Wang Dayou also hurriedly echoed, "We are godbrothers, and this is my godbrother. Last year, there was a flood in my hometown, and unfortunately my parents passed away, so I came to look for my godbrother..."
Wang Dayou and Balabala also talked a lot. Xu Da was afraid that he would reveal his lies too much, so he quickly took over the words. The two of them sang in harmony, and there was no problem with adding the yellow book. After the official collected the toll, he waved his hand and let them go.
.
Since ancient times, salt and iron have been a hugely profitable industry. Bohai County is close to the sea and has rich salt mineral resources. Compared with Hejian County, it is even more prosperous.
Now it is just a small county town on the outskirts of Bohai County. It seems to be more prosperous than Hejian County Office, with a huge flow of people.
However, the family's final destination was to arrive at the port and take a boat. They only stayed in this county for two days to dispose of the money they took from the robbers before continuing eastward.
All the old linen brought from the robbers were sold into fine coins, and then exchanged for gold cakes at the bank. Although there was some loss, I still got a pound of gold in exchange for eight small gold cakes weighing two taels.
easy to carry.
As for the harvest of the three Xu Yue brothers and sisters, Xu Da and Wang did not care about them and left the three children to their own devices.
Xu Erniang's share was used by her to buy many weird gadgets.
Xu Dalang earned the most, leaving only a small portion to buy a few pieces of raw beef to satisfy his craving. The rest was handed over to Xu Yue for safekeeping, generously saying that Xu Yue could use it as he pleased without asking him.
With her brother's share, plus Xu Yue's own share, she had nearly 10,000 yuan in hand, a real huge amount of money.
Xiao Junmei, who only knocked out one robber and received a hundred dollars, was shocked when she saw Xu Yue converting all the money into gold cakes, which amounted to a small handful.
Having learned arithmetic, she counted on her fingers, and her eyes widened with shock. She could buy another big green cow!
Wang Dayou noticed his daughter's surprise and envy. He rubbed his daughter's little head in a funny way, took out a handful of money from his arms and asked her to buy candied haws and eat it with his brother.
In the past, the family situation was not good, and he was reluctant to buy candy for his child all year round. But when he gave him a kang in Hejian, he saved a lot of money, and his hands were loose. He also wanted to imitate the Xu family.
, indulge the child a little.
Especially after seeing that Xu Erniang spent nearly 2,000 yuan to buy a bunch of messy gadgets, but Wang and Xu Da did not scold her at all, Wang Dayou felt that such a well-behaved child should be rewarded more.
Xu Erniang, who was innocently lying at gunpoint, shrugged and disagreed with Wang Dayou's superficial view.
These are not just random things, they are all kinds of minerals and metal materials that she has never seen before. Once she studies these things thoroughly, it will only take a matter of minutes to copy them.
So, what she calls early investment is not some messy thing!
Xu Yue silently watched her sister and Wang Dayou secretly compete with each other, shook her head and laughed silently, then immersed herself in the research room and bought some of her belongings with satisfaction.
If according to Daqing's asset class classification, assets between 30,000 and 50,000 yuan are considered middle class, then with their total assets now exceeding 30,000 yuan, they have already entered the middle class in Daqing.
This includes more than 1,000 kilograms of grain reserves, a fixed asset of an oxcart (9,000 yuan), and cash flow (gold cakes and cloth) of 30,000 yuan.
This is not counting her own small treasury of thousands of dollars.
I took out a bottle of pepper and sold it for a lot of money. After buying a big green ox and a car, there was still 8,000 yuan left. Aniang returned part of it to her and kept another part for daily life.
Therefore, if circumstances did not force the need to leave Hejian County, the family would be able to leave the slums in the north of the city and live in a civilian area in the west of the city in the spring of this year.
It's a pity that fate has played a trick on people, and now they have to leave their hometown again and go to the next unknown place.
But this kind of exile is the main theme in these troubled times.
Along the way, there are countless refugees on the road. Due to various natural and man-made disasters, the population has been lost seriously, resulting in serious land waste, which has affected a country's tax situation. If this vicious cycle continues, it is only a matter of time before the building collapses.
If a wise master appeared in this world, it would be more difficult to save such a tragedy than to reach heaven.
On the way, Wang saw these abandoned farmlands and scattered people, and asked Xu Yue, what should be done if she wanted to solve the country's problems?
Xu Da shook his head secretly, this woman really never misses any opportunity to teach.
Facing A Niang's serious inquiry, Xu Yue did not dare to be careless. After thinking carefully, she answered:
"No one can save it unless the existing solidified classes are broken, a new order is re-established, and the existing resources of society are redistributed."
Wang nodded and motioned for her to continue.
Xu Yuedao: "If the current trend continues, the gap between the rich and the poor will only get wider and wider. When the last few benefits of the people at the bottom are taken away by the rich, it will cause a violent resistance."
"At that time, the entire society will fall into real chaos, and everyone is eager to reshuffle the cards at the card table to achieve a jump. This is like a huge gamble, and these exploited people are like those who have nothing and risk everything.
gambler."
"Compared with the rich, they only have one life left, and precisely because they only have one life, they are willing to give up this life in exchange for greater benefits."
"The worst thing is, it's just death!"
Speaking of this, Xu Yue frowned and sighed: "There is really a way to extend the life of this dynasty, and that is to rectify the refugees, plan the land, and let them return to their original positions and continue farming and raising silkworms.
Continuously give blood to this dynasty."
"However, everyone is busy trying to gain more benefits for themselves, so who has the heart to do these things to appease the people?"
Xu Da, who had been listening for a long time, suddenly interrupted: "If you ask me, they are just a bunch of short-sighted rats. They can only see the present but not the future."
"What we have to do now is to find a safe place to avoid this troubled world and spend the rest of our lives peacefully."
For example, he could find a place to live in seclusion in the mountains, practice meditation, or something like that. When he wakes up from seclusion, time has passed and this troubled world has long since ended.
In the eyes of practitioners, this brief moment of time for mortals is fleeting and not worth paying attention to.
Wang glanced at Xu Da, her fists loosened and then tightened, but she still couldn't hold back and slapped him.
"Xu Qingyang, I think you are drifting off again. You just got two taels of money and you can't recognize who you are! How dare you shirk your responsibilities and go into hiding in some forest?"
Try it or die!
Xu Da covered the back of his head and was about to cry, "I just want to practice Taoism. What's wrong? What's wrong! I'm eating your rice!"
Mrs. Wang raised her bow and arrow, "What did you say?"
Xu Da immediately raised his hands in a gesture of surrender: "I was wrong, my thinking has declined, I will reflect on it!"
The three Xu Yue brothers and sisters looked at their father who always wanted to evade his responsibilities as a loving father. They all said "嘁~" in disdain without even looking at him.
Wang Dayou's family silently watched the Xu family's domestic violence scene, and helplessly cast sympathetic glances at Xu Dayou.
