Chapter 11 The Second Level of Road Building(1/2)

In the Western Outer City, Yashi, simple and messy shacks are connected together in a dense mass of darkness. On the ground, the gaps between the houses are filled with domestic garbage, and a stench lingers for a long time.

Bianjing is divided into two inner and outer cities and the imperial palace. The best street is Longqiao, which is located in the inner city and connects the Xuande Gate of the imperial city and the Yuanhua Gate of the outer city. It is the main north-south passage. There are ditches on both sides of the road for drainage, and the road width is

For a hundred meters, there were two cars of cattle and horses passing by like water, and there were tens of thousands of walkers.

The worst thing is Yashi. Half of Bianjing's ditch sewage is discharged into this low-lying alley. This was originally the sewage outlet of Bianjing, but now it has become a hotbed for evil.

Beggars, criminals, human traffickers, etc. are the permanent residents here, and it is also the only place in Bianjing that the government power cannot touch. Similar lawless places have been wiped out by the government countless times in history, but without exception they will reappear.

Jiang Fugui casually bought a monkey mask from the street. Through the introduction of some middlemen, he was led in by a scar-faced man. Countless eyes like hungry wolves gathered around him, staring closely at Shopkeeper Jiang's clothes of good fabric.

He lowered his head, not wanting to be in danger at first, but Gu Wen ordered that things should be done cleanly. Jiang Fugui had no choice but to come by himself, because the more people he dealt with, the easier it was to be exposed, so much so that in the Longqiao Business War, a shopkeeper personally committed suicide.

things.

Death warriors are something only aristocratic families can afford, and not just ordinary aristocratic families.

The big man smiled and said: "Don't worry, we also have to eat, and we can't cut off our own financial resources."

People like Jiang Fugui will never be the first to buy illegal goods, and they will definitely not be the last.

The meeting gift Jiang Fugui gave out was a hundred taels, and he looked like he belonged to a big businessman. There are two big businesses in the Ya market, namely buying and selling people and helping sell stolen goods. The main customers are not ordinary people, and there are countless people who hide their identities.

.

Jiang Fugui felt a little relieved, but still did not dare to take it lightly.

These are all desperadoes. Even if they are of great status, they will die even if they are stabbed.

The two of them turned around and entered countless alleys and turned into countless intersections. The intersections here seemed endless.

Countless earthen walls and shacks are like mines and caves, dark and dark, and you can hear weeping and wailing from time to time.

After walking for about a stick of incense, when Jiang Fugui became a little impatient, a small courtyard appeared in front of him. The small courtyard was not luxurious or luxurious, but it was rare and tidy. Compared with the surrounding environment, it looked like a palace.

The air was filled with the smell of medicine, and a man wearing cotton-padded clothes in summer was making soup. He only had one right hand and his back was turned to the two of them.

Jiang Fugui stepped forward and said, "Old One-Armed, my master said he wants five thousand taels of medicinal fruits."

"Five thousand taels, hehehe..."

An old and hoarse voice came, and the man turned around. Even though Jiang Fugui was already prepared, his eyes still dodge as if he had been stung.

He has a thin build, dark skin full of wrinkles, his face is covered with pockmarks, his left eye is black, and his only eye reveals coldness and ferocity, like a poisonous snake.

"It's really generous. Old man, I may not be able to earn five thousand taels all year round."

The imperial tax, military expenses and food supplies can easily amount to tens of millions of taels, but the amount of ten taels per person can be enough for ordinary people to eat and drink for one year, or two years if they do not have to pay various taxes.

The purchasing power of Daqian silver is very high. Five thousand taels is enough for a large family to live a good life for a lifetime.

Jiang Fugui said: "How much goods do you have?"

"But cash?"

"Of course it's in cash, and the money will be given immediately."

"Good! Atmosphere."

The old one-armed man stretched out a finger and said: "Twenty taels per finger."

"Come on, your mother, and raise the price for me, right?" Jiang Fugui suddenly became furious, and his curses attracted the thugs outside the door, who were clearly holding a big knife.

But little did he know that when they got here, Jiang Fugui, a thin man, was not afraid. He pointed at the other party and cursed: "Despicable thing, get out of here!"

Everyone is here, only by being strong-willed can we negotiate good business, instead of being a fat sheep.

The old one-armed man shook his head and asked his men to leave, and said slowly: "Don't be so angry. It's not that I want to raise the price, but I'm afraid of the government checking if the quantity is too large. If you want one or two, I can have someone steal them out. If you want five, I have to take care of Taifu Temple with just a thousand taels."

"Twenty taels is too expensive, I can't explain it to the master." Shopkeeper Jiang shook his head, then lowered the price and said: "Fifteen taels."

The two were in a stalemate for a long time, and finally settled on eighteen taels.

Five thousand taels of silver, that is, three hundred pieces, and the extra dozens are given as gifts. But even so, Jiang Fugui couldn't help scolding his mother. Didn't he know that he had been in business for so many years?

When the other party has surplus goods and gives a round amount as a gift, it means that the premium for this batch of goods is very high.

It's a pleasure to feed these dogs.

Jiang Fugui paid two banknotes worth a thousand taels, and then left with a hundred medicinal fruits. This was just the deposit for both parties.

The subsequent balance payment requires them to get the goods.

The old one-armed man picked up the boiled soup with his bare hands. The earthen pot had just been heated to a very high temperature by fire but it had no effect on him. He came to the door of the small courtyard, knocked three times and said: "Master , your medicine is ready."

After a long time, a slight cough came out.

"Why buy so many medicinal fruits?"

The old one-armed man replied: "I don't know, I'm afraid he is another worldly person."

"...I remember that the goddess of Sanqing Sect has descended to earth, but people like her probably don't need to come to the tooth market to make trouble. As long as the goddess of Sanqing moves her mouth, the Zhao family will send her there. "

There was another coughing sound in the room, and he continued after it subsided:

"This person wants so many medicinal fruits. His qualifications are obviously not good. He needs medicinal properties to help him build his path. He is not half as good as me."

The old one-armed man was shocked and asked: "Sir, have you finished it?"

There are shackles in the Immortal Land, so it is impossible to practice Qi, at least the normal way will not work. As long as there is good luck and misfortune, the Immortal Land can improve a person's qualifications and the upper limit of a person.

If you can walk in the land of immortality and avoid death, you will definitely have a golden elixir in the future.

However, the real genius is not for the golden elixir, but for the opportunity to ascend to immortality. They often need to forge a supreme foundation to carry the destiny.

"It can take as long as three months, or as little as one month. Now we are only halfway through building the road."

The voice behind the door was filled with pride.

"Congratulations, sir, congratulations, sir!"

The old one-armed man knelt down directly, his body trembling with excitement.

Building the Tao means embarking on the path to becoming an immortal, and it means that one will inevitably become a top powerhouse in the future.

It has only been five years since the Immortal Land was opened, but my son has already become a Taoist foundation. His future is immeasurable and he is truly a peerless genius!

------------------

On the other side, Jiang Fugui was sent out of the dental market, and a dozen strong water house workers were picking him up outside, so the secretly peeping eyes had to give up.

The long-term workers in the water houses are generally well-paid. In addition to being employees, they are also part-time thugs. Compared with the rats in the Ya market, these water workers who are raised by polished rice and noodles are much better.

It was late at night when we returned to the flower building, and even the flower building had become quiet, with only faint moans.

Gu Wen was still awake. He sat at the table and sorted out his account books, listing the treasures that were suspected of containing heavenly essence. At the same time, he also kept an eye on the various rare and exotic treasures that were sent to the palace.

Among them, there is a kind of Tianquan mountain water, which needs to be sent to the palace from their water house every month, and the process is guarded by the imperial army.

He didn't have much suspicion before, and he wouldn't be stupid enough to touch the emperor's things. If he really wanted it, he could buy it from the black market, and there would be no way he could be held accountable.

But things are different now. He is cautious and not timid. As long as the benefits are great enough, he will take off everything belonging to the emperor.

Tianquan landscape is not available on the market.

At this time, Jiang Fugui pushed open the door and walked in. He was not worried about seeing Mr. Wen standing tall. After all, he basically did not play with women due to his health.

"Master, I brought it back to you."

Jiang Fugui put a larger box on the table and complained angrily: "The price of pickled fish in this tooth market is so low and ridiculous. It was already outrageous at ten taels a piece, but now it has gone up to twenty taels. I will argue with reason."

It’s down to eighteen taels.”

"As long as you can buy it, money is not an issue."

Gu Wen opened the box and examined it and found that some of the products were too small and were probably inferior fruits. He immediately understood that the medicinal fruits were leaking out, and they were probably mixed out in the name of inferior fruits.

Jiang Fugui left, and Gu Wen grabbed a handful of the medicinal fruit and stuffed it into his mouth, swallowing it wholeheartedly.

A few hundred taels can be obtained by grabbing and releasing it with your hands, which is money that ordinary people cannot earn in their lifetime.

This is also the reason why Gu Wen still chooses to stay in Bianjing and stay with Zhao Feng. Maybe there are treasures everywhere in the world, or maybe the mountains and fields are full of treasures that can make him an immortal.

But how much can he take by himself?

It is better to stay here in Bianjing and wait for all the precious medicines in the world to be delivered.

The destiny is shaking, the Heavenly Essence is increasing, and the Imperial Essence is motionless.

Tianmui lasts for a year.

The Second Year of Heavenly Essence.

The last medicinal fruit was taken in, and the growth of Tianmui stopped for two years. It cost 5,000 taels and was only one-fifth of Fairy Yuhua's elixir.

Not only is it a waste of money, it's a waste of lives.

Gu Wen was a little depressed. Even for someone like him who didn't value money very much, spending such a huge amount of money would inevitably hurt his heart.

After all, only nine Heavenly Essences can help him learn the technique, and one allows him to master the first level of the technique skillfully.

Under his test, the effect of the first level of the technique was great but not that great. The so-called endless effect on the body is a surge in endurance. Gu Wen has not taken a breath since he practiced it.

But compared to flying into the sky and escaping from the earth, this is not an extremely powerful effect. Perhaps with a pair of heavy armor and a little more strength, he can kill everyone.
