Reborn as Murong Fu: This time I am the protagonist

Chapter 270 Solving the Life and Death Talisman

Seeing Murong Fu attack directly, Jiumozhi felt embarrassed.

Seeing Jiumozhi's hesitant expression combined with his previous obedient attitude to Child Elder, it's not difficult to guess what happened.

Since the other party didn't say anything, Murong Fu didn't point it out.

Jiumozhi said: "Young Master Murong's two masters and uncles' martial arts are truly astonishing, it opened the eyes of this little monk."

Murong Fu said with a smile: "I have just met the two masters and uncles for the first time. When my master was there, I would have a headache when I mentioned the two to Murong Fu. This time it is a fluke to make them stop."

Jiumozhi probably got hit by Child Elder's Life and Death Talisman and suffered a lot, that's why he is so obedient.He also saw that he and Child Elder were from the same school, so he asked himself to solve the problem.

Don't say I don't know how to do it, even if I do, I don't have the kindness to help Jiumozhi get rid of this misfortune.

He didn't forget how much the big monk in front of him made him suffer.

Hearing this, Jiumozhi had a slight look of disappointment in his eyes, but then realized that the other party was lowering his expectations, asking for a sky-high price, and secretly scolded Murong Fu for being treacherous and cunning, and said sternly: "Mr. Murong is too modest. .According to the young master's martial arts, it is only a matter of time before these two people bow their heads to the young master. By then, Gusu Murong will definitely flourish in the Central Plains martial arts."

Murong Fu slandered: Don't put such a high hat on me.

Seeing Jiumo Zhigu talking about it, not talking about business for a long time, Murong Fu simply pushed him: "Master came late at night, I'm afraid it's just to talk about martial arts with Murong Fu, right?"

Jiumozhi smiled awkwardly: "To tell the truth, the little monk did ask the young master for something tonight. I don't know if the young master has dabbled in the hidden weapons and poisons of the expensive sect?"

Murong Fu smiled and said: "Master, you want to tell me about the Life and Death Talisman? This is indeed my uncle's special skill, but I don't know how Master got to know about this thing?"

how do i knowHow did I know that I got hit a few times myself!
Jiumozhi didn't have any temper with this Murong Fu who was pretending to be stupid, knowing that the other party was going to extort money, but he could only bite the bullet and continue talking.

Jiumozhi showed bitterness on his face: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Murong, the poor monk offended a senior member of the noble sect not long ago, and was planted with a few pieces of life and death talismans. During this time, I really can't live, I can't die. I hope The young master showed great mercy and relieved the suffering of the poor monk, and the poor monk will definitely repay him in the future."

Thinking of the feeling as if thousands of ants were climbing deep in the bone marrow, Jiumozhi felt a chill rushing upwards. He only wanted to be able to get rid of this calamity, and he didn't care about fame and wealth.

"Master, you are joking. Murong Fu is still young, and he is not clear about many affairs of our sect. How can he be able to undo my uncle's unique secret method of life-death talisman? Since the master has offended my uncle and her old man, I just beg her to do it. The old man has a kind heart, so he should be able to get you out of this misfortune."

Murong Fu slapped haha.

In his eyes, Jiumozhi is now a golden pig's head, and he would be sorry for himself if he didn't kill him severely.

Could it be that Jiumozhi couldn't understand the meaning in Murong Fu's words: This is because he thinks that he only makes thunder but not rain.

So Jiumozhi gritted his teeth and said, "If my lord can help the poor monk out of this difficulty, the poor monk will take the position of Tubo national teacher to protect the Tubo king, and the high-ranking official and rich man will take it!"

Murong Fu said sternly: "Master, you are joking, as a Song native, how could Murong Fu be an official in Tubo? Don't mention this again!"

Just kidding, when I was a three-year-old kid, verbal checks came one after another.What's more, how much real power can an official position that is recommended by others have?

Seeing that Murong Fu didn't speak, Jiumozhi smiled helplessly, and finally said: "If you can solve this poor monk's misfortune, from now on, Tubo will send you [-] high-quality horses and [-] yaks every year. [-] stones of highland barley, I don’t know what your master wants?”

Murong Fu's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly covered it up: "Master is joking, it's not that Murong Fu is unwilling to help, it's just that he's so ignorant and powerless!"

Jiumozhi gritted his teeth and said, "One thousand horses, two thousand yaks, and twenty thousand barley!"

"Master, it's not that I don't help, it's true."

"One thousand horses, three thousand yaks, twenty thousand stones of highland barley, plus one thousand taels of gold! This is the limit. Besides, the poor monk would rather kill himself!"

Jiumozhi's heart was bleeding.

"Ah, master is serious. I am a kind-hearted person, and I can't see others suffering the most. Alas, master, don't look at me with that kind of eyes!"

The lack of horses in the Song Dynasty has been like this since the founding of the country.There is no horse farm, the horse administration is lax, and many factors are superimposed, so that Song Dynasty has been unable to pull a decent cavalry team.When the famous general Di Qingnan conquered Nong Zhigao in the early Song Dynasty, among the tens of thousands of troops, there were only five hundred cavalry.

The lack of horses led to the high price of horses in the Song Dynasty. The price of the most common bad horse in the market was more than [-] guan, which was equal to the income of a middle-level family for two years.

What's more, Tubo occupies a high mountain terrain, with vertical and horizontal mountains, and among the valleys, there are many horse farms, which have produced good horses since ancient times.When Li Tang was weak in the past, the Tubo cavalry brought losses to the Tang army.

What's more, most of the horse administration trade is still monopolized by the Song Dynasty officials, and it is not easy to intervene.

Seeing Jiumozhi's pained expression, Murong Fu didn't continue to stimulate the opponent's nerves: "Master has good intentions, so Murong Fu can't be too ignorant. Since this is the case, every year from now on, Murong's family will pay half of the official salt in Sichuan and Sichuan. How about offering three thousand stone salt to Tubo for the price?"

When Jiumozhi heard it, his face brightened instantly: "Young master, are you serious?"

"a man of his words!"

Jiumozhi was overjoyed: If such a batch of salt can be purchased at a low price, it must be a great thing for Tubo.

There are many wells in Sichuan and Shu, and Chengdu, the prefecture of Shu, is famous all over the world for its well salt.In the past, when Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, ruled Shu, he vigorously dug salt wells to stabilize the price of salt.

Now the Murong family's various businesses include the business of transporting smuggled salt from central Sichuan to Dali and Tubo, which is huge profits every year.

At least half of the salt owls in Sichuan, big and small, took over the black flag of the Murong family secretly.Including the Qingcheng faction who was defeated by Murong Fu before, it is the largest faction in Sichuan on the surface, but in fact it is a group of private salt dealers.

Half of the official salt seems to be a big profit, but in fact it still makes a lot of money.

The reason why the price of official salt is so expensive is that, to put it bluntly, there are too many taxes, which is a means for the government to scrape land in different ways.The Song Dynasty has always been known for its bloated bureaucracy. In order to feed such a group of people, the salt tax is too heavy.

"Young Master is a straightforward person. Since this is the case, if you need anything in the future, the poor monk will try his best to meet your needs!"

Jiumozhi promised.
