Chapter 175: Artisan Merchant
"Really? That's great, I want them all, I have the money." Someone next to Shui Xie said happily.
Perhaps because he was too surprised, the man didn't control the volume for a while, causing everyone around him to turn around and look over.
Zheng Quqi: They also heard the movement.
On the other side was also a gray-clothed monk who was selling, he put his hands together and said, "I'm afraid not, the conference stipulates that a person can give alms at most five, and one more will be multiplied several times, such as a spring reward of silver will lose ten taels of silver, the second ten gold, the third hundred gold, the fourth and so on."
Zheng Quqi pricked up her ears to inquire, and as soon as she finished listening, her eyes widened.
Hey, it's too profitable to hold an expo like this!
They can make a lot of money just by selling this "spring reward money", I have to say that the host of this Wujue Temple is definitely in the wrong business, if he goes to business, it must be a rich country.
Mu Gaoyi and the others were also dumbfounded, just now they were still ready to use money to do things, but now they are completely cold.
Not only did they think so, but so did others, and as soon as the "sky-high price" was reported, it stopped these craftsmen from wanting to buy "spring reward money" on a large scale, and Ji'er disrupted the results of the normal voting.
After all, who would be so stupid to take out a thousand gold to buy five "Spring Bounty Silver Coins" at one time, at most...... Just one or two.
The man who shouted that he was rich was also stunned: "This, so expensive?!"
The chubby gray-clothed monk was professionally trained, and he should have prepared a set of pre-prepared rhetoric: "It's not expensive, it's not expensive, the Buddha pays attention to a fate, and those who are destined will only feel that it's worth the money, so this rich benefactor, do you plan to ask for all five spring reward silver coins?"
The man began to break out in a cold sweat: "No, no, no, IāI don't want so much, leave some for others, I think about it, why don't I ask for three, no, two."
Two "Spring Reward Silver Coins" are ten gold, this person didn't expect it to be so expensive, what is it that he wants to buy two "Spring Reward Silver Coins", it's that damn good face!
Now let's talk about what the concept of ten gold is, in an ordinary family in Ye country, it is less than ten taels of silver a year, if you save some more, if you grow some food and raise some chickens and ducks to eat, you can't use one tael of silver.
Ten gold, which can almost meet the lifetime expenses of a low-level family.
The fat gray-clothed monk smiled and said regretfully, "It seems that the benefactor is not destined to be a person."
As soon as the conversation over there came to an end, Zheng Quqi withdrew her gaze, and she suddenly remembered that Yu Wensheng had paid others a gold casually with his big money before.
She immediately woke up, approached him in broken steps, and reminded in a low voice: "This Enlightenment Temple is a gold-swallowing beast, there are traps everywhere, we must pay attention to the money bag, we must not let it be emptied."
She's here to make money, not to spend, so she's never going to shell out a penny!
Yu Wensheng saw her little expression of being a fan of wealth, not feeling stingy and embarrassing, but cute, and he couldn't help but smile.
"Well, listen to you, ma'am."
This sentence, he said in a soft voice with a smile, low and gentle, but like a hot wind ironing over her ear, making the roots of her ears hot.
"Don't let anyone hear." She looked around weakly.
Wei Yao and the others had excellent eyesight, and when they saw that Mrs. wanted to stick to the general, they immediately ordered that everyone turn around and not snoop.
Therefore, they glanced at it, and the general and Ah Qing seemed to be quite close, but they didn't know what they were doing, and they couldn't hear what they were talking about.
Ah Qing, I can't imagine that you have even climbed the line of the general so quickly.
Mu Gaoyi and Shi Hetong are holding a big secret at the moment, they are both excited and excited, and they are not able to tell people.
Of course, they didn't think much about it, how could two men thinking about it when they were together, one was a general with unscrupulous combat strength, and the other was a young man full of youthful spirit.
Suddenly, Zheng Quqi looked at the gray-clothed monk who had been very quiet, and thought of something: "Master, every piece of art that has been placed here. How to cast a silver reward, yes
Do you want to throw five spring reward coins at once?"
"Of course not, why do you think that?" The master was also surprised.
Zheng Quqi took a deep breath and sighed, "I know."
The gray-clothed monk observed her gently, and then came up with the idea of soliciting, he said, "Donor, the poor monk has found that you are destined for the Buddha, and your wisdom is not shallow, so it is better to ......."
"Why not as good as what?" Yu Wensheng stepped forward, blocked Zheng Quqi's body, and looked at the gray-clothed monk with a smile.
The gray-clothed monk was half a head shorter than Yu Wensheng, and when he met his eyes, it was like being stared at by a terrifying beast gaze, and the hair on his body exploded.
The blindfolded young man stood aside, not revealing mountains and water, giving people the feeling that Sven was harmless, except for a stunning skin.
But now, he knew that he had lost his eyes.
He just saw the boundless sea of blood and the heavenly sky and the hell of Shura in the other party.
"No, nothing, you can all visit here, wait for the Jichun Craftsmen's Meeting to start at three o'clock in the afternoon, and the poor monk will leave for the time being."
His unfinished look turned into a hasty departure at this moment.
Zheng Quqi finally realized the benefits of having a "living Yama" by his side at this moment.
"Well done, these people from the Enlightenment Temple are too arrogant, thinking that anyone can be controlled, and if they want to change their tricks and ask us for money in the future, you will stare at him, stare at him, and scare him to death!"
Zheng Quqi compared his fist to the gray-clothed monk who fled in a panic.
Yu Wensheng raised his eyebrows: "What are you doing with me?"
Of course, it's a living Yama.
But he said, "O patron saint."
Zheng Quqi raised his head and was stupid.
Yu Wensheng was very satisfied with this title, he stared at her, and his voice had a beautiful tone that even he didn't know: "Then I will definitely take good care of you in the future."
Zheng Quqi was stunned, and he didn't know how to respond to him for a while, so he could only touch his son in a sneering manner, avoiding his gaze: "What do I have to protect...... Ah, look at the water over there, it seems to be quite spacious, and our exhibits can be placed there."
āā
At one moment in the afternoon, these craftsmen with invitations to the "Jichun Craftsmen's Association" have already found a place for their exhibits.
Some of these valuable works of art that need to be properly protected have long been sent to the temple of enlightenment, and the monks have kept them on their behalf, and they are not displayed until this day.
On this dazzling array of shelves, there are a variety of industry-leading exhibits that have not been seen on weekdays.
Zheng Quqi was on the covered bridge, shuttling back and forth between the various Shui Xie booths, and she saw that this was really a big treasure.
This includes gold ornaments that can be used for generations to collect, some special living utensils, as well as instruments, agricultural tools, etc., and of course, some things that are ahead of their time.
She walked around and found that she had everything, but there were no tools for war.
Therefore, military equipment does not exist in the Jichun Craftsman Union.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, there were already people coming and going, these people were all dressed in brocade clothes, and they stopped and lingered in the major stands to admire the exhibits they liked.
Zheng Quqi was surprised to find that here...... More than half of them were wealthy merchants from the Seven Kingdoms.
It wasn't a guess, but she heard the conversation as they passed her.
"Isn't this the Chen Dong family? How's that, what do you like?"
"Not yet, this circle has not been completed, you can't vote blindly, after all, we voted for the shortlisted artworks, but we have the right to give priority to the introduction and negotiation, Brother Wu, what about you?"
"Of course I don't either, it's better to be cautious, if the selection you want to like falls, then we won't have any singing."
"This time, we have gathered the top merchants of the Seven Kingdoms, and I don't know if we can compete with them in the end."
"Alas, there are small votes, big elections, those of us who are not comparable to the top businessmen, just fish out some art products that have just been shortlisted from the sea, and those of them who are powerful will go to talk about those arts on the first and second lists, and there is no conflict or conflict."
"That's right, I don't know what amazing artworks have appeared in the world in this triennial period, craftsmen and celebrities from all over the world......
At this time, Zheng Quqi gradually understood that the Jichun Craftsman Union, in addition to being an exposition, was essentially an exhibition.
Yes, these exhibits have a rare opportunity to be displayed in a prestigious venue.
The craftsmen will actively participate in this way, in addition to wanting to dominate the group of workers in the Jichun Craftsmen Union, but also to take advantage of this opportunity to attract representatives of merchants and firms from all over the world to come and invest in their own products.
The purpose of any product, except for a few people, is to satisfy individuals, and most people are for external sales, and such a grand event can greatly expand channels and promote sales.
But how did these merchants come in, and why didn't she see these people entering the mountain?
The gray-clothed monk who led Zheng Quqi and them before probably thought that she was also a rare talent, and when she saw that she only brought one person, she wandered around the exhibits in Shui Xie, so she quietly swayed over again.
"Donor ......"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Zheng Quqi took the initiative and asked his doubts first.
And the gray-clothed monk also answered her question: "Naturally, they are going through the VIP passage of the Wujue Temple, after all, they are all great benevolent people who have given incense and are generous, and they can't be tired."
Good guy, this is a great good person, it is clearly a big injustice!
Zheng Quqi really wanted to ask how much money she had been cheated on by these gold-swallowing beasts who could be called "great good people", but she was worried that she would not be able to bear it after inquiring.
"Then they also have the spring bounty in their hands?"
"The spring reward is a gift from this temple after giving alms and losing gifts, and they naturally have them in their hands."
After Zheng Quqi heard about it, he deliberately observed that not only did they have them, but there were also a lot of them, some people had two, some people had three, but Zheng Quqi looked over one by one, and he didn't see anyone with five pieces hanging on his waist.
"Donor ......"
Zheng Quqi didn't hear it.
"Donor?"
Zheng Quqi pretended not to hear.
"Donor."
Zheng Quqi planned to leave with Runtu, but was stopped by the gray monk.
Runtu, who has been silent like a shadow, immediately became fierce.
"Donor, the poor monk is full of suffering, if the donor of Aqing has something difficult, you can go to Mo Greedy Xuan to find the poor monk." He said calmly.
Zheng Quqi saw that he had to catch her thin sheep wool, so she simply confessed: "Master Miku, I have no money, I am poor!"
Miku raised a meaningful smile: "People who are destined for the Buddha don't talk about money, only about fate."
"Neither is the Yuan." She didn't jump a single one.
Miku: "...... The future of the benefactor is immeasurable, there must be great talent (wealth), and now the hardship is about to be overcome, Amitabha, the poor monk is waiting for the donor in Mo Greed."
After speaking, the monk's clothes fluttered lightly, and Shi Shiran left.
Zheng Quqi's heart at the moment is running over with 10,000 grass and mud horses, she is not afraid of the "thief" stealing, anyway, she is poor and white now, she just didn't expect that this "thief" would be worried about her future wealth?
At this time, Runtu whispered to her, "Madam, there is something wrong with this monk."
Zheng Quqi's eyes flashed fiercely: "Of course there is a problem? If it's no problem, in this Shui Xie exhibition field, he doesn't go to the pit of so many rich people, he is staring at me as a poor bastard, and he is still waiting for me, he just waits until he dies, and I won't go to him to solve problems."
Runtu was speechless for a while, but he felt that he still had to explain to his wife: "He has light steps, his breath is long and full, he should have practiced martial arts, and his fingers are slender and his joints are well-proportioned, not like the gray-clothed monks who do rough work in the temple in the morning and dusk."
Zheng Quqi understood at this time.
"You mean, he's a monk in disguise?"
"It shouldn't be, the ring scar on his head is old, and this can't be faked."
"He is a monk, but he is not the lowest-ranking gray-clothed monk in the Enlightenment Temple, he deliberately disguised himself as a gray-clothed monk to attract customers, is there another purpose?" Zheng Quqi guessed
Track surveying.
"It's hard to say, but Madame should be careful about this person." Runtu Road.
Zheng Quqi bowed his head: "Okay, I know, Runqi Governor's observation is really good."
When she saw that he was rarely enthusiastic, she praised him as if encouraging.
Runtu lowered his eyes: "It is the responsibility of the subordinates to eliminate the dangerous existence around the lady."
āā
Mu Gaoyi and Shi Hetong followed Wang Zebang to pick up Wei Yao, there was a fixed frame on the Panlong carriage and a tight protective layer, which needed to be dismantled by someone who understood, and then carried in and placed.
Yu Wensheng was not interested in military equipment, so he went to find a pavilion for guests to rest.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zheng Quqi's Panlong carriage was finally placed, because it was large enough, it fully occupied the position of one side of Shui Xie, which was equivalent to this side of the Shui Xie platform, there was no Bogu frame, only their one thing.
Of course, in the entire booth venue, their Panlong carriage was not the largest, and there was also a red sandalwood sixteen-legged carved seat lamp, which was simply exaggerated and beautiful.
There are also weighing instruments, which are modern names, which have already been manufactured.
It's just that the appearance is not quite the same, but the lever principle of the power arm multiplied by the weight, and the heavy arm multiplied by the weight is the same.
There are even more exotic things, such as the fun pinball box, where you just throw a bead into the box, and when you touch a mechanism, it will be bounced and rattle in the box, which is very interesting.
Zheng Quqi wanted to know what the knowledge principles it used, but if the box was not dismantled, the internal structure would not be visible.
There is also a representative of progress in agriculture, the plough, which has been continuously transformed and improved, and now has an advanced plough wall device, as well as a plough arrow device that can adjust the depth of the cultivated land.
Zheng Quqi thought to himself, it's okay to say anything else, but in farming, she is really a novice.
If she gets the plough back, decomposes and analyzes it, and after understanding it, she can make it according to the gourd drawing, and then she can save a lot of effort and time in farming in the future.
"Why don't you throw a spring reward for money?"
I heard that only those who have invested in the spring reward can apply to the Jichun Craftsman Union to meet the craftsmen behind the exhibits and negotiate with them.
