Chapter 724 The Lord of the Huodu(2/3)
Qiao Yi sighed repeatedly: "Find a first-class weapon, just follow my orders, and not follow my two brothers. It is not easy to do this alone. How can you force it in combat power?
How can there be so many perfect things?"
Li Banfeng nodded: "What I said is that Brother Qiao also has many difficulties."
Qiao Yi sighed, "There are difficulties now, and I have to complain to the prince. Now my body has changed. Once others know the inside story, I, the chief minister of the cabinet, can no longer do it. All the promises to the prince are also
There is no way to fulfill it."
"Brother Qiao is right," Li Banfeng looked at Qiao Yi with a considerate smile. "So, if you become a man, try not to know about others. Once someone knows, you have to make the cabinet chief assistant.
If you can't sit in the seat, you must think about your funeral. At that time, don't be able to collect your body."
Qiao Yi looked helpless: "The terms set by Your Highness in the contract are completely rigorous. For Qiao, if Qiao strictly abide by the contract, this assistant would probably not be able to sit still."
Li Banfeng walked to the pond and touched the keel water wheel: "Brother Qiao, didn't you tell you just now? Don't be humble. All the contracts in this world have loopholes to exploit. If you don't take advantage of loopholes,
I will definitely not be able to sit in the position of the chief minister.
How to take advantage of loopholes depends on your ability and your courage. We are still long, and we will go back and forth.
Go slowly in the future,
But there is one thing you must remember: when you come to Prosou to do business, you must have the capital. Just laugh when you make a profit, and don’t cry when you lose money."
Qiao Yi sighed with a deep sigh, "This time, Qiao has compensated."
Li Banfeng lowered his eyes and looked at Qiao Yi: "Don't behave well if you get a cheap one. You should have died under the knife of your two brothers. Now, not only are you not dead, you have also left two burdens behind. Whatever you do in the future
You don’t have to watch others, you’re making a fortune, and you’re still saying you’re paying for it?”
Qiao Yi said: "The one who earned the most this time should be His Highness the Prince?"
Li Banfeng said: "You said it slower, I didn't hear it clearly."
Qiao Yi calmed down his tone: "Have you angry, Qiao means—"
"I didn't say anything about you," Li Banfeng stretched out his hand and signaled Qiao Yi not to speak, "Tell me a little slower."
Qiao Yi didn't understand, it seemed that there was no one else here.
Li Banfeng said: "Go to the outer room and take the buckets on the second row of shelves."
Qiao Yi proved: "Your Highness is talking to me?"
Li Banfeng frowned and said, "Is there anyone else here?"
Qiao Yi went to the outer room and got a wooden barrel back.
Li Banfeng asked Qiao Yi to put the wooden barrel at the outlet of the sink, and he stepped on the water truck himself and started fetching water.
Soon, the bucket was full, and Li Banfeng asked Qiao Yi to put the water into the water tank.
Qiao Yi had never done this rough work, and he had just changed from three-headed men to one man, shaking with a bucket of water.
Poured into the water tank.
Just as he was about to take a break, Li Banfeng called out, "Take the bucket back quickly."
Qiao Yi put the bucket back, Li Banfeng fed another bucket of water, and then let Qiao Yi pour it into the tank.
After repeated repetition, Qiao Yi's face turned blue with exhausted face. Li Banfeng nodded and said, "It's almost done."
Qiao Yi was puzzled: "What's the end?"
Li Banfeng got off the waterwheel and waited for a while, but saw the keel waterwheel clattering.
The water wheel turned into a body, the keel turned into an arms, the sink turned into a leg, and the pedal turned into two feet. The keeled water wheel stood up.
This is a first-class weapon!
But why did Li Qi use it?
The keel water wheel bent and bowed to Li Qi, waiting for Li Qi's orders.
Qiao Yi couldn't understand even more. This was the first-class weapon brought by Chaoge. Why did he listen to Li Qi?
"I did make a lot of money this time," Li Qi ordered the dragon bone water wheel, "Look at Lao Qiao!"
The waterwheel came near and looked down at Qiao Yi.
Qiao Yi dared not move around.
Li Banfeng left the carpenter's workshop and went to study with Nian Shang to learn how to control Tianyi City.
Tianyi City is indeed fast. In less than half a day, it was Xiaodu. Under Li Banfeng's control, Tianyi City opened its mouth and the three of them entered Xiaodu together.
Like Chaoge and Haocheng, Xiaocheng also has nine gates.
Li Banfeng asked Qiao Yi: "Is the special meaning of the Jiuchong Gate?"
Qiao Yi simply replied: "This is the ancestral system. All the capitals of Shang Kingdoms must be built according to the ancestral system."
This construction model is so complex that Li Banfeng thinks it is definitely not as simple as the ancestral system.
Before entering the city, Li Banfeng was worried that Qiao Yi would be recognized, so he used the mud from the pond to blacken Qiao Yi and Nian Shangyou's faces.
Nian Shangyou doesn’t care, he likes this feeling very much.
Qiao Yi suffered, and the fishy smell of the bottom mud made him feel sick.
But after entering the city, Li Banfeng found that he was worried too much.
Although Xiaocheng is an old capital, the city is not depressed.
There is an altar in Haocheng, which is the foundation of the etiquette and law of Shang.
Xiaocheng is located in a transportation hub and is the business foundation of the country.
In a city gate, there are factories.
In the second city gate, there are all craftsmen's workshops.
The layout of these two cities is basically the same as Chaoge.
After entering the triple city gate, the layout changed.
Chaoge Sanchong Gate, long-time restaurants, Xiaocheng Sanchong Gate, are lined up shops, clothes and cloths,
Furniture, gold and silver jewelry, ceramic calligraphy and paintings, gear windings, medicinal materials and supplements are sold.
There were people coming and going on the street, and no one noticed Qiao Yi and Nian Shangyou.
Li Banfeng was quite satisfied with the situation of Xiaocheng: "This is a bit like a city. I thought you left me an empty city."
Nian Shangyou smiled humbly and said, "Since there is an appointment first, my master will naturally not break his promise."
Qiao Yi gritted his teeth and said nothing.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to break his promise, it’s because this matter was made by Xie Gong and it was not arranged by Qiao Yi.
Xie Gong did not intend to let Li Qi come to Xiaodu alive, so naturally he did not intend to clear Xiaodu.
However, even if Qiao Yi did this, he would not be able to clear Xiao in the short term. This is the commercial center of the Shang Dynasty. The number of residents in the city exceeds that of Haocheng, slightly inferior to Chaoge. Where are so many residents?
So easy to send away.
However, Qiao Yi was not too worried. Xiaocheng had a high status in Shang Dynasty, and even if the court issued a clerk, Li Qi would find it difficult to gain a foothold in Xiaocheng.
It is still a good fortune to retreat when he sees the difficulties. If he is obsessed with it, Xiaocheng may become his burial place.
Li Banfeng walked along the way, and introduced Nian Shangyou along the way.
There are many guild halls in Sichun City, which are places to discuss big business. There are no goods in big business, especially coal.
For businesses like stone and wood, goods cannot be placed in the city, and the business is negotiated in the guild hall.
When we arrive at the fifth city, most of the people in the city are home to the scholars.
There are ministers living in the Sixth Clan City.
There are large and small official offices distributed in Qichong City and Yachong City. When it comes to Jiuchong City, it is the former site of the Imperial City.
Xiaocheng was once the capital, so there was naturally an imperial city, but no one lived in the imperial city forever, so only personnel were arranged to clean it regularly.
Li Banfeng asked: "Where is the lord of Xiaocheng living in? Is there no Marquis' Mansion here?"
Nian Shangyou shook his head and said, "Xiaocheng has no city lord, nor has it a prince, so it is directly under the jurisdiction of Chaoge."
In other words, Xiaocheng has never been enthroned.
"But you can't leave everything to Chaoge, right?"
Nian Shangyou said: "There are two nobles in the city, Yu Yunqiu and Ao Shuangqiu. The trivial matters will be led by these two nobles and officials to discuss and deal with more than 30 other nobles and officials."
Li Banfeng said: "Where are my three first-class weapons?"
Nian Shangyou said, "Everyone is in the imperial city, I will take Your Highness to inspect the goods."
"This matter is not urgent. How many scholars are there in the city of Kuang?"
Nian Shangyou roughly estimates: "Around ten thousand."
"Where are common people?"
