85_85563 "That's not going to work!" The eldest uncle frowned, "We just run errands and move our mouths, how can we account for 30% of the shares?" A lot of achievements! ”

The third uncle also said: "The eldest brother is right, at most one percent each!" I'm going to draft the paperwork. ”

After arguing for a long time, it was finally decided that Xia Qingyun accounted for fifty percent, and the Hua family and the Yao family each accounted for two and a half percent. After writing the paperwork, the three of them signed and drew a copy, and each held a copy, and then they returned satisfied.

The soldiers in the fort could not be idle, and they began to work just after the sixth day of the new year.

Xia Qingyun was even more busy.

She selected sixty patient and careful soldiers from among the soldiers, and followed Niang and Qiuyun to learn how to make tea. Two hundred men were sent into the mountains, and several spacious and dry caves were dug in the most secret places to store the guns and ammunition that had been prepared.

He also drew dozens of colorful tea sets and sent people to the porcelain workshop designated by the Xia family to fire bone china tea sets for export.

He also instructed Qingmei and others to make small black tea in the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion with all their might, and press it into black tea bricks that are compact and easy to transport.

It's the end of the month. Waiting left and right, and not seeing the emperor coming south to pick up the goods, Xia Qingyun was a little secretly anxious in his heart. said that the merchant ship was going to sea in the first month, and the order of 100,000 taels of silver was not a small amount, so he shouldn't have forgotten it, right?

waited anxiously, simply entered the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion, played with Xue'er for a while, and distracted. Suddenly, I heard a report from outside, saying that the emperor was coming south.

"Miss Xia, are you in a hurry?" Huangfu asked knowingly to the south.

"Didn't Childe say that he was going to sea in the first month? Why are you here now? ”

Huangfu spread his hands to the south and said helplessly: "The plan can't catch up with the change!" Merchant ships were originally going to leave from Luojiawan in the East China Sea, but in recent days, the Japanese have been rampant and the shipping lanes have been blocked, so they have to depart from Liwan in the southwest instead. It's just to transport the goods over. It will take more than half a month, so it will be too late. ”

Xia Qingyun was suspicious in his heart, there were only a few people in the small Wa Kingdom, and they could actually block the East China Sea shipping lane? I couldn't help asking: "What basis do the Japanese have to dominate the sea?" ”

Speaking of this topic, Huangfu Xiangnan was also very angry. He dipped his finger in the tea and sketched on the table: "The Wa Kingdom is made up of a series of island nations, which lie like a chain across the Eastern Ocean. The Japanese were born at sea since childhood. Excellent water-based. Rumor. For five consecutive years, the king of the Wa Kingdom imposed heavy taxes and spent a huge amount of money to build more than 100 large sailing ships, specializing in plundering the passing merchant ships of the Qi Kingdom! ”

Xia Qingyun slapped the table angrily. "It's clearly piracy!"

"Worse than pirates! Not only did they plunder the property, but they also killed all the crew members and threw them into the sea! Huangfu Xiangnan said bitterly, "I have a friend who went to sea a few years ago and died tragically under the sword of the Japanese people!" You can't even find a corpse! ”

Xia Qingyun raised his eyebrows. I feel sorry for me. The country is so dignified that it doesn't even have a navy that can cope with the war. Let the Japanese wreak havoc in the East China Sea, how can it not be heartwarming!

Huangfu Xiangnan didn't want to talk about these sad things, so he opened the topic and asked, "Miss Xia, can the goods be ready?" ”

"It's been prepared for a long time. Except for tea. I also rushed to make 200 sets of bone china tea sets, please follow me to the warehouse to inspect. ”

The newly made bone china tea set has changed the simple and elegant style of the past. The curves of the teapot are as delicate as the buds of a flower, and the teapot is like the petals of a blooming flower. A semicircular handle was also added next to each teacup. The handle and rim of the cup are delicately gilded with a gold edge, and the surrounding area is decorated with colorful patterns. Some are painted with flowers and birds, some are painted with figures, and some are painted with complex and gorgeous patterns, all of which are lifelike and make people never get tired of looking at them.

Huangfu was overjoyed to the south. Asking about the price, Xia Qingyun replied: "Childe said that the goods were bartered, so don't be busy setting the price first." I have a picture here, if Gongzi can go to the country of Long Nose this time, please ask the craftsman to burn a batch of glasses according to the picture and bring it back. ”

The glass is drawn with charcoal and is so realistic that it seems to be able to be removed from the paper with a single hand, and the dimensions are carefully marked in small print on the side.

"This painting is very similar to the style of an exterior artist!" Huangfu looked south and smiled.

Xia Qingyun smiled lightly, and took a black tea brick for him to look at.

"Childe, please see, I pressed the black tea into black tea bricks, so that it is easy to stack and transport. When drinking, pry off a small piece and break it, put it into the pot and boil, the taste is the same as loose tea. ”

After inspecting the goods and settling the balance, Huangfu said goodbye to the south: "Miss Xia, I will send someone to pick up the goods early tomorrow morning!" From here to Liwan, you have to walk for more than ten days on the way, fortunately General Zhenyuan swept away the southwest barbarians, otherwise it may not be possible to arrive in a month! ”

Xia Qingyun had an idea, why not take this opportunity to send the newly developed guns and ammunition to General Zhenyuan?

"Childe, I want to take a ride and go to Liwan with you to open your eyes."

"This," Huangfu hesitated a little to the south, "It's okay to have multiple carriages, it's just that they are not comparable to their homes outside." I often go out and don't care, Miss Xia must be indispensable to wash and bathe every day, go out a little simple, you are used to it, how can you stand these sufferings! ”

Xia Qingyun said with a smile: "I was originally a woman in the mountains, how can I be so squeamish when I run in the mountains!" ”

"Okay! Since you are not afraid of hardship, then hurry up and prepare and set off early tomorrow morning! ”

Xia Qingyun found his father and mother and told them that they were going to the southwest with the emperor's son. Although my father and mother felt sudden, they didn't stop it. The mother hurriedly arranged for someone to collect all the shoes and socks newly made for the soldiers of Tunpu in the workshop. and rushed to make hundreds of catties of fresh bacon and sausages overnight, and asked her to bring them to the Zhenyuan army.

During this time, the blacksmith made six long spears, three short guns, and seven or eight boxes of copper cartridge casings, and she asked the soldiers to bring enough saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal from the cave to the Wishful Treasure Pavilion.

Calculating that this round trip would be at least more than a month, she carefully explained the picking time of various tea leaves on the mountain with her father and mother and Hua Yun Qiuyun, and told them not to miss the season, and if they encountered difficulties, they would go to Wang Shi to discuss.

He also wrote a letter and sent it to Hua Jingtian in Southwest Province, telling him that he would transfer from Liwan to Yuzhou.

As soon as it was ready, the next morning, just after dawn, the carriage of the emperor's family arrived.

After loading the car, the leading handlebar shook its whip, and more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages drove out of Beixi Village.

Huangfu went south with another team of chariots and horses, and had been waiting at a post station outside Dongchuan Town, and the two converged, and the convoy turned southwest along the official road.

At first, he was worried that Xia Qingyun was not used to long-distance travel, and after walking for a few days, he found that she had a ruddy complexion, was in good spirits, and did not show any fatigue, so he was relieved.

Where could he have thought that Xia Qingyun had a wishful treasure pavilion that he carried?

The two of them walked all the way, chatting all kinds of anecdotes from all over the world, most of them were Huangfu saying to the south, and Xia Qingyun listened.

Once, he said that he had saved a merman in the sea, and the merman gave him a night pearl, which could illuminate a room as bright as day at night. Another time, he talked about the gem country in Heifan, where people spit out a gem from their mouths every day, as big as a date, colorful and dazzling.

Xia Qingyun intercepted his words and questioned whether what he said was true.

Huangfu pointed south to the sky and swore that what he said was what he saw with his own eyes, and there was no lie. If you deceive people, you will become Xia Qingyun's pug in the next life! It made her laugh.

The two young people are of the same age, and their personalities are both cheerful and lively, so they laugh and laugh along the way, and they are not lonely at all.

Sure enough, as Huangfu said to the south, there was no barbarian incursion, and the official road was smooth all the way. It took only 14 days for the convoy to arrive at Liwan, a natural harbor in Southwest Province.

On the second day after they arrived in Liwan, they caught the tide, and three merchant ships of the Huangfu family entered the port to load their goods by taking advantage of the tide.

Before boarding the boat, Huangfu instructed Nanlin: "Miss Xia, this place is close to the Hengduan Mountains in the southwest, where there are often barbarians, you must be careful, don't walk around, and return home as soon as possible after a few days of play!" ”

Xia Qingyun burst out laughing, "Xiangnan, how old are you!" Just learn from Zhengbo's serious appearance! But you, bring my money back sooner, not a tael less! Have a safe trip! ”

The sea breeze blows the bangs on her forehead, revealing a smooth forehead, lined with curved eyebrows and smiling eyes, which looks particularly playful and cute.

After sending Huangfu south, she found a small inn in Liwan Town and stayed there.

This is the second seaport of Qi country, there are many merchants and sailors coming and going, and there are many imported goods displayed in the shops on the street, which are strange and eye-catching. She bought several fresh gadgets and planned to take them home to give to Qiuyun and Hualing.

On the surface, she was shopping slowly in the town, but in fact, she left a secret note according to General Zhenyuan's method of telling her to inform Qiuyue Shadow Gate.

In the middle of the night, someone gently knocked on the window lattice of her room.

Xia Qingyun listened attentively, one long and four short, three short and one long, it was the contact code of the shadow gate!

She sat up from the bed, warily pulled a short gun from under her pillow, put her fingers on the trigger, and tiptoed to the door, opening it a crack.

The man in black in a brass mask flashed in and pulled out a dark tiger talisman from his bosom.

Xia Qingyun also took out the tiger talisman given to him by General Zhenyuan, the two are opposite, and the lines are not bad!

"Miss Xia, tomorrow at three o'clock, you go to the Li'an Inn in the north of the town, find a carriage engraved with a three-legged bird pattern, the handlebar surname is Han, you tell him that he wants to go back to his mother's house, and he will send you to the general's camp!"

Xia Qingyun nodded, the man in black hugged his fists, turned around and disappeared into the dark night.

The next day, when the sky was about to dawn, she came out of the Ruyi space early, packed her things, and found the Li'an Inn in the north of the town.

There were seven or eight carriages parked in front of the inn, and the handlebars were leaning aside and napping.

Three-legged bird! She found markings on the wheels of the last carriage.

"Handlebar type, when will you go?" She kicked the wheels and woke up the drooling handlebar style in her sleep.

"Which handlebar are you looking for?" The man didn't even keep his eyes open, and muttered something in a low voice.

"Surnamed Han, is he there? I'm going back to my parents' house and hire a car! (To be continued).
