It is definitely not an option to continue raising funds like this. The subsequent distribution problems will be like a bottomless pit, swallowing up a large number of high-level flying charms. Moreover, the readership of "Junshan Notes" has been rising. What if it rises to two hundred, three hundred, or five hundred in the future?
Is it good?
?
Zhao Ran asked Spirit Wolf Yueying to take out a copy of this month's notes that he had just edited. He flipped through them and actually took a look at them. In the notes, he talked about a lot of miscellaneous things, mostly about what he had seen and heard from various places, and Yu Zhichuan himself.
Notes only account for more than 20% of the total, and most of the texts come from "pen pals" from various places.
?
Zhao Ran saw Bai Geng's "Anima Qingshan Insights", Pei Zhongning's "Snow in Qingyun Mountain", Yang Zhiwen's "The Art of Carving Beams" and "Reflections on Going to Junshan", Wang Wusen's "Believers in Leping Prefecture"
"The Root of Credibility", Du Xingyan's "Thunder Method", and many other "pen pals" whose names Zhao Ran has never seen.
?
Among these articles, Zhao Ran even saw the poem "Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms in Dajun Mountain" written by Linglang Yueying. The poem imitated the Songs of Chu and said that there was a peach blossom forest in Dajun Mountain, which was very magnificent and beautiful.
?
Zhao Ranqi said: "Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms? How come I haven't seen it before?"
?
Yueying hurriedly said: "There is no ten miles, there must be two or three miles. This place is extremely beautiful, just under the sun of the southern mountain of Maharaja Mountain. Haven't you seen the Taoist priest? Take the Taoist priest with you another day."
?
After reading it, Zhao Ran gave up the idea of persuading Yu Zhichuan to give up "Junshan Notes". "Junshan Notes" is indeed a good thing and can be put to great use in the future. It has developed to this point. It would be a pity not to stick to it. Therefore, he
I started thinking about ways to save money.
?
He took up pen and wrote an announcement, to the effect of informing pen pals who received "Notes" that in order to improve the distribution efficiency of "Junshan Notes", expand the distribution area, so that the notes have more readers, a wider audience, and a larger
Influence, "Junshan Notes" in the 24th year of Jiajing period will no longer be distributed separately. Distribution points will be collected in 13 provinces in two cities. One province or several prefectures will be divided into one distribution area, and one distribution point will be set up in each distribution area.
?
Pen pals who are willing to set up a distribution point in this province, please contact the editorial department of "Junshan Notes". The liaison person is Yue Ying, the editor-in-chief. After being reviewed by the editorial department, he will be responsible for all the distribution matters of "Junshan Notes" in the publishing area. Interested pen pals
When applying to set up an issuance point, inform the number of copies of the notes required at the same time. According to the price of one flying talisman for every ten copies, the freight must be paid before the end of this year - this is also the maximum "carrying capacity" of each flying talisman.
?
After thinking about it, Zhao Ran emphasized a few more sentences, to the effect that "Junshan Notes" is not for profit, and the fees paid are only used for refining flying talismans. He hopes pen pals will try their best to help and contribute to the advancement of the journal.
?
After finishing writing, Zhao Ran asked Linglang to put this announcement at the beginning, and then started to talk about the main topic: "Fellow Taoist Yueying, tomorrow two Buddhist monks will go to Maharaja Mountain to exchange calligraphy and painting with Pindao.
Blocking is one of your duties, and I hope fellow Taoists will do a good job in coordinating it."
?
"Are we going to hold another PEN meeting? Great, does the Taoist priest have any requirements?"
?
"There is only one request. Don't talk about things that have nothing to do with the exchange of calligraphy and painting. Don't reveal the news about Taoism, Ming Dynasty and my Dajun Mountain. At noon tomorrow, you take this official document I wrote to the Yueyuedu Hongyuan garrison barracks and hand it over.
Give it to Taoist Pei, and then bring the two monks over and arrange for them to live in heaven and earth."
?
"I understand. Taoist priest, don't forget about the flying talisman. You will be sending out seventy-six copies of the notes in the next two days!"
?
Changing the way notes are issued and even charging flying talisman fees are things for later. The top priority is to rush to make a batch of high-level flying talismans for Senior Brother Yu. Although Zhao Ran has entered the golden elixir realm, he has not yet received the magic spell and does not have the rank of mage.
If you can't refine high-level flying talismans, you can only trouble others about this matter.
?
Zhao Ran first went to look for the Toad Palace Fairy. The Toad Palace Fairy found her, but did not see Guo Zhiwei. After asking, it turned out that Master Guo had returned to the Spiritual Medicine Villa, saying that he was going to bring some of his descendants to Dajun Mountain to help.
?
Fairy Toad Palace couldn't help but congratulate Zhao Ran on the success of the golden elixir. After the congratulations, she threw a bamboo basket and hit it at Zhao Ran's feet. Zhao Ran looked down and saw that there were six fist-sized gold nuggets in the bamboo basket.
?
Just listen to the Toad Palace Fairy say: "Zhao Xingxing, this is a congratulatory gift from me. I know you like this, so I won't give you anything else. I just want to express my gratitude."
?
Zhao Ran was pleasantly surprised. He picked out a piece and weighed it. It weighed about three kilograms. After careful inspection, he found that it was high-quality fine gold!
?
The gold content of this kind of fine gold is extremely high, nearly 99%, and the remaining 1% is black secret gold. The most important use of fine gold is to refine magic weapons, and it is also an indispensable material for many elixirs. Of course
Fine gold can also be directly exchanged for silver. The market price of fine gold of the same weight is four times that of ordinary gold bricks.
?
Just such a piece of fine gold weighing three kilograms, if converted into silver, would be about one thousand two hundred taels! The total value of this basket of fine gold is equivalent to ten thousand taels of silver!
?
"Fairy, yes! Where did you get this fine gold?" Zhao Ran quickly asked.
?
Due east of the Hongyuan Special Mission Area, on the way to Songzhou, there is a swamp with a radius of dozens of miles. A few days ago, Fairy Toad Palace went to the swamp to look for spiritual herbs. She happened to encounter a sika deer occupying the swamp, and called herself the rain.
Yang Xianren.
?
There was a fierce fight between the two sides. At the end of the fight, Immortal Yuyang was beaten on the head with a copper mortar by Fairy Toad Palace. He gave up on the spot and agreed to be controlled by the Zongsheng Hall and provide an equal amount of fine gold to the Zongsheng Hall every year.
?
Speaking of this, Fairy Toad Palace sneered: "This guy is still being naughty. He only gave me a piece at first, but I hit him twice more, and then I vomited it out."
?
Zhao Ran said with emotion: "Fairy Toad Palace, it is really a blessing for me to have you join me, and I am so lucky to have Dajun Mountain!"
?
Fairy Toad Palace said: "Zhao Xingxing, since you are out of seclusion, I'd better leave the affairs in the cave to you. I'm afraid I won't be able to catch you."
?
Zhao Ran glared and said: "Why did the fairy say this? Judging from the performance of this month, the fairy has virtues and talents, and has a strong view of the overall situation, which is enough to be worthy of such an important task! I hope the fairy will not shirk it, and will continue to do it for me in the future.
Work hard to revitalize the Zongshengkan!"
?
When the Toad Palace Fairy sighed and "reluctantly" agreed to continue taking the order, Zhao Ran asked again: "By the way, does the Fairy think there is a fine gold mine in that swamp?"
?
Fairy Toad Palace rolled her eyes: "After returning to the mountain, I asked Shen Jiangzi to explore the swamp again. However, the output of the fine gold mine is indeed not high. It can provide twenty kilograms per year. It is also a large mine. I want more.
, that’s a bit greedy. Besides, don’t you always say that when we eat, we have to leave a mouthful of soup for others? Or are you planning to let me kill that lustful deer?”
?
Zhao Ran thought for a while and said: "Then let's wait until Shen Jiangzi finds out and come back to discuss it. We also want to prove whether the lustful deer has done any cruelty in daily life. Huh? Why did the fairy say lustful deer?"
Fairy Toad Palace snorted: "I'm too lazy to tell you. I'll bring him to see you later, and you'll know."
?
Since Guo Zhiwei was not here, Zhao Ran could only trouble Uncle Lin from Qingqing Valley. However, Uncle Lin was studying a Taoist skill and the answer was that he didn't have time for the time being, so Zhao Ran had to give up.
