(42) Goodbye Karembo

Seeing Bai Qi and Xue Yiran singing and harmonizing there, Liu Qianli was so angry in his heart, but people were also clean, he didn't know that there was such a person, and he couldn't turn his face if he wanted to, so he could only stand there sulking. However, if Liu Qianli knew that just now, Xue Yiran still used this matter to give Bai Qijia seedlings, then he would not be mad.

Xue Yiran accepted it in time, and politely said to Liu Qianli: "Lord Liu, please go back to the post house first, and I will notify you as soon as there is news, you can rest assured, as long as people find it, they will definitely not leave you in trouble."

Before Liu Qianli could speak, Xue Yiran continued: "I haven't slept all night, the widow is a little tired, and Xue Yiran has already stood up, and the ministers hurriedly shouted together: "Congratulations to Your Majesty."

It's a holiday, and now Bai Qi looks like an idler. Out of the palace, Bai Qi immediately went home, at this juncture, talking to anyone is not a wise thing for Bai Qi, Xue Yiran gave Bai Qi the military power, how can Bai Qi be the master of being slaughtered, a general idea has been formed in Bai Qi's mind, but Bai Qi still needs time to perfect it.

In the next few days, Bai Qi seemed to live a very leisurely life, accompanying his wife and children at home during the day, and sometimes walking around the street with his children in his arms. Bai Qi's act of holding a child is also a new thing in this era, men of the scholar class never take children in this world, even if they occasionally hug children, they are still at home, never on the street.

At the beginning, Xue Crimson and the others also stopped Bai Qi, but Bai Qi insisted again and again, and they couldn't stop it. Bai Qi's move has undoubtedly become a news in the capital again, although the scholar class has some disdain for Bai Qi, but the common people's favor for Bai Qi has increased a lot, and Bai Qi seems to have changed from a mythical hero to an ordinary person. The eyes of ordinary people are the simplest, but they are also the most realistic. In their opinion, this colt, who usually likes to hold a child and chat with everyone in the teahouse, is more kind and trustworthy than those adults who rarely see their true faces.

More than ten days have passed in a flash, and the willows in front of the Xinghua Village Restaurant have hung down thousands of willow branches, and the thick aroma of wine beckons passers-by to get drunk and wash away all the troubles in the world.

The restaurant is Qingqing, the girl who took the idea to open, but it is to renovate the original inn, and it has become a restaurant after redecoration, and now this restaurant is very much Xinghua Village wine store, you can't buy Xinghua Village wine anywhere in the capital, as long as you enter this restaurant, you can drink to your heart's content.

Now Bai Qi is sitting in the best position on the second floor, watching Qingqing busy working inside and outside the girl, Bai Qi can't help but feel that the little girl is too big, and it is time to find someone to marry.

Looking at the bustling flow of people outside the window, Bai Qi was thinking about other things in his mind, in the past ten days, Bai Qi had not been idle at all. Bai Qi first explained to Shi Wei that all the workshops and products in Qizhou were transferred to Panlong Mountain, which was developing towards becoming a secret base, and in Bai Qi's plan, he used the special geographical environment of Panlong Mountain to expand the production of gunpowder several times. Xue resolutely seized his military power, Bai Qi asked Wu Ming and Shi Wei to carefully select a group of people, and trained on Panlong Mountain, this time Bai Qi wanted to train not killers, but a group of soldiers who could go to the battlefield in the future.

What Bai Qi lacks most now is military trainers in the real sense, and when Bai Qi was thinking about how to solve this problem, he suddenly heard someone exclaim: "God! It's really Bai Gongzi, I finally found you

Bai Qi listened and looked back, it turned out to be the shopkeeper Yu who led a Westerner in, the foreigner was quite excited when he saw him, Bai Qi thought for a while, and remembered that this foreigner was the Karumbu who had been pounding glass balls in the Central Plains. I didn't expect this guy to be able to speak Chinese, no wonder he sounded awkward.

Shopkeeper Yu saw Bai Qi and said with a smile: "My concubine, I've been busy these days, Zhang Chu Houwei turned around, and on the way back, he actually met this foreign devil, he was clamoring to see you, so I had to bring him."

Bai Qi also stood up with a smile and said, "Friend, we meet again."

Kalumbu came up and bowed to Bai Qi, and couldn't help but be grateful: "It's my honor to be your friend, if it weren't for your help, it would be difficult for me to survive in this foreign country This time Karumbu spoke English, it is estimated that it is too difficult to say this, so Karumbu's native language came out again."

Bai Qi hurriedly said politely: "It's important for you to say that, I just said a few fair words at the beginning, there is no help or not Bai Qi said that he let the two of them to the seat, called Xiao Er to add a bowl and chopsticks and wine glass, poured wine for the two of them and drank a few glasses first, and then said to Karen and said: "Friend, have you been doing well for more than a year?" ”

Bai Qi's question opened Karumbu's chatterbox, and after taking over Bai Qi's topic, he began to talk about it, and only Bai Qi could understand the meaning of Chinese and English.

It turned out that Karumbu did not return to the West at all after getting a few thousand taels of silver, but stayed in Daqi. Karembu was originally a glassmaker in the West, and when he saw that there were almost no glassware in the Central Plains, he thought about making glass out of his own here. At this time, glass products in the West were also quite inferior, so only glass balls could be made, and Karenbu has always had the idea of improving the glass production process to produce more transparent glass. With this idea, this year, Karembu took the silver he used to sell glass balls, almost traveled all over the Central Plains, and finally found high-quality quartz ore for him, and then Karembu did his own experiments in the mine. After countless experiments, Calombu made a good quality glass, and after determining that it could be mass-produced with funds, Karembu went down the mountain, intending to find someone to invest in him.

The first investor target of Karembu is naturally Bai Qi, first of all, Bai Qi has no problem with him in language communication, and secondly, Karembu thinks that Bai Qi is kind to him, and always wants to repay it, of course, Karembu also expects this thing to bring him great wealth.

It's another huge financial route, Bai Qi can't help but thank God for his favor, just help someone identify the glass ball to get a good financial road.

After Karembu expressed his hope that Bai Qi would invest, of course Bai Qi would not miss it, this thing is an exclusive transaction, with the new source of money of glass products, Bai Qi's source of funds will be more abundant.

Of course, Bai Qi couldn't show too much happiness on his face, he thought about it first, and then replied: "It's my happiness to be able to help my friends, I have funds, but not too much, it is estimated that you will have to wait a few days, and I will plan before I can reply to you."

Karenbu now only hopes to find an investor as soon as possible, so as not to let his desire to get rich come to naught, Bai Qi can simply agree, Karenbu is already overjoyed. In this unfamiliar country, it is too difficult for Karemb to find investors.

"Thank you! Thank you so much! Karembu stood up, then knelt down on one knee and gave Bai Qi the highest etiquette in the West to show his gratitude.

Bai Qi hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "Don't be like this, we are friends, we will still be partners in the future, don't do this in the future, I will be angry."

Then everyone entered the normal atmosphere of drinking and talking, and while speaking, Karembu slapped his head violently and said: "Distinguished friend, look at my memory, how did I forget the gift for you Karumbu took out a bamboo tube from the baggage he carried and said: "This is a phenomenon I discovered by accident, I used this phenomenon to make a gadget and give it to you as a meeting gift."

Bai Qi wondered in his heart, this bamboo tube can be found everywhere, this Karen cloth won't fool himself with the bamboo tube, right? Bai Qi took the bamboo tube and looked at it, and suddenly felt happy, what kind of bamboo tube is this, it is clearly a simple telescope.

Although this telescope is very primitive, it can be seen that a lot of thought was put into the production of the carenbula, the surface of the bamboo tube is polished very smooth, and the two ends are carefully inlaid with glass. Bai Qi raised the telescope and looked into the distance, only to see that the scenery in the distance was much closer to him, yes, this is the telescope, he was not mistaken. With this thing, we will be able to see farther than our opponents in future wars, and this is called scientific and technological superiority.

Bai Qi was only happy, and he didn't notice that his actions had made Karumbu stunned. In Karenbu's opinion, he took a lot of effort to figure out the principle and function of the telescope, and was about to instruct Bai Qi on how to use it, but he didn't expect Bai Qi to know what this thing was for, this is also amazing, right?

Bai Qike didn't care about Karambu's surprised expression, and immediately said to Karun after trying it out: "I need a lot of this thing, you go back and think about it again to see if you can get a clearer effect, this is a bit blurry."

From knowing Bai Qi to the present, Bai Qi has brought Karenbu a magical performance, can speak English, knows glass balls, and now even knows what the telescope is for, and also makes requests. Now that Karumbu has equated the words Bai Qi and magic in his heart, he subconsciously replied to Bai Qi: "As long as the funds are abundant, I will be able to create it more clearly sooner or later."

While talking, Qingqing came over after finishing the business at hand, and he still had a plate of copied vegetables in his hand. When he saw Bai Qi, he smiled and said: "Brother Seven, it's rare to have the opportunity to cook for you, today is the first time, don't say it's unpalatable if you eat it."
