Chapter 70 Interests will rise and fall, Shangyuan Rewards Club
Kangyuan City Crane Dance Tower is located in Mingshanfang, Beicheng.
In the seventeenth year of Yuanlong in the Wei Dynasty, Emperor Li Chenghao of Wei was touring the country. At that time, the imperial family of Wei Dynasty was in great power, and the aristocratic families did not dare to challenge them. In order to please the Emperor of Wei, the Xiao family spent huge sums of money to build high-rise buildings and entertained all kinds of operas.
That night the moon was in full bloom and the cranes were dancing and soaring. Emperor Wei was overjoyed and gave him the title of Immortal Banquet.
He was indeed promoted to immortality. The following year, Wei Emperor Li Chenghao died. The princes fought for power and mixed their hands with the art of apotheosis. The country was shaken, and it also laid the foundation for the collapse of the Wei Dynasty in the future.
Although the Wei Dynasty died, the Hewu Tower survived the war and became the first choice for hosting various major events in Kangyuan City.
…
"Treasure Appreciation Conference..."
Wang Xuan was sitting in the carriage, looking through the curtains at the cornices and brackets, the majestic tall buildings getting closer and closer, turned to Mo Huaixian next to him and asked: "Brother Mo, the family is relocating and everything is so busy, why do you have time?"
Participate in this?”
When working with others, you naturally need to know the details.
As Mo Huaixian said, the Mo family is not a big family. It arose in Huaizhou and has been doing business for generations. However, there are two figures in this generation.
One is an uncle from the Xian clan, Mo Huai. He studied at Shanhai Academy, gained the respect of his master, made many friends, and became an official in the court, until he reached the position of Minister of Household Affairs.
The other one joined the world and entered the main hall of Sihaimen after experiencing life and death. He was the old innkeeper who was responsible for touring Sihai inns all over the world.
The two men worked openly and secretly, and the court and Jianghu worked together to gradually build up some foundation for the Mo family. This time they worked secretly and got a quota.
To be honest, the Mo family is also smart. When they first came to Bingzhou, in order to avoid the suspicion of other families, they specifically chose a remote place in Yong'an and also found Wang Xuan, who was alone.
"Brother Wang doesn't know?"
Mo Huaixian was stunned for a moment, and then whispered: "Every year in the treasure appreciation conferences held in various places, all the treasures are just embellishments. The key is to exchange cultivation resources. Now that the government and army are restructuring, the prices of various materials will inevitably rise sharply."
Wang Xuan frowned slightly, "Will it cost a lot of money?"
There is no such thing as a spiritual stone in this world. If you have that kind of thing, the royal families of the past dynasties can even dig out the Longshou Mountain in Tiandu for you, and save it if you don't need it.
My previous family fortune was in decline, so I really don’t know much about the current situation in the spiritual world.
Mo Huaixian shook his head and said: "It's too wasteful to use silver. Use the exchange of votes instead."
"For the various Dharma families in Dayan to survive, the inheritance of force is only one of them, and they must have a foundation. For example, the talismans of the Taiyi Sect are the best, but the talismans are made by the Sima family in Huaizhou. The Xiao family is good at making fine talismans.
Mysterious copper is specially used by the imperial court's Ministry of Industry's refining workshop..."
Wang Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was keenly aware of something.
A stable world must have its own rules of the game. The royal family, the aristocratic family, the dharma lineage, the court, and the rivers and lakes. Perhaps it is because of the entanglement of interests between you and me that each can keep his own way.
Mo Huaixian didn't notice the strange look in Wang Xuan's eyes, and continued: "Whether cultivating elixirs, refining elixirs, refining mines, or making talismans, it all takes a long time. The quantities produced by each family every year are also similar, so they will go up every year.
During the festival, some exchange tickets are released in exchange for physical objects. As long as you hold the exchange tickets, you can get the real thing."
Wang Xuan was stunned when he heard this.
Why does this thing look a bit like futures?
Thinking of this, he quickly asked: "What if a certain family's dharma lineage encounters a disaster and cannot be fulfilled?"
Mo Huaixian smiled slightly, "Then consider yourself unlucky, but Brother Wang can change his mind. If the goods from this family are important enough and the amount is large..."
Wang Xuan realized something in his heart, "When encountering a disaster, some people may not want to bear the loss and will try to deal with it. Although the loss will be huge, at least they can survive!"
"That's right..."
Mo Huaixian said sternly: "Therefore, apart from the true inheritance of divine refining and physical refining, each family's secret technique of making spiritual materials is also the foundation of their existence. Anyone who covets it will be the enemy of life and death."
"I see……"
Wang Xuan suddenly wanted to understand many things, why the imperial court implemented a rationing system for military weapons in various places, and why the Taiyin Sect could still survive well despite doing so.
I am afraid that this will also be one of the means used by the imperial court to check and balance various military governments in the future!
Thinking of this, Wang Xuan had a headache, "What kind of resource secrets does the Mo family have?"
He originally thought that the Mo family had just started and would be completely broke. Unexpectedly, Mo Huaixian smiled slightly and took out a thick stack of redemption tickets from his arms, "Three thousand copies of the Taiyi Sect Talismans, one hundred boxes of Zhangzhou Danqing Pavilion spiritual ink.
Two hundred roots of Wuxiantang blood ginseng...Brother Wang, don’t worry, the Mo family’s investment in the military government is not just a matter of words.”
Wang Xuan was stunned, "Why do you have so many?"
Mo Huaixian's eyes became strange, "It's all my uncle's corruption gains..."
Seeing Wang Xuan's astonishment, he laughed and said, "Just kidding, the Yan Dynasty's treasury is empty, and my uncle is trembling in the household department, how could he fall into the trap of others?"
"However, the Ministry of Revenue and Sihaimen each have news. Wherever the wind is smooth and where the spiritual fields are destroyed by evil spirits in the mountains, I can know in advance. As long as you are fast, you can exchange things for things and earn the price difference."
Good guy, he turns out to be a speculator...
Wang Xuan smiled slightly, but was secretly wary in his heart.
There are many people who can get the news, but you can imagine how difficult it is to overcome many obstacles and make profits again and again.
This Mo Huaixian is far from as simple as it seems!
While talking, the carriage has arrived at the Hewu downstairs.
Huge stones are piled up under the Hewu Tower to form a platform. The ten-meter-high base needs to be climbed up by bluestone steps. At this time, the surrounding streets and open spaces have been cleared. There are sentries at three steps, all of which are armored and armed guards. There are arrows at high places around.
Hand patrol.
These guards had an awe-inspiring look all over them, and their eyes were sharp. They didn't look like tough soldiers in the army, but their aura was not bad at all.
Wang Xuan was not surprised either. The family controlled the border army, and many of the elite disciples in the family had experienced it, but the strength they showed now was only a drop in the bucket.
"Commander Wang, you are fine."
After walking a few steps, Manager Liu, who had gone to Yong'an to escort the refining diagram, came over. He held his hands and smiled politely, making people feel like spring breeze.
But, it's just polite.
Wang Xuan was not surprised. The legendary third son, Xiao Zhongmou, had used two favors to repay Xiao Qingman's life-saving and revengeful favor, and he had nothing to do with the Xiao family anymore.
After saying that, Manager Liu looked at Mo Huaixian again, smiled and said, "Master Mo, the Third Master heard that you came to Bingzhou and said that he must hold a banquet for you."
"I'm worried about you, Third Young Master, so I will definitely pay you a visit."
Mo Huaixian seemed to have changed his appearance, and his words were full of elegance.
After exchanging polite words, the two of them said goodbye and left. Manager Liu greeted the new guests, and carriages were arriving one after another from a distance.
After the two of them climbed the steps and walked away, Mo Huaixian sighed in a low voice: "Brother Wang, do you know why my Mo family wants to hide in Yong'an? Don't look at how some people are having fun now, and all the real talents in Bingzhou are watching with cold eyes.
From now on... remember, try not to mess with that Third Young Master!"
Wang Xuan smiled lightly and said, "Brother Mo, don't worry, Wang is a very kind person."
…
To Wang Xuan's expectation, the scale of the so-called treasure appreciation party was really quite large.
The Hewu Building has seven floors, and the trading floor alone occupies four floors.
Three of the floors are exhibition halls for elixirs, minerals, spiritual materials, etc. The Treasure Pavilion has erected a huge wooden board, on which each person's needs are written according to the number. If you want to trade, you can find someone to talk to him alone. The Xiao family even arranged a secret place.
On the way, Wang Xuan estimated the share based on the needs of the thousand-man team, most of which were mineral materials for refining evil weapons, elixirs for treating trauma, and some talismans for hunting monsters and spirits.
As for his "Taiyin Refining Diagram", the auction is scheduled for the afternoon.
There were quite a few people already present, not only the disciples of various schools, but some had strange eyes or nodded slightly after seeing him. As for the captains of the Imperial Army, they pretended not to see him.
Wang Xuan ignored it and discussed with Mo Huaixian secretly while looking at the panel.
In a trance, I felt like I was returning to the trading floor of my previous life.
Unknowingly, there were more and more people in the hall.
Suddenly, Wang Xuan glanced out of the corner of his eye and looked at two disciples of the Dharma lineage. The two men had ordinary faces and were wearing coarse preaching robes. After seeing him, they glanced at him briefly and left quickly.
Mo Huaixian whispered: "Those two are the Wu brothers from the Liuhe Yin and Yang Sect. Does Brother Wang recognize them?"
Wang Xuan shook his head slightly, "I don't know him, I just feel that the figure is a bit familiar..."
