Chapter 53: The Walking Trojan Horse
"Dealer, look at how much my Trojan horse is worth?"
A middle-aged man with a stubble on his face pulled out a palm-sized wooden horse from his arms.
Although the horse is not large, it is extremely beautifully carved and lifelike, except that it has no hair, like a miniature version of a horse.
Middle-aged dealers also know that they are called winning by losing or losing.
Three days ago, I appeared in Bofang, and I lost about 100 taels of silver.
Now it seems to be lost.
"Trojan?"
"Don't take it, don't take it! I only know silver! ”
The dealer glanced at the Trojan horse in the hand of the public loser, and shook his head with an indifferent expression.
He only knows silver!
Seeing that the dealer doesn't want it, the public loses and wins in a hurry, and if he can't win some back, he can't even eat.
"Dealer, look at it again, this Trojan horse is not simple, it will go." The public loses and wins almost in a pleading tone to the dealer.
"Will the Trojan go?"
The dealer was stunned for a moment, and his eyes showed suspicion.
The surrounding gamblers also became interested and shouted: "Let's go, how does it go?" It's not like you're going to take it with you! ”
"Haha!!"
There was a burst of laughter.
"Let's go and have a look."
Hearing the laughter, Ji Jing took Princess Shenyu with great interest and walked over.
"Hehe, it's time to witness the miracle!"
In the face of everyone's laughter, not only did he not care about the victory, but said proudly and loudly, and then pressed it under the stomach of the Trojan horse.
Click......
A crisp sound came from the belly of the wooden horse, and the horse's legs moved.
The public loser gently placed the Trojan horse on the table, and a magical scene happened.
The Trojan will really go!
Walking on the table.
Instantly.
Everyone was silent, and the wide-eyed boss stared at the walking wooden horse in amazement.
Even the dealer was stunned!
The Trojan will really go!
It won't be dazzling!
Many people rubbed their eyes to see if they were dazzled.
"Wow, what a Trojan horse! Will go! ”
The Shenyu Princess, who had just walked over, looked at the wooden horse walking around on the table, surprised and her eyes were full of love.
"This lady has a good eye, if the lady likes it, I will sell it to you for one or two hundred." Gong Shengsheng reacted immediately, and looked at Princess Shenyu with a smile, looking unfathomable.
The shocked gamblers also reacted, and at the same time, they were surprised by the beauty of the sunken fish princess, and at the same time, they showed disdain for the asking price of the public victory.
At this point, the Trojan has stopped.
This Trojan horse is indeed exquisite, and it can walk, which is indeed extraordinary.
But what a joke about asking for a hundred taels of silver!
Just go and grab the silver!
What fool would spend a hundred taels on a plaything, and one tael is about the same.
"I'm crazy about silver!"
"It's not that you're crazy about silver, it's that you're crazy when you lose money!"
The gamblers couldn't help but laugh, and their tones were full of mockery.
The public also knew that this price was a bit floating, and he was ridiculed by everyone, and his face was feverish.
But fortunately, his face was covered by stubble, and it was hard to see that he was blushing.
Of course, the reason why Gong won or lost was called this price because he saw that Princess Shenyu was rich, and the young people around him were also rich sons.
Hearing that it cost a hundred taels, Princess Shenyu shook her head with some disappointment, she also felt that it was too expensive.
As soon as he saw that Princess Shenyu might not buy it, she was also anxious to win or lose, and hurriedly said: "If Madame really wants to buy it, I can cheapen it for eighty taels of silver!" ”
"No, fifty taels! Fifty taels can't be less! ”
"That'...... That's thirty taels, it really can't be less, woo. ”
I'm about to cry when I win or lose.
Hearing that the public won and sold for thirty taels, Princess Shenyu finally had an idea.
But she didn't have any money on her, so she couldn't help but look at Ji Jing beside her.
"Madam, thirty taels is still too expensive. This thing is worth a tael at most. ”
"Yes! Oh, yes! Madame, don't let him fool you! ”
"I think it's worth a few pennies! A child's plaything, and it's useless. ”
"Just send this lady!"
……
Everyone, you and I are chattering about the public victory and defeat word by word.
Ji Jing couldn't help but laugh when he saw it, this may be the so-called 'beauty benefit'.
If Princess Shenyu looked ordinary, these estimates would still be gloating about her being deceived.
The public wanted to explain, and in the face of countless mouths, he was not an opponent at all, angry and anxious, and his face was flushed.
Princess Shenyu couldn't help but hesitate in everyone's shouting.
Thirty taels is not too expensive.
"I want this Trojan horse." Ji Jing's voice echoed.
"One hundred taels!"
Ji Jing threw a piece of gold leaf onto the table.
A gold leaf is worth a hundred taels of silver.
In fact, one hundred taels of silver is not a small amount, and it is sixty or seventy thousand when converted into earth currency.
"Gah!!"
All the sounds stopped abruptly in an instant, as if he was frozen, and stared blankly at the shiny gold leaves on the table.
The thought comes to everyone's mind: there are really fools in this world!!
The public loses and wins and is directly stupid!
Didn't he lower the price of the Trojan to thirty taels?
Why is Ji Jing stupid enough to buy it for a hundred taels!
Astound!
Indissoluble!
In the end, everyone's eyes fell on Ji Jing's face with a faint smile.
Doesn't look silly! How could such a stupid thing be done!
Princess Shenyu also opened her mouth slightly, looking at Ji Jing blankly, very cute.
What the hell is wrong with Your Majesty??
Ji Jing could naturally guess what they were thinking.
But who knows what's going on in his heart?
Seeing the Trojan horse that could move, Ji Jing immediately thought of Lu Ban.
But it is unlikely that the other party is Lu Ban, and it is very likely that Lu Ban is a descendant.
It is true that a Trojan horse is worthless, but a talent is worth it.
With the technology that can make the Trojan horse move, not to mention a hundred taels of silver, even ten thousand taels of gold are worth it.
What is the biggest difficulty of a steam ship, is the steam engine. What is the biggest difficulty of the steam engine, is those gears, bearings.
The reason why this Trojan horse can go is because of the gears installed in it.
If you can win the other party, the birth of the steamship is estimated to be enough in half a year.
The birth of the steamship was not only a weapon of war, but also a weapon of travel.
With the ability of this era, don't even think about making a car or something, and even if you have a car, you can't drive it.
When the road is really opened, he probably won't be warped.
But steamships are different, they can be waterways.
It was not so difficult to dig waterways, and both the Great Zhou Dynasty and the vassal states were established in places near mountains and rivers.
Moreover, the waterways of the Great Zhou Dynasty are developed, and the waterways can be dug for a few years at most, and the most important thing is that they can be navigable while digging.
So it's not about the money or anything, it's about taking the other party.
Facing everyone's incomprehensible gazes, Ji Jing stared at Princess Shenyu, his eyes were gentle, and his voice was full of magnetic smiles: "As long as you like something, it is priceless." ”
“……”
"Your Majesty...... Husband......"
The softness of Princess Shenyu's heart was instantly touched, and all kinds of tenderness was like a dam bursting, gushing endlessly.
Staring at Ji Jing, he smiled tearfully.
Stunning beauty......
