121 [Departure]
After breakfast, Pei Yue said goodbye to Mr. Xi and led four young men, Deng Zai, Qi Min, Feng Yi and Gai Ju, to leave Green Willow Manor. The other young men continued to study with Mr. Xi under the leadership of Wang Yong.
Feng Yi and Gai Ju were the young men selected later, and performed very well in the night attack on Green Willow Manor led by Fang Rui. The former was tall and strong, carrying a big shield at the front and never faltered, while the latter had a good temperament.
Resolutely, he stabbed two bandits to death with a spear.
Pei Yue did not deliberately win over them, and of course he did not put on airs and treat them coldly. He just chatted with them normally.
The two of them were a little nervous at first, especially now that Pei Yue had come back from the mountains, covered with a layer of golden light amidst the praise of their fathers. It seemed that in a few years the young master would be able to sweep the world, defeat Western Wu and Southern Zhou in one fell swoop, and lay a solid foundation for the future.
Immortal merit. Compared with Deng Zai and others, they felt that they were latecomers, and they always held a breath in their hearts and wanted to show off in front of Pei Yue.
Now that they saw the real person and were specially selected by Pei Yue to accompany them, the two of them were naturally very nervous and hesitant to speak.
Fortunately, Pei Yue was proficient in management, and after talking and laughing a few times, he easily narrowed the distance between him and the two teenagers.
After finishing the gossip, Pei Yue said to everyone: "I brought you to Beijing today because I have something for you to do."
Deng Zai immediately said in a deep voice: "Please give me your instructions, young master!"
Qi Min opened his mouth, feeling very annoyed and glared at Deng Zai unkindly.
Good old Deng, you usually can't knock a fart with three sticks, but you are very clever every time like this.
Pei Yue naturally noticed the undercurrent among the teenagers, but did not say anything. He just continued to smile and said: "I want to make a living and earn some money to supplement the family. The four of you are brave and careful, and your brains are also flexible, so you are suitable."
Find out the news."
Qi Min was not in a daze this time, and asked with a smile: "What do you want to know, young master?"
Pei Yue took a look at the bleak scenery beside the road and said calmly: "Three things. The first is how ordinary people in Kyoto keep their homes warm in winter and how much it costs. The second is where is the nearest coal mountain near Kyoto and whether there is an owner.
.The third is to find a few skilled blacksmiths, and it would be best to invite them back to Green Willow Manor."
Deng Zai said without hesitation: "I'll do the first thing."
Pei Yue nodded approvingly, obviously this was the most troublesome thing in terms of difficulty.
Qi Min took the second thing down, and Feng Yi and Gai Ju took care of the rest.
None of the teenagers asked Pei Yue what he wanted to do, which made Master Pei, who had prepared a lot of excuses, feel helpless.
Many times the importance of praise is ignored by people. Without an excellent praise, how can you show your humor?
What Pei Yue wants to do is actually very simple. It is the briquettes that warmed too many people in a certain era in his previous life.
This thing is made from simple materials, easy to make, low in cost, and can be used in a large amount. It can be said to be an artifact for ordinary people to keep warm in the winter. In today's era, burning coal for heating is dangerous and troublesome, and the thick smoke can choke people to death. Burning charcoal also has similar problems.
As for that kind of fine charcoal, only wealthy people can afford it.
After traveling through time, Pei Yue thought up many money-making plans in his mind. The reason why he never took any action was simply because he did not have the power to protect his wealth. If he exposed it easily, he would probably be devoured cleanly. Before the bandits attacked that night, he
He once mentioned to Gu Fan and Qin Xian that the spices passed down from ancient prescriptions were actually a perfume he had studied, and he believed that the upper-class men and women of this era would flock to it.
Pei Yue did not give up this plan, but after experiencing everything in the mountains, he became more and more integrated into the world, so he wanted to do more useful things.
Winter is approaching, and even in Daliang and Kyoto, many people freeze to death every year.
The few words recorded in history books are often stained with blood and tears behind them.
Since Pei Yue knows how to use the knowledge and experience of his previous life to improve this era, he has no reason not to do it, not to mention that briquettes contain huge profits and can bring him considerable benefits.
He went to Beijing today, on the one hand to meet with Silent Cloud, and on the other hand, he wanted to hook up a big net and draw as many powerful people as possible to his side.
After entering the city, he agreed with the teenagers on a meeting place in the evening, and then Pei Yue went to Dongcheng alone.
He rode the pony and walked slowly, looking at the interior scene of this worldly majestic city.
Although he has been in this world for more than half a year, he has actually only seen the street scenes of Kyoto twice.
The first time was when he left Dingguo Mansion and went to Green Willow Village. Pei Yue remembered that it was raining that day, and Kyoto in the rain looked like a dormant beast. The second time was after the bandits attacked at night, and he went to Beijing early in the morning full of anger. At that time, my mind was all about how to get revenge on Pei Rong, so I didn't take a close look at the surrounding scenery.
Today's mood is different. Although there is evidence of Pei Rong's crimes against the bandits in his arms, Pei Yue is not too excited or excited.
The streets in Kyoto are very wide, and it is already morning. The streets are very lively, with shops lined up on the roadside. From time to time, the shouts of vendors are heard, and pedestrians are either walking in a hurry or walking slowly, creating a vivid and vivid scene. A living picture.
As Pei Yue approached Dongcheng, he suddenly felt alert in his heart, as if someone was following him.
He pretended to be looking for a way and looked around, but found no one out of the ordinary. No one was like the stalkers in the movies and TV shows he had seen in his previous life, who performed poor acting skills of tying his shoelaces or looking at his watch before being discovered.
After Pei Yue entered the Dongcheng area, a girl wearing a pleated skirt and carrying a large package appeared on the street corner.
There was something strange about the package behind her. There seemed to be a few broken branches inside.
The girl has a beautiful appearance, fresh temperament, and clear eyes.
She seemed to be wandering aimlessly, walking eastward without any restraint, and trailing far behind Pei Yue.
Dongcheng Yongrenfang.
Pei Yue passed through several streets and came to the door of Shen's mansion.
He had just dismounted and before he climbed up the stone steps, the disciple of the Shen Mansion came over and bowed: "May I ask if you are Mr. Pei?"
Pei Yue asked curiously: "Do you know me?"
The disciple said politely: "The head of the family once told me that if a young master of your age comes to visit, it must be Young Master Pei San of the Dingguo Mansion. The young men must not be rude and must be treated well, so they dare not be a little bit disrespectful." Neglect."
Hearing these words, Pei Yue was slightly shocked, not only because Shen Moyun was as confident as a magic stick, but also because the seemingly ordinary disciple in front of him actually had a very good conversational style.
He calmed down, took out the greeting card from his arms and said: "Can you please help me pass the message? I, the junior Pei Yue, have taken the liberty to come to visit Mr. Shen."
The disciple respectfully took the invitation and said, "I don't dare. The master of the house has an order. If Mr. Pei comes to visit, please go directly to the house to rest for a while."
Pei Yue did not take a step, but asked calmly: "Is Mr. Shen here?"
The disciple shook his head and said: "The master of the family is in the government office today. Don't worry, young master. This is the master's arrangement. I will go to the Tai Pavilion to report the news immediately."
The offer was so generous that it seemed hard to refuse.
Pei Yue looked at the quiet and solemn mansion in front of him, smiled slightly and said: "How can I be so arrogant before the elders arrive? Excuse me, please go and send a message. I will be waiting in the concierge."
A flash of surprise flashed in Menzi's eyes, and he did not persist, but said with an increasingly respectful attitude: "That's okay, Mr. Pei, please wait a moment."
Chapter completed!
