In the evening of the same day, in Gujia Village.

The five surnames and seven wangs in the world, six families gathered here, except for the Zhaoyun prince of the Fan Yang Lu family, the other six people all came to visit, which was not only to ease the deadlock, but also to see it.

But this insight is amazing.

The representatives of the six great families felt that their eyes were not enough.

There is a stalk, called Grandma Liu enters the Grand View Garden, although this stalk comes from a later dynasty, but it does not prevent people from using it to describe the Tang Dynasty.

The families couldn't believe that the place they were in was just a small mountain village.

……

At this time, a whole day had passed, and it was about five hours before the county government battle, and if you convert the time of the afterlife, it should be about ten hours.

Dusk has come, the sunset is oblique, because it is the cold winter wax moon, so the snow on the ground has not melted, the dark red slanting sun shines on the snow, as if the field is dressed in a hazy golden veil, and the Gujia Village standing on the bank of the big river is just like a shining golden bump.

Gu Tianya didn't know why, he didn't hide it from the people of the family, he invited everyone to come as guests, exposed the situation of the entire Gujia Village, and even personally acted as a tour guide, responsible for explaining popular science to everyone.

The first thing to see is the five fire kilns.

When they came here, there was a kiln just out of bricks, the weather was very cold, the kiln mouth was very hot, between the hot and cold, the white gas sprayed thin like mist, if this scene was in the eyes of the people, they would only care about whether the red bricks in the kiln were burned or not, but if it was seen in the eyes of the literati, there was a kind of meteorological admiration.

The people of the family are basically scholars, so they will naturally be attracted by this atmosphere.

But when I heard a person suddenly speak, it was clearly a burst of inspiration, and he said happily: "The two gases of cold and heat are rising, and a white mist rushes into the sky, a good scene, what a good scene." ”

Everyone present praised it, and even Li Shimin's half bottle of water shook his head.

Gu Tianya suddenly spoke, and said softly: "If you ask me to say it, I will change the words." ”

The man just now was curious, and hurriedly asked, "How to change it?" ”

Literati have stinky problems, and always feel that they are the most elegant, the reason why he asked out loud is because he abides by etiquette, but he doesn't think that Gu Tianya can change the words in his heart, after all, everyone knows that Gu Tianya is from a poor background.

It's a pity that he didn't expect that Gu Tianya could really change. Not only can it be changed, but two sentences have been added, directly making up a poem, but the end has been reversed.

I only heard Gu Tianya say slowly: "The fire in the brick kiln is hot, and the woman doesn't care about the green silk. The heat and cold are not rising, but they are like cooking smoke floating on the stove. ”

Silence!

Everybody stands.

After a long time, the man just now made a move, suddenly bowed his hand, his face was extremely solemn, and said: "This poem at the end of the world is better than my million, although your words are not elegant, but your artistic conception is extremely far-reaching!" ”

As he spoke, he suddenly sighed with emotion, turned his head to look at the mouth of the kiln, and muttered: "A good sentence 'The woman doesn't care about the green silk burnt', a good sentence 'It seems to float on the stove', it turns out that the beautiful scenery in our eyes, the people don't think it's a beautiful thing." A group of women worked hard to burn the kiln, doing the work that only a strong man could do, they didn't care about the green silk being scorched, they only hoped that the kiln mouth could be successfully opened, and when the white mist of alternating hot and cold sprayed thin, they seemed to see the smoke rising from the house...... Why do you see cooking smoke rising? Because they earn wages to buy food. ”

Although this person is from a family, he is worthy of the elegance of a scribe, and he interpreted the verses that Gu Tianya had corrected, and there were almost no deviations and mistakes.

He looked at the kiln from afar, looked at the busy women in front of the kiln, suddenly sighed for some reason, and said softly: "Actually, I really hope that the people can be fed." ”

Gu Tianya was slightly stunned, and suddenly looked at him with great meaning, and said, "If the people of the world are like this......

Unfortunately, he was only halfway through his words, and the scribe shook his head abruptly and said with a wry smile: "How is this possible? I'm just talking. The family has been inherited for thousands of years, and he is used to being a master, Zhong Ming Ding can have food, and there is no frozen dead body in his eyes, Gu Tianya, you don't have to look too highly at me. I can only sympathize with the common people, but I will still be squeezed when it is time to squeeze, for the simple reason that I am a son of a family. Even if I don't enjoy myself, I have to work for my family. ”

Gu Tianya sighed, nodded and said, "This is the way of each party, strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong. ”

He paused as he spoke, then suddenly glanced at the scribe again, and said: "But the two sentences you just said made me admire your mind very much, Zhong Ming Ding can have food, and there is no frozen corpse, you can say these two sentences, you are already a very good family." ”

The scribe sighed and said, "All I can do is talk." ”

Gu Tianya's face suddenly turned solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "But I remember this, and I will definitely protect you in the future." ”

The scribe was slightly stunned, then slowly shook his head, and said with the same solemn face: "Even if a thousand years have passed, the people of the family do not need you to protect it." ”

The two of them were fighting, each talking about their own ideas, Gu Tianya looked at him deeply and did not continue to argue with him.

Instead, the scribe spoke again, as if he was very curious about the matter of the brick kiln, and asked aloud: "These five brick kilns don't look big, I don't know how many green bricks can be burned in a day?" ”

Gu Tianya smiled slightly, stretched out three fingers and said, "Three thousand bricks." ”

Hiss!

Everyone present gasped.

The scribe obviously didn't believe it on his face, and subconsciously said, "Isn't it six hundred in one kiln?" This is never possible. ”

Gu Tianya laughed and said: "It is not a green brick that is burned, but a kind of red brick, which is smaller in size and slightly inferior in hardness, so the output is superior, and the most important thing is that the cost is low." ”

Everyone hurriedly asked, "Could it be that the texture is worse than that of green bricks?" What else can it be used for? ”

Gu Tianya smiled again and said: "Although it can't be used to build a city, it can be used for building houses, because of the complex process, the cost of green bricks is difficult to suppress, except for the family when building houses, even rich families can't support it, but red bricks are low-cost, even poor people can afford it, which means that the sales volume will be very ......large."

How big is it?

It's literally in demand all over the world.

The families present were all human spirits, and their eyes were obviously scorching, and when they looked at the brick kiln again, it seemed that what they saw was no longer red bricks.

It's a pile of copper coins.

Finally, someone couldn't bear it anymore, and said tentatively: "Brother Gu is willing to take us here for a tour, obviously he didn't have a plan to hide it......

Gu Tianya smiled silently.

The man hesitated suddenly, but unfortunately he couldn't bear it in the end, and said in a low voice: "I don't know how to burn this red brick, is it inconvenient to promote it?" ”

Gu Tianya glanced at him meaningfully.

This person immediately understood, and hurriedly said: "We don't shy away from our greed, we do want to run this industry, but Brother Gu, you should also understand that the family has not always been vicious, if we run this industry, we can also benefit the people." The reason is very simple, we have great strength, not only will we open brick kilns in a large amount, but also will hire a large number of hired workers, which will make many people profitable, and earn food through work......"

He paused as he spoke, and then added: "In addition, there are benefits, the family has opened a large number of brick kilns, the output of red bricks will inevitably increase dramatically, the cost will definitely be lower, and the price will inevitably be cheaper, although our family has made money, but the people of the world have saved money, and everyone can afford to live in a brick house at that time, isn't it exactly what Brother Gu wants......

This man is really a good lobbyist, and his rhetoric is simply reasonable.

Gu Tianya seemed to be moved by him, and a piece of longing appeared on his face.

Everyone present was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "We are willing to invest five hundred yuan to buy the secret recipe for firing red bricks, Brother Gu, you should know, in fact, this thing is not particularly magical, we saw the red bricks today, and after going back, we can let the craftsmen ponder its firing method, the craftsmen of the family are very experienced, and it is easy to figure out the trick here." But we are still willing to pay for it, because buying secret recipes is a rule that has been passed down since ancient times, which is a kind of respect, and I think Brother Gu can understand it......"

Gu Tianya really nodded, but quickly shook his head again, and said: "Red bricks are indeed easy to imitate, so the secret recipe to give money is a symbolic rule, it is said that five hundred is already a lot, I Gu Tianya should not continue to be greedy, but ......"

"But what?"

Everyone present was obviously very anxious, waiting for Gu Tianya to make a statement.

Only Li Shimin suddenly looked strange, and he always felt that the scene in front of him seemed familiar.

Sure enough, I saw Gu Tianya sigh for a long time, as if his heart was full of guilt, and said: "But the secret recipe of red bricks is the ancestral heirloom of my Gu family, and when I developed red bricks, I must have poured my ancestors' hard work, if I sold it so cheaply, wouldn't I live up to the hard work of my ancestors?" ”

He paused here when he said this, and suddenly his tone changed violently, and said: "But you are all my good friends, if the family operates red bricks, it can indeed make the people profitable, for the sake of my ambition, I can only be ashamed of my ancestors, this red brick secret recipe, I decided to sell it to you, but ......"

"Gotta add money!"

This time it was not Gu Tianya who said, but Li Shimin next to him suddenly spoke, Li Shimin seemed to be smiling very proudly, because finally someone accompanied him to be depressed, pointed at Gu Tianya and laughed: "This kid is best at this, whoever buys things from him has to add money, if this king's guess is correct, your bid must at least double." ”

Everyone was obviously a little stunned, as if they wanted to confirm it, and looked at Gu Tianya.

But seeing Gu Tianya's righteous face, he said earnestly: "The main reason is that I don't want the hard work of my ancestors to be in vain, so I will mention the price a little, and the six of you will make up a thousand yuan, and our transaction can be concluded." ”

Sure enough, it really doubled.

The family present stood for a long time, and suddenly the scribe laughed bitterly, pointed at Gu Tianya and said: "It is you who changed the words into poems, and you are the one who cares about the people, and now you are a copper-smelling businessman, what is surprising is you, Brother Gu, you don't look like you are honest and loyal on the surface." ”

Gu Tianya smiled, smiling like a spring breeze, and said, "If you can agree, I am willing to sell another secret recipe." But I have to remind you first, that secret recipe has to sell for at least 100,000 yuan......"

Everyone present was stunned, and suddenly looked at Gu Tianya with burning eyes.

What kind of secret ingredient is it?

Dare to open your mouth and shout the sky-high price of 100,000 yuan!
