's blacksmith apprentices.
Shi Zhiyi waved his hand casually, and a gluttonous giant beast made of purple copper placed on one side of the hall was actually cut off by him silently! Half of the copper gluttony fell from the case and smashed on the ground of Yuncui Xiuyu, stirring up a foggy white formation, and disappeared in a flash. Looking at the smooth section of the remaining half of the gluttonous statue, Shi Zhiyi couldn't help but stick out his tongue, turned to his father and said, "Thank you, Dad."
"In addition to sharpness, Qingshao also has a lot of magic, in the future, when you cultivate up, you will slowly explore it yourself. ”
"Qingshao is my Shi family's ancestral sword, which was forged by the ancestors after decades of hard work, and I have rarely used it in recent years, but there are many people in Kyoto who know this sword, which may evoke some unpleasant memories, if you use it, you must be mentally prepared." ”
"Usually when fighting with people, if it is not a situation of life and death, do not always rely on the advantage of the sword, you understand these truths, I will not be verbose. ”
Raising his eyebrows at his father to show that he knew, Shi Zhiyi put away his sword and locked his mind in the lattice behind the bronze ring space.
In the five grids behind the city lord's order, there are nearly a hundred jade bottles densely packed, embedded in five pedestals made of whole purple yang jade, and the base of each jade bottle is engraved with the names of various different pills.
Among them, the lowest level was the saint-grade first-grade pill Bixiao Peiyuan Pill that he was most familiar with and he didn't know how many he had eaten in the past ten years, while the highest level was a bottle of the Saint-level Seven-Rank Nine-Color Replenishing Heaven Pill and a bottle of the Saint-level Seven-Rank Prosperous Reflection Star Pill.
Looking further back, there are some raw materials for alchemy, such as the Seven-Star Dragon Soul Fruit, Heavenly Spirit Ginseng, Ten Thousand Year Xuan Tortoise Shell, etc., and there is even a bottle of Divine Dragon Essence Blood!
In the second layer of lattice, there are more than 100 pieces of blades and armor, which are extraordinary at a glance. But the treatment of these blades and armor is not as good as Qing Shao's, but they are placed in different categories and scattered in a grid.
The third and fourth floors, with a total of more than 20 lattices, are all piled up with pieces of neatly cut purple jade, exuding a bright purple halo in the dark environment of the copper ring space.
For tens of thousands of years, both humans and demons, the currency used was gold and silver. At present, the official ratio of gold and silver in the Great Jin Dynasty is 1:30, but the imperial court only exchanges silver for gold from the people at this ratio, but never exchanges gold for silver. The gold and silver exchange ratio of private money and pawnshops is generally 1:35, and sometimes it can even reach 1:378.
Ordinary well-off people, a family of five or six only needs ten taels of silver a month, so they generally do not come into contact with or need to exchange for gold. For some wealthy merchants, gold is not only convenient to store and carry, but also more valuable than silver, so whether it is family wealth inheritance or large business transactions, gold is usually used.
However, above the wealthy gentry and merchants, whether it is the royal family, or those families and sects that have been inherited for thousands of years, although the wealth they have is not as exaggerated as the two gold mountains in the wasteland, most of them can reach the value of one million taels of gold.
Some of the items traded between them, such as divine weapons or saint-grade elixirs, were often worth more than 10,000 taels of gold, and in this case, even expensive gold was difficult to carry, and at this time, they used Ziyang jade.
In terms of appearance, Ziyang jade is similar to mutton fat white jade, Xiuyu and other jade species, both of which are warm and crystalline, lustrous and connotative. However, the purple yang jade contains extremely strong energy, which can be used for the cultivation of martial artists in the realm above the sainthood, which can not only be easily transformed into true yuan, but also can play a miraculous effect of warming the meridians and stabilizing the divine thoughts.
However, although the world is large, the Ziyang jade vein is a divine object that can be encountered but not sought, and often appears in the marrow of the deep mountains, thousands of miles of sea caves and other desperate places that are difficult for ordinary people to reach.
Therefore, its value is more than a thousand times higher than gold, and a piece the size of a seven or eight-year-old child's fist is worth 10,000 taels of gold, but the number of purple yang jade in Shi Zhiyi's copper ring space is more than 10,000 pieces!
The purple yang jade placed in these more than 20 grids is probably far inferior to the treasures of the imperial family and many families in Kyoto combined, but I don't know where the Shi family got it.
And these purple yang jades, together with many saint-level elixirs, genius earth treasures, divine weapons, and those two golden mountains, were called "miscellaneous things" by Shi Huaichuan.
