Chapter 123 Wang Lixians strength cheats his father
…
The coastal coast on the west side of Muzhen Continent is famous for its majesty, danger and wonder. The long and winding coastline is like a natural protective barrier.
One of the biggest reasons for such a coastline is that the Muzhen Continent is narrow and long from north to south, and there are no giant east-west rivers that bring a large amount of sediment to form alluvial plains.
The coastline has been eroded by tides, hurricanes, etc. for a long time, and over time, it has formed hard, rugged and bizarre cliffs. Of course, there will also be many beautiful white and crystal clear natural beaches dotting it.
It's a pity that in the Xuanwu world, these beaches are worthless, and no one has the leisure and elegance to wear a bikini and sunbathe on the beach.
However, the human race has always been known for its adaptability.
Even in such a harsh environment, there are still human villages and aristocratic families stationed to survive. They will risk their lives to collect blue claw snails and black jade spiritual abalone from the cliffs of the waves, and during the flood season, they will drive fast boats and hunt spiritual swords with spearguns.
Swordfish, etc., in exchange for necessary resources for survival or cultivation.
These precious ingredients will be purchased by special caravans and then transported to the county or the capital for the enjoyment of the rich.
It is now the flood season of ocean currents, and the villages and aristocratic families that rely on the sea for survival are all busy.
For a time, the number of fishing boats on the undulating sea was obviously much greater, and the fishermen went out to fish much more frequently. From a distance, you could see the white sails swaying in the wind on the sea.
.
For a ninth-grade family, if they could catch a third-level Spirit Sword Sailfish, it would be a big harvest, enough to cover the entire family's expenses for a whole year and still have a balance.
However, the third-level Spirit Sword Sailfish is very ferocious, and hunting it is quite risky. Therefore, some in-law families will choose to join forces to hunt, and after the hunt is over, the harvest will be divided according to the amount of effort.
However, compared with previous years, these aristocratic families are particularly excited this year.
In the past six months, the prices of delicacies such as blue claw snails, black jade abalone, and even red clams have been rising again and again, and the purchase price has doubled compared to previous years.
The caravan has publicly announced that they will provide cold crystal boxes, and the Spirit Sword swordfish will be bled and divided as soon as they are caught, and then placed in the cold crystal boxes. The price will be at least twice as high as in previous years!
After confirming that the news was true, the eyes of the aristocratic families in these remote places were red.
This is a good opportunity to make a fortune. As long as you work hard, the harvest in one year can be equal to two years. Take this opportunity to save more [weekly money] and buy more small vegetables for the children at home with good blood and qualifications.
Yuandan is gone.
While people were talking about it, they were also a little confused.
How come the prices of these delicacies and seafood have risen to such an extent?
After communicating with the people in the caravan, they learned that it turned out that Dazhou had opened a trade route with a country called "Dunggan", and the two sides exchanged goods.
The sales of these products in Donggan are very good, and they are often sold out as soon as they are shipped there.
When people heard about this, they were shocked.
How can the Dungan people be so rich?
However, in recent days, prices seem to have changed a lot. In addition to the increase in prices of seafood and other specialties, the prices of many people's daily necessities have plummeted. For example, in previous years, an iron pot often cost three to four weeks of gold, but now it does.
It has dropped to less than two weekly wages.
The prices of other ironware and porcelain such as bowls and pans, hoes, sickles, knives, etc. have also plummeted, and the price of Lingmi has also fallen again and again.
Forget about these, the most exaggerated thing is that even some basic elixirs seem to be cheaper.
The price of Xiao Pei Yuan Dan has dropped to less than seven weeks gold. It is said that even the price of the fourth-grade elixir [Tian Ling Dan], which every low-level family dreams of, has dropped to 23,000 weeks gold.
For low-class aristocratic families or low-level common people, this is a great thing!
Income has skyrocketed and expenses have plummeted. This was something they had never dreamed of before. With the two sides superimposed, their lives have become much more comfortable than before, just like the lives that weighed them down. It was as if all the pressure disappeared at once.
Of course, the subsequent impacts of the trade between the Northern Zhou Dynasty and Dongqian Dynasty are just the tip of the iceberg, but the changes brought about are real.
These days, the expressions on the faces of these low-class families have become more relaxed, their smiles have increased a lot, and they are occasionally willing to improve their food.
And just when the fishermen are busy.
Over the sea.
A cloud ray flying boat swayed gracefully above the clouds and flew across the coastline, heading straight for Muxian City, the capital of the country.
Under the sun, its light blue surface glows with light, which is particularly eye-catching.
The huge ray wings cut through the clouds, just like a knife cutting through cloth. In an instant, they tore the clouds into countless fragments, stirring up the wind and clouds in the sky and creating a myriad of phenomena.
Just this startling glimpse stirred up the hearts of aristocratic families and common people in these places and could not dissipate for a long time.
Ordinary people don't even know what it is. Only those relatively knowledgeable ancestors of the Lingtai realm have heard that it is the legendary Cloud Ray Flying Boat.
It's just that the ancestors of Lingtai from such remote aristocratic families stayed in one place for their whole lives, let alone riding on the cloud ray flying boat. Many people never even had the chance to see it in their entire lives.
Individually, families are developing well. Among the younger generation, families with outstanding descendants of the lower-grade A class have even begun to use their brains.
The family should take advantage of the opportunity of the improvement in income in recent years to work harder and spend more resources on their children. If they are lucky enough to raise a child like a genius, they can let him go to the county to see the world and seek opportunities for development. .
Many times, the wishes of some low-end aristocratic families are so simple.
At the same time, there was a different scene on the Yunray flying boat that had attracted many people's imagination.
Inside the belly-style cabin.
The large wooden boxes made of nailed wooden strips are filled with high value-added products of Changning Wang's, such as high-end glass products, skin care products, refining products, spiritual paper, various spiritual rice seeds, and spiritual tea. , coffee, and even elixirs produced by Wang's Alchemy Directorate.
Only products that are light, small, and highly profitable are worthy of being carried by a Yunray flying boat. After all, the consumption expenditure of a round trip by flying boat is not low.
As for those mass-produced iron pots and ironware, or other livelihood necessities with low unit value but large quantities, they can only be transported by cargo ships.
Moreover, we cannot directly cross the ocean, but have to go further from the northern frozen ocean. First, it is safer along the way, and second, there are transfer stations for supplies.
It's just that the overall speed is far more than ten times slower than the Yunray Flying Boat.
Of course, the cargo capacity is also much larger.
In addition to the cargo warehouse, Yunlu Flying Boat also has many guest cabins. The price is of course very expensive, especially the VIP rooms, which were carefully built by designers from Wang's Restaurant. They are very comfortable and luxurious.
.
It's just the price of a VIP boat ticket, which is a huge amount that an ordinary ninth-grade family can save without eating or drinking for several years.
Just one word, black!
It's no wonder that the Hanyue Yao family has been prosperous and prosperous in recent years, and has become extremely rich.
Especially Yao Chengchao, a hero of the younger generation of the Yao family, because he hooked up with the Wang family, and now fortune has changed, and he has soared to the point where he is the second-largest figure in the younger generation of the family.
Not long ago, he successfully inherited the Lingxu Book from Yao Yuangang of the Chaoyang Palace, and his future is bright.
Under this situation, his mood can be described as "a happy spring breeze and a horse's hoofs".
"Senior, are you satisfied with the set meal prepared by our head chef?" In the restaurant with a 180-degree sky view, Yao Chengchao was smiling flatteringly, bending down to serve an extremely beautiful woman.
She wore a very fashionable fiery red long skirt with slits, which made her already charming temperament even more alluring. She was charming and charming, and her every word and every movement exuded a breathtaking flavor.
.
Especially those charming peach blossom eyes, which seem to be carrying hooks and can draw away people's souls.
Hearing Yao Chengchao's words, she glanced at her beautiful eyes and half-smiled: "Little guy, if you come here to harass customers again for nothing, don't blame me for not giving old Yao some face.
have eaten."
"Ahem!" Yao Chengchao felt a chill in his heart and hurriedly laughed twice in defense, "Senior Jiuwei, please don't misunderstand me. I am at work. As usual, I would like to inquire about the flight attendant experience of our high-end customers."
It was obvious that this mature and beautiful woman was none other than the Nine-Tailed Demon Emperor, one of the three great demon emperors of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.
"That's weird. I think your weird uncle is almost drooling."
The little girl sitting on the sofa opposite the mature woman rolled her eyes and dismissed Yao Chengchao mercilessly.
This little girl is pretty, pretty and cute, but what she said was merciless: "It's so embarrassing. I don't know how Grandpa Yao chose you as his heir."
"That's right! My mother is already old, why are you so tasteless?" There was also a beautiful and small seven-tailed fire fox squatting next to the little girl. At this moment, she was uttering human words and a series of words.
, "Chiwei, I'm so beautiful, but I don't expect you to look at me more than once. Of course, even if you pursue me, I won't agree. I've long been brother Shouzhe's fox."
This pretty little girl is naturally Wang Lixian.
But it's not the real body, but one of Wang Lixian's clones.
Since being promoted to the ninth level, the number of clones that Wang Lixian can create has reached three. One of them was sent to the Immortal Dynasty to join Wang Fugui and Wang Anye, one stayed at home and studied with the original one, and the last one is of course right in front of him.
Already.
And that fox is "Yuwen Chiwei", the fire fox ancestor of the Yuwen clan.
She had never known her mother's existence since she could remember. Although she and her daughter, the Nine-Tailed Demon Emperor, knew each other now, the relationship was naturally not very good.
"You two young ladies, just stop talking." Yao Chengchao felt extremely embarrassed. He was afraid that he would become the fish in the pond, so he quickly made an excuse and left, "I'll go to the head chef and give it to you two."
Please make some delicious food, young lady."
After that, he ran away in disgrace.
After Yao Chengchao left, the Nine-tailed Demon Emperor glared at Chi Wei angrily: "You're such a big fox, you haven't even transformed yet. You've been guarding brother Zhe for a long time and brother Zhe is short for you.
It’s not a shame to lose a fox.”
"It's not your turn to take care of this matter. Brother Shouzhe and I have been engaged for a long time. Brother Shouzhe promised me that after I transform, he will marry me as his little wife." Yuwenchi said hummingly.
, "From now on, you are not allowed to be alone with Brother Shouzhe, and you are not allowed to use flirtatious techniques to tease him. Don't think that I don't know, you have tried it secretly several times, but people think you are old and have given birth to a baby.
I don’t pay any attention to you at all.”
The nine-tailed demon emperor was lucky enough not to be angry to death.
What does "having given birth to a baby even when you are old" mean? Isn't it you who gave birth to a baby?
"You should be more careful, Wang Shouzhe is unpredictable." The nine-tailed demon emperor rolled his eyes and poked her forehead with his slender jade finger, "You are so stupid and ignorant of the world.
Even if he sells you one day, you will still have to count the money for him with a smile."
"As long as Brother Shouzhe needs it, I'll be happy even if he sells me." Yuwen Chiwei was poked so hard that his head tilted, and he shook his head angrily and rolled his eyes at her.
"You unlucky little thing~" The Nine-tailed Demon Emperor was so angry that his eyebrows stood up, "I am still working for Wang Shouzhe at this age, why don't I want to make more money to replenish your energy that has been lost over the years. I will take you with me.
I came to Northern Zhou Dynasty to broaden your horizons~ It’s better for you, you want to make your mother mad to death, right?”
She took the Yungui Flying Boat this time because she accepted Wang Shouzhe's employment and went to the Northern Zhou Dynasty for business.
With her status as the nine-tailed demon emperor, how could she give up for five buckets of rice? She naturally refused.
It's just that the price offered by Wang Shouzhe was too high, and she couldn't refuse.
After all, Chi Wei had not been around her since she was a child. She had endured a lot of hardships since she was a child. She had not been trained according to the secret method of the nine-tailed fox clan since she was a child. She was born with some deficiencies, so that at her current age, she could not cultivate
Why is it only the seventh level?
According to Wang Shouzhe, he almost failed to survive the thunder catastrophe when he was promoted to seventh level.
And all this was because he failed to protect her.
Jiuwei felt extremely guilty, and naturally wanted to get some top-notch treasures to make up for her shortcomings over the years, and try to restore her foundation as much as possible.
"Sister Chiwei, Aunt Jiuwei, please stop arguing for now." Wang Lixian advised, "We are all a family, and we must live in harmony and love each other. I like you two very much, why not marry my father together?
Be a little wife..."
"..." The Nine-Tailed Demon Emperor was stunned and grabbed Wang Lixian's ears, "Tell me honestly, girl, did your father teach you to say this? You Wang Shouzhe is so greedy that a snake swallows an elephant.
Ah~!”
"Haha, that's a good idea. I'll ask Liu Ruolan for her opinion later. If she has no problem, we, mother and daughter, will have no problem either!"
…
at the same time.
Far away in his old house, Wang Shouzhe, who was lying under the shade of a tree and enjoying a comfortable life, suddenly sneezed twice for no reason, and felt a slight chill in his heart.
This made him frown.
Everything is so good, how could I have such an ominous premonition?
Could it be that there was a problem with some aspect of this big plan?
He couldn't help but calm down and began to carefully consider the prepared plan. However, after repeated deliberation, he couldn't figure out what the problem was. He just felt that every link had been carefully considered and there should be no more problems.
Poor Wang Shouzhe could never have expected that his precious daughter's abilities would deceive her father and inadvertently lay the root of his trouble.
…
The capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Muxian City.
Inside Princess Luojia's mansion.
In the luxurious and elegant study room, a graceful figure was sitting behind the desk, frowning, and listening seriously to the complaints of a group of royal elders.
This figure is naturally Princess Luojia.
She has a headache recently.
Since the two countries signed a trade treaty with Dungan Country, both sides have sent caravans to the other country.
In this way, naturally there is a good side and a bad side.
The good side is that many of Dungan's products are of high quality and low price, with high sales volume. Moreover, they work rigorously and pay taxes according to regulations. The import and export duties are never in arrears, which really adds a lot of tax revenue to the imperial treasury.
In the future, as the intensity of trade gradually increases, the national treasury that was gradually empty will surely be filled again.
Many projects that we wanted to do but could not afford in the past have been launched one after another. It can be said that this has increased the strength and prestige of the royal family and the court in disguise.
In addition, the reduction in the price of daily necessities is also quite beneficial to the lower-class families and ordinary people. This makes their hands a lot easier, and they have more balance to do other things.
But for those aristocratic families who control the industry, or independent craftsmen of people's livelihood products, they have not seen the benefits of trade at all, but have suffered greatly from it.
After being transported over a long distance and paying a hefty customs duty, a small Pei Yuan Dan was only sold for more than six weeks' worth of gold... only 60% of the price of the Great Zhou's.
This has put the alchemy workshops of many aristocratic families out of business.
In addition, industries such as clothing, weapon refining, and spiritual seeds have also been greatly impacted. In terms of cost, quality, and after-sales maintenance, they have been completely crushed by Dongqian.
These related types of products, let alone exported to Dongqian, cannot be sold at home.
What Da Zhou exports to Dongqian can only be resource-based commodities, such as various metal ingots, various spiritual woods, special ingredients, and future migrant workers, etc...
Because as soon as the two countries started exchanges and trade, many talents immediately became unbalanced after hearing about the remuneration for the same type of work in Donggan. Many people were ready to travel thousands of miles to work in Donggan, and there were even some people who specialized in doing part-time work. Relevant organizations that mediate this business.
The only thing that gave Princess Luojia some relief was that the family that suffered the greatest impact was not another family, but the Palace of the Prince of Wei.
The Palace of Wei has been prosperous in recent years, and has continued to occupy a monopoly or dominant position in various industries. It can be said that it has made a lot of money and lived a good life. But as soon as Donggan products came in, they were the first to bear the brunt.
In addition, the basic industries in the hands of the royal family, such as grain, livestock, fisheries, forestry and other stable industries, except for forestry, which has not been greatly affected, other industries are full of panic.
There is no way, ordinary food and spiritual rice in Donggan are too cheap.
As for animal husbandry and fisheries, Dazhou is far from being able to handle Donggan.
After finally comforting and sending away the crying elders from the Royal Family Mansion, Princess Luojia rubbed her temples and asked the maid: "Where is Mr. Shouye? Didn't I ask you to invite him?"
The maid hurriedly said in fear: "I have already gone to invite him, but Mr. Shouye's bodyguard said that his furnace of [Soul Shaping Holy Pill] is at the final moment, so she did not dare to disturb him. He will come over after he is done."
Soul Shaping Holy Pill!
Princess Luojia felt dazed and relieved when she heard this.
This is a seventh-grade holy elixir. The huge Zhou Dynasty cannot find a single alchemist who can refine a seventh-grade elixir alone. However, Mr. Shouye can refine it alone. He is truly a genius.
But this prodigy is indeed amazing...
In the name of hiring Shouye to help with alchemy, she invited him to live in Princess Luojia's mansion. To this, he readily agreed and moved over happily.
But after he entered the princess's mansion, he really plunged into the alchemy workshop. It had been a whole year, and the two of them had not seen each other at all.
He is either refining an elixir or refining an elixir...
No matter whether the royal family, aristocratic family, or the Holy Land asked him to refine the elixir, he would not refuse anyone who came, and he would take the commission according to the rules.
He makes elixirs quickly, has good appearance, and has a high success rate. Naturally, countless people are willing to hire him!
This year has been very busy, but Wang Shouye is very happy and fulfilled. Without the family investing in expensive raw materials, he has so many opportunities to practice, so he is naturally satisfied.
Moreover, under the guidance of the Mysterious Alchemy Manual, his level of alchemy was constantly improving, and it could be said that he was making great strides with each passing day.
No, they have already started trying to refine the seventh-grade holy elixir.
But we can't be so obsessed with alchemy, right? Otherwise, the lives of these two people will be too boring in the future, and Princess Luojia is heartbroken.
At this time.
The family general reported that Yao Chengchao, who was flown by the Yao family, came to see the princess. It is said that he also brought the family members of the young master to see the young master.
Yao Chengchao?
This is one of the most popular figures among the younger generation of the Immortal Dynasty.
As for the family of Mr. Shouye... Princess Luojia will naturally meet them in person.
After a stick of incense.
In the reception hall of the Princess's Mansion.
Princess Luojia changed her clothes and dressed up carefully. She was fully prepared and put out the best tea and snacks in the princess's mansion. Then she was very energetic and prepared to meet Shouye.
Family, try to leave a good impression.
However, she never expected that the person who walked into the reception hall led by the maid was a beautiful woman holding a fox in one hand and holding a pretty little girl in the other.
Seeing this scene, Princess Luojia was stunned for a moment.
Then her pupils suddenly tightened, and an idea came to her mind uncontrollably.
This woman is so gorgeous that she traveled thousands of miles to find Shouye. Could it be that she is the wife of Mr. Shouye?
Just for a moment, Princess Luojia instinctively felt a little nervous and hostile.
It feels like you have seduced someone's husband, and then the original wife comes to settle the score with her child.
How keen is the Nine-tailed Demon Emperor?
She was also the first to notice something strange about Princess Luojia, and she suddenly felt suspicious in her heart.
Wang Shouzhe sent her to the Northern Zhou Dynasty to assist in the business affairs. After all, could it be because of this woman?
Could it be that this is the confidante of Wang Shouzhe, the old fox?
The two people's eyes met, and sparks couldn't help but burst out in the air.
