I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

Luo Shixing himself doesn't like to preach metaphysics, although he does seem to have a little metaphysics in him.

However, if this metaphysics can make these bigwigs feel more at ease, he doesn't mind.

He scratched his head and said: "I have some in my pond, maybe not very big, let someone go and get six of them, and when the time comes, each gentleman will choose one, which can be regarded as a gift from me to everyone."

It is definitely unrealistic to go to the river to fish mussels now, especially since Luo Shixing opened up so many pearls, the mussels in that river are almost empty!

If Luo Shixing sent someone there, I'm afraid that the whole county would be moved by the wind, so it's better to fish from the pond at home, and at worst, I'll find a way to replenish it later.

Cheng Jingwei went out to inform, and after a while Xiao Shanshu came in with two slaves carrying six mussels.

Xiao Shanshu stood there trying to look serious and said, "Six mussels, the biggest ones in the pond are here."

Luo Shixing rubbed his head with a smile, hey, now the only people younger than him in the whole manor are Wei Ziyao's younger siblings and Xiao Shanshu, he is fourth from last, it makes me sad to think about it.

Luo Shixing conveniently gave Xiao Shanshu a piece of fruit and sent him out to play. He turned his head to look at the mussels and found that they had all been cleaned, and they were all about the same size by visual inspection.

He asked, "Have you chosen all?"

The six people looked at each other in blank dismay. After trying hard for a long time, they couldn't see any difference between these mussels. Even ordinary mussels couldn't tell whether there were beads or not.

They each chose one dubiously, but they were all about the same size anyway, so there was nothing to choose from.

After Luo Shixing waited for them to choose, he rolled up his sleeves, touched six mussels one by one, and said, "Let's open it."

Everyone stared: Is that all right?

The two slaves who helped bring the mussels did not go out with Xiao Shanshu, but started to help open the mussels after Luo Shixing gave an order.

In order not to confuse them, they are opened one by one.

The first one to open Cui Shenji, everyone looked at Cui Shenji's mussel very curiously. The slaves were very skilled in opening the oyster, and after opening it, it was a pearl.

The freshly opened beads do not look bright, and people who have never seen them may wonder if the beads are pearls.

It's just that after the pearls are washed with salt, they begin to bloom their own brilliance.

This pearl was not as big as the three largest ones in Luo Shixing's hands, but it was not too small. It was pure white in color, and it was still bright and flawless.

Because this pearl was opened in full view, no one suspected the possibility of fraud.

Of course, the most important thing is that Luo Shixing doesn't need to be fake. If he wants to fake it, he needs pearls to do it. Luo Shixing was exiled here, and the salutes were all cleaned up by Mr. Yuan Keshi. How could he be allowed to bring pearls?

Besides that one bead, there were also some rice grain-shaped pearls that were cleaned and put aside, not many, just three or four.

Cui Shenji couldn't put it down holding that bead.

With his example, other people began to be full of hope for their own mussels.

As the mussels drove past one by one, the beads that came out in this wave were basically pure white beads, and there were no more beads with special light in Luo Shixing's hands.

However, everyone's requirements were not high. In their opinion, getting pearls was far less interesting than watching Luo Shixing's live performance.

In order to convince them further, Cheng Jingwei even had someone take two other mussels and open them on the spot, and there was nothing but the mussel meat.

This is amazing, Yuan Zhihong couldn't help touching Luo Shixing's little hand: "This hand is really priceless."

Li Youdao said with emotion: "If you put this kind of beads in Chang'an, you might not be able to buy them without ten thousand dollars."

"Wan Guan said less." Wang Sui carefully observed the beads in his hand and said: "Princess Taiping has a hairpin with beads similar in size to this one, and the quality may not be as good. It is said that the hairpin is worth [-] guan."

Luo Shixing was dumbfounded when he heard it. Although he knew that what these people said was highly credible, he still didn't believe it.

Wanguan money... The so-called Wanguan family wealth was really a rich man in ancient times.

How much is the living expenses of ordinary people for a year, is this bead so expensive?

The most important thing is that although the quality of the beads in these people's hands is good, the size is considered medium in his box.

In other words... There were hundreds of thousands of coins in Luo Shixing's box.

He was about to be stunned by the news.

Cheng Jing slightly patted Lynx's head and said, "Scarcity is the most expensive thing. If there are too many of these things, the price will not go up."

Luo Shixing carefully closed the box and asked, "Can these be exchanged for money?"

The bosses also treasured the pearls. Yuan Zhihong thought for a while and said: "If you want to change it, you have to go to Fucheng. It must not work here. You don't have that much money if you want to change it."

They have lived here for a while, and they know very well that the local area is basically still in the stage of bartering, and Luo Shixing can exchange a little supplies at most.

Li Youdao said: "In fact, it is best to go to Fucheng, where you can find people."

Luo Shixing understood in an instant that what he said to find someone was actually to buy Han people, at least people who had nothing to do with the Ouluo clan.

He tilted his head: "I haven't been to Fucheng yet, is it far from there?"

Wang Sui said: "About more than 100 miles, it's not very far, but the journey is very difficult and takes a lot of time."

Luo Shixing hesitated after hearing this: "Well, isn't that not easy?"

Liu Qixian said: "I have some friendship with the governor of the Annan Protectorate. If the lynx cat is at ease, I will go there."

After hearing this, Luo Shixing smiled and said, "I have nothing to worry about. I'm just worried about the health of the gentlemen. I originally wanted you to take a good rest and take care of your body."

He was indeed not in a hurry to get these people to work, otherwise he wouldn't be surprised that these people started working the next day.

Cheng Jingwei even said: "Everyone, why not wait for two days, when you go to Fucheng together, I just happened to buy some clothes for you. We use local homespun cloth here, which is not very good."

Although the bosses wanted better clothes, Luo Shixing and Cheng Jingwei both wore clothes made of local cloth, and they were too embarrassed to ask for this or that.

Luo Shixing seemed to see their hesitation and said, "I also want some clothes, especially shoes. The shoes that the locals wear are straw sandals, which are very uncomfortable."

Cheng Jing smiled and said, "I wear straw sandals because they are convenient enough. In the rainy season, even a hundred pairs of cloth boots might not be enough for you to change."

Luo Shixing: ...

Well, the era without rain boots is indeed a bit difficult.

Anyway, this matter is settled like this, anyone who wants to go can go.

However, the bosses did not rush to go, but decided to go to three people and keep three people.

Liu Qixian, Yuan Zhihong and one Wang Sui went to Fucheng, and the rest stayed.

Li Youdao said specifically: "Since there are not many cloths, please remember to see if there are any spring silkworms that you can bring over. I saw mulberry trees a while ago. When the time comes, plant some mulberry trees and raise spring silkworms to weave."

Luo Shixing was slightly taken aback, Spring Silkworm?silk?

They don't need such luxury now, do they?

He hesitated: "I heard that silkworms are very difficult to raise."

Li Youdao smiled slightly: "My wife is quite proficient in this way."

Suddenly, Luo Shixing slapped his head, how could he forget this.

The children of aristocratic families must be well-matched when they marry a wife, and these days, no matter how high their status is, cooking is a must for women. It can even be said that women in the world can spin cloth as long as they have the conditions.

The only difference is whether they are good at it or not. It just so happens that Li Youdao's wife is quite knowledgeable in weaving.

At the same time, he also reminded Luo Shixing that these bigwigs are useful, and their wives are actually very useful as well.

But Luo Shixing didn't say it on the spot, he wanted to go back and study it with Cheng Jingwei.

After deciding to go to Fucheng, Luo Shixing directly took out a handful of pearls from the box, put them in a sackcloth bag, and handed them to Wang Sui, saying, "This should be enough, right? Let's do it for now, next time." Say it again!"

Wang Sui: ...

He had never seen such a pearl in his life, and he was a little bit dumbfounded for a while: "That's enough."

Taking out one of these pearls can cause a sensation in a small area. Fortunately, the little lynx didn't take out the three pearls, otherwise everyone would stop him collectively.

Those three pearls are enough to be family heirlooms!

This time when the three of them passed by, Luo Shixing discussed with Cheng Jingwei and directly assigned them four guards, one of which was Wang Antong.

Wang Antong has improved a lot this time with Cheng Jingwei, and he has no problem communicating with people. Although he still looks a little silly, he is not very old, so it is not a big problem.

The bosses heard that Wang Antong was originally a wolf child, or that he became a wolf child because his parents died on the road to exile, and they all felt a little pity.

Especially Wang Sui, after hearing that Wang Antong should also be born in the Wang family of Taiyuan, he loved the child even more, and he happened to take this child with him on this trip.

His wife, Webster, was also very happy after hearing this. For the sake of the children's future, they tried to do something when they were exiled so that the children would not come with them.

The hardships she has endured during this period made Wei Shi very glad that she didn't bring her children here, but she didn't want to.

When she went to the manor and looked at those children, she missed her own children even more, and at this moment she felt a little empathetic to Wang Antong.

The two of them didn't doubt Cheng Jingwei's fabricated lies, after all, when Cheng Jingwei compiled them, he had considered the possibility of being exposed.

The Taiyuan Wang clan is all over the world, and even Wang Sui may not be able to figure out how many clan members there are.

And Cheng Jingwei's reason for choosing Wang Antong is very simple - he alone can reach a small army.

The road to Fucheng is very far away, so it may not be useful to send more people. After all, the slaves in the manor have not been trained, and it may not be possible to use them as guards.

The remaining three were not so much guards as they were doing odd jobs, in order to make their journey as comfortable as possible.

The real guards are Wang Antong and his pack of wolves.

What Luo Shixing didn't expect was that Wei Siwen came to look for him with a group of men, women and children early the next morning, and said, "This is the person sent to you by the order."

Luo Shixing was at a loss: "Why give it to me properly?"
