Chapter 603: Strange Place

Zhu Yunwen frowned and asked, "Weak? Let's hear it specifically." As he said that, Zhu Yunwen put a small gold nugget in his arms in front of Yuan Liu, "As long as you answer to satisfy me, this is yours."

Yuan Liu's eyes lit up. He originally thought that Zhu Yunwen was a murderous madman, but he didn't expect that his curiosity would actually ask him to exchange a piece of gold for it. This is too profitable. Could this person be a rich man?

Yuan Liu smiled and took the gold handed to him by Zhu Yunwen. The fear just now became gone. He thought for a while and said, "If you want to say that he is walking, there is no problem, but for some reason, I just think he is very weak."

"It's like those dying people who are looking back before they die, but I'm not sure about the old man's condition." Yuan Liu said, "But there is no doubt that the old man can't take him away at all. I want to give it to Xu Fu."

"So at the request of the old man, I was going to take the woman I wanted to give to Xu Fu to another place." Yuan Liu frowned and said, "It was a place I had never been to at all. It took only half a day to go to sea with a boat."

"But this time, we walked for three days."

"Three days?" Zhu Yunwen was slightly surprised, "Where did you go? It's so far? Did you go by carriage?"

"It must be." Yuan Liu said strangely, "After all, we still have an old man and a woman, so we can't carry it on our backs. In Fujian, there is a thousand miles of mountains, which are rarely visited, and many birds and beasts live in the mountains."

Zhu Yunwen has heard of the thousands of miles of mountains that Yuan Liu mentioned. This is the place where the dragon veins of Chu were located during the Warring States Period. The ancestors of Chu found the power of the dragon vein symbolizing the royal power among these mountains.

In fact, the dragon veins of the six kingdoms are hidden in the mountains, and the Qinling Mountains in China are among the dragon veins of the six kingdoms. At first glance, it seems like a dragon's spine. These places are full of yang energy. If people live here, it will not be difficult to live for a hundred years.

However, because Qin Shihuang used the power of the dragon veins from the Qinling Mountains and combined with the Book of Heaven to take over the dragon veins of the six kingdoms for himself, the dragon veins of the Chu State gradually disappeared, and the thousands of miles of mountains that had lost the protection of the dragon veins were gradually no longer inhabited, and there was also a forbidden area that people dared not set foot on.

Now, only those herbicides who go up the mountain to collect wild plants dare to go to the mountains thousands of miles away.

At that time, Yuan Liu discovered that the old man was actually moving through the mountains with them. Yuan Liu was very scared, but when he thought that Xu Fu had not harmed them for so long, he let go of the doubts in his heart.

Under the leadership of the old man, Yuan Liu and others were actually walking on an ancient road. The ancient road was very old. If the old man hadn't taken Yuan Liu and others, there might have been no one to discover it there.

Because Qianli Mountains are not far from Fuzhou, Yuan Liu and others only stayed in Qianli Mountains for three days before reaching their destination. Yuan Liu found that they had arrived at a place surrounded by mountains, which means that the old man brought them into the valley.

The old man took them into the valley. After turning left and right, Yuan Liu found that they had come to a village. The houses in this village were like people were busy with their own affairs, as if they had not seen Yuan Liu.

Yuan Liu let down his vigilance. Just someone is fine, but someone means that this place is not that secret. Isn’t it just a group of people who live in seclusion in the mountains and forests? However, the indifference of these village names made Yuan Liu slightly unhappy.

This is no longer indifference, it is completely ignored. He doesn't even say hello, and the old man is like a commonplace, and he doesn't introduce it to Yuan Liu and others.

Yuan Liu felt relieved when he thought that he and Xu Fu were just in a transaction relationship. Others really had no obligation to answer him. In the end, the old man brought them into a dark room. In that room, Yuan Liu felt the coldness that he had never felt before.

However... Xu Fu still did not show up. The old man handed over some money to Yuan Liu and signaled that he could leave. If it were just like this, Yuan Liu might not be interested in this place. But the problem is that Yuan Liu asked very curiously:

"Where is Xu Fu? He lives in this village, but I see that the boat he rides is not as affordable as this group of villagers."

The old man looked at Yuan Liu with deep eyes, "Yuan Liu, you don't understand some things so clearly. There is no meaning. You just need to leave with your money."

Yuan Liu put away the money, he looked at the old man deeply, then took the money and left the cabin. He walked out of the valley. When he passed a house, he subconsciously said to the man sitting with the sun, "How long have you lived here?"

The man seemed to have not seen Yuan Liu, and he still squinted his eyes and looked up above the valley. Yuan Liu came to the man curiously and looked up with his eyes, but there was nothing on it. Yuan Liu was a little speechless. Are all the people in this village mute?

But the next second, Yuan Liu was scared. He held back his mind and took his subordinates to leave the valley quickly. From then on, no matter what the situation was, Yuan Liu did not dare to take people to the valley.

When Zhu Yunwen heard this, he asked, "What the hell is that what makes you so scared?"

Although it had been a long time, Yuan Liu's eyes could not hide his horror, "You... do you know that that person is silencing the sun, silencing the sun."

"What's wrong with the sun?"

"But...but I am standing in front of him." Yuan Liu's tone was full of disbelief, "In other words, the sun shone on my body and hit his face, but there was no shadow at all."

"That...that's not a human at all... because he still looks like a sun, but there is no shadow of me on his face." Yuan Liu said in fear, "They...they are all ghosts...I felt very scary at that moment, and that's right. It's been more than ten years, but no one has been completely unchanged."

"Even if it is well maintained, it cannot be perfect to that level. It's like... it's immortality." Yuan Liu looked at Zhu Yunwen and said, "Today you come to Xu Fu, you should know him, or have a grudge with him. Can you tell me who he is?"

It can be seen that this incident is much deeper than the shock and curiosity that Zhu Yunwen gave him just now, so Yuan Liu let go of his fear and told Zhu Yunwen about it. Because after so long, Zhu Yunwen was the only person who revealed that he knew Xu Fu.

Zhu Yunwen shook his head, "I do know him and have some grudges with him... But I can't tell you about his origin. As long as you know, he is a very dangerous person and is an existence you can't afford to offend."

"Yes...is it?" Yuan Liu sighed, "Why am I so unlucky? I'm so busy in Fuzhou Port and actually got into such a person."

Zhu Yunwen asked curiously, "You know his horror, don't you leave yet? You can completely refuse to trade with him."

Yuan Liu spread his hands and said helplessly, "It's not just for one money. We went out to make more money. Although Xu Fu is weird, he is generous and does things for him. No bad things have happened except that time."

"So, for my own life and for the lives of my subordinates, we should continue to do it." Yuan Liu said, "Anyway, if you make less money from other things, help him. Although it is dangerous but you make more money, you might as well do things that make more money, right?"

"Tsk, I'm so proud." Liu Xin was originally like a canary, and she was not concerned about these things, but what Yuan Liu said obviously made her very disdainful. "Those three girls just now didn't see you treating them well."

"And don't tell me that there are only these three girls. As one of the snake heads in Fuzhou Port, have you been harming fewer girls? And you know what happened to the woman you gave to Xu Fu? You also said that for the life of your subordinates."

Yuan Liu blushed. Although he didn't know who this beautiful woman suddenly appeared, he must be in the same group as the young man who threatened him just now. Yuan Liu said, "I said it all. This is called Zhou Yu hit Huang Gai, one is willing to beat the other is willing to be beaten."

"I gave the money, and those people got the money, and then gave me their daughters. I used them to continue making money. This is a transaction. I can't buy it and give it to them for delicious food and drink. I'm just a living person, not a rich man or a charity."

"And my conditions here are much better than others. Others will really throw away or kill disobedient women, but I won't. At least for so long, I just said I'd punish them."

"Hmph." Liu Xin held his hands, and seemed to not want to listen to Yuan Liu at all. Zhu Yunwen shook his head with a smile. He said to Yuan Liu, "Don't tell me what happened today. This little gold nugget is even some reward for you."

"As for the three women outside, we will take them with you, no problem." The joke was that Yuan Liu spent ten taels of silver to buy a woman, and this small gold nugget might be worth 100 taels of silver.

Yuan Liu nodded, "No problem, of course no problem, brother, go slow." Speaking of the three women outside, Yuan Liu suddenly remembered that Zhu Yunwen threatened him just now. Thinking of this, Yuan Liu felt a chill in his waist.

Zhu Yunwen blinked at Yuan Liu, "Maybe, we will really see each other again. Yuan Liu, there will be a date later." As he said that, Zhu Yunwen took Liu Xin away. Before leaving, Liu Xin glared at Yuan Liu, then picked up the stones on the ground, threw them over, and knocked Yuan Liu out.

Liu Xin's appearance made Zhu Yunwen feel a little funny. He looked at Liu Xin and said, "You were very indifferent to these things before. Why do you like to come out and meddle in these other people's business now?"

Liu Xin curled her lips and patted the gray on her hand, "To be honest, I'm too lazy to care about these things. I just saw it now, I'm just pitiful for these innocent women."

"Haha." Zhu Yunwen said with a smile, "Actually, I am already considering whether to issue an order to regulate this place. I think it is a bit against others if I put away the woman and carry things in this way."

In his mind, Zhu Meier said, "This kind of thing is actually difficult to eliminate. After all, you can improve the management of a Fuzhou Port, but you can't manage those villagers who sell their daughters. If you can't sell Fuzhou Port, they will also sell their daughters elsewhere."

"Yeah." Zhu Yunwen nodded. It is indeed very simple to eliminate Fuzhou Port, but how to eliminate such a phenomenon does require careful consideration, because such a policy is very large.

In Zhu Yunwen's mind, he actually had some considerations about these issues. Why not imitate the Western birth policy in his previous life? As long as you have more children, the court will give you subsidies. At the same time, in order to prevent the phenomenon of multiple children, land taxes can be adjusted appropriately.

In other words, if you have an extra girl in your family, the court will fund you one tael of silver. For a rural family, this tael of silver will cost two months. At the same time, for every extra child, the tax will be reduced a little.

In this way, it can not only reduce the burden of raising villagers, but also make them more willing to raise children. However, in this way, the court will receive less agricultural taxes, and behind this may be the changes in a country's economy.

Zhu Yunwen knew that the implementation of one policy requires the supplement of another policy, that is, if agricultural taxes are reduced, he must obtain these taxes from other places. Otherwise, if even basic scheduling is not possible, it would be a bit unworthy of the loss.

This unblocking of the sea ban did give Zhu Yunwen a certain confidence. The greater the trade volume of sea trade, the higher the feasibility of his implementation of this policy, and if the countries in the Western Regions are recovered in the future, they can connect to the Silk Road on the land.

By then, trade with both sides together, the benefits can be maximized.

However, the most urgent task is to deal with Xu Fu's affairs. In fact, Zhu Yunwen is still very curious about how Xu Fu lived forever, what kind of secret method existed.
