683 Do what the edict says(1/2)
Bianliang is very hot and lively in summer. This is the center of the Song Dynasty. Whether it is officials or merchants, this is the paradise in their hearts.
If you are a businessman, it is best to go to Bianliang. There are many business opportunities there that can open your eyes and think of countless ways to make money.
If you are an official, you'd better go to Bianliang. There are countless high-ranking officials and powerful people there. If you can join one, your career will be extremely smooth.
This is a paradise for countless people!
Chang Er is such a farmer who yearns for paradise. He used to farm in Wenfeng Village, but later he encountered disasters and everyone in the village was in debt. In the end, the land was taken away, but his family was left.
At that time, Chang Er felt that Wenfeng Village was hell, and he was struggling with his children on the brink of death.
Until he heard the knock on the door and met Zhao Zhongzhen and Shen An at that time, they really cleaned up Chen Daguan and took him to Beijing to meet the official's house.
The official family is so kind!
Chang Er missed Zhao Zhen and his eyes turned red.
"Chang Er, come and move the goods!"
This is outside a shop, Chang Er is guarding the big cart, and his employer Yuan Xingang has negotiated a deal.
Chang Er sighed and said, "The little man is coming soon."
He kept moving goods in and out, and when he finished moving, his whole body was soaked with sweat.
He opened his clothes and said heartbrokenly: "This is the old lady who has repaired it. If it is soaked in salt, it will rot."
Yuan Xin walked out and said, "You are waiting outside. I went to drink with Mr. Li, and then I went out of the city when I got back."
The so-called Mr. Li is the owner of this shop. Mr. Li is the meaning of an official, just like when people meet and drink outside in later generations, raising their glasses is the greeting of "a boss". But in fact, everyone is either a staff member or a worker, and they don't cooperate with the boss, it's just a name that sets off their identity.
Chang Er replied, Yuan Xin threw him a few cents and said, "Don't say you are not bad at all. You can take this money and buy cooked cakes at home."
Chang Er took the copper coins with a flattering smile, and a penny fell on the ground and rolled under the cart. He lay in to look for it, making Yuan Xin laugh and scold, "It's just a penny, it's almost the same as a beggar, it's boring!"
The two of them left. Chang Er found the money, blew it up and put it away, happily sat on the shaft of the car and said, "Let's buy some malt sugar for the axe..."
He hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed: "Forget it, I'll give some to the aunt."
"…that Jinfei Dan is really that good?"
"Of course it's good. One acre of land costs two and a half liters more. Do you think it's okay?"
"One acre is more than two and a half liters? Could you scare me!"
"I'm not a human being!"
Chang Er listened to these words blankly and felt that it was not reliable.
"This golden fat pill was made by Guan Yu. Today, even the king came out, and Han Xiang and the others went outside the city to weigh it. When Han Xiang came back, he was happy and threw his waist."
When Chang Er heard the Shen Guanzhao, he rushed over and stopped the two men who were talking, and said with a flattering smile: "Do you dare to ask... Shen Guanzhao... Is that golden fat pill made by Guanzhao?"
The two men were startled by Chang Er who suddenly appeared. They wanted to have an attack, but they saw that he was smiling flatteringly, so they held back.
This is what it means to stretch out your hands and not hit people with a smile, one of the survival wisdom of the people at the bottom.
"Of course it was made by the Attorney. Now, the practice of Jinfei Dan has been posted outside the Kaifeng Prefecture Office, and many people are listening!"
Chang Er murmured: "One acre of land is more than two and a half liters?"
Seeing that he was stunned, the two of them couldn't help but smile, "Of course it's true. The people in the farm behind said that they didn't take care of this crop of wheat, so they harvested less."
The farmer is a powerful man, so the farmer's households are lazy as they can, so the harvest is less.
"ah!"
Chang Er jumped up and said happily: "I believe in the Attendant, and I believe in the Attendant!"
Seeing that he was happy, the two of them laughed and said, "They also said that they are all in these miscellaneous studies!"
“Miscellaneous studies?”
Chang Er casually said: "This is the knowledge of the waiter. I will definitely learn it if I ask my son to study it in the future."
Seeing what he said for granted, the two of them sneered and shook their heads.
Chang Er spent money to ask someone to watch the cart, and ran to the government office by himself.
"... All kinds of things must be mixed together, and then use a broken mat, everything is good, cover it, and then... the microorganisms mentioned by the Attorney will work, and it will get hot inside... Remember to turn over for a while..."
Several minor officials took turns to recite the method loudly, and if they don’t understand, they can go to the side for advice.
Chang Er also went there.
There were a few minor officials next to him. Chang Er went over and smiled flatteringly and said, "Dare you dare to ask the official, can the hay be made?"
A small official first glanced at the densely written paper, and then said, "It seems... there is, there is, it is a straw mat or a hay. You are smart, don't hesitate to go back and do it quickly."
Chang Er nodded violently, turned around and ran away.
He was muttering the way of Jin Fei Dan. When he returned to the cart, Yuan Xin had already returned and said with a gloomy face: "Is this not want to do it? If you don't want to do it, get out!"
Chang Er was startled first, and then bowed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Uncle."
Yuan Xin was stunned, but he had already said that he didn't want to take it back, so he said with a stern face: "If you have worked so hard, don't regret it!"
Chang Er said: "The villain will not regret it."
Yuan Xin cursed in her heart, and then said, "I'll pay you the remaining money."
This is the Song Dynasty and this is Bianliang. In the future, the kind of wages rarely happened.
After paying the wages, Chang Er bought some malt sugar and finally bought a piece of ink, and hurriedly left the city and went home.
He walked all the way to Wenfeng Village. When it was almost dark, the villagers were having dinner outside. When they saw him coming back, they asked, "Chang Er, why are you not working in the city? Don't worry, your aunt takes good care of the family!"
Chang Er said: "There is a good thing! I will come to a certain house when I look back."
When he returned home, his daughter was cooking. When he saw him coming back, he said timidly: "Dad, Dalang is reading a book!"
Chang Er said happily: "You can read books! You have to read every day."
He took out the malt candy, bite a small piece in his mouth and handed it to the aunt: "This is yours."
The aunt's eyes lit up, but she didn't dare to answer: "Dad, I won't eat it, give it to Dalang."
Chang Er glared at her eyes, and the aunt quickly took it, and then said, "Dad, I'll go cook."
"Go and go!"
Chang Er was in a very good mood, and the villagers came later.
"The house is narrow, so let's talk outside."
It's spacious outside, Chang Er talked about what he encountered in the city today...
"... Someone asked me why I didn't work in the city and thought, this acre of land can be two and a half liters more, why are I still working in the city?"
The villagers were stunned at first, and some said, "I heard about this last year and said that someone used some pill and collected a few liters of two dou. At that time, I didn't believe it. I thought the pill was too powerful, I was afraid it was fake..."
"Is it fake? Last year someone said that the pill is good, so I asked someone to do it, but someone didn't agree..."
Wenfeng Village is outside Bianliang, not far away. When Jinfei Dan expanded to the surrounding area of Bianliang last year, they were at the edge and were not affected.
"At that time, someone said it was impossible."
It’s like an old driver who has been driving a car for a lifetime. Suddenly someone told him that a car now has a speed of 600 kilometers per hour. The key is that this kind of car is easy to build and is being popularized...
Do you believe it?
They don't believe it, and now they regret it.
"Chang Er, is it true? Don't lie to us!"
"That's it. If you deceive us, you won't be able to collect so much next year..."
"This is not a trivial matter! The Golden Pill also has to find a lot of things! The money is not much, but it takes time. If it is fake..."
Chang Er raised his head and said, "If it is fake, I will compensate you!"
An old man frowned and said, "Chang Er, are you crazy? Do you know that if these families in the village ask you to compensate, it will not be enough for you to sell the aunt."
"Dad..."
Chang Er was about to retort, but heard his daughter's voice. He turned around and saw his daughter standing timidly inside the door, tears in his eyes.
"Dad, I can work, don't sell me..."
Chang Erben wanted to get angry, but when he looked at this face that looked very similar to his deceased wife, he felt sad and said, "Dad will not sell you, so he will let you marry a good family in the future. When your brother has a promising future in school, let him support you..."
Those eyes full of tears were full of disbelief, and then they were filled with joy.
"Go and cook."
"good."
The old lady's steps became obviously a little lighter when she left.
Chang Er turned around, his eyes full of firmness: "If it is fake, I will compensate you!"
"You're crazy!"
When the old man saw that the villagers around him were all happy, he cursed: "Who gave you the benefits to say good things to this Jin Feidan? Stupid!"
