Xiao Su Gun and Gattuso are addicted to this quagmire that seems to be a fantasy. They have no complaints and regrets, and they have their own dreams. In this era, they can definitely be regarded as unconventional models.
Of course, the intelligence of these two people is not weak, even much higher than the IQ of many people.
After Xiao Su stick was overjoyed, he quickly kept calm, frowned and said, "Brother Xue is helping us develop it?"
"What's the problem?" Xue Poye touched his nose and smiled.
Xiao Su Gun said slowly: "Brother Xue has made this thing before? How can you help us? I also discovered this by accident. Before me, I have never heard of anyone making this thing."
Xue Poye chuckled and said, "It's nothing more than taking it for granted!"
"Obviously?" Xiao Su Gun laughed and said, "Brother Xue is really joking."
Xue Poye shook his head and said: "I'm willing to open anything, but I don't want to make a joke." After a pause, he said seriously: "Xiao Su Gun, let me ask you, you have exploded the pill furnace twice, have you ever thought about what they have in common? ?”
Xiao Su Gun immediately said: "Actually, I have been thinking about whether the two explosions have anything in common. After thinking about it, I finally have no idea."
Xue Poye laughed and said, "Could it be that you haven't thought about the ratio of these material formulas?"
"Proportion?"
"Yes!" Xue Poye guided: "Have you ever thought about the formula ratio of saltpeter, lime, sulfur, charcoal, and turpentine you put in the copper furnace during the two explosions? It means that you should understand that each material how much."
Xiao Su stick shook his body, slapped his head, stamped his feet and said: "Yes, grandma, why didn't I think of this. Not bad, this copper furnace burst, and these things in it are always useful, but how? How come I haven't thought about the method of compounding, don't you have to measure even the compounding method?"
Xue Poye laughed and said: "It's good to understand. The more these things, the better. According to the capacity of your current copper furnace, you need a lot of materials every time, which is a big waste. Why don't you get a small iron furnace?" Stove, this will not only save material resources and money, but also cause much less harm to people when it explodes. More importantly, with a small iron stove for experiments, you can mix small doses as you like, so Slowly carry out research, and always find out the formula ratio."
Xiao Su Gun nodded again and again, even Gattuso leaned over, clapped his hands and said, "We can record the number of recipes for each experiment. If it succeeds, then the ratio is correct."
Xue Poye laughed and said, "Your Excellency is really good at one point."
Xiao Su Gun seemed to have seen the dawn in front of him, he scratched his head and said excitedly: "That's right, that's it, brother Xue, you're a god, I suddenly realized what you mentioned."
Gattuso frowned again and said, "But we don't have sulfur anymore, and we have to match the proportions. It's not a matter of once, twice, ten times or eight times. It takes a long time, many experiments, and a lot of materials." , we... have no gold coins!"
Xiao Su Gun also calmed down, and humbly said to Xue Poye: "Brother Xue, it seems that you are very interested in this matter, does what you said earlier count?"
"Talk?" Xue Poye pretended to be confused and said, "What talk?"
Xiao Su Gun was a little anxious, and said awkwardly: "Didn't Brother Xue say he wanted to help us?"
Xue Poye laughed, nodded and said: "Yes, there are such words."
Xiao Su Chou heaved a sigh of relief, rubbed his hands together and said, "Brother Xue...!" Looking straight at Xue Poye, it means that you, the old man, should come out with money.
Xue Poye slowly took out two silver bills from his bosom, one hundred taels each, a total of two hundred taels, which is really pitifully small in a place full of wealth like the capital, but for the current Xiao Su stick For Gattuso, it is undoubtedly a huge sum of money.
Xiao Su was about to reach out to pick it up, but Xue Poye had already taken it away, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "It's okay to ask me to pay the money, it's two hundred taels, as long as you promise me one condition, it's yours, and In the future, more money will be provided to you for experiments.”
Xiao Su stick was stunned, and Gattuso looked at each other, frowned and said: "Brother Xue, what conditions do you have?"
Xue Poye rubbed his nose and said with a smile: "It's very simple. If this thing is done, you can't give the formula to anyone without my permission. Let's put it this way, I will buy this thing from you for two hundred taels of silver." ownership."
"No." Xiao Su Gun and Gattuso shouted at the same time.
Xue Poye said indifferently: "No?" Immediately stood up, stuffed the bank note into his bosom, and was about to leave.
Xiao Su stick hastily stopped him and said, "Brother Xue, don't go, let's talk slowly if we have something to say."
Xue Poye said indifferently: "Talk slowly? What are you talking about? If you don't agree to the first condition, then there is really no need to continue the discussion."
Gattuso muttered from behind: "Overbearing, really overbearing, we have already spent several thousand taels, you... you just want to buy the ownership for two hundred taels of silver, really...!" The handsome and treacherous young man was outraged.
"A few thousand taels?" Xue Poye sneered, "Then what did you guys come up with?"
"We will definitely develop it." Gattuso clenched his fist and said loudly.
Xue Poye shook his head and sighed: "Without money, what do you use for research and development?" He made a gesture to leave, but was dragged back to his seat by Xiao Su's stick.
"Brother Xue, it's not that we don't agree, it's really... hey, you are too harsh." Xiao Su Gun said helplessly, this Xue Poye was his hope, and he didn't want to let it go.
Xue Poye pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Little Su Gun, to be honest, whether you or I can succeed with this thing, it is uncertain, even just a dream, what do you think?"
Xue Poye knew in his heart that as long as he spent money on this matter, plus thousands of experiments, it would be successful, but he couldn't show his emotions.
Xiao Su Gun nodded helplessly and said: "Brother Xue is talking about this matter... I have no idea about this matter until now."
"Happy." Xue Poye clapped his hands and said, "Xiao Su Gun, it looks like you are very honest, so you should also understand that I spent the two hundred taels of silver to buy the ownership, but so far, I have not bought anything at all. I just bought a dream. Two hundred taels, not too much, but not too little, two hundred taels of silver can also buy a decent house in Kyoto, I have also asked, an eighteen-year-old beautiful and tender Little girl, it only costs twenty taels of silver, which is still high, and two hundred taels can buy ten little girls, don't you think?"
Xiao Su Gun nodded, and said helplessly: "Brother Xue, Saijiciao also said that we spent several thousand taels of silver for this matter, and your two hundred taels... Hehe, it seems a little little."
Xue Poye shook his head and said solemnly: "Xiao Su Gun, you can't say that. You have spent so much money. It has nothing to do with me. It's just that your method is wrong, and something went wrong. You are responsible." Pause , said earnestly: "Xiao Su Gun, let's spread the word out, you know, if I don't help you, I'm afraid this matter will come to an end, and you don't have the money to continue doing it, then It's just a erotic dream with nothing to gain, do you think that's the reason?"
Gattuso immediately said: "We will get the silver, we will. I want to go back to Rome and find the gold coins. I must continue the experiment."
Xiao Su stick turned around and scolded: "Shut up for me, are you calling your soul?"
When Gattuso heard Xiao Su's roar, he immediately fell silent.
Xue Poye glanced at Gattuso, thinking to himself: "If this explosive is really developed one day, this kid must not let it go, otherwise this secret recipe will be spread to Rome, it will be very bad. Well, no matter How, even if imprisoned, he must be imprisoned in Dachu, where he will die of old age."
Xiao Su smiled flatteringly at Xue Poye and said, "Brother Xue, don't pay attention to him, foreign hairs are like this, they yell nonsense, they don't understand etiquette."
Xue Poye chuckled, and then said sternly: "Little Su stick, Xue Mou offered to help because he felt that you are a good person, motivated, thoughtful, and a person who does things, so he was going to invest money in this seemingly In the mirror. I guess, you kid may have sought sponsorship in private, but others didn't agree to it, right?"
Xiao Su Gun blushed, and said awkwardly: "I don't want to hide from Brother Xue, Xiao Su Gun did find many wealthy households, even princes and nobles. Unfortunately, before I finished speaking, they were kicked out, saying that I was talking nonsense. , Said I was playful and didn't give me any chance." He clenched his fists and said bitterly: "Those short-sighted guys, how do they understand the value of this."
Xue Poye patted him on the shoulder, and said warmly: "Little Su stick, it's good to be self-motivated. Don't pay attention to other people's words, go your own way, let others talk about it, and wait until the day of success, let those who say three times talk about it. All the people of Daosi shut up."
Xiao Su Gun seemed to be grateful when he met a bosom friend.
Xue Poye thought for a while, and continued: "You can be regarded as unable to enter or retreat now, and my sponsorship can allow you to move forward without any scruples. As I said, this is just money to buy out ownership, I will naturally bear the expenses in the future, other than that, once the development is successful, I promise to provide everything you want, house, woman, enjoyment, isn't that your original intention?"
Xiao Su's current situation, if Xue Poye hadn't appeared, he and Gattuso would most likely become the two corpses found by people transporting garbage one day. Suo had no shelter from the cold at all, and even life became a huge problem, let alone continue his "dream".
Two hundred taels of silver can be enough to buy a decent house, and even live a comfortable life. More importantly, with the help of Xue Poye, this "dynamite" research work can continue and realize their ultimate goal. The ultimate dream.
Gattuso seems to be thinking about something too. Dreams are always ruthlessly crushed when they encounter the cruelty of reality. A foreigner who abandons his legitimate career and devotes himself to a seemingly illusory crooked way, this is What kind of spirit? In the eyes of outsiders, this is a fucking psychotic spirit.
He needs to work hard to prove that his choice is correct, so he must carry out the "deception" to the end, and must make achievements, so that those who ridiculed or even insulted him will respect him again, and let the remaining traces of him in his bones Respect grows anew.
Of course he didn't want the ownership of the "dynamite" to belong to Xue Poye, but he thought that once he participated in this project, once he succeeded, he would know the formula. As long as he knew the formula, he could certainly regroup. He made up his mind that once the matter is completed, this poor Mr. "Crowing Chicken" will die in the Great Chu State. In order to have enough funds for this experiment to continue, and to regain respect, Gattuso finally said: "Su Brother, let's agree to this gentleman's suggestion, only money can allow us to continue working."
A smile appeared on the corner of Xue Poye's mouth, this Sergio really knew how to advance and retreat.
Although Xiao Su Gun kept yelling at Gattuso, he still owed Gattuso in his heart. After all, he spent thousands of taels of money to come here, and he couldn't do anything, so it was hard to explain to him. The ownership has been sold, and hearing his approval at this time, he immediately said: "Brother Xue, this matter is settled like this."
Xue Poye laughed heartily, took out the two hundred taels of silver note and handed it to Xiao Su Gun, and said seriously: "A gentleman!"
"A four-horse is hard to chase!" Xiao Su stick firmly said.
The transaction was successful, which can be regarded as a happy event. Xue Poye took the two of them to the restaurant again, ate and drank, and confessed in the private room: "Hurry up and find a place to live. After you find it, come and give it to me." Submit a letter."
Xiao Su stick repeatedly said yes, suddenly came to his senses, and asked: "Where is Brother Xue's residence?"
"Consort's Mansion!" Xue Poye said casually after taking a sip of wine.
Xiao Su Gun paled in shock, stood up, and was about to kneel, but Xue Poye hurriedly stopped him and said, "What's the matter? Kneeling when you're eating!"
"You are the son-in-law?" Xiao Su said in horror.
Xue Poye hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm just a servant in the son-in-law's mansion."
"The servants in the son-in-law's mansion?" Xiao Su sized up Xue Poye with a stick, and finally sat down, his expression of surprise not gone: "Xue...Master Xue, the people in the son-in-law's mansion are all masters. "
Xue Poye didn't want to say more, and said directly: "You just need to ask Xue Shishitou, Master Xue, and someone will naturally inform you."
Xiao Su Gun and Gattuso quickly agreed, but they also believed that Xue Poye must be a "master" in their hearts.
After eating for a while, Xue Poye asked casually, "Is there no Ah San here?"
"Ah San?" Xiao Su Gun and Gattuso looked at each other suspiciously, and said strangely, "What ah San?"
Xue Poye chuckled, touched his nose and said, "Tianzhu, it seems that there are not many Tianzhu people here."
Gattuso asked: "Xue... Master Xue is looking for Tianzhu people? Those poor guys in Tianzhu, what can Master Xue do to find them?"
Xue Poye smiled slightly, thought for a while, and slowly said: "Actually, I read a book last time, and there was a sentence in Sanskrit on it, which looked very fresh, but I didn't know what it meant, so I wanted to ask someone from Tianzhu about it. Just ask."
"Sanskrit?" Gattuso became interested, and approached: "What Sanskrit? Master Xue, I have been to Tianzhu, and I know some Tianzhu dialect, maybe I can help you."
"Do you understand Sanskrit?"
"I can't say I understand everything." Gattuso seemed a little confident: "But I have stayed in Tianzhu for more than a year, and I still understand some commonly used Sanskrit."
Xue Poye immediately felt a sense of nowhere to be found, and it took no effort to get it. He looked around and saw that there were not many guests sitting next to him, so he said in a low voice: "I don't know whether it is a common place or not. language, it reads like this, Mahayana!~"
"Ah!" Gattuso immediately said: "That is an elusive footstep."
"Unpredictable footsteps?" Xue Poye asked doubtfully, "What do you mean?"
Gattuso thought for a while, and finally said: "Using your big Chu words, it can be called the enchanting step!"
"Ecstasy step?" Xue Poye frowned, pondered for a moment, seemed to understand something, nodded and said: "So that's what it means, I thought it was something, haha, interesting, come, drink!"
After leaving Xiao Su Gun and Gattuso, Xue Poye hurried back to the son-in-law's mansion and returned to the small courtyard. The green lady immediately called him to a secluded place and whispered: "Brother Hangzhou has returned the message."
Xue Poye was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "How is the situation?"
The green lady confirmed that there was no one around, so she said in a low voice: "Everything is as usual in the sub-rudder, but the second head of Moyun Village has secretly approached the sub-rudder, and seems to intend to join our sub-rudder. order."
"Accept!" Xue Poye immediately said: "This is a good thing. Accepting it can be regarded as a contribution to the development of the branch."
The green lady nodded, and said again: "The business under your name is now very prosperous. The silk produced by Xue's factory has spread all over Hangzhou. The Lu family suppressed it several times, but Nan Huaiwu repelled it. Even many Lu families The former affiliated merchants have also started to do your business secretly. The Lu family is weak. I heard that they are arguing to re-elect the president of the chamber of commerce. Commander, pull the Lu family down."
Xue Poye nodded and sighed: "I have known for a long time that he is a great person. With him guarding Hangzhou, I will have no worries."
Lady Lv bit her lip, and said with a charming smile that was not a smile, "Wuyou? This is not right, then you have your sister Yuezhu and talented girl Xiao waiting for you."
As soon as they were mentioned, Xue Poye's heart fluttered, and he didn't know what happened to Yuezhu and Xiao Suzhen now, Xiao Suzhen's five elements were restrained, and now he didn't know whether to untie them.
Xue Poye held her hand and said softly, "With you here, I don't want anyone."
The green lady giggled, pouted her lips, and said in a low voice towards Xue Poye's room: "Go quickly, your apprentice has been sitting in your room for a long time, waiting for you, it seems that there is something to find And you."
Knowing that Xiao Shitou was waiting for the translation of "Mahayalona", Xue Poye nodded, and hurried back to the room.
He told the translator to Xiao Shitou, Xiao Shitou was at a loss, Xue Poye said in a low voice: "Since the name is called Mihun Step, it is always a kind of footwork. It’s unique, you and I should study it carefully.”
Immediately, the two of them closed the doors and windows tightly, and began to study the red dots on the paper carefully. Since there was a reminder, Xue Poye already knew to a certain extent that those red dots might be the position of the footwork, and those dim connecting lines might be the position of the footwork. The routine of footwork action.
The pace like a spider's web is unique and incomparable. Although it is complicated, both of them know that this is not an ordinary thing, so they rack their hearts to make various attempts.
Of course the two of them didn't know that this "Misty Step" was created according to the principles of the Five Elements, Eight Diagrams and Wanxiang Esoteric Buddhism.
