0104 Gift of Treasures
"This soft rice is a bit prickly!"
Li Tai ran to the hillside in a puff of smoke, and couldn't help but sigh when he saw that the slaves of the Dugu Xin family in the valley were still wandering around the villa to search and find their location.
Thinking of the way Dugu Miaoyin softly whispered and gently tricked himself to the front just now, and then gritted his teeth and slaughtered him, he couldn't help but feel that the character of these Xianbei women was really hot.
Seeing that the search area below was gradually expanding, he turned around and walked around the hillside from the orchard, he didn't plan to come to this villa in the valley recently, and only mourned for a moment of silence in his heart for some Feng Na boy.
After returning to the manor, he still felt a little unsafe, and before the little lady realized that he had run back, he simply changed his outfit and planned to go out to avoid the limelight.
Brush or not, it's just a little gimmick in my mind before that, but seeing that this little lady made him a little restless on the first day of entering the village, I also feel a little unbearable, and the key is to take care of my own losses.
You still have to be realistic, first realize the gifts that Duguxin gave him before. It's just that although those gifts are valuable, they are not in great demand, and it is not easy to realize them in the market.
But he soon thought of a good market, and that was the club run by the Heba Jingwei brothers in Lishan.
Although he didn't have time to see it recently, when he met Yuwen Hu in Taiwan a few days ago, this guy said happily that business was good, and he had received the first dividend not long ago.
Although Li Tai didn't ask about the details of their cooperation, he could see Yuwen Hu's expression that the benefits must not be bad.
Huazhou was the base camp of Yuwen Taibafu, and Chang'an was the center of the Western Wei court.
Those courtiers who followed Emperor Xiaowu to move west mostly settled in Chang'an, they were not the heroes of Beizhen who had risen for a short time, they were all powerful families who were used to eating in Luoyang in the early years, and their requirements for the enjoyment of life were naturally not low.
The batch of high-end commercial goods in Li Tai's house should not worry about sales if they are placed on consignment in that club. After cashing out these gifts and making a windfall, Li Tai planned to officially go to the Ma Smelting and Casting Workshop and build a small military factory of his own.
There were already a group of smelting and forging craftsmen in He Batsheng's ministry, and Li Tai had recently established a relationship with those big tyrants in Hedong.
For example, his colleagues Pei Han and Xue Shen in Xingtai Mocao seem to be polite and harmless, but their respective clans are powerful, and they are local tyrants who make Gao Huan feel a headache.
The local forces in the Hedong region can be traced back to the end of the Three Kingdoms, when a large number of Shu people were relocated to Hedong after the fall of Shu Han. Hedong Xue is one of the representatives, and is therefore called Shu Xue.
During the Wuhu Rebellion, the Hedong Xue clan who settled in Fenyin gathered to protect themselves, and after the Xiongnu Han Zhao and the Xiongnu Hu Shi Zhao, they were unruly for decades, and the tyrant Shi Hu of the Later Zhao led tens of thousands of troops to attack it, but they could not make it succumb.
The reason why Hedong Haoqiang can be so stubborn and powerful is that he has the advantage of salt and iron. In particular, the salt pond in the east of the river is a good deal with profits nowadays. In order to protect this important surface resource, the various ethnic groups in Hedong must maintain a considerable number of private armed forces.
Xue Shen's elder brother Xue Shan previously served as Sinong Shaoqing, managing the military and smelting and forging weapons, because of his family's many years of tradition and accumulation.
Li Tai's friendship with these Hedong families is not very deep, but he can finally get along, and before his own military industry can form a large-scale production capacity, buying a batch of weapons and ordnance from them can also be regarded as an option.
With this in mind, he asked his family to pack up some of the gifts and divide them into two parts, one for Gao Zhongmi to maintain daily etiquette, and the other was intended to be sent to Lishan for consignment as a sample.
As soon as he and his entourage rode their horses out of the manor, a number of phoenixes with bruised faces and embarrassed appearances were escorted from the valley by several sturdy servants of the Dugu family. He can't, can't......"
On the Gao Zhong Secret Mansion in Huazhou City, there was the sound of singing and music in the middle hall, and Gao Zhong Mi co-elder Shi Nianhua and a few guests were leisurely enjoying the singing and dancing of the servants in the hall.
Li Tai strode into the hall, Gao Zhongmi was a little embarrassed when he saw him, and quickly stood up from the seat, rubbed his hands and said with a dry smile: "Apan, why did you have time to go home today?" Alas, here it is, stand down, all of you stand down. ”
"No need, if I disturb Uncle and you, I will be fined a cup first."
Li Tai hurriedly waved his hand and said, said hello to Nianhua and the others, and drank a glass of fruit wine to quench his thirst when he sat down.
Although he said this, Gao Zhongmi was still a little stubborn and couldn't let go, and it was always a little embarrassing to be caught by the younger generation who was close to him and disrespected the old.
Li Tai thinks that it is nothing to do some pastime in ordinary times, even if he has a deep hatred of blood, but he just has no ability to retaliate, and he can't torture himself every day.
Gao Zhongmi may not be able to take revenge in person in his life, it is better to relax and enjoy life, and live long enough to see his eldest nephew's family hurt each other, and he can be happy.
Even if his wife is still living, it is cruel to think about the indescribable tutor of Gao Huan's family, it is better to get drunk and don't let yourself be too sober.
During the banquet, Li Tai asked Nianhua again if he knew about the club run by the brothers of the He Bata family in Lishan.
"Of course you know, that other industry is now famous in Jingyi! Most of the children of the families I have met are frequent visitors there, and they linger tirelessly every day. I also visited with a friend once, and it really deserves its reputation! ”
Nianhua is not an ordinary Beizhen child who grew up in adversity, and he has a bit of Luoxia's son's style, and when he talks about this amusement resort, his face is full of energy: "If I hadn't come in person, I really wouldn't have thought that there would be such an elegant place in Lishan." It's just, it's just that the bag is not abundant, and it is unbearable to visit for a long time! ”
When Li Tai heard this, he smiled again, Nianhua has a transcendent status among the children of Beizhen, and without the supervision of Lao Tzu every day, his family background is quite thick, and he feels that the consumption of this club is a bit unbearable.
It can be seen that the Heba brothers are also very ruthless when they slaughter these fat sheep, of course, in addition to their own family background, they also have Yuwen protection behind them, so they are so fearless.
"I'm in my spare time recently, and I'm going to visit this famous place, would you like to be a guide?"
He smiled again and said, Nianhua has a wide range of friends, and he can talk to the upstarts in Beizhen and those old money, if he has the opportunity, he also wants to pull Nianhua into his career network.
Lishan Club, although he doesn't plan to get involved, but other similar businesses, such as some high-end handmade goods, he also has some business ideas to save capital for his own Lu Daye.
Nianhua was an idler who was already messing around, and after hearing the words, he smiled and agreed, and agreed to go to Lishan together tomorrow morning.
Early the next morning, Li Tai was still wielding a long lance in the backyard to exercise his arm strength, and the doorman came to tell Yuwen Hu that he had come to the door. He stopped training, went back to his room to wash up, and then went to the middle hall to meet the guests.
"Brother Sabao, Brother Borneo, you two came so early, you don't care about your master's hobby of lazy lying in midsummer!"
Looking at Yuwen Hu and Wei Chi Gang, who were already sitting in the hall, Li Tai smiled and complained.
"The beautiful scenery in the world is beautiful, and no matter how you spend your pastime, it's better than lazy coke in the curtain! Where are we to be evil guests, to teach you not to waste your time! ”
Wei Chi Gang is not too big among the martial artists in Beizhen, a few points shorter than Li Tai, but his arms are as thick as if he is equipped with a mechanical arm, and when he heard Li Tai say this, he stepped forward and slapped him.
Seeing this, Li Tai hurriedly jumped away, but he didn't dare to be photographed by this bear goods, motioned for the two to sit down, and said: "The journey is long, and let's have a light meal here first, and when the long history arrives, we will set off." Just listening to Brother Sabao's boastful description, I am really curious about what the style of this other industry is. ”
At the mention of this stubble, Yuwen Hu was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, pointed at Li Tai and sighed: "Boshan, how clever you are, if it weren't for your inspiration, I really wouldn't have imagined that where the warm soup flowing in Lishan is clearly the golden spring!" I have enjoyed a lot of ease in this household, and I have benefited from this! ”
As he spoke, he pulled out a sheathed saber from behind his waist, the crank of the knife was golden and bright, and the scabbard was also decorated with brilliant pearls and gems, which could be seen at a glance that it was not a vulgar product. The blade of the knife is withdrawn, and it is as cold and intimidating as a touch of autumn rainbow.
"The treasure knife is given to a good friend, Boshan, don't shirk, otherwise I'm welcome!"
As he spoke, Yuwen Hu raised his hand and threw the saber into Li Tai's arms.
Wei Chigang was also quite envious when he looked at it on the side, pointed to the knife and said: "Brother Sabao is really interested in Li Lang, and he has been worried about how to reward you for the past few days. As soon as I told him that the Shangdang Wang's family had a golden knife given by Emperor Gaozu Xiaowen, he went to the house to buy it, and it took 2,000 horses of silk to get it! ”
When Li Tai heard this, he was also quite flattered for a while. In his impression, Yuwen Hu is not a generous person, and he used to use a standard bow to send himself, but he didn't expect that this time he was willing to spend 2,000 silk to buy a knife as a gift, which was really a hemorrhage.
He respectfully held the saber in both hands, looked down at himself left and right, and smiled helplessly: "Famous sword treasures, who doesn't like them?" But such a precious gift, how can I be willing to wear dust, and want to show off in front of others, Brother Sabao has given me a trouble of restless sleep! ”
"Haha, that's your business, whether it's a collection or a spare use, just don't bother me!"
When Yuwen Hu heard him say this, he also stroked his palms and laughed, he liked to see Li Tai at a loss by this heavy gift.
At this time, Nianhua also entered from the hall, and without waiting to greet a few people, Li Tai jumped up from the seat, still holding his hands in a posture, and walked towards Nianhua with an impatient face: "Don't turn your eyes on Nian Changshi, I have a famous treasure to wash your eyes!" Do you know this artifact? Don't, don't touch it with your hands! ”
Seeing Li Tai's eagerness to show off his treasure in front of others, Yuwen Hu's smile became even stronger.
