Chapter 187 Money (Today’S Chapter)
Holding the martial arts novel in hand, Johnny activated his power of time travel and entered the novel.
The confidante's eyes widened, saying that there are such strange and chaotic things in the real world. Sure enough, the universe is very magical.
The warm wind blew through the willows, and Johnny stood in the south of March, at the door of Fuwei Escort Agency.
There are bats and lions on the dart flag. The bat represents blessing, the lion represents power, and the combination is blessing and power.
"Homophonous meme." As soon as he traveled through time, Johnny saw the homophonic meme.
"Brother, do you want to throw a dart?" The guard at the door saw a stranger standing outside and couldn't help but ask.
"I am Qiang, and I want to throw darts." In the environment of the Central Plains, the name Qiang is more appropriate.
"Please come in." Seeing that it was business, the guard immediately invited Shi Qiang to come in.
Just inside the door is a courtyard with racks of swords, guns, swords and halberds. It looks like Lian Jiazi's residence. However, Johnny knew that the combat effectiveness of the escort agencies was not strong. After all, most escort agencies just paid the toll and then passed through safely without fighting.
Escort agencies are for making money, not for killing.
"Chief escort, this brother wants to throw darts."
"Please take a seat. I wonder what your name is?"
"My surname is Shi, the history of history." Shi Qiang said. Knowing which universe he traveled to, he changed into ancient clothes that fit the era in advance. It's the Ming Dynasty now, and I don't know which emperor it is, and I don't care. In the world of martial arts, the imperial court has always had no sense of presence.
"I wonder what Brother Shi wants to protect and where to send it?"
"Your Excellency, you are Lin Zhennan, the chief escort of Fuwei Escort Agency?"
The middle-aged man smiled boldly and said: "I don't dare to be a hero. I am Lin Nan."
Shi Qiang said: "I have admired the name for a long time, but I am actually planning to go to the Huashan sect and hope to find some bodyguards to protect me."
"I see, it's easy to say, how about I arrange two escorts for you? It's just that it's a thousand miles away from Huashan Mountain. People eat horses and chew on the road, so the expenses will not be small." The Fuwei Escort Bureau is on the southeast coast, while the Huashan School is far inland. The distance is more than three thousand miles, which requires a lot of money.
Bang, Shi Qiang didn't talk nonsense. He took out three gold bars and said, "It's not enough. You speak."
The head escort was not in a hurry to get money. He was a professional escort. His family ancestors had been in the industry since the previous dynasty, and his cooking skills were passed down from generation to generation. He would not be excited just because of three small yellow croakers. He said: "There are generally two ways to go to Huashan, although they are both mixed. There are water routes and land routes, but the proportions are different. If there are more water routes, the price will be cheaper. If there are more land routes, the price will be more expensive. Because land routes require horses, there are still many roads that cost money. Horse losses and fodder are included, and The cost of the two escorts is quite a lot. If the main route is by water, it’s ten taels of gold, and if it’s by land, it’s fifteen taels of gold, not counting food and drink on the way.”
Shi Qiang didn't know the exchange rate either. If converted into US dollars, it would actually be US$10,000 and US$15,000. When converted into RMB, it would be about US$70,000 and US$100,000.
Three people, three thousand miles, and so much money. Traveling on a regular basis is no joke.
One tael is fifty grams, and ten taels is five hundred grams, which is one pound. Johnny's three gold bars are really not enough. These three gold bars are all small gold bars of one hundred grams each. Here they are only three hundred grams, which is six taels of gold.
"I choose the land route. The land route is faster." Shi Qiang took out five more gold bars without changing his expression: "Refund more and make up less." Eight gold bars are 800 grams, fifteen taels is 700 grams.
One or two more.
"Wait a moment." Lin Zhennan took out the iron scissors and began to inspect the goods. Gold can also be faked. As a businessman, he still needs to be cautious.
There was no problem with the eight gold bars. "No problem, I will arrange the best escorts immediately." Lin Zhennan immediately arranged the escorts and horses to escort Shi Qiang to Huashan.
Fuwei Escort Agency is rich, much richer than Huashan. After all, escort is a very promising profession. Their family has land and a house, including two places for their children.
The Huashan School has no money. Although Huashan is very big, no matter how big it is, it can't make much money. It can't open a scenic spot to collect tickets. Therefore, if Huashan Yue Buqun wanted to revitalize the Huashan Sect, he could only start from the perspective of martial arts, but his martial arts was just average.
If you are good at martial arts and attract more wealthy disciples, you will be able to develop. It's a pity that the Huashan Sect is no longer as good as it used to be. Back then, the Huashan Sect was full of talents, but after a hundred years of decline, there are only three or two kittens now.
Shi Qiang inquired about a lot of strange news on the road. The escorts traveled all over the country, so he was the most knowledgeable.
After asking around, I discovered that the current time point is that Dongfang Bubai has just replaced Ren Woxing as the leader of the Sun and Moon God Sect, and eight years have passed since the Five Mountains Sword Sect formed an alliance.
Eight years ago, Zuo Lengchan, the head of the Songshan Sect, invited Huashan, Hengshan, Taishan, and Hengshan to form an alliance, and elected himself as the leader of the alliance to discuss dealing with the Sun and Moon Sect.
As a result, the teaching director of the Sun Moon God Sect, Woxing, brought the four major protectors and more than 200 disciples to find a place. You must know that the total number of Wuyue Sword Sects is only over 500, and the average number of people per sect is only 100. At that time, the Sun Moon God Sect continued to develop and was indeed more powerful than the Five Mountains Sword Sect alone.
Ren Woxing defeated several leaders, and Zuo Lengchan was on equal footing with Zuo Lengchan, and finally Zuo Lengchan became the alliance leader.
After Ren Woxing went back, he went into seclusion and handed over the Sun Moon Sect to the deputy leader Dongfang Bubai. As a result, within a few years, Ren Woxing disappeared and Dongfang Bubai became the leader.
In fact, Shi Qiang knew that Ren Woxing was tied with Zuo Lengchan because of the backlash of "Star Absorbing Technique". Moreover, it was Dongfang Bubai who betrayed Ren Woxing, but Ren Woxing did not die, but was imprisoned under the West Lake.
Liu Zhengfeng of the Hengshan Sect has not yet washed his hands in a golden basin, but the confrontation between the Wuyue Sword Sect and the Sun and Moon Sect has become fierce, and right now there is no coexistence between good and evil.
However, the Wuyue Sword Sect is dominated by the Songshan Sect, and the other four sects are all in decline and are very weak.
The journey of three thousand miles was full of dust. The two bodyguards were martial arts practitioners. Although their internal strength was average, their physical strength was very good. They traveled day and night, traveling hundreds of miles a day. "It can be said that they arrived at Huashan Mountain after one use."
"""finally reached. "Shi Qiang has a deep understanding of the traffic efficiency in ancient times. It's not slow, it's very slow. "You two, this is a small thank you fee. "A small gold bar for each person.
"Brother Shi, you're welcome. You've been buying wine and meat along the way. We can't accept it." The escort still has principles.
"Take it. If you don't accept it, you won't give me face. I won't patronize your business in the future." Shi Xing said.
"Then we won't be polite." The two escorts didn't show any pretense. They collected the gold bars and went back.
Shi Qiang came alone and walked into Huashan.
The Huashan School is really poor and has not many disciples. It is really not as impressive as the Fuwei Escort Agency.
"Little Master, is your Master Yue at home?" Shi Qiang climbed up the mountain and saw a young man practicing his sword seriously.
"The head master is at home. Who are you and what do you do? I will inform you."
"Just say that I came to (Dehao Zhao) to discuss business." Shi Qiang said: "My name is Shi Qiang, your master doesn't know me.
"I'll report it." The young man looks very decent and looks very lovable.
Shi Qiang looked at the other person's back and thought, could this be Linghu Chong? He has a very peaceful temperament and a very upright appearance. He does look like a knight.
Soon, the young man came back and said: "Master invites you in, please come with me." The disciples of the sect are still very polite.
When he walked into the house, he saw a middle-aged man sitting upright. He was in his early forties and had a beard. He looked more like a scholar than a warrior.
Next to him is a gentle middle-aged heroine, whose charm is still there.
"Headmaster Yue, I have admired your name for a long time, and I have a long history."
"Nice to meet you. You said you wanted to discuss business with me, but I'm afraid you went to the wrong place. Our place is not a market." Yue Buqun said in confusion.
"The Huashan sect is short of money. I have money, so of course we can do business." Shi Qiang behaved like a nouveau riche, in one word - rich.
Yue Buqun fell silent because he was indeed short of money.
