Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

Sitting with the fourth prince for a while, Wang Xiujin didn't ask the rebels what happened afterwards, since the fourth prince said that he asked the Ministry of Households to send the money to him, he just waited.Suppressing the curiosity in his heart, Wang Xiujin said goodbye to the fourth prince. He walked in the streets and alleys of the capital, listening to all kinds of yelling. Not at all worse than later generations.

Traveling through the sea of ​​people, the servants responsible for protecting Wang Xiujin's safety did not dare to stay too far away, for fear that someone without eyes would bump into the master's house.Wang Xiujin took a leisurely walk, looked east and west, and would bargain to buy something interesting when he saw it, which made people feel a little stingy.Wang Xiujin didn't care, since his money didn't come from a strong wind, so he could save money naturally.

I walked around the street again and again, bought a lot of things, and then walked back with people.He was carrying a lot of things in his hand, as well as a picture book. If the fourth and fifth princes saw it, they would probably laugh at him. Instead of going directly to get the freshly released ones, they would queue up to buy outdated ones.Passing by the teahouse, looking at the people on the third floor and the third floor outside, you don't need to inquire to know who is the one who took out the mountain again, which attracted many guest officials to listen to the book.The big and small teahouses in the capital are making a lot of money, because the storyteller competition has attracted many people. I know that I have to protect my voice, otherwise I can't speak on the day of the competition, so I can only miss it.Wang Xiujin passed the initial curiosity, and he didn't want to squeeze with others, so he just stopped for a while, then raised his steps and continued to move forward.

With the words of the fourth prince, Wang Xiujin has a bottom line in his heart. Those who leave the palace are afraid that none of them are clean. If he associates with such people, I am afraid that outsiders will not say anything, and it will definitely arouse those few people in the palace. bit of dissatisfaction.Wang Xiujin didn't mention this to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper didn't ask, as if it never happened.Wang Xiujin was very satisfied with the knowledge of the shopkeeper. If the shopkeeper asks again, he is afraid that he will send people to the farthest place to work as a steward.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Li's house held a wedding. Different from the low-key weddings of Mr. Li's concubine before, this time it was very high-profile. All the dishes are meat dishes.The second master was very satisfied with his eldest nephew and daughter-in-law, the smile on his face has not changed, it seems to be frozen.

Except for the son who was engaged the first time, the second master's family did not hold a wedding ceremony together, the other two sons greeted the bride together, worshiped together, and entered the bridal chamber separately.Wang Xiujin still blamed himself for not being married to the teacher's family before, but it didn't take long to hear that his younger brother fell in love with a young man, and even clamored that he would not marry him. If the other party did not marry, he would call it quits. Red dust.At that time, many people were shocked. After seeing the young man, Wang Xiujin only had one feeling that his cousin spoiled him by matching him.

There is nothing to say about the young man's appearance or temperament, but after getting along with him, he will have a feeling of kneeling.The voice of the young man is still good, but the tone is definitely the tone of Wuhan, and the family affairs are clean, and he is not the only child in the family. When the Li family asked a matchmaker to come to propose marriage, the cousin went with him, staring at the other party. Slobber.The young man was handsome, and the people who passed by the Li family were very satisfied after seeing him, and the other family was not a busy person, so the matter was settled after a few contacts.

Don't look at the young man who looks gentle and polite, looks like a talented person, his martial strength and lion's roar are beyond the top, ordinary people can't compare.Of course, everyone only discovered these after they got married, but my cousin loved it so much, and the others... couldn't do much except watch a play.

After the marriage of the two cousins ​​was completed, Master Li and his wife embarked on the journey of defending the army with his wife.The three-day running water banquet in the Li family has also become another thing that people like to talk about in the capital besides the storyteller competition. It was soon forgotten by the people after another incident happened. When it came out, it immediately aroused the anger of the people.They are very supportive of the current imperial court, especially the emperor. Years of tax cuts have given them a lot of money in their hands. In case of disasters, they provide food. The thing about the roof falling down on a snowy day.In the rainy season, let the soldiers go to the river to build dams... In short, the emperor won the hearts of the people, and the people were very unhappy when they wanted to overthrow the emperor. Who can guarantee that the new emperor can be better than this? Holding the emperor's tablet and burning incense every day, I just want to let the emperor live a few more years and make their lives better.

The emperor in the palace listened to the words passed by his followers, and felt emotional in his heart. It was not his idea to send soldiers to repair the houses of the people, but the Li family's actions, but they did not make a name for themselves, but used his Name, the emperor expressed his gratitude for the loyalty of the Li family. "Give me a long life card? And burn incense every day!" The emperor laughed heartily, and after laughing, he was thinking. Why didn't he want to live a few more years? The appearance of the fourth child really made him feel a lot, but other Several princes... It's not that they are not without ambitions, but he is even more worried about handing it over to any of them. At least the fourth child is in charge. With his friendship with the imperial merchants, the Li family, and the Wang family, as long as he does not make any disqualifications The three families will help him secure the throne, and after that, the emperor can only sigh, how can he manage the affairs after so long.

There has never been such a thing as a public trial of a courtier who conspired against him. Naturally, there are different voices in the court. Some people think that family ugliness should not be publicized, while others think that it should be used as an example.I also said to those who opposed it, do you also have some ulterior motives, so you strongly oppose it, because you are afraid that one day, you will be in the same position?

The quarrel in the courtroom did not affect Wang Xiujin. At this time, Wang Xiujin and shopkeeper Wang were standing in the courtyard of the children's school that was being repaired, "The house is a bit short! At least three to four floors are enough, and the hut is not available outside. , It’s not okay to let the children go outside to go to the toilet in winter, what should I do if I’m cold? There are too many stones in the backyard, what’s the use of keeping those things, if the children are naughty, what if they climb up and fall down?” Wang Xiujin shook his head, After a long silence, a decision was made, "Tear it down, everything will be demolished and rebuilt."

"If it is rebuilt, I am afraid it will not be completed until next autumn at the earliest." Shopkeeper Wang remembered that the owner was in a hurry, so why was he not in a hurry all of a sudden?

"Let's come next year! Let's start with the back yard first, and let the workers learn to read in the front yard first." Wang Xiujin frowned, and spoke after a long silence.

Shopkeeper Wang deliberately said that the land is not too small, but he is not the owner, so he can only do as the owner says.It's just a year late, it's okay, what he thought was hopeless, now he can make a comeback, one year, he can still afford to wait.

After finishing the school, Wang Xiujin was going to go to the mountain where he was hired to take a look. As soon as he went out, he saw the relatives of the Gunpowder Workshop waiting at the door. Wait, it really shouldn't be."

"I stopped people from letting them in. It's not an urgent matter. It's okay to wait for a while." The follower waved his hand, "The last time I tested the cannon, I made a look in the ministry workshop you mentioned. Can you show me? "The follower didn't dare to be arrogant anymore, and felt that the things that came out of the workshop were safe.

"Success, go and have a look." Wang Xiujin told Shopkeeper Wang to go back first.After saluting to his entourage, shopkeeper Wang did not leave first. Instead, he watched his boss and his entourage leave before he went to find the fourth prince's construction team. Overthrowing and rebuilding did not happen by just finding someone, he had to hire the construction team. become.

When I arrived at the gunpowder workshop, I saw that the new machine was wider and higher than the last time I saw it. I heard that it was said that an outer layer was added, and four pipes and eight pieces of saltpeter were installed on the inside. When the car moves, it can automatically make ice, and the pipeline will also rotate. During the rotation, the ice will turn into water, and then when it passes through the saltpeter, it will form ice.

Although Wang Xiujin didn't see how the pipeline works, but sitting in the car, he really didn't feel stuffy, and at the same time he didn't feel damp.After sitting in the car for a while, Wang Xiujin looked surprised. This thing is quite good, and it can be used in the car. If there is something that can be heated, use saltpeter in summer and another kind in winter. It can completely guarantee the warmth of the car. Xia Liang, he remembered that there seemed to be something that could make the water boil when put in the water, what was it...

Coming out of Gunpowder Workshop, Wang Xiujin could only think about what could make water boil, but in his previous life, he was really poor at chemistry, so he couldn't think of anything, so he had to give up.Back home, when Wang Xiujin saw Li Sushan, he still asked. Unexpectedly, did Li Sushan know that such a thing existed?It's a pity that Li Sushan didn't know if such a thing existed.

"I think there should be." First he expressed his ignorance, and then seeing Wang Xiujin's disappointment, Li Sushan couldn't bear to see it, so he comforted him, "Think about it, everything in the world is mutually generated and restrained, since there is something that can turn water into ice Saltpeter, then there should be something that can turn ice into water immediately." Li Sushan saw that Wang Xiujin was still silent after he finished speaking, so he thought of my little dad, "Why don't you ask my little dad, who was a grocery store back then. The shopkeeper, of course, I have seen many treasures, maybe there is such a thing."

After Wang Xiujin thought about it, he felt that it made sense, so he and Li Sushan immediately went to see his father.Shopkeeper Mi was silent for a long time after hearing the reason for the two people's coming, "It seems to be there, but I don't know if it will turn the water into hot water like you said. And I don't quite remember where this thing went. gone."
