I am the one running the game

Chapter 58 White paper equals silver
Lu Xingshi and Murong Xuan left the original location of Langya Pavilion and chose a more inaccessible mountain range to rebuild Langya Pavilion.

They did not wait for the news that the barbarians and Rongdi were marching south or that Cai Qiuhe proclaimed himself emperor. Instead, they heard that the court's peace talks had changed from original rumors to reality, and the court also recognized Aha's "sworn brother". The inherited position of King of Liao also indirectly recognized the other party's orthodoxy in Saibei.

In addition, it is necessary to give annual gifts to the King of Liao in Saibei every year.

This was regarded as a step down, and Aha Chu also acquiesced.

Da Song's "gift" to Bei Liao was called "Sui Ci".

This means that Da Song gives rewards to Bei Liao every year, and Aha Chu is a godson and minister, and cannot claim the title of emperor.

In this way, Da Song gained face and climbed up the ladder.

Sui coins are given to brothers, which is equivalent to equal treatment, while Sui Gong is given from subordinates to superiors. Not only must they accept the canonization from their superiors, they must also be greeted by the emperor on their knees.

If things continue to develop, Lu Xingshi suspects that Da Song may give Sui coins next, and he won't be surprised if he gives Sui Gong someday.

It's just that Lu Xingshi doesn't care about Da Song's development. He is currently rebuilding Langya Pavilion. With his construction, forging and other abilities of up to 1000 points, rebuilding is simply trivial.

Apart from the troublesome collection of raw materials, there are no other problems.

The Langya Pavilion he built this time must not only be waterproof, but also fireproof and mosquito-proof to a certain extent. It must not only be secretive but also strong.

So this is a hardship for Murong Xuan.

Lu Xingshi was a big worker, and his master was a small worker.

Asking for help is also troublesome, mainly because it is inconvenient to go deep in the mountains and forests, and then there is the issue of money.

Although he took out a lot of gold and silver treasures from the treasury, after experiencing the last bankruptcy, Murong Xuan no longer spent money lavishly, but saved a lot.

This leads to the fact that if you can do it yourself, you will never hire anyone. Murong Xuan is a bit older, but fortunately they are all martial arts practitioners. "Immortal Rejuvenation Kung Fu" is a Kung Fu that maintains health and longevity, so Murong Xuan's physical fitness is better than those who have not practiced martial arts. If young people are still strong, there will be no problem.

It took nearly three months to finally complete the construction.

"I was almost paralyzed from exhaustion..." Murong Xuan couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the newly built Langya Pavilion.

"It's okay, I don't feel anything." Lu Xingshi relied on the effect of his innate trait of full qi and blood to even turn around without any problems.

"Master, you have to buy paper next...Forget it, let's make it ourselves. The paper outside is too expensive and the quality is not good."

"You go buy some pens, inkstones, and other supplies necessary for daily life. I'll take out all the books we originally had."

"There are also some materials and tools that I need to use to build the Golden Crow. I will also buy them by the way."

Lu Xingshi directly ordered Murong Xuan without hesitation. He was an old Jianghu and knew how to buy without being cheated. If it were him, he might have been cheated and bought it at a premium. The premium would be fine, as he was afraid that he would still buy it at a premium. Inferior quality.

"Can you make paper?" Murong Xuan's focus was not on Lu Xingshi asking him to work, but on discovering that Lu Xingshi could actually do this.

"I know a little bit..." Lu Xingshi recalled, but he didn't remember clearly. It seemed that the bamboo was dried, boiled, washed, refined and pulped. He couldn't remember much more clearly.

But it doesn't matter, you can figure it out in a little time. He believes in his 100-point understanding.

"Have you ever thought about selling paper?" Murong Xuan asked. "Selling paper? Why do you suddenly have such an idea?" Lu Xingshi was a little puzzled. He just wanted to make some for himself. After all, in the eyes of a modern person like him, the idea of ​​white paper being equal to silver is simply crazy.

Although both of them are from the white generation, their values ​​cannot be equal.

"These days, I am thinking that Langya Pavilion can no longer continue to be self-contained. We must find a way out. Even if it is for your son and my disciple, we must have a living."

"Listening to Fengting's gossip and intelligence business, Wen Daoguan may even directly take over the imperial court. If we don't change, it will be a problem for us to eat in the future."

"You can't just go and get the gold and silver from Grandmaster's treasure house when you have no money. No matter how big the gold and silver are, they will be spent one day." Murong Xuan said.

Especially the situation at the Bundokan had a big impact on his outlook on life.

So I know I can't just sit back and have nothing.

He just doesn't know what to do for a living. After all, he is a traveler, and most of the time he has no shortage of gold and silver. However, the money is either left over from his Langya Pavilion or floating wealth that comes and goes. The former is the family wealth prepared for the rebellion. , the latter cannot be counted at all.

Now Lu Xingshi can actually make paper, which is indeed beyond his expectation.

"This is feasible." Of course Lu Xingshi understood the embarrassment of a heroic man being stumped by a penny, and he also knew that money can make people push the wheels: "We can print books as much as we can make from selling paper."

"But we have to wait until I make the paper. I don't have much clue right now." Lu Xingshi only has some memory, but he doesn't really remember it. In fact, he has to explore for a while.

In the end, he had to activate the ability to make paper. In fact, Lu Xingshi didn't know if he had this ability.

After all, this is a martial arts DLC, who knows if it has related functions.

It has the abilities of construction, blacksmithing, appreciation, etc., and what if it also has the ability to make paper.

"Printing a book?" Murong Xuan was a little confused.

"Most of the mainstream books on the market are currently engraving or hand-copied. If we cooperate with movable type printing, the cost will be greatly reduced." Lu Xingshi said.

"Well, just be sure." Murong Xuan had no intention of interfering with Lu Xingshi's thoughts.

"Then the question is, I definitely want to be the hands-off shopkeeper." Lu Xingshi stared at Murong Xuan, meaning just don't let him do the work.

"You don't want me to do it, do you?" Murong Xuan's eyes widened. He was a dignified old man and a bachelor of the imperial court. Wouldn't it be a bit of a loss to do such a thing?

"Yes, if you are not afraid that I will make a loss in business, then I will do it." Lu Xingshi retorted.

"Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go." Murong Xuan thought about it, Lu Xingshi was just starting out and had no experience in martial arts except being able to fight, so he really had to come and then he would lead Lu Xingshi for a while.

In fact, Lu Xingshi won't lose money by himself. After all, he has a business ability of 1000 points, as well as eloquence and accounting skills. If he really wants to do business, he will have no problem becoming the richest man in Dasong.

But if Murong Xuan was around, he might not be able to earn as much as he could by himself, but it would save Lu Xingshi a lot of trouble.

For Lu Xingshi, money is nothing more than an external possession. He wants to take himself one step further, and having money can make the distance between this step smaller.
