Go to ancient times and engage in construction

The war against the Tiger Tribe was launched at the end of February. The climate in the area around Nanbu should have been warm and flowers blooming in spring more than 20 years ago, but the climate has gradually become colder for more than [-] years. Although it is already spring, the climate is still dominated by cold .When Chu Chaohui led the army across the river, he was wearing winter clothes. When he returned with his guards after half a month of war, the weather was getting warmer, and he had changed into single shirts, and the willow branches on the bank of Nanbu Wharf had turned green.

From the north bank of the Changhe River to the south bank by boat, it only takes about [-] minutes for a large wooden boat, and the time for a small wooden boat is almost the same with the wind, and more than an hour with the wind.Although the cross-strait ferry took a relatively long time, Chu Chaohui did not leave the general headquarters in the village of the Eagle Tribe to go back to the Nanbu council mansion to visit Zheng Yuming. The army on the ferry to the south bank was all the elite of Chu Chaohui, it was him and Zheng Yuming Li Shi's reliance, he can't feel at ease unless he looks at it personally.

During the battle, Zheng Yuming visited the Eagle Tribe twice by ferry, and each time the stay was very short, because Zheng Yuming had to guard the valley and Nanbu even when the valley and Nanbu were empty. He had to ensure that the rear Stablize.Every time the two met, they were surrounded by the chiefs and elders of the Eagle Tribe, and there was no chance to talk privately, let alone intimate actions.

When the army retreated to the valley, Chu Chaohui did not follow him back. He asked Wei Qing and the commander of the third battalion to lead the soldiers back to the valley to rest first, while he himself took a large wooden boat and carried some victories to Nanbu. Chu Chaohui wanted to see Zheng Yuming sooner, but he couldn't make out for half a month, which made him feel lost.

The scale of Nanbu Wharf is now three times larger than that of two years ago. The side of the wharf was rebuilt with a whole piece of rock, and the houses on the shore close to the wharf were demolished to other places, freeing up a wide area for merchants to load and unload goods and to travel by horse-drawn carriage. Bei also built tall houses for storage, and rented them to merchants to store goods.

In addition to storage houses facing the port, there are also several shops and two small restaurants.The shop was opened by a few peddlers who used to sell goods in the port, and the best business was the peddler surnamed Wei who once sold gold hairpins to Tuoxiong and his daughter.

When trading hairpins with Tuoxiong and his daughter, it was the first time that Wei shopkeeper went to Nanbu Wharf to do business. He was not familiar with Nanbu people, and of course he didn’t know Tuoxiong. It was a wealthy Daqin nobleman who did not treat the two of them coldly like other shopkeepers. Instead, he was quite enthusiastic about selling the goods, and successfully got Tuoxiong to set up a business of buying gold hairpins.

Salesman Wei’s enthusiastic service attitude won the favor of Chief Tuo. After the Eagle Tribe made a fortune mining iron ore, the tribe’s purchases were all purchased from Salesman Wei. Salesman Wei made a lot of money because of this. Last year, he used the money he earned to buy at the port. The shop has ended the business of running around with loads of goods.

Wei Merchant knew the true identity of Tuo Chief not long after the Jinzanzi transaction. At that time, he was stunned by Tuo Xiong's large order. He summed up the truth that doing business should be done in a harmonious manner to make money. After opening the store, although there are regular big customers of the Eagle Tribe, he also treats other customers who come to the door with a smile, which makes his business more prosperous. Hired three guys to help.

When Chu Chaohui came ashore, the shopkeeper Wei was trying to attract customers at the door of the shop.Chu Chaohui spends most of his time in the valley and rarely stays in Nanbu. There are many people in Nanbu who only know his name but don't know him, and Mr. Wei is one of them.

"Do customers come to Nanbu for shopping?"

Chu Zhaohui looked down at the shopkeeper Wei who greeted him with a smile on his face, and waved his hands to stop the guards around him from rushing forward.Wei Merchant is only 1 meters tall.

"What fresh goods does my boss have?"

"There are all kinds of food, all kinds of accessories, Nanbu brocade cloth, leather boots, and household items. This shop has the most complete variety of goods. If you don't believe me, you can go into the small shop to have a look."

Wei Merchant was not afraid of the six guards behind Chu Chaohui. Members of the Nanbu Village Public Security Bureau patrolled the village from time to time. The shopkeepers of the business all wear bamboo whistles for calling.

As for why members of the Public Security Bureau help merchants, according to the official explanation of the Council Office, it is because the vendors who open their doors to do business pay taxes to the Council Office. After the Council collects taxes, it is obliged to protect their business safety. The merchant's burden.

Chu Chaohui raised his eyebrows, and felt that this merchant who was not afraid of him was very interesting. Chu Chaohui was 1 meters tall, with a burly figure, and just standing there was a kind of coercion to others. The merchant in front of him was obviously in front of profits. Overcome the fear caused by the height difference.

"Okay, let's go to the owner's store to have a look."

"Customers, please come in!" Merchant Wei led the way attentively. Chu Chaohui was dressed in casual clothes, and the materials and styles of the clothes were of good workmanship. Merchant Wei felt that he had found another big customer.

The goods in Wei Shilang's shop are well-organized, which is a bit like a small supermarket in later generations, except that the containers are placed along the walls, with empty spaces in the middle.

Chu Chaohui looked around at the commodities around him, and found that there were many kinds of commodities from Wei Merchant, half of which were produced by Nanbu. This kind of goods were mainly sold to outsiders, and the other half were commodities from the surrounding vassal states. These commodities were not available in Nanbu. Sell ​​to locals.These two types of goods are placed separately.

Chu Chaohui was not interested in local goods, he stood in front of foreign goods and looked at them.

"Guest, here are the animal skins that the natives of the mountains hunted. Because the weather is warming up, they are sold here at a low price." The shopkeeper Wei tried his best to sell his goods. "There is also snake repellent here, which is also put here by the mountain natives for my family to sell. Now that the weather is getting hotter and snakes and insects are starting to appear, customers can buy some back for later use."

"Snake repellent?" Chu Zhaohui sniffed, and he smelled a familiar smell, which made his heart beat faster.

"Yes, if you have this medicine at home, snakes and insects will not enter the house. This kind of snake medicine is only prepared by the natives of the mountains. Nanbu, no, only Weiji stores around Dacheng have this product." Chu Chaohui was interested, so he squatted down and opened the lid of a pottery jar, and let Chu Zhaohui inspect the goods.

When the pottery jar was opened, the pungent smell became stronger, and the lumps of the pottery jar were egg-yellow in color.

Chu Zhaohui covered his nose and stared at the yellow lump for a long time without speaking.

"Just wrap a small piece of this thing in a cloth and throw it in the corner, and the snakes and insects will avoid it when they smell it." Wei shopkeeper covered the pottery jar. The smell was pungent and uncomfortable.

"How much of this kind of snake repellent is there?" Chu Chaohui's mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes sparkled.

"Two altars." The weather has just turned warm, and there are not many people buying snake repellents, and the snake repellents brought in by Wei's shopkeeper have not yet opened.

"I want it all."

"Okay! Two altars total three gold, do you want my family to deliver it to the truck?" Wei shopkeeper was very happy to complete the business.

"No need." Chu Chaohui shook his head, two guards behind him stepped forward to take away the pottery altar, and one guard took out three gold to pay the shopkeeper Wei.

Chu Zhaohui wandered around the shop for a while, but didn't find what he wanted again, so he walked out with the guards.As soon as he arrived outside the store, Chu Chaohui arranged for a guard to watch over him. He was eager to find the mountain native who sold the snake repellent medicine to the shopkeeper Wei.

When Chu Chaohui established his own military power, he always wanted to make hot weapons. Guns could not be manufactured because of the lack of smelting technology, and there were no tools such as lathes. However, the production of gunpowder was feasible, as long as the three raw materials were prepared.

The three necessary items for making gunpowder are potassium nitrate, sulfur, and charcoal. Charcoal is the easiest to obtain. Potassium nitrate is usually extracted from saltpeter. Without saltpeter, Chu Chaohui can also use other soil methods to obtain it. Only sulfur, Chu Chaohui has always been I can't find it. The snake repellent that I accidentally discovered today is actually sulfur, which is exactly what Chu Chaohui has been looking for.

Chu Chaohui, who had gained a lot, rushed to the council mansion excitedly, wanting to tell Zheng Yuming the good news, but the line of Ulsan lords lined up in front of the council mansion's car and the guard of honor made Chu Chaohui lose his appetite.

Mr. Ulsan returned to Dacheng from Nanbu last year and took a period of recuperation. After he recovered, he wanted to inspect Nanbu. Wei Shen knew that the young master only cared about Zheng Yuming, and he went to Nanbu just to get along with Zheng Yuming. It doesn't matter if you favor a man. After all, Young Master Guang is not destined to be the lord of the country. As long as he can give birth to an heir, it doesn't hurt to get along with a man for the rest of his life.But now he and Zheng Chu have conspired to make a plan. Young Master Guang is likely to inherit the position of Lord Wu. As the king of a country, he cannot be with men in an open and honest way, because Daqin etiquette does not approve of monarchs being accompanied by men and women. From the point of view of reproduction.What's more, Wei Shen has already seen the intimacy between Zheng and Chu.

On the one hand, Wei Shen has already cooperated with Zheng and Chu, on the other hand, he doesn't want Young Master Guang to get into too much trouble, so he always deliberately stops Young Master Guang from visiting Nanbu on the pretext that Yi Ji is still harboring ill intentions towards him, and he has to pay attention to the assassins. Young Master Guang went to Nanbu to meet Zheng Yuming.

Wei Shenneng is cold and hard-hearted towards everyone, but only towards Young Master Guang. Artist Xin didn't call for two months, and after he started to lose weight, Wei Shen compromised.

This is the third time for Young Master Guang to visit the Nanbu Council Office after the Spring Festival. Every time he feels that time flies too fast. No, Young Master Guang arrived in Nanbu in the morning escorted by more than 100 tigers, and had a meal at the Council Mansion. Lunch, in the blink of an eye, it's evening.

"Zheng Qing, how about just moving the Ulsan monarch's mansion to Nanbu?" The young master just looked at the sun outside the house, hoping that the direction there was not west but east.

"Master, you are joking. Nanbu doesn't even have a protective wall. How can such a place protect your safety? Your status is noble, and at this critical moment, you have to be extremely careful." Zheng Yuming's head hurts. Every time the son visits, he has to Let go of the affairs in hand and accompany you. After Young Master Guang leaves, you have to work a night shift to deal with the delayed matters.

The soldiers in the valley fought victoriously in the north of Changhe, but the spoils sent to Nanbu had not yet been distributed, and the leader of the refugee team who wanted to open up wasteland was waiting eagerly at Wu Da.Zheng Yuming was also anxious, and he looked at the sun frequently, hoping that the sun would set soon.

"Could it be that Guang's body is valuable, but Qing's body is not?" Young Master Guang was a little sad, and Zheng Yuming's words separated the two.

"Ah, the son is more noble than the minister. Dacheng can lose Yuming, but he can't lose the son." Zheng Yuming stepped back slightly, lowered his head and insisted on his opinion.

Young Master Guang was very sad. After returning from the Harvest Festival, Zheng Yuming got along with him too politely and seemed a lot unfamiliar. "In Guang's heart, Qing is the most precious, more precious than anyone else."

Zheng Yuming lowered his head even more, he took another step back and bowed to Young Master Guang to salute: "Young Master, please be careful with your words!"

The conversation between the two was heard clearly by Chu Chaohui, who was waiting for the waiter outside the house. Chu Chaohui only felt his eyes burning, his teeth sour, his hands and feet itchy, and he really wanted to drag that young nobleman who coveted Zheng Yuming into the yard. Beat up.
