Chen Pingan asked curiously: "Do you really want to hold two night banquets in a row?"

One party is enough. Even Gao Niang, the water god of the Ximei River, who is not short of money, last time drank at the village school and uttered the truth after drinking. Today, there is a night banquet and then a day of rest. It is considered as a way to catch his breath.

After all, after everyone has finally saved some money, there will be another game the day after tomorrow. No one’s money falls from the sky. I really can’t bear it.

Wei Bo glanced at him.

Chen Pingan said knowingly: "Pretend I didn't ask."

Wei Bo said: "I made an appointment with Meng Rong to go to the Changpu River for a drink."

Chen Pingan nodded, "We have to celebrate."

Wei Bo looked at him again.

Chen Ping'an said helplessly: "Just tell me, what do you want me to do? Do you need me to go over there and serve as a host and bring some jars of good wine, or do you need my assistant to help you play a few rounds and block the wine for you, or you?"

It's so exciting to drink flower wine, you just need me to show up at the end and help you pay the bill secretly?"

Wei Bo said: "As long as you have the intention. Meng Rong really wants to have a date with you. I would like to thank you a few words, but I will help you turn it down."

Chen Pingan quickly raised his hand and thanked him.

Wei Bo left directly.

Chen Pingan sighed. Damn it, if you have the same virtue as Lin Yupu, you will soon become a god king, and you have a good temper.

Why don't you go and be arrogant with Mr. Big?

They were going to the Ministry of War Office located in Kejia Lane, Qianbu Lang. Jiang Shangzhen originally wanted to support the old minister, but he never thought that the old man would not be able to step out of the palace after he left the palace.

Chen Pingan planned to give 500 military books to the Songxue Lecture Hall directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. Anyway, they were ready-made copies.

Because they had been to the capital before, Chen Ping'an and Xiao Mo had used a blind trick. Jiang Shangzhen and Xie Gou were able to attend the two Luo Luoshan enshrinements at the same time, so it was very casual.

When they arrived at the heavily guarded Ministry of War office, the old minister led them through the corridors. They met many officials from the Ministry of War, but no one took the initiative to say hello to the old minister. They all seemed to slow down and lower their heads as they passed by.

Jiang Shangzhen sighed: "The old minister is not as powerful as usual in his yamen."

Just like me, every time I ascend Shenzhuan Peak to attend meetings at the Patriarch Hall, no one dares to say hello to me.

Shen Shen smiled and said: "There is nothing official or not, it's just that I don't want to bow my head and bow down. Not only our military department, but also all government agencies and departments in the capital strive to resolve matters quickly, talk about things when they have something to do, and stop talking nonsense when they have nothing to do.

Well, except Zhao Duanjin’s Ministry of Etiquette, which is very strict and strict. I occasionally go there to visit, and every few steps I have to nod to someone I don’t know. My neck feels sore, and I have to put on a dog-skin plaster when I come back."

Jiang Shangzhen automatically ignored the old man's strange anger towards the Rites Yamen and said with a smile: "Then what's the point of being an official?"

The Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy are indeed very particular about it. For example, they stipulate that when the sun shines on the fifth brick of the corridor, officials will be ordered to do so by the Yamen.

Cao Gengxin, the undisciplined minister of the Ministry of Personnel, is a rare exception in the officialdom of Dali. This son of the Cao family of Shangzhu State, who was promoted from Longquan Kiln Supervisor, was often late for lunch, so his salary was not enough to deduct.

Shen Chen said: "It's very beautiful outside the Yamen. I just wanted to go to the Changpu River to drink. Every time I paid, I got a huge discount. I didn't dare to go there often, for fear that I would ruin the restaurant."

The house is very spacious, equivalent to three rooms connected. In addition to reviewing official documents, the old minister can also hold small meetings here.

There is a row of bookshelves against the wall, and the remaining standing cabinets on both sides are filled with books and archives. Books are everywhere. To describe the volume as vast is not an exaggeration.

It was rare for the old minister to entertain guests here, and none of them wore official robes. Soon, a special secretary who worked in the minister's room brought tea.

Shen Chen sat on an old Taishi chair that was heavily swollen, habitually leaning on crutches with both hands and resting his chin on the back of his hands. He said with a smile: "Master Chen, it's better to hurry up than to hurry up. I asked the Ministry of Industry Wen Er, and the Ministry of Household Mu Yandu Come over here, let them get acquainted with Chen Guoshi, and talk about some serious business?"

Although they are important ministers of the same dynasty with similar official positions, Shen Shen is old and has worked in various ministries, so many of them are the old minister's "natal" yamen. In addition, Shen Shen has many titles, so the two ministers came to the yamen of the Ministry of War. , it’s nothing, not to mention that Shen Shen is Wen Er’s teacher. We bumped into him at Yi Chi Alley. Wen Er called Shen Shen sir, and whether he answered or not depends on whether Shen Shen was in a good mood. Oh no, it was because his ears were sharp at the time. Everyone in the official circles of Da Li knew that Shen Laoshangshu's ear had always been good and sometimes bad since he was young.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "It's not necessary."

Jiang Shangzhen was guarding the imperial study room before. He was extremely bored, so he studied the details of the clothing of the gods of mountains and rivers in the room. Both ministers were wearing court clothes. There were not many differences. For example, the boots on their feet were different. The heavy court boots were brand new but stained with stains. Mud, Zhao Duanjin's court boots were old but clean. Jiang Shangzhen was curious about how the heavy boots could have mud. There is a time-honored shop in the capital of Dali that specializes in selling court boots. There is a book "Being Ready for Every Step", which is widely circulated. Here in the capital The people around here, especially those who have lived near Yichi Lane and Chier Street for generations, have developed a pair of sharp eyes. This is called Ye Ye, look at the shoes first.

Xiaomo sat upright.

Xie Gou lazily leaned on the chair and pulled down his mink hat to cover his face. He didn't know whether he was sleeping or resting.

Shen Chen asked: "Are Master Chen familiar with Luzhou Sanlang Temple in Beiju?"

Chen Pingan paused for a moment, thought about it, shook his head and said: "I have indeed been to Beiju Luzhou several times, but I have hardly set foot in the north of Jidu, so I am naturally not familiar with Sanlang Temple."

Jiang Shangzhen glanced at the mountain master.

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "But I have a friend who is a swordsman, and he has a good relationship with Sanlang Temple."

The old man nodded and said: "The Ministry of Punishment plans to get some benefits for the worshipers at all levels in Dali. Of course it is not a bribe. The Ministry of Husbandry has already approved it, but rejected several proposals from the Ministry of Punishment because they think they are not worthy of the family. I didn't know that firewood and rice were expensive, so I spent money indiscriminately, and finally found a compromise. According to the wishes of the Ministry of Revenue, one is the immortal wine from Changchun Palace. Anyway, the Ministry of Finance does not need to spend money. This kind of wine is now available on the Baopingzhou Mountain. Stronger than immortal money, I planned to buy a batch of cheap and high-quality Sanlang Temple futons. As a result, the Ministry of War also heard about this and had an idea. Anyway, I spent money to buy it. If I bought too much, I might still pay for it. If there is a discount, I want to buy a futon for all the military monks in Dali, but this will increase the household expenses, and Mu Yan just has to move a stool to the criminal department to sit and curse."

Chen Pingan nodded, "The futons from Sanlang Temple are indeed good things. They say one Xiaoshu coin can be used as two."

When he visited Luzhou in Beiju for the first time that year, Chen Ping'an was deeply impressed by this kind of futon on the mountain. On the Bone Beach, there was a small market commonly known as Naiheguan because of the yin energy leaking out of a ghost valley.

It's noon when the sun is shining brightly, but it's still cool all over the body. On the border between the big and small heavens and the earth, the Pima Sect built a long series of thatched huts on top of the springs with strong yin and essence.

Futons refined by the Sanlang Temple will be placed in the huts to help practitioners breathe and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth more quickly.

Sanlang Temple is the largest weapons shop in Luzhou, Beiju, and the genealogical monks of Sanlang Temple are as famous as their proficiency in forging weapons. Although they don't like to fight, they are very good at fighting. Sanlang Temple has a popular mantra, "

Don’t bully honest people.”

The protective spiritual treasure armor cast by Sanlang Temple, the Sword Immortal's natal flying sword imitated by Henjian Mountain, the three-color cassock from Foguang Temple, and the crane cloak and feather robe from Yunxiao Palace of Chongxuan Department of Dayuan Dynasty are all famous in the world.

Among the vast nine continents, in terms of refining objects and forging weapons, apart from the Middle Earth Divine Continent, only Liuxia Continent, which is rich in products, can rival Beiju Luzhou. Just like Han Huaizi, the old master of the Taihui Sword Sect, one of them

The famous swordsmanship is called "Great Work and Jade Cutting", which is related to the fact that Sect Master Han is proficient in "carving" techniques such as magic circles, talismans, and weapon refining.

There is really nothing we can do about it. There are many swordsmen in this continent. The average Qigong practitioner should not wear more robes and treasure armor when going out. The more swords he can carry, the more lives he will have.

At the same time, pure martial artists also want to have a few handy weapons so that they can practice with Qi practitioners. Why can't those who practice martial arts and boxing compete with those who practice martial arts?

You bought robes and armor, and I picked out a few offensive magic weapons. You bought offensive magic weapons, and I bought more defensive treasures and various amulets. At the same time, I also secretly got some very lethal ones...

In the end, the atmosphere in the mountains and hills of Luzhou, Beiju, is extremely simple, and the personality is particularly straightforward. There is no "hospitality", and I am embarrassed to "say hello" to people when I go out.

Chen Ping'an once gave Liu Jinglong a hundred Grain Rain coins to help him buy as many imitation swords from Henjian Mountain and Sanlang Temple treasure armor as possible. If there was any surplus, he would help Palm Eyes and buy some idle treasures. In short, don't save money for me.

!

The implication is that we, Shanzhu Chen, want both quality and quantity.

After all, Liu Jianxian's face is very valuable.

In the end, Liu Jinglong personally visited the Sanlang Temple and helped buy a Henjianshan imitation sword and two pairs of treasure armor.

There are signatures of two famous refiners. Generally speaking, the Lingbao armor with names on it is the handiwork enshrined in the Sanlang Temple Zushi Hall. It is priceless but has no market, and the premium is high.

Later, Chen Ping'an gave it to Lu Baixiang's two direct disciples, sister and brother, Yuanbao Yuanlai, and each of them happened to have a pair of treasure armor.

Why can't a pure martial artist wear a treasured armor? The world is dangerous and one must be on guard against others, so one must have something to protect oneself.

Later, I heard Bai Shou say that Liu met a confidante at Sanlang Temple, which is why he was so easy to talk about the price. If it were someone else, he would be a fool.

In terms of seniority, the female cultivator who nominally manages half of the weapons shops in Sanlang Temple is Yuan Xuan's aunt. She, Lu Sui, the fairy of Shuijing Mountain, and Sun Qing, the master of Caique Mansion, are all listed in Luzhou, Beiju.

The beauties of the top ten fairies had their hearts set on Liu Jinglong when Liu Jinglong was still the master of Pianran Peak. Anyway, everyone in Beiju Luzhou knew this.

Thanks to the night banquets, treasures piled up in the warehouses of the Piyun Mountain Treasure Office and the Honor Guard Department, and there was a huge pile of catalogs and books documenting them.

Moreover, Chen Ping'an heard from Xiao Mili that the two yamen of Wei Shanjun's family occupy a large area and have been expanded more than once.

Among the countless gifts, there was a futon secretly made by the Sanlang Temple. Later, Xiaomo and the Tiger Mansion spent money to buy a futon and brought it back to Luopo Mountain, where they peeled off the cocoons and dismantled it.

The conclusion drawn is that it is not difficult to imitate, but the cost cannot be reduced. Firstly, it is limited by several key materials, and there is no substitute here in Aquarius Island. Furthermore, whether it can be mass-produced, the cost gap is huge.

Since even Xiaomo said this, it means that the futons in Sanlang Temple are almost the ultimate.

In addition, there are four hills in Beiju Luzhou, all of which have low-end business opportunities. For example, the robes from Laojun Lane were once exported to six continents besides Aquarius Continent and Tongye Continent. At that time, Aquarius

Tongyezhou is too poor, and Tongyezhou is too isolated. However, the robes of Laojun Lane have long been monopolized by the Qionglin Sect. It is rumored that the founder of Laojun Lane, Song Fu with the same Taoist name,

He is extremely talented in refining things, but he is not good at business. When he was young, he had a high vision. He only wanted to build the best mountain robe regardless of the cost. As a result, he was hungry and cold. Later, the Qionglin Sect came to visit him.

, negotiated cooperation with her, and became prosperous from then on. The kind of Qinghe robe in Laojun Lane made Qionglin Sect very profitable.

And she finally refined what she thought was a famous robe that could go down in history. It was called "Yingran Robe", but it was extremely expensive. It was the first choice for Qi practitioners in the upper five realms besides Luzhou Sword Cultivator in Beiju. Unfortunately,

Only one piece can be made every sixty years in Laojunxiang.

It is somewhat similar to the Yuhua Dan from Tongyezhou Qinghu Palace. What it sells is not fairy money, but a huge favor.

As for the cooperation between Song Fu and Qiong Linzong, whether she met a person of destiny or an unkind person, they are on the other side of Luzhou in Beiju.

Later, Laojun Lane launched several "treasure bowls" one after another, such as the Dayuejia, which was tailor-made for emperors, monarchs, and royal nobles of a continent. They were both attractive and useless, but the advantage was that they were indeed not ordinary "medium-looking" products.

The seal characters are complicated, the treasures are gorgeous, and they are extremely valuable.

The Jade Pu Realm and Earth Immortal monks, as well as the Qi Practitioners of the Lower Five Realms, were all captured by Laojunxiang. In addition, royal nobles from various countries lined up to be taken advantage of.

Grasping these three types of customers at the same time, Laojun Lane and Qionglin Sect, will of course bring in money.

The old man suddenly patted the handle of the chair, "I almost forgot that Old Sect Leader Jiang is actually the one who is most familiar with Beiju Luzhou!"

Xie Gou picked up her mink hat and glanced at Chief Zhou. She got Bai Ze's permission and came here to find Xiao Mo. Xie Gou showed up at Beiju Luzhou from the beginning, so where Chief Zhou was

The word-of-mouth deeds there are relatively clear. It has been so many years, and every time Jiang Shangzhen is mentioned, the Qi practitioners there still gnash their teeth, and everyone is ready to kill him. How much evil Jiang Shangzhen did in Beiju Luzhou back then

ah.

Jiang Shangzhen was still thick-skinned and said with a smile: "When buying things from Beiju Luzhou, just give me my name, but I can't guarantee whether they will give you a 50% discount or a 15% discount."
