"This..."
Xiahou Hongde's eyes were as big as a bell, staring at Wang Shouzhe like fire.
Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier? He thought that swallowing fire spiritual stones was a necessary step to drink fire crystals~!
Unexpectedly, it was just to light a fire... or to add a sense of ceremony.
Suddenly, Xiahou Hongde felt the burning sensation in his stomach getting stronger and stronger.
The difficulty of using mysterious energy to enter the stomach and wrap the fire spirit stone is not ordinary! And the "Fire Crystal Burning" is not simple either. After swallowing most of the bowl of sea food, my whole body was burning and my blood was speeding up.
This is double the joy.
He hesitated whether to get off the carriage first and force the **** fire spirit stone out.
"However, Xiahou City Shou is worthy of being a cultivator in the Heavenly Realm." Wang Shouzhe said as he cupped his hands towards Xiahou Hongde, showing admiration and praising him, "The fire spirit stone burned into his belly, and it turned out that Being able to deal with it calmly is indeed a profound skill that reaches the sky."
You must know that once the fire spirit stone is activated, it can burn without oxygen and emit scorching heat waves. Most people can't bear this stimulation.
As soon as this was said.
Xiahou Hongde's idea of vomiting first when he got out of the car was immediately given up.
"It's just a small trick. When you, Master Shouzhe, are promoted to the Heavenly Realm, you will naturally be able to do it."
He endured the intense strangeness and discomfort in his internal organs, as if they were being roasted in a furnace, and showed an unfathomable, calm look.
He picked up the spiritual tea that he had previously disliked as being bland and drank it slowly, with the posture of a master who did not change his expression even if the Liuping Mountain collapsed in front of him: "Where did we talk just now? Yes, As long as you give me three hundred kilograms of fire crystals to burn, this city guard will forgive you this time."
This fire crystal is a good thing~
After just one drink, he was hooked. I just swallowed the fire spirit stone and my stomach couldn't bear it.
It is very suitable for heroic soldiers like them, well, they are so heroic and heroic. This reminded him of the feeling of fighting on the battlefield with his brothers when he was still in the Lingtai realm.
Unknowingly, he raised another hundred kilograms of chips.
"A mere three hundred kilograms of fire crystal roast is nothing more than a trivial matter. What's more, how long can I drink a little fire crystal roast?" Wang Shouzhe calmly refilled his tea and said slowly, "Xiahou City Shou is now only He's only over two hundred years old, in his prime. Even if he only drinks one hundred catties a year, he will have to consume fifty to sixty thousand catties for the rest of his life."
Fifty or sixty thousand catties?
Xiahou Hongde hesitated, why didn't he settle the account?
Oh, by the way, this guy also included his longevity in the Purple Mansion Realm.
This guy is quite good at talking.
I like it.
However, he is right about one thing. Even if he drinks one hundred catties a year, he will have to drink ten thousand to twenty thousand catties in the rest of his life, right?
Immediately, he hesitantly asked: "Master Shouzhe, how much does this wine cost per pound?"
Even Chixia Shao, which he is now tired of, costs several kilograms of gold per kilogram. A "unparalleled wine" like Huo Jing Shao is probably no less than ten kilograms of gold, right?
With his support, I can afford to drink.
But Xiahou Hongde is not alone. He has a large family to support, and his descendants are scattered in various military camps, so he must give them some subsidies.
What's more, monks in the Heavenly Realm have the expenses of the Heavenly Realm. Daily practice consumes resources, which adds up to an astronomical amount over time. If a cultivator in the Heavenly Realm wants to make progress, it is normal for him to spend tens of thousands of gold on cultivation every year.
This is why some families that are not good at management and have insufficient financial resources not only cannot be promoted to the Heavenly Realm, but even if they are barely promoted, if they do not quickly develop financial resources, just being in the Heavenly Realm will drag the family down. The reason for the collapse.
Of course, if you leave the realm of heaven and humanity, your family's status will be different.
Relying on the protection of the ancestors of the Heavenly Realm, one can quickly develop industries and expand financial resources. At the worst, the Heavenly Man Ancestor can still survive by going hunting outside the territory or something like that.
Just going to the outside world to play jungle is a dangerous thing after all. If you don't do it right, you may end up outside the territory. Therefore, it is not a long-term solution after all.
Let’s not talk about gossip for now.
Wang Shouzhe took a moment and said: "For external sales, I will tentatively price it at ten thousand gold per catty."
Sure enough!
Xiahou Hongde's eyes were slightly solemn. One thousand gold is not an astronomical figure for a monk in the heaven and human realm. But long-term consumption every year is a huge expense.
"How about this? I will give Xiahou City a share of three thousand kilograms every year at the price of seven thousand gold per kilogram." Wang Shouzhe preferred to drink spiritual tea. He poured himself a cup and said, "Anyway, I, the Wang family, are not They make a living purely by selling wine."
Seven kilograms of gold per pound? Three thousand catties of share! And every year!
Xiahou Hongde's eyes suddenly went straight.
If he could resell it, wouldn't he be able to earn more than 20,000 gold out of thin air?
He fell silent for a moment, looking at Wang Shouzhe with strange eyes.
As soon as this guy opened his mouth, he said he was doing business worth tens of thousands of dollars a year, and he looked like he was just doing it casually. No wonder... he was able to unite so many aristocratic families in a short period of time, even the Chang Ning Xu family seemed to look up to him.
This is the God of Wealth~ Who doesn’t like the God of Wealth?
"Master Shouzhe, you are bribing me." Xiahou Hongde said with a solemn expression, "What is your purpose?"
As a city guard, he is also a person who has seen the world.
He dared to take the dividends from the shares of Facai Gambling House because it was the tacit hidden income of the city guards of all generations.
But if Wang Shouzhe wanted to throw money at him and let him participate in the family fight, wouldn't he be dragged into the water? That would be more than worth the gain.
"Xiahou City Shou is overly worried." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "If I want to use you to participate in the family fight, how can I bring it up after the fact? I just like your military connections, sell some wine, and broaden my family. It’s just a source of funds. This is just a business cooperation and nothing else."
"Of course, if it is something that is reasonable, reasonable, and legal, and the adults can help you within the scope of your authority, Shouzhe will naturally be grateful, and we will treat each other as helping each other."
"That's okay." Xiahou Hongde finally couldn't resist the temptation and agreed with a smile, "I can only promise you that during my term of office, I will give your family some conveniences that are in line with Daqian law. At the same time, I will also give a hint to the Huangfu family not to act recklessly during my term of office."
"In that case, I would like to thank Xiahou City for guarding it."
Wang Shouzhe cupped his hands towards him, and the smile on his face became more sincere.
He believed that Xiahou Hongde would hint and warn the Huangfu family. After all, this was also related to the peace of Changning Wei during his term of office.
However, Xiahou Hongde overestimated his intimidating power in the eyes of the Huangfu family and underestimated the tremendous pressure Huangfu faced for survival and promotion.
The development of things is destined to disappoint Xiahou Hongde~
After the cooperation of interests, Xiahou Hongde's attitude towards Wang Shouzhe suddenly became a little different.
The two chatted for a few more words, and Xiahou Hongde left with a few pots of fire crystals presented by Wang Shouzhe.
When he got off the carriage, his calm appearance disappeared without a trace, and his face turned red from suppressing it, full of embarrassment and discomfort.
Finding a corner, he didn't care about anything else. He immediately exploded into shape and flew towards the city guard's mansion.
Because that **** fire spirit stone had slipped under the stomach unknowingly and entered the longest organ of the human body that is hard to describe in words.
……
On Wang Shouzhe's side, as soon as he sent away Xiahou City Shou, he welcomed another wave of guests.
That is Fang Youan, a direct disciple of Zifu Academy.
He is still as gentle as jade, and has the calm demeanor of a noble man from an aristocratic family. Even his posture when tasting the spirit tea is particularly charming.
He complained with a smile: "Junior Brother Shouzhe, you are too popular. Now if I want to see you, I have to queue up."
"Haha, Senior Brother You'an is joking." Wang Shouzhe sat across from him, with a hint of apology in his expression, "I know the purpose of Senior Brother You'an. Today is indeed Shouzhe's fault, thanks to you The general situation in Changning Guard caused a stir, and the power of the academy was used to intimidate Patriarch Hua Ye, so that he did not dare to make any changes for the time being."
Although Fang Youan and other academy disciples did not speak or express their stance during the whole incident, it does not mean that they were not involved in Wang Shouzhe's calculations.
In fact, if it weren't for their presence, relying on the influence of the Heavenly Man Huangfu clan and Hua Ye ancestors in Changning Guard, they might not be able to cover up the matter, and Xiahou Hongde would not have decided to handle it impartially.
After all, the official influence of the Academy is still considerable. Xiahou Hongde was also afraid that his hesitation would affect his subsequent promotion and reputation.
So, the presence of Fang Youan and other academy disciples is the most important part of the perfect execution of his plan this time.
"It doesn't matter, it's your ability to take advantage of the situation." Fang You'an smiled calmly and said, "Besides, the other party is indeed involved with the Yinsha Sect. Since you took action to deal with it, it can be regarded as a contribution to Daqian."
"Thank you for your understanding, Senior Brother You'an." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "Senior Brother You'an, you are here by chance. Come and try the 'Ice Mountain Fire' I brewed by myself."
After saying that, he raised his hand and took out another pot of spiritual wine.
"..."
Fang Youan was slightly curious.
"Iceberg Fire" is also a highly potent alcohol. However, Wang Shouzhe's "Ice Mountain Fire" is brewed with white jade Zhilan rice and ice dew grass. The color is as crystal clear as ice and exudes the slightest chill.
As soon as the wine is poured into the specially thickened glass, wisps of white mist rise up, looking quite fairy-like.
"This wine is more suitable to be paired with ice spiritual stones."
As he spoke, Wang Shouzhe took out an ice spirit stone, activated it with mysterious energy and put it into the cup.
In an instant, the white mist turned into frost, and a layer of gorgeous ice flowers formed on the rim of the cup.
"Interesting, let me try."
Fang Youan picked up the thickened glass and was about to drink.
Wang Shouzhe remembered what he had learned from the past and quickly reminded: "Brother You'an, please do not drink the spirit stones together."
Fang Youan rolled his eyes at Wang Shouzhe with a strange look: "Junior Brother Shouzhe, why do you need to remind me? Fang is not a fool, he will swallow the spirit stone."
"Uh...haha~ Shouzhe is too talkative." Wang Shouzhe laughed dryly, raised his hand and said, "Senior Brother You'an, please."
Fang Youan sniffed the taste, and then took a sip in a smart manner.
The next moment, his calm expression changed slightly, and then, it changed again, and then, again, his eyes became a little blurred, as if he was caught in some kind of memory emotion.
After more than ten breaths, his eyes returned to clarity, and he sighed slightly: "I finally understand why this wine is called 'Iceberg Braised'. It feels like drinking ice wine in the mouth, and the whole body is cool, but after the refreshment, , but the five internal organs and lungs are burning like fire. Good wine, good wine. But..."
"Senior Brother You'an, do you think there are still some shortcomings?" Wang Shouzhe asked humbly.
"There's nothing wrong with it. It's just that the name can be changed." Fang You'an narrowed his eyes slightly, "At first glance, this wine looks like a pure woman with a calm personality, and it's even more wonderful when you drink it for the first time. Words. But when you actually drink it, you realize that she is so hot as fire, domineering and ferocious torturing you until you are in great pain. But when you come back to your senses, you find that you have fallen in love with this indescribable taste. Why not change the name to -'Ice Girl'."
"..."
Wang Shouzhe was speechless. It seems that Senior Brother Youan has quite a lot of life experience~
I don’t know which senior is so clever that she even took care of Senior Brother Youan.
It’s just an ice girl——
Okay! As long as you like it, who makes you a monk in the heaven and human realm? You have the final say if you have big fists.
Wang Shouzhe decided that the slogan on the packaging of this wine in the future would quote this description from Brother Youan, and the source must be indicated.
The direct disciples of the Academy have all agreed to drink the wine, don’t you want to try it?
Subsequently, Wang Shouzhe sent Fang Youan to sell wine in the same old way.
Even though he is a direct disciple of the Academy, a direct disciple is also a human being, and he has to save resources to rush to the Purple Mansion, right?
Cooperation will benefit both parties~
……
After Fang Youan left, the carriage that Wang Shouzhe had "borrowed" ushered in another customer queuing up.
That is "Mrs. Ji" dressed up by Wang Mei.
In this operation to eliminate Huangfu's minions, she contributed a lot. Moreover, her identity will still be useful in the subsequent strategic arrangements.
Especially after Ji Mingyu inadvertently stamped and authenticated it, her identity as the representative of the "Ji family" can be regarded as "confirmed".
"Wang Mei." Wang Shouzhe still "borrowed" "Jasper Gouqing" to entertain her, and said, "It's really **** you this time, and I need you to be patient for a while."
"Master Shouzhe, please call me 'Mrs. Ji'." Mrs. Ji said with a charming and enchanting look in her eyes, "Don't call me by the wrong name."
"Hiss~"
Wang Shouzhe looked helpless. Wang Mei was good at everything, but once she entered the character state, it was very difficult for him.
"Um..." Wang Shouzhe coughed, "You came to me in the middle of the night, aren't you afraid that Huangfu will become angry?"
"What are you afraid of?" Mrs. Ji's pretty eyes crossed, and her voice was indescribably charming, "The more I stimulate them, the more afraid they are of me running away, and the more they know how to cherish me. This is the same as men..."
Uh...
What you said makes sense, but I’m afraid my wife won’t understand it.
Wang Shouzhe was also thinking secretly in his heart.
