[Chapter 679 The Blind Man Who Greed for Money]

Everyone got up and left, but one person stood up but did not retreat immediately, but stayed at the end, and even when everyone left, this person still hesitated, neither retreating nor making a statement.

This person is not someone else, but Jiang Ci, the owner of Yanshan City. Yanshan is the territory directly under the jurisdiction of the brave king Jiang Zhen. This time Jiang Ci also came to help a bear with Jiang Zhen.

Seeing Jiang Ci hesitate to speak, Wu Zhongyuan vaguely guessed why he hesitated. The mountain where the Leopard Lin Beast is located is in Yanshan Mountain. The leopard’s pregnancy period is three months. According to the time, the Leopard Lin Beast should have given birth at this time. It is very likely that Jiang Ci is going to recite this matter. The reason why he is hesitant is undoubtedly because this matter is too confidential. Jiang Ci is not sure whether he should let other people in the hall know about it.

“Jiang Ci, do you have good news to tell the widow?” Wu Zhongyuan asked with a smile.

“The saint is wise and wise, and it is in one word.” Jiang Ci was the most flattering among all the city lords.

“How many?” Wu Zhongyuan asked again, the combination of the tiger dragon beast and the leopard lin beast is not necessarily Qiongqi, only the tiger head and the leopard tail, and the dragon claw and the lin body.

“It seems that there is only one.” Jiang Ci said.

“One?” Wu Zhongyuan frowned, using modern words to say that both the tiger dragon beast and the leopard lin beast are hybrids, and their offspring will randomly inherit the genes of their parents.

“It seems that there is only one,” Jiang Ci said. “Worrying about disturbing them, the last commander didn’t dare to get too close.” “Okay, I understand, I’ll go there personally.” Wu Zhongyuan nodded and said.

Jiang Ci nodded yes, bowed and walked away.

Wu Zhongyuan didn’t tell everyone what he and Jiang Ci were talking about, and everyone didn’t ask questions. If Wu Zhongyuan wanted to say it, he would take the initiative to say it.

Wu Zhongyuan had been away for half a year and knew nothing about what happened during this time. He left everyone in the Zhongtian Temple to listen to everyone’s reports.

Previously, Wu Zhongyuan had a brief conversation with the old blind man outside the palace, but it only involved the issue of food. The old blind man was the prime minister and was in charge of the six ministries. This time, he also reported and the six ministries supplemented.

The old blind man knew that Wu Zhongyuan was most concerned about people’s livelihood issues, so he talked in great detail. Hundred-day rice and purple sweet potato had already been harvested at this time. At present, the main rations in the major cities are purple sweet potato, which is the potato of later generations. , The storage period of purple potato is no more than one year, so it is eaten first. This thing can be used as a staple food. Until modern times, potatoes are the staple food in many poverty-stricken areas.

Wu Zhongyuan had previously issued a decree to give priority to ensuring the food supply of the Sifang Camp, and the rice grain saved by the people was mainly supplied to the Sifang Camp.

Since it is still in the hunting ban period, the meat is mainly Hutu

Mainly, the rabbit species was brought by the black widow when the clan moved southward. Last year, Wu Zhongyuan distributed the rabbit species to the major cities. At this time, the breeding of Hu rabbits has begun to take shape.

During this period of time, the Heiji Mountain Armadillo, led by Wu Lao Er, has been busy digging holes. There are seventy-two wall cities. The city needs to dig at least one cave for refuge. Those who rely on mountains will dig caves, and those who have no mountains will dig underground holes. This work is now nearing completion.

During the harvest season of 100-day rice and purple sweet potato, foreigners tried to set fire to the rice grain and attracted wild beasts to eat the purple sweet potato. Because Wu Zhongyuan had previously issued a ban on hunting, the people did not dare to hurt the wild beasts that spoiled the crops at will. , the old blind man decided to act expediently after consulting with everyone, and hunted and killed those wild beasts that were wasting food.

The old blind man was very nervous when he talked about this. He didn’t feel relieved until Wu Zhongyuan affirmed his actions. Commands are dead, people are alive, and sometimes they have to be flexible.

The Yinma River has also entered the right track at this time. Along with the business, there is also currency. The shell coins made of copper are collectively referred to as money. One shell coin is one coin, and the value of one coin is one pound of salt.

The people of Kuicheng and Zhou Raoguo have also settled down. In the past six months, Dasha has carved out a broad road connecting the barbarians and the Middle Earth. Passing through Kuicheng, the destination is the Yinma River. Salt and sea goods can be found at Shipped to Yinmahe in a very short time for sale.

The Yi people also fulfilled their previous promise to him, and gave a part of the beach where they fished, hunted, and dried salt to the people in Kuicheng. At this time, in addition to the normal exchange and trading of salt, Kuicheng and the Yi people also donated a large amount of salt to the people of Kuicheng. There are bears. At this time, the salt stored by ourselves is enough for the needs of Dayuan City for five years. The autumn and winter seasons are good seasons for drying salt. By the end of the year, we should be able to store enough salt for ten years.

The Yi people originally had some Tiangang crossbows and Disha bows. After the road was opened, they were sent to the Sifang camp, but the number was far from enough. At this time, their arsenal had been built and began to manufacture various weapons. A skilled firearms craftsman, he is composed of three barbarians who are good at making strong bows and crossbows.

The soldiers of the four camps have also all been in place. According to his previous instructions, a large number of low-level warriors have been deployed. Each camp has 10,000 soldiers and 2,000 warriors. Li Wanzi is in charge of the personnel department. Recently, he has been busy with Zhu Qianwei. Selecting warriors of all ranks stationed in the camp, this time the rebels suddenly attacked, and Li Wanzi and Zhu Qianwei, who were far away at the border, did not hear any news.

The old blind man has always wanted to draw a complete map of the Central Plains, thinking it will be used for commanding operations in the future, but at this time he is busy with official business and cannot do it himself. They were entrusted to record the mountains and rivers on their behalf. At this time, the map of the Central Plains had already taken shape.

Wang Xinran was the Queen of the Middle Palace, but before that she was an officer of the 18th Bureau. People in the system often held meetings. She was not unfamiliar with similar meetings. It was for some matters in the arsenal. The gunpowder made by the Rat Race was of poor quality and could not be used as a propellant, and the firearms produced were limited in power. She is trying to improve this problem.

After getting the Hunyuan Ding, Jiang Nan has been researching it. Although the research is still in the theoretical stage, it has a general context. The Hunyuan Ding is different from the ordinary Dan Ding. Compared with the Five Elements, there are many variables. It is not just a mess of spirits that can be thrown into a high-level medicine pill.

If you want to open the furnace, the sum of the spiritual energy contained in various spiritual objects must reach the amount of condensing a jade essence elixir. Below this amount, the Primordial Cauldron cannot be activated.

In other words, the limit that Hun Yuan Ding can refine pills is Yu Yuan cultivation. The so-called Yu Yuan is the pinnacle of Jinxian, but if the spirit is thrown in, it does not necessarily come out a Yu Yuan pill, it may also be the quantity. For other grades of elixir, the total aura of the elixir will not decrease, but the aura will be scattered. The most unfortunate one is a pile of red elixir. Under normal circumstances, blue elixir is mostly, and if you are lucky, purple elixir There will also be spirit pills, and the black spirit pills of Sanxu cultivation base are relatively few, but not very few.

As for the white elixir of the three spiritual cultivation base, it is extremely rare, and the golden elixir of the three yuan cultivation base may be fired tens of thousands of times without a single one.

In addition, after the Hunyuan Cauldron is opened, the elixir that comes out is often very mixed, not a single rank. It may be mixed with elixir of different ranks. Although the success rate of alchemy is 100% , but the pros and cons all depend on luck. To put it mildly, it is called luck, and to put it bluntly, it is gambling.

After discovering this drawback of the Hun Yuan Ding, Jiang Nan did not hide it, but told the old blind man in time, and the old blind man also informed those who wanted to borrow the Hun Yuan Ding, thinking that this uncertainty would make everyone They retreated in spite of the difficulties, but they never thought about it, but they made them even more crazy. Everyone has a fluke mentality. It’s like buying a lottery ticket. They are all going for five million. .

In addition to refining Qi-boosting elixir, Hunyuan Ding can also refine other targeted elixir, such as anti-poison, healing and other elixir. These do not need to reach the amount of jade, as long as they are recorded according to the bronze medal. Once the recipe is prepared with spirits, it can be tempered by the furnace.

Wan Shanhong has a collection of Southern Wilderness Hundreds of Herbs. In the past six months, he has also sent people to the Southern Wilderness to follow the map, but the harvest was not very satisfactory. When the Primordial Cauldron came out, people were everywhere looking for spiritual things, and many spiritual things were Was taken first by others.

If the first-in-command and the second-in-command have the same character, they will definitely not be able to do their jobs well. UU Reading www.sonicmtl.

The first and second leaders of com have complementary personalities and are the best partners. Wu Zhongyuan is very generous, while the old blind man likes to plan carefully. In the past six months, he received a lot of “deposits” for borrowing Hunyuan Ding. The so-called deposits are all kinds of spiritual things.

As long as someone wants to borrow it, the old blind man agrees and accepts the deposit. When the other party fails to collect the spiritual items needed to open the furnace, the deposit will naturally be confiscated.

Even if you get it all together, you still have to pay rent. The rent is also a spiritual item. If the other party wants to make alchemy, he has to donate the same amount of spiritual item. To put it bluntly, if someone else practices it once, he will earn it once.

This kind of behavior of the old blind man is good at calculating, and if it is ugly, it is black, and he is an unscrupulous profiteer.

The hundred or so people who had helped their side against the rebels before had basically paid the deposit. These people were still waiting for the alchemy to start in October. If the Yellow Emperor changed hands, the previous deposit would be for nothing.

In addition, the old blind man is also madly accumulating money. In the battle on the coast of the East China Sea, his own reputation has spread far and wide. Tribes in and out of the Central Plains have come to pay tribute and become ministers. The old blind man is more hospitable than Heshen. As long as others dare to send it, he will dare to Collected a large amount of various war preparation materials in a very short period of time.

“Those people came to pay tribute to seek shelter. If he came to ask for help, how could we just sit back and ignore it?” Wu Zhongyuan was a little worried.

The old blind man said, “Your Majesty, I am sorry for the blunt words of the ministers, even if we do not accept their tributes, and they come to ask for help in the future, you can’t just sit back and ignore them.” He’s not the kind of person who can’t be saved. Even if others don’t give gifts, he will come to ask for help with snot and tears, and he can’t be ruthless to let them sit still.

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan didn’t answer, the old blind man knew that he was worried, so he said, “We have collected a lot of spiritual objects these days, enough to open the furnace more than ten times, the Holy Master should check the Hunyuan Cauldron…”
