At the beginning of autumn, it is almost the time to plant mulberry trees. Before and after the first snowfall in autumn, it is the time to plant saplings. Before the snowfall, ask the monks to cast spells to seal the vitality. Then when the spring warms and the flowers bloom next year, most of the mulberry seedlings can be planted.

survive.

At this time, Master Chuhe was holding the lazy cat in his hand and was sitting in the main seat. On his left and right hands were the family heads of Yao Ji and Xu Ji Jinxing respectively. The person from the Mi family was the son of the family head, sitting outside.

Originally, Xu Ji Jinxing could only squeeze into the top five, but by hugging Master Hoe He's thighs tightly, he was already sitting on his right side.

The old Taoist hoeer has his own specialties about this banquet. Whoever gets more orders can sit closer to him. As for whose family has a big business, the old Taoist doesn't care at all. That's why the Mi family sits in the eight or nine seats.

, the head of the Mi family was so angry that he fell ill. But the Mi family couldn't do it without someone coming. The eight or nine people were also on the list of tens of thousands of pieces of silk brocade, so they had to come.

The atmosphere at the banquet was lively, and the faces of Yao and Xu, the two masters of the family, were so red that they almost touched the old Taoist Hoe.

Master Chuhe coughed, and the room became quiet, and then said: "This time I come over, I will definitely have a new order."

Everyone's eyes were blazing, waiting for the next step.

"I want to collect 50,000 pieces of brocade and silk from this batch... two million catties!"

There was a hissing sound, and all the family heads took a breath of air. Forget it, the amount of silk is too terrifying. This is the rhythm of sweeping away the inventory of several houses!

Many people were still making plans, and the head of the Xu family loudly said: "I can take 5,000 pieces of brocade and 300,000 catties of silk!"

All the family heads were shocked. The amount given by the Xu family simply emptied their entire inventory. What else could he use to weave brocade? Some family heads immediately thought of the Xu family's actions. Their family had converted tens of thousands of acres of grain fields into

The mulberry garden is here! Although it’s too late this year, silk production will begin next year.

At that moment, a young family owner shouted: "I am willing to pick up 50,000 catties of wire!"

The old hoeer smiled broadly and waved to him, saying: "Come on, come on, sit closer!"

The little head of the family was both excited and a little uneasy, so he exchanged seats with the son of the head of the Mi family. Someone took the lead, and many others followed. After a while, the batch of orders was finally put together, and the Master of Hoe He returned home satisfied.

After Master Chue He left, the price of silk in Shanyang County immediately skyrocketed, from one qian of fairy silver to three qian. A piece of Ningjin sold for 50 taels of fairy silver, and each piece required five kilograms of silk, requiring a dozen craftsmen to relay the work.

It takes three months to weave one piece. The craftsman's handiwork is worth two taels, and in addition, the house, salary, tax, silver, etc. are another one tael.

After the price of silk skyrocketed, it immediately became unprofitable to weave cotton, so the price of brocade also rose. Although the inflow of goods from other counties will gradually reduce the price, everyone knows that there is such a big buyer suddenly.

Prices will never go back to what they were before.

The continuous flow of grain shipped from Qingming has brought the price of food in Shanyang County back to the level of normal years.

This time Master Chuhe gave out more large monofilaments but less brocade, which instantly made those who stocked up on silk at home taste the sweetness, while those who had too much brocade and too little silk made their smiles less joyful.

Many people know from this that a pound of silk can earn a pound of money, but this is not the case with brocade. How much you can earn depends on the look of the silk.

Autumn is originally the harvest season, but with the influx of Qingming grain, countless grain farmers are looking sad. Most of their fields are rented from aristocratic families, and the rent was determined at the beginning of the year when grain prices were high. Now the grain prices are less than the beginning of the year.

Halfway through the period, they sold all their grain and it was not enough to pay the land rent.

The saying that low grain prices hurt farmers has come true in this autumn.

In contrast, all the farmers in Shanyang County were smiling and every house was decorated with lanterns.

The Yao family and the Xu family are well-established, but the Mi family is quite neglected. In the main hall of the Mi family's ancestral home, more than a dozen clan elders gathered together, and the head of the Mi family sat among them, still showing unquestionable majesty.

"I still mean that. One hundred thousand acres of grain fields are the lifeblood of the clan and cannot be touched at all! Humph, what if Qing Ming harvests silk this year and doesn't harvest next year? If Qing Ming doesn't sell grain then, wouldn't we?

Are you going to starve to death?”

The head of the Mi family made a resounding statement. According to the past, this set the tone and there was no need to discuss the matter further.

But this time, a clan elder said: "Qingming exchanges grain for silk. The more silk he sells, the more grain he stores! If they don't buy silk next year, they will change it back to the grain fields, but the grain they store will be

It’s enough to last for several years, so you’ll never be hungry.”

The head of the Mi family suddenly turned gloomy. In recent years, few people dared to contradict him face to face.

Another clan elder also said: "The current income from the grain fields is less than 20% of that from the mulberry fields. If we keep so much money and make no profit, we must give the clansmen an explanation! You can't just say a word and the following will be changed."

All the clan members suppressed him."

The head of the Mi family was already livid, but looking at the clan elders with strange eyes, he suddenly understood that these people were not here to discuss matters but to replace the clan leader.

…

Qing Ming and Wei Yuan took out a batch of blood necklaces of various grades and gave them to Xu Henshui. During this period of time, Xu Henshui has been testing various medicinal materials that are special to the Western Regions.

Xu Henshui inspected it for a long time, holding a top-quality sample that could already be called the Soul Necklace, and said excitedly: "This is it! This product can completely replace the main medicine in the fairy prescription!"

"Xianfang?"

"Oh, you don't understand an ancient immortal prescription now. When your level of alchemy is high enough, I will teach it to you." Xu Henshui said.

Wei Yuan looked at the piece of soul necklace in confusion. Such a small piece, just over a kilogram, is worth hundreds of thousands of immortal silver, but its life-extending effect is only more than ten years longer than that of an ordinary blood necklace. And an ordinary one of the same weight is worth hundreds of thousands of immortal silver.

Xue Yingluo only has one thousand taels of immortal silver.

Wei Yuan naturally knew what the immortal formula Xu Henshui mentioned was, and the source of the inheritance of true meaning was still here in Wei Yuan. What Xu Henshui saw was just a rubbing of the fireworks in the human world.

Wei Yuan has dealt with a few pieces of soul necklaces, but he can't figure out which medicinal material in the fairy prescription is related to this thing. This shows how big the gap between the two people is in the alchemy path.

Xu Henshui explained to Wei Yuan in detail why Soul Yingluo could replace such ancient immortal materials, but at a glance it was clear that Wei Yuan did not understand. However, in line with his original intention of not giving up on every fool, Xu Henshui still talked for an entire hour.

Everything he said was written down by Wei Yuan and simultaneously presented in the human world. So all this knowledge was stored, compared and analyzed with existing knowledge, and then classified and stored in the corresponding location. This allowed

Wei Yuan's alchemy knowledge is richer and has a clear structure.

After explaining the whole principle, Wei Yuan finally understood why Xiao Nian Pill was priced at the normal life-extending pill, but the price of Blood Necklace was several times or even hundreds of times higher.

In Xu Henshui's opinion, the alchemist who developed the Xiaonian Dan had mediocre attainments. The elixir used several main herbs that have life-extending effects. After taking other life-extending pills containing these main ingredients, Xiaonian was used again.

The effect of the pill will be greatly reduced.

In the same way, if you have not taken other life-extending pills and take Xiaonian Dan first, the efficacy of other similar life-extending pills will be reduced.

But Hun Yingluo is different. In the past, the human race only took it for life, and very few people were qualified to use it. The life-extending effect of Hun Yingluo will decrease slowly if you take it too much, but the negative effects are unbearable.

Hun Yingluo can replace the main medicine in the fairy prescription, and the research on the ancient fairy prescription has taken a big step forward.

In the next few days, Xu Henshui improved the recipe of Xiaonian Dan, adding low-grade Xue Yingluo as the main ingredient, and developed a new recipe. Based on this new recipe, Xu Henshui and Wei Yuan shared a recipe.

room and open the furnace at the same time. In this way, Wei Yuan was taught the way of alchemy and corrected some of the bad habits that novices often make when refining alchemy.

In addition to Wei Yuan and Xu Henshui, all the other disciples of Creation Temple were also present during this refining session. In addition, some people with alchemy talents were also present to watch. Xu Henshui is now also a famous alchemy expert, so he is more than enough to guide them.

This was a rare opportunity, and Wei Yuan didn't want to miss it, so he selected hundreds of people from the realm monks to learn alchemy on the spot.

When the auspicious time came and the bell rang, Wei Yuan and Xu Henshui put the first batch of medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace and began to refine the elixir.
