At the beginning of the three thousand Taoist scriptures, I became a saint

Chapter 5 Pearl
After the banquet dispersed, Jiang Chen bid farewell to everyone one by one, then went to the side hall next door with Wan Kui, and started talking about business.

The side hall is not big, with a table in the middle. On the table is a pot of hot tea that has just been prepared, still steaming.

Wan Kui came to the table, first poured Jiang Chen a cup of hot tea, and then said: "Mr. Jiang, the things you want are ready, and the people below will deliver them right away."

Picking up the hot tea that Wan Kui handed over, Jiang Chen took a sip, and said with a smile: "I would also like to thank shopkeeper Wan. What I want is hard to find. It's really hard for shopkeeper Wan to find it."

Wan Kui smiled, and said proudly: "No trouble, for others, it is hard to find what the young master wants, but my Wanbao Pavilion covers most of Dongzhou, so it is not easy to find what the young master wants." , it just takes a little time."

The world Jiang Chen lives in is called Xuanhuang Realm, which consists of five continents and four seas.Wuzhou is named after five directions, namely Dongzhou, Xizhou, Beizhou, Nanzhou and Zhongzhou.

The East Continent is very large, with a boundless territory, more than hundreds of millions of miles in length and breadth, and countless caves and blessed places.

The Jing country that Jiang Chen is currently in, and the destroyed Qi country are just insignificant points in the huge East Continent.

And Wanbao Pavilion's sphere of influence actually spread over half of Dongzhou, and the power behind it can be imagined.

Probably not the top power in Dongzhou, but also the first-class power in Dongzhou, not something that the little Jingguo can provoke.

It's no wonder that Wanbao Pavilion has been open in Jingguo for so many years, but no one dares to make trouble. The energy behind it is really terrifying.

He has been cooperating with Wanbao Pavilion for many years, and Jiang Chen has also speculated about the forces behind it, which should be related to immortals, so he was not surprised by Wan Kui's words, nor was he frightened by the forces behind Wanbao Pavilion.

Although Wanbao Pavilion is strong, it is obviously not as good as Xianmen. Otherwise, Wan Kui would not deliberately make friends with him.

The influence of Xianmen is far more terrifying than Jiang Chen imagined. If his physical problems hadn't been resolved, he really couldn't wait to go to Xianmen to have a look.

Not long after, a maid came in from outside the house holding a jade box.

Taking the jade box from the maid, Wan Kui opened the lid, pushed it in front of Jiang Chen, and said, "My lord, what you asked for has arrived, check to see if you are satisfied."

Inside the jade box was a crystal jade bead, round and smooth, shining golden and silver under the sunlight.If you look closely, you can even see the miniature of the sun and the moon from inside the jade beads.

The sun and the moon are bright, and the name of this jade bead is Mingzhu. It is born from the essence of the sun and the moon, and contains a ray of innate yin and yang energy, which can temper the body and cleanse the soul. Whether it is for monks or warriors, it is extremely valuable precious.

A bright pearl is often worth thousands of gold, even more precious than a thousand-year-old ginseng, and once it appears, it will attract the world's looting, basically it has a price but no market.

If it weren't for the influence of Wanbao Pavilion covering most of Dongzhou, Jiang Chen would not be able to buy treasures like Mingzhu even if he had money.

Looking down, Jiang Chen found that the luster emanating from this pearl was even brighter and more eye-catching than the few pearls he had bought before.

Obviously, the quality of this pearl is better.

Nodding in satisfaction, Jiang Chen closed the jade box again, looked up at Wan Kui and said, "Thank you, shopkeeper Wan, I like this pearl very much, and the money for buying this item is still the same as before, counted in my dividend .”

Jiang Chen is not short of money, let alone how much money the court has rewarded him, even in these years he has made a lot of money by cooperating with Wanbao Pavilion.

Dongzhou is big, Jingguo is small, and Linjiang County is even smaller.

Jiang Chen lived in a corner, but the new rice seed he researched was able to go out of Jingguo and spread among other countries, and it was likely to spread across Dongzhou, relying on the channel of Wanbaoge.

In other words, Jiang Chen is in charge of research and development, and Wanbao Pavilion is in charge of promotion.

I don't know why, Wanbaoge seems to be very caring about the promotion of new rice varieties, even more caring than Jiang Chen. Not only did he take care of everything, but he also promised Jiang Chen huge benefits .

It is all thanks to Wanbao Pavilion that Jiang Chen can become one of the largest households in Linjiang County today.

According to Jiang Chen's speculation, the reason why Wanbao Pavilion is so caring should be related to merit.

The research of a new type of rice seed can save all living beings from the suffering of hunger, and there is merit to be gained.The promotion of new rice varieties will naturally have merit.

Wanbao Pavilion cannot take away the merits of the founder, but they can plan one or two for the merits of promotion.Therefore, Wanbao Pavilion chose to cooperate with Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen had long been envious of Wanbaoge's channels, seeing that they took the initiative to seek cooperation, he didn't make things too difficult, and after feeling their sincerity, he agreed directly.

Without the channel of Wanbao Pavilion, if Jiang Chen wanted to spread the new rice seeds by himself, he might not be able to do it in his whole life.

……

Seeing that Jiang Chen was satisfied, Wan Kui smiled, and said in a very grand manner: "Master, you are joking, what money is not, it is just a pearl, compared with the benefits that you have brought us to Wanbao Pavilion, it is not worth anything at all. carry."

"Let's not talk about money, this pearl is a gift from my Wanbao Pavilion to the young master."

Indeed, the benefits that Jiang Chen brought to Wanbao Pavilion cannot be measured by common things like gold and silver.If it wasn't for Jiang Chen not being a monk, then what Wan Kui gave at this moment was not a pearl, but a more precious treasure.

Seeing that Jiang Chen wanted to refuse, before he could open his mouth, Wan Kui said hastily: "My lord, don't refuse in a hurry, and listen to me first, this is the meaning of the above, you can't let us down here Make it difficult."

Wan Kui said so, Jiang Chen couldn't refuse anymore, so he could only say: "Then I will be disrespectful."

After putting away the pearl, Jiang Chen obviously had no intention of continuing to stay, so he found a reason, took his leave and left.

Wan Kui didn't stop him either, and sent Jiang Chen outside the building all the way, watching him get in the carriage and leave.

……

…………

It's night, three o'clock.

The servants of Jiang's mansion had already fallen asleep, but Jiang Chen's study room was still brightly lit.

Anyone who is familiar with Jiang Chen knows that he has the habit of reading at night with the lamp on.

No way, he squatted in the field during the day and had no time to read at all, so he took advantage of the time when everyone was resting at night to find some time to read.

Going to the fields during the day and studying at night, Jiang Chen's hard work is famous far and wide, and many people use him as an example to educate their children.

A person as capable as Jiang Chen insists on studying every night. You are not as capable as him, why don't you work hard?

When it was four o'clock, the night was getting darker, Jiang Chen who was reading suddenly put down the book, reached out and fiddled with it on the desk.

Immediately, a layer of curtains hung down on the surrounding windows, covering the lights and isolating the study from the outside world.
