Chen Pingan asked curiously: "Do you really want to hold two night banquets in a row?"
One party is enough. Even Gao Niang, the water god of the Ximei River, who is not short of money, last time drank at the village school and uttered the truth after drinking. Today, there is a night banquet and then a day of rest. It is considered as a way to catch his breath.
After all, after everyone has finally saved some money, there will be another game the day after tomorrow. No one’s money falls from the sky. I really can’t bear it.
Wei Bo glanced at him.
Chen Pingan said knowingly: "Pretend I didn't ask."
Wei Bo said: "I made an appointment with Meng Rong to go to the Changpu River for a drink."
Chen Pingan nodded, "We have to celebrate."
Wei Bo looked at him again.
Chen Ping'an said helplessly: "Just tell me, what do you want me to do? Do you need me to go over there and serve as a host and bring some jars of good wine, or do you need my assistant to help you play a few rounds and block the wine for you, or you?"
It's so exciting to drink flower wine, you just need me to show up at the end and help you pay the bill secretly?"
Wei Bo said: "As long as you have the intention. Meng Rong really wants to have a date with you. I would like to thank you a few words, but I will help you turn it down."
Chen Pingan quickly raised his hand and thanked him.
Wei Bo left directly.
Chen Pingan sighed. Damn it, if you have the same virtue as Lin Yupu, you will soon become a god king, and you have a good temper.
Why don't you go and be arrogant with Mr. Big?
They were going to the Ministry of War Office located in Kejia Lane, Qianbu Lang. Jiang Shangzhen originally wanted to support the old minister, but he never thought that the old man would not be able to step out of the palace after he left the palace.
Chen Pingan planned to give 500 military books to the Songxue Lecture Hall directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. Anyway, they were ready-made copies.
Because they had been to the capital before, Chen Ping'an and Xiao Mo had used a blind trick. Jiang Shangzhen and Xie Gou were able to attend the two Luo Luoshan enshrinements at the same time, so it was very casual.
When they arrived at the heavily guarded Ministry of War office, the old minister led them through the corridors. They met many officials from the Ministry of War, but no one took the initiative to say hello to the old minister. They all seemed to slow down and lower their heads as they passed by.
Jiang Shangzhen sighed: "The old minister is not as powerful as usual in his yamen."
Just like me, every time I ascend Shenzhuan Peak to attend meetings at the Patriarch Hall, no one dares to say hello to me.
Shen Shen smiled and said: "There is nothing official or not, it's just that I don't want to bow my head and bow down. Not only our military department, but also all government agencies and departments in the capital strive to resolve matters quickly, talk about things when they have something to do, and stop talking nonsense when they have nothing to do.
Well, except Zhao Duanjin’s Ministry of Etiquette, which is very strict and strict. I occasionally go there to visit, and every few steps I have to nod to someone I don’t know. My neck feels sore, and I have to put on a dog-skin plaster when I come back."
Jiang Shangzhen automatically ignored the old man's strange anger towards the Rites Yamen and said with a smile: "Then what's the point of being an official?"
The Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy are indeed very particular about it. For example, they stipulate that when the sun shines on the fifth brick of the corridor, officials will be ordered to do so by the Yamen.
Cao Gengxin, the undisciplined minister of the Ministry of Personnel, is a rare exception in the officialdom of Dali. This son of the Cao family of Shangzhu State, who was promoted from Longquan Kiln Supervisor, was often late for lunch, so his salary was not enough to deduct.
Shen Chen said: "It's very beautiful outside the Yamen. I just wanted to go to the Changpu River to drink. Every time I paid, I got a huge discount. I didn't dare to go there often, for fear that I would ruin the restaurant."
The house is very spacious, equivalent to three rooms connected. In addition to reviewing official documents, the old minister can also hold small meetings here.
There is a row of bookshelves against the wall, and the remaining standing cabinets on both sides are filled with books and archives. Books are everywhere. To describe the volume as vast is not an exaggeration.
It was rare for the old minister to entertain guests here, and none of them wore official robes. Soon, a special secretary who worked in the minister's room brought tea.
Shen Chen sat on an old Taishi chair that was heavily swollen, habitually leaning on crutches with both hands and resting his chin on the back of his hands. He said with a smile: "Master Chen, it's better to hurry up than to hurry up. I asked the Ministry of Industry Wen Er, and the Ministry of Household Mu Yandu Come over here, let them get acquainted with Chen Guoshi, and talk about some serious business?"
Although they are important ministers of the same dynasty with similar official positions, Shen Shen is old and has worked in various ministries, so many of them are the old minister's "natal" yamen. In addition, Shen Shen has many titles, so the two ministers came to the yamen of the Ministry of War. , it’s nothing, not to mention that Shen Shen is Wen Er’s teacher. We bumped into him at Yi Chi Alley. Wen Er called Shen Shen sir, and whether he answered or not depends on whether Shen Shen was in a good mood. Oh no, it was because his ears were sharp at the time. Everyone in the official circles of Da Li knew that Shen Laoshangshu's ear had always been good and sometimes bad since he was young.
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "It's not necessary."
Jiang Shangzhen was guarding the imperial study room before. He was extremely bored, so he studied the details of the clothing of the gods of mountains and rivers in the room. Both ministers were wearing court clothes. There were not many differences. For example, the boots on their feet were different. The heavy court boots were brand new but stained with stains. Mud, Zhao Duanjin's court boots were old but clean. Jiang Shangzhen was curious about how the heavy boots could have mud. There is a time-honored shop in the capital of Dali that specializes in selling court boots. There is a book "Being Ready for Every Step", which is widely circulated. Here in the capital The people around here, especially those who have lived near Yichi Lane and Chier Street for generations, have developed a pair of sharp eyes. This is called Ye Ye, look at the shoes first.
Xiaomo sat upright.
Xie Gou lazily leaned on the chair and pulled down his mink hat to cover his face. He didn't know whether he was sleeping or resting.
Shen Chen asked: "Are Master Chen familiar with Luzhou Sanlang Temple in Beiju?"
Chen Pingan paused for a moment, thought about it, shook his head and said: "I have indeed been to Beiju Luzhou several times, but I have hardly set foot in the north of Jidu, so I am naturally not familiar with Sanlang Temple."
Jiang Shangzhen glanced at the mountain master.
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "But I have a friend who is a swordsman, and he has a good relationship with Sanlang Temple."
The old man nodded and said: "The Ministry of Punishment plans to get some benefits for the worshipers at all levels in Dali. Of course it is not a bribe. The Ministry of Husbandry has already approved it, but rejected several proposals from the Ministry of Punishment because they think they are not worthy of the family. I didn't know that firewood and rice were expensive, so I spent money indiscriminately, and finally found a compromise. According to the wishes of the Ministry of Revenue, one is the immortal wine from Changchun Palace. Anyway, the Ministry of Finance does not need to spend money. This kind of wine is now available on the Baopingzhou Mountain. Stronger than immortal money, I planned to buy a batch of cheap and high-quality Sanlang Temple futons. As a result, the Ministry of War also heard about this and had an idea. Anyway, I spent money to buy it. If I bought too much, I might still pay for it. If there is a discount, I want to buy a futon for all the military monks in Dali, but this will increase the household expenses, and Mu Yan just has to move a stool to the criminal department to sit and curse."
Chen Pingan nodded, "The futons from Sanlang Temple are indeed good things. They say one Xiaoshu coin can be used as two."
When he visited Luzhou in Beiju for the first time that year, Chen Ping'an was deeply impressed by this kind of futon on the mountain. On the Bone Beach, there was a small market commonly known as Naiheguan because of the yin energy leaking out of a ghost valley.
It's noon when the sun is shining brightly, but it's still cool all over the body. On the border between the big and small heavens and the earth, the Pima Sect built a long series of thatched huts on top of the springs with strong yin and essence.
Futons refined by the Sanlang Temple will be placed in the huts to help practitioners breathe and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth more quickly.
Sanlang Temple is the largest weapons shop in Luzhou, Beiju, and the genealogical monks of Sanlang Temple are as famous as their proficiency in forging weapons. Although they don't like to fight, they are very good at fighting. Sanlang Temple has a popular mantra, "
Don’t bully honest people.”
The protective spiritual treasure armor cast by Sanlang Temple, the Sword Immortal's natal flying sword imitated by Henjian Mountain, the three-color cassock from Foguang Temple, and the crane cloak and feather robe from Yunxiao Palace of Chongxuan Department of Dayuan Dynasty are all famous in the world.
Among the vast nine continents, in terms of refining objects and forging weapons, apart from the Middle Earth Divine Continent, only Liuxia Continent, which is rich in products, can rival Beiju Luzhou. Just like Han Huaizi, the old master of the Taihui Sword Sect, one of them
The famous swordsmanship is called "Great Work and Jade Cutting", which is related to the fact that Sect Master Han is proficient in "carving" techniques such as magic circles, talismans, and weapon refining.
There is really nothing we can do about it. There are many swordsmen in this continent. The average Qigong practitioner should not wear more robes and treasure armor when going out. The more swords he can carry, the more lives he will have.
At the same time, pure martial artists also want to have a few handy weapons so that they can practice with Qi practitioners. Why can't those who practice martial arts and boxing compete with those who practice martial arts?
You bought robes and armor, and I picked out a few offensive magic weapons. You bought offensive magic weapons, and I bought more defensive treasures and various amulets. At the same time, I also secretly got some very lethal ones...
In the end, the atmosphere in the mountains and hills of Luzhou, Beiju, is extremely simple, and the personality is particularly straightforward. There is no "hospitality", and I am embarrassed to "say hello" to people when I go out.
Chen Ping'an once gave Liu Jinglong a hundred Grain Rain coins to help him buy as many imitation swords from Henjian Mountain and Sanlang Temple treasure armor as possible. If there was any surplus, he would help Palm Eyes and buy some idle treasures. In short, don't save money for me.
!
The implication is that we, Shanzhu Chen, want both quality and quantity.
After all, Liu Jianxian's face is very valuable.
In the end, Liu Jinglong personally visited the Sanlang Temple and helped buy a Henjianshan imitation sword and two pairs of treasure armor.
There are signatures of two famous refiners. Generally speaking, the Lingbao armor with names on it is the handiwork enshrined in the Sanlang Temple Zushi Hall. It is priceless but has no market, and the premium is high.
Later, Chen Ping'an gave it to Lu Baixiang's two direct disciples, sister and brother, Yuanbao Yuanlai, and each of them happened to have a pair of treasure armor.
Why can't a pure martial artist wear a treasured armor? The world is dangerous and one must be on guard against others, so one must have something to protect oneself.
Later, I heard Bai Shou say that Liu met a confidante at Sanlang Temple, which is why he was so easy to talk about the price. If it were someone else, he would be a fool.
In terms of seniority, the female cultivator who nominally manages half of the weapons shops in Sanlang Temple is Yuan Xuan's aunt. She, Lu Sui, the fairy of Shuijing Mountain, and Sun Qing, the master of Caique Mansion, are all listed in Luzhou, Beiju.
The beauties of the top ten fairies had their hearts set on Liu Jinglong when Liu Jinglong was still the master of Pianran Peak. Anyway, everyone in Beiju Luzhou knew this.
Thanks to the night banquets, treasures piled up in the warehouses of the Piyun Mountain Treasure Office and the Honor Guard Department, and there was a huge pile of catalogs and books documenting them.
Moreover, Chen Ping'an heard from Xiao Mili that the two yamen of Wei Shanjun's family occupy a large area and have been expanded more than once.
Among the countless gifts, there was a futon secretly made by the Sanlang Temple. Later, Xiaomo and the Tiger Mansion spent money to buy a futon and brought it back to Luopo Mountain, where they peeled off the cocoons and dismantled it.
The conclusion drawn is that it is not difficult to imitate, but the cost cannot be reduced. Firstly, it is limited by several key materials, and there is no substitute here in Aquarius Island. Furthermore, whether it can be mass-produced, the cost gap is huge.
Since even Xiaomo said this, it means that the futons in Sanlang Temple are almost the ultimate.
In addition, there are four hills in Beiju Luzhou, all of which have low-end business opportunities. For example, the robes from Laojun Lane were once exported to six continents besides Aquarius Continent and Tongye Continent. At that time, Aquarius
Tongyezhou is too poor, and Tongyezhou is too isolated. However, the robes of Laojun Lane have long been monopolized by the Qionglin Sect. It is rumored that the founder of Laojun Lane, Song Fu with the same Taoist name,
He is extremely talented in refining things, but he is not good at business. When he was young, he had a high vision. He only wanted to build the best mountain robe regardless of the cost. As a result, he was hungry and cold. Later, the Qionglin Sect came to visit him.
, negotiated cooperation with her, and became prosperous from then on. The kind of Qinghe robe in Laojun Lane made Qionglin Sect very profitable.
And she finally refined what she thought was a famous robe that could go down in history. It was called "Yingran Robe", but it was extremely expensive. It was the first choice for Qi practitioners in the upper five realms besides Luzhou Sword Cultivator in Beiju. Unfortunately,
Only one piece can be made every sixty years in Laojunxiang.
It is somewhat similar to the Yuhua Dan from Tongyezhou Qinghu Palace. What it sells is not fairy money, but a huge favor.
As for the cooperation between Song Fu and Qiong Linzong, whether she met a person of destiny or an unkind person, they are on the other side of Luzhou in Beiju.
Later, Laojun Lane launched several "treasure bowls" one after another, such as the Dayuejia, which was tailor-made for emperors, monarchs, and royal nobles of a continent. They were both attractive and useless, but the advantage was that they were indeed not ordinary "medium-looking" products.
The seal characters are complicated, the treasures are gorgeous, and they are extremely valuable.
The Jade Pu Realm and Earth Immortal monks, as well as the Qi Practitioners of the Lower Five Realms, were all captured by Laojunxiang. In addition, royal nobles from various countries lined up to be taken advantage of.
Grasping these three types of customers at the same time, Laojun Lane and Qionglin Sect, will of course bring in money.
The old man suddenly patted the handle of the chair, "I almost forgot that Old Sect Leader Jiang is actually the one who is most familiar with Beiju Luzhou!"
Xie Gou picked up her mink hat and glanced at Chief Zhou. She got Bai Ze's permission and came here to find Xiao Mo. Xie Gou showed up at Beiju Luzhou from the beginning, so where Chief Zhou was
The word-of-mouth deeds there are relatively clear. It has been so many years, and every time Jiang Shangzhen is mentioned, the Qi practitioners there still gnash their teeth, and everyone is ready to kill him. How much evil Jiang Shangzhen did in Beiju Luzhou back then
ah.
Jiang Shangzhen was still thick-skinned and said with a smile: "When buying things from Beiju Luzhou, just give me my name, but I can't guarantee whether they will give you a 50% discount or a 15% discount."
It is estimated that as soon as they heard that Jiang Shangzhen was involved in the business, nine of the ten sects would tell the Dali court that as long as Jiang Shangzhen's third leg was broken, he would give it away for free without any payment!
Just like that Sanlang Temple, Jiang Shangzhen is indeed very familiar with it, so much so that as long as he shows up there, he will treat Jiang Shangzhen well, who almost became his son-in-law back then.
It doesn't matter if he uses a pseudonym or something. The problem is that Jiang Shangzhen hooked up with two female cultivators who were direct descendants of the Yuan family at the same time. They talked about marriage and wanted to become Taoist companions with him.
As for the Laojun Lane, Jiang Shangzhen would certainly not be left behind. He had been there several times, and just because there was a female cultivator there, Song Fu, there was no reason for Jiang Shangzhen not to make more trips there.
However, there is no story between the two parties. Song Fu has a cold personality, lives in seclusion, and is a woman who is obsessed with refining things. Looking at Jiang Shangzhen is like looking at a dead person.
But when Jiang Shangzhen looked at her, he felt... amazing.
Some women can kill people just by looking at their backs.
Jiang Shangzhen has only seen three women with this kind of charm in his life. In addition to Song Fu, there is another one who is now on Luolu Mountain.
But Jiang Shang really didn't dare to have any evil thoughts. On the one hand, rabbits don't eat grass on the edge of their nests, not to mention that the other party is the boss of his own Luoshan Mountain!
The old man asked coldly: "It is said that Henjian Mountain has six gate-protecting treasures, which are six imitation swords known as the second-class authentic Sword Immortal's Birth Flying Sword. Among them, only four have known their names to the outside world for the time being, respectively.
They are "Corpse Sitting", "Poetry Ghost", "Shrine", and "Xumi Mountain". Does Mr. Jiang know what the other two imitation swords are called?"
As expected, Jiang Shangzhen was very knowledgeable and very familiar with the secrets of Yizhou. He said, "It's 'Tongyou' and 'Hero's Tomb'."
Jiang Shangzhen asked curiously: "Why is the old minister asking this? I have friends in the mountains and money is tight? But these imitation swords, generally speaking, cannot be bought with money alone."
The business of Henjian Mountain has never had much interaction with the imperial court at the foot of Luzhou Mountain in Beiju. The main reason is that the threshold is too high. In Jiang Shangzhen's words, it only kills fat pigs and cheats the rich.
For example, Jiang Shangzhen himself.
Back then, it was almost, just a little bit, that he and a girl he met and fell in love with bought the treasure of the mountain, also known as "Gentle Village". Later, Jiang Shangzhen had a rare conscience, so he changed his mind temporarily, otherwise he would have lost the treasure long ago.
The "Heroes Tomb" imitation sword is in the bag. This imitation sword can warm up tens of thousands of ghosts and soldiers. Once the Qi practitioner sacrifices this thing, it is most suitable for group fights.
Shen Chen smiled and said: "Years ago, Cui Guoshi wanted to build a government-run swordsmanship sect in our territory of Dali. I happened to be one of the officials who handled this matter, but it was a pity that it failed."
In fact, according to Cui Han's earliest assumptions, Ruan Qiong is indeed the best candidate for the master of the swordsmanship sect. First of all, Ruan Qiong is the number one swordsmith in Aquarius Continent, and the Dragon's Back Mountain in the mountains to the west, then
A large piece of dragon-slaying cliff can be used as the foundation of the swordsmanship sect. As for the sword repair embryos needed to spread the branches and leaves, they are not just eating from the large sticks that are scattered all year round in the mountains and rivers of the continent.
In addition to the Dali Dizhi monks, Yuan Huajing and Song Xu, all of whom were sword cultivators, the prototype and framework of the entire sect had been established early.
The Henjian Mountain in Luzhou, Beiju, will be an ally of this sword sect. From the sound of it, the national master Cui Chan is prepared to personally facilitate this matter.
Fenglei Garden will not be moved, but Zhengyang Mountain will definitely become the "downhill" of this new sect. In addition, a second downhill with a genealogy will be erected in the territory of the old Zhuying Dynasty. The monks are all sword cultivators. 1
Zong and Liang went down the mountain, locked horns with each other, and secretly built three sword formations. Finally, imitating Bai Yujing was used as the center of the formation, and combined with the Qin Tianjian's means of fortune-seeking in the capital, the Great Li Dynasty could attack and defend with this, and specialized
Aimed at Ascension Realm monks.
As for Ruan Qiong who later served as the chief worshiper of Da Li, and the Longquan Sword Sect was founded on the old site of Li Zhudongtian, it was far from the swordsmanship sect Cui Han had in mind.
The old minister glanced at the new imperial master of Dali.
When it comes to starting his own business and starting from scratch, Chen Ping'an, who started from a back alley, is certainly outstanding enough, but compared with Cui Chan, he seems to be a little less interesting.
Just thinking about it, the old man immediately felt that it made no sense.
Chen Pingan asked: "Where is the Mo family?"
Shen Chen said: "In the past few years, we have started to evacuate Dali one after another. The Mo family is very kind in doing things. Not only did they help us cultivate a large number of mountain craftsmen in Dali, but they also left a lot of drawings with the Ministry of Industry."
Chen Ping'an smiled. It seemed that His Majesty the Emperor had said some kind words before.
Shen Chen said: "It is a pity that Caique Mansion's robe was not selected into the list of customization made by the Confucian Temple."
Chen Ping'an nodded and said: "It's a pity of course, but it's not too unexpected."
During the last meeting of the Chinese Confucian Temple, seven types of Xian family ferries were ordered from various continents. Among them were the mountain ferries and sword boats jointly built by the Song family of Dali and the Mohist family.
There are nearly twenty kinds of mountain refining products selected in Luzhou, Beiju. Among them, the only robes are the soft and silky Lingbao armor from Sanlang Temple and the green crane robe from Laojun Lane. The former is equipped for the middle and fifth realm Qi practitioners, and the latter They were distributed to the monks in the lower five realms.
In fact, the quality of the robes woven by Caique Mansion has been improved to a big level after obtaining a secret refining technique from Jincuicheng City robes. Moreover, Caique Mansion is even willing to make two thousand starting robes for the Confucian Temple without making any money. In addition, during the discussion of the Confucian Temple, Song Changjing of Dali personally recommended the Caique Mansion robe, but at that time it was still only listed as a candidate by the Confucian Temple. In the end, it was still unable to "fill the vacancy" and was rejected.
The Confucian Temple's explanation for the rejection was that the cost of Caique Mansion's robes was too high and the output was too small.
Just because Caique Mansion is a small sect, with only a few female cultivators known as "Textile Mothers", it is indeed impossible to truly meet the "mass production" qualifications required by the Confucian Temple.
After receiving this statement, the entire female cultivators in Caique Mansion were very disappointed.
But in Chen Ping'an's opinion, this is not a kind of care for Caique Mansion by the Confucian Temple.
Otherwise, once selected, the Confucian Temple will order at least two thousand robes, and the female nuns of Caique Mansion will not have to practice for decades. They will only be busy weaving robes day and night.
Of course, the plan first followed by Chen Ping'an and Caique Mansion's head Lu Wuyu was a long-term plan. It was very hard and unprofitable, so that Caique Mansion could exchange for a thousand-year foundation.
Shen Chen asked again: "I heard that Chen Guoshi and swordsman Liu Xu are friends?"
Chen Pingan nodded, "We have a personal friendship."
The Liu family of Luomahe is one of the few rich local people in Luzhou, Beiju. For generations, they have been engaged in the business of running boats to catch the sea and travel across mountains and mountains. They are the largest mountain escort agency in Luzhou, Beiju. Money may not be enough. There are so many Lin Zong, but in terms of reputation on the mountain, Qiong Lin Zong is not even worthy of carrying shoes for Luo Mahe Liu family.
The current head of the Liu family is close friends with the ancestor of the Yuan family of Sanlang Temple. The Liu family in Luomahe has a honest family tradition and a very rich family background, but they have never asked for a sect title from the Confucian Temple. They are typical of making a fortune in silence. , never asked for fame. But last time the Confucian Temple and various continental dynasties and the Immortal Mansion recruited cross-continental ferries, the Liu family of Luomahe took out two in one go. One was a requisition and must be given, but the second one was Mrs. Liu took the initiative to give it to me.
There are two things worth talking about about this family.
One time, Juluzhou sword cultivators traveled together to have a cross-continent "fight" and snatched the word "North" from Aai'aizhou.
Because there were many sword cultivators who were not at a high level, the sea was endless, and it was extremely labor-intensive to cross the sea with a sword. At that time, all the ferries on the mountain were provided by the Liu family, which took care of all the expenses for the long trip.
Huolong Zhenren of Paidi Peak, the Great Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain Celestial Master Mansion, was not a sword cultivator, but he was the leader of Yizhou Swordsmanship cultivator. At that time, the old master was sitting on the bow of a ferry boat at the front, often posing.
They set up a wine table and invited the head of the Liu family to "talk and laugh". One of them shouted that he was poor, and the other said that actually I don't have much money.
On that cross-continent trip, if Wenjian One Continent hits a wall on the Aai'ai Continent, all Liu's ferries on the Luoma River will be destroyed. It is estimated that none of them will be able to return to Julu Continent.
So later on, the entire Beiju Luzhou, especially the sword cultivators, had to acknowledge the sentiment and were willing to acknowledge the sentiment.
The second thing is that now everyone knows that the Luomahe Liu family, who was very rich but filthy, finally gave birth to a talented and romantic man.
This person is of course the young master Liu Xu who only stayed at the Great Wall of Sword Qi for more than twenty years.
It turns out that Luzhou, our northern capital, is on the other side of the Great Wall of Sword Qi. In addition to the sword light that dominates all nine continents, it turns out that there is also this kind of book business, literary talent and style.
After Liu Xu returned home, he went to Taihui Jianzong and drank with Liu Jinglong twice, but unfortunately he was not particularly happy.
The old man opened the skylight and said frankly, "The reason why I am talking to Master Chen about this is because Liu Xu, the young master of Luomahe, and Yuan Xuan of Sanlang Temple are currently wandering around the capital of Dali."
Yuan Xuan of Sanlang Temple is still too young after all, and it is unlikely that he will be the next head of the family. He was cultivated by the next head of the family.
However, according to intelligence reports, Liu Xu is already the head of the Liu family in Luomahe, but he is not doing anything for the time being, saying that he has to wait until he reaches the Yupu realm.
Chen Ping'an nodded and said: "After I left the Yamen, I went to find them to reminisce about old times and express my friendship with the landlords."
In addition to the sword cultivator who met Chen Pingan at the Great Wall of Sword Qi and had a "personal friendship" with Chen Pingan, in fact, Chen Pingan did have many friends in Luzhou, Beiju. He only said that the last time Luo Luoshan held a sect celebration, as a congratulatory gift, Ling Pingan
Duke Yuan Shen Lin gave away a large area of palaces and pavilions that used to belong to the Nanxun Water Palace. Li Yuan, the Marquis of Dadu Longting Palace, gave away a green river with rich water transport. Yuan Lingdian of Xuanfeng, Liu Zhiqing, etc., their names are all
It's not in the booklet Chen Ping'an previously released.
The old man suddenly asked: "The Chief of Qiantang is one of the few high-ranking water gods in the continent. The Confucian Temple requires strict review. He, Cen Wenqian, first jumped from a Hebo to the Qipin Lake Lord of Laoyu Lake, and then directly became the Qiantang Lord."
Sir, can we pass through the Confucian Temple?"
Chen Pingan said with a smile: "It will most likely be approved. If it is rejected, the court will just choose an orthodox water god to fill the vacancy from Wu Yun of Zhejiang and the water god of Suhe recommended by the Ministry of Rites. It will not be a troublesome matter."
Xiaomo knew the reason.
My young master was speaking implicitly. Cen Wenqian was not "most likely" to pass, but definitely could.
At the final stage of the young master's wandering around the Six Meridians, crossing the sea and contemplating the mountains, Xiao Mo once stood at the highest point of the Demon Suppressing Tower with the Holy Master and Chunyang Lu Yan. At that time, the Holy Master
If he said it himself, he would have the Confucian Temple record all those names.
In this list, there are not only great mountain gods like Zhouyou in Suishan in Zhongtu, but also small mountain gods like Dou Yan in Dieyunling, Gong Xinzhou in Xiangreshan, and Wei Wei in Fenshuiling.
Of course there is Laoyuhu Cen Wenqian.
Shen Chen stood up and said with a smile: "We have guests, rare guests. It seems that they are looking for Master Chen. I will ask someone to help arrange a room. The door is closed and you can drink as much as you like?"
Chen Ping'an stood up and said, "No need to go to such trouble. I met with them and chatted while walking. The old minister doesn't have to see off the guests."
The old man smiled and said: "We must see off guests when we see them off. Even if we are not considered colleagues in the officialdom, we still have the friendship of fellow countrymen."
Chen Pingan laughed it off.
Xie Gou put on his mink hat again. This old man was quite funny.
The old man said he was seeing guests off, but he was actually delivering them to the door.
Jiang Shangzhen walked at the end and chatted a few more words with the old man.
The people who came to see Chen Ping'an at the Ministry of War yamen were all members of the Dali branch. The twelve of them could enter and leave the yamen offices of the capital freely without saying hello.
Four came today, and for some reason, they were all women.
The girl Yu Yu, the formation master Han Zhoujin, the female ghost who painted eyebrows on the mountain Gaiyan, and the recently joined Zhou Haijing, she is the only pure martial artist, not talking about appearance, only decoration, this female grand master is still so jeweled , dazzling.
The only worthless item on Zhou Haijing's body is probably the flower letter period silk sachet embroidered with swallow patterns hanging around his waist.
Yu Yu felt a little aggrieved. She was the one who least wanted to come here, but Aunt Feng asked her to come by name. Was she bullying someone?
"It was Aunt Feng who asked us to come to Mr. Chen's place to order some dough."
She smiled and said: "Furthermore, Aunt Feng wants to ask Mr. Chen when will he go to Baihua Paradise."
Chen Ping'an said: "The one who is really anxious should not be Baihua Paradise. Why is Aunt Feng anxious?"
Yu Yu said: "I only keep my words. I don't know what Aunt Feng thinks."
Chen Pingan nodded, "I understand, I will talk to Aunt Feng about this later."
Han Zhoujin clasped his fists and thanked, "Last time, Sect Master Liu passed by the capital and gave me a lot of advice. I would like to thank Mr. Chen again."
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "You're welcome, Liu Jianxian, we always like to help others and have no airs."
Han Zhoujin hesitated to speak, and after some thought he gave up.
Zongzhu Liu is indeed approachable and has a very charming personality. He is a swordsman, but when it comes to formations, his words are concise and comprehensive, and his words are meaningful, which has benefited Han Zhoujin a lot.
However, Sect Master Liu's drinking capacity seems to be average. He gets red in the face whenever he drinks, and he is not as addicted to alcohol as the outside world reports.
Zhou Haijing clasped his fists, shook them vigorously, with a bright smile on his face, and said: "I heard that we will all be under the control of Mr. Chen from now on. Please take good care of us. I am very grateful, little lady."
Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "That's easy to say."
Xie Gou squints at this young female martial artist, who is not very pleasing to the eye. She is just like that Guan Yi, who shakes her breasts several times every step of the way. Don't you think it's a burden?
Gaiyan was obviously most sincerely grateful to Mr. Chen, who taught her business knowledge. Mr. Chen was indeed the most reliable in business, and she had to ask for advice again today.
But she also told two fresh news first. As Zhou Haijing said, Chen Ping'an, who became the national preceptor, will be the immediate boss of the twelve Earthly Branches in the future, the only one.
The Dali court has just learned that the number one sword cultivator in the North from Luzhou, Beiju, Bai Shang, a sword cultivator, has been released from seclusion and has successfully broken through. Now he is an Ascension Realm sword cultivator.
Then on the other side of Zhengyang Mountain, the sect leader Bamboo Emperor went to Full Moon Peak, and the swordsman uncle Xia Yuancui quickly held a meeting in the ancestral hall where others were not allowed to speak at all.
I believe that the latest issue of Daxian Mansion’s Shanshui Di newspaper in Aquarius Island will sell very well.
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "It has nothing to do with me."
As for Bai Shang, the fight has been over long ago, and the news on the mountain is relatively lagging behind.
Zhou Haijing and the others all looked at each other with amused eyes.
Is there no three hundred taels of silver here?
As the Fengxue Temple's Shanshui Di newspaper said, the relationship between Zhengyang Mountain and Luolu Mountain has been restored, otherwise Master Chen would have come to watch the ceremony in person to congratulate him?
Next, Chen Ping'an asked them about the current practice status of the other earthly branch monks. Naturally, they answered every question and told them everything they knew.
Yu Yu may be the only monk in the entire Aquarius Continent Mountain, and they are most afraid of this young hermit official who seems to have a genial temperament. Even the sword cultivator of Zhengyang Mountain cannot compare with them.
Finally, Gaiyan quickly found an opportunity to talk to Mr. Chen about some personal matters from the bottom of her heart, and asked how to make the business of the inn even better!
Chen Ping'an didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He just said without conscience that it was already very good and he had no suggestions.
The reputation of her inn is now almost ruined in Dali Mountain. She is notoriously evil-hearted in making money.
But I have to admit that almost no female cultivators are willing to stay at that inn, while all the male Qi practitioners have become repeat customers, after all, it is so eye-catching.
Seeing the sincere look on Gaiyan's face, it was estimated that if she didn't speak frankly, she would propose a partnership to make money and then divide the accounts. Chen Ping'an could only say: "Gaiyan, I just asked you to pay a little attention to the appearance, so as not to
When a guest comes to the door, it's like walking into a ghost house. I didn't let you go to such an extreme... What do you think? Arranging so many people at the door in one breath, do you feel that the makeup is too heavy?
some?"
Gaiyan looked gloomy and suddenly lost her enthusiasm for making money.
Chen Pingan held his hands in his sleeves and walked side by side in the corridor with Gaiyan, and continued: "Of course I know that the young women at the door of the inn are all people who have left their hometowns and lost their genealogical status. They are not high-level and have an innocent background. You
Each of them will be given a generous salary, and they are all voluntarily soliciting customers there. Well, except for most of the women who have thoughts of repaying your kindness, to put it bluntly, there may be many of them who want to catch someone.
The golden turtle son-in-law on the mountain is actually nothing, it is just human nature."
Gaiyan's expression has improved a bit.
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "I'll just give you a few suggestions. There are only two female nuns left at the door to receive guests, and the rest are divided into private houses, one for each one, responsible for dealing with the guests staying alone.
For singles, as long as they are immortal masters staying at the inn, they can help, guide or accompany guests when traveling in the capital, for free. So you have to make them more familiar with the scenery, attractions and special food of the capital.
, make it so familiar that you know everything about it. Then negotiate with some big restaurants in advance on the share. For all the expenses incurred by the guests who come from your inn, the inn must take a commission. For example, the restaurant in Changpu River will be very happy for you.
After attracting guests, the inn will split the money with them later, preferably once a month. Any day the dividend is higher than the monthly salary, they will naturally become more interested in it, and they can also take advantage of this.
It is a precious opportunity to become more and more familiar with the sects and genealogical monks from all walks of life on the mountain, so that they can take the opportunity to manage their own connections. In each house, you have snacks, which must have their own characteristics, study room cleaning, calligraphy and painting
Antiques, utensils that can be viewed in the mirror, etc., the more the better, put some in every room. Of course, be sure not to make them too tacky and cumbersome, otherwise it will go too far and be counterproductive. Also, put a brochure on the table to give some information about each room in the house.
All the items are clearly marked with prices. As long as the guests see something they like, they can spend money to buy it. In the future, when there are more repeat customers, the inn will record the personal preferences of each guest in detail every time, and then they can order the dishes.
The next time they come in, take them directly to a private house with a style they like. Those big customers who don’t treat their money as money, the more you are willing to give discounts, it will make them feel embarrassed. Then you recommend the guests to save money.
At the inn's cashier's office, the guests themselves or their mountain friends can check into the inn and register their number with you. From the beginning to the end, they don't have to take out a piece of fairy money from their wallets.
Face. Also, you can spend some money and find some sects with Shanshui Di newspapers to write some good articles for you, and have people take the initiative to contact several nearby ferries and some mountain ferries.
In particular, we must establish a good relationship with the Eternal Spring Palace, so that in the most expensive houses, there must be a jar of Eternal Spring Fairy Brew on the table. In addition, we must pay attention to attracting female cultivators to visit, and we must not ruin the reputation of the mountain and make money.
To make money, if you can't make money from women, how can you make big money? Then the inn has to have its own mirror. You can take the initiative to talk to the Penal Department Yamen and say that you can discuss cooperation. The reward is to lend the inn some beautiful scenery for free.
You don’t need to say anything at the Snail Shell Dojo. They naturally understand. They use the inn to collect intelligence on the mountain. The Ministry of Punishments are all experts. They will know the right balance so as not to destroy the inn’s sign. In this way,
Food, accommodation, transportation, and inns all have their own characteristics.”
Gaiyan's eyes lit up. Wow, Mr. Chen's "casualness" is really not casual.
Sure enough, an expert will know if there is one as soon as he takes action!
Xie Gou said in his heart: "Xiaomo Xiaomo, our mountain master is very good at business."
Xiao Mo smiled and said, "You just know."
Xie Gou asked doubtfully: "Is it natural?"
Xiao Mo said: "Of course not. I have to travel thousands of miles, read thousands of books, and meet hundreds of people."
Chen Ping'an raised his chin and continued to say from his heart: "Actually, there is not a real master in business right in front of you, so why should you abandon the near and seek the far away."
Gaiyan glanced at Zhou Haijing, who was walking in front, and said angrily: "I'm not on the right track with her. This bitch talks the most unpleasant way, and it's annoying to me."
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "It's not the right thing to do with her, and it's not the right thing to do with money, right? As long as we become a business partner and let her make money every day, see if she still quarrels and says weird things with you."
Gaiyan said tentatively: "Then let me give it a try?"
Chen Pingan nodded and said, "You must give it a try."
Become more beautiful and full of energy.
Chen Pingan said: "Gaiyan, let me remind you one last thing, it is a good thing to make money seriously, but don't forget your main business and practice well."
Gaiyan nodded vigorously and said cautiously: "Mr. Chen, do you really not need to divide the profits from the inn? I have a bad conscience."
Chen Ping'an said angrily: "Practice well and strive to break through as soon as possible. It's better than anything else!"
After exiting the gate of the government office, across the street is Honglu Temple.
Yu Yu and the others all said goodbye and left.
The sun was a bit dazzling. Jiang Shangzhen stretched out his hand to cover his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Miss Xie, I heard that Fei Fei is your second disciple?"
Xie Gou grinned and said: "That little girl is not even a sword cultivator. I don't recognize her as a disciple. What's more, she doesn't recognize me as the master. She doesn't recognize both sides. It doesn't matter. So before
When we met across the Yiluo River, we all pretended not to know each other. Let me guess, is it the aunt Yangzhi who has a big mouth with the sycamore tree in Tongyezhou? Haha, each of them needs to be cut."
Jiang Shangzhen turned his head and looked at Xiaomo.
Xiaomo is confused, what does it have to do with me?
Xie Gou rubbed his mink hat and asked, "Mountain Master, can I go find that Aunt Feng to catch up on old times?"
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "It's casual. I just want to send a message to Aunt Feng. That trip to the Land of Hundred Flowers should be done as soon as possible. When you go back and forth, remember not to make any noise. After all, this is the most kind place in the country.
, it is not appropriate to walk through the market in a flashy manner.”
Xie Gou laughed and said, "The mountain master is worrying too much. I've never been a bad person."
Xiao Mo said: "I won't go with her. I'm not familiar with her and have nothing to talk to her about."
Xie Gou's figure flashed away without making a sound.
But there is a girl with a mink hat on Chen Ping'an's side.
Xie Gou came to the flower shed near the Fire Temple in a flash and saw a charming and beautiful woman sitting under the grape trellis with old vines like dragons and pans, reading a book.
While reading, the words are all green. The cool breeze blows, and the scenery is infinite.
Xie Gou looked around and said in a very authentic small town dialect: "Oh, yes, it's okay. It's a quiet place in the middle of the noise. You really know how to pick a place."
Aunt Feng closed the book, raised her head and looked at the girl-like Bai Jing, and said in a soft voice: "Long time no see."
Xie Gou wiped his nose with his thumb and said, "Stop hiding it. I can smell the aroma of the wine. That's why I came here."
Aunt Feng was indifferent. Whether you have wine or not, what does it have to do with you, Bai Jing?
It's not like she hasn't seen Ascension Realm sword cultivators before, in fact, there are many.
Xie Gou suddenly smiled, clasped his hands in front of him, shook them, and said with a flattering face: "Aunt Feng, please give me some wine to drink, I'm very thirsty."
Aunt Feng was caught off guard. The "Bai Jing" in front of her was too un-Bai Jing.
Could it be that, like Xiao Mo, he used some ancient magical power to peel off part of his mind?
Xie Gou sat down at the stone table, put one hand on the table, and tapped his fingers on the table in turn, waiting for Aunt Feng to bring out the good wine to entertain the guests.
Aunt Feng stood up and came to the table and asked, "What did Chen Pingan say?"
Xie Gou grinned and pretended to be listening, "What?!"
She raised one arm and reached into her sleeve with the other hand.
A pocket sword box, hidden in the sleeve.
Inside the box is an ancient sword named Qing Cang.
In ancient times, this dagger was also known as "Qingchang", which made Taoist priests regret having Qingchang when they saw the sword's light.
It's a sword or a dragon. It's the same thing. It's just a line when it comes out of the box.
Rumor has it that Bai Jing also has a small sword, which he keeps in his arms and is kept secret.
Aunt Feng smiled and said, "Are you trying to scare me?"
Xie Gou shook his sleeves and laughed: "Don't dare, I can't kill you anyway."
Aunt Feng sighed quietly.
After a long separation, we meet an old friend again. As for whether we are friends or enemies, it doesn't seem to matter anymore.
Xie Gou leaned forward, lying on the table, spreading his hands, "When I woke up this time, everyone seemed to be strangers except Xiao Mo."
Aunt Feng smiled and said, "Have you slept with him?"
Xie Gou just smiled.
————
In the north of Dali, there is a towering mountain, formerly known as Baiyue.
Gu Can was accompanied only by his maid named Chunxiao, and his aunt Han Qiaose had returned to Baidi City in the Middle Earth.
At a roadside pavilion on an official road, Liu Xianyang stood side by side with a round-faced young woman in cotton-padded clothes, waiting for Gu Can.
"Gene Era"
Liu Xianyang looked at Gu Can and the woman. He didn't say anything, he just clicked his tongue.
It's okay, little slug. Sure enough, men become bad as soon as they get rich. Nowadays, you know how to take a beautiful woman with you when you go out. Will it warm the bed?
You must know that according to the customs in their hometown, the younger brother can only marry a wife after the elder brother has completed the marriage.
Gu Can didn't bother to say anything to Liu Xianyang. He just looked at the bright moon that came from the wilderness, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Gu Can from Mu Ping Lane, I have met my future sister-in-law."
Shengyue smiled and said: "My pseudonym is Yu Qianyue now. Of course, it doesn't matter if you call me Fellow Daoist Shengyue in private."
My first impression of Gu Can was good, much better than someone else's.
The maid gave her a blessing and said, "I am so miraculous. I have met Liu Jianxian and Sister Xieyue."
Of course she recognized Xieyue, but Xianyue didn't know this junior from her hometown.
Liu Xianyang smiled and glanced at the woman who claimed to be an efficacious person. As for her background, realm, and background, it didn't matter. He cupped his fists in return and smiled politely: "I've met the efficacious Taoist friend. I'm glad to meet you."
We don’t yet know the pros and cons of its efficacy.
Instead, she just felt that Liu Xianyang would be easier to get along with than that young hidden official.
The young master of the Longquan Sword Sect in front of him is definitely not a simple Jade Pu Realm sword cultivator.
One glance is enough.
Gu Can didn't waste any time, took out a wooden box from his arms, threw it to Liu Xianyang, and said in his heart: "What you told me is done."
Liu Xianyang smiled as usual, just took the wooden box, put it into his sleeve casually, strode forward, put his arm around Gu Can's neck, and asked with a soft smile: "Does it take any effort?"
Gu Can said angrily: "Don't worry about it."
After entering Baidi City to practice Taoism, Gu Can never asked that master.
This incident is the only exception.
There was no other way, Liu Xianyang threatened him that if he didn't accomplish this, he would stop thinking about being his best man and having a wedding banquet.
Liu Xianyang lowered his voice and asked, "Aren't you afraid that Chen Pingan will fall out with you if he finds out?"
Gu Can said calmly: "I will know better than you what the consequences will be."
After Liu Xianyang heard this answer, he nodded and patted Gu Can on the head, "Not bad, I didn't make you a friend in vain."
Gu Can pushed Liu Xianyang's hand away and reminded her from the bottom of her heart: "After all, it's just a portrait, and the effect may not be very good."
Liu Xianyang hummed, and then replied to Gu Can, "I only know this kind of thing better than you."
Gu Can said from the bottom of his heart: "As a reward, Master asked me to ask you something. Have you ever seen the 'Emperor' spirit who sits in the eternal river of time?"
Liu Xianyang's expression became solemn, he shook his head and said: "This is not the right place to talk about this. When we get to Youyi Peak, forget it, we'll talk about it after we go to Shenxiu Mountain."
Gu Can said: "Now that we have the answer, there is no need to bother. Master only needs to know that existence, whether it still exists. I am only responsible for helping Master determine whether it exists or not. As for the rest, if Master wants to know more inside information
, he will naturally come to you."
Liu Xianyang stretched out his hand and rubbed his chin, "Does City Master Bai drink alcohol? Is there any fairy wine that he is particularly fond of? If so, please help make a few jars."
Gu Can cursed in his hometown dialect. According to the way the three of them got along back then, he actually agreed.
Liu Xianyang held the back of his head with both hands, and Gu Can beside him looked more like a scholar.
They were also credited men and women from the same hometown, so they walked behind their respective Taoist companions and masters.
Liu Xianyang said lazily: "If I had been there at that time, I would definitely not have had to punch Cao Ci, and then those locust leaves of yours would have been useless."
Gu Can said: "You are the best at telling lies and bragging."
Apparently Chen Ping'an had informed Liu Xianyang about the wild fight that happened on a narrow road.
Perhaps he was worried that Liu Xianyang would not invite him to be the best man?
Liu Xianyang smiled mischievously and said, "Where are you and this sister?"
Gu Can sneered: "Same as you and Qiangyue."
Liu Xianyang was a little frustrated. Gu Can was very talented when it came to quarrels. At that time, he and Chen Pingan combined were not as good as a slug. Of course, at that time, Chen Pingan was no different with or without the dull gourd.
Gu Can hesitated for a moment and said: "Let me tell you my guess. The credit card next to you, her chance of becoming a Taoist in the future, may be related to the immortal tomb in our hometown, and the Xiangjun in Lingfei Palace whose Taoist name is Dongting.
"
Liu Xianyang nodded and said, "Mr. Qi must have had a profound meaning when he sent Miss Yu to our hometown."
I remember one time when we were eating potted duck with dried bamboo shoots at the blacksmith shop, Miss Yu mentioned something. Jiang Shangzhen once said a few words to her that were like poems about immortals and Bu Fuci.
As a result, when Liu Xianyang asked her what the specific content was, Miss Yu said it was about ascending to the sky, perfecting money, moonlight and white clouds, etc. She couldn't remember clearly.
Liu Xianyang, who thought he was generous enough, was immediately confused.
Later, it was Liu Xianyang who went to ask Chen Ping'an about the matter and asked for the full details.
Liu Xianyang suddenly slapped him over and taught him a lesson in his heart: "What's the point of credit? No matter how big or small, call me sister-in-law!"
Gu Can just lowered his head to avoid Liu Xianyang's attack, turned around and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, would you like me to tell you some old stories about Mud Bottle Alley? It's actually quite interesting."
Liu Xianyang laughed, quickly stretched out his hand to strangle Gu Can's neck, and said in a low voice: "Slugs... are all my brothers, so what if I call you Brother Gu!"
Qiangyue smiled and said, "Isn't it Wang Zhu? I know that Liu Xianyang used to go to Mu Ping Lane to see her."
Gu Can turned around and said with a smile: "So my sister-in-law knows, then there is nothing to talk about."
Liu Xianyang let go of Gu Can, sniffed to himself, wiped his face fiercely, and looked ahead blankly, I want to be in the realm of Sword Immortal, what is the use of being a sect leader.
Before Gu Can could rejoice in his misfortune, Liu Xianyang stretched out his hand to wrap around him, first choked out a stuffy fart, and then slapped him on the face with lightning speed.
When Gu Can cursed in his hometown dialect and was about to fight back, Liu Xianyang was already flying away with his sword.
Gu Can thought for a while, but still didn't chase after him.
When I was a kid, it was always like this.
Slug, stop crying. Come and wipe your face with my sleeve.
There was a fart sound, then a pop sound, then he made a fist and spread it out as a palm, covering the little slug's face.
After all, I was young at that time and had suffered many losses.
The child always cried heartbrokenly, so someone comforted him, saying that it was okay and would definitely help him teach Liu Xianyang a lesson, who had already run away laughing.
But every time he went to the mountains and went into the water, that man and Liu Xianyang would let the child with two runny noses take home all the harvest.
Liu Xianyang has indeed never been a stingy person.
Otherwise, why was Slug so "easy to talk to" with Song Banchai, who also lived in Mud Bottle Alley?
In Dali Capital, after Chen Ping'an left the Ministry of War office in Kejia Lane, Shen Chen still called over two ministers.
While waiting for someone in the house, Shen Chen stood at the desk, reaching out and stroking an ancient inkstone. The material was ordinary, but it had been passed down in an orderly manner and had been passed down for some years.
It is said that the old man died in the office of the first Minister of the Ministry of War in Dali. At that time, there was an unfinished official document of the Ministry of War, and there was still new ink in the inkstone.
Then somehow, this square inkstone was passed down from generation to generation and remained in the Yamen of the Ministry of War.
Such a small ancient inkstone, which is said to have been made for hundreds of years, has sent away many old men like Shen Chen.
Shen Chen heard two very familiar footsteps outside the house, came back to his senses, walked around the desk, and walked towards a chair.
After crossing the threshold and entering the house, the Minister of Industry asked warmly and directly: "He helped contact Beiju Luzhou Sanlang Temple and Luomahe Liu Family. Didn't he nod?"
Shen Chen smiled and said: "You are a thief. How can you nod so easily? Chen Guoshi is not a fool. After hearing a few good words, he happily agreed."
Mu Yan, the Minister of Household Affairs, asked: "What about Yu Guizong and Yun Ku Blessed Land? They also rejected it?"
Shen Chen said: "Half and half, Jiang Shangzhen said that it was useless to talk to Yu Guizong. The implication was that we should go find someone to talk to ourselves. But their Jiang family's Yunku blessed land has no problem and is very willing to do so.
Sit down with our Dali and discuss the specific cooperation matters. Because you, the God of Wealth in charge of the money bag, were not present, Jiang Shangzhen did not say that he would come forward. He just said that he would let the people in charge of the Jiang family leave.
Go to the capital."
Speaking of this, Shen Chen couldn't help but laugh and said: "We can't just because a great swordsman who has been a sect leader has outstanding military exploits, but he is sitting at the door of the imperial study without saying a word, so we should not take him seriously. thing."
Wen Er nodded and said: "After all, it is Jiang Shangzhen."
Now that everyone has arrived, the three ministers, one host and two guests, started talking about some military and state affairs.
When Wen Erhe and Mu Yan stood up to leave, the old minister didn't even get up. After all, he was old and a little weak, so he didn't see the guests off.
The old man sat on a chair, closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, then slowly got up and walked to the bookshelf. There were several thin pornographic books hidden there, which were very inconspicuous. The old man took out one of the books and dipped it in. Soak it in your saliva and open a page. The description of the woman's appearance and expression in the book is unique.
Some blank descriptions that don’t seem to be very romantic are even more memorable. For example, the page that Lao Shangshu is looking at is about how after a storm, the lover has escaped over the wall, and the woman in the boudoir is dressing up in the mirror. There was a beautiful woman with a rosy face and fragrant sweat on her temples. She seemed to be in pain. The woman reached out and rubbed her breasts lightly, frowning slightly, as if she was resentful but also ashamed...
This book, which cannot wait for elegance, was first circulated from Luzhou in Beiju to the Xianjia Ferry in Aquarius Island. After going around and around all the way, it was collected by Shen Shen in his youth.
The person who compiled this novel was none other than Jiang Shangzhen, who was making waves in Luzhou, Beiju with his cultivation in the Golden Core Realm.
The old man flipped through a few more pages before putting the books back on the bookshelf.
In fact, the question Jiang Shangzhen asked earlier was, "What does it mean to be an official?"
The old minister of the Ministry of War of Dali did not give a serious answer.
Not talking about other continents and other countries, it is very interesting to just say that we serve as officials in the Great Li court, especially as errands in the Ministry of War.
This octogenarian man was leaning against the bookshelf, lost in thought.
Shen Chen, whose courtesy name is Hongyi.
According to Shuowen's interpretation of Chinese characters, in some poems and articles, together with Jin Shi, the words Shen and Shen are actually interchangeable.
Since the surname is Shen and the given name is Shen, naturally a "character" is needed to complement the name.
Shen Chen shifted his gaze and looked towards the door.
I recall that back then, in a fit of anger, Shen Chen, who was an official in the Ministry of Personnel at the time, had political disagreements with Cui Chan, the national preceptor, so Shen Chen resigned from his position and threw his official hat to the ground on the spot, which is why he came up with the famous saying that is well known in official circles.
"Fuck the foreigners!"
Later, Cui Han personally brought Shen Chen to the Office of the Ministry of War. Before crossing the threshold and entering the house, Cui Han stopped and asked Shen Chen, had she thought about it? You, a scholar who has never touched a knife or worn armor, want to It's not easy to secure a seat in this room.
Shen Chen said that as long as Cui Guoshi promised me that those warriors would not come into the house with knives and chop me down, I would be able to manage the military department of a country.
He is also a Grand Master of Dali and a fellow disciple of the same discipline. After all, Chen Ping'an is younger and not as good as his senior brother Cui Chun. Haha, he is a bit far behind.
Are you bullying people by comparing yourself to Haoran Xiuhu? Fart, who made you, Chen Ping'an, sit on that chair today! It's not someone else!
If you don’t compare you with Cui Chan, how can you compare yourself with me, Shen Chen?
But having said that, when I met him today, the old man actually had a good impression of Chen Ping'an, and he certainly wouldn't be disappointed.
The old man walked towards the desk, stopped suddenly, rubbed his eyes, and squinted to make sure he was not dazzled.
Because at some point, there was an extra square seal with a dragon button on the table.
Shen Chen walked over slowly, without hurrying to pick up the seal. He put his hands behind his back and lowered his head to take a look. It seemed that the inscription and signature were separated on the side.
The title content is two sentences.
The sages have said that a scholar cannot be without great perseverance. There is a separate saying in the history books, and the above general seals the title to the son.
There is another sentence in the signature.
Dali Chen Ping'an imitated the ancient general's seal and carved it, and Mr. Hongyi taught it the correct way.
Shen Chen smiled and nodded, not bad.
The old man was not surprised or surprised.
Lao Shangshu has read countless books in his life, and there are countless good words and sentences in the books, including these... flattery, well, how can you call it flattery? It must be good words.
Then Shen Chen twisted the seal and looked at the contents of the bottom note. He was stunned for a long time. The old man was speechless for a long time. He gently put it down and straightened it slightly. After being silent for a long time, the old man picked it up again and looked at it again and again.
Finally, he was willing to put the seal back on the table. He looked at the door and then at the seat.
Cui Chan and Chen Ping'an are worthy of being brothers in the same discipline.
As a scholar, Shen Chen, who leads the military department of a country, had no time to ask Cui Chan, the national advisor, a certain question.
How am I doing as Minister of the Ministry of War?
The seven-character seal on the bottom is like an answer given on behalf of Cui Han.
