The female emperor fights, captures Yang Yuhuan at the beginning

Qin Lang folded his sleeves with both hands, squatted in front of the stall and looked at the rough man in front of him.

"Since it's your first time here, I won't make things difficult for you. Remember one thing, if you don't buy it, you won't get it. But if you get it, you have to accept the sky-high price, otherwise you won't be able to get out of this street."

Qin Lang was amused as soon as he heard it: "Even if the thing you started with is cheated, you can only smash your teeth and swallow it by yourself?"

The stall owner glanced at Qin Lang disdainfully: "We at Sparrow Street never engage in deceitful business. Buyers have their own rules, and sellers have their own rules. You don't have to buy it, you can see it, but if you get started, you have to buy it." Come down, this is the rule of Sparrow Street."

The other party's words were very harsh, but Qin Lang was not angry, and turned his mouth towards the telescope: "This thing looks very strange, how about a price?"

The stall owner stretched out his right hand from under his armpit. Qin Lang looked at the cuff, which was a section longer than ordinary sleeves, and he roughly understood the way of bargaining here.

This kind of transaction method is called pulling hands in the common saying, and it is called Qiankun in the sleeve if it is more elegant. In fact, it is a way for two people to bargain with their hands in their sleeves without letting others know.

The specific operation method is actually very easy to understand, index finger 1, index finger and middle finger 2, middle finger, ring finger, little finger 3, index finger to little finger 4, thumb 5; 6 thumb and little finger 7 thumb, index finger, middle finger Pinch together, 8 Stretch the thumb and index finger apart, 9 bend the index finger into a hook, and pinch the thumb and index finger into an O shape.The supplementary language is "this whole" and "this zero" (meaning zero).

Qin Lang reached into his sleeve, and the other party gave a thumbs up directly. Qin Lang thought it meant five taels, but the stall owner explained that Sparrow Street only traded gold.

That is to say, this telescope stall mainly adds five taels of gold, which is naturally not expensive for a person like Qin Lang who knows the goods, but since they are all holding hands, they still have to bargain.

After coming and going, the expression of the stall owner changed quickly, and finally the price of one or two taels of gold was negotiated.

After giving the gold, Qin Lang picked up the binoculars and took a look. It was intact. The viewing distance should be eight times. Generally, this kind of monocular is seven to ten times. Qin Lang doesn't know the specifics, but it is enough to use anyway.

This thing is very useful to Qin Lang, take it back to Mo Zi for research, Qin Lang believes that it will be produced in a short time.

Playing with the telescope in his hand, Qin Lang said curiously: "This thing is quite interesting, I don't know where I got it."

As soon as Qin Lang opened his mouth, he violated another taboo. Generally, you can't ask about the origin of things in this kind of place. Qin Lang naturally knew this rule, but he still asked, but he stuffed a tael of gold in his hand.

The stall owner glanced at the golden gold in his hand, hesitated for a moment and waved to Qin Lang. Qin Lang bent slightly, and the stall owner looked around before saying in a low voice, "It's from the fishing village in the east."

Qin Lang nodded, let go of the gold in his hand, smiled warmly, and continued shopping with Ye Qingxuan in his arms.

The stall owner's words just now proved Qin Lang's conjecture that Zhongzhou, a world covered by mist, must be more than a continent of Zhongzhou.

There must be other continents on the other side of the sea, and they are also technologically advanced continents. From this monocular, it can be seen that their industrial level has reached a certain height.

This conjecture was confirmed by Qin Lang, and he couldn't help feeling some invisible pressure in his heart. Currently, the 36 states, including this dragon city, are all in an agricultural society.

Others are already far ahead in technology, if the existence of Zhongzhou is discovered in the future, the consequences will be disastrous.

It is imminent to win Zhongzhou as soon as possible, but Qinzhou's current strength cannot reach the level of crushing everyone.

Now Qin Lang could only be in a hurry. This kind of helplessness was indescribable. There was a sense of powerlessness surrounding him, which made Qin Lang feel a little uncomfortable.

However, what he found next made him quickly escape from the shadows. It was still an inconspicuous small stall with hundreds of various gadgets.

What Qin Lang saw was a small motor, similar to the one used in four-wheel drive vehicles. This discovery made Qin Lang both happy and worried.

The joy is that a generator can be developed based on this gadget, but the worry is that other people's technology has developed to the age of electricity, and they can still manufacture such a sophisticated motor.

Qin Lang couldn't believe what level of civilization existed beyond the unknown ocean.

Qin Lang didn't think much about it, and directly won this extremely critical thing at the price of two taels.

Afterwards, Qin Lang bought and bought all the way. Among them was a pair of young Hai Dongqing that Qin Lang loved the most. In addition, there was a compass, a discarded wire, a set of gears and so on.

In short, Li Chenmei has already carried half a bag of junk that he can't even understand.

Because there were so many good things, Qin Lang wandered halfway down the street and had lunch in a small restaurant before realizing that he was recruiting talents.

While eating, Qin Lang recalled the people he met before.

To be honest, Qin Lang didn't feel that there was anything special about these people, nor were they as mysterious as Ye Qingxuan said.

The stall owners he attacked might be people from the grassy green forests, and after a simple exchange, they really didn't find anything eye-catching.

The reason why there are these new gadgets is mainly due to the goods merchants traveling north and south, or the things found during the plundering of the green forest.

Among them, there are quite a few people who touch gold, and there are indeed many new gadgets on the booth.

But Qin Langzhi is not here. He is not short of money, and he doesn't care about these antique gadgets. He only cares about things or people that can improve his technological level.

Qin Lang was not discouraged, after all, he had only visited Sparrow Street for less than half of it, which was equivalent to having only finished shopping on the streets.

The real boss who will be the gatekeeper, the more you walk into the street, the more you will find that the scale of the building begins to change.

After eating and resting for a while, Qin Lang and the three continued to stroll around. It was not until they reached the intersection of the cross streets that Qin Lang found a special person.

In a place like Dragon City, meeting someone who reads English books is enough to shock people.

Chapter 0213 Gifted Scholars and Beautiful Ladies

The scene in front of him was a bit funny, and it was the first time Qin Lang saw someone who read an English book upside down and read it with gusto.

Hey, look, Qin Lang really met him, and this person seemed to have found some ways in the book.

The man reading the book is not very old, and his clothes are not luxurious, but there are no patches, but the corners of the clothes and the cuffs are a little white, which should be due to the color fading after years of washing.

The booth in front of the man was full of various books, Qin Lang just took a casual glance and knew that some of them were books that shouldn't appear in Dragon City.

When Qin Lang took a few steps forward and was about to go to the bookstall to see what the names of the books were, a beautiful figure appeared beside the man.

The woman was also dressed plainly, without much modification, perhaps because of her natural beauty, if there was even a little bit of rouge and gouache on that exquisite face, it would make people feel awkward.

The more bare-faced it is, the more it will set off her beauty, without any superfluous, giving people a sense of icy purity and cleanliness, the clarity of watery hibiscus.

Holding a lunch box wrapped in cotton cloth in her arms, the woman came to the back of the bookstall and opened the package very skillfully, and took out some hot wooden food boxes one by one and placed them on the small coffee table beside her.

The man put down the book in his hand and wanted to step in to help, but the woman gently slapped it away, not far away, Qin Lang heard it clearly.

The woman said: "My husband's hands are stained with the fragrance of books, so don't be stained by oil and dirt."

The man said distressedly: "It's just a matter of raising your hands, I will do it, the lady's hands are naturally delicate, don't waste it."

The two seemed to be fighting politely, but in fact no one gave way to the other. It was just a small incident that moved Ye Qingxuan who was next to Qin Lang to tears.

"Master, they are so affectionate."

Qin Lang squeezed Ye Qingxuan's slender waist, and deliberately joked: "Is it not affectionate to follow the master?"

Ye Qingxuan snorted, leaned gently on Qin Lang's shoulder, and whispered softly: "They are also loving, I don't envy them anymore, hmph."

Qin Lang didn't want to disturb the young couple, so he turned to the booth next to him to pass the time.

Qin Lang returned to the bookstall after approaching two sticks of incense. At this time, the man had finished his lunch and the woman had packed up the tableware, but she didn't leave. Instead, she was sitting behind the stall on a pony and doing handwork.

Seeing a guest coming, the man stood up to greet him enthusiastically, perhaps because his wife was by his side, he behaved very well.

Without the indifferent attitude of those people Qin Lang met before, the smile on his face also made people feel very comfortable.

"My lord is also a man of good books?" The man's voice was warm, neither humble nor overbearing, neither flattering nor cold, making it impossible to find fault.

Qin Lang smiled faintly: "It's the first time I've come back to Sparrow Street. I don't know the rules. I wonder if you have any strange rules?"

The man understood the meaning of Qin Lang's words. He must have been intimidated many times, otherwise he wouldn't be so cautious.

There are indeed many rules in Sparrow Street, but they are also most directly related to the stall owners. Some businesses do have rules that don't buy if you don't buy it.

It's the same here, because books are also fragile things. If people come and go to you and look through them, these books may have long been ruined.

"The small stall also has a rule. If you are a book lover, you should be able to understand that these are my treasures. I feel very distressed. If you like it, you are willing to pay a small amount of money to buy it back and read it carefully. I am willing to let you read it carefully. You start to look through."

The man spoke politely, and Qin Lang felt quite comfortable listening, so he pointed to the book in the man's hand and asked, "I've taken a fancy to a few books, but I'm more interested in the one in your hand. Do you want to take a look?"

The man raised his hand slightly, glanced at the book in his hand, and couldn't hide his surprise on his face: "Young Master, do you also have research on foreign languages?"

There were indeed many books in foreign languages ​​on the bookstall. Although Qin Lang couldn't read them, he could roughly guess that some were written in minority languages, and there were also some ancient oracle bone inscriptions.

"I can't talk about research, but I can roughly understand a little bit. I don't know if the stall owner is willing to give up his love?"

The man pondered for a moment, then handed the book to Qin Lang. Qin Lang smiled slightly, first adjusted the direction of the book, and then closed it to read the title of the book on the cover.

Looking at the cover, Qin Lang became a little excited. This is one of a set of encyclopedias, and this one is mainly about machinery and tools.

Then he opened the book casually, and the illustrations inside were even more detailed. With this book, Qin Lang was confident that he could quickly improve Qinzhou's technological level.

The problem was that the translation was very problematic. Although Qin Lang could roughly understand some of the technical terms, it was a headache. They knew Qin Lang, but Qin Lang didn't recognize them.

Seeing Qin Lang flipping through the book carefully, the man didn't know if Qin Lang could really understand it, so he asked curiously, "Master, can you really understand this foreign language?"

ah!Qin Lang, who was immersed in turning the pages of the book, stopped his hands and took out a 50 tael gold ingot from his purse and handed it over: "Is it enough?"

The man looked at the gold ingot in his hand and almost missed it. These books are treasures to him, but they are trash to those who don't understand them.

This is also the reason why his life is very poor. It's not that he has never seen money, but that Qin Lang's actions are too generous, far exceeding his expectations.

And from the heart, understanding what these words mean is much more meaningful than this ingot of gold.

The man returned the gold ingot, his eyes gleaming: "If you can really understand these characters, I don't want the money. I still have a lot of books like this, as long as you are willing to teach me how to read."

Qin Lang didn't pick up the gold ingots, but glanced at the woman sitting behind her embroidering on the horse's saddle, and said numbly, "You don't want money, you have to think about whether you have any shortages at home?"

The man suddenly realized that he secretly turned his head to look at his wife, and couldn't help but feel sore. What Qin Lang said made sense. He was too obsessed with his hobbies, and indeed ignored the feelings of the people around him.

Accepting the gold ingot and rubbing it in his hands, his eyes were full of longing. The thirst for knowledge was more important to him than eating and sleeping.

It's not that Qin Lang doesn't want to teach. The key is that he doesn't have enough time. He has no problem with phonetic symbols and grammar, but he is not good at deeper things.

So he declined and said: "A language cannot be learned in three or two days, and I won't be in Dragon City for a long time... You still have the basics, show it to me, and buy it together if it is suitable." .”

The man quickly took out a dozen books from the wooden box behind him. Qin Lang saw that there was an English dictionary inside, and the problem was solved. At least he was good enough to understand these books.

"Well, if possible, I would like to follow you, for fear of disturbing the young master."

Qin Lang smiled when he heard this. This person is really persistent, but this kind of personality is a necessary condition for a person to achieve great things. If you think about it, if he can really learn it, he is also a rare talent.

"If you insist on this, I can teach you, but I can't guarantee whether you can learn it, and my whereabouts are not fixed, and I don't have much time to teach you. Except for basic word recognition and grammar, everything else has to be learned. It's up to you to spend time researching."

When Qin Lang agreed, the man was overjoyed. He insisted on giving the gold to Qin Lang. Qin Lang naturally wouldn't accept it after holding his hands down. In the end, the man had no choice but to hand it over to the woman behind him.

With so much money suddenly in her hand, the woman's happy eyes turned into crescent moons. Knowing that she had met a nobleman, she got up and bowed to Qin Lang to wish her a blessing.

Now that the two parties have reached an agreement, Qin Lang didn't want to stay any longer. He wanted to see if he could meet someone, so he said, "If you don't give up, you can move to Kanglefang on Bodhisattva Street in the southwest of the city. I'm in charge there." People, when the time comes, you can go and find the two people beside me, but after talking so much, I still don’t know what to call Xiongtai?”

Before Qin Lang said that he was not in Longcheng, the man thought Qin Lang was an outsider, but when he heard that it was in the south of the city, the only doubt in his heart was gone, and he quickly answered with his hands clasped, "I'm Wang Shuo, this is the Zhao family."

Qin Lang just said oh and planned to leave after a few words of advice, but Ye Qingxuan who was next to him grew his mouth and exclaimed.

"You...you are Wang Shuo? Is that really your wife Zhao Beibei?"

Wang Shuo was a little embarrassed, but the wife next to him looked calm and didn't think there was anything wrong with Ye Qingxuan's surprise.

Qin Lang looked at Ye Qingxuan curiously: "You know him?"

Ye Qingxuan stuttered a few times before explaining: "Master, you have picked up a treasure. This is our Dragon City's last No. The number one talented woman in Zhaocheng who eloped with him has always been rumored that the number one scholar is in Sparrow Street, but she never expected to be met by the master, their story is really romantic, and I started to envy him again."

Hearing this, Qin Lang looked again at the two talented men and women in front of him. He didn't expect such good luck. A talented woman and a top scholar must be more than enough to manage the Leisure Square.

"I didn't expect to be the number one scholar. No wonder the talented man and the beautiful woman are so well matched. Then I won't say much. I will go back and clean up now. I will go back to the Leisure Square with me. I have something to say first. I will teach you foreign languages, and you will manage the Leisure Square for me." ,how?"

Wang Shuo and his wife next to him looked at each other, and after receiving affirmative glances, they straightened their bodies and saluted Qin Lang, the officer: "My lord, Wang Shuo is willing to do the work of a dog and a horse."

PS: This single chapter and the previous single chapter by Li Chenmei are loyal readers who hope to fulfill their wishes or make up for their regrets with guest missions. (If it suits you, pull the author out and kill him to add to the fun. If it doesn’t suit you, the author will not admit that it was written by him.)

The new year is over, and the author's initial promise of explosive updates has also been fulfilled. There is a high probability that there will only be two chapters updated due to work reasons.

Here, I wish you all success in your studies, success in your career, success in your work, and prosperity in the Year of the Rabbit!

Chapter 0214

After all, Wang Shuo and his wife lived in poverty, but they were full of happiness.

This time I met Bole again, and soon packed up the little house on Sparrow Street.

It wasn't until evening that everyone returned to Kanglefang, and Qin Lang also arranged for Wang Shuo to enter a vacant small courtyard.

Qin Lang wrote down the phonetic symbols and basic grammar on paper before going to bed, and taught Wang Shuo how to recognize letters and phonetic symbols from the early morning of the next day.

Wang Shuo has a very high talent in language, and Qin Lang basically repeats it once or twice, and he can make inferences from one instance.

At the end of the day, Wang Shuo was able to read unfamiliar words through phonetic symbols, and also mastered the use of dictionaries.

Then it was up to Wang Shuo to do the research by himself, and Qin Lang basically couldn't help much.

Qin Lang specially called Ergouzi and Lizheng, and arranged for Wang Shuo to coordinate and manage the development of Kanglefang in the future. When he was away, Wang Shuo would manage it on his behalf.

Wang Shuo has no complaints about this, managing a workshop is just a matter of little effort.

After completing these tasks, Qin Lang had to leave Longcheng, because after another night, the battle against Liangzhou and Dingzhou would start.

At this time, Qin Lang had to appear in front of a certain battlefield to boost morale.

But before going back, Qin Lang told Ye Qingxuan to leave Longcheng to find him in Xianyang, Qinzhou, and he had a new arrangement.
