Chapter 70 Interests determine the rise and fall, and the Shangyuan Treasure Appreciation Meeting
Kangyuan City Crane Dance Building, located in the north city of Mingshanfang.
In the seventeenth year of Yuanlong of the Great Wei Dynasty, Emperor Li Chenghao of Wei traveled the world, at that time, the royal family of the Great Wei Dynasty was in full swing, and the family did not dare to take advantage of it.
That night, the moon was in full bloom, the crane danced and soared, Emperor Wei was overjoyed, and he gave the name to the immortal banquet.
It is indeed ascending to immortal, the following year Wei Emperor Li Chenghao died a whimper, the princes fought for the throne, reached out to mix the art of sealing the gods, the society was shaken, and it also laid the disaster for the collapse of the Great Wei in the future.
Although the Great Wei Dynasty died, the Crane Dance Tower survived the war without being destroyed, and became the first choice for various events in Kangyuan City.
……
"Treasure Appreciation ......"
Wang Xuan sat in the carriage, watched through the curtain as the magnificent high-rise buildings with flying eaves and arches were getting closer and closer, and turned his head to Mo Huaixian next to him and asked, "Brother Mo, the family has moved and everything is busy, how can you have time to participate in this?" ”
When working with others, it is natural to get to the bottom of it.
As Mo Huaixian said, the Mo family is not a big family, it originated in Huaizhou and has been in business for generations, but there are two characters in this generation.
One is the uncle of the Mo Huaixian clan, who studied art in Shanhai Academy, was valued by the master, made a wide range of friends, entered the court as an official, and sat until he sat in the position of the household servant.
The other threw himself into the rivers and lakes, and entered the Sihaimen Main Hall after life and death, which is the old shopkeeper of the inn, specializing in touring the world's four seas inn.
These two people are bright and dark, and the court and the rivers and lakes work together, so that the Mo family gradually saves some foundation, and this time they operate secretly and get a place.
To tell the truth, the Mo family is also shrewd, and in order to avoid the suspicion of other families, they specially chose a remote place in Yong'an, and also found Wang Xuan, who was alone.
"Brother Wang doesn't know?"
Mo Huaixian was stunned for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Every year, at the treasure appreciation conferences in various places, all treasures are just embellishments, the key is to exchange cultivation resources, and now that the government army is restructured, the prices of various materials will inevitably soar." ”
Wang Xuan frowned slightly, "You need a lot of silver, right?" ”
There is no spirit stone in this world, if you want that kind of thing, the royal families of the past dynasties can even hollow out the Tiandu Longshou Mountain for you, and you can save it first if you don't need it.
The predecessor family was in the middle of the road, and the current situation in the cultivation world is really unclear.
Mo Huaixian shook his head and said: "It's too wasteful to use silver money, but to redeem tickets." ”
"The various lineage families of Dayan can survive, the inheritance of force is only one of them, and there must be a foundation for survival, such as the Taiyi Sect's talisman is the best, but the rune paper is the most well-made by the Huaizhou Sima family, and the Xiao family is good at fine bronze, which is exclusively used by the refining workshop of the imperial court......"
Wang Xuan's eyes were slightly condensed, and he was keenly aware of a point.
A stable world must have its own rules of the game, the royal family, the family, the legal line, the court, the rivers and lakes, perhaps it is precisely by relying on this that you have and my interests entangled, in order to abide by their own way.
Mo Huaixian didn't notice the color in Wang Xuan's eyes, and continued to speak: "Whether it is cultivating elixir, alchemy, mineral refining, or talisman making, it takes a long time. The amount produced by each family each year is also about the same, so part of the exchange tickets will be released on the Shangyuan Festival every year to exchange goods, and as long as you hold the exchange tickets, you can get the physical goods. ”
Wang Xuan was dumbfounded when he heard this.
How does this stuff look a bit like futures?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked, "What if a certain lineage encounters a great calamity and can't be cashed in?" ”
Mo Huaixian smiled slightly, "Then I think I'm unlucky, but Brother Wang can change his mind, if the goods from this law line are important enough and the amount is not expensive......"
Wang Xuan realized in his heart, "When encountering a catastrophe, some people may not be willing to bear the loss, and they will maneuver from it, although the loss is bound to be not small, but at least they can survive!" ”
"That's right......"
Mo Huaixian said: "Therefore, in addition to refining the gods and refining the true inheritance, the secret technique of making spiritual materials is also the foundation of life, and whoever covets it is the enemy of life and death." ”
"I see......"
Wang Xuan suddenly figured out many things, why the imperial court implemented a rationing system for the military weapons in various places, and why the Taiyin Sect could survive like that.
I'm afraid that this is also one of the means that the imperial court will use to check and balance various military governments in the future!
Thinking of this, Wang Xuan had a headache, "What kind of resource secret technique does the Mo family have?" ”
He originally thought that the Mo family had just started, and it was estimated that they would be poor and white, but who knew that Mo Huaixian smiled slightly, and took out a thick stack of redemption tickets from his arms, "Three thousand copies of Taiyi Sect talismans, one hundred boxes of spiritual ink in Zhangzhou Danqing Pavilion, and two hundred blood ginseng roots in Wuxian Hall...... Brother Wang rest assured, the Mo family's investment in the military government is not just talking about it. ”
Wang Xuan was stunned, "Why do you have so many?" ”
Mo Huaixian's eyes became weird, "It's all the income of Uncle Xia's corruption..."
Seeing that Wang Xuan was stunned, he laughed, "Just kidding, the treasury of the Dayan Dynasty is empty, and my uncle is trembling in the household department, how can he fall into the hands of others." ”
"However, the household department and the four seas have their own news, where the wind is smooth, where the spiritual field is destroyed by the evil of the mountains and forests, you can know in advance, as long as the speed is fast, you can make the difference by bartering."
Good guy, it turned out to be an opportunist ...
Wang Xuan smiled slightly, but he was secretly vigilant in his heart.
There are a lot of people who can get the news, but the difficulty of overcoming many obstacles and making profits again and again can be imagined.
This Mo Huaixian is far from being as simple as it seems!
While speaking, the carriage had come to the bottom of the crane dance building.
The huge stones under the crane dance tower are piled up as a platform, the ten-meter-high base needs to be climbed by the bluestone steps, at this time the surrounding streets and open spaces have been cleared, three steps and one sentry, are all guards wearing armor and holding Ge, and there are archers patrolling the surrounding heights.
These guards were awe-inspiring, their eyes were sharp, and they didn't look like they were in the army, but their momentum was not bad at all.
Wang Xuan is not surprised, the family controls the border army, and many elite disciples in the clan have experienced in it, and the strength shown now is only a drop in the bucket.
"Captain Wang, don't come unharmed."
After walking a few steps, Steward Liu, who had gone to Yong'an to escort the refining diagram, walked over, and his smile was still polite, which made people feel like a spring breeze.
However, it is only polite.
Wang Xuan is not surprised, the legendary third prince Xiao Zhongmou has used two favors to repay Xiao Qingman's life-saving revenge, and he has nothing to do with the Xiao family anymore.
After that, Steward Liu looked at Mo Huaixian again, smiled and said, "Master Mo, the third prince heard that you came to Bingzhou, and said that you must hold a banquet to entertain you." ”
"If you have the third son of Lao to worry about, you will definitely come to visit you in the future."
Mo Huaixian seemed to have changed, and his words were full of elegance.
After a polite gesture, the two said goodbye and left, and Steward Liu greeted the new guests, and there were horse-drawn carriages coming one after another in the distance.
After the two of them climbed the steps and walked away, Mo Huaixian sighed in a low voice: "Brother Wang, do you know why my Mo family hid in Yong'an?" Don't look at the fact that some people are having fun now, and all the real talents in the state are watching from the sidelines, and they will ...... in the future Remember, the third prince tried not to provoke! ”
Wang Xuan smiled faintly, "Brother Mo, don't worry, Wang is very kind." ”
……
To Wang Xuan's surprise, the scale of the so-called treasure appreciation meeting is really not small.
The Crane Dance Building has seven floors, and the trading venue alone occupies four floors.
The third floor is the exhibition hall of elixirs, minerals, spiritual materials, etc., and the Treasure Pavilion has erected a huge wooden plank, on which their respective needs are written according to the number, and if they want to trade, they will find someone to talk to alone, and the Xiao family has even arranged a secret place.
On the way, Wang Xuan estimated the share according to the needs of the thousand-person team, most of which were minerals for refining evil weapons, elixirs for treating external injuries, and some talismans such as searching for demons and spirits.
As for the auction of his "Taiyin Refining Shape Diagram", it is scheduled for the afternoon.
There were really a lot of people who had already arrived, not only the disciples of the various Dharma lineages, who either had strange eyes or nodded slightly when they saw him, but as for those military captains, they pretended not to see him.
Wang Xuan didn't pay attention to it, and secretly discussed it with Mo Huai while looking at the panel.
In a trance, there was a feeling of returning to the trading floor of the previous life.
Before you know it, there are more and more people in the hall.
Suddenly, Wang Xuan's afterglow swept and looked at the two Dharma Lineage disciples, who had ordinary faces and were dressed in coarse sermon robes, and after seeing him, they glanced at him lightly and quickly left.
Mo Huaixian said in a low voice: "Those two are the Wu family brothers of the Liuhe Yin and Yang Gate, can Brother Wang recognize them?" ”
Wang Xuan shook his head slightly, "I don't know, I just feel that the figure is a little familiar......"
