Chapter 862: Nuwa Niangniang Strikes Again
Jiang Ziya was very depressed.
He has been cultivating in Kunlun Mountain for 40 years, and has not only taken countless elixirs, but also received great assistance from his fellow disciples, and he thinks that his magic power is high.
But after coming to Chaoge, it was difficult to even survive.
Especially after marrying a sixty-eight-year-old lady, he took on the responsibility of supporting his family.
His current food and housing are all provided by his friend Song Yiren, and he has to make money to support his family even if it is for the sake of face.
You can't farm if you don't know how to farm, how can you go to farming after learning all the skills.
You can't use spells to get money, it's not that he still has shame, but here is Chaoge, there are countless powerful people, and if you can't be seen through, it will be difficult to save your life.
However, in his forty years in Kunlun Mountain, apart from the superficial spells, he only learned to do some cleaning and repairing chores.
In desperation, he had no choice but to weave a fence with a piece of slices, and then send it to Chaoge City to sell.
But somehow, a large number of metal products suddenly appeared in Chaoge City.
This brand new, named ironware, is sturdy and extremely popular.
Never-before-seen iron pots, shovels, iron spoons, iron fishing and other catering supplies quickly filled the market.
Not only is it easy to use but it is also inexpensive, and similar products are quickly swept into the trash.
That's right, Li Yunze popularized iron tools on a large scale hundreds of years in advance.
There is no need for any advanced steel plant, it is the simplest primitive earth blast furnace, plus smelting and forging technology is enough.
After all, in this era of low productivity, he can't digest a steel with an annual output of tens of thousands of tons.
The first ironware to appear was tableware closely related to life, so Jiang Ziya's fence could not be sold at all.
In desperation, he had to carry the fence and drive home dozens of miles.
When he returned home, Ma asked him if he wanted to sell the income from the fence, but where did Jiang Ziya get the income? And he was angry and hungry, so he didn't have a good face and asked Ma to prepare the meal.
Don't make any money and still want to eat?
There is no essential difference between women in ancient times and women in the modern world.
Men have no money, so naturally they won't give a good face.
The two had a big fight, and the result was that they didn't have to eat dinner.
Song Yiren, who was a good friend, learned the news, and rushed over to persuade him, and then said that the mill on his Zhuangzi produced dry noodles (flour), which could be sold to Jiang Ziya in the city.
Early the next morning, Jiang Ziya, who had not eaten any angry meals, came to Chaoge City again with a load of dry noodles.
But today, there are a lot of dry noodles with lower prices and better quality on the market.
After inquiring, I learned that the imperial court introduced a new mill technology, using water conservancy mills to reduce costs, etc., to improve the output and quality, and the price naturally dropped.
Jiang Ziya's dry noodles are borrowed from Song Yiren, and the capital plus his money as a second-class dealer, the price will naturally not be cheap.
With such a comparison between the two, his dry noodles naturally can't be sold.
Seeing that it was getting late and his dry noodles had not been sold, Jiang Ziya, who was rumbling in his stomach, could only helplessly carry the burden and return the same way.
But there were unforeseen circumstances, and when I was halfway there, I suddenly caught up with a timely rain.
This timely rain only lasted for about a stick of incense, but it was transparent to water Jiang Ziya's dry noodles.
The heavy rain came and went quickly, but Jiang Ziya's heart was soaked.
Looking at the dry noodles that have become lumps, I really want to cry without tears.
These don't say it's to earn shellfish, this is directly to give out the capital on credit, or the capital given by a good friend.
Unsurprisingly, Jiang Ziya, who returned home, broke out into a fierce quarrel with his wife again.
Jiang Ziya couldn't eat, let alone get on the bed.
Sitting at the door with a depressed heart, he looked up at the Moon Palace in the sky.
"That's not right."
He remembered the scene before he came down the mountain.
"Jiang Shang, you have been under my door for forty years." Yuan Shi Tianzun calmly said, "You don't have an immortal fate, but you can enjoy the wealth of the world. Go down the mountain and support the Lord to enjoy the wealth and glory. ”
"Tianzun has said that I should enjoy the wealth of the world." Jiang Ziya, who came back to his senses, turned his head to look at the dilapidated house behind him, "This is also called wealth in the world?" ”
The wealth in the world who can't eat, and the sixty-eight-year-old wife, all make Jiang Ziya retreat, thinking about whether it is better to go back to Kunlun Mountain to do chores.
When I got up and sighed, thinking about how to explain to my brother tomorrow, I suddenly ran into the jade pendant on my body.
Thinking of the words of the mysterious person when he got married, Jiang Ziya thought, "Don't you do it, all the wealth in the world falls on this jade pendant?" ”
Early the next morning, Jiang Ziya didn't listen to his wife's words to go to his righteous brother to make amends, but went straight into Chaoge City with his head held high and came to the gate of Bigan's Prime Minister's Mansion.
As the saying goes, the people who push bicycles in the capital are cough cough, at least the porter of Bigan does not let him in.
Even if Jiang Ziya took out the jade pendant, it wouldn't work, because the porter didn't recognize it.
"The prime minister is busy with things, how can he see it when he wants to?"
Fortunately, Bi Gan happened to be going out, and when he saw the jade pendant in Jiang Ziya's hand, he was shocked.
Because this thing belongs to His Majesty.
stepped forward to inquire and learned that there was a young man at the wedding, and said that he would take this to the prime minister Yunyun, and Bigan immediately understood.
He was not in a hurry to go out, and greeted Jiang Ziya with a smile.
After taking their seats, Bigan asked about Jiang Ziya's origin.
Although it was arranged by His Majesty, it can be compared to being an upright person, and if he doesn't have real skills, he will definitely not condone it.
Fortunately, I learned that Jiang Ziya had studied under the sect of Kunlun Mountain, which can indeed be regarded as capable.
After some school examinations, Bigan arranged for him to be admitted to Qin Tianjian as a doctor.
After all, Jiang Ziya will call for wind and rain, and he can barely be regarded as a professional counterpart.
Once he jumped from a white body to a doctor, Jiang Ziya's spirit suddenly became different.
When I got home, I was even more high-spirited and had face in front of my wife.
As for his wife, of course, she also changed her previous preaching and replaced it with a smile and a beautiful compliment.
This is completely understandable, after all, if you don't have enough to eat, you can't dress warmly, when you are facing a serious survival problem, or when you are under great pressure to survive, and you don't have a sense of material security, who would think about talking about true feelings, after all, the vast majority of women can't share hardships and hardships, but can only share blessings.
The ancestors said that poor couples mourn everything, pointing out the importance of being the right person, not to mention that sometimes husbands and wives are birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes.
When there is no money, there is naturally no gentleness, and when there is money, everything you see is gentleness.
No matter what happens, this has never changed.
Li Yunze, who has been paying attention to this matter, also smiled when he saw Jiang Ziya's high-spirited appearance.
He thought about it for a while, and ordered someone to summon Bigan to pick up the star tower.
Seeing Bigan, Li Yunze said very directly, "The matter of innovation can be left to Jiang Shang to do." ”
The innovation of all dynasties, from Shang Ying to Zhang Juzheng, its essence is that in the case that the cake can no longer continue to grow, in order to avoid the end of everyone dying together, we have to attack those who occupy most of the cake.
No matter what method is used, whether it is a whip method or a seedling method, this is the essence of all innovations, and it has never changed.
Li Yunze wants to reform big business, which is essentially the same.
He wanted to get back more benefits from the hands of the noble princes, so he would naturally offend these people.
The king in history did it himself, and Li Yunze still had a lot of things to do, so he asked Jiang Shang to be the first bird.
In order to keep this Heavenly Mandate Divine Man, Yuan Shi Tianzun naturally had a headache.
If there are more distractions, there will naturally be less attention to other things, so Li Yunze can do more things.
The saints of this world are not just Yuan Shi Tianzun alone.
There are many bigwigs who have been paying attention to Li Yunze, including Nuwa Niangniang.
After the failure to send the nine-tailed fox last time, Nuwa Niangniang was silent for a while.
It's not giving up, it's waiting for the right moment.
Under the general trend of the Heavenly Dao, even a saint cannot stay out of it.
In Chaoge City, when it began to gradually become chaotic because of innovation, Nuwa Niangniang struck again.
Thirty-three days away, Wa Palace.
The nine-headed pheasant essence and the jade pipa essence bowed to Nuwa Niangniang.
The once powerful demon clan is now really in decline.
The big demons everywhere, the only hope and backer is Nuwa Niangniang.
It's a pity that what they don't know is that when they reach the level of saints, they have long been ruthless and unrighteous in their hearts, only calculating interests.
The big demons regard Nuwa Niangniang as their backer, but in Nuwa Niangniang's eyes, these big demons are just consumables that can be consumed at any time.
In the original work, the three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb were originally ordered by Nuwa Niangniang to cause trouble to the big business.
The three demons can also be regarded as acting according to orders, and they are indeed unseemly to cause trouble to the big merchants, and their role is comparable to Guo Kai, the head of the five famous generals.
But the result?
At the end of the gods, Nuwa Niangniang took action in person, captured the three demons, and handed them over to Xiqi to rectify the law on the spot.
After his death, he couldn't even go up to the Fengshen platform, so he died.
This is employing people in the front, and killing you directly in the back when they run out.
At this moment, Nuwa Niangniang looked at the two demons in front of her and said calmly, "Are you willing to avenge the nine-tailed fox?" ”
The two demons glanced at each other, and saluted together, "Obey the instructions of the mother." ”
"I've already arranged your identity for you, just go to Chaoge City to find someone to help." Nuwa Niangniang said, turned her head to look at the boy on the side, "Caiyun, you send them to Chaosong City to find that person." ”
Caiyun Boy saluted, "Command." ”
There are two Caiyun boys in the world of the gods, namely Shiji Niangniang and Nuwa Niangniang's children.
The two demons said goodbye and left, and came to Chaoge City with the Caiyun Boy.
Without words, he went straight to a mansion.
The owner of the mansion is Fei Lian, a doctor in the middle school.
The Fei Lian and the Evil Lai in history are all loyal ministers of the Great Shang and the kind that are loyal to the king to the end.
It's just that in later generations, he was splashed with dirty water and became a traitor despised by everyone.
Being able to be contacted by Nuwa Niangniang for help, Fei Lian and Evil Lai naturally can't be ordinary people, they actually have a lot of origins, they are the remnants of the demon war back then.
As for the Demon War, it was the first generation of the Heavenly Emperor, the Emperor Jun who established the Demon Heavenly Court and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and the earth-shattering battle against the ten demon gods.
The nine-headed pheasant essence and the jade pipa essence are both transformed into human forms, and they have restrained their breath, looking no different from ordinary people.
But under the shroud of Li Yunze's divine sense, the entire Chaoge City has never been able to hide his affairs.
As soon as he arrived here, Li Yunze had already noticed it.
Li Yunze in the Star Picking Building showed a smile: "Interesting." ”
