Becoming a God from a Water Monkey

Chapter 385: Easier to earn money!

River and lake.

Liang Qu looked around and knocked on the table.

"Where's Shoufu?"

"Master Li is taking a rest today. I wonder what orders Lord Liang has for you?"

Chief Clerk Huang Pingchang put down the paper in his hand and stood up to answer.

Liang Qu didn't hesitate and handed over the seal: "Please help me exchange three bottles of Shensi Dan."

The main purpose of exchanging things with acquaintances is to have peace of mind, and it doesn’t matter if you can’t find them. Huang Pingchang has also met them several times.

"Hold on."

Huang Pingchang rolled up his sleeves, took the seal with both hands, and went to the bookshelf to find the Liang Qu file.

According to the number of small merits required for the Shensi Dan, Huang Pingchang crossed out the small merits on the account, wrote down the purpose, then opened the red clay, stamped it with the seals of both parties, and issued a note.

After a while, an official brought a tray with three small porcelain bottles with round bellies and thin necks standing steadily on it.

Liang Qu opened the bottle and shook it. There were five pills in the bottle, and the medicinal aroma was strong.

Fresh goods.

To comprehend the master's spirit, one usually has to take Shensi Dan. It is said that after taking it, one will feel as if they are in the scene, and will get twice the result with half the effort.

Liang Qu originally thought that with his triple martial arts talent, he could bypass the need for external aids and save money on elixirs.

Unexpectedly, after three days, things turned out to be more difficult than I had imagined.

The charm of communication secrets does not seem to be entirely determined by talent.

Huang Pingchang flipped through two pages of the merit book and reminded him, "Sir Liang, three bottles of Shensi Pills require a total of 45 small merits. After the exchange, there will not be many small merits left in your account."

Liang Qu was stunned: "So fast?"

Huang Pingchang said: "According to what is written in the merit book, you must exchange three cockscomb fruits every day, and occasionally exchange them for qi-boosting pills. The small merits you can accumulate are actually not that many.

In addition, you have exchanged for a boat map, a boat crossbow, a porpoise, and several medium-quality elixirs, all of which are major items, often dozens or even hundreds of them.

From August to October last year, you worked on flood control in Huazhu County, and although you achieved little success, your expenses continued.

The harvest increased slightly in November, but from January to early March, perhaps due to the holidays, it fell again, and income and expenditure were barely even. "

After hearing Huang Pingchang's report, Liang Qu fell silent for a moment.

I didn't expect to spend so much.

It's more than just a small achievement.

After Liu Quanfu was assigned to build the Fu ship, he had little money left.

Fortunately, every penny has its destination, which is to be transformed into strength and assets.

The money and the small achievements did not disappear!

They just changed the way they accompany each other!
Huang Pingchang continued, "There is one more thing I must tell you. I saw in the merit book that most of Sir Liang's small merits came from hunting monsters and clearing shallow waters.

There was no problem originally, but since April this year, the regular task of clearing out the monsters in shallow waters will no longer be carried out. Only a few counties and districts have retained it, and the rest have switched to going out on boats to catch treasure fish. "

When Huang Pingchang was talking with Liang Qu, many people in the filing room pricked up their ears.

Big news!

The mission of cleaning up the shallow water area and gaining some small credit was going to be cancelled!
Liang Qu seemed to be thinking about something.

Expected.

Monsters in shallow water areas will not spawn again after being killed.

Goblins are somewhat smarter than ordinary beasts.

After killing so many, they realized how powerful they were and fled to the depths of the swamp, shrinking their range and naturally their numbers gradually decreased.

Hunting monsters and clearing shallow waters is aimed at opening up fishing areas and increasing output.

After a year, the goal is achieved and naturally it is no longer retained.

On weekdays, the daily patrols by He Bo and the river chief are sufficient to maintain the situation.

If ordinary martial artists want to continue to obtain safe and stable small incomes, they can only participate in the subsequent development of deep-water areas, which means changing to the routine task of following boats for fishing.

Everything has its own timeliness and will always change.

"Okay, I see."

Liang Qu bowed and thanked him, and when he turned around, he asked Huang Pingchang to stop him.

"Master Liang, please stay!" "Anything else?"

"Don't be offended, sir. There are two more."

Huang Pingchang opened the long cabinet under the table and took out a wooden box according to the name tag. "The first thing is the performance appraisal reward before the New Year. It all arrived yesterday with the fleet. This is the remaining physical reward for you."

Liang Qu ranked first in the performance appraisal and received rewards of one major merit, one hundred minor merits, and three hundred taels of silver, which is similar to the year-end bonus.

Among them, the major contributions were used up in advance by overdraft, and all the power of local rivers and lakes for minor contributions was directly credited to the account.

Only three hundred taels of silver were left.

Liang Qu opened it and took a look.

There are two floors, with a total of twenty silver ingots.

One official silver coin is worth a little over fifty taels.

"How come there is one thousand taels? Wasn't it agreed to be three hundred taels?"

"Because the remaining 700 taels are related to another matter. Sir Liang, do you remember the precious lotus root you contributed last year?"

"I remember. Any news?"

There were rewards for the unrecorded treasures offered by Dashun.

Liang Qu handed in the lotus roots last year, and he almost forgot when he gave it.

Maybe last spring?

"Yes, I gave a reply along with the reward issued yesterday."

Huang Pingchang handed over a booklet.

Liang Qu took the booklet, flipped through a few pages, and roughly understood why a precious plant had been delayed for so long.

Precious plants, especially those of lower grades, are not recorded.

The main purpose of the research is not how effective the Baozhi is or what its medicinal properties are, that is only a small part.

What is more important is the input-output ratio of large-scale planting under the effective environment of Baozhi itself.

To verify these, you must plant them in the ground and water and wait for them to grow naturally.

Afterwards, rewards will be given based on the output, whether it can be cultivated and improved, etc.

Since it involves species, no one can be done in a short time.

Especially to ensure accuracy, not only can Baozhi not induce growth, but it is necessary to plant more than one crop, at least two crops, and try three crops.

There are three wheels of lotus roots planted on Liangqu.

The booklet was filled with various annotations, which made it difficult to read, so Liang Qu turned straight to the end to read the conclusion.

“This lotus root has its merits. It requires a simple planting environment and does not require much preparation. In addition, depending on the composition of the soil, its healing effect can be partially enhanced, enriching the lower-level healing water plant categories.

However, regardless of the yield or output ratio, it can only be ranked in the middle among similar aquatic plants. After discussion, we hereby reward it with 700 taels of silver."

At the Liangqu Four Pass, he would be ecstatic if he suddenly gained 700 taels of silver.

A very huge income.

But he is now at the peak of his horse's galloping ability, and seven hundred taels is not a lot, but not a little either.

"It's better than nothing."

Liang Qu was in a good mood.

It had been so long that he almost forgot about it.

It feels really good that something you had no hope for suddenly gave you good results one day.

After doing the math, after deducting a lot of expenses, there is only a small amount of salary income.

The amount of silver in Liang Qu's hands returned to the huge amount of 2,600 taels.

Carrying the silver and elixirs, Liang Qu rode home on horseback, entered the quiet room and continued his retreat.

Take a pill of Shensi Pill.

As the drug took effect, Liang Qu's mind not only did not become as clear-headed as it had been after taking the morning dew worm, but it became even more dizzy.

"?"

However, when Liang Qu focused his attention on martial arts, a green light suddenly appeared above him.
