Huang Shi really believes that these three people are really carrying a heavy treasure now, and this mirror actually fell to the ground and did not break, which is simply incredible. You must know that those Maidno people transported mirrors, glass, and other items to this martial country, and I don't know how many things were damaged along the way, and I heard that the complete goods when they finally came ashore were only one-twelfth of them.

The boiling water was quickly delivered, and the maid poured the boiling water directly into the glass in front of everyone. Sure enough, despite the hot wall, the glass was not damaged in the slightest.

"The samples of all the maritime merchants are all good things, I don't know how much these samples are worth?"

"I've just arrived, and I don't know the market here," Du Yande said with a smile, "and ask Master Huang for guidance." ”

Huang Shi knew that this was to set his own price, and couldn't help but make some difficulties, at this time his own stockade was still surrounded, although these samples were not big, but the value was quite high, if the current pricing was set high, he would definitely suffer, if it was set low, these maritime merchants were afraid that they would turn around and leave.

"These can be described as strange goods, I Huangshi is afraid that I can't price it at this time, I don't know if the three can believe it, whether they can send these samples to me first, and wait until a few days later after my Huangjiazhai breaks through the siege before they can get the valuation in Mingzhou City. I wonder if the three distinguished guests can be trusted? ”

Du Yande nodded and said, "This is no problem, but I don't know what the situation of the fence is now?" ”

Huang Shi was stunned, didn't you just come to my backyard through the encirclement? Why don't you know yet? But he didn't say anything, there was a sense of mystery everywhere in these three people, except for their appearance, whether they were talking or acting, they were completely different from the Wuguo people he had seen, and they were also completely different from the Maidno and Yaning people who often traveled by sea. Since I can't guess where these maritime merchants came from, I might as well ask carefully. Thinking of this, he arched his hand at Du Yande and said, "Since the three distinguished guests came from overseas, I don't know what to call the country name?" ”

"This," Du Yande was stunned, his eyes glanced boredly at the fake Chanel perfume on the small coffee table, the packaging box of this three-nil product was full of English, he thought for a while, and replied: "When our ancestors landed, they saw the beautiful mountains and rivers of the new country, and it was specially named the United States. ”

"Then this American maritime merchant should have been adrift at sea for many years, why has he only come to the military country so far?" Master Huang kept asking questions like a curious baby.

"Oh, this," Du Yande couldn't help but stutter, and Sun Wenbin on the side hurriedly clasped his hands into fists and asked, "I don't know what era name it is at this time?" ”

"It's now the fifth month of the eighth year of the Great Martial Apocalypse," Huang Shi was interrupted by Sun Wenbin as soon as he finished speaking, "Could it be that the emperor is surnamed Zhu?" Sun Wenbin has read a lot of travel books, and he is particularly familiar with the name of Apocalypse, so he blurted out.

"Yes," Master Huang gently twisted his beard and nodded, "It has been more than two hundred years since the founding of Emperor Taizu in my Great Martial Kingdom. ”

The three of them looked at each other, and they all felt that their heads were a little insufficient. The Emperor of the Apocalypse is named Zhu Youxiao, after ascending the throne, because the Donglin Party controls the government, he often works against the emperor, and he is angry and does not go to the court for many years, and would rather hide in the inner palace to do carpentry, and is a famous carpenter emperor in history. During the years when he was obsessed with carpenters, Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch of Bingbi, gradually began to control the government, prop up his henchmen, and let Dongchang go around to fight all forces that opposed him.

However, in July of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao's boat capsized and fell into the water when he was playing in the lake, although he was rescued ashore, he was seriously ill and hung up within a few months, but at this time it was the eighth year of the Apocalypse. This made the three of them unable to understand how the Emperor of the Apocalypse had dodged this fatal blow.

Master Huang continued to talk about the situation of the Wu Dynasty, and the three of them stopped talking, but listened attentively, for fear of missing a word.

There is a country called the Principality of Yakir in the north, the population of the country is at least more than 250,000 people, the people of this country are brave and aggressive, often go south to invade the Wu Dynasty, plunder the border people of the Wu Dynasty, if it were not for the Linghe River on the border of the desert, I am afraid that the cavalry of the Principality of Yakir would have plundered to the capital long ago. The capital is also called Beijing, and in a place close to the desert in the north for 150 miles, just like the Ming Dynasty propagated that "the Son of Heaven guards the country", the capital here is to make the posture of the emperor personally guarding the northern frontier, in order to show that the Wu Dynasty and the opposition will not compromise on foreign aggression. However, in recent years, a tribe called Clovhan has emerged in the south of Annam, and the herding tribes on the large island in the south have unified the herding tribes on the large island in the south, and now they are actively expanding to the north. Around February of the beginning of the year, there was an elite cavalry of Yagil in the upper reaches of the desert in the north to break through the Linghe River, forcibly crossed the Linghe River with 5,000 people, burned and looted all the way, and once burned the war to the city of Beijing, took away a large number of Wu Dynasty people back as slaves, and in order to demonstrate to the Wu Dynasty, specially slaughtered 5,000 Wu army prisoners under the Beijing city wall. The walls built along the river were now in dilapidated places, and Yagil's spies could often sneak in through the cracks in the walls and wreak havoc on the territory north of the Wu Dynasty. If it weren't for the fact that the Wu Dynasty still had firearms that neither Virgil nor Clovhan could master, I am afraid that the Wu Dynasty would have been defeated at this time. In order to prevent pirates from attacking, the Wu Dynasty has banned the sea for more than 100 years, and Master Huang and others have made a fortune by making a lot of profits by selling smuggled goods abroad.

Forty miles southwest of Huangjiazhai is the Mingzhou City of the Wu Dynasty, Mingzhou City is like the status of Guangzhou City at the same time on the earth, the Meideno people leased a piece of land from the sea more than 100 miles southeast of Mingzhou City, named Chenxing City, and the Meideno people have the right to directly enter the Mingzhou City for trade, the various tooth shops in the city especially like to trade with these Meideno people, they want everything, a large number of raw silk, tea, porcelain, sugar and other products are continuously transported by them every year, and at the same time they bring a variety of small commodities produced in Yaning. Ships from other countries could only anchor in Morningstar and wait for the Medenor to measure and collect taxes before they could sell their goods.

"Isn't this Macau?" The three of them exchanged ears.

Du Yande looked up at the sky, it was already bright, and hurriedly arched his hand at Master Huang and said, "Master Huang, I'm going to leave now." ”

"Say goodbye now? It's not dawn yet, huh? Yang Minghuan couldn't help but feel a little strange, and quietly pulled the corner of Laduyande's clothes.

"Are you stupid?" Du Yande whispered to him, "It's time to go to work, I don't want to be late." ”

"Oh," Yang Minghuan hurriedly raised his hand and looked at his watch, and sure enough, it was almost five o'clock.

Master Huang was stunned, "What is this?" He pointed to the watch on Yang Minghuan's right hand.

"Watches, used to keep time." Du Yande hurriedly introduced, "This thing is for ships on the sea. ”

Although Master Huang does not go to sea, he is quite familiar with the instruments used in sea sailing, and he has heard most of these things, but when has he ever heard of watches? He also knows a lot about timekeeping, what sundial hourglass or something, when did a watch appear?

Curious, he hurriedly came up, Yang Minghuan smiled, took off the watch and handed it over.

Huang Shi took the watch and was stunned, this watch also has a plate, at first glance it looks like a sundial, the edge of the dial is densely painted with scales, and three hands of different lengths and thicknesses can be seen on it.

Yang Minghuan knew that he didn't understand this, so he stepped forward and explained to him: "The short hand refers to the hour, the long hand refers to the minute, and the thin hand refers to the number of seconds, sixty seconds and one minute, and sixty minutes and one hour. ”

Master Huang quickly figured out that there were twelve hours a day on the sundial, and it was twenty-four hours on this watch. "It's really a good thing," although Master Huang didn't know what the benefits of grasping the accurate time were, he often heard his subordinates complain that every time they measured the needle road at sea, they always had to estimate the time first, and if they didn't dock, it would be easy to miscalculate, and there would be an incident like a trek, if there was such a thing, it would not be so easy to have a trek accident.

Yang Minghuan nodded, and was about to take the watch from Master Huang's hand, when Master Huang suddenly asked pleadingly, "I wonder if Mr. Yang can cut love?" His eyes glanced at Sun Wenbin on the side, who was also wearing one such watch. I will give two hundred taels of silver in exchange. ”

The three of them couldn't help but glance at each other again, no one had an idea of how much two hundred taels of silver was, and Yang Minghuan spent more than three hundred yuan to buy this watch at that time, and he was quite hesitant for a while, not knowing how to answer.

"And how about two hundred and fifty taels?" Master Huang didn't know that the two hundred and five were famous in another time and space, and in the blink of an eye, he offered this price full of lethality.

Du Yande laughed sullenly, almost couldn't hold back, and quickly nodded in response. Yang Minghuan was reluctant, but since Du Yande had already nodded, he couldn't say more, so he nodded and agreed.

The so-called "strange goods" that the three of them had taken out before had not been able to sell for the time being, but the watch was bought for two hundred and fifty taels of silver. Without saying a word, Du Yande took the silver and handed it to Yang Minghuan, but Yang Minghuan took it but almost threw it on the ground, which was ten kilograms. He hurriedly handed the silver back to Du Yande, "Brother De, I don't have a place to put it, can you help me carry it first?" ”

What made Yellowstone feel very strange was that the three guys refused to go out through the main entrance, but turned to the backyard. I also want to let the family members leave and not let them see. Huang Shi was naturally full of suspicion, and called the usually clever guy to look at it from afar, only to see that the three of them turned around in the backyard and suddenly turned the corner of the wall and disappeared, and when the little guy stepped forward to look, it was gone.

After receiving the report, Master Huang couldn't help but look up, the sky was still bright at this time, and the three "maritime merchants" came and went without a trace, which made him quite surprised, and asked his subordinates to kill a dog and pour dog blood on these samples to see if there would be changes when it dawned.
