reborn monarch

The giant ship has been sailing for more than three months. It needs supplies along the way. It stops at Wen Chongde's instructions, as if it can pinch and count, and the barbarians at the stops often speak incomprehensible wild words. , He can actually communicate with them with gestures and gestures, and even those savages in scanty clothes, he has a way to exchange for supplies.

All the people in the boat were alienated and guarded against him at first, but they all fell in love with him unconsciously.In the end, according to his instructions, they hid the huge ship in a nearby port, left half of the people guarding it, and the others boarded the medium-sized ships in the fleet, and then they docked in the country named "English".

Once ashore, Wen Chongde's stumbling English surprised everyone.

Among them, Xie Jingqing felt the deepest.

Unexpectedly, this son of Wenxiang took His Majesty's orders very seriously. Although his attitude was not close, he went out to discuss business, or went to check the advanced looms in a handicraft workshop, but he did not stop Xie Jingqing from following, and even Explained it to him in great detail.

Even, Xie Jingqing refused to change into these strange clothes at first, she was still dressed in big Chu clothes, but in the end, she was mistaken for a woman by a drunk rascal, and she grabbed him to touch her clothes, she was never so frivolous Xie Jingqing, who had been treated before, was dumbfounded, and it was Wen Chongde who had a quick eye and gave him a quick hand to prevent him from being really eaten tofu.

"Our long hair and long clothes are not suitable for working, it is convenient for them to wear them."

"These are the rifled and rifled bins used by their officials. Each has its own length and length. The shooting range is not much farther than ours, and the accuracy is better. But when they go to the battlefield, they all use the wooden rifles of the rifled bins. A bayonet is added to the barn, so that it can be used as a spear after the ammunition is exhausted or it is too late to refill the ammunition. "

"This is a thin plate made of metal. The characters are embossed and rolled into a cylinder. Each roll is a plate of characters. Although engraving is more time-consuming than movable type, it takes up less space than movable type. If the plate is preserved, you don't have to worry about printing it next time. Supplemented with this set of leader tapes for conveying paper, it can be printed many times faster than movable type."

"Their ship, and this traveling tool called a train, are all operated by something called a 'steam engine'. It needs to be carefully investigated."

"Except for these technologies, foreigners are not stronger than Da Chu. Don't you see that their streets are dirty and their etiquette is vulgar, but these technologies and people who are willing to study them are the key. This loom is just a new thing in the past two years. But it has been improved for no less than six editions, so it can be seen that it is inevitable to fall behind if it is complacent."

Under the guidance of Wen Chongde, they even met the king. Wen Chongde did not praise the prestige of Da Chu, but lied that Da Chu was a small country, and they could only get here by taking a ride with the wind, and wept hard Poor, with a look of wanting everything, Xie Jingqing who went with him, although he couldn't understand, was still flushed with embarrassment at Wen Chongde's exaggerated flattery. In the end, the two of them were thrown out without any surprise .

After walking a long way, Xie Jingqing asked angrily: "What did you say! You are not the only one who lost face!"

Wen Chongde laughed out loud, and when he finished laughing, he calmed down and asked calmly, "Shall I lose face? Or attract thieves to worry about me?"

Xie Jingqing was taken aback for a moment, and said nothing.

These people were ashamed, they only bought what they could buy at a low price, and watched those who couldn't buy it at a low price. They played the role of poverty, and then left the port by boat and returned to the deserted island where the giant ship was docked.

Changed the huge boat, left the people and the boat who had been on the shore, and those who had not been on the shore pretended to be Japanese, and was led by Wen Chongde again, and bought all the things that were not bought in a big way, Wen Chongde It was introduced everywhere that these Japanese people kindly asked him to be an interpreter, and Xie Jingqing, who was disguised as a woman, clicked his tongue when he looked like he had butchered a big fish, and felt that his female attire was not the most shameful.

This trip is full of rewards.

After rendezvous on the deserted island, the fleet returned in a mighty way. On the way back, Wen Chongde chose to sell the silk and tea on board in the port towns of small countries such as Rees, Adan and Guli. With a glib tongue, he made the best silk into the best, and sold the few goods on board and the gifts that were originally intended for the locals at sky-high prices. The ship's advanced machine returned to the port.

At the port in Licheng, Min Province, someone greeted them early in the morning, and Xie Jingqing was shocked when he met him, "Zhang Shilang?"

Zhang Yuan cupped his hands and smiled, "Boss Xie still remembers me, but I am no longer a servant, and was sent by His Majesty to be a magistrate here in Licheng."

Xie Jingqing consciously made a slip of the tongue, and said don't blame her.

However, Wen Chongde said with a strange air of yin and yang: "Master Zhang is lucky."

Zhang Yuan was not angry with him at all, and said with a smile: "Where is that, His Majesty has already ordered you two to come with me and rest first, and then go to Beijing after a two-day rest. Where it needs to be modified, I hope Master Wen will point it out."

Leaving aside how aggrieved Wen Chongde was when he punched cotton, no matter what Xie Jingqing heard, it seemed that Mr. Zhang did not regard Wen Chongde as an outsider at all.

When the news of the huge ship's return to Hong Kong was sent back to Beijing, Emperor Qi Yuan was obviously happy, dispelling the worries of the horses, Wen Xiang also stopped fighting each other early in the morning, and he has been very quiet recently, and seems to be very worried about his son Look proud.

Ten days later, all the people in the fleet entered the capital in a long line with many strange things, and Qin Jian, the Minister of the household department, greeted them in person, which aroused the vigorous crowd of the people in the capital.

Mother Jin of Yaoxian Pavilion has been thinking about Xie Jingqing for a long time, and when the long line passed by, she led the girls in Yaoxian Pavilion to whisper softly, "Uncle Xie, I miss you to death" "Boss Xie, I have time to come and see my family~ ", the sweeter and more lingering they shouted, the more rigid Qin Jian's face became, and even Xie Jingqing was sweating profusely, wishing to run over immediately and beg all the beauties to show their respect.

As for Wen Chongde, who was not far from Qin Jian and Xie Jingqing, his face was as sinking as water, but no one cared.

At that time in England, Wen Chongde deliberately made it difficult for Xie Jingqing, but he did not expect that Xie Jingqing would disembark again dressed as a woman, not because of suspicion and staring at him, but to choose a gift for Qin Jian.

Recalling that just a few days after he started his new life, Xie Jingqing was sent to the northwest to build a tea horse store. He thought it would be good if he didn’t see him in this life, but he still couldn’t control it. Unlucky for Qin Jian, he walked outside the gate of Qin Shangshu's mansion, hesitated a few times, but still put on a bamboo hat, and went to the gate of the city in a secretive manner.

That day, Xie Jingqing waited for a long time, but no one came to see her off, and was urged repeatedly by the guys before she was willing to leave.

Wen Chongde remembered that he used the gap in the bamboo hat to stare at the vivid Xie Jingqing for a long time, and he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, but when he thought that the person he was waiting for was Qin Jian, he still hoped that Xie Jingqing might as well go away like this. Go back, die outside the customs, don't come back again.

"This person is extremely hypocritical, but he is just pretending to be infatuated."

Hahahahahaha.

A penetrating low laugh came from behind, Xie Jingqing finally found a reason, and moved a little closer to Qin Jian.

Qin Shangshu immediately said with disgust: "What are you doing here?"

Xie Jingqing was wronged: "The grassroots are afraid."

"It's been thousands of miles across the ocean, what are you afraid of?" Qin Shangshu couldn't help complaining in his tone.

Xie Jingqing was happy in his heart, but he was acting obediently: "Your Excellency has wronged you, listen, that kid from the Wen family is scary behind you."

Qin Shangshu glanced back suspiciously, but said nothing.

Wen Chongde followed Qin Jian into the palace to play the right match, Xie Jingqing slipped back home, met his sister-in-law and Shi Shi, and ran to Qin Jian's Shangshu Mansion.

The fleet brought back too many things. When Qin Jian returned home after work, he saw an oil lamp alone in the house. Xie Jingqing was sleeping soundly on his dining table. On the table were two bowls of porridge and two dishes of side dishes. In a shallow dish of hot water, also covered with a lid to keep warm.

"Get up," Qin Jian pushed him cruelly, "Go back to your house and sleep."

Xie Jingqing was very tired, so he lay on his stomach, stretched out his hand and shook Qin Jian's hand, his gentle voice was hoarse with exhaustion: "Why did you come back? Your Majesty squeezed too much."

Qin Jian withdrew his hand, turned his face away, opened his mouth and chased people away.

Only then did Xie Jingqing realize that something was wrong, stood up, pulled someone along and asked, "What's wrong?"

What else can I do, I'm jealous.

What's more, when Wen Chongde came out of Miyagi, that mean-mouthed man sighed again, "I can attract the attention of the beauties in Yaoxian Pavilion, Boss Xie is really gorgeous|blessed", which aroused Qin Jian's contempt again. own habits.

In the ear, Xie Jingqing was still patiently asking "what's the matter", Qin Jian felt more and more that he should not delay this person, and said cruelly: "From now on, don't come again."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Qin Jian was half regretful, half relieved, and dared not go to see Xie Jingqing.

Unexpectedly, Xie Jingqing pushed him against the wall, pressed his shoulder, and asked in a deep voice, "Qin Jian, what's wrong?"

Qin Jian had no choice but to look up at Xie Jingqing, he had never seen Xie Jingqing like this, like a frozen fire, completely different from his normal, laughing or gentle appearance, the elegance was replaced by sharpness, the faint deterrence on his body, It made Qin Jian realize later why this person became the number one tea horse merchant in Chu.

"You", Qin Jian lowered his eyes again, paused, and told the truth, "I'm not good enough for you."

Xie Jingqing gritted his teeth and said: "Qin Shangshu is joking, I am a mere merchant and pawn, I am not worthy of Qin Shangshu."

"You!" Qin Jian had never heard a harsh word from Xie Jingqing, and he couldn't bear just such a sentence. He secretly scolded himself for being used to hypocrisy, and swallowed his anger, "You are a big businessman, and you are good-looking. It must be liked by young and beautiful women, you should marry a wife and have children, and you should not mix with a poor man like me."

Xie Jingqing was about to be annoyed by him, "So in Qin Shangshu's eyes, I, Xie Jingqing, am a lustful person?"

Qin Jian really couldn't stand his semi-sarcastic tone, and couldn't help but angrily said: "Don't misinterpret me!"

"You can misinterpret my mind, why can't I misinterpret you!" Xie Jingqing was also angry. He lowered his head and forced Qin Jian to meet his eyes, "Look at me!"

After receiving such an order from him, Qin Jian couldn't help but raise his head.

"Back then, when I was traveling through Jin Province, I rescued a man in the mountains."

"That person actually didn't ask for help at all. There are few people in the mountain. We drove past, and he didn't even call out."

"He was covered in mud, and his face was covered with dust. Coincidentally, I saw the man's eyes at a glance. They were a pair of dead eyes."

"He didn't want to live at all."

"I don't know why he doesn't want to live, but I can't watch people die, so I turned around and dragged him onto the horse, and he passed out as soon as he got on the horse. Only then did I realize that in addition to the official uniform and imperial decree, this man's baggage is Nothing at all."

Following Xie Jingqing's narration, Qin Jian recalled the official business during the reign of the first emperor. He was sent to Jin Province to check the tax bank. , he walked in a daze, thinking that if a villain like himself who is disgusted by people loves money like his life, if he dies in this mountain, he will be considered clean.

Unexpectedly, he was forcibly dragged onto the horse and lost his life.

Seeing Xie Jingqing again, Qin Jian didn't know whether he should thank this person or not.But the grace of saving one's life should be repaid.

"I", Qin Jian opened his mouth, closed his eyes and said, "I owe you my life. I know the position of Emperor Shang, without me, you can also rely on Mr. Xie to get it. In the future, what use will you have? My, I will definitely help."

Xie Jingqing was really angry, and said in a deep voice, "What if I want you to agree with me?"

The eyelashes of the person in front of him trembled, and then he touched the buttons of his clothes with trembling hands, but he didn't move for a long time.

Finally, the finger moved again, Xie Jingqing said again: "How is one time enough?"

Qin Jian finally opened his eyes, and his voice was calm: "Naturally until you get tired."

"Okay," Xie Jingqing hugged him up, "Then you promise me your whole life. Qin Shangshu, once you say something, it's hard to follow. Don't go back on your word."

Qin Jian's eyes widened. He wanted to push Xie Jingqing back on track. How could he do it for the rest of his life?Immediately struggling, Xie Jingqing slapped his butt with a palm, his face flushed instantly, even his neck was red, "You, how can you", trembling for a long time without even finishing a sentence.

Xie Jingqing hugged him and sat down at the dining table without letting go, and began to drink porridge by himself. If Qin Jian dared to struggle, he would pat him down.

After he finished the porridge in a few sips, he took another bowl, took a few small dishes with chopsticks, and took a spoonful with a porcelain spoon. There were vegetables and porridge, and he commanded Qin Jian proudly, "Open your mouth."

Qin Jian: "You!"

Xie Jingqing: "What about me?"

Qin Jian: "You scoundrel!"

Xie Jingqing: "Then Qin Shangshu can't be like me, he must be a person who keeps his word."

Qin Jian: "You!"

Xie Jingqing: "Drink porridge, if you don't drink it, it will be reheated, it's useless."

How could someone be so stingy as to count the firewood for hot porridge? Qin Jian gave him a glaring look.

But in the end, he still parted his lips slightly.

"It's so good", a spoonful of porridge is eaten, and someone praises it in the ear like coaxing a child.

Probably a fool.

Both.

A Guhuan looked at the person vigilantly. The person was dressed as a horse, and looking at his appearance, he was clearly from Dachu.

The wind and sand outside the pass, none of the middle-aged horse people's skin can be as oily as the person in front of you, including A Guhuan's own face, which is dry and red by the wind. When you get older, it will become dry wrinkled, as barren as the land in the desert.

"I'm only responsible for sending information. As for who my subordinate is, it's not yet time to say."

The man with lowered brows could not hide the contempt in his eyes, he must be a pampered Da Chu person.He brought news about the frontier defense of the Yuan family army. He didn't know where he got it from, and he didn't know why he wanted to smuggle important military information to the hostile Ma tribe.This really made Ah Guhuan puzzled.

However, Ah Guhuan has heard that people in the pass have always loved internal fighting, and sometimes even lured wolves into the house for their own benefit. The dynasty before the Great Chu died because of this. hand.

A Guhuan listened to the elders of the tribe talk about the legends passed down from their ancestors, the prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River, the majesty of the capital, and the people who dare not resist were driven away like sheep by the men of their horse tribe, and they were docilely enslaved by them.

What a wonderful time it was.

"Send this distinguished guest out."

Hearing the pure official words, the big Chu man was surprised, but he didn't think too much, he cupped his hands, and walked out with Bingwei.

The veteran looked at the young king worriedly, and advised, "Don't trust the people of Great Chu."

"I understand," Ah Guhuan looked at the border defense map on the table, "but they are already impatient. Half a month has passed since the last time I went to the border of Dachu. If I don't win a battle, I will die by then. Now If you don’t give it a try, what are you waiting for?”

The old minister lamented and regretted, but he no longer dissuaded him.

The young king killed his uncle who was called the king with his desperate courage, and the throne he got was too unstable. Life gives way.

According to A Guhuan, it is "it's useless to learn something from Da Chu if your brain is broken." They horse people immediately fight for courage. When do they care about etiquette, righteousness and shame? What is yours is yours, and everything else is irrelevant.

He summoned the generals.

"Tonight, we raid, kill everything you see that moves, and take everything you can!"

The generals became excited and laughed wildly, noisier than the wind outside.

A Guhuan's eyes looked at them, but there was a gentle voice in his ear, he couldn't hear it clearly, he couldn't understand it, but it taught people peace of mind.

The night was as cold as ice.

Yuan Dou lay on the bed without stopping, stretching out his hand to the bedside to tease Xiao Bai's sons. The five little white wolves had grown up a lot, chasing Yuan Dou's hand, and rolling into a ball from time to time. On the contrary, he is very cognizant of the master and has a sense of proportion. His teeth only face each other, so that Yuan Dou's hand will not be hurt.

Yuan Wei lay on Xiaobai's body to read the book of war. He was so quarreled by his younger brother that he couldn't read it. He reached out and touched a chestnut and threw it at it. !"

Yuan Dou took the chestnuts and peeled them happily, and complained while eating: "I have been on duty since last night, and I haven't closed my eyes until now, why am I not tired, brother, you don't love me more and more .”

"Then you are sleeping," Yuan Wei said helplessly.

Yuan Dou threw the chestnut shells on the floor beside the quilt, looked at Yuan Wei with his hands up, pretending to be wronged and said: "My feet are chilly."

This kid was born with cold soles, and after late autumn his feet were as cold as a weight. When he was a child, Yuan Wei had no choice but to take care of his younger brother. Now Yuan Wei doesn't want to be a heater for him. He raised his chin and pointed at the five little wolves, "Choose whatever you want." Put one in the nest, and they are all willing to sleep with you."

One, two, three, four, five all flicked their tails, blinking at Yuan Dou.

Yuan Dou covered his heart, he sang and composed very well, he pretended to cry: "Oh, it's cold, my brother's heart is cold."

Yuanwei rolled his eyes, touched Xiaobai's head, stood up and beat him with the book of war in his hand, and said impatiently: "Move away!"

Yuan Dou happily wrapped the quilt tightly, and moved in like a vegetable worm. Yuan Wei did not take off his clothes for the convenience of going to the battlefield, but he took his quilt and lay down. When the oil lamp blew, Yuan Dou The boy's frozen pig's trotters sneaked into his brother's quilt.

"Xiaobai, come up!" Yuanwei couldn't bear it anymore, so he had to call Xiaobai.

Xiaobai flicked his tail, jumped onto the bed, and habitually lay down on the other side of the bed, and after a while, one, two, three, four, five also jumped up, warm and warm.

It was supposed to be a good night's sleep, but when it was daylight, an urgent report came.

The author has something to say:

*Greetings from the manuscript box~
