Elder Jiang said that the ancestral courtyard of Huaixian Pavilion was located in Xiaogu Mountain on the bank of Ruoye Creek, Huang Shenyan was stunned, and then he remembered that there seemed to be such a sentence in the "Book of Sects in the World", but now that Huaixian Pavilion is spreading in Nanzhao, she has no impression of this sentence for a long time. If it weren't for Elder Jiang's reminder, she really couldn't remember.

But so what? This is not the reason for Gu Zuo to get involved in Huiji County!

"Ancestral Court, really laugh off your big teeth! Even if the Huaixian Pavilion used to practice in Huiji County, but now it is a Daoist Pavilion in Southern Wu Prefecture, what does it have to do with Huiji County?"

Gu Zuo smiled and said: "I'm really sorry, Huaixian Pavilion is now located in Nanwu Prefecture, which is true, but the card ticket is still from Huiji County, and it is still naturalized in Huiji County, and it has never moved to Nanzhao." Therefore, we are a native of Huiji County, and it is only natural that we pledge to Huiji County. If Senior Huang doesn't believe it, there is a Chongxuan Department to testify, and you will know as soon as you ask. By the way, the person who handled the card ticket for my Huaixian Pavilion back then was Sima Tianshi, who was the supervisor of Longrui Palace at the time. ”

Zhang Wanfu of Maoshan, Shen Jiefu of the Kuocang faction, and Elder Jiang of the Dongting faction were of course happy to hear this, and they each smiled when they heard it. The more financial resources Zuoshenmen consumed in Huiji County, the less ability they had to compete with the rest of Jiangdong's prefectures and counties, which was a good thing for them.

Shen Jiefu even smiled at Gu Zuo: "It turned out to be a fellow villager, and the owner of the Gu Pavilion will go back to his hometown more often in the future, and when the time comes, I will definitely sweep the couch to welcome him." ”

Gu Zuo said respectfully: "The power of Master Shen's sword, the younger generation has benefited a lot. ”

Shen Jiefu only thought that he was talking about the battle of the beast tide in Southern Wuzhou, but he thought that it was many years ago, and smiled politely.

Not to mention that the cards and the ancestral court are in Huiji County, even if Gu Zuo does not occupy one of them, it is in line with the rules to bid for Huiji County, so Li Mi asked directly: "Huaixian Pavilion 26,000 spirit stones, is there anything else?"

Huang Shenyan gritted his teeth and said: "Twenty-eight thousand, this is the last offer......"

"Thirty thousand!" Before he finished speaking, Gu Zuo quoted again.

Huang Shenyan wanted to learn from Gu Zuo's unwritten, pointed at Gu Zuo and said, "...... You...... Junior, good!"

Gu Zuo showed his firm determination to bid for Huiji County, and said to Li Yu: "Archmage, if Gu Mou heard correctly, Senior Huang has already said that 28,000 spirit stones are the last offer of Zuo Shenmen, can you award Jijun to Huaixian Pavilion?"

As soon as the words fell, Huang Shenyan broke his promise and became fat: "Thirty-eleven thousand!"

Gu Zuo smiled and chatted casually with the precise Dao Leader beside him: "Dao Leader thinks, do I still want to increase the price?"

The precise Dao Leader calculated for a moment and said, "You have exceeded the profit and loss point of Huiji County by fifteen thousand spirit stones, you have to be prepared to lose money, huge losses." ”

Gu Zuo said: "I am willing to lose money...... Thirty-two thousand. ”

At this moment, Huang Shenyan really can't be calm, in several high-class states and counties in Jiangnan Dongdao, their target is Huiji County, if Huiji County is also snatched away, there are only those medium-sized and inferior states and counties left to compete for.

The consequences may not be visible in two or three years, but if you look at it in ten or eight years, it is very likely that Zuoshenmen will gradually fall behind from the ranks of the major sects in the world, and it will no longer be able to be compared with the major sects in Jiangnan.

Therefore, they are determined to win.

When Huang Shenyan thought for a long time, he made up his mind in Li Yu's urging voice, and was ready to make Gu Zuo retreat with a fierce bidding.

"Thirty-five thousand!" The price was increased by three thousand spirit stones at a time, and Huang Shenyan moved the real fire.

Gu Zuo immediately followed: "Thirty-six thousand!" When this price was quoted, his back was wet.

Before, Zuo Shenmen handed over the Chongxuan Department with a quota of 30,000 yuan every year, which means that the annual output of their spirit stone veins is about 70,000 or 80,000, Gu Zuo's quotation is a severe test for Zuo Shenmen, in case the other party really feels sorry for the spirit stone and does not want to meet Ji County, Gu Zuo has to fill it with 20,000 spirit stones every year, and it is Gu Zuo who is crying.

Huang Shenyan stared at Gu Zuo, and Gu Zuo also stared at Huang Shenyan, testing each other's will.

"Forty thousand!" Huang Shenyan spoke again, and then added: "The last offer, this time I am serious." ”

Gu Zuo nodded slowly: "Understood, I lost...... Then let it be given to Senior Huang. ”

The number of pledges from Huiji County climbed to 40,000 spirit stones per year, which made all the monks present gasp, it was too high.

Of course, this number is high, so high that Gu Zuo is very satisfied, and if he takes a few more Zhongzhou and Xiazhou, Zuoshenmen's own spirit stone production will have to be lost to most of it, and if you count the spirit stones needed by the disciples for cultivation, it will almost be consumed. If you want to do something else, you can only rely on buying spirit stones in the market to maintain it.

It can be said that taking Huiji County will be a big hole for Zuoshenmen, and when Gu Zuo bids for the remaining middle and lower prefectures in Lingnan West Road, Huang Shenyan should not have the strength to make trouble again.

Sure enough, Gu Zuo's bidding for Jijun made all the sects cautious, and they did not dare to meddle in the sphere of influence near other mountain gates, and the bidding became smoother and smoother, and most of them were sold at the reserve price.

Gu Zuo soon took Huzhou, Tianzhou, Cage Zhou, Yingzhou, Tangzhou, and Wu'an Prefecture, of which Huzhou and Tianzhou were Zhongzhou, and the rest were Xiazhou.

Su Fen and the Precise Daoist also got their own divided territory, and because they ate too much, the Precise Daoist carefully calculated, and also abandoned Luzhou, and this Xiazhou was also taken down by Gu Zuo.

So far, Gu Zuo, together with Southern Wu Prefecture, has obtained a total of two and a half Zhao Kingdoms and eight states, and for this purpose, he needs to pledge 87,000 spirit stones to the Chongxuan Administration every year. Gu Zuo calculated the accounts, before the separation, counting the ore veins, the annual approved amount of this land was nearly 220,000 yuan, and now it is not even half, which is okay.

But if he didn't really earn it, it depended on whether Gu Zuo could make the Black Mountain Edict and the Tonghai Edict obediently "pay the grain", if the two edicts did not hand over the "public grain" to him, then he would lose more than 30,000 spirit stones every year.

The four departments of Montenegro are good to say, everyone has a good relationship, they have a verbal agreement before entering Beijing, and they will discuss the reduction and exemption of spirit stones on their behalf, there is a foundation in this regard, and they will talk about it after they go back, so as not to the point of tearing their faces, and strive for a win-win situation.

It's not easy to do the Tonghai Gang, although the Tonghai Gang suffered heavy losses during the beast tide, but the gang leader Kusang Dao didn't die, this is the Yuan Infant Gao Xiu, it's very difficult to get. Gu Zuo hadn't dealt with him before, so he didn't know if this person was good at talking, but in any case, if he wanted a Yuanying Gao Xiu to bow his head to him and obediently pay tribute, he would have a headache when he thought about it.

When he was pondering his own thoughts, he overheard Li Mi report "Tongchuan County" in the palace.

Tongchuan County is located in the southeast corner of Jiannan Road, in the gap between the Qingcheng faction, the Chenshan faction and Luofu Zhao, belonging to Zhongzhou, with a reserve price of 5,000 spirit stones, Gu Zuo immediately retracted his chaotic thoughts and paid serious attention.

It stands to reason that Tongchuan County should be auctioned like many states and counties just now, such as the Laoshan faction and the Tianmen faction, which are both in the top 50 major sects, and their strength is strong, although the Wangwu faction monopolizes Henan Province, but for various considerations, the states and counties where these two sects are located have been auctioned, and various factors are taken into account.

Li Mi waited for a moment and no one answered, so he was about to announce the next one, but at this moment, he suddenly heard someone respond: "Five thousand spirit stones, Chenshan Sect pledges!"

It was Zhou Ping'an, the elder of the Chenshan Sect, who spoke.
