Chapter 105: Can You Give Me Another Five Years?
The waves of the meeting are not alarmed, although there are occasional storms, they are just some snacks before the meal, just embellishment, who cares after the main meal.
As soon as the meeting ended, the envoys stationed in Kyrgyzstan from all over the country who got the news came separately and surrounded the conference room, which was not lively.
Wang Xuan immediately decided that if there was such an important meeting in the future, he would have to move to the third floor to see how many people could come up.
Due to the large number of people, the problem could not be solved on the spot, so Zhang Yun came forward to make a 'trust' trick and agreed to talk at the end of August.
Back in Xiangyuan, Sun didn't do anything, just waiting for him on the swing in the yard.
Wang Xuanzhen was worried that the two hemp ropes would not be able to bear his weight, and if he fell out of a bad situation, he would not have to rely on himself.
"My brother is back, that, let's talk in the book and talk in the study. ”
Sun slipped off the ground, and the lump followed Wang Xuan into the study like a shadow, making Wang Xuan look like a guest.
"This, I also know it's a little abrupt, but my brother is really thinking about it. Without waiting for Wang Xuan to sit down, Sun started the blowing mode.
"You see, our Xihe has made a reputation, and now I don't know how many people want to make a living in Xihe, although it is not as auspicious as you, but it is also the leader of the Great Xia. Now that you have a thing that glows at night and envy the world, if Xihe didn't have this thing, I'm afraid that this status would have dropped dramatically, you see......"
Wang Xuan understands it, he can't afford to be early, since he got acquainted with himself, he has reaped all kinds of benefits from his own hands, and the most strange thing is that he still takes it for granted, and never treats himself as an outsider.
Seeing that Sun was still chattering, his saliva was about to spray into his teacup, and he had to interrupt: "Stop, you listen to me first, the steam engine is auspicious, the generator is auspicious, the electric light is auspicious, everything is priceless, you can't say anything if you don't have any sincerity, right?" ”
Sun suddenly smiled and said: "Look at what you said, my old Sun is not that kind of person, we also know that these are rare things in the entire continent, and they must not be leaked out, so I asked you to send a team to be responsible for security, and I will come from the periphery, and I will cover the cost, double it." ”
Wang Xuan glanced up at Sun, knowing that although this product was sometimes unreliable, he had always been generous in spending money, and as long as he thought it was worth it, he would never be stingy.
"Let's talk about it!" Wang Xuan was a little moved.
Sun Shi continued: "Take a company as an example, starting with ten gold per month, clothing, food, housing and transportation are all treated according to the Xishan cabinet ministers. In addition, there are auspicious holidays, salaries are paid, and there are quarterly trips to the West Mountain. ”
When talking about the trip to the West Mountain, Sun's face was obscene.
Wang Xuan didn't have to think about it to know what the plan was for this product.
"Also, I can't afford your equipment, and you won't sell it, so let's rent it. Of course, in addition to your so-called depreciation expenses, I will give you another 10,000 gold coins per month. ”
Wang Xuan was noncommittal, poured out the water in the teacup, filled the cup again, and slowly drank it.
Seeing this, Sun knew that his price was low, so he said in a negotiated tone: "20,000, how about a monthly subsidy of 20,000?"
Wang Xuan still didn't answer.
Sun was entangled.
It is true that he loves electric lights that can shine at night, but if it is simply for the sake of emitting light at night, it will cost 350,000 yuan a month, and he will have to weigh whether it is worth it.
At this time, Wang Xuan spoke.
"If there is no risk of leakage, what if I give you a set? You also know that Great Xia used one of our artillery pieces to imitate their first generation of artillery, so I had to urgently mobilize an artillery battalion and an infantry regiment to rush to the front line. ”
Sun can understand Wang Xuan's mood, didn't he was also worried about the sunset, and the second leader of the day came to kill by the way, so he formed an alliance with Jixiang.
It's just that the benefits from gambling at the beginning are far beyond his imagination.
Not only him, but even the most optimistic people in Great Xia would not have thought that the auspicious leader, who was even difficult to survive at the beginning, would rise rapidly with such a thunderous momentum, and he didn't expect that after the rise, not only did he not stop, but he threw Great Xia farther and farther away.
What the word 'miracle' can describe.
Wang Xuan said clearly, if Xishan is not good, let Daxia get the technology, wouldn't Jixiang lose his wife and lose his soldiers.
Just like artillery, with the real thing, for this kind of first-generation machine with low gold content, it is not difficult to imitate Daxia, but the performance is not as auspicious.
Only then did Sun feel the seriousness of the matter.
He can't be blamed for this, the ass decides the head.
This is obtained by Ji Xiang's exhaustion of hard work, not only in the Xingyao Continent, but also in the world.
Just like auspicious goods, they are now selling brands, not just simple goods.
Like himself, almost all the food and clothing in the house are auspicious goods.
If there are relatives and friends who visit, it will be more face-saving to entertain them.
Goods with auspicious trademarks are synonymous with identity.
The more Sun thought about it, the lower his mood became, and he felt that the electric light was getting farther and farther away from him.
But even so, I was unwilling.
Since hugging Jixiang's thighs, the development of Xishan is on the fast track.
First, a trade center was built on the west side of the Xihe River in Hubei, so that Xishan's specialties could be marketed.
Then there is the express road from the Lord's Mansion to the Trade Center, which can now be reached in one day by the convenience of a horse-drawn carriage, and I don't know how much benefit it has made for Xishan.
Then there are the various factories invested and built by Jixiang, which provide nearly 10,000 jobs to Xishan on the one hand, not to mention the service industry and transportation industry.
Not only that, Xishan receives a soft hand from the mascot every year only by paying taxes, and then counting the mascots who like exquisite life on weekdays, what is the lack of food and clothing?
So even if many people privately commented that Xishan was a good father, saying that the mascot was stupid and raised a discontented white-eyed wolf, the Sun family never wavered in his determination to cling.
In view of this, it was a bit difficult for him to give up the electric light.
It's like when I was a child, my parents would try their best to satisfy whatever I wanted, but when one day my parents didn't buy the toys I wanted, I couldn't help but make a fuss.
The Sun family is also in a dilemma now, although the family has a big business, but also lacks money.
Not only Zhao Shengrui is learning auspiciousness, but he is also following the trend.
doesn't have as much money as auspicious, so he will have a general attack, that is, the beggar version.
Great Xia has never been peaceful, if it weren't for the auspicious cover, I'm afraid that the two leaders of the sun and the sunset would have come to conquer early.
Therefore, he has a strong sense of crisis and wants to replicate miracles according to the template of auspicious growth.
The internal and external environment of Xishan today is much stronger than the auspiciousness of the past, which is why Sun has this ambition.
After struggling in his heart for a while, he seemed to make up his mind and said: "Brother, you say, as long as my brother can do it, I will give my daughter to you." ”
Wang Xuan felt a chill in his heart when he heard this.
Xindao, it has been several years since I wanted to marry my little daughter, and if I was to marry well, I am afraid that I would have married a long time ago, so why wait until now.
It's good now, I still want to kill two birds with one stone, and the beauty is boundless.
"Stop, get down to business. Wang Xuan didn't want to listen to him float down anymore.
"Then do you say? ”
Wang Xuan said: "With a monthly rent of 50,000 yuan, I will send a battalion over, and all their expenses will be borne by Xishan, and if there is danger, the equipment will be blown up directly." ”
Sun gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, it's up to you." ”
Wang Xuan saw that he looked like he had lost three catties of meat and said with a smile: "I will connect the entire Xihe Town to electricity, and you will pay for coal, water, maintenance and maintenance." ”
Sun was overjoyed, "When I come out, we will come out...... Brother, are you really my own brother who has disappeared for many years?"
Without saying anything, Sun used his fat palms to instantly grab Wang Xuan's right hand and rub it incessantly.
Where could Wang Xuan stand this, he reflexively pulled back, his hand was withdrawn, and the whole person fell straight back, which frightened the Sun family.
Fortunately, there was a carpet, and Wang Xuan's back was only a little painful from the stool, but the others were fine.
"Next time, don't think about anything!" Wang Xuan was a little angry.
Sun Shi was immediately annoyed, and hurriedly swore that next time he would cut off these hands by himself, and Wang Xuan would no longer pursue it.
"If you think about it, it's not a small amount of money just for maintenance and upkeep. Wang Xuan also reminded Sun very morally.
Sun is not stupid, and said a little let go: "As long as my brother doesn't deceive me, even if it costs 100,000 yuan a month, I won't frown." ”
What else could Wang Xuan say, so the matter was settled.
Jixiang is only responsible for lighting and electricity, and does not care about anything else.
For example, a spy stole a light bulb, cut a wire, and dug a pole has nothing to do with Jixiang, as long as Sun pays for it, Jixiang will maintain it in time.
It's a sure-fire deal.
As for technical plagiarism?
Let's build the electric light first.
Although Sun felt that he was fifty percent sure that he could do it before he came, he still inevitably felt agitated after becoming a man now, so he said to Wang Xuan very sincerely: "Brother, I left you a house by the West River, a courtyard with three entrances, and the backyard goes straight to the private dock by the West River. I know that you like to be quiet, so that area is very suitable for self-cultivation, it is a good land, surrounded by some flowers and trees, and there is only one family. ”
As he spoke, Sun took out a title deed from the men's leather bag of Jixiang's property and handed it to Wang Xuan with both hands.
Wang Xuan didn't want it at first, it would be good to go to Xihe once, and it would be a bit of a waste to have a house that he might be able to live in a few times in his life.
Besides, I don't want to owe this favor in vain, so I don't know how much I have to pay it back.
But seeing that Sun was so solemn, he couldn't bear it, so he pushed the boat down the river and took it.
"Your house is next door to me, let's rub mahjong if it's okay, Meidi is very!"
Hearing Sun's words, Wang Xuan almost threw the title deed in his face in his face, so he decided that as long as Sun was in Xihe, he would not step into the house for half a step.
After sending away the Sun family, Wang Xuan thought about Cao Wanglai again.
It has been delayed for several months, what kind of crisis and difficulties have been encountered that will make the fleet, which has experience in circumnavigating the continent and has experienced life and death several times, fall into a situation where it has no home to return to?
At this point, Wang Xuan still did not believe that the fleet would be completely annihilated.
Even he didn't know where this confidence came from, maybe it was experience, maybe it was conceit, but it was the confidence of a mystery.
In his opinion, as long as Cao Wang and the others are not bent on death, at least the news can still be transmitted back.
Worried about the life and death of Cao Wang's fleet, Wang Xuan was not in the mood to see the envoys who only wanted to take advantage, so he handed it over to Zhang Yun to deal with it with full authority, and he held his daughter on the swing and slowly swayed in the wind.
Xiao Wang Jing in her arms was already asleep, and her black and long eyelashes flickered from time to time.
Looking at his daughter, Wang Xuan felt a burst of satisfaction.
Just when he was looking for his daughter to look like him and Qing'er, Yang Wei rushed into the courtyard in a panic, causing the secret guard to almost shoot.
"What's the matter, so flustered?" Wang Xuan was a little displeased, worried about Jing'er.
"Your Majesty, Cao Wang, they are back. ”
With just this sentence, Wang Xuan put all the unhappiness behind him, stretched out his hand and beckoned to the garden, and the nurse hurried over, carefully took Jing'er from his hand, and went back to the house.
"Say, what's going on. Wang Xuan couldn't wait, he really wanted to know who his opponent was.
Yang Wei couldn't care about the dry mouth caused by running fast, and gasped: "It's the sixth, and the news came from the sixth, saying that my fleet going north to Hu Yue encountered an interception when it returned home......"
"What?"
Wang Xuan, who had already walked to the study, was angry and patted the case, shaking the teacup and clanging, "There are still people who dare to intercept the auspicious battleship, don't they think that our ship's guns are unfavorable?"
Suddenly, the anger was pervasive, and the hot sweat on Yang Wei's body instantly cooled down, and he suddenly felt cold.
"Yes, no, it's an outsider, not a person from the Star Continent. ”
Seeing Yang Wei say this, Wang Xuan was even more calm, could it be that the people with lust eyes were found?
This was Wang Xuan's first thought.
"Where's the secret letter?"
He had to see the secret letter before he could tell the truth from the fake.
It's not that he doesn't believe Yang Wei, he is a novice after all, and some of the doors are not as familiar as Yang Tao.
Yang Wei handed the letter to Wang Xuan.
After a glance and ten lines, Wang Xuan's heart gradually sank, this is God who can't get along with auspiciousness.
If Cao Wang's fleet hadn't sunk itself, it should still be fighting the enemy near the sea at this time, but did it have winter clothes on board?
The letter said that the fleet was attacked by an unknown fleet on its return voyage.
It's a Semu man, and that's very clear in the letter.
Due to the large strength of the opponent, nearly a hundred warships rushed towards his three ships, which immediately frightened them stupidly.
After relieving himself, the enemy ships had blocked his southward passage.
The east side is full of white sails and blue sea, densely packed, making people feel powerless.
Through the information feedback monitored by the lookout, I saw the people on the other ship, either black or white, without exception.
Cao Wang, who knew the details of the Southern Continent, guessed somewhat, and in order to prevent the Bay Area from being affected, he gathered all the personnel to take turns to fight, and used the power generated by the paddle wheel to go north against the wind, attracting the enemy over, and trying not to let them find the Bay Area too early.
At the same time, due to the disparity in strength, Cao Wang selected the first batch of ten-person commandos half a month after going north.
The purpose is very clear, that is, to report what is happening as soon as possible, so that Your Majesty, the military and the government can prepare.
The first batch of ten people were all intercepted and killed by the opposing sailors.
It's just that the distance between the two sides is too close, there are only three ships, where is there any cover, even if you throw a sundry, you are afraid that the other party will find out.
As a last resort, Cao Wang had to give up everything and urge the patinera to the north with all his might, to distance himself from the pursuers behind, and then he had time and space to go ashore to the west.
More than ten days have passed, and only two of the ten people in this wave have survived the cold sea and barely made it to the shore.
With the help of the well-meaning people of the Western Zhou Dynasty, only one person barely survived.
Eventually, after the sailor mortgaged his silver identity badge, he hired a beggar who seemed trustworthy to deliver the letter to a pawn office in Jixiang in the Western Zhou Dynasty.
The guy didn't care at first, but when he accidentally found the mark on the head while sorting out the things, he quickly informed the shopkeeper.
So the shopkeeper spent a lot of money overnight and hired a carriage to rush to Hu Yue.
After several storms, after rushing to the Xingyao River, he spent a lot of money to hire a passenger ship with three complete certificates, all the way south along the river, and finally arrived at Jixiang.
Wang Xuan looked at the simple language on the letter again, experiencing the hardship and helplessness, and the hand holding the letter paper became tighter and tighter, until the not too long nails pierced the skin of the palm, and the bright red blood beads fell down the lower edge of the palm, making a ticking sound before gradually coming back to his senses.
Qing'er covered the quilt for Xiao Wang Jing, and when she heard the nurse say that His Majesty's expression was different, she was uneasy, so she paced quickly, and happened to see the picture of Wang Xuan's palm dripping blood, so she rushed into the study regardless of it, tore off the letter in Wang Xuan's hand, and carefully observed the wound on his hand.
Wang Xuan let Qing'er toss, his heart was no longer here.
After Qing'er found the medicine box and stopped the wound in his palm, Wang Xuancai said very seriously to Qing'er's worried face: "Can you give me five years, just five years, no matter what, we will not be separated after five years." ”
Qing'er's worried face turned white in an instant, and even Wang Xuan couldn't accept it.
It was a white he had never seen before, a bloodless white.
