Thousands of catties of gold are piled directly in Xiongjing's bedroom, one catty and one version, one version of sixteen grids, square and square is very similar to the chocolate of later generations, but the color is golden. In addition to gold, there is also the king's order to eat 300 households. 'The inner surname is selected from the family, and the outer surname is selected from the old' - the Chu national industry is not blown by the wind, and the foreign ministers have always been stingy, how many yi are rewarded in other countries, how many households she is rewarded, and it is different for her own people, Xiong Jing was born soon after he sealed the food yip, and I Yuling in Meili (Wuxi), Jiangdong, thousands of households.

The eater didn't care about Xiong Jing, he was looking at the gold in a daze. This is real gold, the unique gold of the Chu State, not the brass of later legends. How much can this gold be worth? That's the first question on his mind; With the skills he learned in SC Forum 3 before, how much does it cost to build a sailboat in this era? This was the second question that came to his mind; His third question was: If he couldn't make a clock, wouldn't he have to wait for latitude to sail?

In a strange world, people always tend to something familiar to them. For Xiong Jing, apart from his own meaningless major, all he can rely on is his previous hobbies. He felt that this was the foundation of his life, and it was not difficult to achieve. Sailboats, wood, linen, nails, lacquer...... There are all the things needed in this era, and it is a little regrettable that there is no black medicine and cannot build gunboats, but in terms of navigation and shipbuilding technology in this era, ballistas and trebuchets are completely sufficient.

Build a small ocean-going fleet, not to mention traveling around the world, the Mediterranean can always go. Did the Romans rise? Did Alexander hang up? Who rules India, Persia, Egypt now? Cleopatra is so sassy and seductive, can she ride it? And then in the Americas, did the Yin people really pass through the Bering Strait? The Mayans, the Indians, who ruled the American continent? Can you get corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and rubber back? Or, can you immigrate to that continent and leave future generations with no place to stand?

When a man has money, he has a thousand catties of gold, and Xiong Jing, who has finally broadened his life once, has countless problems in his mind, and then thinks about how to solve these problems......

The golden jade jingled, and Concubine Zhao walked in.

"Jing'er doesn't seem to want to be the eldest son?" Concubine Zhao looked at her son, knowing that her son was like a mother, she felt something.

Looking at his mother, Xiong Jing had to retract his illusion and said, "Back to the mother's concubine: the child is not the eldest son." ”

"Can't or don't want to?" Concubine Zhao asked, her eyes staring tightly.

"......" The graceful and luxurious Concubine Zhao is beautiful, but her body is a little weak, but the weakness can't cover up the royal family's bones. Her eyes were bright, bright and coercive. Xiong Jing had to meet her gaze and said bluntly: "Back to the mother's concubine: the child can't and doesn't want to." ”

"Why?" When her son told the truth, Concubine Zhao's eyes softened and she was full of doubts.

"The child doesn't know how to govern the country or fight, and the world is in turmoil, so he can't be the eldest son." Xiong Jing glanced at the map of the Chu State hanging on the wall - the black pressure in the west was the Qin State. "Jing'er likes to study skills and make all kinds of utensils, so she doesn't want to be the eldest son."

"It is a craftsman's business to study the art and utensils, and my son is a prince, born to be a king." With a sigh of relief, Concubine Zhao began to carefully persuade her. "Although Chu is big, but after moving east, the national strength is weak, your father Wang Ping's life is to recapture the hometown and ancestral land occupied by the Qin State, if you don't revive the Great Chu, the Chu State is in danger......"

"No, there's still a ......," Xiong Jing muttered, he didn't want to get involved in a fight that had nothing to do with him.

"Jing'er!" Concubine Zhao's eyes brightened again, "You are the concubine of the Great King, and it is the best thing to revive the Great Chu, how can you use the excuse to avoid it?" If everyone is like that, how can a kingdom be a nation? Fu Zhizhi can be taught; Fu knows the war, and can learn it. The princes and princes are all in the community, they die in battle, and they win the rule of the people, what is the reason? ”

There was something on Concubine Zhao's body that made Xiong Jing feel oppressed and difficult to face; Her words made him unable to relate, and he couldn't say that he didn't belong to this world. Xiong Jing was silent, Concubine Zhao felt that she had said something serious, and her hand was on her son's head, but she was also silent.

There is silence in Qiuhua Palace, and it is rare to be quiet in Chunshen City. The news that the king of Chu rewarded Prince Jing and ordered him to go to school soon spread, and Li Yuan and others were mourned when they heard this. It's not strange that the prince goes to school, but it's rare to go to school at such a young age, could it be that the king of Chu has regarded Prince Jing as the eldest son in his heart?

"The prince Jing's crossbow is strong, and the king wants it?" In the inner room, Zhu Guan, the most trusted doorman by Huang Xie, whispered, although he was not at the scene in the morning, he could guess the shock of the crossbow shot three hundred steps away to the king of Chu.

"It's just a crossbow. The eldest son is the king in the future, governing the country is not a tool, and the prince Jing Yi despises the ears of craftsmen, how can he be the eldest son? Li Yuan was angry, he was very unwilling to achieve today's result.

"A three-hundred-step strong crossbow can kill and break the formation, and the non-Ge halberd spear can be compared. When the prince was born, he was born with a vision, and the prince Jing built a car that no one had ever seen before, and made a crossbow that no one had before, and the king would doubt it. "Zhu Guan guessed the psychology of the King of Chu, and it made sense." Since moving eastward, the king's mood has been depressed, and the ministers have heard that the king does not dare to look west every time he ascends, and his heart can be known. ”

"Reasonable." Huang Xie put down the wine jue and spit out lightly. "What is the matter of today?"

"The minister has two strategies." Zhu Guan was confident, "The king believes in the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth, and the only way to break them is to use the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth." You can send people to pretend to be ghosts and gods, camp Jiarui, the fierce prince, if the king believes, he will take the fierce prince as the holy king. ”

"There are many things about ghosts and gods, why don't you believe it?" Huang Xie subconsciously shook his head, he felt that this might not be able to hide from the King of Chu.

"Taibu Guanji, please bribe." Zhu Guan said again.

"Taibu ......" recalled the words and deeds of everyone in the court today, Sikong Tang Miao was obviously biased towards Prince Jing, but Taibu was neutral, at least he did not stand with Zhao Huang and others before the opening of the dynasty, "If Taibu is willing to help, he will not hesitate to spend a lot of money." Huang Xie said categorically.

"It's a big deal." Zhu Guan stroked his palm, and Li Yuan also smiled, his smile a little stiff.

"Ziyan has two strategies, what else is the strategy?" Huang Xie asked again.

Zhu Guan smiled and said nothing, seeing that Huang Xie was puzzled, he said: "Prince Jing is studying Lantai, is the lord a fu?" ”

"The king has not appointed Prince Jing as the eldest son, and I am not a fu." Huang Xie said.

"The lord is not a fu, who is a fu? And who is the protector? Zhu Guan asked. The prince Jing is smart, but if there is a person who is born to know, he is evil? For the long days of learning, the king will know its shortcomings. The lord and Lanling Ling Xunqing have an old relationship, why not ask him to protect the prince Jingzhi......"

Zhu Guan is the best among the strategists, although it is not appropriate to ask Lanling to order Xun Qing to protect the prince Jing Shibao, but the overall strategy is still right. The reason why the king of Chu looked at Xiong Jing differently was precisely because he was young and could make a strong crossbow, and he had the shadow of a holy king on his body. Although Concubine Li is favored, compared with recovering the old Ying and reviving the Chu State, ten Concubine Li can also be put down.

Huang Xie, who had the pulse of King Zhun Chu, began to pinch his beard again, but unfortunately the few white whiskers he usually pinched were pinched off in the martial arts field in the morning, so he had to change a few on the side. The white beard is long, the reverie is far away, and when all the thoughts are finished, he said: "Good, then use your strategy." ”

"The mother of Prince Jing is the princess of Zhao Kingdom, and when she is fighting for the crown, she will send someone back to her mother country to help, and the lord has to guard against it." Li Yuan is also half of the principal, and he is also satisfied with Zhu Guanzhi's strategy, but he is still worried about accidents.

"I have my own decision." Huang Xie only smiled, and instantly regained the confidence that everything was under control.

*

Spring is late, and the trees are blooming. Cang Geng, picking Su Qiqi.

The colorful car runs in the southern suburbs of Shouying, and the ruts press the tender green grass in the middle of the road, leaving shallow rut marks. This is Xiong Jing's first time out of the city, and everything outside the city feels fresh to him, but unfortunately, this is only the Lantai Palace on the outskirts of the city, and the road is not far.

"At the time of Yao Shun, the universe was desolate, and the land of the eastern kingdom was swept by yellow water. Kun Yu father and son, build a high platform, open a ditch, guide the Han water, near Ying, build three Taiwan. Emperor Shun patrolled the south and stationed in the tent, played the five-stringed piano, sang the poems of the south wind, and planted orchids, this station was called Lantai. King Xianwen began to build a palace, King Zhuang was wide, and King Zhao gradually won, so all the countries have clouds: 'Qi has Jixia, Chu has Lantai', Chu Ci Chu Song, all out of this ......"

On the wide four-wheeled carriage, the old servant Ge Li counted the past of Lantai, but unfortunately Xiong Jing had no interest in his popular science.

"How much is corn in Yingdu City?" Very strange question, Xiong Jing asked seriously.

"Back to the prince's feet: corn in Yingdu City is one stone and one hundred dollars, and it is different from season to season." Ge is a servant specially selected by Concubine Zhao for Xiong Jing, a Zhao person, who is over fifty years old, but his skinny eyes are blazing.

"How much is that tael of gold worth? And how much silver is it worth? Just when Ge thought that Prince Jing should care about the people's welfare, Xiong Jing changed his words and asked about the price of gold and silver—he always wanted to know how much the thousand catties of gold were worth.

"One tael of gold is worth six hundred dollars, and four taels of silver is worth ......"

"Four taels?" Before Xiong Jing calculated how much his gold was worth, he was surprised by the comparison of gold and silver, which was too low.

"Yes." Ge saw that the prince was like a businessman, and he was even more puzzled in his heart, but fortunately, he knew everything.

"One catty and sixteen taels, one tael and six hundred yuan, and one thousand catties ......" his head was biased, and Xiong Jing began to calculate how much money he had: "...... Ah, that's nine million and six hundred thousand dollars. After he got this figure, he continued to calculate: "If you buy corn for 100 yuan and 1 stone, you can buy 96,000 stone of corn, and Chu stone is 30 catties per stone, and 96,000 stone is ...... It is...... One thousand four hundred and forty tons. ”

Finally figured out that he had 1,440 tons of corn money.

"Tell the prince that Shouying corn is more expensive than jade, and one stone of millet is not more than twenty or thirty yuan from the merchants......"

"It's so expensive?!" Xiong Jing was surprised but also felt that it was not outrageous, after all, one stone of millet is not equal to one stone of rice. "How much is that boat worth? How much is it worth? ”

"The old servant doesn't know, please punish the prince with his feet." Jumping from grain to boat at once, Ge was directly asked stupid.

"You don't need to be punished, you can send someone to ask for it." Xiong Jing smiled. "Remember to ask what kind of wood is used to build the boat, and how valuable each is, so it's best to bring it back to me. I still need to know how much does the boat-builder pay? It costs a lot of money to buy a place in the countryside, and finally the price of copper, iron, hemp, and lacquer...... This prince is going to build a big ship. ”

Xiong Jing spoke in the vernacular, but fortunately he spoke slowly, and finally heard that he was going to make a fuss, and Ge suddenly understood. "Obey ......"

"By the way, there are good horses, I want to buy a good horse." Xiong Jing added that he didn't want to ride in a car, but wanted to ride a horse.

"Chu Di is not as good as Zhao Di, and a good horse costs 15,000 yuan." Ge finally answered, "The price of copper is cheap in Chu State, only 30 yuan per catty, and the price of iron is similar to that of all countries, 12 yuan per catty; The hemp is mostly cloth, and the thickness is different, ranging from ten to thirty dollars for a horse......"

Like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, Ge said everything he knew, Xiong Jing didn't remember, he just had a general impression. If he really wants to build a shipyard, he will definitely not be in charge of it himself, and he will just provide technical guidance.

Ge Xi, the servant in the carriage, explained Xiong Jing's suspicions, and outside the Lantai Palace, Dr. Sanlu took the official soap official to wait for the car to drive under the stage, and the students of the Gong clan who studied here also stood on the side. Only the celebrities in the palace are still wandering around and disappearing - after all, it is not the king of Chu or the prince.

"How?" The palace of Lantai, on the high platform, looked at the slowly approaching car, and someone asked lightly.

"Phew! The atmosphere of the villain is also. The warlock who looked at the qi was rarely surprised, and he looked at it again in disbelief, and finally shook his head with certainty: "This qi is muddy and turbid, thin and narrow, without nobility and without king, just like a merchant in the city." ”

"Just like a merchant in the city......" The person who asked the question still didn't believe it, but the warlock was a famous scholar of the Qi country, so he could only write it down secretly.

"The minister then greeted Prince Jing's feet." Under the high platform, the convoy arrived outside the gate of Lantai Palace, and the doctor in charge of this place, Qu Sui, took people to walk a few steps forward and bowed to the car, and the others followed him.

"Doctor Qu, please." How to deal with foreign ministers, Xiong Jing already knew. The three clans of Qu Jingzhao are the prominent clans of the Chu State, and the famous Qu Yuan also served as a doctor in Sanlu. He did not dare to slack off, and when he got out of the car, he did not object to his actions without being bowed down. "If you don't follow the king's order to learn here, you will be a backward adopter, and Dr. Qu and your sons are the predecessors of Mr. Don't dare to be courteous. ”

Children of a few years old, who have not yet begun to speak, speak in a clear and well-mannered manner. Not to mention the sons, even Qu Sui, who is close to old age and well-informed, was stunned after hearing this, and he didn't come back to his senses until the little officials around him coughed and signaled.

"Please." After all, it is the king's concubine, and Qu Sui still uses honorifics.

"Doctor, please." Xiong Jing walked before Qu Sui. It hasn't started yet, he is still a prince, and after the school starts, he will become a student completely, and he will perform disciple salutes to the teacher, Fu, Bao and others.

"Is it really a saint from heaven?" Seeing that Dr. Qu led Xiong Jing onto the stage and entered the palace, the son Jing Feizhong, who was standing on the side, muttered.

"Something extraordinary." Zhao Xuan, who thinks highly of himself among the sons, squeezed out this sentence from his mouth, and cherished the words like gold.

"What's so extraordinary?" A little boy snickered. In the year of the dancing elephant, pimples were abundant, but this did not affect the convincing of the sons of the group in the slightest. "It's nothing more than the palace maid temple has a lot of people teaching Xi'er."

"What Shen Gongzi said is reasonable. The one held by the prince is the skill of the Mo family......"

"False. The ink is divided into three, and the practitioners are all in the Qin State, where did Prince Jing come to the skills of the Mo family? "The sound of an awl is extremely uncomfortable to listen to, which is a detriment.

"Look, Osaunya." A sudden sound interrupted the argument, and four men were lifted out of the carriage a boat more than a foot long, the shape of which no one had ever seen, and even more strangely the pieces of cloth hung on the boat, like an eagle with furious wings.
