After listening to Ding Kui's words, Lao Qiantou shook his head and said: "After the age of fifty, it is very difficult for fourth-level combatants to break through to fifth level. Most people's physical fitness begins to decline. Even if they eat the treasures of heaven and earth,
If you are barely promoted to level five, you will remain in the middle of level five for the rest of your life.?
Generally, big families will buy heavenly materials and earthly treasures for their children with extraordinary talents, and start training them from a young age. They can hope to be promoted to level five, or even break through to level six and above.
Besides, the prices of heavenly materials and earthly treasures are very expensive. You can only buy one or two copies with the little funds you have. Haha, don’t underestimate those big families, millions of gold coins are nothing to them."
Ding Kui's face fell. He had been thinking about this for a long time, but now he found that it didn't work. This was a big blow to him.
He said depressedly: "Am I not considered a rich person? The Ding family is also considered a big family. Why didn't we realize that our family is rich before?"
"Hey, maybe the Marquis didn't tell you about this. Before the hundred-year war with Qi State, the Ding family's assets were at least tens of millions of gold coins. It was during that hundred-year war that the Ding family's vitality was severely damaged.
The Ding family has been passed down from generation to generation, and a lot of money has been spent on finding good medicines and prescriptions. Thousands of years of accumulation have been consumed in more than a hundred years.
The old master took money from the family to pay for the brothers' medical treatment and injuries. The old master didn't say anything at the time, but I was responsible for collecting intelligence, so of course I knew these things. So many old brothers came to join you.
, I owe the old master a debt of gratitude." As the old money man spoke, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.
"That's it. Don't worry, Grandpa Qian. It's just money. I can earn it back sooner or later. From now on, starting from me, the Ding family's wealth will only increase and not decrease!" Ding Kui clapped his chest loudly.
Make money, make money! I want to find a way to make money, no, one is not enough, I have to find a few more.
Ding Kui was full of desire for wealth.
Lao Qiantou took out a piece of letter paper and handed it to Ding Kui and said: "By the way, there is news from Zhenjiang County. The Senate is investigating that your team has crossed Xijiang and is heading to Pingzhong County."
Zhenjiang County is in the northernmost part of Zhongwangzhou, on the south bank of the Xijiang River, not far from Pingzhong County and only a few days away.
There is a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers from Zhenjing City to Pingzhong County City.
Jiang Nan and the others were both knights, so it was faster to get on the road; Yuan Pu, escorted by Fan Yuzhen and others, did not walk very fast, so the time spent on the road was longer than that of Jiang Nan and the others.
"The Governor of Dideng reported it to the Senate last year, and they only arrived in March this year. This is really fast." Ding Kui took the letter and glanced at it.
"Haha, this incident is a coincidence. There happened to be a New Year in between. The incident calmed down very quickly. There is no need for the superiors to rush to reward you to encourage others.
The people who came this time must be lower-level officials. They are not qualified to use the portal, and they are not willing to spend their own money, so they must be slow to come." The old money man said with a smile.
"Okay, we should be able to get ahead of them when we return to the county town tomorrow. It's also time to report back to the Knights Guild." Ding Kui glanced at the formality in the hall.
Annoying, there is no wall calendar in this world, and you have to rely on stereotypes to calculate time. Huh? Wall calendar! By the way, why didn’t I think of this thing? I need to discuss it with Musen when I get back. Once this thing is done, you can make a lot of money. As long as you can
Solve intellectual property issues.
Ding Kui's eyes were fixed on the stereotype, and his heart was filled with excitement.
There is no wall calendar in the Shenyuan world, and there is no clock. To calculate time, a board is used to mark lines, and a line is carved every day. A year is five days shorter than the earth, and each month has thirty days, so each board
Drawing thirty lines means that one month has passed.
After returning to the county town, Ding Kui was not in a hurry to go home, but went straight to Yanhuang Magazine.
"Master, your idea is very special. Using a 'wall calendar' instead of a rigid one really saves a lot of effort. As long as the price is cheap and ordinary people can afford it, this 'wall calendar' can be regarded as a good item." Musen didn't waste much time.
Jin then understood what a "wall calendar" is.
"A wall calendar with only dates will not be attractive. Put a picture, an article, or something said by a celebrity on each month. In short, it will make the calendar look beautiful. You should organize and edit it well.
Think about it.
At first, we will sell it to the nobles first. Just like "Watching the Moon", we are not in a hurry to make it affordable for ordinary people. We will consider selling it to civilians when there are ways to reduce the cost.
Also, it is not difficult to make a wall calendar. It is easy for people to copy it. You have to find a way to prevent others from making this thing." Ding Kui showed a fierce look after saying this.
In his previous life, he encountered too many copied things, and there were copycats everywhere in his life, especially pirated books. Ding Kui once thought about learning from the great masters on the Internet and making some money by writing online articles, but he was overwhelmingly rejected.
Piracy scares me.
I see that the novels that some people have worked so hard to write are easily pirated by some illegal websites. Even the paid VIP chapters are updated simultaneously by illegal websites. As a result, many good novels have not been written.
If there are no pirates in China, oh, forget it, this is impossible.
Ding Kui is very sensitive to intellectual property issues and hates those people and things that pirate the most.
"Copy? How could someone copy it? This is something you came up with. If others copy it, they are against you. If it is another noble, you can start a noble war to attack him. I believe no noble in the country will
Help him." Musen didn't quite understand what Ding Kui meant.
"It would be troublesome to start wars at every turn. No, we need to tie the royal family and the Senate in. I will give them some shares in this business." Ding Kui pinched his chin again.
"Isn't this necessary?" Musen had question marks on his forehead.
"Don't worry about this issue for now. Show me the calendar design before we talk about it." Ding Kui refused to explain to Mu Sen. He couldn't explain clearly.
Ding Kui still needs to think carefully about this matter. He has to involve Jiang Tong to handle it. It would be difficult for him to do it by himself.

The ten squadron captains rode into Pingzhong County City with Fan Yuzhen. She turned around and asked: "There is nothing special about Pingzhong County City. I don't know why you insist on following me?"
The captain of the first squadron said: "Haha, they are all country bumpkins. They have probably never been to other cities except the capital. I don't know where I heard that this place is good, so I insist on following them."
The military order from the Military Headquarters asked Fan Yuzhen to take 500 people as guards, and there was no stipulation on which 500 people to take; the Military Supplies Department released the money of 501 people including Fan Yuzhen, regardless of who they went with; the camp gate officer
He only counted the heads, and as long as there were no more or less, he would let them go.
As usual, Fan Yuzhen just brought five squadrons out to carry out military orders. Who knew that ten squadron captains were clamoring to take them with them. Later, there was no other way and decided to let the first to fifth squadrons go on the mission, but each squadron had fewer leaders.
A soldier was joined by five other squadron commanders.
The other nine squadron leaders didn't care, as if the first squadron leader was not talking about them.
Fan Yuzhen glanced at the leader of the First Squadron suspiciously and said, "The capital is much grander than here, and I don't see you guys going there during your vacation. Could it be that there is some good place deliberately hidden from me?"
"Haha, that's possible. Just look at my honest face and I won't deceive you." The captain of the first squadron laughed dryly.
"Humph, it's best not to have any." After saying this, Fan Yuzhen patted the horse's back and ran forward.
Yuan Pu and his party first went to the county governor's mansion to visit Teng Falcon. Fan Yuzhen, as the officer leading the team, also had to visit the local governor. The remaining 500 escorting officers and soldiers had to wait for Pingzhong County to arrange military camps.
When the regular army of the Shaodian Kingdom goes on a mission, when marching on the road, they do not enter the city or enter the camp. They must set up camp in the wild. After arriving at the destination, if there is a military camp arranged to be stationed, they are not allowed to leave the camp without authorization.
The captain of the second squadron leaned next to the captain of the first squadron and said: "Boss, should we find a way to sneak into the city first?"
"Captain Fan is very strict in controlling the army. We argued and begged, and it took us so long to come out together. Now that we are in combat mode, and it is her first time to lead a team on an expedition, we will definitely not be allowed to leave the team without permission.
Let's not be anxious. Now that we are here, we will have the opportunity to meet the young master. Sooner or later, Viscount Yuan will go to meet the young master. They are closely following the two personal guards of Viscount Yuan, and will be dispatched as soon as there is news." Captain of the First Squadron.
He touched the long beard under his chin and said.

Lu's Trading Company VIP Room.
"Master Protector, what do you want me to do when you come here this time?" Lu She received Ding Kui who came to visit.
"Haha, I can't talk about the order. I have a business matter that I want to discuss with Shopkeeper Lu." Ding Kui said with a smile.
"Thanks to Lord Protector for your respect, Lv has some experience in business. If I can be of help to you, I will tell you everything."
"The Lu Chamber of Commerce has advertised on my book "Watching the Moon". How do you feel about the effect?"
"To be honest, only people like you can think of this. Advertising has been of great help to our chamber of commerce.
In the past, if we wanted to hold an auction, we had to prepare long in advance and send people throughout the county to invite interested guests; now we only need to publish a piece of news in "Moon Viewing" and basically all the guests in the county will know about it.
.
As well as our product information, price changes, etc., the "Guan Yue" advertisement has saved us a lot of effort. If your "Guan Yue" is sold nationwide in Shaodian, it will be more helpful to us.
Now." Lu She looked a little excited when he mentioned advertising, which was of great help to his business development.
Among the Lu Chamber of Commerce's offices in Zhongwangzhou counties, apart from Zhoucheng, Pingzhong County has the largest business volume. In addition, Lu She has taken over the shares of the gambling house, and he is very hopeful that he will serve as the mayor in a few years.
The shopkeeper of Nancheng Lu Chamber of Commerce.
"Haha, it's still a little difficult for "Guan Yue" to be sold nationwide, but if there is one thing that can be sold to the homes of nobles and wealthy people all over Shaodian, and let them look at it every day, there will be room for advertising on it.
." Ding Kui deliberately didn't say anything further and let it slip.
