Half-demon Raising Immortals

Chapter 733 Hundred Soldiers
The return of spring.

Rebirth.

Inside Ziqi Hall, Lu Tong sat cross-legged on the couch and said, "Master Qin, I sent you here to discuss something important."

"My lord, please order."

Qin Zong sat cross-legged on the futon.

Lu Tongtong: "There will be a big battle in the near future. We must prepare enough magic weapons, food and grass in advance. I am going to call various chambers of commerce to raise some money."

"Lord, the weather has been good in recent years, and the treasury is very full, so there is no need to raise money temporarily."

"Military affairs are dangerous, no amount of preparation is too much."

Lu Tong took out the brochure prepared in advance, handed it over and said, "I know you feel pity for merchants, but this time is different from last time, so read it first."

Qin Zong took the booklet carefully, looked at it for a moment, and quickly lowered his raised brow.

"The lord of the country is benevolent! Publish the 'Picture of Hundred Soldiers' to benefit the people. Reduce taxes and benefit the businessmen. This is the government of benevolence and harmony."

Lu Tong shook his head with a smile.

The Bu family's three-party eight-part hundred-soldier map contains hundreds of magic weapons and magic weapons, which is very suitable for Liangyao Zhengguo's "Neither Human nor Demon Sutra".

The war is coming, the stronger the people, the better.

He is going to take out this method, and together with the merchants, he will share the profits, so that all the people in the country can afford magic weapons and magic weapons.

Merchants take profits, common people take treasures, and Liang Yao Zhengguo has both at the same time.

"Master Zhang thinks, should this business be allocated to the big chamber of commerce, or to the small merchants?"

"My lord, some of these magical artifacts must be difficult to sacrifice. I think that complex magical artifacts and magic weapons are distributed to major chambers of commerce to ensure that the quality is worry-free. Simple magical artifacts can be taught to small merchants."

"Okay, make arrangements as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

……

Half a month later, the big and small matters were decided one after another.

At dusk, several chariots drove towards Wanyin Water Pavilion, and one chariot approached the others on the way.

"Brother Fox River!"

Sitting on the cloud chariot, Mu Feiyang dispersed the clouds and mists around him, and said, "Brother Huhe, have you also received the invitation from the King?"

Huhe glanced at it, ignored it, and said to the half-demon who was driving ahead: "Hurry up!"

"drive!"

The coachman whipped out a whip, and the six scaled horses galloped faster, throwing off the cloud chariot quickly.

"Be careful."

Mu Feiyang shook his head, knowing that Huhe still resented that he didn't help him last time.

The cloud chariot continued to lean against a flying boat.

Mu Feiyang said: "Brother Bian, did you also receive the invitation?"

Bian Jun smiled wryly and nodded.

"Hey."

Mu Feiyang sighed and said, "I don't know what the lord has ordered."

Soon, a group of people entered the water pavilion.

Miaohua Terrace, a stone platform in the water pavilion, is backed by clouds and mist, facing Yuhu Lake, with green shades on both sides, and the scenery is very elegant.

More than 30 people including Mu Feiyang and Hu He arrived one after another, chatting together in twos and threes.

"Master Hou, have you heard any rumors?"

"There are rumors, but it's not as expected."

"Oh, Master Hou, please suggest something."

"A few days ago, I was summoned by Palace Master Qin, saying that there was a good business to be rewarded to us. When I was waiting in the mansion, I didn't want to, but I waited for the invitation from the Lord."

Everyone looked at each other, shook their heads and smiled wryly at the same time.

"Ding!"

With a soft sound, two rows of maids walked out from the stage.

Everyone understood, immediately collected their expressions, and waited quietly.

Lu Tong stepped out of the shade and climbed onto the stone platform.

Everyone clasped their hands together and said: "Meet the king!"

Lu Tong walked to the top, looked around, and memorized everyone's appearance one by one.

In the hundreds of years since the founding of the country, in addition to the four major chambers of commerce in the early years, dozens of large chambers of commerce have sprung up one after another, involving various businesses such as water transportation, forging, refining equipment, and herbal medicine.

"sit."

"Thank you, Lord!"

After Lu Tong sat down, everyone sat down one after another.

The maids serve drinks, melons and fruits, etc.

Lu Tong: "I heard that in the past few years, trade with other countries has all decreased, or even almost stopped. Has there been any improvement in these years?"

"Thanks to the lord Hong Fu, everything is fine."

"The lord of the country spread all the dharma widely, and created many oxen and horses. With the help of oxen and horses, we traveled in all directions, and our footprints spread all over Jinchi Lake, Yangxu Desert, and even Baiye Icefield. Business has returned to normal."

"Exactly!"

"I have waited to thank the king!"

Everyone raised their glasses together.

Lu Tong nodded slightly, raised his wine glass and drank with everyone.

"The Demon Code of Heaven and Earth" covers dozens of changes of cattle and horses, some of which are good at strength, some are good at water, some have amazing endurance and so on.With the help of these changes, many merchants were able to sell their things to various places at a very low cost.

Lu Tong: "Has our struggle with Jiguo and Xiaozhaoguo affected you?"

"No problem."

"We can't go by water, we still have land. We can't go with buffaloes, and we still have copper-hoofed scale horses. No one can stop us now."

Lu Tong nodded and said, "That's good."

After some politeness, he raised his hand as a signal, and a group of maids came out, holding trays, approaching one by one, and handed each of them a booklet.

Everyone's hearts tightened, and some people even took out the money bag they had prepared in advance.

"These are magic tools and treasures that I have searched everywhere, and they are suitable for the transformation of many monsters in the country. Let's take a look first."

Lu Tong picked up a glass of wine and drank it himself.

After everyone below looked at it, some people noticed it a little bit, with joy in their brows and eyes, and some people were still puzzled.

Mu Feiyang asked: "Dare to ask the lord, is there a way to refine these magic weapons and treasures?"

"Have."

Mu Feiyang immediately stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Master, the Feiyang Chamber of Commerce is willing to spend a lot of money to buy the method of refining weapons in the book!"

The people next to him only realized it later.

"My lord, the Jinfeng Chamber of Commerce is best at forging magical weapons, and I want to buy some methods of refining weapons."

"Huoshan Chamber of Commerce..."

Lu Tong waited quietly, and waited until no one spoke before asking, "Treasurer Mu, which method do you want?"

Mu Feiyang's brains turned sharply, and the patterns and names of magic weapons flashed in front of his eyes.

"Returning to the Lord, I want to ask for the 'Water Calling Sword'."

Liangyao Zhengguo is bordered by Jushui Lake in the north, Yihe River in the east, and densely covered with rivers in the middle of the country. The water magic artifacts are the most popular among people.

Lu Tongtong: "The water-calling sword is refined from water essence. It can cut water and control water. If you have obtained the method, at what price are you going to sell it?"

"My lord, wait a moment."

Mu Feiyang picked up the booklet again, flipped through it quickly, calculated, and said: "Temporary rough calculation may not be true."

"It's okay, you say so."

"Ten to fifteen talismans of ordinary water essence are one or two, and a sword needs at least one catty. After counting the rest of the materials, the cost of a single material will not be less than 250 talismans. In addition, there are various types of equipment such as craftsmen, servants, shopkeepers, etc. According to the current estimates, the selling price will not be lower than [-] blood symbols."

Lu Tong lowered his eyes.

That's too much.

He is very familiar with these magic tools. Except for the water essence, the water-calling sword needs very little, and the cost will not be more than two hundred at most.

He didn't reveal it, and continued to look at the next person, asking, "What magic weapon do you want?"

"Rimless Golden Skull Hammer!"

"Tell me your price tag."

"Yes! This hammer is forged with gold precision. I plan to use the most broken-grained copper in Taifeng Mountain as the material..."

Lu Tong asked one by one, and finally pondered for a while, and said: "To tell you the truth, a big battle is coming, and I am going to benefit the people, so I took out this untold secret."

"The lord is merciful!"

"I am also willing to do my best for the country!"

He swept across the crowd and said: "But the people are poor and don't have much money, so they have to choose 'poor' from the best. You go back and discuss which magic tools and treasures you want, set a price, and send someone to give it to Palace Master Qin."

"Dare to ask the king, how many magic weapons can each family choose?"

"Chew more than you can chew, no more than five kinds at most."

"Guangzhu, the essence of the five elements, there are different advantages and disadvantages, and the differences are huge. How can we refer to pricing?"

"When submitting the price, submit the item of refining together, otherwise it will be invalid."

People looked at each other.

Lu Tong finally asked: "Any questions?"

"Master, what is the price of each method?"

Lu Tong glanced at the man, got up and walked outside without answering.

"Go back and get ready."

"Congratulations to the lord!"

……

Another month later.

Inside the Ziqi Hall, Qin Zong presented a booklet and said, "Master, there are a total of 39 chambers of commerce. All the instruments and treasures are bid by people, and the prices are here."

Lu Tong opened the brochure, flipped through it, and asked, "What does Palace Master Qin think?"

"In my opinion, the price can only be used as a reference. Each chamber of commerce should grant at least one method, and then distribute the remaining methods according to the specialties of each chamber of commerce."

"Ah."

This time the quotation is more real, and the profit is mostly around [-]%.

Lu Tong flipped through it, and said, "Have you screened out the magic weapon of the small merchant?"

"A total of [-] pieces have been selected, gold, wood, water, fire and earth each account for two, and the remaining few are wind, thunder, yang and other magic weapons."

Qin Zong presented another booklet.

After Lu Tong looked at it, he picked out the magic weapon and the chamber of commerce one by one, and said, "There is one more thing. The chamber of commerce doesn't know that the magic door is a reward, so you can use this as an excuse to lower the price."

"Yes."

"Also, I didn't tell them about the tax reduction or exemption. After the final price is set, you calculate how much tax is included in it, and then deduct it from the selling price."

"clear."

Qin Zong admired it a little.

Step by step.

The lord of the country seems to be very aware of the various methods of the merchants, and he is on the dike every step of the way.

Lu Tong returned the selected booklet and said, "Go, start as soon as possible, time is running out."

"Yes!"

……

Three months later, various instruments began to be sold one after another.

Brilliant flower golden sword, water-calling sword, smoke whip, mountain rattan spear, blowing bag, three-flame red flame halberd... No matter water beast, fire beast, cow beast, crane monster, all monster shapes can find the most suitable magic weapon.

After the first batch of magical instruments went on the market, they were sold out in just two days.

The sold-out notices of shops one after another seem to add fuel to the fire, making the already prosperous market even hotter.

Purple Qi Hall.

Lu Tong read the news sent back from the street, thought for a while, and shouted: "Miao Rui, Yue Jinzhi."

Two lizards flew into the hall and turned into Xiu, a beautiful woman, one of whom was well-behaved and the other a little shy.

"Meet the king."

Lu Tong took out two lotus hammer artifacts and handed them to the two respectively, saying: "You each take two silver flood dragons to inspect the chambers of commerce and shops, and check whether they are refining the magical artifacts truthfully and selling them at the price."

"Yes……"

The two didn't know what the words meant, they looked at each other and didn't dare to answer, and they didn't dare to answer, they were in a dilemma for a while.

Lu Tong sighed softly.

Bu Shefeng was too careful.

Asking him to choose two innocent people, Bu Shefeng didn't dare to choose from his family members, he didn't dare to choose from rich families, so he carefully selected two daughters from ordinary families.

Miao Rui and Yue Jinzhi had never seen a big scene or a big person, and they had been cautious since they came here.

In recent years, except for the increase in cultivation base, there has been no great progress in other places.

"If you don't understand, just ask the little blue bird."

"Yes."

Holding the lotus hammer in their hands, the two exited the hall together.

Around the temple, silver-crowned dragons are either wrapped around the pillars, or crawling on the temple, or hanging on the corner of the temple, or soaring in mid-air.

Silver Crown Jiao, one of the Golden Jiaos, has antlers on its head and very fine scales, like a silver loach with horns.

Miao Rui and Yue Jinzhi looked at each other for a few times, but they didn't dare to say anything. They looked at each other and hesitated for a while, then joined hands and went to Xiaoqingniao for advice.

……

"drink!"

"Good magic weapon!"

At the intersection, a Huang Biaohu twisted its shoulders, swung its hips, and swung its tail out like a whip. At the end of the tail was a short hammer.

"It depends on the strength, at least a few thousand catties!"

"More than that, the tiger's tail is so powerful that it doesn't weigh a thousand catties, but with this edgeless golden skull hammer, it's worth at least ten thousand catties!"

"So mighty..."

Hearing the praise, Huang Biaohu's blood became more and more fiery, he jumped up and jumped wildly, and the huge golden hammer was thrown into a large piece, forcing everyone to retreat.

"Then Huang Hu, how many talismans did you buy for this magic weapon?"

A timid voice sounded.

Huang Biaohu stopped his movements, looked back, stood up and turned into a big man in a colorful robe.

"This junior sister, may I ask which adult's residence it is from?"

"Neither."

The big man looked at the shining clothes, put away his teasing thoughts, and said, "I bought this precious hammer for 950 talismans."

"No, I heard that the Edgeless Golden Skull Hammer only costs [-] talismans."

"Ha ha!"

The big man suddenly laughed.

There were also a few chuckles around.

Miao Rui's face turned red quickly, and she felt a little bit withdrawn in her heart, but she didn't dare to go back like this when she thought of the little blue bird, and said, "What are you laughing at?"

"Junior Sister, go and find out, where is the price now?"

"Where did you buy it?"

The man became suspicious and asked, "Why are you asking this?"

Miao Rui's heart skipped a beat, she immediately felt a little guilty, and said in a low voice, "I want to buy it."

The man didn't speak.

Someone next to him said: "Sister, do you want to buy a rimless golden skull hammer?"

"Correct."

"I have, but the price is not cheap."

"How many?"

"One thousand and three."

Miao Rui gradually calmed down and said, "It's too expensive, the Jinfeng Chamber of Commerce only sells it for five hundred talismans."

The man wanted to speak, but the tiger-skinned man immediately interrupted, saying: "Junior Sister, don't listen to these people, Jinfeng Chamber of Commerce can't buy it, you can only find Tieling Chamber of Commerce, and the unified price is 950 talismans."

"Tie Ling Chamber of Commerce?"

"Well, it's too much inconvenience, you can find out by yourself."

……

Miao Rui inquired for five days.

I went out to ask again and again, and asked Little Blue Bird again and again for advice, and after a lot of effort, I finally found out one thing.

"My lord, the Jinfeng Chamber of Commerce only puts a very small part of the edgeless golden skull hammer into the store, and the rest is handed over to the Tieling Chamber of Commerce, which then sells it at a higher price. Some people say that Tieling and Jinfeng belong to the same family."

Miao Rui stood below.

Lu Tong sat on the futon with a calm expression, and said, "Is there any evidence?"

Miao Rui took out a Golden Skull Hammer and a purchase receipt, and said, "I bought it from the Tie Ling Chamber of Commerce."

Lu Tong raised his hand to take it, looked to the side, and said, "Yue Jinzhi, what did you find out?"

Yue Jinzhi knelt on the ground, took out a stack of blood talismans and an inch-sized orb, and said, "My lord, this is from the Feiyang Chamber of Commerce. I don't want it, but the man dropped his things and ran away. I'll send them back." , As soon as he put the things down, the man knelt down and begged me, saying that if he didn’t take it, he would be killed.”

Lu Tong shook his head with a smile and said, "How about their magic weapon?"

"The price is the same, but the supply is insufficient. There are only more than a hundred pieces per day. Some people resell at a higher price on the street. I followed three people. They are all ordinary idlers and have nothing to do with Feiyang Chamber of Commerce."

"Well, get up."

Holding up the blood talisman and the orb, Yue Jinzhi was at a loss.

Lu Tong waved his hands and said, "Accept it, it's just some gifts. Remember, as long as you get things done, the rest will be up to you."

"Yes."

"Go ahead, continue to investigate, and pass on the matter of the Tieling Chamber of Commerce to Master Qin Zong on the way."

"Yes."
