Chapter 623: Clairvoyance
The weather is still very hot after the beginning of autumn.
The autumn cicadas seemed to know that their days of leisure had not been long ago, and they were lying on the trees and singing for their lives, and the noisy people were upset.
Sitting at the window, Yuan Xu fiddled with the gadgets he had made in recent days.
"Childe!" Ma Fei's voice came from outside the door: "The old jade craftsman father and son ask to see!" ”
"The old jade craftsman is awake?" Yuan Xu blurted out.
"Wake up!"
"Hurry up, please!"
The craftsmanship of the old jade craftsman determines the quality of crystal polishing.
The successful polishing of the crystal can not only bring Yuan Xu a huge amount of income, but also be used on the battlefield to win dozens of miles away!
The door opened, and Ma Fei stepped inside.
Then an old man and a young man followed into the house.
It was the old jade craftsman father and son who entered the house.
Seeing Yuan Xu, the father and son hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.
The old jade craftsman said: "The little old man almost died at home, but fortunately, the son rescued him, and the son's kindness is unforgettable!" ”
"Hurry up, please!" Yuan Xu walked quickly to the father and son and helped them up.
Looking at the old jade craftsman, he asked with concern, "How is the old man's body and bones?" ”
"After the doctor's conditioning, there is no major problem!"
"It's all right! It's all right! Yuan Xu gestured: "Please sit down!" ”
"The son is a nobleman, and my father and son are pariahs, so they dare not sit!" The old jade craftsman said with sincere fear.
"Something to ask the old man, what a noble and cheap!" Yuan Xu said: "Don't hide it from my father-in-law, I also had something to ask for when I went that day, and I happened to meet my father-in-law fainting, so I rescued him at the right time!" ”
"Little Lao'er has no strengths. Only craftsmanship. The old jade craftsman said, "What can the son ask me for?" ”
"Craftsmanship is enough!" Yuan Xu said: "Please take a seat! ”
Yuan Xu repeatedly asked his father and son to sit down, and the old jade craftsman did not dare to excuse himself. I sat in the house.
His son did not dare to sit with his father, but stood behind him.
"Have you ever heard of crystals?" After sitting down. Yuan Xu asked the old jade craftsman.
The old jade craftsman shook his head and asked, "Dare to ask Childe, what is a crystal?" ”
Yuan Xu glanced at Ma Fei.
After Ma Fei left, he didn't bring back a crystal clear.
"Have you ever seen this thing?" Taking the crystal, Yuan Xu asked the old jade craftsman.
Hurriedly got up to pick it up, the old jade craftsman held it in his hand, and his excited hands were trembling: "Where did the son come from this thing?" ”
"Someone excavated, got it from the pit!"
"This thing is called the Sea Fairy Stone." The old jade craftsman's excited lips trembled and said: "It is the most precious and precious thing, and the little old man has only heard of it, and has never seen it." Childe is actually available......"
"There are a lot of them!" Yuan Xu's next words. It surprised the old jade craftsman even more.
The stone he was holding in his hand, at a glance, was already a blessing for three lives, and Yuan Xu had a lot of it in his hands.
The old jade craftsman's excitement did not surprise Yuan Xu.
Scarcity is expensive!
Crystal was indeed more expensive than glass in his time, but it was not comparable to precious stones.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, people did not know much about crystal, and it was extremely difficult to mine, and it was reasonable to be precious.
Yuan Xu once thought of mining crystals and making rare things such as glass at the same time.
It has been calculated. He found it impossible to make the trip.
Glass is made at a high temperature.
With the production process of the late Han Dynasty, it is completely impossible to refine silica with high purity, let alone successfully make glass.
With the experience brought from the hereafter. He can only choose to mine crystals and polish them, in the hope of being a strange commodity!
"Uncle, this thing may be polished?" Yuan Xu asked.
Play with the narcissus stone in your hand. The old jade craftsman said: "Difficult! This thing is too hard to iron, and the little old man's tool is afraid that it will not be polished. ”
"What does my husband need? Just open your mouth! Yuan Xu said: "A certain self-purchased!" ”
"The tools used to polish the sea fairy stone are almost the same as those of jade." The old jade craftsman said, "It's just that this material is too hard. I'm afraid it will have to be replaced from time to time. ”
"It's good to polish, and you need as many tools as you want." Yuan Xu said: "There are a lot of sea fairy stones in a certain hand, and the old man is only afraid of ......."
"Little Lao'er once taught my son to choose jade." The old jade craftsman said, "You can be a foil!" ”
The old jade craftsman's son bowed down and said, "The villain is unwilling to inherit his father's mantle, so he left the house, and he didn't want his craft to help his son!" ”
"Ancestral craftsmanship must be inherited." Yuan Xu said with a smile: "Only your father and son are still insufficient, and you need a hundred and ten craftsmen to say the least!" ”
The old jade craftsman was stunned: "How many sea fairy stones are in the hands of the son?" ”
"Don't hide it from my husband!" Ma Fei interjected: "The sea immortal stones obtained by the son are piled up, and one hundred and ten people are afraid that it will be insufficient." ”
Mountain......
Ma Fei's words made the old jade craftsman's mouth open wide, and he couldn't close it for a long time.
It is rare for others to want a piece, but this thing in Yuan Xu's hand is piled up......
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, the old jade craftsman said: "In Xuzhou, there have always been some people who go to the north to look for jade, but the little old man knows a few, but he is not in the city......"
"As many people as there are, they can use everything." Yuan Xu said: "Annoying old man, tell the craftsman where he lives, and someone will send someone to find it." ”
"The war is in chaos, but I know where to live, but I don't know how many people are still at home." The old jade craftsman said: "Since it is entrusted by the son, the little old man should do his best!" ”
"There's Lao Lao!"
Sending away the old jade craftsman's father and son, Ma Fei said to Yuan Xu: "The craftsman has been found, and it won't be long before the son will make a fortune!" ”
"Rich?" Yuan Xu said with a smile: "Getting rich is only secondary, you don't know how to use crystal." On the battlefield, he can make you and others clairvoyant, and the enemy's every move is under control, so why not be invincible? ”
Ma Fei was dazed.
Although the crystal was clear, he couldn't understand how this thing could make every move of the enemy in front of him.
Patting him on the shoulder, Yuan Xu said: "It is still necessary to use this thing to make money, otherwise how can you feed the army?" Soldiers eat meat and drink wine, how can they procure? Just make money, you can't! I can't either! Dong Gong still has to do it! ”
"That's what Childe said!" Ma Fei responded.
Cao's army retreated to Yuzhou, and there was no war in Xuzhou.
The so-called too peaceful, people will be in turmoil.
No matter what the era, there will always be some people who are not satisfied with the status quo.
Yuan Xu ordered that the land in Xuzhou be distributed, and many soldiers who had served in the Tianhai battalion were assigned to various places because they did not meet the requirements of the army.
When these people arrive in the locality, they will inevitably have friction with the interests of the aborigines.
The indigenous people, who once had no land at all, were looking forward to more and did not want to build a new village next to their village.
The land that I thought would be allotted to them was divided into a large part by these new villagers.
Some people don't think that they got the land because of Yuan Xu's stationing, but think that the new villagers have robbed them of their interests.
Contradictions gradually emerge, and with the passage of time, they will eventually erupt! (To be continued.) )
