The private room in the teahouse, said that the private room is nothing more than the inner room, and a curtain is hung. Shen Kan called someone to come over in advance to make arrangements, and led them to come in through the back door.

There was a pot of tea on the table, and a few plates of Soviet-style coarse snacks.

Hearing Master Gu's words, Shen Yuqin was speechless: "There is still such a thing?"

"I don't know." Shen Peiwen looked blank and looked at Shen Peiwei, who was also dazed.

Caiyun was holding a piece of mille-feuille cake, and she couldn't hide her curiosity.

Shen Kan said in his heart that maybe it was true, fifty years ago, probably during the Hongzhi period, the capital had been moved, and the center of gravity of the imperial court had shifted to the north.

Anyway, when the country was strong, the Japanese would definitely not end well, so the big guys listened to the story and no one asked. Instead, a young man from another place asked, "Old man, have you ever been taken captive by the Japanese?"

Shen Kan looked through the gap in the bamboo curtain, and saw that although this young man was dressed as a literati, his aura was not as weak as that of ordinary scholars, but gave people a sense of vigorous health, and at a glance, he knew that he was a person who exercised all year round.

"Why didn't you take it captive?" Master Gu sighed deliberately, "My master was taken captive and asked him to carry things, he was half tired to death every day, and he had to dig a ditch to build a camp at night." A few days later, my nurse and I were also taken captive, and we asked her to go to the laundry and cook. I was only six or seven years old at the time, and I was stupid enough to go with her, but fortunately there was a good widow, and everyone escaped. But my grandfather worked so hard that he died of illness three years later. ”

A refugee who was working as a long-term laborer for his family rushed to say: "Speaking of digging ditches, we went to pull things outside the city today, and we saw many soldiers digging ditches, and they couldn't even walk, so I don't know what to do with this?"

"Digging a ditch?"

Master Gu felt inexplicable, and Mr. Hu on the other side also said that he didn't know, but Shen Kan in the private room was thoughtful.

The young man spoke: "I have heard that the Japanese have used firearms, and they have wounded many sergeants, and they dig a ditch to hide underneath, and the projectiles cannot be hit."

"This man has a lot of knowledge."

Shen Kan was very surprised, and when he looked at the other party carefully, he saw that he was wearing a lotus-colored green bamboo and a scribe's shirt with a big birthday character, covered with a black and blue jacket with a ruyi head, and a pair of thin-soled fast boots on his feet.

Shen Kan roughly measured his figure with his eyes, and found that his arms were obviously much thicker than ordinary people, and he was about a muscular man.

Looking at the clothes and appearance, it is not difficult to see that this is a scholar, and how many scholars can be interested in insisting on perennial exercise?

Master Gu also noticed that the other party seemed to practice martial arts all year round, but his bearing was like a literati, so he asked with a smile: "I take the liberty to ask, brother, are you martial arts?"

"You're old-fashioned." The young man nodded with a smile, "But I followed Master Li to learn swordsmanship for a few days, and I have practiced martial arts for fourteen years." ”

"So what's your business here?" Mr. Hu asked.

"Ugh." The young man showed a wry smile, "I was trusted by the imperial court in Xiameng, and I made a hundred households in Kinmen, and soon I was promoted to a thousand households, but because of the repeated rebellion of the Japanese Kou, it was the above secretary who asked for troops, but he was dismissed by the prison secretary." ”

"How can it be?" Master Gu slapped the table hard, and the big guy also scolded.

"Thank you for speaking up." The young man smiled bitterly and threw his hands around, "The unofficial is light, and now he is traveling the world." ”

A villager asked, "What kind of person is this slave?" The military master will tell us about it. ”

The young man thought for a moment and muttered: "Just like this outsider said, the Japanese people are unruly by nature, fierce and reckless, and lustful for money and goods, and they are not compared to the southwest, that is to say, they are born with a group of robbers."

"One more thing." Mr. Hu interjected, "As the saying goes, if you are poor, you are a coward, and the envoys of the Japanese Kingdom who paid tribute in the early years, one by one, were poor and bare-assed, and when they saw my Middle Earth flower world, they couldn't open their eyes, and if they could pay tribute, they would pay tribute, and if they could trade, they would simply start plundering, without the slightest courtesy, righteousness and shame, otherwise why would Emperor Taizu be angry and decree a sea ban?"

"That's what the gentleman said." The young man nodded in agreement, "The Japanese are secluded on the island, and their customs are sniping and greedy...... At the beginning of Yongle, he came to pay tribute again and again, and then allowed it, so he counted back and forth, knowing the reality of China, the danger of mountains and rivers, because of the wanton rape, when the boat carried its square objects, weapons, haunted the seaway and watched me. In the interim, it will be unscrupulous and invaded; If it is not intermittent, it will be called tribute. The invasion will involve the people's wealth, and the tribute will be given by the country. The cunning of the plan is so. ”

The big guy immediately aweed him, because people are learned.

Shen Kan also became more and more curious, and suddenly saw the eldest sister Shen Peiwen with admiration, staring at others without blinking.

At this time, sitting not far from the young martial arts, there was also a young man, who looked like a businessman in clothes, looked dignified, and impressively had a hooked nose and very thick and black eyebrows.

The young businessman played with a teacup in his hand and said, "Brother, although you are a martial artist, your talent is no less than that of Wenju, why don't you go out and travel overseas?" Now the overseas can be very lively, especially the Franc clever people of the sea ships can ride the wind and waves, the power of firearms is stronger than ours, it is said that the new world is invincible, you might as well go and see it, and then introduce the sea ships and firearms into Middle-earth, with which it is not difficult to reinstate the official. ”

Franc is a man? Shen Kan was shocked, he didn't expect that there would be such a knowledgeable person in the world.

He knew that the Franc machine was the name of Portugal in the Ming Dynasty, derived from the language of Arab merchants in Central Asia, and referred to the name of Europeans in general.

At this time, Shen Peiwei whispered: "The Francophone is the Portuguese you said, right?"

"Hmm." Shen Kan nodded.

"Going overseas?" The young man frowned, "I have dealt with the Franc Robot in Xia, and a few ships have run to Kinmen, I guarded the fort and ordered a few shots to be fired at them, and the Franc Robot Man was so frightened that he ran away." ”

"That's because people don't want to go to war, and what the Francos want is trade." The young merchant laughed.

I didn't want the young Wuju to be alert, so he asked coldly: "The imperial court forbids the sea, why does Brother Tai know so much about the Yi people?"

"I'm a Huizhou businessman." The young businessman said lightly.

The young Wuju said: "Huizhou merchants? It's a fornication affair, right? Fortunately, I lost my official position, otherwise I would have tied you up. ”

"Jokes." The young merchant sneered, "You are in Kinmen, who has the power of your official army?"

"It's not about me."

"That's none of my business."

"Seeing that you are a gangster, I'm afraid it doesn't have anything to do with the Japanese people, right?" As the young Wu Ju spoke, his eyes swept over the other party's waist, and he was amazed by a short knife made by the Wa Kingdom.

Seeing this, the young businessman narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "You can't talk nonsense, others are afraid of you as a martial artist, but I am not afraid."

"I know that you are a good family, and you have the ability to go out and play a few tricks?"

Seeing that the two young men were about to duel like fighting cocks, Shen Kan hurriedly got up and walked out, but as soon as Mr. Hu saw him, he immediately said: "I heard that Brother Mu has not seen each other for a day, and is repairing the garden for the Gu Yuan?" Come on, come on, this old brother next to me asks me for divination, why don't you help him do the math?"

Shen Kan was about to say no, but saw that the attention of the two young people had shifted to himself, he had the heart to make friends with them, and his heart was a coincidence, so he might as well show his hand in person, so that the two of them could look at themselves first.

So he smiled and nodded, Hu Qingshan didn't expect a word of ridicule, this kid really dared to agree? couldn't help but get angry, and said secretly, don't you just rely on Wang Qianzhai's high feet? Let's see how much of his real skills you've learned now.

Master Gu over there suddenly became interested, he was full of confidence in Shen Kan, and chuckled: "Slow! Divination is not in vain, how much do you want to give?"

Mr. Hu said angrily: "Haven't you given any money yet?" If I can speak the truth, I will give two taels for my friends, but if I can't speak well, what do you say?"

"Two taels?" Master Gu smiled contemptuously, "If the solution is not good, I will pay twenty taels, what about you?"

"Here we go again, isn't we?"

Mr. Hu's expression became more and more disdainful, he glanced at Shen Kan first, and couldn't help but make a mistake in his heart, it stands to reason that even if a sixteen-year-old descendant is good at gardening, how can he be good at divination at the same time?

Besides, I haven't heard of him being good at it, anyway, if you lose, you can't let Old Man Gu laugh at him in person, so Mr. Hu gritted his teeth, "Ten taels." ”

"Happy!" Old Man Gu stroked his palms and laughed.

How did it become a gamble? Shen Kan was a little dumbfounded, what if he couldn't solve it? Master Gu, where did you have so much confidence in me?
