Chapter 614: Not Taking a Penny
Whoosh!
Inhale!
A long wind blew in the dark room.
Large groups of white mist dispersed and swayed.
The walls of the entire quiet room were covered with condensed water droplets, which gathered and flowed down, forming a puddle.
The puddle reflected a human figure.
Drip.
The water droplet fell, and the figure twisted.
On the meditation cushion.
Liang Qu sat cross-legged, his body like a melting furnace, burning fiercely, dispelling the cold of the winter morning.
He opened his eyes.
The torch fire melted gold, and divine power was emitted spontaneously.
He hadn't slept all night, but he didn't feel the slightest fatigue, looking spirited.
Communicating with the Ze Ding.
【Ding Master: Liang Qu】
【Refining Ze Ling: Water King Ape (Purple) (Fusion Degree: 1.4%)】
【Water Marsh Essence: 81,000】
Looking inside himself.
The nine orifices stars were flickering.
The thirty-six meridians were shining brightly.
Surging blood qi was hidden and flowing.
Looking far away.
Between the connections of the meridians, three floating bridges were faintly cooperating, connecting the spirit of heaven and earth.
"The Heavenly Bridge is established!"
Liang Qu clenched his fist, the finger wind whistled, and the air mass exploded out of thin air, shaking the water droplets on the wall so they fell with a clatter, as if it were a light rain.
The raindrops fell into mid-air, suspended and motionless, merging into a water ball, and fell into a spittoon on the side.
The damp quiet room dried up in the blink of an eye.
The smooth and free-flowing ease was intoxicating!
The realm is complete!
The three small meridians remaining in the two cultivation techniques were slightly polished and connected, and his own meridian cycle was also complete!
Satisfying!
Not only has his strength gone up another level, but he can also look at the back of the Hunting Tiger.
Wolf Smoke is a master in the county, and from now on, Hunting Tiger is a first-class master in the prefecture, a stepping stone for a fifth-rank martial official!
The prefix of a martial artist can finally bear the word "Great" here!
Stepping into this realm.
Life is very different!
Besides.
The Ying Dragon pattern can be condensed again.
He had harvested quite a lot from the old turtle, excluding the seasonal long qi, there were two other wisps of Long Qi. Adding the wisp from Long Yanrui earlier, it was exactly three wisps, enough to combine into a third Ying Dragon pattern!
There is no rush for this matter.
Liang Qu supported his knees and stood up.
Stepped out of the quiet room.
Heat surged, liquefying into mist.
The door of the main room was opened early. Looking out, the otter was not afraid of the cold and practiced diligently, sweat beads condensing on its nose.
The otters in the room were curled up in a pile, sleeping soundly, their fur stained with damp water vapor, and they curled their buttocks.
"Congratulations to the Elder for his cultivation progress."
Long Binglin congratulated him.
"Just a small achievement."
"Small achievement..." Long Binglin was speechless, "At your age, practicing to the Wolf Smoke Heavenly Bridge, even if placed in our clan, you are a leader among the bloodlines. Only the first-generation Great Long Ren could do it. In the past, eating heavenly water and morning dew, why would you need to draw lots?"
You thick-browed and big-eyed guy.
Just broke through, hearing a Hunting Tiger full-level martial artist blowing smoke, how could his mood not be good?
"Where is yesterday's Jiaoxiao?"
"In the left ear room of the hall."
Liang Qu looked at the sky.
The Jiaoren matter needs to be handled and arranged as soon as possible.
There is a deposit of twenty Jiaoren tears, and he dare not even think about how many there will be later.
Charge, charge, charge!
After taking a bath and eating breakfast, holding three bolts of Jiaoxiao of different colors, Liang Qu came to his master's wife's residence.
The stove was scattering sparks, and laughter was constant.
The Xu family's wife was talking with other wives.
Those who could sit in the room were nothing more than aunts or concubines from various branches. The content of the discussion was also limited, from birthday gifts to various embarrassing things and happy events, complaining about their own men and sons.
Seeing Liang Qu enter the door, the eyes of the wives lit up.
The sensation of the armor plate at yesterday's birthday banquet was still fresh in their memory, accompanied by a slightly teasing "Yo," the topic they were discussing stopped abruptly, and all turned to Liang Qu, with various jokes one after another, very lively.
Damn!
Surrounded by "wolves."
Liang Qu's thoughts returned to that afternoon when he was tricked into the room by Xu Zishuai...
Struggling with how to address them, sweating profusely.
Fortunately, the Xu family's wife spoke to relieve him.
"Don't be noisy, don't be noisy. Coming early in the morning, there must be something important. Your master went out with the Great Ancestor and Second Ancestor, don't know when they will return."
Master's wife is mighty!
Liang Qu felt slightly relieved in his heart, greeted everyone, and hurriedly said: "Disciple is not looking for master, just asking master's wife to find a skilled embroiderer."
"What do you want an embroiderer for?"
"To make a woven item."
"Is it troublesome?"
"Not troublesome. A skilled one, one or two quarter-hours?"
"Nandi, you go."
Liang Qu was surprised. He didn't expect it to be Nandi, but on second thought, the master's wife's personal maid has a good skill, quite reasonable.
"Thank you, Sister Nandi."
An acquaintance is more convenient than an outsider, and it can also be less awkward. West wing room.
Nandi threaded the needle.
"What does the Ninth Young Master want to make?"
"Foot socks." Liang Qu put down the Jiaoxiao.
"Jiaoxiao to make socks?"
Nandi was surprised.
A bolt of Jiaoxiao is worth several hundred taels. Others are reluctant to use the material to make clothes, so where would they use it to make foot socks?
Brocade clothes at night?
But since Liang Qu requested it, Nandi didn't ask much. She spread out the fabric, stretched her thumb and index finger to measure the size.
"Does the Ninth Young Master want tube socks or tied socks?"
"No, no, none of those. They need to be long, tight, and roughly able to wrap up to here, three pairs of each color."
Liang Qu gestured with his palm to his thigh.
Nandi became more and more confused as she listened.
Where are there socks that go up to the thigh?
Can they be worn as pants?
Confusion aside.
Nandi's movements were not slow at all. She cut a section of Jiaoxiao, twisted the needle to sew it, and made the socks according to Liang Qu's requirements.
During this period, Liang Qu looked through the window at the wives in the hall, and a flash of inspiration struck.
Coming early is not as good as coming at the right time.
Foot socks are firstly for covering flaws, and secondly for hazy beauty.
The Dragon Lady's skin is like white jade, and white jade has no flaws to cover, so it cannot perfectly display its advantages.
The wives in the hall are different; they are getting older, their skin is gradually decaying, and the key is that they have money, which is exactly the target population!
It's just that from sending them into the palace to selling them, the time in between will not be short. To prevent outsiders from getting there first, he needs to find a reliable person...
Two quarter-hours.
"Ninth Young Master, see if there is anything wrong."
"Good, exactly the same!" Liang Qu checked slightly, coughed, "Sister Nandi, help me with another favor, go to the hall and talk to my master's wife, like this, like that..."
Can things be sold like that?
Nandi widened her eyes.
"Can it work?"
"Help me with a favor, I have a gift."
"Good, good, good."
A short while later.
"My little Jiu always has ghost ideas. If I don't give an answer quickly, he will really make a fuss."
"Alright, alright, my ears are calloused, I don't want to hear half a sentence, go quickly, go quickly, if there is anything good, come back and teach us to open our eyes."
The Xu family's wife smiled, found a simple excuse, and led two wives into the wing room.
Liang Qu stood in the courtyard, bowing his head and waiting.
A long time.
Two wives walked out, their cheeks flushed with excitement.
Nandi beckoned in the room.
Liang Qu stepped in.
The Xu family's wife sat on a long chair, looking at the Jiaoxiao constantly.
Liang Qu immediately asked: "Master's wife, how much are the two wives willing to pay?"
"Between sixty and one hundred taels."
Whoa.
Sixty to one hundred!
It's much higher than the original estimate of twenty!
The Xu family's wife looked serious and raised her head to ask Nandi: "One bolt of Jiaoxiao, how many finished products can be made?"
"If you save material, eighty to ninety pairs."
After saying this, Nandi herself was startled.
Calculated at the lowest price and the lowest number.
Four thousand eight hundred taels!
Compared to the original Jiaoxiao of several hundred taels a bolt, it has turned over several times!
How did the Ninth Young Master's head grow?
"How do you plan to sell this? Where does the stable Jiaoxiao come from?"
Liang Qu told the story of finding the Jiaoren tribe in the Great Marsh.
"Good business..."
The Xu family's wife calculated slightly and calculated the huge profit.
"How much do you want?"
Liang Qu shook his head.
"Not taking any."
"Not taking any?"
Correct.
The proceeds from the Jiaoren Jiaoxiao socks.
Liang Qu didn't take a penny.
The whole business is indeed highly profitable.
However, the imperial court takes a share, the Xu family takes a share, the master takes a share, the Jiaoren take a share, he takes a share, and the cost takes a share. At least it has to be divided into six parts.
The profit of this thing is so great that after discussion, he might have to pull in the Prince of Yue as a protective umbrella, and then divide another part, which would be seven parties dividing the account.
Liang Qu simply didn't want it.
There is no end to making money. The most critical thing is the Water Marsh Essence.
The reason why money is valuable is that it is linked to resources.
The more the Jiaoren earn, the more they attract, and the more Water Marsh Essence there is, which is equivalent to more money.
It's just that Liang Qu's share will not be cheaply given to others for nothing.
"Disciple's share, part of it is given to the Jiaoren, and the other part I want to leave to the sect."
"What is the sect?"
The Xu family's wife noticed what Liang Qu said.
"From now on, this money will be fully decided by the master's wife, either kept personally or uniformly deposited in the bank. If the senior brothers and sisters have needs, just take it. Return it within five years, without any interest. If it exceeds five years, only collect a tiny amount of interest.
Besides that, take out a part to reward and subsidize excellent apprentices in the martial arts hall to raise the level of martial arts practice, and give five apprentice quotas for Yixing Town each period to enter the hall for free." ===== CHAPTER 615 =====
