Chapter 2446 Thousands of gold to buy horse bones

Fang Yun tossed it casually, and three sealed wooden boxes flew in front of the three of them.

The three of them hurriedly caught it and thanked Fang Yun.

Xu Changgeng suddenly exclaimed, while Dong Yueqian and Li Zhixiao looked at him in surprise.

Xu Changgeng's hands were trembling, and he said with surprise and joy: "May I ask the Prime Minister, this wooden box is made of a thousand-year-old demon wood."

Fang Yun smiled and said, "You are quite knowledgeable."

Dong Yueqian and Li Zhixiao both realized that this thing was unusual, but they didn't know what the thousand-year-old demon tree was.

Xu Changgeng added: "As early as last year, I had the honor to attend the full moon celebration of the son of Mr. Chen Jing of the Chen Sheng family. I saw with my own eyes a great scholar who presented a box of Kai Zhi Ling incense. A kid from the family next to him explained that the grandson of Kai Zhi Ling incense was a gift. The wooden box of Zhilingxiang is a century-old demon wood. The man also said that if it is a thousand-year-old demon wood, the texture of the wooden box must be dark red, and the contents will be even more extraordinary. "

No matter how ignorant Dong Yueqian and Li Zhixiao are, they have both heard the name of the incense to open up wisdom. It is a sacred item that only the saints and aristocratic families can afford. Children under the age of 18 will be wise in the future if they can get incense to open up wisdom. Extraordinary, this is one of the reasons why the average academic rank of the disciples of the All Saints family is higher than that of ordinary families.

The three of them looked at each other with ecstasy on their faces.

Xu Changgeng blushed and asked in a low voice: "Master Xiang, can I open it now and take a look?"

The three of them immediately stared at Fang Yun like curious little animals, their eyes full of expectation.

Fang Yun smiled and nodded.

The three people immediately opened the box, and bursts of fragrance hit their nostrils. They saw that there was a light yellow incense stick as thick as chopsticks, which was placed inside with a yellow silk base. It was a foot long. Apart from the strange smell, which made people feel relaxed and happy, there was nothing. Something special.

The three of them are not as knowledgeable as Fang Yun, but they are not stupid. The hundred-year-old demon wood contains the spiritual incense of enlightenment. The rich decoration of the thousand-year demon tree is almost ready to appear.

The holy incense that enlightens wisdom.

Each kind of divine object has a high or low level in the minds of scholars. If it is a wisdom-enhancing incense, it may be better than the health fruit in the eyes of many scholars, but not as good as the longevity fruit. After all, it is important to live a few more years. The disadvantage of Kaizhi Lingxiang is that it is only applicable before the age of eighteen, and is useless when you are older.

However, this Holy Incense for Wisdom is different. Regardless of age, even an old man like Tian Songshi who is over a hundred years old can still use the Holy Incense for Wisdom to enhance his wisdom.

It can be said that in the minds of scholars, the Sacred Incense of Knowledge is the top divine item. Many people would rather exchange their lifespans of more than ten or even twenty years for the Sacred Incense of Knowledge to improve their academic status, which is far more valuable than living for many years. value.

"Is this... too expensive..." Dong Yueqian looked at Fang Yun, feeling tangled in his heart. If it was an ordinary thing, he would just take it. But for such a valuable thing, even a great scholar from aristocratic families might not be able to get one in his lifetime, so he was a little afraid to accept it.

Li Zhixiao looked helpless, while Xu Changgeng turned his head and looked at Dong Yueqian with extremely stern eyes, with a strong warning.

This is a magical thing that can truly turn him around. Xu Changgeng will never allow Dong Yueqian to ruin his future.

Fang Yun smiled and said: "This thing is indeed valuable, but I gained a lot from the Holy Burial Valley. For me, it is nothing more than giving some processing fees to the Holy Court."

The main ingredient of the Holy Incense of Kaizhi is the Holy Ambergris of the Whale Saint. It is rare for humans to get a piece of it in a hundred years. Fang Yun got a lot of it from the ruins of Dragon City back then, but the total amount is still limited.

However, there is the Xuantian River in the Burial Saint Valley.

Fang Yun helped the Double-headed Dragon Saint a lot, and the Double-headed Dragon Saint personally promised that Fang Yun could take whatever he didn't need.

Fang Yun was not polite either. He would take as much as he could for whatever he and the human race needed.

Among them, there is a large amount of ambergris and holy ambergris.

The whale monster ambergris was just a common spice in the ancient dragon tribe. At that time, the whale tribe had a huge number and occupied more than a hundred planets alone, so the production of ambergris was extremely large.

The Dragon Palace of the Double-headed Dragon Saint was part of the ancient South China Sea Dragon Palace, including the most important warehouse.

The two-headed dragon saint didn't care about the ambergris at all, so Fang Yun took them all.

In addition to ordinary ambergris, there is also a large amount of holy ambergris in the Xuantianjiang Dragon Palace. This kind of divine object that enlightens and increases wisdom for all races is actually regarded as ordinary by the two-headed dragon saint. spices.

At that time, Fang Yun criticized the extravagant waste and lavishness of the Two-Headed Dragon Saint with a very sad mood, and then after all his good words, he wanted to take away all the Saint Ambergris. However, after all, this kind of thing is much more important than ordinary magic medicine. Fang Yun also asked the two-headed dragon saint to take three kinds of light brewing wine from the brewing light bottle. Both of them were very happy.

Ambergris is different from ordinary magical medicines and is more valuable than algae and fish. Fang Yun did not contribute a large amount of this kind of special magical item to the Holy Academy, only one-tenth of it. Fang Yun even made a prohibited list, prohibiting some people or families from exchanging his contributions from the Holy Court.

After all, ambergris and algae can make people stronger from generation to generation. If they are given to the enemy, it is tantamount to digging their own graves.

Xu Changgeng held the thousand-year-old demon wooden box in his hand and said, "Student, thank you, Mr. Zuo Xiang!"

Li Zhixiao's eyes changed slightly, but Dong Yueqian didn't change at all.

Xu Changgeng changed his name to "student", which is tantamount to wanting to become Fang Yun's disciple.

Fang Yun looked at the three of them and said: "I heard that when Liu Shan was serving as Minister and Left Prime Minister, he was extremely strict in selecting his subordinates. He never showed favoritism and only selected people based on their talents. Some of his relatives, friends and disciples were unable to work under him. .”

The three of them were sweating profusely.

Xu Changgeng and Dong Yueqian did not dare to speak.

Li Zhixiao said helplessly: "I have reported to the Prime Minister that this is indeed the case. Every year after the imperial examination selects Jinshi, Academician Liu will get the list immediately, and then look through the lives of all the Jinshi from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Wen Palace, and select some people. Basically, Zuo Xiangge will increase his number by two to three a year. A new Jinshi serves as a Tongshisheren and is awarded the eighth grade. At the same time, Liu Dashi will also transfer some unsatisfactory Tongshisheren every year. Once he has served in Zuoxiangge for more than three years, he will be awarded Liu Dashi. With the favor of the emperor, he may be appointed as a local official, or he may be selected for important positions in the capital."

Xu Changgeng added: "Before Scholar Liu resigned as left prime minister, the student served as general secretary for one and a half years. Li Zhixiao and Dong Yueqian both served for more than two years, but less than three years."

Fang Yun nodded and said: "I also heard that Liu Shan likes to give comments to outstanding subordinates. If they are incompetent, Liu Shan will not even comment a word. What kind of comments have you three received from Liu Shan?"

The expressions of the three of them were even more ugly.

Li Zhixiao gritted his teeth and said: "Master Liu's comment to me is that I am a virtuous and capable official."

Fang Yun looked at Xu Changgeng.

Xu Changgeng said helplessly: "Be good at thinking and flexible."

Dong Yueqian also replied: "Diligence and loyalty."

Fang Yun suddenly smiled happily and said, "I'm actually very lucky today. Before the Ghost Festival this year, the three of you remember to send a letter to Liu Shan, saying thank you for his cultivation over the years."

The three of them didn't know the reason, so they just nodded.

Fang Yun added: "The positions of Tongshi Sheren and Zhongshu Sheren will not be changed, but the position of Zhongshu of the Cabinet will be added, a total of two people. It is equivalent to serving as the link between the Prime Minister and the cabinet, one person The person responsible for conveying the Prime Minister’s orders can also be regarded as assisting the Prime Minister in coordinating the cabinet staff, and the other person is responsible for affairs. Can you three tell me which two people in the cabinet are suitable for the position of Secretary of the Cabinet? "
