Liang Qu stood up and felt the difference in the energy and blood in his body. Compared with before practicing, it is a little mellower. "It's a pity that the dragon and tiger's golden bodies are far apart, but the strong energy has begun to show results, and the transportation of energy and blood becomes smoother and more comfortable." Condensing the golden body is the biggest feature of the Diamond Sutra of Subduing the Dragon and Subduing the Tiger, although it is divided into multiple stages. The deeper the practice, the stronger the golden body. If there are corresponding heavenly materials and earthly treasures to assist, the practice can be accelerated. But no matter what, it is impossible to successfully condense it as soon as you start it. Then this technique would be too shocking. Dragon tendons and tiger bones are beneficial to the condensation of the golden body. Liang Qu himself was favored by the Emperor of Sichuan, his martial arts talent doubled, and he learned martial arts and martial arts faster than ordinary people. Even so, if you want to initially condense a golden body, it will take no less than a few months without heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Liang Qu didn't know how fast others were, but he thought they were far inferior to his own. He was very greedy for the effects of the Dragon-Tiger Golden Body, especially the characteristics of the dragon's roar and tiger's roar during its execution, which could frighten the sneaky and slay evil spirits and subdue demons.
There are a lot of techniques in the Great Gong Exchange Book with various characteristics. Although he didn't look carefully, he didn't have the impression that any technique had such characteristics. It was probably rare. The world is full of wonders, and any strange phenomenon will appear as long as you look for it in a large enough range. Having one more rare skill is definitely not a bad thing. "Comfortable! Sleep!" After returning from Fengbu County and making great achievements, Liang Qu got two days off and had no intention of starting work in a hurry. Worker, take a night off. the next day. Aunt Zhang, who was cooking, pushed in through the side door and saw Liang Qu waving Fu Bo and practicing his marksmanship in the courtyard. "My boss is back?" "Yes, I came back last night. Good morning, Aunt Zhang. You can make more breakfast. Oh, by the way, I won't be eating at home tonight. The portion is enough for a master." "I have something to do tonight, so there is no need to leave food for me." The old monk opened the door, came to the courtyard, and saluted. Liang Qu nodded and didn't ask the old monk what he was going to do. The two of them had what they needed while living under the same roof, so it was not good to ask too many questions. "Then don't cook tonight. Aunt Zhang will go back and rest after cooking at noon." Aunt Zhang nodded in agreement. Liang Qu gave her a holiday and the monthly salary was quite high. She was happy to have half a day of leisure time. "By the way, Aunt Zhang, are the food prices still rising recently? If so, I will give you some more money to save you from running out." Liang Qu took out a silver ingot from his arms. She has a big appetite for martial arts training and needs a lot of beef and mutton for meals. The food money alone is a big expense every month. Aunt Zhang's small salary is not enough to cover it. Naturally, she has to pay first and then settle the account at the end of the month.
Aunt Zhang waved her hand: "Enough, enough, food prices have dropped!" Liang Qu wondered. "Falled? How did it fall? April isn't the time to harvest grain, right?" "It just dropped yesterday. My man told me that the polished rice in the rice shop now costs thirteen cents per catty. It is not as good as before when it was eight cents per catty, but it is still much cheaper. I don’t know why it fell. It only took two or three days for it to suddenly fall. " Aunt Zhang danced and gestured. She was very excited, but her knowledge was limited and she didn't understand why the price of rice dropped before the harvest. "It's the county magistrate." The old monk on the side spoke. "Master, do you know?" "I haven't heard everything, but I can roughly guess that on the day the donor left, the county government ordered the price of grain in the county to be raised again, and the grain was sold at a price of twenty cents per catty, which was two cents higher than the original market price. Then he sent people along the river to ask for food and spread the word. Lao Na read it carefully and found that those who spread the news mainly traveled along the river. Huainan has developed water transportation, and there are many grain storage facilities along the river. In many places, grain is in excess. On the fifth day, merchant ships came to sell grain, and more and more came one after another. The docks of several surrounding towns were crowded with grain ships. Until the day before yesterday, the county magistrate stopped raising prices, and grain prices plummeted. " "I see." Liang Qu suddenly realized. Lowering the price is not possible, but the merchants are too happy to raise the price. They are also afraid that the county government will not agree, but they do not expect that they will cheat themselves. It is all grain, and they can be sold at a high price. No wonder he saw several large merchant ships heading towards Pingyang County on his way back. Businessmen seeking profits must have never heard the news that food prices have dropped? Transporting grain by water is not that simple. The labor cost plus losses, if the price is only thirteen or fourteen cents per pound, will definitely not attract anyone. Coming and going, it is very likely to cause a loss, which is far worse than selling locally. After arriving, the county magistrate stopped collecting grain, and the merchants could only sell it locally, because bringing it back would be another loss and cost. The original local grain price was not as good as that in Pingyang County. The food shortage in Pingyang is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. There were no major floods or droughts in the past two years, and many surrounding places have sufficient food reserves. In another place, it would never have the same effect. … After lunch, Liang Qu went to the stables and rode up Chishan, carrying a large pile of gifts to Pingyang County. On the way, Liang Qu saw the construction of the Hebosuo. The soldiers were more or less warriors.
Their hands and feet are much faster than ordinary people, and their efficiency is doubled. The entire riverside place has become more impressive, and I am afraid that it won't be long before the office location can be changed from a building ship to land. After all, there are many inconveniences on board ships. On the other side of Pingyang County, the government offices of the Anti-Monster Division are also being built in an orderly manner, with progress going forward. When Liang Qu passed by, he saw a martial artist carrying a wild boar over four meters long, gutting it and selling wild boar meat. Occasionally, martial artists passed by and bought more than ten kilograms of meat. Looking at the physique of the wild boar, it must have become a spirit. I don’t know which mountain it was caught on. If it were Pingyang Town before, this scene would rarely be seen. A prosperous scene. It’s not unreasonable that masters like to gather together. In small places, you can’t find a place to buy and sell some spirit meat. Ordinary people have to move to the county town when they make money. A powerful martial artist wants to go to the prefecture and the imperial capital to fight for illusory wealth. Passing by the martial arts hall, Liang Qu dismounted, took out two from the many gift boxes, and walked through the corridor. “Brother Hu, Brother Xiang! I’m back!” “Brother Liang!” Hu Qi and Xiang Changsong were teaching apprentices. Seeing that it was Liang Qu, they let the apprentices practice on their own. Unexpectedly, after a few steps closer, both of them noticed Liang Qu's undisguised martial arts aura, and their expressions changed. Hu Qi took a step forward and put his arm around Liang Qu's shoulders, looking him up and down. "Brother Liang, have you broken through the blood barrier?" "Brother Hu has a good eye! From today on, I am a serious fourth-level martial artist!" Liang Qu smiled happily and shared the things in his hand with the two. "Fast, too fast." Xiang Changsong took the gift box. He thought it would take some time for Liang Qu to catch up with him, but he didn't expect it to be almost as fast as him. He still clearly remembered how Liang Qu looked when he first came to the martial arts hall. He was thin, dark and short, and only had one advantage, politeness. In a blink of an eye. Strong, bright, warm, that kind of youthful vigor burst out. "Good, really good." Xiang Changsong patted Liang Qu's shoulder, feeling a lot in his heart. Hu Qi took the gift box and asked, "Why did you think of sending us something? Did you run into trouble?" "No, it's a happy event!"
The news of Hebo Office was only spread within Hebo Office, and Hu Qi and others didn't know it yet. Liang Qu told about his experience in Fengbu County. "I thought it was an ordinary monster causing trouble, but unexpectedly, I was given two great merits and a large sum of money for no reason. Brother Xu said that I have the hope of being promoted to an official position. I was so happy that I bought some gifts to celebrate with my senior brother! I have booked a private room in the restaurant last night. I will go to see my master and his wife, and we will chat together in the evening!" Hu Qi and Xiang Changsong scratched their heads when they heard it. What year is it tonight? Liang Qu has only been away for less than half a month, right?
