The general will eat grass

Feng Jingyan and Deng Mian had disapproval in their eyes at the same time, but under Zhao Yuansong's peaceful gaze, they kept quiet rationally.Zhao Yuansong met the Ninth Prince's half-curious and half-nervous face, and said with a smile: "A few days ago, Master Jiu and I were assassinated, and we were very scared. After I went back, I thought about it and decided to make the lightest armor in the world. Inside, protect yourself at all times."

Zhao Yuansong asked Ah Qing and the others to attack the piece of cloth with weapons, only to see that the cloth was really invulnerable, the wooden stakes behind were all broken, but the cloth was still not damaged.Zhao Yuansong asked them to take a charcoal basin and burn the cloth with fire. As soon as the cloth was thrown down, the flames shot up high, but after the flame was extinguished, the cloth was still lying in the charcoal basin intact.

The Ninth Prince and all his guards opened their eyes wide in shock, and Gu Budu ran over immediately, wanting to reach out and grab the piece of cloth to see if it was real.

Zhao Yuansong asked someone to stop him, "Be careful, it's still burning."

"What's going on here? Zhao Shishu, did you learn juggling with the jugglers in Nanji Market?"

Zhao Yuansong raised his eyebrows and said triumphantly: "Who would use that kind of thing to fool you, it's true." He reached out to Fu Gen for a piece of new vine cloth, and handed it to the Ninth Prince, "Ninth Master, feel it, you can try it yourself. "

The Ninth Prince immediately asked the guards around him to test it, and it was finally confirmed that what he saw was true.In the end, even Xueba Gubandu couldn't help asking Zhao Yuansong what this thing was.Zhao Yuansong replied without hesitation: "I call it rattan cloth. It is used to make diamond clothes. The material is a mixture of diamond rattan and asbestos."

The Ninth Prince exclaimed: "Zhao Yuansong, you are really amazing. You actually made such a good thing. It must be a great achievement if you dedicate it to your father!" Yes, but I am really happy that Zhao Yuansong won another treasure.

Zhao Yuansong still had a bit of calculating heart at first, but seeing him like this, he could only treat each other sincerely in his heart.He rubbed his nose and said, "Jiu Ye, I am a businessman, and businessmen are always looking for profit. This cloth is for sale. Today, I want to show Jiu Ye to discuss a deal with Jiu Ye."

"What business?" The Ninth Prince, who was aroused by the interest, asked.

Gu Bandu thought to himself that it was not good, Zhao Yuansong was trying to trick the Ninth Prince.This little dandy is really shameless and too cunning. He is very rich in the city. He first takes the Ninth Prince to eat, drink and have fun, relaxes their vigilance, and then pulls them over so that they can see the magic of this piece of cloth, which completely arouses the Ninth Prince's interest. , is about to sell this piece of cloth to the Ninth Prince.Is he stupid to be the Ninth Prince?What kind of precious garment is this piece of cloth, is it sewn on the chest as a breastplate? "Be careful, Your Highness, don't fall for his tricks!"

Zhao Yuansong waved his hand and asked the three boys from Changgui to bring the three finished Vajra clothes to the Ninth Prince and the others. Unexpectedly, the ancient companion would say such a thing, and he hummed dissatisfiedly: "I and Jiu Ye are also considered to be dead. Friendship, what can I lie to him? Gu Budu, you are knowledgeable, I think I have not made any achievements in learning, and I will not compete with you for the position of close minister next to Master Jiu. I have good intentions, but you are always on guard against me , why is this?"

When Gu Buan saw that someone was offering ready-made clothes, he realized that he had misunderstood.Hearing what Zhao Yuansong said, he blushed and paused for a while.

Seeing this, the Ninth Prince persuaded with a haha: "Zhao Yuansong, don't be angry, I guess Gu Budu heard that you are an ignorant little dude from outside, and has a preconceived idea of ​​you."

Zhao Yuansong rolled his eyes, not knowing that this was the contempt of the top students for the scumbags.

"Oh, don't be angry. Ah, that's the Vajra Clothes, bring it here for me to have a look." The Ninth Prince immediately made peace with Si Ni, and beckoned the guards to pass on to him what Chang Gui held.

The dark fabric, golden bat jacquard, has a slightly cool feeling in the hand, and is heavier than ordinary clothes. It can't be destroyed if it is torn hard.The Ninth Prince's eyes lit up, he immediately put his clothes on outside, and said to the guard, "Prick me with a sword."

"This subordinate dare not!" The guard was startled, and immediately knelt down to plead guilty.

Zhao Yuansong pointed to the broken stake and helped the guards: "Master Jiu, this clothes can block swords and swords, but it still hurts when you are hit by a weapon. This clothes can't be used as armor, it can only save your life in a sudden crisis use."

"Then what business are you telling me? This thing doesn't seem to be very practical?"

Zhao Yuansong curled his lips into a smile, leaned into the Ninth Prince's ear and said, "We'll split this deal fifty-fifty, and the money you earned yourself, Ninth Master, is easy to spend."

The Ninth Prince listened to his detailed explanation, his eyes lit up, and he nodded heavily.

Ancient Companion Reading: Why does he feel that His Highness seems to have been led astray.

The Ninth Prince is very talented in business. After being taught by Zhao Yuansong, he immediately mastered it. He also learned the packaging and publicity methods of doing business without a teacher, and took advantage of the celebrity effect.When he returned to the palace in the afternoon, he purposely ran to His Majesty the Emperor to act coquettishly, and presented it to His Majesty the Emperor, putting it in a gold-encrusted jade box with several grades of vajra clothes.The other one is to send the horse to the prince's mansion with his own horse, and list the advantages and disadvantages of the diamond clothes one by one, explaining his cooperation with Zhao Yuansong, hoping that the prince's brother will give them a convenience.

The Vajra Clothes come in a variety of colors, implying auspiciousness, and the fabric is full of drape. Wearing it on the body, it is a little restrained, but it makes people involuntarily stand up and raise their heads, which enhances a lot of temperament.

His Highness the Crown Prince had a good mind, so he put on this dress on the inside in the morning of the second day, deliberately revealing the cuffs and front of the skirt. The dark-colored jacket was in stark contrast to the bright yellow Crown Prince's robe, making His Highness even more majestic.

The nobles in the capital were greedy for life and feared death a lot. After knowing that there was such a treasured garment, they rushed to buy it. Not long after, as the merchants spread the news, not only the circle of nobles in Kyoto, but even the nobles of Nanyuan Kingdom also heard about the treasured garment. Merchants are required to get a few pieces.

Vajra Clothes are of good quality, thin and close-fitting, and have no worse defensive effect than cloth armor. Although the price is a bit expensive, almost everyone in the elite circle has one.In that era, there was no word "follow the trend", but there was a herd mentality. They felt that since everyone bought it, I should buy it too.Just like everyone else, don't be obtrusive.

When the Ninth Prince got his first dividend, he opened his mouth wide in surprise. "This... so much." The whole 3 taels, he and Zhao Yuansong divided it fifty-fifty, which means that these batches of diamond clothes sold a total of 6 taels.

The Ninth Prince was excited when he made money for the first time.He ordered Concubine Guo to come down, and he forgot about having dinner with the emperor at noon, and ran directly to Duke Dingguo's mansion.When His Majesty the Emperor found out, he was not angry, and even muttered something.

"Your Majesty?" Concubine Guo didn't hear clearly, and immediately explained to her son: "Your Majesty, don't blame Shanguang, he has a childlike heart. You also know that he is stupid, and he is not good at poetry, calligraphy, piano and chess. I want to share your worries for the emperor." After finishing speaking, he gave the maid a wink, took out a small makeup box, took out a silver ticket from it, and handed it to the emperor, "Look, the emperor, this is what he asked his concubine to hand over to you. .”

His Majesty the Emperor held the 1 taels of silver note for a long time without saying a word. It was the first time he received money from his son to give to Lao Tzu, and his mood was a bit complicated.The Ninth Prince is surrounded by someone he placed, and he knows everything about what the Ninth Prince and Zhao Yuansong do every day.The Ninth Prince has an unruly personality and lives recklessly, just like him when he was the King of Qin back then.This child is most like him, so he likes and pampers him very much.

As for Zhao Yuansong...he found that the child was very likely to be his own.

That day when he observed closely in the dungeon of the Inspector's Mansion, he found that his appearance was much like Shuangling's, only his nose and mouth resembled his own.Despite repeated pressure and forced confessions, he was still able to remain calm, and his answers were consistent with each other, which shows his intelligence and cunning.The young boy's experience is quite similar to his. When he was young, he idled around as a playboy, but in reality he kept a low profile and would shine brightly one day. "Both are like me!"

"Your majesty?" Guo Guifei didn't understand what the emperor was talking about.

But Eunuch Li understood, his eyes flickered, and he stood up bowed.

In Duke Dingguo's mansion, the Ninth Prince happened to meet the eldest son of Changyu Wang's family looking for Zhao Yuansong for something.Zhao Yuansong invited people to the study and asked the son's purpose of visiting.Prince Changyu said that the diamond vines in their hands were no longer enough, and the hardness of the diamond vines purchased recently was obviously not as high as before. He came to Zhao Yuansong to find a solution. If it could not be resolved as soon as possible, he was afraid that the emperor would blame him.

"Go to the Xiyi people to exchange, maybe the cost can be reduced." If he remembers correctly, Doctor Bai said that the Vajra Vine was originally produced in the scattered areas of the Xiyi people. If we can maintain long-term trade with the Xiyi people , is more conducive to stabilizing Jishan Pass, and it is even possible to mobilize them to fight against the Huns with Beixuan.

The Ninth Prince interrupted and asked, "Yuan Song, how do you know that Xiyi has Vajra Vine?"

After getting acquainted with the Ninth Prince, Zhao Yuansong became more casual. He opened his mouth and said mockingly: "Reading, Ninth Master."

The Ninth Prince was not angry either, he laughed, "Okay, I admit that you study more than I do. Then Yuan Song, tell me how to reduce the cost? It takes a desert to get to Xiyi, and the round trip takes at least a month. You Do you plan to form a caravan yourself, or hire another bodyguard?"

Prince Changyu frowned, the cost would increase.

Zhao Yuansong raised the corner of his mouth, "I have Xiyi slaves in my family. I am going to send them to be lobbyists to persuade Xiyi leaders to form a caravan and deliver goods to our Beixuan."

"How is it possible!" the Ninth Prince shouted.

"Why is it impossible? Master Jiu said what is the key to doing business?"

"Benefits." Following Zhao Yuansong, the Ninth Prince also learned a lot.

"That's right, it's profit. Vajra vines are treasures in our hands, but grass in their hands. I bought them a cart of grass with a tael of silver. Do you think they will sell it? Are you willing to deliver it to your door?"

Ninth Prince and Changyu's Crown Prince: "...."

"For the Xiyi people, money is second only to food, cloth, and salt. Jiuye, if you can convince the emperor to open the salt market to them, would you like them to give away those useless weeds?" us?"

Ninth Prince and Changyu's Crown Prince: "...."

"Don't be afraid that Xiyi will become stronger because of this. When they become dependent on our products, if they are disobedient, we will directly cut off their food and salt. If they want to live, they have to go to other places to exchange them. The cost must be very high. The people will definitely not be able to bear it. Therefore, if the leader has to be considerate of the people, he will not have a conflict with Beixuan and break up."

Ninth Prince: "..."

Prince Changyu: This kid is too bad, isn't he!
