The old witch Diyou had the word "rich" written all over his face. Some people around him were dumbfounded and cursed loudly.
"How...how can this old guy be so rich!"
"Others are living frugally in prison, but he earns more than working outside. These are nine large seashells. Normally one seashell is equal to two seashells, and this large seashell can cost one
One piece is equivalent to twenty pottery shells."
"At that time, the goods distributed in the prison village included seashells. We had to work for many days to get one, but we didn't expect that the old man got nine of them in a few days!"
"I'm afraid I've got a manless widow for someone else, otherwise how could I have such a large amount of wealth?"
The old wizard went on a shopping spree, buying two cans of wine, a plate of meat, and a handful of salted beans. For the remaining goods, he bought a hen, three strips of raw pork, and five pieces of leather of average quality.
The people on the side looked at it and gritted their teeth!
"Boys, you are still young, you... you don't understand, times have changed, the water in this stall is very deep, you can tell by the blank look on that bear's face that it is just pretending, you have so much money to use
Here to buy something, how do you know if you have been tricked by him? You can’t be sure..."
The old wizard taught the people around him with "serious words and thoughtful words", then took his things and left.
Someone nearby yelled and cursed, saying that the old man had taken away the pork because it was sold so cheaply.
"Three ounces of meat, one ounce of meat is two and a half kilograms, and the ribs are also fed to the dog. Your uncle, how can seven kilograms of meat not support you?"
From afar, the old wizard's response came. The old wizard said that his uncle has been dead for many years. I will buy some meat and go back to worship him. I will brag with him over a mouthful of meat and wine. Thank you for caring about his uncle...
Because they didn't eat a single meal, the prisoners spent extravagantly. After all, the food rations are rationed every day. If you want to eat better, you have to spend more.
Gou Xiong pushed the empty cart away. He came in the morning and left in the afternoon. The cart was already empty...
Today is another day to make money.
"That bear has been working in Hongzhou for many years, right?"
"It should already have its own house and yard, but what does a bear do with these things?"
“Do bears also raise chickens and sheep?”
"Why not? Just keep it and eat it."
"Axiong, remember to bring me a bitter pig gall next time. I ate the one last time."
Not to mention how many pig galls the ancient Gou Jian ate, because the Holy Bear had already left, and the prisoners watched the Holy Bear's back.
Looking forward to visiting the canteen again in two days, and some people spend too much, so they have to think that they have to go out to work in these two days, otherwise they will have no goods.
Hongzhou established a new system for criminals, and they quickly integrated into this system.
This is the ability of humans to adapt to the environment. The same applies to systems. It is also the innate instinct of all living things. The only difference is that animals adapt passively, while humans adapt actively.
Soon, Ye came here to carry out the construction of ideological work. The Ba people who had just been punished stopped their activities, but they still listened to each other's nonsense.
At this time, the Ba warrior thought again. The Jinyun family said that at the beginning, they did not listen to this person at all. They would either snore or look at the sky during class, but after a while, they would actually start to do it on their own.
Thinking about some things, I even feel that many of the things they have done in the past must be really wrong.
This made the Ba warriors a little scared. Could it be that a person's thoughts and loyalty to the leader could be so easily affected and changed?
However, some prisoners spoke up and said that it was not that they were no longer loyal to their original leader, but they were just confused and felt that there were some things that they really shouldn't do.
Ye is very good at talking, and is good at getting prisoners to think from their perspective, and then allowing them to step in and lead to resonance...
This is the process of transforming Huang Mao into a suffering master...
The old wizard Diyou was sitting alone in the corner, eating and drinking, but soon someone came and told him that you have been in prison long enough, get out now, you are released!
"Get out of jail? I won't get out. What can I do if I get out? It's impossible to get out!"
Working... It's impossible to work in this life, and I don't know how to do business. I have to live in prison for nothing to maintain my life like this...
The old wizard said so.
"It's so good to be in prison. It's become a village now anyway. I can help people tell fortunes, perform 'unfamous rituals', and do other things. There are few wizards here, and I'm a veteran. I can earn more benefits than outside."
ah!"
"There are talented people out there. The competition in the industry is fierce and there is too much involution. If you don't have good fortune-telling skills, you will have your legs broken..."
"I would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. All I earn are the prisoners' property, not your Hongzhou property. Although those properties were indeed allocated by you, where did the prisoners get the property?
What does it have to do with me?"
The old wizard explained his reasons, which made the prison guards stunned for a moment, while Ye who was giving a lecture noticed the old wizard.
This old man seems to have some economic sense?
It seems that the Shandu God of that time used a set of small bully monkey combos to open up the Ren and Du meridians. Although his face was fractured, his brain was also enlightened.
But it is obviously unrealistic to stay in prison for many years. After all, the prison is not your home, so the old wizard was forced to go through the procedures for leaving the prison that day.
"Old man, do you have any inheritance? Lend me some money to spend, and I will return it to you when I leave the village after serving my sentence!"
There were many voices like this, and after the old wizard left the village, a high wall seemed to separate the worlds of Yin and Yang. The thick earth and stone wall blocked the village inside and the big world outside.
"Well, you are out of prison. You are a wizard after all... I hope you can make good use of your abilities and start a new life."
A prison guard said this to the old wizard, and the old wizard saw that one of his feet was wearing a shoe made of copper skin and wooden bones, and recognized him:
"Are you from the Ganpan clan? Do you still hate me?"
The watcher nodded.
"Of course I hate you. It was you who made my legs look like this. Without the craftsmen from Hongzhou, I would always be a cripple."
"You lose the ability to run after you chop off your toes, and you can only limp around slowly... But you have paid the price. The new prisoners say that you are living a good life, but you have suffered a lot in the past few years."
We see all your sins."
"If you don't want to stay in this land, then get out, as far away as possible."
The old wizard shook his body. He came to Hongzhou and found that many things here had become completely unfamiliar.
It had only been nine years, and the entire south had changed. He froze in place, looking at the prosperous world, with deep fear and confusion in his heart.
But soon, his fear dissipated, because he found that there were no fights, no slaves, and an atmosphere of joy and happiness among people.
Some children walked past him, jumping around, holding wooden swords and dogtail grass, but muttering irritably about starting school.
In the strange and cheerful world, the innocent nursery rhymes of children are ringing.
The old wizard stood in this world for a long time.
He finally understood why many of his tribesmen chose to undergo labor camps.
Because the old era turned people into ghosts, and the new era turns people who were originally humans but did not live like humans into real humans.
