Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 119 Is the Reed Leaf Gun a secret?

At noon, Zhao Zhen held a banquet to welcome Liu and Tang. During the banquet, Zhao Zhen introduced the newcomers Pei Xuan, Tang Long, Deng Fei, and Zhu Gui. After seeing the ceremony, everyone pushed them to sit down.

Ruan Xiaowu sighed: "We have only been out for half a month, and there are many good guys gathering together. The owner of the village does not know that now my Shuibo Liangshan is very famous outside the country, and there are people everywhere in the rivers and lakes who spread the reputation of the owner of the village. When I go back to Binzhou Salt Farm, Qiu Silang, You Dalang and others are much more polite to me."

Liu Tang said: "Exactly. Although I didn't buy Qiu Silang's salt this time, I sent more seafood than last time."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen also smiled and said: "It's all thanks to the efforts of all the brothers." He raised his glass and drank with everyone. At the banquet, Liu Tang said: "Master of the village, now the salt supervisor of You Dalang has indeed begun to collude with salt households to cook salt and sell it privately. Unfortunately, we only have two large ships going back and forth. If there were more, we would buy more." some."

Zhao Zhen heard this and said: "Haha, brothers Liu and Tang, don't be anxious. One of the brothers from Yinmachuan is not at the village. This man is called Meng Kang. He is known as Jade Flag pole in the rivers and lakes. He is good at building all kinds of large ships. Now we are supervising the construction of large ships in Shuizhai, the wood is all ready-made, and new ships will be available in March."

Everyone was overjoyed after hearing this.

After drinking for two more rounds, Zhao Zhen said, "Brother Liu Tang, are there any twists and turns in this business?"

Liu Tang said: "Master, everything is going well. As brother Ruan Xiaowu said, with the reputation of the owner now, who in the world would not take a look at me. This time I bought it from You Dalang in Diaokou Township. 1300 stones of table salt, and a lot of dried seafood in Diaokou Township. It cost 1400 stones, which is cheaper than what we agreed on last time. Qiu Silang also had many gifts for me."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said: "Don't stop at Qiu Silang. We need a lot now, and the price difference is not big."

Zhao Zhen took it and opened the box, only to see a piece of white silk at the bottom of the box, with thirty large and small pearls on it, pink, white, and light yellow, complementing each other.

Zhao Zhen nodded, turned to Jiao Ting and said, "Brother Jiao Ting, how was your trip?"

Zhao Zhen said: "Needless to say, I have never heard of this Bohai Pearl. Do you know?"

Zhao Zhen heard this and said: "What happened? You can buy salt at any time. The repair of the ship is a big deal. The Meng Kang brothers are repairing the ship well. Today they are all sent to the water village for repair. They will be sent together with the current ship. Check it carefully and see if it needs to be repaired or replaced."

Zhao Zhen also resigned from everyone and found Zhao Yuanli to personally go over the things he wanted to bring to the main world.

Zhao Yuanli said: "I asked Liu Tang, hero. These are pearls produced by snails in the Bohai Sea, also known as Bohai snail pearls. They are not found in the sea, but collected from Diaokou Township. The young man knew that the owner of the village was about to attack. I made jewelry and brought it here." As he said that, Zhao Yuanli took out the box of pearls from his sleeve and presented it to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Yuanli came forward and said: "Master, we have checked it and it is consistent with Liu Tang's account book. It is 1300 stones of refined salt, one basket each of dried sea cucumbers and dried abalone, five baskets of sweet sun-dried fish, and thirty Bohai pearls. The total cost is 1400 strings.”

Ruan Xiaoer listened on the side and said: "Master, there is a storm on the sea now, and the ships are also damaged. Should we send the ships to the water village for repairs first?"

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "Send it to Li's Office. We have to go back tomorrow. I'm afraid it won't be in time."

The next day, Zhao Zhen practiced martial arts with the heroes as usual. While taking a break, Zhao Zhen said to Liu Tang: "Brother Liu Tang, how about you take a few days' rest and take a few people to the Binzhou Salt Fields again?"

Ruan Xiaoer and Liu Tang both responded. After resting, everyone practiced for a while, and the weather got hotter. Then they went back to their rooms and changed their clothes, and went to enjoy the coolness under the willow tree.

Zhao Yuanli nodded, and Zhao Zhen said: "Before the end of the day tomorrow, prepare the things on the list." After that, Zhao Yuanli was allowed to go down, and Zhao Zhen also went back to his room to rest.

Liu Tang said: "Brothers, please make an agreement with Qiu Silang to buy a batch from him next time, so that neither party will be offended."

Jiao Ting said: "Master, I went here and saw some things about the world. The wind and waves on the sea are indeed extraordinary. I have traveled south and north, and I am also a bit watery. The wind and waves on the sea are really much stronger than those in the rivers." , it was a bumpy ride, and it was really uncomfortable for a few days. But I was lucky enough to eat the seafood delicacies Brother Ruan Xiaoqi mentioned. It was indeed much more delicious than the dry food I brought back, so it was not a wasted trip."

"Brother Liu Tang happened to be taking a rest at the village. He also picked a villager for training. It will be useful in the future."

Everyone laughed after hearing this. After drinking until night, everyone dispersed.

Twenty pairs of geese, ten carp with four beards, fifty taels of gold, one hundred taels of silver, three hundred coins, five carts of [Huajia Baijiu], and one hundred pieces of silk. These are all ready.

Zhao Zhen looked at them one by one and selected the best ones. The geese and fish were all bright and fat, and the gold, silver and copper coins were all rich. Zhao Zhen only asked to take out four pieces of silk and satin and replace them with The moiré pattern produced by the Zhiluo Department.

After lunch, Zhao Zhen took out the reed gun given by Gao Hu and looked at it. world log

[Reed Leaf Spear] (Level 3, modeled after Yang Yanzhao's spear, made of iron. The spear body is one foot and three feet long, and the spear head is as slender as a reed leaf. Made of fine steel quenched with silver, it can easily pierce hard armor. )

Properties: Sharpness +4, Solidity +2

[Willow Leaf Mianzhu Armor] (Fifth level, woven from 100-year-old Mianzhu twigs, with a texture like willow leaves. It will not sink in water and is invulnerable to swords and guns.)

Properties: Protection +7, Sturdiness +5; fear of fire.

Zhao Zhen looked at these two weapons carefully. The reed leaf spear was also used by the Song people, and the willow leaf bamboo armor was used by the generals of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. This is also the information that the main world added after exploring in the long world. Zhao Zhen naturally read [Chronicles of Dynasties in the Mistful Century] at school.

Only when Zhao Zhen saw this reed leaf gun did he realize that he had been careless after all. Through Chao Gai and Ruan Xiaoqi, anyone who was interested could naturally guess that he was in the Song Dynasty. After all, these two people are recorded in "The Legacy of Xuanhe of the Song Dynasty" and "Praise of Thirty People in Songjiang". Zhao Zhen kept this matter in mind and looked for an opportunity to test it out.

It has to be said that the Gaohu royal family is indeed worth a lot of money. He has been in business for a long time, captured on the battlefield, purchased in the market, and has more than a dozen advanced weapons and armors in his hands. The highest is only the third-level [Seven-star Gilt Wild Goose Feather Sword]. It's also the only one. Although Gao Hu only had two items in his hands, one was at level three, and the other was as high as level five.

This is also the highest level weapon and armor I have ever seen. He just has a fatal weakness, his fear of fire.

After looking at the two weapons and armor given by Gao Hu, and then looking at the three weapons he bought, the difference is clear at a glance.

world log

[Short-handled iron ax] (Short axe, first level, made of iron. Low-level blacksmiths occasionally get iron, mixed with steel, and made crudely.)

Properties: Sharp +1, Blunt +1, Solid +1.

[Baocarved bow painted with golden sparrow painting] (First level, eucalyptus wood is used as the bow body, large horns are paved, glued together, fixed with sinew glue, painted with gold and colored, and decorated with magpie shapes.)

Characteristic 1: A nine-shot bow with long bow length, recurve, and aiming +2.

Feature 2: Reach, range 80 steps, aiming +1.

[Three strands of bright silver holding the sky fork] (First level, made of fine iron, mixed with a large amount of heavenly silver sand, the silver is dazzling.)

Properties: Sharpness +2, Solidness +1.

After packing up all the other weapons and putting them on the weapon rack in the study, Zhao Zhen went to the front hall. At this time, Li Er was already waiting in the hall, bringing the jewelry he had made in the past few days to hand over. Li Er walked up to Zhao Zhen, took out a piece of white cloth from the box, spread it on the table, then took out five pairs of pearl earrings one by one, and said: "Master, these are the pearls sent yesterday. I selected five pairs that are large and beautiful." They are round and matchable, so I made these five pairs of pearl earrings. They were either punched or inlaid, so they were done in one night."

Zhao Zhen was overjoyed after hearing this. Just when he was about to praise Li Er, he saw Li Er reaching out to take out eight pairs of bracelets from the box, four gold and four silver. Just listen to Li Er said: "Because the owner is anxious, the villain took a clever trick and made these eight pairs of bracelets, [Plum Blossom Gold Bracelet with the word "Happiness" and "Open Silver Bracelet with the word "Fu"."

Zhao Zhen didn't say anything, looking at the box expectantly, wondering whether Li Er had prepared all the missing jewelry. Then Li Er closed the box and said, "Master, that's all I did. It's too late to get the hairpin."

Zhao Zhen said: "Brother Li, you have done a great job in such a short time. Your craftsmanship is indeed superb. Go down and rest for a few days before starting to make jewelry." Zhao Zhen rewarded Li Er with six golden melon seeds and asked Li Er to go down. .

There are eight hairpins and step shakes in total, and two are missing. There are exactly ten pairs of bracelets, but there are three more pairs of earrings. Zhao Zhen thought about it, picked out a pair of gourd-shaped gold earrings, and put two pairs of gold earrings for boys riding deer. He also took out three hairpins and put five gold and silver sachets on them.

It's just right to use a sachet instead of a hairpin. Pick out two of the three extra hairpins and three pairs of earrings and give them to Bai Zhi and Jin Cuilian.

The carpenter's workshop also brought six canopy beds, and Zhao Zhen returned to the main world with these things. As soon as he appeared in the hall, Zhao Zhen placed all the things he had brought with him one by one. Mother Li E heard the commotion and came back from the front. She saw many gold and silver jewelry, silk and silk in the hall.

He said to Zhao Zhen: "Erlang, are you ready?"

Zhao Zhen said: "Mother, there was a jewelry shop and a silk and satin shop in my fantasy world. The Baizi geese and the four-tailed carps are specialties, so I have prepared them accordingly."

Li E looked at them one by one, nodded from time to time, and said: "Erlang has made his mark, not bad, not bad."

Zhao Zhen took out a hairpin and a pair of earrings and said to Li E: "Mother, here is a [gold-plated copper with jade inlaid beads and begonia crane pattern head flower] and a [gourd-shaped gold earrings] for my mother and me." Er Niang, please choose one first."

Li E took it, picked out the flower for her head, and handed over the rest of the earrings to Li E. After Zhao Zhen talked to his mother, he went to the shop to say goodbye to Zhao Jin, and Li E took care of everything else.

Zhao Zhen spent 150 Wen and hired six taels of ox carts on the street to deliver all six canopy beds to the school. Then he rode back to Bailiu Village.

Tian Lei was pacing back and forth anxiously in the carpenter's workshop. It was already late today, and Baozheng Zhao Zhen had not returned yet. Today, he had to transport the beds to the school. There were still four beds missing, and the business Lu Sanlang introduced was only two short. A canopy bed can be delivered.

When Zhao Zhen came in, Tian Lei saw it and breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Has Baozheng brought enough beds for six?"

Zhao Zhen nodded and said to Tian Lei: "They have been sent to the school. They are all canopy beds. Now I will send 15 Arhat beds and 9 canopy beds. Just settle the bill."

Tian Lei calculates it, isn't it? This leaves just two canopy beds, which can also be used to complete Lu Sanlang's order. He immediately ordered the convoy to set off and went to the county town with all the items for delivery.
