Chapter 9 Thunder's First Attempt (3)
And Liu Tingmei soon understood the weight of this sentence.
On the second day, Liu Tingmei and Cao Wenqi respectively received an invitation from Zheng Yunming, who was about to leave for Lao Yashan, and invited them to have another banquet at the wine shop near the pier.
"Liu Weng!" Zheng Yunming saw Liu Tingmei arrive and said happily: "This time, thanks to Liu Weng's righteous help, he and Cao Weng acted out a bitter plan, otherwise where would Zheng Yunming's affairs go so smoothly?" Please come to your seat and be bowed by Zheng Yunming. ”
"No, no," Liu Tingmei hurriedly waved his hand to refuse: "The chief manager is the official of the state, the commander of the army, he must have his own majesty, Tingmei is reckless in Jinghu, and he can't stand such a big gift." ”
What's more, it's always this old Cao who begged Liu one day, and said that the chief manager is benevolent and righteous, and he is slightly outstanding. Lao Liu was also worn out by this black guy, so he came to pretend to be such a black face. ”
Cao Wenqi glared at Liu Tingmei: "Let you have the opportunity to get to know Zheng Guanren, that's your blessing, how can all the good things be taken by you, but let me be this harlequin,"
"It's okay," Zheng Yunming said with a smile: "No matter what, it's Zheng's blessing, first befriended Cao Weng in Ezhou, and then met Liu Weng here in Xiangyang." With the help of the two, in the words of the history books, it is described as 'like a fish in water', Zheng first drank this cup as a tribute to the two heroes. ”
As he spoke, he picked up the cup from the table, drank it dry, and beckoned the two to sit down.
"After meeting Zhao Zhizhi, I will go back to the camp immediately." Zheng Yunming opened his mouth and said, "The main reason for inviting the two of you here is to express your gratitude. Liu Weng has made a great contribution this time, and it is not a simple participation in dividends that can be rewarded. ”
Liu Tingmei was a little angry: "If Liu is just trying to make a few dollars to help the manager, he will really regard Liu as a philistine." ”
"That's not the intention. Dividends are official matters, and Yunming is a private friendship. Liu Weng helped me in my most difficult time, although he lived up to the name of Sai Mengwei. But Yun Ming must not be cheeky and quietly put away this kindness. Received a drop of water, and then when the spring report, but unfortunately I have no capital in my hands now, and I want to repay the spring is helpless. There is a little thing here, it is regarded as a dripping report to Liu Weng, please Liu Weng must accept it. ”
He took out a green cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Liu Tingmei. Liu Tingmei humbly said a few words, took the package and opened it, and it turned out to be a book inside.
Just reading the title, I was already taken aback. When he unfolded the scroll and read it carefully, the more he read, the more surprised he became. I couldn't help but ask, "Are all the methods written here really feasible?" ”
"I verified them one by one when I was in Lin'an." Zheng Yunming nodded and said, "All of them are feasible." ”
Liu Tingmei suddenly became suspicious: "How did the manager get this book?" As far as I know, this thing needs to be made of Kunlun Mountain colorful crystal as the base material, and it can be quenched through a series of extremely complex processes, which has never appeared in the world like this method in the book. ”
Cao Wenqi took the book from Liu Tingmei's hand, and there was really a line of small characters on the cover.
"As you know, there are many shops in Lin'an. In order to make a windfall, many poor families often take risks to go abroad to sell treasures. Some people have successfully returned and become very rich, so they have made a career selling goods. I know such a person in Lin'an. Zheng Yunming made up the story very seriously, as if it was true: "This person once crossed the sea to the far west, where people are proficient in the method of making glass. In order to learn the method of manufacturing, he dressed himself as a Tibetan person, and studied the Tibetan dialect for another three years before he took the risk of pretending to be a local citizen to infiltrate the workshop, experience the method of glass manufacturing, and return to Middle-earth after learning. In Lin'an, he secretly made glass and became very rich. When I met him, he was nearly seventy years old, and he knew that his life was short, and because he had an old relationship with his old husband, he dictated it, and I copied it, and passed it on to me as a gift. Today, it was transferred to Liu Weng, but it was just a flower offering to the Buddha, and the prosthetic hand was just an adult beauty. ”
Liu Tingmei was only skeptical when she heard it, but Lin'an Mansion was indeed full of businessmen, and Zheng Yunming's words couldn't find anything wrong.
"Do you know how much this method is worth?" Liu Tingmei thought of the future situation, and couldn't help but tremble slightly with excitement: "If you can really quench the glass from the river sand, you can get ten thousand yuan if you sell it, this is the real book of ten thousand profits." Make good use of this method, and within five years, no, sit on a million within three years, what is it so strange? ”
"I know it." Zheng Yunming's expression was flat, as if he was talking about a trivial matter of a hundred yuan: "If there is time later, Yunming will definitely handle this matter himself, why can't he raise 5,000 people with this method?" But the situation is critical, the Mongols are already in the army, I don't have the energy to toss any more glass, so I simply gave this method to Liu Weng to reward the virtue of donating grain. ”
Cao Wenqi said enviously: "Lao Liu can have such benefits if he has 30,000 guan, then I can also have 20,000 guan"
"There must be a share of Cao Weng." Zheng Yunming said and beckoned Zheng Yi to come over, and took out another book from the baggage, the title of which was "Secret Enamel Making Method".
Cao Wenqi was puzzled: "What is this?" ”
"Enamel is a big food kiln." Liu Tingmei said: "I once saw one in the Imperial Mansion, which is worth more than 50,000 yuan. It is said that this kind of thing was trafficked by the merchants from the Great Food Country, and Middle Earth has been unable to manufacture it in a law, so it is a strange thing to live in. ”
"But from now on, the only one who can live in strange goods is you Cao Weng." Zheng Yunming also advised: "The demand for gold, silver and copper for the manufacture of this gold, silver and enamel ware is very large, if Cao Weng wants to make a fortune in peace, he must not drink the mines of Ezhou to conflict again." ”
"But these two treasure books of wealth were obtained from the chief for no reason. Liu was still uneasy. Zheng Yunming's generosity made Liu Tingmei feel uncomfortable, "Why don't you still let the officials share dividends in proportion to their annual profits?" ”
"I'm not going to do this stuff." Zheng Yunming waved his hand and said: "I was born to be a hard account, since everyone is already a close friend, what is there to be reluctant to do with just two books?" I believe that in the future, if I am short of money, Liu Weng and Cao Weng will definitely not sit idly by. Zheng Yunming's words were righteous and awe-inspiring, and Liu Tingmei could only complain in her heart: no matter how big the accounts are, they can always be calculated clearly, and what they are most afraid of in life is the accounts that cannot be calculated.
Cao Wenqi said indifferently: "Brother Liu is too worried, Zheng Guanren is a reasonable person, we will only have endless benefits to follow him in the future, where will there be losses." ”
Although this black and reckless man is rude in words, he does not lack thoughts. Zheng Yunming even thought that if they were enemies of each other, he was afraid that this fierce Zhang Fei would be even more difficult to deal with than Liu Tingmei.
"Let's have a few more rounds of wine." Cao Wenqi shouted: "Dr. Wine! Fight the triangle again! ”
Zheng Yunming hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Yunming has to go to Xiangyang Mansion Market on a business trip in the afternoon. You can't drink too much wine. ”
Liu Cao and the others said strangely: "What is the manager going to the market to do in person?" ”
"I want to buy wood." Zheng Yunming's answer didn't look like he was joking at all: "The wood used to build the house." ”
The Tulong Army received the first official order from the commander-in-chief of the army. It was to send 1,000 sergeants to Yanjia Village, which was fifty miles away.
No one knows what this seemingly humble and polite and sometimes tough and formidable general has in his heart. Wang Deng gave an order, and the men of the two battalions were assembled one after another.
"The first time I was ordered to go out, I'd better take a trip." Lu Xunzhi picked up the sword and was about to leave.
"Whatever you say, you still have to wait here for the weapons and armor from Xiangyang Mansion to arrive." Wang Deng said: "This is the most important thing at the moment, our army is all young boys, only you and Old Man Ge are the treasures of the town army, and Old Man Ge has already gone to urge the transportation of grain and grass." You still have to press the battle for this weapon. ”
Lu Xunzhi nodded and asked casually, "What about Yang Yu?" Why don't you see others? ”
Wang Deng snorted: "I went to the Jingmen Market to drink in the morning." Once this man is gone, no one will be able to control him anymore. ”
"So what does it matter?" Lu Xunzhi said meaningfully: "Jing Song, you are still young after all, and one day you will realize that life can have different choices." is like Zhu Fuzi's heavenly principles and extinguishing people's desires, everyone has become a saint, what is it like to be alive? Only by following one's own good thoughts from the heart can one be a free person. ”
His family history of mental learning, with Wang Deng's young knowledge, cannot argue with him. Wang Deng could only change his words: "I plan to go to Yanjia Village in person." ”
"You're still in charge of the affairs of the First Army." Zhu Sheng walked over and saluted to the two bosses: "The chief manager doesn't think there is anything particularly important, otherwise he will definitely appoint you or Lord Yang to lead the army." This time, I'll lead the team over. ”
Wang Deng nodded: "The analysis is good, you guys should go." ”
When Zhu Sheng arrived at Yanjia Village with the army, it was already early afternoon. From a distance, I saw Zheng Yunming waiting at the entrance of the village with a group of people.
"The training is good, and in the past few days, these untrained soldiers can walk fifty miles of mountain roads in such a short time." In Zheng Yunming's view, this achievement is very rare in this era. "Set up camp here today, don't disturb the people's homes, and start doing business tomorrow."
"I still don't know what your dispatch is?"
Zheng Yunming led Zhu Sheng to the village's barn floor, where towering timbers were neatly stacked.
"Bringing this wood back to the camp is your first mission."
The corners of Zhu Sheng's mouth moved, and he stopped talking.
Zheng Yunming keenly captured the change in his demeanor, patted Zhu Sheng's shoulder and said: "You and I are old friends, you don't have to speak in a hurry, do you think that I am using soldiers to build a private house for myself?" ”
