Chapter 55
Many years ago, there was a group of people in Zoroastrianism who yearned for the culture of the Eastern Continent, but did not want to occupy them by force of aggression, but could live in harmony with the people of the Eastern Continent.
The highest-ranking elder among them, Hai Biwasha, rescued the tortured sect members, took advantage of the unpreparedness, escaped from Yazd, escaped from Persia, went through many difficulties and dangers, crossed the uninhabited desert for 800 miles, and came to the war-torn Great Xia at that time, with Persia's special alchemy, after helping the founding Taizu to complete the great cause, he did not want any reward, but only wanted a beautiful place for the whole clan to settle down, and Zixia Mountain in Yanque Lake was the place where Taizu rewarded them.
"I am the descendant of Hai Biwasa, at that time my grandfather randomly picked a surname that he felt good as the family inheritance, which is too troublesome, often people call me lonely and cherished, probably because of this, a proverb, I am still alone, if I also have a woman by my side, I will not always be angry with Li Yunqing. Dugu Huaixin sighed leisurely and looked at the sky outside the window.
"The proprietress of Hongfang Pavilion, at that time, she really treated me as a poor boy who ate and drank for nothing, haha. Dugu Huaixin's eyes became distant, his thoughts returned to the past, and his ordinary face showed a silly smile.
It seems that the five-day miscellaneous life was not so miserable, not only was it not miserable, but it was also joyful.
"You like her?" Feng Ge said coldly.
Dugu Huaixin was abruptly pulled back to reality by her voice, and a suspicious red appeared on his face: "How can I be qualified to like her." She's so pretty......"
"Women are not as superficial as you men, you know how to look at faces, smart and interesting men are also attracted to women's love, have you ever heard of harmless sons?"
"I've heard it, I've seen it, the man who is famous in the four countries of the Eastern Continent because of his ugliness. ”
"But his wife is also very beautiful, and she is still a famous lady. ”
Dugu Huaixin shook his head: "It's different, although the innocent son is ugly, he is the national teacher of Dongning Kingdom, and he saved his wife's whole family in the sea battle. ”
"You only know one thing, but you don't know the other, it is true that he saved his wife's whole family, and later, because his wife's father was grateful for his life-saving grace, he promised his daughter to him as a wife, but when his wife saw his portrait, she immediately packed up her belongings and fled home. ”
Dugu Huaixin opened his bean-like eyes wide, and there were rumors on the rivers and lakes about the love story of the innocent son, Mrs. Jiaorong, could it be a deleted version?
Seeing that he listened, Feng Ge lowered his voice and said in a mysterious tone, which was actually the favorite words of all the gossips on the streets and alleys: "I know this very clearly." The innocent son originally felt that he was ugly, and he wanted to refuse, but he didn't expect Mrs. Jiaorong to knock on the door, make disrespectful remarks, and ask him to withdraw from the marriage. Later, the innocent son made an agreement with her that if the innocent son was named a national teacher within three years, Mrs. Jiaorong would give him a slave and a maid, and if Mrs. Jiaorong became the largest businessman, the innocent son would kowtow and apologize, and withdraw from the marriage. ”
After the contract was signed, the innocent prince opened up a new maritime trade route for the Dongning Kingdom, bringing great wealth, and the fleet of the Dongning Kingdom brought back great wealth several times to the sea, and also attracted pirates who wanted to make a profit.
When the Feiyun merchant ship encountered the Red Turban pirates who terrified the entire Dongning country in the Vicious Waves, Lady Jiao Rong happened to be on it, and the Red Turban pirates killed all the crew members on the ship, leaving only beautiful women like Lady Jiao Rong, who wanted to sell them to the famous Longgong Island in the Golden Cave on the sea as slaves.
Madame Jiaorong was already determined to die at that time, and wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the sea that night to protect her innocence.
Just when she wanted to jump, but was stopped by a person, she cried and made trouble, but the man comforted her with a gentle voice, making her believe in herself, on the dark sea, the man said for a long time, and Mrs. Jiaorong finally decided to believe him.
Later, everyone knew, the person who pulled her in the middle of the night was the innocent son who lurked on the boat and stole into Longgu Island, and finally the two took down the owner of Longgu Island and burned everything on the island to ruins.
After Emperor Dongning learned about this, he asked the innocent prince what kind of reward he wanted, he could be named a national teacher, or he could give him a part of the gold and silver treasures collected on Longgong Island.
However, he asked for the concession of passage to the Nanyang route, and then gave the concession to Mrs. Jiaorong, who had countless precious mahogany, ivory and spices, and only made a few trips, and Madame Jiaorong became the richest merchant in Dongning as a woman.
When the merchant ship loaded with precious goods returned to the port, the innocent son stood in front of Mrs. Jiaorong and knelt down, bowed down, and apologized before he could say anything, but he didn't expect Mrs. Jiaorong to kneel down neatly and bow down with him at the same time.
At the same time, someone shouted: "Husband and wife worship each other." ”
Thousands of people in the port cheered and witnessed the embracing of the couple.
"This is the full version of the story of the innocent son, Mrs. Jiaorong. Feng Ge took a sip of tea and looked at Dugu Huaixin with a thoughtful expression, "As long as you want to, there is still a chance." ”
Dugu Huaixin thought about it, and finally shook his head and sighed: "No, it won't work, the innocent son can win the hearts of the beauties or rely on the hero to save the beauty, but it is impossible for the proprietress of Hongfang Pavilion to run to any dangerous place, and no one will come to Hongfang Pavilion to make trouble, I have no chance at all." ”
"Not necessarily, there are unpredictable circumstances. ”
As he was talking, Feng Ge saw someone downstairs walking towards the No. 1 Blacksmith Shop in Great Xia from the window, and that person's dress was the same thing Feng Ge had seen in Zhao Yuan!
Last time at Zhao Yuan's house, he and Feng Ge did not succeed in fighting for the iron puppet, and this time he touched Shi Yan, and he didn't think it was just for tea and chatting.
Feng Ge remembered the weapon design manual she saw in Shiyan's study, and couldn't help but get nervous, she stood up and hurriedly said to Dugu Huaixin: "I'm sorry, I left beforehand." With that, he hurried downstairs, rushed out the door, and headed towards the No. 1 blacksmith shop in Great Xia.
Dugu Huaixin ate the roast sheep clean, wiped his mouth, and was about to go out, but was stopped by the shopkeeper: "I haven't paid yet." ”
The curtain behind the counter was opened by a slender hand wearing a jade bracelet, and the proprietress of Hongfang Pavilion came out of it, looked at Dugu Huaixin, turned her head and instructed the guy: "That's it, I know him, he is the owner of Yanque Lake Medicine House, let him go." ”
"No...... I have no money, I'm a poor bastard, and I really don't have money to pay for this meal, or let me stay and work as a handyman to pay off my debts. Dugu Huaixin's face was sincere.
Opportunity: If you have the opportunity, if you don't have the opportunity to create the opportunity, you have to go up!
Today's number of the No. 1 Blacksmith Shop in Daxia has been released, and the scalpers at the door, as well as ordinary guests, have all dispersed, and even the small vendors selling cakes and snacks at the door are all gone.
Feng Ge walked up the steps, the guard at the door knew her, respectfully invited her to enter the door, and not long after walking inside, he heard the voice from inside, he said loudly in Xixia dialect: "You make good things, you also want to sell them, right? My price is the highest price now, although your design concept is good, but if you want to really turn it into something that can be used in your hands to kill people and see blood, you also need money, I heard that your family has plummeted because of the impact of the Zhao family's blacksmith shop, right?"
Then came Shi Yan's cold voice: "Hmph, there is a long queue at the door of my house every day, no one knows who doesn't know, if you want to enter the door, you have to get a number, just that number, it costs a hundred yuan!"
"Hahaha, pull it down," was also quick to laugh with disdain and mockery, "It's okay for you to fool those who don't know, the queues at the door, the reselling numbers, are all the helpers you invited, it seems to be a prosperity, in fact, your family has been unable to make ends meet last month, right? Your family spent a total of 1,582 taels of silver on eating, drinking, and buying iron ore and fuel. There are 8,710 taels of things sold, but the profit is only 1,200 taels, and the money earned is not enough for your family to drink, more than half of this month has passed, only seventeen knives and three crossbows have been sold, and the net profit is only two hundred taels, which is just a fraction of last month. ”
"I heard that your youngest son should enter the school this fall? The eldest son is going to marry a wife? There are also several families with the closest relationship with your family, and there are also several wedding events that have been decided, can you not give gifts?"
He should have reported to Shi Yan like a cloud, every time he said a word, Shi Yan's face darkened a little, he didn't know how he knew about his family's accounts, sadly, what he said was true, and he couldn't say a word of rebuttal.
The Zhao family has quietly developed a batch of automated machinery similar to iron puppets, even if they are not used as weapons, they are very good as labor-saving and transportation tools for plowing the fields.
When a full-scale war broke out between Daheng and Beiyan, plowing the fields and carrying the burden to transport things was the largest actual need, and as for weapons, it was just to sell some kitchen knives or pig-killing knives. If it weren't for the fact that the three little sons of the Anding Hou family wanted to hunt, they wouldn't even be able to sell their crossbows.
If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have been sleepless for days on end, just hoping to complete the manufacturing of a batch of automated machinery as soon as possible.
It's just that if the picture on paper wants to become a reality, it needs to be constantly tried, and every mistake means that a sum of money is thrown into the water.
R&D has been going on for a while, failed five times, and after taking stock of his family's property, Shi Yan knew that he would do it again at most, otherwise, he would have to give up the development of new products and turn to the production of wood or textiles.
If it really came to that day, Shi Yan thought that maybe he would kill himself quietly and quietly in front of the ancestral grave, and he, an unworthy descendant, would make his ancestors lose face, and the only way to die would be to apologize to his ancestors in the underworld.
It was time for him to need money the most, and he offered a price that was not low, but the requirements he put forward were also very harsh: "The things made must only be sold to Beiyan, and they are absolutely not allowed to be sold to people from other countries." The drawings should also be taken away. ”
If things can only be sold to Beiyan, then the Beiyan people can buy them at a very low price in the future, and Shi Yan must also send someone to find a mine to do it for them, otherwise it will be a violation of commercial credit.
Based on the relationship between Great Xia and Northern Yan, Shi Yan felt that if he violated his commercial credit, he was afraid that the government would support the Northern Yan people, and at that time, their entire family would not be able to gain a foothold in Great Xia.
However, if you don't agree now, then it is likely that you will not be able to make something next time, and the plan to develop a new product will have to be stopped.
No matter what choice you make, you're cutting the flesh of Shiyan.
"Alas, that's it......" Shi Yan closed his eyes and sighed, "I promise......"
"Wait!!I can give a higher price!"
Shi Yan and Ye Su should have turned their heads at the same time, Feng Ge smiled and walked into the courtyard, only to see that she was wearing a moon-white soft satin waist-length skirt, covered with an ice blue placket, her long hair was pulled into a double ring of flying and looking at the moon, two shiny golden hairpins were upright and straight, and the two hairpins were inlaid with round pearls the size of small fingernails in front of them, and the jade rabbit pill-like jade earrings were dangling in her ears, and the eyes of the jade rabbit were inlaid with rubies the size of rice grains.
Look at her long and white neck with three amethyst stones hanging swaying, and a string of golden bells around the pearl at the hem of her skirt, with her gentle movement, there is a slight crisp sound.
The whole body is full of one word: expensive!
With such a rich and compelling atmosphere, even the person who wanted to use money to smash Shi Yan's head couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
The last time I met this little girl in Zhao's house, she couldn't compare to the martial arts of the man next to her, and she was forced to snatch the iron puppet, this time is it better than money, but she can't compare to her? !
should also be thinking about how much Feng Ge will pay, Feng Ge smiled: "I heard the price just now, it's too low and too low, isn't it that Dayan Kingdom hasn't begged for bargains in Daheng in recent years, hasn't grabbed good things, wants to be an uncle, and it's so shabby?"
"Little girl, go aside, your little fat powder and oil money is not enough to buy a knife here. "You should have looked disdainful, "Don't take out these fake things on your body, don't take them out and be embarrassed, the longevity locks on my three-year-old baby are worth more than the bits and pieces of your body." ”
It shouldn't be clear at all whether the things on her body are real or fake, but from his experience of traveling south and north, if this body is real, I'm afraid that he can buy all the equipment in this workshop, if it's really the daughter of a rich family, how can he only bring a male guard and run away?
It must be the daughter of the head of a small sect in the rivers and lakes, and the scholar came out to run the rivers and lakes and bought some fakes to make up the numbers.
Guessing the idea that it should be soon, Feng Ge smiled: "If my whole body is true, what should I do?"
