Chapter 540 Treasure Building, God of Wealth Shen Wansan!


"It's already very good...Wang Jijiu, you have made a great contribution this time."

Xia Tian is already satisfied.

After all, there are so many human lords who have Li Bai’s ideas.

And the territory that was able to produce the "Jade White Invitation" in the previous stage is definitely at the forefront.

But neither he nor others succeeded, which is enough to show that this "Poetry Immortal" is really difficult to recruit!

Although Li Bai has not made a complete decision yet.

But he is willing to "walk" with him to help other human forces. This is already a breakthrough "from zero to one".

Moreover, there is undoubtedly Wang Yangming’s good intentions in this, just because he decided to use the "City of Saints" to kill the alien saints.

Although I am very confident, I also know that the enemy has many methods and cannot be taken lightly.

As he said before, Li Bai is not only a saint of literature, but also a saint of swordsmanship. He is the third saint in the great Tang Dynasty, second only to Gongsun Auntie. And the sword master "Pei Min"!

If such a person can accompany him all the way, his safety will undoubtedly be much greater.

The most important thing is, if during this process, Li Bai can see the national power of the Qianxia Dynasty, see the actions and attitude of himself as the leader of the country, and identify with the Qianxia Dynasty.

All problems will be solved.

"However, just this first store has already contacted three saints. The pressure of 'passing' seems a bit high!"

After all, whether it is Li Bai or Du Kang, They are all the geniuses of the human race as rated by Yu Bai, even Cao Xueqin is among the top golden figures.

This means that once the other party is willing to join, the Qianxia Dynasty will also need to consume a "pass" of the corresponding level!

After all, the Saint is not a cabbage, especially if he goes out to fight, he really can’t kill him if he wants to. At least the opponent can’t defeat him, but he can still escape. The more people he recruits, the higher the quality. , the difficulty of collecting enough passes will naturally become greater!

"Your Majesty, in fact, this pass does not completely need to be obtained by killing the saint... There is actually a place that sells 'passes' in this human holy city!"

At this time, Wang Yangming pondered for a moment, and then spoke again.

“What, there is such a place?”

One sentence made Xia Tian stunned.

The "Pass" of the City of Saints is an extremely rare item. How could any force sell it?

"Have you forgotten, sir? I said before that the only way to obtain this 'pass' is to kill the alien saint... Moreover, not all territories have the power to kill the saint. . Therefore, there is naturally a demand for this transaction, and related businesses have also been derived..."

Well, Xia Tian did remember that Wang Yangming mentioned it before.

Those ancient orthodox dynasties were extremely lucky, and a large part of their dynasty’s outstanding figures were recruited from many human territories because of their early arrival!

Therefore, the will of the earth has given these territories a certain number of "passes" as "compensation".

These passes are naturally "tradable".

In addition, some human forces lack combatants capable of killing saint-level aliens, and there is also a need to purchase these "passes".

Therefore, a business has formed in this city of saints!

“Moreover, this kind of sale requires the lords or the heads of some countries to manage it themselves... In addition, purchasing the pass is not consistent with the development strategy of the Qianxia Dynasty proposed by the Lord Zhuge. Violation, because the value of these passes is relatively expensive..."

Wang Yangming added another sentence.

This is natural.

After all, the value of a pass is almost equivalent to that of a "human saint". Even the weakest saint in the "Sea of ​​Illusion" has the ability to protect a territory.

Not to mention, according to the information revealed by Du Kang, the potential and background of outstanding figures from the Sea of ​​Illusion may not be worse than those of historical figures!

Especially for some territories, it is equivalent to "life extension". In comparison, with the ability of the Qianxia Dynasty, it may be cheaper to directly kill the saint.

"This is true, but I am somewhat interested in this place where passes can be traded. How about we go there and take a look! Wang Jijiu, please lead the way for me!"

Xia Tian said in his mouth.

"Yes!"

Wang Yangming said in his mouth.

"Well, in this city of saints, there are two main places where passes can be sold in our Chinese civilization. One is the 'Treasure Building', and the other is the 'Qihuoju' opposite the Treasure Building. ! The former is more focused on selling some treasures, while the latter is more focused on engaging in 'intermediary' connections..."

"I don't know, where is Your Majesty going to go first?"

Then, he said to Xia Tian again.

"Oh, Wanbao Building, Qihuoju? With names like this... as I expected, they should be opened by human saints related to business, right?"

Xia Tian asked as he followed Wang Yangming down.

"Your Majesty is very discerning. The bosses of these two places are indeed outstanding people related to businessmen..."

Among ancient merchants, there were not many people who were qualified to be directly "canonized", except for Fan Li, the "Shang Sage" who helped Gou Jian destroy Wu and retreated bravely.

I am afraid that most of the rest of the personnel are not at the level of golden heroes at the beginning.

Even Zigong (Duanmuci), one of the "Ten Philosophers of Confucius" and known as the "ancestor of Confucian businessmen", made the most successful business investment in the world and became the top dynasty in ancient times The Prime Minister's "Lu Buwei" should still be a little bit worse and directly become a "prodigy and saint"!

Similarly, this is probably also suitable for some of the top business figures of later generations.

Mainly to a certain extent in ancient times, businessmen were suppressed by the imperial court and Confucianism. They were ranked last among the "scholars, farmers, industry and merchants" and suffered all kinds of discrimination. They were not even allowed to wear the same socks. It’s about color!

So much so, even a famous businessman.

Except for people like Fan Li who are the best in other aspects, it is difficult to be "respected" by others!

For this reason, it is difficult for many outstanding business people to reach the top level in their initial evaluation.

Of course, money is still "loved" by everyone. There are only a handful of ancient business figures who can be directly canonized, but the number of people who have reached the gold level and have "qualifications for sainthood" is very high. .

Hu Xueyan, a red-roofed businessman, Shi Chong, a wealthy businessman of the Western Han Dynasty, Qiao Zhiyong of the Qing Dynasty... "Well, Jubao Tower should have been opened by Shen Wansan, the richest man in the late Yuan Dynasty... As for the house of rare goods, there is a place for strange goods to live... Could it be Lu Buwei ?”

Afterwards, Xia Tian made a judgment.

Qihuoju, this is very easy to judge.

After all, Lu Buwei invested in Ying Yiren with "a rare commodity to live in", and finally became the prime minister of the most powerful dynasty in the late Warring States Period from a businessman.

There is no doubt that this is the most successful investment in the entire history of China.

A huge profit is far beyond description.

As for the name "Treasure House", it reminds Xia Tian of a strange object, that is the "Treasure Bowl"!

Before, Xia Tian had some headaches because the amount of "currency" that the Qian Xia Dynasty could create was limited.

Fortunately, the will of the earth provided a "cornucopia" to temporarily solve certain problems!

At that time, the Will of the Earth also reminded that because the authentic "Treasure Bowl" itself had appeared in the Land of Eternity, this piece of the Qianxia Dynasty could not be directly promoted to the "artifact" level!

According to historical legends, the person who owned the cornucopia was none other than Shen Wansan, the richest man in Jiangnan at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty!

This man can be said to be an equally legendary figure. His most prominent deed recorded in the "History of the Ming Dynasty" is undoubtedly his funding to help Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang build one-third of Nanjing City.

Moreover, he offered to help Taizu with a lot of money to reward the three armies, which made Long Yan, a self-made emperor, furious and "murderous".

Even after being persuaded by the virtuous Queen Ma, the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River in the late Yuan Dynasty was eventually confiscated, and his accumulated wealth filled the national treasury that was extremely lacking after the Ming Dynasty.

Whether this period of history is true or false is irrelevant.

Just saying that he left such a record in the official history is enough to show that as a businessman, he was truly "rich enough to rival the country" and was extremely bold!

The origin of such a huge wealth has to be mentioned again about the legend of the "Treasure Bowl".

Folk legend has it that Shen Wansan had a cornucopia. If you put a gold hairpin in, you can get out a lot of gold hairpins; if you put a silver ingot, you can get out a pot of silver ingots, which is inexhaustible and can be used. It is inexhaustible, so we can be rich in the world.

In Nanjing, he built city walls and related facilities for Zhu Yuanzhang, and also built 1,654 verandahs and four restaurants, spending countless money.

Even the Xuanwu Lake Park in Nanjing in later generations is just the former site of the back garden of his residence. Its luxurious banquets and gorgeous costumes exceeded people's imagination.

It is said that an agate hip flask that he uses daily is enough to exchange for the entire "salt banknotes of a county in Jiaxing"!

"Both of these two people can be called 'lawless' businessmen... They don't have a clear enough understanding of themselves, but they don't know the reason why a man is not guilty, but a man with a treasure in his possession is guilty!'"

"Or, even if you know, you are too lucky, thinking that money can solve all problems..."

Xia Tian commented.

"Well, let's go to Jubao Tower first... Just in time, I have always wanted to meet this 'richest man' in the Ming Dynasty, and I also want to ask him for advice!"

The Qianxia Dynasty always attached great importance to "business".

Because, Xia Tian himself originally relied on the "Fangshi", a rare object building, to obtain a large amount of resources, and paired it with "Dragon Bone Wine" and other materials, so that he could be in the first round of fusion. Just "break through the limits" and gain exclusive "supernatural powers and powers"!

The subsequent "Void Auction" method also allowed the Qianxia Dynasty to obtain a large amount of urgently needed materials through transactions.

Now, the "City of Ten Thousand Races" has been specially opened, and Heshen, who is best at making money, has been sent there to be responsible for doing business with those foreign races.

However, when it comes to being a corrupt official, He Shen's ability is definitely among the top ten in ancient times, and can even be said to be "number one". However, at the business level, there is definitely still a gap compared to the top businessmen in the entire history of China. .

Just in time, you can also go in and see if you can "learn from it"!

“Welcome distinguished guests!”

Similar to Li Bai’s “Zui Xianju” store, the interior of this “Treasure Building” is also a self-contained space!

The shape, just like the name, looks jewel-like.

Just talking about the casting material of the main body of this building, it is actually made of unrefined "spiritual stone". The height of each floor is more than ten feet, which is really amazing. More spiritual stones are needed. I'm afraid it has to be counted in "hundred million"!

The most important thing is the access to and from these floors, which is also extraordinary.

Surprisingly, there is a majestic tree located in the center of the pavilion. The trunk can be hugged by ten people. Its material looks like white jade, and the leaves growing on it are all made of gold. !

It can be said that this building and tree alone vividly display the words "wealthy as a country"!

"This... golden branches and jade leaves, could it be the legendary fortune tree?"

Xia Tian was a little surprised.

Just talking about the money-lending tree in front of you is no small matter.

Although the "Eye of Insight" is restricted in the City of Saints and cannot see the detailed attributes of some items, Xia Tian, ​​who is now well-informed, can also tell at a glance that this item is really extraordinary!

Just because, whether it is a white jade tree trunk or a golden branch, there are complex natural spiritual patterns, and there are even traces of Taoist charm circulating.

Obviously, it is not a mortal thing!

“At least, they are all a sacred tree, and we don’t even rule out that they are ‘sacred trees’...”

Using such items as "welcoming guests", even the Qianxia Dynasty probably didn't have such a big "front"!

"The distinguished guest is here, the distinguished guest is here... The distinguished guest, please come up."

On the branch on the first floor, a person with golden feathers appears, but the eyes and mouth on the top of the head are like After the blue emerald-like bird, which looked a bit like a starling, flew down, it took the initiative to lead the two of them upstairs!

"This treasure gathering building is really interesting... this bird must be a different species..."

Xia Tian nodded, and Wang Yangming followed this "Emerald Golden Bird" .

"Crash!"

And as if they sensed something, after the two stepped on the "branches and leaves" formed by the roots of the money tree, the trunk suddenly glowed and swayed rapidly, and 80% of the golden leaves on the tree immediately began to shake!

"Well, 80% of the leaves of the money tree were shaking? Is this the emperor of that century-old dynasty, or a family from a thousand-year-old family coming..."

At the same time, In the Treasure Building.

A middle-aged man with a rich body shape and wearing Ming Dynasty clothes seemed to feel something and stood up! (End of chapter)
