Chapter 71-3 Expenditure (II)
Chapter 71 Spending (Part II) "Oh...... We landed on the mainland and found that it was a place we had never been to before, and the customs and customs there were far from ours, and the people there looked similar to the people of Chenxing, like big monkeys, and they couldn't understand what they said at all. They couldn't understand what we were saying, so we had to communicate with them with gestures, and then they finally found someone who could understand what we were saying, and they communicated with us on both sides......"
"That's the people of Tiancao Kingdom?" I'm starting to get curious about this continent. Yun Xiu shook his head and said: "No, he said that he is a person called the Xuanyuan clan in the east of the New World, in the entire New World, only the folk customs of the Xuanyuan clan in the East are similar to our Tiancao country, and the language and writing are also similar, we later learned that the new continent is much bigger than our dynasty and the surrounding four countries combined." ”
"Tribal?" I'm a little excited. Orient? Regulus? Why is it so strong in China? Yun Xiu nodded and said: "Yes, although the New World is large, there are almost no formal countries, and there are no emperors, it is a very magical and free place, there are only all kinds of tribes, as long as they are strong enough, the leaders of the tribes can also be called kings, their gods and people, and many strange beasts that I don't have in the dynasty live on the continent together......"
Isn't that a fantasy continent? My eyes lit up, and the old man coughed lightly: "Yun Xiu, I'll talk about that later." ”
"Yes, Master Hou." Yun Xiu also realized that he had gone too far, so he quickly changed the topic back, "We used the silk, tea and porcelain on the ship to exchange precious stones and gold with the people there. The ship was repaired in the New World, and the food and water were replenished, and we were ready to return home, but our ship had been at sea for a long time, and we could not find the right route to return home. I had no choice but to return to the New World, and asked a lot of local sailors and boatmen, who didn't know that there was such a country as the Heavenly Silk Kingdom, and then some sailors took us to ask the witch for help, and the witch collected a lot of money, so she told us that the New World and the Heavenly Silk Kingdom are two continents that do not belong to each other, and under normal circumstances, they can never reach each other, just like an invisible wall, only at a certain time, the wall will open, and the reason why we went to the New World is because of the storm at sea that time, The wall was opened. If we want to go back, we have to wait until there is another storm at sea. ”
"And then?" An Yuanxi and Yun De's expressions were a little plausible, but I understood, the witch had already chosen the best way for them to understand to explain. In my understanding, the New World and the Kingdom of Celestial Dawn are basically land that belong to two planes and planes, and under normal circumstances, they are like two parallel lines that never intersect with each other, but at certain times, such as a storm at sea, the gate of time and space creates a gap and opens the enchantment, and the ships that were in the gap at that time enter another time and space.
"We listened to the witch's words, so we had to wait for the opportunity with peace of mind, and when there was another storm at sea, we really returned to the country of Tiancao smoothly." Yun Xiu said, "After coming back, Hou Ye carefully studied the sea area where the storm occurred, what month, what season, what weather is most likely to occur similar storms, studied for several years, and finally found out the law. In the following years, Hou Ye and I tried several times according to this rule, and each time we were able to successfully pass through the wall at sea and reach the new world. ”
Wow, isn't this a maritime Silk Road? The old man really has brains and vision, if others encounter this kind of thing, at most it will be regarded as a sea adventure, who has the courage and shrewd mind to study a risky or cross-time maritime trade road, as the saying goes, "wealth and danger are sought", and it is true. Thinking of this, I looked at the old man's gaze again, and suddenly a star of admiration appeared.
"Seeing that the business on the sea is so good, Master Hou gradually moved his mind, he didn't want to just sell goods, and wanted to do the business in the New World, so he asked me to go to the New World to take charge of this matter in the name of searching for immortals overseas and looking for elixir for Young Master Zheng and Hou Ye's illness. In the next few years, we have opened Yunshang Fang, restaurants, tea gardens, inns, pawnshops, and money houses in the New World, and the business is getting bigger and bigger. ”
"Won't you also be a marquis?" I said stupidly. Yun Xiu said proudly: "What is the feudal marquis? In the New World, if you have money and strength, you can proclaim yourself king, and Hou Ye is now the lord of several big cities, and his strength should not be underestimated. ”
"That's the secret of that extra." After listening to Yun Xiu's speech, the old man said slowly, "Ben Hou spent twenty years painstakingly managing another world in the New World, and transferred seventy percent of the Yun family's assets in the Tiancao Kingdom to the New World, just hoping that one day, the imperial court will finally have to deal with the Yun family, and when the Yun family can no longer hold on, there can be a way out." I didn't let the second room know about this matter, but I was afraid of leaking the news, and I also had a little selfishness, if there was anything sorry for Ben Hou in the second room, Ben Hou couldn't control them. ”
"Grandpa......" I looked at the old man on the sickbed, I didn't know what to say at all, he had been planning for the family all his life, and he had done this for the Yun family. My mind was turning, I thought of one thing, and asked for confirmation softly: "Yun Zheng also knows this secret, right?" ”
The old man looked at me and bowed slightly. It dawned on me that perhaps it was because the old man had such a strange experience that he was relatively more accepting and tolerant of some of my usual counterintuitive thoughts and remarks than others; Because Yun Zheng knows these strange things and hears, so it is so easy and calm to accept that I am a ghost from another time and space, in the final analysis, their mind and bearing are based on richer knowledge than others, how can there be any trust in this world for no reason?
"Girl, Qi'er." The old man clenched my hand, reached over with his other hand and shook An Yuanxi, looked at us and said cautiously: "I told you about this matter because I wanted to say that if the Yun family changes in the future, you can go to the New World with Yun Xiu to avoid disasters and preserve the strength of the Yun family." Yun Xiu Yunde father and son are people you can absolutely trust. ”
"Grandpa......" An Yuanxi and I both widened our eyes, and the old man immediately said: "Listen to me, when today's son is working hard and is a monarch with great talents, the Yun family has been beautiful for too long, threatening the imperial power, and it will not be tolerated by the monarch." Now our long house is withered, the second room is eyeing the tiger, Qi'er has only been back to the sect for two years, the foundation is unstable, Nuo'er is too small, the girl is a woman in the end, if I am not there, the Yun family will be chaotic, the emperor will definitely do it to the Yun family, girl, the method you told me that day to break the whole into zero, use it when you think it is appropriate, Ben Hou will attribute the remaining thirty percent of the Yun family's property to the second room, and they should be content. ”
"Grandpa......" An ominous premonition rose in his heart, the old man told us so many things today, why did the more he listened to it, the more it seemed like he was confessing his last words? My eyes warmed up, and I shook my head and said, "Why do you have to wait until that time, why do you just tell us to go?" Grandpa, you think so thoroughly, why do you want to stay here? ”
"Girl......" The old man closed his eyes and sighed quietly, "Tiancao Country is the root of the Yun family, grandpa can't throw away this root, and after I am a hundred years old, I will go to the Cangdu Yun Clan Cemetery to see the ancestors and ancestors......"
I couldn't hold back my tears anymore, and An Yuanxi said softly: "Grandpa is tired, let him sleep for a while, let's all go out." I wiped my tears and got up to exit the room with them.
