Two hundred miles to the southwest from Heishan County, there are twelve peaks stretching and surrounding each other. It is the enclave of the Dongting Sect in Heishan, the twelve authentic sects in the world. Because the main mountain of the Dongting Sect is located in Wushan, this enclave was named Nanwu Mountain.

When opening up Southern Xinjiang, the Dongting faction arrived relatively late and invested more conservatively. When Southern Xinjiang received the imperial edict, the land they occupied was not enough to enclose the country, and they were unwilling to unite with the eight tribes of Montenegro, so there was no such thing in each imperial edict.

Their number.

But after all, it was a major sect in the world. Under their active operation, the imperial court and the Chongxuan Office did not include these twelve peaks in the Black Mountain Edict. Instead, they set them out separately and gave them the name of Southern Wu State.

The governor of Southern Wu Prefecture was led by the prince from the DPRK, but the posts below Sima and below were appointed by the Dongting faction themselves. The tax payment was approved to be 10,000 guan each year, and the spiritual stone payment was 5,000 yuan. In essence, it was a state within the scope of the Black Mountain Edict.

The Kingdom of China.

It's just that this place is really not popular. Except for Dongting Benshan who sent people here, there are no other people. Therefore, the Dongting Sect doesn't have any Sima, don't drive, Liu Cao, they just use this place as a elixir plantation.

to operate.

Due to the unique conditions in southern Xinjiang, the medicine gardens opened by the Dongting Sect in the mountains can still grow a lot of good medicinal materials, and the income from selling medicinal materials can also allow them to complete half of the tax. However, after the outbreak of the beast tide six years ago, let

The Dongting Sect's confidence in maintaining this enclave was seriously shaken.

Mr. Zhong Er took out a map and spread it out on the wooden table in the bamboo pavilion. The three people gathered around the table and looked at the map carefully.

Mr. Zhong Er pointed to a place one foot and three inches south of Heishan County and drew a circle on it with his finger: "That's right here!"

Gu Zuo saw the words "Southern Wuzhou" written on it and asked, "How big is this place?"

Mr. Zhong Er said: "Sixty miles long, fifty miles wide, covering an area of ​​1.1 million acres."

Gu Zuozhuo understood immediately after thinking about it: "It's not cost-effective."

Gu Zuo bought the Gengjin Mountain based on ten acres, which was the price of sixteen miles of land in Linheishan County. Of course, there was also the factor of Zhong Shenjun's discount; Yuan Taoist priest bought Pingtai Villa, which produces Yuanyang grass.

, is the usual price for fifty acres. Nanwu Prefecture is more than 200 miles away from Heishan County, which is farther than Gengjin Mountain but closer than Pingtai Mountain. What is this price?

If this land belongs to the Heishan imperial edict, assuming that the Dongting sect acquires it at a consistent price of 30 acres, they will only need to pay more than 30,000 guan at a time, which is only equivalent to their two years of taxes.

How should the taxes be paid after the land is acquired? According to the rules of the Black Mountain Edict, fifty guan should be paid every year! And the initial preparation fee can be deducted for fifteen years.

If the enclave is run according to this method, the Dongting sect can earn half of the tax every year, which is nearly 10,000 yuan!

The difference is that one is operated according to states and counties, and the other is operated according to sects.

Therefore, after experiencing the impact of the beast tide, it was inevitable for the Dongting Sect to choose to transfer the Nanwu Mountain. They had not been able to obtain benefits for a long time in twenty years. The expected Nanwu Prefecture had its name in vain, and if it did not transfer it, it would be lost.

What to do?

Mr. Zhong Er said: "The Dongting Sect has been wanting to take over Nanwu Mountain for a long time, but no one is willing to take over. This account is easy to settle. Whoever takes over will lose blood."

Gu Zuo asked: "Even Heishan Zhao is not willing to take over?"

Mr. Zhong Er said: "Who wants the tax of 10,000 guans and 5,000 spiritual stones for nothing? As for the land, the Heishan imperial edict is everywhere. Here, the land is not worth much."

The land in Heishanzhao is indeed not very valuable, and Gu Zuo completely agrees with this.

Mr. Zhong Er paused and continued: "But it's different now. A vein of spirit stone was discovered there."

In fact, since he first heard about the discovery of Lingshi veins in Nanwu Mountain from Taoist Priest Yuan, the place name Nanwu Mountain has appeared in his ears from time to time in the past six months. Even when the Yuanhe system sects communicated,

It has been mentioned many times, but Gu Zuo has never had any thoughts about it and has never cared about it.

What he heard the most was the price of the mining rights of the Lingshi vein. Today this company prepared 20,000 guan, and tomorrow that company announced that it would invest 30,000 guan. In a few days, a certain sect planned to invest 35,000 guan.

When everyone was talking, the focus was on envy, jealousy, and hatred. Gu Zuo just laughed it off after hearing this.

What he didn't expect was that the two big shopkeepers would come to his head and discuss the matter very seriously.

"Are you serious?" Gu Zuo asked them for confirmation: "You don't want me to bid, do you?"

"Of course, our brothers are also very busy, okay?" the two shopkeepers replied with a smile.

So Gu Zuo became even more annoyed: "You two, stop joking, I really don't have that much money. Gu can't afford this kind of business."

Mr. Zhong Er said: "Okay, let's get down to business. We hope that Master Gu can do a favor for the Spiritual Beast Department."

Gu Zuodao: "As long as I can do my best, Gu will never refuse!"

"Our Spiritual Animal Department plans to bid for Southern Wuzhou, and we hope Huaixian Pavilion can become our second partner."

"Second collaborator? What do you mean?"

"When we can't reach an agreement with our first collaborator, we hope Huaixian Pavilion can step in."

"But as I said just now, I don't have that much money to throw away."

"We have the money, Huaixianguan just needs to come forward."

"What the two big shopkeepers mean is that you will pay and I will bid?"

"Let's talk about it in more detail. This is roughly what it means."

Gu Zuo was stunned for a moment, a little unbelievable. Every monk knows what it means to have a vein of spirit stone. Needless to say, even if it is a spare tire, this is an opportunity to reach the sky in one step - although it sounds like a small chance!

Gu Zuo's heart was pounding, and he suddenly felt a rush of blood. This rush of blood made him feel dizzy and difficult to calm down.

He forced himself to calm down and calm down again. He lay on the table and looked at the map carefully, but he didn't see anything. He just kept reminding himself that he must calm down!

Of course, he kept reminding himself that it was just a spare tire, so don't think too much.

But even if he is a spare tire, there are some issues that need to be clarified. After calming down for a moment, Gu Zuo organized his thoughts and while thinking about it, he asked: "A few questions, I hope the two bosses can help me clear them up."

Mr. Zhong Er raised his hand and signaled: "Master Gu, please speak."

Gu Zuo's first question is, since the Lingshi vein has been discovered, why does the Dongting Sect put Nanwu Mountain up for auction?

Mr. Zhong Er replied: "It has been eight months since the discovery of the Lingshi vein. Our Spiritual Beast Department has verified it through many parties and has confirmed that the Dongting Sect is preparing to shrink back to Wu. This is their plan that has been planned for many years. It will not

It changed because of a spirit stone vein, and they have a large vein in their own Linwu Mountain."

Gu Zuo asked: "Shrink? Why?"

Mr. Zhong Er shook his head: "Their explanation is that they invested too much and gained too little. I don't know if there are other hidden reasons."

Mr. Zhong Da added: "At the same time, what needs to be explained is that what can be determined at present is that a Lingshi vein has been discovered in Nanwu Mountain. It is still unclear whether it is large or small. Only by actually starting mining can the scale of the vein be clarified.

.Every time a mineral vein is discovered, it is a big gamble. The Dongting Sect does not want to gamble, so they seal the mineral vein and prepare to package it and sell it together with the entire South Wuzhou."

Gu Zuo understood: "In other words, they want to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of Nan Wuzhou? In this way, this mine is actually carrying a debt - an annual tax of 10,000 yuan. If the medicine garden can be managed well,
Chapter completed!
