In the Three Kingdoms period, the opening scene features the killing of Huang Gai, shocking Zhou Yu!

It seems that no one believes it.

Zhao Yu turned his head.

"Ameng! Unpack!"

Ma Chao stepped forward.

Open the lid.

"Whoosh—"

Under the sunlight.

A whole box full of copper coins,

It blinded everyone.

"hiss--!!!"

Everyone in the pavilion gasped in shock.

Real money!

It's all real money!

Zhao Yu casually grabbed a handful of copper coins.

They were tossed back into the box with a "whoosh".

That crisp, clear sound of impact is the most beautiful sound in the world.

"The money is right here!"

Zhao Yu pointed to the box.

"Now!"

"Who's willing to get farm tools and clear the land?"

"Just put your fingerprint on the document, and you'll get half the payment in advance!"

"Four hundred coins! Cash only!"

Now.

The crowd erupted.

It completely exploded.

"Me! I'll go!"

"My lord! I'm strong! I can cultivate two acres!"

"Don't push! I was here first!"

"My lord! I'm eighty years old, can I still go?"

The villagers, who were just moments ago lifeless,

In the blink of an eye, he became a warrior on steroids.

They pushed and shoved forward one by one.

They were afraid of missing out on the money if they were even a step too late.

"Line up! Line up!"

Ma Chao had to use his broad frame to block the crowd.

"One by one! Everyone gets a share!"

Zhao Yu sat next to him.

Looking at this scene.

Holding a teapot, he was leisurely enjoying himself.

Cao Jie sat next to him and helped him grind ink (to write the contract).

I felt heartbroken as I wrote.

"My husband..."

"Isn't that incredibly wasteful?"

"Eight hundred coins per mu? Even fertile fields in Ye City aren't that expensive."

"We may have a lot of money, but we can't afford to spend it like this."

Zhao Yu took a sip of tea.

Looking at the busy crowd in the distance.

"Second Miss".

"This is not considered wasteful."

"This is called... angel investing."

"and."

Zhao Yu pointed to the villagers who were starting to run to the fields with hoes on their shoulders.

"Look into their eyes."

"It was dead just now."

"Now I'm alive."

"Money can be earned back."

"But this kind of 'spirit'."

"It's something that money can't buy."

Not far away.

Ma Chao was helping an old woman carry a hoe.

She also secretly glanced at Zhao Yu.

There was a hint of respect in his eyes.

Back then, Zhao Yu defeated him on the battlefield using strategy.

Nowadays.

And in a way he had never seen before.

They conquered this land.

"This person..."

Ma Chao shook his head.

"What a freak."

&

Of course, there's also Aya.

She is currently playing by the river with Sun Shangxiang.

Sun Shangxiang was teaching her how to use a slingshot to shoot birds.

"Why is this mountain so bare?"

Sun Shangxiang was a little bored.

She was holding a small shovel.

They were digging haphazardly in the black soil.

I want to dig up some earthworms for fishing.

"what?"

The shovel hit a hard object.

It made a crisp sound.

Sun Shangxiang dug away the soil.

It was a black, mud-like thing.

It's very light.

Pick it up,

"What is this?"

Sun Shangxiang looked at the black stone in her hand with disdain.

"carbon?"

"That's not right, charcoal is made from burning trees."

"It looks like it grew out of the ground?"

Rub your fingers together,

The fingertips were stained with a layer of fine, oily ink.

Sun Shangxiang was stunned for a moment.

My brain started working at lightning speed.

In the Han Dynasty, women often used "dai" to draw their eyebrows.

The finest snail-shell ink was a tribute from Persia, worth a fortune.

Even ordinary indigo costs several hundred yuan per box.

But this stone... Sun Shangxiang tried drawing a line on the back of her hand.

black!

So dark!

"Could this be... the legendary 'natural stone ink'?"

Although she usually practices martial arts,

Preferring military uniform to red dresses

But she is, after all, a girl.

Who wouldn't want a pair of striking, handsome eyebrows?

"Aya, come here."

Sun Shangxiang called over Aya, who was catching fish nearby, and gave her a mischievous smile that said, "Your little sister loves you."

"Don't move, let me give you the most fashionable makeup look in Ye City right now."

Aya had always lived in the village and rarely interacted with others, so how could she resist such enticement?

He tilted his head back, letting the pretty girl display her "talent" on his face.

Sun Shangxiang held that piece of black coal.

Facing Aya's forehead,

Swipe left, swipe right.

He was used to handling swords and knives, so he had a strong grip.

Once this painting started, it became a bit unstoppable.

After a while.

"alright!"

Sun Shangxiang clapped her hands in satisfaction.

Looking at his masterpiece,

He nodded:

"So cool! With those eyebrows, who dares to bully you!"

Aya didn't know what she had become.

I just felt my sister was happy.

She smiled along, revealing a set of small white teeth.

As she spoke, Sun Shangxiang drew another one for herself.

……

At the edge of the threshing ground,

Zhao Yu was boasting to Cao Jie about his grand vision for "angel investment".

For some reason, a commotion arose in the crowd.

Then,

It was a burst of suppressed laughter.

"Hahaha! Whose two little girls are those?"

"My God, are those eyebrows or two black caterpillars?"

Zhao Yu looked up.

"Husband! Look!"

"Look at my and Aya's new looks!"

Sun Shangxiang returned with Aya.

The two men were carrying several pheasants and rabbits in their hands, and also had bows and arrows on their backs.

It looks like they had a very good harvest.

But when he looked up, Zhao Yu almost jumped up.

On the faces of the two women,

A black line on the left, a black line on the right.

Especially the eyebrows, which were drawn thick and black.

Its width is comparable to Guan Yu's broadsword;

The rest of his face was also covered in black ash.

If you didn't see his face, you'd think he was Zhang Fei reincarnated.

"this……"

Zhao Yu pointed at their faces.

"You guys... went to dig coal?"

Sun Shangxiang proudly raised her chin.

He pulled a dark stone from his pocket as if presenting a treasure.

It was that lump of coal.

"Husband, please don't laugh!"

"There are good things in these mountains!"

"I've struck gold! Look at the quality!"

"This stone, though a bit dirty, is especially good for drawing eyebrows!"

"Isn't this top-quality eyebrow-drawing stone!"

"It's even blacker than the black ink used in the palace!"

And they're everywhere! If we transported them to Ye City and sold them to those noblewomen, wouldn't we make a fortune?

Although Aya couldn't speak, she was still smiling foolishly.

He pointed to his two thick, dark eyebrows.

"It's a bit hard to wash and hard to decorate."

"If you're not careful, you might end up with two worms drawn on your face, just like Aya and I did."

"I washed myself in the river for ages, but I still couldn't get it off."

Zhao Yu took the stone.

Slightly heavy to start with.

Its surface has a metallic luster.

My hands were instantly covered in a layer of black ash that I couldn't wash off.

Isn't this coal?

"Holy crap! They actually found it!"

Wasn't coal the primary material for the First Industrial Revolution?

This is like using the Imperial Seal of the State to crack walnuts!

"Shang Xiang!"

Where did you find it?

"Is there a lot of this?"

Sun Shangxiang was startled by Zhao Yu's reaction.

"It's right by the stream behind the mountain."

There are so many buried in the soil.

"Husband, do you like it? Shall I take Mengqi to dig a basketful for you tomorrow?"

"But what are you going to do with it? You don't even draw your eyebrows."
