Ma'am help, the general is in trouble again

Chapter 177
The abbot looked out of the window lattice, it was already a field of spring flowers blooming, winter was about to end, spring was born and autumn was killed, the seasons rotated, just like the passage of time this year, quietly.

He said lightly, "Did you send someone to assassinate Yu Wencheng?"

"Do you think an ordinary assassin can kill him? It's not an assassin, but a big gift. I just hope he can be more cautious and don't kill him by mistake."

"Based on his temperament that he would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one person go, even if there is a hidden danger in this gift of yours, he will probably accept it." The abbot drank the fragrant bitter tea in his hand.

At this time, a young novice came in with a stack of lists.

"Abbot, everyone, this is the register of the guests, craftsmen and entourage of the "Jichun Craftsman's Guild". Do you need to read it now?"

The abbot glanced at it indifferently, seeing Gongshu Jiruo's eyes fixed on the roster, and said: "Then take it here."

The little novice handed over the register respectfully, and after the host took it, he asked by the way, "How is the situation at the venue?"

"Everything is going well. The artisans and merchants of the Seven Kingdoms are full of praise for the exhibits of the Jichun Artisan Union."

"Well, tell the monk to keep an eye on the venue. If anyone makes trouble or damages the exhibits, report it to the public loser immediately to deal with it."

He directly blamed Gongshu Jiruo in front of Gongshu Jiruo, resolutely not asking for trouble.

The "Jichun Craftsman's Union" was originally organized by their public loser. He received "incense money" to provide the venue, but he was not responsible for the remaining after-sales issues.

Of course, if they are willing to set a different price, he can also cover this matter.

As expected of the little monk who was taught by the abbot, he said without changing his face: "Wu Qi knows."

"Go down."

When Gongshuo waited for the novice monk to leave, he reached out for the register, and the abbot handed it over to him, saying: "This year is particularly lively, it seems that this time, you Gonglou family will recruit many top-notch craftsmen under your command. "

Although the public losers are from a family of craftsmen, they can survive for so many generations in Beiyuan Kingdom and have a pivotal position. Naturally, they have their way of survival, and at the same time they have their way of securing power.

"There are as many as one hundred categories of exhibits, and more than a thousand kinds of exhibits. It is indeed bigger than in previous years."

Gongshu turned over the directory register, and after browsing through the items, he purposely found the page where Yu Wensheng was registered.

He was so confident and arrogant that he didn't use a pseudonym.

Artisans of Ye State.

Participate in the exhibit of "Jichun Craftsman Union" - Panlong carriage.

Craftsmen: Ah Qing, Mu Gaoyi, Shi Hetong.

The accompanying person——Yu Wensheng...

"Why did this person named Ah Qing register as the number one among exhibitors?" He felt puzzled.

If Gongshu had stayed in Yuwensheng's Changxunpo camp as "Master Li" before, he knew that Mu Gaoyi and Shi Hetong were already among the top craftsmen in the group of craftsmen. On the contrary, this man named "Aqing" Man, he'd never heard of it.

But this time, in the registration of craftsmen who signed up for the competition, his name was filled in before Mu Gaoyi, Shi Hetong.

Generally speaking, if a piece of woodwork is made by multiple people, then the names are sorted according to their contributions.

"Ah Qing?" The abbot leaned over from the coffee table, glanced at the roster, his eyes sparkled slightly: "It's him, he is the one I mentioned just now who has a predestined relationship with Buddha."

"How is this person?" Gongshu Jiruo suddenly asked.

The abbot said: "Looking at his face, he is stable and kind, but a scar on his brow ruined the perfection of his face. The poor monk originally thought that such a person should be taciturn and changeable, lonely and indifferent when dealing with things. But I don't want to..."

"Don't want what?"

The abbot stopped talking, but he didn't continue to talk about "Ah Qing", he said thoughtfully: "Guan Yuwensheng's attitude towards him, this Ah Qing thinks that he is confident to participate in Jichun Carpenter this time. The union's secret weapon."

Gongshu Jiruo is not thinking about this at the moment.

He didn't understand, it is impossible for Yu Wensheng to leave Zheng Quchi alone in Fu County. Facing the vengeance of the public loser and the Mo family, without Yu Wensheng's resistance, Zheng Quchi would only become a lamb and be torn apart by him.

But Zheng Quchi was obviously not in his team...

"Beside Yu Wencheng, is there a woman... or a man who is about five feet (about 1.5 meters) tall?" Gongshu Jiruo asked.

"Five feet below?" The abbot, that is, Miku thought about it for a while, and replied: "Not at all."

"Nothing?"

Even if Gongshu didn't know that the current Zheng Quchi was no longer the same as before.

She is now Ah, Zheng Quchi, and Qing. She not only wears Fu Rong's special inner height-increasing insoles, but also exercises hard when she is free during this time, practicing the art of softening bones, and taking herbal diet tonic. , people immediately raised a lot.

It is roughly estimated that she has grown from an initial height of 1.4 meters to a net height of about 1.5 meters. In addition, she wears shoes that are plain on the surface but actually increase by 1.6 centimeters inside, and she is at least [-] meters tall.

It is precisely because her current false height is only a little short among men, but it is no longer as abrupt as before, so no one will attack her with her height and call her a dwarf.

"impossible……"

Could it be that Yu Wensheng secretly sent her to another place and did not bring her with him?
But people like him don't trust anyone, even if Gongshu believes in Yu Wensheng, he will only be at ease when he brings important things with him, but now there is no one who suspects Zheng Quchi.

"You're looking for such a short person, but the poor monk didn't see him, but speaking of them, Ah Qing is the only one who is slightly shorter, but his height is far from the five feet you mentioned."

"You mean that Ah Qing?"

"It's him. If there are no accidents, he should be the top craftsman of their Ye Kingdom's exhibits."

If Gongshu continued to find their entries: "Panlong carriage..." He was slightly surprised: "It's a carriage?"

The abbot was amused, and he said: "Is this considered playing tricks in front of public losers? Beiyuan country has the top craftsmanship in car manufacturing, but now they are using a horse-drawn carriage to participate in the exhibition. What kind of country are they planning to embarrass?" ?”

Gongshu knew Yu Wencheng better than the abbot, he said: "Yu Wencheng is not stupid, but this proves that he thinks their Ye Kingdom's carriage can stand out."

The abbot pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then called the little novice monk: "Wu Qi, you go to the venue to take a look around and see which exhibits have aroused the great interest of the merchants so far, and which exhibition space is the most popular."

Wu Qi nodded: "Yes."

-

Wu Qi soon arrived at the venue, but he found that there were not as many people as before he left. Some of the exhibits on the antique racks were not cared about, especially the "color"-based artworks here, so he He curiously asked the monks who were stationed around.

Wu Qiyuan poked his head left and right, and asked, "Senior brother, didn't there were many people here before? Why are there so many fewer people when I walk around?"

The martial monk brother told him: "People who are not interested after reading it all ran to the large equipment exhibition hall."

Wu Qi's eyes widened: "Oh, is there anything special over there?"

The venue is so big that Wu Qi has been busy working and has not finished shopping, so there are many exhibits that are unclear.

Brother Wu Monk had a cold and stern face, and he replied: "I have been stationed here, and I don't know what's going on there, go and see for yourself."

"Okay then, thank you brother, I'm leaving."

Wu Qi trotted all the way, afraid of missing something, when he came to the spacious booth on the west side, as soon as he approached, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

I saw tens of hundreds of people gathered around a booth, crowded and noisy, as if there was some treasure to be snatched.

As soon as Wu Qi saw this scene, he remembered the abbot's explanation, and hurried back to report.

This is definitely what the abbot said, which has aroused great interest among merchants and is the most popular exhibition site.

Seeing that Wu Qi came back so soon, Mi Ku was a little surprised when he heard what he reported.

He said: "I think those merchants are also well-informed people, why did they cause a scene of siege and looting because of an exhibit?"

If Gongshu asked Wu Qi, "What exhibit is it?"

Wu Qi replied: "There were too many people in the large equipment exhibition hall at that time, and Wu Qi felt that he couldn't squeeze in, so he hurried back to report first."

"Where is the exhibition site?" the abbot asked.

Wu Qi is very familiar with the location of the meeting place, because he and a group of Wuzhi's brothers and sisters arranged the meeting place. He recalled it for a while, and then revealed the specific location.

Mi Ku dug out the roster, checked it against the registration positions of the various exhibits, and finally settled his fingertips on the "Panlong Chariot".

Mi Ku looked slightly startled.

"That's right, come and see."

Even if Gongshu saw his strange expression, he walked over and saw the "coiling dragon carriage" that Miku was referring to.

Both of them looked very surprised at the moment, and then became suspicious.

"This Panlong carriage belongs to Yu Wencheng and the others..." Mi Ku suddenly smiled, he raised his wide robe sleeves and folded his clothes: "You are right, Yu Wencheng is indeed not to be underestimated, Not only is he not stupid, he is also extremely powerful, I am very curious about what is so special about this Panlong carriage, why don't we go and have a look together?"

Even if the public loser is true, he is also curious. As a public loser, he naturally has skills that he is proud of. He doesn't think that anyone in Ye State can surpass them in car manufacturing.

He considered for a moment, and replied: "Okay."

-

Speaking of which, the "Jichun Craftsman's Guild" has been in operation for decades, and it is able to hold such a grand event every year. In addition to attracting the attractive bonuses, it is also the winner of this conference, and can ask for a "lottery" .

Although there is no expressly stipulated what this "lottery head" is, in history, every winner has begged for the blueprint of the equipment that has been admired for a long time from the public loser.

The blueprint of the public loser is worth a thousand dollars, because with only this blueprint, anyone who understands it thoroughly and can make it completely will basically be able to gain both fame and fortune in the end.

Therefore, it is the dream of every craftsman to be a leader in the "Jichun Craftsman's Guild".

But because of this, it is not an easy task to become the leader and winner of the "Jichun Artisan Association". The competition is too great, and only the top ten can be shortlisted.

Just think about it, just like this year's "Jichun Craftsman's Union", there are thousands of exhibits, and only ten can be shortlisted in the end.

Thousands make ten, ten make one.

Among the thousand products, the only person with one weapon can be the best.

Some of these exhibits are quite special. In order to prevent the voters from understanding the connotation, we will specially arrange people to give explanations in front of the exhibits.

Most of the functions of large-scale equipment are limited by the venue and cannot be displayed on the exhibition site one by one. Therefore, it is also for the purpose of canvassing votes by providing personnel with detailed introductions to others.

The merchants who can appear here are all well-connected and well-connected people in the Seven Kingdoms. They are all very shrewd, and they belong to the category of not seeing the rabbit but not the eagle.

So if you want to put the "spring reward money" that they are holding tightly in your pocket, there is nothing special about it, so don't even think about it.

As Mi Ku, the abbot of Wujue Temple, said, these merchants are well-informed people who have traveled far and wide, although they were all attracted by the coiling dragon carriage built by Zheng Quchi...

The luxurious configuration, the luxurious enjoyment, and the top-notch appearance, then... In short, looking good is not necessarily really good, it has to have real practical value.

Some of them "consumed" impulsively, but others remained cautious and asked various questions to the introducer.

"This craftsman, is this carriage designed and manufactured by you?"

"That's right. I just asked those two people. They said it was designed by a person named Ah Qing. Are you that Ah Qing?"

"Are you artisans from Ye State? Or are you just artisans who were paid a lot of money by Ye State? I really don't believe that the people of Ye State can still have such craftsmanship.

Zheng Quchi was surrounded, and she saw these merchants approaching aggressively, like hungry green-eyed wolves.

But she is not afraid of occasions. Of course, at this moment, she must first deny her identity.

Because at the "Jichun Craftsman's Union", craftsmen cannot take the initiative to sell their exhibits to merchants. This is a voluntary and independent investment.

Once one's identity as an exhibit craftsman is exposed, the light ones will disrupt the order of the venue and fail to abide by the rules of the "Jichun Craftsman's Union", and the serious ones will be easily cheated and sold by those with intentions, which will eventually cause heavy losses.

You must know that profiteers and profiteers are not just playing around. There is no profiteering and no business. Without the manipulation and operation of the "Jichun Artisan Union" behind the scenes, ordinary craftsmen directly negotiate business with merchants, and they will be cheated to death.

It should be said that the reputation of the middleman "Jichun Craftsman Union" has always been leveraged in the industry.

"You heard me wrong, my name is not Ah Qing, but if you have any questions about this Panlong carriage, I can answer you."

"We are the artisans of the Ye State, and we do not mix any fakes. And this Panlong carriage was also designed and manufactured by the artisans of the Ye State, without the assistance or participation of any artisans from other countries!"

She chatted with the group of businessmen, and only regarded herself as an answering tool, answering all kinds of difficult and miscellaneous questions from them.

After hearing that she claimed to be a "Ye country craftsman", all the merchants couldn't believe it, and even many people were like pouring cold water on them, and they were no longer in the previous excited and enthusiastic mood.

What kind of things are made by the artisans of the Ye Kingdom? People who travel to and from various countries, still don't know what kind of things they make?
