Niu Du took Ji Ming's beautiful jade, looked at it over and over for a while, and then said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask a guy to appraise it."
Wu Tong has been selling jewelry for many years, and his assistants have followed him, and all of them have developed sharp eyes. Now there is a guy who is sitting at the gate of Shangjun Courtyard. My daily job is to appraise jewelry, and my life is very smooth. It was much more comfortable than before when I had to travel long distances, be exposed to wind and sun, and worry about being robbed and killed.
The guy took the jade, looked at it, and quoted a price of 300,000 yuan.
Niu Du nodded, took the beautiful jade to Ji Ming, and said, "Congratulations, this beautiful jade is worth 120,500 yuan."
Ji Ming was originally very nervous, worried that he would be cheated, but Niu Dao said everything was correct, and Ji Ming immediately felt relieved.
A piece of jade was exchanged for a ticket worth 100,000 yuan, and 20,500 yuan was returned.
Ji Ming was very satisfied, put the money in a bag, tied it to his body, and then entered Shangjun's Villa with the ticket in hand.
Ji Ming had been to Shangjun Courtyard before, but when he came in this time, he felt that it was very strange.
Great changes have taken place in this place. Li Shui brought many strange people here, and they conducted research in various workshops. So much so that Shangjun Villa is like a monster.
There were makeshift sheds everywhere and rumbling sounds everywhere.
Ji Ming grabbed a child and asked, "Excuse me, where is the banished immortal?"
The kid said, "It costs ten bucks to ask for directions."
Ji Ming was a little speechless: Huaiguzi is really evil. Even the children here have learned to be so evil.
But now Ji Ming had money, so he took out ten coins and handed them to the child.
The child pointed to the long queue not far away and said, "Just follow them. These alchemists are queuing up to see the immortals."
Ji Ming was a little hesitant: "So many people are queuing up? Can I join the queue?"
The child stretched out his hand again.
Ji Ming understood and gave the child another ten dollars.
The child said with a smile: "They come in for free, but you bought a ticket to come in. To put it in a quasi-immortal way, this is called... what is it called? By the way! It's called Stomach Love Fart."
Ji Ming was a little confused: "What the hell?"
The child said: "Anyway, you paid for it. You are superior to others. You can go directly to see the banished immortal without queuing up."
Ji Ming nodded, thinking: It is fair for Huaiguzi to do such a thing.
So he walked along the long queue. The alchemists looked at Ji Ming angrily, probably thinking that Ji Ming was here to get in trouble.
Ji Ming kept shaking the ticket in his hand: "Did you see that? I'm the one who paid the money. I'm different from you."
When Ji Ming said this at first, he was explaining, but later, he was showing off.
Later, when he was tired from walking, he said helplessly: "How long is this queue? How long does it take to get to the end?"
He raised his head and looked around, and suddenly felt like crying. He was already outside Shang Jun's Villa.
Ji Ming yelled angrily: "You little bastard, aren't you kidding me?"
There was an alchemist who was queuing up next to him and said, "Is this someone playing tricks on you? It's obvious that you are stupid and went in the wrong direction. You are at the end of the queue."
Ji Ming said: "I will walk in whichever direction your faces are facing. How do I know that you will face outside Shangjun Courtyard? Is there such a queue in the world?"
The alchemist pointed to the sun above his head: "The sun is dazzling over there, so everyone turned around and lined up. Is this a problem?"
Ji Ming returned to the gate dejectedly, wanting to re-enter. But the calf stopped him: "Buy a ticket."
Ji Ming shook the ticket in his hand: "I just bought it."
Niu Calf sneered: "You went in just now. This ticket is a one-time ticket, you don't plan to use it for the rest of your life."
Ji Ming almost cried: "I didn't see the banished immortal."
Niu Calf rolled his eyes: "Who cares whether you saw it or not? Either buy a ticket or get out."
Ji Ming touched the calf's body and said to the calf: "I am already penniless."
The calf's eyes widened: "Why don't you get out of here?"
Ji Ming felt angry. Even if he was beaten all day long, he came out of the palace after all. Today, I was shouted at and insulted by a craftsman. This is simply a great shame and humiliation.
However, after thinking about it, Ji Ming felt that he was here to hinder Huaiguzi today, so he had to swallow his anger. As long as he deceived Huaiguzi into becoming his best friend, then his goal would be achieved.
After thinking about this, Ji Ming laughed dryly and said to Niu Dao with a flattering look on his face: "I heard that you can pay for tickets here?"
Niu Calf nodded: "Okay, that's okay. The key is, can you still go up?"
Ji Ming patted his chest and said, "I came from the palace, why can't I pay? If I can't pay, you can go to the palace to ask for the debt."
When he said this, Ji Ming sneered in his heart: Want a debt? Soon, your banished immortal will be in trouble with me. I hope he still has the energy to pay his debts.
Ji Ming quickly wrote an IOU worth 100,000 yuan. At the bottom of the IOU, there was a method of collecting interest that had been written down a long time ago. However, the calculation was extremely complicated, so Ji Ming was too lazy to do it. He had no intention of repaying the money anyway.
After writing the IOU, Niu Dao said enthusiastically: "How can you not bring a gift when you go to see the banished immortal? We have prepared various gifts here. Do you want to choose one? If you don't have any money, you can pay on credit."
When Ji Ming heard the word "credit", it was as if he heard "free money".
He walked to the gift shelf and saw all kinds of jewelry on it, all kinds of things.
It is estimated that the things used to redeem the tickets were put here for sale.
Ji Ming looked at it for a while and saw his piece of jade, which was priced at five hundred thousand dollars.
Ji Ming called the calf over and said, "Isn't it 120,000 yuan? Why did it become 500,000 yuan?"
Niu Dao said calmly: "When you buy and sell, you will naturally make some profits. If you collect 120,000 yuan and then sell it for 120,000 yuan, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?"
Ji Ming was a little helpless and picked a few items at random, spending a total of nearly one million yuan.
Anyway... I don't plan to pay back the money, so I can just build it. If it weren't for the fear of arousing Niu Calf's suspicion, Ji Ming would have emptied the entire shelf.
After signing another IOU, Ji Ming entered Shangjun's courtyard with his things.
This time he was familiar with the roads and quickly found Li Shui along the line of alchemists.
Li Shui was interviewing the alchemists and was very busy.
Seeing Ji Ming coming, Li Shui immediately waved and said: "Water."
Ji Ming was stunned for a moment and thought: That's all, it doesn't hurt to pour you a glass of water. If you turn around, it will be enough if your intestines are torn to pieces.
Ji Ming got a glass of water and brought it over. Li Shui drank it all in one gulp, and then said: "My shoulder hurts, give me a squeeze."
Ji Ming was helpless and started to squeeze his shoulders.
Li Shui half-squinted his eyes, looking at the alchemist who came for the interview, and asked calmly: "Why are you here?"
Ji Ming immediately said with a flattering smile: "I want to make friends with the banished immortals."
Li Shui chuckled: "If you were willing to make friends with me when I first entered the palace, why would you do this?"
Ji Ming sighed and said: "Yes, yes, I regret it more than before."
Li Shui smiled slightly and said nothing.
Ji Ming asked from the side: "So the banished immortal agreed to befriend the slave?"
Li Shui said calmly: "It's not that I agree. At most, I just ignore the past grudges."
Ji Ming cursed in his heart, and then took out several pieces of jewelry from his arms.
Li Shui looked at the jewelry and asked, "How much are these things worth?"
Ji Ming thought to himself: This ignorant person doesn't even recognize jewelry? Can I bring some fake ones next time?
Ji Mingqian laughed and said, "This jewelry is worth a total of 20 million yuan."
Li Shui immediately beamed: "I'm interested."
Ji Ming asked cautiously: "Is that slave... can I make friends with the banished immortal?"
Li Shui said calmly: "As for making friends, that's not necessarily the case. At most, the past grudges can be wiped out."
Ji Ming was annoyed in his heart, but on the surface he was still smiling and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I will come to see the banished immortal next time. The first time is life, the second time is familiar, there will always be a day when we make friends."
Li Shui nodded. Ji Ming said goodbye and left.
After Ji Ming left, Xianglizhu asked curiously: "Why did he suddenly want to make friends with you?"
Li Shui shook his head: "I don't know. This person is sneaky and unpredictable."
Xiangli Zhu chuckled: "Is there someone else you can't figure out?"
Li Shui sighed: "There are always clues to the thoughts of smart people, and they can be guessed. It is often this kind of stupid people who are extremely stupid. They act in unexpected ways, making it difficult to figure out."
"However, no matter what reason he befriends me, I won't agree to it. This person is a broom star and has killed many people. And if I don't make friends with him, he will continue to Send money. That’s a good thing.”
Xianglizhu said with emotion: "Your heart... is so dark."
After Ji Ming returned to Xianyang City, he did not enter the palace immediately. Instead, he found a merchant and sold two pieces of jewelry.
These two pieces of jewelry were obtained by writing IOUs at Shangjun Courtyard. The rest were dedicated to Li Shui, and Ji Ming bought the remaining two pieces to give himself some pocket money.
Ji Ming feels that such a small life is quite beautiful.
On the way back, he met the wizard again. The latter was mowing the grass and wanted to repair his thatched house.
Ji Ming stopped him and asked, "I have something unclear and I want to ask you for advice."
The wizard said: "Please speak."
Ji Ming frowned and said: "I have a close friend who has a very good relationship with me. He and I are also eunuchs, and we share the same problems in the palace. But after he became friends with me, there was no disaster. Why is this?"
The wizard said: "Perhaps this person did not really want to befriend you, so he escaped."
Ji Ming shook his head repeatedly and said: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. The two of us met in Hanwei, and that was when I was unlucky. He must have sincerely made friends with me."
The wizard then said: "Is it true that no one else knows about the friendship between you two?"
Ji Ming nodded.
The wizard said: "If others don't know it, the harm you will do to them will naturally be much less. You know, everyone speaks louder than others. Sometimes the attitude of the people around you can be like a spell in the south, which can affect people. "
Ji Ming nodded in agreement.
The wizard added: "What's more, this friend of yours is a eunuch. A person who is spared from punishment is extremely humble. So you can't hurt him."
Ji Ming suddenly realized: "No wonder those heads of Guizhou often name their children Gou Sheng and Ni Dan. What do you mean, it's easy to make a living with a low reputation. So that's what it means."
The wizard smiled slightly and said, "That's what I mean."
Ji Ming left with satisfaction, and the shaman breathed a sigh of relief, thinking: "Finally the fool is over. Who knows why your friend was not harmed? Things in this world are really mysterious."
Ji Ming entered the palace with a smile, thought for a while, took out 50,000 yuan and sent it to Hu Ji's palace.
Since Zhao Gao was killed and the Wang family fell. Hu Ji fell out of favor, and the palace became increasingly deserted. And those palace maids and eunuchs were all good at changing the situation. Seeing that Hu Ji was in such a state of desolation, they had to do some tricks with her daily necessities, and her life was very tight.
Now that I suddenly received 50,000 yuan from Ji Ming, I was completely relieved. His attitude toward Ji Ming has also improved a lot.
Jiming suddenly beamed, thinking: Huaiguzi, what an idiot. I used his money to make friends with Hu Hai's mother and son. In the end, not only could I defeat Huai Guzi, but I could also find a big backer. Why not?
So Ji Ming became more and more proud and began to plan a trip to Shangjun Courtyard in a few days to bring back some good things...
…………
In the north, a group of people from Gongsun City have arrived.
After several days of training, they also started looking for mineral deposits here.
Now people from Guizhou have arrived here one after another to carry out various mining work.
A mining site often has tens of thousands of people. Some people are only responsible for mining, some are responsible for food, and some are responsible for guarding.
The mine site is like a city, jointly resisting the Huns' sneak attacks.
Of course, now that the Huns were defeated by Li Xin, they were no longer able to harass them.
The people in Gongsun City searched for mineral deposits during the day, and at night, they had to teach these Guizhou leaders how to read.
Gongsun Cheng was very angry. How could he, a high-ranking official in the court, have fallen to this point?
Sometimes in the middle of class, he wanted to curse Huaiguzi. But he didn't dare. These Guizhou officials who had enough food and clothing always regarded Li Shui as a living god.
If Gongsun Cheng dared to speak rudely, he would probably be beaten to death on the spot.
So he could only say Ji Ming and sighed heavily.
Gongsun Cheng felt that if Ji Ming hadn't instigated the discord, how would he have ended up here?
As time passed, Ji Ming's name gradually spread in all the mines. It was spread everywhere by workers transporting mineral deposits.
It didn't take long for Ji Ming's name to be well known here. It even reached the ears of the nearby Xiongnu tribe. It even reached the ears of the Xiongnu Chanyu.
It has to be said that it benefited from the publicity of Gongsun Cheng and others. In the North, Ji Ming is almost the most famous person after Li Shui. Go to Baidu to read the latest chapter of "I was a great hero in the Qin Dynasty" for free as soon as possible.
