Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

"In this way, warships can have higher flexibility and stronger adaptability! Speed, wind resistance and a series of other things will change accordingly. It can be said that this is a qualitative transformation!"

Jiang Kun looked at the crude sailboat model on the ground with bright eyes, as if he had found a treasure!
"No! I have to study it carefully!"

Jiang Kun became more and more fascinated by what was happening. He walked straight to the other room as if no one was there, muttering to himself.

"Grandpa! Wait for me!"

Jiang Yan on the side was a little confused.

What happened to Grandfather? Why was he so obsessed? What kind of magic potion did Li Kuan feed him?

"Yes! I understand too! It is actually like this! If such a warship is built, its combat power will naturally be impressive!"

"Your Majesty is truly a genius! How did he come up with such a change? It may seem like just adding a mast, but it is actually a qualitative change!"

"Your Majesty, you are truly a god!"

For a moment, people in the crowd kept having expressions of sudden realization on their faces, and it was obvious that they knew other secrets.

They all knew that Li Kuan had the potential to be a great commander!

His prestige among the people is even greater than that of Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty!

But they don't know,

Li Kuan’s attainments in shipbuilding are also so high!
Those present were all the top craftsmen of Dayan, but they knew that it was impossible for them to create such an unprecedented creation!
Li Kuan's expression did not change when he heard this, and he walked towards where Jiang Kun was.

He pushed the door open and found old man Jiang Kun frantically fiddling with wooden boards and rags, seemingly unaware of his arrival.

"Mr. Jiang, I'm going to go back first. The construction of the three-masted sailing ship is up to you."

After watching for a while and finding that the old man had no intention of paying attention, he said unhappily.

"Yeah...you go back! Oh, and remember to close the door!"

Jiang Kun's eyes were sharp, and he showed no intention of raising his head.

The simple model on the ground seemed to have infinite magic, attracting all his attention.

"Forehead"

Li Kuan shook his head and didn't bother him anymore.

"His Majesty."

Jiang Yan, who was standing aside, gradually became absorbed in watching Li Kuan's receding figure.

She wanted to see Li Kuan clearly through the mist, but found that she couldn't see him clearly.

After leaving the Gewuyuan, Li Kuan went straight back to the Du Mansion.

………………

Yanyun City, in a workshop in the north of the city.

"Butler Cui, these things are so delicate, can they be completed in such a short time?"

In the workshop,
A worker complained to a man who looked like a butler in front of him. That man was Cui Jin!
After Cui Jin got the blueprint, the first thing he did was to gather the craftsmen and rush to make the bicycle.

At present, Yanyun City,
The demand for bicycles has reached a peak. If the first batch of bicycles were put on sale in Yanyun City, it would definitely cause a sensation!

Strike while the iron is hot!
Cui Jin doesn't want to miss out on this popularity!

"I'll give you the processing money! You can get it done within two days. We only need ten!"

Cui Jin said very generously that he just wanted to get the finished product out as soon as possible.

"Okay! I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

They say money makes the world go round. Upon hearing that, the man's brows relaxed and he grinned.

Two days passed quietly.

Guo Shoujing was still stepping up the deployment of grain depots and the transportation of grain and grass, while Jiang Kun was developing warships.

Li Kuan had nothing to do, so he just stayed at home like a salted fish.

Eat, sleep, and play with the little loli!

this day,

Li Kuan was still lying in the backyard sunbathing when Cui Jin, looking excited, walked in.

"Son-in-law! There is good news!"

Thinking of the ten bicycles that had been made in a hurry, Cui Jin felt happy as if he had seen a lot of silver.

"What good news? Aren't you going to take care of the bicycle issue?"

Li Kuan took off the cucumber on his face and looked at Cui Jin.

"That's exactly it! Son-in-law, the ten bicycles have been prepared! In addition, I have already bought a shop in the most prosperous street in Yanyun City to sell bicycles.

As he spoke, Cui Jin had already foreseen the scene where the Du family would make a fortune because of this!
"Selling in a store? Why don't you just auction it? The highest bidder wins!"

Li Kuan sat up, stretched and then said.

"Also, I will bring Xiao Yuanyuan to the auction. You can also use my name to invite Qin Huaiyu and his gang over. They are the best choice to act as agents!"

He suddenly thought of something and said with a smirk on his face.

Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaiyu and the other guys are the typical young masters, second generation officials and second generation rich people in Yanyun City!

"Looking for someone to act as a shill?"

Cui Jin was stunned for a moment and looked at Li Kuan with a strange look in his eyes.

The young masters and young ladies in Yanyun City are all wealthy! The most important thing is that they care a lot about their face in front of their peers!
If someone came out during the auction and bid against them, wouldn't the bicycle be driven up to a sky-high price? !

"In that case, it would be best if Xiao Yuanyuan could invite Princess Changle as well!"

Cui Jin seemed to have his Ren and Du meridians opened up by Li Kuan.

"Your Majesty, Princess Changle is a living signboard, a free living signboard, it would be a waste if we don't use it!"

"Hahaha, Lao Cui you are really too mean..."

Another three days passed quickly.

Just three days ago, the housekeeper Cui Jin of the Du Mansion announced that the Du Mansion would hold an auction at "Bao Zhai" on the most prosperous street in Yanyun City.

The item for auction is the bicycle that is coveted by the young men and women from wealthy families in Yanyun City!
As soon as this news came out, all the young men and women in Yanyun City were extremely excited, and they all prepared enough money and waited for the auction to come!

"Sister Yuan, are you okay? Why does it take you so long to change clothes?"

Outside Xiao Yuanyuan's boudoir, Li Kuan sat on a stone bench, waiting impatiently.

"Does it mean that I have to wait two hours before going out? Is this a common problem for all women since ancient times?"

Seeing no response from Xiao Yuanyuan's room, Li Kuan couldn't help but mutter.

"Coming! Coming!"

With a creak, the door was pushed open and Xiao Yuanyuan slowly walked out from the inner room.

"Wow, Sister Yuan, you look so beautiful today!"

Li Kuan, who was originally getting a little impatient, couldn't help but be dazzled when he saw Xiao Yuanyuan's outfit today.

More importantly, that chubby little face is so rosy that anyone who sees it would want to pinch it a few times!

"Hate it! You stinky brother-in-law! If you pinch me again I'll get angry!" Xiao Yuanyuan pushed Li Kuan's dirty hands away and said angrily.

"Um... Sister Yuan, we are just going to the auction, why are you dressed so beautifully?"

Li Kuan was a little curious. Normally, Xiao Yuanyuan wouldn't pay attention to these things. How could the little fat boy who was holding a big chicken leg and running around with grease in his mouth pay attention to these things?
"Sister Changle will also be here today, and we agreed to dress up beautifully."

On the other side, in a street market in Yanyun City, there was a crowd of people in front of the treasure house.

The huge treasure room was already packed with people!

They are all the young masters and ladies of Yanyun City! And the fathers behind them!

"Look! That's Princess Changle! She's here too!"

"Of course! The second young lady of the Du family has a very good relationship with Princess Changle!"

Outside the gate, Princess Changle walked in surrounded by a group of palace maids and sat down in an excellent position upstairs.

"Hey, Chu Mo! Can't you be quicker? Soon everyone will grab all that stuff!"

Outside the gate, another group of people walked in. They were Qin Huaichou and a group of other playboys.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Hasn't this started yet?"

Cheng Chumo rolled his eyes at him and stepped in.

"Chu Mo, these are things for us young people, why is your father here too?"

Qin Huaiyu suddenly looked behind him and saw Cheng Yaojin following them.

"Um... my father came to give me money. Isn't this an auction? I asked him to bring more money for insurance."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Chumo smiled awkwardly, pulled a few people together, and quickly went upstairs to find a private seat to sit down.

After the group took their seats, the Baozhai was already full of people and no one came in afterwards.

It's not that there are too few young men and women from the wealthy families in Yanyun City, but Cui Jin restricted the flow of people. Those who are not qualified can't get the invitation letter he sent out! Not to mention being able to come here!
"Hey, Butler Cui Jin, when will your auction start? Why are so many of us waiting here for so long?"

Time passed by minute by minute, but the auction had not yet begun, and there was no one presiding over the auction on the podium. The crowd began to get impatient.

"Everyone, please wait a moment... The main event is about to begin. Let's first taste the delicious tea we carefully prepared for you."

Being stared at by a group of young masters, Cui Jin had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk to the front to speak to everyone.

"We're not here to drink tea. If we want to drink tea, we might as well go to a teahouse!"

"Yup!"

"..."

Some people in the crowd started to make a fuss, and the others were also slightly impatient.

Cui Jin on the other side was silent. He was also very anxious! There was already some cold sweat on his forehead!

It would be fine to let those young masters wait here, but it is different for Princess Changle and others in the elegant seats on the second floor!
If they are unhappy, Cui Jin will not be able to bear the consequences!
But Li Kuan and Xiao Yuanyuan haven't shown up yet! He can't just start like this!

Just when Cui Jin was getting overwhelmed, two figures, one big and one small, walked in.

It was Li Kuan and Xiao Yuanyuan!

"call"

Cui Jin let out a long breath. These two ancestors finally arrived.

If he doesn't come soon, he will be stared at by everyone!

"Xiao Yuanyuan! Over here! Over here!"

Princess Changle, who was sitting in the elegant seat on the second floor, saw Xiao Yuanyuan come in. She, who had been somewhat silent, suddenly became active.

"Sister Changle!"

Xiao Yuanyuan looked over in the direction of the sound and immediately saw Princess Changle upstairs. Her little face was full of joy and she couldn't wait to pull Li Kuan towards Changle.

But Li Kuan looked at the old demon himself on the other side and walked towards them.

"Xiao Yuanyuan, why are you so late? I thought you were not coming."

Changle looked at Xiao Yuanyuan with some reproach.

"Um. This... This..."

Xiao Yuanyuan felt a little embarrassed when she heard this. She couldn't say that she wasted time and went out too late, right?

"It's all my brother-in-law's fault! Yes! It's all his fault! He's the lazy pig who slept at home and refused to get up, so it's so late!"

Xiao Yuanyuan looked around and found that Li Kuan was not in front of her. She immediately came up with an idea.

"Ahh!"

Li Kuan, who had just sat down next to the old witch, sneezed, turned his head and looked over there. Xiao Yuanyuan, who was alerting him from time to time, seemed a little suspicious.

"Old devil, what brings you here? These are all toys for young people. Why are you, a rough guy who carries an axe every day, joining in the fun?"

Li Kuan withdrew his gaze and looked at Cheng Yaojin who was sitting aside with a look of anticipation on his face.

"What? You little brat, you open the door to do business and you're still picky about your customers? Why can't I come in? I have plenty of money! Can't I just buy one and ride it?"

Cheng Yaojin heard that Li Kuan was teasing him again. How could he be happy? He quickly retorted.

"With your size, aren't you afraid that the poor bicycle will fall apart if you ride it? You should go back and ride your warhorse!"

Li Kuan lay sideways on the chair, glanced at him and continued.

"you!"

Cheng Yaojin was choked and glared at Li Kuan.

"Everyone! Our auction is about to begin! Have you prepared your silver? If you haven't, you can ask someone to prepare it now! Otherwise, you will miss this great opportunity because you don't have enough silver!"

When Cui Jin saw Li Kuan and Xiao Yuanyuan take their seats, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, straightened his clothes, and strode up to the stage with his head held high.

"What are you talking about! Pull out that bicycle for us to see."

In the crowd, a little fat man waved his big elbow and said impatiently.

"Hey! How can you talk like that? There are so many people watching us!"

The father behind the fat boy knocked him on the head.

Although he has a lot of money, who among those present is not rich or noble? How can he be so rude!
"Excuse me, everyone. I was a little rude!"

The fat man stood up, bowed to Cui Jin above him, and then smiled at everyone.

"Ahem! Everyone, please be patient and listen to me carefully."

Cui Jin cleared his throat a few times to silence the noisy chatter below.

"There is a limit on the number of bicycles available for auction this time! Due to production process and cost issues, there are only ten bicycles available for the time being! But each one is a fine product, made by His Majesty himself!"

Cui Jin's voice was not loud, but it was heard very clearly by everyone present.

"What! There are only ten!"

"There are so many people here! How can we possibly get it?"
