While applauding Baihuamen's lofty ambitions, Gu Zuo must thank Zhang Fugui and reveal the news to Gu Zuo in advance, which actually helped Gu Zuo a lot, Gu Zuo knew Baihuamen's intentions, and in the next step of cooperation between the two sides, he would not be passive.

Of course, this is all an afterthought, and now he is more worried that the other party will abandon the main business for the side business, so he grasps the key point: "How does Baihuamen plan to quote?"

Zhang Fugui said with a smile: "Senior Brother Gu, don't worry, although Baihuamen pays more attention to the territory of Southern Wuzhou, but if there is no spirit stone vein to make up for it, the burden of 10,000 yuan and 5,000 spirit stones per year is really not light, so Baihuamen will never give up the ...... of the spirit stone vein."

After a pause, he quoted a price: "10,000 spirit stones, 60,000 guan." ”

This quotation shows that the annual output of the spirit stone vein judged by Baihuamen is about 30,000 to 40,000 pieces.

"Senior Brother Zhang, can the veins of Nanwu Mountain reach 30,000 pieces?"

"This is our judgment, I don't know exactly how we arrived at this number, but I heard that the head of the family invited a master. ”

There are too many masters in the world, no one can say who is really tall and who is falsely high, so Gu Zuo can't judge based on this sentence alone, but he prefers the output of 30,000 spirit stones per year, or even higher.

"I just don't know the judgment of other sects, does Baihuamen have a way to get some news?"

"There are still twenty days before the official bidding, we will find a way to inquire, and Senior Brother Gu should also try to go to activities, we will meet every three days. ”

"Good!"

"Also, the offer I just said must not be revealed, even if Elder Tu and them can't say it. ”

"Senior brother, don't worry!"

When Zhang Fugui was sent out of the mountain gate, Gu Zuo suddenly remembered and asked: "Every time a mineral vein is discovered, the Chongxuan Department will send someone to inspect it to determine the amount to be handed over." Although this time it is to let each family bid for the amount to be paid, the Longquan Taoist Academy must always know in mind. Senior Brother Zhang, have you heard of anyone being sent down?"

Zhang Fugui shook his head: "This matter has always been confidential, and we have also inquired in many ways, but there is no news so far." Senior Brother Gu has a friendship with Daochang Wu......"

Gu Zuo hurriedly smiled and said: "Daoist Wu is a person, who doesn't know about the entire Nanzhao, this kind of thing, he will definitely not disclose it." ”

Zhang Fugui sighed and said, "Indeed...... If Senior Brother Gu can find a way to find out, you can inform me, and we will take action from Baihuamen......"

Zhang Fugui didn't say it explicitly, and Gu Zuo didn't want to ask what it was, after inquiring about who this Taoist chief was, with the means of Baihuamen, he thought that he would have a good chance to get first-hand information.

After seeing Zhang Fugui leave, Gu Zuo began to ponder. What is the relationship between him and Wu Daochang, others don't know, but his own family knows, and when this kind of sensitivity, it is difficult to meet him. However, since the bidding really began, Gu Zuo has always had a figure in his mind, that is, I don't know if the Lingyuan Dao Master who had a flight accident in Nanwu Mountain was sent by the Chongxuan Department to survey the ore vein?

Gu Zuo vaguely remembered that at that time, everyone in the Dongting Sect said that he came from the Chongxuan Bureau, and if this was the case, then he was very likely to be the one who came to investigate the ore veins. Of course, to understand this problem, you must first compare the lists.

In the evening, Chengshan Tiger returned to the mountain, his sales performance today was average, and he did not negotiate any big deals, and the reason for not negotiating was because the output restricted sales. When he was thinking about this problem, he was invited by Gu Zuo to Shangshanping.

"What's wrong with the owner?"

"Are you familiar with the Longquan Daoist Academy?"

Cheng Shanhu thought for a while and said: "I can't say that I am familiar with it, and I can't say that I am not familiar with it, I have heard the names of the prison and the three capitals in the Taoist Academy, and the eight deacons have seen half of them, and I don't know the rest." ”

"In the Longquan Dao Academy, is there a Lingyuan Dao Chief? It should be a Jindan early stage, just entering the Jindan. ”

"Lingyuan?haven't heard of ......?"

"Can you find a list of all the Taoist priests in the Longquan Daoist Academy?"

“...... I'll try ......"

"Be quick!"

Two days later, Cheng Shanhu got the list of all the Taoist priests in the Longquan Taoist Academy, and Gu Zuo asked him, "Is the list complete?"

Cheng Shanhu said: "I spent three times, from a fireworker monk who resigned, although he has been resigning for two years, but he still keeps in touch with his old friends in the Taoist Academy, and is very familiar with the situation in the Taoist Academy, this list, he promises to be up-to-date, at least until the end of last month." ”

Gu Zuo opened the roster, and when he looked at the pages, there were a total of one hundred and six names on it, of which forty-two were Daoist priests and sixty-four were fireworkers.

After each name, there is a corresponding function, age and cultivation, which is clear at a glance.

At the very end, there is no spiritual source.

Without this name, it does not mean that he must be the person sent by the Chongxuan Administration to investigate the spirit stone vein, but since this person appeared in Nanwu Mountain, it is more likely.

"What does this fireworker do now?"

"This person's surname is Wang, they all call him Wang Huoju, and he has no talent for cultivation, he has worked in the Taoist courtyard for 20 years, and after the expiration of the year, he resigned according to the rules, and bought hundreds of acres of land on the edge of the county town, and became a rich man. ”

Gu Zuo thought about it, this kind of person can't enter cultivation, and he doesn't have any special talents, otherwise he wouldn't quit, but although he has no talent, his own twenty-year career in the Fire House is a fortune, which can be seen from the fact that he was able to record such a list in two days.

Therefore, he decided to let Cheng Shanhu make a special trip to try to persuade this Wang Huoju to go out of the mountain and be the outer consultant of the Huaixian Pavilion for consultation.

Chengshan Tiger moved quite neatly, and soon invited Wang Huoju to Gengjin Mountain. Gu Zuo chatted with Wang Huoju in the Yin Zu Hall for a while, and roughly figured out the reason why this Cidao Huoju was willing to join the Huaixian Pavilion. This person is now over forty, and when he is in the prime of life, he returns to his hometown to "recuperate" for two years, and he is really bored, so he has always wanted to find something to do.

The two sides hit it off and signed a contract immediately, Wang Huoju became the consultant of Huaixian Pavilion, Gu Zuo allocated a wing room for him to move in, and promised him three days off every ten days, so that he could go home to take care of the fields, and the salary offered also made Wang Huoju more satisfied - two times a month.

Since they are all his own people, Gu Zuo is not polite, and when he said about the matter of the Lingyuan Daoist, Wang Huoju immediately patted his chest and said that he must find out this person for the Gu Pavilion Master.

Time was tight, so Gu Zuo set aside the only two horses in the Huaixian Pavilion and asked Chengshan Tiger to make a special trip to escort Wang Huoju to Luofu County.

Luofu County is relatively far away, and it takes seven or eight days to go back and forth, Gu Zuo estimates that it will take seven or eight days, and the news of Longquan Daoist Academy can only be handed over to Wang Huoju, if Wang Huoju can't do it, then there is no way.

In addition to the Longquan Daoist Academy, Gu Zuo is also thinking about how to connect with the Dongting faction, in fact, the importance of this line is even greater than that of the Longquan Daoist Academy, after all, their family is the seller.
