Chapter Fifty-Eight: Chess Soldiers in Encounters with Nobles

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The envoys sent by Tiantongmen are not only Wang Jujun and Huayuan Chun, the sphere of influence of Tianqimen covers the entire Jingzhou, and even the eastern part of Liangzhou, and those places naturally have to send envoys.

And the envoy to the Heavenly Weapon Gate naturally needs more heavyweight figures.

Moreover, the purpose of these envoys is not really to make the Heavenly Weapon Gate take back the iron coupons, after all, the shape is stronger than the human. Now the hope is that the Heavenly Instrument Sect and their affiliated sects can allow their subordinates to accept food stamps and iron coupons to coexist.

As long as they accept this condition, Tiantongmen will naturally have the confidence to use guò commercial means to make the iron coupons fall into the water.

At this time, Li Zisheng in Tieshan City returned to Dongcheng, and all he had to do was ...... Letting his men buy salt is, of course, not a pound or two pounds, but a large transaction.

After a while, these guys turned back empty-handed. As for the reason why these people were unable to buy salt goods at the store, they all said that it was temporarily out of stock, but the stores also said that the goods would be available in the store in a few days.

Li Zisheng listened to these returns, and his heart tightened, and sure enough, someone was doing something wrong. It seems that some people want to take advantage of this opportunity of the East China Sea chaos to make a lot of money.

At this time, of course, he didn't know that this was Tiantongmen and Jingnan Grain Association, and wanted to use the ban on salt to make the Tie family bow their heads.

The boy pondered for a moment in the carriage, and felt that it was not a big deal.

It is naturally hateful for merchants to hoard Juqi, but since they are profit-seekers who buy low and sell high, it is also their duty. With this opportunity, if they don't make a fortune, what else are they doing in this business?

Although Li Zisheng has memories and knowledge of another world, he is a human being and not an omniscient god after all, and this time there is some deviation.

The main reason is that the "instructor" in his mind is from an industrialized society, so he naturally does not think that salt is a great thing.

You must know that in our world, the Celestial Empire has a population of 1.4 billion, and the annual consumption of salt is only 8 million tons, but the annual output is 80 million tons, ranking first in the world. This is still without full production. So in the subconscious of the teenager. I don't think this salt shortage is a big deal at all.

But he forgot that in an agrarian society like Middle-earth, many farmers actually only buy salt once or twice a year. Generally speaking, during the summer and autumn grain seasons, they also have spare money in their hands, and they just take advantage of the slack time to go into the city to purchase daily necessities for a year and a half. Of course, salt is one of the most important items.

And now is the time for summer grains to go on the market.

Although Li Zisheng is a revolutionary, he has not yet revolutionized to the point where he even has to manage profiteers to make money. Of course, he couldn't manage it if he wanted to. So he just instructed his men to stock up on some salt for their own use as much as possible when the price was not rising today, and then returned to Xin Yi Shun Tong with his younger brother.

After returning home, the four members of the Li family sat in the hall with their second uncle Wu Pingfang and the five of them and had a dinner happily.

Li Zhaochang and Wu Pingfang's business sense is actually not keen, and now that the business of money lending and acceptance has occupied all their minds, how can they have time to care about the increase in salt prices. So even if you attach a lot of importance to these three guys, you've just heard the math.

After dinner, Li Zisheng returned to his room to cultivate, and there was no need to elaborate.

After a night of silence, it came the next morning.

Li Zisheng led Li Ziren and Shi Kangdang to practice physical skills in the courtyard, and after breakfast, he rode his bicycle and took two entourages to go straight to Tieshan Academy. Now the wealthy Li Sangongzi also equipped his entourage with bicycles. They ran after them.

The young man naturally went to find the father and daughter of the Liu family and continued to record "records".

Liu Dacang is not a true immortal who does not eat fireworks in the world, and with such an opportunity to make extra money, he will naturally not let it go. He really went to find some former students, as well as the talisman craftsmen in Iron Mountain City, and began to buy a large number of gramographic notes and gramophonic jade pendants.

Inadvertently, the teenager opened up a new industry.

He took the phonograms and rode to the Xiao Family Bookstore with Liu Wuflawless for the second recording.

This time, of course, it's not just the song "A Big River Wave Wide". Li Zisheng has not been idle in the past two days, and has "written" two more songs.

In fact, "plagiarism" is also a technical job, and it really can't come with temperament, Li Zisheng is now writing revolutionary songs such as "The Internationale", "Katyusha", and "Unbreakable Alliance", which is not for the appetite of the natives here in Middle-earth.

It's still necessary to take it step by step, and first write some small and fresh works for the audience's taste.

The boy picked and chose two more songs in his memory, one. It's "Sweet Honey". As soon as he thought of his senior sister Liu, he felt a hint of sweetness in his heart, so he wrote this song by mistake.

However, after writing it, Li Zisheng felt that this "Sweet Honey" was too straightforward. is not so "elegant", so he wrote another song "When is the Bright Moon". Compared with "Sweet Honey", this one is much more high-end and atmospheric, and the lyrics and songs are relatively simple and elegant, which is suitable for the taste of the times.

The two of them came to the Xiao family's bookstore with a smile and laughter along the way, and the eldest prince Xiao had already arranged a female music and a place to wait for them.

Probably genetic, Xiao Jiaqi is still very literary and artistic young man, and now he has another thing he loves in addition to novels. Therefore, this little literary youth is destined to embark on a revolutionary road to promote a new culture. Of course, because of the particularity of this revolutionary road, Xiao Dagongzi walked very unevenly along the way......

The reason for this is that a woman with a flat figure is a little less attractive to Xiao Jiaqi when he grows up.

The two took advantage of Liu Wuflaw's recording in the attic, discussing how to promote these "records", and soon, President Li Da and Editor-in-Chief Xiao reached an agreement, in fact, it is the old way, first free popularization, and then charged

So at noon, when Wang Jujun and Hanahara Jun got off the boat at Dongcheng Wharf, what floated into their ears was "When is the bright moon?"

Ask the sky for wine

I don't know the heavenly palace

What is the year and the present?

I want to go back with the wind

I am afraid of Qiong Lou Yuyu

It's cold in the heights

Dance to figure out the shadow

How ...... it seems to be in the world?"

These two people don't want to make a noise, and even the eldest son of Hanahara Junhua has changed into a green coat and wears a wide-brimmed hat to cover his handsome face. Therefore, he didn't let the Jingnan Grain Association or the Tie family come to greet him at all, but prepared to go to the Tiantongmen Tieshan branch to understand the situation first.

They originally thought that someone had invited a music class to sing on the dock, but they were still wondering in their hearts, where did they come from to listen to music on the noisy dock, and it was such an elegant song.

These two people are both wealthy and noble sons, so going to the Qinglou to socialize is an indispensable "homework". Although I didn't put much effort into the lyrics and songs, the level of appreciation was not low.

As soon as this "When Will the Bright Moon Come" enter their ears, they were taken aback. Is it everyone from that green building who came to sing live on this noisy dock?

But then they realized that the music was coming from...... A group of teenagers riding strange two-wheeled bicycles, they all have a jade pendant hanging from the front of the car, thinking it is a gramophone jade pendant. Because this jade pendant is playing this song.

In front of the jade pendant, there is another one, one big and one small. The thick paper tube outside the big head is of course the paper horn used as a speaker.

This quiet and elegant, quite immortal birth atmosphere of the song has just been played, before everyone present, including Hua and Wang, woke up from the artistic conception in "I don't know the heavenly palace, what year is tonight".

The next song was sung by the same female singer. But what she sang this time was a sweet love song, and the lyrics of this song all carried the shyness of a girl's first love, which made people smile after listening to it, and recalled the feeling of youth when she was young.

The third song is a bit strange, it is neither a fairy song like the first, nor is it closer to a market slang song than the second. It's a song with an inexplicable meaning.

The beautiful song is a little excited, and there is something in the plain lyrics "Friends are coming, there is good wine." The jackal is coming, there are knives and guns".

This style of music is the first time in the lives of these two sons, who often go to the Qinglou to listen to music.

When the three songs were finished, they heard the young men shouting loudly:

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers!" "Pioneer" Express: The East China Sea Demon Disaster, the price of salt is bullish. ”

"This issue of "Story Meeting" is wonderful: Wukong vs. the Bull Demon King, Han Li happened to build Jidan. The flower fairy sells stinky tofu, and the third son punishes the Taiping demon. ”

"The new "Nanfang Daily", as long as you have a newspaper in hand, I have Iron Mountain Flower News. The third edition has a portrait of a popular girl in the drunken evening building. For the army to treasure. ”

"Good news, good news. Buy the newspaper today and get a new 'single' from the Flawless Fairy for free, you can't miss the opportunity, don't miss it!"

These teenagers have a really good business, and they just shouted a few words and gathered around a group of people. You must know that Dongcheng Wharf was originally a very lively place, and there were a large number of foreign merchants coming in and out.

They are still very receptive to such new things. Visitors can use these newspapers to learn about the recent business information of Iron Mountain City. Even up-to-date prices for accommodation and meals, as well as entertainment guides like the Nanfang Daily, guests will naturally choose a few copies of the "Story Club" to combat the boredom of the journey.

And what kind of "singles" are you giving today, these three tunes are really good, so what are you waiting for if you have this kind of good thing?

For Wang and Hua. Newspapers are nothing new, and some people have already sent the newspapers of the two companies in Iron Mountain City to their desks.

The energy and business opportunities contained in newspapers can be understood even by "small" businessmen like Chengjiazhu and Kim Yuen Long, not to mention the wealthy businessmen in Tiantongmen.

However, their newspaper and the Jingnan Express encountered the same problem, and only business people were reading it, and ordinary people were not very interested.

This is also a matter of course, except for merchants, who have the leisure time to look at the price fluctuations and supply and demand information of goods every day.

Of course, although the newspaper cannot make ends meet, these expenses are not the same thing for the wealthy Tiantongmen.

Now Zhongzhou can make this newspaper impressive, only Li Zisheng's "Pioneer Daily" and its affiliated publications, and the others are all loss-making profits. Instead, the small bookstores that completely pirated the "Vanguard" made some money.

However, when a newspaper like Nanfang Daily becomes popular, there will inevitably be people who will devote themselves to the journalism career pioneered by Li Zisheng.

"Come on, go and buy two copies each. Wang Jujun commanded with great interest.

It didn't take long for these newsboys to buy a few hundred newspapers, and they got on their bikes and left the docks, naturally rushing back to participate in the military training run by President Li University.

Wang Jujun and Hua Yuan Chun boarded the carriage of the Tieshan branch together and drove towards the Tiantongmen branch in the city.

Along the way, Wang Jujun kept flipping through these bought newspapers, and his mouth was full of admiration from time to time.

He turned to Hua Yuanchun and asked, "Brother Hua, do you recognize the three young men of the Li family?"

The playboy showed a strange expression. Nodding.

Wang Jujun said with some expectation: "Then Brother Hua, can you take the younger brother to introduce me?" ”

Hanahara Chun's expression was even more strange, and suddenly he caught a glimpse of someone out of the corner of his eye, he turned his head to look, pointed out the window with a smile and said, "Brother Jun, the three young men of the Li family you said are this person!"

Wang Dagongzi also turned his head to look out the window, but he was taken aback, and asked with some surprise, "Brother Hua." This child is the third young man of the Li family. ”

Coincidentally, after Li Zisheng finished recording the music and sent Liu Wuflaw home, he rode his bicycle to the Dongcheng Pioneer Newspaper Office, and happened to meet the carriage where Hua and Wang were sitting.

"Li Zisheng!"

The boy heard someone calling out to him from behind, and the voice was still a little familiar. He stopped the car and turned his head to look.

Someone stuck his head out of the window of the carriage that had just passed by.

It's really an acquaintance.,Hanahara Junka is an unforgettable character.。 Since he is an acquaintance or an elder, this child always has to come forward to say hello.

He got off the car with one leg on his legs, handed the bicycle to the entourage behind him, walked to the carriage window and saluted first, and then said, "It turned out to be Uncle Hua." The little nephew has said hello to you. ”

Although Hanahara Junren is not in Iron Mountain City, how can he not know about the things that this kid has done, such as killing Fang Tianya with three shots and stepping on Taiping Road overnight. His wife Tie Qianjiao's thoughts, he is even clearer, so seeing this young man who is also theoretically his "godson", his mood is a little complicated.

This is also completely normal. The feeling of the father-in-law looking at the son-in-law and the mother-in-law looking at the son-in-law is completely different.

He coughed and said, "Virtuous nephews don't need to be polite, you and I are a 'family'." I haven't seen you for a few days, and I heard that you have done a few great things?"

Li Zisheng scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Little nephew, in fact, it's a bit of luck, it's nothing." Uncle Flower. Are you here to pick up the third aunt and the delicate one?"

This question, the young man himself didn't know how to answer, he snorted a haha, pointed to Wang Jujun beside him and said, "Virtuous nephew." I have an Uncle Wang here who wants to get to know you, the third young man of the Li family. ”

"Are you the third young man of the Li family?" asked Wang Jujun without waiting for the young man to salute.

The young man still bowed politely and replied: "Back to Uncle Wang's words, this Li family third young man is the pen name of the little nephew." ”

Wang Dagongzi asked with great interest: "Pseudonym? Does this mean that this "Hutian Ji" and "The Legend of the Eastern Journey to the East" were both written by you?"

Li Zisheng blinked, nodded and said, "That's right." ”

"Then you also run these newspapers?" asked Wang Jujun, pointing to the newspaper in his hand.

The boy nodded again, and before he could answer, there was a flower in front of him, and a pain in his hand.

It turned out that Wang Jujun somehow came to him from the car all of a sudden, grabbed his hand, and said excitedly: "Li family...... Well, Li Gongzi, it's better to meet by chance! Let's go, Wang will invite you to have a meal, and Li Gongzi will give me a good talk. ”

After he finished speaking, he pulled Li Zisheng to a restaurant next to him that looked neat.

Hanahara Jun knew the temper of his brother, smiled bitterly, and also got out of the car and followed them in.

This time Li Zisheng was pitted, but he didn't agree to give this Uncle Wang a good talk, so he was dragged in. He didn't know how much face this Wang Jujun would have if he invited someone to dinner, he only knew that this Uncle Wang's cultivation was much higher than his own, so he was even spared the struggle.

The three of them entered the store and sat down in a private room.

Li Zisheng originally had the intention to do it, but not to mention Wang Jujun, who has a short-lived face, Hua Yuan Chun is his godmother's husband after all. He is not a person who does not know what to do, he knows that Miss Tie San takes care of her family, and she doesn't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, but also to give the two Yangzhou Yankees in front of him some face.

So he held back his anger, sat down, and then instructed the guys outside to inform the Pioneer Newspaper that today's military training was postponed.

Wang Jujun looked at the young man's puffed face, laughed and said, "Li Gongzi, it was Wang who was reckless." ”

He casually untied something from his belt and handed it to Li Zisheng: "This can be regarded as a gift from my uncle to you, and it can be regarded as reparation." Li Gongzi doesn't want to blame Wang for being abrupt. ”

Li Zisheng's hand sank, and he almost didn't hold the small accessory. It was also unexpectedly that such a small ornament was so heavy, and the young man couldn't help but look down carefully.

When he looked at it, he suddenly felt a slap in his hand, and in his hand was a doll carved out of wood, which was only as long as an adult's index finger, and the carving was not very fine, and even looked a little rough, and the proportions of the limbs and body were not very coordinated. However, it was still obvious that it had a brute face with blue fangs, a helmet and armor, and a small axe in its hand.

"This is ......" Li Zisheng, who had read a lot of miscellaneous books and was quite knowledgeable, said in a lost voice, "This is a chess soldier?!"

Hanahara Chun was beside him, smiled slightly and said, "You kid also knows the goods, so don't you thank this Uncle Wang Jujun." ”

ps: In order to speed up the plot, I made a small revision of the outline, so it's a little late today.

I'm sorry.
