Chapter 116 Two big shopkeepers (the baron leader of Shushan)
After chasing the light and sending the family away, the swordsman in white suddenly turned back and whispered: "I'll tell you a secret. If you feel that 4,998 gold is too expensive, you can also purchase semen-preserving pills. One pill only costs 290.
Eight wen, you heard it right, one elixir has two hundred and ninety-eight wen, and the effect is equally good!"
The candlelight was rekindled, the brightness returned to the palace, and the bell was ringing to join the army. The former Taoist priest, Xiaozhu, the heads of various families, and the major shopkeepers all looked at each other, and the scene was very deserted for a while.
Gu Zuo was a little embarrassed. It seemed that the public's acceptance had not reached that point yet, so he was probably a little ahead of his time. For today's drama, he specially refined a small and simple magic circle, and bought three luminous pearls, which cost a lot of money.
It was expensive, but the results were not as expected.
Liu Wu's family at the rear were complaining to each other. Liu's sister-in-law criticized her husband: "Gu Gu's master has said it many times. In the end, when you go up, you have to go down. Can it be better? You see, the effect is not good."
Are you ready?"
Liu Wu glared: "Just tell me, four thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight yuan, you have to say four thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight yuan. If I hadn't suppressed it with my inner strength, your offer would have scared people away."
!”
Then he dragged the little girl over to criticize: "Daddy was injured. You just knelt down and took a look and then said I was going to die. Is that reasonable? Can you be more serious?"
The little girl pouted, tears welling up in her eyes.
Ding Jiugu is the behind-the-scenes technical support person. She controls the raising and lowering of the display mirror in the magic circle, the light chasing of night pearls, the flying knives, etc. At this moment, she comes over to blast people away: "Brother Liu, Sister-in-law Liu, get out quickly, the front
I almost heard it.”
Sister-in-law Liu asked: "How are the sales of the elixir going?"
Ding Jiugu sighed and said: "It's not very good. We sold twelve Wuwei Dihuang Pills, but the Essence Preserving Pills are cheap and sell well. Several big drug stores have purchased some, and there are almost more than a hundred pills."
Mrs. Liu's sadness turned into joy: "That's not bad, there are a hundred strings in total."
It can be sold for one hundred guan. It can be said that Zhong Canjun gave him face. He took the lead in buying it in the name of Hu Si, which made everyone follow suit and place orders.
Yuan Daochang and Xiaozhu also placed orders, but it was mostly for the reason of friendly sponsorship.
Gu Zuo is not in a hurry. The strategy of low-price competition is here. As long as the efficacy is good after trial, he will definitely not worry about sales. If it doesn't work, he can continue to reduce the price!
The elixir press conference ended and the congratulators left one after another. Gu Zuo first sent Zhong Canjun away, then went to various sects in Yuanhe and major drug stores in the county and city. Then he chatted with Xiaozhu and Yuan Taoist Priest for a few words, and they also left the mountain.
Unknowingly, Gengjin Mountain became clean again. When Gu Zuo looked back, only Mr. Zhong Da, the shopkeeper of Profit Bank, and Mr. Zhong Er, the shopkeeper of Spring and Autumn Pawn were left.
Just as I was wondering why these two people didn't leave, I heard Mr. Zhong Da whisper: "There is something, let's talk about it."
Gu Zuo understood and invited the two of them to take a walk in the woods in the mountains, talking while walking.
Mr. Zhong Da said: "I remember that Master Gu arrived at Heishanzhao in August last year. I heard from the third elder..."
"Third Elder?"
"Oh, Zhong Canjun, he ranks third in the Spirit Beast Department, and everyone calls him the Third Elder."
"I see, I would like to ask, Mr. Big and Mr. Second, what are your positions in the Spiritual Beast Department?"
Mr. Zhong Er said: "There are three great elders of the Spiritual Beast Department and six incense masters. The two of us are incense masters, and we are all relatives of the third elder."
After saying this, Gu Zuo understood that the Spiritual Beast Department was a three-legged force, and Zhong Shenjun was one of them.
Mr. Zhong Da continued: "I heard from the third elder that Master Gu knows Taoist Master Wu Shanjing of Longquan Academy?"
Gu Zuo had already had a hunch that the reason why Sihu Junjun cared so much about him was probably related to Wu Shanjing.
He and Daochang Wu had never met before. He showed off to Zhong Shenjun that day in order to get better care. But the care Zhong Shenjun gave him was far beyond his expectation, and he never made any request for this matter.
Gu Zuoru drank mellow wine, and the more he drank, the more intoxicated he became. He almost thought that he and Zhong Canjun were really close.
Until this moment, what was supposed to come finally came.
At this moment, it is even more important to be tough. You must not be weak in your momentum. But you cannot be tough casually. The more full your words are, the bigger the bubbles will appear and the more vain you will look.
Gu Zuo smiled and nodded without saying anything.
Mr. Zhong Da immediately said: "Taoist Wu arrived at Heishanzhao in July last year and left on the seventh day of August, just missing the owner Gu."
Gu Zuo nodded: "Yes, it's a pity that I couldn't meet him. I originally wanted to go to Luofu County to visit him, but he has been busy with the preparations for the gym and has never been able to do so. I hope he doesn't blame me, haha."
Mr. Zhong Da said: "Now that the gym has been established, the master of the gym should have time, right?"
Gu Zuo asked back: "Mr. Da, do you have something to ask of Director Wu?"
Mr. Zhong Da said: "Everyone in the world is envious of our southern Xinjiang for being granted the imperial edict and becoming a state. It seems to have infinite scenery, but in fact it is extremely stressful. Not to mention other things, just a tax is like a heavy boulder, weighing on our heads every year.
, it is hard to breathe. Five years ago, the imperial court and the Chongxuan Office determined the taxes and taxes for the third time among the six imperial edicts. Our Heishan imperial edict ranked fourth, paying 300,000 yuan to the imperial court every year and 200,000 souls to Longquan Court.
The stones that fell on each person’s head were three Guan and two spiritual stones, nearly three times that of the inland states and counties.”
Mr. Zhong Er interjected: "Everyone knows that Nanzhao is adjacent to southern Xinjiang and it is easy to make a fortune, but it is not easy to make a fortune. How many people die every year?"
Mr. Zhong Da said: "Six years ago, a beast tide broke out in southern Xinjiang. Our Heishan imperial edict, located in the far south, bore the brunt and suffered the greatest losses. Five years ago, both the imperial court and Longquan Taoist temple reduced Heishan's taxes by 50%. Last year, Taoist priest Wu
Visit Heishan and prepare to restore the amount of spiritual stone payment to 200,000. This is an extremely heavy burden, and Heishan is unable to pay it."
Gu Zuo thought in his mind, not daring to agree or refuse. He was thinking hard about what to do. While thinking about it, he asked: "What do you mean, Mr. Da?"
Mr. Zhong Da said: "It's not my intention, it's Zhong Shenjun's intention, and it's also the intention of the entire Black Mountain Edict. I hope Taoist Wu can reduce it by one. We still pay the previous half payment. We also know that it is impossible and unreasonable, but
Suddenly restored to its original state, Heishan Zhao has not recovered from the loss after all, and it is suspected of fishing on a dry lake. We hope to be able to pay the amount of 150,000."
Gu Zuo sighed and said, "Why do you rely on me for such a big event?"
Mr. Zhong Da spread his hands and said: "There is no way. It is difficult to contact Taoist Master Wu. We have tried many ways. Later, we visited Luofu County many times, hoping that he would be accommodating, but he did not even see us. I heard that not only
In our Montenegro, Yongchang, which was hit by the disaster six years ago, did not tolerate the Tonghai Erzhao at all. Hearing that Duan Biejia of Yongchang rushed to Luofu County in person to pay him a visit, he knew the news in advance and hid in surprise. Then
