Before going back, Pearl took the guards and the girls out to sweep the goods, and secretly sent the girls, and got out of the space a big bag, which was full of toys, including a copper carriage that the sons liked, a little winding frog that could jump, a tumbler doll, a Huarong Dao, a wooden piano, and a harmonica. There are also tin toys and birds coming out of their shells, hens laying eggs, and water guns made of bamboo. There are also rag dolls for girls, the kind that can change clothes. There are also plush toys, what Hello Kitty, rogue bunny, baby bear, etc., are all cute dolls. Because there are too many and there are many children in the family, I am afraid that it will not be enough, so Pearl simply got two big bags, and when Liu Zi and they found Pearl, they were surprised to see her carrying two huge bags in her hands.

Before going back, Pearl used the remaining 10,000 taels of silver in his hand to buy cotton with 5,000 taels. Taisho is very cold, and these cotton may be useful. If you can't use it, you can spin and weave cloth, and I bought a lot of fine bamboo charcoal with 1,000 taels and let the next person transport it to Dazheng County. Pearl bought a mansion over there, and she could put it there. There are also foreign businessmen here, they sell many things, there are American ginseng, the saponins in American ginseng can effectively enhance the central nervous system, achieve calming the mind, eliminate fatigue, enhance memory, etc., but also protect the cardiovascular system, provide immunity, promote blood vitality, and treat diabetes. Pearl bought 50 catties of high-quality American ginseng at once, and also bought 150 catties of high-quality shark fin and 100 catties of fish maw.

Just as Pearl was about to leave, Qu Wang suddenly came, and he came to tell Pearl the good news. When the flat glass was finally made, Pearl was very happy and told Qu Wang that the first batch of glass would be sent to Zhuangzi in Zhuozhou. Qu Wang agreed with a smile, and said to the pearl again,

"I heard you bought a lot of things, how about it? Ran out of money, right? ”

Pearl smiled and said, "But you're right, these things are a bit complicated, and you can't move them for a while." I'm poor now. ”

Qu Wang said. "That's wrong. I know you have pearls in your hands, so why don't you sell them to me? ”

Pearl was surprised and asked, "How do you know?" ”

"The south is my world. You're cultivating pearls over there. Can I not know? Qu Wang didn't hide it.

Pearl thought about it, and it wasn't illegal, so she said. "I sent the pearls from the south to the treasure building, but I still have the pearls I just bought, they are big, good in color, and flawless, I just don't know if you can eat them."

The pearl is talking about the pearls I bought this time, there are ten very large pearls, and the pearls have never seen such a large pearl, as well as 230 strings of bracelets and 98 strings of pearls.

Qu Wang said with a smile, "My business is mainly in the south, and I also have a semicolon in the capital, your pearl is really nothing, and if you have it in the future, even if I sell it, I will definitely give you the fairest price." ”

"There are 230 bracelets and 98 necklaces, all of which are the size of a dragon's eye and have many colors, how about it? How much do you give? "Pearl knows that Qu Wang's kid is not only buying and selling goods, but also a big salt merchant!

"Thirty thousand taels of one, one bracelet has eighteen pieces! Coupled with the necklace, it is estimated that it should be around 13.18 million. Otherwise, bring it to me to see how it is, if you are not satisfied with this price, we can still discuss. Qu Wang said easily, and Pearl was a little speechless, and said,

"Wait a minute, I'll fetch it." Pearl turned around and went into the bedroom, found a box, and put all the pearls in the large box. This is just coming out. Place the box in front of Qu Wang.

Qu Wang opened the box, showed a satisfied smile, and said, "These pearls are really extraordinary, and they are worth it." 13.18 million taels of silver, how about I give you a silver ticket? But I have to wait until I sell all of them before I can settle the payment, and of course, I can buy some of them and give them a part. ”

Pearl smiled and said, "Let's give it together!" I want gold! Then send to a place, the address and I will tell you. 1,300,000 taels of gold, plus 180,000 taels of silver tickets. You pay me half of the gold first. ”

"Yes, just do as you say!"

After sending Qu Wang away, Pearl told his subordinates not to pack up their things yet, they would continue to stay here for a few days before leaving! Pearl hurriedly sent some letters to her husband, telling her that she was going to postpone her return for a few days because of a delay.

As soon as Qu Wang left, Pearl thought of a question, why did Qu Wang introduce himself to do this big deal, but still come to buy pearls from himself? Why? Forget it, I can't figure it out anyway, I'll always know later.

Pearl is a person who can't be idle, Zhuozhou Wharf is so prosperous, of course, you have to take a good stroll, buy a lot of things for the family, fabrics and jewelry are boutiques, there are tens of thousands of pieces, you don't have to buy anymore, cloth and fur put in the space, it will not fade, it is better. Jewelry can also be purified, it is all things in the favored prince's mansion, of course, it is not comparable to the jewelry on the market.

I bought some copper, iron, tin and other ores from some foreigners, as well as rare earth ores, and bought some ivory and enamel. After that, he hid in the inn to rest, and actually went to the space to start preparing for steelmaking and making the Yakuza Armor.

It was once recorded in "Mengxi Writings" that the Qingtang Qiang people were good at forging iron armor, the color of the iron armor was blue and black, smooth and translucent, and the hair could be seen, and the musk skin was used as a belt to tie it up, which was soft and tough. There is a pair of iron armor in the Zhenrong Officer's Mansion, which is treasured in a cabinet and passed down as a treasure. When Han Wei Gong was the commander of Jingyuan Road, he once took it out and tested it. At a distance of fifty paces from the iron armor, shoot it with a strong crossbow, and you can't shoot it in. An arrow had pierced through the armor, and it had been shot through the small hole in the belt through which it had been pierced, and the arrow had been drilled and scraped, and the iron was rolled up. The hardness of the iron armor has reached this level. In the great method of forging armor, the iron sheet is very thick at the beginning, and it is forged with cold iron without heat, which is reduced by two-thirds compared with the original thickness. At the end of it, a piece the size of a chopstick head is left unforged, vaguely like a wart on the skin, and it is used to verify the thickness of the iron sheet when it is not forged, just like the soil pillar left when dredging a river to measure the original height of the ground. This kind of nail is called 'Poor Son Armor'

Pearl's second brother-in-law and third brother are both in the army, so naturally they are the most needed, and now Pearl began to look for information in the space, conduct simple experiments, and then hand over the information to his subordinates, and take those metal ores purchased from foreigners to Zhuangzi in Zhuozhou, so that the craftsmen there can start to build.

On the other hand, pearls make people collect purple shirts everywhere, the more the better. Then he wrote down the method of making the English longbow, and also handed it over to Zhuangzi in Zhuozhou, and Pearl sent Chu Yan and Chu Xiong to come out of this matter, making weapons privately, which is a felony, and everything must be kept secret. There are still many guards on the Zhuangzi, which are not considered secret guards, and they can be mobilized by the brothers of the Chu family.

There is no substitute for the position of the English longbow. It made the English army, often numerically outnumbered, from remote islands, a formidable force in late medieval Europe. The maximum range of arrows fired by the longbow can reach 360 meters, but it can only be lethal within 200 meters, but only these 200 meters are already beyond the reach of other bows and crossbows.

The initial velocity of an arrow can reach more than 60 m/s, which is equivalent to a bolt falling from a 60-story building, or a stone thrown at a car traveling at more than 200 kilometers per hour. It can penetrate leather, padded armor and fabrics at distances of 220-260 meters, or penetrate chain mail. At 183 range, plate or scale armor can withstand its penetration; And a frontal hit within 100 yards can't even resist plate armor; At a range of 50 meters, the longbow and arrow can be said to be indestructible.

Now pearls are going to be both spears and shields. It's a contradiction.

In front of him, there were boxes of gold and pearls, and books and calligraphy and paintings were placed. The 2,621 ancient books were all put in the box. There were 90 pieces of calligraphy and paintings, and 20 pieces of Duan inkstone, Taohe inkstone, She inkstone and Chengni inkstone were each taken out. In addition, Hui ink, Zihao, lake pen and paperweights of various materials were put in the box. That's not enough to hide people's eyes. Pearl went to the warehouse again, and put more than 20 boxes in it, which were jewelry boxes bought for children and diamond-encrusted makeup mirrors taken out of the space. Cloisonné bracelet in space. A huge box placed a large grandfather clock more than 1.80 centimeters high. Forty-five small grandfather clocks, 30 pocket watches, and 30 pieces of bronze and pewter; 100 pieces of precious porcelain. 20 versions of five-color tweed, 25 versions of mandarin ducks, 60 versions of five-color feathers, and 25 versions of five-color tweed.

Then he put 25 jade ruyi in the box, two gilded eight-treasure kang screens, and selected 200 silk brocades from the cloth in the silk warehouse and put them in the box. Because Pearl does not plan to continue to open shops, Pearl will send the fabrics, antiques and other things in these stores and warehouses to Zhuangzi in Zhuozhou. This time it was Liu Xuan who was in charge.

When you go home, you have to buy some good wine, some snacks and local dried fish, grilled fish fillet, seafood and fruits from the south are all brought. In the process of transportation, in order to hide people's eyes, Pearl always locked the car, and sent people to guard it when he arrived at the inn, otherwise he would unload the goods.

Arriving in Zhuangzi in Zhuozhou, Pearl inspected some installed tools and lathes, and more recently, workers have made another 15,000 bullet casings. More than 2,800 bullet casings for pistols were also made, which was enough to be satisfying. After that, Pearl began to study armor with everyone, and without the help of Pearl, they would not be able to make qualified iron pieces. Now that people were sending purple shirts, Pearl began to teach the carpenters in Zhuangzi how to make English longbows. (To be continued......)
