Chapter 404: Commission
Qin Wen walked around the open space where the injured monk was, and saw that Kang Cai had already ordered the surviving residents to clean the houses in batches, and put the slain residents into the ground as soon as possible to avoid the plague, and temporarily summoned some monks to prepare for night duty, in case there were mountain bandits coming to harass again.
Qin Wen saw that Kang Cai was arranged in an orderly manner, and couldn't help nodding slightly, it seems that Kang Cai has been the mayor of Qingshui Town for so many years, and he is still relatively prestigious, and at this time, there are more and more injured monks who wake up, and many family members have come to Qin Wen's side to thank him, and Qin Wen is also a little overwhelmed for a while.
At this time, Kang Cai saw that Qin Wen was a little tired of coping, so he hurriedly walked over, arranged for these residents to leave, and then went to Qin Wen's side and said: "Master Qin, now that their injuries have been controlled, I estimate that the meals at home should also be ready, you have been tired from working in the town for a day, so take your subordinates to the house to eat." ”
Qin Wen saw that he didn't have anything to do here, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I still have some things I want to ask Mayor Kang, let's go to the mansion and talk about it in detail." ”
Kang Cai arranged for a few women to take care of the wounded here at this time, and then led Qin Wen and Han Shang and the others back to their homes, the wine and food were really ready, Qin Wen and they drank a few sips of tea, and the table of the Eight Immortals was full of wine and food, Kang Cai got up and let Qin Wen sit on the main seat and said: "Master Qin, please take a seat, the town has suffered such an accident today, the wine and food and the chef are all temporarily new, and they are a little slow to treat you." ”
Qin Wen waved his hand and said, "Mayor Kang doesn't have to be polite, I am also a first-time visitor to the West, and there are many things I still don't understand, so I want to ask Mayor Kang." ”
Kang Cai beckoned everyone to sit down, and then said to Qin Wen: "Qin Ye spoke too politely, you are our great benefactor of Qingshui Town." If there is anything to say, I absolutely know everything, and I can say everything. ”
Qin Wen opened his mouth at this time: "It turns out that I just listened to the monk from here roughly talk about the price of your goods here, and I also know that the Dao pills are easier to sell here, but the specialties of each place are not very clear, and the elixirs and pills I brought here are not ready to be exchanged for spirit stones." I still want to bring some relatively cheap spiritual objects here to our side to sell. ”
"You belong to the country of He Blade here, I don't know what kind of spiritual things are produced in the Dao, and what is the price?"
Kang Cai thought for a while and said: "We are the easternmost part of the country of the He Blade, and the country of the He Blade is also the easternmost place close to the desert on this continent, there are more mineral deposits here, and most of the production is ore for refining magic weapons, if it is said that the magic weapon is not too cheap, because we have fewer refiners here, if you want to buy it, the ore and the smelted metal are relatively cheap." ”
"Like the Xuan-level mid-grade elixir you brought just now. The price of one spar in our place is changed to metal, because the price of various metals is different, but I guess it is cheaper than yours. ”
Qin Wen thought about it in his heart at this time, a Xuan-level mid-grade pill could be traded for a spar here, even if the price of the metal was similar to that of the Expulsion City, the difference between the elixir and the spar could make a lot of money, it seemed that this kind of business between continents was really profitable. No wonder Huang Wuye put the position of deacon instead of competing, but instead thought about how to open up the trade route.
Come to think of it. Qin Wen spoke: "I don't know what ore you produce here, I can trade some with you, and when our caravan comes, you can always have some ore, and I will let them do more trading in the town every time." ”
Kang Cai smiled bitterly and said, "Our Qingshui Town is relatively close to the desert, and there are no mines near here at all, and no ore is produced. There are a few villages next to it, and occasionally they come here to buy some spiritual objects or something, and the town's income is pitiful, so now the town's defense has not been raised, if there is a mine. We have been mining here for a long time, and at least the money we earn can hire a few high-level monks, although horse bandits like this today can't be dealt with, but ordinary mountain bandits don't dare to disturb here. ”
Seeing Qin Wen nodding slightly, Kang Cai continued: "You are like the Shishan Town in front of us, there is only one wind copper mine with poor quality, and now the walls of the village are built to a height of more than three zhang, and a lot of Xuanshi middle-level monks are also employed, as well as a few formation masters, ordinary mountain bandits don't dare to go to them at all." ”
Han Shang thought for a moment at this time and said, "Isn't it good that your He Blade Country didn't refine magic weapons in the past? I heard in the past that you had a national master who was a spirit disciple lower-level refiner, and at that time, many monks from other countries were proud to get the magic weapons he refined, why did it suddenly change now?"
Kang Cai hesitated for a moment and said, " In the past, it was true that there was a national teacher who was better at refining magic weapons, but it fell a few decades ago, and we can't get accurate information about what happened in these remote places, anyway, since the death of that national teacher, the current king is bent on refining the elixir, and he also invited a Danshi of the lower level of the Xuanshi to be the new national teacher, and the taxes have also been changed to the elixir, we are better here, relying on the eastern desert Some places can pick wild elixirs, like those places that do not produce elixirs, they can only spend a lot of money to buy。 ”
"A Dan Master of the lower rank of Xuan Master?" Qin Wen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, he was a Dan Master himself, and he was always more sensitive to such things, so he asked, "Do you know how high the grade of the pill can be refined by the new national teacher?"
Kang Cai shook his head and said: "I still went to the capital more than a hundred years ago, and now I can't leave here as the mayor of the town, these news are all said by the tax collectors who collect taxes back and forth, as for the national teacher refining the elixir, we just heard about it, by the way, last time the tax official said that the national teacher had refined ten furnaces of Xuan-level high-grade pills in one year, and the king was very happy, and rewarded him with a new mansion." ”
Hearing this, Qin Wen couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, a Xuanshi lower-level Dan Master had only refined ten furnaces of Xuan-level high-grade pills in a year's time, and this kind of chance of producing a pill would even be rewarded by the king, in his mansion, even if Han Duan, who had not yet reached the realm of Xuanshi, it was estimated that he could refine about a hundred furnaces within a year.
From this side, Qin Wen also learned that this continent does lack a number of pill refining pills, in the continent where Daqi is located, although there are not many high-level pills, but Xuan-level pills can be bought in an ordinary shop, although it is more troublesome to buy spirit-level pills, but it is not as exaggerated as the country of He Blade.
After getting these news, Qin Wen and the others started to drink, and he also knew that the mayor of a remote town like Kangcai did know a limited amount of Lu Dao, not to mention that they were also preparing to go west, and when they arrived in the metropolis, they should have a deeper and more accurate understanding of these situations.
Since Kang Cai still had to deal with the affairs of the town outside, Qin Wen and the others just finished eating this meal in a hurry, and then went back to their rooms to rest, and the wounded had already been treated, so no one bothered them overnight, Qin Wen didn't have a good rest on the road during this time, and he slept the sweetest night in Qingshui Town.
The next morning, after Qin Wen got up, he took Han Shang to the market where the injured monks were, and after one night, nearly half of the monks moved back to their homes, which showed that their injuries were already under control, and the rest of them were not at all except for some homeless, and there were not many who were recurring.
When Qin Wen saw this situation, he knew that the Dao was the reason why these monks should rarely take pills, if they took pills regularly, although these pills were also useful, but the effect was far less effective.
Qin Wen thought for a moment, now that he has nothing to do here, Qingshui Town is estimated to be rebuilt during this time, and he can't help here, but Kang will have to accompany him every day, plus he has to continue to the west, Qin Wen decided to leave Qingshui Town in the morning.
After finding Kang Cai, Qin Wen told him about his itinerary, Kang Cai originally wanted to stay with Qin Wen here for a few more days, but seeing that Qin Wen had made up his mind, he had to agree, and he also said that Qin Wen would stay for a few more days when he came back and passed through Qingshui Town.
Qin Wen nodded and agreed, leaving Kang Cai with a bottle of Xuan-level high-grade elixir, and a few bottles of Xuan-level lower-grade elixir, and finally under the send-off of the entire Qingshui Town, Qin Wen and Han Shang left Qingshui Town with Xuanshi Monk.
After leaving Qingshui Town, Qin Wen asked Han Shang with some doubts: "Is it that the pills are more expensive here? A Xuan-level mid-grade pill can be exchanged for a spar? Even if we transport the pill from the Expulsion City to here, the profit of one year is equivalent to selling the pill in the city for a hundred years." ”
Han Shang thought for a while and said: "Not all national pills are so expensive, when I left, there were also several national teachers who were pill masters, but they didn't often refine pills, and sometimes they only produced three furnaces and two furnaces a year, but their chance of producing pills was extremely low, so it would take half a year, and the rest of the time was mainly based on his own cultivation." ”
"This situation has led to a surge in the price of pills, as far as I know, even in the country with the cheapest pills, a Xuan-level mid-grade pill requires a minimum of eighty high-grade spirit stones, when I was in the City of Expulsion, I often thought that if one day I could return here with a caravan and earn a year's money, it would basically be enough for me to break through the first-level realm. ”
Qin Wen smiled slightly: "Aren't you just here with a caravan now? I will be ready to hand over the affairs here to you in the future, as long as you manage it carefully, I will give you a commission of five percent every time you earn spirit stones, and this amount should not be a problem to maintain your cultivation."
