"I said boy, did you see that the old man was not ordinary, so you invited me to drink?" The old gentleman is sloppy.

clasped his nose with his hand and wiped it on his leg again, and Jiang Yang, who looked at it, was speechless for a while.

That's pretty informal.

And... Lost self-confidence.

Jiang Yang was a little speechless, but he still spoke: "Hou Sheng thinks that the old gentleman is not ordinary and free, and seeing each other is just a pot of wine, so why not invite the old gentleman to drink?" ”

"You kid has a vision, I told you that the level of construction of that house is too inferior, and it was all garbage that I threw away back then." The old gentleman bent his waist and danced his eyebrows as he spoke, showing off his own.

"Housheng, let me tell you that if the things I built are so bad, I will be killed by one head, isn't it a waste of resources?"

Jiang Yang was happy when he heard this, and asked casually: "Dare to ask where the old gentleman was back then?" ”

"Back then, I...."The old man just wanted to say it casually, but after looking at Jiang Yang with a vigilant face, he said: "You don't have to worry about it, you just know that the old man is the best in the world!" ”

"Really?" Jiang Yang smiled, it seems that the person in front of him is very conceited.

It's okay, that's what makes it fun.

Soon, the two of them took Shi Gaofeng and a few guards to the Dongli Restaurant, ordered a few dishes, and ordered a jar of wine by the way.

As for why this one was chosen, it is natural that this one has the liquor shipped from Mi County.

And now it has been sold to more than 100 taels of jars.

It's really outrageous, or underestimate this rich man.

As the saying goes, in order to rule the people, the Qing Dynasty government made the people run around for their livelihood without thinking of making progress and imprisoned their thoughts.

After careful calculation, the annual income of each ordinary person reached 33 taels.

Not much, right? You say it's a coincidence or not, it costs about thirty-five taels a year to eat and drink Lazar.

The common people farmed and sold grain day after day, paying taxes, contributing to the development of the Qing Dynasty, and became a cold number rolling in this torrent of history.

Don't talk about that, it's boring and annoying.

To get back to the point, although this Datang seems to be going downhill, the upper-class people in the upper class hold a lot of property, so they can afford to drink this wine no matter how expensive it is.

Is this drinking? It's a status symbol!

"Tsk, this wine is good." The old man took a sip and was amazed.

Jiang Yang also took a sip of tea and said, "The dish is also good, the old gentleman will try it." ”

"Hahaha, you are polite."

When the food was almost over, Jiang Yang smiled: "I see that the old gentleman is not an ordinary person, I have a drawing here I don't know if the old gentleman wants to see it?" ”

As he spoke, someone brought pen, ink, paper, and inkstone from the counter below.

Jiang Yang drew the devices needed for blast furnace iron smelting, and then drew a simple drawing of a flintlock pistol.

The old man was originally there to pick his teeth, looking at the thing that Jiang Yang had drawn, and he really couldn't raise any interest in it.

What the hell?

Forget it, when you talk about him for a while, scold him lightly.

But when he saw Jiang Yang draw the blast furnace and briefly mention the words pig iron entrance, he realized that this blast furnace was not ordinary.

Looking at the simple flintlock pistol drawings, although the object is small, it is very exquisite.

"Sir, what do you think of these two drawings?" Jiang Yang said with a smile: "I think I can see one or two with the old gentleman's gaze." ”

"This stove... I guess it's iron-making. The old man frowned and said, "It's just that I've never seen this kind of iron-making method." ”

"Hahaha, let's not hide it, the old gentleman actually believed you when you said that the rake you built could last for two or three years, because the farm tools built in Xiami County were not to mention two or three years, five years! It can be used for ten years. Jiang Yang added in his heart, as long as it was not deliberately sabotage.

"Oh?" The old man's eyes were shocked, and he muttered silently: "Xiami County? ”

"Yes, old man, I see that you have nowhere to go, why don't you go with me to Xiami County?" Jiang Yang said with a smile: "If you can still exert your residual heat at that time, Xiami County will definitely not treat you badly." ”

"Is there this stove in Xiami County?" The old man asked.

"Yes! And there is iron ten times stronger than the outside, and all kinds of exquisite drawings. "Jiang Yang knows what these people are good about.

It's good to study what you don't understand.,This thing I have.。

If you are really idle, you will get a tank blueprint and you will study it for us, of course, this is a joke.

The old gentleman did not agree immediately, but picked up the drawings with both hands and looked at the light carefully.

The mouth repeatedly said: "Wonderful, can it still be like this? That's a good thing. ”

Jiang Yang drank wine and left him alone, and after a while, the old gentleman put down the blueprints of the blast furnace and looked at the drawings of the flintlock pistol carefully.

After half a ring, the old gentleman breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is... Firearm? ”

"Firearms." Jiang Yang nodded, he knew that this would have a great impact on the old gentleman.

The firearms of this era were not yet to this extent.

"Is it possible?"

"Will you find out if you give it a try?"

Jiang Yang bought a pass.

The old gentleman pondered for a moment, then suddenly took a sip of wine and said, "Good! Then take a look! ”

"Hahahaha, okay." Jiang Yang also laughed heartily, and the next thing was to drink.

It's just that if the old gentleman mentioned a few words about some technical problems on the drawings, Jiang Yang also went to explain them one by one.

Can it be regarded as an intellectual, a scientific elite, curiosity is a normal thing.

It's just that this is almost over, and the old gentleman suddenly whispered: "Don't hide it, boy, don't underestimate me, what about me, I'm very good at shipbuilding!" Back then...."

The latter words were vague after drinking too much, but Jiang Yang remembered it.

Shipbuilding?

It's not far from the Japanese who have a good life, and it's not far from the East Ying Kingdom.

Ships don't need to be too complicated to get there.

In this way, if you have a port, you can open the Dongying market from here, go up to Goryeo, and go down to Malacca, wouldn't you have the right to speak at sea?

At that time, wouldn't it be better for them to hold the cannons in their left hand and the commodities in their right hand, and quickly envelop their wealth into their own hands?

Jiang Yang's wine was sobered up for most of the time, and he scolded Li You again in his heart, what kind of shabby place is this Xiami County chosen, it's terrible.

After muttering a few words and returning to the inn, Jiang Yang asked the shopkeeper to open a room for the old gentleman again.

When I was drinking just now, the old gentleman reported his name, saying that his surname was Mu, but he didn't mention anything about his name.

After a good night's rest, the next day, Shi Gaofeng had already prepared the gifts prepared by the county guard according to Jiang Yang's wishes.

A whole wagon.
