Elder Jiang said that the ancestral court of Huaixian Pavilion was located in Xiaogushan on the bank of Ruoye River. Huang Shenyan was startled, and then he remembered that there seemed to be such a sentence in the "Book of Sects of the World", but now Huaixian Pavilion is in Nanzhao. After all, she had no memory of this sentence. If Elder Jiang hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't have been able to remember it.

But so what? This is not the reason for Gu Zuo to intervene in Kuaiji County!

"Zuting? You are really laughing! Even if Huaixian Temple once practiced in Kuaiji County, it is now a Taoist temple in Nanwu Prefecture. What does it have to do with Kuaiji County?"

Gu Zuo smiled and said: "I'm really sorry. The headquarters of Huaixian Pavilion is now located in Nanwu Prefecture. This is correct. However, Paipiao still belongs to Kuaiji County. He is still naturalized in Kuaiji County and has never moved to Nanzhao. Therefore, we are a Taoist school born and raised in Kuaiji County, and it is only natural that we pledge to donate money to Kuaiji County. If Senior Huang does not believe it, he has the Chongxuan Office as a witness, and he will know after asking. By the way, the person who handled the tickets for my Huaixian Temple back then was Sima Tianshi, who was the Supervisor of Longrui Palace at that time."

Zhang Wanfu of Maoshan, Shen Jiefu of the Kuocang sect, Elder Jiang of the Dongting sect, etc. were of course happy to hear this, and each smiled after hearing the words. The more financial resources Zuo Shenmen consumed in Kuaiji County, the less capable it was of competing with other states and counties in Jiangdong. They are all good things.

Shen Jiefu even said to Gu Zuo with a smile: "It turns out that we are from the same hometown. Master Gu will visit his hometown more often in the future. When the time comes, our Kuo Cang faction will definitely welcome him."

Gu Zuo said respectfully: "The power of Master Shen's sword will benefit the younger generation greatly."

Shen Jiefu only thought that he was talking about the battle of the beast tide in Southern Wuzhou. He didn't realize that it happened many years ago, so he smiled and said a few polite words.

Not to mention that both the ticket and the ancestral court are in Kuaiji County. Even if Gu Zuo does not occupy any of them, it is still in compliance with the rules to bid for Kuaiji County, so Li Mi directly asked: "Huaixian Pavilion has 26,000 spiritual stones, are there any more?" ?”

Huang Shenyan gritted his teeth and said: "Twenty-eight thousand, this is the last offer..."

"Thirty thousand!" Before he finished speaking, Gu Zuo made another offer.

Huang Shenyan wanted to imitate Gu Zuo but failed to write it down. She pointed at Gu Zuo and said angrily: "...you...junior, very good!"

Gu Zuo showed his firm determination to bid for Kuaiji County and said to Li Mi: "Master, Gu heard me right just now. Senior Huang has already said that 28,000 spiritual stones is Zuoshenmen's last offer. Is it possible to award the commandery to Huaixianguan?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Shenyan broke his promise and said: "Thirty-one thousand!"

Gu Zuo smiled and chatted casually with the Taoist priest beside him: "Do you think I need to increase the price?"

Master Qing did his mental calculation for a moment and said: "You have exceeded the profit and loss point of Kuaiji County by 15,000 spiritual stones. You must be prepared to lose money, a huge loss."

Gu Zuodao: "I'm willing to lose money... thirty-two thousand."

Now, Huang Shenyan really couldn't calm down anymore. Among the several upper-class prefectures and counties in Jiangnan East Road, their target was Kuaiji County. If Kuaiji County was also snatched away, only the middle and lower-class prefectures would be left. Counties are up for grabs.

The consequences may not be visible in two or three years, but if we look at it in ten or eight years, it is very likely that the Zuo Shen Sect will gradually fall behind the ranks of the major sects in the world and will no longer be able to compare with the major sects in the south of the Yangtze River.

Therefore, they are determined to win in Kuaiji County.

If the sum of one thousand and one thousand is added up, when will it end? Huang Shenyan thought for a long time, and made up his mind under Li Mi's urging, preparing to make Gu Zuo retreat in spite of the difficulties with a fierce bidding.

"Thirty-five thousand!" Huang Shenyan raised the price by three thousand spiritual stones at a time.

Gu Zuo immediately followed: "Thirty-six thousand!" When he quoted the price, his back was wet.

Previously, Zuo Shenmen's annual quota for turning over to the Chongxuan Department was 30,000 yuan, which meant that their annual output of spirit stone veins was about 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. Gu Zuo's offer was a severe test for Zuo Shenmen, in case the other party

I really feel sorry for the Lingshi and not Kuaiji County. Gu Zuo has to fill it with 20,000 Lingshi every year. Gu Zuo is the one crying.

Huang Shenyan stared closely at Gu Zuo, and Gu Zuo also stared at Huang Shenyan, testing each other's will.

"Forty thousand!" Huang Shenyan spoke again, and then added: "The last quotation, this time I am serious."

Gu Zuo nodded slowly: "I understand, I lost... then I will give it to Senior Huang."

The number of donations pledged by Kuaiji County climbed to 40,000 spiritual stones per year, which made all the monks present take a breath. It was too high.

This number is of course high, and it is so high that Gu Zuo is extremely satisfied. If we take a few more Zhongzhou and Xiazhou, Zuo Shenmen's own spiritual stone production will have to pay for most of it. If we include the spiritual stones needed by the disciples for practice, it will be almost the same.

It will be all used up. If you want to do other things, you can only rely on buying spiritual stones in the market to maintain it.

It can be said that capturing Kuaiji County will be a big trap for Zuo Shenmen. When Gu Zuo bids for the remaining Zhongxiazhou County on the Lingnan West Road, Huang Shenyan should have no spare energy to cause trouble again.

Sure enough, Gu Zuo's bid for Kuaiji County made all sects cautious, and they did not dare to meddle in the sphere of influence near other sects. The bidding became smoother and smoother, with most of the transactions being completed at the lowest price.

Gu Zuo quickly captured Yuzhou, Tianzhou, Longzhou, Yuzhou, Tangzhou and Wu'an Prefecture. Among them, Yuzhou and Tianzhou were Zhongzhou, and the rest were Xiazhou.

Su Fen and Taoist Master Zhizhi also got their respective divided territories. Because they ate too much, Taoist Master Zhizhi made careful calculations and abandoned Luzhou. This lower state was also taken by Gu Zuo.

So far, Gu Zuo, together with Southern Wu State, has obtained two and a half imperial kingdoms and eight states. For this purpose, he needs to pledge 87,000 spiritual stones to the Chongxuan Department every year. Gu Zuo calculated the accounts and before the enfeoffment,

Including the mineral veins, the annual approved payment for this piece of land is nearly 220,000 yuan, but now it is less than half, which is still okay.

But if he didn't really make money, he still had to see if Gu Zuo could get Heishan Zhao and Tonghai Zhao to "pay the grain" obediently. If these two imperial edicts didn't hand over "public grain" to him, then he would be equivalent to losing more than 30,000 spiritual stones every year.

The four members of Montenegro can talk a little better. They all have a good relationship. They had a verbal agreement before entering the capital. On their behalf, I will discuss the reduction of spiritual stones on their behalf. I have a foundation in this aspect. We will have a good talk after we return so that we won’t end up in a quarrel.

to the point where we strive for a win-win situation.

The most difficult thing to deal with is the Tonghai Gang. Although the Tonghai Gang suffered heavy losses during the beast tide, the leader of the gang, Taoist Kusang, did not die. This man was a high-level Nascent Soul cultivator and was very difficult to deal with. Gu Zuo had never dealt with him before, so he didn’t know

It’s hard to talk to this person, but no matter what, if you want a Yuanying master to bow his head to you and pay tribute obediently, it gives you a headache just thinking about it.

When I was thinking about my thoughts, I suddenly heard Li Mi announcing "Tongchuan County" in the palace.

Tongchuan County is located in the southeast corner of Jiannan Road, between the Qingcheng Sect, Chenshan Sect and Luofuzhao. It belongs to Zhongzhou. The lowest price is 5,000 spiritual stones. Gu Zuo immediately put back his chaotic thoughts and paid serious attention.

Logically speaking, Tongchuan County should be the same as many prefectures and counties just now. For example, the Laoshan Sect and the Tianmen Sect are both large sects ranked in the top fifty and powerful. Although the Wangwu Sect monopolizes Henan Province, due to various reasons

After thinking about it, the prefectures and counties where these two sects were located were rejected, and various factors were taken into consideration.

Li Mi waited for a while but no one responded, so he was about to announce the next one. At this moment, he suddenly heard someone say: "Five thousand spiritual stones, Chenshan Sect pledges to donate!"
Chapter completed!
