He Da walked down the street with his burden, watching the streets become more and more prosperous on both sides, and he was in a good mood. But in a year, this place has become like this, and it is almost about to make the county more beautiful. The camp and field affairs are really much more courageous than the original county yamen.

When he arrived at the grocery store, He Da put down his burden and said to Ruan Degong, who was fiddling with the goods in front of the store: "I've seen the staff outside." I have collected some good medicinal herbs these days, and there are some horns and tendons, which are rare before, and I don't know if I can sell them at a good price. ”

Ruan Degong turned around, saw that it was He Da, waved his hand and said, "It's good that you came a few days ago, I don't accept these here." ”

He Daqi said: "Doing this business outside the staff is just a gesture. Although you can't make a lot of money, it's always good to make up for it. ”

Ruan Deli sighed: "It's not that I don't want to do it, it's that the yamen won't let me do it." I'm selling goods, and under the new rules, I can't give the Yamen to receive goods. Those who sell goods can only sell goods, and they want others to receive goods, and they don't know why. ”

He Da was stunned for a moment and asked, "Outside, which one is receiving it now?" ”

Ruan Degong said: "I heard that it is a historian's foreign family. His family found a way to raise ducks in the pond and marsh in the east, collected duck eggs, made salted eggs and Songhua eggs, and sold them to the yamen. His family supplies and also receives. ”

He Da listened and asked: "Outside, I know the salted egg, what kind of egg is the Songhua egg?" ”

Ruan Degong said: "It is a new practice from the Yingtian Yamen, using tea, lime and other things to pickle eggs, which have a unique taste, and are more perishable than salted eggs, so they can be harvested more." The historian bought a prescription and started this business. ”

He Da nodded, woke up suddenly, and hurriedly asked, "Outside the historian, which one outside the historian?" ”

Ruan Degong said: "Except for the historian you used to be a banker, which one else is there in this county?" If you have done something in his house, there is always some affection for you, and you should give a good price. In the future, doing this business is similar to selling it to my family. ”

He Da couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "They are all outsiders, but they are different from outsiders." I've heard people say that he hates his own customers leaving, and he is embarrassed from time to time, and he is not a good person to get along with. The goods are sold to his family, but I am afraid that it will not be as smooth as before. ”

Ruan Degong said: "For many years of the righteousness of the master and servant, there is always a piece of incense, how can this be so?" Just go for it. ”

He Da had no choice, so he asked Shi Yuanwai's home, picked up the burden, and walked to the east. Not far away, I arrived in front of Shi's house. His family did not have a shop, but set up a large courtyard on the outskirts of the town with a sign. He Zai didn't know how to read, and he didn't know what was written on it.

The door was open, and there were a few people inside, like He Da, who were also buying local products, squatting together and talking.

He Da entered the door, and several people greeted each other. Everyone is in this business, and they have been familiar with it for a long time.

Putting the burden on the ground, He Dadao: "Why are you gossiping here and not seeing the master's house?" ”

One said: "We've been here for more than half an hour, and the person doing things over there said that Shi Dalang didn't get up, so let's wait." ”

He Da has been in Shi Yuan's house for many years, and he knows this Shi Dalang's temperament, arrogant and domineering, and does things according to his own will. In the past, when he was in a bad mood, he would beat and scold. Now that I'm in charge of this matter, I'm afraid that everyone will no longer be as calm as before.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, the sun rose high before Shi Dalang came out of it. Holding a few loquat in his hand, he looked coldly at the people squatting in the courtyard and chatting while biting.

Seeing Shi Dalang, everyone hurriedly got up and saluted.

Shi Dalang sat on a chair, stilted his legs and said, "You are the ones who collect the goods for the mall?" From now on, all the county will come to me to sell. I don't care what you did before, you have to follow my rules when you come to me. In the future, come to me to sell goods and look at the days, I will open the door here at 135, and the rest of the days will not be open. If you dare to harass, hit it with a big stick! ”

A middle-aged man snapped his fingers and said, "Outside, today is fourteen, what should I do?" ”

Shi Dalang said: "If the rules are set, they can't be changed." Where you came from and where you are going, today I will not ask you about your sins. ”

He had many things in the family, and he was far away, so he couldn't help but be anxious when he heard it, and stepped forward and said: "Outside, my house is more than ten miles away from here, and it is inconvenient to come here." Please be kind and accept these goods, otherwise I will have no capital to collect the goods. ”

Shi Dalang glanced at He Da and sneered: "It turned out to be you cheap!" When you left my house that day to do field work, you started with it! The big family business, being troubled by you people, can no longer support it. I have a deep hatred like the sea, and I dare to come to my house to do business! Get out of here, if you provoke me, I'll peel off a layer of your skin! ”

He Dadao: "Outside the junior staff, I do this business, it is determined by the yamen, how to say that if you don't let it be done, you won't let it be done!" ”

"Alas, you dare to talk back to me!" Shi Dalang jumped up on the chair and kicked on He Da's body. "I'm here to receive the goods, isn't it ordered by the Yamen! From now on, if any of you is not to my liking, do not come to my house, and see which of you will receive you." ”

He was quick-eyed, and when he saw Shi Dalang kicking him, he hurriedly dodged and was lightly hit on the buttocks. said in his mouth: "We are helping the yamen to do things and earn some food and clothing, so why do we have to follow your wishes!" I don't believe that the yamen is so unreasonable, let's go to the yamen theory together! ”

Shi Dalang sneered: "You poor billets, do you know where the yamen is opened?" The yamen asked you to collect it, which yamen? A bunch of rammers who don't know anything dare to pout in front of me! Let me tell you clearly, it is the shopping mall that collects these things, the place where you do business, and the yamen does not care what you do! ”

When they heard this, they looked at each other. They couldn't tell the difference between the commercial behavior of the shopping mall and the official behavior of the yamen, and they couldn't tell the difference between the Changping Si yamen and the Yingtian yamen. In short, it is an official matter, and someone from the government can always be found to be responsible.

Shi Dalang just sneered and said, "How much money can you collect in a year?" Do you know how many duck eggs I sell in the mall a year? You rags are just a drop in the bucket compared to the money my family sells! Collect your goods, I help the mall to do things, and earn some change for you to use! Heartless things, ungrateful and ungrateful, make trouble with me! ”

A man said: "In the past, Ruan Yuanwai did this, but it wasn't like this......"

Shi Dalang said angrily: "Can it be the same, can it be the same!" He bought the goods from the mall to sell, and I sold them to the mall! ”

Where do these men know what the shopping mall is, and what kind of business Ruan Yuanwai and Shi Yuanwai are doing, they don't dare to make a sound when they hear it.

As soon as Shi Dalang raised his head, he suddenly saw the sun in the sky, and couldn't help sneezing. Waved impatiently: "Get out, get out, get out of here!" It's not the days that will come in the future, I'll let people fight out! I have a lot to do here, don't stand idle in my house! ”

He Da was helpless, and as everyone picked up the burden, he went out of the door of the Shi family. The sun was shining brightly, the flowers on the side of the road were blooming, and a few dogs were chasing not far away. A few people stood in the middle of the road, at a loss, not knowing what to do. A small business, doing well, earning some money to supplement the family, how did it suddenly become like this? What happened to the poor? Poor people can't make money? Ruan Yuanwai did a good job, why did he change the historian to do it?
