Chapter 22 Girl, You Are Also Crossing Over
Chapter 22 Girl, you also crossed over
The birthday of the cloth ruler, in his own house to open a large flow of water, the inspection of the inspection department, in Lingshan City is also a character, the right and money, this invitation card to disperse, basically Lingshan City has a head and a face of the characters, have to give the cloth inspection this face.
In the courtyard, dozens of tables were set up, and those who were salted or attached to the cloth for inspection sat in the courtyard eating and drinking, and the noise spread far and wide. Of course, they are just in the courtyard noisy, and if they want to enter the inner hall, they don't have to think about it.
There were also several tables in the inner hall, but those who could sit in the inner hall were much more noble than those outside. This Lingshan Zhizhou and Tongzhi were naturally the first to receive the invitation. Lord Zhizhou was busy with affairs, but someone still sent a congratulatory gift, and Lingshan and Liu Guodong came to the door in person, and he was sitting on the top at the moment, pushing the cup with the cloth ruler.
The remaining tables are the rich merchants and gentry of Lingshan City, and for them, it is also a matter of light to be able to sit in the inner hall of the cloth inspection and the inspection lord of Tongzhi. Different from the hustle and bustle outside, most of the people who can sit here are a little more introverted, looking at the staggered room, or making a drinking order, or a few acquaintances to talk about what they have seen and heard from all over the world, and the trends in the business field, the voice is naturally not high, but it is also a happy scene.
A person dressed as a family member hurriedly walked in and whispered a few words in the ear of Liu Chengbin, who was sitting in the second seat. Liu Chengbin, who was chatting with a wealthy businessman, listened to these whispers, but suddenly stopped his mouth, accused the rich businessman, got up straight, and walked towards the cloth ruler.
This wealthy businessman was very surprised to find that the inspector listened to a few whispers from Master Liu, and his mouth opened widely, with a look of disbelief. This Tongzhi Lord is still at the table, this Lingshan City is bigger than Tongzhi Lord, and only Lord Zhizhou is here, could it be that Lord Zhizhou himself came? The rich merchant muttered secretly.
"Take them to the back first, greet them well, don't slack off, I'll come over as soon as I'm free!" The cloth inspector instructed Liu Chengbin a few words, and then he turned his head as if he was fine, and continued to get up with Lord Tongzhi. However, if someone has been paying attention to this cloth ruler, it can be observed that when the Tongzhi Lord is full of wine and food, he will immediately "drink too much" and go to the back house to sober up.
"Neglect neglect, forgive sins!" The cloth patrol inspected the door and smiled and confessed, this attitude, people who don't know the truth will think that he has seen Shangguan, this has always been the smiling face of the cloth inspector with a black hand and a black face, how can it be so easy to see.
Sitting in the room were Yu Feng and the others, and Liu Chengbin was leaning sideways, sitting on a chair, talking to Yu Feng, and when he saw his host come in, he immediately stood up. For others, this cloth ruler may still be able to shake off a face, but, for Yu Feng, the cloth ruler does not have the slightest such idea, besides, today is his birthday, people can come, that is to give him face, although this identity is somewhat sensitive, but, to be able to enter the city at this time, doesn't it show that the relationship between the two is more solid?
Hearing Liu Chengbin's report that this long-haired man actually waited for someone to congratulate him on his birthday, Bu Qi's first reaction was to immediately think of whether to immediately ask Lord Tongzhi to close the city gate and take this guy down on the spot. However, the thought only went around in his mind and disappeared immediately. Not to mention that people will not come unprepared, even if they take down the salt lord now, the salt farm and salt road that the salt lord masters may not be able to eat all of them, and when the time comes, their own interests will be damaged, but it is possible to make a wedding dress for others, and he has always prided himself as a shrewd cloth ruler, how can he do such a loss-making business.
"The cloth patrol is polite!" Yu Feng smiled slightly, Liu Xiaoliu beside him took out a box and put it on the table, Yu Feng opened the box, and the twelve thumb-sized pearls in the box shone softly.
"A small birthday gift, not a tribute!"
"That's embarrassing!" A flower bloomed on the face of the cloth inspector and motioned for Liu Chengbin to put the box away. The other party has given such a heavy gift, that is, he really came to congratulate himself on his birthday.
"Yu Dang's family came from afar, and his brothers have all used wine and rice, Cheng Bin?"
"A feast was arranged in the next room! It's already been called to greet those brothers! ”
"Good!" The cloth patrol turned around: "Yu is a distinguished guest who can't usually be invited, and today we have to get drunk!" ”
He wanted to get drunk, but Yu Feng didn't want to. In fact, all the way from the Rejuvenation Hall, he has been thinking about this Wu Yanran's matter, as for the matter of eating and drinking, he didn't pay attention to it at all, when he arrived at the cloth house, the cloth inspection would definitely set up a banquet to treat each other, no matter what he said, it was okay to say it at the wine table, and it was okay to say it after eating, but it was not a very anxious thing.
Wu Yanran bought two large bags of sulfur and miscanthus salt, and naturally had a companion behind her to take the initiative to pick them up. Her current status in Changmao may not be much lower than Zhao Gui and them, these people can follow Yu Feng into the city, they can be regarded as confidants, this little bit of eyes is still there, at least, dare to say a few words to Mr. Yu face to face, this Miss Wu is the only one in Long Hair, I don't know when it started, these people have already regarded Wu Yanran as a part of themselves, it is not surprising to say, Changmao's current livelihood and wealth are all in private salt, and Wu Yanran can be said to be one of the people who have contributed the most in this regard, outsiders are not clear, Aren't they clear?
Wu Yanran didn't explain, and Yu Feng didn't ask, it's not that he didn't want to ask, but in front of his subordinates, it's really hard to ask, even if he wants to ask, it's just like when the two of them negotiated an agreement to share the spoils, find a secluded place and ask alone.
He has now determined that Wu Yanran's purchase of this sulfur manganese must be related to gunpowder. If it was just a miracle that Wu Yanran knew about salt in the past, she might be able to explain it reluctantly with her ancestral secret method or something, but now she has to tinker with gunpowder by herself, which is definitely not what a businessman's daughter does. In this era, there may already be a formula for gunpowder, but the real formula for gunpowder that can be applied to the military is definitely not something that a businessman's child can know by reading a few idle books.
Yu Fengneng knew that this sulfur, manganese and charcoal could make gunpowder, that was the information channel that he came from later generations, and had books, television, the Internet, and other information channels that people in this era could unimagine.
This Wu Yanran is really a bit weird! Yu Feng pondered secretly. However, Wu Yanran's every move did not shy away from him at all, which made him feel a little strange, if he was really a ghost in his heart, these things could be mixed into the list of items to be purchased in the fine salt workshop, and they could be obtained through the purchase of Yu Feng, not like now, it was obviously a temporary idea, and when he saw a medicine shop, he took it in.
The cloth inspection is today's birthday star, and the entertainment will naturally not be less, and after sitting for a while, he went out to confess. Of course, before going out, he apologized to Yu Feng that he would come back later to punish him for his crimes, and hoped that Yu Feng would not be surprised. Yu Feng naturally won't take it to heart, his current identity, of course, is not visible, rather than socializing with those people he doesn't know, it's better to stay aside and be quiet.
"Little Liu, Da Lang, you should also go to eat and drink next door!" Yu Feng sent Liu Xiaoliu and Zhao Deng away, and only he was sitting on a chair and Wu Yanran, who was wandering around with a pair of eyes, in the room.
Wu Yanran is dressed in men's clothes, with a pair of peach blossom eyes, watery, if anyone sees such a person and can't see that he is a woman, that person must be blind. At this moment, she was staring at a banner hanging on the wall, looking at it very seriously.
"Ahem!" Yu Feng coughed a few times in a low voice, attracting Wu Yanran's attention.
"Miss Wu!"
"Don't call me Miss Wu, you call me awkwardly, I listen to it awkwardly, you just call me Yanran like Xue Niang, anyway, Xue Niang must have told you my name!" This Wu Yanran is also generous, without the slightest twist of ordinary daughters letting men call themselves by their best names.
"Ahem! That, Yanran! Yu Feng swallowed a little hard, "Do you have anything to say to me?" ”
"Well, look, is it the authentic work of Yan Song and Yan Ge that hangs on this wall?"
Who do I care whose true deeds it is? Yu Feng rolled his eyes, you really thought I was a showman, ask me about this, I don't care about this!
"That's not what I'm talking about!" Yu Feng pointed to the two small bags on the table behind him, "I mean, what's the use of these things you bought!" ”
Yu Feng has secretly decided in his heart that as long as this Wu Yanran is talking nonsense about these sulfur and miscanthus salt, it is for his own salt business, or for his own use, this Wu Yanran himself must not be able to use it anymore, even if he does not have Wu Yanran's guidance now, there may be a short-term chaos in the fine salt workshop and the salt field, but it is too dangerous to let this strange woman by his side, although this woman still looks quite beautiful, and he has not heard of it.
"That's what you say!" Wu Yanran chuckled, "You have long wanted to ask, I'll see how long you can endure it!" ”
"At the beginning, my gunpowder looked very scary, in fact, it was a kind of goods, when I fell into the sea, all the gunpowder was wet, and it couldn't be hit at all, I asked the people who bought it, this gunpowder, I'm afraid that it will not be bought until Jining, or I have to find someone who has a relationship in the army to buy it, I wondered, I can do it, I can't do it, I want to go and it's not high, I can start it!"
She really understands! Yu Feng's heart was pounding, as if he had found an organization, and blurted out a sentence: "Where did you cross over?" ”
