Daming: Me!The auspicious beast unicorn of the old Zhu family

Chapter 131 The Kirin Secret Treasure Opens!Three Secret Treasures Here!
Shen Wansan, the year of birth and death is unknown.

The original name was Shen Fu, and some people said it was Shen Xiu, with the word Zhongrong and the name Wanshan. People called him "Shen Wansan".

It is recorded in history that he helped the businessman Lu Daoyuan manage his finances and obtained huge sums of money. Afterwards, he became active in various commercial trades and quickly became the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River with "assets of tens of millions and land all over the world".

According to historical records and the judgment of experts, Shen Wansan should have passed away at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and it is impossible to live to the Ming Dynasty.

However, stories about Shen Wansan can be found in various official and unofficial histories of the Ming Dynasty, which has caused a lot of confusion for future generations.

At this time, if the people of future generations know that Shen Wansan is the one who awakened the Qilin blood, they will understand why an old man who should have had his braids in the Yuan Dynasty can leave so many legends in Daming...

"Father?" Shen Wansan immediately reacted when he heard Zhu Xi's words: "Could it be that the three are the current princes?"

Little Zhu Di immediately replied: "That's right, I am the Fourth Prince Zhu Di, and the two of them are my second and third brothers!"

"Since you know our identities, why don't you take the initiative to retreat and dedicate the Qilin secret treasure to us?!"

Little Zhu Di thought that Shen Wansan would obediently leave after he declared himself the name of the royal family.

However, Shen Wansan replied with righteous words: "Your Majesty's words are wrong."

"You and I are both people who have awakened the Qilin blood. Since we have also sensed the Qilin secret treasure, we naturally have the right to compete fairly."

"I believe that when Lord Qilin Xia gave us Qilin blood, he would not divide us into three, six, or nine classes."

Hearing this, just as little Zhu Di was about to continue to argue, he heard a voice coming from the entrance of the cave.

"Shen Wansan's words are reasonable. Since everyone has sensed this unicorn treasure, they are all destined to this treasure, and they should compete fairly."

"Zhu Bing, Shen Wansan, you two can come in."

This voice is Qilin Xia!

Qilin Xia even spoke up, Zhu Xi naturally didn't dare to object, even though he scolded Shen Sanwan's eighteen generations in his heart, he could only enter the cave with him and compete fairly.

Just as Zhu Po and Shen Wansan entered the cave, the entrance of the cave was instantly closed, the glow of the sun just now disappeared completely, and no sound was heard anymore.

"Second brother, can we do something to help third brother?"

Little Zhu Di pouted and asked.

"Master Qilin Xia has said so, so we can only compete fairly."

"Everything depends on the third brother himself..."

Although Zhu Xi said so on the lips, in fact, the thoughts in his heart at the moment are completely different.

If Zhu Biao really lost to Shen Wansan, he would tell Comrade Zhu about it.

And with Comrade Zhu's temper, you, a small businessman, dare to rob things from my royal family?
I'm afraid it's too long for my life, right?

If you don't give it, you will be killed!

Not afraid?
Then I will kill you nine clans!
There's no way, but any normal person doesn't like "Nine Races"...

On the other side, Zhu Bian and Shen Wansan, who had already entered the cave, looked at everything in front of them in great surprise.

In front of the two of them were three stone platforms.

On the three stone platforms, there are naturally three unicorn treasures.

A scroll engraved with the seal of a unicorn that exudes crimson light.

Simple but exquisite, engraved with a token of a jackrabbit.

And a very textured stone shining with black crystal light.

Of the first two, Zhu Po naturally knew what they were, but it was the last stone that made Zhu Po very curious.

Zhu Po only felt that this stone was somewhat similar to Comrade Zhu's unicorn shadow stone. Could it be another unicorn shadow stone?
Not to mention Shen Wansan on the other side, it was the first time he saw the unicorn treasure, and the inexplicable horror in his heart made him unable to close his mouth for a long time...

"Okay, although this appearance is just a phantom of this seat, it is also very tiring after so much work, okay?"

"Since both of you are awakened because of the way of business, then for the sake of fairness, I will ask some business-related questions in the form of question and answer sheets, and the final scores of the two of you will determine the ownership of this unicorn secret treasure. .”

Hearing this, Shen Wan was overjoyed, while Zhu Bing was full of sadness.

Although it is said that Zhu Xie awakened Qilin blood because of the way of business, he has never really been in business.

Shen Wansan, on the other hand, is just the opposite. He has been in the business world for nearly a hundred years, and he has been immersed in business for many years, and he is familiar with various business skills.

Comparing this with Shen Wansan, isn't that an egg hitting a rock, courting death?

However, since Qilin Xia opened his mouth, the dust has already settled, and it is absolutely impossible to compare it with something that Zhu Bing is good at.

"Oh..." Zhu Yan sighed deeply, but what he thought in his heart was: "Damn it, if I really lose, I will go back and tell Comrade Zhu, and let him snatch it from you Shen Wansan again." return!"

I have to say that the thinking of the three brothers is really "not a family, don't enter a family"!
When Qilin Xia raised his fore hoof, a ray of sunlight flashed by, and then a pair of pens and paper appeared in the hands of Zhu Xie and Shen Wansan out of thin air.

"Okay, now I'm asking the question, you two just need to write the answer in your heart on the paper."

After saying that, I saw a flash of light shaking in the space in front of the two of them, and then those lights gathered together and turned into words one by one, just like a virtual screen, appearing on the screen of Zhu Xi and Shen Wensan. before.

[Who is the ancestor of business known as "Ancestor of Shang", and why did he contribute so that he was called "Ancestor of Shang"? 】

[A. Wang Hai, created a precedent for China's commercial trade. 】

[B. Wang Mang, selling royal utensils to common people. 】

[C. Wang Xizhi, sell calligraphy and painting to the first pot of gold. 】

[D. Wang Jianlin, gave birth to a principal Wang to promote the economic cycle]

[Please write the correct answer within 1 minutes. 】

Looking at the first question, Zhu Bing couldn't help feeling a little dazed. This question is too simple, isn't it?Even though he had never been in business before and had heard of the name "Shang Zu", he naturally chose the answer A without hesitation.

Similarly, Shen Wansan naturally knew the answer, so he also chose A.

Both Zhu Xi and Shen Wansan answered the first question correctly.

This question is too simple, and neither of them has any special feelings.

Wang Hai, a native of Shangqiu, Henan, created a precedent for commercial trade in China. He is known as the ancestor of Chinese merchants and the first "Ancestor of Shang".

Qilin Xia glanced at Zhu Bian and Shen Wansan, but did not speak, and the words on the virtual screen changed into the second question.

[Wang Hai pioneered commercial trade and was called the "Shang Zu". At that time, he tamed cattle and horses to develop production, but why did he choose to use ox carts instead of horse carts to pull goods for trading? 】

[A. Bullock carts are slower than horse carts. Wang Hai is slow and likes to go slower. 】

[B. The speed of the carriage is too fast, it is easy to damage the goods and cause losses. 】

[C. Cattle are cheaper than horses, and using cattle can greatly reduce costs. 】

[D. "Shang Zu" Wang Hai likes cattle more than horses, and has a special liking for cattle. 】

As soon as they saw the second question, both Zhu Bian and Shen Wansan immediately focused their attention on answer B and answer C.

Answer A said that slow people like to be slower, that is pure nonsense!
In ancient times, communication was not as developed as in the later generations. Poor information means that later generations are more valuable. Although the ox carts are not much slower than horse-drawn carts, merchants are always as fast as they can. How could anyone like to go slower?

Therefore, both of them deleted the first answer without hesitation.

Both answer B and answer C have some truth, and it seems that they are both right.

But at this time, there is only one answer for multiple choice questions.

After struggling for a long time, Shen Wansan finally chose the answer C.

Because he felt that horse-drawn carts were indeed bumpier than bullock carts, but different goods could be protected by different packaging and storage methods, so damage to the goods was not justified.

So after removing answer B, only answer C is more in line with business reason.

In fact, Zhu Bing also planned to choose the answer C at the beginning, but at the last second of submitting the answer, a flash of inspiration flashed in Zhu Bing's mind, and he suddenly thought of a truth that Comrade Zhu had told him before.

Comrade Zhu once told him that if you are faced with several choices at the same time, and the effects of two choices are similar, then you should not choose them.

Comrade Zhu also used an example of a war to explain why in detail. Unfortunately, at that time, Zhu Bian's mind went awry, and he didn't remember the specific examples later, but he suddenly remembered this sentence of Comrade Zhu.

So, one second before submitting the answer, Zhu Bing gritted his teeth and changed the answer to D.

Immediately afterwards, the results displayed on the virtual screen surprised both Zhu Bian and Shen Wansan!
[Correct answer, D. 】

[Congratulations to Zhu Xi for making the right choice. 】

Shen Wansan was stunned. He didn't understand why the answer to this question was D?Even if it is B, he can accept it, but D, he can't accept it!

Therefore, Shen Wansan asked with a dissatisfied face: "Master Qilin, I protest!"

"How could the answer to this question be D? What's wrong with the answer C?"

Seeing Shen Wansan's unconvinced face, Qilin Xia yawned and replied, "I will tell you first, why the answer to this question is D."

"Because it's a D, it's a D, and that's the truth."

"At the beginning, I asked the boy surnamed Wang personally, and he answered me personally."

"He said that the ox cart is not much slower than the horse cart, and the ox is more powerful, and can pull more goods at a time. Two trips with an ox are worth three trips with a horse."

"But the most important thing is that he likes cattle."

"Then, I'll tell you why answer C is wrong."

"Don't you really think that the boy surnamed Wang has more money than he can spend, and he still cares about such a little cost?"

"Besides, the price of buying a hundred cows at a time is definitely different from buying a thousand cows at a time."

"Now, do you understand?"

Qilin Xia's explanation left Shen Wansan speechless. How could he have thought that there is such a way of solving the problem?

This made Shen Wansan couldn't help feeling that Qilin Xia was playing tricks on him, but he had no evidence...

On the other side, Zhu Xi was surprised that he was wrong? !
At this moment, Zhu Xi had a rare sincere admiration for his father from the bottom of his heart: "Old Comrade Zhu, your words are still very useful!"

This word of praise immediately caused Comrade Zhu, who was thousands of miles away, to sneez three times in a row, and scolded with a depressed face: "It must be those little bastards who are cursing us in their hearts again! Looking back, we will not beat us to death." Your asses!"

After a short period of joy, the virtual screen changed again, and a third question appeared.

[Ou Yezi, the originator of sword casting, once forged five precious swords for King Goujian of Yue, and three famous swords for King Chu Zhao. Please write down the names of these eight famous swords. 】

"puff--!"

Seeing the third question, Shen Wansan spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and asked Qilin Xia Xuying with a depressed face: "My lord, aren't you going to take a question related to business?"

"Why did you ask about casting swords?"

Qilin Xia glanced at Shen Wansan impatiently: "Why do you have so many questions?"

"It's just nonsense questions."

"Anyway, you are also the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River. Have you been doing business for nothing for so many years?"

"The so-called commercial way is a combination of masters. It is not the exclusive art of Confucianism, military way, ink way, etc."

"If you want to be proficient in business, you have to have an understanding of astronomy, geography, essays and anecdotes. Otherwise, how do you judge the value of something you have never seen before?"

"What's more, the way of business is closely related to industry, technology, etc. Forging swords is the beginning of smelting. If you don't even know how to forge swords, are you still a wool merchant?"

Although Qilin Xia Xuying's words were rough, the truth contained in them was real.

For example, if you are a businessman engaged in the wine industry, then you should do some research on the utensils that hold wine.

Because different utensils have different tastes, they will actually affect the drinking effect of the wine.

Therefore, a successful businessman often has more knowledge in his mind.

"I've written it!"

Just when Shen Wansan was puzzled, Zhu Yan had already written down the names of the eight famous swords.

"Zhanlu, Juque, Shengxie, Yuchang, Chunjun, Longyuan, Tai'a, Gongbu."

As the prince of the Ming Dynasty, the knowledge to learn from childhood is extremely complex, among which the understanding and appreciation of famous swords must be indispensable.

Therefore, the famous sword cast by the originator of the sword is naturally required to be deeply remembered in their minds.

Although Zhu Xi is not a good student who is diligent and knowledgeable, boys are always particularly fond of swords and swords.

So although Zhu Bian didn't study other knowledge well at the beginning, he remembered all the knowledge about those famous swords that he was particularly interested in.

Although Shen Wansan had some understanding of these things, he couldn't write the names of the eight famous swords word by word, so this question was naturally answered correctly by Zhu Bing.

[The correct answer is Zhanlu, Juque, Shengxie, Yuchang, Chunjun, Longyuan, Tai'a, and Gongbu. 】

[Congratulations to Zhu Xi for making the right choice. 】

At this time, Zhu Bing was delighted to have answered the question correctly, but also suddenly understood the painstaking efforts of old Comrade Zhu.

Before answering the questions today to compete for the secret treasure of the unicorn, Zhu Xi thought from the bottom of his heart that it is useless to learn so many things by himself, and not all knowledge can be used, so, as long as you learn something you are interested in and can use The above knowledge is enough.

However, today's experience told him that learning more knowledge does not mean that it must be useful or can be used, but that when you suddenly need this knowledge, you will not be unable to come up with something to solve the problem.

The storage of knowledge is actually to make a person's life "prepared".

"call--!"

Following a sound, the virtual screen shook again, and then the fourth question appeared.

When Shen Wansan saw it, he couldn't help rolling his eyes again.

[Lu Ban is the originator of craftsmen, any of the following items are created by Lu Ban. 】

[A. Saw, curved ruler, ink fountain, ladder, graphite. 】

[B. Saw, curved ruler, ink fountain, ladder, wooden horse. 】

[C. Saw, curved ruler, ink fountain, ladder, Martin. 】

[D. Saw, curved ruler, ink fountain, ladder, oil rub. 】

Needless to say, as a qualified businessman, one must have some knowledge of artisans.

But this time, Shen Wansan was not the only one who stared blankly, Zhu Bian also had no way of doing it and knew nothing about it.

He is very interested in the sword Zhu Xie, but Zhu Xie just can't arouse the slightest interest in the carpenter.

At this time, Zhu Bing suddenly thought of the later emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Ming Xi Zong Zhu Youxiao, whom he had seen from the unicorn scroll, known as the "Carpenter Emperor".

The scroll says that he is proficient in carpentry. If he is here, he will definitely know the answer to this question...

After thinking about it, Zhu Xie didn't have the slightest idea, so he simply didn't hesitate, and he was blinded by an answer and chose the first one.

Shen Wansan struggled until the last second, and chose answer B.

When the final result came out, the two were shocked again.

Zhu Bing was actually wrong!

[Correct answer, A. 】

[Congratulations to Zhu Xi for answering correctly. 】

In fact, after arriving here, even if Zhu Po got the wrong answer to the last question, the unicorn treasure still belonged to him.

Because Zhu Bian got all the first four questions right, and Shen Wansan only got one right, so this last question can't change the final result.

However, Zhu Bing decided to continue answering the questions.

Because he has realized that a person must have a beginning and an end, and cannot be anticlimactic.

At this point, Qilin Xia Xuying couldn't help but nodded again and again, with appreciation in his eyes.

As for Shen Wansan, he wanted to answer another question correctly to save himself some face.

After all, a seventy-year-old man actually lost to a little doll under ten years old, and he still lost in the business competition...

Rumor has it that Shen Wansan's old face really has no place to put it...

[Who is the most successful businessman in history? 】

[A. "Shang Zu" Wang Hai]

【B. "Sage of Shang" Fan Li】

[C. "The Originator of Confucian Merchants" Zi Gong]

[D. "Wisdom Shang Zu" Bai Gui]

【E. Lu Buwei, the "giant businessman in the country"】

Seeing the last question, Shen Wansan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Because as far as the title is concerned, it finally looks a little normal.

However, when the correct answer was revealed, Shen Wansan almost vomited blood and died...
