Chapter 712: Pure Desire
Currency is both a system and a rule, and a stable currency means a stable situation.
In wealthy places like Zhongzhou and Tiannan, there are already products such as banknotes, vouchers, and jiaozi that replace metal currency.
Merchants are also popular, leading from east to west, and tens of millions of people can live in large cities.
As a Haikou city adjacent to Yanfu City, Danmu Town naturally has many young people who dream of making a fortune.
Some people were deceived and ruined, and some made a lot of money.
The Zhen family, who used to be a huge rich family in Danmu Town, was a family that became extremely rich in continuous trade.
It's just that the family business is bigger, and the people's hearts are scattered, and after the death of Master Zhen, the three sons split up, and the situation of the Zhen family has plummeted.
The three brothers, who thought they were too bad, ran into frustrations everywhere after losing the care of their families, and after a few years of hard work, they put the good situation that the Zhen family had accumulated for decades into a brilliant light.
By the time the three brothers reacted back, it was already a tragic situation of huddling together for warmth.
The once wealthy Zhen family has become an ordinary family of walkers, relying on some relationships that Master Zhen has opened up in the world, and it is difficult to maintain.
But the peers who have carved up the Zhen family's business naturally don't want to see the Zhen family's rise again, so they continue to suppress it.
The guards, ship routes, and traffic all treated the Zhen family as a piece of fat, raising prices and thinning the profits of the Zhen family's merchants.
In addition to these business suppressions, the Zhen family's luck is also extremely poor.
There are dozens of routes from Danmu Town to Yanfu City, and the safest of them is naturally the official road of the Wang family.
However, there are taxes to be paid on official roads, and in order to maximize profits, most small traders choose to take mountain roads.
After all, there were no avenue bandits entrenched around Yanfu City, and some rogue bandits hired two guards to completely get it.
Even some big businessmen don't need to hire any guards, and they can directly transfer a few generals from the mansion and be safe.
But I don't know if the Zhen family is lucky, and the first business after the merger ran into a wolf thief.
If the goods are not guaranteed, Zhen Laosan, the only fierce realm of the Zhen family, also died, and the loss of the fierce realm martial artist has become the fat in the eyes of all the clans in Danmu Town.
Just when everyone thought that the Zhen family would completely decline, the eldest daughter of the Zhen family, Zhen Bei'er, stepped forward and said that who could solve the Zhen family's dilemma, she would promise herself.
But the tribes in Muzhen discovered that the eldest daughter, who was tightly hidden by the Zhen family's boss, was so beautiful.
The 100-year-old Zhan master was moved, and he forcibly accepted Zhen Bei'er as a concubine, feasted the whole city, and even wrote a poem to congratulate:
Eighteen brides Baihachiro, pale hair on red makeup.
In the cave room at night, the mandarin ducks are quilted, and a pear tree presses the begonias.
The mystery in this is not known to outsiders, but with the action of the Zhan family, the first wealthy family in Danmu City, the Zhen family finally survived.
But I don't know if Zhen Bei'er's kung fu in bed is too much, Master Zhan is really doting on him, and his diligence in refusing to get out of bed has already become the biggest gossip after tea and dinner in Danmu Town.
As long as they talk about the flower-like Zhen bottle, the men's snorts will become heavy.
But this is just a matter of thinking, because the Zhan family is the largest clan in Danmu Town, and no one dares to surpass it.
From a concubine to a wife, it only took Zhen Bei'er three years, and Master Zhan regarded this woman as the tip of his heart.
Internally, he is only ordinary, and he is even more generous to his clan, and he has handed over a lot of external business to the Zhen family to do, and he also vigorously supports the new generation of the Zhen family, so that they can enjoy the same resources and martial arts guidance as the disciples of the Zhan family.
As soon as this incident came out, several uncles of the Zhan family suddenly couldn't sit still, they could tolerate Master Zhan's favor Zhen Bottle, because it was just a plaything, and they couldn't turn over any storms.
But practicing martial arts is different, if the Zhen family has extraordinary qualifications, they will be able to grow big in a few decades.
The joint persuasion of several uncles finally dismissed Master Zhan's decision, but as a way to make up for it, the Zhan family shared more big business with the Zhen family, and the uncles of the Zhan family had no opinion on this.
Until the death of the old man Zhan more than ten years ago, several uncles of the Zhan family fought over who to support the orphans.
In fact, who doesn't know the thoughts of several masters, what they want is nothing more than the beautiful woman named Zhen Bei'er.
In the end, no one knows how they negotiated peace, only that Zhen Bei'er returned to the Zhen family as Mrs. Zhan, and the Zhan family also cut off their offerings to the Zhen family.
After that, Mrs. Zhan became the first beauty in Danmu Town, the object of pursuit of all families.
The job that Kaba found for Xu Lao Ying was to escort a small caravan of the Zhen clan from Danmu City to Yanfu City.
Set the money to 20%, and get 80% when you arrive, a total of 1,000 gold coins, which is not easy or difficult work.
Xu Laoying, who just went to Zhen's mansion to report, was surprised to find that Kaba was also in the queue, and he was squeezing his eyebrows at him.
"Brother Lao Ying, it's up to you to take care of your brother all the way!"
Seeing Xu Laoying, Kaba came up with a hippie smile, and then whispered in Xu Laoying's ear: "I have already said hello to the steward, and we will escort the two of us on this trip, and the reward is 5,000!"
"So you swallowed four thousand?"
Xu Laoying, who was too lazy to use the secret meaning, rolled his eyes and was about to leave immediately.
"What do you think, old win brother!"
Kaba sighed, stretched out five fingers and said, "I'll take five hundred." ”
Xu Laoying, who really didn't want to play dumb riddles, turned on the secret meaning, and then was taken aback: "Where is the remaining 3,500 gold?"
"Of course, it's filial piety to the steward. ”
Kaba said as a matter of course.
"We are the guards who deliver the goods, why should we give him money?"
Xu Laoying said angrily, because he knew that Kaba was telling the truth, but he really didn't understand why the dead fat man standing on the stage had to take away three thousand five hundred gold without moving.
"If he doesn't give him money, why should he appoint us to escort living creatures?"
Kaba glanced at Xu Laoying with the eyes of an idiot, and then patted Xu Laoying's shoulder and comforted: "Okay, okay, I know that your swordsmanship is good, and you won't be sorry if you take all the five thousand gold." But there are too many people who can do the work of going through Yanfu City, and if you want to fight for these wolf-like dart masters, naturally this is the only way, anyway, the trip is short, and a few days will pass, so bear with it. ”
"And what's the matter with you?"
Xu Laoying, who was no longer entangled in the stewardship, glanced at the dark-eyed Kaba and said, "I don't have any cultivation in the mortal realm, and I dare to come to be a guard?"
"I can't, but it's not you. ”
Kaba squeezed his eyebrows and said: "Your swordsmanship is so good, if something happens along the way, you have to protect me, and when I finish this order, I will have the money to pay you back!"
The corners of his mouth twitched, Xu Laoying turned his head, and he didn't want to look at this dark boy who integrated speculation into his blood.
The process of recruiting guards is similar to bidding, but the fat butler, who has already had a tacit understanding with Kaba, naturally will not make a mistake.
After the price of a few dart games was suppressed, all that was left was a group of wandering warriors.
Among the wandering warriors, the tall and handsome Xu Laoying is naturally the most outstanding, and of course, there is the black guy Kaba next to him.
As the steward of the Zhen Mansion, Zhen Pan's eyesight is still okay, and the martial artists who have passed under his nose have not ten thousand, but eight thousand.
But there is no one with the temperament of Xu Laoying, although martial arts is not only based on appearance, but the spirit is outstanding, and the strength is usually not bad.
This also made the fat steward feel relieved, feeling that although there were only two people, Kaba and Xu Laoying, this business route should also be able to go down smoothly.
was about to announce the list of appointments, but the "Mrs. Zhan arrived" from afar made Zhen Pan's fat face tremble.
The only person who was called Mrs. Zhan in Zhen's mansion was naturally Zhen Bei'er, although this person had a bad reputation in Danmu Town, but he had an extraordinary status in the Zhen family.
"Knock on Madame!"
The chubby Zhen Pan "pia" fell to his knees at once, and the people who walked towards the inner courtyard knelt down, their eyes full of fanaticism.
Although the man in Muzhen always wants Zhen Bottler in the back, when this legendary woman really appears, he is still extremely nervous.
People have a herd mentality, especially when they are nervous.
Seeing the butler who had just been snorting and drinking kneeling so reverently, the group of wandering warriors also knelt on one knee in a daze, and chanted to the visitor, "Meet Mrs. Zhan." ”
In the courtyard where he knelt down, only Xu Laoying was standing, and Kaba tried to pull, but he flew but didn't pull, and was glared at.
The Holy Son of the Xu clan is going to kneel to a widow in Tiannan, and the face of the Xihe Holy Land is gone!
Xu Laoying stretched his neck, looked at Zhen Bei'er's coming, and thought secretly in his heart.
How beautiful is the widow who is called the first beauty by Danki Town.
The curious gaze met the noble lady who came slowly, and the two of them were stunned.
But that kind of shock was well hidden, just a shaking god, Mrs. Zhan was like no one, as if she didn't see Xu Lao Ying, who was standing abruptly, and let all the warriors get up.
But Xu Laoying panicked in his heart, this was a real panic, when he was recuperating from his injuries in the Tianchi Atami, he pushed the Tongying Sword Body upwards again.
In addition to the more powerful effect of the Immortal Sword Body itself, his Soul Sense has a certain strange characteristic.
That is, he only needs to look at any woman to understand the desire in the other person's heart.
But man's desires are complex, some are short-term, some are long-term, some are needed now, and some are forgotten over the long years.
Xu Laoying, who got this characteristic, also found that through different guidance and hints, it can even change a woman's short-term desire to some extent.
It's as if you can give up some material things on the premise of satisfying enough spiritual needs.
If you want a beauty in silk and satin, you just need to coax it well, and you can do it with sweet words and ordinary gauze skirts.
In the same way, even a woman who longs for true love can "see" her true heart from the high cost as long as she is ruthless enough to spend money.
The lustful ones are even simpler, no matter how rich or poor you are, no matter what your virtue is, as long as you smile and give some hints, they can throw themselves into their arms and give them what they want.
This change of Tongyu Yi undoubtedly opened a new chapter for the cultivation of Yuanzhou Daozi.
Become a prodigal son who breaks a woman's heart on Danmu Beach, and an undefeated black emperor in love, all by virtue of this evolutionary understanding.
But with the increase in the number of women who read it, Xu Laoying suddenly began to doubt whether there really is love in the world.
Those women who keep saying that they love him are really superficial in front of the ghostly people.
Even Xu Laoying doubted, there was no need to change to the same conditions, knowing that any son of a family beckoned, they could ruthlessly give up their love.
The initial guilt disappeared after discovering this incident, and after that, Xu Laoying specifically looked for those wild bees and butterflies.
Whether it seems noble or innocent, he can tell at a glance which one is a sturdy woman and which one is a slut.
But the glance that met Mrs. Zhan just now made Xu Laoying really shocked.
He was sure that he had never seen this woman in Danmu Town before, but when he looked at her just now, he could clearly see the longing in her heart like a landslide and tsunami in the woman's eyes.
There is no impurity, it is naked, the desire for him.
That desire is not carnal desire, nor is it erotic desire, it is closer to an inner certainty.
It's like a key in the sea of billions of locks to find their own big goal, the kind of ecstasy.
Just a glance, it was ridiculous, Xu Laoying felt uncomfortable.
Although after that glance, Mrs. Zhan looked away, and even pretended to be fine, asking about the work progress of the fat steward.
But Xu Laoying was sure that he was targeted by this woman.
'Well, if you keep an eye on it, you will keep an eye on it. ’
Xu Laoying pouted, it's a big deal to dedicate himself once, who to sleep with is not sleeping.
Xu Laoying, who was unusually single, suddenly corrected his mentality, and watched Mrs. Zhan leave in a hurry.
The good thing about the decision is that he and Kaba didn't have to go through any difficulties and beat all the competitors in various conditions.
In the fat steward's extremely tangled expression, he took over the work of guarding the Zhen family's caravan to Yanfu City.
After Zhen Pan sent the two of them to the side hall to dine with the various stewards of the caravan, they became the Zhen family's guards this time.
After dinner, Zhen Pan returned to Zhen's mansion and was summoned by Mrs. Zhan again.
"Who are the two people who took over the escort mission today?"
The chubby Zhen Pan's facial features wrinkled, thinking that he had secretly taken a kickback exposed, and fell to his knees with a "pia".
"The villain... villain..."
"No matter what method you use, find out all the roots of the two of them. ”
Without looking at the fat steward who was shrunk into a ball on the ground, Zhen Bei'er said quietly: "Also, when the caravan arrives in Yanfu City, tell them that the rest of the commission will be taken from the house." ”
'It's over, Madame really knows. ’
Zhen Pan, who was sure that he had withdrawn the buckle and was exposed, cried and mourned, nodded yes, and then bowed down.
......
The beginning of November 1790 in the Longzhou calendar
The Longxi Alliance is facing the most severe challenge since its establishment, and several elite squads from the main vein of the Evil King Palace are nowhere to be found, and according to the judgment of the Wind Medium genus, there is a high probability that they are coming towards Longxi.
Tang Zhi urgently convened a secret meeting of the heads of the wind media genus in the seven cities, and the content of the meeting was about how to deploy defense, so that the wind media genus could achieve the effect of warning in advance.
