426 Unknown age
The most difficult thing at this time is actually not how to realize the dream, but how to confirm whether a dream has real value. For the Chen family, their dreams no longer need to be confirmed whether they have real value. They have skipped this step. Their clan and heads are very clear that the Chen family has been a big family for more than two thousand years, but they missed the throne three times. This hatred has been passed down from generation to generation, lying dormant in the bones of every direct bloodline.
But now, there is a chance, a very great opportunity. The ancestor and the ancestor are not ordinary people. With their help, there is great potential for things. Moreover, the Liang Dynasty is in trouble with internal and external troubles. How could they not see it? After the incident, as long as they succeed, even if they cannot get the throne, they must be at least a national surname. If the clan leader is not good, they may still be the title of King Side by, just like the Liang Palace now.
After Chen Xiansong and Bai Qianxin returned to the west courtyard to rest, several leaders of the Chen family and two clan elders gathered to hold a parliament. This time they were in the house and discussed it until dawn. When it was dawn, the few people quietly dispersed.
Chen Xiansong woke up and had some breakfast in the front hall. At this time, he found that Chen Tianhe and Chen Tiancai were not there, but they were considered old men and clan elders. They could not get up occasionally, or had important things to do, and could not come to accompany them. Moreover, Chen Xiansong is not the kind of special person who thinks he is very noble and can't eat without anyone accompanying him, or is furious.
After breakfast, when Chen Xiansong was about to find someone, Chen Jialuo appeared at the right time. He stood in the front hall, clasped his fists and sat upwards, saluting the two incredible people, and then said, "Old ancestor, you two, you are early, I will serve you two in the future. If you need anything, I will report it, just look for me."
Chen Xiansong nodded and said, "Come and sit down, I just happened to have something to ask you."
As a talented person, Chen Jialuo is quite confident in his actions. He sat down in front of Chen Xiansong as he said, and then lowered his head. Bai Qianxin drank the last sip of white porridge aside. Then he smiled and said, "You don't seem to dare to look at me."
Chen Jialuo's head lowered: "The ancestor is so beautiful. I'm afraid that I will not be able to take my eyes off after seeing it. This is a great disrespect, please forgive me."
If other women heard this, they would definitely smile happily, but Bai Qianxin would not. Biochemical people are very loyal. Once they decide that someone is their lover, they will no longer fall in love with others. For them, the praise, praise, and admiration of others are plain like boiled water. Bai Qianxin may also respond politely to the other party. If it were Bai Min, she would not be too lazy to look at the flatterers.
"It's quite good at talking." Bai Qianxin nodded: "It looks quite clever. Xiao Caizi from Shuang used to be smarter. Well, you should follow Xiao Song during this period. If he has anything to ask, just answer honestly."
"Yes, ancestor."
At this time, Chen Xiansong took out the stack of paper from his body and placed it on the table. He tapped his finger on it, and then asked, "Chen Jialuo...I remember your name. I looked at the information you brought last night. According to the above, the largest source of input from the Liang Palace should be grain and tea, and it happened to be the shortcomings of our Chen family. So if we want to really make the Liang Palace decline and cut off their source of income, we must destroy these two businesses. I am a newcomer and not familiar with it. If it were you, how would you snipe the grain and tea business of the Liang Palace?"
Chen Jialuo suppressed the excitement in his heart. He thought for a while and asked, "It depends on how much gold yuan you can use, my ancestor?"
"Two hundred thousand, what do you think?" Chen Xiansong asked.
Chen Jialuo thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Twenty-hundred thousand is indeed a wealth that I can't imagine, but it is not enough to use it to deal with a behemoth like the Liang Palace. My ancestors, if they want to deal with a family with status like the Liang Palace, it is useless to have money alone, and they also need other help."
"I know, that's why I need you to help me." Chen Xiansong said naturally: "Besides, I don't plan to destroy the Liang Palace within one or two years. I plan to fight for a long time. In my vision, the first step is to develop our own granary and grain store of our Chen family, and at the same time find a way to bring all the city merchants in Heluo City to our hands. Chen Jialuo, what would you do if you are? Think carefully, write a plan, and then count how much money is needed, and how to hand it over to me in seven days."
Chen Jialuo stood up excitedly, bowed and said, "Respect the orders of the ancestors."
"But there is no hurry now." Chen Xiansong called Chen Jialuo, who was about to do things when he stopped, and then said to him: "Take me around the city, and then take me to various business stores in my home to see it. I must know clearly the types and distribution of family industries so that I can have a clear understanding of the heart."
"It's okay to take my grandfather with me." Chen Jialuo said with some embarrassment: "It's just that Heluo City is very large, and the various businesses are far away. Even if you ride a horse, it will take one day to finish watching all the businesses. And as your grandfather, you are not suitable for riding a horse, that's something that only martial artists can do."
The scholars of the Zhendan only know how to ride horses and never ride horses.
"It's okay." Chen Xiansong waved his hand: "You forgot how Sister Qianxin and I came here? After sitting on that thing, it was much faster than a horse, and it was more comfortable. Come with me and give me some guidance."
Chen Keluo's eyes lit up. The hovercraft had been parked in the backyard of the Chen family for two days. He had been to see it normally, but he had never approached it. Because Chen Tiancai had issued an order, he was extremely strict in guarding the thing, and even the tribe members could not get close to it within 20 meters. But this did not hinder the curiosity of the tribesmen. Every day, a group of people gathered outside the cordon and pointed at the hovercraft, and Chen Jialuo was one of them.
"Thank you for your kindness, my ancestor." Chen Jialuo quickly bowed again. He felt quite excited when he thought of riding on that magical ancient relics.
Chen Xiansong shook his head helplessly. He just took a means of transportation, so there is a saying that love is not a good person.
In the large backyard, Chen Xiansong had just arrived next to the hovercraft and found a group of people suddenly appeared around, including men, women, young and old. They watched Chen Xiansong and Bai Qianxin stand in front of the hovercraft, and then opened the door with a "eat" sound. This sound scared many people to take a step back, and then watched Chen Xiansong and Bai Qianxin walk into the hovercraft.
Chen Jialuo walked at the end. Before entering the door, he turned around and clasped his fists to the onlookers. His smile was as if he had won the top scorer. This made many tribesmen dissatisfied, and many people even sarcastically sarcastic. For many people, they also wanted to go up and sit and see how magical this flying ancient relics were.
After Chen Jialuo made some noise, he entered the hovercraft. Like other people entering the hovercraft, he was shocked at first, and then gradually came to his senses.
Bai Qianxin then started the hovercraft. The strange sound scared many members of the Chen family kneeled down. After all, in this era, most of the things that can fly must be linked to ghosts and gods. Although the people in the Zhendan Kingdom worship their ancestors the most, they are also quite respecting ghosts and gods.
The hovercraft rushed out of the main entrance and drove to the street, which naturally caused a lot of chaos. Chen Jialuo was also in the cab, after all, he was still responsible for guiding the way. The hovercraft quickly got down the avenue with his guidance, and then headed eastward, in less than ten minutes. He ran to the eastern suburbs of Heluo City.
There were obviously fewer pedestrians on the street. The hovercraft stopped in front of a bungalow with black gas. Chen Xiansong Bai Qianxin and Chen Jialuo got off the bus, and when he got off the bus, he saw a group of black charcoal heads. Each of them held a tool in his hand, such as an iron hammer, shovel, or wooden stick, looking at the hovercraft and Chen Xiansong with a look of horror. It was not until Chen Jialuo also appeared that they felt much more relaxed, but they still did not put down the weapons in their hands.
Moreover, further afield, two guards appeared, all wearing fish scale armor and riding war horses. The leader also held the "Chen" flag and rushed towards this place.
Chen Xiansong understood immediately. It must be that the hovercraft scared these people. It is normal to think about it. In this era, the largest steel shape is armor. Two meters high is the sky. This hovercraft is not only tall, but also has a very long body. A Garfield cat with two meters long can scare most people to have shit and urine. It is also a terrifying steel giant beast with a height of six meters, nearly ten meters long and three meters wide.
"Seventh Head, it turns out to be you." After seeing Chen Jialuo, the humanoid black charcoal at the front shouted angrily: "You come here to supervise the worker, why do you make such a big thing scary?" The black charcoal head was quite dissatisfied. His eyes were on Bai Qianxin for a while, then walked to the hovercraft, reached out to touch it, and then was shocked, and his black face almost turned white: "Fuck, this is O'Harry Steel, Qizhuo, where did you get this monster from? Sell this thing, we can buy the entire Heluo City."
"Shut up." Chen Jialuo said angrily: "Don't touch it randomly, it's bad to get this ancient relics dirty. Also, these two are the ancestors and the ancestors, let everyone come and pay their respects."
"No need." Chen Xiansong waved his hand, then said to the black charcoal head: "Are you the master here? Can you show me how you made a black iron?"
The old Chen family's iron tools are the most famous, so the guards are the most stringent. It is just that the hovercraft can do it, and the second is that it is extremely fast. Breaking through the Chen family's defense line is as simple as breaking through a blank paper.
This man was indeed a master. He wiped his face and looked at Chen Xiansong and Bai Qianxin in disbelief: "I heard yesterday that the ancestor of our Chen family has returned. I guess he should be an old man with a majestic appearance, but how come he looks like a pair of fairy couples, Seventh Chief, aren't you teasing me?"
"Who teased you, don't talk nonsense." Chen Jialuo was also a little anxious and shook the black carbon stone hard. After all, he was a master. He immediately understood that the person in front of him was true, and he was immediately surprised: "What are you, my ancestors and ancestors? I, Chen Daniu, kowtow to you now."
As he said that, he was about to kneel down, but he soon found that he could not escape because Bai Qianxin used elemental techniques to temporarily limit his movements. She knew very well that her Xiao Song did not like others to kneel down to him.
At this time, the two teams of guards rushed to the vicinity. When the leaders of the two teams saw Chen Xiansong and Bai Qianxin, they immediately retreated with their subordinates. They both attended the dust banquet and met Chen Xiansong and Bai Min. They remembered that they were dead. When they saw that it was not an enemy invasion, they immediately took their subordinates to the periphery for defense.
Afterwards, under the leadership of Chen Daniu, Chen Xiansong visited the blacksmith shop a little. Soon he walked out again. Such a place has never tasted very good. After staying for a long time, he felt a little dizzy.
"There is the most basic assembly line operation." Chen Xiansong walked around and came to the conclusion, but the iron method was still very primitive, using Shit and Fire. He turned his head and looked at Bai Qianxin: "It should be your idea."
Chen Daniu was stunned: "You are so powerful, my ancestor, how did you know that we can use urinary fire? This is the secret we don't tell you. Our iron tools are better than other people's, and that's why."
Bai Qianxin covered her mouth and chuckled, and her snow-white shoulders shrugged: "There is no way, their current level can't make a tiny agent at all. So we can only use the simplest way."
"Since you have taught them the fire, why don't you teach them the method of making steel in the country?" Chen Xiansong was a little surprised: "It's not very difficult."
Bai Qianxin looked innocent: "Every time I come to Zhendan Kingdom, I will only stay here for a few days at most. After completing the task, I have to rush to the next city or return to the temple. If I have time to teach them how to build a blast furnace."
Most of the weapons in the Zhendan Kingdom were iron weapons. Chen Xiansong guessed that as long as steel weapons were produced, there was no need for good quality. As long as thousands of people were equipped, most of them could walk sideways in this country. Thinking of this, it seemed that they would directly rebel, and then lift the Liang Dynasty and the Liang Palace from the high throne, and maybe they could achieve the goal they wanted faster.
Chen Jialuo was next to him and wrote down the word "Tianzhi Steelmaking". After all, he was a person who had read books and knew how rare steel weapons were. If a hundred kilograms of pig iron might not be able to make a kilogram of steel. If the Chen family had a way to produce a large amount of steel, then they had only two ways to go. One was to hand over the steelmaking method to the court. The other was... rebellion.
However, only a fool would hand over the steelmaking method. With the urinary nature of the royal family, maybe the front hand was handed over, and the back leg had not yet taken a step. The other party stabbed him in the back.
Chen Xiansong looked at it for a while and then lost interest. Then he returned to the hovercraft and asked Chen Jialuo to guide him. He went to other businesses and industries to observe. At about noon, the three of them drove the hovercraft back to the old Chen family. Chen Xiansong and Bai Qianxin were having lunch in the front hall. Chen Jialuo was not qualified to stay there, so he left the front hall and was about to go home to eat something, and then wait in front of the old ancestor.
But as soon as he left the front hall, a servant came over and whispered: "Seventh Chief, the Liang Palace has sent someone to wait outside for a while, saying that he has something to see you."
Oh, Prince Liang’s Mansion? Chen Jialuo thought about it and decided to go and take a look.
The sun was dazzling at noon. The servants of Prince Liang's Mansion hid in the shadow of the gate of the Old Chen family. He had been waiting here for more than an hour and finally waited until Chen Jialuo came back.
When he saw Chen Jialuo, he immediately walked up, first presented a golden invitation, and then said, "Seventh Chief, my master invites you, and also invites your scholar to visit Huanghelou. The time will be chosen by you, and he will be with you at any time."
Our old Chen family scholar, Chen Jialuo, was stunned for a moment and immediately figured it out. It turned out to be the ancestor. He asked, "Who is your master?"
"My master is Liulang, who is known to everyone in Heluo City." The servant in gray mahjong said proudly.
Liang Jialiang? Chen Jialuo snorted coldly, threw the invitation back to the servant, and scolded him, "He Liang Liulang wants to invite his ancestor to be a guest? He doesn't look at his seniority, and goes back to tell him that if he is sincere, he will let the Liang family come to invite him in person. He is a junior, and he can even speak without shame, not knowing his superiority, not knowing his elders, and not knowing his elders."
After saying that, Chen Jialuo left. The servant's face was blue for a while, then picked up the invitation that was thrown on the ground and returned to Prince Liang's mansion.
He bent over and told the story completely. Liang Liulang was practicing calligraphy in the study. After listening to it, he was so angry that he threw all the precious Huang Song inkstone to the ground.
"I don't know the age?" Liang Liulang gritted his teeth and shouted angrily: "He Chen Jialuo is at most a generation older than me. If he is half a year younger than me, he dares to say that I don't know the age? This damn guy, if I find an opportunity, I will have to mess with him."
The servant who delivered the letter continued to lower his head, and he slowly said, "Master, I think Chen Jialuo is not saying that he is an elder, but refers to another person. I remember he said the word "Old Ancestor". Is it here the key point?"
"Old ancestor?" Liang Liulang also remembered that the person he wanted to invite was the scholar in the sky blue clothes. Thinking of a possibility, he couldn't help but breathe a breath: "That person is the ancestor of the Chen family, which is unlikely. He is obviously about the same age as me... No, it is not easy. Even Grandpa Liang Shiyou doesn't have a person. Is he really the ancestor of the Chen family? If this is the case, then things will be a bit difficult."
