Chapter 350 Reply
Wang Feiyin excitedly pulled Wang Cong back to the house to practice, while thinking hard in his mind, and then he remembered that they didn't have this thing in Sanqing Mountain. Fortunately, he had his junior sister, otherwise he would have to go to Longhu Mountain to ask for it.
Wang Feiyin muttered, "If you had told me earlier that you liked space, I could have saved up money to buy it for you, and I could have learned how to carve it for you..."
Wang Cong: ...As a businessman who likes to make money, who can resist the temptation of space?
Are gold and silver so popular simply because they look good?
Of course not.
The most important reason is that they can replace copper coins. Just a small piece can replace a large pile of copper coins, and it is easy to carry.
Why are silver notes from money shops so popular?
Isn’t it because it is more convenient for circulation?
If everyone has a space, copper coins will not be afraid of weight, but can silver notes still circulate so smoothly?
A space can save a lot of costs.
If there is no space, he needs to speculate in silver, and he needs to transport copper coins from one place to another to exchange them for silver. Not only does he need to rent a car and a mule, but he also needs to hire a driver and a escort...
We can't walk more than 60 miles a day, and we have to take care of their food, drink, defecation and urination...
After one trip, the money he earned from the price difference might barely be enough to support them, so why would he take the risk?
Doesn't anyone know that silver in place A is cheaper when exchanged for copper coins, while silver in place B is more expensive when exchanged for copper coins, and that the difference can be earned by exchanging the two coins?
Many people know about it, but not many have the courage to do this business and make money from it.
As it happened, Wang Cong had the courage and brains to do this. If he didn't have the jade pendant space, he could only do some small things in the city. He would first use silver to buy copper coins from restaurants at a low price and hoard them. When the exchange rate of silver dropped, he would take the copper coins to the money shop to exchange for silver.
This is making money with time.
With space, he can also make money by taking advantage of the price differences between regions.
As long as he is fast enough, he can make the biggest difference at a very low cost and in a very short time.
Without space, he would not have the power to make this money.
The benefits of space will not only be reflected in this silver speculation.
The space that his junior uncle made for him was very large. It could hold the cargo from his thirty trucks, and he had two such spaces!
Just think about it, he only needs one manager and two assistants to carry sixty carts of goods from one place to another.
How much money can he make?
So he had to keep the space, and no one could snatch the two jade pendants from him, not even his father.
Wang Cong was dragged to the door by Wang Feiyin. When Wang Cong opened the door and was about to lock him in, Tao Ji opened the door and saw him. He was stunned for a moment and then said in surprise: "Cong'er is back. It's just right. I'll give you the money."
In terms of the money, Wang Cong had less time to practice;
After receiving the money, Wang Cong was about to count it carefully, but Wang Feiyin pressed the box and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Count the money after you finish practicing. Practice first."
Wang Cong was forced to sit cross-legged. Just as he was about to close his eyes, Miao Zhenmiao and Deng Deng, who had received the news, came running over, followed by Tao Yanbai, who had tipped off the group.
Miao He didn't know that Wang Cong wanted to practice. After all, in her impression, the eldest brother basically didn't need to practice, so she rushed in and shouted, "Eldest brother, you are finally back. Uncle Master, can Junior Uncle come out of seclusion now?"
Wang Cong opened his eyes and cautiously asked, "Dad, how about we practice at night?"
Miao He: "Big Brother, you are practicing, it's not dark yet."
Miao Zhen: "Uncle Master, my elder brother is not at peace."
Wang Feiyin sighed to the sky, "It's so difficult..."
His fellow brothers and sisters looked at him with innocence and weakness.
Wang Feiyin sighed and waved his hand: "Go, go and fetch your junior master and clean up!"
Wang Cong immediately stood up, stuffed the box in his hand into the space, followed his fellow apprentices out, and asked excitedly, "Where is Junior Master in seclusion?"
Tao Ji stood aside, and after a pause, he said, "Big Brother, don't you think Cong'er's voice is three points higher than before?"
Wang Feiyin was silent.
Tao Ji: "I didn't expect that Cong'er is so old now, but he is still the same as when he was little. As long as he doesn't have to do homework, he is happy to do anything. This is not like my sister-in-law. Is he like my senior brother?"
Wang Feiyin said expressionlessly: "Third Junior Brother, how long has it been since you were beaten?"
Tao Ji left silently.
Wang Cong excitedly followed his fellow apprentices to the edge of the mountain, and when he looked down, he saw that there was no way to go, and there was a bottomless cliff below. But there was a protrusion about seven or eight meters below his feet, and there was a vast expanse of white on it, which looked like a road.
That was indeed a road. Tao Yanbai was showing him, "This mountain wall is easy to walk on. That road is so wide. The snow hasn't melted yet. We have to be careful when we jump down from here and don't slip."
Wang Cong still had some confidence, so he was the first to fly down using his Qinggong skills. When he stood still on the road, he discovered that the view here was better and the mountain scenery was more beautiful.
The view is blocked by some pine trees from above, but here, the view is wide and you can directly see the protruding peaks in front and the thousands of feet cliffs below.
The four of them walked along the road and saw Pan Yun sitting cross-legged at the entrance of the cave, watching the view.
Wang Cong: "I only know that my father often went to Yuxu Peak for retreat, but I never knew there is a cave here for retreat. This cave..."
He looked at the depth of the cave.
Pan Jun had already withdrawn his gaze from the valley and stood up. "There's nothing wrong with this cave except that there's no water."
The four of them looked forward along the road and saw footprints on the white snow, extending all the way to the back of the mountain wall.
The four siblings' eyes lit up, "Little Master, have you overcome your fear of heights?"
Pan Jun glanced at them and said, "Who said I'm afraid of heights? I'm just afraid of the cold."
Pan Yun had spoken very little in the past twenty days, so she spoke even slower than usual. She paused before asking, "Are you here to pick me up?"
The four of them nodded together.
Pan Yun waved his hand and said, "Go in and pack your things."
Everyone had space and packed up their things quickly. Soon they flew up the mountain along the cliff wall and headed home.
Miao He said, "Master and we have prepared a lot of delicious food today. We have to do a big cleaning tomorrow and offer sacrifices to the Kitchen God, so we have to prepare tomorrow's food. Little Master, what do you want to eat? I'll ask Master to make it for you."
Pan Yun asked, "Do I have a letter?"
"Yes," Miao Zhen said, "We went to get it seven days ago. Fourth Uncle read the fortune and it came out to be a neutral one, so Master Uncle didn't let us disturb you."
Pan Jun's mouth twitched slightly. She felt helpless about her senior brothers and sisters who always used divination to predict good and bad luck. However, she didn't know that she was the same.
After twenty days of abstinence, Pan Yun is not too demanding about food now. "As long as there is meat, the rest is up to you."
She passed by the main hall, greeted Xuanmiao, went to the backyard, greeted Wang Feiyin and Tao Ji, and immediately went back to open the letter.
The letters came from Datong. There were letters not only from Pan Hong, but also from her two brothers. They were folded up and filled an envelope.
Pan Hong's letter was the longest, because he wanted to describe the case of that year in detail and had a lot of things to tell Pan Yun.
In Pan Hong's opinion, the two cases were not complicated and the truth of the matter could be easily revealed from the evidence and confessions.
The difficulty lies in the fact that the parties involved in both cases are related to the Jinyiwei.
The first was that the Ministry of Justice and the Censorate ignored a lot of evidence and tortured people to curry favor with the Imperial Guards, which led to unjust cases.
Because Xue Xuan insisted on finding out the truth, he angered the Ministry of Justice, the Censorate and the Embroidered Uniform Guard, which led to hatred between them. When a second similar injustice occurred, it instantly triggered a court struggle.
Two ordinary cases instantly became pawns of the political parties and weapons of party struggles.
In particular, the second unjust case directly involved Wang Zhen’s nephew Wang Shan.
Pan Hong warned: "To overturn this case, it does not depend on the evidence, but on the will of the emperor."
"Among the officials in the court who were involved in the case and heard about it, eight out of ten knew that the case was unjust, but why did no one overturn the verdict?"
"Because of Wang Zhen, because of the emperor's will." Pan Hong said: "If you are not sure, you can temporarily not overturn the case, so as not to implicate the families of the parties involved in the two cases back then."
Pan Hong wrote in a sad letter: "The most wronged are the 'murderers' of the two wrongful cases. They have been sentenced to death, but I don't know what happened to their families. If you overturn the case without confidence, I'm afraid they will be threatened and controlled by the Jinyiwei. Then, won't they harm people?"
Pan Yun clenched the letter in his hand, his face solemn, "I want to go to Beijing!"
With a "bang", Pan Yun's head was knocked off. Wang Feiyin asked, "Why didn't you say you wanted to go to heaven?"
"You are only the First Marquis. Do you think you can go anywhere you want in the capital? Let me tell you, the priest who stays in the palace of Longhu Mountain is the Third Marquis. It would be as easy to kill you as to kill an ant."
