Fu Zhirong picked up the paperwork that Fang Jinshi threw on the table, looked up and down, and said, "The little boy only takes this little money to use, is it enough?" ”

Fang Jinshi ignored him, Fu Zhirong took the initiative to take out a small seal from his arms, and signaled to him to follow the tent, the tent gentleman took the seal pad from the cloth bag, Fu Zhirong stamped a seal on the paperwork, took it and handed it to the tent and said, "You go and hand it over to the counter." ”

The bookkeeper took it and went downstairs, he took the initiative to show goodwill, and Fang Jinshi was inconvenient to show him too much, so he said: "Thank you for the rich shopkeeper." ”

Fu Zhirong smiled and said: "It's all a matter of duty, the little boy is polite, by the way, I heard that the little boy recently opened a cloth village?" ”

Fang Jinshi said: "There is such a thing, rest assured, the rich shopkeeper can rest assured, I will definitely act according to the rules of the four seas firm, and I will not ink Cai Fuma's money." ”

Fu Zhirong said slightly embarrassed: "Where is this, Fu just wants to have time to pick a few pieces of fabric on the little boy's cloth village, the little boy is on the peak, how dare Fu talk nonsense." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "The rich shopkeeper can say anything. He said no more, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, judging from these simple words and what Fu Zhirong did, this person was not an easy person to deal with.

The two sat with their heads bored for a while, and the atmosphere was a little awkward, but soon someone downstairs shouted: "Shopkeeper Ji is back." ”

After a while, footsteps sounded at the stairs, and the two walked in, the first one was Ji Chang'an, and the one behind was the Persian prince Rikaan, whose name was Wang An.

Ji Changan came in and said, "The two of you have been waiting for a long time, and I am really sorry to accompany Prince Rikaan to the yamen." ”

Fu Zhirong said: "Everyone knows that Shopkeeper Ji is busy, and it should be better to wait a little longer, I happen to have a good acquaintance with the little boy." ”

Ji Changan glanced at Fang Jinshi, this glance was quite meaningful, and then said: "The little prince accompanied Prince Rikaan to drink tea, I have some business to discuss with the rich shopkeeper, and I will come back soon." ”

Fang Jinshi nodded and agreed, and Ji Changan and Fu Zhirong went downstairs and went out together. Soon, another guy brought good tea, Fang Jinshi looked at the Persian prince, and thought: "I don't know if this Persian prince knows it himself, the jewel he bought has been given to me by Cai Meng as a favor." ”

As he was thinking, Prince Rikaan took a sip of tea and said, "Good tea, really good tea." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "The prince also has a taste of the tea in the Central Plains? ”

Prince Rikaan said: "Don't dare, I've been used to drinking Central Plains tea since I was ten years old, and I always have some at home, but I can only drink it, not taste it." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "The prince's merchant ship can load tea when it goes back?" ”

Prince Rikaan said: "There are some similarities, but the number is very small, the most is ceramics, the porcelain of the Central Plains is a precious thing in the Seljuk Kingdom, but tea is not too much of a person's like." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "Then the prince can make a lot of money when he goes back by boat." ”

Prince Rikaan sighed and said: "It is possible to make some money, but for a long time, the gold, silver, pearls and treasures of Persia have come in a steady stream, and there will always be an endless time, which is always very bad, but there is nothing to be done about it, and it cannot be stopped." ”

Fang Jinshi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and suddenly had respect for this Persian prince in his heart, you must know that what the Persian prince mentioned was the trade deficit between Persia and the Central Plains Dynasty in international trade, that is, the export of excess imports, which was unfavorable to Persia for a long time.

It is not easy for this little prince to see this.

Fang Jinshi smiled and said, "When the little prince came, he also loaded some goods from Persia on the ship and transported them to sell, isn't it okay?" ”

Prince Rikaan sighed: "It's not easy to say, you can only sell it by transporting some spices, etc., but it's just a drop in the bucket, and the Persian goods are not liked by the Central Plains." ”

Fang Jinshi's heart moved when he heard this, and he pretended to be casual and said, "I heard that the Persian scimitar is good, Prince Rikaan might as well transport some over and try it." ”

Prince Rikaan immediately said: "The little prince is joking, unless it is purchased by the government, who else dares to buy weapons in large quantities?" I have a scimitar, and I have a piercing axe, but no one dares to ask for it. ”

Fang Jinshi listened and said curiously: "What is the piercing axe?" ”

Prince Rikaan said: "It is a sharp Persian axe, an axe that can cut through iron armor. ”

Fang Jinshi immediately said, "Does the prince have a physical object?" Can you let you open your eyes under it. ”

Prince Rikaan smiled and said: "This is easy to say, I have it on the ship, and I will send one to the house when I go back, but it is okay to say that this axe is not good for chopping wood." ”

Fang Jinshi also smiled, here Prince Ka'an is easy to communicate, and he is straightforward, he is a friend to make, the two talked for a while, Prince Rika'an said: "The tea in the Central Plains is getting deeper and deeper, and if you don't drink it for a day, you will feel bad." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "The tea is good, the water must also be good, when I am free, I will invite the prince to drink tea in Yunzhuang behind Hanshan Temple, where is mountain spring water, and the tea is more delicious." ”

Prince Rikaan nodded, looked at the tea, and said: "When I was a child, my family was poor, and Persia was poor in the land of sand dunes, and the water I drank was all turbid and turbid, and the water there was bitter and tasteful, and I never thought that the water would be so mellow." ”

Fang Jinshi silently did not speak, and Prince Rikaan said again: "When I was a teenager, I thought that I must find a way to turn turbid water into clear water for the benefit of the township, but it is only today that I know that it is a fantasy, turbid water is turbid water, how can it become clear water." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "Prince Rika'an doesn't have to be too anxious, it's not impossible for turbid water to turn into clear water." ”

Prince Rikaan raised his eyebrows and said urgently, "Do you have a way?" ”

Fang Jinshi stammered, "This ...... Allow me...... Think about it...... "It's not difficult for turbid water to turn into clear water, it's just filtered and distilled, but for ordinary people, it's not very practical, and the best way is a hydrostatic agent, but what is the main ingredient of this hydrostatic agent and how to make it, Fang Jinshi doesn't know at all."

Prince Rikaan looked at him and said disappointedly, "That's ...... The little boy helps me pay more attention, and if there is a way, no matter how much it costs, I am willing. ”

Fang Jinshi nodded in agreement, and suddenly he thought of another one, so he said: "I have a way, I don't know if the spirit is not spiritual." ”

Prince Rikaan said, "What way? ”

Fang Jinshi said: "Let's try to show the prince first." He went to the door and called a fellow to prepare a basin of muddy water, and then took a piece of paper and prescribed a prescription, and asked the fellow to go to the pharmacy to buy alum stone for him.

The man bought the alum stone and came back, Fang Jinshi smashed it and sprinkled it in a basin of turbid water, and then said to Prince Rikaan: "Let's drink tea for a while first and see if it works." ”

Alum stone is purified is alum, in addition to alum can be used in medicine, it can also purify water, which can be learned in junior high school chemistry, Fang Jinshi ate the alum stone given to him by the golden sponge this morning, and knew what alum stone looks like, so he remembered it.

However, this alum stone has not been purified, and Fang Jinshi doesn't know what the effect is, but Prince Rikaan took the tea, squatted in the basin and stared, Fang Jinshi smiled: "The prince doesn't have to be too anxious, this is very slow, it will take a long time." ”

This alum stone really worked, the dirt in the turbid water slowly condensed and precipitated, the water slowly became clear, and Prince Rika'an's feet were numb, so he thought about moving the stool over and sitting and watching, Fang Jinshi was secretly funny, and it was also up to him.

After a long time, it was noon, and the water in the basin was already relatively clear, so Prince Rikaan stood up straight, moved his muscles and bones, and said: "Little boy, this method is really good, what is this medicine, I am willing to ask for it with a lot of money, and the little boy just needs to open his mouth." "He has a lot of money, and he is in a hurry, and he should ask for a large price.

Fang Jinshi smiled, took the prescription directly, and said: "This thing is called alum stone, which is usually sold in pharmacies, and the little prince can just buy it from a medicinal herb merchant, between you and my friends, a small method, what money do you need." ”

When Prince Rikaan heard him say that he didn't even want money, he straightened up and said, "Thank you, just by the words of the little boy, I recognize you as a friend." ”

Fang Jinshi's mood suddenly brightened, the anger he had made for Fu Zhirong had already been swept away, although Prince Ka'an had known each other for a short time, he could already feel his straightforwardness and kindness, and he valued faith and righteousness.

Prince Rikaan said: "Little boy, it's noon, I'll invite my little boy to eat and drink." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "If you still have something to do in the future, let's wait for the shopkeeper Ji, let's do it another day." ”

Prince Rikaan was anxious to go back and test the effect of this alum stone, so he took his leave and went back, Fang Jinshi saw that he was in a hurry, and suddenly remembered that he had not yet told him that the jewel was already in his house, but it seemed that for Rikaan, this was not important at all.

As soon as Prince Rikaan left, Ji Changan came back, he came back alone, Fu Zhirong did not come back together, Ji Changan even said sorry, he was busy with business, and he didn't finish it until now, Fang Jinshi said: "The time is just right, how about we go outside for a few drinks?" ”

Ji Changan agreed, and the two of them went out of the Four Seas Money Village, walked more than 100 steps to the west, and there was a small restaurant here, called "Panasonic Residence", Ji Changan was a regular customer, so he entered first.

As soon as Fang Jinshi walked in, he heard someone shouting: "Young Master Fang, it's such a coincidence that I met you here." ”

Fang Jinshi looked up, it was Shi Hao, he was sitting alone at the table in the hall, the table was empty, and he had just come to wait for the food to be served, Fang Jinshi nodded at him and said, "Shi Gongzi, I am fortunate to be happy." ”

Shi Hao said: "It's better to meet by chance, how about a few drinks together?" ”

Fang Jinshi and Ji Changan inevitably had some secret things to talk about the disputes between Cai and Zhao, and they didn't want outsiders to be together, but since he invited each other like this, Fang Jinshi was not good at refusing other people's kindness, so he had to say: "Okay, Shopkeeper Ji, how about we have a few drinks together?" ”

Ji Changan said: "Then let's go upstairs to the elegant seat together." So the three of them went upstairs to find a private room and sat down, it was secluded, few people came, and the scenery was not bad in the distance.
