"F*ck! This is...given to me?!"
Stroking the mirror with smooth surface and clear image, Xia Houxuan was a little at a loss! The state shown was the same as that of Lin Wan'er, Yuan Lanying and the others at that time, they were all stunned.
"Your husband also invented this mirror?!"
Looking at Xiao Yu who stood on tiptoes and stretched her neck to approach the mirror, Lin Wan'er felt very proud of her husband's ability.
"Senior, this mirror was invented by my husband on a whim on his way back to Dai County from Youzhou."
"Inventing the mirror on a whim?!"
Xia Houxuan almost spat out his old blood. What kind of monster is this young master of the Yang family!
We have been living in seclusion in the mountains and forests for decades, and only then have we improved a few formations and new weapons. He has only stayed in Youzhou for just one month and has made such amazing achievements!
This boy is truly a great talent. No matter what, he must be admitted to the Mohist family.
--------Dividing line--------
"Master, my uncle asked someone to bring something back from Yuzhou!"
Ergouzi, who smelled of sulfur all over his body, stupidly broke into Lin Bingyan's cabin with a small wooden box in his arms!
"Huh?! Elder Sun, why are you here?! Where is my uncle?"
After entering the wooden house, Elder Sun was the only one in the hall. Lin Bingyan was not seen, and Ergouzi became curious.
Since Yang Ming returned to Dai County, Ergouzi has been staying in the back mountain of Yangjiabao almost every day, developing the gunpowder Yang Ming mentioned.
There is a lot of construction work going on in Yangjiabao, and the number of refugees is still increasing. Ergouzi lives a fulfilling life there every day. Moreover, with Zhong Kai and Xiao Cui at the Yang Family Fort, Er Gouzi would be less likely to return to Baihu Village!
"Er Gouzi, you went to Yangjiabao to make elixirs again?! You still smell the sulfur all over your body. I'm sure the village master will have to say something to you when he comes back!"
Elder Sun covered his nose and signaled Er Gouzi to stay away from her. She was a little allergic to sulfur.
"I said Elder Sun, you are just a snake, and you are not a real snake. Why are you so afraid of sulfur?! Have you seen the small wooden box in my arms?! This is a new invention of our uncle. This thing is in Yang As soon as the castle was opened, everyone present was shocked!"
Ergouzi raised the wooden box and shook it in front of Elder Sun's eyes, as if the things inside were his own invention. He looked quite unworthy of a beating!
"Could it be that my uncle can still conjure copper coins?"
"Look at Baihu Village, the grain reserves have not reached the expected target. Xiaocui asks Liu Yun to come over every day to borrow grain. Most of the grain that my uncle left before has been borrowed. If this continues, Baihu Village will be overrun!"
Elder Sun is under great pressure!
How come everyone in Baihu Village has been brainwashed by Yang Ming? Even Liu Yun, an old sister, looked down and went to Baihu Village every day to borrow food. If you didn’t know, you would have thought she was from Yangjiabao!
Ergouzi scratched his head, his uncle's operation was indeed a bit fierce.
In less than half a month, Yangjiapu has rescued thousands of people, and the number of refugees is still increasing, with a steady stream of refugees coming from the north and the south, and they don’t know when they will end.
"Elder Sun, didn't my uncle still have two years of food left in Baihu Village before, and he just borrowed half a year's supply? How can you say that most of the food is such an exaggeration?!"
"Besides, our Baihu Village also has a banana forest, countless cages to catch fish, and crabs to catch. We can store food for several years!"
Elder Sun slapped Er Gouzi until he couldn't find his way to the north!
"You must be thinking about Yang Family Fort right now! When I left, my uncle did leave enough food for the village to feed the village for two years, but he also brought back a lot of people from Heimuzhai!"
"Currently, the grain stored in the warehouse is only enough to last for a year. Moreover, the fruits in the banana forest are out of season, there are fewer fish in the river, and the crabs are even missing! Please teach me how to make the white tiger The village will last for several years!"
Ergouzi is stupid! This seems to be true!
Now not only did Yangjiapu have more people, the population of Baihu Village also doubled. Before leaving, my uncle played a trick. The food given to Lin Bingyan was calculated based on the original population of Baihu Village.
"Elder Sun, do you think this is okay? My uncle said that we can also exchange for food through trade."
"Trading?! Even the bark of the trees has been eaten away by the refugees these days. There is no life anywhere in the mountains and forests. Where can you hunt animals, let alone buy and sell them in an unstable place like Youzhou."
"Elder Sun, don't be anxious! My uncle expected this and knew that if things continued like this, there would be insufficient food to supply the Yang Family Fort, so he had someone send a box of treasures..."
After being slapped, Ergouzi became much more honest and his tone of voice became much nicer.
"The leader of the village hasn't come back yet. Has the lady arrived in Dai County?! Why didn't your uncle send someone to deliver food, but brought the treasure instead?!"
Elder Sun was a little confused. The Yang family of Hongnong was also quite rich. They could just transport grain and supplies directly. Why did they have to go through the trouble of sending treasures to Youzhou to replace them.
"No, I heard from Xiaocui that my uncle killed many bandits along the way. Now he has occupied several mountain villages such as Wuhui Mountain and Shenshi Mountain. The team returning to Dai County has expanded to more than 700 people."
"My uncle did not get this box of treasures from the Yang family, but invented it himself in Yu County. It was mainly conceived by my uncle, Elder Yuan Lanying and Daniel were working on it, and some refugees were used to build it after five days!"
Er Gouzi felt a little aggrieved holding the wooden box. I originally wanted to share happiness, but I didn't know I would get a slap in the face. Now I can't be happy anymore.
"This kid left the mess behind and ran away. How majestic he is! He also imitated others and became a general, attacking the city and destroying the stronghold?! Has he forgotten the mission I gave him? It's been almost a month. !”
Lin Bingyan suddenly appeared in the wooden house at some point, startling Er Gouzi and Elder Sun!
"Woo~! Uncle Master, master of the village, can you please stop doing this! The Shenlong never sees its tail, I'm almost scared to death! If the baby breaks, I guess Xiaocui won't be able to spare me!"
Lin Bingyan's cold voice almost made Ergouzi so frightened that he couldn't hold the wooden box steady.
"Open it and take a look! You see this kid tinkering with something again, and you still dare to boast about it! This is Lan Ying, too. She's too old to do anything serious, and she's still messing around with these juniors!"
Elder Sun stretched out his slap to threaten Er Gouzi. In fact, she was also very curious, but the village leader was not here just now, so she was embarrassed to let Er Gouzi open the wooden box!
"Eh?! Mirror?! Glazed mirror?!"
"Wow! It blinded my eyes!"
Under the reflection of the strong light, the mirror made by Yang Ming illuminated even more, and the reflected strong light blinded Elder Sun's eyes.
The outer frame of the glazed mirror is inlaid with flowing sand gold, and a peony picture is engraved on the back. It has a high-end appearance and is the first time it has appeared in the world, so Yang Ming dared to sell it for ten copper coins.
"This baby is really good. How many did my son-in-law bring?!"
A delicate face came into view from the mirror. Lin Bingyan couldn't put it down for Yang Ming's new invention, but she was afraid that it would only bring a mirror.
Women love beauty no matter what age they are. If Yang Ming only sent a mirror, she would not be willing to use it to replace food. Even if she tightened her belt, she wanted to keep this mirror.
"Xiao Cui said that my uncle will send ten mirrors every month. The recommended price of each mirror is ten guan. From now on, the sales of mirrors in Youzhou will be handed over to Elder Sun. My uncle is responsible for forging the mirrors and providing after-sales service. , Uncle Master, you take 20% of the profit..."
Ergouzi became quieter and quieter as he spoke, and when it came to the last issue involving money, he couldn't continue talking, and quietly looked at the change in Lin Bingyan's face.
"I don't think the selling price of ten guan is okay. After all, this treasure is indeed rare, and there are many dignitaries in Youzhou. It is easy to sell ten mirrors every month. Is it your uncle who made the 20% profit? !”
"Uncle, Junior Sister also sent someone to deliver a message. The person who came also said that if Uncle likes this mirror, she will secretly have twenty more made and sent over every month."
Ergouzi imitated the appearance of the person who came to deliver the message and whispered.
When Lin Bingyan heard this, she felt warm in her heart. Who said raising a daughter is not good? This little cotton-padded jacket is quite satisfying. Even if she doesn't bring a mirror every month, it's okay if Lin Wan'er has this intention.
"That's all! 20% of the profit is 20% of the profit. We don't want to make it too difficult for Wan'er. After all, Wan'er has just arrived at the Yang Mansion. She can still think about Baihu Village and seek benefits for the village. "
"Besides, that boy Yang Ming wants to hire refugees to mine ore and produce forged mirrors. The labor costs will also cost a lot of money. The quality of this mirror lies here."
"Elder Sun, tell me how much food this mirror can replace if you get it to Youzhou?!"
Elder Sun on the side carefully studied the inside and outside of the mirror. He was so absorbed in touching the pattern on the back of the mirror that he didn't even hear Lin Bingyan's question.
"Elder Sun?!"
Elder Sun didn't say anything on the surface, but in his heart he was already extremely shocked by this god-like uncle. Lin Bingyan could only bring her back to reality again.
"Back to the village master, I promised to give us 20% of the profit. In fact, I didn't say that we can only sell ten copper coins. I think this kind of treasure can be sold for at least thirty copper coins here in Youzhou."
"As long as every time we sell a mirror, we will give my uncle a commission. As for how much money we can sell or how much food we can exchange for, it's none of my business!"
Elder Sun was confident that if such a treasure were brought to the wealthy families in Youzhou, he would not believe that they would keep it as a family heirloom. At least those noble ladies, they wish they had a different heirloom.
This mirror is not only for use, but also a status symbol. Elder Sun has already conceived the model of opening a store in Youzhou.
"Uncle Master, Elder Sun, Xiao Cui said that the technology is not mature yet. In time, he will make some three-foot-high glazed mirrors, and the price will be the same..."
Seeing that Lin Bingyan and Elder Sun had no objections, Ergouzi struck while the iron was hot and revealed Yang Ming's next plan. Why was he eager to go back and develop gunpowder? !
As long as gunpowder can be successfully developed, Yang Ming also promised him that not only would he not need any other betrothal gifts, he would also give him a mansion, a certain amount of money, and betroth Xiao Cui to him.
