These days, Li Xiaotian lives a two-point and one-line life. He spends most of his time practicing in the Prefectural Mufu, and only goes to the mine for a walk at noon every day. Lei Ming is busy repairing the Chamber of Commerce and has no time to bother him. His ears feel much clearer.
, It’s really a bit unaccustomed to it, and I feel a little bit lost.
The progress of the mine is surprisingly fast. It was supposed to take half a month, but it will be completed in five days, which is tomorrow.
There is no way, the rewards are big, the food is good, the hope is great, the motivation is great, and such fast progress is both unexpected and reasonable.
Most of them can return to their hometowns with honors, while some heavy-duty prisoners need to continue to go to jail. They can choose to take their wages with them or give the money to their families. After all, the serious crimes they committed are difficult to tolerate under the law.
The sentence should be served, but considering that they suffered a lot in the mine, the sentence was appropriately reduced.
As for those workers who unfortunately died in the mines, Li Xiaotian asked Zhang Suan to write down a specific list, and then asked the Imperial Guard to go there and deliver them to their families one by one.
Now, the only question left is who will collect the gold ore.
Dong Dong.
Li Xiaotian was using the fifth-level beast elixir to draw Qi and open his meridians when he heard a familiar knock on the door. He put away the beast elixir and stood up to open the door.
"Aren't you repairing the Chamber of Commerce? It has been completed in just a few days?" Li Xiaotian asked.
Lei Ming replied: "No, I came back yesterday."
"Let me just say, everyone is gone, you can't see or hit, there is no need to be so rigid and obedient. It seems that you are not as afraid of your father as you thought." Li Xiaotian teased.
Lei Ming laughed at himself: "I'm not as brave as you think. Who dares to dishonestly complete what he told me? I was able to escape early because the family has sent a new shopkeeper to take office, and he arrived in Youzhou yesterday."
"It just so happens that the gold mine will be dug out tomorrow. I'm still worried about the appointment of the new boss of the Lei's Chamber of Commerce in Youzhou Branch. I just came here. I want to find an opportunity to talk to him about buying and selling ore." Li Xiaotian relaxed slightly.
In one breath, the last problem was solved.
Lei Ming said: "You don't need to look for opportunities. Opportunities have come to your door. I came to knock on the door to tell you that he took the initiative to ask us to have dinner."
If you invite me to dinner for no reason, you must have something to do.
Li Xiaotian was puzzled: "He has something to do with us?"
Lei Ming spread his hands and said, "I don't know, maybe."
Li Xiaotian asked again: "Do you know him?"
Lei Ming shook his head and said, "I've heard of it, but I'm not familiar with it."
Li Xiaotian was speechless when he asked three questions: "Aren't you from the same family as him?"
Lei Ming said helplessly: "You may not know much about the big families in Shengyuan Continent. There are nearly a hundred people of my generation with a wide age range. How can I understand them all?"
There are more than a hundred cousins, which really surprised Li Xiaotian. How big is their Lei family? Calculated, the population is only much larger than that of Lijiagou. It is really prosperous. Li Xiaotian strongly doubts the location of their Lei family.
For Shengyuan Continent to gain a foothold, this human wave strategy is indispensable.
Li Xiaotian said directly: "Then tell me what you know."
"His name is Lei Wu. He is twenty-eight years old. His cultivation qualifications are at the top among his peers. He is now at the peak of the eighth level of Tongmai. Judging from his appearance, he should be about to break through." Lei Ming said what he knew.
"That's not right. In a borderland like Youzhou, which is considered by your family, how could you send a high-class talent to be the shopkeeper?" Li Xiaotian asked doubtfully.
"Probably he came here for the Soul Devouring Powder and the Blood Knife Technique." Lei Ming guessed.
Li Xiaotian nodded in agreement: "It seems that the impact of this matter is not small, it is not that simple."
"Things like maintaining the world should be left to those who control the world to worry about. We unworthy little guys can just live in the present." Lei Ming suddenly sighed.
Li Xiaotian looked at Lei Ming with special eyes and said half-jokingly: "It's been three days since we've been apart. I'm so impressed that you can express such profound insights."
It was rare for Lei Ming to be praised, so he said proudly: "What a talent, I have a lot of hidden talents, and I will show them to you by chance."
But I was secretly happy: I really didn’t eat the walnuts these days in vain.
"Ah."
I don't know when, Geng Nian suddenly appeared like a ghost. He said a very sarcastic word without smiling, and judging from his appearance, he seemed to have been listening for a long time.
Li Xiaotian and Lei Ming were startled by Geng Nian's sudden sound.
It's better to practice so well that you can't even notice it if you stand nearby.
"Brother Geng, as a master in the middle stage of condensation, it's not very good for you to eavesdrop on the conversation between two masters of the Tongmai class." Lei Ming countered the inexplicable taunt.
"I live here." Gengnian calmly pointed to the room next to Li Xiaotian.
It turned out that the two people were talking too loudly and were so absorbed in their conversation that Gengnian stood beside them without even noticing. Gengnian had to listen even if he didn't want to listen, so there was no such thing as eavesdropping.
"In this regard, I have wronged Brother Geng, but your words really hurt my heart. Originally, I thought you were already in the middle stage of pill condensation, and you don't have a storage bag yet. Both of us who are on the seventh level of Tongmai have both.
, especially me, there are five or six of us, and I thought of giving you one as a gift, but I didn’t expect Brother Geng to treat me like this." Lei Ming lured him with things, trying to win back the city.
In fact, Li Xiaotian had long wanted to give a storage bag to Geng Nian. After all, this thing is extremely convenient for monks. To be honest, as long as you are a monk, who wouldn't want it? But, the price
It is too expensive, easily worth tens of millions of gold coins. If it is not for the rich and powerful, ordinary monks really can't afford it. Even Li Xiaotian can't afford it on his own. Now, Lei Ming takes the initiative to mention that he will give whatever he wants.
Gather one over in Geng Nian.
"Peach."
Just when Li Xiaotian's head was spinning, Geng Nian suddenly said another word.
When Lei Ming heard this, he was filled with doubts. It turned out that what he said was "he", not "he", but "core", implying that he knew that he had secretly eaten walnuts. This kind of thing was no less than a man secretly drinking aphrodisiacs and being discovered by others.
Same, after all, who would admit that there is something wrong with their head?
"Now, that's it for you."
Lei Ming quickly took out a storage bag and stuffed it into Gengnian.
"Thank you."
Geng Nian said calmly, the fact that these two words came out of his mouth was enough to prove the joy and sincere gratitude in his heart.
Li Xiaotian and Lei Ming looked at Gengnian in disbelief at the same time, and said in unison: "Can you say it again?"
"roll."
After Geng Nian finished speaking, he tried the storage bag and put his sword in it.
Afterwards, the three of them were half talking and half laughing. No, they must have left the house talking and laughing, and went to have dinner with Lei Wu, the new boss of the Chamber of Commerce.
Since the battle between the Chamber of Commerce, Li Xiaotian, Geng Nian and Lei Ming have become friends of life and death. From a cooperative relationship to friends, or it is more appropriate to say they are close friends. After this battle, Lei Ming wanted to give Geng Nian a storage bag.
, but the storage bag he carried was to contain the stolen goods that Li Xiaotian ransacked, and this thing was also recorded in the family account. It belonged to the public and could not be regarded as his own. Thinking of this, Lei Ming suddenly realized that even though he was in Pianzhou, he seemed to be in trouble.
He couldn't afford to give away the storage bag because he didn't seem to have earned much money in the past ten years. He seemed to be poorer than Li Xiaotian, with a total asset of less than ten thousand. Only then did he realize that he was too honest and spent all the money he earned from Cao Qing.
All the money was handed over.
It seems to be because I haven’t eaten walnuts before.
This is Lei Ming’s best summary of himself.
The storage bag given to Geng Nian belonged to Lei Yu. He originally wanted to give it to his father Lei Zhenhu. Unexpectedly, he didn't even look at it. Lei Ming, who had eaten walnuts, would not hand it over honestly, so he could only
I reluctantly accepted it. You must know that this was earned by working hard for your life. I don’t know how many decades it was worth.
Therefore, I take this opportunity to wish you the Year of Geng.
