In Gaoliu County, there are many shops where you can buy daily necessities and some rare items, but most towns and villages naturally do not have such a complete range.

, and naturally followed.

Gaoliu County, every year before the end of the year, set up a large gathering, nearby towns, and even merchants from neighboring counties will come, very lively and prosperous.

But outside of the New Year, at the end of June every year, before the autumn harvest, there is also a ***.

The scale is not as good as the one at the end of the year, but it is also very lively.

As soon as the sky was bright, Li Yuan heard the chaotic voices of people, and during the big gathering, all the urban areas were very lively.

Get up, stand on the pile, wash up......

Li Yuan waited for the light to rise before he got up and rushed to the market.

Vendors from all walks of life set up their stalls early, and as soon as the morning dawns, the streets and alleys are full of pedestrians.

In addition to the people in the city, the people of the nearby towns and villages will also come in advance, bringing the accumulated silver to buy the things needed by the family.

Li Yuan looked for a stall early, the stall owner was a familiar face, and when he saw him from afar, he began to look around.

As soon as Li Yuan sat down, the small table was already full.

Rice porridge, hot soup, steamed buns, meat buns, side dishes, and a plate of twenty or thirty eggs.

Since he practiced martial arts, Li Yuan's food has been very large, and after the blood and qi circulation, the amount of food has increased several times, and he is only half full at this table.

But he didn't order any more, settled the bill, and walked to the inner city, buying some snacks and the like from time to time on the way, and before he arrived in the inner city, he was already full.

"Prices have gone up a lot."

Li Yuan calculated, he actually ate a small two dollars of silver along the way, although he ate a large amount of food, but also felt the change in prices.

On the side of the road, there are also people talking about this, it seems that the imperial court has increased the commercial tax?

"Little brother, do you still want a sickle?"

Li Yuan heard a familiar voice, and when he looked back, it was the young man from the pair of grandchildren he had bought the three-yuan sword and sickle years ago.

Only this time I didn't see the old man, but with a dirty little boy, looking at him timidly at the moment.

"Is that you? Where's your grandfather?"

"Do you remember me?"

The young man sighed, "A few months ago, the bandits of the Viper Gang fled to our village, and my grandfather intervened to stop him, but he was slashed and not rescued."

"Mourning."

Li Yuan walked to the front of the stall.

This time the stall is much larger than the one a year ago, there is no shortage of all kinds of old things, Li Yuan glanced over, there are two non-advanced sickles, and the control effect is very poor.

There are very few good things everywhere, and Li Yuan doesn't care.

"Don't worry......

Seeing Li Yuan shaking his head, the young man gritted his teeth, turned around and trotted a few steps, and pulled out a rusty iron rod from under the rags covered by the donkey cart not far away.

"This is an antiquity left by the elders in my village, at least more than ten catties in weight, can you look at it and give a price?"

The young man came with an iron rod.

Is there really something good?

Li Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.

【Predator Trident (1st Order)】

[The stained rust was once stained with blood, and its lord once held a battle array to kill the enemy, and every time he must be the first, he drank blood...... After breaking, it was abandoned and rust gradually ......]

【Condition: None】

[Palm Control Effect: Anticipate the Enemy First]

Half a year apart, Li Yuan would not be surprised to see a first-order weapon, but he couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw the effect of that control.

Anticipate the enemy?

This seems to be related to the actual fight?

However, he was more curious about what kind of village they were.

It's the Sanyuan Army again, and it's the Iron Army, the ancient battlefield?

"Three taels of silver, take this iron rod!"

"Three-two?"

Li Yuan turned around, this trident was of some use to him, but not to others, more than ten catties of scrap iron, not worth a penny of silver.

"Two-two, two-two."

Seeing that Li Yuan frowned and wanted to leave, the young man lowered the price again and again, and in the end, Li Yuan took away the long stick and the other two broken items on the stall for two coins.

These two items are quite strange, a broken hat, a robe, all of which are not in shape, but the effect of the palm is very interesting.

【Water-based*2】

Fisher two-piece set?

"Fangjing Village? If you have time, you can go around......

With three remnants of soldiers in his pocket, Li Yuan felt that maybe the nearby towns and villages were also worth visiting.

Maybe the really good things won't stay there, but for him, the remnants can also be controlled, but the effect is often less.

A broken blade will have at least half less control effect than an intact blade of the same tier.

"Is there really anyone staring?"

After turning around the inner city, Li Yuan found that even at this time, there were still people staring at Tongda Qian Zhuang and several pawnshops, and he was a little surprised.

Qin Xiong has been dead for a few months, and I heard that Qiu Dadu is missing, these officials are so dedicated?

"So dedicated?"

Li Yuan frowned in his heart.

But he had been prepared, and he was not disappointed, and after a circle, he left the inner city.

On the way back to Chai Yufang, he saw Liang Ashui, who had an excellent complexion.

The person was dressed in a short fight, with a burly figure, a rough complexion, and a cold and hard face, giving people a feeling that no one should enter, and he walked in stride, and his momentum was already a bit like that of Qin Xiong before.

"Qi and blood are very strong, but they are not as good as Qin Xiong......

Glancing at the fish basket he was carrying, Li Yuan's heart moved slightly and greeted him.

"Are you?"

Liang Ashui frowned at first, looked at it a few times, and seemed to recognize something: "You are Li Yuan?"

"Do you recognize me?"

Li Yuan didn't pay much attention to it, just looked at the fish basket: "Is this a spirit fish?"

For the spirit fish, Li Yuan was very curious.

In the book, he saw that the so-called spirit fish is a different species among fish, which is very rare and often has unusual effects.

"Two horn pomfrets, each over four pounds. Well...... I gave these two fish to an old man, and they can't be sold."

Liang Ashui said, pausing slightly:

"I heard that you are the apprentice with the best forging talent in the forging shop over the years, you help me fight a high-grade blade, and I will beat you two spirit fish,

I'll prepare the iron myself!"

Superior blades?

Li Yuan thought for a moment and responded, "Two? Four pounds, yes."

Ox horn pomfret is a great blood and qi spirit fish, one catty and one or two, two catties and four catties, almost nine taels of silver, this business is not a loss.

After all, the spirit fish is very rare, and he is not the only one who can use high-quality weapons in the forging shop.

"If it's not enough for four pounds, I'll give you three!"

Liang Ashui agreed very simply and left with the fish basket.

A fish is only a few taels of silver, Li Yuan sighed a little, for last year, he didn't even dare to think about it.

"Spirit fish, I don't know what it tastes like? Well, I'll go to the edge of Bishui Lake for a spin when I have time, and maybe I can catch a few spirit fish."

Carrying the remnants of the soldiers, Li Yuan walked towards Shengjinfang:

"Redeem the silver ticket first!"

……

There are tens of thousands of households in Gaoliu County, and there are 16 in the urban area, with 200 taels of silver tickets and 200 taels of jewelry, so naturally there are various ways to redeem them.

Even if many people were stared at, Li Yuan didn't feel any difficulty.

Money is not successful, pawnshops are not successful, jewelry stores, jewelry stores, silk and satin villages...... Waiting, it's nothing.

Silver ticket jewelry has always been hard currency.

The blacksmith shop controls the ironsmith trade in many nearby counties, but under it, there are naturally some blacksmith shops that are not very large-scale.

In the Shengjin Fang, there are many small blacksmith shops.

Every year, the people of the nearby towns and villages are all at the time of the big gathering

He will drive ox carts and sell all the iron tools and iron materials that the forging shops look down on.

There are also merchants with sufficient foundation, who come here to sell after acquisition.

Many of them can afford to eat his business of four hundred taels.

Among them, Li Yuan had already explored the way, and before noon, he had bought a thousand catties of wrought iron, of which pearls and agate were discounted by two hundred and twenty taels, and by the way, he exchanged a silver ticket.

Then, seeing the merchants who had gained a lot of money out of the city, they turned back.

"This order, at least eight or nine taels of silver, but it is convenient, and there is no danger to safety, so that it will not be found by the yamen."

Piling wrought iron under the bed, Li Yuan was a little painful, but he was barely satisfied.

At least, the materials for the promotion of the commander have solved more than half.

With the hammer in hand, Li Yuan stood on the stake with anticipation in his heart:

"Tomorrow, Master Xun will change to ten taels of gold, just wait for the shopkeeper Cao to come back and take the red gold, and the commander of the soldiers can be promoted to the third rank!"

……

……

Early the next morning, Li Yuan went to Zhang Ben's place, ready to exchange ten taels of gold, the old Zhang Tou took good care of him, ten to one exchange, at least twenty taels of silver.

But there are conditions.

"You'll have to get another high-quality jasper knife!"

Lao Zhangtou did not change his words, and he had a posture of not changing if he did not agree.

"It's okay to fight, but don't hit the jasper knife."

Li Yuan was a little helpless.

Zhang Ben didn't know how many times he mentioned it these days, and he didn't want to refuse all the time, which was why he should go down to Liang Ashui.

"As long as it's of the highest quality, if you can make a Qimen weapon, the old man will be even happier!"

Seeing that the baby apprentice should be down, Zhang Ben had a smile on his face:

"Don't blame the master for forcing you, if you don't hurry up to accumulate experience and skills, in which year and month can you create the best weapon?"

"You're right, it's the disciple who is slacking off."

Li Yuan coaxed the old man with kind words, at least he had to take the gold first.

"You little slippery!"

Zhang Ben laughed and scolded, but he really couldn't get angry.

"Don't worry, in a year or two at most, the disciple will give you a handful!"

Li Yuan Zhengse said.

With the addition of the Great Perfection level forging technique, his forging technique has improved every day, and in a year at most, he will be sure that he will completely digest this master craftsman's hammer and break through the Great Perfection in forging technique!

"A year or two? If it can be built in ten years, the old man will be satisfied."

Where did Zhang Ben believe this.

The hammer method has some bonuses for forging, but forging is not only the hammer method, from beneficiation to quenching, and even quenching water temperature, water has requirements, where can be mastered in a year and a half.

"What if you type?"

"If you type......

Zhang Ben almost blurted out, reacted, and slapped it over:

"I know that I think about the old man, and I know it! Go and strike the iron!"

"Gotcha!"

After taking a beat, Li Yuan didn't feel pain or itching, smiled, and turned back to the forging room.

He really likes this old man.
