Zhao Qing, who had been tossed by the roar all night, got up in poor spirits the next day and came to Chen Taoer's room to check the wound. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Chen Tao'er was very lucky, his wound recovered well, and Zhao's clumsy suturing did not make the follow-up worse, but began to scab, and the dark red one looked like a hideous centipede.

Under the nourishment of the daily wolfberry cinnabar mutton soup, his qi and blood also recovered quickly, and there was a trace of blood in just a few days, and it seems that it will not take more than a week to return to the level of a normal person.

"You still have to lie in bed for a month, don't move, change the bandages and medicine on the wound frequently, and I'll remove the stitches after a while." Zhao instructed lightly, the woman nodded again and again, Chen Taoer's injury gradually improved, and she was very happy.

"Thank you so much for you and Doctor Song, otherwise my life would have been lost." Chen Tao'er lay on the bed and said a little weakly, "I'm really bored these days, when will you tell me the story of the frozen throne." ”

During this period, Song Ci also came a few times, carefully observed the changes in Chen Tao'er's wounds, and prescribed a few prescriptions to replenish blood, and every time he left, he took a few pages full of experience notes, but it was a pity that every time he staggered with Zhao Qing's time, the two busy people didn't meet after that, and Zhao Qing didn't know how Song Ci's research was going, but I heard that he had begun to look for the next patient who was willing to let him have surgery. But obviously such volunteers are not easy to find, and not everyone has the courage to let others use knives on themselves.

"Let's wait until you recover, that story is too bloody, don't scare your wounds." Zhao Qing joked, in fact, he was not free today, and he had not been idle since he entered Ningjiang Prefecture City.

Today he needs to visit Wansan Qianzhuang, which is Shen Wansan's former foundation, and he needs to understand Shen Wansan's life trajectory and his impact on the world. After all, what Shu Kun said is just folk circulation.

Coming to the city area, it is only a few hundred meters away from the city lord's mansion, which is the most prosperous area in Ningjiang Prefecture, and Wansan Qianzhuang is located in it.

Wansan Qianzhuang is a wooden attic, which looks out of place with the tall brick houses around it, and has a low-key and restrained feeling. But no one dared to underestimate the power of this attic institution, which was a truly rich group.

The identity of the Guigumen people is very useful, as soon as Zhao Qingcai entered the door, a small servant greeted him cordially, and after asking the intention, he arranged two beautiful maids to lead Zhao Qing to the private room on the third floor.

Although it is now in wartime, many merchants have almost no business, but this obviously has nothing to do with Wansan Qianzhuang, and the people who come to handle business are lined up in huge halls.

Seeing that the little guy who always ignored people actually took the initiative to receive Zhao Qing, and there were maids to serve, and he could also go to the private room upstairs, a person from a big business house couldn't help but be indignant: "What is the origin of that kid, Lao Tzu and the second shopkeeper of Shunde Hall have to line up honestly, why can he go in directly." ”

Immediately, someone hit him with his elbow and said, "Don't talk nonsense, you kid don't talk nonsense, that's Zhao Qing Zhao Gongzi, offended him, don't think about living a good life in Shundetang." ”

"What? He's the guy from Guigumen! The second shopkeeper immediately covered his mouth, looked in the direction of the stairs, and the resentment on his face was swept away, turning into envy and yearning.

Zhao Qing sat on the fragrant mahogany seat, found that there was a stack of peanuts on the table, and immediately grabbed a few and ate them, while admiring the majestic landscape painting in the middle, and was in a good mood. Wansan Qianzhuang not only looks low-key on the outside, but also introverted on the inside, and it is antique everywhere, which is very in line with Zhao Qing's aesthetics.

These two maids were not only beautiful in appearance, but also very graceful in their manners, and were obviously highly trained, and were now skillfully boiling tea. The small red clay stove was lit with a blue flame, and a pointed copper kettle was swallowed tepidly, and the tea set on the table was complete, and it was obvious that the owner was very good about it. After the copper kettle made a whining sound, one of the two maids lifted the kettle, and the other took out a small piece of tea cake from a precious wooden box, put it into the purple clay pot that had been scalded with boiling water, and then poured half a pot of ninety percent boiling water, and after shaking it lightly, the water in the pot was poured out, and then sixty percent of warm water was poured in, and after waiting for a few breaths, the slightly yellowed tea was poured into a pottery cup, and respectfully handed it to Zhao Qing.

This set of tea-making skills is very complicated, taking the teacup from the slender hands, Zhao took a sip, only to feel that the tea fragrance is pleasant, not thick or light, but it has not tasted anything else, and the kind of tea pole that can make a big pot for a few dollars or two does not seem to be much different.

"This is the best West Lake Longjing, which was personally excavated by Wan Sanye in Lin'an, how does Zhao Gongzi feel?" Long Tan appeared at the right time, otherwise Zhao Qing didn't know what to do after drinking tea, the more he looked at this maid, the more itchy he became, Zhao Qing, who had never been served by such a beautiful woman, might have to do something beastly.

"In the mountains, the vulgar people can't taste the reason, and it's a waste for me to drink such good tea." Zhao Qing put the teacup on the table and said with a smile.

"Zhao Gongzi said that he laughed, the people of Guigumen are all laymen, so we must not be savages." As if he was amused, Long Tan sat on the seat opposite Zhao Qing, "I should have invited Zhao Gongzi, but Qian Zhuang was busy with affairs, and it has been delayed until now, and I am really ashamed to bother Zhao Gongzi to come to visit in person." ”

"Where, the shopkeeper of the dragon is serious, Zhao Qing is an idler, and he is already uneasy to come to disturb." Zhao Qing looked at this shrewd old man, although he was the first to recognize Zhao Qing's identity as a member of the Guigu Gate at that banquet, but Zhao Qing always felt that he had a dislike for himself, and his attitude towards himself was very enthusiastic on the surface, but in fact he was very cold, "Since I was born, I have heard a lot about the deeds of my fellow seniors, and this time I came to visit, just to learn more about Shen Wansan's story from the dragon shopkeeper." ”

"Could it be that Zhao Gongzi never heard of Wan San Ye when he was at the Guigu Mountain Gate?" Long Tan looked surprised, and then asked curiously, "Where is the ghost valley, and what is it like inside the mountain gate?" ”

"It's just a valley outside the world, surrounded by clouds and mist all the year round, there are only two people in the valley and Shizun Xiaoyaozi, after the Shizun passed away, when he left the mountain gate, he only felt a change around his body, and he appeared outside Huanhe County, and he looked back and saw no trace of the mountain gate. It can be said that I know very little about my own mountain gate. Zhao said with a wry smile.

Long Tan listened to this bizarre story, smiled noncommittally, and on the surface recognized Zhao Qing's statement, and then recounted Shen Wansan's life and deeds like a treasure.

Zhao Qing was a little disappointed after listening to it, the content of Long Tan's narration was similar to what Shu Kun said, but it was a little more detailed and realistic, and a little less mythical.

"In the end, Shen Wansan went to sea, did he go to the New World?" didn't get the information he was interested in, so Zhao Qing had to ask himself.

"Zhao Gongzi also knows about the Eastern Continent?" Long Tan's eyes lit up and asked.

"Well, this world is very big, it is a big ball, and the location of the Great Zhou is only a corner of the world, except for the continent where the Great Zhou is located, there are three continents in the west, south, and east. The continent in the east is the farthest away, and Shen Wansan drifted east and disappeared into the sea, so he will suspect that he went to the new continent. Zhao Qing grabbed a few more peanuts and looked at Long Tan with slightly squinted eyes. He revealed some of the truth of this world just to test and see if Shen Wansan had passed on this knowledge.

Long Tan showed a wry smile on his face and said, "Does that continent really exist, the Great Zhou Sea ships have traveled eastward countless times in the past hundred years, but none of them have been able to sail to the other side of the ocean. ”

"It does exist, but no one has ever found that continent, so where did this peanut come from? Is it Shen Wan's three? Zhao Qing ate a few more peanuts and asked. Peanuts originated in the Americas and spread to the world after the discovery of the New World during the Age of Discovery. Long Tan said that Da Zhou has not yet discovered that continent, but peanuts have appeared here, which may have been carried by Shen Wansan when he crossed over, like Zhao Qing, there are many modern things on his body.

After Long Tan heard Zhao Qing's words, his face suddenly became very exciting, and he stood up suddenly, stared at Zhao Qing deadly, and said, "This oil bean is really from that continent?" ”

Zhao Qing's expression was also very exciting, listening to Long Tan's tone, this peanut is a famous oil bean, but it has little to do with Shen Wansan.

"If it wasn't brought by Shen Wansan, it must have come from that continent." Zhao said categorically.

Long Tan's face was cloudy for a while, and he paced back and forth in the hall by himself. He recognized Zhao Qing's identity only because of Chai Yi's pressure, and during the conversation that day, he also found that Zhao Qing was indeed very ghostly thinking, but today he found out that this young man knew more than he imagined. Could it be that he is really from Guigumen?

After a long time, Long Tan looked at Zhao Qing and said: "This oil bean was not brought by Wan Sanye, but was introduced to Dazhou by the Four Seas Commercial Bank ten years ago, they said that this is a crop in the South China Sea, and at the same time, there is also a crop called soil melon, as well as tobacco." ”

"The soil melon should be called a potato, the rhizome is edible, and the yield is very large, the tobacco ignites the white smoke, people smoke a puff like a cloud, the spirit is doubled, but it is easy to be addicted, and it is not good for the lungs. These two are also produced on that continent. Since it was not brought by Shen Wansan, it was the Four Seas Trading House that discovered the New World and brought it from there, but falsely claimed to have found it from the South China Sea. Zhao Qing analyzed.

The more Long Tan listened, the more frightened he became, potatoes have spread in the Great Zhou, this kind of thing that can be cut into pieces and planted in the ground is very popular with the people, but tobacco is a rare thing, ordinary people can't touch it, even he can't use it every day, the reason is that this thing is produced very little, and it is monopolized by the Four Seas Commercial Bank, a large part of the rise of the Four Seas Commercial Bank over the years is relying on the luxury of tobacco, and the fleet under Wansan Qian Zhuang is about to search the South China Sea, and there is no trace of tobacco, so you can only watch the Four Seas Commercial Bank make money alone, Unexpectedly, these were all transmitted from the Eastern Continent. In this way, ten years ago, the Four Seas Commercial Bank had discovered the New World, but it was hidden and earned, earning a lot of benefits, but the Dazhou business giant Wansan Qianzhuang did not know about it.

His back was soaked in cold sweat, and Long Tan paid attention to this young man for the first time, and what he said was probably the truth.

"You two go out, and don't let anyone come in." Long Tan pushed the two maids apart, the maids bowed slightly, and then walked out quietly, and closed the door, and then Long Tan walked to the landscape picture, and gently moved a wooden ornament on the wall, and the sound of the machine sounded, and the landscape painting turned around and turned into a map.

Looking at the familiar outline, Zhao Qing recognized this world map at a glance, and it seemed that Shen Wansan had left quite a lot of things.

Looking at the map, Long Tan looked a little excited, and said: "This is the general map of the world, it was drawn by Wan Sanye, and it is only circulated among the real descendants of the Guigu Valley, and now the small half has been discovered and confirmed by the Great Zhou fleet." The continent where our Great Zhou is located is called Northrend! It is the largest continent. ”

Zhao Qing, who was about to change his posture and listen to Long Tan's explanation of this map, almost fell out of his chair, he stood up and said, "Northrend? Is this the name of Shen Wansan, then that continent will not be called Kalimdor. He asked, pointing to where Africa was.

"It turns out that Zhao Gongzi knows that it seems that he is really from Guigumen, and I was suspicious before. That's right, this continent is called Kalimdor, and the Great Zhou merchant ships had already landed on this continent fifty years ago, and found the kind of cone-shaped structure called the pyramid described by Wan Sanye in Dulongtal. The expression on Long Tan's face gradually changed from excitement to fanaticism, and he pointed to Australia again, saying, "This continent Pandalia is the first new continent to be discovered, and now the wild people on it have been almost expelled by the Han Chinese, and it is the largest enclave overseas of the Great Zhou, which can provide a huge amount of wool and meat to the Great Zhou every year. ”

Finally, he pointed to North and South America, and said: "This eastern continent is a blank for the Great Zhou, and no fleet has ever been able to cross the endless sea in the middle, and every time it sails for more than a month, the ships either encounter strong winds, fog, ice floes, or run out of materials and cannot find the island landing supplies, and they have never been able to reach it, but unexpectedly, the Four Seas Commercial Company has taken the lead, and we are ashamed of the three masters of the Guigu Valley." ”

After speaking, he hammered his chest with some pain, as the descendants of Shen Wansan, they have always claimed to be the true descendants of the Ghost Valley, and they take it as their mission to explore this general map of the world, and outsiders like the Four Seas Commercial Bank actually discovered the new continent ahead of them, and they don't even know how not to lose it.

Zhao Qing felt that his heart was vomiting blood, a few liters and several liters like that. This Shen Wansan must be a Warcraft brainless fan, and he actually used the name in the World of Warcraft to define the name of the continent of this world, which is a joke of that international event. It turns out that the continent where he has always lived is called Northrend, no wonder there is also the legend of the Frozen Throne.

However, Shen Wansan is the first comer, of course, he has the final say on how to name it, Zhao Qing just thinks it's too bad taste, but it's not too difficult to accept. He looked at the dejected face of Long Tan, his heart was not very comfortable, in another time and space, it was Columbus who found the American continent, he was in Europe, and the American continent was separated by the Atlantic Ocean, and between the Great Zhou and the American continent was the world's largest Pacific Ocean, the Great Zhou's fleet wanted to cross the Pacific Ocean to find the American continent, the difficulty was several times higher, the ancient ship design was backward, powered by sails or oars, and generally sailed along the coast, so that it could be replenished in time, but if you really want to cross the ocean, The higher the range, the more difficult it became, especially in the later stages, when a depleted sailboat could only wait to die in the endless sea.

"In fact, if you want to go to the Eastern Continent, you can't build that kind of ship with the current shipbuilding technology of the Great Zhou, and you need steam power, I don't know how the current steam engine of the Great Zhou is developing?" Zhao Qing interrupted Long Tan's self-blame and asked.

"Steam engines? This, it seems that Wan Sanye did mention it, and he also started to do it back then, but the result was not ideal, and the finished product was also used in the textile industry, but it was banned by Sejong, the reason is very complicated, and then the development of the steam engine seems to have stagnated, can it still be used on sea ships? Long Tan came back to his senses and fell into thought, he studied the knowledge of the Ghost Valley left by Shen Wansan very deeply, and as soon as he was reminded by Zhao Qing, he immediately remembered the ancient thing of the steam engine, recalling the characteristics of this thing, as if it could really be used on a sea ship, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

"It's good to have, but since the development has stagnated, then the current steam engines must still be very backward, and they can't be used for sea ships at all, and it is estimated that it will take decades to develop to be able to build steam ships that can cross the oceans. I have another way to get to the Eastern Continent. Zhao Qing sat back in his seat with a playful smile on his face.

"What a method! Could it be that Zhao Gongzi knows the route to the Eastern Continent? As long as Zhao Gongzi can provide it, Wansan Qianzhuang will definitely promise heavy profits! Long Tan's breath suddenly tightened, if he could go to the Eastern Continent, the interests of his business group would be too great.

"I don't know the route, but you can walk there." Zhao Qing pointed to the eastern corner of the Northrend Continent on the map, and said, "This map is too sloppy, and there is a big difference between it and the actual map, I have seen the real world map in the mountain gate, and the distance between here and the Eastern Continent is very close, and there is only a strait in the middle, not an ocean like this on this map." All you have to do is walk all the way through here, through that strait, and you can reach the Eastern Continent. ”

"Really? Where can you walk past? Long Tan's face was incredible, he couldn't believe that the map left by Shen Wansan would have such an error.

"Of course, I think the Four Seas Trading House should also take this trade route instead of sailing by boat, I can draw a detailed map for you, as for the benefits, I am a layman below, just out of the mountain gate, there is nothing to lose, as long as money." Zhao smiled slightly.

"No problem! As long as you are sure that you can reach it, Zhao Gongzi's map, I will buy it for 1 million yuan in Wansan Qianzhuang! Long Tan slammed the table and gritted his teeth.

Zhao Qing didn't have any concept of ancient currency, but one million sounds like a lot, it should be a lot, so there is no bargaining, and he responded directly, and then he asked for a pen and paper, and drew a map of that area with his memory, and by the way, the map of the Americas was also drawn, which marked the mountains and plains in more detail, he especially liked to scribble according to the map when he was a child, so he was impressed, and the map drawn was not comparable to Shen Wansan's sketches.

Seeing the fineness of Zhao Qing's map, Long Tan no longer had the slightest doubt that Zhao Qing came from the real Guigu Mountain Gate, knowing that there were not a few people in the Kalimdo Continent, it didn't mean that he was from the Guigu Valley, but being able to draw Shen Wansan's map to such an extent that even Shen Wansan couldn't do it, let alone them, only the real Guigu Gate could do it. Long Tan arched his hand and begged: "If Zhao Gongzi can draw such a detailed map of the world, then Wansan Qianzhuang is willing to add another million!" ”

It's really wealthy, Zhao Qing couldn't close his mouth with joy in his heart, took a few more pieces of paper, and drew the most detailed world map he could draw, and Long Tan was breathing heavily.

"Zhao Gongzi, this Wansan Qianzhuang is the foundation of Wansan Mansion, there are many Guigu heirs, why don't Zhao Gongzi join us, I believe that with Zhao Gongzi's knowledge of Guigu, Wansan Qianzhuang will definitely be able to develop Wansan Qianzhuang to a new height." Long Tan said to Zhao lightly with an extremely serious face, this is the attitude that a person from the Guigu Sect should have.

Zhao Qing shook his head decisively after thinking for a moment and rejected this tempting recruitment. Although he is considered to be a native of Guigumen, he has also created an identity for himself as a son of Zhao Qi. Zhao Qi came from the Yeguo Mansion, that was after Zhao Kuangyin, in Zhao Qing's original world, he was a royal descendant, in this is the orthodox Jiangmen, in the past few days, he has found out how discordant and even contradictory there is between Jiangmen and businessmen, how can he, as a disciple of Jiangmen, join the merchant group.

"After Zhao Qingnai took the door, the kindness of the shopkeeper Long was understood, but it was unacceptable, please forgive me." Zhao shook his head lightly and said, "The map has been drawn, and it's time to leave next." ”

Long Tan sighed helplessly, and said: "It's me who is abrupt, Zhao Gongzi, after a while, I will ask people to draw up a passbook, there is a million guan in it, and the remaining one million guan will also be transferred to that passbook after the results of the Eastern Continent and the party." As he spoke, he put away the maps very carefully, then pushed them away, called the two maids, whispered a few words to them, and asked them to lead Zhao Qing downstairs, and he opened a mechanism after Zhao Qing went downstairs, and disappeared into a secret door with the map.
