Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoBut to maintain the position of the superior, there must be a price, and there are few things in this world that are not earned.

A month later, Ding Peng's idle days came to an end, because Loulan had finally mined high-quality jade.

The jade mine that the prime minister sold to the Xingzhu faction at a "low price" in the official name at that time was not only of large reserves, but also of very good quality, Ding Peng asked Hu Yanping to be responsible for the exploration and exploitation of the mine, and after more than three months of hard work, stable production finally began.

Hu Yanping passed the book and reported the situation to Ding Peng in detail. This jade mine named by Ding Peng as a dry mine, the current output is about 25,000 catties of rough stone per month, because of the good quality, most of the rough stone can be sold in the form of jade as long as it is simply processed and carved, converted into silver, about 5000-10000 taels of silver, the reason for the large fluctuation is mainly that jade is this kind of thing, to win by quality, the same volume, a better jade may be several times the price of ordinary jade.

However, this is the theoretical value of Hu Yanping's calculation, in fact, if you really want to sell in large quantities, you must also consider the market's affordability and the shortage of silver, in fact, in the Western Regions in this era, gold is more abundant than silver.

After Ding Peng thought about it, he replied to Hu Yanping. For him, jade or gold and silver, in fact, are the same, they have to be exchanged for contribution points to the system, so the same value, naturally how convenient it is, if you can get the maximum benefit, this is the focus of consideration, so he asked Hu Yan to divide into three steps.

The first step is to mine the extremely good quality jade, which can be transported directly to the sect. This kind of priceless jade is not easy to estimate the price, if you are in a hurry to sell, you will definitely not be able to sell the real value, it is better to transport it back for yourself to absorb directly, so as to maximize the benefits.

In the second step, most of the output can be directly sold in Loulan and converted into smaller gold and silver, so that it is more convenient to transport it back to the sect, and the price at the time of sale can refer to the change in the exchange ratio of gold and silver in the market.

The third step is to expand production capacity and slowly carry out deep processing. With the output can be efficient, the current output is more than 20,000 catties of rough in January, if the output is doubled, although the expenditure in all aspects will increase a lot, but Ding Peng finally got more contribution points, at this stage Ding Peng does not consider the problem of exhausting the fish, anyway, as long as his strength continues to improve, the resources that can be occupied in the future are. At the same time, Ding Peng suggested that Hu Yanping carry out deep processing of some particularly good quality jade, for example, a piece of jade can only be sold for one tael of silver without carving, and after simple processing, it may be sold for 5 taels or 10 taels. Undoubtedly, such a way can bring Ding Peng greater benefits, so he asked Hu Yanping to look for skilled craftsmen and open up a new way of wealth.

In his reply to Hu Yanping, Ding Peng also mentioned a problem, that is, the issue of carrier pigeons. Last time, Hu Yanping and others were forced by Diancang Shuangsha to urgently ask the sect for help, and three carrier pigeons were released in succession, but in the end, only one pigeon successfully flew to the Qianhu Basin. This time, according to Hu Yanping's letter, he released two carrier pigeons, and only one flew in the end, which shows that this primitive long-distance communication method still has defects and risks, if the matter is not urgent, even if one of the two is missed, it does not matter, but if the matter is important, the carrier pigeon can not fly or can not fly in time, this will be a big mistake.

Ding Peng is already considering choosing a more appropriate way of communication, such as cultivating birds with better road recognition and better endurance, but at present, the only way to solve this problem and prevent major omissions is to increase the number of carrier pigeons.

Half a month later, Hu Yanping returned to the Qianhu Basin, accompanied by four coachmen and two carts full of gold, silver and jade.

The four coachmen naturally had no return, and were directly incorporated into the army of disciples of the Xingzhu faction, Hu Yanping had already prepared for this, these coachmen did not choose the familiar workers of the jade mine, but the wandering laborers he recruited outside the mud city with a false identity, these people were homeless and had no fixed place to live, and it was not a good thing to join the Xingzhu faction.

In order to commend Hu Yanping's merits, Ding Peng personally led the disciples to greet him outside the gate of the main altar mountain, Hu Yanping was flattered, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Master is above, please be worshiped by the disciples." ”

Connecting Hu Yanping to the main altar, Ding Peng personally ordered the gold and silver materials on the car, and praised: "Yanping's work really reassures this seat, you have worked hard for a while." ”

Hu Yanping's face was swarthy, his figure was a little thin, he knew Ding Peng's methods, and saw that he attached great importance to the jade mine, so he naturally paid more attention, it can be said that he put all his thoughts into the production of the mine, eating and living with the craftsmen every day, and sometimes going down to the bottom of the mine for several days.

However, his hard work was finally praised by Ding Peng, Hu Yanping thought it was worth it, and he had to endure hardships to become a master, which was what his father taught him since he was a child.

A trace of excitement appeared on Hu Yan's swarthy face, and he lowered his eyebrows and said, "Doing things for the sect, disciples don't work hard." There is another matter that the disciple has to report to the master. ”

"Say it. ”

A few days before the disciple left, a huge piece of jade was dug out from the well, several meters high, several people need to be embraced, this piece of jade is not only huge in size, but also of excellent quality, after cutting the outside a little, you can see the crystal jade inside, according to some old craftsmen, they have been mining jade for decades, and have never seen such a big and good jade rough. Disciple wants to ask Master what to do with this piece of jade?"

Ding Peng's heart moved when he heard this, and he said with interest: "Oh, there is such a huge jade, I want to go and see it as a teacher." When you go back, don't touch it yet, just try to let the craftsmen polish the surface and reveal the essence of it, taking care to do it in moderation and not destroying the whole thing. ”

Hu Yanping nodded and said, "Master don't worry, the disciple knows." The disciple also has a gift for Master. ”

As he spoke, he took down a wooden box from behind him and handed it to Ding Peng with both hands.

Ding Peng opened it and saw that it was a jade Ruyi with a green color, this Ruyi was smooth and smooth, the jade quality was clear, not only the quality was good, but also the craftsmanship was excellent, it seems that Hu Yanping must have invited a famous craftsman in Loulan to carve it.

The ancients took jade as a symbol of dignity, and the jade Ruyi handle was made in the shape of a finger to show that the hand could not reach, and scratching it could be wishful. The earliest use may have been used as a tickle for people with honorable status, and then gradually evolved into auspiciousness, happiness coming, and was a common gift for the upper class.

However, the jade Ruyi in the Western Regions, the style is a little different from the Central Plains, it looks more like a man's words, in fact, it is evolved from a male biogen, symbolizing wealth and power, Hu Yanping chose this gift, indicating that he used his heart.

Ding Peng smiled, patted Hu Yanping's shoulder and said, "Yes, you have a heart, don't be in a hurry to leave when you come back this time, and test how well you have practiced your recent kung fu for the teacher." ”

It is said that it is an exam, naturally pointing out, because there are too many disciples in the sect, most of the people in the Xingzhu Sect need to explore and cultivate by themselves, Ding Peng rarely gives personal guidance, Hu Yanping couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Thank you Master for your kindness, the disciples must practice diligently." ”

Hu Yanping has been in the sect for ten days before he was reluctant to leave, he is naturally not reluctant to give up his master and fellow disciples, but he has to be personally guided by Ding Peng every day in the past few days, and his kung fu has improved a lot, and his blue sand hand has been slightly successful.

After arranging Hu Yanping's affairs in Loulan, Ding Peng began to retreat again, this time the resources brought back by Hu Yanping could allow him to cultivate for a period of time, and after the official output of the Qianyi Mine, the monthly contribution points provided were more than 3,000 points, which could almost guarantee the continuous consumption of his fourth-layer Five Poison Divine Palm exercises.

It's a pity that the plan is not as fast as the change, only a little more than a month later, Ding Peng had to interrupt his cultivation again and break through, at this time his Five Poison Divine Palm cultivation has only reached level 110, which can only be said to be the same as Hu Yanping's blue sand hand, a little bit of success.

The reason why Ding Peng had no choice but to leave the customs this time was from Loulan, a letter from Muddy City: Diancang Shuangsha has important things to see him as soon as possible!
