Chapter Two Hundred and Ninth Touch Stone Into Gold
Outside Zhengyang Mansion.
Fang Xian dressed as a Taoist and walked all the way.
The chaos in Dazheng County had a great impact.
At least this place has more tension.
'I don't know if the prefect has the determination to directly let the soldiers of the prefecture enter the mountains to encircle and suppress it, otherwise, the help from the state will be indispensable... If it can't be taken down, then the prefect's black gauze cap will not be guaranteed, and maybe it will be punished...'
"But Bailiang Mountain is vast, and it is easy for the government to defeat Wang Shun. If the other party wants to escape, it will be more troublesome..."
Thinking silently, Fang Xian saw a pair of grandfathers and grandchildren pushing a scooter next to him, frowning and couldn't help but move forward, and said, "This old man, I am a Taoist You Fang, now the sun is empty, and I am thirsty. Can I ask for a bowl of water to drink?"
The old man didn't dare to be careless when he saw Taoist Fang Xiandao dressed up. Hearing that he was just begging for water, he quickly said with a smile: "Yes, yes..."
Taking a broken bowl and wiping it, he took water and presented it to Fang Xian.
Fang Xian took a sip and asked, "Why is the old man frowning?"
"Hey... I'm not worried, the gentlemen want to harvest summer grain, and the eldest and second eldest in the family have been arrested again. Now the family has run out of grain, how can they support the autumn harvest..."
The old man sat on a bluestone next to him to rest, and opened the chat box: "There is also the reform of this dynasty, this time there is no need to pay for grain, just silver... But the three major grain merchants in the city used to buy low and sell high, sucking our blood. !"
Fang Xian listened to it and asked a few more questions, only to realize that because of the darkness in the previous and late dynasties, the rules of "kick the dendrobium and sprinkle the tip" are more general, and the people couldn't bear the suffering, and they were in chaos.
Later, Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty gained the world. In view of this, the taxation reform was implemented, and the original tax in kind was replaced by money.
In this way, all kinds of taxes can be clearly measured by paying money per mu, which seems to be excellent.
However, the price of rice fluctuated quite a lot, and the hoarding of grain merchants was very common. Usually, the income was low, and when the grain was in short supply, the people sold it at a high price. The people were also miserable.
But after all, it is still a peaceful and prosperous age. The old man originally relied on his two sons, gritted his teeth and opened up a few more acres of barren land, and his life could go on.
It's just that Dazheng County did not know how to find a traitor, and the mansion was frightened, and they recruited strong men, repaired the city wall, and helped the city defense.
As a result, both the eldest son and the second son had to go to the military, leaving only the young and the old, but they were really not picked up.
"I see……"
Fang Xian nodded and sighed: "Since I drink a bowl of water, I will repay you."
Immediately looked at the child next to him: "Children, go get some stones."
The boy looked at him ignorantly, and suddenly smiled, showing a few teeth with empty front teeth, and went to pick up a few small stones.
Fang Xian didn't care, took out a small cauldron from his arms, opened the furnace directly on the side of the road, and threw a few stones into it.
"Daoist, are you trying to... alchemy?"
The old man could not help but ask.
"No, it's alchemy!"
Fang Xian laughed and patted the top of the small stove.
Snapped!
When the lid of the tripod was opened, I saw that the original stones had turned into bright gold!
This precious metal has had a thrilling and fascinating magic since ancient times.
The old man's eyes straightened.
"Give!"
Fang Xian threw him a gold nugget.
The old man looked around and bit it in disbelief. Looking at the row of teeth marks on it, his body began to tremble: "It's true! It's real gold! Could it be that the Taoist priest is an immortal? technique?"
"This little Doyle!"
Fang Xian replied with a smile.
In fact,
All of this is a trick of the 'invisible phantom', but it's just too real.
Ordinary blindness methods are aimed only at eye-consciousness, so they will be broken after one try.
And his alchemy is aimed at the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and consciousness. Your eyes are deceiving you, your ears are deceiving you, your touch is deceiving you, and in the end, even your consciousness is deceiving you. You... In other words, the whole world is lying to you! Once this happens, the six senses will sink, and unless the transcendence of the seventh sense is awakened, it is impossible to see the truth at all.
"This bowl of water, use this gold to pay off the debt. If you take the gold, go to the city and buy a lot of food from the three big merchants. Of course... If you want to pay taxes, you should pay someone to serve and redeem it. Son, you can do whatever you want."
Fang Xian handed a pot of gold to the old man and smiled.
"This... is just a bowl of water, the little old man dare not accept it."
The old man struggled for a while, and returned the gold regardless of the child's pull.
"Oh? Are you afraid of trouble later? Also..."
Fang Xian nodded: "However, Pindao intends to open a furnace to refine gold in Qingquan Mountain next to it, and use the method of water refining to create a Jinsha River... I also ask the old man to inform the people of the ten miles and eight villages, all come and use it! I secretly remembered the notification, I took the gold and replaced it with food and cloth as soon as possible..."
No matter how true it is, it is still false.
Once the alchemy attached to it dissipates, it will reveal flaws, so this kind of gold is naturally best spent early.
"Thank you Daoist for telling me that the little old man will go to inform the poor households in the eight townships of ten miles and eight!"
The old man bowed again and again, but this time he accepted the gold with peace of mind.
The old man was cunning. Before, he was afraid of being settled by Qiuhou. Now, even if something really happened in the future, the law would not blame the public.
...
"I also count it, play the world, punish the bad businessmen in the market?"
Fang Xian came to Qingquan Mountain.
This mountain is not high, just a small stream left from the top of the mountain, surrounded by jade belts, but also has a bit of scenery.
Fang Xian came to the top of the peak and threw the small tripod in his hand.
This cauldron suddenly became extremely huge, reaching a height of three feet, standing above the sky.
Actually, it's all fake.
Invisible phantom is an alchemy technique that falls into the hands of ordinary alchemists. At most, it changes his face. However, in Fang Xian's hands, it is transformed into thousands of illusions, and it is almost a fake.
"Suddenly I heard that the long drought meets the rain, to save the hardships and refine the golden sand..."
Fang Xian laughed and patted the furnace.
A golden ray of light merged into the source of the spring water, and the stars continued to spread to the distance.
Fang Xian sat cross-legged on the top of the peak and waited quietly.
It didn't take long for the old man to come over with a group of fellow villagers: "I told you, that is a real immortal, and I have seen all the gold, still don't believe it?"
At this time, it was dusk, and a group of villagers came to the edge of the spring, and they couldn't help being stunned when they saw the many golden sands inside.
An old farmer immediately jumped into the water, grabbed a handful of golden sand, and his eyes were dull.
At this moment, the sky was falling, and the ground was full of golden lotuses.
In the vision of heaven and earth, a voice came slowly:
"The golden sand here, you can take it yourself, don't fight for it!"
"After taking it, immediately buy food in the city without delay!"
"When you get rich and noble, you must be in the township of Fuze, otherwise there will be unforeseen disasters!"
...
"This is Immortal Tianyin!"
Many villagers knelt down: "I will not dare to violate it."
The villagers are sly, they understand the reason, and they have made up their minds to spend the golden sand when they go back.
And so much gold, there is really no need to fight for it, everyone can get rich!
