Chapter 648 Gift
"Ding dong... ding dong..." The doorbell of Shangguan's house rang.
Shangguan Yong raised his head numbly, then lowered his head to read the book again. Some of these books were borrowed from the library, some came from other places, and even some newspapers, periodicals, etc. from the countries around the Shang Kingdom are all useful publications.
"Hey..." Shangguan Yong sighed, the gap between the four 'brothers' back then is really huge now.
Let's not talk about Li Xian, this is a monster.
Needless to say, Yuan Zhao, now Yuan Shao's Jiuchongtian Group, known as the No. 2 Brilliant Star Group, is a technology group, and the stock price rises every day. Maybe its influence is not as good as Pengcheng Wanli Group and Zizhu Group for the time being, but it is already an important group.
Apart from Brilliant Star Group, Jiuzhongtian Group is the only group that can produce aero-engines in the Kingdom of Shang, although it is only propeller engines for the time being.
As for Zhang Quan, the latest news shows that this guy got a princess Qingcheng in Shouchun country and went to Ning country. The follow-up situation is not clear, it is too far away. But I think it should be good, a "Princess Qingcheng" is enough.
"Only myself..." Shangguan Yong sighed again. Because of the continuous mistakes at the beginning, it led to the current embarrassing situation.
As for the knock on the door and so on, Shangguan Yong didn't care at all. The person knocking on the door here should be someone delivering food or newspapers. There can't be any guests here.
But Shangguan Yong hadn't settled down yet, when he saw the butler open the door, and saw a group of well-dressed nobles suddenly coming in from outside. The first one signed up loudly: "Xiong Zhi, the prince of the Western Chu Kingdom, is here to pay a visit. Please forgive me for being presumptuous."
Shangguan Yong suddenly raised his head, he couldn't believe it, there was a real guest here? Not to mention that he is here, he is still a heavyweight, the prince of the Western Chu Kingdom!
The West Chu State, that is one of the big countries in the middle of Yingzhou, is much stronger than the Jin State a few years ago. What is the idea of the prince of such a country coming to visit in person?
Shangguan Yong was still in a daze, but Shangguan Yong's father, Shangguan Guang, walked out a few steps to meet him, "Welcome, welcome, honored guest, the swell is shining. Please come inside."
While walking inside, Shangguan Guang called out to Shangguan Yong who was next to him, "Boy, come quickly and pour tea."
Xiong Zhi, the crown prince of the Western Chu Kingdom met him, but he took the initiative to walk up to Shangguan Yong, "This is Shangguan Yong, right? I have heard of your name since I was in the Western Chu Kingdom."
Shangguan Yong opened his mouth, but was speechless for a while: I said, don't exaggerate too much, okay! Am I so famous? Or do you want Li Xian to kill me!
Maybe Li Xian doesn't know how to do it, but that Li Yuanming always makes people feel chills when he smiles.
Seeing this, Xiong Zhi was not in a hurry, and he bowed his hand to Shangguan bravely: "Xiong Zhi also has the dream of expanding the Western Chu Kingdom, but he has never been able to meet a real good talent. I heard Mr. Jiu's name for a long time, and Xiong Zhi begged Mr. Xiong to help the West." Chu State. Western Chu State is willing to treat you as a national teacher."
Shangguan Yong couldn't turn his head around. Is this situation really okay? Will it attract Li Xian's attention? We are still in Anyang City at the moment, Li Xian is really going to kill, and none of us can escape.
Even without Li Xian, it is absolutely possible for this guy Li Yuanming to kill first and play later, so as to avoid future troubles forever.
Not to mention Shangguan Yong, Shangguan Guang was also in a daze, this situation was too sudden. I heard that someone visited this place in the morning, and visited my house in the afternoon. Don't change things too quickly.
At this time, Wen Xiaowei took a step forward, "Uncle (Shangguan Guang), Brother Shangguan (Shangguan Yong), I know your worries, but I think you are worrying too much.
Youdao is clear to the onlookers. In my opinion, the virtuous king actually does not shy away from these things. Look at what happened to Zhang Quan, it was published in many newspapers in the Kingdom of Shang, and the authorities did not say anything.
Zhang Quan preached capitalism and so on everywhere, and the virtuous king seemed to be happy to see the success.
I think that the heart of the virtuous king is probably beyond our imagination. "
Shangguan Guang and Shangguan Yong heard the words, thought for a while, and suddenly realized. Yes, I was terrified. Thinking about it now, Li Xian's heart is indeed far beyond ordinary people.
If it was an ordinary king, all potential enemies would have been crushed to death one by one. How could it be possible to set up a special area without any supervision as it is now.
Since there is no supervision here, then Li Xian's hidden meaning is also obvious - find a way out by yourself.
Thinking of this, the father and son Shangguan Guang and Shangguan Yong suddenly realized, yes, they really scared themselves and were bound by their previous thoughts. Now looking back and thinking about Li Xian's hidden meaning, everything suddenly became clear: you guys, get out of here, don't stay in Shang Kingdom anymore.
Once the matter is figured out, the next step will be much easier. The two sides talked for a while, and Xiong Zhi was convinced by Shangguan Yong's thoughts.
During this period of dormancy, Shangguan Yong also completed a different kind of sublimation, thinking deeply about the strength of the Shang Kingdom. Compared with Zhang Quan, who has hardly suffered setbacks, after experiencing failure, escape, and a life of near-imprisonment, Shangguan has a more profound dream.
The strength of the Kingdom of Shang is not only technology, not only the system, but also "inheriting the past and ushering in the future, opening a new era". It is the era that created the Shang Kingdom, and it is also the Shang Kingdom that opened a new era.
This was Shangguan Yong's insight. After a few words, Shangguan Yong convinced Xiong Zhi and was almost astonished.
Immediately, Xiong Zhi handed over his prince's private seal to Shangguan Yong—from this moment on, Shangguan Yong was equivalent to having part of the rights and status of Prince Xiong Zhi.
Wen Xiaowei looked a little envious, but more happy - Shangguan Yongke was recommended by me.
Finally, Xiong Zhi asked Shangguan Yong, "Can the Wang family recruit?"
"I think you can go and see the Wang family, but don't recruit the Wang family. Because the Wang family... is a bit repetitive."
This is indeed a very pertinent statement.
…………
But above the sea, the Shang Kingdom's fleet heading south finally saw land.
Chang Lin said to Master Xuanfeng who had just returned to the boat and was still amazed: "Senior, Qingcheng is in front of you. This is the first large overseas territory of the Shang Kingdom. It is 40,000 kilometers away from the Shang Kingdom.
Although Qingcheng is called a 'city', it is five thousand miles wide; according to the standards of the Shang Kingdom, it is also two thousand five hundred kilometers.
The rivers here are criss-cross and the land is fertile. One year's grain output is enough to feed the people of the Shang Kingdom for three years. Recently, we have obtained more precious food seeds from Haozhou, and it will be even better in the future.
In addition, the person in charge of Qingcheng was Fu Minghui, the first overseas security governor of the Shang Kingdom. This person was once the commander of the Imperial Forest Army of the Great Xia Kingdom. He was outstanding both in character and in ability. After being invited many times by the virtuous king, he officially came out of the mountain. "
Immediately Master Xuanfeng became interested: "I'm really curious to be invited repeatedly by your virtuous king."
Master Xuanfeng was not joking. After seeing the Aircraft Carrier, Master Xuanfeng was almost astonished by the "Wise King". There is actually someone in this world who can manufacture such a huge and powerful machine and open up such a strange country as expected. At this time, Master Xuanfeng still had a laptop in his hands.
Because he was shocked by Li Xian, the real Xuanfeng was naturally interested in this Fu Minghui. What kind of person could make Li Xian invite him repeatedly?
The fleet began to slow down, and the land in the distance began to become clear; busy ships could already be seen on the sea, and even some huge merchant ships over 200 meters in length.
"It's developing so fast." Chang Lin looked at the world in front of him, and suddenly felt a backwardness. In just half a year, the place has already opened for business, and there are still almost 20,000 to 30,000 tons of large merchant ships haunting it.
Master Xuanfeng took a look through the binoculars, but he was surprised and said: "It's all food! Is there a shortage of food in the north?"
Chang Lin didn't use binoculars, but added a small spell to himself - Eagle Eye. After a closer look, it turned out that almost all the ships heading north were fully loaded with grain; open-air granaries were everywhere on the deck.
Seeing this situation, Chang Lin also frowned a little, "What's the matter? Even if it's autumn harvest, it doesn't have to be like this?"
Just as he was wondering, he saw several small, fast, and slender warships appearing in front of them. In front of the warships, there was a person standing proudly.
"It's Fu Minghui, who actually came to greet us in person." Chang Lin didn't say anything, but Xiao Zihou who was beside him cheered somewhat. After all, this is "Homecoming".
However, there is another aspect that makes Xiao Zihou happy - now we have also mastered a Dragon Tooth Empire.
But after a while, Fu Minghui had already come to the front. Far away, Fu Minghui shouted: "General Chang, and heroes, welcome home.
The virtuous king is already waiting for you, so I will not keep you.
In addition, I have prepared a small gift for friends who come from afar. Come on, send it up. "
A gift, Chang Lin is curious - what kind of gift can this be given to a master in the Dongxu period?
