Li Fan flew to Jiang Ji Trading Company and saw a bunch of oxcarts blocking the door and blocking three nearby streets. It turned out that several caravans came together to bring goods. Looking at the clothes of the merchants, they were not only from the country, but also foreigners.

Jiang Ji’s shopkeeper was extremely busy, delivering the specialties of Mozhu Mountain’s immortal treasures, and also counting and converting the money the other party used for the transaction. It was noisy, but it was much more troublesome than scanning the QR code.

However, it seems that the trade route to the Central Plains has been re-opened, and Lei Zeli has harvested a number of monsters on a large scale. Jiangji Trading Company has also overcome the temporary difficulties and begun to operate normally.

When Li Fan landed in the yard, the shopkeeper immediately came over to entertain him. After all, he was also Jiang Ji's half-time supporter, and the people in the trading company naturally recognized him. "Master Li wants to buy something, just give him the order."

The old shopkeeper who came up to salute was named Jiang Jian. He was too old to run far away. Now he is a stayer at Mozhushan Trading Company. As long as he lives for a long time, he will be able to recognize several magic weapons. He is usually the one who tastes the magic weapons brought by casual cultivators.

something.

"Old shopkeeper, I have some rubbish here that Lei Ze picked up... ahem, old things that I found. Please ask the shopkeeper to exchange them for some Shen Gang coins. In addition, I want to buy a mechanical flying boat. A small boat for transportation will be fine. I don't know whether it is a

Whatever the price, second-hand ones are fine.”

Jiang Jian smiled when she saw that Li Fan had brought a lot of goods, "The Master came at the right time. As you can see, the goods in the shop are almost gone. What you brought is of top quality, so you will not worry about sales.

The commercial bank now accepts it directly.

There is no need to worry about the mechanical flying boat. I know a lot of skilled craftsmen, and it is more than enough to order a good ship for you. But for the remaining balance, I do not recommend you to exchange Shengang money now. The market has always been flooded with bad coins. Now private

There are also counterfeit coins minted.”

"Counterfeit money?" Li Fan was stunned.

Jiang Jian waved to him, took him to the inner room, and placed two coins on the tea table, "Look, one was cast by Sanyuan and the other was cast by the Nangong family."

Why is it the Nangong family again? These people are really annoying...

Li Fan looked around for a while and asked, "...Is the one on the left fake?"

You can't really see it with the naked eye. They are all golden bronze coins. They will not develop patina after being raised with Shengang coins. They are almost the same size and weight, and there is no flaw in the handwriting. At most, some money can be used more.

, it is inevitable that there are worn parts, and there are slight differences between the old and new ones. However, Li Fan carefully inspected it with his spiritual sense and could still find out that the Shen Gang Qi attached to the coin on the right was relatively uniform and thick, while the Shen Gang Qi on the coin on the left was slightly thinner and covered well.

It's not uniform either. It only barely protects the coins, so it can't be considered a bad coin.

"That one is Sanyuan's new money. The other one was cast privately by the Nangong family."

Eh? But the one on the right is better?

Jiang Jian took out a brocade box from the room. When she opened it, there were also two coins inside, but the one on the left side of the box was obviously different. The moment she opened the box and saw the light, it even flickered. The golden light was brilliant, like a magic weapon.

The luster is very beautiful. Although the one on the right does not have the same precious light as the one on the left, the divine energy is evenly arranged and thick, and the texture seems to be better than the two on the table. The words and patterns are clearer, and the materials used are heavier.

It is also more abundant, probably more copper is used.

Jiang Jian arranged the four copper coins in order, "In the past, the Shengang coins cast by officials in Sanyuan were naturally the best, but now Sanyuan is also casting bad coins indiscriminately. The grinding tools have not been updated for a long time, and the princes will also cast bad coins privately."

, mixed with official models and attached to the divine energy, although they are all money released by the Immortal Palace, the quality is actually the worst.

When the Nangong family was about to rebel, Mo Zhushan also helped the Immortal King to make imitation molds and cast military funds privately. You see, the quality of this fake money is better than that of Sanyuan. It is probably the Nangong family who dug out the molds from that year and started casting them.

.”

Li Fan was speechless for a while. The quality of these fake coins was actually better than the official version of bad coins. Is this disrupting the market economy?

"The quality of the Shengang coins flowing from the Central Plains has been deteriorating in recent years. Sanyuan's financial resources are obviously in decline. The Nangong family should also be aware that the Central Plains is minting coins on a large scale, and they are also forced to mine and mint money privately." Jiang Jian shook his head and sighed.

, "Originally, the Immortal Palace was badly minted, and the Shengang coins had already been greatly depreciated, but Mozhu Mountain was so remote that I couldn't feel it for a while. Now the Nangong family has also begun to mint it privately, copper coins are flooding, and Liguo's commercial goods have begun to skyrocket.

The most typical thing is the current price of silk. In the past, the lowest quality silk cost ten guan per piece, but now it has risen to fifty guan."

Shit... Immortal Palace releases water. Will the Nangong family also release water? I'm afraid all the twelve countries are releasing water... It's a flood, damn...

Jiang Jian saw that Li Fan's expression was not good, so he took out a small purse, took out a bunch of blood-red copper coins and said, "Master, don't worry, we have all the numbers, so we will naturally prepare silk for you first. If silk cloth cannot be replaced,

You can exchange it for some blood baht money."

Li Fan took it and took a look. He recalled that Fuling had introduced it to him before. The blood baht coin was red and slightly smaller than the Shengang coin. It seemed to have been impregnated with secret magic and animal blood. Li Fan sniffed it carefully and even

You can smell a strange fishy smell.

"Blood baht money? By the way, it was issued by the Divine Religion...but isn't the Divine Religion the enemy? And why not use Xuan Ming Cast's troops-building money?"

Jiang Jian said, "Of course the money for recruiting soldiers is the best, but the quantity is too small, and most of it is circulated within Xuanmen, so it is not needed for human transactions.

The blood baht money of the divine sect is made by their main altar using a secret method. You can use the secret method to detect the authenticity, and it is distributed to the followers as a reward for their meritorious service. Whoever receives the amount is recorded. If it is made privately, it will be cut in half.

All the countries west of Kunlun were conquered by the divine religion. Hu Shang used this money a lot, and now it is much more reliable than Shengang money.

Nowadays, the power of the Divine Cult has penetrated deeply into the Kun Kingdom, and many business houses in Li Kingdom are doing private transactions with the Divine Cult. Smuggling is rampant in the northern border states, and blood baht money has flowed into the Central Plains on a large scale."

Li Fan frowned, one was ebbing and the other was ebbing. From the changing positions of the Shengang Qian and the Blood Baht Coin, it could also be seen that the power of the Divine Sect was getting stronger and stronger. Not only Jiang Ji, but also the big business firms that had mastered the resources could probably see this.

Immortal Palace is going bankrupt, and they are gradually losing confidence in Shen Gang's money. When Sanyuan can't come up with money and food to mobilize the army, how can it still be regarded as orthodox, and how can it deal with the aggressive divine religion?

However, at present, Liguo is still within the sphere of influence of the Immortal Palace, and blood baht money cannot be circulated openly. At most, various trading houses reserve some privately just in case. Mozhushan mostly uses barter, according to

The valuation of silk can be exchanged for various magic weapons and materials. Nowadays, the price of rice purchased with Shengang money changes every day, which is getting cheaper and cheaper... Oh, there is actually another product that can be bought with Shengang money.

People, or slaves.

"Generally, the adult servant who works is 40,000 yuan, and the underage boy is 20,000 yuan. This is the market price of the industry. They are all selected to be strong, healthy, and free from illness and disaster. If it is an apprentice who can write and calculate,

, or a pretty girl, which can probably be sold for more than 100,000 yuan."

It happened that Jiang Ji was also short of manpower, so he bought a group of apprentices as helpers. Li Fan asked, these are all people who know a few words. They bought them as assistants for about 50,000 yuan each, which is Shengang money 50.

Through.

In fact, there have been quite a few refugees coming from the north recently, and many of them have voluntarily sold themselves, and they will accept them if they are given a full meal. But these people don't know the basics, and most businesses and families don't dare to use them. Therefore, they don't know the basics.

These refugees even had to wait in line to sell their bodies at Yaohang. Only if Yaohang acted as guarantee would anyone come to buy them and make a living.

The evil cannibalistic old feudal society...

Of course, Li Fan couldn't really buy an outer courtyard. He just asked after seeing it, but he also knew that human trafficking was the social status quo of this era. Not only could it not be banned, it was even necessary to exist.

Because Mozhu Mountain actually belongs to the border area of ​​southern Xinjiang. Across the Li River is the high mountains of Zhushan. Although there are many immortals, except for the exiled prisoners, people from the Central Plains are unwilling to migrate here. Therefore, Lou has always been

Guandao, the 'landlord', is purchasing people from various countries through his trade to open up wasteland for farming. Nowadays, the prosperous towns near Lou Guan Pagoda have been developed in this way. Even many Mozhushan disciples like Jiang Liuqing have been bought.

’s slave.

Perhaps when wars begin in the Central Plains, South China Sea, Kunlun, and everywhere, there will be no need to buy and sell people, and many refugees will be forced by the current situation to voluntarily move to Mozhu Mountain and open up new homes in the Shiwan Mountains in the south.

This may be an opportunity for Mozhu Mountain, but it is not a blessing for the people in the world...

In short, he entrusted the sales of garbage and the purchase of flying boats to Jiang Ji's shopkeeper, and Li Fan flew to Louguan Pagoda to confirm the identity of Taoist Fellow Qingting Peak.

This was also the first time for him to see the soul lanterns of Mozhushan disciples with his own eyes. The place was quite easy to find. There was a large courtyard like a clan ancestral hall behind the Louguan Taoist Pagoda. There were rows of green-core white lanterns inside.

The path of fire.

As long as you receive the Taoist ultimatum from Lou Guan Dao in Mozhu Mountain, you can put a name on the bronze shelf inside, get a celadon oil dish, light a little light, and it will be a soul lamp.

This soul lamp is also used to inform the disciple of life and death, and to remind fellow disciples to help. If the lamp wavers and is almost extinguished, it means that the disciple is in danger of death. And death is like a lamp extinguishing. If the disciple dies, the soul lamp

It naturally went out.

The person guarding the lamp department here is a golden elixir mage. After all, the soul lamp is not a particularly profound secret method. It is just a reminder to the sect so that it will not knock over your soul lamp. That’s what I am doing. If you knock it over, knock it down.

Once you've read it, just start it again.

Of course, if it has not been officially registered under Lou Guandao's name, it will naturally not be specially made for soul lanterns.

Li Fan gave the triangular yellow talisman to the judicial officer on duty at the Light Department to explain his purpose. The other party also wrapped the yellow talisman around the bones and threw them into a brazier for inspection. The true identity of the Taoist friend was found. He also gave a copy of the Taoist ultimatum.

I found Li Fan the celadon lamp bowl and the soul-lighting lamp.

This person is Zhao Jingtai, the last head of the Qing Ting Sect. Because the sect suffered too many losses in the battle against the demon clan to open up Mozhu Mountain and the fight with the Black Lotus Sect, it was reported that he was the only one left. Then the soul lamp suddenly went out. Unknown

There were no disciples or family members whereabouts, so the Zhushan Qingting Sect ended its inheritance. Judging from the records, it was probably more than two hundred years ago.

This is correct. Qing Tingsou mentioned that he was expelled from Xuanmen two hundred years ago, and was later rescued by the mountain lord and temporarily lived in Qing Ting Peak. The Qing Ting Sect should have been gone by then, or else

It is not the mountain owner who decides.

During that period, even Qing Tingsou, the disciple candidate for the head of the Yuan Ying realm of the Xuanmen Shenxiao sect, would be stripped of his cultivation and thrown into the mortal world for inexplicable reasons such as colluding with the remnants of the Luo sect. I am afraid it was the Black Lotus sect of the Luo sect.

When the remnants were causing the most ferocity in Li Guo, Mo Zhushan probably thought that Zhao Jingtai was killed by the remnants of the Black Lotus Sect.

After all, outsiders didn't know that the Qingting sect had a secret training room on the top of the mountain. Zhao Jingtai was assassinated and died in it, and the iron gate was sealed by the murderer with rocks. Naturally, there was no evidence of his death.

Li Fan couldn't help but frown. He actually found someone. Moreover, he was the last generation of the Qing Ting sect. He didn't have any disciples or relatives, so the inheritance was cut off for no reason. The casual cultivators were really miserable...

He was initially worried that the remains were from too early and did not even have a soul lamp. It turned out that the specific name could be traced back to two hundred years ago, and the Qingting sect had no disciples, but the murderer was able to enter the secret room, probably because he was friends with Zhao Jingtai

A close friend of the casual cultivator? Could it be that he is also a monk from Mozhu Mountain?

For a practitioner, two hundred years is neither long nor short. At best, the murderer may have died long ago. At worst, this person may have cultivated to the Nascent Soul realm. And maybe

Liu Qing, a Southern sect member, also knew Zhao Jingtai.

However, if the murderer is still alive, why hasn't he disposed of the murder weapon and the dagger for so many years? Could it be that the dagger has nothing to do with the murderer and is just a cover-up to frame the blame? Or maybe Zhao Jingtai simply simply

Just self-imposed suicide? Who sealed the door?

No matter what, Li Fan still took the remains of the Taoist Taoist priest from Mozhu Mountain to the Louguan Pagoda to register. There is a peak in Zhushan named after the Qingting sect. The disciples of this lineage must also be named Mozhushan.

For those who have made outstanding contributions, the last leader at least has a saying that when a person dies, his lamp is extinguished, so he can be buried in peace.

Unexpectedly, he had just arrived at Louguan Pagoda. Before he could enter the door, he suddenly heard someone calling him "Qingyue! Qingyue!"
