Yunzheng discovered a new way to make money. This was the reason why he was happy. This way of making money was related to the mountain people. He keenly discovered that the mountain people were not actually poor, but they were extremely short of daily necessities. Their clothes were all
It was very shabby, and there was an extreme shortage of oil and salt for food. Yun Zheng heard from the mountain people that he had hunted a wild boar and couldn't eat it all in the hot weather, so he had to smoke it into smoked meat. Some of the bacon was already in the house.
It has been hanging on the beam for three to five years.
This is such a good opportunity to make a fortune. There are treasures everywhere in the mountains. If I can use the goods from Douchuan Pass to exchange with them, I will definitely be able to make Yun Er and Yun San full in a short time.
There is no need to compete with the laborers for the meager grain.
Before doing this, you must establish a good relationship with Liu Dutou. The main purpose of your bragging is to make Liu Dutou unclear about your own depth, thus opening the way for your own plan to make a fortune.
Yunzheng took out all the money at home and prepared to start trading from tomorrow. Mountain man Lai Ba said that as long as it is salt, they need it, and they can get as much as they have.
The adults dare not approach them, because if they catch a mountain man, the court will reward them. There are always some ill-intentioned people who want to use them as goods in exchange for the few copper coins from the court. Yun Zheng is still a child, and he is rushing alone.
Only when the bullock cart appeared on the mountain road did they dare to approach. Otherwise, they would rather not eat salt and hide tightly.
The next day, Yun Zheng drove an ox cart into Dou Sha Pass again. He exchanged all his money for salt, loaded brown rice from the grain warehouse for the laborers, kept track of his own accounts, and managed the warehouse.
Kudin smiled and watched Yun Zheng writing and marking on different documents before closing the account book. They already had a little trust in Yun Zheng. This child has never been naughty, but he will never suffer losses. The most difficult thing is
The good thing is that this child can also help him take inventory, so Yun Zheng never uses the unique skill of kicking and fighting. This is also the reason why Yun Zheng can always get 10% more food than others.
Yun Zheng had seen kick-fighting before. The big bucket in the official treasury was filled with a load of grain. The law required that after standing up, it would be counted by kicking to shake off the excess grain. These evil-minded Kudin kicked it down.
The grain in the big bucket will fall by 10%. I heard that some old Kudins will drop 30% of the big bucket filled with a load of grain when they step down. This is a secret that people use to make money.
"Yunda, there is a load of brown rice mixed with sand on the west wall. Do you want it? If you want it, take it and count it as your share of the grain. I don't have time to pick out the sand." A Kudin wearing a hat crookedly came from the inner hall.
He came out and yelled at Yun Zheng.
Yun Zheng immediately laughed. What do you mean by grain mixed with sand? They kicked it out. It fell on the ground and was stained with sand. When he tried to store it in the warehouse, the chief clerk discovered it, so he had to pile it outside. The hole could not be filled.
, so I had no choice but to give Yunzheng the advantage.
Without thinking, he unloaded three buckets of grain from the oxcart, and then moved the load of grain onto the oxcart with the help of Kudin. Kudin gently slapped Yun Zheng on the back of the head and said:
"You little bastard is really smart. Go back and sift out the sand. This bag of grain is definitely worth more than a stone. Forget it, why do we think you are so pleasing to our family?"
"I know you have good intentions. The laborers on the construction site are starving to death. You are giving them a bite of food. This is a merit." After getting used to it, Yunzheng joked with Kuding with a smile.
Not only the laborers were pitiful, but the soldiers guarding the city gate were also pitiful. They were wearing thin uniforms and had gold seals on their faces. They were huddled in the hole of the city gate holding a spear and shivering. A penny a bag of hot chestnuts was clouded.
Zheng has to buy some every time, just to give to the soldiers. With these things, the soldiers will not make things difficult for you, nor will they take your food. They are not short of food, and they cannot sell it if they take it away.
Those who were beaten to death by the officers were simply causing harm to people.
The oxcart creaked along the path, and Yun Zheng huddled in his coir raincoat, stuffing a chestnut into his mouth from time to time, his eyes looking ahead, but his ears paying attention to the movements on both sides like radar.
Sure enough, when the dry grass in front cleared away, two hunters carrying prey appeared in front of Yun Zheng. They were covered in animal skins. The stronger hunter even wore a leopard skin hat, looking very capable.
"Little boy, do you have any salted vegetables today? We exchanged prey. We were lucky enough to kill a wild boar today." The hunter was worried that he would frighten Yun Zheng, so he deliberately lowered his voice when speaking.
"I can't afford to change it. I only have a small bag of salt and a jar of salted vegetables. The other things cannot be touched. They are all for the laborers to eat." Yun Zheng saw the disappointment in Orion's eyes. This little thing is as good as a head of salt.
The value of wild boar varies greatly.
The tall Orion was Lai Ba. He had dealt with Yun Zheng several times and knew that this kid was not a liar. He sighed and said, "Well, let's change it. A little salt is better than nothing." After that, he walked out of the grass.
A fat wild boar was dragged out and thrown into Yunzheng's bullock cart.
"You can't exchange it. You are at a huge disadvantage. I know how much a wild boar costs. Last time, the hunter in the village also killed a pig, which was much smaller than yours. He took it to Dousha Pass and sold it for 0.3 hundred Wen. Mine
Salted vegetables and salt are not even worth three hundred coins."
Lai Ba smiled bitterly and said, "I know, who calls us mountain people?" As he spoke, he moved the salt vegetables from Yunzheng's oxcart. Yun Zheng also handed the bag of salt to Lai Ba, smiling.
He said to him: "I will go to the town soon to sell the wild boar. Today is the market, and the sale should not be over yet. I don't know how much it can be sold for. Anyway, it is worth more than this salt. Tell me, what do you want?"
I'll bring it to you when I return the ox cart later.
Lai Ba turned around suddenly, looked at Yun Zheng and said, "It would be best if you could bring me some antipyretic medicine. I just want one pair of medicine." Seeing Lai Ba's eager expression, he knew that this was
Someone in the family is sick. If he needs salt, he actually plans to heat the salt and give it to the patient as a hot compress. This is their method of treating diseases. They use this method no matter what the disease is. Another method is bloodletting.
Not only did they use this method, many people in Yunzheng's village were also treated with this method.
"Adults are still children. If it's a child, just bring him over. Don't put him in animal skins. I'll take him to see a doctor. Tell me the symptoms as an adult. To treat a disease, you must prescribe the right medicine." Yun Zheng said very calmly. At this time,
He has forgotten about making money.
"My daughter is six years old. If you can save his life, I will give you my life." Lai Ba was trembling with excitement, turned around and ran into the grass. After a while, he was panting and holding a girl wrapped in a quilt.
The little girl inside, Yun Zheng simply didn't know how this guy managed to run up two hills in a short period of time.
