In this way, Lin Shan successfully became the supreme guest of the Zhao family under the "unity" with Mr. Zhao and a group of clan elders, and the Zhao family would do their best to meet all his requests.
At the same time, the head of the Zhao family also strongly requested that Lin Shan should be given a certain amount of guest tribute every year, but Lin Shan refused to accept it.
The elders of all clans could not help but burst into tears of gratitude.
Other tribesmen can only look at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and it all depends on the clan elders and family heads to make the decision.
In fact, some people were also very excited. Not only did their family survive the disaster, but they also clung to the innately strong ones.
As for the first-class masters and servants who were casually killed by Lin Shan earlier, the family head and clan elders pretended not to mention it, and the people below naturally did not dare to have any objections.
…
The next morning, at the meeting in the main hall of the Lin family, a young man in white was sitting on the head of the family's seat in the center of the hall, and many old deacons of the clan were sitting in two rows in front of the side hall.
Quietly listening to the person in front of the young man in white, Mr. Zhao, the head of the family, giving instructions on various new tasks.
"Third brother, you are in charge of the two major families in the north of the city."
"Fifth uncle, you are in charge of the antique market in the south of the city."
"Seventh sister, you are in charge of all pawn shops in the west of the city."
"My dear nephew, you are in charge of all the chamber of commerce escort agencies in the east of the city."
"Qing Yan, you are responsible for the surrounding counties."
…
"Everyone, please remember! What the Young Master wants is an antique of great age, and at the same time, it must have a certain cultural and historical background, be widely circulated and praised, and have some items of worship from hundreds of schools of Buddhism and Taoism.
Oh, by the way! Don’t move the golden statues of Buddha from all temples.
besides..."
…
At Mr. Zhao's order, baskets of gold and silver were moved to the lobby, as well as boxes of jewelry and jade.
"Don't deliberately save money when purchasing antiques. As long as they meet the conditions mentioned by the young master, I will buy them all! Do you understand?"
Everyone raised their hands and said, "I will obey the order of the master of the family!"
At the same time, he secretly looked up at the main seat and saw the young man in white smiling and nodding, then carrying away the treasures one by one, exiting the lobby, and going to do their own business.
…
"Sir, I have ordered people to secretly sell off part of the family's property in exchange for more cash and silver. It will be delivered soon, and then I can eat more antiques."
Mr. Zhao felt bitter in his heart. After all, these properties had been slowly laid out by the Zhao family for hundreds of years, but now they were under the control of others. In order to complete the task, they had to sell them at a ruthless price.
"Yes, Not Bad."
Lin Shan put down the tea cup in his hand and smacked his lips. He heard that this tea was very expensive, but he felt it was a bit bitter and couldn't tell why it was so expensive.
"You, the Zhao family, should focus on the antique business from now on. There are not many antiques that meet the requirements that I am looking for. You can keep the ones that are useless by the time. You can also use them as waste."
Lin Shan did not forget to give his kind advice, and Mr. Zhao naturally said yes again and again.
Of course, seeing the Zhao family working so hard, Lin Shan naturally understood that he could not just let the horses run without letting them eat grass. He promised that if the Zhao family had any enemies that could not be solved, he could help.
Mr. Zhao was naturally overjoyed, but he knew that it was a big deal to help Lin Shan find antiques first and waited until the matter was completed before speaking. Are he still afraid that Lin Shan wouldn't help?
The two chatted for a while, and then Lin Shan stayed at Zhao's house, while Mr. Zhao was busy arranging money.
…
Half a month later, boxes of antiques were moved into the lobby by the Zhao family.
"This way, this way!"
"lighter!"
"Put it there, put it there!"
…
Mr. Zhao carefully checked and screened the account books one by one, and ordered everyone in the hall to arrange them.
After all the acquired antiques were placed, Chong Linshan nodded, led everyone out of the lobby, and closed the door thoughtfully.
At this time, Lin Shan was the only one left in the hall. He was as excited as a child, rubbing his hands constantly, not knowing where to start.
"So many antiques cost a total of two hundred thousand taels of silver, which is really a lot of money! If it were me, I would be too busy!"
You must know that the annual tax revenue of the entire Song Dynasty was only four million taels! And the Xangqi County was far away in southern Xinjiang, not as rich as Jiangdong, and the government's annual tax revenue was only one hundred thousand taels.
This house of antiques is enough to be worth two years of Zangda County's tax revenue, and it has also consumed the Zhao family's hundreds of years of accumulation.
Lin Shan looked at the antique calligraphy, paintings, and jade carvings all over the floor, and he truly realized the benefits of having a powerful person under his command. There was no need to spend any money or effort on his own, and antiques from all over the place gathered in all directions and rolled in.
"I hope you won't disappoint me."
Lin Shan started his favorite singing session.
…
The main door of the main hall was closed from noon until the sun was about to set. Just when Mr. Zhao couldn't sit still, the door opened with a creak.
Lin Shan slowly walked out of it, just in time to meet the afterglow of the setting sun. He squinted his eyes and enjoyed this tender moment. At this time, he seemed to be bathing in a water hot spring, and his whole body was in a state of ecstasy.
Mr. Zhao stood outside the door and did not dare to disturb him. After a while, Lin Shan nodded slightly and said, "Take away all the antiques inside. They are of no use to me anymore."
…
This time, the Zhao family searched for almost all the antiques in the entire Zanggao County that met Linshan's "so-called" conditions.
However, due to various reasons, there are only six pieces that actually contain ancient charm, four of which only have 1 point of ancient charm, and only two have 2 points.
What surprised Lin Shan was that one of the antiques with 2 points of ancient rhyme turned out to be an "Evil Sword Book"!
It turns out that in the martial arts world of southern Xinjiang, there was a powerful innate sword technique known as the "Evil-Repelling Sword Manual", which was living outside and was not controlled by the big forces.
At that time, all the casual martial arts practitioners went crazy. When chasing this sword technique, masters from all sides appeared along the way and fought constantly. All kinds of vicious methods were used in an endless stream, and they would go to any lengths to get the secret book.
After all, acquired internal martial arts are secrets that are not taught by major sects, let alone innate martial arts!
Many first-class experts in the opposition have no way to advance, and they are unwilling to work as dogs for the wealthy families. Now that they have such an opportunity, who is willing to miss it?
It is said that that battle affected most of the martial arts community in southern Xinjiang, and countless masters died, including twenty or thirty first-rate masters.
The last ruthless man who was stuck in half-step of innateness finally got it, but after he got it, he discovered that the first line of the evil-fighting sword manual,
"If you want to practice this skill, you must first go to the palace"!
You must know that becoming a sissy, except for special reasons, not many masters are willing to do so. After all, everyone has improved their cultivation, and they are not pursuing power, beauty and money!
If it were replaced by innate skills, maybe everyone would be able to accept it.
In order to practice a bad swordsmanship and make himself into a human being and a ghost, the half-step innate ruthless man was naturally not happy, so he publicized this matter.
Since then, the entire southern Xinjiang, including ordinary people, has known that there is such a wonderful innate martial arts, but it has just been wandering around in circles for hundreds of years, and no one knows who is in the hands. It was secretly taken away by the Zhao family's antiquities raiding force.
I brought it back by mistake.
【Evil Sword Manual】
Quality: Innate Martial Arts
Introduction: If you want to practice this skill, you must first practice it from the palace!
Strengthening requirements: 8 points
…
Lin Shan looked at the secret book in his hand with a look of pain on his face. The reason why he did not give it to Mr. Zhao to recycle it was because he felt that if this thing was strengthened, it might be the sword technique of this Qi training period!
It's still somewhat valuable.
You must know that the only spell he has mastered now is Wind Blade Technique. You can say it is a Qi training spell, which is fine, but if you say it is average, there is nothing wrong with it! After all, it is a technique for using spiritual power.
.
After becoming an immortal cultivator, people will naturally not punch or kick like ordinary mortals. Casting spells and using magic weapons to fight are routine operations.
Wind Blade Technique, the foundation among the basics, is similar to Fireball Technique with other attributes, Water Arrow Technique is just average, and it is no different from Peace A. The enhancement panel is too lazy to take care of it.
"This introduction is nonsense! Can't you introduce me more?"
Lin Shan was hesitant. He had just obtained a total of 8 points of ancient rhyme from all the antiques in the lobby. This innate martial arts "Evil Sword Book" can naturally be strengthened.
But he wasn't sure whether he would need to commit suicide after strengthening it!
"If you commit suicide just to practice a Qi-training spell, wouldn't it be too cost-effective..."
After spending 8 points of ancient rhyme and betting on an uncertain future, Lin Shan gave up.
"Forget it, put it away first and talk about it later."
Putting aside the matter of the sword manual, Lin Shan saw that the Zhao family had almost done everything. There was probably not much money left to plunder in the entire antique circle in Zangqi County.
If we come here next time, we will have to wait at least a hundred years later. Whether antiques will have a new ancient charm by then is still a matter of debate.
Chapter completed!
