Sword comes

Chapter 980 Also in my heart

The mirage city of the capital of the Daquan Dynasty, in the early morning, after the rain, the willows are swaying, and the clear scenery is in the new spring, when the green and yellow are only half-uniform. A carriage stopped slowly in a street in the west of the capital, and a group of men and women got out of the carriage one after another. Next to it was a secluded lotus pond. A slender woman in brocade clothes walked towards the waterside instead of rushing to her destination. Putting out snow-white jade palms, holding onto the cool bluestone railing, after the rain has passed the jasper sky, the water floats and rounds the leaves.

This woman is more moving than the beauty.

She bent her fingers, wiped her palms, twisted her wrists casually, and turned her head to look. They didn't disturb her view, but just stood at the entrance of the street and waited patiently. Among them was a man with an empty sleeve hanging straight down. , standing next to a woman with a knife that seems to have a gentle temperament, she smiled knowingly, and felt embarrassed that she had to give them a red line. The men and women of the Yao family are not young anymore, and the only one who has nowhere to go is This Mr. Yin of the capital city, just because he saved his life on the battlefield, he ended up lame and missing an arm. Over the years, he has been suspected of breaking the jar. Of course, the younger brother is indeed high-minded. He naturally despises powerful women who come here for his status and titles.

This group of people is Yao Jinzhi, Empress of Daquan.Yao Xianzhi, governor of the capital, and the female cultivator standing beside him, Liu Yi, whose nickname is Yuanyang and whose Taoist name is "Yifu", is now the third-class priest of the Daquan Dynasty. The Jingfu Yinya Office served as Yao Xianzhi's personal entourage. Of course, His Majesty the Emperor was acting for his own benefit, but Liu Yi did not refuse.

The new national teacher Han Guanghu, a native of Jinjiazhou.The chief royal family enshrines Liu Zong, who comes from the Ouhua Blessed Land.The young man Jian Ming, whose Taoist name is Yue Renge, was born in Aquarius Continent, with a magic knife "Famous Spring" under his arm.There is also a woman whose crow's feet can no longer be concealed at the corners of her eyes, Yao Lingzhi, the younger sister of the Empress Daquan, the older sister of the governor of the capital, since she lost that "famous spring", she has completely calmed down and no longer follows each other. The people of the rivers and lakes deal with the green forest hawkers.

Yao Jinzhi was going to a small Taoist temple, and met a former prince who should have called her sister-in-law, Liu Mao, who is now a Longzhou Taoist on the golden jade genealogy of the Ministry of Rites.

The small Taoist temple is called Huanghua Temple, and it is located in the westernmost part of Mirage City.

Yao Jinzhi walked towards the entrance of the street, raised his hands, breathed a sigh of relief, Yao Lingzhi cast a look at his younger brother, and signaled him not to be dumbfounded, and quickly walked ahead to lead the way for His Majesty.

The Daquan Dynasty has always worshiped Taoism, and there are many Taoist temples in the capital. Huanghua Temple is a small Taoist temple with a long history.

Not long after Daquan was established, the Taoist temple built by Emperor Taizong to pray for blessings was enshrined in the Sanguan Dadi, who is respected in the Taoist pedigree.

It is difficult for a slightly larger carriage to pass through those winding and narrow alleys.

Yao Lingzhi walked with His Majesty the Emperor in the dimly lit back alley, and said softly: "Your Majesty, someone from the Supervisor of Rituals and the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites has informed Huanghua Temple that Liu Mao is ready to pick him up today, but he was originally asked Chen time, we are now an hour ahead of time, I don't know where Liu Mao is..."

Yao Jinzhi smiled and said, "Over there at the Huanghua Temple, there are only three people in total, the temple master and the resident Taoist. How can Liu Mao pick him up? It's all up to him."

In fact, Liu Mao, the master of Taoist name "Longzhou", waited at the door early in the morning, put on a clean Taoist robe, held the dust whisk, folded his hands on his abdomen, and closed his eyes to rest his mind.

There are also two children who are reluctant to accompany the master of the temple. They woke up early in the morning, rubbed their eyes, yawned, and were in a daze. The master didn't say who they were going to greet. , is really tiring.

Not long ago, Liu Mao said that he was ready to form an alchemy, and hoped that the imperial court could help arrange a dojo.

On the gate of the Taoist temple, there are two majestic painted statues of Lingguan, which are as tall as a person.

Under the "recommendation" of Mr. Zeng, the credit knife man, Han Guanghu, who served as the national teacher of Daquan in the spring of this year, said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this Liu Mao's aptitude for cultivation is not bad. Opportunity to form a pill."

As long as you don't compare yourself with those unreasonable young monks, if this His Royal Highness, the third prince of the former Daquan dynasty, can really form a golden core in the age of forty, he can be called a "genius".

Now it depends on His Majesty's thoughts, whether he intends to let the Taoist of Longzhou jump into the Dragon Gate, or whether he intends to let the third prince Liu Mao stay in the Dragon Gate realm for the rest of his life.

Maybe this answer needs to wait until His Majesty has met that "little uncle" from the past, or maybe His Majesty has already come to a conclusion in his heart, and today's "staying" in Huanghua Temple is just a formality.

It is said that in Huanghuaguan, Liu Mao will send green words and green chapters written by himself, Sanguan handwriting and festival talismans to the palace every year, and His Majesty will also donate them to some civil and military veterans who are still working in the court. The meaning is very simple, that is, Liu Mao took this opportunity to help His Majesty prove that Liu Mao, the son of the late Emperor Liu of Daquan, is still alive and well. The new dynasty made a little effort.

Unknowingly, as they walked, Yao Lingzhi and the Korean teacher changed positions. She walked at the end of the alley with her master Liu Zong and the young man Jianming.

Yao Xianzhi, who was walking in front, limped, slowed down, turned his head and said with a smile: "National teacher, this Liu Mao, is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Now that I am a Taoist priest, it is not my turn to be the governor of the capital. Liu Mao should also take care of my sister's Jianghu affairs. In the 12th year of the Zhen Dynasty, Dashukuodizhi, a tome of more than 400 volumes, in fact, the chief executive officer in charge of the outline is actually Liu Mao.”

"In the past few years, I have been staring at him, and I am quite honest. Moreover, Liu Mao is also a master of arithmetic. There are many arithmetic works on the bookshelf. At first I had some thoughts, but now I am not pretending, I really intend to practice Taoism with peace of mind. Last time I came here, I also said some heart-to-heart words with me. Of course, the words were a bit harsh, anyway, Liu Mao He likes to talk to people who he doesn't like from the bottom of his heart, and deliberately talk in a weird way."

Yao Lingzhi carefully glanced at His Majesty's face, seeing nothing, quickened his pace, stretched out his hand and pinched the younger brother's ribs, reminding him not to speak falsely about Liu Mao.

Yao Xianzhi hesitated for a moment, but he still didn't say what was really in his heart. Mr. Chen said that Liu Mao is really disheartened. As long as he operates properly, maybe the Daquan Dynasty can have one more in the next hundred years. Consecrated to the Nascent Soul that helps to extend the country's destiny.It is precisely because of Mr. Chen's judgment that Yao Xianzhi dared to say that today. Otherwise, after being the governor for so long, would he really be regarded as a poor man?

Yao Jinzhi smiled, noncommittal.

Yao Xianzhi said softly, "Here we are."

Turning to the corner of an alley, on the side of Huanghuaguan, Liu Mao calmed down, held a whisk in his hand, and walked to the center of the alley. Mao, greet His Majesty the Emperor."

After Liu Mao got up, he performed the first salute again, "Liu Mao has met the national teacher, Mr. Fu Yin."

Yao Jinzhi smiled and said, "There's no need to be too polite. Liu Mao, it seems like we haven't seen each other for many years?"

Compared with the ambitious, rebellious and rude eldest prince, Yao Jinzhi actually doesn't have much personal grievances towards this Liu Mao.

The two little Taoist boys in the Taoist temple were dumbfounded on the spot, their minds were muddled, and they forgot all the etiquette, not to mention what etiquette they knew, the master had never taught them in normal times.

Fortunately, it seemed that His Majesty the emperor was not angry. Instead, Yao Xianzhi put his hand on the head of a little Taoist boy, and said jokingly, "Why are you so skinny? Where's your usual vigor?"

Liu Mao's expression became more and more respectful, and he no longer judged the head by Taoism, but bowed and saluted as a courtier, and said softly: "Your Majesty, it has been more than ten years since the last time, as fast as a flick of a finger."

Han Guanghu sized up the temple master. Liu Mao, as a remnant of the previous dynasty, was able to live under His Majesty's eyes until today, and it is not without reason.

After entering the Taoist temple, Yao Lingzhi temporarily proposed to go to the main hall of the Taoist temple to pay homage. As far as everyone could see, there was only a dining hall and a bedroom hall. Because it was built by the royal order, although the Taoist temple is small, the specifications are not low. The dining hall is deep, spacious and solemn. The light is slightly dim, and the Nuan Pavilion is no more than three feet away from the hall. The space between the two is covered by a yellow dragon curtain, and a luxurious lichen is laid, and two antique chairs are placed.It's just that the sacrifices on the altar are simple, there are only three pieces of meat in the gui, and a few grains of millet, and the ritual utensils are simple, mostly vermilion wooden utensils.

Liu Mao immediately fetched an incense tube, and when His Majesty twisted out three sticks of incense, everyone walked out of the hall lightly.

After offering incense, His Majesty the Emperor did not leave the hall immediately, but pushed aside the yellow curtain and went to the Nuan Pavilion to look for a while.

In fact, Liu Mao's lineage, in the royal genealogy of the former Daquan Liu family, does not belong to the descendants of Emperor Gaozu, but the descendants of Emperor Taizong.

Therefore, Yao Jinzhi deliberately placed Liu Mao in this Taoist temple built by Emperor Taizong, and it cannot be said that she had no intention.

Yao Jinzhi stepped out of the threshold, and instead of going to the more spacious living room, he said to sit in Liu Mao's study room. There are many people and the room is small, especially the study room has only two chairs, and it looks like a brand new woodworker.

Liu Mao remained expressionless.

Before cultivating Taoism, you were His Royal Highness the prince, the hall was full of luxury, wine and cups were staggered, the imperial red candle was as thick as an arm, and the night was as white as day, and the master didn't think it was lively enough.

After cultivating the Tao, when the two of them lived together, they felt noisy.

With sharp eyes, Han Guang caught a glimpse of a simple framed small print on the wall of the study room, which was copied from the Taoist classic "Huang Ting Jing".But if you look closely, there are two kinds of handwriting. The last sixteen characters are "separate ways and body, change form at will, make up for real people, and heaven and earth live together".

After putting his hands down, the old man looked carefully for a while, and commented in a low voice: "Latecomers win."

Yao Xianzhi was overjoyed, moved a chair, and planned to invite His Majesty to take a seat, but Yao Jinzhi let him sit down, and the Lord Fu Yin was not polite, and after sitting down, he lightly clenched his fist and beat his leg. When it rained and snowed, this old leg Just rebelling, after these years of recuperation, he has actually gotten better a lot. When he was the uncle of that country a few years ago, that was called suffering.After Mr. Chen gave him two Yuhua pills carefully refined from Qingjingshan Qinghu Palace, after Yao Xianzhi took one, the effect was very good, it was immediate.Mr. Chen also joked at the time that the guy has strong firepower and his butt can make pancakes.

His Majesty's eyes wandered randomly, and the two chicken-spacing pens in the pen container must be Liu Mao's special brushes for copying scriptures.

In fact, Yao Jinzhi knows every pen, every book, and even where they are placed in this Huanghua Temple, especially in this study.

For example, the two chicken-spacing brushes inscribed with "Quiet" and "Bright and Clean" in the pen container, in fact, these were the ones that were kept together with the "Astronomical Phenomenon and Stars Map" that was banned by the imperial court when they were "ransacked" earlier. For Liu Mao.

She kindly advised the young viewer of Huanghua Temple that in a "quiet" place, one must have a "bright and pure" heart that matches it.

In addition to cultivating Taoism, if you have nothing to do, you can also read books such as "Astronomical List of Stars".

Since you are a cultivator, look up at the sky more often, and stop focusing on the things on the ground.

As for Liu Mao's understanding, Yao Jinzhi didn't care at all. Anyway, the Taoist Longzhou of Huanghuaguan, if he did something wrong, he would end up with whatever it should be.

Could it be that Her Majesty the Emperor, who has already spared his life, should be generous and kind to him again and again?

Yao Jinzhi moved to the bookshelf, took out the forbidden book, squinted her eyes instantly, and flipped through it quickly. In the slightly crowded but silent room, only the pages were rattling.

On the title page and the end page of the book, there are two side-by-side seals on each seal, "Infinite thinking" and "Take a step back". "Contentment" and "insufficient knowledge".

Yao Jinzhi casually put the books back in place, turned around, stretched out his hand to the priest in Taoist robes, pressed twice, with gentle eyes, and motioned Liu Mao to sit on the last chair.

Liu Mao hesitated for a moment, seeing that Yao Jinzhi's expression remained the same, Liu Mao had no choice but to sit down and raise his body and spirit. The soft and weak woman in front of him was indeed a majestic emperor.

The young Jianming folded his arms around his chest and leaned against the door. It was very strange. He originally wanted to return the treasure of the town under his arm to the Yao family in Daquan, but this beautiful emperor did not take it back, but casually I just gave it to myself. In exchange, Jianming will serve as the third-class enshrinement of the court's Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and will specifically participate in the search for mountains in several small vassal states. You can give up your status as a consecrator and leave the Daquan Dynasty anywhere.

Yao Jinzhi walked to the desk, stretched out two fingers, tapped the pen holder lightly, and said with a smile, "Guardian Liu, do you know that now our Daquan Manufacturing Office has newly set up a Department of Writing, among which there are craftsmen who specialize in making The Jiju pen is located at the Hehua Bridge not far from Huanghuaguan. It is next to the Baoquan Bureau of the Ministry of Households and the Cangchang Yamen. After looking at several official forms that were submitted, I am not very satisfied with them, and I always feel that they are not meaningful."

The chicken-spacing pens of the Daquan Dynasty are most suitable for writing lower-case letters, and they are famous all over the world. The dignitaries and literati from all over the world used to like to buy some chicken-spacing pens, paired with the plum paper produced in Yunku Fudi, as a poem for correspondence.

And this transaction is the joint venture between the Daquan Ministry of Industry and the Qingping Sword Sect, but using a suggestion from the other side to change the "official system" to "imperial system".

With just one word difference, the price quadrupled directly.

As one of the allies who excavated Dadu, Yuguizong in the south agreed to order [-] chicken distances with the Daquan Dynasty, including the entire Yunku blessed land, and several immortal ferry crossings including Bichengdu. Pen.

Liu Mao said cautiously: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, what is the price of this chicken distance pen?"

Yao Jinzhi smiled and said, "One imperial chicken distance pen, one snowflake coin. The Shenzhuan Peak of Yuguizong has already reserved [-] pens with us, and the amount of the deposit alone is not small. , That's why I'm in such a difficult situation. I can't let the Secretary of the Office of the Office of the Manufacturing Office come up with some poor-standard chicken-spacing pens and use them to fool Yu Guizong. This matter can be big or small. , it’s not about getting money back.”

Liu Mao was speechless for a moment, stealing money?

In the past, there were many types of chicken-spacing pens in Daquan. If Liu Mao remembers correctly, leaving aside those privately-made and extravagant chicken-spacing pens, only the ones sold in batches on the market, among which the best craftsmanship and the highest price are also But more than a dozen taels of silver.

Royal system?Looking at the territory of a continent, which imperial court's inner court manufacturing office can make [-] writing brushes in one go?

Yao Jinzhi saw Taoist Longzhou with a hesitant expression on his face. She seemed to be in a good mood. She took out a pen from the pen holder, quickly flipped it a few times between her fingers, and looked at the inscription. It was "clear and clear". Slightly raising her gaze, she glanced at Liu Mao, who was always sitting upright, and she casually threw the chicken-spacing pen back into the pen holder, and said: "After you leave the customs, if you can successfully form the alchemy, don't practice too purely. , you might as well stabilize your realm while cultivating your mind in the world of mortals. According to what you say on the mountain, setting foot in the world of mortals is also a practice. For example, the imperial court is about to issue new money. Go around more, and I will ask the Ministry of Criminal Justice to give you a suitable official status later, don't worry, it must be a noble and idle job."

Liu Mao got up quickly, bowed to His Majesty the Emperor to express his gratitude, "I am a humble minister, thank you for your kindness."

Yao Jinzhi smiled and said: "Then here I wish Guanzhu Liu the success of his alchemy. Regarding the matter of the dojo and the candidate for the guard, Yao Fu Yin will help you finalize the result within three days at the latest."

Liu Mao turned slightly sideways again, and expressed his thanks to Mr. Fuyin.

Yao Xianzhi doesn't fight with each other, we get along in private, why haven't you been so polite?

Yao Jinzhi walked out of the room first.

Yao Lingzhi left a gift on the table.

After Liu Mao sent the group out of the gate of the Taoist temple, he gently tugged on Yao Xianzhi's sleeve.

Yao Xianzhi stopped in his tracks, lowered his voice, and asked doubtfully, "Is there something wrong?"

Liu Mao asked softly: "Your Majesty, the forbidden book in the Taoist temple is not in line with the court's etiquette. Can you ask your majesty to order someone to bring back this "Astronomical List of Stars" and hand it over to the library."

Yao Xianzhi laughed and cursed, but still agreed, and turned to follow the group, the Fu Yin slandered endlessly, this Liu Mao is really a fine person.

Going back the same way and walking in the alley, Han Guanghu frowned and said, "Your Majesty, Han Jiangshu from the Wan Yao Sect, what is she thinking? The deposit has been paid, and so far there is no monk who has joined the imperial court, so you are so sure that we can't find another buyer for her Three Mountains Paradise?"

Yao Jinzhi frowned slightly, "It's indeed a strange thing."

Han Jiangshu approached her before, and Wan Yaozong was going to order a cross-continental ferry with the Daquan Dynasty. On the contrary, it is easy to talk like a person who asks for something.

Han Guanghu sneered and said: "Your Majesty, if according to my intention, if Han Jiangshu does not reply in another month, Wan Yaozong will not want to go back with this deposit. At that time, no matter who is looking for it Come to the door, and I will be responsible for reasoning for His Majesty, let alone a Jade Realm, even if her suzerain father, Han Yushu, came to the door in person, he would never be able to win favor with me."

Liu Zong sighed, people are more angry than others, this is the confidence of a martial artist in the end.

Otherwise, even His Majesty the Emperor would not dare to urge Wan Yaozong too much, but just asked the Ministry of Rites to send a letter to the contact person designated by Han Jiangshu, but it was a pity that the bullshit went into the sea.

The Wanyao Sect is originally the Immortal Mansion with the word head of the Zong. According to the calculations of the Daquan Dynasty, the Wanyao Sect will most likely not be blocked by the Confucian Temple with the military achievements made by spending money, so it will definitely be owned within a few years. A lower sect.

It's just that for some reason, Han Jiangshu, as the speaker of Wan Yaozong, disappeared after he appeared in Tongyezhou.

The matter of the intercontinental ferry "Lei Che" booked with the Daquan court has been stranded.

Yao Jinzhi smiled and said: "That's it. This Wan Yao Sect, no matter how powerful the sect is, it can't be more than a word of reason."

Previously, the Daquan Dynasty was half-buying and half-manufacturing, and owned the first intercontinental ferry, "Luxianzhi", and the most expensive intercontinental ferry was the blueprint listed as the top secret by various sects. If you only bought one The cost of the ferry itself is actually not so high that the price is staggeringly high. The reason why the sect in Aiaizhou is willing to sell the blueprint and a boat embryo is because

First, the Daquan Dynasty will sign a contract with them and will not disclose the blueprints to the outside world. Furthermore, the follow-up maintenance of certain key parts of the ferry, with the current strength of the Ministry of Industry of the Daquan Dynasty, even if it has the blueprints, it is still unable to repair it. Continue to maintain long-term cooperation with the seller, and the other party also hopes that by selling the ferry, it is tantamount to helping him own the largest "ferry" in Tongyezhou. In the end, every brand-new ferry built according to the drawings after the Daquan court, that Zong The doors are divided.

The Daquan Yao family plans to build two more transcontinental ferries in the next ten to 20 years, named "Emeiyue" and "Leiche" respectively. Daquan will keep one for itself and sell one. As a way to fill the treasury hole for purchasing blueprints and building three transcontinental ferries, this "thunder car", the two immortal mansions that are currently interested, in addition to Wan Yaozong, and the Jinding Temple in the north, Baozhen Taoist Yin Miaofeng, Shao Yuanran , this pair of Taoist masters and apprentices were both first-class priests of the Daquan Dynasty. The chief priest of the Jinding Temple, Lu Ying, had contacted Daquan, but the asking price of the Jinding Temple was [-]% lower than that of the Wanyao Sect.

Yao Xianzhi bumped Liu Zong lightly with his shoulder, and winked at the old man.

Liu Zong chuckled, pretending to be stupid on purpose.

Seeing that Yao Xianzhi was still there non-stop, Liu Zong turned his head and looked at the female cultivator who was walking side by side with his apprentice behind him.

Jiang was still old and hot, and Mr. Fuyin was defeated immediately.

Because according to Liu Zong's proposal, Daquan kept two intercontinental ferries "Luxianzhi" and "Emeiyue". continent.After the second Emeiyue was completed, it joined forces with the Liu family of Aiaizhou to mine the extreme northern ice field, passing through Nanbasuozhou, Zhongtu Shenzhou and Aiaizhou, and more than a dozen sects, fairy houses and villages including Longxiang Sword Sect. The Yamashita Dynasty and a total of sixteen large Xianjia ferries formed an alliance and signed detailed terms for the ferry to berth.

Regarding this matter, the discussion in His Majesty's Imperial Study has already passed.

It's just that the discerning people who are qualified to participate in the discussion are well aware that the person who can give such a plan is definitely not Liu Zong, the chief priest.

And after Han Guanghu became the national teacher, the plan was changed again, mainly because of the change of the route, he could take the commercial route of Luhua Island, Yulongzong, Fuyaozhou and Jinjiazhou.

After all, Han Guanghu is very prestigious in Jinjiazhou, and there are very impressive connections and incense on the mountain and down the mountain.

Han Guanghu didn't think Liu Zong's plan was brilliant, but he was full of praise for Liu Zong's long-term vision and insight.

Because according to Liu Zong's suggestion, the Daquan court must kill all the sects and immortal mansions that the ferry passes through, and the major ferries of the dynasty. The price will be finalized early, and the terms with each family will be signed with extremely long terms.Nowadays, most of the cross-continental ferries are requisitioned by the Confucian Temple.

For each ferry to maintain operation and ensure profitability, it is very necessary for cross-continental ferries such as "Luxianzhi" and "Emeiyue" that have not been transferred by the Confucian Temple to land on the shore to drive popularity and stabilize financial resources.Therefore, during this period of time, the Daquan Dynasty can use a price that is much lower than in previous years to sign an agreement with Ferry.

Therefore, the longer the time limit is now, it is equal to the tolls and road money that the Daquan Dynasty will hand over to the ferry every year in the future. In this link, the more money will be saved.

Saving money is earning money, this simple truth, everyone understands.

After Yao Jinzhi weighed the pros and cons, it was really difficult to choose for a while. After thinking about it, why not build another transcontinental ferry?

She even chose a name, Huozhulin.

Yao Lingzhi has long been a married woman, the woman who most yearns for the Jianghu, but married a scholar of a scholarly family, and now has both children, she is the first of the "Zhi" generation to get married.

Previously, Chen Pingan entrusted Yao Xianzhi to hand over two red envelopes to her children. Not long ago, during New Year's greetings in the first lunar month, the younger brother's action completely stunned the two children at once.

In the past, the two children were always suspicious of uncle Yao Xianzhi's many claims. Uncle, are you really familiar with Chen Yinguan?Bragging about not making drafts, it’s actually just a nodding acquaintance who chatted for a few days, right?

But ever since they received a red envelope from Yao Xianzhi, now that the two children see Yao Xianzhi again, their respect and salutes are in a mess, especially when they learn that their uncle has become a guest official of the Qingping Sword Sect Ancestral Hall, the eyes of the two children are shining , I adore my uncle more and more, and I flatter my uncle when they meet. Uncle, do you want to rub your shoulders and tap your legs?Uncle, I haven't seen you for a few days, you look younger and more handsome again.Uncle, let me be your lobbyist for Sister Yuanyang. If you don't object, I'll just call you aunt...

After all, for children, among the many gods on the mountain, the sword fairy is the most fascinating, not one of them.

And that young hermit official from the Great Wall of Sword Qi is another sword fairy among sword fairies.

In fact, whether it is His Majesty the Emperor, Yao Jinzhi, or even Grandpa, they are all happy to see this matter come to fruition, but Mr. Fu Yin has not been enlightened, so it has been delayed.

Liu Yi, whose boudoir name is Yuanyang, Taoist name "Yifu", is a native of Daquan, and his family is a local prefect. He is 63 years old and lives in Longmen.

Her appearance is young, which means that her aptitude for cultivation is excellent.

Previously, Liu Yi had risked his life in the two battlefields of Jingji and Mirage City. He was very courageous, but he had a great strategy. The female cultivator was at the Dragon Gate Realm, and the battle achievements she had accumulated were as good as those of Jindan.

But in the end Liu Yi only asked for a third-class enshrinement from the Daquan court. In fact, according to his military achievements, the second-class enshrinement was more than enough.

Some things, if a woman doesn't object, it's an obvious statement, how can she be bold?

Yao Lingzhi looked at Liu Yi beside him, and smiled again and again.

Liu Yi just pretended not to know, but quietly blushed.

Yao Lingzhi felt unworthy for her, so he stepped forward quickly and kicked Yao Xian in front of him, causing the latter to stagger, and quickly stretched out his hand to support the wall. Yao Xianzhi turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yao Lingzhi said angrily, "You can control it?"

Yao Xianzhi smiled and said: "Sister, you kicked a cripple for no reason, is there any reason? I have to talk to my nephew and niece later, and see who they help when the time comes."

Yao Lingzhi snorted, "Cripple? A fool is right."

No wonder I heard that on the other side of the ferry, my grandfather had a conversation with Mr. Chen. One said that Yao Xianzhi was not good enough for a certain girl, and the other agreed that he felt the same way.

Yao Jinzhi ignored the squabbling behind and continued to discuss business matters with the old master, "The secretary of the study can't just rely on the sale of pens, there are also some old inkstone pits that have been banned for many years in the territory of the Daquan Dynasty. To put it another way, the stone materials in the new pit are not necessarily inferior to the old pit. For example, there is a Tao River on the southern border. When I was young, I often went to the inkstone pit with Lingzhi and Xianzhi to play. Ruobiyu’s stone material for making inkstones, in my opinion, is not inferior to other famous inkstones, and has a history of more than 200 years, but it has been abandoned for many years, and it is located in the frontier, so it is really hard to get.”

Yao Xianzhi nodded and said, "It's just that the main mines are all located at the bottom of the Tao River. If you don't use a certain number of Qi trainers, it will be too difficult for ordinary masons to mine. The biggest problem is that there is no special book to describe them." , in our Daquan, the Taohe inkstone is still famous, let alone sold to other countries. Otherwise, the Meizikeng we used to visit when we were young, and the green in front of the temple and red in the back of the temple, the stone texture is sincere It’s not bad, but it’s a pity that everyone on the mountain and down the mountain likes to emphasize the past and devalue the present, otherwise, if the price is right and the quantity is large, the imperial court only needs to continue mining in the old pit, and it will be a considerable profit.”

Liu Zong said with a smile: "I heard that hundreds of years ago, there was a book "Dongtian Qinglu Collection" dedicated to advocating the famous inkstones of old pits in Tongyezhou. It listed more than a dozen kinds of precious inkstones? Not as good as our imperial court Here, the government will re-engrave a new version, find a few pens with better literary talents in the Imperial Academy, and secretly add an article "Taohe Green Inkstone" to it, and rewrite how good the Taohe inkstone is and how it is mined. Difficult, add a few ghosts and fairy tales, rich scholars like to emphasize the past and devalue the present? Isn’t this very ‘ancient’.”

Yao Jinzhi turned his head and glanced at the chief priest.

Yao Lingzhi was even more amazed, the old master has entered the realm of remote travel, and he even has the business experience?

Yao Xianzhi suffocated his laughter, secretly amused, and stretched out his thumb to Old Man Liu, saying yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Han Guanghu thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "It's a profitable business, it can be done, it works properly, and it's famous. In addition to this continent, the special products of Daquan, including the cross-continental ferry and chicken distance pens, are sold to other continents. It’s a real fortune.”

The old master once again looked at the enshrining of Liu Zong with admiration.

Liu Zong twitched his beard and smiled, thinking back in the past, when he was young, the nickname "Little Zhu Lian" in the world was not for nothing.

On the other side of Huanghuaguan, two little Taoist boys squatted under the eaves, chattering and jumping for joy.His Majesty the Emperor is so beautiful!

In the study room, Liu Mao opened the small brocade box on the table. Inside was a piece of round ink made by the imperial court, washed with gold. There is a five-element diagram of "gold, wood, water, fire and earth" painted on the back of the ink.

Liu Maochang let out a sigh of relief and had to admit that he was able to tide over the difficulties this time, thanks to the person surnamed Chen.

Approaching the carriage, His Majesty the Emperor took a detour and walked back to the railing of the lotus pond where he stopped earlier. She was silent for a moment, and asked the old teacher beside her, "I heard that the latest debate on the three religions will start soon?"

Han Guanghu nodded, "Because of that war, it was delayed for several years."

Yao Jinzhi hesitated for a moment, and asked, "As the national teacher, can I attend the debate?"

Yao Jinzhi nodded, seeming a little regretful.

Everyone has something to think about, far apart.

Yao Jinzhi's eyes were also blurred and his expression was in a trance.People are far away, and they are also in their hearts.
