The original Taoist has always wanted to get Gu Zuo's card ticket, in Nanzhao, especially in Montenegrin Zhao, what does it mean to have a serious card ticket, Gu Zuo has not yet fully figured out, but just from the current feeling, there are indeed many conveniences.

Gu Zuo didn't delay, and didn't speak again, in case the original Taoist continued to increase the weight, it would be bad to look good if he refused again, so he said bluntly: "The original Taoist chief, I have already signed the deed in the household division, and the Huaixian Pavilion will officially set up a branch in Gengjinshan on the first day of the first month of next year." ”

Yuan Dao Chang was very disappointed, was silent for a moment, and said, "Then congratulations to Xiao Gu." He has changed a lot in southern Xinjiang in recent years, and he is also a figure who can afford to let go, so he quickly put aside this loss and asked: "Gengjin Mountain?" seems to be a little familiar. ”

After listening to Gu Zuo's introduction, Fang smiled and said, "If there is nothing urgent at that time, I must go and ask for a drink." Xiao Gu came to my Pingtai Mountain Villa this time, did he invite me on a special trip?"

"First, I specially invited the former Taoist to participate in the ceremony, and secondly, I also wanted to cooperate with the original Taoist chief, I wanted to sign a long-term contract with the original Taoist to buy Yuanyang grass every year. ”

"How much do you need?"

"At least a hundred pounds. ”

Yuan Dao Chang was curious: "Do you need so much?"

Yuanyang grass helps to strengthen the essence and can be added to many kinds of elixirs, but its positioning is to assist the spirit grass, not the main medicine, plus it has just been discovered for a long time, so the total demand is not very high, and it is not easy to sell out eight hundred catties every year. Now it has become the main medicine in Gu Zuoxin's elixir, which is something that Yuan Dao Chang couldn't imagine.

Gu Zuo didn't pick it out, but said: "Let's take a look first, I'm going to focus on alchemy in the Huaixian Pavilion, and I need the support of the original Dao Master." My idea is to sign a contract, every year I buy at least 100 catties at a price of 600 wen, if Pingtai Taizhuang can provide 200 catties, my purchase price will rise to 610 wen, in the same way, for every extra 100 catties, I will increase by 10 wen. ”

According to Gu Zuo's proposal, if Pingtai Mountain Villa sold all of its current output to Gu Zuo, the purchase price would reach 670 wen per catty, which was 70 wen higher than today.

The original governor immediately began to calculate.

What Gu Zuo proposed was an incentive acquisition measure, and the more Yuanyang grass the Yuan Dao Chang provided, the higher Gu Zuo's purchase price would be.

He now has this capital for at least a year, if the original Dao Chang is really willing to contract all the output to Gu Zuo, Gu Zuo's acquisition money in the second year will definitely not worry about the source - a monopoly has been formed, he doesn't even need to alchemy, just resell it, the only thing he needs to do is to mention the price.

If the original Daoist didn't want to be underwritten by Gu Zuo, and wanted to earn a preferential price, he needed to immediately start increasing the number of spiritual plants in Yuanyang Grass and increase the yield as much as possible, which was also what Gu Zuo was willing to see, what he wanted to refine was a spirit pill that ordinary people could take, and he needed a large amount of Yuanyang Grass.

After thinking about it for a long time, the original Taoist and Gu Zuo completed the signing of the contract, and next month, the Pingtai Pavilion will issue a hundred catties of Yuanyang grass to the Huaixian Pavilion.

The source of the main drug has been solved, and the remaining dozen or so ordinary herbs are about to start preparation. Gu Zuo returned to Montenegro County and began to scan the medicinal materials in the market, buying not only the medicine in the prescription, but also more than ten other kinds of medicine, the main purpose of which was to prevent people from speculating on the prescription.

Don't be afraid to buy more medicinal materials, just stock them up, medicinal materials are not afraid of no market.

Gu Zuo swept the medicinal herbs on a large scale, and soon used up the loan limit of the profit bank, so he deposited three hundred yuan again, showing his true character as a local tyrant. When Zhong Senjun learned the news, his evaluation of him went to the next level.

By November, the construction of the lower hill has been completed for the most part, and the two sets of courtyards have been built, including doors and windows, steps and corridors. The work of the carpenters has also progressed rapidly, and the tables, chairs, benches, books, cabinets, beds, etc. have been completed, and now what is lacking are carved beams and painted columns.

The work of carving beams and painting pillars is a delicate job, it takes time, and it is not something that ordinary carpenters can complete, Gu Zuo actually doesn't attach much importance to this process, so he left half of the masons and carpenters to continue to finish, and the other half invited them to the upper hill.

Gu Zuo planned to build an inner gate here, and the initial plan was to build a few wooden houses, scattered all over the upper hill, these wooden houses are presented in the form of pavilions, including five houses, a scripture building, these buildings are hidden between the grass and forests, and then make a few small pavilions, stone tables and chairs, etc., which are more natural and harmonious. The alchemy room and the medicinal herb storage room are not going to be built, and when the time comes, the alchemy in the secret passage will be safe and confidential.

The amount of work on the mountain is relatively small, and two months can ensure that the completion is still rich, Gu Zuo also gave them a small job, and surrounded the half acre of medicinal field that Liu Wu ploughed out with a thick fence, and he wanted to try to grow elixir here.

The construction of the Huaixian Pavilion was in order, and the first batch of Yuanyang grass from the original Taoist chief was also sent, and the five Zhao brothers who escorted the Yuanyang grass were also merchants who were running around in Pingtai Mountain Villa all year round.

One hundred catties of Yuanyang grass was accepted by Gu Zuo, and sixty tickets were issued for them - this year, Pingtai Pavilion could only take out so many goods, so Gu Zuo could only pay according to this price. When the deal was reached, Gu Zuo took them to visit Gengjin Mountain, which was being built on a large scale, and introduced them to the five-to-ten-year planning blueprint of Huaixian Pavilion, which firmly laid the impression that Huaixian Pavilion was strong and idealistic.

That night, Gu Zuo held a banquet in front of the main hall of Xiashanping to entertain them, and Zhao Da suddenly said: "Gu Pavilion Master, the mining right of the spiritual stone vein of Nanwu Mountain, are you interested in joining forces with my owner?"

Gu Zuo smiled: "Are you still thinking about the Spirit Stone Mine?"

Zhao Da sighed: "Who doesn't want to? As long as you get the mining rights, the brothers will concentrate on cultivation and eat and drink from now on." ”

Gu Zuo asked, "What kind of joint method?"

Zhao Dadao: "The two of us have joined forces, Pingtai Mountain Villa has made up 4,000 guan, Huaixian Pavilion has made up 4,000 guan, with these 8,000 guan, the rest will be easy to do!"

Gu Zuo asked: "Four thousand guan, can Pingtai Mountain Villa take it out?"

Zhao Da hesitated: "We will find a way." ”

Gu Zuo asked again: "In addition to the Huaixian Pavilion, can you find other families to join forces?"

Zhao Dadao: "Of course, but you still have to Huaixian Pavilion." ”

"Why?"

"Huaixian Pavilion has a ticket, but if Nanzhao has a vein to bid for sale, it must be a Zongmen Daoist Pavilion with a ticket to be eligible. ”

Gu Zuo smiled and said nothing, and after a while, Zhao Da also shook his head with a smile.

Huaixian Pavilion has issued cards and funds to account for half of it, so why should he join forces with Pingtai Pavilion? But if Zhao Da Songkou only occupies a small share, he is neither willing nor has the power to nod.

Of course, this matter can only be stopped, Gu Zuo has a ticket, but he definitely doesn't have that strength, let alone four thousand, a thousand can't be taken out. Even if the two families come up with 8,000 guan, who can guarantee that the next tens of thousands of guan can be made up? Even if pie falls from the sky and the bid is successful, what is bought is only Nanwu Mountain, how much is the reserve of the spirit stone vein, where to mine it, and how to mine it, it will take endless money to spend money in it.

Buying a mine is to go to the gambling table, winning the bet earns a lifetime, and losing the bet loses the bottoms. Judging from the current situation, Gu Zuo feels that he does not have the capital to go to the table.
