my brother champion

Outside Chang'an City, near Nan Daying.

After half a year of rectification, Ouyang Zhi's blacksmith shop is expanding day by day.

There are many apprentices and old blacksmiths.

Thanks to Huo Guang's help, the blacksmith shop can reach its current scale.Just as he said, set up a blacksmith's shop for Ouyang Zhi in the name of the court.

Ah!
It's really just hanging around, and the court didn't send a penny of money or manpower to come in.

All from Huo Guang.

Therefore, this blacksmith's shop is actually Huo Guang's private property.

Just this time.

Huo Guang saw that Ouyang Zhi always followed the orders of those old blacksmiths to do things. Huo Guang couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward to pull him and said, "Ouyang Zhi, come here."

Ouyang Zhi thought there was something wrong, so he followed and asked, "What orders does Marquis Bo Lu have?"

Since he was able to strike iron in an aboveboard manner again, the blacksmith Ouyang Zhi respected Huo Guang very much.

no way.

When Ouyang Zhi was born, he continued his father's career as a blacksmith.

When I was a child, I watched my father blacksmith.

When I was young, I tried to forge iron by myself, and when I was middle-aged, I forged iron alone.

Now that we are half-aged and not old, the imperial court no longer strikes iron for private individuals.All his life, he can only forge iron, if he can't forge iron in the future, he doesn't know what is the meaning of his life.

Fortunately it is.

After meeting Bo Luhou, now, there is a blacksmith's shop in the name of the imperial court, and he can do what he can do again.

Huo Guang looked at Ouyang Zhi who was respectful to him, frowned and asked, "Ouyang Zhi, did Ben Hou tell you last month that this blacksmith's shop will be handed over to you in the future."

Hearing Huo Guang's words,

Ouyang Zhi immediately nodded and said, "En."

Huo Guang continued to ask: "Then what are you doing? I asked you to manage the blacksmith's shop. What is your opinion? Why do you do what other old blacksmiths ask you to do? Why is that little apprentice standing there with his legs crossed? What are you doing?"

Only then did Ouyang Zhi say: "The apprentice is Zheng Tiejiang's grandson, so he is not left to work alone, and Zheng Tiejiang was a famous blacksmith before!"

Hearing Ouyang Zhi's justification, Huo Guang said frankly: "I don't care what he is, I opened this blacksmith's shop because you can make gun barrels!"

"They take my high wages to do the work they should be doing in the blacksmith's shop!"

"I made this shop bigger in the hope that the monthly production of matchlock gun barrels could increase."

"You know what I mean, don't you?"

"Benhou doesn't want to see such a thing when I come next time. I hope you can be the manager of this shop!"

Hear Huo Guang's words.

Ouyang Zhi, a middle-aged man, could only nod his head.

immediately.

Huo Guang patted Ouyang Zhi on the shoulder and said, "Actually, I shouldn't have said these things to you. You are older than me, and you should understand some things."

"There is no such thing as a free lunch."

"Okay, I'll go back first, and you decide what to do next."

Done.

Huo Guang left.

During this year, Ouyang Zhi has already informed these blacksmiths how to make iron pipes.The rest of the blacksmiths also know how to produce, and the quality is not much inferior to Ouyang Zhi.

Because most of the recruits were experienced old blacksmiths with skills in hand.

So this shop cannot operate without Ouyang Zhi.

But the method of making the gun barrel was figured out by Ouyang Zhi after three years of pondering.

and so.

Huo Guang hoped that this blacksmith shop would be managed by Ouyang Zhi, and he didn't want to do something that would kill all the birds.

But if Ouyang Zhi really can't manage the shop.

It is still necessary to find someone who can manage to take over the blacksmith shop.

Huo Guang, who left the blacksmith's shop, first walked around the South Day Camp to see if Zhao Daniu was making trouble in the barracks.

This guy has performed well in the past year, and he has already taken the position of Shichang, and he is in charge of ten soldiers.

see.

Huo Guang left the barracks without saying anything to him.

Get in the carriage and go all the way back to Huo Mansion in Chang'an to see Shan'er.The little guy is two years old and has already learned to walk, but he often stumbles.

So the servants in the mansion do nothing every day, just follow behind the little guy.

Seeing this, Huo Guang picked up Huo Shan and said, "Hey, Shan'er is so powerful that he can run! But why can't he speak? Call Father Zhong to listen?"

"Yeah!"

Little Huo Shan seemed very happy, humming something childishly in his mouth.

Huo Guang couldn't understand either.

It is estimated that this is shouting!
While teasing the little guy, at this time, the shopkeeper of the restaurant hurriedly came to the mansion, found Huo Guang and said, "My lord, my lord, something is wrong!"

Xiao Huo Shan seemed a little shy.

See you and come over.

Immediately cried out in fright.

Huo Guang had no choice but to coax him up, then glared at Bu San, and said, "What's so flustered?"

Bu San hurriedly leaned close to Huo Guang's ear, and said a few words in detail.

After hearing this, Huo Guang's expression changed immediately, and he said, "What, Mrs. Wei just finished the crowning ceremony two days ago, and started acting like a demon!"

Huo Guang's crown ceremony was held when he was 15 years old.

The crowning ceremony of Mrs. Wei was held at the age of 16.

That's what happened a few days ago.

The general said that Mrs. Wei will be an adult after the crowning ceremony, so no matter what Mrs. Wei does in the future, he will not be bothered.

then.

Mrs. Wei, who grew up from a small chubby man to a big chubby man, became even more rebellious in his behavior.

But this kind of rebellion is not the kind of loud rebellion when I was a child, but doing some stupid things silently.

If it's just a normal mess.

But what he did has already endangered Wei and Huo's family!

This made Huo Guang very angry.

Get up.

Handed over Huo Shan to his sister-in-law, and then came to the restaurant with Bu San.

The music here is still the music here four years ago.

Most people, it seems, are still who they appear to be.

just.

Time is passing, and some things are gradually decaying with the erosion of the years.

Led by Bu San, Huo Guang came to the vault of the Le Restaurant.

This is where Huo Guang and Mrs. Wei kept the money they earned after they opened the restaurant.

But as the money is getting more and more, it will soon be too much.

So a place was vacated to hold those copper coins, and this place became a place to put precious items.

Such as horseshoe gold or some valuable jade articles.

There are two keys to this vault.

One belongs to Huo Guang, and the other belongs to Mrs. Wei. After all, he and Mrs. Wei jointly opened the restaurant when they were young.

And as the restaurant's affairs are fully managed by Bu San, the owner of the key, as early as a few years ago, was handed over to Bu San, the shopkeeper of the restaurant.

Huo Guang pointed to the vault, and then said, "Open it and have a look."

"Okay, young master, take a look, don't be surprised later." Bu San said, he took out the key, unlocked the vault, and then opened the door of the small vault.

Come into view.

It is the horseshoe gold accumulated over the years.

The gold of the Han Dynasty is hard to say about its purity, but it is indeed real gold.

Then there are some relatively good jade wares and some antiques left over from the Yin, Shang, Zhou, Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.

Modern people play with antiques.

For example, things from the Han Dynasty, in modern times, are antiques.

The same reason.

Things from the Yin and Shang dynasties were considered antiques to the Han people in the Han Dynasty.

The Qin Dynasty is very close to the Han Dynasty, and the Qin Dynasty is very short, so there is nothing in the treasury that particularly highlights the Qin Dynasty.

As for the Xia Dynasty.

Huo Guang did not collect any special objects.

For one thing, the Xia Dynasty was too far away even for the Han Dynasty.

Second come.

The Xia Dynasty, a country that counts as the beginning of the Central Plains Dynasty, is actually very small in terms of land area.

It doesn't sound good.

It is actually a country composed of several tribes. How big can it be?

Including the later unified Qin Dynasty, the land area is actually not large.The land of the Six Kingdoms is nothing more than the Central Plains, how big can it be?
The large-scale expansion of the land area of ​​the Central Plains Dynasty actually started in the hands of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Regardless of merit.

Only talk about the land area of ​​​​the dynasty.

The end of Qin Shihuang is actually only the beginning of Han Wudi.

This is not to belittle Qin Shihuang, but the reason why the latecomers took the lead.After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty will continue to grow bigger and bigger.

Of course, we are talking about dynasty here.

Small countries don't count.

Huo Guang looked at the densely packed precious items in the small treasury, and said, "I didn't expect that there are so many precious items here, it's not a good thing."

"Forget it, let's deal with it later."

"No, what about the things Mr. Wei put here?"

heard.

Bu Sancai said to Huo Guang, "Master, it's in the box, but I don't have the key to the box."

"The key?" Huo Guang raised his eyebrows, and finally changed his mind and asked, "No, are you sure that the thing Mrs. Wei spent money to trade with others is something that can't be seen?"

heard.

Do not nod triple emphatically.

Huo Guang then pulled out his saber and chopped it down.

Officials of the Han Dynasty basically liked to carry swords when they traveled, so as to show their martial spirit.

There are also a few people who like to travel with a knife.

Knife.

Naturally, it is the ring head knife.

But this type is basically people in the army, like Huo Guang.

The ring-shou knife had a thick back and a sharp blade. Huo Guang slammed it down with all his strength, sparks flew everywhere, and the lock was also smashed to the ground.

The quality of the lock is okay.

But the quality of the box is average.

It fell off the lock directly, but it was okay.

Without further ado, Huo Guang stepped forward to open the wooden box, and he really found those shady things that Ru Busan had mentioned - the nine-orifice jade plug!
These are very precious jade wares of the Han Dynasty.

just.

It is not something for living people!

Huo Guang didn't even understand, what did Mrs. Wei do collecting these things, didn't he feel bad luck?
"Go, call Yichun Marquis Wei." Huo Guang said to Bu San solemnly, just when Bu San responded and was about to call someone, Huo Guang continued: "Also call the general, let my uncle come. "

"Yes, son."

After hearing the sound, he followed Huo Guang's instructions to do things.

Mrs. Wei's temper is very strong now!
Huo Guang, a man of the same age, can't control Mrs. Wei.After all, both of them are marquises, and it is true that he is the Marquis of Bolu, but he is also the real Marquis of Yichun.

So this matter.

It can only be handed over to uncle Wei Qing.

Even though Mrs. Wei has already performed the coronation ceremony, Wei Qing, as his father, can still teach him a lesson.

It is not too much to kill Mrs. Wei with one blow.

It is not a matter of course in the Han Dynasty that the father kills the son.But the father of the Han Dynasty had this right.

About it.

You can refer to the future Golden Ridge.

Since the general had to be busy with some things, after he didn't go to inform, Mrs. Wei, the Marquis of Yichun who had nothing to do on weekdays, came here first.

"Hey, old cousin, aren't you busy everywhere? Why did someone tell you to touch my things today?" Mrs. Wei was talking, but suddenly found that next to Huo Guang was the small wooden box he put in the vault.

seem.

He also knows that these things are not good for people to see.

and so.

very nervous.

Huo Guang smiled coldly and said, "Hmph, move your things? If I don't move your things now, someone will move your head in a few days."

however.

Threat to Huo Guang.

Mrs. Wei turned a deaf ear to it, and even retorted: "What nonsense are you talking about? This Marquis is the son of a great general, the Marquis of Yichun proclaimed by His Majesty, who dares to touch my head!"

Done.

He also glared at Huo Guang, and then angrily closed the wooden box.

in fact.

In the past two years, the relationship between Huo Guang and Mrs. Wei has not been very good.

I am busy working for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so I have no time to pay attention to this unlucky thing.After the death of his biological mother, Mrs. and Mrs. Wei have not taken the initiative to associate with Huo Guang.

among them.

When relationships are at their worst.

Nothing better than when Wei Qing took Princess Pingyang.

Huo Guang was still living in the General's Mansion at that time, so he naturally wanted to call Princess Pingyang his aunt. At that time, Mrs. Wei and Huo Guang's seldom spoke.

Contradictions are inevitable.

"No one dares to touch your head? Humph, Mrs. Wei, if you weren't my old cousin, I would have chopped off your head long ago." Huo Guang stared at Mrs. Wei fiercely.

Subsequently.

He pointed to the wooden box that Mrs. Wei was about to take away, and said, "Hurry up and tell me, who did you trade these things with? Don't say that I will die when something happens."

Mrs. Wei was not afraid of Huo Guang, and said directly: "I spent money to buy it from some ranger brothers, if anything happens, get out of the way, and don't make trouble for me."

Kindness to Huo Guang.

Mrs. Wei doesn't appreciate it, and his temperament is no longer the same as when he was a child.

See each other to go.

Huo Guang didn't care about the other party's face at that moment, he went straight to it, not only grabbed the wooden box he was going to take away, but also took it away.

"You idiot, you dare to take these shady things out in broad daylight?"

"You just wait for me!"

Done.

Huo Guang tied it up with a rope.

Subsequently.

He didn't do anything, just stayed here until the arrival of General Wei Qing.

Wei Qing didn't realize what was going on at this time, but when he came in, he found that his big son was tied up here by his unrelated nephew Huo Guang.

"Huo Guang, are you and Mrs. Wei having some kind of conflict?"

see.

Huo Guang was about to move the wooden box, and explained in front of General Wei Qing: "Uncle, Mrs. Wei said, these are all things he bought from people with money!"

Wei Qing heard the words.

Immediately glanced at the wooden box.

Good guy.

I don’t know if I don’t look at it, but I’m startled when I see it.Inside, it's all stuff for the dead.

Immediately.

General Wei Qing scolded Mrs. Wei: "You idiot, what are you doing buying these things, because your father is not dead yet!"

The son buys valuable things for the dead, and they are of a more personal kind. Generally speaking, they are reserved for the father.

The nine-orifice jade plug is designed to plug all the holes in the human body.

The general would mistakenly think that Mrs. Wei bought it for him, which is normal.

But Huo Guang reminded: "Uncle, are you a bit biased? Why don't you think about the reason why I showed you this thing?"

"Impossible"

"Haven't you heard of the theft of coins from Emperor Wen's Tomb in Chang'an City these days?" (End of this chapter)
