Chapter 93 Need to earn monk’s money

The autumn leaves are frosty, and the moon rises above the west tower.

Cao Zhengxiang boiled a pot of wine and took out his set of wine plates.

After giving Chen Mu a cup, he filled it up for himself and took a small sip. He felt very comfortable and then said with a smile: "If it is according to your wishes, the academy project will start tomorrow, but it is simple The framework is not difficult, but the other requirements may not be enough with the money we have."

While talking, Cao Zhengxiang took out a ledger and handed it over.

Chen Mu took it and looked through it roughly, feeling helpless.

It records all the property that they have made since they took office.

With this amount of money, I'm afraid even building the shell of an academy would be a bit expensive.

Even though they have blackmailed a lot of geniuses from major counties in recent times.

But building a real academy requires more than just money.

Just like creating a sect on the mountain.

What is important is not the mountain, but the inner core of the mountain gate.

How many exercises are there in the Cangshuge Pavilion, how big is the vitality cave where the disciples practice, whether there is a supply of weapons and elixirs, etc. These are all areas that need to be considered.

Such a comparison cannot be described as being stretched.

Chen Mu picked up the wine plate and took a sip: "If you want to make money, you have to make money as a monk, otherwise it will be difficult to accumulate wealth quickly."

Cao Zhengxiang nodded when he heard this: "It is true that ordinary money can only be used for ordinary things. Whether it is an academy or a sect, this is beyond the scope of ordinary people. The wealth and things required will naturally be different."

Chen Mu basically understood what Cao Zhengxiang meant.

He also explained it to Chen Mu before.

There are several continents and numerous dynasties in the world, so gold, silver, and copper coins are still the most basic tokens, and monks also need to use them.

And when it goes beyond the boundaries of ordinary people and needs to trade more advanced things, such as magic weapons, exercises, pills, etc. between monks, in addition to equal exchange, there are actually two special coins that are defaulted between monks.

I already have one piece of sunken wood, and I have also consumed one, which is incense money.

As for how to convert an incense coin into gold and silver, no one has done this calculation, because no one is stupid enough to exchange incense money for ordinary silver coins.

After all, this is a special copper coin produced by offering incense. Not only can it be associated with the gods of mountains and rivers, but it can also absorb some of the incense and luck contained in it.

Therefore, this is one of the currencies recognized by monks all over the world.

The other one, Shenmu doesn’t own it yet.

Name: Jin Jing Qian.

According to Cao Zhengxiang, the value of money is much higher than that of incense and money.

Incense and money are born for worship.

The Golden Sutra, as the name suggests, is made of gold and contains the Sutra of the Great Dao.

It is made by condensing and refining the fragments of the bones and golden bodies of many ancient cultivators after their death or emergence.

The great powers of ancient times were at least at the peak of the martial arts realm, and had even been to the tenth floor, or even higher.

It can be seen from this that the great energy contained in the golden body fragments of such characters after their death is naturally quite precious.

They were refined into gold scripture coins by later generations and used to purchase equally precious items.

There is a simple conversion between gold coins and incense copper coins.

One gold coin is equivalent to a thousand copper coins for incense.

Of course, if the incense copper coins are of excellent quality and appearance, the proportion may be less, but generally the difference is not big.

"It's not easy to get money for incense." Shen Mu said again.

Cao Zhengxiang nodded: "It's natural. The main reason is that our territory is too poor. Look at the street shops all over the city. How can there be any business that requires incense money? If so, you have to go to the previous Guandao Pavilion. It's just a post station, at least you need to pay for incense to send messages to Feijian, and occasionally other sect post stations will sell some items, that's it."

What Cao Zhengxiang said is an obvious fact.

Except for a small amount of logistics exchanges in the feudal territory, there is almost no business at the monk level.

There is almost no possibility of incense money circulating.

Of course, Chen Mu thought of some other ways, such as grabbing it directly.

But this is not a long-term solution.

It's okay once or twice, but as time goes by, people become alert and stop coming. You can't just run to someone's door and grab it.

"This is the case in Dongzhou. Most of the incense money is in the hands of the dynasty. Taking Dali as an example, more may be distributed to the Dali military camp, followed by several righteous gods enshrined by the dynasty."

Chen Mu's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this: "Wait, you mean the military camp?"

"Yes, the cost of the military camp is actually relatively expensive, no less than the training of disciples by the sect on the mountain. This is mainly because there has been some turmoil in recent years, and it is difficult to be stable without raising troops."

Chen Mu thought for a while: "Old Cao, do you think the man on our frontier is very rich?"

"You mean the newly transferred general?"

"yes."

Cao Zhengxiang narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded: "When I was doing internal affairs in Da Sui Dynasty, I heard that there were several generals in Da Li. In addition to the famous cavalry battalion, it was Xiao Nanhe. It's just that such a powerful general was inexplicably assigned to us. The borders of the border are mostly deployed by Dali Capital. If there is really an important task, then the money given will probably not be small."

Chen Mu smiled and nodded: "Lao Cao's analysis is reasonable. I think so. For such a large military camp, even if it is just guarding the border, the capital will not treat it badly. There must be a lot of incense money on hand, and there may be more. Money."

"My lord, what you meant by what you said is that you want to..."

Chen Mu smiled and took out a grain of rice from his pocket.

"Master, do you think they will like Yuanqi rice?"

"Of course." Cao Zhengxiang agreed: "The food and grass in the military camp are very important. They have a huge demand for this stuff. No matter whether there is a war or not, they will reserve a lot of it. However, although this stuff is very good, it is difficult to get a high price." , and sir, can you have that much?"

Chen Mu shook his head and handed the rice grains in his hand to Cao Zhengxiang.

"The amount may not be large, but what if I say that the vitality contained in my vitality rice is twice that of ordinary rice?"

"double?"

Looking at the rice grains in his hand, Cao Zhengxiang's eyes gradually became surprised.

Although he could guess that this thing must be the seed given by Xin Fan before, he had seen it at that time and it was just an ordinary thing in the world.

Could it be that even this can go against the will of heaven and produce twice as much?

Cao Zhengxiang was surprised, but more of a surprise and sigh.

He is indeed the man he likes, awesome!

After a long time.

The two looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.

…

…

After everything was sorted, Chen Mu and Cao Zhengxiang went back to rest.

The next day.

Chen Mu got up early and originally decided to take Gu Shouzhi to visit the ancestral hall and then conduct a rough study on how to build the academy structure.

But I'm still going out.

A burst of red drum sound broke Chen Jing...
