Volume 2 The Remnant of Time Chapter 95 Shaking the Nation's Foundation
"So ......"
"Our goal now is ......"
In front of the stone table in the small courtyard, everyone sat around, looking at the three tokens with the word "miscellaneous" written on the stone table, with solemn expressions.
Ziyu looked at and pointed at two of the tokens, looked at Meng Jin and Meng Ziliang, and said, "You two have to find a way to see Zheng Lingyin." ”
Meng Ziliang and Meng Jin nodded, and then Meng Ziliang did not forget to add: "Of course, it is good to be able to see each other, but the most important thing is to feel the sword path of Tianhang Mountain." ”
Ziyu rolled her eyes when she heard this, it was all Meng Ziliang who was maintaining her dignity.
She didn't bother to pay attention to it, and looked at the other token on the stone table, and then at its owner, Yuemi, and asked, "Do you want to go to the Yaoguang Sword Pool to get the sword?" ”
Yuejian's face was a little embarrassed, after all, before this, she had also made a good mockery of Ziyu, but at this moment, she wanted to ask for her help, and she couldn't pull it off after all.
Seeing this, Chu Qingxiao was about to help her nod in agreement.
Seeing this, Ke Yue gritted his teeth and took the first step, saying, "Well, I'm going." ”
Ziyu blinked, and gave her a strange look.
Originally, according to her temperament, with such a good opportunity, she had to say a few words to regain the face she lost at noon today.
But when Tsukimi said this, she obviously had enough courage, and she still put away her thoughts.
At that time, he cleared his throat and said, "If you want to enter the Yaoguang Sword Pool, you must first become an inner disciple. ”
"It's July, and every year in October, the Yaoguang Sword Pool will be open to the inner disciples."
"And in September, the annual internal door selection will begin."
"Therefore, if you want to go to the Yaoguang Sword Pool, you have to use these two months to become an outer disciple from a miscellaneous disciple, and get the qualification for the inner door selection."
"Otherwise, we'll have to wait until next year."
"Next year?" Tsukimi frowned when he heard this.
Staying in Tianhang City was not a particularly good experience for her, not to mention that if she waited until next year, when Yaoguang asked the sword this year, it was also unknown how many swords belonging to Jianyue City in the sword pool would be taken, which was obviously not what she wanted to see.
So, she shook her head very firmly: "I can't wait for next year." ”
"What about us?" Meng Jin on the side also asked.
Ziyu said: "Zheng Lingyin is the leader of the younger generation of Tianhang Mountain, it is not difficult to meet her, but it is not easy to say. ”
"I don't have any friends in Liuhuan Peak, and if I want to help make an appointment, she may not be able to sell me this face. So the best way is to enter the inner door, but ......" Ziyu said, glanced at Meng Ziliang on the side, and stopped talking a little.
Although Meng Ziliang can become a miscellaneous disciple by relying on the method of having money to make ghosts push and grind, it seems like a fantasy to pass the inner door assessment.
"But there is a way, I inquired today, every month, the door will hold a sword awarding conference in Tianhang City, by the inner disciples and personal disciples to explain the way of the sword and some cultivation methods to everyone, and next month's sword awarding conference happens to be hosted by Liuhuan Peak, as the first disciple of Liuhuan Peak, Zheng Lingyin will probably be present." Ziyu said again.
"But again, it's not for everyone."
"And what exactly are these conditions?" Chu Qingxiao on the side asked with a smile.
"Lingtie Jade." Chu Zhaozhao took over the conversation at this time and spit out three words.
"Lingtie Jade? What is that? Tsukimi asked suspiciously.
Chu Zhaozhao had lived in Tianhang City for twelve years, and naturally knew most about these things, so she immediately said: "In Tianhang City, there is a disciple hall, where many disciple reward tasks will be issued every day, and according to the different levels of the task, different amounts of spiritual iron jade will be awarded to the disciples, and at the same time, the disciples in the door can also issue tasks through this disciple hall and use their own spiritual iron jade as a reward. ”
"If you want to become an inner disciple from a miscellaneous disciple, you need three hundred spirit iron jade, and the qualification for an inner door selection requires five hundred spirit iron jade."
"As for the sword awarding conference...... According to the different sword granters, there are also changes, according to Zheng Lingyin's identity, the sword awarding conference she presided over must at least have more than a thousand spirit iron jades before it is possible to participate. And there are also requirements for the number of people, once the quota is sold out, even if there is Lingtie Jade, you will not get this opportunity. ”
"Then what do you need to do with these tasks to earn Spirit Iron Jade?" Tsukimi asked at this point.
Chu Zhaozhao responded: "It's hard to say, compared to the huge number of disciples in Tianhang City, the tasks promulgated by the sect are in short supply, but in comparison, the amount of Lingtie Jade given is also the most sufficient, so it is often more monks and less porridge." ”
"There are those who help the sect escort and take over the goods, there are also those who complete all kinds of chores in the door, and there are even those who go to suppress bandits and handle cases."
"In the past, if I needed Lingtie Jade, more often than not, I had to accept the tasks issued by each disciple himself, and those tasks were even more varied, and everything was ......."
"For example, explaining swordsmanship, helping to find some materials for refining pills, and even helping with cooking, delivering food, and washing clothes......"
After hearing this, Tsukimi nodded, but then said: "It doesn't seem that most of them are difficult, but I don't know if the time is too late." ”
"It's not difficult, it means that there are very few spirit iron jade that can be earned, in the past, the maximum amount of spirit iron jade I can earn a month is about thirty or forty." Chu Zhaozhao said.
"That's it?" Meng Ziliang's eyes widened and he said.
"Or else?" Ziyu glanced at the other party and said.
"Then when will we be able to get enough of this Spirit Iron Jade?" Meng Ziliang cried and was a little deflated.
Counting that if they want to achieve their goal, they need at least 1,800 spirit iron jade, thirty-four pieces a month, which is enough spirit iron jade, and they don't know that they will go to the year of the monkey.
"It's not that there is no other way...... Chu Zhaozhao said again.
"What's the solution?" Meng Ziliang asked.
Chu Zhaozhao said: "In the territory of Tianhang Mountain and the city under its jurisdiction, Lingtie Jade can be said to be a hard currency that is almost equivalent to silver money, so in fact, Lingtie Jade can be purchased directly on the black market in Tianhang City with silver money. According to today's market price, almost five pieces of Spirit Iron Jade can be exchanged for one or two pieces of silver. ”
When Chu Qingxiao heard this, his eyes lit up: "It means that we can exchange money for Lingtie Jade, so that we can avoid those troubles in the middle." ”
Ziyu sneered: "Of course you can, but do you have money?" ”
Chu Qingxiao, who heard this, was stunned for a moment, they only had a total of one hundred taels of silver brought by Yuejian, the house cost thirty taels, and Yuejian spent another twenty taels to join Tianhang Mountain, and now the silver money left in their hands is only less than fifty taels......
The Meng family sisters and brothers also frowned: "There are only about thirty taels left on our bodies......
According to what Chu Zhaozhao said, five pieces of spirit iron jade can be exchanged for one tael of silver, and only one person needs three hundred and sixty taels to obtain the qualification for the inner door selection, and everyone obviously does not have that financial resources, not to mention the food, clothing, housing and transportation in the past two months, they also need a lot of money, and the plan to spend money to buy spirit iron jade is probably not feasible.
"And this kind of thing? Doesn't the imperial court care? Yuejian on the side frowned, looked strange, and said in a surprised tone.
When these words came out, everyone was puzzled.
"Why should the imperial court bother with the matter of hanging mountains on this day?" Ziyu was puzzled.
The gazes that everyone looked at Tsukimi were just as strange.
Yuejian was a little surprised to see everyone's reaction like this, she looked at everyone with foolish eyes: "You don't understand? ”
"What do you know?" Ziyu blinked.
Yuejian sighed, and then said: "According to what you said, this spirit iron jade has been circulated in the hundred towns under the jurisdiction of Tianhang Mountain, and it is a hard currency that can be directly exchanged for silver money. ”
"So what?" Ziyu was still puzzled.
Yuejian was a little helpless, probably because he understood, if he didn't break the matter, the group of people in front of him couldn't figure it out.
She looked at Chu Zhaozhao and Ziyu and asked, "Do you have Lingtie Jade?" Show me. ”
Hearing this, Chu Zhaozhao took one out of his arms and handed it over.
The so-called Lingtie Jade is actually a thumb-sized iron vessel in the shape of a half-yin and yang fish, and a bluestone is inlaid with the position of the fish's eye in the middle. The workmanship is quite fine, but the material is not valuable.
"Same as I thought." Tsukimi looked at this thing for a while and said.
After that, she looked at everyone again and handed the spirit iron jade forward: "You see that although the casting process of this spirit iron jade is good, the material is ordinary, and it has no value in itself. ”
"But relying on the name of Tianhang Mountain and the circulation of nearly a million outer gates and miscellaneous disciples in Tianhang City, it has become a hard currency that can be exchanged for silver money."
"Does that mean that Tianhang Mountain can make as many of these things as it wants to make as long as it wants, which means how much it can make? Then, through a huge number of disciples and a hundred or so towns controlled by the periphery, it is exchanged for silver money, which is equivalent to making money out of thin air......"
When everyone heard this, their faces were a little strange, and they heard some doorways, but they couldn't say it.
"Then it won't affect the imperial court......" Ziyu said, but her tone was already a little uncertain.
Yuejian glanced at her and said, "How can it be that it doesn't matter." ”
"Just imagine, if there are a total of one hundred taels of silver in the entire Dayu world, fifty pieces of spiritual iron jade created by Tianhang Mountain will be exchanged for ten taels from Dayu's hands."
"Da Yu has only ninety taels of silver left in his hand, and fifty pieces of worthless spirit iron jade, while Tianhang Mountain has an extra ten taels of real silver. This is not making money, this is snatching money from the hands of the Dayu Imperial Court! ”
"This is still due to the fact that today's Lingtie Jade of Hanging Mountain only circulates in nearby towns, if one day, as Tianhang Mountain continues to grow, his Lingtie Jade flows to the towns outside his rule and circulates throughout Southern Xinjiang, which means that the imperial court will have no way to take Tianhang Mountain."
"What do you mean?" Chu Qingxiao asked.
Yuejian said: "It's still the same reason just now, Dayu has a hundred taels of silver, and Tianhang Mountain used more spiritual iron jade to snatch more silver from them." ”
"It's thirty taels."
"Now Da Yu has seventy taels of silver in his hand, and one hundred and fifty pieces of spiritual iron jade, and thirty taels in Tianhang Mountain."
"The sky is hanging in the mountains, although it relies on Lingtieyu to grab money from the hands of the Dayu Dynasty, making the Dayu court not so comfortable. That one hundred and fifty pieces of spirit iron jade were at least worth thirty taels of silver on the surface. ”
"But if the Heavenly Hanging Mountain is gone, then the one hundred and fifty pieces of Spirit Iron Jade will become scrap iron."
"Dayu lost three-tenths of his wealth in vain, and that's just a loss of money."
"After careful study, these three-tenths of the money fell into the hands of ordinary people, that is, the life savings of tens of millions of ordinary people, and they disappeared in one fell swoop, what do you think these people will do?"
"Can Dayu bear such turmoil?"
When everyone heard this, they gradually felt the horror of this, and their backs were cold, and their expressions suddenly became strange.
Tsukimi made a final summary at this time.
"Therefore, the imperial court allowed Tianhang Mountain to manufacture and circulate this spirit iron jade, which means that he handed over his lifeline to Tianhang Mountain."
"Tianhang Mountain doesn't need the blessing of any Nine Realms and Ten Realms powerhouses at all, with this little Lingtie Jade alone, Tianhang Mountain can kidnap the entire Dayu Imperial Court, so that they not only want to keep it standing, but also be able to endure it, he keeps snatching silver money from his hands......"
"This Spirit Iron Jade ......"
"It seems inconspicuous, but it is enough to pry the foundation of the entire Dayu!"
