"I've heard for a long time that Dongying people cast knives, and I'm a good Song Song, but this time it's okay!" Lotte smiled.

The wine and food were all in the room, and the sister-in-law Li Liang also came, and the two did not see each other for a long time, and sat next to Lotte's left and right hands.

I haven't seen it for more than a year, in addition to talking about it, it's more about Dongying's gold and silver production, although it's not bad for money, but Lotte still can't help but have the appearance of seeing money, after all, Dongying's gold and silver reserves are so large that anyone can make their hearts beat faster and their blood pressure rises.

Half-drunk, Lotte squinted his eyebrows after contemplating for a while: "Recruit more soldiers and horses, and try to buy the mineral veins in Echigo, Imagawa, Izu, Bungo, Hida, Kai and other places, if you can't buy it, you will grab it, and we must control these resources in our hands!" ”

"What Master Hou said is true!" Tong Lan also became more and more excited the more he drank, and the more excited he became when he mentioned the gold mine, "Thanks to Hou Ye as a matchmaker, the little one climbed the high branch of Hou Ye......"

"What a word!" Lotte waved his hand and said: "In private, you call me, just like I call Li Dutou, and call my sister-in-law." ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Tong Lan hurriedly said, and then said: "After a year of marriage, my family has added a big fat and small, and in a few months, the second family will be born, Dongying has so much gold and silver, we can't use it, but our children and grandchildren also need to use it, this vein has to be in our hands." ”

Li Liang, Tong Lan, Zhang Biao and others all have shares in the silver mine, even if it is only a few tenths of a percent, there are more than 10,000 taels of silver a year, how can they not sell their lives, and the bigger the operation, the more the dividends are raised, and the human desire for gold and silver can never be satisfied, how can there be the idea of stopping.

In the middle of the night, the three of them drank until they were hearty before they dispersed.

……

"Unless summoned by His Majesty, ordinary people are not allowed to enter the palace, and the master of the horse should wait until he gets His Majesty's edict before entering the palace!"

Originally, I thought that it would be easy for me to enter the palace, but I didn't expect to go outside the Donghua Gate, and asked the soldiers guarding outside the Donghua Gate to pass through, and soon after I was scolded back by Xiaohuangmen.

Hearing this, Lotte raised his eyebrows, suppressed his temperament, arched his hand, changed his smile and said: "Le has something to see Your Majesty, and I bother this noble person to report to the palace!" ”

The little yellow doorman said with a smile: "Hou Ye is not at the beginning, Hou Ye was an important minister of the court, and now although Hou Ye is still Hou Ye, he still has the identity of Ma Ye, no longer Dali Siqing, according to the rules of the palace, if it is not summoned by His Majesty's decree, the emperor's relatives are not allowed to enter the palace at will." ”

Shakuchi next to him saw that a little eunuch dared to disobey Lotte, and he couldn't help but be angry: "The little nobleman's words like this, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate!" ”

A long-term follower dared to reprimand himself, and the little eunuch was furious and reprimanded: "How can you speak here, get out of the way!" ”

After speaking, he glanced at it, snorted softly, and was about to go to the palace.

"Chop!" Seeing that this little yellow door was so arrogant, Lotte couldn't help but scold, and before the little eunuch could take two steps, he struck the little yellow door, and hit the little yellow door with a muffled sound.

I saw that the little yellow door was slashed by Lotte's palm, and the inner servant's gauze hat on the hood of his head fell to the ground, and his hair was half scattered.

I didn't expect Lotte to make a move, and the little yellow door was also stunned, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at Lotte and said angrily in a tone that was neither male nor female: "You...... You...... How dare you hit our house! ”

"What about beating you up with something that doesn't grow eggs!" Seeing that the little yellow door stretched out his hand and pointed at himself, Lotte was furious again, one hand slashed over and pulled the hair of the little yellow door, and the other hand opened the bow left and right and slapped it indiscriminately, and scolded at the same time: "What about beating you, a dog-like person dares to show off his might in front of me......"

The guards guarding the Donghua Gate were also at a loss when they saw this scene, they didn't expect that although this Le Hou Ye was born and made a horse would be so powerful, he wanted to go to stop it, but he didn't dare, he was the son-in-law of the Son of Heaven, he had led the soldiers to fight and destroyed the Western Xia, and he was a person from half of the Heavenly Family, and he was a slave of the Son of Heaven's family.

Thinking about it again, it seems that I have heard that Hou Ye Le also beat Yang Jian in the Vertical Arch Palace, which is one of the three major seats in the Inner Palace, not only was he knocked down and beaten by Lotte, but he was also hit in the head by Lotte with a guillotine, and now this little eunuch can only blame him for not having long eyes and provoking the most difficult person to mess with.

"Good ......" was slapped by Lotte, and the eyes of the beating were full of stars, and the little eunuch was bleeding from his mouth and nose, until Lotte stopped, stretched out his hand and wiped the blood, looked at Lotte hatefully, and shouted: "Lotte, you wait, our family has to go to Your Majesty to sue you and beat the slave of the Son of Heaven......"

Seeing that someone was beating the little eunuch, many officials and pedestrians who passed by the Donghua Gate gathered one after another, and when they saw that the person who beat them was Lotte, they immediately started to talk about it.

"There is no egg to play, An dares to perfunctory slander my Hou Ye and beg for a beating!" Seeing that the little eunuch continued to shout, Wu Song and Yang Zhi were so angry that they grabbed them and wanted to beat them.

"Stand down, it's none of your business!" Seeing that Wu Song and Yang Zhi wanted to make a move, Lotte reprimanded, and said in front of a group of officials and people: "Le Mou is now a concubine and has no authority, and even entering the palace to face the saint will be restricted by the eunuchs, and even more bullied by the eunuchs, but this eunuch is the slave of the Son of Heaven, and he can't wait for you to do it, if he does, he will also come to Le!" ”

I don't know what happened before, but hearing Lotte say this, many officials and people began to make up for it on their own, and nine out of ten I am afraid that this little eunuch is hindering Lotte from entering the palace to face the saint, and he has angered this Le Hou Ye from doing a stalk.

Joke, Marquis Le is the emperor's son-in-law, how can he embarrass a little eunuch, everyone thinks so.

Seeing that the guards next to him just watched the excitement and did not report to the palace, the little eunuch couldn't help but be furious, and pointed at the guards and scolded angrily: "What are you fools looking at here, don't go to the palace to report, Lord Le Hou ignores the prestige of the heavenly family and beats the slaves of the Son of Heaven......"

Seeing the arrogant appearance of this little yellow door, some onlookers began to shout: "Good ...... fight"

Hearing the applause of the people, the little yellow door was startled, for fear of being beaten again, and hurriedly rushed to the big ban to complain.

……

"I heard that you beat the palace attendant?"

In the imperial study, Zhao Ji glanced at Lotte standing in front of him and asked.

"The minister knows the guilt" Lotte hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to enter the palace to consult books, but he doesn't want to be blocked by Xiao Huangmen, and he is even more ridiculed by Xiao Huangmen's words, so he can't bear to shoot angrily. ”

Shaking his head, Zhao Ji sighed and said: "I know that you now have no position and no power except for the title of a marquis of Pingyu and the false title of the captain of the horse, and you are very angry, but you must take care of Si, but also take into account the face of the heavenly family, you must not have this indecent behavior again, otherwise I will not be able to exonerate you, and I must severely punish you." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your innocence!" Lotte gave a gift, and then said: "The minister is the son-in-law of the emperor of the heavenly family, but when he enters the palace, he will be ridiculed by the slaves and maids of the palace, and the minister is not angry. ”

"The slave who doesn't know the rules has been sent out of the palace by me, don't worry about it!" Zhao Ji waved his hand and signaled Lotte not to say much, and it was a little better: "Why did you enter the palace today?" ”

Lotte said bluntly: "Listening to the rich collection of books in the palace of Emperor Maode, the minister wants to refer to the palace collection!" ”

"I'm right, doing scholarship is the right thing!" Zhao Ji waved his hand: "You go and see, take out the palace to copy the endless reading, remember to return it!" ”

Thanks to him, under the guidance of the little eunuch, Lotte came to the place where the palace was forbidden to store books.

Knowing that Lotte had beaten a small yellow door again, the little eunuchs were very respectful when they saw Lotte.

The eunuch in charge of the forbidden book collection in the palace saw Lotte giving a salute again and again, and said, "I don't know what book the Hou Ye wants to please?" Hou Ye commanded, and the little one went to find Hou Ye? ”

Lotte nodded and said, "If there are books about iron smelting, take them all with Le!" ”

I don't know what Lotte wants to do with the ancient books of steel, and the eunuch who is in charge of the forbidden books in the official palace didn't dare to ask more, so he hurriedly went to find it.

After tossing back and forth for an hour, I saw a group of small attendants in the library crawling down and panting tiredly, and moved down the collection of books one by one.

Lotte is very clear, the collection of books in Ouchi is different from the books outside, the collection of books in Ouchi are thousands of selected products, either rare solitary bodies in the world, or the most accurate original, since not those hand-copied outside, so that the typos and errors continue to be the books can be compared, to the greatest extent to restore the most authentic records.

After a general look, there are more than 100 books picked out by the little eunuchs.

At this moment, I saw that the inner servant who managed the collection of books worked hard to write straight, proofreading these more than 100 books one by one, and writing them on a piece of paper.

After receiving the pen, the supervisor showed a smile and said: "Hou Ye, you are the first person to come to Da Nei to borrow books since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, and please sign the name of Hou Ye, first, I will wait to explain to Your Majesty, and second, Hou Ye will return the books according to the name of this side!" ”

His eyes fell on the note, only to see a string of sentences, and then look at the handwriting, Lotte couldn't help but sigh: "The noble man wrote a good hand, I'm afraid that the top three jinshi of this dynasty will sigh to themselves when they see it!" ”

"Master Hou said he was laughing!" The eunuch hurriedly humbled himself, "The palace guards are idle in books, and I copied two strokes when I was bored, but I was smiling and generous, and I hope that the Hou Ye will not laugh." ”

"A person who reads is a person who does not read has a temperament, and he is even more elegant!" Lotte chuckled and began to look at the list of books on the paper.

A series of dense titles jumped on the paper, impressively written "Zuo Chuan", "Guanzi", "Wu Yue Chunqiu", "Book of Jin", "Northern Qi Shu Fang Ji Lie Biography", Zhuge Liang "Zuogang Armor Teaching", Western Jin Dynasty Fu Xuan "Zhengdu Fu", "Quanhou Han" Volume 91 Wang Cang's "Sword Ming", Jin Zhang Xie's "Seven Lives", Zhang Junfang's "Yun Ji Seven Signatures", Su Song's "Tujing Materia Medica", Shen Kuo's "Mengxi Bi Tan", Chen Lin's "Arsenal Fu" and other books, and a total of 131 volumes are written more clearly.

Eyes once again stared at the titles of the few books written by Gui Chu on the paper, and Lotte exclaimed: ""Zuo Chuan", "Guanzi", "Wu Yue Chunqiu" These books also have the art of iron smelting? ”

I only heard the attendant in charge of the forbidden books in the palace replied: "Hou Ye, this "Zuo Chuan", "Guanzi", and "Book of Jin" books really record the art of iron smelting, and the "Zuo Chuan" has clouds, and in the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhao Ying, a native of the Jin Kingdom, led the army to Rubin, where he collected pig iron, cast a criminal tripod, and cast Fan Xuanzi's criminal book. Although the book "Guanzi" was written by later generations under the name of Guan Zhong, and the book was written later, the content during it was taken from the archives of the Spring and Autumn Qi State Government, and it was even said: "All the famous mountains in the world are 5,371,...... Nine out of three thousand six hundred in the mountain of steel'.

The "Spring and Autumn Period of Wu Yue" written by Zhao Ye of the Eastern Han Dynasty said: In the Spring and Autumn Period, King Wu ordered craftsmen to 'pick the iron essence of the five mountains' to drum and smelt and forge swords, and with the assistance of his wife Mo Ye, he finally refined two sharp famous swords. Hou Ye wants to refer to the skills of iron smelting, and these records are worth referring to. ”
