Chapter 10 Jubao Zhai
"The founding emperor of the Zhongchu Empire is the three small characters at the bottom left of this stele tower: Kuang Xiaofan, and the prime minister at that time was Xu Yu. ”
Han Ming originally thought it was Qin Shihuang Yingzheng and Li Si, but he didn't expect to come up with two names that he had never heard of, and he didn't think that there were these two people in history after thinking about it for a long time, it was really strange, could it be the crossing of ordinary people? Maybe there was really this possibility.
Thinking of this, he also accepted that it might be just one of them who was a traverser, and a nobody like himself, and then showed his might in the other world, calling for wind and rain. It's a pity that I don't have that ambition, and I'm embarrassed by these seniors who have crossed over.
"Brother Kuang, I just now, En?...... Brother Kuang, your surname is Kuang, right? What did you just say that the founding emperor of Zhongchu was called?" Han Ming originally wanted to say that he had made a fuss just now, but when he called Kuang Hua, he suddenly found something that made him think about it carefully.
"It seems that I still can't hide it from Brother Han, that's right, the founding emperor Kuang Xiaofan is the ancestor. I have been hiding from Brother Han for so long, I apologized to Brother Han, but this identity is not convenient to reveal on the road, so I didn't tell Brother Han, I was about to confess to Brother Han as soon as I returned to Beijing, but I didn't expect Brother Han to find out by himself, please don't blame Brother Han. Kuang Hua couldn't hide his identity, so he had to confide everything to Han Ming.
And at this moment, Han Ming's mind was blank, he knew that he had climbed a big tree, but he didn't expect that this was not just a big tree, but also a pillar of optimism, this happiness came too suddenly, which caught him off guard.
After coming back to his senses, he suddenly thought that he would not be involved in the battle for the heir, whether he would be full of intrigues and tricks, whether he would be hacked to death by people for no explanation while walking on the road, and whether he would unload the mill and kill the donkey after the Kuang Hua in front of him ascended to the throne. In an instant, he thought about a lot of things, and his whole body was confused.
He even thought that Kuang Hua went to Linlun Town this time, and also met the commander of the Black Flag Army, probably to buy people's hearts, when he thought of this, he was even more apprehensive, and experience showed that as long as he fell into the battle for succession, he didn't want to come out in peace.
Of course, Kuang Hua didn't know what Han Ming was thinking at the moment, but he admired Han Ming very much. Now that his identity has been exposed, it is better to recruit him directly into the shogunate and give advice for himself.
"Along the way, I have also witnessed Brother Han's talent. Now that Brother Han also knows my identity, I don't have much hypocrisy, here I solemnly invite Brother Han to become an official, I don't know if Brother Han can show his talent and pay homage to the prime minister?"
Han Ming, who was still in a daze, heard the olive branch thrown by Kuang Hua, thinking about his appearance as a marquis, and his heart was happy. But I know what kind of material I am, and for a person who is not motivated at all, I want to be a marquis and worship the prime minister, this is not a fool's dream. Besides, if you really participate in the prince's succession, then you can still have a peaceful birthday? It is better to directly give yourself one hundred and eighty taels of silver, and then debauchery the world by yourself, it is better to match the sword, and have a sword world, wouldn't it be better.
Han Ming replied euphemistically: "Thanks to the prince's kindness, but I don't like to be public, and I'm not used to the intrigue of officialdom, I really don't have the extra energy to think about the marquis and pay homage to the prime minister, I'm sorry, I disappointed the prince, but if the prince needs me anything, I can't give up my definition." ”
Before Kuang Hua could speak, Kuang Peng, who had been silent behind them, spoke.
"You're wrong this time, my brother is not a prince, he is a real prince. My brother invited you twice, but you avoided it again and again, you really don't know what to do. ”
Kuang Hua heard Kuang Peng speak like this, and scolded: "How did you talk? He turned his head to Han Ming and said: "Brother Huang is rude, Brother Han is not strange, since Brother Han has no intention of officialdom, it is my abruptness, if Brother Han wants to do something for the dawn people of the world in the future, he can find me at any time, I will definitely let Brother Han display his ambitions." ”
When Han Ming heard this, since he refused, he couldn't say anything more in his heart. Besides, the person in front of him is not a prince, he doesn't need to take the heir, everything is his own worry. In the future, there will be no worries about Kyoto.
followed Kuang Hua and the others into a big mansion, and the tiredness of the past few days made Han Ming lie down as soon as he got into bed.
It wasn't until the dazzling sunlight of the early morning shone through the crack in the window onto the bed that Han Ming lazily opened his eyes.
Before Han Ming could get up, there were already several maids standing neatly outside the door.
As soon as Han Ming got up, the group of people swarmed in, and without waiting for him to react, he dressed up, put on shoes on shoes, and wiped his face. By the time Han Ming reacted, he hadn't done anything, and his whole body was already dressed up.
As a self-reliant modern person, this feeling makes him unaccustomed to it, and he feels like a mentally handicapped child when he is served like this, and it can also be said that he can't enjoy this kind of all-round service.
Standing on the edge of the bed and looking at his clothes, the color is slightly bright, the fabric is very good, silky and tight, but the clothes are too loose, twisted and pinched, the sleeves are large, and it feels a little ill-fitting, and it is very inconvenient to wear on the body.
An older man came to the house with a tailor-like man.
"Hello Mr. Han, I am the steward of the Prince's Mansion, you can call me Lao Gan. The master explained yesterday that when the husband woke up, he asked the old servant to take the tailor in the house to cut a few sets of clothes for the husband, and I don't know if the husband is ready. ”
As soon as Han Ming saw that he was the steward of the mansion, he cooperated with the tailor to measure his body. Although this dress is luxurious, it obviously does not fit with himself, and it looks very dragging on his body. And I don't like the style of the clothes, so it's still necessary to make a set of clothes.
As soon as the tailor finished measuring, he made a special statement to the tailor that he wanted to make a set of clothes that were tighter.
Han Ming watched everyone rush out, and the huge room immediately became empty again, looking at the ceiling made of wood that he didn't know what kind of wood he didn't know, he fell into deep thought.
What should I do in the future, whether to continue to stay in the Prince's Mansion to eat and drink, or to find a way to make money in this strange place, and then make a lot of money and travel around the world.
He didn't think about it for long, so he decided to make more money in this world and become a big businessman, and then travel the world. Although he has never been in business, but he has never eaten pork, he has seen pigs run, with the knowledge learned from the earth, he can definitely crush all the merchants in this world, maybe in the future he will be the kind of person who is rich and rival the country, travel with eight good horses to pull the cart, with a large group of thugs around him at any time, see who is not pleasing to the eye and go up directly to slap him, and then use the money to smash it directly, and then collect all the beauties in the world at home.
As soon as he thought of this, Han Ming's harazi almost flowed out. He was excited, and immediately discovered his embarrassment, but fortunately no one around him saw it, otherwise he would have made a fool of himself.
Now that he has thought about the future path for himself, he has decided to start from now on, starting from the ground of a tall building, and the first step in escaping the other world is to step out of this door.
Half an hour later, it turned out that he shouldn't have stepped out of the door alone.
The entire Prince's Mansion was too big, Han Ming thought that he could walk to the gate by just taking a road, but he didn't expect to wander around the Prince's Mansion for half an hour and never found a way out.
Eventually, he found a maid. Under the leadership of the maid, he, a person with a strong sense of direction, ended up confused. It took about five minutes to find a small door, which was different from the side door they entered yesterday, and it seemed that it should be the back door.
Han Ming went out from the back door and walked onto the street, the wide street was full of bustling people, carriages coming and going, and vendors shouting, which was an endless stream, a prosperous scene.
He picked a lot of places to visit, wanting to see more of the most distinctive places in this "ancient world". Along the way, looking at the various signboards on both sides of the road, although the words are a little unrecognizable, they are not all round and rolling, and there are also many square words, which can still be recognized.
After walking for about an hour, he stopped in front of a building called Jubao Zhai. At first glance, this store is a big store, and none of the shops around it are as tall as a five-story building, which alone shows that it is extraordinary. Han Ming thought that since it was a big store, he would have to see and understand, so he raised his feet and walked into Jubao Zhai.
As soon as Han Ming entered the store, he looked left and right, and found that this Jubao Zhai was very similar to a luxury store in his previous life. There are all kinds of goods on the shelves of Jubao Zhai, what jade, porcelain, and some ornaments, weapons, etc., to name a few, but the price is not low, even the cheapest dagger, it costs one or two silver.
By the way, Han Ming learned from Kuang Hua that the currency of the Central Chu Empire was converted like this: the lowest denomination currency was a square copper coin, called Datong Tianci Fang Yuan, and then a hundred copper square coins could be exchanged for a square silver coin, and five hundred Wen silver coins could be regarded as one or two silver, and there was also a kind called silver tickets, with a minimum denomination of ten taels and a maximum of five hundred taels, which was directly managed by the Qian and Salt Department of the Central Chu Empire, which was like a national bank, in charge of the currency and salt and iron manufacturing of Zhong Chu.
There are still a lot of people at the bottom of Jubaozhai, all of whom are wearing brocade clothes, and it seems that the business of this store is not bad.
The clerk waiting on the side had already seen such a person with a different appearance and dressed in fancy clothes, and from the actions and demeanor of entering the store, it was obvious that this person was coming to Jubaozhai for the first time, so he walked up and greeted him.
Han Ming was looking at the furnishings of the entire room, wanting to learn the style of the store's decoration, when the clerk's voice sounded in his ears.
"Seeing that this son has just arrived in Jubao Zhai, he may not know the situation of our Jubao Zhai, why don't you let me take my son to visit everywhere?"
Han Ming was looking for someone to introduce him to the basic situation of this store, but he didn't expect someone to come up directly.
"Well, it's my first time here for you, I heard that this is the largest store in the capital, I want to see it here, you can first introduce me to some basic information about this store. ”
"Childe, your vision is really good, to be honest, our shop, it is the largest treasure pavilion store in the entire Shangjing City, specializing in selling rare and exotic treasures, and there are branches in the entire Zhongchu Empire and even several surrounding countries. There are a few other stores in Shangjing that are the same as us, but only our Jubao Zhai is the largest and most famous. The clerk said confidently.
"The whole Jubao Zhai is divided into five floors, the first floor is just selling ordinary gadgets, from the second floor is some rare items, the top floor will only be open when there is a more difficult to estimate the treasure, and after the opening is sold in the form of auction, but not everyone can go up, only become the VIP of Jubao Zhai, receive the invitation of Jubao Zhai can enter. Childe, please come with me, and now I will introduce you to the situation on the second floor. ”
With that, the clerk led Han Ming up to the second floor.
Han Ming followed behind the clerk and was walking to the second floor, when from the second floor came down a richly dressed son, his shirt was a mixture of red and yellow, embroidered with an unrecognizable bird, with a dark green jade around his waist, with beautiful eyebrows and sharp edges, at a glance, he was everyone's son, and there was a group of people who nodded and bowed behind him, looking like a slave.
The staircase is not large and is only accessible to three people side by side. The clerk who walked in front bowed his head sideways to say hello after seeing this son.
But Han Ming didn't know who this birdman was at all, plus he had just arrived in this world, and he didn't have this sense of dignity and inferiority, he could call the prince a brother and brother, no matter who the guy in front of him was, so he didn't give way sideways.
This boy has obviously never encountered this situation, and there will be someone in front of him without knowing each other. He looked at the man in front of him and saw that the person in front of him was also watching him. Before he could speak, a dogleg behind him immediately shouted.
"That thing that doesn't have long eyes is blocking your son's way? Can't you recognize who this is? Don't you get out of here. ”
