Hearing this, Gu Yi suddenly realized, and the doubts he had always had come to light, the emotional people actually didn't care about his background at all, what he cared about was the relationship between the Twelve Pavilions of the Heavenly Machine, the Branch, and the Iron Courtyard

Speaking of which, the Linning family is not a powerful character among the Shang clan of Nanwan, otherwise he would not be squeezed out of the eighty-one counties in Zhongyou, ranking eighty-first, and definitely belongs to the remote and remote Zhongrong County丨 to do business.

And the identity of Zhen Ning is not the wealthy merchant owner that Gu Yi thought, but in a small clan in the Nanwan Shang clan: Qian, Bi, Ji, Prison, Leopard, Tiger, Xiong, Zhen, Yu, Jiao, Jiao, Qiu, among the twelve surnames, one of the twelve merchant owners of the surname Zhen.

After listening to Zhen Ning's "self-introduction", Gu Yi wanted to say one word: I'll go

As far as the self-proclaimed "little person" of Zhenning has such a huge amount of power and financial resources in Qingshan Mansion in Zhongrong County, how rich is this Nanwan Shang family?

This is also thanks to Gu Yi's brain getting better and better recently, otherwise, listening to Ling Ning talking like this for a while, it would be impossible to sort out such a complicated relationship in a short period of time.

Although I don't really understand what they are, I feel like they are very powerful, and Gu Yi hinted in and out of his words: Can we cooperate and cooperate?

But Gu Yi was still confused about what the old dwarf's Tieyuan was, and he didn't dare to agree rashly immediately, the old animal was not as easy to fool as Ge Qiao's kid, so he ran away with him if he gave him something to eat.

Gu Yi played back and forth for a long time, and finally figured out the background of the old dwarf, but he was taken aback by the old dwarf's origin, and at the same time understood why he would hide in the empty valley and live in seclusion without leaving home.

丨The Twelve Pavilions of the Heavenly Machine丨 are the twelve pavilions, and not all of them are clear with the extensive knowledge of Zhenning, but it is said that there are many members of the Twelve Pavilions of the Heavenly Machine丨 in the middle of the Twelve Pavilions of the Heavenly Machine, what 丨 Shan Kui丨, Kui丨, 丨 Hai Kui丨, 丨 Shan Xiao丨, 丨 Shui Xiao丨, 丨 Lin Xiao丨, 丨 Shan Xiao 丨, 丨 Ping 魑丨, 丨 Cave 丨... There are many strange things, and they are usually distinguished by the area of residence.

And whether it is the Diluo Mountain Kui丨, the Diluo Mountain Manichi, or the Diluo Mountain Mandrill, most of their races are short in stature and have an extremely long lifespan.

The average height of the Shankui clan is about 1.2 to 1.3 meters, but they can live for three or four hundred years

Among the three ethnic groups, 丨Shankui丨 is still the highest altitude, 丨Shankui丨 is a little shorter than 丨Shankui丨, with an average height of about one meter to one meter, but the lifespan is longer than that of 丨Shankui丨, enough to live to four or five hundred years old

丨 Mandrill 丨 a family of the saddest, the average height is only about 90 centimeters to one meter, the life span is also short, only can live between one hundred and twenty years old to one hundred and fifty years old, because these three tribes are short in stature, strange appearance, often mistaken for mountain spirits and stone monsters, so there will be "Kui, 魑, Xiao" this kind of name.

Gu Yi was shocked when he heard it, isn't this Nima the legendary dwarf who has dwarfism

However, it is not incomprehensible that in the original world of Gu Yi, according to some unofficial research, the average height of the ancient Mayans in Central America was only about 1.4 meters, which was actually the prototype of the legendary "dwarf race".

And the Pygmies in South Africa, the average height of adult males is only one meter one, one meter two, and they can get married and have children at the age of eight.

Looking at it this way, the short and stocky ancient Mayans are not taller than the old dwarf, the "big man", not to mention that if you compare it with the era of the Great Wilderness World, it must be much older than the era when the ancient Mayans lived, and it is not unacceptable to be shorter.

丨Shankui丨The clan is good at forging, the Shanjing丨 clan is good at ingenuity, and the Shanxiao丨 clan is good at subtlety, respectively inheriting the iron courtyard丨, the wooden courtyard丨, and the stone courtyard丨craftsmanship and craftsmanship of the twelve pavilions of the heavenly machine.

But usually only in the hands of masters of the level of famous craftsmen and skilled craftsmen have the Monument of the Opening of the Academy, as long as they are willing, they can summon the clansmen scattered in the mountains and the four seas at any time through the Monument of the Founding of the Academy, and open the Courtyard and establish a sect

In other words, the old dwarf who owns an iron courtyard monument is actually a grandmaster-level blacksmith

No wonder he was able to make all sorts of very delicate objects, such as the planer that Gu Yi used to shave the hair.

“... Shaoyi?

Gu Yi, who was accidentally disguised, was woken up by Zhen Ning, and Gu Yiyu, who reacted, smiled, pondered the wording, and said cautiously: "I can't be the master of this matter, I have to ask for instructions, 'Courtyard master, you know.'"

Gu Yi nodded in the direction of the hollow valley in the back mountain, the tiger skin of the old Tibetan mastiff is still very useful most of the time, no, Zhen Ning immediately "understood", nodded and smiled when he heard the words: "It should be"

But Gu Yi's tone changed, and he said with a smile: "Don't care, 'The master of the courtyard, whether you agree to the merchant's proposal, between me and the merchant, you can also do some business first, but I don't know if the merchant owner can take a fancy to the goods in my hand."

Zhen Ning was stunned for a moment, thinking of all the exquisite and ingenious things built during the three-day tour, and realized: "Could it be that Shaoyi has been able to lead the Iron Courtyard alone?"

Gu Yi, who didn't know what "Sole Leader丨Tieyuan丨One Gate" meant, was depressed, what do you understand, "yes and right"?

Gu Yi, who was not easy to ask, could only follow Zhen Ning's words: "If you can't do it, you have to do it?" Not to mention anything else, I can't pay a dime for the tens of millions of gold worth of grain and straw brought by the merchant this time, so I hope that I can barter for more grain and wealth from the merchant owner. ”

"Since Shaoyi can be independent, of course it is the best, and Zhenning does not dare to expect the master of the courtyard to come out in person, with Shaoyi, the 'door master, it is enough" to come forward."

Zhen Ning said: "In the past few days, the things I have seen in this bluestone mountain are all exquisite, I thought it was the master of the courtyard, but I didn't think it was done by Shaoyi, but Zhen Ning was dull, and after wandering for a few days, it was like seeing flowers in the fog, looking at the moon in the clouds, and I hope that Shaoyi can explain it in detail, so that Zhen Ning knows the function of these strange and wonderful weapons." ”

Gu Yi looked up at the sky, stood up with a smile and said: "It's not early today, I see that there is still an hour before dinner, I have some special meals, you can invite the merchant to taste it, it is better to move to the dining hall with me, so that I can drink and feast for a while, and then lead the merchant to visit tomorrow." ”

When talking about business, it is naturally easy to do things at the wine table

What's more, among the goods that Gu Yi plans to sell to Zhenning, there are many types on this wine table, and if customers are not allowed to taste it in person, how can they be sold.

Gu Yi led Ling Ning and Zi Yu to the banquet hall of the Sun Palace丨 City Lord's Mansion, and at the same time instructed the maid to call the small Yi lord and the small merchant lord, and at the same time said to Zhen Ning with a smile: "丨Iron Furnace Castle丨The daughter of Bao Zheng is also in my fiefdom at this moment, but I hope that the merchant lord will not reveal my identity." ”

Zhen Ning smiled and agreed, but he didn't know what he meant by automatically making up Gu Yi's words.

The banquet hall of the Sun Palace is not far from the city lord's office, but after Gu Yi moved into the Sun Palace, most of the time he asked people to send the food to the city lord's office to deal with it, and rarely went all the way to the huge banquet hall.

After walking a few steps, Zhen Ning said as if he remembered something: "When I visited Shaoyi in the past few days, I saw that there were many huge warehouses built in the fiefdom of Shaoyi, I don't know if there is any room left?

Rent a warehouse?

Gu Yi was stunned for a moment, this was a bit of a surprise to him, but he didn't expect that the first thing Zhen Ning looked at was his venue here.

But this is not a big deal, Gu Yi was about to say yes, and suddenly reacted with a flash of inspiration, Zhen Ning is showing him the sincerity and attitude of cooperation?

The Nanwan Commercial Bank under his name has no shops or warehouses in the city, fort, tun, and village in this Qingshan Mansion?

He is planning to move the headquarters of the commercial bank under his name to Bluestone City, and at the same time use Bluestone City as a storage base?

It seems that Zhen Ning has not been shopping in vain these days, although he has not been able to see the things inside, but his shrewdness can naturally see the development prospects and potential hidden in the layout planning of Bluestone City, which is to occupy the territory in advance

At the same time, Zhen Ning is also expressing his attitude to Gu Yi, and the firm under his name intends to "advance and retreat" with Gu Yi

After thinking about it carefully, in order to climb the old man's Iron Courtyard, this can be regarded as a cost, and the joint operation cooperation between the two sides, from the perspective of Zhenning, Bluestone City丨 can be said to have taken a big advantage.

Once the various items in Gu Yi's hands appear on the market, they will inevitably attract the covetousness of all sizes, and at the same time, there is no way to explain the origin of these goods, and it is easy to set himself on fire, but once the Nanwan Commercial Bank under the name of Gu Yi comes forward to carry these problems, it will undoubtedly put a solid camouflage on what Gu Yi has done

But Zhen Ning didn't really understand at the moment, the value of those things that were hidden by Gu Yi's strict guard, just for the purpose of showing favor, took the initiative to help Gu Yi cover up, so Gu Yi didn't rush to paste it and cooperate with the Lian Ning joint venture, but decided to wait until tomorrow to take Zhen Ning around, let him clearly understand the value of the goods in his hands, and then talk about cooperation.

At that time, he knew that it was not necessarily Gu Yi who took advantage, maybe he was Ning, or rather, no one took advantage of anyone, and there was no need to put on such an attitude of charity to talk about business
