Chapter 302 Hit a stick to a sweet date
Liu Mingzhi handed over the letter in his home to Liu Si and walked into the main hall. ▲≥8▲≥8▲≥read ▲≥book,√≧o
As soon as they entered the door, the four of them immediately retreated aside in fear, looking at Master Liu who was sitting in the main seat with fear.
After taking a sip of tea, Liu Mingzhi stared at the four people calmly: "I don't want to know your origin. You know what I want in your heart. As long as I match my wishes, there are all kinds of gold, silver, jewelry, porcelain and silk, and you will be rewarded as much as you want. But if you dare to make a mistake from it, you will know more about my methods than anyone else. Ras will be your final outcome."
"Yes, yes, yes, we must not hide it and tell you everything we know."
Liu Mingzhi clapped his hands, and Liu Song immediately took out the prepared chicken feather paper and other items and put them on the table.
Liu Mingzhi picked up a feather and looked at it and threw it back casually: "I know you are not used to using a brush, and you may not even know how to use a brush, but there are no goose feathers in the mansion. This chicken feather is used alive. As for how to do it, it depends on your own."
Chuhe glanced at the things on the table in surprise. He didn't know how Liu Mingzhi knew that they used quill pens to record things.
He didn't dare to hesitate, picked up the knife on the table and sorted the chicken feathers in his hand into a quill pen, dipped ink and scratched the rice paper twice, nodded gently at Master Liu: "Sir, it's OK."
Liu Mingzhi looked at the quill pen in Chuhe's hand and nodded lightly: "Get out three more quill pens for the past few people, and you four will draw a chart each. If the chart is different, I don't need to say more about the consequences, right? You know more than me."
Huhe swallowed his saliva and immediately got ready. After a while, the four of them lay on a table with their backs to their backs and started drawing. Liu Mingzhi was afraid that these guys would make some small moves in private, so he kept turning around. The strictness was no less than that of the invigilator during the college entrance examination. As long as he dared to shake his head and whip it, he would be merciless.
You should know that the sea is not as good as above land, and there are reefs in the sea that cannot be seen by the naked eye. A little negligence may lead to the end of the ship being destroyed and people being killed. There is no need to be careless. → Book≥
The drawing of the chart was not that simple. It took about half an hour for four people to get up and leave the table one after another, sat aside and waited for Mr. Liu to check.
Collecting the four charts on a table, Liu Mingzhi focused on comparing the contents of the four charts, and did not dare to be careless at all.
Fortunately, the four of them may have been really scared by Han Zhong's whip. Although the content on the four charts is slightly different, the gap is not too big. Everyone has limited memory. Liu Mingzhi does not require the charts they draw to be exactly the same. As long as they don't interfere, it's good.
To check for the missing, Liu Mingzhi held a small brush in his hand and gathered the contents on the four charts on one chart and nodded with satisfaction.
The only thing that is the only thing that is good, the names of the national island routes recorded on these charts are all incomprehensible fonts. They are not very similar in English, and they are somewhat similar in other words, which makes Liu Mingzhi completely confused.
Then Liu Mingzhi took out the world map he prepared a few days ago and compared it with the sea chart. It was just a rough map. He did not have the ability to draw the world map clearly.
After bent down again and carefully comparing, the sea area and land in the two maps actually had 70% to 80% similarities. The slightly different one is that the charts of the people who were Chuhe were clearer, which makes people see clearly than the general map of Liu Dashou.
"Call the way, come here."
Chuhe carefully approached the table: "Sir."
Liu Mingzhi pointed at a strait with a gloomy face: "This place is obviously a very wide strait, but why is it so wide that it is above your chart, just like a small river."
The place Liu Dashao refers to is the Strait of Malacca in later generations. Because he had traveled there, his impression of this place was very clear, which was very different from the description on the Huhehai Chart.
"Sir, I have never made any false appearances. The appearance of the chart is completely drawn based on the places we have walked. If it is made, how could all four of us draw this way?"
Liu Mingzhi compared the four nautical charts again. Sure enough, the four people in the Strait of Malacca were almost the same.
Liu Mingzhi couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was too cautious. The difference was a bit different for thousands of years. "Can't the plate drift proposed by Socrates have begun now?"
Liu Mingzhi felt that he urgently needed a cigarette to calm down his mood.
Carefully rolled up four charts and put them in for Liu Song to save them. Liu Mingzhi took out the gold coins found from the four people and threw them on the table: "Is this the coins of your country or do all Western countries use this kind of coins?"
"This is just gold coins in our country. We can pay for everything in maritime trade, gold, silver and jewelry, and all kinds of rare treasures. Most of the time, we exchange goods for goods."
"Where did you get those two lumps of soil? Is there such a thing in your country?"
Chuhe recalled: "It seems like we were exchanged for something here with a small fleet. Before we could figure out what it was. You don't know anything at sea. We can only sort out what we get after trading our own goods after returning home."
I feel that the things I am asking for are almost the same. Boiling a frog in warm water is the most correct way. The secrets on these people must be taken out bit by bit. If you are too hasty, you will only get the wrong things.
Liu Mingzhi sat on the chair and clapped his hands. Xiao Wu led four or five servants to carry in five or six times and put ten boxes of the same size into the hall.
Liu Mingzhi drank a cup of tea: "Chuhe, I am very satisfied with your answer today. The first step of cooperation is very successful. I keep my word. As long as your answer makes me very satisfied, I am very satisfied with all kinds of treasures, including gold, silver, jewelry, porcelain, silk and all kinds of treasures."
In the confused look of the huhe, Master Liu pointed to the ten boxes on the ground: "Open and take a look."
Chuhe looked at Liu Mingzhi in panic and felt a little at a loss and did not dare to take action.
Young Master Liu chuckled: "If you want your life, why should I do these small moves? Open it up."
"Yes, Yes," Chuhe looked as if he was ready to die. He opened one of the boxes, and suddenly a dazzling light spread out in the refraction of the sun. Inside the box was neatly packed with silver ingots, and a box filled with ten taels of silver ingots each.
A trace of greed flashed in the eyes of the four of Chuhe: "Sir, you are"
"Open all and take a look."
"Yes" Huhe opened the remaining boxes without hesitation. Every time he opened the box, the four of them would make a shout.
Ten boxes, five boxes of silver ingots, one box of jewelry, two boxes of porcelain, and two boxes of silk neatly arranged meticulously.
Liu Mingzhi flicked the silver coins in his hand to Chuhe: "I am much more generous than your little family. I will ask you questions for ten consecutive days. If I have a one-day question, you can pick a box and take it away at will. If I am not satisfied, I will take one box back. Is this transaction satisfied?"
Chuhe looked at Master Liu in disbelief: "Sir, are these things rewarded to us?"
"Of course, I keep my word. You can pick a box and carry it to your room, and no one dares to stop it."
The four of them no longer had the anxiety they had before, and they all knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing: "Thank you for the reward."
""
Liu Mingzhi, who originally thought they would choose silver, watched the four of them walk out of the hall with a box of porcelain in surprise.
Liu Song looked at his young master with confusion: "Young master, they have all surrendered, why do you still have to buy them with money?"
Young Master Liu put down the teacup in his hand and looked quietly at the setting sun outside the window: "If you want a horse to run, you must eat good grass for the horse, and the wealth will be touching."
"But, all these silvers"
