Chapter 281 Why

When you're done talking, roll up your sleeves and fight.Wang Hua looked at it and shook his head. It seems that he is usually a master who often fights with others.

A few barbarians are also getting angry, since they are barbarians in business, they are not easy to provoke.

Although the road is long and it takes a long time to bring the goods of the Tang Dynasty to the Western Regions or even further away, and then bring the goods from far away to the Tang Dynasty, the profits may increase several times. times or dozens of times.But the money is not so easy to earn.It was better in the Tang Dynasty, but after the Tang Dynasty, or in the place where the Tang Dynasty ruled, in the vast desert Gobi, at any time, a group of robbers would be killed behind a sand dune or a rocky mountain.

Or if the things were stolen, find a government to file a lawsuit and report the crime?Where to report?If you are strong, you will be strong.Therefore, the groups are very large, and they themselves must be fierce.

So it's not easy to mess with, a barbarian slapped the table and said, "If you want to fight, okay, I'll accompany you."

He speaks even less standard Chinese, but he is very bulky and has a fleshy face.

Let's fight then. Xue Song was about to charge forward when he was grabbed by Wang Hua. Wang Hua untied the bow from his back and said, "Since everyone said that this bow is fake, you want to fight even more now. Okay, let's fight!" This bow is fully drawn, and I will accompany you. Otherwise, if you want to fight, you are not qualified yet."

As he spoke, he put the bow on their table, and the heavy arm of the bow fell on the table with a muffled sound.

Don't take it anymore, after hearing this voice, you can tell that it is definitely a real guy.But this barbarian still didn't believe in evil, so he pulled up his bow, but with all his strength, he only pulled it halfway.He put down the bow angrily and said, "I can't pull it, but you can!"

Wang Hua swept his eyes and saw that one of the barbarians was also carrying a bow and arrow, and there was also a quiver with more than a dozen arrows in a mess.He walked over, took out an arrow and put it on the bowstring.With luck, the Iron Arm Bow was fully drawn, and then the arrow was released.

There was a sound of strings, and there was another sound of "Zheng".The arrow has been shot, not on the wall.The powerful impact knocked down a piece of limestone, so you could see where the arrow went, and it shot into a blue brick, and half of it went in.

How much strength is needed for this, just imagine, nailing a nail on a brick, nailing it directly into the brick, nine times out of ten, because the strength is not enough, the nail not only fails to drive in, but bends instead.How much pressure is the nail.So later, the top ten talented scholars in Qingli described Li Guang's strength and wrote a poem, saying that the search for Baiyu in Pingming was no longer in the stone forest.They were all shot into the stone. It is estimated that Wang Hua does not have this ability now, or Lu Lun exaggerated.

Silent.

Wang Hua asked again: "Where are you from?"

"We are Tuchishi tribesmen."

"Okay, after you go back, tell your Khan that I really want to have the opportunity to visit your Tuqishi." Wang Hua was joking.Tuqishi is one of the ten surname tribes of West Turkic. After the Western Turkic was defeated by the Tang Dynasty, it was divided into two khans, but these two khans were quickly abandoned by the ten surnames. The Tuqishi tribe in the northwest of Suiye City began to grow stronger.With the rise of Mochuo, the Tang Dynasty was invaded in the south, and the ten surnames were invaded in the west. Under pressure from both sides, a very small number of the ten surnames were invaded by the Eastern Turks. riding facilities.

But Tuqishi felt the gap between himself and the Tang Dynasty, Eastern Turks, and Tubo. Although there were some small-scale wars with the Tang Dynasty, the magnitude was not large. Generally speaking, the relationship was relatively harmonious.Even if Wang Hua wanted to go, it was impossible for Lao Wu to let him casually initiate a war.

These Turks haven't reacted yet.But the Han people who came with him understood Wang Hua's identity, and they whispered a few words in Hu language in the ear of one of the Hu people.These barbarians were dumbfounded, it turned out that what they provoked was the Demon Star Champion.

The mighty Mo Chuan Da Khan was defeated by him several times, and he obediently withdrew from the Tang realm.It seems even worse to do it yourself.And why did he go to Tuqishi, it must be a blood camp, think about the deserted Monan.

The Turkic man suddenly ran to Wang Hua and said, "We are blind, I'm sorry, Champion. Our Dahan Uzhile is the sun of the west, and you are the sun of the east. The two suns cannot touch each other. "

As he spoke, he scratched his face, tore his ears, and beat his chest.

It's all messed up, what, the sun in the east, the sun in the west.

Wang Hua said again: "Is it because my arms are strong?"

"Of course, Champion Hou is just like General Xue back then. He won the three armies bravely and is invincible in the world. He is the number one hero in the world. The younger ones admire him very much."

"Wrong, I don't know about others, but I met a Taoist priest in Wen County, and his strength must be higher than mine," Wang Hua thought of that smelly Taoist priest. I'm afraid it's not the Taoist's opponent.However, it is not clear whether the Taoist priest has real power, or Taoism, spells, or qigong, or some dantian technique.

"No way," Xue Song asked in surprise.

"I never lied, he just tugged at my clothes and I couldn't even move."

The Turkic people were also dumbfounded, there are such fierce people?

"I just want to warn you. China is a huge country with countless capable people. If you dare to belittle anyone, you will end up in a bad end. Go to the bar." Wang Hua said and hung the bow on his back again.

Several Turkic people did not dare to say anything, and sat down carefully.

Wang Hua suddenly had an idea, he thought of the characteristics of Hu people.In terms of cruelty, neither the Yi people in the south nor the people in the Central Plains were as cruel as the Hu people.Just like a wolf.And don't expect them to keep their promises.But they have an advantage, advocating force.Why did the Turkic people kneel down when they saw Xue Rengui, and they were frightened.So this is the least problem for me. I believe that there are not many barbarians who are not afraid of themselves.

He thought of another group of Hu people, the nine surnames of Zhaowu, Kang, Shi, He, An, Shi, Cao, Mi, Luo, and He, that is, the Sogdians who migrated to the east. In order to resettle them, the Tang Dynasty started from Dunhuang, Gaochang , until Liangxia, Nanhetao to Daizhou.The largest resettlement site is in Liuhu Prefecture. In Nanhe, there are six prefectures of Lu, Li, Han, Sai, Yi, and Qi. Of course, there are Turkic people in Liuhu Prefecture, and they have even gradually been taken over by Tubo. Party members who are forced to go north.

Wang Hua passed through Liuhuzhou several times during the blood camp training.What would happen if these Hu people were pulled to the south of the Yangtze River, and then pulled from the south of the Yangtze River to sea ships to deal with the aborigines in Nanyang?For this group of monkeys, Wang Hua didn't have a good opinion of them.

However, these barbarians are very uncomfortable with the southern weather, which is also a problem.

Xue Song still asked unwillingly: "I said senior brother (the relationship is one step closer), is there really such a Taoist priest?"

"Really, is it necessary to lie about this?"

"Then why doesn't he serve in the army?"

"Everyone has their own aspirations," Wang Hua sighed at this point, just like his greatest hobby, like making some handicrafts, but things are not as good as his wish, so he has come to where he is today: "Let me ask you, if Given equal forces and conditions, if Guan Yu and Sun Bin fight, which one will have the upper hand?"

Xue Song replied without hesitation: "Of course it is Sun Bin."

Now that "Three Kingdoms" has not yet come out, Guan Yu has won and lost in battles all his life, and in the end one of them was defeated in Maicheng. Sun Bin only had two battles, but both of them are two battles that will last forever.Although the two are not in the same era, they are better than each other.

"Then how about two people fighting alone?"

There is no need to think about this again, Sun Bin even had Pang Juan cut off his legs, whoever he can beat, not to mention the fierce general Guan Erye, even an ordinary warrior is not an opponent.But Xue Song finally understood what Wang Hua meant, and he said, "I know, war requires not only courage, but also strategy."

Wang Hua was about to nod, when suddenly a faint fragrance came from his nose, he turned his head and saw the girl standing in front of him with a smile, saluted, and said in a gentle voice, "I will see the champion."

"Exemption."

"The servant has a small request, can the champion fulfill the wish of the servant?"

"any request?"

"Could you write a few words for our shop when you are the champion?"

inscription?This is not too high a requirement.But Wang Hua became suspicious. Li Hong asked her to be a personal maid in her home, what else would she want from this shop?Does she have other relatives?Wang Hua didn't answer, but pointed to the Hu chair in front of him and said, "Please sit down."

The girl sat down gracefully.To be honest, the girl is not beautiful, but her manner is beautiful, which reminds Wang Hua of another girl in Taiyuan.Wang Hua asked, "Are you that Mu Meili?"

"Could it be that Mrs. Li mentioned slaves in front of the champion marquis? No wonder the marquis came to Handian today."
"Are you very familiar with my Li Hong?"

"It turned out that when I was young, we had a relationship for a while. Later, the two families fell apart one after another, and the news was separated. It's just that after the servant girl arrived in Xijing, she happened to meet Miss Li. They had a few exchanges. It's just that the servant girl didn't have Miss Li. good luck."

After hearing her words, Wang Hua understood the whole story.Li Hong has not told the little girl in front of him that she is going to be a slave in his house.But during the conversation, she must have revealed that she was envious of Li Hong's fate today.So Li Hong came up with this idea, but he didn't dare to tell her before he got his word.

Wang Hua looked at her again, and the little girl made him blush, and said in a low voice, "This servant has admired Lord Hou for a long time. Last year, Lord Hou only tried the world, and this servant still sees Master Hou's demeanor every day. "

Whether it was true or not, Wang Hua didn't know. There were so many people at that time, and Wang Hua might have remembered it in everyone's mind.He interrupted her and said: "I used to have three maidservants, two were given to me by the emperor, and one was saved by me in Wen County. But now one has been married since childhood, Because of her age, I also married her to one of my generals."

The little girl listened quietly.What Wang Hua did was not surprising.Yang Jian messed up Chen Shubao's sister, Princess Lechang, and gave Yang Su a concubine. Later, Princess Zhuchang's husband, Xu Deyan, found Chang'an with a half mirror. After Su knew about it, he returned Lechang to Xu Deyan, leaving A good story of a broken mirror.Another story is also Yang Su's. Because of his admiration for Li Jing, he rewarded Li Jing with his beauty, Hong Fu Nu.As for the red-haired girl running at night, Wu Xuzi had it. If Yang Su didn't agree, even if the red-haired girl dared to run, Li Jing might not have dared to ask for it.

Besides, Wang Hua's nature is not bad, his official position is still far away from Yang Su's position, but his reputation among the people is no less than Yang Su's.

"Therefore, I am short of a personal maid. Li Hong occasionally talks about the behavior of the little lady, and wonders if the little lady is willing to come to my house to help me." This is a euphemism, Wang Hua can't directly say, would you like to come to my house to be a maid , after all, he is now a benefactor.But now that he is the Marquis, even a beloved man, it is not too much to invite her to be his personal maid.

The little girl stared wide-eyed at first, then nodded her head straight and said, "Yes, yes."

The gold brick was hit on the head. Although the little girl had a good manner, she was still at a loss when she heard the news.After finishing speaking, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Master Hou, please wait a moment."

He ran into the back room, and came out with a small bundle in a short while, stood in front of Wang's picture, and said, "I packed it up, when can I come to your house?"

Wang Hua looked at her, almost laughed, and asked, "Then what about your shop?"

The little girl called the two maids over and said, "This store will be handed over to you in the future."

It's settled in one sentence, what a rare opportunity this is, if the opportunity doesn't come again, let's be more agile.Wang Hua swallowed her saliva, as if recruiting this girl into the mansion, is it a good thing?

After finishing the wine, Xue Song mostly drank it. The three of them hired a carriage and went to the Blood Camp first, which was Xue Song's request.Sitting in the carriage, Wang Hua asked, "Miss Mu, why are you called this name?"

Remove the radicals of the first two characters and it happens to be Li.

The little girl returned to normal, and replied: "Nu's father was a doctor."

So that's the case, Wang Hua didn't ask any more questions.

When they arrived at the Blood Camp, some soldiers from Xijing were transferred in. This time the sensation was even bigger. The award outside the city was carried out in front of tens of thousands of people.Not to mention that the emperor personally paid homage, even the dead soldiers were also rewarded generously.It's worth it even to die.The news hadn't spread yet, and after a few days, there were soldiers in remote areas demanding to enter the blood camp.

But those who want to enter may not be so easy to advance. First of all, select strength, speed and some unit martial arts foundations, such as some fighting, archery, weightlifting, running, etc. If they do not meet the requirements, they will be eliminated immediately.This Wang Hua did not show up. Although Kong Heizi and others were about to be transferred away, there were still more than 300 soldiers in the blood camp to assist Wang Hua.

Then came the brutal training, step by step to eliminate.

Wang Hua said to Xue Song, "Go and get acquainted first."

Like to fight, there are many people who like to fight, and some people play with you.Wang Hua left him and went home.

No one is surprised that Wang Hua brought back another beautiful maid. After all, Wang Hua is no longer Wang Xiaoer from Qingshangou. Even if he brought back a hundred beautiful maids, no one would say that he was too much.

But being Wang Hua's personal maid is not what it is imagined on the outside, serving Wang Hua, or performing songs, dances and music for him, or even sleeping with him.That would be wrong.Because Wang Hua is not at home for a long time now, he must assist Wang Hua in managing the affairs of the new porcelain kiln.In fact, Li Hong is Wang Hua's maid in name, but inwardly she is Wang Hua's housekeeper.Now it is a porcelain kiln, and the sea-going ship is successfully trial-produced later, and there are more affairs.

Wang Hua threw Mu Zili to Li Hong, letting her understand and be familiar with what she was going to do in the future.Start hosting Blood Camp.

After the third day, when Wang Hua came to Li Xian's farm, no one thought of it, and thought that Wang Hua was traveling in the mountains and rivers.Large swaths of cotton were moved down the farm, and servants were pruning male branches.This was also ordered by Wang Hua, but the servants in the village had never done pruning for cotton, and they did not know about it after asking the nearby farmers.So I learned some experience from fruit farmers, but whether the pruned branches are right or wrong, only God knows.

But this problem is a small problem, and it only takes a year or two to master it.

Wang Hua walked into the farm, but the steward told him a piece of news: "General Wang, you are wrong."

"What's wrong?"

The steward took a piece of cloth and said, "The cotton cloth you are talking about has actually been around for a long time, but it is not called cotton cloth, but fine cloth."

Wang Hua was taken aback when he heard this. There was no cotton in the Central Plains. It seemed that some farmers began to plant it in the Southern Song Dynasty, and it became popular after the Yuan Dynasty.Why did the Tang Dynasty exist?

The steward then said: "This kind of cloth is produced in Lingnan and the Western Regions, but the quality of Gaochang is the best."

"Oh, what's its price?" Wang Hua always felt a little wrong when he heard it, so he asked.

The steward replied: "General Wang, let me explain to you the main fabrics and their approximate prices. The first is silk, and the price is about [-] yuan per foot. Of course, the price of high-quality silk is far more than this. Its material is silk. In addition to making cloth, damask can also be used to make fans, paper, and quilts. The second grade is fine cotton silk, which is more than forty wen. It is made of defective silk, so the surface is not smooth, but it is strong and durable. The third class is fine silk cloth, the price is comparable to that of fine cotton silk. Then there are secondary cotton silk and secondary silk, the price is about [-] yuan to [-] yuan. There is also 絁 (Shi) cloth, that is, coarse silk , generally around fifteen cash. There is also unadorned, which refers to silk fabrics that have no patterns and are only colored, such as unadorned purple and unadorned fei, which are slightly cheaper than coarse silk by one or two pennies. There is also lian, uncolored cooked silk There is also silk, which is about the same price as the refined silk, and it refers to fine and heavy silk. Then hemp cloth, that is, hemp cloth, is a little more refined. Then there is silk cloth, that is, fine linen cloth, which is not much different from hemp cloth. Then there is rough cloth, which is about ten yuan. Then there is Weizhou cloth, that is, Yizhou linen, which costs about eight yuan. There is also small water cloth, which is also a kind of coarse linen, and the price is about six yuan. There is also brocade , is the patterned silk fabric, the price of this cloth fluctuates the most, the good ones are worth gold, and the bad ones are only as good as unadorned."

For this knowledge, Wang Hua knows a lot, and he mainly listens to the price.He heard one thing. Although cotton cloth can’t keep up with good brocade silk, it is comparable to cotton silk, at least surpassing silk. This is unimaginable in later generations. Think about it, no matter how expensive cotton cloth is, it may be better than silk Even more expensive.

Wang Hua said to himself: "Then what is the problem? According to what you said, the average cloth per foot is more than [-] wen."

The steward nodded his head. This is calculated on the basis of each piece of loose cloth. Especially with the idea provided by Wang Hua, although the twisted cloth ingots cannot be called fine grain, at least it can be compared to the last time. been compared repeatedly.

Wang Hua said again: "But why hasn't it become popular? You must know that one mu of land can produce at least one hundred catties of pure cotton. How much cloth can this be woven?"

He was looking for the reason, and the steward was shocked when he heard that, how much cloth would be woven out of more than 100 catties of pure cotton?Five hundred feet?A thousand feet?two thousand feet?It's not as fast as grabbing money.

PS: In ancient times, the width of a foot of cloth was different, about four feet or more, and the cloth was also divided into thicknesses. In the Tang Dynasty, one foot was thirty centimeters, and two thousand feet was an exaggeration, but the lint cotton of one mu of field was woven into five hundred feet. Cloth should not be a problem.If this is not easy to compare, the price of rice in the Tang Dynasty now ranged from a few cents for a good harvest to two or three hundred cents during a disaster, but generally a bucket of rice cost more than ten yuan, and a bucket of rice was around twelve or three catties.That is to say, the normal wool harvest per acre is two to three hundred yuan. If the current cloth price is used, the gross income of cotton is more than 1 yuan, so the steward thinks that it is stealing money.Of course this is impossible, as will be discussed in the next chapter.Also, ask for a monthly pass.
