The Ming Dynasty took an unconventional approach

The price is determined based on the function of the rune and the specific rune situation, and the range is very large.

For example, if a third-grade amulet is drawn on ordinary talisman paper, it will cost ten taels of silver, but if new talisman paper is used, it will cost twenty taels of silver.

The Shenxianlou not only makes money from the people who buy talismans, but also makes money from the talisman masters.

As soon as Pan Yun and her companions walked into Shenxian Building in their Taoist robes, the staff downstairs immediately recognized her as the talisman master who had supplied them with goods last year.

He immediately stepped forward and asked: "Master Pan, do you want to buy a talisman or talisman paper?"

Pan Yun looked at the things on the shelf and asked, "Talisman paper sprinkled with gold powder?"

The waiter smiled and said, "This kind of talisman paper is only sold in our Shenxianlou."

Pan Yun then raised his head and looked at him seriously: "How are you selling it?"

"That depends on how big you want it, Taoist Pan." The waiter took her to the counter and took out three stacks of talisman paper of different sizes. "We not only have ones sprinkled with gold powder, but also ones covered with gold foil."

After that, he took out three different sizes of talisman papers with gold foil on them.

Pan Yun picked up a piece and looked at it: "Aren't you afraid of losing this talisman paper if you put it out?"

The waiter laughed and said, "Such large talismans are usually posted at home. These two can be folded up and carried with you, but if you put them in your pocket, who can steal them?"

Pan Yun looked at them carefully and could not see any difference between their functions and those of ordinary talisman papers, so he asked, "What are their advantages over ordinary talisman papers?"

The guy thought for a moment and then said, "Does it count if it sells well?"

Pan Yun was silent for a moment and then nodded: "Okay! How much is it?"

"This one with gold foil is five taels, three taels, and two taels," he pointed at the other three and said, "This one sprinkled with gold powder is one tael, eight cents, and five cents per piece."

Miaohe squeezed over and exclaimed: "It's so expensive~~"

Miao Zhen also stood beside Pan Yun and nodded, saying, "It doesn't enhance the effectiveness of the talisman, but it's sold at such a high price. It's not worth it, Junior Master, we buy talisman paper at only one tael per knife."

One knife means one hundred pieces.

Pan Yun nodded, his lips curled up slightly, and took out fifty taels of silver and said, "Give me two sets of gold foil talisman paper, five sets of gold powder talisman paper, and five ordinary talisman papers."

The waiter was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and couldn't help but smile: "Please wait a moment, dear guest, I'll get it right away!"

The waiter quickly prepared the goods and put them in a basket and took them down. Pan Jun then picked out two talisman pens and a box of average quality cinnabar and handed them to the waiter.

The waiter calculated the bill: "The total is fifty-two taels, six cents and eighty-eight coins. I'll round off the amount and give you fifty-two taels and six cents."

Pan Yun took out another piece of silver and handed it to him. After he weighed it and twisted it, he asked, "Prime Minister Yang is getting old. Have many people come to ask for talismans recently?"

The waiter said casually, "A lot, not only in Ji'an, but also in Jiangnan. Many people come here to ask for talismans, all to ward off evil spirits and pray for peace. Some even pay Taoist priests to come down the mountain to change their fortunes."

The guy shook his head and laughed, "But who would dare to do something as defying fate as changing one's destiny?"

Pan Jun nodded: "Yes, the money I earn is not enough to be struck by lightning."

“Not all the Taoist priests on the mountain have such power, but even if they are not struck by lightning, it is bad luck to ruin their luck.”

Pan Yun asked: "Prime Minister Yang is getting old. Are there many people in the court who are implicated by him?"

"It's hard to tell at the moment," the waiter looked around as there were many people coming and going in Shenxianlou, so they were well-informed. He lowered his voice and said, "But I heard that the distinguished guests who came to buy talismans were worried that the next prime minister would not be from Jiangnan, and there are only two ministers from Jiangnan in the cabinet."

Pan Yun: "...There are only four people in the cabinet now. When Prime Minister Yang was in office, three of them were from Jiangnan. What are they worried about?"

If influence is calculated based on the cabinet ministers' place of birth, then we should be worried about other places, right?
Pan Yun picked up the basket and went out.

She only had less than seven taels of the money she had robbed.

Pan Yun kept more than one tael of change for herself, and stuffed the remaining five taels into Hongyan's pocket: "Sister, go buy whatever you want."

Hongyan said: "I have money."

Pan Yun was determined to give it to her: "You have money and it's yours, and what I give is mine, so just buy whatever you want!" Five taels of silver can buy a lot of things, but it's also easy to spend.

A trip to a garment shop would have cost it all.

There is no young girl who doesn't like beautiful clothes, especially when Hongyan is so beautiful, everyone likes to watch her try on clothes, so a group of people rushed to the clothing store.

Tao Yanbai sat outside waiting for them.

Hongyan tried on two sets, bought them all, and also bought some shoes and socks.

Pan Jun saw a nice umbrella nearby, looked at the umbrella, then looked at Hongyan, and gave her two: "Buy this one too."

Hongyan: "Why should I bring an umbrella?"

"Animals can get sick if they get wet in the rain, so you should be more careful. Bring it with you. And it's absolutely beautiful to hold an umbrella when it's drizzling!"

Hongyan: "Okay."

While Hongyan went to pay, Pan Yun leaned on the counter and looked around. He glanced and saw a pile of handkerchiefs in the basket next to him, so he went forward to take a look.

Seeing that they were happy to buy clothes, the embroiderer smiled and said, "This handkerchief is ten cents each. If you like any of them, I can sell them to you at a lower price."

Pan Jun was excited when he heard this: "How cheap?"

"One penny cheaper."

Pan Yun leaned back and said as he picked, "It's still expensive."

She reached her hand down, exclaimed, and took out all the handkerchiefs that were pressed underneath.

The handkerchief is light blue and thin in texture. It feels like the material is just average, but there are two bamboos embroidered on the right corner of the handkerchief.

The finger-high light blue handkerchiefs were all embroidered with bamboo, and at first glance, there was almost no difference.

The embroiderer also saw it and immediately said, "This is cheap, six coins a piece. I won't hide it from you, Taoist priest. This is made from the fabric left over from last summer. There are many of the same color and the same bamboo embroidery, so it's cheaper."

"How many are there?"

"About twenty."

Pan Yun waved his hand and said, "I'll buy them all, five cents each."

The embroiderer was stunned for a moment. "This price is acceptable, but why did the Taoist priest buy so many handkerchiefs?"

"Use it, so you don't have to do it yourself."

Pan Yun paid the money and took the handkerchiefs, then he sent the beauty out of the town after she had paid.

There are many talented people in Longhu Mountain, and Pan Yun was really afraid that they would encounter stubborn people who slay demons and eliminate evil in Longhu Mountain, so he took out the Three Treasures Cauldron and sent them fifty miles away.

She handed the golden hairpin to Hongyan, and Xiaohong also appeared, and the two said goodbye reluctantly.

Pan Yun gave them a stack of talismans with various functions: "If you are bullied outside, come back to us. The Taoists in Longhu Mountain are generally good. Master Zhang knows you all and he didn't say he would drive you off the mountain immediately, so you must come to me if you have any difficulties."

Hongyan and Xiaohong agreed, then turned around and hugged Miaozhen and Miaohe.

Miaohe gave them some pills, mainly to Hongyan, because she didn't know how to make pills that Xiaohong could eat.

Miao Zhen told them a fortune: "I have told you that the northeast is in your favor. You can go to the northeast."

"The area around Nanzhili?"

"That's about right. This is Nanjing, with many nobles and wealthy people. It's perfect for you to gain experience in the secular world."

Hongyan and Xiaohong looked at each other and immediately decided to go to Nanjing. (End of this chapter)
