Gentlemen, listen to the sword chant

Chapter 29 Technical work should be rewarded
"Go and have a look."

Since coming to Taoyuan Town, the father and son seemed to have opened the door to a new world, full of curiosity about everything.

Just a shame about the meal.

As soon as he went out, he bumped into the waiter who was guarding the door. The waiter smiled all over his face and said flatteringly, "Master, don't you want to eat?"

In fact, the waiter knew from the very beginning that Wu Wang and Murong Tong had mistakenly drank the water from the Gong barrel to flush the feces. He had already seen this kind of bumpkin who came to Taoyuan Town for the first time.

That's right, the people in Taoyuan Town now always look down on people from the outside world, thinking they are "bumpkins", so he has been guarding the door, knowing that the father and son probably have no appetite, but a table of good wine and food can't be wasted , He did a lot of things like this.

In particular, the father and son also specialize in ordering expensive dishes, so they really shouldn't be wasted, and they will pack them and take them home, so they can be eaten by their mother-in-law and son.

"Don't eat." King Wu shook his head, suddenly remembered something, and said, "Can I buy some shredded tobacco?"

The waiter in the shop smiled, this was also expected by him, and he nodded: "Of course, it's just that we have a rule here, if you want to buy it, you have to buy at least [-] catties to start, otherwise it won't be sold, and you need to make a reservation, because wealthy businessmen from Xuzhou and other places It’s been booked a long time ago, you have to pay the money first, and come back to pick up the goods a month later.”

King Wu frowned, a little displeased, thinking he couldn't make a decision by himself?

As if he was afraid that King Wu would disagree, the waiter in the shop added: "But don't worry, the quality of our shredded tobacco is as good as one, and you can make a profit without losing it. You are 16 taels of silver for our catty. If you go to other places , Once the channel is opened up, it can be turned three to five times by changing hands, which is absolutely bloody money."

King Wu waved his hand and said, "Then I won't buy it for now, oh yes, it's so noisy outside, what happened?"

The waiter in the shop was a little disappointed, after all he sold the shredded tobacco and got customers, so he got a share of the dividends, so he said in a low mood: "It's nothing, my son-in-law held a martial arts competition, and anyone who has a little bit of strength can go to the competition and win the first prize." There is a thousand coins."

"Contest?"

"Well, walk east along the street for half a mile, and you'll be able to see it."

King Wu nodded, and led Murong Tong downstairs, out of the inn, he took a look, sure enough, many people were walking eastward.

He sighed with emotion: "Tsk, Chen Ci sneaked around in Taoyuan Town. I never thought he could do such a big business."

I missed the paper last time, but this time, I can't miss the smoke.

"Father, do you want to get involved in the shredded tobacco business?"

"With this idea, Taoyuan Town can grow it. We have three cities, six counties and eighteen counties in southern Wu. The land is rich, so we can grow it naturally." King Wu is envious of this tobacco business. If Guangling can be the center, tobacco leaves can be planted on a large scale Dumping to the fourteen states, isn't it a lot of money?

King Wu's headache now is the issue of military expansion.

At present, in Wunan area, he has a total of four legions with a total strength of about 15 troops.Compared with Wuzhou Mushangguanbi in Wubei area, there are 20 fewer soldiers and horses. In the adjacent Yuezhou, the King of Yue has 10 more troops than him.

In the final analysis, it is Wu Wangfu who has no money, not enough money.King Wu did not have strong economic strength to order armor, ordnance, chariots, and warships.To put it bluntly, the cause of all this is the Dongying people. Because the Dongying people have intervened, the economy of the Wunan area has suffered major economic problems.

If the people can grow tobacco on a large scale and sell it to the [-] prefectures in exchange for a large amount of real money, and then use the money to purchase rice, flour and food in other prefectures, it will be able to make up for the shortfall of the Wu Palace, and the extra money will be able to expand the armament !
"Father, you don't need to worry. You only need to tell Chen Ci about this matter. With his own strength, he can only make small troubles in Taoyuan Town. If he cooperates with our palace, he can become bigger and stronger. He knows what to do." Choose." Murong Tong comforted him.

King Wu nodded slightly.

The two followed the crowd to the destination, and sure enough, they saw many people forming a circle, with three floors inside and three floors outside.

This is a small square made of eight-foot-high rocks. It is not big, and it can barely squeeze a thousand people. Statements and princesses.Behind the two stood ten retinues armed with swords, watching covetously. Fan Chu accompanied Chen Ci, staring at the surrounding spectators with fiery eyes, as if he wanted to find out the person hiding in the dark who might pose any threat to the son-in-law.

When King Wu looked at Chen Ci, Chen Ci was holding a crystal clear grape in one hand, and he did not forget to feed one to the princess.

Behind them, there are followers who fan the two of them with fans.

To enjoy as much as possible.

Just as King Wu was about to look again, he found a fiery gaze on him, and at first glance, it was indeed Fan Chu.

He lowered his head unconsciously.

at the same time.

Fan Chu got closer, leaned over and said, "My lord, King Wu and his son are here, mingling among the crowd."

"Oh, I see." Chen Ci was still casual, and with a casual glance, he saw Wu Wang and Murong Tong in the crowd.

After staying in Taoyuan Town for more than four months, Chen Ci has almost familiarized the people here, even if many of them are wealthy businessmen who came from outside, he almost knows them all.

Murong Tong walked up to an aunt who was cracking sunflower seeds, and said with a smile: "Ma'am, what happened? It wasn't a martial arts competition? Who was competing with whom? Why didn't I see anyone?"

The aunt was full of yellow teeth, and she glanced at Murong Tong when she heard the words, "Tsk, he's still a handsome man, he's from out of town, it's normal if he doesn't know."

Murong Tong laughed.

The aunt raised her eyes, pointed to a burly man on the stage, and said: "My son-in-law accepts talents and has set a rule. Anyone who has no way out can beat the drum on the stage, as long as he can beat my son-in-law's guards." , Reward a thousand copper coins, and give a good horse. No, it is said that the man came from Bingzhou, begging for a living, no money, and doing farm work with us a few days ago, no, I can't hold back my heart."

Murong Tong was thoughtful.

King Wu squinted his eyes, looked at the Chen Ci sitting in the chariot on the high platform, raised the corners of his mouth, and said in his heart: "This Chen Ci is really not the generation of idle clouds and wild cranes."

Suddenly, the crowd applauded.

King Wu looked, and saw that the battle had begun, and a group of swordsmen jumped down and stood on the ring. After the big man clasped his fists, he received a response, and drew out the steel knives at both ends of the ring, shouting and rushing forward.

The fierce soldier was wearing an iron armor mask. King Wu knew that this was a retainer of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the capital, and he also wanted to see how strong he was.

But let him down.

Although the big man was brave and tried his best, he was always played by the fierce soldiers, and he couldn't go any further.The big man seemed to be aware of being underestimated by the fierce pawn, and he couldn't hold back his face. He slammed fiercely, roared, and slashed his head. A trace of sleeves.

King Wu's eyes were full of splendor.

The disciples of the prime minister's mansion in the capital are indeed among the best masters.

The big man was being teased, he was neither arrogant nor impatient, he was always looking for an opportunity, he deliberately sold an opening, as expected, the fierce soldier flew over with a knife, the big man turned around suddenly, and slashed at the head.

"Kang Dang"

Sparks splattered.

The fierce soldier took a few steps back, his face full of disbelief.

Chen Ci was amazed and stood up all of a sudden: "Oh, well played, it's his mother's technical work, and I deserve a reward."
