Zhao Zhen left with great satisfaction, leaving Fan Ning to reward the Kunzhou firearms maker.

Fanning was still on the firearms test site to check the effects of the explosion, the door of the test site was opened, the craftsmen swarmed in, everyone heard a violent explosion, but the Son of Heaven was present, they were not allowed to enter, now they were allowed to enter, everyone scrambled to squeeze into the test site.

On the test site, a ten-zhang long section of the city wall has completely disappeared, this section of the city wall is made of large bluestone, which is taller and stronger than the eastern city, but under the impact of two iron fire and thunder, it has been swept to the ground, leaving only a piece of gravel and mud and sand.

Even Fan Ning was secretly frightened, they didn't build a city in Kunzhou for experiments, he didn't expect the shock wave of the iron fire thunder to be so powerful, and completely blew up the city wall, of course, the premise is to dig a hole in the city wall and put the iron fire thunder in the city wall to blast, so that it will have an effect.

Of course, any civilization has an evolutionary process, and the firearms of the Song Dynasty are the same, if the Song Dynasty did not accumulate a sufficient firearms base, even if Fanning invented again, the craftsmen might not be able to make them.

It is precisely because of the evolution of paper and porcelain fire mines, as well as the large number of experiments carried out for the development of iron fire mines, that gunpowder and firearms craftsmen can deeply understand the principles proposed by Fanning to create iron fire mines.

This can perfectly create iron fire thunder, and the yield is extremely high.

At this time, Zhang Wenjin stepped forward and sighed: "Everyone knows that the power of the Iron Fire Thunder is much stronger than the Porcelain Fire Thunder, but how could they not imagine that the power is so powerful. ”

"Zhang Dujian now understands why the Son of Heaven refuses to put the iron fire thunder in the capital to make it!"

Zhang Wenjin nodded, "How could I not understand, the Liao State has already obtained the firearms technology of the Song Dynasty, a few years later than us, and the Western Xia also has porcelain fire mines, but whether it is paper fire thunder or porcelain fire thunder, the power is too small, they all disdain it, but rockets are widely used, if they learn that the iron fire thunder appears, the power is so powerful, then they will definitely get the iron fire thunder technology at any cost and means, for the Great Song Dynasty, which is mainly based on city defense, it is really a catastrophe." ”

Fan Ning was silent for a moment and said: "It's rare that the Son of Heaven is so calm and rational, this is the luck of the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

.........

The Iron Fire Thunder Test is over, and Fanning's main business is basically over, leaving him to busy himself with his own business.

Returning from the Firearms Bureau, Fanning first came to the Zhumen Inn near the Xinqiao in the inner city.

Zhumen Inn is Zhu Yuanfeng's industry, there are three in the capital, quite famous in the industry, belongs to the high-end inn, in addition to a three-story wooden building, there are six single courtyards.

The officials and more than a dozen subordinates who came back with Fanning this time all lived here, and three separate courtyards were arranged for them in the inn, and they were very comfortable to eat and lod.

Fan Ning came to the inn and found Yang Xian, the chief officer, Fan Ning looked at the elegantly arranged courtyard, and asked with a smile: "How have you been living in the past two days?" ”

"Back to the envoy, everyone eats well, lives well, and is very satisfied!"

Fanning nodded and said, "Gather everyone together, I have something to say!" ”

After a while, everyone gathered in the courtyard, Yang Xian looked at it, and said to Fan Ning: "Envoy, basically all of them are here." ”

Fan Ning said to everyone: "Today my business is over, there is still a month to go, if you want to go home, you can go home to visit relatives, the fleet will depart on April 26, as long as everyone arrives in Jiangdu before April 25, in addition, the Son of Heaven will reward some colored satin, everyone has a share, go back and let Director Yang share it with you, and at the same time I will give everyone 20 taels of silver per person as a way to go home and entangle, buy something to see your parents, wife and children!" ”

Fan Ning's words made everyone can't help cheering, Fan Ning instructed Yang Xian to say a few words, give him a token, and ask him to take a few people to Zhu Ji Money Shop to receive the colored satin silver taels, and arrange his subordinates, Fan Ning then went to the Strange Stone Pavilion.

Now Fan Ning no longer needs to hire an ox cart to do foot power, Zhu Yuanfeng gave him the wide and gorgeous carriage, of course, Fan Ning is only temporarily borrowed, and when he returns to Kunzhou, this carriage will still be placed on Zhu Yuanfeng's mansion.

The carriage was very wide, and it was like sitting on a wide sofa on a soft seat, many times more comfortable than sitting on a small bench in an ox cart, Fanning looked at the lively street outside through the curtain on the window, and for some reason, he suddenly began to miss Kunzhou, that young and vigorous land.

The day before yesterday, when Fan Ning came to the Strange Stone Pavilion, the second uncle went out, and Fan Ning, as the major shareholder of the Strange Stone Pavilion, didn't even enter the door.

Fan Tiege was in the store today, and as soon as he walked to the door, he heard Fan Tiege's voice, "I have already asked clearly, the Amber Wood Auction will line up early the day after tomorrow to get the number, everyone will go to line up tomorrow afternoon, take turns to change the guard, this time we must not return empty-handed like last time." ”

Fan Ning smiled dumbly, the second uncle is really interesting, he doesn't know that his son is still worried about what to do with Amberwood?

In the store, six guys lined up, Fan Tiege was giving them a lecture, Fan Ning walked in the door and said with a smile: "Second uncle, let me tell you something!" ”

"Aha! You're finally back, you stinky boy. ”

I haven't seen him for two years, and Fan Ning found that the second uncle should be renamed Fan Tiezhu, who looks round like a big meat ball, and has gained at least twenty pounds.

Fan Tiege jumped forward, hugged his nephew, rubbed his hair and smiled, "What do you want to tell me?" ”

Fan Ning smiled and said: "This time Mingren brought back more than 300 amber trees, he doesn't know what to do with it, the second uncle will find a market for him!" ”

There was a burst of laughter in the store, and the guys all turned their heads to cover their mouths and laughed, Fan Tiege was so angry that his face was flushed, and he waved his hand, "You are all scattered!" ”

The guys were all busy, and Fan Tiege said angrily: "For the sake of this amber, I begged my father everywhere to tell my grandmother, but I didn't expect Mingren, a stinky boy, to tease his father like this, and go back to clean him up." ”

"Akihito came back last year, didn't you ask him to bring some with him? Amber wood is a Kunzhou specialty, so it shouldn't be difficult for the second uncle, right? ”

Fan Tiege said stupidly: "Who made your side uninformed, he was already gone when I thought about this last year." ”

"It'll be fine in the future, Kunzhou will soon open an official pigeon letter, and the second uncle can give a word if he needs to."

Fan Tiege frowned, "Could it be that the two of them still refuse to come back?" ”

Fan Ning didn't want to say anything, so he smiled and said, "Akihito will enter Beijing in two days, and the second uncle will ask him himself!" ”

Fanning didn't say more, came directly to the newly expanded store, the old shop and the new store next door did not completely become one, there was still half a wall in the middle, the first floor of the old shop is still selling Taihu stone, but the other half of the new shop is selling Shoushan stone, of course, not selling general Shoushan stone, all are good frozen stones, like peach blossom frozen stone, hibiscus frozen stone and lychee frozen stone, etc., there are all here, carved into a variety of people, animals and trees and flowers, basically fist-sized ornaments, This is also the reason why the volume of frozen stone is generally not large.

At this time, Fan Ning suddenly found that there was a four-fan screen placed against the wall, which was made of very precious ebony wood as the base wooden frame, and the main body of the screen was four pieces of Shoushan frozen stone, which were snow-white like mutton fat and jade, and the peach blossoms on it were dotted, like peach blossom petals blown by the wind, which was particularly beautiful.

Fan Tiege stepped forward and said with a smile: "This is the treasure of our town store, a large peach blossom jelly stone found at the beginning of last year, and then cut into four pieces, just to make this screen, Empress Dowager Liu's nephew offered 10,000 yuan to buy it, but we didn't agree." ”

Fan Tiege patted Fan Ning on the shoulder again, "This is the wedding gift given to you by the store!" ”

Fan Ning hurriedly waved his hand, "This is the treasure of the town store, I can't ask for it." ”

Fan Tiege smiled: "You and Apei's people together account for eighty percent of the store, this store is yours, why can't you ask for it?" ”

"A shop is a shop, and a member is a part, these are two different things."

Fan Tiege said again: "In fact, the store is also a treasure of the town store, and I hope you can agree." ”

Fanning was stunned, "Promise what?" ”

Fan Tiege took out a piece of Taihu Lake Stone and asked with a smile, "Do you remember it?" ”

Fanning's eyes widened, and he blurted out, "This is my Stream and Mountain Travel Stone!" ”

This Taihu Lake stone is the Xishan Travel Stone he gave to Zhu Yuanfu, and the base is made of rosewood underneath, Fan Ning was puzzled: "Isn't this in the hands of Old Man Zhu?" ”

"This is given to you by Zhu Daguan, temporarily placed here for the time being, I feel that it is much higher than the taste of the peach blossom jelly stone screen, and it just so happens that there is a copy of the travel map of the mountains and streams in the store, and I want to display it in the store as a treasure of the town hall."

Fanning thought for a moment and said, "So be it! Whether it's a peach blossom jelly stone screen, or a Xishan travel stone, it's all mine, but I display them in the store, and if someone wants to buy them, they have an excuse. ”

Fan Tiege smiled happily: "This method is good, just deal with it like this, and save us from having to explain to the guests how many people want to buy this peach blossom frozen stone screen, and now there is finally a reason." ”

"How is Tian Huangshi?"

Fan Ning asked with a smile: "Why doesn't the second uncle talk about what I care about the most!" ”

"It's hard to say this, let's go upstairs and talk about it!"

Fanning went up to the second floor, and the two rooms on the second floor had been connected into one, turning into a large and spacious lobby, and a room was separated from the back, for the men on duty to sleep at night, and the courtyard behind was also built into a warehouse, and the precious stones were locked in the warehouse at night.

On the second floor, of course, the main area is to sell Tianhuangshi, but also some other things, such as precious items such as sea pearls, tortoiseshells, and conches that Akihito brought back from Kunzhou, and amber wood will also be sold here in the future.

Fan Ning found that the Tianhuang stones that were put out were all middle and lower grades, there was no frozen stone level, and there was not even a single sample, and as for the works carved by Zhu Zhe, he did not see it.

"Second uncle, what's going on? Is Tianhuangshi no longer popular? ”

"It's not that it's not popular, but it's too precious, do you think it's still the market five years ago?"

"How precious?"

"Precious to the point that Tian Huangshi is no longer a strange stone, but a treasure."

Fan Tiege smiled bitterly and said: "Although our mine is still ours, but the imperial court has implemented control, just like the gold and silver mines, there are 5,000 garrisons in Shoushan River, it is strictly forbidden to steal Tian Huangshi, and the Tian Huangshi we mined must be sold to the imperial court, and then we have to pay a high price to buy in the hands of the imperial court, just like the jewelry stores in the world." ”

Fan Ning listened a little unbelievable, although Tian Huangshi is rare, but it is not like this, it is even more precious and rare than the Ming and Qing dynasties!

"Since when?" Fanning asked anxiously.

"Since October last year, now an ordinary Tianhuang stone is worth 100 guan, and a frozen stone Tianhuang the size of an egg is at least 1,000 guan, and ordinary literati can't afford it."

"And how much stock do we have? The government didn't make up its mind! Fanning asked anxiously.

"This government didn't touch us, I claimed that there were only more than 1,000 pieces in stock, and only a few hundred pieces of frozen stone Tianhuang remained."

"What about the physical inventory?"

Fan Tiege looked back at the staircase, and then lowered his voice and said to Fan Ning: "We actually have more than 30,000 pieces of Tianhuangshi in stock, of which about 20,000 pieces of frozen stone Tianhuang, this is the top secret of the store, only you, me and Zhu Pei know, and at present, Tianhuangshi is stored in the warehouse of Zhu Daguan in Mudu Town." ”
