"Master Gui, this business of exchanging official silver for private gold depends on God," Cheng Xiancheng said in a low voice, but the peeping trio could really hear it, "My Jinsha business also depends on Huanhe!"
"Our master said that it's all thanks to Cheng County Cheng's care these years. Cheng County Cheng has a great reputation, and the Huan River has taken care of you, but I don't know how much gold you can get this year?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiancheng didn't hesitate and opened a box next to him.
The gold was shining. Wei Xi had never seen this box of gold before, and his eyes almost fell out.
The box that Wei Xi could be stuffed into was filled with gold nuggets of all sizes, and the Hu man's face buried under his beard was illuminated.
Cheng Xiancheng patted the wooden box and said, "There are twenty-three boxes in total, five boxes more than last year. I hope Mr. Gui is proud enough!"
The barbarian put his hand in and said, "Cheng County Cheng is hiding his secrets. Is all the gold in Tangkou Town here?"
"Everyone says that Gongman Gold Mine is the largest gold mine in Suzhou," Cheng Xiancheng grabbed gold nuggets of different sizes and said with squinted eyes, "If you ask me, Tangkou Town is Mr. Gui's gold mine. !”
Wei Xi now began to worry about the whereabouts of the townspeople in Tangkou Town.
Only then did Wei Xi realize a problem: everyone said that Tangkou Town produced gold sand, but since they entered Tangkou Town, they had not seen a single gold-mining town citizen.
"I have more and more gold here, but I don't know if Mr. Gui can always wrap it up. After all, the Xu family has come to ask." Cheng Xiancheng meant what he said.
The Hu man had already paid his respects to the eighteen generations of the Cheng County Prime Minister in his heart. It's just that the other end of the Wang Zhang has ordered that Cheng County Cheng should maintain this road carefully. After all, the gold smuggled from here is what Wang Zhang wants.
"Cheng Xian Cheng and our master have been working together for such a long time. Both our master and Cheng Xian Cheng have made a lot of money, and the master has been a close friend of the county prime minister for a long time," the bearded man, who has been active in Ju for a long time, said in an authentic voice. In Juguo dialect, "Our Master Gui also brought some gifts!"
The bearded man clapped his hands, and another Hu man stood up and moved a box of things from behind.
It was at this time that Wei Xi saw another person, the driver who was helping to carry the box.
The coachman also had a beard, was strong, slightly shorter than the bearded man, and had a cyan birthmark as big as a fingernail on his left cheek.
The box was placed, and the coachman and another Hu man stood aside. Bearded man opened the box, which was filled with spiritual stones.
Poor Wei Xi was knocked down by the rich world for the second time tonight. She could see clearly that there were high-grade spiritual stones inside.
It's sad that everyone in the world is rich but I am poor.
"Knowing that Cheng County Cheng is sincere in offering sacrifices to the river, we don't have much to show for it. This box of high-grade spiritual stones and several carts of tributes outside are just a small token of our gratitude."
"Mr. Gui is so generous! The Xu family can't stand it. He doesn't understand me, a small county prime minister, and threatens me." Cheng Xian Cheng didn't know whether it was because of his good acting skills or because he was really dissatisfied with the Xu family. When he spoke of the Xu family, his tone was full of resentment. "It's not like Mr. Gui is really serious about making friends with someone!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Gui! I'm sure the gold in Tangkou Town will be sold to Mr. Gui from now on!"
Wei Xi and the others heard too many secrets tonight. Lian Goupu broke out in a cold sweat: The water in Tangkou Town was too deep, and it would be easy to end his life if he was discovered.
He quickly went to take a look at Wei and Qin. The two men had serious faces and seemed to know that the matter was serious.
At this moment, a strong wind blew up, and the big candles were blown to the point of falling, and the white cloths in the courtyard were shaking wildly like wandering spirits in the dark night.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Xiancheng, who was still exchanging blows with the bearded businessman, suddenly changed his face and said, "Who is here!"
Wei Xi thought something was wrong, so she grabbed one of them and ran away, knocking her hand off with a hook.
"Don't panic!" Lian Gouyi whispered, "Go back the way you came!"
There are specialties in the art industry. Following the voice of Cheng Xiancheng calling for soldiers, the three of them took advantage of the chaos and left the yard. Who knew that those white cloths were like spirits? Wherever the three of them went, the white cloths around them began to shake.
"What's the origin of these white cloths!" Lian Gouyi had never been chased like this before, "Can you burn them?"
"Why are you burning these things?" Qin Feng said fiercely, "As long as we run out, there won't be these white cloths!"
Having said that, soldiers holding torches surrounded the three of them from several directions, and to be honest, they were a little nervous.
Fortunately, although the three of them each have their own specialties, due to their own wonderful experiences, the skill of escaping is still slightly better.
Although Lian Gouyi failed to take the lead in finding the magistrate, his skills in returning the same way were still good.
The three of them walked through the white cloth jungle and finally saw the courtyard wall.
Qin Feng didn't even stop. He climbed up the wall in three steps and climbed over it neatly.
Very good, a small question in Wei Xi's mind has been solved.
"Don't be stunned," Lian Goulai squatted down, "Hurry up and get over!"
Wei Xi's foot stepped on her so hard that it tickled her buttocks and feet as she disappeared from the wall.
Wei Xi turned over, but Qin Feng was underneath to pick her up. Since he was running for his life, Wei Xi did not hesitate and jumped down while avoiding Qin Feng.
Fortunately, Lian Goupi took a look when he emerged from the wall, otherwise the two of them might have collided with each other.
"Are you two okay?" Qin Feng grabbed Wei Xi's collar and pulled her up from the ground, while Lian Gouluo waved her hand.
The three of them ran for a long time at night. Thanks to the heavy fog in Tangkou Town, the soldiers were left behind.
In the end, the three of them crawled back to the guest room through the crack in the window left before leaving for safety.
Lian Goului, who had used up all his spiritual energy, narrowly escaped falling from the window into the guest room.
Wei Xi supported Lian Gou Ni and closed the window. Lian Gou Ni, who was out of strength, thanked her.
Qin Feng took out a piece of candy from the bundle, stuffed it into his mouth, and threw Zhang Qingyin away. Fortunately, because of the food for three people, she bought some emergency charms before setting off.
"Your spiritual power has not increased after all this time." Qin Feng poured a cup of tea, held it in his hand for a while, then took a sip of the tea.
"I can't help it. I don't have a Qi Palace like you. I only have one day's supply of spiritual energy. I really suffered today."
Even Gouyi was worried about whether his problem would be exposed if he pretended to be a monk. Unexpectedly, Wei Xi sneered and told him to stay at ease in the Qingcheng Sect. The Qingcheng Sect was already used to weak monks.
"So I beg you to find something out today," Lian Gouni said painfully, "otherwise I won't be able to get back the spiritual energy I overdrawn today."
Lian Gouyi seemed to have tried his best, but Wei Xi's mind was now filled with gold and spiritual stones.
Qin Feng stepped forward and said, "We are indeed in trouble. Official silver is exchanged for private money. This is a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan."
"What do you two know about Ju State's official bank control?" Qin Feng saw the clear ignorance on the faces of Wei Xi and Lian Gouyao, and asked unwillingly, "Do you know about the spiritual gold exchange?"
"Lian Gouyi grew up in Baoxiang City. My family was so poor that my father didn't even have any hair left on the rabbits he shot." After Wei Xi finished speaking, Lian Gouyi looked at her weakly.
"Ju State actually controls 26 states, 11 states in northern Xinjiang, 10 states in Dongyi, and 5 states in Nanjiang. The Daizhi and Hongti tribes in Nanjiang are enfeoffed, and the western regions include Qiuci City, Daxiong City, etc. Five dependent cities.”
"Ju State implements a system of prefectures and counties, but it also has to deal with fifty or sixty sects, large and small, and among these sects there are intertwined immortality cultivating families."
"In order to control the economy of Ju State, Ju State has government-run all mineral deposits, with copper and silver mines as the main currency. Jucheng has a separate Mint Department to manage the issuance, exchange and recycling of currency."
"Copper coins are okay, but Jucheng has put a lot of effort into silver." Qin Feng took out two ingots of silver from his purse, pointed at them and said, "Today I will teach you how to identify official silver."
