Chapter VI Trade Ratio
The old mansion of the ancient family has a long heritage, lush and green, and there are countless large and small courtyards. After Gu Zichen stepped out of his small courtyard, he didn't say hello to Gu Chengjin, and it was not his turn to be courteous, so he walked towards the main entrance of the old mansion very freely.
Gu Zichen walked and stopped all the way, and it took half an hour before he walked out of the gate of the Gu family. A road more than eight zhang wide, lying in front of the old mansion of the ancient family, there were few pedestrians on the road, and occasionally various demon beasts pulled huge carriages galloped past in front of Gu Zichen's eyes.
Gu Zichen's face was shocked, standing in front of the main gate of the Gu family, and in a short moment, like the demon beasts in ancient legends, one by one really appeared in front of him.
The Fire Spirit Beast, like a lion, was as tall as a foot, exuding flames all over its body, and walked past Gu Zichen with a high spirit, and its eyes towards passers-by revealed endless mockery.
Five-tailed hideous, yellow hair and long beard, five tails are long enough, the roar is like thunder splitting stones, pulling a golden carriage, on the heavy mountain stone road, making a clattering sound, revealing a majesty, making Gu Zichen's heart chill.
Gu Zichen stopped at the main gate for half a moment, and suddenly found that the direction of the carriage was all in the center of Huodong City.
Gu Zichen habitually squeezed his eyes and acupoints, frowned and thought about it, judging from the demon beasts pulling the carriage, the people on the carriage should all be extremely powerful people in Huo Dongcheng, and they rushed to the center of the city at this time, there should be something extremely important.
Gu Zichen thought for a while, and walked towards the center of Huodong City, both sides of the road were clean and tidy, and the courtyards with tall lintels stood on both sides. Searching for the memories of the original Gu Zichen, it turned out that there was a conversation in the inner city of Huodong City, and the house where he lived was either rich or expensive.
Huodong City is very big, Gu Zichen walked for a quarter of an hour, and it is still far away from the city center. At this time, a demon beast that looked like an elk pulled a translucent carriage and stopped beside Gu Zichen.
Ziyan deer, docile demon beasts, mostly used for ordinary kick-offs.
"Childe, are you in the car?" a slightly philistine voice came from the tail of Zi Yanlu.
Huo Dongcheng's taxi was exactly what Gu Zichen needed at this time, Gu Zichen nodded, raised his feet and boarded the carriage, the carriage was extremely shabby, Gu Zichen didn't care, and told the coachman to go to the city center.
Although Zi Yanlu's combat effectiveness was zero, her footsteps were quite fast, and in only half an hour, she came to the center of the city at a gallop, and a huge city wall appeared in front of Gu Zichen's eyes. In front of the city wall, there is a wide square, where pedestrians walk slowly and scatter around.
The city walls are all made of dark boulders, about ten zhang high, and on the city walls, rows of soldiers hold magic weapons in the shape of spears, their eyes are cold, staring at the people walking below.
Gu Zichen asked the coachman to go around the city wall, and with Zi Yanlu's footsteps, it took two quarters of an hour to get a glimpse of the city lord's mansion.
Following the memory of the original Gu Zichen, at present, the nine countries of the Jiuding Continent stand side by side, each occupying a state, and the eight countries nominally respect the Yu State, but in fact they are each in their own affairs, governing the territory within their jurisdiction, not giving an inch, sending civil and military generals to settle in the place, forming local counties, Huo Dongcheng is the place where the county of Shangchuan County of the Liang State is guarded.
Although the Nine Kingdoms are powerful and have countless capable people with lofty ideals to serve them, the Jiuding Continent has a strong family concept, and above the locality, the family and the civil and military generals stationed in the Nine Kingdoms work together to govern, which is slightly similar to the ancient period of the Huaxia Kingdom.
Scattered cultivators around the country are unwilling to be oppressed by the royal power and the big family, in order to snatch the resources of cultivating immortals, since the beginning of Hongmeng, they have joined hands to create the mountain gate, which is located in the famous mountain, accumulated from generation to generation, there are countless sects in the Jiuding Continent, the strength is strong, and it is a faction above the place, and no one dares to provoke.
In the southern mountain range of Huodong City, there is a Taoist temple, called Feixia Temple, there are more than 1,000 disciples in the view, most of them come from poor families, practice hard, far from the disciples of the Huodong City family. The elite disciples who have been carefully cultivated in the view have a much better future than the sons and daughters of the major families.
After turning around the Shangchuan County Guard, Gu Zichen's face was calm, and he slowly combed through the messy memories in his mind, and returned to the city lord's mansion square.
The square was crowded with people, and from time to time you could see the precious chariot heading towards the city lord's mansion.
"Haozi, have you heard? Today it seems that the city lord and the patriarchs of the major families are discussing the trade agreement with Qidu County of Jingguo in three years. ”
Gu Zichen walked out of the deer cart, and as soon as he stood still, he heard a scholar-like person next to him showing off to his friend next to him.
"Really, I said that today, the precious chariots that have always seen the dragon without seeing the end of the dragon, why have they come here one after another, it turns out that it is almost the time of the trade competition once in a decade. ”
The person of Haozi was stunned for a moment, and then showed a sudden realization, and walked into the distance with his friends.
Gu Zichen took a turn in the square, thinking about it inwardly, sorting out the memories of Gu Zichen, it turned out that Shangchuan County, where Huo Dongcheng was located, was the southeast border of Liang State, bordering Qidu County of Jing State and Nanyu County of Yue State.
Through trade, the three counties have sold foreign goods from other countries to their own countries to earn the price difference, so that the county governments and families where the three counties are located have made great profits.
However, in order to solve this contradiction, I don't know when, the three counties negotiate every ten years, and the three counties have sent masters of the Condensation Realm to fight with each other to delineate the distribution of benefits.
Gu Zichen turned around just now, only to learn that three years later, the three counties would compete in the Panyang Mountain Range of Qidu County of Jing Kingdom to compete for a share of trade distribution, and as far as Gu Zichen knew, Gu Splittian, the head of the Gu family, would also participate in the competition.
Gu Zichen shook his head, feeling that it had little to do with him now, and then re-boarded the deer cart and asked the coachman to continue to circulate towards Huo Dongcheng.
Crossing the wide road, the road that Zi Yanlu traveled became narrower and narrower, but the flow of people increased, there were many shops on both sides of the road, and there were many kinds of goods, Gu Zichen sometimes sat on the carriage, sometimes got off the car and entered the store to wander around, dazzling to look at the style of goods in the store, but there was no intention of buying.
Not for anything else, just because the spirit crystal in the bag is missing.
After half an hour, I finally came to the southwest of Huodong City, this place is vast, and the carriages of different styles are rushing in the southwest of Huodong City, the flow of people is complicated, but it is well organized, some are rushing to the gate outside the city, and some are rushing to the city.
Gu Zichen's face was calm, but his heart was extremely surprised, looking at the busy figure here, it was like returning to Huaxia National Station, the air was filled with the pain of separation, love and hatred, and more.
"Roar"
A sound of Ming Cui soared into the sky, Gu Zichen, who was constantly watching the crowd, subconsciously looked up at the sky, but saw a bijing goose with a size of ten zhang, with more than a dozen people on the back of the goose, roared, flapped his wings and flew towards the outside of Huodong City, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"The plane of the immortal cultivation realm!"
Gu Zichen sighed in his heart, patted the window of the car, and the coachman understood, and drove the carriage to the southeast of Huodong City. I had already explained to the coachman and led me around Huo Dongcheng.
Along the way, pedestrians are weaving, their footsteps are in a hurry, and countless pedestrians are flowing endlessly, walking on the road, not knowing what they are busy with. Gu Zichen's face was calm, constantly comparing himself with Huaxia Kingdom, trying to find a gap and find a shortcut to earn spirit crystals.
People who cultivate immortals, their mana is boundless, Gu Zichen turned half of Huo Dongcheng, but he was still confused, whether it was production, operation, service and other industries, they were all doing their best, there was nothing to see the seams, Gu Zichen's brows were more and more tightly locked.
Taking catering as an example, at noon, Gu Zichen got off the car and ordered a pot of qiong brew in the restaurant.
The demon beast meal in the restaurant, Gu Zichen tasted it for the first time, it was like a gluttonous feast, the chopsticks did not leave his hand, and the fragrant rice with distinct grains was swept away, and the huge table of meals was wiped out, and there was still nothing left, and he wanted to eat again.
Walking out of the restaurant and getting back into the deer cart, Gu Zichen's face showed a thoughtful look, and after a while, he suddenly realized.
In order to improve the combat effectiveness of the immortal cultivation world, the refining skills have been inherited from ancient times to the present, although there are occasional generations, but the motivation is due to it, and countless geniuses have invested in it, but it has become more and more round.
The same is true for talismans, which can be killed instantly, in the desperate killing of the two, there are many benefits, and among the central dynasty, families and gate valves, it is also fateful to cultivate their own unique talisman makers.
Needless to say, alchemy and formations, among all factions and families, there are special people engaged in this activity, so after years and months, how can the production and manufacturing capacity of the immortal cultivation world be weaker than that of Huaxia Kingdom, thinking of this, Gu Zichen's original luck heart gradually converged.
Gu Zichen explained to the coachman, sped up, and quickly browsed the remaining city outlines.
