Chapter 15 Investments in Vepula
[Thank you for the monthly pass rewarded by "dongjialin"!!] Thank you very much, you don't have to worry about getting zero eggs this month......]
If the black-hearted eagle had watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he would have thought that there was a "Luofeng Slope" in it, so he should run away.
It's a pity that the person who wrote this book was not born yet!
At this moment, his younger brother made a new discovery: "Boss, there are still some small words on this board. ”
The black-hearted eagle is a very cautious person, even if he is very curious about what is written on the board, but when this black light is blinding, he will not leave the protection of the human wall: "You go and see what is written on it?" ”
The henchman who had been named ran over with a torch in his hand, and the writing on the board was relatively small, and he had to move the torch closer, unbeknownst to him, that the flame of his own torch had ignited a thick and inconspicuous rope.
"Boss, don't dare to say it!" After reading the small print, the minion returned to the black-hearted eagle and looked at him in fear.
"What is my mother-in-law doing? If there's a fart, let it go! The black-hearted eagle roared in annoyance.
"Then I said don't hit me......"
"Say!"
"Black-hearted eagles, gutless rats, offended my Great Song Dynasty, and I am buried here!"
"Bold!" The black-hearted eagle slapped the minions.
The minion held his face and said aggrievedly: "It's not a small thing, it's all written on the wooden card......"
Suddenly, a breeze blew, and a pungent smell came into the nostrils of the black-hearted eagle: "Do you smell anything strange?" ”
The minions twitched their nostrils vigorously, and sure enough, there was a strange smell wafting in the air, everyone searched around, and a guy with a more sensitive nose followed the smell and found a smoking rope: "Boss, I'll look for ......"
Thundered......
A continuous explosion suddenly sounded, and the minions turned into a rain of flesh with his unfinished words.
The Blackheart Eagle and his men were not spared, and they were all overturned to the ground, stumps scattered all over the ground.
After a while, everything was quiet, oh no, there was still one person a**!
Perhaps it was the caution of the black-hearted eagle that allowed him to save his life, dozens of mines did not kill him, and he was able to survive against the buffer of the human wall.
"Yo he! The saint said that good people don't live long and leave a thousand years of scourge, which is really ha! This can't kill you, so you can see that you are really a big scourge! Ding Zhaohui led people to clean up the battlefield, and found that the culprit had not yet died, so he pulled his head with a branch.
When the other team members heard this, they all burst into laughter and looked at this guy who was about to die. It's this thing that hurt everyone who ran so far, if they really blew him up directly, everyone would think it would be boring, and they wouldn't be able to enjoy the pleasure of abuse at all!
If it weren't for the addiction of bombing, everyone would rather choose to send them on the road one by one with crossbow arrows.
"You...... You're here...... Who the hell is it? The black-hearted eagle didn't figure out the biggest doubt in his heart, and he was reluctant to breathe.
"Didn't you just write on the board!" Guilty of my Great Song Dynasty, buried here today' I don't understand this? ”
"No...... No way! ”
"Nothing impossible, remember when you beat me up last winter about the idea of the Great Song Mission? It doesn't matter if you remember it or not, my emperor said that those who dare to offend my Great Song Tianwei will be punished even if they are far away! ”
"Just a few people, do you need to mobilize the people?" The black-hearted eagle asked depressedly.
"Is there any need, it doesn't matter if you say it, I won't talk nonsense with you, I'll send you to reunite with your subordinates now!" Ding Zhaohui slowly pulled out his waist knife and rested it on the neck of the black-hearted eagle.
"Wait......" Blackheart Hawk hurriedly shouted.
Ding Zhaohui has never been an obedient master, his hand rose and fell, and he quickly cut off the head of the black-hearted eagle, and there was not a drop of blood on the knife.
After cleaning up the battlefield, leaving behind a corpse in a place, it will not be long before it will become the food of the beasts, and finally it will be turned into fertilizer, when it will be their only contribution to this place in this life.
Ding Zhaohui also took his team on the way home.
——————————————————————————
Since the convoy that sent the money set off from the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, Wei Pu has been going back and forth in the classrooms, dormitories, and libraries every day, and as long as he has spare time, he stays in the library and paints a whole mess.
Of course, the word "scribble" was said by Bao Nimei, just because he was constantly drawing there and didn't have time to play with him. But Wei Puke thinks that his painting is very interesting, and he plans to do it in his heart.
"Whew...... It's finally done! Wei Pu stood up from the library table and stretched.
His action alarmed Bao Nimei, who was sleeping on the side, she squinted at these eyes, rubbed them with both hands, and muttered, "Brother Park, are you done painting?" ”
"Well, it's done!" Wei Pu looked at his work and nodded with satisfaction.
"So what are we going to do next?" Bao Nimei didn't feel embarrassed at all when she said this, she accompanied herself throughout the whole process, well, sleeping next to her was also an accompaniment, which also has her own credit, isn't it!
"Next......" Wei Pu said, and fell into a tangle.
"Brother Park, what's wrong? Don't frown! The emperor said that frowning is easy to get old, tell me something! Bao Nimei grabbed his arm and shook it.
"You? Oh...... I forgot, you still have a father who is a big official! Okay, even if this matter is ours, you will share half of the money you make! ”
"What's the matter? What's the money? Brother Park, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand? Bao Nimei fluttered two big eyes, and there were countless invisible big question marks on her head.
Wei Pu spread the picture he drew in front of Bao Nimei: "Look, this is what I have painted these days, if I make this thing, the people who move goods to the ship will not have to work so hard in the future, we can also sell it to those bosses, and earn some money to subsidize the family by the way......"
"Brother Park, you can do whatever you say, let's go get it out now!"
"Wait a minute......"
"What's wrong again?"
"We don't have any money!"
"That's it! Brother Park, don't worry, I'll go back and ask my dad for it! Bao Nimei put her legs and prepared to run.
Wei Pu grabbed her and dragged her back: "Since we make our own money, how can we ask your father for it!" However, I can go and talk to your dad and ask him to invest in us...... It's an investment, right? I remember that the emperor seemed to say so. ”
"Brother Park, you are so smart! Then let's go now! Bao Nimei looked up at him with a look of adoration and dragged him home.
Bao Zheng's home is located in the imperial city, a small courtyard, which is complete with facilities, in addition to antique houses, there is also a small garden with a rockery. Spring is a good time to bloom, open the door of Baofu, and there will be the fragrance of flowers.
"Daddy! Mother! I'm back! As soon as Wei Pu and Bao Nimei stepped into the courtyard, Bao Nimei shouted loudly.
"My daughter is back! How can I be willing to come back this time? A woman in her thirties, who was nearly thirty years old, rushed out of the house with joy, and saw that there was another person next to her daughter, and hurriedly stopped her feet: "Oh! Brother Wei is also here! Quick, inside please! ”
This woman is Bao Zheng's eldest wife Dong, Dong was born in the family of the eunuch, read and write since childhood, and has helped Bao Zheng a lot in his life. However, in the ten years since they got married, they only gave birth to a daughter like Bao Nimei, she felt sorry for Bao Zheng, the only seedling who was in a single line, and Zhang Luo married her dowry maid Zhang to her husband. It is precisely because Bao Nimei is the only child in the family that she is spoiled by her family, if it weren't for Bao Zheng's strict nature, this child doesn't know what to look like. In order to prevent his daughter from being spoiled by his two wives, Bao Zheng resolutely threw his daughter to the Royal Academy, let the teachers there take care of it, and responded to the emperor's call in the name of beauty.
"Aunt Xie!" Wei Pu bowed respectfully and saluted.
"Huh...... Get on board! Auntie, I'm going to cook for you! Dong touched Wei Pu's head lovingly.
At this time, Bao Zheng's little wife Zhang also ran out of the house: "Sister, I'll help you cook, Ni Mei go into the house quickly!" The meal will be ready soon! ”
"Mother, Erniang, where is my father?"
"He's in the study! Don't you like to stick to your father, why do you come back to him today? Dong smiled and teased his daughter.
"Mother, don't worry about it, go cook! We have a very important thing to do when we look for our father! Bao Nimei glanced at Wei Pu, and pushed Dong Shi in the direction of the kitchen with a red face.
"Puff ......," Zhang smiled as he hid his face.
"Erniang, don't laugh!" Bao Nimei said coquettishly.
"Good...... Erniang doesn't laugh, let's go play! ”
"Humph!" Bao Nimei snorted haughtily, declaring victory over the battle, and she went to find her father.
Bao Nimei knocked on the door of the study unusually, and when it was time to rest, she was used to using her feet instead of her hands.
"Come in!" Bao Zheng buried himself on the desk, and shouted without his head.
"Daddy, my daughter has come to see you!" Bao Nimei went in and threw herself on her father's back to be coquettish.
"Huh...... Dad was still wondering just now, when will our big witch of the Bao family knock on the door, and I thought it was the college teacher who disciplined me well, but it turned out that Brother Wei was also there! Bao Zheng smiled and pulled his daughter off her back, pulled her down and looked at it carefully, pointed to the chair next to her and said to Wei Pu: "Brother Wei, sit down!" ”
"Uncle Xie Bao!" Wei Pu still saluted first, and then sat down in an orderly manner.
"What's the matter with my father today?" Bao Zheng took his daughter's hand and asked.
"People can't come to see you if they're fine!"
"Yes, surely! You see it now, my father still has a lot of things to do, if it's okay, let's go play! Bao Zheng deliberately teased her, and made a face on the outside every day, so that he could laugh when he teased his daughter.
"Daddy~Daddy...... People want to make money! You just say you can't help it! "Is Bao Nimei lying back in front of Bao Zheng.
"Help...... Help, you must help, if you pull your father's hand again, you will tear it off! Go ahead! How much pocket money do you want this time? ”
"People are really going to make money this time! If you don't believe me, I'll let Brother Park tell you about ......"
Seeing this, Wei Pu hurriedly stepped up, took out a stack of drawings from his arms and spread them on Bao Zheng's desk, pointed to the drawings and explained to him: "Uncle Bao, look, this is the drawing of the thing we want to get." The one below is a four-meter-long square base with four wheels mounted on it that can be lifted and lowered to be dragged along if necessary. On top of this base was fixed a sturdy pillar with a height of five meters, and then on the outside of the pillar there was a sleeve, and at the top of the sleeve there was also a hinge, on which a long and sturdy stick was erected, and by the principle of the lever, it was possible to easily lift very heavy things. In order to further save effort, we use the combination of pulley and winch to pull the pulley block through the winch to complete the ......"
"Wait......" Although it was ungraceful to interrupt the young man's speech, Bao Zheng felt that he really couldn't understand: "What are the levers you talked about, as well as pulleys and whatever, they are all professors in your college, and I can't understand your Uncle Bao!" What the hell do you want to do? Need Uncle do something for you? ”
"Uh...... Here's the thing, I often see on the top of the academy hill that there are many people loading goods at the wharf on the Yellow River on the edge of our capital every day, and the number of cargo ships is increasing day by day, and I see that they are carrying too hard and slow every day, and sometimes the wharf is blocked. I wondered if I could get something to change this situation, and the emperor often taught us to apply what we learned, so I worked with Ni Mei to make this thing. But we'...... Not...... Money! Wei Pu said that he was a little embarrassed in the back.
"Oh, I see! It turns out that I asked for money after going around for a long time, so I'll get it for you! Bao Zheng suddenly realized.
"Uncle Bao, we don't want your money for nothing, we just want you to invest in us!" Wei Pu said seriously.
