Volume Four, Three Southern Counties, Chapter 456, Simple Folkways
These people used to live in mountain villages, but now they have moved here and like to live in this kind of place.
The folk customs are quite simple.
Although they like to care about trivial matters, these people are unambiguous about who is in trouble.
The old Confucian scholar Mai stepped into the mountain village. Not far away, there were some children playing on the path between the villages.
After seeing the old Confucian scholar Mai, these children slowed down and looked at the old Confucian scholar in front of them.
The more courageous children stepped forward, stood in front of the old scholar Mai, and asked in a childlike voice, "Who are you?"
"I……"
The old Confucian scholar Mai smiled kindly and said, "I was just passing by."
"Where are you going?"
the child asked.
"I don't know, I'm aimless, I just don't care where I go." said the old Confucian scholar.
"What a weirdo. How can he have no direction?"
The child shook his head.
"Freeze said!"
The adult of the child's family came out, slapped the child on the back of the head, and then looked at the old scholar Mai apologetically, "Old man, go to my room and drink some water."
"Excuse me!"
The old Confucian scholar cupped his hands and followed the Lord into the house.
Although the inside is simple, it is cleaned cleanly.
"Didn't Empress Zhou Yao talk about promoting education and building schools in the four counties? Why are there so many school-age children in the village not going to school?" asked the old Confucian scholar Mai.
"Hey, you need a teacher to build a school! Which teacher will come to our small mountain village? And there are too few children in the small mountain village, so it is not cost-effective to build a school here."
"If you want your children to go to school, you have to send them to a town fifteen kilometers away."
"The journey is too long!"
Farmers are in trouble.
For the strong, traveling ten kilometers is just a matter of thought.
Even if Lu Jiuzhang used his magical power now, he would be hundreds of miles away in an instant.
But for farmers, fifteen kilometers away is a very far away place.
The school does not provide accommodation, and picking up and dropping off the children every day is a problem.
"Leave this matter to me. I studied in an academy for a few years when I was young, and I can still read." The old Confucian scholar Mai said, "It just so happens that I have nowhere to go, so I will stay here for a while.
Bar."
"That's great."
The farmer immediately became excited and said, "Mr. sit here for a while. I will go and inform the villagers now."
The farmer was so excited that he called people in the village and started preparing to build a school building that day.
It is a good thing to have an old man teaching these children.
It's better than them running around the village all day long.
We don't expect them to get any honors, just learn Braille like the old gentleman.
As for the old Confucian scholar Mai, he really plans to take root here temporarily.
The world is so big that you can go anywhere, but if you think about it carefully, there is no place to go.
…
Outskirts of Shiwandashan.
Lu Jiuzhang used the special curse seal, and it took about an hour.
A huge mountain turtle crawled towards everyone. On the back of the mountain turtle was a wooden house, and a young man was standing in front of the door of the wooden house.
"Mr. Lu!"
The boy in the wooden house was the first to say hello to Lu Jiuzhang.
"It's good that you're here. The girl I met last time was a bit unnatural!" Lu Jiuzhang said with a smile.
This young man is quite aware of current affairs.
"She has been punished, and in order to make up for their debt to Mr. Lu, the Tiaoshanlang family decided that as long as Mr. Lu buys something, they will only charge 50% of the price."
Shan Gui walked up to Lu Jiuzhang in a few steps, and the young man said slowly.
Lu Jiuzhang jumped up and stood opposite the young man, "This is ridiculous!"
The girl was not polite at the time. She made it clear that she wanted to bully Lu Jiuzhang about to leave, so she deliberately lowered the price.
"I plan to sell a batch of demon treasures."
Lu Jiuzhang took out twenty storage rings and said, "Please estimate the price!"
The young man explored the contents of the storage ring one by one, and after a long while he said, "It can be sold for almost 15 million monster coins."
"Is that all?" Lu Jiuzhang was surprised.
One monster coin is roughly equivalent to one hundred taels of silver.
These fifteen million taels of monster coins are roughly equivalent to one and a half million taels of gold.
Too little!
The current cost of the Iron Blood Camp is easily tens of millions of taels of gold.
"Because the treasures of the demon clan are too large and too many. If you want to dispose of them, the price will definitely be lowered." Young Lang said, "And there are many weapons used by eighth-level and seventh-level demons, so the overall calculation
, not very valuable.”
"What if it's the blood essence of Yao Wuming, the emperor of the demon clan?" Lu Jiuzhang asked.
"This..." The young man was a little unsure.
Yao Wuming is the emperor's son of the Yao clan, and his status is respected.
Its essence and blood are naturally extremely precious.
If a strong person obtains these blood essences and deciphers the situation of the Demon Emperor's lineage, he may be able to create a magical power or technique that can restrain the Demon Emperor's lineage.
But on the surface, no one would dare to do this kind of business.
Not even the Tiaoshanlang clan!
"The price is immeasurable. I will go back and discuss with the people in the clan." The young man said slowly.
"Okay, you can discuss it slowly."
Lu Jiuzhang was no longer anxious.
"How many fragments of the Confucian saint's hair crown do you have here?" Lu Jiuzhang asked, "I want them all."
"There are about five of them. The price is one million monster coins. At 50% of the price, it would be 500,000 monster coins. Mr. Lu, look at what you still lack."
the young man asked.
Stepping into the wooden house, Lu Jiuzhang saw a large number of natural materials and treasures, including countless spiritual herbs.
Inside is a special small space with a large area.
The price of the demon clan's spiritual grass is much cheaper than that of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Lu Jiuzhang probably made some calculations and found that for the same price, he could probably buy twice as much from Young Boy Lang.
In addition, Lu Jiuzhang's purchase is 50% off, so the total is four times.
What a bargain.
"Exchange them all for spiritual grass for me." Lu Jiuzhang planned to take them back to the Iron Blood Camp to help the soldiers of the Iron Blood Camp temper their bodies.
No matter what happens, these spiritual herbs can be refined into elixirs to help the soldiers of the Iron Blood Battalion break through the realm.
Anyway, it’s a trade without losing money.
"One more thing. A strong man from the demon clan asked us to find the Mochen Bead. We have searched all over the demon realm for this object, but no trace has been found. It may have been lost to the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"That strong man offered fifty million monster coins!"
"If Mr. Lu can find it, he can bring it to us."
"There is also Lingyun Grass, which is an important spiritual grass for the transformation of the Flamingo clan, but it has disappeared in the Demon Realm. When we checked the index, we found that there should still be some Lingyun Grass in the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"A Lingyun grass can cost one hundred thousand!"
"The Flamingo Clan purchases a lot of them, the more, the better."
Lu Jiuzhang nodded, which was considered as an exchange of information.
"I will try my best to find out. I will come here to trade with you in more than a month at the latest." Lu Jiuzhang said, "What are the characteristics of that Lingyun grass?"
