Dahan Pirate Air Force

That day, he did not return to Zhang's house, but used a voice transmission to inform Lingling that he would stay in Xuanhuyuan for a few days.

Then, together with the old people, they were arranged to live in several empty rooms in Xuanhu Courtyard, where they could eat and wash themselves.Several old people share a room, while Zhang Bai, Gong Dunyang, and Jiao Yi share a room.

At night, Zhang Bai continued to practice, but unexpectedly received a big surprise.

The cinchona tree in the dream world actually sprouted. Although the buds are small, they are still alive!It seems that the spiritual energy waterfall is very useful.

Zhang Bai immediately practiced the art of rising and falling flowers and autumn leaves, hoping that the cinchona tree would grow up soon and preferably bear fruit as soon as possible.

The shoots grow rapidly and the changes are very obvious.

In just half an hour, the buds turned into saplings, and then it took more than an hour for the trunk to gradually become thicker and taller, until it grew to the height of two people and became an ordinary small tree.

However, there were no signs of fruiting yet, and the tree's growth also began to slow down. Zhang Bai was afraid that pushing too fast would backfire, so he stopped and prepared to continue tomorrow.

The next day, he happily told Yu Ji about the cinchona tree.This surprised Yu Ji. Even he didn't know that there were such strange trees in the world.

He asked Zhang Bai to explain the uses and contraindications of Cinchona Cream in detail. When he heard the efficacy of the medicine, he was very happy, but also a little worried.

"Half of the patients in Xuanhu Hospital today have malaria. If your medicine is really effective, it can save countless lives!"

"Then, uncle, why don't you come with me and go to the Dream World? How about we get some samples first and try the medicine?"

"That's great! Do you want to go now?"

Zhang Bai scratched his head, thought for a while and said: "I guess it won't work during the day. My brother Zhang Wen is very likely to come to me. It's better for us to take action tonight!"

Yu Ji was startled and quickly asked what the so-called brother was.Zhang Bai then sent Zhang Wen to Shu as an envoy, and he already recognized him, and told what happened along the way.

"I see, Wu and Shu can negotiate peace, and the people will benefit. This is a good thing. Your national affairs are the most important, and our affairs will be handled at night."

After making an agreement with Yu Ji, Zhang Bai went to the Pingle Hall next door and met Zheng Mazi.

The theater has almost been built. The entire theater was built according to Zhang Bai's drawings. There is a roofless circular space in the center of the theater, surrounded by three-story roofed circular galleries.

Inside the theater, there is a platform about two meters above the ground, protruding toward the center. This is the stage.

From the performance area to the backstage, two doors are set up as passages for actors to enter and exit;

There is a human-powered mechanical device hidden above and below the stage, similar to a lifting stage.The floor of the stage is living, allowing the ghosts and gods in the play to enter and exit, and can also be used to set up fireworks and special effects.

The ordinary auditorium is surrounded by rows of long stools on three sides of the stage.

A better location is on the first floor of the corridor.There is a roof here to protect you from the sun and rain.A better location is on the second floor, where a circle of private rooms are set up for rent by wealthy people.

On the third floor are more spacious boxes, with only five in total. The middle one is reserved for Zhang Bai himself, and the other four are intended to be used to entertain dignitaries.

Zhang Bai was extremely satisfied and said happily: "Zheng Mazi, you did a great job, you will be the front desk boss here from now on."

Zheng Mazi said cheerfully, "I understand!"

"Then when can you start the show? If the show is good, it will be much more profitable. I will give you a commission."

Zheng Mazi became even more happy when he heard that. He patted his chest and said, "It doesn't matter when the show starts. I'm just waiting for a word from you."

"What about tomorrow?" Zhang Bai saw that he was talking big words and deliberately disgusted him.

Sure enough, Zheng Mazi immediately became embarrassed, "This is too anxious! We must first decide on the show, and then go out and shout, so that more spectators can come, right? Besides... besides..."

"Besides what?" Seeing him hesitating, Zhang Bai understood that something was wrong.

"Besides...the funds are almost used up. Do you think..."

It turned out to be a matter of money. Zhang Bai was not worried. It was impossible to say how much he trusted Zheng Mazi.However, this kid has a petty thief temperament at best, and cannot make big mistakes.

Besides, Zhang Bai is a practitioner of the Moon Realm Technique, so why would he be afraid of such a lying little ruffian?Let him go and let the bullets fly for a while.

He took out a small bag of silver coins from his arms and handed it to Zheng Mazi, which he had prepared long ago.In his previous life, Zhang Bai was a small business owner. He was very familiar with the management of this kind of shop and chain store, and he basically had it at his fingertips.

"This bag is money. You have to use it to last for three months. After three months, it depends on whether you make money or lose money. If you make money, you will have a share. If you lose money, you will also have a share. Share."

These words were half encouragement and half threat, a carrot and stick approach, which was most suitable for dealing with ruffians like Zheng Mazi.

Zheng Mazi snatched the money bag, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, sir. It won't take three months. I will definitely make money, or I will give you my head. But... what is my commission?" How much?" He immediately asked impatiently for the next sum of money.

Zhang Bai couldn't help laughing when he saw how impatient he was.

Although this boy is greedy for money, he is capable of getting things done.

......

When it was almost time, Zhang Bai and Zheng Mazi were haggling over the price. After Mushroom finished taking the commission, he rode to Zhuge Mansion.

Lingling sent a message, informing him that there was an invitation letter from the Prime Minister's Mansion, asking him to gather immediately for a talk.

He originally wanted to go to the Daxuetang Mine, but now he had to leave it to Daolao for the time being, and the two of them split up.

Servants had been posted in front of the Zhuge Mansion, and Zhang Bai was ushered into the inner courtyard as soon as he arrived.

Zhuge Liang, Zhang Wen, Ma Di, Yang Yi, Liu Ba, Li Yan, and Wu Yi were all present.

Except for Zhang Wen, these people are all important ministers of Shu.After all, Zhang Bai's status was low and he had to be more respectful, so as soon as he entered the main hall, he immediately knelt down and saluted all the ministers present.

Zhuge Liang immediately ordered someone to give him a seat and let him sit next to Zhang Wen to accompany him. Before anyone else could ask questions, he introduced Zhang Bai.

"This is Young Master Zhang, Zhang Bai and Zhang Enpei. You must have met Zhang Bai. I heard that in the county school, he had fluent exchanges with two old gentlemen, Du Qiong and He Zong. Although he is young, he is very talented."

Several people present were involved in the county school incident, so they all nodded.

Zhang Wen immediately said humbly: "My younger brother is young and has just returned from traveling far away from home. He has cultivated his talents and learned little and lacks teaching. It is really making people laugh."

"You don't have to be too modest about your kindness. After today, I will beg you for this person! Enpei is talented and is exactly what the Han Dynasty needs. It would be better to let him stay in Chengdu."

Zhang Wen never expected that Zhuge Liang would speak about this, and he was a little confused for a moment, "This..."

Everyone here felt a little strange. Today, they were originally here to discuss important matters such as peace and treaty. For some reason, the Prime Minister suddenly acted so abruptly because of a young man.

Seeing the awkward situation, Zhang Bai jumped in and said: "The prime minister has raised his head, and Zhang Bai has kept it in mind. However, Zhang Bai left home since he was a child and has not fulfilled his filial piety. Now that he has just returned to the Central Plains, he should first go back to his hometown to worship his ancestors and parents. This was originally It’s your job.”

After everyone heard what Zhang Bai said was reasonable and affectionate, they all praised his filial piety, and the scene calmed down.

But wherever Zhuge Liang is willing to stop, his purpose is to keep Zhang Bai.

I feel uneasy when I think about it. My system is actually on a business trip. I don’t know when I will come back. I can lose it, but I can’t lose the system!
