Chapter 5 Fangs Section 85 Zhang Heng's Report

The gate of the county government is still the same, the gilded copper bubble nails glittering on the vermilion door panel, but it does not look like the original sense of majesty. Zhang Hengjue shook his head when he found out www.biquge.info himself, panicked in his heart, bypassed the gate, and walked into the county office from the alley on the side.

Wang Xianling looked at the informant who had received his own remuneration with a displeased expression, and asked calmly, "Zhang Heng, you have been very busy lately." Zhang Heng heard the voice-over from the painting, and hurriedly bowed down and replied, "Lord County Commander, I really can't find a chance to come out." Every time I come to the county, it's to solve the problems of those who have bought things from the workshop. Sometimes it's broken, sometimes I don't know how to use it, so I have to ask why it's broken and ask the other party to bring the bad parts. If not, I'll have to teach him by hand. So I often can't get out......" The more I explained, the more panicked I became, so I had to slowly close my mouth.

"You know stop. Your Excellency doesn't have the time to listen to you talk about your unruly work. Don't you say anything new about Liu Yao? Zhou Wenshu looked vicious and scolded, but in fact, he was protecting this informant of his own development.

"Back to my lord. This Liu Yao's mind is very active. Not only did he have spears and armor, but he also made quite a few muskets. The musket fired quickly, and the sound was loud! Moreover, he recently won against Li Chenglin and captured two warships. However, he didn't have many soldiers, only a few dozen people, and now the people on the warship were not evenly matched, but he was building ships in the dockyard. There aren't many people in the entire Meijia Village. Zhang Heng made a decision in his heart and began to report the situation in a slightly exaggerated way.

"We've all seen this musket. The sound is moving, and your literary talent has grown a lot recently. Wang Xianling's face softened slightly, and he heard what he wanted to hear. Liu Yao has always won with elite soldiers. But dozens of people, how much strength can you have in a crack soldier? With a sneer, he continued: "As for the warship, his Meijia Village is a mountain village, where will anyone come to drive the boat?" Ha ha! “

Zhou Wenwen laughed along. Zhang Heng seemed to be unable to help but say, "This sailor can still be recruited." This time the two laughed even more heartily. Zhou Wenwen said: "To this day, Huang Fatzi's shop has never sent a tael of silver to the village. They all bought food and went back. What does he Liu Yao rely on to recruit sailors? A bag of grain a day? Sailors are all for cash! “

Zhang Heng knew that he had received the silver from Wang County's order, and all the work that should have been done had been done. The musket was said, and the reload was said quickly. The warship was spoken, the dockyard was spoken, the shipbuilding and the recruitment of sailors were spoken. As for whether you believe it or not, that's not your business.

"By the way, there's another object that was just made. The name is the steam engine. However, it is still in trial production. Zhang Heng was lining up the things that should be reported in his heart, and suddenly thought of this big thing and forgot to say it. The two adults couldn't react, and they had no idea about this unheard of name. Zhang Heng hurriedly explained: "It is to use charcoal to boil water and turn the water into steam. This steam then pushes the machine to do things. Zhou Wenwen cautiously asked, "How powerful can this steam be?" I can't even lift the lid of the pot. Zhang Heng thought for a moment and replied, "That's because the lid of the pot is not sealed enough." I think if the seal is well sealed and the water in the pot is kept boiling, it is possible to lift the lid. “

"Whimsical! That steam burns people can still be talked about, used for work? How do intangible and insubstantial things work? You don't need to say much about it, wait until it makes something to report it. Wang Xianling interrupted Zhang Heng's report and waved his hand and sat down. Zhou Wenshu hurriedly greeted Zhang Heng and said goodbye. Wang Xianling didn't raise his eyelids, and snorted in his nose as an answer.

Seeing Zhang Heng walking away, Zhou Wenwen clapped his palms, and a person came out from behind the screen, and it was the king. This royal power is also fateful, and he swam for an hour with a string of coconuts, and saw that there were no soldiers on the shore, so he secretly went ashore and walked all the way to the county yamen to report things related to Liu Yao and Li Chenglin. It happened that this Zhang Heng came, and the county order asked him to listen together behind the screen and confirm each other.

Wang Quan knelt down when he walked out of the screen and said, "Wang is a dying man, so he has no scruples in his heart. This is to report the news I have just heard with what I have thought. “

Wang Xianling sometimes snorted in his nose and said, "You can talk about it." “

The king paused for a moment, went to find a chair and sat down, and said, "The first thing I want to say is that the musket is not to be underestimated. What Liu Yao has done is extraordinary. In the battle with Li Chenglin that day, a catapult also made the big ship dumb. So if he made a musket, it would be very powerful. “

Seeing that the county order was unmoved, Wang Quan said to himself: "The second case is the water army. You think that he Liu Yao came to Meijia Village alone, and it has only been a year since today, and he has such a situation. How could it be stopped by the fact that there were no sailors? “

Wang Xianling leaned over and asked, "Then you say, where did he find the silver to hire sailors?" “

The royal power was speechless for a while. Zhou Wenwen said: "That's it." The prefectural magistrate always taught me that I should not take things for granted. Yes is yes, no is no. “

Wang Quan no longer distinguished, bowed down and said, "Xie County ordered to take it in." I've reported everything I know and think, I don't know what else the adults have to say? ”

"You've done your best here. Knowing everything, saying everything. I think the prefect should also report the situation. But this musket, since you care so much, it's best to find out, and Liu Yao's army, if you think that he can become a climate, then you should also wait for him to become a climate, and then report to the prefect. Wang Xian Ling no longer raised his eyelids, straightened up and stared at Wang Quan and said.

"This ...... What the adults say is very true. I'll pack up and go back to the mountain of freedom. I wasn't exposed at Liberty Hill anyway. Everybody thinks I'm out there. It's just that these two hands went back empty-handed, and I'm afraid that I can't justify myself, and I also ask the county magistrate to fund one or two ......."

"Fifty taels. Then go buy a dress. Otherwise, you don't look like a businessman. After the county order finished speaking angrily, he turned around and went back to the inner hall.

Wang Quan left the county seat and walked towards Liberty Mountain. Since his wife died, he has been dependent on his daughter Wang Yufeng. Although they often beat and scolded when they were together, after all, they hadn't seen each other for a few months, and they still missed it a little in their hearts, so they got up quickly and saw that they had caught up with a caravan in front. When I got closer, it turned out to be Huang Fatzi and his subordinates carrying a few truckloads of grain, and hurriedly rushed up to say hello. The two are not familiar with each other, but Wang Yufeng is already the head of the nurse's team in the hospital, and anyone who arrives in her hands has to be obedient, but she is famous.

"Boss Wang often does business outside and is familiar with a wide range of roads, so why not cooperate with my Free Mountain Trading Company to open up business routes? Now that Liberty Mountain is abundant, it's time for you and me to show our talents. After the yellow fat man's greetings, he immediately began to pull people in.

"That's what I mean. It's just been gone for a long time, and I don't know what to produce now? Wang Quan asked with interest.

"One is armor and spears. The end is indestructible and indestructible. Huang Fatzi didn't wait for the royal power to refute, and then said: "It's all about using the weapons of Freedom Mountain to fight against other weapons. If a spear pierces it, it doesn't matter what armor or shield you have, it will be invincible. On the other hand, if you use another sword to pierce my armor, it will not pierce it. After the fat man finished speaking, he took out a pair of armor from the cart and showed it to the king.

The armor was smooth and shiny, and the thickness felt exactly the same when you touched it. This is not the same as hand-made armor. Wang Quan touched his hand and asked carefully: "Then how much does such a pair of armor cost?" ”

"Brother Wang is also interested in getting involved in this military thing? That's very good. I don't know how much a good pair of armor costs, as far as you know? "Huang Fatzi is not ambiguous at all when he starts business.

"Don't hide it from Boss Huang, I haven't done a weapons business yet. Therefore, the market price is not well understood. Wang Quan knew that it was easy to talk casually, so he simply answered honestly.

"Then I don't know which industry Brother Wang is familiar with? It's better to find something familiar to do. The so-called raw line is not in, and familiar line is not out. Huang Fatzi untied the cloth bag on the cart and introduced: "There are many things that need to be purchased in Liberty Mountain now, such as various minerals, such as mercury, cinnabar, saltpeter, sulfur, aluminite, copper, tin, lead, as many as you want. This is what I recently acquired, and it is a solid business to resell to the workshop in the Liberty Hills. ”

"What Brother Huang said, it's a good business. It's just that I haven't purchased these ore metals either. Wang Quan said lightly, pretending to be looking at the ore, and as he quickly conceived his background, he suddenly remembered a trade, and his heart suddenly had a bottom. He stopped what he was doing and waited for the fat man to ask.

"I don't know what kind of business Brother Wang is engaged in? Maybe we can work together. The fat man asked as expected.

"I have been following a boss surnamed Li to buy herbs from Guangxi and resell them to Guangdong. Because it's not my own industry, I have limited contact with this industry, and I just follow the boss to do some things to urge and check correctly. "Since his daughter began to study medicine, Wang Quan knew that Liu Yao did not recognize herbal medicine. This is unthinkable on this plane. Because of this, Liu Yao's hospital has always been called an injury clinic, and it does not admit internal medicine patients. Therefore, when the royal power appears in the name of the herb merchant, the idea of cooperation can be cut off and the goofs can be avoided.

As soon as this line of work came out, I heard a long sigh from the fat man Huang and said to Wang Quan: "Brother Wang, the so-called 72 lines, if you do any other 71 lines, I can cooperate with you." Only in medicine, Mr. Liu has his own set, and it is by no means different from the outside world. That's lost a lot of business. However, recently he made a penicillin, which is a miracle in the treatment of traumatic infections! You can also sell this thing outside. It's just that this thing needs to be administered by a doctor, and at first you are afraid that you will not be able to participate in it. ”

Wang Quan relaxed and replied casually: "How the business is done is also the boss's business." I can't be the Lord. Or could you please introduce what kind of goods are available for takeout, and I may make the next batch myself. ”

Huang Fat Man was about to speak, when a guy with a cart interjected and said, "This Boss Wang, my ancestor also sold medicinal materials from Guangxi, and I am afraid that I still know your Boss Li." ”

Wang Quan suddenly felt that his head was big, why did he also encounter the old ones? Hurriedly asked, "Then why didn't you do the business of medicinal materials handed down by your ancestors, but you did things here?" ”

The man's expression darkened, and he said, "It's not that there is too much trouble. Once, my father and uncle went into the mountains at the same time, and when they encountered bandits, none of them came out. The crowd sighed. The man continued, "I remember hearing my fathers often talk about Tripterygium wilfordii and dogwood. These names alone are very nice. Are these all Guangxi's specialties? ”

Wang Quan casually replied yes, and immediately changed the topic: "You are now working in this trading company in Freedom Mountain, and your future is limitless." What kind of goods are better to sell now? Can you tell me? Ha ha. ”

The fat man took over and said, "Tools, farm tools, and weapons." There's nothing to hide. The guy also said happily, "There is also a toy." Mr. Liu Yao and that Zhang Heng designed and made a lot of toys, all of which were very fun, and many people came to buy them. Boss Huang, this brother Wang is well-informed, we have to cooperate with him well. The fat man laughed when he heard this, patted Wang Quan on the shoulder, and said loudly: "I don't know if Brother Wang likes our goods." So, when you reach Liberty Mountain, go to your daughter and recount your family happiness. If you are interested in doing business, in a day or two, you come to the trading company to find me, and you will be there. This time, I'm going to stay at a trading company for a few days to sort out my goods and go home to take a break. ”

"Isn't Huang Yuanwai's house in Chahe Village?" Wang Quan asked curiously.

"Every day changes in the Freedom Mountains! You don't know. Today, Meijia Village no longer exists, and everyone has moved to live on Freedom Mountain. The land below the mountain has been leveled and all is cultivated. Now standing on the hill and looking down, the endless flat land, horizontal and vertical, very beautiful! Some of our villagers in Chahe Village have also moved in one after another, and I am considered to be fast, and I have already bought a house in Liberty Hill to live in. Huang Fatzi introduced Freedom Mountain to foam at the mouth, obviously agreeing very much.

"Outside of Meiyuan, is the big house of Lao Zhao and others also demolished?" Wang Quan immediately thought of the two best big houses in Meijia Village.

"Lao Mei's house, now it's called a museum. The original furniture and supplies are kept in the same place, and it is said that it will not be long before these things will change, so it is necessary to leave them for people to see. Lao Zhao's family still lives by himself. There are many others, and they have to be expanded to live in it. Now there are only these two houses and a few big trees left in the original Meijia Village, and the whole is called Hezi Cultural Zone. I don't know what the significance of Mr. Liu is doing this. (To be continued.) )
