Chapter 128 Young Master Qingyu

Hearing Fangjia say "My lord is here to invite you", and then seeing the two monks with swords behind Fangjia, Wu Sheng and Master Dongsun looked at each other, each of them couldn't help but feel guilty.

"May I ask which son it is?" Wu Sheng asked boldly.

Fang Jia said, "Young Master Qingyu."

"I don't know if the young master is calling, what's important, I'll be ready for it." Wu Sheng continued to ask boldly.

This time Fangjia couldn't answer, turned his head and looked behind him, a monk behind him clasped his hands and said: "Master Shen, there is no need to worry, and there is nothing to prepare, the young master has something to ask, just ask a few words, shopkeeper Dong doesn't need to go. "

Venerable Dongsun leaned on the doorpost and watched Wu Sheng, Wu Sheng waved at him: "Go to Fangshi to buy some spiritual materials and come back, I'm good at alchemy."

Wu Sheng was relieved as soon as the guard bowed his hand to salute, and he didn't let Master Dongsun go, which also showed that it had nothing to do with the two of them being wanted by Jixia Academy, otherwise they would have been taken away at the same time by stringing them together.

There are two princes in Yongguo, the older one is Chengshuang, the younger one is Qingyu, and it was Qingyu who invited Wu Sheng to the house.Young Master Qingyu's mansion is not far from Sima's Mansion, but its regulations are much smaller, with only two floors.

After entering the mansion with the two guards, Young Master Qingyu showed up to meet him before he had time to observe the furnishings such as magic instruments.

"Is it the alchemy master of Yongrentang?"

"See you son."

"Why is Pill Master Shen's face so blue... so big?"

"Accidentally knocked on the door and made the young master laugh."

"careless?"

"As alchemists, we do what we do and love what we do. We think about alchemy all the time. It's normal to bump into doors and fall."

"So that's how it is... Master Shen, please take a seat."

Wu Sheng sat in the guest seat in a regular manner, and said: "Young master is recruiting, but the little man is late, and I hope you will forgive me."

Young Master Qingyu smiled and said: "Shen alchemist, don't be cautious. Yuan Sima told me before that there is a new alchemist in Shangyong City. The alchemy method is superb and the elixir is extraordinary. This is the blessing of Yongguo. I have always wanted to see him The alchemist, however, is not convenient because of the heavy state affairs. In recent days, Yongrentang's panacea has become more and more famous in Shangyong, and it happens that Yuguo has come to the country, so I invite the alchemist to come and talk about it."

Does Yu Guo's credential have anything to do with him?Wu Sheng didn't understand, so he bowed during the dinner, "Please speak clearly, my lord."

Qingyu said: "Now that winter is coming, it's time for the Putai League meeting. Yuguo sent the letter of credence and summoned the princes and princes of all countries to go to the alliance. My father is ill, and he still can't go this year. Let me go on his behalf."

Seeing that Wu Sheng was still puzzled, he said: "Every three years at the Putai League, all discuss the tribute of spears, and the four countries of Yong, Yu, Kui, and Yu should pay tribute to gold, magic tools, elixir, spiritual materials, and silk as usual. Hemp, spirit wine, rice, animal skins, etc..."

Wu Sheng listened to him for a long time, and finally understood.

At that time, the Yong State was very powerful, and the Huiyu, Kui, and Yu nations formed an alliance to attack the Chu State, and the Chu State was almost defeated.It was not until it was agreed that Qin and Ba would jointly attack the Yong State that the crisis was turned into safety and the Yong State was destroyed.

After the destruction of Yong, the Chu State moved the largest four kingdoms to the south as a barrier from Baiyue and the wild land, and agreed on the amount of tribute.This tribute was shared by the four countries, and the total value of the goods was decided by the Chu people. As for how much they shared, the Chu country didn't care.

For the sake of which family will share how much, the four countries almost went to war. If it weren't for the centuries-old in-laws and covenant, they would almost have fought.

In the end, the kings of the four countries met in Putai and agreed on a method, that is, the total expenditure of the tribute will be shared by the four countries according to the ratio of 4:3:2:1. It is also shared according to national power.

Before paying tribute, Chu State gave the total amount of various tributes, and all countries prepared tributes according to the covenant.In order to meet Chu State's requirements for tributes, the covenant agreed at the same time that these tributes should be prepared by the best country, which can not only give full play to the advantages of the country, but also reduce the burden on other countries.

For example, the state of Chu stipulated that five hundred pieces of animal skins were required for tribute this year, with a total value of not less than fifty gold. The other three countries allocated money to the country of Zong according to the agreed ratio.

As for which country is good at what, it can only be compared.

Speaking of this, Qingyu said: "Forty percent of the tribute is borne every year, which can be regarded as heavy for Yongguo. In recent years, Dayong's refining tools and alchemy are not as good as fish, and silk and hemp and wine making are not as good as Kui. Undertaking the financing of spiritual materials and rice, a large amount of gold was lost to other countries."

Wu Sheng understood a little bit, and asked: "The pricing is in the hands of the Chu people? How do they determine how much the tribute is worth?"

Qingyu said: "The southern county of the Chu people is Yangzhou, and Yangzhou has Fangshi. The Chu people use the price of the local Fangshi as evidence."

The people of Chu used the price of Yangzhou Fang City as the standard for judging the quality of tributes. In fact, they inflated the price, and there was a lot of profit in it.Yongguo bears [-]% of the expenses of Maogong, but can only recover some from spiritual materials and rice, which is a big loss.

The most suitable one should be Yuguo. Both magic tools and elixir are in Yuguo's bag. This is too cheap. Wu Sheng is an alchemist himself, so of course he knows how much room there is for manipulation. He estimates that Yuguo's surface I am afraid that the [-]% of the burden of the spear tribute will be greatly discounted in the end, and the actual burden of [-]% is not bad.

Sure enough, Qing Yu said: "The state of Chu has sent an edict stating that the total value of the tribute from the four countries this year is a thousand gold, including hundreds of gold, magical implements, elixirs, spiritual materials, silk hemp, spiritual wine, rice, and animal skins. The meeting will be held this summer." The alliance will also agree that what the countries prepare must be three years."

Wu Sheng asked: "My lord, what do you mean by pill?"

Qingyu nodded: "Two hundred and fifty gold for magical instruments, three hundred gold for elixirs, and one hundred and fifty gold for spiritual materials. These are the values ​​set by the people of Chu. Shangyongfang City is the largest of the four countries, and the spiritual materials should be prepared by Dayong." Undoubtedly, not to mention the rice, if the refining of the elixir can be taken back from the hands of Yuguo, then Dayong will be able to break a hundred gold in this year's Maogong, and the pressure will be much less."

Wu Sheng asked: "How do you compare magical instruments? How do you compare pills?"

Qing Yu said: "There are three arrays of magical weapons, three furnaces of spiritual pills, and a live competition on Putai."

Wu Sheng understood: "So, the meaning of the young master is to let the little people compete in alchemy? I heard that Yun Ji, the alchemist of the Yu Kingdom, is a famous teacher, and his strength is not bad..."

Qing Yu said: "The elixir refined by Alchemist Shen is said to be as effective as him."

Wu Sheng smiled modestly, and hesitated, "But I don't know how to win?"

Qing Yu said: "If Master Shen can take back the refining of the spirit pill, all the spear tribute of the spirit pill this year will be refined by Master Shen. Yongguo will pay [-] gold!"

The total price of two thousand spirit pills is two hundred and thirty gold. With his cost, at least he can make a [-]/[-] split. Wu Sheng quickly calculated in his mind that if he succeeds, this money would be enough for him to convert tens of thousands of spirit sands!

What Wu Sheng lacked was Lingsha. There was a large amount of Lingsha. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel moved. After thinking about it, he said, "Xiaomin has one condition."

Qingyu said, "Please tell me."

Wu Sheng said: "If Xiaomin gets this business by chance, when purchasing alchemy materials, the market can't deliberately raise the price."

Qingyu was startled, and suddenly smiled: "You are very confident? Don't worry!"

Wu Sheng bowed his head: "Don't dare to say anything about confidence, Xiaomin is willing to give it a try."

　Solemnly celebrate that the sow aphrodisiac expert was promoted to the leader on November 11rd, the sage Gaozhen, flashy and retreating, the spirit penetrates the alchemy, the cave is deep and subtle, the soul stays forever, and becomes a fairy, burns the three pillars of incense, and is the Tao You Feisheng sees you off!
