Chapter 804: Six-tone rhythm and five-tone harmony
"It's time to work, don't be lazy!"
"I'm coming!"
"Ah Hu, go measure the water depth and check the terrain. Don't go to the mud flats, or the piles won't stand!"
"Don't worry, Old Li, everything is ready!"
There was a lot of noise on the river.
Water birds flew across the sky and looked down. Officials from the river and port offices rode in small boats, scattering the river surface like a handful of black sesame seeds. Large ships came and went, dumping materials. Sea beasts dragged stones deep into the river, working hard to build their new nests.
From now on, most of the sea merchants and water beasts will stay in Jianghuai and trade with humans.
As for the permanent residence of maritime merchants, the top leaders of the Hebo Office had already decided long ago that it would be located on the winding line connecting Pingyang Prefecture and Jiangchuan County, slightly closer to Pingyang and slightly farther from Jiangchuan.
The three are in a pincer attack against each other.
In fact, maritime merchants are different from mermaids. According to previous experience, as for trade, they can be placed along the coast, half on land and half on water, so that the exchange of materials can be faster.
However, this proposal was rejected.
Liang Qu finally figured it out afterwards.
If it is placed at the junction of land and water, half of the transportation will be by land and half by water. The Monster Hunting Bureau, the Three Law Courts, including local government offices, will have reasons to get involved in accounting, taxation, security, etc. If it is placed outside the land, all transactions will be carried out on the water. In terms of the scope of authority, the River and Lake Office can firmly grasp the initiative.
As for the construction of residences, the merchants had to do it themselves, and the court only made some requirements and provided a little assistance.
however……
The originally planned good situation has now encountered a small problem.
"Beiyu wants to charge a toll?"
On the deck of the ship, Liang Qu tightened his cloak.
It was a chilly spring day and the sea merchants arrived too early. It was daybreak and he had not yet emerged from his warm bed when Li Libo came to call him. His mind was not very clear and he was immediately confused when he heard what Ke Wenbin said.
He glanced at Haifangzhu who was talking with Su Guishan, Xu Yuelong and others, and his thoughts turned.
"Does it really say tolls?"
"It's not a toll, it's protection money." Xiang Fangsu took a sip of soy milk and stuffed a fried dough stick into Liang Qu's pocket. "Although it's not explicitly stated, it should mean that if you don't pay the protection fee, don't come to it if something goes wrong with the caravan in the future."
Liang Qu took a bite of the crispy head and asked: "Does it mean there is a dragon inside?"
"Maybe."
"It's really troublesome, is there any way?"
"Aren't we discussing this?" Xiang Fangsu raised his head slightly and lowered his chin towards Xu Yuelong.
"I don't think I can escape." Ke Wenbin lamented, "A thief can steal for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days."
Beiyu is in charge of the estuary of the Jianghuai Lake. Normally, a few water beasts coming in and out would not attract the attention of the fish. The maritime merchants really have no way to deal with it as the noise is too loud.
And the permanent one is different from the twice a year one.
If the number of times is small, we can concentrate our efforts on big things, put a few more big monsters in the team to deter the villains. If the number of times is too large, it won't work because we don't have enough manpower and resources.
Several masters do not do their work all day long. They run back and forth, and they make money without doing anything on the other side.
If anything goes wrong, Beiyu will have a ghost mother who will teach you a universal scapegoat.
Maybe you don't have to take the blame.
Too many lice don't make you itch, too many debts don't make you worry. The Jiaolong and the Ghost Mother Sect have always had ambiguous feelings towards each other. Once the news was released, the Ghost Mother Sect couldn't wait to rob people and get the benefits to improve their daily diet of eating sashimi.
"The Jianghuai Lake needs the Dragon King." Xiang Fangsu put down the porcelain bowl. "Once the Dragon King appears, why should we let the small princes occupy the pass? It's a good deal, why do we need to go through so many twists and turns?"
Thoughts wander without reason.
Liang Qu munched on the fried dough sticks silently.
After the negotiations between the two sides were concluded, Kaifangzhu led part of the merchant caravan to the land, and most of the fleet followed.
Come here.
The merchants of course did not come here just for permanent stays, they also brought a lot of goods with them.
Before it was completely light, Liang Qu rowed his boat to catch up.
"Xiao Shui!"
Haifangzhu disturbed the waves and pulled Liangqu closer. He stuffed five large treasure fish into it as usual, and then, with the help of the treasure fish as cover, he secretly placed a small blue stone jar inside.
Liang Qu had asked Hai Fangzhu for it in the morning, and now that the item was in his hands, he couldn't help but confirm it again. "Master Fangzhu, what's in the jar..."
"Yuanliu, a top-grade long-lasting energy." Haifangzhu whispered, "I got it from the Horned Shark King in exchange. It is said to be obtained from a trench 100,000 meters deep. It has the ability to strengthen the body, mobilize water flow, and control water pressure. It is exactly what you want, Xiaoshui."
perfect!
Another breath of air is obtained!
Last year, Liang Qu promised Long Binglin that he would find a suitable long energy for him to advance to the Grandmaster level this year, and he was pinning his hopes on the sea merchants!
The ocean is vast and rich in resources. The monsters do not need the long-lasting energy of heaven and earth. Although they will not collect it deliberately, in their long life, they will always come across a few strands by chance and take them in.
Now it's all done.
The best and medium-long breath can basically have some additional effects, but the former is obvious and the latter is weak, so the best and medium grades are divided according to the degree of strength.
Like Taiyin's long energy.
After Long Eying uses it, she has both ice-attributed magical powers and the characteristics of a strong man under the moon.
In fact, the characteristics of long qi and one's own supernatural powers can be completely confused.
On the surface, Long Binglin can use the Xuanhuang Changqi to advance and build his own water-attributed magical powers.
Liang Qu can use the long-lasting energy of the deep flow to cover up his ability to control water with Ze Ling!
The Hornet Shark King would surely see that Umibozu was in urgent need of it, and the cost of temporarily exchanging this water attribute for longevity would probably be quite high.
A pair of intertwined arms and legs, a clam pearl, and a wisp of superior long energy.
earned a lot.
Liang Qu felt a little embarrassed.
"Master, Lord..."
"It's okay, as long as Xiaoshui is happy. I just happen to have something important to do, so I can't take care of Xiaoshui for the time being."
I don't know whether Kaifangzhu saw it or misunderstood it, so he answered first.
As the morning light gradually brightened, Liang Qu looked at the long caravan of sea beasts behind him, understood what he meant, picked up the precious fish and the blue stone jar, and hurried home.
On the ship, Ke Wenbin and Xiang Fangsu looked at each other with disdain.
Liang's house.
Liang Qu opened the blue stone jar.
Before I could see clearly, a huge vapor blew towards me and the sound of the sea tide echoed in my ears, as if there were millions of essences in the cauldron.
Take him in to Ze Ding first and see what Ze Ding says.
Swish!
[If you obtain a wisp of the abyss's flowing energy and merge it with the essence of ten thousand water bodies, you will be able to give birth to a spirit fish, which has mysterious effects.]
Inside the Ze Ding, there is one green, one dark yellow, and one blue-black.
Three long strands of air swaying!
[Creation], [Xuan Huang], [Deep Flow]!
【Xuanhuang: Yellow is the center of the universe, and it is in the right position. It is rich in six tones and harmonizes the five sounds, bringing the vitality of the peaceful world.】
[Yuanliu: The sea is vast and boundless, the current is deep and turbulent. ]
Xuanhuang and Yuanliu, the time it takes to get the two long wisps of energy is almost less than three days!
Communicate with Ze Ding.
The effect is roughly the same as what Umibozu said, warming the body and controlling water flow and pressure.
But Liang Qu still loves Xuan Huang.
Huang is in the middle of the melody, and it is in the right position, containing the essence and being in the right place. It is good at the six tones and also harmonizes the five tones.
With Liang Qu's current knowledge, the meaning is not difficult to understand.
Yellow is the central color.
The heart is located among the five internal organs, so it is called Huangzhong.
Han Zhang and Ju Zhen are both introverted and beautiful.
However, the most noteworthy thing is definitely that it not only has six tones but also pentatonic notes!
Snapped!
Liang Qu opened the bamboo tube.
"Time Bug, get to work!"
