People in the Tang Dynasty were fond of gambling, this is not an accident.
In fact, gambling already existed during the Han Dynasty.
Some people have also said that gambling is a kind of nature of Chinese people. This is not a derogatory meaning, it is just a phenomenon.
When it comes to gambling, Li Yuanxing is not afraid.
"Betting with me is not fair in itself. I have more exposure to this thing than you. Besides, there is no point in betting with you and winning, so I won't bet!"
Is Li Yuanxing afraid of gambling? His Highness the King of Qin, who even ran naked in Chang'an City, the world does not believe that the King of Qin would be afraid of anything.
Since it was Wang Yuyan who suggested that Li Yuanxing choose a stone to cut in the first place, she must smooth things over. Wang Yuyan suggested: "If you want to bet, let's all bet together. If His Highness loses, he will be fragrant when he returns to Chang'an."
Get off the flying boat. If we lose, then His Highness will make the request!"
"You will lose!" Li Yuanxing was not confident, but 90% sure.
Because Li Yuanxing chose it initially, the light in his eyes has not disappeared, and he is basically unlikely to lose.
"Your Highness, we dare to make a bet. You must know that there is no difference on the outside of this stone, and you can only know its value when you cut it open." Wang Yuyan's words were supported by everyone on the flying boat.
Li Yuanxing shrugged helplessly: "Well, if the guards and boatmen lose, they are not allowed to drink for ten days. If Yuyan, you girls lose, each of you will go to the fields to pick ten pounds of cotton for me."
"It's a bet, let's make a statement!"
"Shengun, go and move the rocks with me!"
Li Yuanxing went to the lower warehouse. Cui Yanyan stuck out her tongue and said to Wang Yuyan: "You are really brave, dare to fight with His Highness!"
"His Highness is a tiger that doesn't eat people, what are you afraid of?" Wang Yuyan has already figured out Li Yuanxing's temper. He will not give in even a little bit on big matters. He is usually carefree and doesn't care about anything. Maybe this way he can be like a family.
Li Yuanxing also liked this. He lost the feeling of being thousands of miles away and became much closer.
Soon, the rocks were moved up.
It's two pieces the size of a watermelon.
"One piece is imperial green glass, the best. The other piece is green, red and purple, authentic Fushoulu jadeite. There is even better one, which is also in the mountain, on this boat..." Li Yuanxing gave up and came.
After taking a big breath, he laughed: "There are other things on this ship that are no worse than these two!"
"Your Highness, are you sure?"
"This is still a bit of a gamble, otherwise I won't be able to win with force!"
Yu Zhen'er was about to ask someone to put one of the stones on the shelf. Captain Gao came over and whispered beside Li Yuanxing: "Your Highness, we are at most a quarter of an hour away from Guangzhou Mansion. We can already vaguely see the town."
"Unlock it on the way to Chang'an. Leave it here and seal it, so as not to say that the king is deceitful!"
It's too easy to close.
Two rows of seats were dismantled, and the fixed chairs under the seats were directly fixed to wooden boards. Then the two stones Li Yuanxing selected were tied with hemp ropes, and then the wooden boxes were covered. Lu Maofeng, on behalf of the guards, sealed the seals with Li Yuanxing at the same time.
Then each person put the gambling notes in his arms.
The city of Guangzhou already knew that Li Yuanxing was coming, and the time given by Hangzhou was also given by Li Yuanxing. Because it was his first flight to Guangzhou and the route was unfamiliar, Li Yuanxing gave him eighteen hours.
When crossing a river, Lu Maofeng and others dropped all the rubbish stones from the air.
When we arrived over Guangzhou City.
It happened to be around four o'clock in the afternoon in Guangzhou City. In order to reduce weight, Captain Gao used an accelerated flight method.
There was a fire on the ground, just in time to guide Li Yuanxing.
When the flying boat descended, Feng Ang came to the flying boat and stared at the flying boat.
"It's a divine thing! It's a divine thing!" Feng Ang couldn't think of any other way to make people fly in the sky. It only took eighteen hours to get from Hangzhou to Guangzhou. How fast it was.
Li Yuanxing got off the flying boat and walked over to Feng Anxiong.
Feng Ang was still marveling at this huge flying boat. It wasn't until Li Yuanxing came closer that he came to his senses and said, "Your Highness, I'm sorry!"
"It was my first time flying to Guangzhou, and I was worried that I would get lost. Next time I fly, I will definitely arrive in ten hours!" Li Yuanxing said with a smile, and also revealed in disguise that he had secretly dug jade.
"Your Highness is mighty!" Feng An's words were not flattery, but a sincere statement.
Wang Yuyan and others were naturally received by Feng Ang's wife. Lu Maofeng only brought ten people to follow Li Yuanxing, and the rest stayed behind to guard the flying boat. Feng Ang knew that this thing was not ordinary, so he sent a thousand-man team for the Qin Palace guards to deploy, as guards.
Feng Ang didn't care what he was doing, Li Yuanxing's guards would give orders for everything.
After entering Guangzhou City, Li Yuanxing lived in Feng An's mansion.
"Mr. Feng, how have Lingnan's profits been over the past year or so?" Li Yuanxing got straight to the point and asked directly.
Feng Ang clapped his hands and motioned for his subordinate Chang Shi to come in. Behind him was five people, each holding a ledger more than a foot thick.
"Your Highness, I know that your Highness is most concerned about people's livelihood. In the past year, the real rich are first of all businessmen, followed by workers, but farmers have no idea. The main reason is that the rubber trees have not yet produced, but fortunately there are many investors.
As businessmen, although the farmers who were responsible for the trees did not make any profit, the businessmen also made a living!"
Chang Shi took several scribes and began to report the income of Guangzhou City this year.
At the end of the report, Chang Shi said: "In the past eighteen months, Lingnan has paid a total of 2.86 million guan in taxes to Chang'an. The Qin King's money is not exchanged here in large quantities. The taxes are mostly paid with dried shrimps, snow salt, and medicinal materials."
, rice and grain as a supplement. Benefiting from His Highness’s methods of snow salt and snow sugar, the lives of the people in Lingnan have improved a lot!”
Feng Ang waved his hand and signaled the scribe to step back.
"Feng Gong, pearls are a huge profit. In fact, in the world, fields are mostly land, but in fact they are sea fields and fields. There are many treasures in the sea. In Leizhou Bay alone, I can create three million acres of sea fields. My king's
It means sending talented people to Chang'an, and I will teach them how to develop and protect Haitian."
"Your Highness is so righteous!" Feng Ang stood up and saluted.
Li Yuanxing stretched out his hand to help: "If Mr. Feng continues to salute like this, I will not come next time!"
"Come, come! You must come more often. I feel really warm when I see His Highness. His Highness alone has made the Tang Dynasty so powerful in the world. Feng An admires him!" Feng An said it truly, because the changes in Lingnan are also real.
Li Yuanxing shook his head: "I just came up with an idea, and it was only through the hard work of the people of the Tang Dynasty that we achieved this prosperous age!"
"God bless the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Yuanxing pressed Feng An's hand with both hands: "Just to talk, did someone give Mr. Feng some trouble? Is it Baiyue?"
"Alas..." Feng Ang sighed: "Those Baiyue are like disgusting bugs. They fly on your rice bowl when you eat. They always secretly ambush at sea, and they will attack lone ships when they meet.
They approached quietly, although in the past year, only two ships have crossed their path, but they sent warships out several times, but they couldn't catch anyone."
Li Yuanxing understood.
Feng Ang felt embarrassed, so he issued a hush-hush order and was not allowed to tell anyone in Hangzhou.
"What did King Baiyue say?" Li Yuanxing asked again.
"He said that those were the barbarians from the Nanhai Island, not from Baiyue. Since no one was caught alive, there is no evidence." At this point, Feng An shook Li Yuanxing's hand heavily: "Your Highness, please
Don't take action. If I can't even solve this little trouble and want His Highness to take action personally, then I will lose my face, and I will have the shame to enter Chang'an City in the future!"
Li Yuanxing nodded heavily: "It's up to you, it's up to you."
"Lu Maofeng, come get this king's gift!"
A fine steel box with four locks. After opening it, there was another wooden box, and inside was another fine steel box with a combination lock. Lu Maofeng took it out from his small bag
A piece of paper with three numbers on it, and two guards, each holding three numbers.
A total of nine numbers are required to open the innermost box.
Feng An stood up, wondering what kind of thing was so expensive.
When the box is opened, there are rolls of blueprints, modern blueprints that will not change color and are easy to store.
"This is a battleship! If in the air, my flying boat is an air fortress. This is the overlord of wooden ships, the overlord of the sea, the invincible overlord. The only one who can defeat this ship is Princess Mingyue, who is still planning.
We may not be able to see Ying's pure stainless steel giant ship in five years, so within the next ten years, this ship will be invincible. Even if there is an enemy, it will only be Datang's own higher-level warship."
Feng An and Lingnan Governor Shi carefully opened the top drawing.
"The ship is eighty-five feet long and has a displacement of 7,300 tons. That's 73,000 kilograms. The ship is equipped with a powerful cannon named by the Holy Spirit. There are 108 large, medium and small guns in total. Even a city can
It was blown to the ground. Of the 500 material ships that the king originally assigned to the sea, one hundred can only be used against this one. You can easily sink them all in one hour. Unless the captain is an idiot, otherwise this giant ship
It’s not easy to get hurt unless you’re on the same level.”
Feng Ang took a deep breath.
This is truly the overlord of the sea, an invincible battleship.
"This ship has no sail?" Lingnan Changshi asked.
"How can the sail propel this giant ship? The power system uses the fourth-generation gas turbine of the Tang Dynasty. This king's flying boat uses the second-generation. It can be said that the power is several times more powerful than this king's flying boat. The cruising speed at sea can reach
At least fifty miles per hour, the combat speed can reach seventy or even eighty miles." Li Yuanxing slowly introduced his giant ship.
Feng An suddenly came to his senses and looked at Li Yuanxing blankly.
"Your Highness wants to destroy Baiyue?" Feng Ang's first reaction was to start a war against Li Yuanxing.
Li Yuanxing did not answer, but just said: "This is also the reason why I did not accept the profits from the pearls that you had to hand over."
"Your Highness, please send a general to take charge of this matter, and I will give you my full assistance!" Feng An quickly stood up and said solemnly. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
