Gentlemen, listen to the sword chant

Chapter 9

Fan Chu nodded, and then spoke eloquently.Fan Chu received the order of the statement this afternoon, left Taoyuan Town on a fast horse, went straight to Guangling, and went to buy many documents, including these three law documents, and then passed by a martial arts hall, and found many soldiers gathered, The sword was on the verge, and Fan Chu, who didn't want to meddle in other people's business, couldn't help but stop to observe when he saw a master.

"A master? What kind of master?"

Fan Chu said honestly, "Much better than me."

"Ok."

Chen Ci doesn't know how strong Fan Chu is, but he knows that Fan Chu has been the No. 20 martial artist in Tai'an for [-] years. , and give him another [-] soldiers, he can easily conquer a strong pass.

"What exactly is the friction?"

Without hesitation, Fan Chu said, "Yu Xiong, who came out of the city to pick us up yesterday, led the troops to surround the Xiaoqianye Kendo Hall."

Chen Ci clicked his tongue secretly, thinking that Yu Xiong really did what he said, at first he thought he was joking and joking, but he didn't want to leave Guangling with his front foot, and he really led soldiers to surround the Dongying people's martial arts gym with his back foot.

"and after?"

"Later, people from Prince Wu's Mansion intervened, but there was no fight. The people from Xiaoqianye Kendo Hall came forward to explain that all the disciples in their martial arts hall were registered, and no one was missing. Little Chiba Kendo Gym has something to do with it. My son-in-law, my subordinates feel that those assassins should not belong to Little Chiba Kendo Gym."

Chen Ci frowned. As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Within the Dongying nation, there must be factions.

If you look into this matter deeply, you will find that something is wrong. If the people from Xiaoqianye Kendo Hall really want to kill Chen Ci, what is the reason?Why choose such a big fanfare, seeing three hundred Guangling soldiers dare to come and hit the stone with eggs?This is like making it clear that it is a frame-up, and it is deliberately provoking the conflict between King Wu and the people of Dongying.So who is behind this layout?

Suddenly, the statement was creepy.

Beijing!

Only the dignitaries in the capital may have such a big wrist and energy, and they can wave their big hands to Guangling, which is thousands of miles away.

"Furthermore, the average combat strength of the Dongying people in Little Chiba Kendo Gym is very high, ahead of the assassins in the rain yesterday, and I stopped to watch and found that the martial arts between the two are also slightly different, and it should not be a martial arts system." Fan Chu said.

"Well, there's no need to worry about this matter."

Fan Chu nodded dully.

Chen Ci previously studied the laws of the areas controlled by King Wu and summed up an experience.

The first is to prohibit civilian or private large-scale manufacturing and sales of arms.It doesn't matter, the statement itself does not intend to dump military supplies.

Second, non-governmental or private sales of salt and iron, metal smelting, and mining of mines are prohibited.This gave Chen Shan a headache. The salt in this era is not only coarse salt, but fine salt that is not sold to the public.

As for human trafficking, abduction and trafficking of women, and forced prostitution, Chen Ci still can't do such nasty things.

Chen Ci decided to conduct a field investigation for a period of time first. If it is time to start a paper mill, it must be done vigorously. This will definitely be successful and will definitely make a fortune.In addition to papermaking, he also decided to dabble in industries such as brothels and gambling houses. No matter in any era, the word pornography and gambling cannot be opened without a certain official background. Even if it is opened, it will not last long.So before that, Chen Ci had to do one more thing, and that was to make Taoyuan Town the way he imagined it to be.

The next morning, when Chen Ci woke up, some of his followers had already prepared breakfast and hot water.

Chen Ci shook his head, thinking that using these elite soldiers from the prime minister's mansion in the capital to take care of him would be a slasher. You have to enjoy it when you enjoy it.During the meal, Chen Ci ordered Fan Chu to take the money to recruit some maidservants and servants, who knows, Fan Chu refused on the spot.

"Master son-in-law, the current situation is turbulent, and the disaster is hidden in the ambush, so forgive me. I have entrusted you with kindness, and my subordinates dare not take it lightly."

Fan Chu's worry was not unreasonable, if someone with malicious intentions sneaked in and wanted to kill Chen Ci, then he could hardly absolve himself of the blame.

The same is true of the statement.

Looking at the busy servants with swords, Chen Ci sighed. They should charge forward on the battlefield and win the unworldly feats and eternal glory with their military exploits, instead of doing what women should do here, in this corner of the mountain village. trivial matters.

After eating and drinking, the princess kindly handed over a piece of silk cloth and a bowl of hot tea.

Chen Ci thought to himself that the matter of papermaking must be put on the agenda.

"Ok?"

Just taking a sip, Chen Ci was surprised, staring at the teacup in his hand in a daze.

Fan Chu thought the tea was poisonous, so he stood up immediately.

Chen Ci waved his hand and looked at the princess: "Where did this tea come from?"

The princess looked suspicious: "I bought it when I was shopping in the market yesterday."

The statement was more suspicious, and he asked: "Really? Isn't it from the palace?"

The princess shook her head.

Chen Ci took a deep breath and had another drink. This time, he tasted it carefully.Chen Ci doesn't drink tea, and doesn't know much about tea. He just thinks it's good tea. At least, he doesn't think it should be an obscure tea.After he finished drinking, he looked at Fan Chu again and said, "Go and investigate this tea."

"As ordered."

After Fan Chu left, the princess didn't know why, so he was very curious about her husband's behavior, Chen Ci smiled knowingly, and explained: "The value of anything is given by us. If something is rare, it is expensive. If something is common, it will be expensive. , it is cheap. For example, the "peach blossom wine" in our town has been stored in the cellar for several years. If it is of good quality, it will flow into the capital, and the rich and powerful will be willing to spend thousands of taels of silver to buy it. You understand me mean?"

The princess's face was mellow and amiable, she seemed to understand the words, she nodded weakly, "But this tea is very cheap, there are more good tea in the palace."

"Oh, there are also many good wines in the palace. There are dozens of good wines."

The princess was silent.

"I mean, hype, oh you know that word?"

The princess blinked her eyes and said hesitantly, "Yes, fry the tea leaves and then sell them?"

Chen Ci had black lines all over his face, thinking about this silly woman, so he patiently explained: "No, no, what does it mean to hype, just like me, believe it or not, take my used quilt to the market in Taoyuan Town Selling, it is said to the outside world that it was used by the prime minister's son, and the bedding that was originally worth the same money can easily be turned three or five times?"

The princess wanted to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, she suddenly became enlightened, and she was pleasantly surprised: "I understand, it is to use your influence to sell money, what they buy is not the quilt, but you, your quilt, because of you, The quilts can be doubled in sales.”

Not stupid.

"Yes, that's what it means. Do you think people in the capital really drink 'Peach Blossom Brew' because it's delicious? No, it's just because it's a famous wine in Guangling, the best wine in Guangling, and they drink it for fame." Chen Ci After finishing speaking with a smile, he picked up the teacup and stared at the tea leaves in the cup with great interest, "Good products don't need to be of high quality, as long as they have a certain quality. This tea is good, but I don't know the origin. Whether it is widely produced or not, if there is not much circulation in the market and Taoyuan Town is the only one, then it will be easy to handle, as long as Taoyuan Town is famous, this tea can also be sold in the capital for thousands of gold, ten thousand gold."
