Chapter 33: I Want One Treasure for One Person
"One treasure for one?" Cheng Yanjin was shocked: "Do you want to change Princess Lanling?" Brother Xian, don't blame my brother for not reminding you, Your Majesty's fast son-in-law is not good. ”
Zong Xiu: "......"
He would have a hot pain on his back, and he didn't bother to bite Jin Fei's tongue with Cheng, and said bluntly: "What I want to change is easy to love." ”
"Easy to love?"
Cheng Yanjin's face changed slightly, his breathing became shorter, and his eyes rolled around, as if he recalled some old things.
Zong Xiuqiang endured the pain in his back and said, "I heard Huailiang say that Yi Qianqing is the daughter of a criminal minister of the former dynasty, and an official slave appointed by His Majesty, and she will be punished to be a widow in Yi Feng Pavilion. However, the beauty is stunning, I see pity, and I want to ask my brother to deliver a message to His Majesty, just say that my Zongxiu is greedy for beauty, lustful and bold, and I am willing to exchange a treasure for Yi to be free. ”
"Have you figured it out?"
Cheng Yanjin stared at Zong Xiu with a pair of tiger eyes, without the smile of the past, his face was unprecedentedly grim.
Zong Xiu gritted his teeth and endured the pain: "I have made up my mind." ”
"You're not afraid of death?" Cheng Yanjin said coldly: "As a courtier, be a little confused in front of the saint, and it is a good thing to make a mistake occasionally, but if you cross the line, it will be a big thing to lose your head." It's too late to take it back now. ”
Zong Xiu raised his head and looked at Cheng Yanjin, his eyes were calm, without the slightest fear, and said with a smile: "Old brother, you just say whether to help or not." ”
Cheng Yanjin didn't answer and asked: "Are you sure that the treasure you want to offer can be exchanged for the freedom of the girl?" ”
Easy girl?
Zong Xiu was slightly stunned, and quickly smiled: "It's better to wait for me to make that treasure, and you can take it into the palace." At that time, if Your Majesty is willing to release people, I will spread all the usage methods to the world! Haha, I promise that thing is no worse than 'numbers' and 'formulas'. ”
"Really?"
"Really!"
Zong Xiu swore that Cheng Yanjin took a deep breath and asked, "What do you need to make that treasure?" How much more time will it take? ”
Zong Xiu tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "Just help me find two carpenters, two more blacksmiths, and two goldsmiths." By the way, when they come, they will prepare all the things that will work, and I estimate that it will take half an hour at most to touch the wood, and I am afraid that it will take a little longer to make gold, silver, copper, and iron. ”
Cheng Yanjin glanced at Zong Xiu deeply and was silent for a long time.
After a long silence, Cheng Biting Jin said faintly: "Brother Xian, if that treasure is really as magical as you said, it can be exchanged for the freedom of Yi Yatou, brother, I am here to thank the deceased on behalf of the deceased." ”
As he spoke, Cheng Yanjin really knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.
Zong Xiu was startled and wanted to get out of bed to help, but as soon as he moved, his back hurt hotly, and he sucked in pain.
"Shhh...... Brother, why are you, please hurry up, brother, how can I afford such a big gift. ”
"Rise from what you receive, rise from what you receive. Hahahaha...... I'm going to get you the best craftsmen. ”
Cheng Yanjin got up and patted the dust on his clothes, and laughed away.
On the bed, Zong Xiu's heart set off a stormy wave - what is the origin of Yi Dumping? Listening to Cheng biting Jin's tone, it seems that she is still the daughter of his deceased. But if it was the deceased, why did she stay in Yifeng Pavilion? As Cheng Biting Jin, opening his mouth and asking Li Shimin for someone is not a matter of ease?
"Former courtiers? Do you know Cheng Biting Jin? Could it be ......"
Zong Xiu vaguely seemed to guess who that person was.
"Damn, I'm playing with it again! If it was really that man's daughter, Lao Li wouldn't have skinned me. ”
Zong Xiu instantly cried with a sad face.
The ancient emperors were not afraid that their courtiers were greedy for power, money, and beauty, but they were afraid that their courtiers would not be greedy for anything.
The ministers are greedy for fame, the traitors are greedy for power, and the mediocre ministers are greedy for money, this is the image of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs in Lao Li's heart.
A courtier who is not greedy for anything is also the courtier who is most likely to be jealous of the emperor.
And after Zong Xiu was woken up by Cheng Biting Jin's words, he wanted to pretend to be a person who was greedy for beauty like other ministers of civil and military affairs.
Now it's okay, play big.
Cheng Yanjin seemed to care about the freedom of easy love, and his work efficiency was extremely fast, and it only took half an hour to lead dozens of people over.
"Brother Xian, I'm worried that a few craftsmen won't be useful, so I invited all the best craftsmen in Chang'an City, you can see what you like."
Zong Xiu: "......"
Good guys, dozens of people, all carrying tools for work, this is okay, but those who don't know think that Chengfu is renovated.
Zong Xiu sighed: "Brother, I'll just make a gadget, why don't you use so many people." ”
"Hehe, how easy people are to get things done."
Cheng Yanjin smiled and said to the craftsmen who came: "Listen well, you will work hard according to the instructions of my virtuous brother, and whoever does a good job will be rewarded." ”
Cheng Yanjin thought for a while, and then said: "You have all stayed here for the past few days, who dares to run around, be careful of your head." ”
Zong Xiu was speechless: "Brother doesn't need to be like this, the baby I want to offer, there is no formula, even if I give it away for nothing, it will be for nothing." ”
"Be careful in everything, this is called prevention before it happens."
After Cheng Yanjin finished speaking, he found a family member with a knife in his hand to guard the door, which frightened the craftsmen and their faces pale.
A craftsman with white hair and calloused hands walked out and asked tremblingly, "I wonder what this boy is going to do?" ”
Cheng Yanjin was also interested: "Yes, Brother Xian, what kind of treasure are you going to do?" ”
Zong Xiu endured the pain and said what he was going to do, and by the time he finished speaking, he was already sweating profusely.
I can't help it, I just got ten lashes yesterday, and it hurts.
"It's just such a thing, I have to work with all the masters, I don't know how long it will take to make it?"
After Zong Xiu finished talking about what he wanted to build, he asked casually.
Dozens of famous craftsmen of wood, iron, and gold in Chang'an City, you look at me, I look at you, all speechless.
Cheng Yanjin is the same: "Brother, is this what you want to do?" Are you sure this thing can be exchanged for a girl's freedom? ”
"What, you don't believe it?"
Zong Xiu asked rhetorically.
Cheng Yanjin was a little helpless: "It's a little suspicious, it's just an abacus, don't say that these Chang'an famous craftsmen can be done by me." And this thing is not easy to use, so it is better to calculate the chips. ”
A few master craftsmen were not angry: "If Childe makes this kind of thing, he can make it with a random apprentice on the street, so why invite us over?" ”
Zong Xiu rolled his eyes, he also knew that the abacus appeared in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but it was just a flash in the pan, and the use of abacus is not widespread until now, because the formula is not perfect. If you take out the abacus mantra of later generations, you can naturally push the use of the abacus to the extreme, far beyond the abacus.
Facing the questioning expressions of Cheng Yanjin and many famous craftsmen in Chang'an City, Zong Xiu said: "It is precisely because of the simplicity of production that it can be widely spread all over the world." Haha, don't ask too much, do it quickly. ”
"Hey, this kind of work is also worth asking us to do, Lu Gong invited us with a quick whip from his domestic servants, and thought he was going to do something exquisite, just a gadget, and put my whole blood on the ......"
"Don't complain, finish early."
"Let's work, it's good that it's not a secret job, otherwise I won't be able to go back."
Dozens of craftsmen chattered with tools and walked towards the courtyard.
Cheng Yanjin and the other craftsmen left, and then he wondered: "Brother Xian, what are you thinking?" I can remind you that Yi Yatou is not so easy to change, His Majesty hates her father to the core, if it wasn't for a few of our old buddies who took their lives as a guarantee, she would have died under the knife and gun. ”
