Time travel is not a slave

Chapter 56 Doing things
"Master Shen, are you serious?"

Shen Shiyi nodded, "Naturally, pay with one hand and contract with the other."

Although the magistrate of Shangjun was puzzled, he still sold the wasteland outside the city near the mountain pass to Shen Shiyi.

"My lord," Lin Ping, who came out of the yamen, couldn't bear it, and asked, "My lord, are you serious? Just buy that piece of mountain land for thousands of taels of silver?"

Shen Shiyi spoke slowly, "Have you ever heard of something called "Yeguang always full cup"?"

After all, Lin Ping grew up in Kyoto. He had heard of some good things even if he had never seen them before. He immediately said, "Of course I have heard of them. I heard that in ancient times, the Western Regions offered tributes to the king of Zhou. It is commonly known as the "luminous cup." ", "Haizhou Qiwenlu" also records, "The cup is the essence of white jade, and it shines brightly at night". It is said that at night, facing the bright moonlight, pouring wine into the cup, the cup body suddenly shines and shines brightly."

Shen Shiyi listened, nodded, and raised his eyes to look at the towering mountains outside the city.

"You mean, the raw material of this "luminous cup" is on this barren mountain?" Lin Ping was surprised.

Shen Shiyi nodded, "Of course, otherwise, what are you doing buying a barren mountain?"

Shen Shiyi asked back, Lin Ping was dumbfounded.

Before Shen Shiyi set off, he had read a lot of local chronicles and signs of mountains and rivers. This is the Qilian jade production area closest to the Central Plains. The reason why Shen Shiyi chose this place was because she did not have much prestige, and no one would be patient. There is success in business from scratch, so she chose something that can see results quickly to prove herself.

The gimmick and great fortune of the "Luminous Cup" can make His Majesty and the people below have confidence in her quickly, so that what she wants to do in the future will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.

At this time, Shangjun has already gathered the skilled craftsmen that Shishi found for her from Jinmen. As long as she can make the first "luminous cup", the next step is her plan to collect wool in Shangjun and produce colored glaze. development.

...

"Master Shen, this mountain wall is steep, you should go back and wait."

Lin Ping and Jiang Yong led their guards, local guides, and skilled craftsmen hired by Shishi to climb the continuous stone hills outside the city. At this time, many days had passed, and after they failed again and again to return to the city, Shen Shiyi finally couldn't sit still. Follow the crowd to find raw materials.

She remembered seeing it with her own eyes once when she was traveling. "Further up!"

Shen Shiyi stood up and looked at the surrounding terrain, looked up, and said firmly.

The craftsmen hesitated.They came here to earn money, if it wasn't for the famous and reputable name of the Jinmen Shen family silk and satin shop, and the huge deposit, they would not have followed the Shen family's second lady to do this unthinkable move.

Since ancient times, searching for dragon acupuncture points and finding mineral veins requires great skill and great opportunity, and it will take decades to leave a blessing for future generations. , few people are reluctant.

However, Second Miss Shen has a high status and takes the lead, so many unwilling voices hang in her throat and cannot be uttered.

"Go! I'll open the way!"

Lin Ping took the lead to lead the way, and Shen Shiyi followed closely behind. Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but they had no choice but to climb up.

"That's it!"

Suddenly, Shen Shiyi held a black stone in his hand and shouted excitedly.

I saw that the place where Shen Shiyi was standing at this time was a little steep. She was standing beside a protruding stone wall, holding the rock with one hand to stabilize her figure, while holding the stone as a signal to everyone.

It's the end of spring and the beginning of summer, and the sun is shining again today. The stone in Shen Shiyi's hand seems to be a bit jade-like.

"careful!"

Lin Ping was on the top, and saw that Shen Shiyi was holding the stone that fixed his figure a little unsteadily in his hands. He just opened his mouth to remind him, and the stone fell off the mountain like an apple being split in half.

Shen Shiyi's hands were empty for an instant, and her heart was also empty, just like she had dreamed thousands of times in her dreams, she fell backwards from the ladder on the roof, she was clearly conscious, but she couldn't do anything.

Fortunately, although Shen Shiyi was standing at a very high position, he fell towards the open space between the two mountains. In addition, the land on the mountain had grown a layer of fluffy grass after several rains, so Shen Shiyi also It's just that the bare skin was cut a few times.

"Fortunately, today I know that the temperature will be low if I climb high, so I specially wore a layer of cotton!"

Shen Shiyi subconsciously protected the rough jade in his hand from falling, and rolled up his body to protect his internal organs.At this time, she held up the stone and signaled to the people who were rushing to chase, "Look! This stone looks inconspicuous, but it is made of jade. You see, when it rubs against ordinary stones, the sound of the body is obviously clear. There is reflection in the sun, look at the sun!"

The people who were still unwilling to look at Mr. Shen like this, suffocated the soreness in their noses, the old craftsman in the lead reached out and took the stone handed over by Shen Shiyi, and looked carefully, "Okay, Mr. Shen, give me the stone." We took out the samples, and then, if we still can't find anything, we can go back to Jinmen."

As he spoke, he waved his arm, "Come up with me to test and see if we can find the rules. Natural minerals like this will only appear around the veins, not scattered. Let's work harder. If we find them, we won't need them for the rest of our lives." Worry!"

All the craftsmen climbed up vigorously, which was obviously different from the weak look just now.

Seeing that everyone was gone, Shen Shiyi grinned and hugged his arm, "My elbow must have hurt, Lin Ping, show me quickly!"

Shen Shiyi turned sideways, motioning for Lin Ping.

Lin Ping, an eight-foot man, almost burst into tears. Where is his elbow? The cotton wool on his entire back was flying off, and the blood soaked out. Lin Ping took out the golden sore medicine that he carried with him, and handed a bottle to Shen Shiyi. "Your Excellency, use a handkerchief to apply some medicinal powder on your face and hands, and turn your back. I will sprinkle some medicinal powder on your back."

Shen Shiyi took the medicine powder, and carefully applied the medicine to the painful area with a handkerchief. When he touched the wound, Shen Shiyi gritted his teeth and dared not make a sound, so he shrank while applying the medicine to himself.

"Fourth prince..." Lin Ping opened his mouth, but for some reason, he couldn't continue speaking in the face of the blood-soaked wound. He held back for a long time before taking a deep breath and speaking again, "My lord is actually a smart person. You should know that you don't have to So hard."

Shen Shiyi cut corners and gave himself medicine, and when the medicine powder dried up on the wound, he looked at Lin Ping and said, "In life, if you don't suffer this kind of hardship, you have to suffer that kind of hardship. After all, the lucky few. Like me People who are close relatives and withdrawn, who want to live a more comfortable life, have to suffer more than others. I would rather suffer some physical pain than suffer mentally."

"Okay, don't feel sorry for me, this pain will pass after a while." Shen Shiyi felt that the wound was almost dry, and no longer soaked in blood, and took the lead to walk down the mountain.
