Chapter 128 Young Master Qingyu (Additional update for the sow aphrodisiac expert leader)
Hearing Fang Jia say "Master, please invite me", and then seeing the two sword-carrying monks behind Fang Jia, Master Wu Sheng and Master Dongsun looked at each other, each feeling guilty.
"May I ask which young master it is?" Wu Sheng asked bravely.
Fang Jia said: "Qingyu Master."
"I wonder if you have something important to do when you call me, I'll be ready." Wu Sheng continued to ask boldly.
This time Fang Jia couldn't answer. He turned and looked behind him. A monk behind him cupped his hands and said: "Master Shen Alchemy has nothing to worry about and there is nothing to prepare. I have something to ask you, just ask a few words. Shopkeeper Dong doesn't need to go." "
Master Dongsun leaned against the doorpost and watched Wu Sheng off. Wu Sheng waved to him: "Go to Fang Market to buy some spiritual materials and come back so I can make elixirs."
As soon as the guard handed over his hand in greeting, Wu Sheng felt relieved, and he did not let Master Dongsun go, which also showed that it had nothing to do with the two of them being wanted by Jixia Academy, otherwise they would have been tied up with a rope and taken away at the same time.
There are two young masters in Yongguo, the elder brother is called Chengshuang and the younger brother is named Qingyu. It is Qingyu who invited Wu Sheng to his residence. The residence of the young master Qingyu is not far from Sima Mansion, but the regulations are much smaller, with only two floors.
After entering the mansion with the two guards, before he had time to observe where there were any furnishings such as magical weapons, Young Master Qingyu showed up to meet him.
"Master Shen Alchemy from Yongrentang?"
"Meet the young master."
"Why is Alchemist Shen's face so blue...such a big spot?"
"I accidentally knocked the door and made the young master laugh."
"careless?"
"As alchemists, we love what we do and think about alchemy issues all the time. It is normal for us to bump into doors and fall down."
"I see... Master Shen, please take a seat."
Wu Sheng sat down at the guest's seat in an orderly manner and said: "Young master, I am here to invite you. I am late, but I hope you will forgive me."
Young Master Qingyu smiled and said: "Master Shen, don't be cautious. Sima Yuan told me before that there is a new alchemist in Shangyong City. His alchemy method is superb and his elixir is extraordinary. This is a blessing to the country of Yong. I have always wanted to see him." Alchemist, but due to the heavy state affairs, he did not get the convenience. In recent days, the elixir of Yongrentang has become more and more famous in Shangyong. It just happened that the certificate of credence came from the Yu Kingdom, so I invited the alchemist to come and talk about it."
Does the credentials of the Fish Kingdom have anything to do with him? Wu Sheng didn't understand. He bowed during the dinner and said, "Master, please speak clearly."
Qingyu said: "Winter is about to enter now, and it's time for the Putai Alliance Meeting. The Kingdom of Yu has sent letters of credence and summoned the princes of various countries to come to the alliance. My father is ill and is still unable to go this year, so I will go on my behalf."
Seeing that Wu Sheng was still puzzled, he said: "Every three years at the Putai League meeting, it is discussed that the four countries of Zhao, Yong, Yu, Kui, and Qu should pay tribute in gold, magic weapons, elixirs, spiritual materials, and silk as usual. Hemp, spiritual wine, rice, animal skins and other items..."
Wu Sheng listened to him for a long time and finally understood.
The Yong State was once very powerful. Huiyu, Kui, and Qi formed an alliance and jointly attacked the Chu State. The Chu State was almost defeated. It was not until Qin and Ba made an agreement to jointly attack the Yong State that the crisis was turned into peace and the Yong State was defeated. The country perishes.
After the destruction of Yong, the Chu State moved the largest four kingdoms to the south as a barrier from Baiyue and the barbaric land, and agreed on the number of tributes. This tribute was shared among the four kingdoms, and the total value of the goods was determined by the Chu people. After all, Chu State doesn't care how much they share.
Just over which family should share how much, the four countries almost went to war with each other. If it weren't for the centuries-old in-laws and alliances, they would almost have started fighting.
Finally, the kings of the four countries met in Putai and agreed on a method, that is, the total cost of spear tribute was shared by the four countries according to 4:3:2:1, with the Yong country having the most, followed by the Yu country, Kui again, and finally Lu.
It is also shared according to national strength.
Before the tribute, the State of Chu gave the total amount of each tribute, and each country prepared tributes in accordance with the covenant. In order to meet Chu State's requirements for tribute, the covenant also agreed that these tributes should be prepared by the country that is best at it, which can not only give full play to the advantages of the country,
It can also reduce the burden on other countries.
For example, the state of Chu stipulated that 500 animal skins should be tributed this year, with a total value of no less than fifty gold. The state of Qi was good at making animal skins, so they gave all the 500 animal skins in the tribute list to the state of Qi for preparation.
The remaining three countries allocated the money to Lu State in accordance with the agreed ratio.
As for which country is good at what, it can only be a matter of competition.
Speaking of this, Qingyu said: "Forty percent of the tribute every year is a heavy burden for the Yong state. In recent years, Dayong has been refining weapons, elixirs are not as good as fish, silk and wine are not as good as Kui, and leather making is only left to the squid.
Responsible for raising spiritual materials and rice, a large amount of love money was lost to other countries."
Wu Sheng understood a little bit and asked: "The pricing is in the hands of the Chu people? How do they determine how much the tribute is worth?"
Qingyu said: "The Chu people's southern county is called Yangzhou, and there is a city in Yangzhou. The Chu people use the price of the city as their basis."
The Chu people used the price of Yangzhou Fangshi as the standard to measure the quality of tributes. In fact, they inflated the prices, which resulted in a considerable profit. The Yongguo paid 40% of the tribute expenses, but could only recover them from spiritual materials and rice.
Some have suffered huge losses.
The most suitable one should be the Fish Kingdom. The magical weapons and elixirs are all collected by the Fish Kingdom. This advantage is too great. Wu Sheng is an alchemist himself, so of course he knows how much room there is for manipulation. He estimates that on the surface of the Fish Kingdom,
If you pay 30% of the tribute, I'm afraid you'll have to give a big discount in the end. Actually, if you pay 20%, it's pretty good.
Sure enough, Qingyu said: "The State of Chu has sent an edict. This year, the tribute from the four countries will be worth thousands of gold, a hundred yi of gold, magic weapons, elixirs, spiritual materials, silk, spiritual wine, rice, and animal skins. This summer meeting
The alliance will also agree on what each country will prepare for, and it will definitely take three years."
Wu Sheng asked: "Master, what do you mean, elixir?"
Qingyu nodded: "The magic weapon is two hundred and fifty gold, the elixir is three hundred gold, and the spiritual material is one hundred and fifty gold. This is the value set by the Chu people. Shangyongfang City is the largest among the four countries, and the spiritual material is prepared by Dayong.
Undoubtedly, let alone rice, if the refining of elixirs can be taken back from the hands of the Fish Kingdom, then Dayong can earn hundreds of gold from this year's spear tribute, and the pressure will be much easier."
Wu Sheng asked: "How do you compete with magic weapons? How do you compete with elixirs?"
Qingyu said: "The magic weapons will be compared in three formations, the spiritual elixir will be opened in three furnaces, and the competition will be held on the Putai."
Wu Sheng understood: "So, what the young master wants is to let the common people compete in elixir training? I heard that the alchemist Yunji of the Fish Kingdom has to become a famous teacher, and he is very powerful..."
Qingyu said: "The elixir refined by Master Shen is said to be as effective as him."
Wu Sheng smiled humbly and hesitated: "But I don't know what if I win?"
Qingyu said: "If Alchemist Shen can take back the refining of the spiritual elixir, all the tribute of this year's elixir will be handed over to Alchemist Shen for refining. Yongguo will pay two hundred and thirty gold!"
Two thousand spiritual pills, with a total price of two hundred and thirty gold, based on his cost, he can earn at least half of it. Wu Sheng quickly calculated in his mind that if successful, the money would be enough for him to convert tens of thousands of spiritual sand!
What Wu Sheng lacked was Lingsha, a large amount of Lingsha. After calculating it, he couldn't help but feel excited. After thinking about it, he said: "The common people have one condition."
Qingyu said: "Please tell me."
Wu Sheng said: "If you are lucky enough to get this business, when purchasing alchemy materials, the market cannot deliberately raise the price."
Qingyu was startled, then suddenly smiled: "You are very confident? Don't worry!"
Wu Sheng lowered his head: "I dare not say anything about confidence, Xiaomin is willing to give it a try."
We solemnly celebrate the promotion of the sow aphrodisiac expert to the leader of the alliance on November 3rd. He is a saint and a true person. He avoids flashy and retreats. His energy penetrates the alchemy. His cave is deep and subtle. His spiritual support stays forever. He has become an immortal. He burns three pillars of incense and serves as the Tao.
