Chapter 248: My sister-in-law’s gift (1)
“That’s definitely far away. Our Black Tortoise region’s horse carriage will take a year to travel. The Western mystic region is even bigger, and a horse carriage would take two years to travel, much further than that. Wouldn’t it take five or six years to travel by horse carriage?” “I definitely don’t want five or six years, but three or four years is a must.” “I’m afraid he won’t come in three or four years. It’s said that the dark mysterious domain is very dangerous and there are many unknown things there. The road is very difficult to walk on. ” …… “That’s why, elders, you’re all reasonable people, and many of your families do business. If it was transported from such a far place, the price of a bag of rice would increase by dozens of times. There were also many dangers involved, such as bandits robbing, losses on the road, and … Therefore, it was too difficult to do this kind of business. I only have about 20% of the goods left. And when a batch of goods was transported over, many of the bodyguards protecting the goods would die, which was another considerable compensation. Including the cost of the carriage, manpower, and material resources … Sigh … Who asked us to not have these goods here, and only the dark mysterious domain has them? Therefore, if it’s not expensive, I can’t afford it even if I sell myself. ” Seeing these guys discussing so intensely, Tang Wen immediately put on a pitiful act. “That’s true. A washroom is as big as two hundred top rank spirit stones, and the loss would probably account for seventy to eighty percent. That thing itself was probably not expensive, only about 30 to 40 upper spiritual stones. Look at the toilets in our house, they’re made of good stone, and each one costs more than ten high – grade spirit stones. Some of the more luxurious ones would also cost a few dozen high – grade ones. Moreover, the bathroom was clean and tidy. It didn’t smell bad at all, and there was even a fragrant smell. It was really comfortable to soak in the bathtub. The water actually gave me a massage automatically. My husband and children love it. They say that when they bathe in winter, they won’t be afraid of the cold. There were also lights that turned on and off with a press of the button. It was very good. The children were now fighting to move into the bathroom to read and practice writing. The kids got into a fight yesterday, and when I asked them about it, they found out that it was because they were fighting over the toilet. How annoying. ” Fifth elder Ximen Xiangyun said at this time. “You installed one at home?” Vice City Lord Jiang asked with envy. “Haha, my sister – in – Law gave it to me.” Xiangyun said with a smug smile. “You’re still talking about it? you were the one who snatched it away, and you’re still talking about giving it to me? how can I afford it? Because of this, your sister – in – Law has been scolded by others. ” Xi Kongming said with a long face. “Hehehe, big brother, you won’t be so stingy, right?” Xiangyun laughed. “Don’t talk to me about this, it’s so annoying. ” Xi Kongming said. “I know that I already have my sisters – in – Law, but I still have hundreds of nephews and nieces. Some of them were already adults, and they wanted all of them. If you pack it for third young lady, I don’t have anything else, but my head is big. ” Xiangyun chuckled. “City Lord, elders, it’s not that there’s no solution. Actually, there were other ways. For example, they could build an extra – large public toilet. The price would only be slightly higher, and everyone could use it. For example, he could set up one in the black turtle Palace and have an office for the elders. “For example, the law enforcement Hall and the city Patrol Hall …” Tang Wen said. “That won’t do. We can’t share the jacuzzi with everyone. It’s too dirty. We can ‘t.” Xiangyun said. “Yes, yes, if it’s a big mansion, all the elders will have their own independent courtyards. Each courtyard must have one, right?” Xixi Heluo, the Vice City Lord, suggested. “That’s 13 of them. 200 for each, so that’s 2600 top rank spirit stones. I think we have to pretend. Our core elders are risking their lives for Xuanwu city. You should enjoy what you should, right?” Xi Kongming said. “I agree!” Xiangyun said. “I think it’s fine. One courtyard house for each courtyard. However, important halls like the law enforcement Hall should also be built big for everyone to share. ” At this time, the second elder, Zhao Gong, who was in charge of the law enforcement Hall, said. “The law enforcement Hall is important, but is my arrest Hall not important? Whenever an important person from a clan dies, it’s always the arrest Hall that has to take action. Otherwise, if you don’t even install a bathroom, don’t come looking for me if someone in your family dies in the future. ” Li Yu face snorted. Although she was a woman, she was in charge of the arrest Hall and specialized in catching criminals in the pugilistic world. She was an expert in solving cases. “My pharmacy saves lives and heals the wounded. There’s blood all over the floor and it stinks. I need a public toilet.” Cui Shigong said hurriedly. “Isn’t tang Wen the master of the second medicine Hall? Logically speaking, it should be under your jurisdiction. Why don’t you just ask him to install one for free?” Wei Xiaolin said. “Elder Tang, I think that you must complete this task within ten days.” When cui Shigong heard this, he immediately became spirited, as if he was ordering a servant. “Oh, there’s something I forgot to tell you. From now on, the medicine Hall in the city Lord’s mansion would be divided into two, an outer hall and an inner hall. The inner hall was in charge of the people in the mansion, and it was under the charge of Hall Master cui. The outer hall will treat the patients outside the city Lord’s mansion. Of course, you can go to the outer hall to treat them if you want. These two halls are independent of each other, and when they encounter important matters, such as when there are more injured people in war, the two halls must sincerely cooperate and treat the illness together. ” Xi Kongming said. “Isn’t the outer hall under the control of the inner hall?” Cui Shigong asked. “Didn’t I tell you? Each of them was independent and managed their own affairs. Of course, when the city Lord’s order comes, you’ll have to cooperate. Everything will be based on the city Lord’s order. ” Xi Kongming snorted. “Hehe, Hall Master cui, let’s work together if you need anything,” Tang Wen cupped his hands and said. “What are you? I’m a core elder of the inner residence, and you don’t even have to mention your skills. You’re not even worthy of carrying my shoes. Do you have the ability to cooperate with me?” Cui Shigong’s face turned black with anger and he exploded. “If you say that, I won’t install a bathroom for you, including electric lights. I won’t even install a courtyard for you. I won’t sell it to you.” Tang Wen was furious and immediately flew into a rage. “Are you trying to rebel? Who Do You Think You Are? city Lord, this kid is just a hooligan. He wasn’t qualified to be the hall Master of the external medicine Hall, let alone the elder? We won’t use his goods. ” Cui Shigong shouted. “Elder cui, do you think I won’t use it just because you say so?” Deputy city Lord Jiang snorted. “That’s true. Elder cui doesn’t have to use it, and he doesn’t have to pretend to have a courtyard house. He’s virtuous.” Xiangyun laughed. “Since elder cui doesn’t like it, then you don’t have to pretend.” Xi Kongming waved his hand dismissively. Cui Shigong’s face turned as black as charcoal when he heard that.”No, we’ll do it together if we want to. If we don ‘t, we’ll do it together.” “Since everyone is pretending, we can’t leave elder cui out, right?” First elder Wan Fuyuan opened his mouth at this moment. “That’s right, that’s right, we can’t miss out on elder cui. Besides, elder cui is in charge of the medicine Hall, so we have to look for him even if we’re sick. ” The third elder nodded in agreement. “I’m sorry, but I’m not selling it to him!” Tang Wen said. “Hehe, of course you can, elder cui. It’s your right. However, you’ll have to figure out a way to get the items yourself. Once they’re properly installed, the city Lord will also give you the spirit stones for approval. ” Xi Kongming said. “No, I’ll just build a new toilet. I don’t believe that 200 high – grade spirit stones can’t even build a decent toilet. At that time, I’ll light sandalwood in the toilet every day and see whose smell is more fragrant. ” Cui Shigong said through gritted teeth. “The city Lord’s mansion will pay for the construction of the toilet, but the money for lighting the sandalwood can not be paid. Of course, it’s understandable for elder cui to go out on his own. ” Xi Kongming said. “I’ll do it myself!” Cui Shigong gritted his teeth in response. “Elder Tang, what should we do about the electric lights?” Deputy city Lord Jiang asked.
