"Welcome number 1003899576 to the world of trial plot missions"
"The mission has been released: survive, trigger the plot mission as soon as possible, complete the mission to get rewards, and return to the main god space after the mission is completed."
"Reincarnator No. 1003899576 inherits the identity of the plot character, Song Zhongyi."
“In the 19th year of Emperor Kangxi’s reign in the Qing Dynasty, there was a flood in Suzhou this summer, and there was a large-scale plague.
Heavy rain fell on the ground, and the water was several feet high on the flat ground. Houses and houses were washed away, and the number of people killed was incalculable."
"All the fields were flooded, and the people's houses were washed to pieces by the flood. The rivers were piled up, and ships could not navigate. As a result, a large number of victims in the disaster area died of famine and disease, and all ten houses were empty. It was terrible!
There is Jinhua City in Suzhou. Because the surrounding rivers are well organized and the transportation is convenient, it is one of the few places in the disaster area that has not been affected."
It rained heavily again that day, and the places where people could take shelter were already overcrowded. There were no people on the streets in Jinhua City. The originally bustling streets were filled with mud and water, and the heavy rain washed away the big city over and over again. People were crowded under the eaves.
There were so many people who didn't get home in time, and many shops were crowded with people. Now the business of several teahouses was booming again.
"Please come inside, please... Come and take a seat by the window..." Laifu, the clerk from Ke Laifu, sang loudly, facing a bearded man opposite and coming towards him.
Greetings in the store.
Whenever this kind of overcrowding occurs, it is the happiest time for Laifu. It is at such a good time that customers reward us. Even though it is a bit tiring, we are very tired. I have been an apprentice in the store since I was a child.
It has been seven years since the Qingming Festival. From serving tea and pouring water, sweeping the floor and wiping the tables, to now working in the waiting room, no matter how tired we are, we can still marry a good wife in the future...
"I heard that heavy rains overflowed in Jiaxing, and the rice fields were completely flooded. The southern part of Jiaxing City collapsed, and many people were crushed to death." A tea guest who often drank tea at Clover said softly.
"Hey, that's all old news. A few days ago, there was a flood in Huzhou. I heard that several dams were washed away. That's terrifying." A man at the table next to him said loudly, "Yesterday I helped
The boss transported rice by boat, and the waterway was blocked. In the middle of the night, our brothers used donkey carts to pull back thousands of buckets of rice, and the turtle son used people as livestock."
"Hey, hey, why are you talking about this? Papi Zhou can do anything. It's better not to talk about him. Otherwise, if he finds out, he won't get paid next month." The man's deskmate quickly warned.
"Speaking of which, I would like to thank Mr. Guo Qingtian. Without Mr. Guo, how could the people of our generation in Jiaxing have such a good life? In the past few years when I went out to do business, I have never seen any tragic stories. It is only in Jiaxing that we have such a good life.
The prosperous scene, not to mention this era, is much better than the war era, so let's just be content," a businessman suddenly stepped in and snorted coldly.
"Yes, this brother has great views." "Yes, yes". "Ah haha" "Speaking of Guo Zhixian, I can't explain the story in one night..." Immediately, people continued to take over the topic,
Keep responding.
At this time, Hunter Jie (Song Zhongyi), who inherited the identity of the plot character, had been sitting in the teahouse for a long time. He would spend time here almost every day when he was free, listening to everything around him, and then he learned everything he wanted to know.
Guo Changqing is the chief officer of Jinhua City. He is in the seventh rank. He is in charge of the government orders of a county. He is responsible for the trial and handling of lawsuits in the county, land taxation, the detection of thieves and the elimination of traitors, and the comprehensive management of culture, education, agriculture and mulberry. He has been the county magistrate for three generations, so he can
It is said that it is a family of officials, but sadly, from the ancestors to the present generation, the official position has become lower and lower, and it is simply to keep the position of county magistrate of the seventh grade.
On this day, it rained continuously again. Magistrate Guo looked sad at the government office. As the head of a county, he naturally had to share the worries with the people. Since last month, the rain has not stopped intermittently. The people outside Jinhua City have already
Many people can't eat and can't even sleep well. I don't have any solution at the moment. The grain stocks in the government treasury have been distributed a few days ago, and the relief money from the court has not arrived. The days are getting worse and worse.
Sad.
"There are four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasty, and there are so many towers in the mist and rain." He sighed to himself, picked up the paperweight with his left hand and put it aside, put the brush in his right hand on the pen bed, and walked slowly to the window.
Over the years, County Magistrate Guo has worked hard to manage this county, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has worked hard. However, no matter how hard he works, he cannot be seen by the Holy Emperor, and he has never received any rewards. If the Guo family had not been an official for generations, he Guo Changqing
I had long since resigned from my job and became a happy and contented "farmer". I looked up to the sky and sighed. Suddenly, I saw a few meteors flying past in the sky. I was so frightened that I couldn't breathe for a moment. When I recovered, I found out...
My back has already been soaked with cold sweat, and my inner shirt is soaked. I can’t help but think that some time ago, there were constant rumors about the emergence of monsters.
And there is another legendary figure in this city, Mr. Zhou.
Zhou Zhizhou is a typical businessman passed down from generation to generation. According to legend, his ancestor was a salesman. He moved to Jiaxing due to the war. After several generations of management, he has become a wealthy family. As the current patriarch, Zhou Zhizhou is even more talented than his predecessors.
The Zhou family is run like an iron bucket. The family’s estates are spread all over Jiaxing City. The city has the largest restaurants and inns, more than a dozen shops, and employs a large number of manpower to work for them. There are also rumors that Jiaxing’s docks and porcelain
The Zhou family also accounts for a large share of the business, not to mention those unknown businesses. However, in the eyes of ordinary people, Zhou Papi's reputation even overshadows the most powerful local Mr. Guo. This is not the case.
Not an exaggeration.
However, Mr. Zhou never cares about these issues. In his eyes, only more money can arouse his interest.
"Master, it has been closed in recent years. This is the account book for this quarter. Please take a look at it. All the land rent has been collected in the past few months. Since last month, the granary has been unable to hold grain. Most of the coarse grain has been fed to livestock. This
The newly harvested rice last month has suffered a lot due to continuous rain for many days." The accountant Zhou Yu glanced at the owner of the Zhou family anxiously. Seeing that the owner had no reaction, he continued to report, "The accounts of several shops have dropped several times compared with the accounts reported at the beginning of the year.
It’s almost half of what it was at the beginning of the year, and the business of the restaurant is not satisfactory. In the past few months, I have made a total of one thousand taels." After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he paused and was about to continue, when Mr. Zhou said calmly, "
"Hmm" he said, then closed his eyes and rested his mind.
Zhou Yu glanced at his master anxiously and found that there was nothing to say, so he swallowed and continued, "Sir, the cargo ship at the dock that sailed last year has returned and brought back a whole shipload of goods. This is the account book."
After Yu Gang finished speaking, he found that the head of the Zhou family had already opened his eyes wide and looked at him with a keen eye. If he hadn't made sure that his eyesight was fine, it seemed that the head of the family was about to shine.
He casually took the account book from the accountant's hand, holding it in his hand and reading the contents on it carefully, as if he wanted to see the account book as a flower. Then, Zhou Zhizhou kept nodding his head. At this time, Mr. Accountant was not at ease.
He dared to go out, but he didn't dare to disturb his master. He kept thinking about his master's thoughts in his heart, and looked forward to whether the silver reward he received this month would increase by dozens of taels of silver because of the cargo just now.
After waiting for a cup of tea, Zhou Yu finished reading this not thick book, then raised his head and ordered to the accountant, "Well, that's good, go on."
At this time, Zhou Yu didn't see anything from his elder's face, as if the scene just returned to a few minutes ago. However, Zhou Yu collected his thoughts and then said, "Since last year, our Zhou family has built
There are fifteen kilns, large and small, and the quality of the porcelain they produce is getting better and better. Some time ago, last month, some new things came out of the big factories outside the city, and there were many more varieties of blue and white.
, there are blue and white multicolored, peacock green glazed blue and white, bean green glazed blue and white, blue and white glazed red, yellow ground blue and white, brother glazed blue and white..." After saying this, Zhou Yu couldn't help but straighten his chest and felt that his waist was straightening.
, before he finished speaking, Mr. Zhou coughed, and then said, "Not bad, reward."
"Thank you, Master. I will order you to go down later. I will thank the master for the reward to the potters first, and I will ask them to come over and say hello later." After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he gave his master a firm nod, expressing his gratitude.
"No need, go back and distribute this quarter's dividends to each family. This month, each family will get an extra 500 taels. The stewards can get 80 taels, and the servants will each receive ten cents. Tell the steward later that I don't want to deal with the cargo ship.
I heard a little bit of news outside, otherwise, I will take care of myself as a family." After Zhou Zhizhou said this, he felt that there was nothing important, and then said, "If there is nothing else, let's go back first and call the housekeeper in."
It is said that Jinhua City is famously wealthy in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. Even compared to the Imperial Capital, it is not inferior at all. Compared with the prosperity of the Imperial Capital, there are more wealthy people here. In the eyes of ordinary people, this area
The area is a geomantic treasure, and of course, it deserves this title. In the eyes of most businessmen, the transportation here is convenient and extends in all directions. In addition to these, there are also livelihood industries such as food, clothing, housing and transportation that are extremely developed in the local area. Of course, along with these,
There is also a mixture of fish and dragons. Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and while Jinhua City has brought prosperity to the surrounding area, there is also chaos. This is an unavoidable problem in all dynasties. Talents are the source of disputes!
Speaking of the prosperous land here in Jinhua City, we have to talk about the chaos behind the prosperity.
"Pa," he said slowly, looking at a white-bearded man standing upright and wearing a long gown, holding a tree in his left hand and a folding fan with "eloquent words" written on his right hand, "There are many businesses in the world, but storytelling is the only one."
It is difficult to learn. Storytelling is easy to express, but thousands of words need to be memorized. Pretending to be literary and arming myself is like a big show." The gentleman lowered his eyebrows and glanced at the audience, paused briefly, and then continued, "I talked about it last time.
"Peng Gong's Case" Peng Gong was ordered to march westward to Xixia, punishing corrupt officials and bullies along the way, and subduing the green forest and grass bandits. The heroic and loyal man Ma Yulong was born. This time, let's listen to Peng Gong's escorts such as Ma Yulong, Sheng Kui, Qiu Cheng, Shi Zhu, and Wu Jie.
Next, he started repeated battles with monk Feiyun, Taoist priest Qingfeng, Ma Daoxuan, etc., and broke through Qingshui Village to capture Ma Yushan. Speaking of which..."
At this time, the audience was silent, but everyone below stretched out their necks, pricked up their ears, and listened to Mr. Baihu's eloquence with rapt attention, as if the gentleman was telling stories one by one with an iron mouth.
When I vomited it in front of everyone, a series of pictures rushed past my face, and if everyone in the audience took a role in the story, it felt like they themselves had become the protagonist.
Let’s not talk about the superb skills of this storytelling artist, but today our protagonist is a young man who is listening to the opera in the audience. He is known as the "Yi Bao" of Jinhua City. Why did he get such an enviable title?
Starting a few years ago.
This "Yibao" brother is the only son of Zhou Zhizhou, a well-known wealthy businessman in Jinhua City. He is considered a relatively powerful second-generation rich man in Jinhua City. Although, the eldest son of the Zhou family can only be considered in the middle of the rich list in Jinhua City.
But I can't bear to say that he has a father with a lot of money. And the title "Yibao" has something to do with his father, because one time this week, the Zhou family made a bet with someone, and for some reason it turned into two families throwing money at each other.
, everyone was relatively sane at first, just throwing some copper coins to each other, it was harmless. I don’t know why the young master of the Zhou family went crazy later. He actually brought a box of gold ingots and beat one of the other parties to death. Later, there was a riot.
When he went to the government, because both parties were responsible for each other, another insignificant person died and nothing happened. However, the title "Yibao" was spread among everyone following this incident. Although it sounds nice, it is not
What a glorious thing, but few people would say that in front of this young master of the Zhou family.
Having said so much, everyone knows that this Mr. Zhou is also famous for being rich. Who can give him a good father? Let’s get back to the subject, the name of this Mr. Zhou who is listening to the opera is Xingxing. Perhaps, this name speaks to everyone.
I don't know, because everyone only calls him by his nickname, and many ordinary people don't even know his father's name, but they call him "Zhou Papi".
