Chapter 75: A gentleman loves money and takes it in a proper way
After walking into the shop, Li Blacksmith asked directly without much delay: "What kind of long sword do you want to build? What needs do you have?"
"It's like this Uncle Li. I have made some breakthrough yesterday and my strength has increased..."
After Xu Changming told the story of breaking his ordinary long sword, Li Tiejiang nodded immediately and said, "I understand. Your current power of ordinary weapons can no longer bear it. You need a weapon with better materials."
After hearing Xu Changming's words, Li Blacksmith turned around and tinkered in the house for a while, and soon walked out with two pieces of ore.
"This is Qingyu Iron, this is Hunxuan Iron. These two types of iron ore are alien iron ore born from ordinary iron ore. If they forge a sword, Qingyu Iron can withstand 5,000 kilograms of power, and its weight is twice that of ordinary iron swords. Hunxuan Iron can withstand 10,000 kilograms of power, but Hunxuan Iron has one disadvantage, that is, its weight is five times that of Qingyu Iron, which is ten times that of ordinary long swords. It depends on which one you want to choose?"
Li Blacksmith placed two iron ores on the table and asked Xu Changming to choose by himself.
Thoughts flashed through Xu Changming's mind like electricity.
"My strength is growing every day. Although I am only in the third level of innate now, I will soon break through to the peak of the third level of innate, and then I will step into the Xuan Realm. The power of breaking through the one sect is eight thousand kilograms, and a single arm is four thousand kilograms. It won't take long to choose the long sword made by Qingyu Iron. In order to avoid it later, I still choose to choose the Mian Xuan Iron!"
With a decision in his heart, he immediately said, "Uncle Li, just use Hunxuan Iron."
Li Blacksmith said nothing about Xu Changming's choice. He neatly put away Qingyu Tie, leaving only the Mianxuan Tie on the table.
"I bought this piece of Hunxuan Iron from the caravan and spent 3,000 taels of silver. Now I'm going to be a sword and sell it to you. For He Yatou's sake, I won't make money and only charge you labor fees. There are a total of 3,100 taels of silver. I don't have to pay the deposit. You will come to get the sword in ten days."
When he heard that the monumental iron cost 3,000 taels of silver, although he was prepared, Xu Changming couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he heard this amount.
His body was only about 500 taels of silver. In the eyes of ordinary people, these silvers were a huge sum of money, enough for a family of three to lie down and eat for several years. As a result, they can't even afford a sword now.
"It turns out that I am poor in studying and rich in martial arts practice!"
Although he was short of money, fortunately he didn't have to pay the money immediately, so Xu Changming still agreed.
"Please trouble Uncle Li, I'll come here to get the sword in ten days."
His eyes looked at Li Blacksmith with a strange look. At this moment, Li Blacksmith's figure seemed to be covered with a layer of treasure light. He spent 3,000 taels of silver to buy a piece of iron ore. There is no doubt that Li Blacksmith is definitely a hidden "rich man" or a rich and rich person.
After setting the date for taking the sword with Li Blacksmith Li, Xu Changming and Miao Xiaohe left Anqi Blacksmith Store.
Walking on the road, Xu Changming was absent-mindedly thinking about how to raise the money.
"Three thousand one hundred taels of silver, I now have five hundred taels of silver notes and forty taels of broken silver. If I remove the spare broken silver, it means that there is still two thousand six hundred taels of silver. How should I raise such a large amount?"
The light of thinking flashed in his eyes, and soon Xu Changming chose the "grab" path after eliminating the three paths of "stolen and sell fraud".
As the saying goes, a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way.
Whether it was Heiliao Mountain Village or the Water Pirates, they all contributed a wave of silver to him. Although it didn't add up, it was indeed a shortcut to getting rich quickly.
And there will be no psychological burden to steal things from bandits.
He turned around and asked Miao Xiaohe, "Xiaohe, are there any bandits around Du'an County?"
"No." Miao Xiaohe shook her cute little head, directly breaking Xu Changming's idea.
"Brother Mo, what are you thinking? This is Du'an County City, one of the heavy cities guarded by heavy troops. What kind of bandits dare to fall into the grass next to Du'an County! Even if there are really some, they will be flattened by the county magistrate."
Speaking of this, Miao Xiaohe looked at Xu Changming suspiciously and asked, "Brother Mo, are you short of money and want to kill thieves and rob money? Don't do such a dangerous thing. If you have no money, you can tell me, I can give it to you if I have money."
Miao Xiaohe was smart and Xu Changming just said that, and she immediately guessed Xu Changming's plan.
While this made Xu Changming ashamed, he quickly said: "No, no, you are thinking too much..."
After all, he persuaded Miao Xiaohe to stop, but he returned to Qinghe Escort Agency. Looking at the 1,500 taels of silver notes in his hand and the stubborn girl with her lips pursed in front of him, Xu Changming felt that his heart was mixed, as if he had been hit by something, warm and rising...
Miao Xiaohe's face clearly stated that I cried if you don't want it. Xu Changming had no choice but to refuse the girl's kindness. He put the heavy silver notes in his hand into the mustard bracelet.
"Please keep these silver notes in the future." He sighed slightly in his heart.
In fact, he had a way to raise money, but no matter what he said, Miao Xiaohe just didn't believe it, just thought he would take the risk to kill the bandits, and he was stubborn and insisted on accepting the money.
Although he has accepted the money now, he will not use it. This silver note that represents the girl’s most sincere and passionate feelings must be preserved. As for raising money, he has his own way.
...
night
Thousands of starlight fell, and a black shadow flashed in the dark night.
Xu Changming came to the bank of the Tunyun River and sat on the back of the long-awaited Daqing.
When he sat firmly, Daqing immediately shot towards the distance like a sharp arrow.
"Although there are no bandits around Du'an County City, it does not mean there are no ones far away!"
Under the moonlight, Xu Changming's expressionless face was a little cold.
In the afternoon, he quietly inquired about the distribution of forces around Ma Feng.
The Qinghe Escort Agency did escort business and dealt with the "Green Forest Heroes" on the road for many years. Ma Feng naturally knew the distribution of bandits around him. He soon told Xu Changming some basic information about bandits, including bandit dens and the approximate strength.
Xu Changming, who received the news, is going to wipe out the bandits now, and he will take some money to help him while advancing the way for heaven.
Daqing is gifted and is as fast as a sharp arrow in the water, but it can not cause a lot of waves during the swimming process.
Sitting on Daqing's back, it was like he was driving a convertible sports car. Xu Changming faced the strong wind in front of him, with his black hair flying, looking extremely chic.
A giant creature suddenly passed by in the river.
Soon Xu Changming arrived at a place more than 50 kilometers downstream of the Tunyun River.
"Daqing, you're waiting for me here, I'll come when I go."
Xu Changming gave Daqing a command, then quickly jumped to the river bank, and after determining one direction, he ran away with his legs.
Under the night, a black shadow flashed by, and his figure disappeared from the spot.
