Chapter 430
When Wang Hua came to Nanshi, he could see many people gathered in front of Mo Haixuan's gate from afar.

He got off his horse, pushed aside the crowd, and walked in.Li Hong and Mu Zili stood angrily at the door of the store, Li Hong was holding two things in his hands, one was the jasper hunting picture pen holder carved by Xia Kai, and the other was a duan inkstone made by himself, the material was azure, or the best The sky is blue and blue, and what's more rare is that there are three big stone eyes and more than a dozen small stone eyes in the middle.When Wang Hua saw this stone, he couldn't bear it, so he did it himself.

Using the different distances and colors of the stone halos, the three big stone eyes are respectively carved into a round of the sun about to set and the reflection in the water. The wild flowers by the small river are engraved with a picture of mountains and rivers, and there is also a small poem engraved on it. After the new rain in the empty mountains, the weather is late in autumn.The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring stones flow upwards.The bamboo noise returns to Huannu, and the lotus moves off the fishing boat.Break free to Chun-fang, Sun-self to stay.

Poems, characters, pictures and stones complement each other.It's just that Wang's paintings are not for sale, and they will not be sold for any amount of money.In addition to these two items, there are several other items that have also been regarded as the treasure of the store.Of course, there are still some good materials, which are placed in Wang Hua's room, some of which have been made into finished products, and some are just raw materials, and Wang Hua hasn't done it yet.

But now that the jade tube is half broken, the sun and reflection on the inkstone are gone, leaving only half of the crooked moon.It used to be a priceless treasure, but now no one wants money.

He stretched his head to look inside the store again, the store was in a mess, almost all the shelves were knocked down, Bai Ting and his assistant were cleaning up, occasionally he could find one or two intact ones, and used them carefully Wipe off the dust with a rag and put it in the back warehouse.Looking from the back door, the warehouse has not been moved, and that is where all the stationery in Mo Haixuan is kept.

But after all, there are very few high-quality goods, otherwise Wang Hua would be reluctant to show some not-for-sale items.The warehouse is filled with ordinary goods.Wang Hua still can't get an accurate estimate, but he can also guess that the loss this time may reach half of the value of the goods in the store.

That is to say, during this short period of time, Li Longji destroyed his [-] to [-] coins.

He watched the crowd with his eyes.

He didn't need to find someone, he came out alone, Li Xian, Li Longji's elder brother, was the son of Empress Liu when Li Dan was the puppet emperor, and was later killed by Lao Wu together with Li Longji's mother, so he and Li Longji Brother Longji has a close relationship.

Although Li Xian came over, he felt uneasy in his heart.

Early in the morning, the third child dragged Xiao Jiu back from the outside, and then rushed out of the palace with his servants like crazy.The father pulled Xiao Jiu aside and asked, only to find out that Xiao Jiu, a silly girl, would stand outside the Tianjin Bridge and secretly look at Wang Hua every time she went to court in Wang Hua.

It is estimated that the third child was angry because of this and troubled the Wang family.

As soon as Li Dan heard this, he immediately asked Li Xian to lead his servants to arrest Li Longji, using the word catch.

Li Xian didn't know that Li Dan had other deeper thoughts, at least Wang Hua was a stunned young man who dared to break Wu Sansi's legs when he was favored, besides, the third child was just a son.

Don't dare to be negligent, it was already too late to chase after it, the Wang's shop was almost smashed, even the plaque was smashed down, there was a mess inside, and there were cries.Li Xian immediately dragged Li Longji out of his servants and escorted him back to the palace.Then wait for Wang Hua to arrive, otherwise Wang Hua might be able to rush to his house and try his best.

When he came to Wang's painting, his scalp was numb, not only this time the youngest smashed up the shop of Wang's family, but even the servants who were stopped by Wang's painter were injured.Wang Hua is famous for protecting his shortcomings, even if he is a servant.But the servants of the family are also upright, and never act recklessly, so when Wu Sansi and Wang Hua had the worst quarrel, they would not take their anger out on the servants of the Wang family.Besides, Wang Hua and his family, apart from the ambiguous relationship with Xiao Jiu, seem not to be rivals either.Wait for Wang Hua to get angry this time.

Li Xian took a deep breath and said: "Wang Shilang, what happened today is my third son's fault. I apologize to you. As for the losses of your house, make a list and we will compensate them all."

"Compensation? Da Shizi, do you know how much money was lost in this smash?"

Li Xian shook his head, but he felt very uneasy, how much money, I am afraid that even Wang Hua can't estimate it now.But he has also visited this shop. Of course, it has been open for nearly ten days. Almost all the people who study in Luoyang, almost everyone, have visited this shop.Not to mention the few pieces of utensils that do not have a price tag, there are also some utensils that are equally expensive, even the cheapest ones are not cheap, costing hundreds of pennies.The price of rice has risen to the current level, and a stone of rice is only five hundred Wen.Take writing brushes as an example. The ordinary writing brushes used by common people only cost two renminbi, and those worth more than 200 renminbi are considered good. However, the cheapest brushes in this store cost more than [-] renminbi, and any counter-offer is declined.How many utensils are displayed in this store, and how much was lost by the third child?
It's not a small amount of money, it's tens of thousands of dollars. Thinking of this, Li Xian's back is sweating.

And it may not be money that can solve the problem, and how will Wang Hua be liquidated when several employees are injured.

Fortunately, the third child was pulled back, otherwise the third leg might be lost here today.

Even if the matter of the injured man is not pursued, it is not up to him to make such a large amount of compensation.

When Li Xian was in a dilemma and didn't know how to answer, an eunuch galloped from a distance on a horse, came to the crowd, got off his horse, pushed aside the crowd and rushed over and said: "Wang Shilang, the emperor ordered that Wang Shilang Be sure to stay calm."

"Calm down, my lord servant," Wang Hua angrily called out "my lord", which shocked the eunuch. Now, "my lord" is called "my lord", but it's not for an official, but for my parents. He Dehe Can, dare to be Wang Hua's parents?Regardless of his reaction, Wang Hua said: "You think that the money and the food are changed. Don't forget, I still have 500 million shi of grain this year, and I have to turn it over to the treasury at the lowest price. Otherwise, the queen mother will still Why did I open this shop without entering the Qianling Mausoleum?"

When Wang Hua said this, the onlookers suddenly realized.

Li Xian's stomach is slandering, isn't this a big hat? How much is 500 million grains? Although the goods destroyed by the third child are worth a lot, compared with the 500 million grains, it seems that they are not even a small part, right?
But this hat is too big. Although I don't know where Wang Hua got the food, but even if it is robbed, workers, soldiers, ships, and weapons must be hired, and capital is required.In case Wang Hua fails to hand over 500 million shi of grain at that time, and he pushes the responsibility on Li Longji, then Li Longji will be more guilty.

Li Xian bit the bullet and said: "Wang Shilang, you don't say anything, and our palace will pay for all the losses."

"Eldest son, you don't need to pay. Tomorrow, I will take my servants and smash your palace. I will compensate you. Are you willing?"

If it were any other minister, Li Xian would definitely say, smash it if you have the guts, but he dared not say anything to Wang Hua.
This eunuch was also Li Xian who immediately asked him to stop the fight when he heard about it, but seeing the miserable state of the shop, he asked Wang Hua to put on the big hat and stand aside, but also dared not say a word.Moreover, he was really afraid that Wang Hua would take his servants to Li Dan's house and go all out.

But when Wang Hua said this, he changed the subject and said, "Eldest Prince, I know why the Third Prince smashed my shop. But I have always been forced to do this marriage. It just so happens that it is my compensation. But I don't want to show up a second time."

After finishing speaking, he got on his horse and went back to the household department to work.

Even Li Xian felt that he was looking at each other in blank dismay, but he didn't expect that Wang Hua would not pursue anything.He went back puzzled and told Li Dan what had happened.

After Li Dan heard this, he just asked back: "Do you think he really doesn't hold grudges? Do you really think he forgets it? You don't have to use a knife to kill someone."

Wang Huazhen didn't hold the grudge in his heart yet, and was angry at first.But if you smash it, you really want Li Dan to pay the money?And this time it wasn't money that was thrown, but also his face.

But that's it, if the matter is resolved, it's worth it, even if it was hit twice or three times, it's worth it if Li Dan and his son don't miss him.Guan Jian is not the same thing.It turned out that I had a bad impression of Li Dan, but this Li Longji has a good relationship with him, and he keeps talking about friends.

Coupled with the feeling that he owed Li Chiying, this made him hesitate when judging his relationship with Li Dan.But Li Longji's smashing represented a formal breakdown of his relationship with him.

Who is Li Longji, that is the true master of the future.Regardless of Li Longji, Li Dan and Princess Taiping will also be important people in power in the next few years.Li Dan and Princess Taiping have a bad impression of themselves, plus Li Longji.A few years later, will the Tang Dynasty still have a good life?

Do you really want to deal with Li Longji?
Although he was working, he kept thinking about this question in his mind.It is not difficult to deal with Wu Sansi, one is that he is not as talented as Li Dan and Princess Taiping, and the other is that he followed the general trend of history and promoted it in advance.But now if he deals with these three people by himself, it will be against the sky.

Besides, Li Dan and his son were overthrown, and he didn't want to cooperate with Wei Shi, so he really wanted to find a successor among Li Xian's remaining two sons?

And that's not all.Li Longji scratched his face, and there was no need for the two parties to cover up. Even if he didn't pursue the matter, Li Dan thought he was holding a grudge.If it is really innocent, it doesn't matter, Guan Jian himself has many affairs that cannot be brought to the table.Then under Li Dan's attention, it may cause serious consequences.

But after a while Li Baoer called over, Li Baoer asked very angrily, "Why did you let Li Longji go?"

It depends on the owner to beat the dog, besides, he and Wang Hua are already an unknown couple.Li Longji is too deceitful.

"Zuo'er, is my power comparable to that of the Cui family?"

"Why ask that?"

"Gu'er, although I have a little family property, name and status. But the Cui family's heritage for hundreds of years, there are still countless children in the court who are ministers and generals. No matter the individual, it is only about the strength of the family, about the power, about the power of the family. In terms of wealth and talents, I can compare to the Cui family. But what happened when you smashed their shop? You are the king, the royal family, and we are the subjects and the people."

"but."

"I know what you're talking about. Wu Sansi is different. He bears the copywriting. It's because His Majesty doesn't want to hold him accountable. Otherwise, he will be guilty of genocide. Therefore, I can break his leg. That's compliance." God's will and the will of the people. But think about Li Longji, why he was angry, not because of the little princess, I was wronged first. In addition, Xiang Wang lives in a simple way, at least there is no reason for me to catch him. What qualifications do I have, Because he smashed my shop, I beat him up violently. It’s not easy to beat me up. If you beat me up front, your father will also investigate me later in order to protect the dignity of the royal family. Even if you beg for mercy, it’s useless.”

"Okay, if you dare not go, I will go."

"Zuo'er, yes, just treat it as my debt to the little princess, and pay them back now." Wang Hua managed to persuade Li Bao'er to go on.

But before going back, Li Xian called over again, and Li Xian asked straight to the point: "Wang Qing, I heard that your family is short of money?"

It's not that Painter Wang has no money, so Guan Jian has to bring food back.Even Li Dan thought that Wang Hua's return of transporting food was a post.Others ship jade, spices, ivory, and pearls from overseas, but food is not a valuable item. How much is the shipping cost for such a long journey?
In fact, it cannot be counted in this way. Although the food is not expensive, it is heavy, and it can fill the ship with a dozen or so.Of course, if the grain is not from the king, then the price may be higher.Not only the food is produced by Wang Hua, but also the boats are Wang Hua’s own. The wood for shipbuilding is taken locally, and the iron nails and ship paint are produced overseas. There is almost nothing except labor wages, and even the boatmen are poor people. And slaves, some do not have wages, as long as they eat and drink.If it wasn't for the fear of suspicion, Wang Hua would have earned a lot of money by selling a large number of ships.Moreover, the size of the ships is only suitable for transporting heavy goods, such as grain and ore. Do you expect a ship of nearly [-] tons to come back full of gems?

But Wang Hua couldn't say it out, he replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry, if you encounter difficulties, I will definitely speak to Your Majesty, and you can't delay state affairs because of embarrassment. But if you can maintain it, I will not speak to Your Majesty. After all, this It's business, although I don't dislike business, but I'm a courtier, so doing business is not worth encouraging. If you ask His Majesty again, you may provoke criticism."

"That's good. Where is the emperor's brother so far, I will come in and persuade him."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Wang Hua replied, bowing and retreating.But the corners of his mouth were a little bit bitter, it was best for Li Gu'er to hear this sentence, did you see it?Li Longji smashed his own shop and caused huge losses to himself, Li Xian did not come to comfort himself, but went to persuade Li Dan, as if Li Dan had been wronged.

But he didn't want to argue either.

But Li Longji's attack did cause a lot of inconvenience to Wang Huashou.At least for the past two years, Wang Hua doesn't want too many accidents to happen, because his own development also needs a peaceful environment.Now with great difficulty, Wu Sansi's cancer has been removed, and Li Longji and his son have come out again.

After Wang Hua returned to the household department again, he quickly dealt with the affairs at hand and went back.But to discuss with Li Hong and Muzili, at least Muzili can no longer communicate with his subordinates like before.But he didn't expect Li Hong and Muzili to call him to the study as soon as he entered the house. Muzili said, "Erlang, here are three pieces of good news and two pieces of news. I don't know if it's good or not."

Wang Hua brought the letter over. If outsiders read it, they would not understand it. It was written in a code method that Wang Hua asked his servants to use, and it was a relatively secret code. For example, the sun is not called the sun, but Liuli.So even if someone checks on the road, no flaws can be seen.

The first letter was really good news. Li Chongjun went to sea safely, and almost all the relevant personnel involved that night were also safely transferred out of Datang.Or a few women around the Wang family.After Wang painted it, he burned it with a tongue of fire.

After the burning, Wang Hua's brows were beaming with joy, which had always been his worry.Finally, this heart disease is gone.

The second letter is even more good news, that is, a large amount of copper mines have been discovered in the Luzon Islands.He is not sure about this Wang Hua, just like Oceania, which is rich in mineral resources, but what he can remember is very limited.Another example is the Philippine Islands. He knows that there is copper. There are copper deposits in Zambales Province, Guatee Province, and New Bes Province in the Luzon Mountains, as well as North Surigao and North Zamboanga Provinces in Mindanao in the south. Cebu Island.This bag can almost cover the entire Philippines.

But with the manpower in Wang Hua's hands, it was impossible. Moreover, there were indigenous people in the area who could not communicate with each other, and the complex tropical rainforest terrain.

But this time, a large number of copper mines were discovered in Cebu Island, which reminded him of one thing. In addition to the best mangoes in the world, Cebu Island also has the Toledo Town Copper Mine, which was once the largest in Southeast Asia. The total amount of copper ore mined and detected reached 17 billion tons of copper ore.

And a small amount of gold ore was found here, which is associated with copper ore, but with the current technology, it is impossible to smelt all of them.And the amount mined each year is also limited.

But this is even better news.

But the third news was not as shocking as it was. In addition to a letter, the third news also contained some black powder.

Looking at these powders, Wang Hua's face was alternately worried and joyful. I don't know if the appearance of this thing is a good thing or a bad thing?
This is black powder. Wang Hua did not dare to experiment in the Tang Dynasty, so he asked Xiao Yaxuan and the others to experiment in Oceania.Wang Hua didn't even use it as a weapon, after all, it wasn't very powerful.Wang Hua's favorite is TNT, but even if he does it himself, he may not be able to do it.But it’s better than nothing, it’s used for building roads and blasting mountains, and for mining ores.

Didn't expect to find the right formula so quickly.Although the power is a little smaller, it is better than nothing.

Wang Hua carefully wrapped the powder in paper and put it in a drawer.

Opened the fourth letter, that is, Mu Zili said two pieces of news that I don't know whether it is good or bad.
