The question raised by Gu Zuo is actually the issue that the Dongting Sect needs to consider when weighing whether to retain Nan Wu State, that is, the size of the Lingshi vein - it is also an issue that all parties preparing to bid for Nan Wu State need to consider.

Mr. Zhong Er said: "Yes, the output of a Lingshi vein ranges from large to small. Currently, among all the mineral veins in the world, the smallest one produces more than two thousand pieces per year. The largest one, such as the Lingshi vein in Zhongnan Mountain, produces twenty-six pieces per year."

Ten thousand! The question now is to make a bet on whether this vein is big or small."

In addition to the Chongxuan Department's own mineral veins, the Lingshi mineral veins occupied by various sects and sects in the world must pay tribute to it. The Chongxuan Bureau will send special personnel to explore the Lingshi mineral veins to confirm the size, and appraise them as five to be handed over.

times, turn over fifty thousand, thirty thousand, ten thousand, five thousand, one thousand spiritual stones every year.

The first two are large mines, 10,000 is a medium mine, and the latter two are small mines. According to this level, only when it reaches the scale of a medium mine or above can the bid for Nan Wuzhou be profitable, otherwise it is likely to be a loss-making business.

, cannot afford the additional 10,000 guan and 5,000 spiritual stones that should be paid as a military state.

After answering the first question, Gu Zuo's second question was actually answered. He said: "In other words, the Department of Spiritual Beasts has determined that this mine is at least a medium mine?"

Mr. Zhong Er said: "Last year we sent people to look at it three times. In the first month of this year, the three great elders went to Nanwu Prefecture together for nearly a month. Our guess is that the possibility of this vein being a large vein is more than six months.

become."

Gu Zuo asked: "Only 60%?"

Mr. Zhong Er smiled and said: "If we reach 60%, we can already place a bet. If we are wrong, it turns out that the Nanwu Mountain vein is just a small vein, and the annual burden in the future will not exceed five thousand spiritual stones, so we can afford to pay."

Compared with the possibility of losing, the possibility of making a profit is greater, and the profit is soft! In this case, do you think you should take a gamble? Unless it is a false pulse, but the three elders all think that the possibility is extremely small

.”

Gu Zuo's eyelids twitched: "Is there still such a possibility?"

Mr. Zhong Er said: "There are no absolutes in this world. The Yin Sheng Department believed that there was a high possibility of fake mines coming out of this vein, so they withdrew. This also strengthened the determination of our Spiritual Animal Department to participate."

Well, Gu Zuo did not dwell on the issue of fake mines for the time being. He continued to ask: "Why should I be involved?"

Mr. Zhong Er answered very openly: "All auctions of Lingshi mines must be monitored by the Chongxuan Bureau to ensure orderliness and stability, without twists and turns, or even in the future, there will be no shirking or even tax denial. Chongxuan Bureau requires that,

Those who participate in the bidding must be from the sects listed in the "Book of Sects of the World". Unfortunately, including our Spiritual Beast Department, the Eight Departments of the Heishan Order gave up the opportunity to obtain tickets in order to receive the imperial edict and enfeoff the country. We want to

If you want to participate, you must cooperate with a sect or Taoist school like Huaixian Hall."

Gu Zuo asked again: "Who is the first collaborator?"

Mr. Zhong Er smiled and said: "Actually, when we first selected collaborators, the three elders of our Spiritual Beast Department each recommended one company. The third elder recommended you, the second elder recommended Tianmen Sect, and the first elder recommended...

The Laoshan sect and the Tianmen sect later withdrew, and they want to cooperate with the Shenxing Department, leaving you two alone."

There is no ranking in the "Book of Sects of the World". The order of listing is divided according to Tao. However, in a ranking list that has become popular in the past two years, the Laoshan Sect is placed at the 22nd position. Gu Zuo also turned over this book.

, Huaixian Pavilion was placed at the 810th position.

In the past two years, two sects have died, and the "Book of Sects in the World" has not yet been revised, but it is recorded in Xiao Xiaosheng's "Shuo of Hundreds of Schools". Therefore, Huaixian Pavilion is currently ranked last.

"In other words, I am ranked second in the list for cooperation. If your department and the Laoshan faction fail to reach an agreement, it will be my turn?"

"Yesterday, during the meeting in the ministry, everyone unanimously agreed that the Laoshan faction would be the priority partner for the Spiritual Beast Division to participate in the bidding this time. If the negotiation fails, we will choose to cooperate with the Huaixian Pavilion."

Gu Zuo thought for a while and asked: "To what extent have your department and the Laoshan faction discussed this? I want to know this. Please rest assured. I swear I will not talk nonsense."

Mr. Zhong Er said: "I should have let you know that at present, the progress is not very smooth. The price demanded by the Laoshan Sect is too high, which makes us very embarrassed. To be honest, our Spirit Beast Department has the strength to eat it alone.

Nan Wu Prefecture chose to cooperate in order to borrow their identity. Of course, the Laoshan faction is very powerful. If we can cooperate, we will have a greater chance of winning Nan Wu Prefecture."

Gu Zuo immediately asked: "What do they want?"

"They are willing to share 50% of all investment and correspondingly 50% of the income. However, they also proposed that as long as the spirit mine does not want Nanwu Prefecture, the land and annual taxes of Nanwu Prefecture will be thrown away and handed over to us, the Spiritual Beast Sect.

.In other words, they only want to take advantage of it and don’t want to take risks.”

"This..." Gu Zuo was speechless: "Why?"

Mr. Zhong Er sighed: "Not only does he have cards, but he also has qi skills."

The Laoshan sect's Qi-gazing technique is world-famous. With this technique, he has a strong advantage in exploring mineral veins. Not only in searching for Lingshi mineral veins, but also other mineral veins, they can find the general direction of the mineral veins in the shortest time.

Come out and quickly determine the pit location.

A well-determined pit location can reduce a lot of excavation losses, and the discrepancies can amount to thousands of spiritual stones per year.

Assuming that three pits are dug at the same time, if the Laoshan faction takes action, the mine owner may be able to earn the equivalent of three thousand more spiritual stones every year!

This is where the confidence of the Laoshan School lies.

Gu Zuo then asked: "How likely is it that it will be my turn?"

The two big shopkeepers looked at each other, and Mr. Zhong Er replied: "To be honest, it is unlikely that it will be your turn."

Gu Zuo almost spit out his blood. Is there anyone who talks about business like this? He said angrily: "Then why do you want a second collaborator? It's boring."

Mr. Zhong Er said: "Although we are the second collaborator, we plan to sign the contract with Huaixian Hall first in the same way as the first collaborator. Of course, the owner of the hall will sign first, and our spiritual animal department will sign later."

Gu Zuo suddenly realized: "So that's what it means. I understand. It's a waste of excitement for Gu. It's okay to help, but are you sure it's useful? Can Huaixian Pavilion scare them?"

Mr. Zhong Er said: "First of all, Huaixian Pavilion is qualified to participate in the bidding; secondly, you are familiar with Longquan Taoist Academy Wu Taoist priest. Wu Taoist priest is likely to be the monitor of this auction. With you here, the Dongting sect can be minimized."

The risks of operating behind closed doors without following the rules. With these two things in mind, why should the patrons belittle themselves?"

Gu Zuo smiled bitterly: "Daozhang Wu... I have already said that this person will not abandon his official position for personal reasons. If we go back to see him, won't we fail to negotiate?"

Mr. Zhong Er said: "I'm afraid the owner of the museum doesn't know, but this is actually very important. After we came back from Luofu County, when we told everyone that Director Wu invited us to eat at Cuiyun Cliff and offered to pay for it, how did everyone react?

Haha, wonderful..."

Of course it's exciting. This is a meal that Gu Zuo got by selling out all of Yu Yuanzhi's favors. How could it not be exciting?

Gu Zuo was not embarrassed to continue discussing this point, so Feng Qingyun calmly brought the topic back to the terms of cooperation between the two parties.

Since a contract is involved, of course a useful contract is needed. Mr. Zhong Er's condition is: "In the early stage, your family will bid for it. All matters will be prepared by your family, and the expenses will be shared equally between the two families. After taking over Nanwu Prefecture, all investment will be made by my family."

Bao, and at the same time ensure the safety of the spirit stone veins. My family will bear the annual taxes in South Wu State, so you don’t have to worry about any risks. After the spirit stone is produced, your family will account for 5%."
