When a new day comes, Lan Tianbao is very worried.
As the days passed by, the days left to stay in the capital became less and less, but there was no progress in what he wanted to do.
He thought about running away in the middle of the night and escaping to the hut, but unfortunately he was a rare scholar among the rebels and was named a military advisor. Therefore, these people were very concerned about his safety and were always protected. They did not leave him alone at all. opportunity to leave.
The only thing that can change the impression of the Duke in these people's minds at the moment is probably yesterday's "The Duke is righteous and the cement is easy to use"!
Therefore, as soon as Lan Tianbao got up, he asked everyone to go to the inn lobby to have dinner together and find out what news there was.
However, the strong man's interest was not high. On the way there, he said to him carefully: "I'm afraid the news from eldest brother will reach the capital in the next two days. It is estimated that by then, the capital will find out. It’s serious. Let’s take a look, military advisor, should we make some preparations to prevent us from being unable to leave?”
After hearing this, Lan Tianbao couldn't help but feel more anxious, but he didn't show it on the surface. He just said lightly: "Don't be anxious, I have my own sense of proportion!"
When the strong man heard this, he nodded in trust. Obviously, Lan Tianbao still has prestige in his mind.
When they arrived at the inn lobby, they ordered buns, steamed buns and the like as usual. They ate slowly while listening to the news from other tables.
However, the news they heard was still the same as yesterday, which made Lan Tianbao a little disappointed.
A breakfast, no matter how slow and leisurely it is, will eventually be finished. Seeing that the newspaper and steamed buns were finished, the strong man and others wiped their mouths and seemed to be leaving, when suddenly there were rapid footsteps outside.
When everyone heard the sound and looked around, they saw someone jumping into the inn. Before anyone could see clearly, a loud voice was already shouting: "Great news, great news for the world..."
As soon as they heard this, the people in the lobby were immediately refreshed and their stomachs were full. The next step was this spiritual pursuit!
Therefore, some impatient people quickly asked: "Is there a new issue of Ming Pao? Find someone literate to read it quickly. What kind of big news is it?"
"Let's read "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" first. I can't wait any longer. Who is that little beggar?"
"No, no, no, let's see if there are any weird stories first. I like this the best!"
"..."
Hearing their words, the messenger stretched out his hand and shook his hand and said: "It's okay. If "Ming Pao" doesn't publish a special issue, it will probably come out only the day after tomorrow!"
Upon hearing this, someone who knew him said dissatisfiedly: "Zhang Laoliu, what are you yelling about? You made me happy in vain!"
"That's right, if it weren't for Ming Pao, what other big news could there be!"
"..."
When Wu Laoliu heard this, not only was he not unhappy, but he showed a mysterious look and said: "Who will take a gamble with me? If what I tell you is not huge news, I will treat you to this meal. But if you admit that I This is huge news, how about you invite me?"
Upon hearing this, there must be big news.
Lan Tianbao couldn't help but feel something in his heart, and he said, "Shopkeeper, please treat this young man with good wine and good food, please charge it to my account!"
When Wu Laoliu heard the sound and took a look, he strode over and took a seat at the table next to Lan Tianbao in a comfortable manner. While waiting for the shopkeeper to serve the food, he smiled and said to Lan Tianbao: "Thank you, Mr. Master! I'll follow you." You tell me, I heard this news from the Yamen Dibao at the first time, so it is definitely big news."
Upon hearing this, the strong man couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and then he winked with his other companions.
Lan Tianbao understood what he meant. The news in the Di newspaper was a government newspaper, and most of the news published were national affairs. It can be inferred from this that the court was probably shocked by the news from over there.
Thinking of this, he still shook his head slightly, then looked at Wu Laoliu, smiled and asked: "I wonder what the big news is?"
"Is it something you would never expect to know about Duke Xingguo? Is it considered big news?" Wu Laoliu asked with great confidence.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the lobby immediately listened with their ears pricked up. Even the two people who were familiar with Wu Laoliu sat over.
It is true that Duke Xingguo’s current power is overwhelming, and his origin is still very mysterious. It must be big news related to him. As for whether it's big news, let's wait and see.
Under the expectation of everyone, Wu Laoliu asked in a mysterious manner: "Do you know who the Zhongyuan Wubai in Ming Pao is?"
"It can't be Duke Xingguo, right?" After hearing this, Lan Tianbao followed his words and guessed, but asked in disbelief.
There was a "pop" sound, but it was Wu Laoliu who slapped the table, startling the two acquaintances at the same table, but he himself didn't seem to know it. He just looked at Lan Tianbao and stretched out his thumb and said: "This young master Smart, exactly!”
"What?" Lan Tianbao just said that casually, but he didn't expect it to be true. For a moment, he was a little unbelievable.
If the Duke commented on those current affairs articles, he would still believe them. However, that Zhongyuan Wubai also serialized "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". These are two completely different styles of writing, and to write so well is not something ordinary people can do!
Lan Tianbao, who is a scholar and prides himself on being capable, has this realization.
Thinking of this, he wondered, in the days when he followed the Duke, he had never heard that the Duke had such talent!
But for ordinary people, they can't distinguish so many things.
For example, in later generations, whenever someone says they graduated in computer science, they will wonder why they can’t repair computers.
It’s the same in this era. In their view, whether you’re a literati or not, if you can write articles, that’s fine, there’s no difference!
Therefore, Wu Laoliu's two acquaintances quickly returned to normal after the initial surprise. Maybe it was because he was startled by Wu Laoliu just now. One of them said to Wu Laoliu with a little disdain: "What kind of big news is this? I think you are here to cheat me with food and drink!"
After hearing this, Wu Laoliu looked at him with very contemptuous eyes, and then asked with confidence: "Then if I say, yesterday it was not the glass that Kuai Ma reported that came out, in fact it was not the prince who discovered it, but Where is the glass-making method that Duke Xingguo presented to the court?"
Upon hearing this, the other table obviously belonged to businessmen and suddenly asked in shock: "What, is this really happening?"
Some people didn't understand what glass was, so they were a little confused by their shock. The businessman obviously understood, so he explained some to them, and finally said: "If you can really make glass, it will definitely be a mountain of gold and silver. You haven’t made a fortune yet! This...this...is it true that Duke Xingguo knew the firing method and then presented it to the court, with the prince supervising the firing?"
"Is that still false?" Wu Laoliu said in a pretentious manner after hearing this, "It was already mentioned in the newspaper, and this glass has more uses than what you mentioned!"
As he spoke, he described what he had heard before.
When Lan Tianbao heard this, he suddenly realized that there was such a thing when the prince went south. No wonder he even went to the Duke's house before and was very polite to him.
Thinking of this, he was overjoyed and said to the strong man quickly: "Look, the Duke is really righteous. Such an ancestral skill that can make a fortune is dedicated to the court! Who dares to say in the future that the Duke only knows how to do it?" Searching the house, nothing else?"
The strong man listened and nodded repeatedly.
To be honest, when he heard that Zhongyuan Wubai was the Duke, he already thought that the Duke was a good man. Now that he heard that the Duke had contributed such excellent skills to the court, his impression of Duke Xing had naturally changed.
But at this moment, the shocked businessman returned to normal, and said with a tone that didn't know what it meant: "This is just dedicated to the court, in exchange for the title of Duke, what's the point of being righteous?" Highly righteous?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Laoliu immediately became unhappy. He turned to look at the businessman and said coldly: "Are you from the south?"
Duke Xingguo's reputation is definitely good in the north, especially in the Gyeonggi area. As for that over there, it's probably hard to say. Therefore, he asked this question.
When the businessman heard this and saw many people in the room looking at him with hostility, he immediately knew that he was afraid of causing public anger. Although he was a little dissatisfied, he still did not dare to offend the public, so he lowered his head to eat and drink.
When Wu Laoliu saw it, he snorted coldly, then turned to look at Lan Tianbao and said, "This young master is right. The high righteousness of the Duke of the country cannot be looked up to by those businessmen who are looking for money."
Having said this, he added: "The Di newspaper also said that the Duke saw that the construction of the Great Wall by Governor Shanyong was very time-consuming and laborious, so he disclosed a method called cement firing. Yesterday's report , someone must have heard it, right? It was Governor Shanyong who tried the firing method according to the Duke's method..."
Upon hearing this, Lan Tianbao suddenly jumped in with surprise: "The country is righteous, cement is easy to use?"
"Exactly!" Wu Laoliu nodded after hearing this, "You may not know yet, what is the beauty of this cement..."
As he spoke, he explained the benefits of cement, especially when he said that cement would not become muddy in rainy weather and was also a very good material for building dams. The businessman's eyes widened immediately.
There is a lot of rain in the south. In ancient times, people suffered the most from rain. Not to mention businessmen, when it rains, it is many times more difficult to do business. However, if you have this cement...
While he was thinking about it, Wu Laoliu was already there and said with emotion: "For such a good thing, if it were me, it would be necessary to pass it on to sons or daughters. But he didn't expect that the Duke of the country would make the firing method public to the public. They say this is a good thing to improve people's livelihood, and it should be used by everyone in the world. They don't charge a penny, and they just throw away a treasure tray in vain. Oh, what a pity!"
At this moment, everyone can truly understand that the high righteousness of the country comes from this!
The people in the entire hall couldn't help but change their understanding of Duke Xingguo a lot.
At this moment, I saw that the businessman was shaking a little, and he asked hurriedly: "You mean, the cement firing method was all published in the Di newspaper, without reservation?"
"Hmph!" Wu Laoliu couldn't help but snort again when he heard his question, and then said disdainfully, "Do you think it's you? Who is the Duke of the country? How can he keep it since it is made public?"
As soon as he said this, the businessman walked away without saying a word.
Obviously, he definitely went to Di to report.
When the shopkeeper saw him leaving the store, he was equally disdainful, but he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly urged the waiter: "Hurry up, catch up, he hasn't paid his mother's money yet!"
Lan Tianbao didn't care about this matter. He glanced at his companions and noticed that his companions were very excited. He immediately knew that it was obvious that his companions had been shocked by these pieces of news.
No need to ask, there is absolutely nothing to say about Duke Xingguo’s impression in their minds!
Thinking like this, he couldn't help but get excited. It was time to reveal his identity and make contributions.
So, he winked and went back to his room to discuss the matter.
The strong man and others understood and returned to their rooms one after another.
"Ah, why did he leave? What will happen to my meal money?" It took a while for Wu Laoliu to come back to his senses. Looking at the table full of dishes, he couldn't help but say something.
