When everyone heard this, their eyes became weird.

The people present, even the mountain girl who didn't listen to anything outside the window, knew what status the current Mo family was in the eyes of the people of the Danze Empire.

It's not that everyone shouts and spurns them, anyway, the reviews can't be good.

In this way, you still want to participate in the bidding meeting of Jinwu Stone Mine in the name of the inksmith?

Xuan Yuzi asked, "What do you guys think?"

Fang Huaiyuan smiled bitterly: "Let's talk about Xiao Zhai." ”

Zhai Biqing said leisurely: "In fact, our Mo family children also know that the border war has lasted for many years, and a large part of the reason is that the Mo family chose to help the Xiongnu out of their own ideas, so it has long attracted the attention of the imperial government and the opposition. But our roots are still in the Danze Empire after all, and my mother has been trying to find a way to ease relations with the Empire. I contacted her a few days ago, and she was also in favor of participating in the bidding for this Jinwu stone mine. ”

Xuan Yuzi said with a smile: "Your mother's generation of heroines among women, it is rare to be willing to lower your profile so much." ”

Zhai Biqing said: "To be honest, although the Jinwu Stone Mine is valuable, even if it is a large mine with amazing reserves, considering the quality of the ore, as well as the costs of mining and smelting, it is actually not as profitable as imagined. ”

Fang Huaiyuan shook his head when he heard this: "You are really used to monopolizing business, so you can't look down on the so-called 'hard-earned money'." You know, there are a few businesses in the world that can compare the yield with your family's bag. According to me, there are two main reasons why the imperial court is in a hurry to mine this ore.

"First, now is the time when the external art is flourishing, alchemy, alchemy, and spells are rising in an all-round way, and whoever can master the most upstream native resources will have full right to speak; second, Anhua Town was originally one of the main battlefields of the war between the two countries, although the two sides have initially divided the territory, and it is currently under the actual control of the empire, but after all, the peace treaty has not yet been signed and effective, and the Huns can repent at any time. Since the ore vein has been discovered here, it will take advantage of the fact that the news has not yet completely spread out and develop it first, and it will inevitably take the initiative in the subsequent negotiations between the two countries. ”

Xuan Yuzi nodded again and again when he heard this, Fang Huaiyuan is older after all, and he has more experience in the rivers and lakes, he not only knows how to ponder the general trend, but also is willing to start small, he is a talented person who can achieve things.

So, he asked, "In that case, why did you decide to participate in the name of the inksmith?"

Fang Huaiyuan paused and replied: "As Xiao Zhai said, the inksmith just needs a legitimate overture to the imperial court, and the inksmith has money, and can make large-scale mining tools and magic circles, plus the younger generation also has magic tools to measure the taste and reserves of ore, it is the best candidate to mine this vein." As for the attitude of some people in the imperial court, to be honest, is it important? The most practical and effective person in the world is the imperial court. At this time, it is a race against time, and naturally whoever has the ability is on it. ”

When they heard this, they fell silent.

After a while, Qin Lexin said softly: "Then you can't ignore the backs of the hearts of the people in the world." ”

Fang Huaiyuan said: "Of course not. We're also figuring out how to figure it out. If you have any good ideas, please don't hesitate to give us advice. ”

At this time, Youli, who had not spoken much, suddenly said: "It's okay to brush up on favorability." ”

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, he then explained: "Zhai Fat, let your mother let out some blood, take some money out, and open a porridge shed in the local area for a long time in the name of the imperial court and the Mo family to help the township." At the same time, I went to the border army camp to express condolences and help buy clothes, bedding and the like. Then he wrote a big book in the official newspaper. This is called taking the mass line. ”

When Zhai Biqing heard this, he shook his head again and again: "Don't say anything else, the imperial border army has suffered a lot in our machinery and city defense equipment, and it is strange if you don't hate us to death, and you will also condole." If you give more money, people will receive the money and scold them when they arrive, which is completely a loss-making business. ”

You Li didn't defend himself, but said with a smile: "Don't worry, there is also the upper route, that is, the dredging of officials at all levels on Anxi Road." Among the people present, Lexinjia should be able to help somewhat. Coupled with some of the contacts accumulated by the inksmith himself, he will definitely be able to pry the minds of some big people with affection and knowledge. I've already given the idea, how to operate, it's your business. ”

These words made everyone present listen to them.

Fang Huaiyuan slapped his palms and sighed: "What a 'up and down'! Xiaoyou, how did you grow this little brain? At such a young age, there are a lot of ghost ideas." ”

You Li smiled and said, "I learned from Master." ”

When Xuan Yuzi heard this, she was so angry that she almost scolded. Good boy, this is a kind of example, when taking revenge on the teacher, he used you as a shield, right?

I didn't expect it, you kid is quite black-bellied.

Qi is angry, and he can only pinch his nose and cough noncommittally, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

After a while, the next course of action was determined.

After reminding this group of young people to pay attention to the movements of the Firmament Sect at any time, Xuan Yuzi looked at the sky and suddenly asked:

"Is there a place around here to trade cultivation resources?"

Fang Huaiyuan said with a smile: "There is really a place, on the small lonely mountain in the east of the town. There is a large area of flat open space at the top of the mountain, and because it is far away from the town below the mountain, a group of monks who have recently poured in have been exchanging cultivation resources there. It gradually developed into a fixed small square market, and there were people every afternoon to unitary. ”

"Let's go, set up a stall!"

Xuan Yuzi immediately got up and led Youli out of the door.

It was already afternoon, and the master and apprentice hurried to the top of Xiaogu Mountain.

Two rows of stalls, large and small, are arranged crookedly on either side of the middle aisle.

Before setting up a stall, it is natural to understand the market first, so you follow the master and go shopping one by one.

The first stall was selling some fragmentary ores and some low-grade magic weapons, and the stall owner was attentive and enthusiastic, but Xuan Yuzi didn't stop at all, and came directly to the second stall.

This stall sells some common pills and medicinal materials, and there are several exercise books scattered next to it.

After visiting a few shops in turn, I was a little interested, and I didn't think it was very interesting, but I was a master, and I had been very patient to take a look.

Finally came to a stall specializing in rune paper. The stall owner is an old man with a hanging beard, and he is looking down at a book without raising his head.

He was short, and when he lowered his head, he could barely see the yellowed cover with a little oil stain in the man's hand, which turned out to be a book of glamorous words.

Xuan Yuzi looked at the various colors of rune paper that were stacked in categories, yellow, red, white, black, etc., covering almost all the low-level rune papers, and they were all in good condition.

So, he asked, "How do you sell rune paper?"

The old man was looking at the rise, and there was no reaction at all. Anyway, this bird doesn't on the ground, and there is not much difference between business and none. Serious is these good words and sentences, which are really good in my heart, and I will be able to use them when I visit the Qinglou to coax the Qing people in the future.

Seeing this, he was about to shout again, but was stopped by the master who stretched out his hand, and then said in his heart:

"Let's go shopping and come back later. ”

After shopping for another half an hour, Xuan Yuzi bought a large jar of fine cinnabar powder and two large bottles of good-quality runic ink.

You Li followed up with a lot of knowledge, and it was an eye-opener for many strange immortal treasures.

Walking past a small and inconspicuous stall, swimming in the centrifugal lake suddenly became hot. Then he stopped and turned around.

The stall owner is a young man, unkempt like a bird's nest, squatting behind the stall and napping with his hands in his sleeves.

Squatted down and picked up the only item on the dirty blanket.

It's a yellow-brown amber, about the size of an egg, with a spider in it, crystal clear, and very beautiful.

As if hearing the movement, the young man opened his eyes and saw that it was a little Taoist boy, so he said lazily: "If you don't buy it, don't look at it, if you see it, you have to buy it." ”

Wandering pretended not to hear, and looked at it carefully for a while. The heart word is printed in the heart lake, and the meaning is very clear, take it.

You Li had some difficulties, so he contacted Master with his heart: "Master, look. ”

Xuan Yuzi had already walked to the next stall, and when she heard it, she turned back and took the amber.

When the young man saw Xuan Yuzi coming, he immediately stood up and said with a smile: "This Taoist has a good eye. This is what I found in the Tiger Roaring Forest to the west, and it is initially estimated that it must be seven or eight thousand years old. ”

Xuan Yuzi said: "Five thousand years have been in the sky. It's not very useful, at most it can be used as a case to settle the confession, or make a necklace for a woman or something. ”

The boy's face was about to collapse when he heard this.
