I'm the one running the game

Lü Xingshi and Murong Xuan left the original location of Langya Pavilion and chose to rebuild Langya Pavilion in a more inaccessible mountain range.

They did not wait for the news of the barbarians and Rongdi going south or Cai Qiuhe becoming emperor. Instead, they heard that the court's peace talks had turned from rumors to reality, and the court also recognized Ahachu, the Liao king who inherited the position from his "brother", and indirectly recognized the other party's orthodoxy in the northern frontier.

In addition, it is necessary to give the Liao king of the northern frontier an annual gift.

This can be regarded as a step down, and Ahachu also acquiesced.

The "gift" that Dasong gave to the northern Liao was called "annual gift".

It means that Dasong gave rewards to the northern Liao every year, and Ahachu was a godson and a minister, and could not be emperor.

In this way, Dasong won face and was able to step down.

The annual tribute is given between brothers, which is equivalent to equal treatment, while the annual tribute is given by the subordinate to the superior. Not only must the superior be enthroned, but the emperor must also kneel to welcome it.

If things continue to develop, Lu Xingshi suspects that Dasong may have to pay annual tribute next, and he would not be surprised if he pays annual tribute one day.

But Lu Xingshi does not care about Dasong's development. He is rebuilding Langya Pavilion now. With his ability of building, forging and other skills with a value of up to 1,000 points, rebuilding is a piece of cake.

Except that the collection of raw materials is a little troublesome, there are no other problems.

The Langya Pavilion he built this time must not only be waterproof, but also fireproof and mosquito-proof to a certain extent, and must not only be hidden but also solid.

So this is hard for Murong Xuan.

Lu Xingshi is the master, and his master is the assistant.

Asking for help is also troublesome, mainly because it is inconvenient in the deep mountains and old forests, and then there is the problem of money.

Although a lot of gold and silver treasures were taken out from the treasury, after experiencing the last bankruptcy, Murong Xuan no longer spends money lavishly and has become much more frugal.

This led to the fact that if he could do it himself, he would never hire anyone. Murong Xuan was a little older, but fortunately, they all practiced martial arts, and the "Changsheng Huichun Gong" was a method of health and longevity, so Murong Xuan's physical fitness was stronger than that of young people who did not practice martial arts, so there was no problem.

It took nearly three months to successfully complete the construction.

"I almost collapsed from exhaustion..." Murong Xuan looked at the newly built Langya Pavilion and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's okay, I don't feel anything." Lu Xingshi relied on the effect of the innate characteristic of full blood and qi, and he had no problem working non-stop.

"Master, you have to buy paper next... Forget it, let's make it ourselves. The paper sold outside is too expensive and the quality is not good."

"Go buy some pens, inkstones and daily necessities. I'll memorize all our original collection of books."

"Also, I need some materials and tools to make the Golden Crow. Buy some of them by the way."

Lv Xingshi was not polite and directly instructed Murong Xuan. He was an old man in the world and knew how to buy without being cheated. If it were him, he might be cheated and buy it at a premium. The premium would be fine, but he was afraid that he would buy inferior products at a premium.

"Can you make paper?" Murong Xuan's focus was not on Lu Xingshi asking him to work, but on finding out that Lu Xingshi actually knew this.

"A little bit..." Lu Xingshi recalled, but he didn't remember it clearly. It seemed that he had to dry, boil, wash, refine and pulp the bamboo. He didn't remember much more.

But it didn't matter. He could figure it out with some time. He believed that his comprehension was as high as 100 points.

"Have you ever thought about selling paper?" Murong Xuan asked.

"Selling paper? Why do you suddenly have this idea?" Lu Xingshi was a little puzzled. He just wanted to make some for himself. After all, in the eyes of a modern man like him, the fact that white paper and silver are equal is simply too crazy.

Although both of them are from the Bai generation, how can their values ​​be equal.

"These days, I have been thinking that Langya Pavilion can no longer continue to be complacent. We must find a way out, even for your son and my disciple, we must have a way to make a living."

"Tingfeng Pavilion's rumor and intelligence business, Wendao Pavilion even directly entered the court. If it doesn't change, we will have problems eating in the future."

"You can't just take the gold and silver in the ancestor's treasure house when you are out of money. No matter how big the gold and silver are, there will be a day when they will be spent." Murong Xuan said.

Especially the situation of Wendao Pavilion, which made his three views a little shocked.

Therefore, he knew that he couldn't live off his wealth.

I just don't know what to do for a living. After all, he is a roaming man, and he has no shortage of gold and silver most of the time. But this money is either the legacy of his Langya Pavilion or the floating wealth that comes and goes like water. The former is the family assets prepared for the rebellion, and the latter is simply not counted.

Now Lu Xingshi can actually make paper, which is really beyond his expectation.

"This is feasible." Lu Xingshi certainly understands the embarrassment of a penny that can stump a hero, and he also knows the truth that money can make the devil work: "How much can we make from selling paper? Let's print books."

"But we have to wait until I make paper. I don't have much clue now." Lu Xingshi just has some memory, not really remembering it. In fact, he still has to explore it for a while.

At the very least, he has to activate the ability to make paper. In fact, Lu Xingshi doesn't know if he has this ability.

After all, this is a martial arts DLC, who knows if there are related functions.

There are abilities such as construction, forging, and appreciation. What if there is also papermaking?

"Printing books?" Murong Xuan was a little confused.

"Most of the mainstream books on the market are engraved or handwritten. If we use movable type printing, the cost will be greatly reduced." Lu Xingshi said.

"Well, as long as you are sure." Murong Xuan did not intend to interfere with Lu Xingshi's ideas.

"Then the question is, I must be a hands-off boss." Lu Xingshi stared at Murong Xuan, meaning that he just didn't need to do the work.

"You don't want me to do it, do you?" Murong Xuan's eyes glared. He was a senior in the martial arts world and a Yunzhang scholar in the court. Wouldn't it be a bit embarrassing for him to do such a thing?

"Yes, if you are not afraid that I will lose the business, then I will do it." Lu Xingshi retorted.

"Okay, okay, I will go." Murong Xuan thought, Lu Xingshi was a rookie, and he had no experience in the martial arts world except fighting. He really had to come, and then he would lead Lu Xingshi for a while.

In fact, Lu Xingshi would not lose money if he came by himself. After all, he has a business ability of 1,000 points, and he also has the ability to speak and calculate. If he really wants to do business, he can become the richest man in Dasong without any problem.

But if Murong Xuan is here, he may not earn as much as if he does it himself, but he can save Lu Xingshi a lot of trouble.

For Lu Xingshi, money is nothing but something outside of his body. He wants to take a step further, and having money can make this step shorter.
