Liu Mingzhi handed the family letter in his hand to Liu Si and then walked into the main hall. ▲≥八▲≥八▲≥Read ▲≥Book,√≧o
As soon as they entered the door, the four people immediately stepped aside timidly and looked at Mr. Liu who was sitting comfortably on the main seat with fearful eyes.
Liu Mingzhi took a gentle sip of tea and stared at the four of them calmly: "I don't want to know your origins. You know what I want. As long as it meets my wishes, gold, silver, jewelry,
We have all kinds of porcelain and silk, and I will reward you as much as you want, but if you dare to do something wrong, you know my Lord's methods better than anyone else, and Lars will be your final fate."
"Yes, yes, we must not dare to hide anything and tell everything we know."
Liu Mingzhi clapped his hands, and Liu Song immediately took out the prepared chicken feather rice paper and other items and put them on the table.
Liu Mingzhi twirled a feather, looked at it and threw it back casually: "I know you are not used to using brushes, and you may not even know how to use brushes, but there are no goose feathers in the house, and the chicken feathers can be used for survival. As for how to do it, it depends on you."
Already."
Chuhe glanced at the things on the desk in surprise. He didn't know how Liu Mingzhi knew that they used quills to record things.
He didn't dare to hesitate. He picked up the knife on the table and divided it by three times. He then trimmed the chicken feathers in his hand into the shape of a quill. He dipped the ink into the rice paper and scratched it twice. He nodded gently to Young Master Liu.
: "Sir, it's ready."
Liu Mingzhi looked at the quill pen in Hoe He's hand and nodded lightly: "Get three more quill pens and give them to a few people in the afternoon. The four of you will each draw a sea chart. If the charts are different, there will be no consequences.
Did I say more? You know better than me."
Choe He swallowed his saliva and immediately got ready. After a while, the four of them lay down on a table with their backs to each other and began to draw. Liu Mingzhi was afraid that these guys would make some small moves in private, so he kept spinning and was no less strict.
As for the invigilator during the college entrance examination, if he dared to shake his head, he would be whipped without mercy.
You must know that the sea is no better than the land. There are various dangers in the sea that cannot be seen by the naked eye, such as reefs. A little negligence may result in the destruction of the ship and the death of people. There is no room for sloppiness.→Book≥
Drawing the chart was not that simple. It took about half an hour for the four of them to get up and leave the table, and sat aside obediently to wait for Mr. Liu's inspection.
Putting the four charts on a table, Liu Mingzhi concentrated on comparing the contents of the four charts, not daring to be careless at all.
Fortunately, the four of them may have been really frightened by Han Zhong's whip. Although the contents of the four sea charts were slightly different, the difference was not too big. Everyone's memory was limited, and Liu Mingzhi did not ask them to draw the sea.
The pictures are exactly the same, as long as they don't interfere with it, it's fine.
After checking for omissions and filling in the gaps, Liu Mingzhi held a small writing brush in his hand and gathered the contents of the four charts onto one picture and nodded with satisfaction.
The only flaw is that the names of countries, islands, routes and other names recorded on these charts are all in an incomprehensible font. It doesn't look like it if it is English, but it is similar if it isn't. Liu Mingzhi is completely confused.
Then Liu Mingzhi took out the world map he had prepared a few days ago and compared it with the sea map. It was only a rough map. He did not have the ability to draw a world map clearly.
I bent down again and carefully compared it. I found that the sea and land areas in the two maps were 70% or 80% similar. The slight difference was that the map of the Hoe He people was clearer. Compared with the general map of Liu Dashao, it was surprising.
See clearly.
"Hoe, come here."
Hoe He cautiously approached the table: "Sir."
Liu Mingzhi pointed to a strait with a gloomy expression: "This is obviously an extremely wide strait, but how come it is only so wide on your chart, like a small river ditch?"
The place Liu Dashao was referring to was the Strait of Malacca in later generations. Because he had traveled there before, he had a very clear impression of this place, which was very different from what was described on the Hoe Hai map.
"My lord, I absolutely did not lie. The appearance of the sea chart was completely drawn based on the places we walked. If it were a lie, how could all four of us look like this?"
Liu Mingzhi compared the four nautical charts again, and sure enough, the ones drawn by the four people on the Strait of Malacca were almost the same.
Liu Mingzhi couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was too cautious. There was a difference of thousands of years, so it was natural that there would be some differences: "Could it be that the plate drift proposed by Socrates has now started?"
Liu Mingzhi felt that he urgently needed a cigarette to calm down his mood.
Carefully rolled up the four charts and put them away and gave them to Liu Song for storage. Liu Mingzhi took out the gold coins found from the four people and threw them on the table: "Is this the currency of your country or do all Western countries use this kind of currency?"
coin?"
"This is just our country's gold coin. We can pay for anything in maritime trade. We can pay for gold, silver, jewelry, and all kinds of rare treasures. Most of the time, we exchange things for things."
"Where did you get those two lumps of dirt? Do you have such a thing in your country?"
Chuhe recalled: "It seems to be something exchanged with a small fleet here. We haven't had time to figure out what it is. Sir, you don't know. Anything can be exchanged on the sea. We have finished trading our goods."
I will sort out my acquired things after I return to China.”
I feel that what I am asking is almost the same. Boiling a frog in warm water is the most correct way. The secrets of these people must be revealed bit by bit. Doing it too hastily will only be counterproductive.
Liu Mingzhi sat on the chair and clapped his hands. Xiao Wu led four or five servants and carried in ten boxes of the same size five or six times and placed them in the hall.
Liu Mingzhi drank a cup of tea: "Chehe, I am very satisfied with your answer today. The first step of the cooperation was very successful. I mean what I said. As long as your answer satisfies me, gold, silver, jewelry,
There are all kinds of treasures including porcelain, silk and so on.”
With a confused look on his face, Young Master Liu pointed to the ten boxes on the ground: "Open them and take a look."
Choe He looked at Liu Mingzhi in fear and was at a loss, not daring to take action.
Young Master Liu chuckled: "If I want to kill you, why would I do these little tricks? Open up."
"Yes, yes, yes." He opened one of the boxes with a look of death, and suddenly a dazzling light spread out under the refraction of the sun. Inside the box were neatly stacked silver ingots, ten taels of silver.
One silver ingot fills a box.
A trace of greed flashed in the eyes of the four people who were working on the hoes: "Sir, what are you doing?"
"Open them all and take a look."
"Yes." Now Hoe He opened the remaining boxes without hesitation. Every time a box was opened, the four of Hoe He let out a loud cry.
Ten boxes, five boxes of silver ingots, one box of jewelry, two boxes of porcelain, and two boxes of silk were neatly and meticulously stacked.
Liu Mingzhi flicked the silver coin in his hand to Hoe He: "Compared to your little family, I am much more angry. I will ask you questions for ten days in a row. If you satisfy me on one day, you can do whatever you want."
If you are not satisfied, I will take back one of your boxes. Are you satisfied with this transaction?"
Chuhe looked at Young Master Liu in disbelief: "Sir, are these things given to us?"
"Of course, I keep my word. You can pick up a box and carry it to your room. No one dares to stop it."
The four of them no longer had the same anxiety as before. They all knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Thank you, sir, for the reward."
""
Liu Mingzhi, who originally thought they would choose silver, watched in surprise as the four people walked out of the hall carrying a box of porcelain.
Liu Song looked at his young master with a puzzled face: "Master, they have already surrendered, why do you still need to buy them with money?"
Mr. Liu put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at the setting sun quietly outside the window: "If you want the horse to run, you must give it good grass. Money and silk are so touching."
"But, all this money is"
"Okay, I'm just a petty person. Everyone is staying. Even if you give them a golden mountain, they will still be able to leave." 11
