Outside the city of Chang'an, near the vicinity of Nandaying.

After half a year of rectification, Ouyang Zhi's blacksmith shop expanded day by day.

Apprentices, old blacksmiths, there are quite a few.

This blacksmith shop can have its current scale thanks to Huo Guang's help. As he said, build a blacksmith shop for Ouyang Zhi in the name of the imperial court.

Well!

It's really just hanging, and the court didn't send a penny of money and manpower in.

It's all Huo Guang's.

Therefore, this blacksmith shop, in fact, is also Huo Guang's private property.

Just at this time.

Huo Guang saw that Ouyang Zhi always obeyed the orders of those old blacksmiths to do things, Huo Guang couldn't stand it, so he stepped forward and pulled him over, and said, "Ouyang Zhi, come over for a while." ”

Ouyang Zhi thought something was wrong, so he followed and asked, "What do you have to tell Bo Luhou?" ”

Since he was able to strike iron openly and openly, this blacksmith Ouyang Zhi had special respect for Huo Guang.

No way.

Ouyang Zhi was born to continue his father's profession as a blacksmith.

When I was a child, I watched my father strike iron.

When I was young, I tried to strike iron by myself, and when I reached middle age, I struck iron alone.

Now when the half-old is not old, the imperial court does not give iron to private individuals. In this life, he can only strike iron, and if he can't strike iron in the future, he doesn't know what the meaning of his life is.

The good thing is that it is.

I met Bo Luhou, and now, there is a blacksmith shop with the name of the imperial court, and I can do what I can do again.

Huo Guang looked at Ouyang Zhi, who had a look of respect for him, frowned and asked, "Ouyang Zhi, last month, did Ben Hou tell you that this blacksmith shop will be handed over to you in the future." ”

Hearing Huo Guang's words,

Ouyang Zhi immediately nodded and said, "Hmm." ”

Huo Guang continued to ask: "Then what are you doing, I let you manage the blacksmith shop, what is your opinion?" Why do other old blacksmiths tell you to do anything, why is that little apprentice there with Erlang's legs crossed, what are you doing? ”

Ouyang Zhi said at this time: "That junior apprentice is the grandson of Zheng Blacksmith, he is not sent to work alone, and Zheng Blacksmith used to be a very famous blacksmith!" ”

Hearing Ouyang Zhi's defense, Huo Guang said frankly: "I don't care what he is, I opened this blacksmith shop because you can make gun barrels!" ”

"They take the high wages I offer, and they are going to do the work they are supposed to do in the blacksmith shop!"

"I made this shop bigger, hoping that the monthly production quantity of arquebuses can be increased."

"You know what I'm trying to say, right?"

"Ben Hou doesn't want to see such a thing next time I come, I hope you can be the manager of this shop!"

Heard Huo Guang's words.

Ouyang Zhi, a middle-aged man, could only nod.

Forthwith.

Huo Guang patted Ouyang Zhi's shoulder and said, "Actually, these words shouldn't have been said to you. You're older than me, and there are some things you should understand. ”

"There is no such thing as a free lunch."

"Okay, I'll go back first, and what to do later, you decide for yourself."

After speaking.

Huo Guang left.

In the past year, Ouyang Zhi has already informed these blacksmiths of the method of making iron pipes. The rest of the blacksmiths also knew how to produce, and the quality was not too much inferior to Ouyang Zhi.

Because most of the old blacksmiths who used to be experienced were skilled in their hands.

So this shop is not impossible to operate without Ouyang Zhi.

But the production method of the barrel was made by Ouyang Zhi after three years of pondering.

So.

Huo Guang hoped that this blacksmith shop would be managed by Ouyang Zhi, and he didn't want to do anything like that.

But if Ouyang Zhi really can't manage the shop.

It's still necessary to find someone who can manage it and take over the blacksmith shop.

Huo Guang, who left the blacksmith shop, first went to Nanda Camp to take a look around and see if Zhao Daniu was making trouble in the military camp.

This guy has performed well in the past year, and he is currently sitting on the top of the bench, with ten soldiers under his hands.

Looked at.

Huo Guang didn't say anything to him, and left the barracks.

Get in the carriage and go all the way back to Chang'an Huo Mansion to see Ji'er. The little ones are two years old and have long since learned to walk, but they often fall on their heels.

Therefore, the slaves and maids in the house did nothing day by day, and followed the little one.

Seeing this, Huo Guang picked Huo Ji up and said, "Eh, Ji'er is at stake, she can run!" But why can't you speak, shout to the middle father? ”

"Yikes!"

Xiao Huo Yan seemed to be very happy, humming something milkily in his mouth.

Huo Guang didn't understand either.

I guess this is shouting!

was teasing the little guy, at this time, the shopkeeper of the restaurant hurriedly came to the house, found Huo Guang and said: "Childe, son, something is wrong!" ”

Xiao Huo Yan seemed to be a little scared.

I didn't see him coming.

Immediately frightened, I burst into tears.

Huo Guang had no choice but to coax, then glared at Busan, and said, "What's so flustered?" ”

Bu San hurriedly leaned close to Huo Guang's ear and said a few words.

After Huo Guang heard this, his face immediately changed, and he said, "What, this Wei Yan just finished the crown ceremony two days ago, and he started to be a demon!" ”

Huo Guang's crown ceremony was held at the age of fifteen.

The crown ceremony of Wei Ling was not held until he was sixteen years old.

That is, the other day.

The general said that after Wei Yan finished the crown ceremony, he would be an adult, so Wei Yan would no longer care about him if he did anything in the future.

Thereupon.

Wei Ling, who grew from a small chubby dun to a big chubby dun, became more and more rebellious in his behavior.

But this kind of rebellion is not the kind of shouting rebellion when I was a child, but doing some bastard things silently.

If it's just a normal bastard.

But what he did has already endangered the Wei and Huo families!

This made Huo Guang very angry.

Rise.

handed Huo Bin over to his sister-in-law, and then came to the restaurant with Busan.

This music is the same as it was four years ago.

Most of them, it seems, are still the same people as they seem.

It's just that.

Time is passing, and some things are gradually decaying with the erosion of time.

Under the leadership of Fu San, Huo Guang came to the vault of the Le Restaurant here.

This is where the money earned by Huo Guang and Wei Liang was stored after they opened the restaurant.

But as the money became more and more earned, it soon became impossible to fit.

So a place was made for the copper coins, and it became a place for precious objects.

For example, horseshoe gold or some valuable jade and the like.

This vault has two keys.

One belongs to Huo Guang, and the other belongs to Wei Yan, after all, the restaurant was opened by him and Wei Yan when they were young.

And with the affairs of the restaurant being fully managed by Busan, the key to himself was handed over to the shopkeeper of the restaurant as early as a few years ago.

Huo Guang pointed at the vault, and then said, "Open it and take a look." ”

"Okay, Childe, you have seen it, don't be surprised later." Without saying that, he took out the key, unlocked the lock, and then opened the door of the small vault.

What catches your eye.

It's the horseshoe gold that has been accumulated over the years.

The gold of the Han Dynasty is hard to say in purity, but it is indeed real gold.

Later, there were some better jade and other things, as well as some antiques left over from the Yin Shang, Zhou Dynasty, Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Modern people play antiques.

For example, things from the Han Dynasty, in modern times, are antiques.

Similarly.

The things of the Yin Shang period, when they arrived in the Han Dynasty, for the Han people, they were also antiques.

The Qin Dynasty was very close to the Han Dynasty, and the Qin Dynasty was very short-lived, so there was nothing in the vault that particularly highlighted the Qin Dynasty.

As for the Xia Dynasty.

Huo Guang didn't collect any special objects.

First, the Xia Dynasty was too far away even for the Han Dynasty.

Secondly.

The Xia Dynasty, a country that is counted as the beginning of the Central Plains Dynasty, to tell the truth, the land area is actually very small.

It's not nice to say.

It's actually a country of several tribes, how big can it be?

Including the later unification of the Qin Dynasty, in fact, the land area is not large. The land of the Six Kingdoms, but only the Central Plains, how big can it be?

The large-scale expansion of the land area of the Central Plains Dynasty actually began in the hands of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Regardless of merit.

Just about the size of the dynasty.

The end point of Qin Shi Huang is actually only the starting point of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

This is not to belittle Qin Shi Huang, but to give rise to the latecomers. After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty will still become bigger and bigger.

Of course, we are talking about dynasties here.

Small countries don't count.

Huo Guang looked at the small vault densely packed with precious items, and said, "I didn't expect that there are so many precious things here, it's not a good thing." ”

"Forget it, let's deal with it later."

"No, what do you say about the things that Wei Yan put here?"

Hear the words.

Busancai said to Huo Guang: "Childe, it's in that box, but I don't have the key in the box." ”

"Keys?" Huo Guang raised his eyebrows, and finally changed his words and asked, "No, are you sure, the thing that Wei Yan spent money to trade with others is the thing that cannot be seen?" ”

Hear the words.

Nodding his head three times.

Huo Guang then pulled out the saber on his body and slashed it down.

Officials of the Han Dynasty basically liked to carry swords when traveling, as a way to show the spirit of martial arts.

There are also a few people who like to travel with a sabre.

Knife.

Naturally, it is the ring head knife.

However, this kind of people are basically people in the army, like Huo Guang.

The back of the ring head knife was thick and the blade was sharp, Huo Guang slashed down violently, only to see sparks flying everywhere, and the lock was also smashed heavily on the ground.

The quality of this lock is ok.

However, the quality of the box is average.

Directly smashed the lock down, but it's okay.

Huo Guang didn't say a word, stepped forward to open the wooden box, and really found the shady things that Ru Busan said-Nine Aperture Jade Plug!

These are very precious jade artifacts of the Han Dynasty.

It's just that.

It's not something for living people!

Huo Guang didn't understand, what was this Wei Wei collecting these things for, didn't he feel unlucky?

"Go, call Yichun Hou Wei and his wife." Huo Guang said to Busan with a solemn face, and just as Busan was about to call someone, Huo Guang continued: "I also notify the general and let my uncle come here." ”

"Yes, Childe."

After hearing the sound, he did what Huo Guang told him to do.

Wei Yan's temper is big now!

Huo Guang, a peer, has no way to control Wei Ling. After all, both of them are marquises, and it is true that they are the Marquis of Bolu, but they are also genuine Marquis of Yichun.

So the matter.

can only be handed over to his uncle Wei Qing.

Even if Wei Yan has already performed the crown salute, Wei Qing, as his father, can still teach him a lesson.

It's not an exaggeration to kill Wei Yan with one sword.

The killing of a father by a son was not a matter of course in the Han Dynasty. But the father of the Han Dynasty had this right.

matter.

Please refer to the future of Kim Il-pan.

Because the general had some things to do, when he went to inform him, the Yichun Hou Wei, who was idle on weekdays, came over first.

"Eh, old watch, aren't you usually busy everywhere, why are you today. Who told you to touch my stuff? Wei Yan was talking, but suddenly found that next to Huo Guang was a small wooden box he had placed in the vault.

Seem.

He also knew that these things were not easy for people to see.

So.

Very nervous.

Huo Guang smiled coldly and said, "Hmph, move your things?" If I hadn't moved your stuff now, someone would have to move your head in a few days. ”

However.

For Huo Guang's intimidation.

Wei Yan turned a deaf ear, and even retorted: "What nonsense are you talking about? Ben Hou is the son of the general, the Marquis of Yichun who was personally sealed by His Majesty, who dares to touch my head! ”

After speaking.

also glared at Huo Guang, and then angrily closed the wooden box.

In fact.

In the past two years, the relationship between Huo Guang and Wei Yan has not been very good.

I was busy doing things for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so how could I have time to pay attention to this unfortunate thing. And Wei Yan has long stopped taking the initiative to associate with Huo Guang because of the death of his biological mother.

Thereinto.

When the relationship is at its worst.

It was none other than when Wei Qing took Princess Pingyang.

Huo Guang was still living in the General's Mansion at that time, so he naturally wanted to call Princess Pingyang his aunt, and at that time, Wei Ling rarely spoke to Huo Guang.

Contradictions are inevitable.

"No one dares to touch your head? Hmph, Wei Yan, if you weren't my old watch, I would have cut off your head with a knife. Huo Guang glared at Wei Yan fiercely.

Subsequently.

He pointed to the wooden box that Wei Yan was about to take away, and said, "Hurry up and explain, who are these things traded with?" Don't have an accident and say I'm going to die. ”

Wei Yan was not afraid of Huo Guang, and said directly: "I spent money to buy it with some ranger brothers, what can happen, get out of the way, don't make trouble for Benhou." ”

For Huo Guang's kindness.

Wei Yan doesn't appreciate it, and his temperament is no longer the same as when he was a child.

Seeing that the other party is leaving.

Huo Guang immediately didn't care about the other party's face, and directly took action, not only snatching the wooden box he was going to take away, but also detaining it.

"You idiot, you dare to take these shady things out in broad daylight?"

"You stay honest with me!"

After speaking.

Huo Guang tied him with a rope.

Subsequently.

He didn't do anything, just stayed here until the arrival of the great general Wei Qing.

Wei Qing didn't realize what was going on at this time, but when he came in, he found that his family was so eldest and that he was tied up here by his nephew Huo Guang, who was not related by blood.

"Huo Guang, you and Wei Yan, is there any conflict between you and Wei Yan?"

Looked at.

Huo Guang immediately moved the wooden box and explained in front of the general Wei Qing: "Uncle, Wei Yan said that these are all things he bought from people with money!" ”

Wei Qing heard this.

He immediately glanced into the wooden box.

Boy.

I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it. It's all stuff for the dead.

Immediately.

The general Wei Qing scolded Wei Yan: "You idiot, what are you doing buying these things, your father is not dead yet!" ”

The son buys the valuables of the dead, and it is of the more private kind, and generally speaking, it is reserved for the father.

The nine-trick jade plug specifically plugs all the holes above and below the human body.

It is normal for the general to mistakenly think that Wei Yan bought it for him.

But Huo Guang reminded: "Uncle, are you thinking a little wrong? The reason why I'm showing you this thing, don't you think about it? ”

"It's hard to do it"

"Haven't you heard recently about the theft of coins from Emperor Wen's Mausoleum, which has been making a lot of noise in Chang'an City these days?" (End of chapter)
