Your majesty is awesome

Chapter 366 Good news from the smuggling business with Xixia (second update)

After all, Laozi traveled to the Northern Song Dynasty not to make money, but to prevent the destruction of the Northern Song Dynasty, make the country of the Great Song Dynasty prosper, and get rid of the fate of being bullied and enslaved by foreign races.

Use it to recruit troops?Please, this is Tokyo City, recruiting troops here, what else could it be if it's not just death?
This made Gao Zhang very painful. If he had money, he had to do something, or else, do some other business?

But counting with fingers, the cotton cloth workshop at Duan's Trading Co. is getting bigger and bigger.

In addition, after cooperating with Naxixia before, they actually purchased a batch of cotton from Naxixia.

Duan Zhongping told Gao Zhang that this year, the three military divisions in Xixia alone have signed with him a purchase contract of nearly 120 million catties of seed cotton.

According to the yield per mu of cotton in this era, one mu of dry land can produce less than a hundred catties of seed cotton.

Although the 120 million catties of seed cotton were divided among the three military divisions, and one military division used tens of thousands of acres of dry land to plant cotton, the amount was not too much.

But the problem is that 120 million catties of seed cotton will need 15 mu of dry land to grow.

An acre of dry land can only harvest about one stone of grain, and the three military divisions of Xixia are equivalent to harvesting less than 15 stone of grain.

Hehe... The corner of Gao Zhang's mouth couldn't help but twitch. Although 15 shi is not much food, for that poor Xixia, if he is not careful, it may become a fatal straw.

It's only 15 mu of dry land, which is really too little, but Gao Zhang is very confident. I paid a high price, so I don't believe that you will stop after you have tasted the sweetness this year.

The purchase price of one hundred catties of cotton is enough to buy three to four shi of grain, just to make them profitable.

Otherwise, how could it be possible to seduce them to dare to take risks to give up all kinds of food and grow cotton instead?

It's just that now, a batch of cotton cloth has been put on the market on a small scale, which can be said to be widely acclaimed.

It's just that because the output is not enough, so I dare not put in a large amount, most of the cotton cloth is still accumulated in the warehouse.

I don't know when Shizun will release himself outside. In Bianliang City, Tokyo, there are naturally many benefits. You can lick Shizun every day, and continue to brush your favor BUFF if you have nothing to do.

But one bad thing is that it is difficult for him to flex his muscles under the nose and do things that should and should not be done.

This made Gao Zhang couldn't help letting out a deep sigh, and touched his little arms and legs, Gao Zhang really hoped that he would grow up soon.

It is good to be entrusted with the important task by the faint emperor and master as soon as possible, and possess the powerful power and influence that can influence the Song Dynasty.

After thinking about it for a long time, Gao Zhang finally put aside his complicated thoughts, walked aside, and came to the meticulous painting that had been drawn for more than half.

#####
This meticulous painting is naturally the masterpiece of Gao Zhang, a top student in an art school.

The composition of this meticulous painting is very delicate, but seeing the haze rolling above it, it looks like a fairyland.

And a fairy, sitting on the cloud drive, squinted his eyes slightly, and raised his hand to caress his short beard.

Even if it is for people to get a closer look, no matter the beard, hair or facial features are painted very delicately, making the immortals in the painting look so lifelike.

In the agile eyes, there is a temperament and light that looks at Yunjuanyunshu lightly.

Standing beside him was a peerless fairy, holding a palace lantern as if illuminating the smoky road in front of him.

And in the back, there are also immortals playing flutes and dancing.

And near the left, a god general with a white face and beardless, holding a weapon and posing a loyal appearance stood not far away.

His eyebrows are tightly knit, and he looks around vigilantly, as if he is guarding the safety of the fairy in the painting.

Naturally, a loyal hound is also indispensable, sitting at the knee of the fairy at the moment, with his eyes wide open, looking around.

And in this painting, there is also a thin and thin figure from the back, which can be seen at a glance, this should be a young man.

At this moment, the young man put on a posture of praying devoutly, and the object of his prayer was naturally the fairy in the painting.

If the faint king, Zhao Ji, were here, he would definitely recognize him at first sight, that the fairy king is him, and the fairy who is all over the world is his old friend, teacher, teacher and girl.

As for the god general, it was Yang Jian, and that dog, needless to say, was the god dog roaring.

This is what Gao Zhang was thinking about, looking for an opportunity to give to Master Hunjun and earn a lot of money from Master.

Gao Zhang carefully prepared this painting for a long time, and the structural drawing alone has been revised many times.

I dare not say that all the characters in this painting can achieve [-]% similarity. At least it can be said that out of ten people who know the official Zhao Ji, nine of them will raise their thumbs and say they are exactly the same.

There is another one who is either blind or deliberately looking for faults, such as an evil animal like Cai Laoliu.

After all, as a high-achieving art school student with an art examination background, the basic skills of sketching are there, and if he has no skills, he will not be able to break through.

After scrutinizing it for a long time, the sky in the distance is still surrounded by blue smoke. Gao Zhang calmed down and continued to paint conscientiously.

At this moment, a fast-horse messenger from the south of the Yangtze River was galloping towards Bianliang, Tokyo.

#####
Liang Shicheng was in his room, facing the "Thousand-Character Essay" given to him by Zhao Ji, an official before, and seriously copying it there.

After a long time of practice, Liang Shicheng finally felt that his thin golden body could finally be used.

However, compared to the "Thousand Characters" written by officials, it is still quite inferior.

It can be said that I have achieved at least [-]% to [-]% similarity in appearance, but Shen Yun is far behind.

This made Liang Shicheng deeply regret that after all, the time he came to the official's side was too short.

The fonts I studied in the past are Yanti. Yanti always pays attention to vertical and horizontal lines.

The thin gold body created by the official himself pays attention to the quick and agile brushwork, and the handwriting is thin and vigorous, so thin without losing its flesh. The large characters are especially graceful and graceful.

It can be said that the styles are completely different, which also makes it very difficult and painful for me to practice.

But fortunately, more than half of the journey of a hundred miles has been traveled, and the rest can only be made up by relying on one's own spirituality and understanding.

After writing the last sentence, Liang Shicheng slowly put down his pen and sighed.

At this moment, a young eunuch walked quickly, came to Liang Shicheng, called his godfather in a low voice, and then handed a letter with a wax seal to Liang Shicheng's hand.

After Liang Shicheng took it, he walked to the light and spread out the letter. He only glanced at it twice, and a dark cloud suddenly appeared between his brows and eyes...
