Empress Chongxilong who became a sick and weak emperor

Friendship with General Song

The road today is surprisingly calm, there are no people talking loudly, and even weapons are not even brought out to light up when buying and selling things. All of them have been arrested and brought to justice to appease the people in Yuncheng to live a normal life.

Song Yan and Xu Huaiqing returned to the mansion before dark.

The next day.

The two slept unscrupulously until the afternoon, and then got up from the bed in a daze and tidied up.

Song Yan and Xu Huaiqing pressed their faces together, and only then did some sticky heat dissipate. His body temperature is usually higher than that of ordinary people, and now it is hotter in summer, but there is no sea for him to swim freely.

Coupled with His Majesty's presence, ice cubes and the like cannot be taken out, so naturally only Xu Huaiqing can cool off the heat.

Song Yan pestered him and muttered, "Where are we going today?"

Xu Huaiqing let Song Yan hug him for a while, then passed over the sour soup with ice cubes, and thought about it seriously: "Go to Mr. Han, didn't you say you are going to recruit talents?"

Thinking about it, I feel ashamed, they originally said that they were going to do business, but in the end they made enough fun. After such a long time, they have been looking for fun.

Xu Huaiqing felt ashamed for a while, so he decided to pay a visit to the blacksmiths in Guiyun City while their group was handling the case.

He is envious of the craftsmanship of this huge group, they are so good at making weapons, is it easy to switch to farming tools?

After all, there is essentially no difference between weapons and farm tools. Since weapons can enhance human skills to a certain extent, then farmers who have farm tools at hand will be even more powerful, and they can even spare time to reclaim wasteland.

Now the population of this dynasty is not saturated, that is to say, as long as you have enough strength, you can plant as much land as you want, so it is also advocated to have more children, regardless of men and women, all have the same amount of land to distribute.

Song Yan said hello, she and Xu Huaiqing went to find Mr. Han after eating at a roadside stall.

As soon as Mr. Han saw the two of them, he greeted them with a smile: "Your honored guest!"

As a walking purse, Song Yan accepted this address very calmly: "Hello, sir."

Mr. Han asked the two to sit down, let the boy serve some melons and fruits, and then asked: "What are you two doing today? The rumors are a little tight recently, but I will make the weapons you want as soon as possible, don't worry!"

Xu Huaiqing said: "Don't worry, when Mr. Han made it, just let us know. This time the two of us are not about weapons, but want to discuss the most secure business with Mr. Han .”

"Business? What a big tone. I don't think you two are people who can talk freely. Let's hear it." Mr. Han still smiled, but showed interest.

Xu Huaiqing said: "It's about farm tools. I heard that you have many disciples under your command?"

Mr. Han nodded: "It's true."

He did have many apprentices, almost all over Guiyun City, and some of them even made a lot of achievements, and they were also famous masters in the South Street of the city.

Mr. Han scratched his head, puzzled, even if it was agricultural tools, he didn't need to find his apprentice, any blacksmith could take it, and the price was even lower.

Xu Huaiqing said bluntly: "I want to introduce business to your group of apprentices. It's farm tools, but they are improved farm tools that the imperial court wants."

"The recent turmoil in Guiyun City, arms sales are bound to wither for a while, and even if it passes, it may not return to its peak.

But farm tools are different. This is what the court wants. As long as it is improved and can improve people's efficiency, even if it is a blueprint, the court will pay a high price for it. "

He listed his advantages: "I know Mr. Han's apprentice will not be a person who follows the scriptures, or else there will not be so many suitable weapons every time, so I came to you. The most important thing is , the craftsmen who supply this kind of farm tools will also be absorbed by the imperial court, and in the end it will be high-ranking officials with generous salaries, and it is feasible to sit on an equal footing with civil officials and military generals."

He is used to explaining the words directly, listing what he can give, and then letting the other party decide whether to want it or not.

After Mr. Han heard it, his eyes immediately widened like copper bells. He was an official, and he asked in disbelief, "Really?"

He suppressed his excitement and calmed down slowly. In the end, he still relied on his ability to eat. How to define this improvement is also a matter of knowledge, but the profit is so big that even his brain is getting hot. Even if it is difficult to define the scope, he still has to try. Last try.

Song Yan seemed to expect that Mr. Han would not believe it, so she took out a piece of gold from her sleeve, shook it in her hand and put it in front of Mr. Han: "It's more real than real gold."

Mr. Han glanced at the gold, then looked at the two of them, he was full of luxury, he didn’t look like a liar fishing for big fish with a long line, and besides, the materials Song Yan sent for blacksmithing were of top quality that he had never seen in his life, so he was dubious: "How to prove it?"

He knew very well that the offer offered by the other party was something no craftsman could refuse, but he still had to drag it out, not to mention honoring his apprentice every year, but also for himself to resist the temptation and try it out.

Under Mr. Han's eager gaze, Song Yan took out a golden token with the royal characters on it, obviously, it was a certificate.

As soon as Song Yanfu handed it over, Mr. Han held it with trembling hands.

He has never seen it, but it does not prevent him from aligning this token with Tianjia.

That's the Tian family, as long as the gold thief steals a small piece of gold from the Shengshang Gold Mine, he can cause an uproar in the rivers and lakes, and then he knows the status of the Tian family in the hearts of their Jianghu followers. It exists in legends and cannot be offended.

No matter how daring they are, they dare not confront the emperor.

Mr. Han showed an expression that seemed to be smiling but not crying, his chubby face was wrinkled into a ball, and he asked tremblingly, "Who are you guys? Why are you so powerful?"

He didn't set his eyes on the two of them, but still stared at the token that just fell into his hand, cherishing it very much.

Song Yan said with a smile: "I am the Holy One."

As expected, Mr. Han finally raised his head and looked at Xu Huaiqing.

Xu Huaiqing shook his sleeves, as if he didn't know what to say, he was silent for a moment and said: "I have friendship with General Song."

Mr. Han's eyes lit up, and he said in an unexpected voice: "No one should leave, stay for dinner today!"

He didn't feel any pain: "I treat you!"

"Just a little." Mr. Han stretched out a fat finger, showing an expression of crying with excitement: "Just tell me about General Song's deeds, don't talk about changing my apprentice, even I can change my career! "

That was Song Yan, who was brave and good at fighting, pacified the bandits in the northern border, and single-handedly killed the generals of the Xiongnu twice.

Mr. Han can say without hesitation that one of his great wishes in life is to forge a knife for General Song, so that he can use it more easily next time.

Xu Huaiqing tugged at the sleeve that Mr. Han was pinching tightly, but failed to pull it out, so he began to communicate with Mr. Han about Song Yan, and then was forced to listen to the heroic deeds of the people around him.

And the sporadic things he said about Song Yan could be regarded as treasures by the other party, as if he wanted to confess directly.

Song Yan touched the tip of her nose and stood up, leaving room for the two of them, while she went to ask the cook for advice.

It's indescribably refreshing to have a younger brother brag for him.

The two left at Mr. Han's place after finalizing the matter and having an extra meal, but they met Bai Wushuang just as they left the alley.

When Bai Wushuang saw the two of them, he muttered: "Brother Song, Brother Xu, you two have deceived me so badly!"

Xu Huaiqing didn't feel bad towards Bai Wu Shuang, but he was a somewhat ordinary young master, he simply said: "I didn't lie."

Bai Wushuang followed the two of them: "I still said that I didn't lie. You two are on a mission. Did you tell me your real name? It was obviously made up casually. Now I'm afraid I don't remember what it was called. Bai blinded us sincerely." brotherhood!"

Song Yan refused to accept it, and shouted at Bai Wushuang through Xu Huaiqing: "You didn't call us when you ran away, and you wanted to sneak away."

This brotherhood will be broken as soon as it is broken, besides, he and His Majesty are not brothers, they are obviously husband and wife!

Bai Wushuang fell down, his face was disheveled, and finally he took out the blueprint from his sleeve and handed it to Xu Huaiqing: "This is about gunpowder, it is my apology to you, so that you can do your job well."

He attached great importance to gunpowder, and saw two people coming to Guiyun City in a hurry. The first time they saw gunpowder, they said they wanted gunpowder. It was clearly premeditated. Knowing that the Bloodthirsty Sect had this thing, they could not go far away. Come here to grab.

It's just that the people of the Bloodthirsty Cult have been caught now, but their followers are strong-tempered and derogatory. It is difficult to extract the blueprints from their mouths.

When the time comes to return to Beijing to see their masters, they will definitely be charged with a crime of being unfavorable.

Although Bai and Wu Shuang had never been to Beijing, how could His Majesty, who is so lofty, not punish the two of them no matter how popular the people are.

"Do you want love!" Seeing Xu Huaiqing stunned, Bai Wushuang couldn't lift his face immediately, and was about to leave, but the moment he turned around was extremely slow.

Song Yan took the blueprint with a smile, and said loudly, "Why don't we want such a good thing?"

Xu Huaiqing looked helpless: "We really need it."

Bai Wushuang turned around and snorted, he gave it to them at the risk of being beaten by his father.

It can be considered that the two of them had a bit of wink, and they deserve to be his friend of Mr. Bai.

But at this moment, a little boy in silk and satin ran over like a hot wheel on his feet. He twisted a piece of paper in both hands, and ran towards Song Yan and Xu Huaiqing while shouting, Young Master, before his eyes , hastily stopped.

Bai Wushuang only felt a gust of wind blowing by, and the goodbye person was on the side, and his face still looked familiar.

The little boy was the young father-in-law yesterday. He raised his head and held the ink-stained rice paper, his facial features leaping with joy: "My lord! The gunpowder blueprint you want is out."

He only had His Majesty and General Song in his eyes, and he didn't see Bai Wushuang at all, so that such news broke out.

The boy waited for His Majesty to take over the blueprints before praising them. With them around, why can't the iron mouth be pried open?

But Xu Huaiqing didn't answer for a long time, even Song Yan was stunned.

The little boy didn't understand, and said in detail: "It's something that the Bloodthirsty Sect used yesterday. Our people have already restored it and even tried it. It's more powerful than theirs."

They spent a day and a night, which is really a step backward. If the tools were in hand, they could have done it in a few clicks.

He was distressed and blamed himself for thinking that His Majesty was dissatisfied: "The delay until today is due to our inefficiency in handling affairs."

The little boy lowered his head, not noticing that Song Yan flattened the corners of his raised mouth, Xu Huaiqing clasped Song Yan's hand, while Bai Wushuang's face was contorted and his eyes widened.

He gritted his teeth, all for comfort, saying what he needed, he was obviously lying to him!

Two big liars!

Fortunately, he thought that he had made outstanding contributions, hum!
