Chapter 1406 Men and women with stories
Chen Qi did not. He went to the provincial capital and was admitted to the provincial college. After a year of study, he voluntarily dropped out of school and went to sea with the fleet. As a result, he encountered a storm and the ship was damaged by more than half. Fortunately, the people were rescued by the joint fleet.
After returning, he lost all his wealth and was so angry that his family was in chaos. The girl who had been kind for many years could get married without a bride price. As a result, Chen Qi went to Shanxi to buy coal, making a profit of 400 taels a year.
The family was pressing and forced Chen Qi to get married, but Chen Qi buried his head in "studying", staring at some dark things all day long, and even creating a "kiln" outside the city. He never returned home all day long, and the girl was always with him, so there was something unavoidable.
The two families were born with the two behaviors, and the two Buddhas became ascended to heaven and could no longer bear it and broke up their relationship.
This made the two families very angry. The girl was already twenty years old and an old girl. She was inevitably sad and she still refused to leave her.
This time, the "oil lamp" that Chen Qi made was burned from some black things. When combined with a stove, just light the fire and there is enough oil, it can burn endlessly.
They spent thirty taels to rent the venue and asked an old scholar to bring up the plaque. This was their last money.
If you can't make money this time and your family doesn't recognize them, you really have nowhere to go and you're homeless.
The young man was still confident and patted the girl on the shoulder, with a calm tone and firm tone, saying, "It's okay, with me here, it won't be hard for people to endure."
The girl wanted to cry and laugh. After so many years, she followed him, probably because of his fearless attitude.
At this time, from the crowd opposite, a young couple was staying with a six or seven-year-old child, walking around the crowd cleaning place, and the next one was about to come to them.
The young man stared at the young man, and when he looked from head to toe, his eyes suddenly shone brightly.
The man looks twenty-four and five years old, and his hat is made of gold wire. This is the craft of starting a family in Liuzhou. His clothes are obviously made by the Han family in Hangzhou. His belt is even more luxurious. Chen Qi has never seen it, but it must be expensive!
Needless to mention the pants and shoes, there are conspicuous Suzhou woven nameplates on it, and this one is at least a few hundred taels.
The woman didn't dare to look at her. The child was dressed very well. This family was definitely a noble person, and even a wealthy family was not so luxurious.
The family came to them and paid for the money. The three of them looked at the plaque and the little boy said, "Is there anything special about your oil lamp?"
Chen Qi was energetic and stared at the rich man with a faint look. He held a lamp similar to a long-mouthed wine pot in his hand and said with a smile: "My lamp is not ordinary. This round bottle is made of special glass, which is heat-resistant and throwable, easy to lift and place. The wick is copper wire cotton cloth. After ignition, it can illuminate a main hall... The most important thing is that it is not only beautiful in appearance, but also convenient to use, but also long-lasting. This bottle of oil is worth more than fifty candles!"
The little boy's eyes lit up and he said, "Really? How much does it cost for you guys?"
Chen Qi glanced at the rich man and said, "I am so exquisite, especially oily, and have a very unusual origin. I refined it based on the masterpieces of Shen Kuo of the Song Dynasty..."
The little boy was very interested in listening. He took the oil lamp, looked up and down, and before Chen Qi finished speaking, he said, "You are very ordinary, at most ten cents."
Chen Qi was stunned, looked at the rich man again, and suddenly said with a smile: "The little brother has vision. The outside is average, and the bottle inside is extraordinary."
The little boy said, "I know, I've been there."
Chen Qi was really surprised this time. He looked up at Zhu Xu and said with a smile: "Young Master is extraordinary, and Chen admires him."
The rich young master had a calm expression and said lightly, "I took him there when he was a child, and later he also often."
Chen Qi looked at Zhu Xu deeply, his expression became more and more serious, and said, "I'm not hiding it from my brother, I'm the oil lamp..."
"The key to your oil lamp is in this oil. The oil in Shen Kuo's "Dream of Dreams and Bi Tan" was taken from high temperature." The rich young master said with a calm expression.
Chen Qi was stunned. The reason for being stunned was not that this rich young man knew Shen Kuo’s "Dream of Dreams", but that he could accurately tell the method of making this oil!
If it weren't for sure that this noble man had never known him, and his secret was not likely to be revealed, he really suspected that this man had the ability to read his mind!
The little boy looked at Shen Qi's expression, glanced at his mouth, returned the oil lamp, and said, "The smell is too heavy."
This is also a disadvantage of kerosene lamps. They are not only odorful when placed, but also have a greater taste when burned.
Chen Qi was exposed and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Young Master Fugui's expression was plain and he had insight into everything. He was obviously not interested in his things and had turned around and left.
Chen Qi sat on the chair, smiled bitterly, and said, "I have been studying it for a year, and it turns out that someone has studied it long ago..."
The girl beside him looked at his expression and felt bitter, but she still comforted herself: "It's okay, Brother Qi, this road cannot be done, we have other roads to go. At worst, I will go to Annan with you. Didn't you say that it's very profitable to pack land there?"
Chen Qi encountered setbacks and sat there blankly, not at all indulgent. He didn't know if he heard the girl's words, so he nodded silently.
The girl was worried about him and kept talking, hoping to distract him from the energy and cheer him up.
But Chen Qi was listless, took a sip of tea, and sat in a daze on the chair, as if he had failed, and looked like he was in a desperate situation.
The family who walked away continued to stroll, all in places where there were few people staying.
After coming out of a so-called 'water pump' venue, the little boy looked up and said, "Father, how do you know so much?"
These three people are Zhu Xu, Li Jieyu, and Zhu Ciye's family.
Zhu Xu was circling his fan in his hand and laughed: "When my father was a child, he didn't like the Four Books and Five Classics. He enjoyed all kinds of miscellaneous stories all day long. Your aunt was so worried about this. She kept her father several times and found many teachers for her father. But she still didn't read many Four Books and Five Classics, but she read more and more miscellaneous books..."
Li Jieyu smiled aside, she knew something.
Xiao Ciye said "Oh" and stopped talking.
At this time, Xue Zhengqing quietly followed and whispered: "Emperor, Master Sun Ge Lao is preparing to invite envoys from various countries and merchants. After the banquet, various contracts should be finalized."
Zhu Xu was not surprised, and fanned his back, patted him gently, and said, "Well, I won't show up for this matter. You have to let Master Sun handle it with all your power. By the way, the Ministry of Revenue invested 5 million yuan, and the responsible persons will be selected by the General Administration, and the cooperative persons will be selected from Japan and Suihai Province. Those who dig rivers should try to recruit from the local area and train well, which will be of great use in the future."
‘Train well’, Xue Zhengqing instantly realized that this is not training to dig a river, but training into an army!
Xue Zhengqing raised his hand, looked solemn, and said, "Yes, I understand."
Just as he was about to leave, Zhu Xu slapped his fan on his shoulder, looked at the front, and said, "There are a lot of land in Europe, and the islands want to sell or buy them, tell that Wu Kewei, right? Let him do it, buy it no matter whether it is useful or not now. The silver can be dug from the ground, but the territory cannot be dug..."
Xue Zhengqing became more and more awe-inspiring and said, "Yes, I will go and pass the order."
Just as he was about to leave, Zhu Xu photographed him again and said, "There is an oil lamp behind him. Tell He Yunshan to buy a batch first, then invest in that person and expand production."
