A thousand years? Thank you brothers and sisters for your support.
Time is redundant, writing the long river road. You are not abandoned, the heart is touched. But with a thousand days of memories, the eyes are full of fog. For what reason? Acquaintances are often accompanied by deep feelings.
Spring comes, the swallow searches for its home. The pen moves, no words of bitterness. The country speaks of the Great Tang, still flying egrets. Do you remember? The sun warms the grain soil.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan left on horseback. Whether or not they could come back at night to sing Ocean's Laughter would depend on the results of the interrogation.
Without his brother to help him get the meat from the prawn rake, Xiaobei did not let the others busy and changed to eat other things.
If there were not so many people around and he was afraid that the smoke from the barbecue would suffocate others, Xiaobei would have asked someone to bring a barbecue rack and then cut the beef into large pieces and barbecue it. He ate to his heart's content, and two skewers were enough to fill him up.
"In the future, we will also arrange for performances. If there is a chance, we will go up and perform." Xiaobei said to Xiaoyuan, who was scalding mushrooms.
Xiaoyuan nodded indifferently. "Okay, you can do whatever you want. With you around, we won't have to worry about being idle."
"Being busy can make people feel fulfilled. Give me a skewer too. I want the reticulated mushroom one. Don't put it among the spicy ones. I want to try it." Xiaobei held a big prawn in his hand and glanced at Xiaoyuan. After he finished speaking, he continued to watch the performance on the stage.
"I feel that you are not fulfilling enough now. You let me do it, and you watch the performance."
"Appreciating art itself is a kind of fulfillment. Look, the skit about selling fake goods is so good. Don't watch it. Listen and look at the mushrooms." Xiaobei continued eating.
"Xiaobei, why did you sell us fake goods?" Xiaobei had just finished speaking when a young girl's voice came from beside him.
The children turned their heads to look and saw a little girl about their age standing there, accompanied by a woman with an embarrassed expression.
Xiaobei went to check on the guards first. Seeing that the guards did not respond, he knew that the two of them could come in, so they were not a threat to him.
Only then did he recall the young girl's words and asked in confusion, "Fake goods? Where are they from? "
"They are from Baby Candy House. Look, are they broken?" The little girl stretched out her hand and revealed a small toy car in her palm. It was very small, and the little girl had no problem placing four of them side by side.
Xiao Bei reached out and took it. He placed it in front of his eyes and carefully examined it. The small car was made of wood and had four smaller wheels that could be turned. The bottom of the car was engraved with two cartoon characters that read 'Baby'. The front of the car was split open.
"It's true. Baby, the candy house and candy came with a toy car. Look, there's a word on the bottom. Baby." Xiao Bei proved to the little girl.
"Then why is the front of the car cracked?" The little girl didn't care about Xiao Bei's identity for the sake of the toy.
Xiao Bei was at a loss and frowned. "How would I know? There are various ways to break the wooden cart, such as dropping it, smashing it with a hammer, or jumping up and stepping on it. "
"No, it's just a normal wheel. When I let go, it's my younger brother's car. As I was playing with it, I suddenly pushed it forward and let go. It hit the wall and broke. The quality is not good. Isn't it a fake?" The little girl made a gesture of playing with a small car.
Xiao Bei widened his eyes for a while and blinked twice. "This … I mean, how can this be played with? A small car is something that looks good. You can hold it in your hand and put it on the ground to let it run. Of course, it will break when it hits the wall. The small car is a gift. When you buy cakes and candy, you don't give them. Only children on their birthdays will give them things. The small car should be a set of four. If one is broken, there are still three good ones. "
Speaking of cakes, Xiao Bei sighed again. There were no cakes to sell now. He had to wait for his brother and sister to say that there was still a lot of food in the house before he could sell the cakes again. What he lost was all money.
The little girl was at a loss for words. The gift was free. It seemed to be a very unreasonable thing to find someone to reason with if a free gift was broken.
"Look, I told you not to come, but you insisted. It's just a wooden thing. Later, I'll ask your third uncle to make a few more for you. Your third uncle is the best at carpentry."
The woman who led the little girl over smiled at Xiao Bei and the others embarrassedly and reprimanded her daughter.
"No." The little girl was obviously unhappy. "What does a carpenter's small car have to do with a baby candy house? Uncle, do you dare to carve the same word 'baby' on the bottom? "
The woman shook her head. No one dared to imitate it like that.
The little girl looked worried. She looked at Xiao Bei and asked unwillingly, "The gift didn't say that you can't play with it like that. Think about it. Who doesn't want to send the car far away when they play with it? Right? It's good to put some lead in front. My brother is young. If you let him play with it, he will want the car to run far away. "
"Lead won't do." Xiao Bei was also worried. He shook the wooden car and said, "If it's lead, children will be poisoned when they put it in their mouths. You're right. The gift must also reflect the quality of the baby candy house. The more you give, the better it has to be.
In the future, there will be a ring of rubber around the car. There's no need to be afraid of collision. If it breaks, it means that the force is too strong. I don't have a small car with me. Tomorrow, you have time to go to the baby candy house in the city. Take the broken car and ask them to replace it for you.
Let your brother make do with it first. When the car with the rubber ring is out, the baby candy house will publish a message on the newspaper and put it on the second page. When you see it, you can take your car to change it, okay? "
After that, Xiao Bei added, "But we won't take care of your travel expenses. Unless it's a big item, the kind that requires a carriage and animals to pull it."
The little girl was very surprised. She didn't expect such a small thing to be published in the newspaper. She immediately regretted coming and whispered, "There's no need. There's no need to spend so much effort on a gift."
"You're not the only one with a car. There are others. Our family represents the highest quality of the Tang Empire. If we don't do it, we'll lose more than just the cost. We're standing here. All the merchants of the Tang Empire have to look up to us. We'll deal with whoever dares to cheat and cut corners. "
Xiao Bei explained his purpose to the little girl. Seeing the little girl's puzzled expression, he shook his head and gave up the idea of explaining to her. He said, "Since you're here, let's eat together. We can't finish it anyway."
"My Yuyu doesn't eat. She hates the smell." The woman said, "She doesn't even touch fish at home."
"Are you allergic?" Xiao Bei was concerned.
The little girl and the woman shook their heads.
"Then I know. Do you want to eat bean products?" Xiao Bei asked again.
"Yes, I want to eat dried tofu." The little girl stuck out her tongue and licked her lips. She was probably attracted by the smell of the Malatang.
Xiao Bei immediately arranged for people to make some dried tofu skewers and invited the little girl to eat together. As for the woman, she had just eaten a box meal and couldn't squeeze with the children. Only the nine little guys were eating here.
The dried tofu was cooked very quickly. It could be eaten after a few dips in the soup. After introducing the chili oil to the little girl, the nine little guys began to watch the little girl eat. They also looked at each other.
The little girl happily ate two skewers. Suddenly, she looked up and saw that she was surrounded. Her face immediately turned red and she whispered, "It's delicious. You guys eat."
The nine little guys tacitly turned around to get the seafood. Xiao Bei also took the mushrooms. He didn't eat them and put them on the little girl's plate.
There were five mushrooms on a skewer. The little girl ate one and her eyebrows almost flew up. She nodded vigorously and made a whining sound. It seemed that she found it delicious.
Xiao Bei ate a mouthful of squid and looked at the little girl. "Let me tell you a story."
"Okay." The little girl was very happy. She slowed down her eating speed and stared at Xiao Bei, waiting for him to tell the story.
"There was a child who was eight years old this year. He lived by the sea. The sea was blue and couldn't see the end of it. In the distance, it seemed to be connected to the sky. There were white seagulls flying. As for this child, he had two rabbits and already had six baby rabbits. He had to drink milk before they could grow.
One day, the child came home from school and found that the big rabbits were gone. Aiya, if the big rabbits were gone, the little rabbits would starve to death. The child was anxious and looked for them. He went to the yard and couldn't find them. He went to the barn and still couldn't find them. Where did the rabbits go? "
Xiao Bei stopped talking and tilted his head as if he was thinking about something.
The little girl stopped eating and also thought about it. Her eyes were full of expectation.
"The child thought, did the rabbits go to the beach? So, he ran towards the beach. When he reached the beach, he suddenly became happy. The rabbits were really there. They were playing with the little crabs on the beach. So, the child ran over to take a look and played with them. When he found that it was late, he wanted to bring the rabbits home to feed the baby rabbits, right? "
Xiao Bei paused and told the story like a stream of water to fool the little girl. The other party didn't care.
The little girl nodded.
"But suddenly, a sea monster with long fangs rushed out of the sea towards the rabbits and the child. It wanted to eat them. The child was weak and couldn't beat the sea monster. He was very anxious. What should he do? What should he do? Was he going to be eaten? "
Xiao Bei shook his head anxiously. He frowned and opened his mouth.
The little girl clenched her fists and looked very engrossed.
"At this critical and dangerous moment, the child thought of what the adults said. They said that eating seafood, fish, prawns, and other things in the water could make people smarter and stronger. The little crabs seemed to know about this too. They had already helped the child drag a squid out of the sea. It's the squid I'm eating now. It's called the squid mouth, where the squid mouth is."
Xiao Bei stopped and ate a squid mouth. He gestured to Yu Yu.
"The child immediately dragged the little crabs over and hesitated to take a bite. It happened to bite the squid mouth. He chewed and swallowed it. Then, he realized that he had become smarter and stronger. The sea monster that rushed over didn't have legs. In an instant, the child thought of a solution.
With the help of the rabbits and the little crabs, he dug a big hole on the beach. When the sea monster rushed up, they hid and the sea monster fell into the hole. The sea monster didn't have legs. It wanted to come up but couldn't. The child then filled the hole with sand and the sea monster died below.
When he returned home, the child liked to eat seafood and fish in the water very much. He became smarter and his body became better and better. Many children asked why, but the child didn't tell others. He wanted to become powerful by himself. Most importantly, the child realized that seafood and fish were very delicious. "
After Xiao Bei finished, he let out a long breath. He was tired.
The little girl Yu Yu also let out a long breath. She was scared.
"Eat. You eat your dried tofu and mushrooms. I'll eat my squid mouth. Mmm! It's delicious. It's better than eating soft candy. "Xiao Bei ate two squid mouths at once and smacked his lips hard.
Yu Yu's mouth moved as well. She asked hesitantly, "Isn't, isn't it fishy?"
"If you think about fishy, then everything is fishy. If you think about freshness, seafood and fish are very fresh. If you don't believe me, try it. Xiao Yuan, bring a skewer of squid mouth over. "
Xiao Bei instructed Xiao Yuan.
When Xiao Yuan brought a skewer of squid mouth soup to the little girl's plate, Yu Yu carefully picked it up and bit off a squid mouth. She chewed hard.
After a while, she ate it and felt that it was very amazing. She said, "It's really delicious. It's not fishy at all."
Then, she ate two in a row. She turned to her mother and said, "Mother, I want to eat fish in the future. I'll become very smart and powerful."
"You can also become beautiful," Xiao Bei added. He forgot to mention it just now.
"Okay, okay. Mother will make fish for Yu Yu to eat in the future," the woman wiped her tears and said to her daughter.
At this moment, she really understood how amazing Xiao Bei and the others were. They were children of the same age, but they could tell stories to their children to make them like eating fish. Who would have thought of such a good idea?
The little girl Yu Yu didn't think about the profound meaning behind it. She ate the dried tofu and mushrooms on her plate as fast as she could. Then, she focused on the seafood. She stuffed abalone, squid, and sea cucumber into her mouth until she was full.
The woman took Yu Yu, who was rubbing her stomach, and said goodbye to Xiao Bei and the others. Xiao Bei wiped the sweat on his forehead. "Aiya, I'm so tired. Is it difficult to educate a child? Why did you have to pull her in front of me to tell stories? "
Xiao Yuan also wiped his sweat. "There are many, many children in Tang Dynasty who are like Yu Yu. They don't like to eat this and that. We can't tell everyone the story once. We need more people to work hard."
"Yes." Xiao Bei nodded helplessly.
The person who had been serving them saw that the little ones were in a dilemma. He thought for a while, and when he passed the sesame oil to Xiao Bei, he said, "I don't know if Young Master Xiao Bao can come back in time to perform. He's really busy with too many things. Sometimes, he has to do it himself, and sometimes, he has to guide the people through the newspapers. Many things that the people don't understand can only be understood by reading the newspapers.
Fortunately, there are newspapers, and the price is cheap. He almost doesn't need to pay for it himself. In the end, when the newspapers are sold, the money from the newspaper subscriptions will come back to him. The cost will be borne by the merchants who advertise. "
After he finished speaking, he turned around and sat back down, waiting for the little ones' instructions.
The eyes of the nine little ones lit up. They looked at each other and were very excited.
"That's right. Brother can use the newspaper to tell the people things, so can we. We publish our own newspaper in the Precious Candy House. It's specially for the children to read. We tell stories in it. Those who don't like to eat vegetables have special stories. Those who don't like to eat fatty meat also have special stories.
We give it to the children for free. The cost of printing and editing will be borne by the merchants who are involved with the children. We will advertise for them. If they are capable enough, they can monopolize the plot of a certain story in Tang Dynasty. We can even name the food in the story after the name of their product to help promote their sales.
For example, there are 100,000 children in Tang Dynasty who don't like to eat fish. After advertising, they like fish. Then, the number of fish sold will be additional to the number they sold before, right? Let's do it this way. "
Xiao Bei waved his fist, looking like he was going to do something big. The other eight children also showed their support with their expressions.
After confirming the matter, they were suddenly stunned. At the same time, they turned to look at the inner courtyard that had just passed the sesame oil to Xiao Bei.
Xiao Yuan took a deep breath and said, "My family's inner courtyard is one in a million. I thought that Xiao Bei's calmness when telling the children stories to let Yuyu eat fish was very impressive. However, the people around us are silent."
The inner courtyard just now smiled modestly and didn't say anything.
Xu Yilong, who had been following Xiao Bei and the rest, was stunned at the back.
At this moment, he felt that he had seen too many incredible things and learned too much. He understood too much about the deep foundation of the Zhang Family and Wang Family. There were too many things, too many things …
*****
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't know what their younger brothers and sisters did after they left. After rushing for a while, the two of them came to the place where the polycannibals were locked up. After another round of interrogation, the result was the same as before.
There were 231 polycannibals. It was impossible to maintain unity and not confess. As long as they pried open one person's mouth, the others would definitely not be able to hold on.
"Don't let them die. Give some simple treatment to those who were executed before. With more than 230 people, we can build a long section of railway."
Before Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan left the interrogation place, they asked about the polycannibals.
Wang Juan wasn't interested in this. Instead, she said with relief, "It's fine as long as there are no other schemes. If we really send people to patrol the coast, they can come around and smoothly. We can directly send people to wait at a place where they can go ashore in Hangzhou. If the ship is damaged at sea, it will be dangerous for them to find a place to dock."
"I'm afraid that they will either die at sea or dock at Xinyuan Island, which is Luzon Island. They will compete with the local aborigines for resources. In the end, they will either turn the locals into believers or they will become locals." Zhang Xiaobao said as if he was telling a joke.
He didn't think that the polycannibals would take such measures to deal with the war. At the same time, he found that he and Cuckoo had a weakness. They cared too much about the safety and happiness of the Tang people. But they couldn't change it. The imperial court cared about the people, so the people supported the country.
If the people were disappointed again and again, even if they didn't dare to rebel because of the military suppression, as long as there were other factors that made the country unstable, the people would be happy to add fuel to the fire and make things worse.
Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao knew the weakness, but they couldn't change it. Looking to the west, she said, "Send more people to patrol the land. The border is too long."
The long border on land was more difficult than on the sea. Fortunately, they could see very far on the sea. On the land, there were forests and valleys. Who knew where the enemy would come from?
"Why don't we occupy the entire Eurasian continent? The land will be safe." Zhang Xiaobao suggested.
"What about the sea? You can just say to occupy the whole world. Then we can fight against the alien enemies together. "Wang Juan rolled her eyes at Zhang Xiaobao.
"That's fine. At that time, it will be the Global Village. The people of various places on Earth will be distributed according to their needs. Our Tang Empire will be in charge of researching the advanced technology, and other places will be in charge of processing and providing the raw materials. They don't need to research. If they do, it will be called a waste of resources."
Zhang Xiaobao followed along, not blushing at all.
"Do you think others are stupid?"
"Do you think there are few stupid people? Many of the elites in China think so. There are even some in the ruling class … "
"Do you think we should help build railways in other countries?" Wang Juan interrupted Zhang Xiaobao and asked.
"Use it. It's like when Japan invaded China. If we don't build railways, we can't transport things, and it's not easy to mobilize troops. In that case, we should build factories for them. That's fine. Many polluting enterprises will be built. Look at our Tang Empire. The pollution is very serious now. In order to speed up the progress, small factories are built. In the future, we will have to heal this scar.
Fortunately, we have moved away the people around the factories. Looking at the colorful smoke coming out of the factories because of the technical limitations, it would be a lie to say that I don't feel bad. "
Zhang Xiaobao sounded like he was in a difficult position.
Wang Juan was also troubled for a while, but she immediately stopped thinking about the pollution. Although the pollution caused by the creation of constant profits now required five or even ten strings of coins to be reformed in the future, the accounts were not calculated like that.
Now that constant profits were generated, this constant money brought about the improvement of technology. Moreover, when the time came for the reformation, it would have already generated hundreds or thousands of strings of coins. The main problem was whether a small portion of the profits would be used for the reformation.
If the money used for the reformation was not used for the reformation but to create more profits, that would be troublesome. According to the greed of human nature, there was a 99% chance that they would do so. Unless it was not only the lives of others that were threatened, but also his own life, then he would be willing to reform the pollution.
"Let's go. We'll go back and sleep for a while first, then we'll go to the performance. I wonder if the smart and bold people of Tang Empire have made preparations for the small cluster of agriculture and handicrafts."
After saying that, Zhang Xiaobao walked to the bedroom first.
"I guarantee it. There will definitely be news in two days." Wang Juan followed.
