Chapter 683: Do what you say
Bianliang in summer is very hot and lively, this is the center of the Great Song Dynasty, whether it is officials or merchants, this is the paradise in their hearts.
If you are a businessman, then it is better to visit Bianliang. There are many business opportunities out there, and it can also open your eyes to countless ways to make money.
If you are an official, then it is best to go and see Bianliang. There are countless high-ranking officials and powerful people there, but if you can attach one, your career will be extremely smooth.
It's a paradise for countless people!
Chang Er is such a farmer who yearns for heaven. He used to farm in Wenfeng Village, but later encountered a disaster, and everyone in the village was in debt. In the end, the land was confiscated, and only his family remained.
At that time, Chang Er felt that Wenfeng Village was hell, and he was struggling with a pair of children on the death line.
Until he heard a knock on the door and saw Zhao Zhongjun and Shen An at that time, they really cleaned up Chen Daguan and took him to Beijing to see the official's house.
The official family is so kind!
Chang Er missed Zhao Zhen, and couldn't help but have red circles in his eyes.
"Chang Er, come and move the goods!"
This is outside a shop, Chang Er is guarding the cart, and his employer, Yuan Xin, has just negotiated a deal.
Chang Er sighed and said, "The villain will come soon." ”
He kept moving in and out to carry goods, and by the time he was done, he was drenched in sweat.
He opened his shirt and said bitterly: "This is just made up by the eldest mother, and it will rot if it is soaked in salt." ”
Yuan Xin walked out and said, "You wait outside, and Li Yuan will go out to drink, and when you come back, you will go out of the city." ”
The so-called Li Yuanwai is the owner of this shop. Outside the staff, it is the meaning of the official, just like the later generations of people meeting outside to drink, and raising a glass is the greeting of 'a certain boss'. But in fact, everyone is either a staff member or a worker, and they don't work with the boss, it's just a title to set off their identity.
Chang Er responded, Yuan Xin threw him a few pennies, and said: "Don't say that you are treated badly, you take this money and go to buy cooking cakes to eat." ”
Chang Er took the copper coin with a smile, and a penny fell to the ground and rolled under the cart. He leaned in to find it, which made Yuan Xin laugh and scold: "It's just a penny, you are similar to a beggar, it's boring!" ”
The two of them left, Chang Er found the money, blew it and put it away, sat on the wheel happily and said, "Go back and buy some caramel for the axe......"
He hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed: "That's it, give some to the eldest mother." ”
“…… Is that Jin Fei Dan really that good? ”
"Of course it's good, one acre of land has an extra two and a half liters, do you say it's good?"
"More than two and a half liters per acre? You're not bluffing me! ”
"Bluff you, you're not human!"
Chang Er listened to these words in a daze, feeling unreliable.
"This golden fat pill was made by Shen Zhizhao, today even the king came out, and Han Xiang and them, they went to weigh outside the city together, and when they came back, Han Xiang was so happy that he fell his waist."
When Chang Er heard Shen Zhizhao, he pounced, stopped in front of the two men who spoke, and said with a sneer: "The villain dares to ask...... Shen waits for the edict...... Is that golden fat pill to be made by the edict? ”
The two men were startled by the sudden appearance of Chang Er, and they wanted to have a seizure, but they could see that he was laughing, so they held back.
The so-called reaching out and not smiling people is what it means, one of the survival wisdom of the people at the bottom.
"Of course, it is to be made by the edict, and now the practice of Jin Feidan has been posted outside the Kaifeng Mansion, and many people are listening!"
Chang Er muttered: "Two and a half liters more than one acre of land? ”
The two of them couldn't help but smile when they saw him sluggish, "Of course it's true, the people in the village behind said that they didn't take good care of this crop of wheat, so they harvested less." ”
That Zhuangzi is a powerful person, and the farmers are naturally lazy if they can, so the harvest is less.
"Yikes!"
Chang Er jumped up and said happily: "So-and-so will believe in the edict, and so-and-so will believe in the edict!" ”
When the two of them saw that he was happy, they smiled and said, "The edict also said that there are all these miscellaneous studies!" ”
"Miscellaneous?"
Chang Er said casually: "This is the knowledge to be edicted, let my son learn it in the future, and I will definitely learn it." ”
When the two men saw that he had taken it for granted, they sneered and shook their heads.
Chang Er spent money to hire someone to watch the car, and ran to the government office by himself.
“…… Everything had to be mixed together, and then covered with a broken mat or anything, and then ...... What kind of microorganisms will work as mentioned in the edict, and it will be hot inside...... Remember to turn over every once in a while......"
A few small officials took turns reading the method aloud, and if they didn't understand, they could go to the side to ask for advice.
Chang Er also followed.
There were a few small officials on the side, and Chang Er said with a sneer: "Dare to ask the officials, can hay be made?" ”
A small official first glanced at the dense paper written, and then said, "It seems to be ...... Yes, there are straw mats and hay. You're smart, don't hesitate to do it. ”
Chang Er nodded violently, turned around and ran.
He chattered about Jin Feidan's method all the way, and when he returned to the car, Yuan Xin had already returned, and said with a gloomy face: "Do you want to do it?" If you don't want to do it, get out! ”
Chang Er was startled at first, and then arched his hand: "Thank you." ”
Yuan Xin was stunned, but the words had already come out, but he didn't want to take it back, so he said with a straight face: "If you work so hard, you don't have to regret it!" ”
Chang Er said: "The villain has no regrets. ”
Yuan Xin scolded in his heart, and then said: "So the rest of the money will be paid to you." ”
This is the Great Song Dynasty, this is Bianliang, and the kind of thing that depends on wages rarely happens in the future.
After settling his salary, Chang Er bought some caramel and finally bought a piece of ink, and hurried out of the city to go home.
He walked all the way to Wenfeng Village, and it was almost dark by the time. The villagers were eating outside, and when they saw him coming back, they asked, "Chang Er, why don't you work in the city?" Don't worry, your aunt takes good care of the family! ”
Chang Er said: "There are good things! Come back to a certain house. ”
When he returned home, his daughter and aunt were cooking, and when she saw him coming back, she said timidly: "Daddy, Dalang is reading!" ”
Chang Er said happily: "It's good to know how to read!" Read it every day. ”
He took out the caramel candy, bit a small piece in his mouth and handed it to the eldest lady: "This is yours." ”
The eldest mother's eyes lit up, but she didn't dare to answer: "Daddy, I won't eat, give it to the eldest man." ”
Chang Er's eyes widened, and the eldest mother quickly picked it up, and then said, "Daddy, I'll cook." ”
"Go, go, go!"
Chang Er was in a very good mood, and the villagers came later.
"It's narrow at home, let's talk outside."
The outside is spacious, and Chang Er talked about what he encountered in the city today......
“…… Someone asked a certain person before, saying why he didn't come back from working in the city, and he thought, this acre of land can be more than two and a half liters, why is he still working as a coolie in the city? ”
The villagers were stunned for a moment, and someone said: "Last year, I heard about it, saying that someone used what pill to charge a few more than two buckets, and at that time I didn't believe it, and I thought that this pill was too powerful, and I was afraid that it was fake......
"It's fake, right? Last year, someone said that Dan was good, and asked X to follow suit, but X didn't agree......"
Wenfeng Village is on the periphery of Bianliang, not far away. Last year, when Jin Feidan expanded to the periphery of Bianliang, they were at the very edge and were not affected.
"At that time, so-and-so said that it was impossible."
It's like an old driver who has driven a car all his life, and suddenly someone told him that there is a kind of car with a speed of 600 kilometers per hour. The point is that the car is easy to build and is becoming popular......
Do you believe it?
They didn't believe it and now regret it.
"Chang Er, is it true? Don't lie to us! ”
"Yes. If you lie to us, you won't be able to collect so much ...... next year."
"It's not a trivial matter! Then Jin Feidan also has to find a lot of things! It's not a lot of money, but it takes a lot of work, if it's fake......"
Chang Er raised his head and said: "If it's fake, I will compensate you!" ”
An old man frowned and said, "Chang Er, are you crazy?" Do you know that if these people in the village want you to pay compensation, it is not enough for you to sell your eldest mother. ”
"Daddy......"
Chang Er was about to refute, but heard his daughter's voice. He looked back and saw his daughter standing timidly in the door, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Daddy, I'll work, don't sell my ......"
Chang Er wanted to get angry, but looking at this face that was very similar to his deceased wife, his heart was sour, and he said: "Daddy won't sell you, let you marry a good family in the future." When your brother is good at studying, let him support you......"
Those tear-filled eyes were full of disbelief, and then there was a look of joy.
"Let's go cook."
"Okay."
When the eldest lady left, her steps were obviously a little brisker.
Chang Er turned around, his eyes were full of determination: "If it's fake, a certain compensation!" ”
"You're crazy!"
The old man saw that the villagers around him were rejoicing, so he scolded: "Who gave you the benefit to say good things about this golden fat pill? Stupid! ”
The villagers want to get it, but they still have some doubts, if there is Chang Er as a guarantee, then what are the doubts!
Some of the villagers sneered: "What is not compensated, it just takes some time." ”
Chang Er said: "A certain compensation! ”
The old man sighed, "You're crazy today, that's it, everyone is gone." ”
Everyone turned around and prepared to go back to their respective homes......
This is good intentions, but Chang Er said: "This matter is Shen Zhizhao!" ”
In an instant, the villagers all stopped and turned around, and someone asked, "Is it really waiting to be edicted?" ”
The questioner was a woman holding a three-year-old child, and her eyes were filled with joy.
The old man also changed his attitude: "No fake? ”
Chang Er said: "That's right, after hearing about it, I went to the Kaifeng Mansion, and those officials were reading notices outside, saying that this Jin Feidan was the way to do it...... A certain asked, saying that it was to be made by the edict. If you don't do it, then do it! ”
He didn't know if these villagers would follow, so he said angrily: "That's it, whatever you say." ”
The woman picked up the child and said, "Let's get what you didn't say." ”
The old man walked over and slapped Chang Er in a daze, and then scolded: "I said that it was something to be manipulated, who wants you to pay for it?" ”
Chang Er smiled: "They also said that this is something in the miscellaneous studies to be edicted, and I think that in the future, I will let the axe study hard, and in the future, I will follow the edict to learn miscellaneous studies." ”
"Don't talk about miscellaneous learning, hurry up, call people, everyone from every household is called, there are good things!"
Later, the people in the village came out, and the old man pointed to Chang Er and said: "Chang Er entered the city and learned that he had made a golden fat pill to be edicted, and one acre of land could be harvested two and a half liters more, should we do it?" ”
"Is it to be edicted? Do! ”
"Do it, do it for sure!"
"How can we be where we are today without an edict? Do it, let's do it when the edict asks us to do it! ”
The old man smiled and said: "Yes, people should talk about grievances, repay kindness with kindness, and revenge with revenge, otherwise what is the difference between that and animals?" Those people, we in Wenfeng Village don't want it. ”
Chang Er appeared and said: "The year before last, you were all kicked out by Chen Daguan, if it weren't for the edict, would there be a good result?" ”
"No! If it weren't for the edict, I'm afraid we would be resettled elsewhere, and how many people would die along the way? ”
"Then Daguan Chen is powerful, the year before last he said that whoever dared to come back would break his leg, or wait for the edict to be powerful, but he broke his leg, otherwise it would be no good for us to come back, then Daguan Chen will definitely find trouble from time to time."
Chang Er said with tears in his eyes: "The year before last, the edict was really kind to a certain person, gave money and food, and let a certain meet the official family...... A certain lady was also scolded by him...... I also let a good life live, and find a good family for the eldest mother in the future......"
In the door behind her, the eldest lady stood with an earthen bowl. She stared blankly outside, tears streaming down her face......
