Chapter 44: The Monk's Market. officials
"Childe wants to know the situation of the imperial court, so let me talk about the official rank first." The doorman nodded.
Li Furen's eyes showed anticipation.
"As far as I know, the officials in the court are divided into Xiangguo, Yaxiang, Prince Taishi, Fengwang, the four major princes of the southeast, northwest and northwest, eight hundred small princes, upper, middle and lower doctors and generals." The doorman looked at him with a deep groan.
"What are upper, middle, and lower doctors and generals?" Li Furen didn't understand.
"The upper, middle and lower doctors will refer to the upper doctors, middle doctors, lower doctors, generals, middle generals, and lower generals." Menchen explained. (Author's words: Just refer to the official positions in the list of gods, please don't take it seriously, it's not real history)
It turned out that this was the meaning, Li Furen nodded.
"As for who has the greatest power, as far as I know, Wen Taishi has the military power of the whole country, and he is the most powerful, and even the king is inferior to him by a few points." Menchen Road.
Li Furen was surprised.
"Wen Zhong is the minister of Tuogu, and relatively speaking, he is indeed the most powerful." The Golden Crow God King said.
"What kind of officer is the chief soldier?" Li Furen asked the Golden Crow God King.
"The general army is equivalent to a small prince, there is not much difference." The Golden Crow God King said.
The chief soldier is the most common official position in the god list, it turns out that this is the meaning, Li Furen nodded.
"Childe still has something to ask?" The doorman asked.
"What do you think of the current king?" Li Furen said curiously.
"When I was imprisoned, the king was only a prince, and I didn't know much about him, except that I heard that he was very fond of hunting and beauty." Menchen Road.
If this is the case, the king is only afraid that he is really a womanizer as said on the god list, and Li Furen is the head.
"Now there are only two princes, right?" Li Furen asked again.
"That's right, it's called Yin Jiao Yin Hong!" Menchen Road.
"What do you think of Xiqi?" Li Furen asked quietly.
"I've heard Bigan Yaxiang say that the Marquis of Xibo is a benevolent and righteous person, and the Xiqi he manages should not be bad." Menchen Road.
"Have you ever heard of Ji Fa?" Li Furen asked again.
"Like...... He is the son of Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo. The courtier hesitated.
It seems that he doesn't know much about Ji Fa, who will overthrow the king in the future, and Li Furen knows it.
"Okay, don't ask, you're busy." Li Furen got up and smiled, finding that there was nothing more to ask.
Day 2.
Noon.
At the suggestion of the Golden Crow God King, Li Furen came to the cultivator trading market located in the Chengjiao District of Yizhou.
In the quiet alley, he saw the yellow painted herb flag that the Golden Crow God King said about the sign of the monk's trading market.
In front of him, the alleys were as intricate as the modern Eight Great Hutongs, and seeing that the surroundings were so quiet that there was not even a person walking, he asked the Golden Crow God King, "Are you really sure it's here?" ”
"There are 30 households in this area, and there are trading markets, and you can just enter one household." The Golden Crow God King said.
"You mean they're doing business behind closed doors in the house?" Li Furen was surprised.
"You'll find out when you go in and see." The Golden Crow God said without saying much.
It seemed that he could only go to see and see, and after looking at the yellow flag with herbs painted on his head again, Li Furen walked towards the nearest tiled house.
The door was very quaint and old, Li Furen stepped forward and pushed the door open with a slight push, and when he entered, he was suddenly stunned by the scene inside. But I saw that in this relatively large and simple wooden room, five people in Taoist robes were sitting cross-legged on the ground, with cloth in front of them and all kinds of things, and then seven people who were also wearing Taoist robes slowly walked around or stopped in front of the five-person stall, scanning as if they were shopping, the whole room was extremely quiet, and Li Furen's face was surprised.
Seeing that everyone retracted their gaze and continued to do their own thing after hearing the movement and looking at him, Li Furen was speechless and had to close the door gently.
"Cultivators like to be quiet, because it is often like this in the trading market, and you will get used to it when you come often in the future." The Golden Crow God King said.
If it weren't for the ruddy faces of the people in the room, the eyes were indeed alive, Li Furen thought he had entered a haunted house, he shook his head and walked to the nearest stall.
The stall owner, an old man in a yellow robe, nodded to him when he saw him coming.
It's really weird, Li Furen nodded at him speechlessly.
Scanning the stall, seeing that it was either a whole plant of medicinal herbs or all kinds of delicate small items that I didn't know what they were, Li Furen squatted down and picked up a red wooden beast carving with a fist that looked like a horse's head and asked the Golden Crow God King: "What is this?" ”
"A kind of fragrant wood, placed in the room can increase the fragrance and calm the nerves." The Golden Crow God King said.
couldn't help but put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, and after discovering that there was really a special fragrance, Li Furen nodded.
"What's the price?" He looked up and asked the old man.
"A spirit stone." The old man said slowly, there was no extra nonsense.
It can be said that it is the lowest price of spirit stones, but it is a pity that he does not have spirit stones, so Li Furen had to put them back.
After a while, he picked up a blue ball that looked like a human eye was shining and asked the Golden Crow God King, "What is this?" ”
"Luminous pearls that illuminate at night." The Golden Crow God King said.
That is, the modern version of the light bulb, Li Furen raised his eyebrows.
"You can ask more about the price of the elixir, which will help you set up a stall in the future." The Golden Crow God King said.
To put it bluntly, it is to inspect the market, and Li Furen should be.
Three hours later.
Li Furen, who had browsed almost all the trading rooms, returned to the mouth of the Yellow Flag Alley where the herbs were drawn, and he looked up at the Yellow Banner and said to the Golden Crow God King: "Today is an eye-opener, I really didn't expect the cultivator's trading market to be like this. ”
"This is mostly the case in the city trading market, but not in the wild." The Golden Crow God King said.
"After I learn the sword, I'll dig up the elixir and set up a stall here to earn spirit stones, and strive to get a space magic weapon as soon as possible." Li Furen said with a smile.
"Just strengthen your cultivation." The Golden Crow God King said.
After glancing at the alley again, Li Furen turned to leave.
Half a moon in the blink of an eye.
Hou Mansion.
Another morning, the sleeping Li Furen was woken up by Jiamu.
"What's wrong?" Li Furen looked at him slightly.
"It's still early, let's go back!" Kogi Road.
"Going back?" Li Furen was stunned, every day for the past half a month has been either visiting the cultivator's market or chatting with Daji, and he is almost ignoring the matter of going back when he lives.
"The carriage is ready, let's go now!" Kogi Road.
"Didn't you say you'd find a strange man to deal with that water monster? What, this is going back? Li Furen said, he found that since he came here, he was either looking for friends or on the way to find friends, and he didn't go to find any strange people at all, he was puzzled.
"I've asked around when I've been visiting friends these days, but no!" Jiamu sighed.
"Didn't find it?" Li Furen was stunned.
Nail wood jaw head.
"What will happen to the water monster when you go back?" Li Furen said.
"I can only go to the Yuguan Gate and ask." Jiamu said that he couldn't do anything about it now.
"What if Yuguanmen doesn't help?" Li Furen said.
In addition to trying his best, what can he do, Jiamu looked helpless.
"The people in the village are just afraid that they will have a hard time these days, should we buy some food for them to bring back before we go back?" Li Furen changed the topic and said.
"Buy medicine for you for me, the money on me is basically exhausted, and I won't buy food." Kogi Road.
Speechless in his heart, Li Furen took the money given by Daji to him and said, "Miss Daji gave me this money a few days ago, although it is not a lot, but it should be somewhat useful!" ”
Jiamu looked at him in a slight stunned manner.
Li Furen asked about the price of grain here, knowing that one hundred catties of grain here is equivalent to one hundred yuan in modern times, and he has three or four thousand yuan given by Daji in his hand, and it is not a problem to buy a few thousand catties of grain, he said: "Village chief, you go to buy grain first, I'll wait for you!" ”
