Chapter 7: Stand Firm (2)

Although Yixian County is located in the south of Yan Kingdom, it may be that the Taihang Mountains in this world are not very extensive and do not withstand the cold current in the north. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info just entered November, and a heavy snowfall quietly wrapped the earth in silver.

The cold wind howled, blowing down the snow from the branches, and several people in Yihou's mansion shrunk their necks and hurriedly carried an iron bucket-like object to Yihou's study, and there were two servants behind him holding a large pipe that was heavy, but it was a large bamboo pipe with iron on its head.

Yihou held the stove in the study and read for a while, but his hands and feet were still cold and his fingers could not be bent and stretched, so he had no choice but to return to the bedroom. At this time, the structure of the house is mostly wood and stone, which is very prone to fire, and the study is even more defensive, and everything related to fire cannot enter.

After wearing the quilt and warming it for a long time, Yihou's stiff body stretched slightly, but the leg disease he suffered when he was young was a heart-piercing pain.

At this time, his chief strategist Gao gradually left and returned, Yihou did not dare to slack off, got up and went to the study to meet him, but as soon as he entered the door, he felt that he had entered spring, and the room was warm but there was no brazier.

"What is this, and how is it so hot?"

The subordinate on the side hurriedly replied: "Return to the master, this is sent by the young master's order, call the stove." Put charcoal in it to make a fire, and use a large bamboo pipe to send the carbon poison out. ”

The Yanhuang civilization originated in the land of the Three Jin Dynasty, and the coal there was naturally discovered and used by the ancestors, but there were always people who died of poisoning, and their faces were pale. At that time, people did not know that carbon monoxide was the cause of the problem, so they simply did not use it, and only some poor people who could not afford to buy charcoal dug some for heating themselves.

But the burning of charcoal is not as good as coal, because no one dares to use it because of carbon poisoning, but now it is solved by a strange stove. Yihou was interested and asked, "Who did Ji Jing buy from, it can't be this stove made by him." ”

"Back to the master, this set of stoves is sold in the young master's shop, and it is still known throughout the city, and almost all the gentry and nobles have one in their homes."

Could it be that his son is a genius, Yihou doesn't think Ji Jing has this ability. asked: "That store was opened by Ji Jing alone, but there is no one else to partner with?" ”

"Naturally, there is a partner, Zhao Zheng, the owner of the store that is as good as the water." A handsome white robe came in from outside, but he was still single-clothed in such a cold and freezing weather.

Yihou saw the person who came, and said happily: "Mr. Gao came just in time, and Benhou is also worried about this Zhao Zheng's matter." ”

As he spoke, he picked up an invitation card from the table, which read, "Rujia Dian celebrates the auspiciousness, and is not taking the liberty of inviting the prince to the banquet and singing auspiciousness." ”

Singing auspicious is a local saying that on a festive day, a respectable person is invited to preside over the festival and pray for a better future.

Yihou took the invitation card and said: "Zhao Zhengxiao'er previously designed to sell knives, which attracted Ji Jing to have a relationship with him, if he is a sinister person, Ben Hou will directly send someone to kill him."

But on the one hand, he had a good relationship with Ji Jing, gave him a peerless knife, and opened a store with him; On the other hand, the villagers are also relieved, a few days ago, the houses were damaged by the heavy snow, and the villagers on the banks of the Yishui River were actually home to fund the repair of the houses and give away coal. The elders of Sanxiang are now going to recommend him as the pavilion chief, and now there will be no more closures. ”

Gao Yanli also knew the news that Rujia was blocked, but at that time he couldn't do anything about it in Jidu, but he knew that Jing Ke was very concerned about this matter, and he came to three letters to ask him to intercede for Rujia.

"Then does Master Hou want to go or not?"

Yihou pondered for a while and said, "Go, why don't you go, that little boy didn't know what means to get Ji Jing to agree to those family properties the day before yesterday, just to exchange for a knife." ”

Gao Yanli asked: "But like Jing Ke's spring rain, it is extremely sharp but extremely light." ”

Yihou nodded and said, "It is that knife, Zhao Zheng called it 'Tang Dao', saying that it was created by Tang Yao, the ancient sage king, but the old man has never heard of it." ”

The biggest problem for the traverser is to explain an invention that is ahead of the times, but fortunately, during the Warring States period, the study of the weft was very popular, and many things that cannot be explained by science can be explained as long as they are arranged by God. Zhao Zheng simply said that his master carpenter traveled to Tang Yao's mausoleum and felt it, and in his dream he was instructed by Emperor Yao to learn the method of forging Tang knives.

Whether others believe it or not, the carpenter almost believed it, and there were two simple-minded guys with developed limbs, who knew that the knife on his waist was taught by Emperor Yao in his dream, and his head was about to soar when he went out.

"Mr. Gao can now understand the old man's difficulties, although Zhao Zheng pushed the method of forging the knife to the old man, but the old man knew that it was all done by him. With such a young age, he has such a great talent, and forging such a treasure sword is still acceptable for the king to make him a marquis.

But this kid is acting absurdly and uninhibited, and the old man heard Ji Jing say that the slaves in Zhao Zheng's family can enter and leave his study and bedroom at will, and there is no distinction between dignity and inferiority in eating and living.

After my Yan Guo summoned the duke, I have always paid attention to the Zhou ceremony, if the old man recommended this person to enter the temple, wouldn't it be smiling and generous, and even the old man would lose face. ”

Losing talents due to hypocrisy is unwise; Challenge the world's etiquette system with one person and find death. Yihou is entangled in this, and Gao Yuanli is not the same. But he was not a pedantic aristocrat after all, and with a little flexibility came up with a compromise idea.

Gao gradually left: "The world is bustling, all for fame and fortune, since the Hou Ye doesn't dare to give him power, you can give him wealth." rights, which can be used to generate profits; Profit, scatter the right to obtain.

Since Zhao Zheng is a person who does not follow the etiquette law, he can naturally figure out the truth here, Hou Ye only needs to meet his interests, why worry about Zhao Zheng not sincerely to vote, as long as he enters the Hou Ye shogunate, he is afraid that the method of forging knives will flow into other countries. ”

"Wonderful, if it weren't for Mr., the old man would have almost lost a great talent." Yihou bowed to Gao and thanked him for his advice, and the burden in his heart finally disappeared.

Gao gradually bowed and returned the salute, and said in his heart: "Brother Zhao, although you and I have not intersected, but I just saved your life, so how can Tang Dao have me." ”

"In a few days, I will ask Mr. to accompany me and go to Zhao Zheng's store to celebrate together."

"Dare not obey your fate", Gao Yanli said, and then laughed, "Master Hou doesn't know, and Zhao Zheng is calculating." ”

Yihou was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "This kid is also wise, and the old man was convinced by his calculations, but now my old friend is afraid that he will be furious." ”

The monarchs and ministers here laughed and said, fortunately they had another talent, and the Zheng family over there was gloomy, and after that, there was another master on the boundary of Yixian County, and it was obtained by the Jedi counterattack against the Zheng family.

Zheng Li discussed with a staff member for a long time without an idea, jumped and jumped angrily, and scolded: "Rice buckets, they are all rice buckets, a group of people who claim to be unparalleled in wisdom and scheming actually let an unknown kid play tricks, get out, get out of me." ”

Zheng Gaotie's face was blue, and he endured not to have a seizure, but in his heart he became more and more disappointed in the Zheng family and the Zheng family. Zheng Li's kind of goods can become the ministers of the Zheng family, and the other ones are not good birds, and they have never forgotten to restore the country with these. Even if the restoration of the country is successful, what is the use, in the end, it is not to be bullied by other countries.

"Why should my father be angry about this, it's a good thing."

Just now, Zheng Sleeve heard his father's roar, and saw Zheng Gao Tieqing leaving, knowing that Zhao Zheng had already angered his father, if he didn't come forward again, he was afraid that his father would start a full-scale war against Zhao Zheng and crush him with his strength.

But Zheng Sleeve also knew that Zhao Zheng was not a good match, and this time he would rather try his best to win Yihou's support than bow to himself, which made Zheng Sleeve feel a little lost but very happy.

Zheng Li suppressed the fire and asked, "How can you say this, is it possible that Zhao Zheng will not reconcile with my Zheng family?" ”

"It's true, this time Yihou quit halfway and supported him, because he gave Yihou the weapon he wanted; Then if my Zheng family gives him the wealth he wants, will he also reconcile with my Zheng family? ”
