Chapter 124 The most stunning beauty in immortality, Shui Yunyan
Li Yanlong, Minister of Industry, looked at the drawings in his hands.
He did not answer immediately, but carefully looked at it, reading every detail several times.
After a while, Li Yanlong's eyes showed a bright light.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
"This thing is really a sacred item from Litian."
Li Yanlong held the drawing tightly and said with great excitement.
He was the minister of the Ministry of Industry. He knew the function of this kind of drawing just by looking at it, so he was naturally extremely excited.
The overall image of the waterwheel even appeared in his mind.
"Can this thing be created?"
However, the cold voice of the empress sounded, and the Minister of Industry and Commerce suddenly came back to his senses. For a moment, the Minister of Industry and Commerce said in a panic.
"Your Majesty, this thing can be made."
Li Yanlong answered directly.
"How much silver do I need?"
The empress is quite straightforward.
"Five hundred taels of silver can be used to build this thing, but it can only be extended for ten miles. The most troublesome and critical thing about this thing is the extension. Each mile requires fifty taels of silver."
The Minister of Industry and Industry responded this way, but this is only an approximate figure, and the specific number depends on the actual situation.
"What if we use high-quality iron stone and vine wood?"
The empress asked again, and Li Yanlong's expression changed slightly.
"Your Majesty, if you use high-quality iron stone, it is estimated that the cost will be extremely expensive, at least five times more, and at least."
Li Yanlong knew these two materials, so he told the price.
"Five times?"
The empress was silent.
In other words, 2,500 taels of silver is needed to extend the area by ten miles. If you want to extend it by another mile, you need 250 taels of silver. Normally in a relatively poor place, the water sources are about thirty or forty miles apart.
Including the cost of creation, it is close to more than 7,000 taels to provide a village with water. Even this is just a conservative estimate, after all, labor has not been taken into account.
If we really want to implement it, we will need 10,000 taels per rural area.
In the Wei Dynasty, ten townships constituted one county, ten counties constituted one prefecture, and ten prefectures constituted one county. They were divided into two areas, Guangdong and Four Lakes, with forty-nine counties in one Guangxi and thirty-six counties in Four Lakes. The total number was 240
Second County.
To sum it up, there are 242,000 towns and villages in need of waterwheels. This does not include county capitals, prefectural capitals, and county capitals. Therefore, if we really want to use the highest standard, we will need 240,000 taels of silver.
The treasury cannot bear it at all.
After pondering for a while, the empress spoke.
"The Ministry of Industry will conduct an on-site inspection and give priority to poor people with water sources in Chidi. The fifty poorest counties will be selected first. However, waterwheels must be built within Nanguang. The length must be measured and controlled within thirty miles, and the final report will be unified."
"Li Yanlong, I will give you a budget of 50,000 taels of silver. Try to save labor costs as much as possible. We can encourage the people to contribute to building waterwheels. We can save all costs, but materials cannot be saved."
The empress made a decision. Fifty million taels would definitely not be enough, but this was the budget. According to the cost, Fifty Counties would need almost fifty million taels of silver, of which it was considered part of the labor cost.
As for the need for so many goods, I would like to come to the Ministry of Industry to negotiate the price. It is impossible to do it according to the market price. Naturally, it is the lowest price, so that merchants can make money, but not too much. After all, this is something that benefits the country.
The empress originally thought about using cheaper materials, but after thinking about it, she rejected it.
There is no other reason. If this kind of thing is made of low-quality wood, it will be more troublesome to repair it. It is better to just use the best material, once and for all, it will be a pain.
The worst case scenario is to let some people increase their grain production first, and then slowly make changes after the harvest is good next year.
All said and done, it's still a little, and the money is not enough.
It would be great if the national treasury had hundreds of millions of taels of silver.
"Fifty million taels? Your Majesty? Are you serious?"
The empress spoke casually, which shocked Li Yanlong. He knew that this thing was worth a lot of money, but he didn't expect that the empress would allocate fifty million taels when she opened her mouth. This is an astronomical figure. Now the treasury is indeed rich, but it is not
Just take out 50,000 taels casually, right?
"Do you think I'm joking again?"
The empress' voice was slightly cold, but Li Yanlong immediately lowered his head and said.
"Your Majesty, I naturally do not dare to doubt Your Majesty, but I would like to ask, if we really allocate 50,000 taels, how will Gu Yan, the Minister of Household Affairs, explain it?"
He asked aloud, he must ask clearly about this matter. If the explanation is not clear, according to Huang Yan's temperament, he would really dare to chop himself with a knife, and later say that he had deceived His Majesty, so he could not take the blame.
He will gladly accept the five million tael allocation, and he will definitely not mess around with the fifty million tael.
Gu Yan is a miser. It's okay to talk to him about anything, but you can't talk about money. He won't be able to bear it if something happens.
"I will discuss this matter with the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. You don't have to worry about it. Just settle it. This is my treasury order. If you need silver, just come to Wan'er directly."
The empress spoke and mentioned Gu Yan, but she didn't know what to say.
After all, Gu Yan is extremely obsessed with silver taels. If he were really asked to come up with 50,000 taels, he would never do it. Fortunately, the emperor had a veto power and could override him to handle this matter.
But if Gu Yan knew that the fifty million taels were gone, it would probably be a troublesome thing.
But there is no other way. In the current situation, I have to do this.
"Your Majesty is wise."
Li Yanlong had nothing to say. Anyway, since His Majesty meant it, he could just do it.
"Well, go back. Remember, don't mention this matter to anyone, otherwise it will be considered a serious crime."
"Especially Gu Yan, don't talk to him about this yet."
The empress gave a special warning and then asked Li Yanlong to resign.
The latter nodded. It was the Empress who made the final decision for Wei. It was the Empress who had the final say whether to spend money or not. He understood in his heart, so he turned around and left.
After Li Yanlong left, the empress also slowly spoke.
"I'm tired, let's take a rest."
After saying this, Zhao Waner understood what it meant and immediately stood up to leave.
After Zhao Waner left, the empress got up from the dragon chair, came to the dragon throne, and lay down directly.
My mind was filled with those four words Xu Qingxiao.
【Unless I marry you】
"well."
The empress let out a long sigh. She knew that she must speak clearly about this matter, but it was not appropriate at the moment.
"When the time comes, I will find a few beauties for him who are not weaker than me, and let him give up this thought."
"However, if you want to find someone as stunning as me, I'm afraid it's hard to find in this world."
"Uh, no, there seems to be someone from the Tiandao Department. He seems to be in the Sutra Pavilion. He can let Xu Aiqing take a look. Forget it, forget it, let's see it then."
The empress thought in her heart. She didn't know what to do. She rejected Xu Qingxiao directly, for fear of hurting Xu Qingxiao's heart. But if she didn't refuse, she would have to explain clearly sooner or later. At that time, she would be afraid that Xu Qingxiao would love her so much that she would go crazy.
It's not good if you have obsessions.
It would be better to choose a few stunning women for Xu Qingxiao and let him stop thinking about them.
And at the same time.
Compared to the Empress' melancholy, Xu Qingxiao is pretty good.
Inside Shouren Academy.
Xu Qingxiao was making tea and thinking about something at the same time.
Find a bookstore.
Yes, Xu Qingxiao wants to find a bookstore to read books. The first is to investigate the identity of the middle-aged man, the second is to study the magic, the third is to look up the materials that the ancient Danshen Sutra asked him to search, and the fourth is to
Add some knowledge.
As the old saying goes, it is always good to live and learn, to examine myself three times every day, and to read more.
However, there are only two places in the capital of the Wei Dynasty that have countless books, and the rest of them combined are not as good as one of the two.
One is the Great Wei Sutra Pavilion in the Great Wei Palace, and the other is the Library in the Great Wei Wen Palace.
There are countless books in these two places, and there are enough books for me to read for three to five years.
It's just that you can't enter the palace casually, and it's even harder to enter the Wen Palace of Wei Dynasty.
Awkward.
Xu Qingxiao was a little troubled.
At this moment, Chen Xinghe's figure appeared not far away, holding a pile of books and walking inward with some difficulty.
Yang Hu saw it and immediately went to help.
"Master Chen, why did you bring so many books back?"
Yang Hu asked curiously, holding dozens of books.
"Students like us naturally have to read books, otherwise how can we make progress?"
Chen Xinghe spoke. After Xu Qingxiao entered the palace, he left the school and went to rent some books.
"Senior brother, where is brother Wang Ru?"
Xu Qingxiao asked.
"Wang Ru? His friend is looking for him. Don't mention it. Qingxiao, there will be a poetry meeting soon. Why don't you read a book and get ready?"
Chen Xinghe came over, took a sip of tea, and asked Xu Qingxiao.
"No, I won't prepare anything. I don't have the time to think about it now."
Xu Qingxiao shook her head. He couldn't think about the poetry show or not. He didn't like to pretend, he could just participate in a formality.
"Junior brother, please don't be humble."
"It is said that invitations to enter this poetry festival are hard to come by, and most of them are directed at you."
"If you don't write two poems, I probably won't agree."
Chen Xinghe said this, but even though he said this, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
He could accept that Xu Qingxiao was talented, but it would be bad if her talent was too much.
"Don't do it."
"I don't even want to participate this time."
"I'm not interested. Besides, I don't want to compose poetry anymore. It's better to be more low-key."
Xu Qingxiao said seriously that he had no feelings at all about this poetry meeting and was determined not to compose poetry.
Mainly because it's too high-profile. It's time to keep a low profile. Otherwise, how can people live?
"Junior brother, are you serious?"
After Chen Xinghe heard this, his mind suddenly became active.
He has been studying the Book of Songs these days, but he always feels uncomfortable halfway through the study. After all, Xu Qingxiao is here, and he really doesn't know how to compete.
Fortunately, Xu Qingxiao is his junior brother, so there is no such thing as jealousy.
However, now that Xu Qingxiao has sworn that she can't compose poetry, Chen Xinghe is excited. If Xu Qingxiao doesn't compose poetry, he can still show his face.
"No, unless I have to do it, otherwise I won't come even if His Majesty asks me to come."
Xu Qingxiao replied.
"Junior brother, you have matured."
Chen Xinghe said seriously.
Xu Qingxiao: "."
"Okay, senior brother, I won't delay you anymore. You can have a good rest. Senior brother, go read a book. If you have nothing else to do, I will discuss the Book of Songs with you."
Chen Xinghe smiled, feeling a little happy.
Xu Qingxiao nodded, and after Chen Xinghe left, Xu Qingxiao sat here alone in a daze.
After a while, Yang Hu's voice sounded.
"Master Xu, why do I feel that you are a little distraught when you come back from the palace?"
"What's going on? Who is causing trouble for you? Do you want me to give him a beating?"
Yang Hu asked with concern.
"Okay, I'm very happy that you have this intention."
"Prince Huaining makes me very unhappy. You go ahead and I'll ask Yang Bao to prepare a coffin for you. What kind of wood do you want? We can't afford mahogany, so pick a better one."
Xu Qingxiao joked.
Yang Hu: "."
Seeing Yang Hu's silence, Xu Qingxiao smiled slightly.
"Okay, I'm just teasing you. I have nothing to do. I just want to read a book. The books at home are all torn, and the books in the bookstores outside are not very good either."
"well."
Xu Qingxiao sighed and expressed her troubles.
"Oh, I don't understand about reading. Sir, please think about it slowly. I'll go for a walk outside and listen to some news."
Yang Hu left wisely, and Xu Qingxiao was the only one left sitting here in the school.
There are no classes in school today. If there were classes, I could still bully those naughty kids. Unfortunately, it's a bit boring.
But I can’t go to work. If I can’t help but want to quarrel with someone or want to do something, wouldn’t I be putting myself in danger?
so boring.
Xu Qingxiao finally got up and went to her room to sleep.
However, what he said was clearly heard by Li Guangxiao in the kitchen.
"read?"
Li Guangxiao secretly took out a piece of heavenly edict, wrote a line of words on it, threw it into the stove, and started cooking.
And inside the room.
Xu Qingxiao was lying on the bed. He had reached the eighth level of martial arts and basically did not need sleep. He could not fall asleep even after tossing and turning. Out of boredom, Xu Qingxiao waved his hand, and Haoran's righteousness condensed into the Book of Words.
When casting this object, Xu Qingxiao did it according to Heaven's decree, but Xu Qingxiao didn't know whether the specific effect was the same as Heaven's decree.
Gotta study it.
Holding the Book of Words, Xu Qingxiao slowly sensed it, and soon the effect of the Book of Words came to mind.
There is indeed a divine effect, but if you want to communicate with the other party, you need a strand of hair or a drop of blood from the other party, then you can communicate with the other party.
If not, it can only randomly appear in front of someone within a hundred miles.
Perhaps because he was too bored, or perhaps because he had nothing to do, Xu Qingxiao wanted to test the function of the Book of Words.
Therefore, Xu Qingxiao, with great righteousness, condensed the book of words and plans to give it a try.
But soon, Xu Qingxiao became a little curious.
After writing the words on the book of words, it will appear in a person's hand randomly.
So, what is better to write yourself?
After thinking about it, Xu Qingxiao slowly started writing.
【Are you there】
After writing these two words, Xu Qingxiao nodded. This question was quite satisfactory and would not cause any trouble.
Classic opening statement.
After confirming it, Xu Qingxiao took out the page, then shook it slightly, and it immediately turned into smoke and dissipated. There was no need for fire, and a project was saved.
It was at this time.
The Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of the Great Wei Dynasty.
The majestic Sutra Pavilion, which looks like a pagoda, has nine floors in total and covers an area of 600 acres. It contains hundreds of thousands of books, all of which are worldly treasures. Basically all the books of the Wei Dynasty are hidden in it.
The Sutra Pavilion only allows the royal family to enter, or some important figures, even the six ministers who want to borrow a certain book, cannot enter. Your Majesty needs to speak, and the eunuch in the Sutra Pavilion takes it out and gives it to the other party.
This shows the importance of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
at this time.
The second floor of the Sutra Pavilion.
The extremely luxurious Sutra Pavilion is filled with various precious porcelains, and luminous pearls are embedded in the walls, emitting light, regardless of whether it is daytime outside, it will not affect it.
In the Sutra Pavilion, dozens of maids and eunuchs stood on both sides, looking respectful, because there was a great man standing not far away.
The envoy of the Tiandaosi of the Great Wei Dynasty.
The Holy Lady of the Supreme Holy Sect,
Water clouds and smoke.
Not far away, a flawless white figure stood quietly, with a breathtakingly beautiful face, too exquisite to be picky, and an even more exquisite figure. She was dressed in long light blue hair, and every strand exuded fairy aura.
That otherworldly aura, as if nothing in the world was worthy of her, and her eyes contained endless fairy energy.
Shui Yunyan's every move made even these women unable to help but look away. She was holy and full of coldness and arrogance.
Her hair is tied up with white jade and green hairpins. The breeze blows and messes up the strands of hair, but there is an indescribable beauty.
She stood still, as if everything had quieted down.
Everything seems to be less important, like a peerless woman coming out of a scroll, or like a woman coming down from the fairy world, so beautiful that one can only dare to look up at her.
This is Shui Yunyan, a saint from the Taishang Holy Sect. She is extremely profound and has a very high status. She is also one of the top dignitaries in the Wei Dynasty. Almost no one dares to offend her.
It is said that he is only eighteen years old now, but he has already entered the fourth level of immortality, which is really terrifying.
Such a woman is full of mystery, and also extremely cold. For example, the empress is the kind of aloof and cold, but Shui Yunyan is the kind of cold and unearthly person.
It is said that she never spoke more than ten sentences to anyone in her life, so she was so cold and charming.
It was at this time.
Shui Yunyan slowly put a book back into its place. The name of the book was Saint's Daily Life.
After putting down the book, Shui Yunyan began to think deeply.
She frowned slightly, as if she was looking for something else.
However, at this moment, a piece of white paper condensed with Haoran's righteousness slowly appeared in front of her.
"Can Haoran's righteousness also convey messages?"
Shui Yunyan's first reaction was surprise. She was not surprised by this method of transmitting messages because she could do it. What was surprising was that Haoran Zhengqi could also transmit messages?
Isn’t this impossible? Confucianism and Taoism don’t seem to have this ability, right?
Shui Yunyan's eyes showed curiosity, and then she looked at the words on the white paper.
【Are you there】
The font is neat and neat, not excellent, but not bad either, and it contains a lot of righteousness, which cannot be written by ordinary people.
But Shui Yunyan's eyes became more and more curious, and she didn't understand what this object was.
Furthermore, why does this thing appear in front of me?
"Is anyone watching me secretly again?"
"No matter who he is, he can write words with awe-inspiring righteousness, he must be one of the best, so he should not be neglected."
Shui Yunyan had many conjectures in her mind.
After thinking for a long time, Shui Yunyan finally raised his hand, pinched it with his green fingers, and suddenly a light blue thin pen appeared, looking delicate and elegant.
She slowly wrote on the white paper.
[The junior has met the senior, but I don’t know what the senior has to do]
After finishing writing, Shui Yunyan waved his hand, and the white paper turned into white smoke and dissipated.
next moment.
In Shouren School.
Xu Qingxiao was lying on the bed, looking bored.
But suddenly, wisps of white smoke floated in. This kind of white smoke cannot be seen with the naked eye. Only Xu Qingxiao can see it, or can see it for a while when it dissipates. Of course, the specific direction of the smoke cannot be seen.
The white smoke condensed again and appeared in Xu Qingxiao's eyes.
[The junior has met the senior, but I don’t know what the senior has to do]
The font is beautiful, neat and beautiful. Just from the handwriting, Xu Qingxiao can be sure that this is a woman.
I didn’t expect to meet a girl for the first time? I’m really lucky.
To be honest, Xu Qingxiao was already prepared to meet a man who picked his feet.
And judging from what the other party wrote, it seems that he regards himself as a big shot.
Thinking about it, it's true that even an ordinary person can't do this kind of method.
However, Xu Qingxiao could tell that this person was a bit naive.
Otherwise, such a reply would not be given. Such simple women are rare now.
Well, I have to teach her a lesson, let her know the cruelty of society, so that she will not be deceived by others in the future.
Therefore, Xu Qingxiao wrote the words quickly.
[I was born in the dark age, and now I have just recovered, but I found that my body has declined. I now need five materials to stabilize my cultivation. Otherwise, I will definitely die. I hope that my little friend will come to rescue me. I will send it to you when I recover.
You are a great blessing]
Xu Qingxiao quickly wrote, "I am idle anyway, so I might as well pass the time and teach this ignorant girl a lesson."
To avoid being cheated.
Soon, the white paper turned into smoke and dispersed again.
Inside the Sutra Pavilion.
When Shui Yunyan was about to pick up another book to read, the white paper appeared in front of him again.
After reading the new content, Shui Yunyan suddenly showed a look of surprise, and then worry and some nervousness appeared in his eyes.
"I didn't expect that this senior's background would be so terrifying, and he would also suffer such injuries."
"Master taught me that there are some Confucian and Taoist people who are in the darkness and protect the human race. It seems that this senior is such a existence. As a human race, I must not die without saving."
Shui Yunyan thought of this and quickly wrote a reply.
[Senior, what materials do you need? Junior may be able to find them for you]
Shui Yunyan replied like this.
However, the reason why she is like this is not because the other person has a high level, so she is slightly flattering. In fact, she is kind-hearted and warm-hearted, but she just doesn't like to deal with others.
I have a disease, and it is a very strange disease. When there are many people, I feel inexplicably uncomfortable. If I chat with people I don’t know, I feel even more nervous and uncomfortable. Sometimes if I say a few words more, I will be so nervous that I faint.
Only my master knows about this problem, but there is no problem in writing and chatting, as long as I don't speak, especially if there are not too many people.
The eunuchs and maidservants of the palace stood far away and were not allowed to get close to him, otherwise they would feel uncomfortable.
So seeing the other party acting like this, Shui Yunyan always felt that the other party was hinting at something, a request for help, but it was difficult to say it directly.
Soon, the white paper disappeared.
Shouren School.
Xu Qingxiao was a little surprised when she received Shui Yunyan's letter again.
"I didn't expect this girl to be so innocent?"
Xu Qingxiao thought that the other party would call her crazy, but she didn't expect that he actually believed it.
And he is also willing to find materials for himself.
Ah, this.
For a moment, Xu Qingxiao didn't know what to say.
But then I thought about it, the person who could receive his Heavenly Book of Words might have a good background.
And after learning her identity, she still didn't feel any nervousness or excitement. It can be seen from the strokes of the font that this woman is not only simple, but also has a good heart.
Suddenly, Xu Qingxiao had an idea.
Didn't the Alchemy God ask him to find the materials? Although I don't know if these materials are difficult to find, but if there is a person with a strong background to help me, it may be easier.
After all, there are not many people these days who are simple and may have some background.
Just think of it as forming a good relationship, and when you become stronger in the future, you can help her again, which can be regarded as helping each other.
Well, yes!
Thinking of this, Xu Qingxiao quickly replied.
[Thank you, little friend. I need a pound of Heavenly Meteor Gold, a sixth-grade spiritual wood heart, a pound of ten thousand-year purple chalcedony, a flower of Burning Valley Spirit Flame, and a pound of Yinming Sand. I can help you, if you can find it.
I will definitely thank you very much!]
Xu Qingxiao directly threw out the prescription for the Breaking Realm Pill. He was not afraid of being noticed. After all, only the Alchemy God could refine this thing.
Of course, the other party is also very likely to fish again.
It's just that Xu Qingxiao has nothing to be afraid of. The other party doesn't know him anyway. If he really fishes, he will be embarrassed at worst, but if the other party can really help him, it will be an unexpected surprise.
As the Book of Words and Heavens turned into clouds and smoke again.
Inside the Sutra Collection Pavilion of the Wen Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty.
Shui Yunyan looked at the new content quietly, and then couldn't help but frown slightly.
She frowned in thought, then nodded quickly, muttering to herself.
"Purple chalcedony, spirit wood heart, and heavenly meteorite gold, these three things seem to be there, but the remaining two are gone."
Thinking of this, Shui Yunyan quickly wrote down words on the white paper.
Not long after, Xu Qingxiao received a reply again in Shouren Academy.
[Senior, of these five things, I have purple chalcedony, my sect of Lingmuxin also has it, and I can find a way to get a kilogram of Tianwai Meteor Gold. As for the other two, I need to look for them carefully. Can you persist, senior?
】
The other party's reply appears.
It made Xu Qingxiao feel a little happy.
There is a charm in the other party's font, so I shouldn't be making fun of myself.
She is pure. At first glance, she looks like the kind of little girl who has never experienced anything. Otherwise, she would be so easily fooled.
Thinking of this, Xu Qingxiao was no longer polite.
[Thank you very much, girl. If I get out of trouble, I will repay you a hundred times.]
Soon, the reply came again.
[Senior, you are polite. You and I are both human beings and we should help each other. Furthermore, our seniors are also trapped in the darkness for the human race. What we juniors do is also our obligation. But if we find these materials, how can we give them to our seniors? 】
the other party asked.
Seeing this answer, Xu Qingxiao frowned a little.
He really couldn't decide whether the other party was fishing again or was serious about it.
After all, it feels like you are tricking your own address.
If it was fishing, it would be troublesome. If you turn around and bring people to Shouren Academy to cause trouble, you will die on the spot.
If it is true, it will be very troublesome if you can't tell it yourself or give a false address.
After thinking about it, Xu Qingxiao came up with an idea.
[I am temporarily trapped in the darkness, but my disciple is able to contact me. My disciple is amazingly talented. I heard that the Taiping Poetry Festival will be held in a few days. My disciple will go to the banquet of poetry. When the time comes,
I just need to find the best person in the poetry club, that is my disciple]
[I will also explain to my disciple. In this way, I will give you a code. Then you only need to say odd or even, and if anyone replies to you with the symbol "Look at the quadrant," that person is my disciple.]
[My dear friend, thank you very much. I won’t say any more for now. When I regain my strength, I will pass on what I have learned to my dear friend in order to repay his kindness]
Xu Qingxiao wrote three lines in one breath, then waved her hand and stopped contacting her.
Anyway, that’s it, no matter what the other person means.
You must ensure your own safety.
Well, stability comes first.
After doing all this, Xu Qingxiao didn't think much and went straight to rest.
As for the Taiping Poetry Society? For things like slogans.
Xu Qingxiao was not afraid. She looked back and saw who it was. If she saw that he was the kind of person who wanted to cause trouble for her, she would just ignore him.
If you really find a treasure, you can only shamelessly take advantage of it.
Of course it's not for nothing, it's paid for.
To take a step back, if the other party notices something and wants to report it to the official.
Then Xu Qingxiao is not afraid either.
After all, this is Dawei. Miss, you have to talk about evidence. What evidence do you have to prove that I lied to you!
What? You want to report to the official? Wait a minute, wait until I put on my official uniform, come on, tell me, what happened to you?
All in all, Xu Qingxiao was able to move forward and retreat freely, and really didn't have anything to worry about.
If so, consider it a surprise.
No, it's a reasonable thing, and I don't have any high expectations.
At this moment, inside the Sutra Collection Pavilion of the Great Wei Dynasty.
When Shui Yunyan saw the new reply, her eyes were full of confidence.
"Senior, don't worry, I will definitely help you get these five materials."
"But I'm afraid I won't be able to find your disciple."
"Odd changes to even, unchanged, symbols look at the quadrants?"
Shui Yunyan has completely believed that Xu Qingxiao is a great figure in Confucianism and Taoism, and at least a semi-saint, so she is extremely excited and hopes that she can rescue a saint. In this way, she can be regarded as a blessing to the people of the world.
As for these materials, she will definitely collect them carefully before giving them to her apprentice.
The only thing I'm worried about right now is that I can't find who it is, but it doesn't matter. At least I know that this senior's apprentice will participate in the Taiping Poetry Festival next month, and the saint's apprentice is definitely extraordinary and can take the top spot.
He must be the disciple of this saint.
Thinking of this, Shui Yunyan immediately walked towards the Sutra Pavilion. She wanted to look up some information about the five materials just now, and quickly collected them for this senior before the poetry meeting started.
To avoid letting the seniors suffer from hatred, this would be a misfortune for the world.
No one will believe that Shui Yunyan, who is known as the most cold and charming fairy in the immortal world, actually hides a warm heart from the ancient world.
And the next day.
In the palace, another decree came.
"Your Majesty has decreed that Xu Qingxiao, the Minister of Hubu, who is nearly 20 years old, holds the position of Minister of Hubu. He may be under pressure, so he has given him a Sutra Pavilion Order, ordering Xu Qingxiao, the Minister of Hubu, to often go to the Sutra Pavilion in the palace and study quietly.
, increase your experience so as not to do radical things again, I appreciate this.”
Xu Qingxiao was a little surprised when the empress's decree sounded.
This is really the pillow that comes when you want to sleep.
What I didn't think about yesterday was how to get into the palace to read, but I didn't expect that the empress would take the initiative to let me go to the Sutra Pavilion to read, and also gave me a Sutra Pavilion Token to allow me to freely enter the Sutra Pavilion?
I didn’t expect that there is such a good thing in this world?
But when I think about it carefully, it seems normal. After all, I became the Minister of Household Affairs at a young age. I am a fourth-rank official at the age of 20. I don’t have much history in the entire Wei Dynasty, right?
It is natural to allow yourself to study hard.
Thinking of this, Xu Qingxiao took the order with a smile and handed a few taels of silver to the eunuch who sent the message. The latter also left with a smile. Before leaving, he even praised Xu Qingxiao as a good person.
After seeing off the eunuch, Xu Qingxiao readjusted her clothes and walked directly towards the Sutra Pavilion of the Imperial Palace.
There is nothing to do right now, so it would be better to read a book and gain some experience.
Just like that, two quarters of an hour later.
Xu Qingxiao came to His Excellency the Great Wei Zangjing.
The royal sutra collection pavilion is grand and majestic, like a pagoda. It holds the sutra pavilion order, and the guards guarding the pavilion also respect Xu Qingxiao.
After entering, the eunuch in charge of the Jing Pavilion came over and explained to Xu Qingxiao some of the rules in the Jing Pavilion.
No copying or rubbing is allowed.
If you need to take away, you can only take a maximum of two books with you, and you are not allowed to borrow them out within one month.
At the same time, loud noises are not allowed in the Jing Pavilion. Of course, these rules are just words. If Xu Qingxiao really wanted to make a loud noise, no one would dare to stop her.
"Master Xu, what books do you plan to read? Do you need my servant to guide you?"
The eunuch guarding the pavilion said with a flattering smile.
"That's very good. I'm sorry to bother you, father-in-law. I want to read some books on medicinal materials."
Xu Qingxiao smiled.
"Medicine? Master Xu, come with me."
The eunuch guarding the pavilion just thought about it and immediately led the way forward. After a while, he took Xu Qingxiao to a book pavilion and said.
"Sir Xu, this is a category of medicinal materials. There are seven seats at the front and back, with a total of 175,000 volumes. They are all medicinal books. What type of medicinal books do you need to read? I can look for them for you to avoid delays.
Adult time."
What the other party said was very considerate.
"No, thank you father-in-law for your kindness."
Xu Qingxiao took out a ten-tael banknote and handed it to the other party calmly, saying thanks in this way.
It was impossible for him to tell what medicinal materials he needed to find. It was better to know this kind of thing by himself as much as possible.
"My lord, you're welcome. My lord, the servant is not far away. This is the calling bell. You only need to shake it gently and the servant will come over."
The other party laughed.
"I'm tired."
Xu Qingxiao nodded and then began to read the books.
The book is not thick, and Xu Qingxiao can memorize it in his mind just by scanning it. Therefore, if he just memorizes and checks the seemingly hundreds of thousands of books, he can read them all in two or three days.
This is the benefit of enlightenment through Confucianism and Taoism. Reading can be done quickly.
In this way, a book was carefully read by Xu Qingxiao.
A lot of information is pouring into my mind. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, it is definitely good to write it all down.
At this moment, Xu Qingxiao was like a sponge, absorbing this knowledge crazily, feeling happy instead of feeling pain.
Sure enough, reading makes me happy.
Just like that, three full days later.
Xu Qingxiao finally finished reading these 170,000 books, and also knew how terrifying the five medicinal materials mentioned in the ancient Alchemy Scripture were.
Meteorite Gold from Beyond the Sky, a meteorite weighing ten thousand kilograms fell from the sky. Inside there is a small piece of meteorite gold, about half a tael, which can be used to make fifth-grade weapons. It is also an auxiliary material for fourth-grade king weapons. It costs one to two to fifty thousand taels of silver, and it can also be purchased
Less than five hundred thousand taels of silver per pound.
Sixth-grade spiritual wood has a heart, but trees have no heart. Only ten thousand trees can have one spiritual tree, and only one ten thousand spiritual tree has a heart. It must be sixth-grade. The specific price of this thing is not written, so it is difficult to buy.
Ten thousand-year-old purple chalcedony, this is even more exaggerated. Ten-thousand-year-old purple jade is rare, and chalcedony is the essence of jade. You can buy it for 500,000 taels.
Fengu Spiritual Flame, this thing is not bad. The most fire place in the world is called Fengu. It has nine levels in total. The core layer can burn a second-level warrior to death, while the spiritual flame is the fourth level of flame, and its preservation is a
The problem is, it’s almost half a million taels, at least I can buy it with some silver taels.
One kilogram of Yinming Sand, this is a bit outrageous. In a very yin place, a handful of sand on the road to Huangquan. Any place like this is full of ghosts and demons are everywhere. Moreover, Yinming Sand can speed up the cultivation of ghost cultivators.
Speed is usually found in ghost king-level homes.
I guess I won't be able to buy it anymore.
It is estimated that of these five materials, three of them cost 1.5 million taels, and the remaining two are difficult to buy with money alone.
By the way, Xu Qingxiao also learned about what spirit stones are from some books.
A very precious ore, which is cultivated by immortal monks, the price has not yet appeared.
But things from the immortal realm are certainly not much cheaper.
Well, that's quite outrageous.
Does this Alchemist Ancient Scripture think that he is being taken advantage of?
It can easily cost one million taels of silver.
He is now the Minister of Household Affairs, with a monthly salary of fifty taels of silver. According to this calculation, he only earns six hundred taels a year, and can buy three kinds of materials after working for three thousand years.
And prices cannot rise!
Silver cannot depreciate, otherwise it will have to be replenished indefinitely.
"no!"
"Go back and bargain!"
"We must not let him just say whatever he says."
"Who can afford this?"
Xu Qingxiao made up her mind and held the book in her hand tightly.
Although she wants to break through the realm, if the conditions are too difficult, Xu Qingxiao must negotiate the price, otherwise who can withstand this?
I am not the one who has been taken advantage of. I have always been the only one who deceives others. How can I be deceived by others?
No, no.
It was at this time.
Suddenly, a figure slowly walked towards him.
It's a white shadow.
This chapter has been greatly revised. It is about the conversation between Xu Qingxiao and Shui Yunyan. The previous writing was a bit self-indulgent, and I wanted to make fun of it, and I wanted to escape from it.
As a result, the play was a bit nondescript, so I will try my best not to play such tricks in the future.
Later readers, it will not have any impact on your reading.
Old readers, please read the dialogue carefully and change the way of meeting to another way.
Everyone must watch it carefully! Otherwise, the plot behind may seem a bit weird!!!
I'm so sorry!!!! If I don't change it, this section may collapse!!!!!!!
