"Do you think Cang Hou will come?" Yuan Shu said with some worry. Recently, he knew to what extent his character had been corrupted. He was really a bad person.
"I don't know. Although I had a lot of contacts with the Qu family when I was in Yizhou, and Cang Hou has a kinder personality, I really can't say for sure." Liu Zhang said hesitantly, although he made a lot of money pen, but it seems that his character has been completely ruined.
"What should we do? If there is no advance payment before the dragon and phoenix are delivered, I will be completely embarrassed." Yuan Shu was also a little bit embarrassed now.
I originally thought that it was just an ordinary black village. All the major families had given money to it, so they didn't care much. But it turned out to be like this. If it continues like this, Yuan Shu feels that it's hard for him to step down. What should he do? .
Saying hello and attracting thousands of people, and saying hello and attracting only a few people are two different things. People like Yuan Shu don't care much about many things, but Yuan Shu values the face very much.
On the east side of Yongzhou, Sun Ce arrogantly faced the wind and snow, rode a horse, and pulled a lot of seafood with Zhou Yu to Chang'an. After staying in Donglai, Qingzhou for a long time, and after confirming the exact time of the great dynasty meeting, Sun Ce took Zhou Yu on the way. Go to Chang'an.
Before leaving, Gan Ning sent a message to Gan Ning. After handing over the work to Wenpin, Li Yan, Tai Shici and others, Gan Ning flew back with Mi Fang.
"Bo Fu, I think you should think about it again." Zhou Yu sighed and persuaded Sun Ce again, "We can still turn around now, but when we cross the Weishui River, we won't be able to turn around. You are sure to give these thing?"
"Mr. Yuan is not short of things like gold, stone, and jade. If you bring them here, Mr. Yuan will throw them into the treasury without even looking at them, so I might as well bring some food to Mr. Yuan." Sun Ce said in a rather free and easy manner.
That's right? When Sun Ce went ashore this year, he didn't bring any pearls or tortoiseshells to Yuan Shu. Instead, he brought several carts of extremely precious aquatic products to Yuan Shu.
To put it simply, to spare future generations? To give away a few carts of rare treasures from all over the world would at most prove that you are a rich man? To give so many carts of seafood that Sun Ce had spent his own efforts to obtain could almost be a death sentence.
That's right? After Sun Ce thought hard for half a month and determined that he couldn't find a suitable gift for Yuan Shu, Sun Ce personally went to the sea to fish out a batch of super precious aquatic products.
What are the lobsters that are several meters long? King crabs that are several meters long, shells that are several meters long, and precious yellow croakers that are several meters long. In short, they were all caught by Sun Ce himself. In order to ensure that these guys came to Chang'an alive, Sun Ce spent a lot of money. A lot of energy.
In the end, he relied on the special ability of Face Emperor to get a new divine effect in Fuso. It was mainly used to preserve ingredients. Although it consumed a lot of money, Sun Ce still managed to take this batch of top-notch seafood from Qingzhou to Chang'an.
Zhou Yu had nothing to say about this? He always thought: At least give Yuan Shu something serious. You can't just give it to Yuan Shu because he doesn't care.
"It's what you want. With just one order, I can collect a few buckets of pearls in half a day. It's pointless to use them to deceive Mr. Yuan. Is this a gift? At least it's a bit sincere." Sun Ce said with a teasing expression. .
By the way, Sun Ce prepared several buckets of large, round pearls for Liu Tong, and they came in various colors. These were tributes from the local sea people to Sun Ce. Such things are very precious, but If you want to express your feelings, it would be better to use it to deceive the princess.
This is what Zhou Yu wants to face the most, and Sun Ce also plausibly said that the princess does not need affection. What the princess wants is small money, so just some solid and good goods will be enough.
"I think it's better for you to talk less." Zhou Yu didn't want to talk anymore. Da Qiao was very happy when Sun Ce came back, and she was even more happy when Sun Ce prepared many rare treasures from all over the world for her.
As a result, Sun Ce spilled the beans later, Da Qiao was obviously not so happy, and Sun Shao used the big pearl as a pinball.
"Tsk." Sun Ce smacked his lips twice, feeling that he had better stop talking nonsense.
"I think we should prepare some other gifts. Just escorting some seafood is really beneath our status." Zhou Yu said with some embarrassment.
"Don't think so much, Mr. Yuan doesn't care about this." Sun Ce patted Zhou Yu's shoulder heartily, "When I come to Chang'an, many people are going to visit me, and those who are far away will be given pearls, turtles, gems and so on. Yes, an acquaintance can give you a seafood."
If it were anyone else, Zhou Yu would definitely think it was contrary to what he said, but if it were Sun Ce, Zhou Yu knew that Sun Ce was not talking nonsense and that the other party would really do this. After all, pearls and gems are tributes to Sun Ce from others. , and Sun Ce caught the seafood himself.
In comparison, of course seafood is more expensive.
"Don't worry, don't worry. I'm not a fool." Sun Ce said with a smile. He didn't really know these things, but he didn't need to care about these things for real acquaintances. "Gongjin, I'm talking about you. , just like an old mother."
Zhou Yu took a deep breath after hearing this, continued to maintain a gentle smile, and just stared at Sun Ce. After a while, Sun Ce may have really realized his mistake, and then the two of them heard the laughter of their wives in the carriage. .
"Hey, I don't know why they are teasing us two." After Sun Ce came back, he also learned all kinds of dirty information about the palace. Sun Ce was angry at first, but after reading the basics, he said that he is still very masculine. , it’s all Ceyu, at least I won’t suffer.
At that time, Zhou Yu really wanted to blast Sun Ce's head to see if it was empty. Why did his brain disappear sometimes?
"Remember, we have something to do this time." Zhou Yu took a breath again, relying on the powerful strength of the internal energy to leave the body, suppressing his dissatisfaction with Sun Ce's retarded behavior. After all, after so many years, Zhou Yu has also I have long been accustomed to my adopted brother's intermittent convulsions.
To be precise, it would be strange for Sun Ce not to have convulsions as long as he, Zhou Yu, was around.
"Okay, okay, I understand, why don't we just confer a title? No problem, both Yuan and Kou passed easily. There is no problem on our side. I will make a seal then and have a good time." Sun Ce said something quite rebellious, but very morale-boosting.
In the Han Dynasty, only the seals used by the emperor, princes, kings, queens and queens could be called seals. However, in the Qin and Han Dynasties, they only recognized seals and ribbons but not people. Seals and seals were directly symbols of status.
What the emperor wears is called a seal, and what his ministers wear is called a seal. Without a seal, the king's words cannot reach the four seas; without a seal, the official's writings cannot be carried out where they belong.
At the level of princes and kings, he can barely be regarded as a seal. Sun Ce is a relatively exaggerated type. He is wild-minded on the one hand, and his focus on many issues is different from others.
"Bo Fu, can you please stop saying such things in Yongzhou and even the Central Plains." Zhou Yu put his hand on Sun Ce's shoulder and looked at Sun Ce with a very kind expression. Sun Ce was silent for a while and decided to admit his mistakes. He must admit when he is wrong. ah.
"Hey, Gongjin, you have changed. You were not like this before. You were high-spirited. As long as I wanted to do something, you would definitely help me. But now you have become like this." Sun Ce sighed with regret, while Zhou Yu was too lazy to pay attention. Sun Ce just let things go and didn't bother to worry about what Zhou Yu would give Yuan Shu next.
Driving slowly against the wind and snow, Sun Ce arrived in Chang'an two days later. Sun Ce had been to this place six years ago. How do you describe the changes now?
"Isn't this a big change?" Sun Ce was shocked. Although he felt that Chang'an City was very powerful back then, a little broken, and a little old, but the majesty and the weight of history are not a joke. As a result, Sun Ce was really stunned when he saw New Chang'an City.
When Sun Ce left, the construction of Chang'an City had just started, and he had no chance to see the whole picture. Although Sun Ce had a general understanding of it from Chen Xi's story, telling it orally and seeing it with his own eyes were two completely different things. The gap was so big that it was impossible to reason about it. .
"Is this Chang'an?" Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao poked their heads out of the carriage. They had also stayed in Chang'an and Luoyang before, but that was all when they were children, and the changes in Chang'an City are indeed too great. Big.
"Sister, is my brother-in-law a little excited? How about I give him a sage state?" Xiao Qiao held his head and looked at Chang'an City, then looked at the overly excited Sun Ce, and suggested to his sister, and then Da Qiao directly grabbed his sister's bun and looked at Xiao Qiao with a smile. Xiao Qiao instantly retracted into the frame.
"Are the two super-tall buildings inside the so-called Mingtang and the Holy Temple of Heaven?" Sun Ce was very emotional as he looked at the two huge and towering palaces in Chang'an City.
Even though the winter snow covered Chang'an, Sun Ce's eyes still saw the two super palaces that were wonders in the wind and snow.
"Yes, they are also called the Wanxiang Palace and the Tower of Babel." Zhou Yu nodded and said, "It took less than two years to build the two tallest palaces so far."
"Give me one too." Sun Ce said excitedly.
"Let's talk about this after we finish repairing the water conservancy facilities and reconstruct the water network structure." Zhou Yu actually also has the idea of performing a spectacle, but he can still distinguish the priorities. As for spending money without spending money, Zhou Yu is I don't care much. These days, every guy who goes abroad will be rich as long as he is alive.
Although this money may not necessarily be exchanged for resources, gold, stone, pearls and jade, these things can barely be regarded as hard currency, not counting population and material factors. Just speaking of this, everyone has money.
"Let's go into the city and see what's different about this new Chang'an City!" Sun Ce waved his hand and started walking into Chang'an City with more than a dozen four-wheeled carriages.
