Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Chapter 297 On the way home

Why steal rubber grass?

They want rubber, but the people in Daqian probably don’t even know what rubber is.

Even if they knew what rubber was, the difficulty of extracting it was unsolvable for them.

So Xu Jinyu specifically left the rubber grass for Wei An. If he gave it to someone else, they wouldn’t understand it.

Seeing that Xu Jinyu didn't understand, Wei An sighed. His fellow villager really didn't know the value of the secret recipes he was selling or giving away.

"Don't you think about how much money the frosting secret recipe you gave away has earned this year? My friend in the Ministry of Revenue told me that the money earned from frosting alone in the past six months could fill ten warehouses."

"Coppers?"

Wei An rolled his eyes: "What's there to say about copper coins? Of course it's silver. You have shares yourself, so you don't feel it."

Xu Jinyu scratched his head: "I sent them all to school. I can't take them back anyway."

Ever since Xu Jinyu had no shortage of silver to exchange things in the golden finger, he no longer cared much about money.

We can’t bring that money back to the modern world, so we can only drool over it.

But Xu Jinyu was really drooling over those beautiful jewelry.

Wei An's eyes lit up: "How about you give me some?"

"Get lost! I prepared those for school."

Wei An touched his nose and continued the previous topic: "Since ancient times, money has moved people's hearts. They dare not touch the secret recipes in other people's hands. The people you selected have been officials in Daqian for generations. They have family backgrounds. If they touch, they must be careful of their claws. I dare to touch the secret recipes in my hands."

"I am just a small sixth-rank official, and my uncle is just a businessman without any foundation. If I really suffer any loss, I can only swallow it myself." The more Wei An spoke, the more pitiful he felt.

"Then do you want me to help you file a complaint?" Xu Jinyu was inexplicably interested in filing a complaint.

"Hehehe..."

Wei An couldn't help but laugh. He was indeed a college student. The solution he came up with was simple and effective: find the head of the family.

However, relying on Xu Jinyu to file a complaint is not a long-term solution. Wei An must make Daqian inseparable from him and have his own roots in Daqian. When someone touches his things, Daqian's officials will take the initiative to protect him. After all, he has no way to leave this world, so he must have power.

Let’s start with the simplest one.

Wei An hesitated for a moment and asked Xu Jinyu: "Do you still remember the water well?"

"A pressure well?"

Xu Jinyu was stunned for a long time before he dug this thing out of his mind.

In China, even rural areas have running water, and pressurized wells, as old as this, have not been used for a long time.

It’s a simple thing, but it saves effort and even a seven or eight-year-old child can operate it.

The conditions in Daqian really cannot afford running water, but the pressurized well is definitely a magical tool.

Wei An continued, "If we can promote this water well throughout Daqian, I will have a second contribution. As for the bicycles and tricycles you mentioned, let His Majesty realize the importance of rubber grass. Needless to say, His Majesty will not let anyone else touch the rubber grass."

Xu Jinyu: "This method is good, but..."

Xu Jinyu approached Wei An, glanced at the imperial guards driving the carriage, and whispered, "Will the emperor turn against you? How can His Majesty hold back on such a good thing?"

[You also said that money can make people happy. Will the emperor kill Wei An and take the rubber grass for himself? Rubber is an indispensable thing for the development of modern industry.]

Wei An pursed his lips. It was rare! Xu Jinyu still had a sense of crisis.

In the carriage in front, Ren Changfeng and Princess Wuyang rolled their eyes.

Xu Jinyu was overthinking. Why would His Majesty attack Wei An? The number of guards with hidden identities in Wei An's mansion was slightly less than that in Xu Jinyu's mansion.

Your Majesty is still waiting for Wei An's explosives that will make the people of the grassland sing and dance.

If we talk about the territory of Daqian, Xu Jinyu is the most precious treasure, then Wei An is the second most precious treasure, and then it is Emperor Xuan's turn.

Wei An: "No, Your Majesty is a wise ruler."

"Oh!"

Xu Jinyu was half-believing and half-doubting.

Suddenly the carriage stopped and a guard came to report.

"Master Wei, we have arrived at Blueprint County. Would you like to come down and take a look?"

"We've arrived at Blueprint County." Wei An sighed softly.

I wonder what the county town, which was ruined by the county magistrate and was left uninhabited for hundreds of miles, looks like now.

"Come on, let's go down and take a look!"

"go!"

Several people got off the carriage and returned to the same seats as last time.

However, the dilapidated city wall has been rebuilt, the city gate has been repainted, and there are people standing guard at the gate. When everyone enters the gate, they have to throw a copper coin into the basket next to them. There are many pedestrians coming and going, and soon the basket is half full of copper coins.

"It costs only one penny to enter the city. It seems that this county magistrate is not bad." Ren Changfeng nodded with satisfaction.

With a sigh, several people walked slowly into Blueprint County. The county seemed to be thriving, and there was no sign of the desolation it had been in the past.

"Let's have a meal at the restaurant ahead before continuing our journey!" Ren Changfeng suggested.

"it is good!"

This place became prosperous because of their efforts, and everyone wants to see what Blueprint County looks like now.

"Oh!"

A figure flew out from a roadside shop and landed in front of Xu Jinyu and the others.

[This... the novel heroine is now treated like me. Do I need to be a hero and save her? ]

Princess Wuyang frowned and looked at the "beauty" in front of her.

The "beauty" was wearing waiter's clothes, had a sallow complexion and was short in stature. She was just an ordinary Daqian citizen.

Before anyone could say anything, a burly man jumped out of the store, pointed at the clerk on the ground and shouted, "You little bastard, are you bullying me because I'm a commoner who moved here from Dayue? You can bully other commoners, but if you want to bully me, check my fist first!"

As he spoke, he raised his fist and rushed towards the waiter. The waiter looked at the fist, which was only slightly smaller than his head. His legs were shaking and he retreated in panic, shouting as he retreated: "Grandpa! I am just a waiter. I have to listen to the boss's orders no matter what the price of grain is. I am really not bullying you!"

"Besides, with your size, no smaller person would dare to bully you!"

The guy really cried. He was just an employee, earning a few hundred coins a month. The price was set by the shopkeeper, so he had to sell at that price. Why should he be blamed? Why should he be beaten?

Suddenly, the waiter saw a sneaking figure. At this moment, the waiter was as agile as a rabbit. He hugged the figure who wanted to sneak away and started to howl: "Boss, you quickly explain to this old man that it was really not me who cheated him. I don't have the right to set the price."

The shopkeeper turned his head with a look of pain on his face, and said in the same humble tone as the clerk: "Grandpa, the price of grain sold by everyone has increased. If I, a small family, don't raise the price, those big grain merchants will eat me up."

"What do you mean?" The big man didn't quite understand what the shopkeeper said.
