Chapter 121: Heavy Treasures from the Earth
Jidan Kankai was one of the most densely populated Sakai in the empire, and apart from the places where people lived, almost all kinds of farmland were used, and it was difficult to see wasteland. Located in the plain, the river is vertical and horizontal, and the precipitation is abundant and even, when it comes to natural disasters, the first thing that comes to mind must be waterlogging.
During the rainy season two months ago, several rivers that ran through Jidan Kankai naturally flooded again, and this time the flooding was not too severe, except for the destruction of some dams, which hindered the movement of the imperial capital to the western theater of operations, and did not seem to have much impact on the inhabitants of Sakai.
But when the water receded, someone realized, why did something emerge from the mud?
The discoverer, a grain merchant, didn't know what the metallic sheen was, but he had a gut feeling that it wasn't going to be easy, so he tried to dig it up and take it home. However, after digging for a long time, the exposed part of the thing became larger and larger, but it still did not move, and it seemed that there was a larger part hidden in the ground.
This grain merchant was not a greedy man, on the contrary, he was very sensible, he knew very well that he was a stranger who wanted to dig up a large thing that seemed to be worth a lot here, and this possibility was almost non-existent, so he planned to break this thing and take it away, and earn back a little more money.
However, just as he was about to make a move, the nearby farmers finally arrived, and they chased and beat them without saying a word, and the grain merchant vowed never to set foot in Jidan Kankai to collect grain again.
The peasants drove away the grain merchants, although they were not smart, and they could not read and write, but they really did not lack the wisdom to survive, and they did not try to dig this thing out, but directly knocked it, and everyone took a piece and left. However, until the men who rang the order arrived, they didn't knock it down except the debris.
He ordered the peasants to be driven away, but he did not take over and continue to dig or beat, after all, he was an imperial official and had his own rules for doing things. He asked the Doctor to identify the thing, and as he expected, it really had a lot of origin.
This metal substance, which is known as the official name of the gods, is also known as the plaything of the gods, because it always comes at high speed like a fireball in the zenith, smashing a large hole in the ground, and everyone says that the gods accidentally threw it down during the game.
In fact, there are many kinds of δΈΈ Jun, to put it in detail, the difference is quite big, but for most people, if it is not for the collection to show, it is actually useless.
It looks very suitable for weapon armor, but it is very heavy, very heavy, several times heavier than pig iron of the same size, and it is difficult to melt and cast it, so the weapons cast with it have not been handed down, let alone armor. However, there have been kings in history who used the Pijun to break down a door to protect their bedroom, but ironically, the king was later assassinated and died in his dormitory, not that the Pijun Gate was unreliable, the Pijun Gate was intact and was not damaged at all, because the Assassins broke the wall to enter......
That's a stretch of the road, but for the vast majority of people, this thing has little value except for a rarity.
However, there are still some people in this world who are not the vast majority, who are eager for this thing, but they have a lot of spending power.
These people are mages.
For the mage, not to mention compared with money, even if it is a magic crystal, the value of the bean is much higher - one is grown underground, one is dropped from the zenith, one is a fast-moving consumer goods, and the other is a durable good.
There are two main uses of the magic circle, one is the material of the magic circle, and the other is the addition of the magic weapon. When used as the former, it has the advantage of being replaceable, and when certain circle materials are missing, it can be used as a substitute, which is incomparable to any other material. When used as the latter, it increases the capacity of the artifact to store and collect mana, which is equivalent to increasing the upper limit of the power that the artifact can use.
The goods are sold to the family, and it is worthless to sell this to others, but if it is a mage, a person with a large head can sell it for a thousand polin silver, even if it is cheap. This is still a price that is only possible when there is no competition.
And now this Pi Jun, just the part exposed to the ground has the size of hundreds of human heads, such a big Pi Jun fell, actually did not go into the history books, Bo Bachelor believes that this super giant Ju Jun should have fallen in the local area in ancient times, the mountains and rivers became easy to bury it, and after the river of I don't know how many years old, it was allowed to see the light of day.
Yuan Ling didn't have the heart to listen to this nonsense, what he cared about was, what should I do with this thing?
The land where Tong Jun is located belongs to Hajisiyuan, and it is often flooded here when it is flooded, and no one will want this kind of land, so it has always been regarded as a wasteland. But now that such a thing has appeared, the wasteland has naturally become a treasure land. It is estimated that within two days, a large number of people will come to him to buy this land.
The land purchase and sale of the Great Bogar Empire is actually the right to use and dispose of, as for the ownership, it will always belong to the Emperor Chalin, and the local officials, who are ordered by the emperor to govern a place, of course have the right to decide on the sale and purchase of land under their rule, and the imperial court has long stipulated that this purchase and sale decision must be determined by the local government, even if it is Sakaishou, it cannot directly interfere in the purchase and sale of the estate, which naturally the imperial court has been strictly enforced for many years in order to limit the means of the power of the local Sakai ministers. Therefore, although the value of this land has skyrocketed by tens of millions of times all of a sudden, even if this transaction order is said, there is no need to worry about Shangguan interfering.
In less than two days, the nobles around Ha and Si Yuan began to come to the door, they naturally wanted to buy this land, if they wanted to say it, they also wanted it, but the imperial officials were never allowed to buy and sell the land under their own jurisdiction, although the violators may not be ruined and imprisoned, but the probability of dismissal and dismissal is very high. So he can only sell this land to others with a little unwillingness - only a little unwillingly, with a petty official like him, even if others don't fight, selling his family ten times is not enough to buy this land.
Yes, this property will be amazing, so if you want to get this land, the threshold is definitely very high.
For those nobles who came to see first, the order only heard a family name and avoided it, although he was a small official, his eyesight was not bad, like this, the key to grabbing it was not sooner or later, but strength. I can sell these little families to you, but do you think you can keep them after you buy them? I didn't sell you, but I actually kept your family, believe it or not, those big families can put you in charge of the whole family, let you get rid of the noble name, and then force you to sell this land cheaply?
This truth is not difficult, nor is it a secret, he can see it, and he believes that others also know it, but in the face of huge interests, many people can't compete with their greed and luck.
On the third day, the middleweights started to play, but the order was still missing.
On the fourth day, the heavyweight player came to the door, and this time he saw the order, he didn't want to offend the local tycoon because of this big beggar that did not belong to him, but he only met and did not agree to the other party's business request. Even because the other party felt too good about himself and said too "clearly", he had to also "understand" the other party - you think that you are not ambiguous, so you think you can walk sideways around Hajisiyuan?
On the fifth day, the Gaotanambaf family and the Gulim family came, and they only came two, but the order understood that the rules of these veteran nobles who had been in favor for nearly a hundred years were definitely not comparable to those pretentious nobles in front of them. Behind these two families, it is not just the power of one family that stands, after all, the value of this big bean is too tempting, unless there are a very few top elites in the imperial court, no one can swallow it alone.
Outsiders didn't know what kind of cards the two families brought to negotiate the deal with the ring. However, the decree has already announced that two days later, on the 19th day of the month of the Death Month, the Great Temple of the Death God will be held to decide who will receive the right to use and dispose of the land.
In the vicinity of Haji Siyuan alone, there are at least 10,000 people who are concerned about the ownership of this treasure land, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there is no one in a hundred who can directly benefit from this transaction, but they can still make money from it.
Gambling, of course.
For decades, there has never been a more concerned event than the present, and it is not a gamble at this time, but when to wait.
The owner of this tavern is one of the biggest dealers in the game, and although it is not yet the time for the craziest bets, it is said that the owner has already received tens of thousands of polin silver.
That's why the bartender would take an expensive bottle of South Vercasa Champ Gin to play arrogantly β for the unknown that could reveal the outcome of the gamble, the dealer must be clear. No matter how expensive a bottle of new wine from the South Vercasa Winery is gin, it can't be compared to tens of thousands of bets, and you don't know how many bottles you can buy if you only take that one percent.
Could a Green-Collar Mage from the Department of Justice reveal the outcome of the gamble? Wouldn't the expectations be too high?
Everyone knows that the ultimate buyers and users of these bereavements are all mages, and where else in the world of Ploz can there be more mages than the legal department? Except for those who are purely betting on the fun, those who have a little expectation of this gambling game will do even the simplest analysis, and everyone's conclusion is surprisingly unanimous: whoever can negotiate with the legal department first between these two companies will win.
However, after waiting for many days, neither of them released the slightest rumor, and the reason why many people have not placed bets is because the situation is not easy to judge - there are still two days, what if I just placed a bet, and the other side announced that it had negotiated with the legal department?
Therefore, the arrival of Ao Zongheng at this time has long been seen by countless people with intentions, but most people don't have the courage to take the initiative to ask a master of the legal management department. And the bartender dared to ask, in addition to a bottle of famous wine, he also saw the hearts of the people - when drinking, men are always a little easier to talk.
When the bartender finished speaking, Ao Zongheng had already eaten three bottles of wine, he had to leave, it was not because of the strength of the wine, it was really such a thing that could not be laughed at, what other way did he have besides leaving early.
What is it, what is the gambling game, he is not interested at all, hurry back to sleep, and leave early tomorrow morning.
It's just that this night, there will be a lot of people with him, not sleeping.
