Chapter 84: Eat and Take
On this day, Liu Zheng was still working on his well salt drill bit, but the craftsmen in the fine iron workshop had already made the mold and would soon be able to mass produce it. This also made him feel relieved, as the backbones were still very fast in mastering the process.
In just half a month, the mine salt will start mass production.
The subject began to flash through his mind again.
How to survive in the world?
He chuckled and looked at his Yintan City, which was being built at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Salt?
Is this the foundation of life?
Recently, Zheng Yueru has been negotiating with the Baiya Army. She sent pigeons several times, but there was no specific result. But who wouldn't be tempted by refined salt? Obviously, the Baiya Army was also very interested, but also very cautious. The last letter only said that Du Biao would come to Yinzhou in person to discuss with Liu Zheng on a chosen day, and Liu Zheng was still waiting.
Unexpectedly, I received news from Fengming Tower first.
"Young Master, someone has come to Fengming Tower to cause trouble!"
That's what the servant said.
"What?"
Liu Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Ruin the place? In the current Yinzhou, is there anyone who dares to ruin his own place?
The servant Xiao Wang looked depressed: "Sir, you say... she is a woman, and she refused to leave after entering Fengming Tower. Several students were made to cry by her. Is this ruining the place?"
In that era, it was truly shocking for a woman to go to a brothel.
Liu Zheng rode back without saying a word.
He thought Xiao Wang was exaggerating, but when he walked into Fengming Tower, he saw a student with red ears and running out with tears and snot.
Liu Zheng was stunned.
The manager of Fengming Tower came up to him immediately and said, "Sir, what should we do?"
Liu Zheng was delighted at first sight.
A woman who looked plainly dressed was sitting in Fengming Pavilion, facing the talented scholar from Yinzhou, with a glass of wine and some fruits in front of her. What surprised Liu Zheng was that although this woman was not as delicate as Shen Manqing, not as stylish as Zheng Yueru, and not as delicate as Chen Ruoshi, she still had her own unique temperament... If he had to say what it was, two words popped up in Liu Zheng's mind - aura!
His whole body seemed to be full of spiritual energy!
That spotless face and those spiritual eyes, at first glance, can make one ignore her beauty that is enough to overturn a country.
Yes.
You stop noticing what she looks like, and it's an amazing feeling.
She seemed like a fairy who had walked out of a painting, untainted by the mundane world. Her eyes were so clear that people could not bear to blaspheme. At this moment, she sat there with a calm face, but her eyes could not help but flicker with curiosity about the world.
Liu Zheng was stunned.
"Sir, Sir?"
The shopkeeper called out several times.
Liu Zheng shook his head: "Don't worry about her."
The shopkeeper had a bitter look on his face, and Liu Zheng did not go over there, but went back to his own private room.
Fengming Tower is particularly lively today.
"You, you, you... My Senior Brother Zhou is extremely talented, how could I allow you to humiliate him like this?"
Several scholars were furious.
The girl smiled faintly: "Am I wrong? Zhou Liang only started to study when he was five years old. Now he is thirty-eight years old, but he is still a bachelor. He spends all day in brothels, ignores his wife and children, and does not touch the good farmland. He borrows money to drink and even asks for prostitutes to accompany him! What's the point of such a scholar?"
Someone angrily said: "You...you little girl, do you know that this is written by the son of our state? We, as scholars, cannot write books just to make a living!"
Others echoed.
A scholar should have the pride and character of a scholar! If you choose this path, no matter how difficult life is, you must stick to it! Never go to the fields with a hoe, and would rather starve to study than lose your pride!
How can you burrow into the ground all day?
A scholar should study, drink, and find girls!
Liu Zheng's eyes widened... Is this what the poem meant? How could it be interpreted this way? Aren't these scholars too shameless?
really.
The woman laughed sarcastically: "If you, young master, really have such intentions, then it's bullshit!"
"puff……"
Liu Zheng still couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of liquor.
The entire Fengming Tower was furious and yelled at him. This young master of the Liu family is famous, who wouldn't praise him? He led an unruly land to become prosperous step by step, but in your mouth he is just shit, who wouldn't be angry? But the woman still smiled faintly, took a sip of wine, and remained unafraid.
Liu Zheng laughed.
Pretty good at my temper.
"Everyone, no matter what, you should not deviate from today's topic!"
"Yes, young lady, please tell me, can you answer my young master's question?"
"If not, then forget about today's wine money!"
A group of people reacted, and the shopkeeper also came over and said with a sneer.
The woman smiled gently: "How to make a living? It depends on the talent of your young master Liu! Now it seems that the talent of a rich man is more than enough. The talent of a prince is not enough, and the talent of a king, hehe..."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was about to explode.
Unexpectedly, the woman laughed and said, "Can you waive the money for today's drinks?"
After saying this, he turned around and ran , and those old men couldn't stop him.
"Sir, this..."
The shopkeeper looked helpless.
Liu Zheng smiled and waved his hands, but he was extremely shocked in his heart . This girl's knowledge is definitely extraordinary. But this girl must not be the one who left the picture for him. But she must have some relationship with that person!
What talent?
Liu Zheng has indeed been thinking about this issue these days.
Which direction should Yinzhou go now? This question seems unnecessary. Develop the territory, wait for the world in chaos, and then compete for supremacy? Isn't this what all time travelers do?
but.
Liu Zheng felt that things were not that easy.
Take the vassal kings of the Longyan Dynasty who are eyeing the throne. Which one of them doesn't have hundreds of thousands of troops and control dozens of states? How can I compare with my two states and counties? Even a small Liangzhou has Chen Ping and the Baiya Army.
If the world really falls into chaos, he will most likely become cannon fodder, with nothing left.
As for making guns and cannons...that's pure nonsense.
No matter how good of a student Liu Zheng is, he still can't make those things, and he doesn't plan to make them. The impact of thermal weapons on the world situation is really too huge.
Today, this little girl suddenly understood everything about herself.
How to survive in the world?
Let's first look at what kind of person you are! How big is your heart! Governing a county is completely different from governing a country!
"Sir, do you want to send someone to follow..."
The shopkeeper asked from the side.
Liu Zheng shook his head and said, "Absolutely not! She will come again."
"Remember, if she comes again, all drinks at Fengming Pavilion will be free!"
"ah?"
…
Look over here.
The woman in plain clothes burped after leaving Fengming Tower. Her dark eyes rolled around and she ran contentedly to another street. She rode her chestnut horse and left here at lightning speed. Before leaving, she did not forget to laugh.
"The taste of this divine brew is indeed stronger than Dad's fruit wine!"
"Hahahaha, haha burp?"
The chestnut horse galloped towards the north of Yinzhou for fifty or sixty miles. There was a main road on this side. There was no one living around. On the side of the road, there was a thatched house with a flag hanging outside with the word "wine" written on it. There were several sets of simple tables and stools placed outside the house.
When they got closer, the girl hurriedly stopped her horse, got off, and carefully led the horse to the back of the house.
"Xi'er, went to Yinzhou?"
A cold voice came from the tavern.
"ah?"
The woman looked annoyed and laughed: "Dad, Xier went to get you some wine!"
"hehe……"
The man smiled coldly.
Hu Xier ran into the house flatteringly, came to the man and handed him the wine in his hand.
This man was about forty years old. The light in the room was dim, but it could not hide his sharp features. He was dressed in white, which was quite out of place in this shabby tavern. He took the wine from Hu Xier, and a doting smile appeared on his stern face. He let his daughter pinch his shoulders and asked lightly, "What about the young master of the Liu family?"
Hu Xier looked shy and said, "Who went to see him? I went to buy some wine!"
The man smiled and said nothing.
In just half a year... He thought that this unruly place of Yinzhou would be a lonely place for the elderly. Who knew that this Yinzhou would suddenly become prosperous... Originally, this wine shop had few people for several months, but in recent months, the merchants coming and going have made it lively. The fruit wine he brewed on weekdays is not enough to sell.
The name "Young Master Liu" is often mentioned by passers-by, and most of them are praises.
A wise leader appears in Yinzhou?
At first, Qingyang Suo sneered when he heard this.
However, as time went by, he heard all kinds of legends, which surprised him greatly. So he and Hu Xier often talked about Yinzhou, so he couldn't avoid the young master of the Liu family. When he heard something interesting, Qingyang Suo casually drew a few pictures.
"Didn't see him?"
Qingyang Suo asked with a smile.
Hu Xier looked annoyed: "Dad, I didn't go to see him!"
Qingyang Shuo laughed loudly, stood up, and said calmly: "That's good. Let's see if the young master of the Liu family can meet the issue this month. If not, we should move out. What's the point of Yinzhou?"
"ah?"
Hu Xier pouted her lips, her eyes rolled around, and no one knew what she was thinking.
…
Sure enough, it was just as Liu Zheng expected.
The next day, the woman came again. This time, Liu Zheng still sat in his own private room, listening to this little girl, and she criticized all the scholars and students in Yinzhou! This woman had clear ideas, from the near to the far, from governing the country, safety, people-oriented, people's hearts, and politics, and she spoke clearly.
Liu Zheng was surprised again.
Who trained this girl? Even if this little girl came to govern Yinzhou, she would definitely be a hundred times better than her father.
On this day, Hu Xier had free drinks again.
Day 3…
Not only is she free, she also packs.
The shopkeeper was about to cry.
Liu Zheng smiled and said it didn't matter.
he knows.
There must be someone behind this little girl.
They are waiting.
Waiting for my answer to this question.
On this day, Zheng Yueru and Du Biao finally came back.
