Chapter 2491: Chapter 2488: The Idea

“Sis, you help sell these women’s items, then I’ll set up an auction myself and sell things for men.”

“What have you prepared that men like?” Chu Ziluo now doesn’t think the things Chu Jin brought back are useless. On the contrary, he always has quirky ideas that surely make people like them once they hear about them.

“Hehe, look at this divine artifact, how about it?” Chu Jin grinned smugly and took out a telescope from a wooden box.

Handing it to Chu Ziluo to look at.

“This is…” Chu Ziluo was guided on how to use it, and once she saw things far away clearly, she was a bit shocked. She immediately put it down and looked at Chu Heng: “Dad, look quickly.”

As she spoke, she handed the telescope to him.

Chu Heng recognized the telescope as soon as he saw it. He was amazed that his son had the ability to obtain it, considering that even overseas, the quantity of such items was limited.

Of course, with his current memory, he also knew the manufacturing principle. Previously they had a gold mountain that couldn’t be used; now with these overseas items, it is a great opportunity.

Chu Heng calmly took it, raised it to look through it correctly, and soon put it down: “It’s a fine item, suitable for placing in the military camp, and can detect enemy situations in advance.”

“Dad, we certainly cannot keep this thing to ourselves,” Chu Ziluo said rationally.

Seeing them so serious, Chu Jin scratched his head and said: “If we can’t keep it, we should give it to the Emperor. This way, once the Emperor accepts my gift, he’ll have to protect me somewhat. I want these items I brought back to sell at a high price, and I’ll need the Emperor’s support behind the scenes; otherwise, if the nobles bid and don’t pay silver, I can’t exactly go knocking on their doors, can I.”

“Since you’ve made up your mind, follow your plan,” Chu Heng glanced deeply at Chu Jin, understanding his disposition. Although a bit scatterbrained, he isn’t unintelligent, so there’s no need to worry too much.

“Dad, this time I brought back not only this telescope, but also a Western clock. It’s incredible, and not cheap. It’s much more accurate than our usual sundial, able to count the hour to every breath,” Chu Jin said, standing up and having the servant boy bring in a long wooden box.

The box was heavy, covered in dust, not looking like anything worthwhile.

Chu Jin approached, unlocked the large lock, revealing a pile of straw.

Chu Ziluo came closer, got some dust on her clothes, quickly stepped back two paces, waving her hand, “Big brother, what is this, packed so crudely, aren’t you afraid it’ll get damaged?”

“Sis, you just don’t get it. When sailing the seas, we just need to endure the storms, but back in Great Chu, those bandits who know we maritime merchants bring back good stuff, can easily snatch up such a big chunk of meat? So I deliberately put the items in a shabby wooden box. If we really encountered those people, the chances of protecting it are much greater.”

“Fortunately, I was lucky this time, with mother and father sending people to support us. Those bandits were no match for us.”

“However, while stopping at an inn for tea and water on the road, we were almost poisoned,” Chu Jin scratched his head, evidently not taking the incident seriously: “But the guards were very capable and discovered it early, so I was unharmed. As for those thieves, they directly committed suicide; they were bandits from the mountain.”
