Chapter 385: Easier to earn income!

Hebo Office.

Liang Qu looked around and knocked on the table.

"Where is Shoufu?"

"Li Zhubu is taking a break today. I wonder what Lord Liang wants to do?"

Huang Pingchang Zhubu 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."

It's safe to exchange things with acquaintances. It doesn't matter if you can't find them. Huang Pingchang has met them several times.

"Wait a minute."

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

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

In a moment, an official brought a tray with three small porcelain bottles with round bellies and thin necks standing steadily inside.

Liang Qu opened the bottle stopper and shook it. There were five pills in one bottle, and the medicine smelled strong.

Fresh goods.

To comprehend the master's charm, one usually needs to take Shensi Pills. It is said that taking it will give you an immersive effect and achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Liang Qu originally thought that with his three times martial arts talent, he could skip the external aid and save a sum of money on pills.

Unexpectedly, after three days, things were more difficult than expected.

It seems that communicating the secret charm is not entirely determined by talent.

Huang Pingchang flipped through two pages of the merit book and reminded him, "Sir Liang, three bottles of Shensi Dan 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: "Use it so quickly?"

Huang Pingchang said: "According to the merit book, you must exchange three cockscomb fruits every day, and occasionally exchange for Qi-boosting pills, so the small merits you can save are not too many.

In addition, you have exchanged boat maps, boat crossbows, a river dolphin, and several medium-quality elixirs, all of which are major items, often dozens or hundreds.

And you worked in Huazhu County from August to October last year to control floods, and you didn't get many small merits, but your spending did not stop.

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

Liang Qu fell silent for a while after hearing Huang Pingchang's account report.

I didn't expect that I spent so much.

It's not just small merits.

After asking Liu Quanfu to build the blessing ship, there was not much silver left.

Fortunately, every penny has its destination, nothing more than turning into strength and assets.

Money and small merits did not disappear!

They just changed their way of accompanying!

Huang Pingchang continued: "In addition, there is something I must tell you. I saw that in the merit book, most of Mr. Liang's small merits came from hunting monsters and cleaning shallow waters.

There was no problem, but since April this year, the regular task of cleaning shallow water monsters will no longer exist. Only a few counties and districts have been retained, and the rest have been converted to fishing for treasure fish."

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

Great news!

The task of cleaning shallow waters to get small merits is going to be cancelled!

Liang Qu was thoughtful.

As expected.

The monsters in the shallow waters will not be refreshed after killing one batch.

Monsters are more or less smarter than ordinary beasts.

Killing a lot, knowing how powerful they are, they all flee to the depths of the swamp, shrinking the range, and the number will naturally decrease slowly.

Hunting monsters and clearing shallow waters is to open up fishing areas and increase output.

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

On weekdays, the daily patrols of the river chief are enough to maintain the situation.

Ordinary martial artists can only participate in the development of deep water areas in the future if they want to continue to obtain safe and stable income from small merits, that is, to change to the routine task of fishing with boats.

Everything has its own timeliness and will always change.

"Okay, I know."

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

"Master Liang, please stay!"

"Anything else?"

"Don't blame me, there are two more."

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

Liang Qu ranked first in the performance appraisal and received a reward 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 great merit was overdrawn in advance, and all the power of the local river and lake was directly credited to the account for the small merit.

Only 300 taels of silver were left.

Liang Qu opened it and took a look.

There were two layers, a total of 20 silver ingots.

One official silver was worth more than 50 taels.

"Why is there 1,000 taels? Wasn't it agreed to be 300 taels?"

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

"I remember, have you received news?"

The precious plants that Dashun offered but were not recorded were rewarded.

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

Probably last spring?

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

Huang Pingchang handed out a booklet.

Liang Qu took the booklet, flipped through a few pages, and roughly understood why a precious plant would be dragged on for so long.

Precious plants, especially low-grade and unrecorded precious plants.

Its main research purpose is not how good the effect of the precious plants is, or how the medicinal properties are, this is only a small part.

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

To verify these, it is necessary to plant them in the ground and water and wait for Baozhi to grow naturally.

Then, according to the yield, whether it can be cultivated and improved, etc., the value will be discussed and rewards will be given.

Since it involves planting, no one can be short-term.

Especially to ensure accuracy, Baozhi cannot induce birth, so more than one crop must be planted, at least two croppings, and as much as three croppings.

There are three rounds of lotus roots planted in Liangqu.

The booklet was packed with various annotations, which was overwhelming, so Liang Qu turned straight to the end to see the conclusion.

“This lotus root has merits. It requires a simple planting environment and does not require much investment in cooking. Moreover, depending on the soil composition, the healing effect can be partially enhanced, enriching the variety of lower healing water plants.

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

When Liangqu passed the four passes, he would be ecstatic when he suddenly harvested 700 taels of silver.

A very large amount of income.

But he is now in the extreme state of galloping horse, and seven hundred taels is neither too much nor too little.

"Something is better than nothing."

Liang Qu was in a happy mood.

It's been so long that he almost forgot about it.

It's not a bad feeling when something that you had no hope for suddenly gives you a positive feedback one day.

Calculate the accounts and exclude a large amount of expenses and a small amount of salary income.

The silver in Liang Qu's hands returned to 2,600 taels.

Carrying the silver and elixirs in his arms, Liang Qu rode home, entered the quiet room, and continued to retreat.

Take a pill of Shen Si Dan.

As the medicine took effect, Liang Qu's mind not only did not become as refreshing as taking morning dew insects, but instead became more and more drowsy.

"?"

However, when Liang Qu concentrated on martial arts, a green light suddenly appeared on it.
