Chapter 116: The genius of the Hanlin Academy regretted it
As more and more people entered Fengtianmen, they arrived at the Queqiao set up by Xu Qin. There are many talented people here holding lanterns and touching their fate.
Look at who took their own lamp, and which girl's lamp they took, if you meet two people who take each other's lamp, it is a match made in heaven.
Then the talents of the Hanlin Academy beat their chests and shouted, they were fooled. It's the Yamen of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, and I have met a lot of good girls.
For no special reason, the riddles made by the talents of the Hanlin Academy were too difficult and too elegant, and many girls couldn't challenge them at all.
However, the riddles of the rough people of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War, and even the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, have been taken away a lot.
"Mistake, mistake, Brother Lin, you are the champion, I am Tanhua and I didn't find out the mystery and was fooled."
Tanhua Liu Wen stomped his feet handsomely.
Especially when I saw the guys in the Ministry of Industry, they actually found the girl with their riddle lamp, polite and shy, and saw that good things were going to come in pairs.
And their lamps have not been taken away, isn't that a delay?
"What are you afraid of, we didn't take someone else's in our hands, this riddle is deep and elegant, I think the girl won't be wrong, let's find it slowly."
The champion Lin Huan is still relatively stable, but Liu Wenjun is a little anxious about his nature.
In front of the entire palace Fengtian Hall, it was beautifully illuminated by marquees. These glazed marquees are designed with a spotlight effect, plus simple spotlights and searchlights.
Xu Qin almost turned the palace into a dance hall for later generations, he himself looked dizzy, without the guidance of a professional lighting artist, he focused on a colorful one.
He himself felt that it was a miserable mess, but the people of the Ming Dynasty liked this, lively, wonderful, I had never seen it, and the sound of shouting was everywhere.
The little girls are no longer reserved when they get together, shouting and screaming, and jumping out of joy, but these talents are still pretending.
Xu Qin was taken by Zhu Di to meet those farmers and businessmen, and communicated with the farmers selected by Ying Tianfu, the outstanding craftsmen selected by Xu Qin this year, and the merchants of Enshichang.
No matter how much Zhu Di hated businessmen, he showed comfort and appreciation in person, and even drank with them.
Seeing those merchants sweating one by one, especially the fat man who sold cinnabar, the steam on his head was all gathered together.
Xu Qin knew that his goal had been achieved, with Zhu Di as an example, and with the experience of these businessmen, it would not be too difficult for him to go to Liujiagang to attract investment next.
In fact, the Haifan Division of Liujiagang started with just a lack of money. As long as you have money, everything is easy. All Xu Qin thinks of now is to make money.
It's almost time, Xu Qin hinted to Zhu Di that it's time for a big surprise.
Zhu Di led people to the gate of Fengtian Hall and saw that the square was full of many square boxes.
With Zhu Di's order, the little eunuch who had been prepared a long time ago immediately lowered his head and lit the fuse.
As the fuse fused flickered and disappeared, a thumping sound sounded, and many unknown people were startled.
As the gunpowder burst into the sky, a wonderful rain of fire exploded in the air. Everyone craned their necks and opened their mouths wide, shocked at what they had seen.
Clusters of fireworks exploded above the palace, although they could not make the effect of purple and red, and they did not have any special shape.
But Xu Qin made enough of it, and the sky above the entire palace was covered by fireworks, which was beautiful, and the fire trees and silver flowers never sleeped, and finally entered the world from poetry.
When panic turned into shock, and shock turned into ecstasy, the talents of the Hanlin Academy began to chant and compose poems to praise the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Di looked at the sky, his face expressionless, but his trembling hands betrayed the excitement in his heart.
The little county lord also wanted to jump up excitedly, and the cousin said that this fireworks were specially made for her. Now there is no way to use it to please the emperor's uncle.
Excitedly hugging Xu Qin's arm, he took the initiative to lift the mask and kissed Xu Qin on the face excitedly.
If Xu Qin hadn't been sick now, he would have taken advantage of these buns to watch the fireworks and go to kiss the little county lord.
This disease came at a bad time. It's too much of a delay.
Zhu Di is cool, and Xu Qin can make a request.
"Your Majesty, the minister wants ships, cannons, and gunpowder, of course, not in vain, and the Haifan Division will give money. The recipe for this firework can also be given. ”
Xu Qin pulled the happy Zhu Di and began to put forward conditions.
"Haifan Si is now a shadow yamen, do you have money to give to the imperial court?" Zhu Di asked suspiciously.
"I didn't have it before, but after tonight, I probably won't be lacking, so it's really not okay to use the income of the Haifan Division as collateral." Xu Qin said.
Zhu Di looked at the businessmen thoughtfully, and then understood Xu Qin's thoughts. Then he smiled disdainfully.
"Ships need skilled sailors, guns need skilled gunners, do you have all these people?" Zhu Di is a connoisseur.
"With ships and cannons, there will be naturally." Xu Qin said confidently.
"Okay, since I'm going to buy it, I'm not welcome, and I'm going to ask you to go to the fold after taking office." Zhu Di nodded and agreed.
Xu Qin felt that he could go home, and he felt a little cold now. The goal is achieved, and the rest of the carnival is left to these people.
He couldn't stand it anymore.
As a result, he was paralyzed before he reached the gate of the palace, and the little county lord was so frightened that he hurriedly found someone to carry him out.
Sent back to the Wei State Mansion, Xu Qin already had a high fever and was talking nonsense. The doctor gave him a few injections, and then poured decoction to sweat.
It was a deep night's sleep, and I was woken up by urine at noon the next day. Xu Fugui is in the house.
Seeing that he woke up, he hurriedly brought hot water to Xu Qin, and he took the night pot again. After a toss, Xu Qin finally sobered up.
I struggled to get up and ate lunch, and then lay down groggily. This is basically a classic cold symptom.
The little county lord was so frightened that he cried yesterday, and he lived with Xu Miaojin that day, and he hasn't left yet.
Xu Qin comforted the little county lord through the screen, and when he heard that he was fine, the little county lord went home with peace of mind.
Now Xu Qin is completely lying down, recuperating with peace of mind and nothing else.
After the Shangyuan Festival, Zhang Yuanxing was taken by Chongyang to the mansion of a wealthy merchant, where he met his younger sister back then.
The elegant sister of the year is now fat and deformed, and she is the mother of two children.
The junior sister also admitted that it was a moment of confusion that caused him to be expelled from Wudang Mountain. Willing to write a letter to Wudang Mountain to prove it.
Then the merchant was willing to give him 5,000 taels of silver as compensation, and told Zhang Yuanxing that if he could get the formula of the pure glaze, he was willing to pay a higher price, or even divide the shares.
"Senior brother, you are a senior disciple of Wudang Mountain, whether it is Taoism or martial arts, it is not impossible for you to become the head of the master in the future.
That Xu Qin is just using you as a bodyguard, not to mention sweeping you out of the house, why hide this secret for him? ”
Chongyang said while pouring wine for Zhang Yuanxing. Zhang Yuanxing drank a lot.
"Senior brother, you think too much, that pure glass is so precious, how can I know the formula?" Zhang Yuanxing replied deliriously.
Seeing that Zhang Yuanxing did not refuse, Chongyang and the businessman glanced at each other, and they both knew that there was a door.
"Senior brother, even if you don't know the formula, you always know where the formula is." Chongyang asked in a low voice.
"In Xu Qin's heart, no one knows." Zhang Yuanxing said drunkly.
Chongyang and the wealthy businessman were a little disappointed, and just wanted to ask something else.
"But I know where the pure glass is made, I've been there a few times." Zhang Yuanxing said seemingly unconsciously.
Chongyang's eyes lit up, this is okay, as long as you find a place to make it and quietly touch it, the ingredients and recipes can be figured out sooner or later.
That's a lot of money.
"Senior brother, apart from the place where the pure glaze is made, do you know any other secrets of Xu Qin? We can't just let him go, we have to make it up to you. ”
Chongyang pretended to be thinking about Zhang Yuanxing, filled with righteous indignation.
"Of course, I know a lot of things, and he thinks I don't know, but I know a lot."
Zhang Yuanxing muttered.
Chongyang and the wealthy businessman were very excited and wanted to ask again, but Zhang Yuanxing was already asleep.
The two men immediately left the place and walked to the outhouse.
"High, too high. I didn't expect the Taoist to have such a high move, I don't believe that Xu Qin will not die this time. ”
The rich merchant rubbed his hands excitedly and said.
"Don't worry, this junior brother is a dead eye, let's come one by one, as long as he does one, he can't help it."
Chong Yang said viciously.
"Okay, listen to you, the first thing is the formula of the pure glass, as long as you and I do it, then the Hou Ye ......"
The merchant was about to say something, but was stopped by Chongyang, and looked at the back room vigilantly.
Seeing that Zhang Yuanxing was sleepy, he was much more relieved.
But the merchant didn't mention it anymore, and the two of them discussed their next steps. Soon after, Zhang Yuanxing's junior sister arrived.
"Senior brother, this fool is still the same as back then, he is still so easy to deceive." The junior sister said disdainfully.
"Being stupid is a lifelong thing, and I wanted to get the true inheritance of the master when I drove him away, but unfortunately it didn't work out. I didn't expect him to give us a big gift this time. ”
Chong Yang said proudly.
