Wang Jian's expression was a little weird, and he was a little funny in his heart.

This small box was obviously handmade by the young man in front of him. The outside is made of wooden box, and the inside is a strange object polished by bronze. There is a rough jade hanging on it. The craftsmanship is very simple.

Such a small object, not to mention exchanging tens of thousands of mu of fertile land, is worth a penny at most.

Even Sister Zheng couldn't help shaking her head. This young man is obviously a good-looking talent, but how can he speak so outrageously? It's actually some exaggerated boasting.

"A person's talent can actually be seen from his appearance. The magic of my thing has not been shown to you yet."

Bai Su confidently opened the box, and by folding it, revealed a small speaker inside, and said with a smile, "Please, Ms. Zhao, say a word to this place."

"say?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Sister Zheng's phoenix eyes, she was a little confused about what Bai Su was going to do.

Out of curiosity, she raised her black hair with her slender white hands, leaned down and approached the small speaker, and said with her red lips slightly parted: "A cup of bitter tea, the bright moon will testify, is that all right?"

"Okay, leave it to me next."

Bai Su gently turned the bronze rocker, looked at the jade piece that was scratched by the copper needle, and nodded.

After he put the jade piece away, he shook the bronze rocker, and a voice came out of the small wooden box: "A cup of bitter tea, the bright moon bears witness."

This... isn't this His Majesty's voice?

Why does His Majesty's voice come out from this small box?

Could it be that the young man in front of him is a fairy who descended to earth?

Wang Jian's expression was dull, and he looked at Bai Su in disbelief, completely unaware of how he did it.

Even the always calm Zheng Jie had a flash of surprise in her phoenix eyes, shocked by this astonishing scene.

Bai Su smiled mysteriously: "How about it, my gramophone that can record voices, how about it?"

Sister Zheng came back to her senses and nodded: "How did you do it?"

"Actually, the principle is very simple. The voice we speak on weekdays is actually made through the vibration of the throat. When you touch your face, you can clearly feel the vibration inside."

"Then the next step is simple. Just let the sharp pointer record the vibration track on the jade through vibration, and start from the beginning, put the pointer at the beginning of the pattern, and turn it to make a sound."

"like this……"

Bai Su adjusted the jade stone back to its original position, and then turned the rocker in his hand. Under the surprised eyes of Zheng Jie, the voice of Zheng Jie came out from the wooden horn: "A cup of bitter tea, the bright moon will bear witness."

"Hiss, this thing is so magical."

Wang Jian's eyes widened, and he couldn't help asking: "Do you still have this baby?"

Bai Su scratched his cheek with his index finger: "I'm quite busy outside the Great Wall, so I can only tinker with it in my spare time. Due to insufficient materials and poor conditions, I only made one at present."

His system can draw a lottery once a month, and most of the drawn skills are useless skills. This handmade phonograph box toy is also one of the skills he drew.

Although in the later generations, there is no market for this kind of rough handmade toys, and no one wants to give them away for free, but in this era of nobles and wealthy merchants, when have they seen such interesting toys?

With the gimmick of a phantom sound treasure box, I believe it should not be a problem to make money every day.

"You did this..."

Sister Zheng heard the meaning of Bai Su's words, and her phoenix eyes were filled with curiosity: "What is the cost of this thing?"

Bai Su smiled: "The main reason for this thing is that it's new in principle, difficult, and doesn't have high requirements for materials. It only needs a piece of jade, a hard copper needle, or wood, and the cost is no more than fifty cash. How much money can be sold?"

He has been staying outside the Great Wall since he crossed over, and he doesn't know much about the prices of the people in Daxia.

So he turned his attention to Lao Zhao, the "daughter" who lived in the local area all year round.

Sister Zheng thought for a while and then said: "Those nobles and wealthy merchants don't hesitate to spend a lot of money in order to compete for a piece of fine silk and satin or a piece of cinnabar. Even if you sell this magical treasure box for a thousand coins, there are many people." Crazy."

"The cost is only fifty renminbi, but it is worth [-] renminbi. No wonder you are confident that you can easily exchange [-] mu of fertile land. This is such a wonderful workmanship, which is very surprising."

"So, you want to do business locally, have you opened a shop?"

After all, Sister Zheng looked at Bai Su. A young man who can understand such a skillful technique is obviously not an ordinary person.

This made her feel a little curious about Bai Su.

However, Bai Su shook his head: "It's natural to do business, but we can't be too ostentatious."

Sister Zheng was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled: "Why?"

Bai Su looked around and saw no one outside, so he closed the courtyard door cautiously, and said in a low voice, "Since sister-in-law and Miss Zhao are not outsiders, then I'll just say it straight, the summer is coming to an end soon, what should I do for you?" Prepare for troubled times in the future.”

Chapter 3 Great Xia's enemies are not outside, but in Xianyang Palace

"Da... Da Xia is going to die?"

Wang Jian's expression was dull, and his heart suddenly slowed down a beat.

She almost missed the box in her hand and fell to the ground.

Even though she just saw Bai Su's look, looking around mysteriously and closing the door, she realized that this young man named Bai Su might have some secrets to tell.

But she never expected that Bai Su would say such bold words.

After the Great Xia swept the Six Kingdoms, none of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms wanted to restore their country one day, and cursed the Great Xia to perish.

But so far, in front of His Majesty, those remnants of the Six Kingdoms have only dared to curse a few words in their hearts.

Like a group of rats in the gutter, hiding in the shadow of the alley, they only dared to plan some assassination methods that could not be put on the table, and did not dare to confront them head-on.

Rumors circulated among the people that the one who died in summer was Hu Ye.

His Majesty also dispatched General Meng Dian to lead 30 cavalry northward to expel the Huns, build the Great Wall, and protect the frontiers of Great Xia.

No matter how you look at it now, the Great Xia is as stable as Mount Tai, and His Majesty personally held the Zen Conferring Ceremony on Mount Tai, intending to pass on the great Xia to the future generations.

But right now, Bai Su said seriously in front of His Majesty that the Great Xia would be over soon, how could this not make her feel frightened.

"Bai... Mr. Bai can eat food indiscriminately, but you can't talk about it indiscriminately."

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Wang Jian's forehead, and there was a hint of reluctance in his tone.

To be honest, she still has a good impression of Bai Su, a young man.

After all, Bai Su valued love and righteousness. For a letter, she came all the way to take care of her friend's widow. This kind of sincerity gave her a higher evaluation in her heart.

Moreover, Bai Su's ingenious craftsmanship surprised her.

This superb mechanical technique reminded her of the public losers among the schools of thought, the Mohists.

It's a pity that the public loser gradually declined after losing to the Mo family.

The Mohist advocates fighting against injustice, while the Xia Kingdom is for the unification of the world, and will use all means to win.

In particular, Bai Qi, the god of war back then, completely violated the Mohism's people-oriented philosophy, but they were completely unable to resist Xia Guo, a country of tigers and wolves, and they chose to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests in frustration.

All kinds of superb organ skills that once amazed the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period have been slowly lost.

This made Wang Jian, who has been in command of the army all year round, feel regretful in his heart.

But this young man named Bai Su in front of him doesn't look like a weak crown collar, but he has ingenious mechanical skills. This kid probably has something to do with the Mo family and the public loser.

It would be a pity if such scarce talents were to die because they offended His Majesty with their nonsense.

Compared with the turmoil in Wang Jian's heart, Sister Zheng's expression was as calm as ever.

She just looked at Bai Su with great interest, as if she wanted to see what other strange words this interesting boy would say.

"Now the Great Xia dominates the six countries, sweeping the eight wastelands, the army is as strong as the forest, the government is well-organized and the people are harmonious, it can be said that it is as stable as Mount Tai. Why is the Great Xia dying, and the troubled times are coming, son, don't make jokes."

Wang Jian sneered, wanting to try to rescue him again.

After all, for a famous general who leads the army all the year round, she has been greedy for Mo's and Gongluo's tricks for a long time.

"I'm not joking……"

Bai Su shook his head: "Right now, the Great Xia seems to be as stable as Mount Tai, but it is already precarious. It only takes one chance, and the seemingly huge Great Xia will fall apart in an instant."

Sister Zheng raised her slender willow eyebrows, and a strange color flashed in her calm phoenix eyes.

Wang Jian glanced cautiously at the sister Zheng next to her, and wiped the cold sweat off her forehead: "Bai... Mr. Bai, this is really a joke. Right now, the Great Xia dominates the world, and all six kingdoms are conquered. Chasing the Xiongnu, Daxia looks at the world, and there is no single enemy."

"Today's Majesty is more successful than the Three Emperors, and has surpassed the Five Emperors. Throughout the past and present, there are not many people who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the present Majesty. The Great Xia is so powerful, how can it be said that it is not far from disintegration?"

Bai Su said seriously: "Because the biggest enemy of the Xia Kingdom is not outside at all."

Wang Jian frowned, looking at Bai Su who was smiling, she suddenly had a bad premonition: "If you're not outside, where is it?"

Bai Su whispered: "In that Xianyang Palace."

As his voice fell, the whole room fell into a dead silence.

Wang Jian's pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked at Bai Su with a dull expression, already too shocked to speak.

"The biggest enemy is in Xianyang Palace, why do you say that?" Sister Zheng asked.

Bai Su pondered for a moment, then said: "The heirs Da Xia can choose are Fu Su and Hu Yan."

This is a fact, after all, the rest of them have no qualifications to compete with these two, and they have not even left their names in the history books.

Sister Zheng nodded and nodded lightly, signaling Bai Su to continue.

"Among them, Fusu advocated Confucian ideas, wanted to promote the enfeoffment system, and returned to the Western Zhou Dynasty's idea of ​​enfeoffing the princes of the world, which offended the current Majesty and was dispatched outside the Great Wall."

"As for the most favored Hu Yan, he has been extremely intelligent since he was a child. He studied under Li Si and respected the legal system. He is quite liked by His Majesty today."

Bai Su paused, and said with a smile: "But in my opinion, I am afraid that His Majesty today feels that neither of these two people is capable of shouldering important responsibilities."

A strange color flashed in Zheng Jie's phoenix eyes: "Why are you so sure that the current His Majesty doesn't like the two of them?"

Don't talk about Sister Zheng, even Wang Jian's heart trembled suddenly, and he glanced at Sister Zheng in disbelief, His Majesty actually looked down on Fu Su, and Hu Yan?

You know, these two imperial daughters are the two best imperial daughters selected from the Ying clan.

Today's His Majesty also attaches great importance to the two of them. After Fu Su was demoted to the outside of the Great Wall, many bureaucrats in the government and the opposition thought that Hu Tan might be the future heir of Daxia, and even she thought so in her heart.

But Bai Su in front of her said that the current His Majesty is not satisfied with these two people, how could she not be alarmed by eating such a big melon all of a sudden.

This is a melon that is enough to cause a big stir in the ruling and opposition parties in Daxia.

Bai Su rubbed his chin, thinking seriously: "Fusu's derogation is true. After all, the ancestors of the six generations of Great Xia have worked hard so far to unify the world."

"However, Fusu has to return to the Western Zhou Dynasty, when there were many kingdoms, and the results of Daxia's hard work so far have been wasted. How can the current Majesty not be angry?"

"But to put it down, there are a lot of wilderness and wilderness that can be exiled, so why send Fusu to the land outside the Great Wall?"

"Beyond the Great Wall, there is the great general Meng Dian, and there are 30 cavalry in the Great Xia. With the opportunity to approach such a powerful military power, it doesn't look like exile, but more like experience."

"Because I am very dissatisfied with Fusu, Fusu, who has not experienced much suffering from displacement, can witness with my own eyes that there is no unified order, a strong army, and continuous logistics in the rear."

"How powerless they are in the face of the Huns who are constantly harassing outside the Great Wall. I hope to take this opportunity to experience and let them slowly change their minds."

"However, Hu Yan seemed to be victorious and won the favor of the current majesty. He even invited the current prime minister Li Si to teach him personally, but the current majesty has never handed over the military and administrative power to Hu Tan. "

"Great Xia has now unified the world, but the current Majesty has not appointed a successor for a long time, which shows that neither of them is a qualified candidate for the current Majesty."

"There is a lack of qualified heirs, so the biggest enemy of Daxia is not outside, but in Xianyang Palace."

Bai Su took a deep breath, looking confident.

Chapter 4 This expansion seems to be different

Sister Zheng glanced at Bai Su, a trace of surprise flashed in her phoenix eyes.

She didn't expect Bai Su to be able to see his own thoughts so thoroughly.

"Now that the Great Xia is ruling the world, the remnants of the six kingdoms dare not act rashly. Although there is no successor, there are some hidden dangers."

"With a powerful ruler like His Majesty controlling the government and the public, there will be no waves in the world. You say that the Great Xia is about to fall apart, isn't it a bit unfounded to worry about?"

Sister Zheng slightly parted her red lips, and said with a faint smile.

She had thought about the issue of the heir a long time ago.

Fu Su, as the eldest daughter of the royal family, is too naive, she is fooled by the Confucian rhetoric, and advocates enfeoffment, which is contrary to her ideals.

As a young girl, Hu Yan was gifted and intelligent since she was a child, and she tried her best to please her. She specially visited Li Si as a teacher and followed Daxia's legal system.

But this is not the answer that Hu Yan got in his mind, but the answer he got from the people around him.

It can be seen from this that although Hu Yan is smart, his own vision is very mediocre. He just has some cleverness and does not have the great wisdom that he should have as a prince.

Judging from the current situation, neither of them is qualified to inherit the position of Prince Chu of Great Xia.
