Chapter 568: The Luxury of the Black Lotus Hall (I)
Chen Kang led several cronies and walked on the avenue with a horse and whip, he was originally going to rush to the Eastern Capital as soon as he settled his companions, but he didn't expect that because the boss and backbone of the Blood Yan Gang were sent to Shen Fei, he was really sorry not to swallow such a big fat meat, so when the Blood Yan Gang set off after swallowing things, it was two months later, and he had to rush to the Eastern Capital in a month, and the time was really a little urgent, so although it was not a day and night rush in, the distance was also very tight.
And Chen Kang, who was thinking about something on horseback, saw that there was a post station not far away for passers-by to rest, looked at the sky, and then looked at the condition of the pony sitting down, and couldn't help but say: "Rest at the post station in front!"
"Yes!" The cronies, who had long been tired, were naturally shaken and hurried towards the post station with a few whips.
The area of this post station is very vast, but the structure is very simple, there is a bungalow in the back, a big tea shed in front, and then a fence woven with bamboo, this is the fence. Just don't underestimate this place, if you say the safest public place in the world, then it is such a post station. First of all, this post station was an official post station before, and the relationship network is all over the world, and now although the country is divided, this post station still maintains the national relationship network, and the local overlord also maintains the existence of the post station intentionally or unintentionally, after all, the delivery of letters to inquire about the news, and even the spies to rest these things must be used in these post stations, it is better to be familiar than to be cooked, since people have been doing post stations for generations, then naturally let people continue to do it.
Therefore, under the maintenance of various forces intentionally or unintentionally, no one dares to provoke this post station, because this is a hostile thing that will cause the whole day post station, unless you don't settle down, otherwise you have to be careful whether the post station will poison you to poison the people who hurt the post station, but in these years, the vast majority of people can not do it from this city to another city in one day, and the days spent in the wild are inevitable. Instead of sleeping in the wilderness, why not rest in the inn, a place with hot water and hot food, and shelter from the wind and rain?
With so many reasons, the post station can naturally exist in this troubled era, of course, more is that the post station does not participate in the hegemony and vendetta and other things, they are for the convenience of distant passengers, as long as they are guests can enjoy the service of the post station.
So when Chen Kang and the others came to the post station, the tea shed was already sitting, and several groups of convoys were settling down. The whole post station was boiling and lively, and therefore, people like Chen Kang and them who did not travel far did not cause any waves at all, and they blended into this lively atmosphere.
After ordering some drinks and snacks, a few people gathered around a table to eat and drink while resting, of course, they were naturally very accustomed to pricking up their ears to listen to the situation around them, both as a vigilance and to collect information.
However, everyone quickly focused on the center of the tea shed, because the dozen or so tables in that place were absolutely sumptuous. Big fish, big fish, good wine, nothing is lacking, and everyone who came to the table shouted congratulations to a middle-aged man who was in his hands, and was wondering how to get a good deed to the post station to do, but when he saw the middle-aged man's dress, he immediately understood. Because the costume on the old man's body was obviously the costume of the head of the post station, that is, the clothes of the former post chief, it was no wonder that people wanted to set up a banquet at this post station.
Originally, Chen Kang and the others were not interested in exploring what other people were doing, but immediately after that, they couldn't help but turn their heads and look around. Because the middle-aged man waited for the visitor to be almost there, he stood up and arched his hand and said, "Thank you relatives and friends for coming, our old fellow has nothing to say." Do it first as a respect!" As he spoke, he took the wine from the sea bowl and drank it in one gulp, and the guests below immediately shouted: "Brother, why is there nothing to say! Hurry up and tell me how your kid joined the Black Lotus Hall?"
"Uh, boss, is this Black Lotus Hall the entrance of your brother's hall?" Chen Kang asked one of his subordinates a little stunned.
"It should be, right? After all, he's the one who calls Black Lotus Hall. Chen Kang hesitated.
"Impossible, isn't it? What kind of place is this? The power of the Black Lotus Hall has already penetrated here? And judging by their appearance, it is a very honorable thing to join the Black Lotus Hall? How is this possible, we only learned about the existence of the Black Lotus Hall in that restaurant at the beginning!" another subordinate shouted, obviously he said the reason why Chen Kang hesitated, it was really surprising, a hall that had never heard of before, was actually very popular in this place?
"Don't talk, listen carefully. Chen Kang said, everyone naturally closed their mouths and pricked up their ears to listen, and not only them, but also other passengers, couldn't help but prick up their ears to listen, and for a while, the entire tea shed was so quiet.
The middle-aged postmaster obviously enjoyed this state of attention, coughed dryly and smiled: "Ha Luha, that kid in my family, everyone sitting here knows that Lu Dao is an unconscious guy, who is making a fuss all day long, and he is a fart who has been chivalrous and righteous all these years?
"A while ago, this kid suddenly came back dressed in decent clothes and said that he was selected by the Black Lotus Hall to be a miscellaneous servant, I was angry at the time, and I didn't want to be a post station soldier and actually ran to a mixed gang? Forget about the mixed gang, he actually mixed into a miscellaneous servant of a gang that I have never heard of the name? This is still a good thing! Naturally, I chased him and beat him, I believe you all know about such a thing. The postmaster smiled.
"Ha Luha, of course you know that your roar was heard by almost everyone in the county at that time. ”
"My uncle! That's my brother deliberately asked you to beat me, otherwise where would you be able to beat my brother? ”
"Zhilu said no, that's people's filial piety! Learn a little, otherwise the Black Lotus Hall can accept him as an official doorman?"
"Ha Luha, I naturally know this, so after a beating, I stopped and asked him to quickly resign his identity as an outer disciple! At that time, I thought that no matter how big or small this Black Lotus Hall is, a mere miscellaneous servant, and a role similar to that of a servant, I will definitely get rid of my kid if I ask for it with my face. Who would have thought that before I even found the door, my kid jumped up and directly told the treatment of the outer disciples. Hehe, that scared the other out of me. The middle-aged postmaster said very sarcastically.
"Don't hang our appetite, let's tell me about my brother's treatment?" we really don't know how much my brother's treatment is!" shouted a strong young man below.
"Hehe, okay, I don't have an appetite, that kid told me at the beginning, these miscellaneous servants usually follow the orders of their official disciples, and they really do some miscellaneous things, but in addition to doing miscellaneous work, they must also cultivate. Only those who have achieved success in cultivation and meritorious service can be promoted to full disciples. Oops, yes, I said, I said no. The post chief still wanted to whet his appetite, and a vote boy came up with a sea bowl to toast, and was so frightened that he waved his hand and said, which naturally caused a burst of laughter.
Looking at these boys who were eyeing each other with sea bowls, the post chief said directly without delay this time: "My kid said that when you are a handyman, you can get a monthly salary of 100 taels of gold and 1 healing pill when you join the company. In the future, it will increase according to the number of years. Of course, meritorious service can be directly promoted to a formal disciple. ”
Now although these people vaguely know that the son of the post chief of the road is very well paid to join the Black Lotus Hall, looking at how long it has been since it was rumored that he has become a miscellaneous servant of the Black Lotus Hall, the post chief's family directly bought a street in the county seat. And if you buy a big mansion in the rich area of the city, you can know the road, but the specific amount is really unclear, but now when you hear it, it is actually 100 taels of gold per month?! Everyone was in an uproar, including those travelers.
Even Chen Kang's subordinates couldn't help but exclaim: "Damn! boss." This Black Lotus Hall is too extravagant, isn't it? A miscellaneous servant? He actually gives a salary of 100 taels of gold a month? This is not how money is used, right? You must know that the road is the public price of the provincial capital, and if a young and strong servant is covered with food and shelter, a maximum of one tael of silver a month is very generous! This is actually a hundred taels of gold?
"That's not all! I didn't hear anything other than 100 taels of gold. There is also 1 healing pill! Think about the fact that people can give a handyman a monthly salary of 100 taels of gold, what is the value of the matching pill! This healing pill is definitely not the pill sold in our pharmacies, it is definitely the kind of pill that is circulated in the monk world!"
"Damn, 100 taels of gold a month? How dare you say it so loudly, isn't the post chief afraid of rushing to the house in the middle of the night to rob someone?"
Chen Kang shook his head: "Don't say it, keep listening, he dares to show off like this, and naturally has the ability to protect his family." As soon as these words came out, his subordinates pricked up their ears again, but the envy and jealousy on his face were indispensable, because 100 taels of gold was definitely enough for a medium-sized family in the city to live for more than ten years. Let's just put it this way, they have been working hard with Chen Kang for so many years, and I am afraid that the money they have made is not more than these 100 taels of gold!
It's shocking to say, but the reality is that the polarization is so severe that there is no middle layer at all. The high-level of the Great Qin Shi Lu Realm spent as many taels of gold as they could at every turn, and those high-level people in the monk realm even more spent as many yuan coins as they could at every turn, and in the middle layer, they might still be able to use gold, but most of them used silver as the main currency, and what about the bottom layer? That is copper plates and finely broken silver.
So don't look at Shen Fei's 100 million yuan coins, in fact, it won't have much impact on the people at the bottom, because this yuan coin can't fall into the hands of civilians at all, and it will be digested directly at the top, so it can be said that Shen Fei's worries before were superfluous. As long as the high-level is a world realm, the middle and low-level people are another world, and the people in the high-level world are 1, then the middle and low-level world is 100,000 proportions, and at the high-level, it may not be possible to buy a murder by throwing a spirit stone, but at the bottom, throwing a piece of silver can buy a killer. However, it is not surprising that the high-level can wipe out 100,000 people with a single finger, and the people at the bottom can't do anything if they want to move a single hair at the top, which is why such an extreme division always exists.
"Wow, my brother has now become an official disciple of the Black Lotus Hall, right?"
"Hehe, this, I don't know what to say, that stinky boy didn't tell me, but I asked him to rush back today, everyone celebrates his promotion to an official disciple, if you dare not come back, I will break his leg!" The post chief was embarrassed at first, and then triumphant, obviously he was very proud that he could handle such a powerful son.
"Daddy, please forgive your sins, the child is too late. At that moment, there was a shout from the sky, and when everyone looked up, they were all dumbfounded.
And this time, not only Chen Kang's subordinates opened their mouths and stared at them dumbfounded, but even Chen Kang spilled the wine, but also looked at the sky sluggishly, and muttered to himself: "Damn! It's so extravagant, it's too extravagant!" (to be continued......)
PS: Hey, I was dragged to drink, dizzy and bloated to code out a chapter, and the debt was raised to 10 chapters, which is really depressing
