Chapter 9: Emergence, Realm Test
Today, the Dan Tai family mainly deals in weapons and weapons in Nanjun City. Every year, the military orders alone are enough to make the Dan Tai family full. The military relationship also ensures that the Dan Tai family can carry out some small-scale remote businesses.
The Holy Heaven Dynasty did not set up an official camp, and any items could be sold privately. The tax amount was quite high. The powerful military power and the power of the cultivators ensured the concentration of imperial power. However, in the vast territory, some practitioners did no-price transactions, which created great difficulties for merchants when conducting large-scale commercial activities. It can be said that things that cannot be tasted and used by everyone in some regional reasons are particularly high. In this way, the silver and gold tickets required for large-scale transactions made the silver and gold tickets of the government the largest income of the Holy Heaven Dynasty, except for tax revenue. Huitong Tianxia is naturally the most credible government. How can the interests of private vendors be so as to be so? It can be said that the largest merchant in the world is the imperial government.
Martial arts become a trend, and blacksmith shops are naturally springing up after a rain. Other transactions in each city are not indispensable, but this blacksmith shop. In order to allow the rich to get the greatest benefits, local governments have begun to restrict them, allowing only a certain amount of blacksmith shops to exist.
The No. 15 Blacksmith Shop is the profit cake distributed by the Dan Tai family. It is not large in scale but only has the qualifications to trade weapons. Over the years, it has been a reward from the family to the core members. When it comes to the hands of direct children, it is equivalent to pocket money, and it continues to flow. If you have a good management, you have a little less. If you don’t have the right management, you have no right to ask for money from the elders of the family. This is also a way to assess the core direct children.
The blacksmith shop is in a good location. It is on the side of the mainstream road in Nanjun City. The door is not big. After finding it according to the sign on the land deed, Nie Kong walked in. It was a very typical blacksmith shop layout. There were slightly neat cargo racks and counters on the outside. The hot stove could be seen in the patio and sweated all over, waving an iron hammer to beat the iron tools on the anvil, and the apprentice waved a large iron hammer to beat the iron blank.
There are four people in the entire blacksmith shop, one sells goods and the accountant Zhou Laoban, one blacksmith master Wang Wu, two apprentices Heizi and Goudan.
Seeing Nie Kong, the new son-in-law of the Dan Tai family and the new owner of the blacksmith shop, the enthusiasm he should have was not seen. Zhou Laoban, the actual manager in the shop, held a cigarette puff in his mouth. He did not take Nie Kong's words to ask him to take out the account books to reconcile the accounts. He pulled out the book and threw it on the table, sat in the chair with his legs crossed his legs and curled his lips. He didn't believe that this famous waste in Nanjun City could understand the account books that were fiddled with by his own hands, and even the young lady could not see the problem.
Nie Kong held the account book in his hand and flipped it casually, without stopping, and stepped into Wang Wu's "work" area. Looking at him sitting in the corner with his beard and bearded and drinking water, he glanced at the solid short and strong young man Heizi, the big hammer beside him, and his clothes were pretty clean. At this time, his eyes were twisting and rubbing his hands, showing a faint humble attitude towards Nie Kong, and he also wanted to observe whether Zhou Laoshang was paying attention to the apprentice Goudan here. He once used to observe the passers-by on the street with a hat to verify whether the book of viewing people he had read was accurate. At this moment, facing several ordinary people who did not hide their emotions, Nie Kong was too lazy to talk too much, put the account book on the table, and said to Zhou Laoshang lightly: "Take your monthly salary and leave. Goudan, can you sell goods and make accounts?"
"What, what are you saying!" Zhou Laoban, who was raised with his legs, almost leaned over the chair. Yan choked, his face full of disbelief, and pointed at Nie Kong and shouted loudly.
"I said, you can get out." Nie Kong poked his hand and pinched Zhou Laobang's arm. When the other party's expression showed pain, he kicked him on the butt, kicked him out of the shop, and threw him on the street at the door.
In troubled times, the chaos is heavy. Zhou Laoban cannot blame others, he can only blame his unclear hands and feet, but he just happened to catch up with Nie Kong's death.
"You...you..." Zhou Laozhang stood up, looked at Nie Kong angrily and cursed: "What are you? I have worked in the Dantai family for the rest of my life..." Before those words of praise for their achievements were expressed, Nie Kong in the pavilion pulled out a wide knife from the wall, giving people the feeling of waving his arms casually. With a click, the chair Zhou Laozhang was sitting in before was chopped into two halves by the wide knife.
"You, wait." Old Zhou ran away in panic, his eyes full of viciousness.
Wang Wu looked at Nie Kong in shock, while Goudan shrank his neck and lowered his head without saying a word.
"You don't need to say anything. You do your own job well. Can you do it?"
"Yes!" If people don't punish themselves, they will be punished by heaven and earth. Goudan doesn't want to serve Zhou Laoban for the rest of his life, and then only take a little bit of the small money he rewarded.
Nie Kong nodded and turned to leave the blacksmith shop. The entire blacksmith shop and the surrounding shops were stunned by this reckless and strange behavior. Where was this? In the end, Wang Wu reacted first, stood up and stood in front of the anvil, grabbed the blank in the furnace with an iron clip, swung the iron hammer, and smashed it.
“Work.”
Heizi responded and stood up and picked up the hammer that was two or three times bigger than his master Wang Wu, swung it up and sold all his strength. The master and apprentice worked, never counted a piece of gobang, and the other party had never done anything.
Goudan was a little hesitant, and wanted to stand at the position where Zhou Laosan often stood, but he was a little afraid. According to the status of the new son-in-law, not to mention Zhou Laosan, even the manager in the general shop could be fired at will. The key is that this new son-in-law is a well-known waste. He has no status in the Dantai family. It spread in just two days. On the wedding day, the young lady practiced on the roof and was promoted to a martial arts teacher the next morning. Then the wasteful new son-in-law moved to the wing room...
"Don't move around for now. Maybe that guy has gone home now. By then, Old Zhou's decision is the final word here." Goudan said a few words secretly, and did not have the courage to walk from behind to front.
What about Nie Kong at this time?
"Test, Wu is angry."
The Martial Arts Academy can become the well-deserved "big" sect in the mainland. It is not only because of the large number of disciples and disciples in the world, but also a special function recognized by many strong people and sects - it has created a way to quickly and effectively test the level of the practitioner's "qi" sect. It also gives the examiner the identity of the "qi" sect cultivator level that is effective throughout the continent. The first thing the court officials guarantee is the interests of the practitioners. Many crimes, including killing, can be exempted, and at most exiled. However, ordinary people who dare to violate the sense of martial arts and above will be punished with a higher level of crime.
"Free test for practitioners in the academy, and test for practitioners outside the academy's ten-two-patterned silver once." Monopoly is always the most invincible form of the business model.
"Nie Kong, twenty years old, join the Martial Arts Academy after the test was successful." Nie Kong, who was well versed in the rules, chose the former. Although the ten-two-patterned silver is a huge sum, the key is that Nie Kong needs to obtain more guidance and reading opportunities in the Martial Arts Academy, and sooner or later he will join a leading organization. The relatively free Martial Arts Academy is more in line with Nie Kong's unwillingness to be bound.
If you succeed, a practitioner of martial arts aura is qualified to officially enter the martial arts academy and does not have to pay the fee; if you fail, you cannot avoid the test fee of these ten taels.
A prop similar to a bellows has become a tool to test martial arts' sense of vitality. The tester needs to stand in front of the props to communicate with the existence of the heaven and earth to sense the existence of "qi". If successful, the change of the airflow will cause the prop to be sensitive mechanical settings, and the faint airflow surge will lead to the rotation of the fan blade next to the prop.
For Nie Kong, who had successfully gathered qi, the test of the qi sensation realm was completely a formality, standing next to the prop, and after counting breaths, the fan blade began to rotate.
"Congratulations to junior brother!" The students of the martial arts academy who were responsible for the assessment immediately showed a bright smile. Almost all the practitioners assigned here were at the gathering of martial arts students. It can be said that they will not have a bright future in the future. It is also for the sake of many ways to get along with fellow students in the future. If Nie Kong was not too old, his attitude would be even more enthusiastic at this moment.
