Chapter 154: Showing Off Your Wealth

Ali and Abdullah have been stranded in Qiongzhou for nearly half a year, originally he set off in advance for a transaction last year, and the transaction place was Quanzhou, where merchants gathered, where he had a treaty port, friendly officials, convenient facilities, familiar faces, and even language.

But since it is a wild place, of course, there is no reason to talk about it, and if you don't agree with it, you are afraid that you won't even be able to save your life, and these people who have crossed the ocean are not so much merchants as adventurers, and even sometimes they will make a cameo appearance as pirates, so the basic law of the jungle does not need to be said, and you can understand it yourself.

In fact, neither the military general who led people to intercept him before, nor a high-ranking official who later took over them, never told him why, and as more and more ships were detained, this doubt became more and more intense, of course, no one was worried about their lives now, and even the ships and goods were parked in the harbor in good condition, except that they were not allowed to go to sea, it should be as usual.

In this case, being idle is also idle, these people from Dashi, Persia, Zhuyuan, known or not, became the first batch of visitors to Xinqiongzhou, of course, this is the official statement, as for what they think in their hearts, no one cares.

Thanks to the early arrival, Ali has witnessed the great changes in the entire territory of Qiongzhou almost the whole way, from those hard as iron roads, neatly laid out foundations, full of postmodern style buildings, to the iron pillars that have recently been erected on both sides of the road, washing away their cognition again and again, just afraid of the legendary Babylon Sky City, such a scene.

For these buildings, the Song people have never forbade them to watch, but if it affects the progress of the construction, someone will come to drive them away, and the number of times will naturally touch the law.

Merchants seek profits, for new affairs, they accept much faster than ordinary people, because that often means huge profits, the more early the more so, recently, Ali's eyes have been attracted by this kind of iron pillar that shines on time at night, such a good thing, whether it is in the court of Cairo or the rich of Alexander, should have a good market, the only thing to consider is the cost, because here, it is very likely to be the legendary night pearl, huge, can illuminate the surrounding two or three steps away from the night pearl!

As for how the Song people got so many beads, he didn't care, he only knew that if such a precious thing could be used for lighting, then most of them would not hesitate to sell, the only thing to worry about was how much capital they had, whether they could guarantee enough profits, of course, he also knew that it was impossible to eat alone, and if he found some interested and financial companions, the risk would be much less.

However, when they jointly visited the local governor and the person in charge of the city, Huang Yong was worried about one thing, that is, his city department was still on the drawings, as a huge building that started almost at the same time as the road, and it was also one of the model projects in Liu Yu's mouth. That's right, it's a shelf, a shelf made of a lot of steel, cement, sand, soil and stones, and the weirdest thing is that there are countless bamboo poles outside this shelf to build a whole circle of wooden shelves, and then there is no movement.

Looking at these large and small shelves all day long, Huang Yong's patience was exhausted day by day, but he didn't know who to go to, the initiator didn't know where, one of the several stewards was busier than the other, occasionally caught one, and he didn't know what to ask, which made him very depressed, and he was about to go crazy, where could he still take care of this group of people.

"Brother of the Apparatus!" Coming to this island, Huang Yong doesn't know how long no one has called him, one is that his grade is too high, and the other is that he has few acquaintances at all, surrounded by a group of Tibetan people, he doesn't know how to send it, he suddenly heard it, and was stunned for a while, and then he reacted, and the depression on his face disappeared all of a sudden.

Pushing away those people who were in the way, Huang Yong couldn't help but speed up his pace, looking as if he was personally greeting him, but in fact, the two of them had the same official ranks, about two or three steps away, and the two arched their hands to each other.

"Ziqing, why is it too late."

"There are many things in the country, and it is not as comfortable as a brother."

Liu Yu smiled, and sent it away with only four words, of course, the details are all in plain sight, Huang Yong glanced at the people around him, and also smiled slightly, and then looked at the craftsmen behind him, as well as the carts that were being pushed, knowing that this should be for the huge building behind him.

"Oh, I can't believe it's glass!"

I have to say that the eyes of businessmen are poison, those things that are next to each other, separated by foam, and wrapped with polyester, and the blue-black are not inconspicuous, are really glass.

As soon as they saw those facts, Ali and the others' eyes widened, without the slightest awareness of outsiders, a group of people rushed to the cart, competing to reach out and touch, the strange thing is that Liu Yu did not let people stop them, but just let people protect them from overturning the cart, as for the contact, it doesn't matter.

"So much?" If Ali and others pay attention to quality, what Huang Yong cares about is quantity, and it is not a great thing for rich people to make lattice windows with colored glass, but it is not a great thing to use so much at one time, even if the building behind him is very huge, it is beyond his expectations.

"More than 4,000 yuan, some are whole and all are loaded, it is not easy, and you have to worry a lot." The other party's anxiety was almost undisguised, of course Liu Yu would not have any appetite, and said it directly, but he didn't expect this sentence to change from surprise to horror in Huang Yong's ears.

He didn't care about the Fan people on his side, pulled Liu Yu and walked two steps, seeing that no one was following, he lowered his voice and said hurriedly: "There are so many pieces in it, and there is no sergeant watching, do you want to keep you awake for a certain day and night?" ”

"Looking?" Liu Yu's face was weird: "Why do you want to watch." ”

"Such a large piece, without the slightest flaw, do you know how much it is worth in Beijing? I'm afraid that I won't be able to find a few pieces in the inner palace, so I won't ask where you came from, look at the eyes of those people, I can't wait to fly out and paste it, you put it here, aren't you waiting to recruit someone to steal it and rob it? ”

Only then did Liu Yu understand his worries, stealing glass and selling it for money, which could be regarded as a cold joke in later generations, but in this time and space, there is an out-and-out possibility, not to mention, those people will be the best buyers, and even go to sea will be saved.

Of course, they may not be able to remove the whole piece, but they don't have to be such a large piece, and if they break it, they can also set some kind of frame to play with, and maybe it can also give birth to a new cutting process.

Looking at the solemn face of the other party, he is not good at making any jokes, since there is this kind of worry, it means that it is heartfelt, otherwise it will be stolen and robbed of people's homes, thinking of this, Liu Yu waved his hand, pointed to the huge shelf and said: "It is a certain thoughtless, the wall should be built to surround him first, but it is not too late at this time, the installation and wall can be carried out at the same time, and when everything is done, the instrument will bring people to live in, and the completion of the Bo Division is also time." ”

"Fence up, how can you do it without sending troops, there are not a few retinues available, and you can't protect it."

"Then recruit troops, and use people to help your yamen, go to the dock to hold up a banner, pick some people who are willing to work, and ask Chen Junheng for a battle, and recruit a commander first, compare the degree with the forbidden army, and don't need to tattoo the words, when you should be the one who should be served."

This is a method, what will be installed here will take a few days, the flow of people at the wharf Huang Yong knows, a large number of people come across the sea every day, as long as the treatment is like what he said, there is no big problem in recruiting people.

"Alas, then it's up to you first, but with so many goods, they were sold well earlier, and I was unsettled when I looked at it one day."

"Sell?" Liu Yu didn't understand for a while: "These are all exterior wall glass, wouldn't it be a hole if they are sold, how ugly it is." ”

Huang Yong's eyes still followed him on the big shelf, and he didn't come back for a long time after listening to it, he glanced at the large and small shelves, but it was not the cave that Liu Yu said, could it be that these glasses were to fill these caves? More than 4,000 yuan, Huang Yong only felt that his teeth were sore for a while, sore, painful, and swelling.

Not only did he think so, but when the construction officially began, and the craftsmen unloaded the glass piece by piece, and began to install it on the pre-installed iron frame according to the size and number, the group of people could not say anything, which was even more incomprehensible than the legendary prodigal king who used gold to build a palace, because gold can still be found, where to find this kind of play? Are the Song people poor and crazy, and they don't show off their wealth so much, it's just the Yamen of the City Division, so what does the palace have to become? No one can think about it.

As if this kind of fancy flaunting of wealth was not enough, when it was night, thinking that all the projects would stop and wait for dawn, Ali and the others were about to return to the station with endless sighs and inexplicable emotions, when suddenly a white light lit up in front of them, and a huge circle of light illuminated the place far in front of them, including of course, the big shelf under construction.

All the people turned their heads, and then they were all stabbed and couldn't open their eyes, and the source of the light was behind the big shelf, and a basin-like luminous object hung in the air, emitting a steady stream of bright white light.

That's not the pearl of the night, the Song people got the sun down!
