Chapter 17 Successful Transaction
Although Xiangzhou belongs to the Huang family, there is still a small family within the family. Now the Changfang concentrates all resources, and other rooms start to speak insults, and some even go to the ancestors and the great witch Zhu to complain.
"Miscellaneous Doctor, don't pay attention to those villains. If someone dares to make trouble, I will leave it to me." The great witch Zhu Huang Bo insisted on calling Zhou Shixiong a miracle doctor, and did not dare to present the elders' genealogy. He heard that someone was planning to cause trouble for Zhou Shixiong, so he immediately ran outside the city to accompany Zhou Shixiong, for fear that someone would anger Zhou Shixiong. If Zhou Shixiong was angry or asked Huang to punish those people, it would be fine, but he was afraid that he would give up his head or even leave in anger. Huang could not stand such a blow.
"Great Witch, you're here to stop, are there any people who dare to make trouble?" Zhou Shixiong's Elephant Team not only works for the Huang family but also for himself. When the Elephant Team operates normally, he can sit and collect money. With money and people, no matter what the chaos in the Ming Dynasty is like, he has the ability to protect himself. As for those who make trouble, if the Huang family can't handle him, he will have the accomplice of Elephant.
"Anyway, be careful, there is no big mistake." Huang Bo's maintenance of Zhou Shixiong was not that simple. He defined Zhou Shixiong as the envoy of the beast god, which was a person who could make Feng Xiangzhou prosperous. Even if the Xiang team didn't make much money, as long as Zhou Shixiong stayed in Ping Xiangzhou, any effort would be worth it.
After ten days of turmoil, in late July, Zhou Shixiong set out with fifty elephants. He transported fifty tons of iron ore at a time. For Pingxiangzhou, this was the first time to create the world. Even if the price doubled compared to the past, all these efforts were worth it.
This time, only Zhou Shixiong and his three brothers set out with Huang Shouyi and his Hundred-Man Guard. Huang Chengen was still in Xinning Prefecture, and the post station was quickly built under the joint efforts of several chieftains. As for what price Huang Chengen paid for everyone to accept this suggestion, it has little to do with Zhou Shixiong. As long as the Elephant Team can safely walk to Xinning Prefecture.
"Uncle Second, I want to learn your boxing skills." Huang Shouyi saw Zhou Shixiong guide the three brothers to practice boxing for two consecutive days. After getting on the road on the third day, he ran directly to Zhou Shixiong to make a request.
"We are considered relatives, so there is no problem to teach you, but there are conditions for learning this boxing. I wonder if you can do it." Zhou Shixiong's Five Elements Boxing is not a unique skill. Its main function is to exercise the coordination of the body and instant explosive power. Strictly speaking, this is a boxing technique suitable for the army, which is simple and effective.
"Uncle Second, do you have any questions to ask me for?" Huang Shouyi is not like Huang Shouren. He has a similar temper to Zhou Shixiong and does not like to talk around.
"The things passed down from family can only be taught by apprentices, and they cannot be passed on to others until I get my consent." Zhou Shixiong heard that the ancient master-apprentice system was very cool. Being a master could make his disciples filial to their whole life. Zhou Ersan brothers were all his servants, and they were originally his own, and they could not satisfy his evil taste. Now Huang Shouyi is here, and Zhou Shixiong doesn't want to let him go.
"This is natural. I will give the second uncle a ceremony to apprenticeship tonight." Huang Shouyi did what he said. He formally apprenticed to Zhou Shixiong when he was camping that night, becoming Zhou Shixiong's first disciple of a foreign surname. Zhou Shixiong was not stingy and put a hundred robots on him, but when he was released, Zhou Shixiong had a sudden inspiration and took more than an hour to pretend to complete the ceremony.
"The master uses vitality to help you cut off the tendons and marrow. Although the effect cannot be seen in a short period of time, you will know the benefits as long as you practice it." Huang Shouyi believed that Zhou Shixiong's behavior was true. Although Zhou Shixiong did not lie to him in theory, the nanorobots and chips that cut off the tendons and marrows were made of nanorobots and chips, which had nothing to do with Zhou Shixiong.
The robot on Zhou Si and Zhou Wu has long been taken back. According to the results calculated by the chip, it takes 35 days for humans to adjust genetics, 30 days for animals, and 33 days for elephants, and no one knows the rest for the time being. So many days are needed because the purpose of adjustment is to comprehensive optimization. If a single item or several items is adjusted, the time will be shorter.
For example, it can be done by increasing strength or speed and adjusting the upper body and lower limb muscles alone without going deep into the genetic level. The chip also popularized science to Zhou Shixiong. Genetic adjustment does not make people become superhuman, but removes various obstacles to the maximum extent. For example, the limit speed of humans is 9.2 seconds per 100 meters, but only a very small number of humans can achieve this. After genetic adjustment, as long as they are trained according to the athlete's method, it is possible to achieve at least and be very close to this number.
But if you only perform genetic adjustment but not exercise, then even if the speed is very fast, you can't compare it with professionals. In other words, if you want to reach that limit, you still need to exercise, and don't think about falling pies from the sky. For example, after genetic adjustment, the IQ of the three brothers has reached the limit of 200 for humans, but you don't read, learn, or think. These three excellent brains are no different from soy milk.
Zhou Shixiong did not know how to teach, but just used the cramming teaching he had experienced in the Celestial Dynasty to teach the three brothers. The three brothers had excellent brains and were very adapted to cramming education. After these two months of hard work, they had completed the recitation of classics, history, and collections of classics, history, and collections. As for writing, there is still a little troublesome, mainly because the environment does not allow it. Only when Zhou Shixiong stabilizes can he improve.
"Second brother, this is Lei Jingtian, the chieftain of Hengzhou, Brother Lei. This is my father's adopted son, my second brother Zhou Shixiong." Huang Chengen likes this way of introducing the book very much, which means that Zhou Shixiong is not an ordinary godson, and he also shows that he trusts this righteous brother very much.
Lei Jingtian is not young, and should be in his early sixties. He looks in a bad state with a hunched body. A strong man in his forties standing beside him is very mighty. Before Huang Chengen introduced, he took a step forward and bowed to his state. "Liao Zhen is here to handle this transaction with his father. I heard that Uncle Zhou has transported millions of kilograms of iron ore, but I don't know if it is accurate."
"Lei Zhen is Brother Lei's eldest son. He was originally responsible for staying in Hengzhou. I heard that the second brother brought a huge amount of goods, so I rushed over to see it myself." After Huang Cheng'en said this, Zhou Shixiong understood that Lei Zhen was the real master of Hengzhou, and Lei Jingtian had retreated to the second line.
"Lei Tusi, the goods will be handed over after the scale. You can find Shouren to these things, and I will just transport the goods." Zhou Shixiong was very rude to Lei Zhen, thinking to himself, although you are the actual ruler, your father has not really abdicated yet, can you be a little polite? He ignored one point, among the barbarians in Guangxi, whoever is in power is the boss, and the name given by the court is just a noun.
Seeing that Zhou Shixiong had an objection to Lei Zhen, Huang Chengen immediately came out to smooth things over and took everyone to the yard to see the unloading and weighing. Lei Zhen had seen dozens of elephants gathered together. You should know that the world-famous elephant taming guards are next door to Hengzhou. He had been familiar with the training of etiquette and elephants, but this time it still shocked Zhou Shixiong.
When we arrived at the cargo yard, we saw that every ten elephants lined up. When the people in the cargo yard unloaded the goods, the elephants would walk into the elephant railing to eat. There was no elephant slave to follow throughout the journey, and none of them were. "How is this possible!" This idea kept lingering in the hearts of the Lei family. You should know that the elephants trained in the elephant guards were used as guards of honor for the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. They were only dispatched once a year when worshiping the heaven and earth. Each elephant had at least three elephant slaves followed each time so that the elephants could be arranged in a neat manner.
"Young Master, your household registration." Although Liu Xiucai has lost weight, he is very energetic. This time, Liu Xiucai has made great contributions to being able to quickly build stations in various places. But in addition to being busy with the post station, he also has to go to Xuanhua City with Huang Shouren to help Zhou Shixiong get household registration. He has connections and has money. This only simplifies the procedures for handling the business. It is very difficult to choose a suitable household registration. It has to find a lot of information to determine which one is suitable.
"Tell me." Zhou Shixiong took a piece of paper handed over by Liu Xiucai. He didn't understand how much effort Liu Xiucai had put into it for this thin piece of paper. "A native of Zhouzhuang, Fucheng, Hejian Prefecture, Northern Zhili, was born in Zhou Zhiji, and was 43 of the third class in the 11th year of Wanli. He was granted the same Jinshi. He was the governor of Tongzhengsi. He was later sent to Juye County, Gunzhou Prefecture, Shandong Province. Because he refused to pay new words, he was demoted to Guangxi to serve as the governor of Xuanhua County, Nanning Prefecture. He gave birth to a son shortly after he took office. His son was three years old and his family suffered from the epidemic. His only son Zhou Shixiong entrusted him to Liu Wang to raise him. Now he recognizes his ancestors and returns to his hometown to continue cigarettes."
"Old Liu, are you safe?" Zhou Shixiong thought that Liu Xiucai would help him find a family in a remote mountain village, but he didn't expect that Liu Xiucai actually found a father with a Jinshi status. Will this be too much fun!
"This old slave Zhou Zhiji really knows him. He was the scholar who took the exam with Lao Nu, but the imperial examination was cut off after the whole family suffered. He passed the imperial examination and passed the imperial examination in a row. Lao Nu checked. The Zhou family has always been a poor family. Zhou Zhiji is the only one of the eldest sons. Now the Zhou family has only one young master left in the three generations. Even if there are some relatives from the sidelines in Zhouzhuang, there is no contact. The young master is very safe." Liu Xiucai racked his brains to help Zhou Shixiong settle into the identity of a son of a Jinshi. In addition to trying his best to improve Zhou Shixiong's background, he also made it easier for Zhou Shixiong to take the imperial examination.
Because candidates from all over the country must take the imperial examinations at their registered residence, the capital has the largest number of places for imperial examinations at all levels. Although there are many people participating, it is relatively easier than other places. If Zhou Shixiong's household registration is placed in the south, he will have to compete with hundreds of people for a scholar exam, which is too difficult.
The head of the Lei family and the Huang family worked for two days before completing the transaction. They all ate one million kilograms of iron ore at a price of 200 yuan per ten kilograms of iron ore. However, although Hengzhou took over the largest iron ore in history, it was impossible to pay the 20 million yuan of goods at a time.
It is said that if there is a gold mine in Hengzhou, it is better to have money, but now Hengzhou is busy spending more places to build military and military preparations, so how can we spend all our money for iron materials? However, in addition to the gold mines, Hengzhou also produces raw tea silk. Originally, rice is also a specialty of Hengzhou, but Hengzhou, which is about to enter a state of war, cannot sell grain.
Zhou Shixiong didn't ask how to deal with it in the end. He took men and women and five big girls for three hundred years to escort the Super Elephant Team, which had half the goods. Fatty Liang also followed the Elephant Team to Pingxiangzhou. According to him, he wanted to go to the Northern Dynasty of Vietnam and the North, and if the price was appropriate, he would buy a group of people back.
