Anqing Mansion is adjacent to the big river, and after crossing the river, it is the real sense of the Jiangnan, so Anqing Mansion is the last big city from Jiangbei to Jiangnan, and it can also be regarded as the southernmost part of Jiangbei region.

After Li Xuandu calculated his life in his spare time, he continued to stroll through the streets of Anqing Mansion City, his mood was empty, although he was in the red dust, it was a rare moment of peace.

The only fly in the ointment is that after Li Xuandu used the "human world" once, not to mention the sea of qi turning over the rivers and the sea, the corrosion of the "anti-heavenly tribulation" on the body is getting deeper and deeper, and it used to take only half an hour to suppress it, but now it takes an hour, like peeling off the cocoon, which is extremely exhausting.

In order not to be seen by Liu Chen, he deliberately said a time limit of one hour, just to resolve the backlash of the "anti-heavenly calamity" during this time, but Li Xuandu also knew that the more ruthless the suppression at this time, the more violent the next backlash would be, and the rebound in the future might not even be suppressed by all his might.

Fortunately in the misfortune, Li Xuandu has learned a lot of things, from "Xuanwei True Technique" to "Sitting and Forgetting Zen Gong", and then to "Pure Yang Purple Qi", it can be said that Buddhism and Taoism are cultivated, and there are many ineffable benefits for the body and qi, and it is not yet the time to exhaust all the resources.

An hour later, Li Xuandu and Liu Chen converged in front of the South City Gate, and at this time, the qi in Li Xuandu's body had completely calmed down, just like a quiet lake, without the slightest wave. Liu Chen had a small burden on his body, carrying it on his back and tying a knot on his chest. After all, not everyone's Sumeru treasure can be as big as the "eighteenth floor", and the smallest Sumeru treasure is the size of a money bag, which can't hold too many things.

After the two of them left the city, they walked for about 20 miles, and there was a surging river, which was vast and comparable to an ordinary lake.

Ships come and go on the river, sails are like clouds, and the so-called hundreds of boats compete for the current is nothing more than that.

After crossing this big river, you will reach the boundary of the south of the Yangtze River, and also enter the jurisdiction of Jinling Mansion.

Speaking of Jinling Mansion, Li Xuandu can't say how familiar he is, and he can't say how unfamiliar he is, after all, he has been here before, and a local friend once gave him two cans of Ming Qian tea, some charcoal made of sandalwood, a small red clay stove, and a small copper stove that can be used to cook wine, otherwise according to Li Xuandu's temperament, where would he spend money to buy these things.

As for that friend, he can be regarded as a son of a family, surnamed Qian, and named Yulong.

Since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, there has been an iron-clad Qian family in Jiangnan. The ancestor of the Qian family was also the hero of the dragon, and he could have been crowned to worship and shade his descendants, but the ancestor of the Qian family asked Emperor Taizu of the Great Wei for a piece of Danshu iron coupon, and then returned to his hometown Jinling Mansion and began to do business.

I have to admire the foresight of the ancestor of the Qian family, when Emperor Taizu was at the beginning of the founding of the country, the foreign surname was knighted, and a total of ten princes were crowned, but when Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, he deposed five princes, and to this day, only three princes can still be hereditary to this day, but they are not as free as the Qian family.

The Qian family, as the name suggests, is very rich, as for how to have money, in Jinling City, where every inch of land is expensive, there are two streets of shops opened by the Qian family, and half of the merchant ships docked on the wharf outside Jinling City are owned by the Qian family.

Qian Yulong once boasted to Li Xuan that his own industry was all over the state capitals in the south of the Yangtze River, roughly 33 antique shops, 13 printing bureaus, 32 gambling houses, 9 bookstores, 29 courtyards, 35 grain stores, 44 restaurants, 28 pharmacy shops, 15 porcelain shops, 40 blacksmith shops, 37 pawnshops, 40 inns, 13 money houses, and 30 weaving workshops. In addition, there are eight mansions in Jinling Mansion and three courtyards outside the city, with a total of more than 1,000 houses, more than 30,000 acres of fields, 28 granges, more than 3,900 tenants, more than 400 large and small ships, and four docks.

In fact, the Qian family does not have much land, and they do not rely on the land to make money, the key is that the Qian family intervened in the trade of salt, iron, porcelain, copper, cotton yarn, silk, tea, etc., which is the real Wanli industry.

At that time, Qian Yulong also invited Li Xuandu to see what ten miles of Qin Huai was, and let out the words, at least five miles of these ten miles of Qin Huai belonged to their Qian family, if Brother Li fell in love with which Oiran he liked, even if he opened his mouth, it was a matter of one sentence.

This sentence, if others say that the Eight Achievements are nonsense, but if it can be replaced by Qian Yulong, then there is no exaggeration, just a basic fact.

Looking at the city of Jinling, the Qian family can be described as a veritable "money half city".

With such a large family business, it is inevitable that people will covet it. However, Qian can communicate with the gods, the Qian family is located in Jinling, befriending Cihangzong to the south, Qingweizong to the north, and making friends with the Mending Heaven Sect in Liaodong and the Wudao Sect in the northwest, and in the imperial capital, they are even better friends with all kinds of magnates, even in the Golden Horde, they can also speak, which shows the wide network of the Qian family.

In addition to connections, the Qian family itself is also comparable to the Zhengyi Zhang family, there are not a few masters in the clan, and at the same time, they hire Keqing, worship, Qingke, and men with a lot of money, and Tingfeng Building, White Lotus Fang, Wenxiangtang, Wan Dumen, not a sect but a sect.

Because of this, in today's rivers and lakes, in addition to the twenty-two sects of good and evil, as well as the many sects attached to these twenty-two sects, there are still a few that can barely be transcendent, Tingfeng Tower, White Lotus Fang, Wenxiangtang, Wan Dumen and other four are counted as one, Qingyang Sect is counted as one, and the Qian family can also be counted as one.

The reason why Li Xuandu met Qian Yulong, in the final analysis, was because of business matters, at that time, the affairs of Jiangbei had come to an end temporarily, Li Xuandu returned to the sect to recuperate, and he also began to deal with the affairs of the sect during the period, because there was a business transaction with the Qian family, which should have been an errand for the second senior brother, so Li Xuandu did it for him and went to Jiangnan, so he got acquainted with Qian Yulong, the young owner of the Qian family in Jinling Mansion.

The Qian family's style of acting is very interesting, both conservative and non-conformist, and the two completely opposite styles of acting are perfectly integrated in them. It is said that they are conservative because they abide by the ancestral teachings and dare not go beyond the thunder pool by half a step, and that they do not follow the rules, because outside the ancestral teachings, they pursue freedom without prohibition, and do everything they dare not do, so one of the most common things to do within the Qian family is to pick every word of the ancestral teachings and find loopholes from them.

In addition, the Qian family is not the kind of family full of copper smell that the world imagines, if you put aside the wealth of the rich country and the master of the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the family, the Qian family can even be regarded as a scholarly family, there is a library called "Yuhai Pavilion" in the home, a total of more than 600,000 volumes of books, but also a collection of the largest number of solitary books and rare books in the entire south of the Yangtze River, and the Wenyuan Pavilion of the emperor's capital, the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of Jingchan Temple, the Baojing Pavilion of Zhengyizong, and called the four major library buildings in the world.

All the children of the Qian family, can enter the library to borrow books, at the same time the Qian family also opened the largest Mongolian school in the whole Jiangzhou, hired famous scholars and Confucians to teach, every time there are other states of Confucianism passing through Jiangzhou, will be invited to give lectures, so the children of the Qian family do not say that all can enter the scholar and the first, but the examination is still not a problem, the most surprising thing is that for so many years, the children of the Qian family have not participated in the imperial examination, and no one has ever been outstanding.

Qian Yulong once said to Li Xuandu, the Danshu iron coupon can avoid death, but only the great crime of rebellion is inevitable, if someone wants to harm the Qian family, they must start with the crime of rebellion, so the piece of Danshu iron coupon that was treasured in the Qian family's ancestral hall is just a peace of mind, and the way to really protect oneself is to stay away from the temple.

At the same time, Qian Yulong also told Li Xuandu a lot of their Qian family's ancestral teachings, such as money cannot be earned, and you must know how to leave a mouthful of soup for others to drink when eating meat, maybe the original words of the ancestor of the Qian family are not so, but from Qian Yulong's mouth, it becomes very vulgar.

Li Xuandu thought about these old events and walked towards the dock with Liu Chen.

At this moment, a three-story boat went down the river from upstream, and a big flag with the word "money" on board hunted in the wind.
