Chapter 16 "Farming"

Qi Xuansu entered the "inn" and came to the counter with a familiarity, putting his elbow on the counter.

The shopkeeper behind the counter looked up at Qi Xuansu: "This guest official, I don't know what business to do? As long as the price is right, it's easy to discuss."

Qi Xuansu said: "Shopkeeper, are you still doing a top-notch accommodation business here?"

The shopkeeper was silent and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

After a long time, the shopkeeper said, "There is a fire kiln on the second floor, and it is also empty."

"Fire Kiln" means shops and guest rooms.

Qi Xuansu smiled: "I don't know."

"I listened to the tone of the guest officer, not a new springboard, but a regular customer of our 'inn'." The shopkeeper looked up and down at Qi Xuansu.

"New springboard" means just debut.

Qi Xuansu did not hide it: "You can be considered a regular visitor for the time being, but you often go online, and you don't go online often."

"Yangying" means rising sun, which generally refers to the south, south road, and south; "Shangline" means being in this area, often being in the south, not often coming to this area.

The shopkeeper suddenly said, "It turns out he is a friend with Yang Xianghe."

It means friends in the south.

Qi Xuansu said: "It's easy to say."

Since he is a veteran, the shopkeeper has saved a lot of meaningless temptations and asked directly: "What's the point?"

Qi Xuansu also made it straight to the point: "I want to find out about a place called 'Baiyutang'. The shopkeeper opened the mountain and set up a cabinet on this line. I wonder if he had heard of it?"

The shopkeeper's eyes flashed: "Ask a little more, what should the guest officer do to "Bai Yutang"?"

Qi Xuansu said: "Help people run errands."

The shopkeeper asked again: "Can you report a man?"

Qi Xuansu said: "If you support your belly, you will have no ghosts on the top."

The so-called "stood support" is associated with "full support" from "stood support" and then from "stood support" to "hee". Therefore, "stood support" is extended to "hee", and "hee" is also homophonic to the surname "Wei".

It’s easy to explain that there are no ghosts above and no ghosts above, that is, “nothing” comes first and “ghosts” come back, and when they are connected, they are “Wei Wugui”.

If Qi Xuansu uses his real name, it is a floating vine in the air, with the upper and lower su.

"Brother Wei, you should know the rules of our inn." The shopkeeper said, "Everything is easy to talk, so the head of the pestle speaks first."

"Just, it's easy to say." Qi Xuansu tapped the counter with his fingers, "But we'll agree first, and we won't buy the one that we can buy."

"This is natural." The shopkeeper smiled, "but we don't want to smash the slurry here."

"Just Head" refers to silver and money, "selling and buying at sea" refers to talking about the large price first and then falling prices. "Smashing the slurry" means lowering the price.

The shopkeeper nodded slightly and stopped talking silly

: "Let's talk in another place."

Qi Xuansu said: "Wait, I have something to do."

"What's the matter?" asked the shopkeeper.

Qi Xuansu pointed to Qin Xiang beside him: "Is there any available room? Come and have one."

Qin Xiang was confused when he heard it. Just now, Qi Xuansu talked with the inn shopkeeper. She could understand every word, but she couldn't understand it when she was connected. It was not until the end that she understood a little, as if she wanted to let her live in the inn.

The shopkeeper turned his gaze to Qin Xiang. Although Qin Xiang covered most of his face with a hood, he was still recognized by the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper smiled and said, "This girl has been here a few days ago."

"Yes." Qi Xuansu said, "Let her stay for a few more days and wait for me to come back."

The shopkeeper said, "It's not that I'm not lucky to speak, what if I can't come back?"

Qi Xuansu thought for a while and said, "'Inn' has a good relationship with Qingluanwei, so let me notify Qingluanwei."

The shopkeeper's face changed: "What does the guest officer mean?"

"It's the literal meaning." Qi Xuansu didn't want to say more, "Let's talk about the serious matter."

The shopkeeper's expression changed, and finally waved to a friend and ordered: "Take this girl to the room she has stayed in."

Qin Xiang looked at Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu smiled and said, "Go, it's safe here. Usually no one will play wild in the 'inn'."

"This is natural." The inn shopkeeper echoed, but when he said this, he remembered the silence of a "inn" branch in Luzhou.

Qin Xiang then followed the guy to the guest room he had stayed in.

The shopkeeper stretched out his hand: "Please, please, please, the guest."

The two came to a separate room, which seemed to be the shopkeeper's study. In addition to a huge book case filled with various files, there were two rows of chairs against the wall. It seemed that this place also acted as a signing room, which could be discussed by multiple people.

The shopkeeper sat behind the desk, Qi Xuansu sat casually on a chair and said straight to the point: "The shopkeeper will offer a price, as long as I can afford it."

The shopkeeper did not rush to make a offer, but said: "Since the guest knows the existence of the 'Baiyutang', I think the guest also understands the specialty of the 'Baiyutang'."

Qi Xuansu really didn't know what special method Bai Yutang was, but he couldn't show his fear at this time, so he had to nod.

The shopkeeper continued: "So the price will not be very low, and I hope the customer will be prepared enough."

"How many?" Qi Xuansu felt a little bad premonition in his heart.

The shopkeeper stretched out two fingers.

Of course, Qi Xuansu would not think it was two hundred peaceful money, so he couldn't help but frown: "Two thousand?"

"Yes, two thousand." The smile on the shopkeeper's face remained unchanged.

Qi Xuansu was a little helpless. He failed to return to Yujing, but "drifted off the flying boat" halfway. So An family expenses and some silver coins were not available. Qi Niang intercepted his Wuyou money. He only had three hundred Taiping money savings, and the five hundred Taiping money given by Zhao Fu'an, a total of eight hundred Taiping money, which was still a long way from two thousand Taiping money.

Even if he had two thousand yuan, he doubted whether the compensation given to him afterwards could be guaranteed. It would be fine if he had a trip in vain, but he just thought it was for Qi Niang to help him. If he paid for it, it would be no good. There was no way. Those who were close to Zhu, those who were close to Mo Hei. After following Qi Niang for a long time, they were also infected with three or two points of habit.

The shopkeeper saw Qi Xuansu’s face showing a sense of dismay, and it was not surprising that the amount of 2,000 Pacific Money was too large, and then said: “Of course, if the guest cannot afford so much Pacific Money, he can use other methods, such as paying for work.”

Qi Xuansu understood that the shopkeeper probably deliberately offered a high price and then gave another way. The fundamental purpose was to ask him to help the "inn" work.

Qi Xuansu did not object: "I wonder what kind of business can be worth two thousand peaceful money?"

The shopkeeper said: "It's indeed a big deal. Brother Wei is often in the south, and there are densely populated areas, so the business is mainly about fighting with people. However, the northwest part is different. The land is vast and sparsely populated. There are not so many businesses fighting with people, but more about fighting with the sky."

"Fight with the sky?" Qi Xuansu only thought this statement was novel.

The shopkeeper said: "There are many unexplored places in Yongzhou, Xizhou and other places, either left over from ancient times, man-made, or even broken caves."

Qi Xuansu said: "I know, but that happened two hundred years ago. Since the Taoist Sect returned to Kunlun, Quanzhen Taoism has taken the lead in carrying out a series of "clearing land", which the Taoist Sect calls "camping farms."

"The guest official is an expert." The shopkeeper gave his thumbs up, "Since the guest official understands these, I'll talk about it. The exploration behavior of the Taoist sect leader is called "mixing farming" and has lasted for nearly a hundred years. The so-called military farming is to reclaim wasteland. According to the identity of the people who are reclaiming, it is divided into military farming, civil farming, and commercial farming. It can probably be divided in this way when it comes to the "mixing farming" of the Taoist sect. Not to mention Xizhou, only Yongzhou, Daomen and the imperial court are military farming, and the Daomen sect occupy half of the share, followed by the imperial court, which occupies 30% of the share. The remaining 20% ​​are Shangsect and civil farming. The so-called civil farming is actually handled by local tyrants, but in the eyes of the imperial court and the Taoist sect, it still belongs to the category of "civilians" and can occupy a certain share. It seems not much, but it is actually already

We can eat enough. As for Shangtun, it is naturally our "inn" and it is not easy for us to get this component, thanks to many old relationships that have been in operation for many years."

"So that's it." This was the first time Qi Xuansu heard this statement, but he could probably understand what the "inn" business is.

The shopkeeper continued: "As for the share here, it mainly refers to the 'fields' that have been initially reclaimed, and there are many 'bad land' that have been completely reclaimed, which are in the hands of others. I won't mention this for now. What we want to talk about is these 'fields' that have been initially reclaimed. Since it is initially reclaimed, we will need to be deeply plowed, including plowing, fertilizing, insect removal, weeding, etc.."

At first glance, this is what an old farmer farms have nothing to do with other things.

Qi Xuansu felt a little confused and said, "I'm afraid this is a errand job, right?"

"It cannot be said that the gods are responsible for 'opening up', and the subsequent 'deep cultivation' will be the responsibility of others." The shopkeeper explained.

Qi Xuansu thought for a while and asked, "So what is the commission this time?"

The shopkeeper said: "Although our 'inn' is also on the list of the 'secret associations' of the Taoist sect, it is still somewhat incense to the Taoist sect and the court. It is completely different from the Ziguang Society, Zhiming Sect, and Lingshan Witch Sect. The 'climbing farm we are talking about today is related to Zhiming Sect."

Qi Xuansu is waiting for the following article.

The shopkeeper said: "The 'field' in our hands was once a major area. Later, Zhiming Cult planned here for many years and secretly slapped curses, which eventually turned the living people here into zombies. Moreover, the living zombies could continue to infect other living people, and eventually turned into ghosts. The zombies formed a tide of corpses, spreading around and sweeping around, like siege."

"In this case, in order to prevent the tide of corpse expansion, the Taoist sect and the court had to choose to use the 'Phoenix Eyes Armor Three' and destroy it together with the living zombies."

"After many years, there was only a piece of ruins left there, but some zombies still wandered around. It was strange that these zombies seemed to be killed endlessly, and they were suppressed every year, like weeds in the fields, wildfires could not be burned, and the spring breeze grew again. The inn had to be cleaned up every year. This year, for some reasons, our branch had some insufficient staff, so we needed to recruit people from outside."

Qi Xuansu understood and asked again: "What about the specific situation?"
