The first thousand and twenty-four chapters slaughter a fat sheep
, to provide you with wonderful reading. It seems that he has seen mountains of gold and silver flashing before his eyes. The eyes of the businessman from Qi State flashed. He looked at the clerk and asked: "Brother Nie, look, can I also rent a room here?" Shop…”
"First come, first served, you can make a reservation after paying a deposit." The clerk looked at him and said, "It's OK today, but after a while, there may not be a place."
The businessman from Qi State immediately said: "Thank you, Brother Nie. Where to pay the deposit, I will go now!"
The household clerk waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me, it's all about good policies..."
The businessman from Qi State shook his head repeatedly: "If it weren't for you, Brother Nie, I would have been on the way to Kyoto right now. How could I have encountered such a good thing? I will give you a big thank you after I pay the deposit!"
This month's performance was still a few short, so the clerk thought for a moment and said, "If you really want to thank me, introduce me to a few more of your business friends..."
…
After paying the deposit and coming out of the registration area of the Yamen, the businessman from Qi State bowed respectfully to the clerk again and said seriously: "Thank you for your kindness. If Brother Nie needs me for anything in the future, just ask. I will I will definitely not refuse!”
"You're welcome..." The little official waved his hand and said, "Don't you want to buy cloth? I'll take you to the cloth workshop. It is said that the cloth workshop in Kyoto is the same as ours in Shuzhou. You can take a look first before talking... …”
The Qi merchant cupped his hands and said: "Okay, okay, I have to trouble Brother Nie again..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a quarrel suddenly sounded in his ears.
"You are obviously my guest, but you dare to argue with me!"
"What is your guest? Who told you to walk so slowly?"
"Your performance this month is enough, why can't you give me one?"
"Who would have trouble with money?"
…
The businessman from Qi State watched the two government servants pulling each other into the government office, looked at the clerk on the side, and asked: "Brother Nie, this is..."
The clerk waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about them, let's go our own way..."
Although it is a slack time for farming, the people of Yongxian County are living a very fulfilling life these days.
Every day before dawn, a group of five or ten men from the same village who have some strength will go to the city to build a house. They will take care of a meal at noon, which is noodles. Wen, day knot.
They can't earn more than 20 cents a day from growing crops. They have no other skills, but they have a lot of strength. They can earn 20 cents a day, and every few days they can be ruthless enough to buy a pot of wine and cut two taels of meat to eat. Open meat...
Wu Laosan is one of these people.
The reason why he is called Wu Laosan is because he is the third eldest in the family. There are two brothers in front of him. One died not long after he was born, and the other was killed by bandits more than ten years ago. He is the only one left in the old Wu family. .
Thinking of this matter, he felt a little regretful in his heart.
The second brother was not lucky enough to die early, otherwise, he would have seen a world without thieves.
It is better for His Highness King Jing to do such a great thing for the people of Shuzhou, but he is not very accurate in judging people. He found a provincial governor who was mentally ill to build shops at the gate of the city and built them in a circle...
But thinking about it carefully, if the governor had a normal mind, how could he earn twenty cents a day, and how could he have the spare money to buy Xu Fuji's candied fruits for his mother-in-law...
Therefore, it is better to find a provincial governor with a sick mind—His Royal Highness King Jing!
Speaking of my mother-in-law, she has been with him for so long and has never enjoyed any blessings. When the family was in trouble, she still made money by weaving to supplement the family income. It was really hard for her...
He took out the candied fruit he bought for ten cents today from his arms, opened the door and said loudly: "Mother, I'm back!"
A woman walked out of the room and said, "I'm back. Come in quickly. I'll cook right away."
Wu Laosan walked in, frowned and asked, "What did you do today? Why did you cook?"
The woman whispered: "Today, the cloth shop in the city is recruiting people. I asked my third aunt to accompany me to have a look..."
"Bufang is recruiting people, what are you going to do?" Wu Laosan frowned and said, "You are a woman. If you don't stay at home well, don't go out and run around all day!"
He threw a paper bag on the table and said: "For making money, we men can do it. Can you women earn twenty coins a day? These are the preserves I bought for you from Xu Fuji today. You can try them."
If you like it, I will buy it for you in a few days..."
"I know..." the woman opened the paper package and whispered.
Wu Laosan took a cold steamed bun and gnawed it, and asked casually: "By the way, how much does the cloth shop you mentioned give you a day?"
"Three hundred coins."
Wu Laosan took a bite of the steamed bun, with a stunned expression on his face. He looked at him and asked in a vague voice: "How much, three cents?"
The woman took a mouthful of candied fruit and whispered: "Everyone else is thirty cents. I showed them the cloth I weaved before. They said I was good at weaving and the flowers I made were beautiful. They asked me to teach them
If someone weaves cloth, he will give me three hundred coins a day."
Wu Laosan was stunned for a while, grabbed the kettle and drank it hard. He finally swallowed the steamed bun that he choked on. He put down the kettle, slammed the table, and said loudly: "You said you are a woman who stays here all day."
Isn’t it boring at home? If you have the chance, you should go out and see more... Where is the cloth workshop you mentioned, take me to see it tomorrow..."
"They only recruit women..."
"..."
"Don't I know they only recruit women?" Wu Laosan looked at her and said solemnly: "I'm here to check for you to see if they are cheating. You women are the easiest to be deceived...
"
"No, that's the workshop of Prince Jing's Mansion, it won't lie..."
Wu Laosan looked at her, then at the paper bag in her hand, put the cold steamed buns aside, pursed his lips, and said, "Here, let me try a piece of the candied fruit..."
…
A place of chaos.
Fang Yu put down a piece of paper and said, "Building a shop, what is this Li Yi doing?"
He looked back at the man in purple and asked, "Is the news true?"
The man in purple nodded and said: "I have asked the local people. They are going to build a shopping mall there. It is said that it will open a few years ago..."
Several envoys from the Holy Religion in charge of Shuzhou have all lost contact, which also means that they cannot contact the believers in Shuzhou. If they want to obtain information, they can only get information through local people.
Fang Yu frowned and murmured: "Why is it the West City Gate..."
"You are stupid. There are four city gates in the east, west, south and north. Only the west gate is the most useless. It is not opened all the year round. If you don't choose the west gate, why should you choose the other three?" The King of Shu walked over, looked at him and said: "
You may not know that the most powerful thing about Li Yi is not running the country, but doing business. He should be trying to make a lot of money during the Chinese New Year. Businessmen from all over the country are also trying to stay in Shuzhou.
……"
Fang Yu shook his head, "I'm just worried..."
"There is nothing to worry about." The King of Shu shook his head and said: "There are three thousand permanent troops stationed in Shuzhou, and the ones Yongxian County can mobilize are only two thousand at most. They are just a group of stragglers, and there is nothing to be afraid of.
As long as your people can open the city gate, no one can stop us."
"I know that." Fang Yu shook his head and said, "It's just... it's better to be careful."
The King of Shu shook his head, but his face showed excitement, and said: "I think it is best to wait until after the Lantern Festival before taking action. When he makes enough money, then he can slaughter a fat sheep...
