The ancient lady continued: "It is precisely because of the special nature of the Black Iron City, therefore, in the Black Iron City, the power of the city lord is not very large, and they do not have much interaction with the outside world, every year, it is our three major families who beg them, because we want to buy tools, they want to buy grain, sugar, salt, and wine. When your ship first came, I hastened to have someone bring a letter to my third daughter, asking her to urge her husband to seize this opportunity to establish contact with the mainland. Although my third daughter is the wife of the city lord, she has no way to influence the customs of Black Iron City. I'm just in a hurry, and I don't dare to contact you without the consent of the city lord, please forgive me. ”

Chen Wenhui understood a little, so she smiled and said that it was okay. Gu Na hurriedly said, "Miss Chen, let's go to the Black Iron City together." As long as you don't see the city lord, it's okay to go to Black Iron City. There's a lot to do in Blackiron City. There are so many treasures there. There are also many exquisite pieces of jewelry for sale, some of which are even better than the ones you have brought for sale. Also, although our embroidery is different from yours, it also has a different flavor, you see, I am a product of Black Iron City. Wen Hui looked carefully, the dress on Gu Na's body was full of tropical and gorgeous colors, rich and bold imagination, it was a very beautiful dress, Chen Wenhui had already paid attention to it, and after listening to Gu Na's words, Chen Wenhui became more curious about Black Iron City.

Then, Chen Wenhui and Wan Meizhen chatted with the ladies and girls for a while before saying goodbye and going back.

When she arrived in Xinguang City, Chen Wenhui saw her brother Chen Wenjun repeat the words of the ancient lady, and then said to Chen Wenjun: "Big brother, have you ever been to this Black Iron City?" I'm really curious. ”

Chen Wenjun said: "If you go to this Black Iron City, you will be very happy. Moreover, it is estimated that you will be received by the lord of the castle. ”

Chen Wenhui pouted and said, "I have a good relationship with the Gu family now, and the city lord's wife is the daughter of the Gu family, so she will naturally receive me." ”|

After finishing speaking, I found that my brother smiled and said nothing. said: "Ah, yes, my brother is talking about the reception of the city lord, not the reception of the city lord's wife." How so? Listen to the old lady. This city lord is very special, and he doesn't listen to his wife's words. ”

Chen Wenjun said: "I have been to Black Iron City, and I was received by the city lord. He is indeed a special person, no, you can't say that, it should be said that the whole Black Iron City is a special person, where are there really many weirdos. However, there are also a lot of quirky things there, which you must like when you go. I'm going to buy a lot of things. It is said that every lord of Black Iron City is such a strange person. The first time I went to Black Iron City, I just bought some strange things, and I didn't meet the city lord. The guards told me that the lord of the city was not free to see me. ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it and said, "Hmm. I see, some time ago, after I came back from taking Ziyu to the manor, you bought a lot of strange things, such as beautiful and sharp swords, beautiful wood carvings, and wooden pigeons that can fly on their own. Did they just buy them in Blackiron City? ”

Chen Wenjun said: "Yes. Those were bought when I first went to Iliron City. The second time, I thought of a way, and finally met the lord of Black Iron City and had a deep conversation with him. However, I want to cooperate with him, and I have not yet obtained his consent. I was thinking about taking you with me to see him again. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "You haven't negotiated well. Can you bring me and talk? ”

Chen Wenjun smiled mysteriously and said, "I just told you, I saw the city lord the second time I went, do you know why?" “

Chen Wenhui said: "Why?"

Chen Wenjun said: "Because I took your hair-washing chaise longue to meet the city lord for the second time, and the city lord decided to see me after seeing me. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Oh, I see. Why do you say that the lord of the city will definitely see me? The city knows that I made it up, and will definitely see me. It's strange that the city lord doesn't want to see the eldest son of the Chen family, the city lord of Xinguang City, but he will see us for a chaise longue to wash his hair, why? He's not a woman? ”

Chen Wenjun said: "I also met the city lord and understood the history of Black Iron City. ”

Chen Wenhui hurriedly asked: "What is the origin of Black Iron City?" ”

Chen Wenjun said: "Before the First Emperor established the Qin Dynasty, our Central Plains was ruled by the Zhou Dynasty. In fact, hundreds of years ago, the Zhou Dynasty collapsed and lost its rule over the princes, like a puppet. We call them the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. “

Chen Wenhui said: "I know this. ”

Chen Wenjun said: "In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, because of the loss of the strong rule of the Zhou Dynasty, the thoughts of the common people and nobles were unrestrained, and many families were produced. ”

This Chen Wenhui knew too much, and said: "Yes, at that time, there was a phenomenon of a hundred schools of thought contending. It is the glorious period of our Central Plains. ”

Chen Wenjun said: "Later, when it came to the Qin Dynasty, the first emperor of the Qin State unified the six kingdoms and established a powerful dynasty, and at the same time unified the weights and measures of the world, unified the written language, and wiped out many of the hundred families. Exclusive respect for Legalism and Confucianism. ”

This Chen Wenhui also knows. Chen Wenjun continued: "The First Emperor was very mediocre in his later years, and he reused traitorous ministers and eunuchs, causing chaos in the world, and there were rebels everywhere who opposed the rule of the Qin Dynasty. At this time, Emperor Guanglie led a group of heroes, for example, Han Xin, Zhang Liang, Xiang Yu, Xiao He and others to quell all the rebel armies and support the dangerous court again. Divide the five surnames to resist foreign races, and this is why we have five major families. At the same time, he was broad-minded and supported all the hundreds of families that were about to break off the Miao lineage. It's just that after he returned to heaven, most of his descendants of emperors were mediocre and incompetent, making a mess of the world again, and some emperors gradually began to follow the practice of the first emperor, respecting the Legalists and deposing the hundred schools. The hundred schools were hit hard, and later, the surname Liu replaced the surname Win to build the Great Chu, which became more ruthless, and began to respect Confucianism and depose the hundred schools. This time, the hundred schools of thought have basically been completely wiped out from the land of our Central Plains. Among them, there is the most important one, the Mohists. ”

Chen Wenhui's brain exploded. The Mo family is a powerful person, although it advocates both love and non-attack, but Mozi, the founder of the Mo family, is a genius and has invented many things. He's a big scientist. In her previous life, Chen Wenhui had seen this movie. It's just that I don't know, what my brother is talking about at length, and a faint light flashes in his mind, but he can't catch it.

Chen Wenjun continued: "Back then, Emperor Guanglie also favored the Mo family, so he had already prepared a retreat for the Mo family. It was to let some of the people of the Mo family bring their skills to this Yizhou Island with the three small families under him. This person of the Mo family established the Black Iron City here. Claiming to be a black family. Why the Black Family? Because they were a branch of the Mo family, they didn't dare to compare with the Mo family in the Central Plains, so they took a black word from the word "ink" and called the black family. ”

Chen Wenhui immediately understood. Why does the Black family recruit apprentices every year, why do those have so many strange things for sale, and why do city lords have a weird temper. Because they are all disciples of the Mo family, they are branches of the Mo family, they are a group of people who are engaged in technology, and they are a group of scientists. Only scientists can invent so many strange things, and some scientists can ignore interests and only think about how to innovate. Therefore, as soon as the city lord heard that it was the city lord of Xinguang City, he didn't have time to see it, and when he saw this recliner for washing his hair, he felt that he was creative and received it exceptionally. It seems that if you want to move such a person to cooperate with yourself, you must be able to convince the other party. However, Chen Wenhui himself knows his own catties, where is the opponent of this group of scientists, just relying on the wisdom from his previous life? This should be studied carefully, and you must use your own strengths to attack the weaknesses of others.

Chen Wenhui thought of another thing and said: "Brother, in fact, we can cooperate very well. They need a lot of ore, and they need people who need to mine, and they can only come by grabbing natives and prisoners of war. We can sell it to them, we have a lot of Japanese people in our hands, and if they need more, we can still ship it from the Japanese country in a steady stream. Of course, we can also mine ore from Wakoku, Goguryeo, and Silla and sell them directly. We just need to buy their technology, let their mine watchers help us explore the minerals, help us build a mine, we can mine ourselves, and then sell them the ore they need. ”

Chen Wenjun said: "Yes, I went with this idea before. However, the city lord refused, probably they didn't want to cooperate with us. Actually, I think the lord of the castle is very arrogant, probably because he doesn't want to cooperate with a layman like me. So, I thought I'd take you next time, and then we'd go to the city lord together to see if we could cooperate. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "This kind of person must be convinced so that they can cooperate with us." Anyway, it's been okay lately, so I'll have to prepare carefully, and I'll be sure to impress him. If we can win over the Black Family, we will have a higher interest than getting ten Yizhou Islands. ”

With the thoughts of her previous life, Chen Wenhui understands the meaning of the phrase knowledge is power better than the people of this era. With the help of a large group of scientists, more can be done, which is much more important than occupying an island on Yizhou Island.

Chen Wenjun also stood up sternly and said, "Sister, do you know that the Hei family is in control of an elite army?" ”

"Huh?" Chen Wenhui was puzzled, but he didn't know this, how could the Hei family control the elite army?

I'm working on a new idea for the next paragraph, and I'm working on revising the outline to try to write something better.
