Chapter 55: Lu's Pawnshop
Nangong Kun didn't reply, but just said: "Surpassing predecessors, and even surpassing saints, this kind of thing seems ridiculous, but you should know that this is what I have been doing." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"We have a ten-year bet. I don't want it to be a joke. Lu Dian stood up and had an extra booklet in his hand. This is an atlas of his interpretation of the extraction technology that he pondered day and night. One book for another, this is the deal that Lu Dian originally wanted to do with Nangong Kun. Lu Dian handed the booklet to Nangong Kun. Nangong Kun was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Lu Dian handed over, but just took it casually.
"After dawn, I will go to Nanqingzhou Mansion. I want to build an empire there, and your elixir is an integral part of it. You don't have to rush to give me an answer, I'll be waiting for you in Nanqingzhou Mansion in ten days. Lu Dian felt that his body had recovered a lot, and turned around and went back with his hands behind his back. Lu Dian didn't say what would happen if he didn't come, because he knew that Nangong Kun couldn't refuse him. He has the same research blood in his bones as himself. Nangong Kun was the first scientist with a truly scientific spirit that Lu Dian had seen in the cultivation world.
Nangong Kun took advantage of the bright sky and the light of his own fire, gently opened the booklet, and the first page calmed him.
"The secret of extraction is not in the utensils, but in the solvent ......" Nangong Kun closed the book at once. He instantly understood how precious it was to hold something in his hands. This is something that many medical families can't get when they exhaust their family heritage. Lu Dian trusted himself to such an extent. Nangong Kun didn't dare to think about it, so he quickly opened it and read it carefully. When the sky was bright, Nangong Kun was afraid that someone would find out, so he hurriedly hid in the mountains with a variety of objects. There are many things that Lu Dian gave him that he can't understand, or even understand. This is not a painful thing for him, but a new interest.
Lu Dian's convoy set off again and rushed to the last stop of this business trip - Nanqingzhou Mansion. Long Qianyu once persuaded himself that he couldn't go to Nanqingzhou without Wudejia, but now he just came as a businessman, so it shouldn't be a big problem. Bai Rong came to ask Lu Dian because she found that Nangong Kun was missing. Lu Dian just said that he had something to leave, and although Bai Rong was suspicious, he didn't want to say anything. The convoy walked slowly along the avenue to the Nanqingzhou Mansion at the foot of Langya Mountain.
No matter when he saw that magnificent and tall city, Lu Dian would be shocked, and at the same time full of doubts. The huge walls are hundreds of feet high, which is completely beyond the foundation of ordinary human needs. Lu Dian originally thought that this method of construction was to defend against demons, but judging from the current situation in the western realm, this kind of giant city did not seem to have any special effect on the demon sea. What exactly was the purpose of building such a huge fusion formation giant city to defend against? Lu Dian had always had questions in his heart, but unfortunately no one could answer the questions in his heart.
When you enter the city, the market is depressed and the population is withering. The morning is the most lively time, but there are not many pedestrians coming and going. Many shops are closed, and even the street stalls are only scattered with a few snacks. The samurai leader's face was a little ugly. He had a good impression of Lu Dian, so he was worried that Lu Dian's business would fail, and now it seems that his worries are in front of him.
"My lord, this Southern Qingzhou has been turbulent for more than ten years because of the Kraken disaster, and I never thought that this Southern Qingzhou Mansion would be depressed like this. It's no wonder we didn't meet any merchants or robbers along the way. When the samurai leader saw Lu Dian poking his head out, he leaned in and whispered.
"Don't worry, let's find a yard near the market here and buy it as a place to stay. After Lu Dian finished speaking, he took out a bag of silver coins from his arms and handed it to the samurai leader. The samurai leader took the silver coin and said, "My lord, I'll go find a place." I'm afraid I won't be able to spend that much money like this. ”
Lu Dian nodded. The reason why he chose Nanqingzhou is because of the turmoil here. Turbulence will lead to a drop in the price of land, and the price of other materials will soar, so it is possible to shake the foundation of cultivation by opening up trade routes, promoting one's own coins, and even establishing a money village that connects the world to gather the world's will.
Sure enough, in a short time, the leader of the warriors came back and reported that he had found a nice courtyard, and the price was cheap for only thirty taels of silver, that is, thirty silver coins. In the place where this kind of county government is located, the house in the city is only thirty silver, and if it is in Jiankang, the price may be more than twenty or thirty times. It can be seen that the economy of Nanqingzhou is almost in a state of collapse.
Lu Dian did not see the owner of this mansion. The samurai simply sent the title deed and the house deed to Lu Dian, and the transaction was completed. This house doesn't look big, but the diameter is very deep, and the general courtyard only has a triple courtyard. It has a large sandy courtyard behind the front yard, the atrium, and the back yard. The samurai leader said that this was a place to practice, and the former owner of this courtyard was a Jianghu man, and he would practice some simple martial arts to get such a practice ground. Lu Dian was very satisfied, and this practice field was immediately converted into a coinage workshop by him. He'd collected a lot of silver and copper along the way, and now he'd have to mint them in large quantities here. He had worried that if the Son of Heaven found out about his actions, he would deprive him of his coinage. Absolutely. But when a kind of coinage appeared in large quantities and guaranteed to be exchanged of equal quality, the Son of Heaven could not do anything about him. Either the Son of Heaven also minted coins, and the family also minted coins, but they must not be like themselves and almost mint at a loss. The same pound of copper coinage comes out as a pound of copper coins. This method is the most acceptable and the easiest to open the market. When Lu Dian's gold, silver and copper natural currency reaches a certain amount of savings, Lu Dian will consider taking the next step and issuing copper coins of unequal value, that is, differential copper coins.
In this way, the minting workshop was built in the southern Qingzhou capital. Dozens of coinage dies were copied to meet the demand for a large number of coins in Lu Dian. The small courtyard was completely transformed into a triple watchtower by Lu Dian, and was reinforced with painting and formations. Bai Rong was just watching Lu Dian get these things for this time. She just couldn't figure it out. Lu Dian obviously came to do business, but as soon as he arrived in the place, he built a lot of construction and spent money like running water.
It took a whole month to build the huge hall, and the whole street belonged to Lu Dian's shop that was the most eccentric. People's shops are all open doors to do business. Only the three layers inside and three layers of his shop were tightly wrapped, and even the door was half covered by a curved wooden door, and no one knew what the counter inside, which looked taller than a person, was used for.
Some families in the city began to notice Lu Dian's strange behavior and began to come over to inquire. Lu Dian directly revealed Bai Rong's identity and immediately scared those people back. In addition to the Jinju clan, Nanqingzhou is a small family, and the Jinju clan and the county guard of Nanqingzhou Mansion have all gone to Langya County. The Kraken scourge progressed, and they had to be stationed on the front line to defend it. Facing the place where the Bai family, who is also a member of the Golden Book clan and a medical and Taoist family, let alone an ordinary clan, even if it is the Southern Qingzhou Golden Book Clan, it is not easy to ask anything here. After all, people are just here to do business, and it is a big trouble for the medical family to be offended.
As a result, Lu Dian's shop became the most mysterious shop until the day it opened. Lu Dian didn't have any banquets, just hung red ribbon-cutting and had a lively time. When the red cloth on the sign on the shop was lifted, everyone was dumbfounded. Because there is a big word "dang" written on it, and the plaque in it reads "Lu's pawnshop". What is this pawnshop for? No one knows.
