Chapter IV Authorization
By the end of April, Nanwu Mountain welcomed two distinguished guests, Yuanying great monk Tang Shisan, and Tang Junzhe, the young master of the Tang family.
Tang Junzhe had no interest in official duties and clamored to go down to the mine as soon as he arrived. Gu Zuo couldn't resist him and asked Gao Changjiang to accompany him to dig in person.
Tang Shisan obviously respected Gu Zuo more than before. He no longer regarded Gu Zuo as his younger brother, but treated him more as an equal.
"My eldest brother was full of praise for Huaixian. He originally wanted to come in person, but he had some misunderstandings with the Chenshan Sect and went to visit him in person. He specially asked me to express his gratitude to Huaixian."
Gu Zuo invited Tang Shisan to have tea, and then asked: "I don't know what misunderstanding caused Chenshan Sect to want to acquire Tongchuan County. It's really unbelievable."
Tang Shisan sighed: "It was originally a small matter. Master Jingyun, the head of the Chenshan Sect, had a son who fell in love with me, the legitimate daughter of the Tang family, and insisted on marrying her. Huaixian also knows the rules of my Tang family. My ancestors."
How can things that have been settled be changed easily? As time goes by, misunderstandings become more and more numerous, leading to what is happening today."
Gu Zuo nodded: "No wonder, Tang Sect needs to pay more attention to it in the future."
Tang Shisan said: "Thanks to Huaixian... Chongxuan Office has changed the rules and regulations of cultivation. I came here today because of the entrustment of my eldest brother and my ancestors. I came here to ask Huaixian to tell me that this year's taxes should be paid to Huaixian."
How much is the library? When will it be delivered? Huaixian will make a rule, and our Tang Sect will definitely comply with it."
Gu Zuo waved his hand quickly: "How can this happen? I was originally entrusted by a noble family to compete for Tongchuan County. Besides, the Tang family also saved my brother's life. Senior Thirteen even married off his daughter. What kind of regulations should I make?
Doesn’t that poke my spine? It’s a simple matter. I bid for Tongchuan County on behalf of the Tang Sect. I authorize the Tang Sect to have the final say on all spiritual matters in the county. All taxes and fees paid by each family in the county will be handed over to the Tang Sect.
, Huaixian Pavilion does not charge a penny, all you need to do is give me eighteen thousand spiritual stones every April, and treat Huaixian Pavilion as if it has just changed hands."
Tang Shisan said happily: "I'm afraid it's inappropriate."
Gu Zuo asked the clerk in Chang Shi's study to get two authorization agreements. What Gu Zuo just said was listed in them, which is equivalent to essentially authorizing the Tang clan to be the princes who monopolize Tongchuan County. Of course, there is an extra clause at the end, I hope
It is not a mandatory requirement. When Huaixian Pavilion is in trouble and asks for help from Tang Sect, Tang Sect is asked to consider helping.
The agreement has been stamped with Gu Zuo's seal and signed, and is waiting for the Tang clan to sign it together, which proves that Gu Zuo didn't come just by opening his mouth, but had planned it for a long time.
"I originally wanted to go to Tongchuan County and ask Master Tingfeng to take a look at this agreement, but I can't get away so far. Everything is too busy and I'm tired of the Thirteenth Senior who has to work hard for it. I forgive you, forgive me.
!”
Tang Shisan felt even more comfortable and said: "In that case, I will take the agreement back. After my eldest brother signs it, I will send it to Huaixian. Of course, the agreement says eighteen thousand spiritual stones..."
Gu Zuo asked hurriedly: "Is there any difficulty? At that time, the elder Zhou of Chenshan Sect, that is, Zhou Ping'an, kept increasing the price. It was the junior who had no experience and got 18,000 spiritual stones. It was all up to me...
Sichuan County does not produce spiritual stones, so it is really difficult to collect so many. I wonder how many Tangmen can come up with? I will make up for the rest personally!"
Tang Shisan smiled and said: "Although Tongchuan County does not have spirit stone veins, it is rich in Feiyun refined iron and many other materials. Just buy these spirit stones. Although the agreement only states eighteen thousand spirit stones,
But my eldest brother said that the Tang family would give it to Huaixian Pavilion for thirty thousand spiritual stones."
Gu Zuo was shocked: "How did this happen?"
So the two of them went back and forth and declined for a long time, until they finally agreed verbally that Tang Sect would deliver 20,000 spiritual stones to Huaixian Pavilion every year, which was equivalent to paying an intermediary fee of 2,000 spiritual stones to Huaixian Pavilion.
The big deal was settled, Gu Zuo accompanied Tang Shisan to the Fugui Garden on the north bank of Dongxi River. When he learned that his daughter and son-in-law had gone to pick up their relatives to support them and had not yet returned, Tang Shisan nodded: "That's right."
After looking at the scale and furnishings of Fugui Garden and looking around the surrounding landscape, Tang Shisan was quite satisfied: "That way, I feel relieved."
After staying in Nanwu Prefecture for two days, Tang Shisan took Tang Junzhe, who had been mining for two days, back to Tongchuan County. Tang Junzhe was still reluctant to leave. He was addicted to mining and called it interesting, which made Gao Changjiang who accompanied him feel uncomfortable.
It's a bit overwhelming - I'm nervous, the conditions in the pit are not very good, and if the young master of the Tang family is really tired and falls ill, it will be hard to explain.
As soon as the Tang family members left, Chen Xuanli sent another person. The person who came was the official who was in charge of the money and food supplies of the Longwu Army. Gu Zuo joked: "If you eat Wang's pheasant and Wang's weld, Longwu's army will still be short of food."
money?"
Recorder Jianjun smiled and said: "If you don't have long-term worries, you must have immediate worries."
The purpose of Long Wujun's visit was very clear. Although they were not short of money for the time being, their determination to prepare for a rainy day became stronger. Lu Shi joined the army and told Gu Zuo: "I don't know what's wrong with your Majesty. He keeps asking for money. I don't know that he is so
Where did all the money go? If you hadn't given us the case of the Wang brothers, Gu Changshi, the Longwu Army would have become the second Yulin Army in less than two years."
Now that he is here, Gu Zuo of course fulfills his promise and asks one of Gao Changjiang's disciples to take action and start building the Longwu Army Hall in Shuangfeng Town in accordance with Na Lushi's request. Na Lushi joins the army and starts to lie down in Shuangfeng all day long.
In Feng Town, make connections everywhere.
In the middle of May, Taoist Priest Lingyuan finally came back. He took Chao Yun all the way to preach and play, and he was really free and at ease.
"I didn't see the leader of the Tonghai Gang, but a few Jindan came out to receive the order. They said that Taoist Kusang was not here, haha... Anyway, there is something wrong, and those guys are not very convinced. The other states can't see anything.
Attitude, the one who receives the order is either the governor or the governor, and he will come out with the two departments to listen to the announcement. The effect depends on the performance. Everyone is asking me what the regulations of Huaixian Pavilion are. Have you thought about it?
?”
Gu Zuo said: "Don't worry, wait a moment. I just walked around a few days ago and found that there are still a few people who are in retreat. We will start after they come out. Let's let the various states' law bureaus, household bureaus, large and small sects
The door is popping and popping again, so let’s reflect and reflect. As for the Tonghai edict, it’s best to wait until Elder Shang comes out.”
Taoist Priest Lingyuan stretched his body and said, "Well, I'm exhausted from the journey. I'm going back to rest."
Gu Zuo asked: "If I remember correctly, it has been four years since you entered the Golden Elixir, right?"
Taoist Priest Lingyuan was puzzled: "There are still a few months left to reach four years, what's wrong?"
Gu Zuo said earnestly: "Don't always be obsessed with beauty... feelings. Hold on tight and enter the late stage as soon as possible. Nowadays, Jindan monks are springing up in South Wuzhou. Taoist priest, you are almost lost to everyone. You know, you
The higher your cultivation level, the more Miss Chaoyun will be able to rely on in the future."
Taoist Master Lingyuan said indifferently: "Okay, okay, the princes along your way are just building foundations, how dare you say Pindao? When you get the golden elixir, Pindao will be in the later stage. In short, I won't let you catch up with Pindao.
, you should worry about those in retreat."
Gu Zuo was blocked by a word, feeling aggrieved and said angrily: "I'm doing it for your own good, but you don't appreciate it. There's nothing to say."
Gu Zuo really paid attention to those people who were in retreat, and asked if there was any news every day. After two days, there really was a golden elixir that broke through the realm, but it was someone Gu Zuo didn't expect, the leader of the Huxi Sect.
Yin Shu.
