Chapter 358 Qianzhou City

Qianzhou is located in the northeast of the Central Plains, adjacent to the East China Sea, but is not within the sphere of influence of the East China Sea Dragon Palace.

This is not because Dragon Mother Ao Zhen despises this place. In fact, Qianzhou is located in the alluvial plain at the mouth of a large river. It has fertile land, convenient transportation, and one of the largest ports in the Central Plains. It is a truly prosperous place. Many years ago, the Dragon Palace had set its sights on this place and planned to occupy Qianzhou and use it as a base to gain control of the northern part of the East China Sea.

However, until today, Ao Zhen has not succeeded, because there is a person in Qianzhou who makes her wary, and a force that even the East Sea Dragon Palace has to give in.

The God of Wealth Yuan Guangjin and his Treasure Tower!

There are countless legends about this God of Wealth, and there are even many folk storytellings and operas adapted from his deeds. According to the legend, he is the God of Wealth who has the magical ability to turn gold ingots into gold ingots. He likes to disguise himself as a poor old man or a beggar on the roadside. If there are kind people who are willing to treat him well, he will leave gold and silver as a reward. For those mean and stingy people, he will use magical means to make them lose everything...

As for his date of birth, there are many different opinions, but what is certain is that at least three hundred years ago, this God of Wealth was already quite powerful. There are records about him and Jubao Tower in the official history of the previous dynasty.

In short, Yuan Guangjin is no longer just a martial arts master in the world of Wulin, but more like a symbol, a personification of wealth. As long as people still pursue wealth, there will be countless people worshipping him and following him, and the power of Jubaolou will grow stronger and stronger.

"It's worthy of being the territory of the God of Wealth. This place is much richer and more prosperous than Yunzhou!"

Walking on the streets of Qianzhou City, Luo Jun had a skewer of grilled squid in his left hand and a seafood pancake in his right hand. His mouth was full of oil, and his eyes were attracted by the businesses and buildings on both sides.

Thousands of miles away, the style here is completely different from the multi-ethnic Yunzhou City. There are at least four or five-story buildings on both sides of the street, the shop signs are exaggerated and eye-catching, the waiters shout at the door to attract customers, and the goods in the shops are dazzling. It is worthy of being the most developed commercial and economically prosperous region in Central Plains.

What’s more valuable is that because there is a port here, in addition to goods from the Central Plains, you can also see many rare items from overseas.

There are two main routes in the entire East China Sea. One leads to the Southeast Islands, where there are countless small countries, famous for various seafood, timber, gems and tropical fruits. This route starts from Dongzhou, but because of the occupation of the East China Sea Dragon Palace, the route does not run smoothly, and a large amount of wealth has been taken away by Ao Zhen.

As for the other route, it is to start from Qianzhou and go to Yingzhou in the northeast, Bailuo Peninsula, or even to the Rakshasa Kingdom further north for trade.

Although these places are not as rich and powerful as the Central Plains, they are at least stable countries with certain industrial capabilities. The goods they produce are also more exquisite and very popular among the people of the Central Plains. In addition, maintaining the route and trade is also beneficial to Jubaolou, so the God of Wealth and the court have cooperation in this regard. This route is very stable, and a large amount of goods are imported and exported, making this place the most prosperous region in the world of [Wulin].

It is strange that although both of them have close ties with the government, Tianmen is accused by many people of being a lackey of the court, but no one criticizes Jubaolou.

You say that Tianmen is small and easy to bully? Their leader is also a master of Yuhua, not someone to be trifled with. You say that Tianmen has lost the dignity of the martial arts world by kowtow to the imperial court? I have never heard of them kneeling down to the imperial court to pledge allegiance or anything like that. In fact, the imperial court has often shown respect for Tianmen.

In the final analysis, Luo Jun concluded that it was because everyone didn't understand Tianmen's purpose. As a master of Yuhua and a famous sect, why would they cooperate with the imperial court? This unknown uncertainty made all the martial artists instinctively worried.

On the other hand, Jubao Tower’s purpose is very clear: there is money to be made by cooperating with the imperial court!

This is pure gang, giving a reason that everyone can understand.

Again.

There is no shame in making money!
"Sir, you have good taste. This is a famous sword imported from Yingzhou! It is the legacy of the famous swordsmith Dingli. You can take it away for two hundred kan!"

Facing the shop owner's attentive smile, Luo Jun pulled out the knife, looked at the cold light flashing on it, and nodded: "It's a good knife! But the price is a bit expensive..."

When the shop owner heard that there was a chance, he hurriedly said, "Sir, just name a price, and we can make it happen if we can do it."

"I like straightforward people like you!" Luo Jun weighed the knife and said, "Well, let's make friends for two coins."

The boss' smile froze on his face, and the next moment, Luo Jun was kicked out of the store.

"Tsk, don't you know that the customer is God? What kind of business is this kind of service attitude?"

Luo Jun left the shop with an indignant look on his face, and continued walking forward, soon arriving at the most magnificent building in the center of the town. This was a seven-story building, made of deep green colored glaze and decorated with bright gems, with pillars that went straight to the sky and the gates open in all directions, like a palace standing in the city of Qianzhou, with a huge plaque in the middle with three large characters "Jubao Tower" written on it.

This is the headquarters of Jubao Tower. Luo Jun walked inside and no one stopped him.

On the first floor, there is a row of counters with iron bars, which are all staff of Jubaolou. The counters on the east side are mainly for exchanging silver and withdrawing bills, while the counters on the west side are mainly for pawning.

Judging from the many people queuing in the hall, the business of Jubaolou is pretty good.

He found the shopkeeper on duty and asked where he should go to pick up the things he had deposited in advance.

"Sir, is what you have stored a treasure?"

Luo Jun was stunned: "It can be considered a treasure, right?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Sir, you didn't deposit it yourself, did you? Are you here to pick it up for someone else?"

Luo Jun could only nod his head honestly: "What's the difference? Do I have to do it myself?"

"That's not necessary." The shopkeeper smiled and said, "We do have a treasure storage business in Jubaolou, but for ordinary treasures, you can go to the pawn counter to handle it. If it is lost or damaged, we will compensate according to the agreed valuation. But if it is a priceless treasure, and the client pays enough storage fees, we will store it in Zhibao Pavilion, which is the most secure place in the world, and will definitely not let your treasure have any problems."

"But there are only 9,999 slots in the treasure house, so each treasure has a number, and both depositing and withdrawing requires credentials and passwords."

"That's why I asked you if what you want to take is the treasure."

Luo Jun nodded after hearing this, remembering that the message left by Gong Shiyue had a four-digit number, so it must be in the Treasure Pavilion.

"I have another question. You said that if we deposit it in the Treasure Pavilion, there will be no problems... but what if something goes wrong? How will you compensate me?"

Since it is a priceless treasure, its value must be inestimable, and the person who holds it is definitely not an ordinary person. If something goes wrong with it, it will be a big problem.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "I have sworn on the reputation of Jubaolou for hundreds of years that there will be no problems. Since the establishment of Jubaolou, nothing has ever been lost or damaged in the Zhibao Pavilion. This is the confidence of Jubaolou!"

It turns out there is no precedent. It seems that this shopkeeper doesn’t know what to do if something goes wrong…

"Then what I have stored is indeed a treasure." Luo Jun said, "Where can I get it?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Well, sir, please show us your credentials."

"Credentials?" Luo Jun was stunned. "What credentials? Isn't it okay if I know the number and password?"

"The number and password are also required, but to start the treasure-collecting procedure, you must first show your credentials and have them verified."

"What is the voucher?" Luo Jun asked curiously, "Bill?"

"I don't know that either." The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "The credentials for each treasure are different, but as long as you take them out, we can verify them."

"To take treasures from the Treasure House, we don't look at people, we only look at the credentials and passwords. As long as you bring the credentials, find the right grid, and enter the right password, you can take the treasure away. Otherwise, even if you are the king of heaven, you can't take anything away from here."
