Origin Chapter 679: Blind man greedy for money

Everyone got up and left. Although one person stood up, he did not retreat immediately, but stayed at the end. Even if everyone left, this person still hesitated, neither retreating nor making a statement.

This person is not someone else, but Jiang Ci, the lord of Yanshan City. Yanshan is the territory directly under the jurisdiction of Yong King Jiang Zhen. This time Jiang Ci also came to help a bear with Jiang Zhen.

Seeing Jiang Ci hesitated, Wu Zhongyuan vaguely guessed why he hesitated. The mountain where the Leopard Lin Beast is located is in Yanshan Mountain. The Leopard Lin Beast is pregnant for three months. According to the time, the Leopard Lin Beast should have already After the production, Jiang Ci was going to play this matter. The reason why he hesitated was undoubtedly because the matter was too confidential. Jiang Ci was not sure whether he should let other people in the hall know about it.

"Jiang Ci, do you have good news to tell the widow?" Wu Zhongyuan asked with a smile.

"The saint is wise and wise, and in a word." Jiang Ci is the most flattering of all the city lords.

"How many?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again, the combination of the tiger dragon beast and the leopard lin beast is not necessarily Qiongqi, only the tiger head and the leopard tail, and the dragon claw and the lin body.

"There seems to be only one." Jiang Ci said.

"One?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned. In modern terms, the tiger dragon beast and the leopard lin beast are hybrids, and their offspring will randomly inherit the genes of their parents. Only one is born, and the possibility of being a poor oddity is very small. .

"It seems that there is only one," Jiang Ci said. "Worrying about disturbing them, the final commander would not dare to get too close."

"Okay, I get it, I'll go there personally." Wu Zhongyuan nodded and said.

Jiang Ci nodded yes, bowed and walked away.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't tell everyone what he and Jiang Ci were talking about, and everyone didn't ask questions. If Wu Zhongyuan wanted to say it, he would take the initiative to say it.

Wu Zhongyuan had been away for half a year and knew nothing of what happened during this time. The reason why he kept everyone in the Zhongtian Temple this time was to listen to everyone's reports.

Previously, Wu Zhongyuan had a brief conversation with the old blind man outside the palace, but it only involved the food issue. The old blind man was the prime minister of the country and was in charge of the six ministries.

The old blind man knew that Wu Zhongyuan was most concerned about people's livelihood issues, so he spoke in great detail. Hundred days of rice and purple sweet potato had already been harvested at this time. At present, the main rations in the major cities are purple sweet potato, which is the future generations. The storage period of purple sweet potato is only one year at most, so it is eaten first. This thing can be used as a staple food. Until modern times, potatoes are the staple food in many poverty-stricken areas.

Previously, Wu Zhongyuan had issued a decree to give priority to ensuring the food supply of the Sifang Camp, and the rice grain saved by the people was mainly supplied to the Sifang Camp.

Because it is still in the hunting ban period, the meat is mainly Hu rabbit. The rabbit species was brought by the black widow when the family moved south. Last year, Wu Zhongyuan distributed the rabbit species to Dayuancheng. The reproduction has begun to take shape.

During this period of time, the Heiji Mountain Armadillo, led by Wu Lao Er, has been busy digging holes. There are seventy-two wall cities. Every city needs to dig at least one cave for refuge. Those who rely on mountains should dig caves, and those without mountains should dig underground caves. This work is now nearing completion.

During the harvest season of 100-day rice and purple sweet potato, outsiders tried to set fire to the rice grain and attracted wild beasts to eat the purple sweet potato. Since Wu Zhongyuan had previously issued a ban on hunting, the public did not dare to harm and waste it at will. The beasts of the crops, the old blind man decided to act expediently after consulting with everyone, and hunted and killed those beasts that were wasting food.

The old blind man was very nervous when he talked about this. He didn't feel relieved until Wu Zhongyuan affirmed his actions. Orders are dead, people are alive, and sometimes they have to be flexible.

The Yinma River has also entered the right track at this time. Along with the business, there is also currency. The shell coins made of copper are collectively referred to as money. One shell coin is one coin, and the value of one coin is one pound of salt.

The people of Weicheng and Zhou Raoguo have also settled down. In the past six months, Dasha has carved out a broad road connecting the barbarians and the Middle Earth. Passing through the city, the destination is the Yinma River and the Yanba Sea. Goods can be shipped to Yinmahe for sale in a very short time.

The Yi people also fulfilled their previous promise to him, and gave a part of the beach where they fished, hunted, and dried salt to the people in Kuicheng. At this time, in addition to the normal exchange and trade of salt, Kuicheng and the Yi people also bought a lot of salt. Donated to Youxiong. At this time, the salt stored by ourselves is enough for the needs of Dayuancheng for five years. The autumn and winter seasons are good seasons for drying salt. By the end of the year, we should be able to store enough salt for ten years.

The Yi people originally had some Tiangang crossbows and Disha bows. After the road was opened, they were sent to the Sifang camp, but the number was far from enough. At this time, their own arsenal had been built and began to manufacture various weapons. Craftsmen, skilled firearms craftsmen of Zhou Rao, and Yi people who are good at making powerful bows and crossbows.

The soldiers of the four camps have also been in place. According to his previous instructions, a large number of low-level warriors have been deployed. Each camp has 10,000 soldiers and 2,000 warriors. Li Wanzi is in charge of the personnel department. Recently, he has been working with Zhu Qian. Wei was busy selecting warriors of all ranks to guard the camp. The rebels suddenly attacked, and Li Wanzi and Zhu Qianwei, who were far away at the border, did not receive any news.

The old blind man had always wanted to draw a complete map of the Central Plains, thinking it would be used for commanding operations in the future, but at this time he was busy with official business and could not do it himself, and Zhu Qianwei and Li Wanzi needed to communicate with each other frequently from the Sifang camp. The old blind man entrusted them to record the mountains and rivers on their behalf. At this time, the map of the Central Plains had already taken shape.

Wang Xinran is the Queen of the Middle Palace, but before that she was an officer of the 18th Bureau. People in the system often hold meetings. She is not unfamiliar with such meetings. She occasionally opens her mouth when the old blind man is talking. In addition, mainly for some matters in the arsenal, the gunpowder made by the Rat Race was of poor quality and could not be used as a propellant, and the firearms created were limited in power. She is trying to improve this problem.

After getting the Hunyuan Ding, Jiang Nan has been researching it. Although the research is still in the theoretical stage, there is a general context. The Hunyuan Ding is different from the ordinary Dan Ding. There is no need to match the five elements, but there are great variables. It is not just a mess of spirits that can be thrown into a high-level medicine pill. If you want to open the furnace, the sum of the spiritual energy contained in various spiritual objects must reach the amount of condensing a jade essence elixir. Below this amount, the Primordial Cauldron cannot be activated.

In other words, the limit that Hunyuan Cauldron can refine medicinal pills is the cultivation of Yu Yuan. The so-called Yu Yuan is the pinnacle of Jinxian. It may be other rank pills of varying numbers. The sum of the aura of the pills will not decrease, but the aura will be scattered. The most unlucky one is a pile of red pills. Under normal circumstances, blue pills are mostly, luck is better. If you are a child, there will also be purple elixir, and the black elixir of Sanxu cultivation base is relatively small, but not very few. As for the white elixir of the three spiritual cultivation base, it is extremely rare, and the golden elixir of the three yuan cultivation base may be fired tens of thousands of times without a single one.

In addition, after the Hunyuan Cauldron is opened, the elixir that comes out is often very mixed, not a single rank. It may be mixed with elixir of different ranks. The success rate of alchemy is 100%, but the pros and cons all depend on luck. To put it mildly, it is called luck, and to put it bluntly, it is gambling.

After discovering this drawback of the Hunyuan Ding, Jiang Nan did not hide it, but told the old blind man in time, and the old blind man also informed those who wanted to borrow the Hunyuan Ding, thinking that this uncertainty It can make everyone retreat in spite of difficulties, but it makes them even more crazy. Everyone has a fluke mentality. This is like buying a lottery ticket. They are all for 5 million. In case a jade yuan golden pill comes out, Straight to the sky.

In addition to refining Qi-boosting elixir, Hunyuan Ding can also refine other targeted elixir, such as anti-poison, healing and other elixir, which do not need to reach the amount of jade, as long as the bronze medal The recipe recorded above can be tempered with a good spirit.

Wanshanhong has a collection of hundreds of herbs in the Southern Wilderness. In the past six months, he has also sent people to the Southern Wilderness to follow the map, but the harvest is not very satisfactory. As soon as the Hunyuan Cauldron came out, there were people looking for spiritual things everywhere, many Spiritual things have been taken first by others.

If the first-in-command and the second-in-command are of the same character, they will definitely not be able to do their jobs well. The best partner is the complementary character of the first-in-command and the second-in-command. Wu Zhongyuan is very generous, while the old blind man likes to plan carefully and has received a lot of borrowings in the past six months. The "deposit" of Hunyuan Ding, the so-called deposit is all kinds of spiritual things.

As long as someone wants to borrow it, the old blind man agrees and accepts the deposit. When the other party fails to collect the spiritual items needed to open the furnace, the deposit will naturally be confiscated.

Even if you get it all together, you still have to pay rent. The rent is also a spiritual item. If the other party wants to make alchemy, he has to donate the same amount of spiritual item.

This kind of behavior of the old blind man is good at calculating, and if it is ugly, it is black, and he is an unscrupulous profiteer.

The hundred or so people who helped us fight the rebels before basically paid deposits. These people are still waiting for the alchemy to start in October. If the Yellow Emperor changes hands, the previous deposits will be paid in vain. .

In addition, the old blind man is also crazy to make money. In the battle on the coast of the East China Sea, his own reputation is far-reaching. Tribes both inside and outside the Central Plains have come to pay tribute and become ministers. The old blind man is more harmonious than Heshen. As long as others dare to send it, He dared to collect it, and in a very short period of time gathered a large number of various war preparation materials.

"Those people came to pay tribute to seek shelter. If he came to ask for help, how could we just sit back and ignore it?" Wu Zhongyuan was a little worried.

The old blind man said, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry for the blunt words of the minister, even if we don't accept their tribute, you can't just sit back and ignore them when they come to ask for help in the future."

Wu Zhongyuan thought about it and found that what the old blind man said was true. He was not the kind of person who could not help him. Even if others didn't give gifts, he would come to ask for help every day with snot and tears. They sit still.

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer, the old blind man knew that he was worried, so he said, "We have collected a lot of spiritual things these days, enough to open the furnace more than ten times, the Holy One should check the Hunyuan Cauldron... "
