Coming out of the royal city, the son was invited to return home with the child.

The streets of the inner city are paved with stone pavement, and the wheels are all made of wood and covered with bronze hoops. Although the seats are padded with thick fur, the bumps are also uncomfortable.

Ziqi leaned back on the carriage.

Zishou looked at him and smiled lazily, "Ziqi, sometimes I really can't understand you!" ”

"What's the matter, Brother Three Kings?" He asked, still leaning back in the carriage.

Zishou thought for a while, "Sometimes when I look at you, I always look like I don't care about anything, but when I look at people and things, I can always say the key thing in one sentence; Sometimes the courage is small, and sometimes the courage is surprisingly big. Let's just talk about today's Taizhu incident, I don't think the Manchu Dynasty civil and military can do it. ”

Ziqi pouted, "It's light to beat him, if he dares to bewitch the king again and let Ziying marry that foreign monkey, I will kill him!" ”

Zishou smiled, "Don't underestimate those people, bring some followers in and out." When you first entered the court, your foundation is still shallow, don't be plotted by them.

They are in Chaoge City, and there are countless minions that they raise.

By the way, all the thirty sergeants you trained will stay in the mansion. In addition, those people in Chifeng Village also stayed to defend your Haocheng Hou Mansion. Find time to talk to your father, don't leave a handle for those people in the court. ”

Ziqi nodded, "Thank you, Brother Sanwang!" ”

Zishou waved his hand, "Between you and my brothers, what else do you want to be polite?" However, when you say Taizhu, I am very happy! The brothers looked at each other and smiled.

Ziqi got out of the car in front of the house.

Zishou asked with a smile in the car, "So anxious to go home?" Do you want to sit in the house? ”

Ziqi shook his head, "Brother Sanwang, there are too many things in my house, wait a few days, and I will go to see Sister-in-law Wang and Father Lu!" ”

Zishou is also an extremely intelligent person, and he knows the meaning of his words. I secretly admire that although the child is young, he considers things carefully and thoughtfully.

As soon as Ziqi entered the courtyard, he saw Li Jiao commanding the soldiers to carry bamboo poles, and the yard was full of piles. His eyes widened, "So many? ”

Li Jiao smiled honestly: "Didn't you say that the more the better, we found a bamboo forest in the suburbs, except for the ones that were too small, they were all cut back." ”

Ziqi nodded, "It's okay, it's once and for all, it's enough for more than half a year." Let the brothers do it according to the size I taught you, and try to make it all before I go to Xiqi. ”

Li Jiao agreed: "Second brother, don't worry, these brothers eat and drink enough every day, and they have endless energy, doing this is like playing!" ”

The child was a lazy person in his previous life, it was okay to eat, drink and have fun, and don't expect to do it yourself.

He simply taught Li Jiao the method of punching, and taught Xia Nong the method of making brushes and arranging bamboo slips, and asked her to take the hired girl to do it, and Xia Nong was so excited that he didn't touch the ground when he had something to do.

He divided everything that needed to be done, and went back to his bedroom to lie down on the bed and think about his thoughts. Xiannong looked at him and smiled while cleaning up the bedroom, and Ziqi asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Because the son expects people to be generous, the whole house has no fear. What's more, the two of them have already had a few skin relatives, and they didn't treat their sisters as slaves at all, and Xiannong was a lot more casual.

She walked to the side of the bed gracefully, sat down next to Ziqi and said, "Everyone else is busy, you lie on the bed in the middle of the day, you are really lazy!" ”

Ziqi grabbed her hand and said with a serious face: "What do you know? This is called the gentleman's labor, the villain's labor, I am more tired than you, and what I am tired of is the heart. ”

Xiannon pulled out his hand and pressed it to his chest and said, "Why don't I see that you are tired?" ”

Ziqi smiled evilly, "It's through the clothes here, how can you tell it, I stripped naked at night to show you." ”

If it were Shannon's temperament, seeing him so shameless, he would have been shy a long time ago. Xiannong had a pungent temperament, so he didn't care about him, and said with affectionate eyes: "Why wait for the evening, I'll look at it now!" ”

After speaking, he put his hand in his clothes, which made Ziqi a little embarrassed, "Don't mess around, they are all in the yard." ”

Xian Nong put his face to Zi Qi's ear and whispered, "What are you afraid of, they are all busy, no one cares about the house." After speaking, the enthusiasm pounced on the sub-period, and the two of them warmed up.

At this moment, Fei Xian ran in and was startled when he saw two people. Hurriedly turned around and shouted, "You two still want to be shameless?" ”

Xiannon hurriedly stood up from Ziji's body.

Fei Xian glared at Xian Nong, "Yishu let me tell you, the wolf tail is running out!" After saying that, he ran away in a huff. Ziqi hurriedly sat up and asked, "Use it so fast?" ”

Xian Nong saw Fei Xian run away, sat back on the edge of the bed, leaned on him and said, "Just those dozen or so can you afford to use them?" Look there! ”

After speaking, he pointed to the table and the table.

Only then did the child notice that two hills had been piled up in the house.

Ziqi thought for a while, "You put these things away, these wolves can't be sold first, you get what you pay for, these valuable ones have to be sold at a high price, and you have to make gifts for some dignitaries, you go and call Uncle Wu over!" ”

Xiannong responded and ran out briskly, and after a while brought the witch capital over.

Ziqi hurriedly stood up and said, "Uncle Wu, you put the others aside in advance, and go to the market to find a few merchants who sell sheep, we don't buy live sheep, only wool."

You negotiate the price with them, and we want it for a long time. If the negotiation is completed, let them send it directly to the house on a regular basis. ”

Wu Du agreed, turned around and went busily.

Ziqi pulled Xiannong and instructed: "Uncle Wu is not young, just let him take care of the affairs of the outer house, and the affairs of the back house will be handed over to you, how dedicated you are!" ”

Xian Nong said affectionately: "Your Highness, rest assured, Xian Nong will definitely give His Highness a good look at this family." ”

Ziqi nodded, "Go and get me a piece of white linen." After speaking, he walked to the front of the bar and knelt on the seat, unconsciously, he had fully adapted to the customs of this era.

Xiannong handed him the sackcloth, spread the sackcloth on the long table, and picked up the wolf's pen for a long time. Seeing that he was thinking with one hand on his cheek, Xiannon didn't bother him anymore, quietly exited the inner room, and closed the door.

In imitation of his own Jungle King saber, he first drew a dagger, with a double-sided blood groove and a serrated back. He looked at it repeatedly, and felt that he could still see it clearly, so he made various symbols next to it, and only he understood what it was. Subsequently, he carefully painted on linen cloth in the shape of a stirrup in later generations.

At this time, Yin Shang already had saddles, horse chew rings, and bridles, but stirrups were missing. Although this harness may seem inconspicuous, it took millennia to appear.

It frees the knight's hands and makes it easier to steer the horse. The sub-period gritted its teeth, anyway, it also crossed over, so why not push it onto the stage of history in advance.

After the battle between Black Wind Village and Tiger Wolf Hu, he found many shortcomings of the Flying Tigers, and it was better to make up for them in terms of weaponry.

In the end, he drew nine rings on linen according to his memories of the afterlife. promised the little princess, he didn't dare not do it, he couldn't afford that little girl.

When the dye dried, he folded up the sackcloth and carried it in his arms. I brought two rolls of bamboo slips and two wolf hairs.

Today, above the royal court, the courtiers stared at the bamboo slips in Shang Rong's hand, and the kind of envious and greedy eyes made him forget it for the rest of his life, like a hungry wolf who was hungry and thirsty. It seems that the old businessman, the spokesperson of free advertising, still has to be done.

Zi Ji brought two pieces of fine jade in his arms, and ran into Fei Xian when he went out.

Fei Xian's eyes looked like he was about to eat people, and he glared at him viciously. Ziqi smiled harmlessly at her and walked straight out of the Hou Mansion.

He came to Shang Rong's mansion, and this time it was rare for Shang Rong to be at home. Shang Rong let the sub-period go to the main hall, and the sub-period gave him the bamboo slip wolf and said: "Lord Shang, this is given to the adult by the junior, can the adult feel comfortable after using it?" ”

Shang Rong immediately smiled when he saw it, "Okay, very good, thank you Your Highness for being kind to the old man." ”

Ziqi looked at Shang Rong with clear eyes and said: "My lord is too polite, my lord shares the worries of the royal court and is dutiful. With this bamboo slip, it is much more convenient, which is a little bit of the sub-period's mind. ”

Integrating the hand-stroked bamboo slip is like a treasure, "Ziji, how did you come up with the idea of making such an extraordinary thing?" ”

Ziqi didn't dare to talk nonsense to Shang Rong, so he hurriedly made up and said, "My lord, this is also a coincidence. There was a harsh winter hunt, and after the heavy snow closed the mountain, the snow was knee-thick.

I met a pack of wolves, whose tails were all held on the snow, scratching snow marks. I had an occasional inspiration, so I came up with the method of bamboo slips. ”

"Ziqi, you are so hateful, how did you tell me last time?" Shang Qingjun lifted the curtain and walked out of the inner room and asked. It turned out that she heard the voice of Ziqi talking and immediately came over.

She didn't think why she was suddenly curious about him. There is always a powerful force in the sub-period that attracts her and makes her flock to her.

Ziqi hurriedly stood up, "Miss Qingjun, that's just a joke, don't mind, girl." ”

Shang Qingjun continued to reprimand him and said: "It's rare to see you serious once, and next time you are not allowed to talk nonsense." Although his mouth is unforgiving, his eyes are full of smiles.

After letting Ziqi sit down, he asked, "Why does Your Highness have free time to come to the mansion today?" ”

Ziqi smiled embarrassedly, "This time, there is still something to trouble Lord Shang, the Lord is in charge of the copper work, and the juniors have to beg for mercy again and again." ”

Although Zishou watched Shang Qingjun speak, his eyes kept staring at Shang Rong.

Shang Rong waved his hand, "Your Highness is polite to the old man, just say something, I'm about to go out for a walk, I don't know what you're going to do?" ”

Ziqi hurriedly took out the sketch drawn by the burlap from his bosom and laid it on the desk.

Shang Rong squinted and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see the reason. Shang Qingjun saw it, and asked Ziqi with a smile, "This is another monster you made up?" Did Grandma Yamagami teach you again? ”

Zi Qi hurriedly explained: "Miss Qingjun, don't make fun of me, this is an object that I designed after I came back from the expedition and pondered for many days!" ”

Shang Rong pointed to the first picture and asked, "What is this?" ”

Ziqi hurriedly replied: "This is a military dagger!" ”

Shang Rong looked at it for a long time and asked, "Since it's a short knife, why did it change to look like this?" ”

Ziqi finger said on the picture: "The notches on both sides of the blade can speed up the enemy's death time, and the back of the knife has been changed to a toothed shape, which can increase the wound, and it can also cut hard objects during field marches." ”

Shang Rong pointed to the second picture and asked, "What about this?" ”

Ziqi explained: "This is a stirrup, and it was also in this Northern Expedition that it was found that it was too inconvenient for soldiers to ride horses, and with this, it was much more convenient for soldiers to step on their feet in it, and it was convenient to control the horses, even if they stood up on horseback, they didn't have to tie their hands, which was very convenient." ”

Shang Rong narrowed his dim eyes and looked at Ziqi's face suspiciously, "It really works?" ”

Ziqi nodded confidently, and secretly exclaimed in his heart, "You know an eggplant? It has been used for thousands of years in later generations. ”

Shang Qingjun pointed to the two rings and said, "I know these two are rings." ”

Ziqi shook his head with a smile and said: "This one is a bronze wrench, which the archer wears on his thumb when shooting arrows to avoid cutting his fingers with the arrow; This one is a copper buckle, which can hang the water bladder on the waist for easy carrying and picking. ”

Shang Qingjun looked at him in confusion, and let out a breath for a long time, "Then what is this?" ”

Ziqi smiled embarrassedly: "This is the nine rings I made for Ziying, the little princess is too grinding." With this, she can't play enough for a year, and there are many ways to play, which is beneficial to her mind and can also exercise her finger dexterity. ”

Shang Qingjun's eyes lit up, "Can you give me a pair?" ”

The child pretended not to hear it.

Shang Qingjun said a little sourly: "If you don't give it, forget it, it's not specially done for me!" ”

Ziqi hurriedly smiled and said: "Then the troublesome girl do me a favor, help me mark the size and quantity, and give you a pair is just a craftsman to do more!" ”

Shang Qingjun wanted to be sarcastic, but when he saw that his father was still concentrating on the sketch, he swallowed his words back, glared at her fiercely, and went to get the brush.

After marking them one by one according to the description of the sub-period, he looked up and asked, "Is that so?" ”

Ziqi nodded, "That's it, it's okay." ”

Shang Rong looked at it for a long time, pointed to the sketch and asked, "Are these really what you came up with?" ”

He smiled and nodded when he saw the sub-period, twisted his silver beard and said: "It is said in the royal court that Bigan has a superior mind, and I can't see half of the sub-period!" Shang Qingjun listened and glanced at Ziqi deeply, his face was slightly red, and his heart was full of admiration.

Shang Rong waited until the handwriting was dry, immediately picked up the picture, stuffed it into the cuff and said, "I'll go to the workshop!" ”

Ziqi hurriedly stopped, took out a jade pendant from his arms, handed it to Shang Rong and said, "This should be the price for the workshop, and the last one has not been paid!"

Shang Rong took the jade pendant and hurriedly asked the servants to prepare the carriage and horses.

Ziqi sat down, "Miss Qingjun, I've been talking about this for a long time, my throat is smoking, and I'll give you a bowl of water to drink!" ”

Shang Qingjun sat where he was and didn't move, "Now you ask me?" When you asked you for nine links just now, what did you do to me? I want to drink water and say something nice. ”

Ziqi's face is not ordinarily thick, and he immediately said with a flamboyant mouth: "The nine links were originally made for Ziying, and the other was left for my future wife, isn't it okay to give it to you?" ”

Shang Qingjun's face flushed and spat him, "Who is rare about you?" ”

Ziqi smiled, "Good sister, hurry up, I'm really going to die of thirst." ”

Shang Qingjun's face turned even redder, glanced at him, got up and boiled him tea, and then handed it to him across a few strips.

Ziqi was really thirsty, but the tea was too hot to eat, so he had to hold it in his hand and ask, "Sister Qingjun, have you seen that shop?" ”

Shang Qingjun picked up the bamboo slip, didn't dare to look directly at the sub-period, and whispered: "I've seen it, it's good." ”

Ziqi hurriedly said: "Then let's open tomorrow, if you can't be busy, I'll ask Fei Xian and Yishu to help you." ”

Qingjun nodded, "How much do bamboo slips and brushes cost to sell?" ”

Ziqi didn't even think about it and blurted out: "50 punbei brushes, 30 punbei bamboo slips." ”

Shang Qingjun's jaw almost dropped, "It's so expensive, can you sell it?" ”

Only then did he take a sip of tea, "The expensive food is a little expensive, but those princes and ministers and noble priests have more Qian Bei, and their Qian Bei is easy to come." ”

Shang Qingjun was speechless, "It's a little more expensive?" It's enough for civilians to spend half a lifetime. ”

Ziqi smiled deeply, "Don't worry, you will definitely be able to sell." Didn't you see it, the last time Lord Shang was holding a bamboo slip on the palace of the royal court, those people were almost envious to death, and their eyes were about to eat people. Those of them don't care about money, they care about identity and face.

If we don't make a lot of money now, within a month, there will be a few or more shops like us in the inner city market. At that time, this bamboo slip was not worth much, and what we sold was not bamboo slips, but patents and technologies. ”

"What are patents and technologies?" Shang Qingjun looked ignorant.

Zi Qi almost squirted out a sip of tea, and he killed himself, pretending to only care about drinking tea.

Shang Qingjun picked up the bamboo slip and said, "If only after using it, the words on it could be erased." I've tried, and the paint won't come off at all. ”

Ziqi said confidently: "I have already thought that I can use pine branch smoke to get smoke stains, and mix bone glue and lard to make ink." ”

Although he did not have a very good grasp of the ink-making process in later generations, he often heard his grandfather talk about the ink-making process, although he could not make high-quality ink, but he was sure to meet the needs.

Shang Qingjun asked puzzledly, "Then why don't you make it now?" ”

Ziqi said treacherously: "Now is not the time, when there are more shops selling bamboo slips in the market, the price will naturally fall." When the time comes, we will make ink again, but others will not be able to do it, and it is not the same to buy our goods. ”

Shang Qingjun said to himself: "Your Highness, how many hundred eyes do you have? ”

[Tsing Yi says in this chapter]

The history of the ring can be traced back to the Neolithic period.

Decorative rings have been found in the tombs of the Longshan cultural site, and copper rings have also been unearthed in the Qijia cultural site in Gansu.

"The Essentials of the Five Classics": "The concubines of the ancients were courtesy. The women's history book says that it is given a ring to advance and retreat. If there is a pregnancy, it shall be withdrawn with a gold ring, and it shall be entered with a silver ring."

It means: "The first to wear rings were worn by the king's concubines, who used the ring to represent "taboo", and when they were pregnant or could not approach the king due to other circumstances, they all put a gold ring on their left hand to show their abstinence, and usually used a silver ring on their right hand. ”
