"On the one hand, I have a salary from the court, and on the other hand, I teach more than a thousand students in Chang'an City. These students always bring some gifts when they come to visit, so I don't have to worry about money."
A monk with the appearance of a great scholar actually wanted to make money, but Dong Zhongshu refused to persuade him, which made Dong Zhongshu sigh.
However, under Zhang Xuezhou's repeated cross-examination, Dong Zhongshu revealed the source of his money.
Dong Zhongshu felt that he was useful if he had food and drink, which made him have no special concept about money. It was just that he used more when he had money and used less when he had no money.
What he really lacks is the opportunity to reach a higher level.
For a monk, opportunities are hard to come by. When it was difficult to make further progress in the court, Dong Zhongshu also put a lot of thought into the opportunity to enter the solipsistic state.
"You are a wise person..."
"If you have a wise heart, you also need to eat!"
Dong Zhongshu's experience is of no use, and it has nothing to do with any of the methods of making money that Zhang Xuezhou imagined he could learn from.
He muttered that he wanted to earn money to buy medicine, and then carried forward the characteristics of the Yin Yang family's alchemy, which made Dong Zhongshu shake his head for a while.
"If you really want to improve your alchemy skills, you must get the support of a powerful party," Dong Zhongshu said.
"What kind of arrogance?"
"At least the prince and grandson," Dong Zhongshu said: "Except for wandering monks who occasionally make elixirs, only these people can afford to spend real elixirs!"
"Do you have any powerful introduction?"
Zhang Xuezhou didn't care who he made elixirs for.
As the successor of Gu Bugui, he hasn't learned any good skills yet, but he certainly has the ability to make a difference.
If there is a powerful person who refines hundreds of Bigu Powder, Zhang Xuezhou feels that he can definitely keep eight or ten copies secretly.
"I don't know any powerful people." Dong Zhongshu pursed his lips and said, "A powerful family doesn't need Pei Yuan Dan Guo Bo or Bigu San Zha Zha!"
"Are you saying that my alchemy skills are not enough and that it is impossible for a powerful family to take notice of me?"
"yes!"
Dong Zhongshu's straightforward response made Zhang Xuezhou quite bored, and he only felt that he had been exposed to a useless possibility of alchemy.
Dong Zhongshu made suggestions, but Dong Zhongshu's suggestions were still more important than listening to your words.
"Your ability to circulate mana throughout your body is somewhat special. Can we discuss it?"
Dong Zhongshu was also a little cautious when he took Zhang Xuezhou to the civil service dining hall of the county governor's mansion.
His opening made Zhang Xuezhou a little more energetic.
"Master Dong, do you think anyone will come to listen to my lectures?" Zhang Xuezhou asked expectantly: "My requirements are not high, as long as they can bring me some ginseng, poria, atractylodes, polygonatum, polygonum multiflorum, cypress, Yiren, and rehmannia root. , pine nuts will do!”
"Have you seen the scene where Wen Weng can't even get enough people to give a lecture?"
"Saw it!"
Dong Zhongshu replied, which immediately made Zhang Xuezhou crestfallen and stopped thinking and went to eat.
It is difficult to make small money, but it is even harder to make big money.
The business in Shu County City is extremely primitive, and Zhang Xuezhou's many references in reality are useless.
If there is any way to make a steady stream of money, it would be for Zhang Xuezhou to grab a pig-butchering stall and then run the pig-butcher business.
With his current True Spirit Realm cultivation, it would be no problem to bully some city tyrants, but it would be difficult for Zhang Xuezhou after losing control of his body.
Not only was he unable to resist the visits of the city bullies who found out about his physical problems, he was also unable to operate normally when he returned to reality.
If there is no big boss to take care of him, it will be difficult for Zhang Xuezhou to make money.
It just so happened that the boss he was fawning over at this time, Dong Zhongshu, was also a person who used money when he had it and didn't use it when he didn't have money. Wenjun Shuzhi continued to invest his family's income in the construction of Shujun City and was not a squanderer.
It is almost impossible to get money out of the hands of these two people.
"Brother Zhao, you haven't thought about food or tea these past few days, and your face doesn't seem to be very good?"
"To tell you the truth, Brother Zhang, I have been having nightmares for the past few days. Every time, I dream of the snake swallowing me up. I am afraid that something unclean might get on my body!"
There were many people eating in the dining room of the Sheriff's Mansion. Zhang Xuezhou followed Dong Zhongshu to find a seat and sit down, eating the food tastelessly.
He was thinking about his fortune-making event in his mind. It wasn't until the sound of breaking that he heard that Zhang Xuezhou glanced away.
At the dining table more than ten meters away, Zhao Liang had already dropped the pottery bowl he was holding.
His eyes were a little straight, and his face was pale. There was no rush of blood from a warrior at all. He even looked at the pottery bowl he had dropped on the ground with a hint of fear.
Zhang Xuezhou swept over the pottery bowl and food that fell on the ground, and then looked inside his own pottery bowl.
The meal is rice, with sunflower sprouts, two taros, and a piece of pork as big as a palm, which is almost a full bowl.
This kind of food looks very simple, but compared to the common people, the food in the Sheriff's Mansion is already extremely high-quality.
As the highest official institution in Shu County, the food at the County Sheriff's Mansion is obviously not bad.
Zhang Xuezhou looked at the many foods in the pottery bowl and his eyes were already fixed on the sunflower seeds.
Sunflower is the current staple vegetable, green in color and long.
Zhang Xuezhou paid attention to Kuicai, and then looked at Zhao Liang's frightened look. He felt that the other party might have been affected by the shadow of the snake after participating in the Ba Snake mission. After seeing Kuicai, he suddenly had hallucinations and was frightened.
It's ridiculous that a living person should be frightened by a vegetable, but it's probably true.
This is obviously not a reason that is easy to explain. Zhao Liang's face was extremely ugly at the moment, and there was even cold sweat on his forehead when he looked at Kui Cai on the ground.
Seven days have passed since he participated in the mission to kill the Ba Snake, and many things have not calmed down.
This includes Ba She, who escaped, and Zhao Liang, who was injured during the mission.
Long-range shooting of Ba Snake and close contact with Ba Snake are two different concepts. Zhao Liang can still feel the coldness of Ba Snake's body, including the aura that is so deep that it makes him despair after touching it.
Not only was he injured when he was hit by a bamboo raft while hunting Basin snakes in Taipingyan, but he was also left with the shadow of seeing long sticks and long strips of objects.
Whenever he is distracted, the objects he sees may turn into snakes.
When he was just eating, the sunflower sprouts in the pottery bowl apparently turned into the shape of a snake, and he almost frightened him when he put the vegetables in his mouth.
Even the sunflower seeds that were thrown to the ground remained unchanged. Zhao Liang looked up and saw many people swallowing snakes in their mouths.
In just a few seconds, the people who had swallowed it had transformed into snakes as they shook their heads.
Zhao Liang was frightened. He looked at Zhang Shu beside him, and saw that Zhang Shu's kind face changed and turned into a snake staring at him.
This made him couldn't help but scream, drew out the long sword from his waist and struck Zhang Shu with a blow.
"Ah~"
Zhang Shu held up the pottery bowl he was eating in and blocked it. The long sword broke the pottery bowl and landed on his shoulder.
The pain that hit his shoulder came, and Zhang Shu couldn't bear it any longer. He summoned up his energy and strength to punch back.
Zhao Liang's resistance was not as strong as expected. This friend who was usually a close friend of his brother was punched away by him, and he immediately fell to the ground and never got up again.
A fierce confrontation occurred in a short period of time, and the dining room suddenly became chaotic.
