The back door of my house can last until the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 94: A Slave Spy?

"This matter is of great importance and must be reported to His Majesty within the shortest possible time.

It has something to do with my plan for the prosperity of the dynasty, so there can be no negligence! "

He hurriedly packed up all the information on the table, and then brought another piece of rice paper.

Holding a brush in hand, write all your opinions on it.

The main content is nothing more than: Sun Jie is very important to us, if Sun Jie can be recruited, entering the Central Plains will become a reality.

Thousands of words are eloquently written, and various arguments are used to prove that this method is very correct.

As the night got darker, he put the written letter in an envelope.

Then put it into a bamboo tube and seal the mouth with wax paint.

Find a follower, and give this thing to him.

As soon as the sun rose above the ground, his entourage took this thing all the way to Liaodong.

He wasn't idle either, he left Qinxiang Tower early and wandered around the streets outside Xi'an Mansion.

Unknowingly, I came to Honey Pavilion, the business inside was very good, so I walked in with curiosity.

When I came, I also brought a lot of money and went in to buy some icing.

Compared with the price in Liaodong, these frostings in Honey Pavilion are as cheap as Chinese cabbage.

"Shanxi merchants are all worthless, and the icing in Liaodong is more than twice as expensive as here! Damn it!"

Carrying a cloth bag, he walked out of the Honey Pavilion, looked at the frosting inside, and kept cursing.

He returned to his residence with these frostings, and then began to wander around the place where Qin Shang lived.

He didn't act rashly, and if he didn't have an accurate grasp of all the situations, he wouldn't expose himself if he could.

……

At this time, Sun Jie was in a field outside the city.

There is a well here, on which a hand pump was originally installed.

Although the structure of this water pump is simple, its disadvantages are also obvious.

The water output is very small, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to irrigate a large area of ​​farmland.

There is a large wooden box next to the water pump, and under the wooden box is a trailer for transfer.

The box is not very big, and it contains the steam engine water pump.

A few days ago, Sun Jie went to Hyundai and brought over the water pumps manufactured by the factory.

Because of advanced machine tools and mature technology.

Therefore, the volume of these steam engine water pumps is much smaller than that of the steam engine water pumps in history.

At the same time, the efficiency has also increased a lot, which is much better than the hand pump.

Wang Bi stood beside him, constantly guessing what was in the box.

People surrounded him, and they intentionally or unintentionally kept a distance from Sun Jie.

It's not that they are alienating on purpose, it's because they are too respectful.

I feel that if the distance is too close, I will be infected with the "rusticism" of people like myself.

Sun Jie pointed to the water pump in front of him and looked at Wang Bi, "Take off this water pump and replace it with a new one!"

Without saying a word, Wang Bi led the surrounding people to surround him.

The surrounding area of ​​the water pump has been reinforced with cement, but it cannot withstand the beating of more than a dozen ordinary people with hoes.

It didn't take much effort, and all the reinforced concrete surfaces were knocked off.

Sun Jie asked people to take apart the wooden box, and a dozen people carried the steam engine pump to the side of the well.

It's not a sophisticated thing, it's easy to use and easy to install.

In about a quarter of an hour, the water pump was replaced.

Some water was added to the boiler of the steam engine, and the coal brought was stuffed into the combustion chamber.

By the way, I stuffed some firelighters in, and after finishing all the preparations, I lit the firelighters.

The coals started to burn, and steam came out of the pressure relief valve on the boiler.

The water pump started to work, and after a while, clear water sprayed out from the pipe next to it.

The people around were shocked.

I thought the hand-pressed water outlet pump was powerful enough, but I didn't expect there to be a more powerful artifact than it.

"My mother is tired, what is this, why is it so powerful!"

"My God, this water can spray out by itself. With this, it can irrigate several acres of land in a day!"

Wang Bi was even more shocked, rubbing his eyes again and again.

A person came from a distance, holding a thick booklet in his hand.

It was not someone else, but Yang Lin who I had known for a long time.

Now he has taken refuge in Sun Jie.

The family affairs are all handed over to his biological brother.

It can't be compared with Sun Chuwen, he is Sun Jie's father-in-law after all.

Ordinary goods, Sun Jie may not be interested in them, it is better to come here directly, since there is nothing serious in the family anyway.

The ability is indeed not small, and after coming here, he entered the role, and together with Wang Bi, he was responsible for various affairs.

The booklet in his hand is the account book sent by Qin Shang recently.

Now that he has finished the calculation, come over to let Sun Jie have a look and sign it by the way.

Just when I came to the front, I saw the roaring steam engine water pump.

He kept rubbing his eyes, his face was full of incredible light.

"This... a fetish!"

Sighing again and again, he stood by.

Looking at the continuous gushing water, the sound of sucking air continued to sound.

"Tsk tsk tsk, amazing, amazing. I have never seen such a powerful thing. With this magical weapon, I am not afraid of running out of water!"

Tsk amazed.

Sun Jie saw him and the booklet under his elbow.

"Brother Yang, is there something wrong?" Sun Jie asked.

He didn't react for a while, and his eyes were still on the water pump in front of him.

Sun Jie yelled several times before he realized it.

Hastily coped with it, and walked in front of Sun Jie.

"This is the account book of our Qin merchants. The accounting has been completed. Please read it over, sir!"

Holding up the account book in his hand, his attitude became more and more respectful.

Sun Jie called him Brother Yang, that was a modest compliment, he had to understand the seriousness.

After receiving the account book, I took a rough look.

"Brother Yang, I can rest assured that this matter will be left as it is!" He closed the booklet, took the pen handed over by Yang Lin, signed his name, and returned it to Yang Lin.

Yang Lin took back the account book, looked at the water pump in front of him for a while, and then went back.

After Yang Lin left, Sun Jie led people to replace the other hand pumps with steam engine pumps.

This thing is easy to operate, and it takes only ten minutes to teach them how to use it.

After a busy day, I finally replaced all the water pumps.

It may seem like a trivial matter, but water is the source of life. Without water, agriculture cannot be carried out and the people cannot survive.

This is a matter of survival, and it has to be watched.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the smell of sweat is terrible.

Take a bath before going to bed in summer, not to mention how comfortable it is.

As the moon rose to a high altitude, Sun Jie changed his clothes and walked out of the bathroom.

There was the sound of horseshoes outside the city, and a bamboo basket was placed on the top of the city.

Just laying down, there was a knock on the door.

Chen Hu stood at the door, his voice hurried: "My lord, there is something urgent in Xi'an Mansion!"

The closed eyes suddenly opened, and Sun Jie got dressed.

"What's up?"

Sun Ling, who had already fallen asleep, looked at Sun Jie's back and asked.

Sun Jie turned his head and said softly, "You go to bed first, it's fine!"

"You still have to take care of your health, don't delay!"

Sun Ling persuaded.

Sun Jie nodded and walked out.

Holding a letter from Sun Chuwen in his hand, Chen Hu felt a little anxious.

"My lord, there seem to be more spies for Jiannu in the city of Xi'an!"

Sun Jie, who was still a little dazed at first, woke up instantly, and the drowsiness disappeared.

"Go to the study and talk!"

He took the letter from Chen Hu's hand and walked to the study.

Sitting in the study, turn on the solar lamp on the table, and read this letter seriously.

After Bao Chengxian sent the news to Liaodong, he focused on Sun Chuwen.

Recently, I have been wandering around Sun Chuwen's house, creating opportunities for chance encounters.

The hard work paid off, and he finally caught the opportunity.

He pretended to be a small businessman and came to Xi'an to buy icing or mirrors.

Such people are often encountered at present, so Sun Chuwen did not have too much doubt.

Bao Chengxian was from Shanxi, and his accent was similar to that of northern Shaanxi, which further dispelled Sun Chuwen's wariness.

Now there are quite a few Shanxi merchants who come to Xi'an to buy goods. Qin merchants don't care if they are Shanxi merchants or not, and they don't make money for nothing.

Selling it to them is also the original price, and there is still delivery to the chariots and horses.

However, the fox will always show his feet.

In the beginning, the man's goal was icing or a mirror.

But as he talked, something was wrong.

Attention came to Sun Chuwen and Sun Jie, feeling like they were looking for news.

Sometimes, they will compare Shanxi merchants with Qin merchants, and say that Qin merchants are better than Jin merchants.

At first, Sun Chuwen only thought that this man had a big mouth and liked to talk, but later, things became more and more weird.

That day Bao Chengxian came out of Sun Chuwen's house and went back to Qinxianglou.

But the jade pendant he carried with him fell into Sun Chuwen's home.

Without even thinking about it, Sun Chuwen asked the housekeeper to send the jade pendant.

The butler had just walked not far from Qinxiang Building when he saw him talking with a steward of the Jinshang Guild Hall at the entrance of Qinxiang Building.

In the Shanxi Merchants Guild Hall in the Xi'an Mansion, almost all the people in Qin and Shang knew the stewards.

After all, they are competitors.

Not long, that is, a quarter of an hour.

This immediately aroused Sun Chuwen's vigilance.

You know, Bao Chengxian kept saying that he was not familiar with Jin merchants.

The gap between the front and back was too large, which made Sun Chuwen suspicious.

If he stopped here, Sun Chuwen wouldn't think too much about it.

But Bao Chengxian has a mission after all, why would he give up?

Every once in a while, I find various reasons to come to the door.

It's hard not to be suspicious of this unusual frequency.

So, Sun Chuwen was tempted to inquire about the relationship between him and the Shanxi merchants.

Bao Chengxian kept his mouth shut, no matter what Sun Chuwen said, he didn't admit it.

But all the secrets were sparse, and at a banquet, they still showed their feet.

Bao Chengxian invited Sun Chuwen in Qinxianglou, saying that it was for future cooperation.

Sun Chuwen didn't refuse, so he took the people there.

A few words and a few words, let's talk.

Before I knew it, I drank too much.

If you drink too much alcohol, you will sweat.

Now it's summer again, and it's even hotter.

What Bao Chengxian wore on his head was a wig after all, and it was glued with glue to prevent it from being exposed.

Sweating and stuffy, the scalp is itchy.

Stretch out your hand to scratch, but the wig outside will block it, which is tantamount to scratching it.

Not only did it not work, it even became more and more uncomfortable.

I couldn't help but increase my strength, and the wig was slightly deformed.

The hairline between the foreheads was a little cracked, and the bluish scalp was all in Sun Chuwen's eyes.

There must be no hair on the top of the blue head.

Bao Chengxian is not a monk, he has no hair on his head, and he wears a wig, trying to cover it up...

After thinking about it for a while, I felt that Bao Chengxian had a strange background.

After all, the ancestor was a high official in the court, so he had some knowledge anyway.

Soon I thought of the Jiannu in Liaodong.

In fact, it is not difficult to guess that Shanxi merchants and Jiannu colluded, which is well known.

This Bao Chengxian knew the manager of the Shanxi Merchants Association, so he could naturally think of this.

I heard that the people over there are full of money rattails, with a big shaved head and a braid like a rat's tail.

But he was not very sure, so he tried to test it out.

He kept cursing Jian Nu, and kept saying bad things about Jian Nu.

They even forced Bao Chengxian to express his opinion in front of Bao Chengxian's entourage, forcing him to scold together.

Although Bao Chengxian also scolded, his unnatural expression and obviously changed tone made Sun Chuwen's doubts deepen.

Thinking of this, after finishing his meal hastily, Sun Chuwen left.

After returning home, I hurriedly wrote a letter and sent someone to deliver it in a hurry.

Sun Jie, who was sitting in the study, frowned as he looked at the letter in his hand.

"Jiannu's hands are stretched so long? Shouldn't they be concentrated in the Gyeonggi area? Why did they come to Shaanxi?"

Some people can't figure it out, and the discrepancy with history is too big.

In fact, when Sun Jie came to the end of Ming Dynasty, history had gone wrong.

The original history is for reference only.

After reading the letter again, I still couldn't figure out what Jiannu meant by this move.

Handing the letter to Chen Hu, he said, "Look at the contents here, and tell me your opinion!"

Chen Hu took the letter and read it seriously.

He was originally illiterate, but Sun Jie had a plan long ago, almost whenever he had time, he would personally teach Chen Hu and the three of them.

Later, when Wang Bi came, he handed over the matter to Wang Bi.

Chen Hu and the others studied very hard, and now they have mastered a lot of characters, and it is common for them to understand letters.

After a long time, Chen Hu put down the letter with a blank expression on his face, "My lord, the general doesn't know the purpose of becoming a slave.

Our place is not in Gyeonggi, no matter how powerful the slaves are, they will not be able to intervene.

There is nothing they want here, it doesn't make sense! "

"Yeah, this matter is really strange!"

Sun Jie stood up with a worried look on his face.

Not knowing the purpose of the enemy is the most disturbing mentality.

"Maybe this person is not Jiannu? It's just, a monk who has returned to the common life, or a scarred head?"

Chen Hu pondered.

"Impossible, monks who have returned to the vulgar will not try to hide it. The scar is a disease on the head, and there will be ringworm flakes on the head. It is unbearable to itch on the bare head, let alone wearing a wig. Besides, it is summer. Unless this is Zhang Conglong There is something wrong with their brains, otherwise it wouldn't be like this!"

Sun Jie's gaze was placed on the letter on the table again.

Zhang Conglong is Bao Chengxian's pseudonym.

"In that case, why not go there in person?" Sun Jie looked at Xi'an Mansion and made up his mind.
