Sending things to Zhao Min has never been broken, since the old lady has to cook often and is not used to wearing fur, such a good fur fur can't be blind, so give it to Zhao Min.

Li Buqi rode out on horseback wearing a newly made fur made of seal skin, and the return rate was absolutely 100 percent, because no one in the Great Song Dynasty had ever seen a fur made of seal fur.

Today is the snow has passed, and there are many dignitaries and nobles who travel to enjoy the snow on the road. The silvery-white oily fur of the seal fur was shining silver by the sun, and it was even more dazzling by the light black part and black spots, which attracted people to stop the car and send a companion to ask Li Buqi what kind of leather it was and where he bought it. Li Buqi always patiently told them that this was obtained by a friend who hunted a few sea beasts at sea, and Bianliang alone had no other semicolon.

Bianliang in the Great Song Dynasty is a society where Zhumen wine and meat stink. There is no shortage of money here, and there is no lack of desire to fight for wealth, Li Buqi estimates that it will not be dark for the news that he is wearing a seal skin to spread all over Bianliang. Then it is logical that those who are not short of money will go crazy in pursuit of seal fur, and will prompt those who seek wealth to go to sea to hunt seals regardless of the wind and waves. As there are fewer seals in the offshore waters, seal hunters will chase the seals further north and east.

By the time they enter the Sea of Japan and the Pacific Ocean, where there are not only seals but also fur seals, sea lions, and whales, more wealth will lure more Song people into the ocean. Li Buqi believes that when they find the beautiful fur of the polar bear, they will go crazy.

When more and more people are seafaring and the range of navigation is getting larger and larger, more people will delve into navigation and shipbuilding technology, new shipping lanes will be opened up, and even a maritime society will be formed. Long-distance sailors need to find a suitable base off the coast of the Sea of Japan, and Hokkaido, where the sea does not freeze in winter, in the south, is an ideal choice. But human greed is always endless, and I don't know if anyone will fight the idea of Honshu and Kyushu.

And these future prospects will be followed by Li Buqi letting Zhou Qing hunt and kill a few seals, and put fur on his body to advertise.

What the? You say that the poor seals will be wiped out and the ecological balance will be destroyed? Are you stupid? Do you see when Westerners condemned their ancestors for the sake of fur and whale hunting? People proudly praise their ancestors for their pioneering and adventurous spirit, and only when you want to gain wealth through the same means as others, people will condemn you for destroying the ecology. That means I can do it, but you can't.

The primitive accumulation of capital has always been bloody, whether ancient or modern, but some of this blood is one's own and some is someone else's. Li Buqi has already thought that in order to develop China's navigation, even if he kills all the seals in the Pacific, it doesn't matter, and when he has money and leisure in the future, he can protect the seals in the Atlantic Ocean when he is less in urgent need of fur. When the time comes, you must declare to the white pigs that it is a crime to hunt and kill seals! To protect seals is to protect humans! And then the whole total agreement or something, what a gentleman.

swaggered all the way to the Zhao family, but the Zhao family's attitude was very unfriendly. There's no way, Li Buqi is now a plague god-like existence in Shilin, and his reputation is definitely not good. The Zhao family considers themselves a member of Shilin, so they naturally have to maintain consistency with Shilin.

Fortunately, Zhao Min is older and determined to keep his promise, and the matter of Li Bu giving up has not only spread throughout the Great Song Dynasty to the Liao Kingdom, but the Zhao family does not dare to act rashly, otherwise they would have found someone to marry Zhao Min a long time ago. So, although Li Buqi failed to enter the Zhao family, the fur fur was still sent in.

Li Buqi came out to advertise today, and in the afternoon, he rode a tall horse to Ding Du's house in person. "Bachelor, although the ship sent to find the Jurchens in Liaodong did not reach Liaodong this year, it accidentally captured a few sea beasts and skinned them. I saw that the fur was very warm, so I made a cloak for the scholar. ”

After saying that, Li Buqi asked people to present the cloak of seal skin, and Ding Du was also knowledgeable, so he was immediately taken aback: "What kind of fur is this?" ”

"Oh, let's call it a seal. This thing lives in the sea and feeds on fish and seabirds, and it is also very ferocious, similar to tigers and leopards, so it is called seals. ”

Ding Du said: "Oh, I'm afraid this thing is too valuable." ”

Li Buqi said modestly: "The people on the boat said that there are a lot of seals in the sea, but it is difficult to find, so I don't know that there is such a thing." So it's not precious. The people on the ship are still poor at skinning, so this skin is actually not very good, but it is rare now. Can you wear it for a bachelor? ”

"Okay." Ding Du put on his cloak with the help of his son Ding Wei and touched the oily and slippery fur, and couldn't help but praise: "It's really a good fur, it's stronger than mink and rat." ”

Li Buqi hurriedly took the opportunity to praise: "This seal lives in cold water all year round, and it is this fur that keeps it from freezing to death." And it is born in water, and this fur is naturally waterproof, which is naturally better than that of a mink. ”

Putting away the cloak and sitting down again, Ding Du couldn't help but persuade Li Bu to give up: "Zhongzheng." Did you know that whether it is Tokyo or other places, it is rumored that you are a disaster? Although the rumors are a little biased, you are always too drastic, and you should not implicate half of the Privy Council at once for Han Zhigui. Since you want to take the imperial examination, you will definitely become an official in the future, and if you make too many enemies, it will be difficult to do anything in the future. ”

Ding Du has never participated in the court, it is precisely because he maintains a normal heart that he can be respected by Zhao Zhen, and it is precisely because of a normal heart that he can pull Zhao Zhen's tiger skin as a banner and teach Li not to give up. Therefore, Ding Du's persuasion of Li not to give up must be out of good intentions.

However, Ding Du's kind temperament made it easy for him to be a gun for others, so Li Buqi would never admit that he had anything to do with the case of the Privy Council officials in Liaoxia, even in front of Ding Du. Li Buqi looked innocent: "Where did this start?" The case in the Privy Council was found out by Li Gongming, just because he was afraid of startling the grass and snakes, so I asked me to help arrest people. How could I have known that I could implicate half of the Privy Council. ”

"Isn't it for Han Ji-gyu? Those people have leaked secrets for a long time and no one has checked them, why did Li Gongming suddenly remember to check this matter? And it was found out as soon as I checked it? ”

Hehe, everyone can see that there is a connection with Li Buqi in this matter, but no one has any evidence, so they can only guess. As long as they can't come up with strong evidence, Li Buqi will not admit it, he said: "So it has something to do with Han Shumi at this time." If he hadn't mobilized the military army to encircle and suppress the Gyeonggi Liukou, there would have been no Arrest and Robbery Division, and there would have been no Arrest and Robbery Division to spy around in order to find out the situation of the Gyeonggi bandits. But it can only be said that those people in the Privy Council are too blatant, otherwise they would not have been found out so easily. ”

Ding Du said: "The people all say this, and the people say that those people in the Privy Council have done too much evil, and the hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops who died unjustly will not let them go. But it is useless for the people to say it, and sometimes it depends on what the court says. If your reputation in the court is bad, I am afraid that you will not be able to pass the township test next year. ”

Li Buqi was surprised: "Isn't it that the exams are all vague?" ”

Ding Du snorted coldly: "It's not wrong to be famous." If you're an irrelevant person, you're fair. But you are so famous, and your style is so straightforward and maverick, even if you can't recognize it at a glance, you can guess it. If you look for a small mistake that is similar, you will be downcast, and there is always a reason. If no one speaks to you, where do you plead? ”

Looking at Li Buqi's frightened expression, Ding Du made up the knife again: "Recently, a few people have asked me for your poems." What good can you do with that poem? Isn't it strange? ”

Seeing Li Buqi's bewildered expression, Ding Du shook his head and sighed: "Show me your recent article." In the future, the style of writing must not be maverick, do you remember? ”

Li Buqi hurriedly said: "The bachelor's lesson is. The kid is going to stay at home for the year, so he will study at home. I don't mess with anyone, it's done, right? ”
