Everyone sat down, and Zhao Feng wanted to say a few words and introduce the children of the aristocratic families, who would be his biggest help in fighting for the throne in the future.

But Yu Hua was obviously not interested and interrupted: "I just need to know about the water veins."

The young master from an aristocratic family who had already stood up to introduce himself suddenly stood awkwardly on the spot, his face a little confused, and the atmosphere became silent.

Gu Wen was drinking tea, and every ton was just half a pot of water. He hoped that Tiansui would move to save his precarious "asset".

It's a pity that the good tea leaves in the palace are of little use. It seems that the Zhao family is not yet luxurious enough to provide daily necessities with magical elixirs.

Zhao Feng coughed lightly and said, "Gu Wen, come up and answer the fairy's question."

Gu Wen stood up and came to the center of the hall to greet Zhao Feng and Yu Hua who were sitting at the main table. For some reason, he felt that the latter's eyes, hidden behind the gauze, were a little brighter.

Maybe it hasn't been exposed yet, but she must have seen some clues.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for Gu Wen to explain why a goddess who transcended imperial power would be interested in him. He would avoid her intentionally or unintentionally.

Yu Hua said: "Gu Wen, how many wells are there in the city?"

"There are a total of 1,631, and if dry wells are included, there are more than 2,000. Some wells have been filled up, so the total number cannot be known."

Gu Wen replied that he had not forgotten about the water veins and had taken the time to investigate specifically in the past few days.

"Is there any difference in well water?"

"Most of it is bitter water. The water is turbid and bitter. It needs to settle overnight before drinking. There are more than 200 clear water wells, which are clear and tasteless and can be drank directly. The least sweet water wells have less than 80 wells. It is sweet in the mouth and is popular with princes.

Loved by nobles."

"Take me to see the sweet water well. I want the best one in the city."

Before Yu Hua could get up, Gu Wen continued: "The younger one has asked the best well water in Bianjing to be sent to the palace. It was just fished out this morning."

"For more than an hour, there will be no trace of the spiritual energy dissipating."

Yu Hua shook his head and revealed a piece of information that Gu Wen was very interested in. Is the sweet water well in Bianjing City a spiritual spring?

Suppressing his doubts, he replied: "There are also ones within an hour. I was afraid that the fairy would have special needs, so I asked the water house clerk to deliver them every half an hour. I don't know if the half-hour ones are in line with the fairy's wishes."

"And it's noon at this time, the busiest time in Bianjing. There are crowds of cattle and horses, and it's a long way to go on foot. I'm afraid it will take more than an hour to go back and forth."

Yu Hua was completely speechless. Is this the efficiency of a mortal? Everything she could think of, and even things she couldn't think of, were done.

Looking at the neither humble nor arrogant young man below, a little depression dissipated.

The descendants of the surname Gu are reassuring in their work, much better than Zhao Feng, whose brain looks like it was kicked by the mountain guardian beast of the Sanqing Sect.

"Then it's all up to you."

She nodded slightly and said nothing.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Feng, the master of the family, also felt very proud and said with a smile: "Marquis Wen has done a great job, and I will be rewarded with five hundred taels."

Five hundred taels can feed an ordinary person for a lifetime, but to Zhao Feng it is just a casual reward, and the children of the surrounding aristocratic families do not think it is a problem.

A smile in front of a beautiful woman is worth spending a lot of money on.

Troubled times are essentially caused by the rich getting richer. The source of the intensification of all social conflicts is probably mergers and exploitation. Money never appears out of thin air.

So if Gu Wen stays here, power is the highest level of plunder.

The deposit was 8,000 taels, increased by 500 taels, to 8,500 taels.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Gu Wen took the treasure note from the eunuch Feng Xiang and mentally calculated that five hundred taels could buy twenty medicinal fruits, which would probably be half a year's worth of heavenly marrow.

Assuming that the perfection of each of the five internal organs requires two days of heavenly marrow, a total of ten heavenly marrows can be used to break through to the third level.

Eight thousand five hundred taels is equal to eight and a half heavenly marrow, and there is still one and a half heavenly marrow to break through to the third level.

The first level can make his breath last for a long time, and his physical strength can be restored faster than consumed. The second level can make his weak body fully recover, and his ears and eyes can be sensitive enough to hear the sound and identify the position. But these are not enough to be fucked. He can still be invincible in pursuit, and I hope that the third level can give him some self-protection capabilities.

If not, then go to the fourth level and stay dormant until the ninth level!

Cultivation is difficult, but it is not particularly difficult. There are many opportunities in Bianjing.

Gu Wen exhaled slightly to let out the excitement in his heart, bowed his hands and said: "I'll go first to see if the well water has been delivered."

"Go." Zhao Feng waved his hand, and then said as a sign of closeness and appreciation: "Don't call yourself a junior in the future. This is a title for a slave. You are already the Wenhou of Daqian."

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the people around him changed slightly, and even the children of the aristocratic families began to look at Gu Wen.

They are not stupid, they are all representatives of a certain big family and the future head of the family.

Zhao Feng intended to promote Gu Wenqi's status in the government.

Gu Wen showed an expression of extreme surprise, bowed his head and thanked her again, and then turned around and left.

When he stepped out of the lobby and no one could see his face, all the emotions on his face completely disappeared. The breeze ruffled his hair, and his deep black eyes showed a trace of disdain.

The extravagance and laughter behind him are just a dream. When the food and salary of the border army are completely swallowed up by the officials of all sizes along the road, when the county soldiers guarding the city need to rely on the money from trading and plundering with the bandits, when the regiment in the countryside Yong is completely reduced to living as a bandit.

When all the military machinery that originally maintained order in Da Gan is completely paralyzed, it will be its demise.

According to Gu Wen's knowledge, the above has basically been achieved, so it is very fast.

This cannot be solved by extraordinary power. The conflict is never an open rebellion, unless the Zhao family can kill everyone.

Only Yu Hua watched all of this quietly. From the plain black figure in her thoughts, she saw the war and the iron horse, the approaching troubled times, and the certainty of an ordinary person facing the troubled times.

But now there is a Daojun Emperor in Daqian, a powerful person at the level of a Heavenly Lord.

She felt more and more special about Gu Wen.

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

The entrance to the palace.

Gu Wen took a spoonful of well water and put it into his mouth. It was cool and sweet, but his fortune did not respond.

But the true energy in the body has become active. This may be the so-called spiritual energy. No wonder so many wealthy families are flocking to "Sweet Water Well".

If Zhao Feng hadn't been the prince, I probably wouldn't have been able to hold such a good thing in my hands. It seems that there are many things in Bianjing that I don't know about. Those sparse and ordinary things may have something magical about them. .

And these aristocratic families have a monopoly on knowledge. Even after Gu Wen guarded the well for three years, he only became the leader of the watermen. Without the method of cultivation, it is useless to think hard.

It's just that Tianmui is not spiritual energy, so it is of little use to me.

"Carry it in."

He led two water house men to carry a wooden barrel about half a person's height into the palace. During this process, he passed a relatively high step. One person stepped on the empty barrel and the entire barrel tilted. Gu Wen quickly stretched out his hand to help the huge wooden barrel. The barrel is straightened directly.

Although he didn't lift it, he just helped to lift it, a bucket of water also weighed a hundred kilograms. Gu Wen just lifted it lightly, and it felt like he was lifting it lightly.

The two watermen were sweating profusely because of their mistakes, and they apologized again and again, but they did not notice at all that they had extraordinary powers.

"Keep walking."

Gu Wen didn't care too much and let Shui Fu continue walking inside, while he clenched his fists and recalled the feeling just now.

Cultivation did not allow him to fly into the sky and escape from the earth, but its benefits actually affected his body. It's just that this natural strengthening was somewhat difficult for people to notice, and it was a bit unprepared.

You have to pay attention in the future.

In the lobby, two watermen moved the buckets into it, and the originally lively conversation suddenly became quiet.

As the water man withdrew, everyone's eyes focused on Gu Wen, and these eyes were transferred as he presented the water inside in a porcelain bowl.

Yu Hua touched the water with her fingertips, and a subtle wave of spiritual energy stirred up the water in the bowl. She pondered for a long time. Because of the bamboo hat, outsiders could not see the changes in her expression, and Gu Wen, who had just entered the practice, could not judge what she was doing through the subtle fluctuations. .

Being inexpressive of emotions and anger is a very high quality. Covering your face is even more effective than this quality. Outsiders don't even have the chance to observe your words and expressions, but not everyone can use it.

It's easy to get caught while walking on the street, and those in higher positions are afraid of being impersonated, so I'm afraid only the Immortal family can play like this.

Yu Hua asked: "Gu Wen, where is this well?"

"Longqiao Water House, Longquan Well." Gu Wen answered.

The best well will naturally be directly controlled by the palace.

Zhao Feng on the side did not give up any opportunity to chat, and also said: "Longqiao was originally famous for the water from this well. The meals made with Longquan water have a unique flavor. I just found Longquan extraordinary and established the water. The house created this heaven and earth in Bianjing."

However, this was made up by Gu Wen back then, and it was the first successful marketing case in Daqian. Moreover, Longqiao itself was a very prosperous commercial street, and it was only because of his encouragement that it became the number one.

Naturally, it doesn’t have the unique flavor used for cooking. Longquanjing tastes really good, but if you mix it with oil and salt, you know what it tastes like.

Gu Wen twitched his lips, but did not expose Zhao Feng. He could understand that a licking dog was eager to express himself.

'This idiot doesn't even know what his subordinates are making up. It turns out that licking a dog is just for pooping.'

Yu Hua heard the vulgar words in his ears, but he didn't feel angry. Instead, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

The way the descendant of the surname Gu scolds people is also quite interesting. There are a few words she has never heard of, but it does not hinder her understanding.

She said to Zhao Feng: "Lingquan is wise, you should drink more."

hiss!

Fairy...is she caring about me?

Zhao Feng's eyes widened in disbelief, and then his cheeks quickly became rosy. He couldn't hide the joy in his tone and said: "Don't you dare not listen to the fairy's words. From now on, your meals must be cooked with Longquan water, and you must only drink Longquan water." ."

"Gu Wen, I leave this matter to you. I need to be able to drink Longquan water within an hour every moment."
