my brother champion

Chapter 67 It seems that he is not the one-in-a-million
People die for money, birds die for food, this sentence is indeed classic.

Just now!

The old man was still scolding Huo Guang for asking about the Jiang family, now, looking at the money in the young man's hand?
Obviously moved.

After looking around for a while, he said in a low voice, "Ah Lang, this is not a place to talk. If it's convenient, can you come home with the old man and talk about it in detail."

Huo Guang frowned and said, "Your home is not outside the city, is it?"

"No, no, it's in the city." The old man waved his hands quickly.

Huo Guang thought for a while and said, "Okay, then I'll go with you."

The exchange is over.

The old man put away the baskets all over the floor, piled them up front and back and tied them together, and picked them up with something similar to a pole.

then.

Huo Guang couldn't see the old man anymore, he could only see a pile of walking baskets.

Of course.

You can still hear the voice of the old man calling himself.

"Young man, please follow me, my house is not far away, we will be there soon."

"Ok."

Huo Guang couldn't see the old man, so when he heard the voice, he quickly responded.

After going around several streets and alleys, Huo Guang finally walked into the old man's house in a corner of Handan County.

Just don't know.

How did this old man find his way in a pile of baskets?

Huo Guang came to this place and began to observe the people and things here.It feels a bit similar to the feeling of the Walled City of Pig Dragon in the movie, with a lot of people.

It can also be seen from here.

During the Han Dynasty.

Handan is far less prosperous than Chang'an, because Chang'an city cannot accommodate such a place.

"You can sit anywhere, old man, my room is rather shabby, so don't laugh at me." The old man said.

After hearing this, Huo Guang smiled and shook his head.

He doesn't mind these.

When I was with my cheap father Huo Zhongru, the bad environment in the countryside was not as good as here.

Make an analogy!

Before his elder brother, Champion Hou, bought a house for his father, his hometown raised pigs, and the pigsty where the pigs were raised was called "Xu".

at the same time!

Hun can also refer to the toilet.

Why can "混" refer to both the pigsty and the toilet?
Because it is composed of two parts, namely the toilet and the pigsty, the toilet is on the top and the pigsty is on the bottom.

That's why we're talking about going to the toilet today, not going down.

As for the toilets and pigpens, why are they made like this?

The main reason is the lack of food. In the era when people can't eat enough, how can there be anything to feed pigs?Pigs can only be forced to become part of the ecological cycle.

Hey.
The so-called pastoral life is longed for only when people are full.

After the old man placed the basket next to the door, he called his wife and made a bowl of tea for Huo Guang.

Huo Guang took the tea and thanked him.

just.

Looking at the dark tea, still bubbling, he couldn't help feeling a little scared in his heart.

Can this bowl of tea be drunk?
Anyway, he dare not!

Coughing lightly, he asked the old man, "Well, can you tell me about Jiang's family? Doesn't the family of Prince Ruren Jiangqin live in Handan City?"

Upon hearing this.

The old man frowned, got up and closed all the doors of the house. Due to the bad light, even though it was daytime, it was still dark.

After doing this, he was slightly relieved.

"Young man, judging from your accent, you shouldn't be from Handan, right?" the old man asked first.

Huo Guang nodded, and replied: "It's really not, I only came here these two days."

"Then it's no wonder you don't know. This Jiang family, the whole family was killed by the prince. Especially the father and brother of the two children, Jiang Qin and Jiang Qi, died the worst!" The old man sighed.

After hearing this, Huo Guang was shocked.

Killed them all?

Oh my God!
Isn't this Prince Liu Dan too lawless?
Huo Guang frowned slightly and asked, "Old man, is this true or a rumor?"

After hearing this, the old man shook his head and said, "Of course it's true. Why is it that it's snowing so much this year?"

"Because of injustice!"

"嗐"

As the old man said, he couldn't help sighing more.

This made Huo Guang slightly frown. The heavy snowfall had nothing to do with injustice.

Is it.

Wouldn't it be wronged if it was too small?
But having said that, if what the old man said is true, then this Prince Zhao Liu Dan's methods are really vicious!
Ren Jiangqin is the child you married back after all, right?
It's fine if you don't treat her better, and even send officials to arrest and kill her family members, it's really unconscionable.

No wonder Jiang Qi wants to run away
If you don't run away, are you waiting to be wiped out by Prince Zhao Liu Dan?
Although I still don't quite believe whether what the old man said is true, but I decided to listen to it first.

After thinking for a while, he asked: "Then why did the crown prince Liu Dan do such a murderous thing?"

The old man shook his head and said: "I'm not sure, some people say in private that it's because someone from the Jiang family offended the prince, it seems to be Jiang Qi, right?"

"Hey!"

"We don't know what happened in the prince's and noble's house."

"If the prince wants to kill us, it's as easy as crushing an ant!"

"."

Huo Guang listened to the old man's words quietly, and secretly remembered them in his heart.

After going back.

It should also be transcribed on the bamboo slips, so that the matter learned from the investigation can be told to His Majesty in the future.

The old man is talking here.

suddenly.

A resounding voice came from outside the door, shouting: "Youngest Zhao, you dead bamboo craftsman, who told you to pile up all the baskets in front of my house!"

"Can't you get out?"

"I counted to three, and I can't see anyone lighting up all the baskets for you!"

Hear the roar.

The old man hastily said: "Ouyang Zhi, who is urging his life, has stopped working for private individuals, and has been drinking crazy every day, and he is causing trouble for me."

"Young man, you stay here first, I'll go out and have a look."

The words fall.

The old man got up and opened the door, and quarreled with Ouyang Zhi after he went out.

people around.

It seems that the quarrel between the two has become commonplace.

Naturally, Huo Guang couldn't stay still, so he also walked out.Looking at Ouyang Zhi who was blushing like a monkey's butt, he frowned slightly.

Good guy.

If this person lives in modern times, it would be a pity not to play Guan Gong.

After some quarrel.

The youngest Zhao used to have a basket blocking the door of someone else's house, but after knowing that she lost the argument, she moved the basket away.

in this way.

Ouyang Zhi just returned home, but he still didn't forget to swear at the youngest Zhao.

Huo Guang looked at the old man who had lost the quarrel, and asked, "Is that a blacksmith? Now that Yantie is in the official camp, isn't it the means of making a living lost!"

After the government-run policy of salt and iron came out, the interests of those who were actually hit were not only businessmen, but also craftsmen.

For example, the blacksmith can't open the furnace and strike iron without permission.

In particular, the imperial court's control over iron was tighter than that over salt.Salt is collected by the government at any rate, and sold by the government.Iron is all mined and smelted by the government directly organizing manpower, including later casting and sales, which is tightly controlled.

This is the root cause of the poor quality of ironware in the late Han Dynasty due to the official policy of salt and iron.

Because there are no good blacksmiths to study the technology of blacksmithing.

When the youngest Zhao heard Huo Guang's question, he said, "Hey, don't care about him, he is a low-level blacksmith. Every day he says that he is the descendant of the master Ou Yezi for how many generations, but in fact he is nothing."

Since Ouyang Zhi couldn't be bothered, the youngest Zhao was at Huo Guang's place, complaining about him.

Huo Guang didn't care about the old man's slander against his neighbors, he just smiled.After listening to what he said about Jiang Qin's family being killed, he gave the money and left.

He didn't even drink the tea.

only!

Not long after Huo Guang left from Zhao Laoyao, he went back and forth again.

But it wasn't the bamboo strip maker Zhao Laojiao's home that returned, but the home of Ouyang Zhi, who blushed like a monkey butt.

Ouyang Zhi finished his drink and was sleeping soundly at home.

Huo Guang walked in so silently, looking at the various blacksmith's tools for forging iron, which had been piled up for a long time.

heart.

Can't help sighing.

The finances of the big Han in the salt and iron government must be improved, otherwise the level of iron smelting in the Han Dynasty will drop back to its original level in the long run.

While Huo Guang was looking at Ouyang Zhi's blacksmithing tools.

Here.

Ouyang Zhi, who was sleeping soundly on the floor mat, seemed to sense someone walking back and forth in the house, so he opened his eyes.

Then I discovered the young man who was at Zhao Laojiao's house before!

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Ouyang Zhi's voice was very loud, and a sudden roar made Huo Guang tremble with fright.

Huo Guang was about to explain.

however.

Ouyang Zhi didn't give him a chance to explain, he got up and pointed at his nose and said fiercely: "Are you a relative of Mr. Zhao's family? Dare to come to me to steal things and beat you!"

This Ouyang Zhi has a really bad temper.

But Huo Guang didn't care. Instead, he took out the pouch from his pocket and said, "I'm not a relative of Mr. Zhao's family. I'm the buyer. I bought his basket. I heard that you used to be a blacksmith." , let me see if I can buy some handy weapons!"

Why does Huo Guang want to make money?

Because money can solve a lot of troubles.

The lower the staff, the easier it is for people to use money to solve things.This is not to criticize anything, but a fact that has not changed since ancient times.

otherwise.

Why are there so many corrupt officials in every dynasty?
only!

Huo Guang didn't expect that his own money would have no effect on Ouyang Zhi.

"Boy, before I get angry, take your money and get out!" Ouyang Zhi snorted, not moved by the money Huo Guang took out.

Are you angry when someone scolds you?
In his previous life, he might be angry, and then spray it back.But I don't know why, after only a few days with Zhang Tang, the doctor of the censor, my temperament began to change.

really.

Those who are close to vermilion are red, those who are close to ink are black!

Seeing that Ouyang Zhi couldn't be moved by money, Huo Guang withdrew his purse and said with a smile, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Huo Guang. I'm the younger brother of the champion Hou, and I'm in charge of Yilang."

"I have a secret book, which was written by master Ou Yezi in his later years. It can be said to have collected a lifetime of experience. It is said that if a craftsman learns it, he can become a new master within two years."

"such a pity!"

"Anyone who can understand Master Ou Yezi's secret forging method is a forging genius like no other in a million!"

"Ben Yilang came all the way from Chang'an just to find this person who can understand the secret method of master Ou Yezi's iron making."

"But after wandering around Handan, I haven't seen such a person!"

"What a pity."

The words fall.

Huo Guang turned his back to Ouyang Zhi and walked outside.

however.

Ouyang Zhi, who has one intestine, didn't know Huo Guang's tricks, and immediately clapped his hands and shouted: "Hey! Young man, wait!"

Huo Guang turned his head when he heard the sound.

I saw that Ouyang Zhi fiddled with a pile of blacksmithing tools, found the blacksmithing tools, and then took off his coat, revealing his tendons and muscles, and began to act like he used to blacksmith.

After a set of smooth blacksmithing moves is done.

Ouyang Zhi said seriously: "Young man, if you are not joking, you might as well show me Ou Yezi's cheat book!"

"maybe?"

"I, the blacksmith, am I the one-in-a-million genius you mentioned?"

Good guy!
He was out of breath even after swinging a hammer.

What is this false?

Huo Guang squinted at Ouyang Zhi, frowned and said, "Really? Then you have to make sure you are qualified. Not everyone can read the secret books written by Master Ou Yezi."

"I know, you blacksmiths, if you make a perfect weapon, you will definitely not sell it for money."

"It's about keeping it for yourself, right?"

Want to see his collection?

Ou Yezi frowned at this moment, and suddenly said with an online IQ: "Why should I trust you?"

"You don't need a letter, just show me your forging level, and I'll show you Master Ou Yezi's cheat book, it's that simple!" Huo Guang said lightly.

If you really want to have a secret book, can you just show it to others?
Certainly not!
But this Ouyang Zhi was obviously greedy, and he slightly settled the score.

I show my favorite work to the young man, no matter whether he is fooling me or not, as long as the things are not robbed, there is no loss.

But that young man's cheat book, if I read it, it will be worthless!
No matter how this account is calculated, it is all his blood!
then.

Ouyang Zhi immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll get some swords out, young man, you stay here, don't go!"

"it is good."

Huo Guang nodded and responded.

then.

Then Ouyang Zhi went back to the house and rummaged through the box to pick it up. After a long time, he came out holding two long swords full of excitement.

"These two swords were forged by me five years ago, and they are named Xiaolongyuan Sword and Dalongyuan Sword respectively!"

Dragon Yuan Sword?Still divided into big and small?

Ok!

This Ouyang Zhi is undoubtedly a fan of Ou Yezi.

Subsequently.

Huo Guang only saw that Ouyang Zhi pulled out one of his hairs, and with a light blow, the hair broke.

It seems that what the ancients said was not an exaggeration.

"Good sword!"

Without further ado, Huo Guang applauded directly.

This man forging swords is indeed a bit advanced!
however.

Ouyang Zhi was not impressed by his applause, he just said indifferently: "I have shown you the sword, where is Master Ou Yezi's cheat book?"

"Not with me." Huo Guang shrugged and said.

present.

Ouyang Zhi was furious, glared at him and said, "Are you kidding me?"

"No, I mean the cheats are in my head. Blacksmith Ouyang, do you have coal at home, I can write it out for you to read!"

"Have!"

Soon.

Ouyang Zhi came out with coal, and Huo Guang said he was writing, but he was actually painting.

Or the three-dimensional kind.

All the parts of an old-fashioned flintlock gun were all painted on the wall by Huo Guang.

Wait until you finish drawing these.

He looked at Ouyang Zhi again, and asked: "This is a part of the cheat book, do you understand it?"

"Amount..." Ouyang Zhi was suddenly embarrassed.

This must be incomprehensible!
People in 120 BC couldn't understand it, so that's right.

immediately.

Huo Guang said with deep regret: "It seems that you are not that one-in-a-million genius."
