NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 241 Political Marriage
After Qin Niu heard this, he secretly laughed.
The shop owner can't sell it for 60 taels. If he keeps it for another ten years, he will probably be able to sell it for 50 taels, and he will be happy.
Now that I have sold sixty taels, I feel that I have lost another twenty taels, which is heartbreaking.
Sixty taels of silver buys an illustrated book of grass and trees. Even if the book is written by some master Mo Yang, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is just like that.
As Qin Niu said, everyone just looked at it as a surprise.
Sixty taels of silver is worth more than twenty years of wages for ordinary people. Ordinary people, who is willing to spend this money?
This book also depends on whose hands it is.
In Qin Niu's eyes, it is worth more than a thousand pieces of gold.
Even if it costs him a thousand taels of silver to buy it, he is willing. It’s just that making money is not easy, so if you can save, try to save as much as possible.
After some haggling, I got it for only sixty taels. The cut of four hundred and forty taels of silver was equivalent to a profit.
With this money, a large number of cultivation materials can be purchased.
He is determined to seek immortality, so he must not just talk about it or fantasize about it in his mind. And it needs to be put into practical action.
Where it’s time to budget carefully, you must budget carefully.
When he has time, he will read through these two plant illustrations. He had long wanted to find out what kind of tree it was, the ancient banyan tree or the 'Thousand Eyes Tree'.
I believe we should be able to find the answer this time.
He also knew nothing about the use of the ice lotus in his hand and its specific characteristics.
In addition, after being nourished by the Changchun Gong, the dog's tail grass mutated and developed purple veins, which he also didn't understand.
And that broad-leaf plant, after feeding termites, actually cultivated medical ants. Understanding the secret will be of great help to him in cultivating other insects in the future.
Worried that the uncle had been waiting for too long, Qin Niu did not go shopping any further, but hurried to the east gate of Maicheng.
Under normal circumstances, almost all cities will have at least four gates.
It is divided into four gates: east, west, south and north.
If it is a big city, there may be Beizhimen, Zhongmen and the like. Designing multiple city gates will certainly increase the difficulty of city defense, but it will also facilitate people's access and is more conducive to the development and prosperity of the city.
If any city wants to develop, the most important thing is its people.
If there are not enough people entering the city and there is not a good business environment, the city will slowly become a dead city.
The management of the Nine Chong Gang, with their barbaric and backward thinking, obviously did not realize this.
It only knows how to plunder wildly.
The fee for Qin Niu to enter Seven Star City was as high as 30 yuan. This was completely a short-sighted act of fishing in the lake.
Seven Star City used to be the number one city in this area.
After two hundred years of being ruled by the Nine Insect Gang, it has begun to decline significantly.
Hey, this way! Little brother, this way!
The uncle has arrived at the east gate and is waiting there.
Seeing Qin Niu appear, he immediately stood on the carriage and waved vigorously.
Qin Niu walked over quickly with a smile.
Uncle, thank you for waiting for me! I'll treat you to roast chicken and braised beef. I didn't dare to give you a drink because I was afraid that you would be drunk and not recognize the road later.
He bought a lot of food, including one for the uncle.
Oh, here, how much does this cost! You kid, you're just asking for a ride, and you're being so polite.
The uncle took the food and smiled happily.
You treat me to a ride in the car, and I treat you to food. It's fair! Eat it while it's still hot! The roast chicken tastes good, but I haven't eaten the braised beef yet.
Qin Niu bought two portions, and his appetite was relatively large.
You must eat meat to maintain what your body needs.
Normally, I am only willing to eat so well during the Chinese New Year. My little brother spends a lot of money, and today I am enjoying the blessing with you. I shouldn't say it, you are still young, and there will be a lot of money to spend in the future. You should save and pay back. You have to save money. If you have money, don’t forget the days when you have no money. When people have no money, it is really difficult to move forward!”
The uncle is here.
After experiencing hard times, he persuaded Qin Niu.
Tell him not to waste money.
Okay, thank you uncle for your teaching. By the way, I haven't asked you your name yet!
He Zhizhou! What about you?
The uncle was already devouring the roast chicken, and he was probably starving.
For ordinary people, they are really reluctant to buy these expensive meats.
Many families can only afford to eat meat during the Chinese New Year.
My name is Qin Niu! It's fate that I met my uncle.
Qin Niu didn't think about helping this uncle change his destiny.
He is no savior.
He never meddles in other people's business.
Then again, if the uncle is in trouble, he will definitely help him without hesitation.
The carriage drove out of the city gate and ran on the road.
If nothing else, we should be able to reach Tianshui without getting dark.
The speed of the carriage is much faster than the two legs of a person.
This uncle can afford to raise a horse, no matter how poor his family situation is, he won't be much worse off.
Uncle, the Shennong faction is so good, why do they want to start a war with the Black Tiger Gang?
Qin Niu asked.
Well, there are some things that we ordinary people should not discuss. This use of troops against the Black Tiger Gang is very unwise and abnormal. Ever since the leader of the Nine Chong Gang married a sister to the leader of our Shennong Sect. , something is not normal.
I heard that the woman I married was very beautiful, which confused the leader of our Shennong sect.
Our Shennong sect has remained neutral for thousands of years. It is precisely because of this that we are able to have both sides and maintain friendly trade with the surrounding sect forces. There is no need to worry about selling the grain, medicinal herbs, tea, etc. grown.
Things have changed since that woman got married three years ago.
All the silkworms raised by mulberry farmers were eliminated and replaced with green silkworms with a higher yield.
Although the woven satin looks beautiful, it is obviously not as comfortable as the previous silk. The durability is also much worse.
However, many mulberry farmers found that after raising new silkworms, their yields could be increased by at least one-half, so they chose to raise green silkworms, and few people raised white silkworms.
Green silkworms are a special species and we cannot reproduce them ourselves, so we need to purchase eggs from the Nine Chong Gang.
This is true every year.
Things like this, one after another, are too numerous to mention. I always think it's not a good thing.
This time the use of troops against the Black Tiger Gang, although it is said to be a sure victory, will expand the territory of our Shennong faction by one-third. But people will die in war, and I am particularly worried about my son being drafted into the battlefield.
Also, with the declaration of war, not only are the goods no longer available to the Black Tiger Gang, but the trade between other sects and us has also been significantly reduced.
In previous years, I had no worries about selling the grain I grew, but this time I had to drive it to Maicheng, dozens of miles away, to sell it.
And the price is not as high as last year.
When the uncle talked about the impact of the war, he shook his head and sighed.
Political marriages are very common among sects and families.
I wonder what the Shennong Sect thinks about the marriage between the Nine Chong Gang and the Shennong Sect?
They are afraid of luring a wolf into the house and eventually seeking skin from the tiger.
I feel that the Shennong faction is likely to get into trouble, and may eventually be plotted by the Nine Insects Gang. (End of chapter)
