Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

The scenery of the cave was mysterious and pleasant under the illumination of lights. The group had walked deeper into the cave for more than an hour without realizing it.

"Brother Xiaobao, look, there is a pool of water over there." Princess Lingzhao said, pointing ahead.

Wei Xiaobao took a look and saw that there was indeed a pool of water in front of him. The water was clear and transparent, and the pool was bottomless.

After walking for so long, everyone was a little thirsty, so they squatted down and scooped up water with their hands to drink.

The water is slightly sweet, refreshing and delicious. After drinking it, you will feel refreshed and comfortable.

Wei Xiaobao had never drunk such good mineral water.

He used the "Intelligent Sky Eye" to scan the water, and the system screen displayed:

[Item name: Golden Yin Water]

[Item ingredients: Rich in metallic Yin spiritual energy]

[Item function: Suitable for gold and yin attribute cultivators to practice, can improve aptitude and cultivation]

Wow, this is a precious thing. It is the first item that Wei Xiaobao has found that is helpful for cultivation since he traveled through time.

Although he didn't know how to practice, had no practice techniques, and had a useless body, these could not stop Wei Xiaobao's determination to practice.

Otherwise, when he knew that stewing ginseng chicken soup in the alchemy furnace could improve physical fitness, he drank ginseng chicken soup every day.

If it wasn't for treating the knots and congestion in his meridians, this nourishing ginseng chicken soup would not just cause a nosebleed, but would have killed Wei Xiaobao.

This "Golden Yin Water" must be more effective than ginseng chicken soup. The system says that it is rich in spiritual energy. What is spiritual energy? It is the "food" for practicing Taoism and cultivating immortals!

If we can find a way to cultivate this huge pool of "Golden Yin Water", then we can become gods and immortals!

Wei Xiaobao was daydreaming happily.

After drinking the water, everyone continued to move forward. There were some small puddles along the way. Although not as big as the previous one, Wei Xiaobao observed through the "Intelligent Sky Eye" and found that it was still golden yin water.

Wei Xiaobao felt regretful that he had so much "rations" for cultivation but no cultivation techniques. However, he decided to look for ancient books after leaving the Shiyu Mountains to see if he could find any clues about the cultivation techniques.

After walking for another five hours, Wei Xiaobao looked at the pocket watch in his hand and it was already two o'clock in the middle of the night.

The strange thing was that no one felt tired or hungry. Wei Xiaobao knew that this was the result of "Golden Yin Water".

Wei Xiaobao looked around the cave. The silver purity of the stalactites here was basically pure silver, and the rocks on the cave walls were also white and eye-catching.

The depth below was still unfathomable, and it would take a while to reach the end. Wei Xiaobao decided to return and come back here to explore after finding the cultivation method.

The next morning, when the group came out of the cave, Captain Tang, Ishikawa Taro, Ishikawa Daishan, Koushui Huangji...all of them were waiting anxiously at the entrance of the mine. They had sent several groups of people into the cave to search, but strangely, no one found the newly dug passage they had dug.

In the next few days, Captain Tang led most of the troops to continue the dragnet-style advance. Wei Xiaobao regarded the silver mining area of ​​Taitian City as his base camp and went to the pool in the cave alone every day. Now he was no longer satisfied with just drinking a few sips of "Golden Yin Water", but took off his clothes and took a bath directly in the pool.

It's true. When Wei Xiaobao had the idea of ​​taking a bath, after taking his first bath, he used the "Intelligent Sky Eye" to check his meridians and found that the bumps on his meridians were decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. It is estimated that after another half a month of bathing, the bumps on the meridians will disappear.

The lumps on the meridians disappeared, which meant that Wei Xiaobao's body was back to normal. He was no longer a useless person and could practice.

The motivation of suddenly seeing a glimmer of hope after being a loser for a long time is enormous, like the persistence of being injected with chicken blood.

Shuang'er and Ling Zhao looked at Wei Xiaobao like a monster these days. He stopped making ginseng chicken soup and didn't go to bed with the two beauties. He went to the cave two or three times a day. But seeing that he looked radiant and energetic, Shuang'er and Ling Zhao ignored him.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. Captain Tang had already reached the southernmost tip of the Shiyu Mountains and was about to reach the border with Aki County.

All the gold, silver and copper mines in Iwami County have been seized from the Tokugawa family army, and the remaining Japanese invaders in the territory are being cleared out.

During the past half month, the fleet that the Tokugawa family came to receive gold, silver and copper once a month was destroyed by the Julong that stayed at the Jiangjin port.

… …

Edo Castle, headquarters of the Tokugawa shogunate

"General, according to convention, the fleet that received the gold, silver and copper should have returned yesterday, but it has not returned today." said Oda Masamizu, the general in charge of the navy of the Tokugawa shogunate.

"Maybe it's due to the weather? Let's wait and see." Tokugawa Koyasu said.

Minister of Internal Affairs Ryosuke Yamada said: "The Qing Empire sent a letter saying that it needs 200 million taels of silver and 100 million catties of copper this year in exchange for raw silk, porcelain, tea and other items. However, there are Chinese merchants who want 200 million catties of copper in exchange for grain."

"Food? How much is the price?" asked Tokugawa Koyasu.

“每百斤铜做价十两白银，换精米1000斤，200万斤铜换粮2000万斤。可供我50万德川家军2个月军粮。”山田凉介说道。

"How do we exchange it for copper from the Qing Dynasty?" asked Tokugawa Kosato.

"In the Qing Dynasty, every hundred catties of copper is priced at seven taels of silver. It cannot be exchanged for grain. One hundred catties of copper can be exchanged for half a catty of raw silk, ten catties of tea, and porcelain is converted into silver," Yamada Ryosuke responded.

"Doesn't the merchant want silver?" Tokugawa Koyasu asked again.

"They don't want silver, they said the more copper the better," replied Yamada Ryosuke.

"What does a businessman like him need so much copper for? To counterfeit coins?" Tokugawa asked again.

"I've asked around, and they said they were going to make kitchenware and sell it overseas in Western European countries," Yamada Ryosuke replied.

"That's fine. As long as he has enough food, give him all the copper in stock."

"We have more than 400 million kilograms of copper in stock. If they all exchange it for grain, we won't have to worry about food this year," said Ryosuke Yamada.

Subsequently, the Tokugawa shogunate signed an agreement with the Chinese merchants commissioned by Wu Sanniang.

Japan sold 400 million catties of copper to Chinese merchants, and the Chinese merchants paid 4000 million catties of grain. The goods were transported by the Chinese within three months. After signing the agreement, the Chinese paid 200 million catties of grain, 1900 million catties of grain after the early rice was harvested, and 1900 million catties of grain after the late rice was harvested.

Wu Sanniang took the contract to Mao Shiba and asked him to find a ship to transport grain and copper.

Mao Shiba complained to Wu Sanniang about why she started doing business with the Japanese.

Wu Sanniang smiled charmingly: "Commander Wei taught me this. If we don't cheat the devils, who else will we cheat?"

Mao Shiba didn't understand, nor did he want to understand, so he hurried to the dock to ask Huang Shiming for a boat.
