Chapter 738: The Moon and the Sun
Chapter 739 Taiyin and Taiyang
"How much did the leader of the Quan tribe say?!"
"To answer your question, one hundred mermaid tears! The Quan tribe and the Leng tribe each contributed fifty! I have counted them myself, there is no mistake!"
Quan Linghan threw the brown bag in his hand and raised it three points higher.
At the end of July, the second batch of mermaid silk dividends from Huangzhou arrived, and the amount was shocking. With two more waves of dividends from large-scale trade transactions between the court and the sea, good days are clearly in front of them.
The mouth is soft when you eat someone, and the hand is short when you take someone else's money. The mermaids feel comfortable to give back to Liang Qu!
"Good, good... The leader of the Quan tribe sent a hundred mermaid tears tonight. I really don't know what to say. It surprises me so much!"
Liang Qu lifted the leather bag and his face glowed with joy.
He felt the heavy weight in his palm and the bulging satisfaction.
Really!
Real!
The mermaid tears collided with each other, making a dense and crisp sound, more pleasant than real gold and silver!
The number of essences contained in a mermaid tear is roughly 2,500 to 2,000, and some are as high as 2,800 to 2,900.
This bag is conservatively estimated to be 250,000!
Not only Liang Qu, but also the fat catfish, fist and other water beasts in the water were happy.
The fat catfish waved its fins and flapped its wings vigorously.
Look at the three extra long air in the Ze Ding.
One red, one gold, and one silver.
They flowed together, full of vitality.
Hiss~
Liang Qu's mind was a little drowsy for a while, suspecting that he had inhaled the white mist of the little mirage dragon before going to bed and had not woken up, and great good things came one after another.
Beautiful!
Very beautiful!
The bright moon was hanging high, the light of the stars and the moon flowed, and there were occasional dog barking, which was rare and quiet. The eaves of thousands of houses seemed to be flowing with a layer of mercury.
The leaves in the courtyard rubbed against each other, and the fluorescent green spots danced in the corners. The fireflies that Long Yao and Long Li brought back from Huazhu County last year survived the winter and stubbornly survived to this day.
Really down-to-earth.
With the gift of the merman in front of us, it is not easy to drive them away immediately.
Liang Qu temporarily put aside the urgency of exploring the [sun] and [moon] in the cauldron, waved his hand to call the [vine soldiers], and asked Quan Linghan to sit down and talk to win over the relationship.
"The leader of the Quan tribe said before that there are two tribes, the Quan tribe and the Leng tribe... Could it be that the Leng merman has become independent in the tribe now?"
Quan Linghan was surprised by the moving vines in the pond, but did not show any abnormality.
"Your Excellency has misunderstood. Although there are people with the surname Leng in the Quan tribe, their number is very small. The Leng tribe is not a branch of our tribe, but another group of river mermaids in Pengze, and their number is larger than ours.
Now the chief of the Leng tribe is returning to Pengze, and plans to gradually relocate his people to Jiangchuan County. By then, it is estimated that there will be more than 2,600 mermaids living in the entire Jiangchuan County!
Today, Quan came here to give you mermaid tears, to repay your kindness; on the other hand, he also wants you to inform the river port office to send people and boats to meet you as soon as possible, and to escort you with flags, so as to avoid any problems on the way."
It's actually a new tribe!
Where did it come from?
Liang Qu was puzzled: "The leader of the Quan tribe returned to Pengze and found it by accident?"
Quan Linghan explained: "In order to prevent the Huaijiang mermaids from being caught in one fell swoop, the Quan tribe and the Leng tribe rarely contacted each other, and only a few older mermaids knew about it..."
Liang Qu listened and waved his hand, asking Aunt Zhang and Tata to prepare two side dishes, and then opened a can of green plum wine that he got from his master this year.
He didn't like to drink, so the so-called green plum wine was not strong, sour, and more appetizing.
A plate of cucumbers, a plate of braised meat, and a dish of fried peas were placed on the table first.
Tata opened a small plate and poured vinegar and shredded ginger.
The origin of the two tribes was finished.
Liang Qu suddenly understood.
"It's so."
"Sir Liang, Quan didn't mean to hide it, it's just that the mermaids are not obedient..."
"It doesn't matter, you shouldn't have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others. If I were the leader of the Quan clan, I would definitely do the same thing. Come, eat a piece of meat. Dip it in vinegar, it tastes very delicious!"
As long as the result is good, Liang Qu doesn't care whether Quan Linghan hides it or not.
The number of mermaids in Jiangchuan has doubled, which is welcome.
Clan leader Quan, a great loyal minister!
"Thank you, sir. I came to Jianghuai last winter and have lived there for more than half a year. Pingyang is good everywhere. The mermaids are thriving, and dozens of little mermaids have been born.
Sir Liang gave up most of his mermaid silk dividends and gave them to the mermaids. Whenever I think of it, Quan always wants to give back and also want to help other tribesmen."
TaTa opened his hand and brought the grilled fish to the table.
Shad, shad is not in season in August, but it is also a great delicacy.
Quan Linghan picked up the fish meat, put it into his mouth, and tasted it silently.
Since arriving in Pingyang, the entire mermaid tribe has fallen in love with hot food, which is much more delicious than eating raw fish meat. However, after eating it all, the river otter under Liang Qu's command still cooks it the best.
Seeing that he liked it, Liang Qu pushed him to the opposite side: "The leader of the Quan tribe is really a man who values friendship and loyalty."
"He often goes to Yixing, which is far from being like Lord Liang. It's a coincidence. In fact, the 100 mermaid tears of these two tribes should have been delivered to you in June."
"Oh? Why then..."
"The leader of the Leng tribe accepted my invitation in May and stayed until June. He was very satisfied with everything. Unexpectedly, in late June, the demon king of the Jianghuai Lake was in turmoil, and the thunder was loud. He was shocked and thought that Jianghuai was in the midst of war and turmoil. He hurried to leave. I persuaded him to stay reluctantly. We agreed to wait for another Binghuo day to see the situation."
"Why Binghuo day?"
"On Binghuo days, two or even three days in the sky, everything is impetuous, there are often fights, water monsters attack, and even young mermaids have many conflicts.
So the court has a curfew. I agreed with the Leng clan leader that if there is no major incident during the Binghuo period of more than 20 days, and no monsters attack, we will make a new decision.
Fortunately, the Hebo Office has done a good job in managing the waters, and the entire Binghuo day passed safely without fighting or quarreling. Only then did the Leng clan leader believe that the incident in June was a sudden accident. "
Liang Qu bathed in the moonlight and stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish belly meat. He never thought that there was such a thing inside. He felt that he had his own reasons for being late.
No wonder the two big happy events would meet today.
Everything is related.
A mermaid only has one or two tears in his life, and many mermaids have never had one in their lives.
One hundred tears is by no means a small number.
There is really a gain in loss.
To win over the mermaids, it is necessary for the mermaids to exercise their subjective initiative.
At the end.
"Sir, please pay attention to the matter of going to Pengze to pick up the mermaids. "
"Don't worry, Chief Quan. Once the mermaids are registered in Pingyang and have paid the two taxes, they will become our Dashun subjects. We cannot afford to let them go. I will arrange the fleet tonight and we will set off early tomorrow morning! "
Simple food and drink.
Liang Qu fulfilled his promise, rode up Chishan, called Li Libo and Chen Jiechang, and asked them to wake up the officials at all levels of the river and mooring office to work the "night shift".
It took less than two minutes.
The wharf was very busy, and the treasure ship was temporarily transferred out.
The night wind blew, the reed flowers were immersed in the water, and the slender reed leaves cast shadows, with clear boundaries.
On Binghuo days, not only the sun is bright, but the moon is even brighter. There is no need for torches at all, which does not hinder the supply and mobilization of the fleet.
Liang Qu sat upright on the horse, and Wu Long followed closely, lowered his head to smell the smell, and raised his claws to pick up the jumping frogs and crabs.
Looking at the busy officials at all levels, he reached into the brown bag at his waist.
[Water Essence +2489]
[Water Essence +2841]
[Water Essence +2317]
……
Every mermaid tear was picked up with a small net to distinguish which ancestor left it. Anyone who touched it, Liang Qu took it out and put it in another bag to prevent leakage.
One piece is more than two thousand, and there are ten thousand without five pieces.
In the Ze Ding, the fluorescent blue water tide rose rapidly at an extremely exaggerated speed.
One hand touched the essence of the water, and the other was to explore the long air in the Ding.
[If you get a strand of the sun's long air, if you merge it with 30,000 water essences, you will give birth to a spirit fish, and the effect is mysterious. ]
[If you get a strand of the moon's long air, if you merge it with 30,000 water essences...]
[Sun: Yang gives birth to Yang and kills Yang. ]
[Moon: Yin grows and Yin hides. ]
[Sun and Moon: Yang reaches Yin, Yin reaches Yang; Sun is trapped and returns, Moon is full and round, there is no going without returning. ]
30,000 essences, prove that the quality of the two strands of long air is extraordinary.
However, Liang Qu's perception of the effect of the two strands of long air is vague, he only knows that one is full of vitality and the other is calm and restrained.
And...
Red air, sun.
So they are not the same thing?
