Chapter 008: Meeting on a narrow road
This time, there are actually not many gold, but there are about four kilograms.
However, after knowing the location of the gold mine, it will be easy to make plans in the future, especially those Indian natives. Han Meng believes that there may be more gold in his tribe.
Let’s talk about this later. The future is long, so there is no hurry.
With the current gold, many things can be carried out, especially for the poor people, who can also provide assistance to the best of their ability.
Just like all the tenants in the countryside, in the eyes of modern people, food, clothing, housing and transportation are actually like beggars.
Since he traveled through the Tang Dynasty and had super awesome golden fingers, why not help the people of this era as much as possible!
Colonize the Americas to farm, explore and explore, live a leisurely little life, and then help the poor people as much as possible.
Isn't this very good?
He took out a ham sausage, coaxed Liu Mang'er, and took him down the mountain. On the way down the mountain, Han Meng still looked at the situation in America.
Sure enough, the alarmed natives of the tribe had searched overnight and tracked into the range covered by his thoughts.
Finally, he stayed where he was quarrying, probably because he was shocked by the half of the mountain that disappeared for no reason and began to retreat again.
This also made Han Meng even more sure that these natives own a lot of gold because many of them have small jewelry made of gold.
When he returned to the village, Han Meng began to make arrangements.
We have found two brothers, winter is approaching, and many things must start as soon as possible.
It is not impossible to build houses for more than 20 families at one time. As long as you have money, it is not impossible. There are so many villages nearby, and I am very idle this season.
Some people have materials and start construction at the same time. I believe that the tiles can be covered in half a month.
Just do this, even the preliminary preparations should be enough for one month. Even if it cannot be completed in a month, it will be fine. Anyway, he has no plans to build it on the original site of each household.
The old house still exists. If you don’t move into a new house, the old house will not be demolished.
Let the two brothers of Daniu gather all the men in the village and start to divide the labor, contact the blue bricks, small tiles, wood, etc.
Of course, he also took the few chunks of money that were originally not much in his family and asked someone to take it as a deposit for the materials.
Then I looked for craftsmen and went to find them in the neighborhoods, and the wages were easy to say.
The tenants didn't understand that Han Dalang was building a house for them, and they all thought that the Han family was preparing to build a large-scale construction.
Thinking about it, Han Dalang is sixteen and is about to get married, so maybe he will wait for the house to be built to hold a marriage.
Soon, the crowd dispersed with smiles. Han Meng didn't know what these people were thinking. Then he went to check the terrain and how to plan the location of the new village, but Liu Mang'er kept following.
Seeing this, Han Meng knew why, and was waiting for supper!
Yes, it is already half past the time, which is equivalent to four o'clock in the afternoon. In ancient times, people always had two meals a day, one morning and one night.
I simply stopped watching it, went back to cook and cooked another pot of instant noodles.
...
The next morning, Han Meng took Liu Mang'er to the town to customize small wooden boxes and small knives, and then he had to rush to Chang'an City.
Because gold can only be exchanged for copper coins in Chang'an City.
His home is more than 100 miles away from Chang'an City. It is probably afternoon to go to the city, and he can only stay in the city at night.
This is the inconvenience without a horse, and it can only rely on two legs.
After the town was done, he started to rush towards Chang'an. At first, Han Meng was a little worried whether he could hike for dozens of kilometers.
But after leaving for an hour, he began to feel complacent.
This body is much stronger than before and is not comparable to the physique of modern people.
Along the way, I had nothing to talk to with Liu Mang'er, the key is that I can't even get started even if I want to.
The reason why he brought this guy was mainly because Han Meng was unsure and took this giant man to strengthen his courage. Of course, the most important thing was that if he exchanged for copper coins, he would also need to guard all the way home.
Nowadays, copper coins are needed to be pulled by ox carts. If one or two taels of gold is used, he will probably have six or seven hundred coins.
It is always more than six pounds, and you can imagine that so many copper coins will definitely not be able to carry them.
It's just right to think about some things.
Last night, I melted the gold into pieces of gold cakes on the freighter, of varying sizes, but how to exchange copper coins without making people wonder about the origin of the gold?
With his outfit, one can tell at a glance that he is a small rural farmer.
With such an identity, no one would doubt it if he took out so much gold at once?
Not only will you be suspected, but you may also be killed by others for money.
So after considering it, Han Meng decided to exchange one or two golden cakes first, take it slowly, just use some in the early stage.
He glanced at the bag on Liu Mang'er's back, which contained the last five hundred bronzes from the Han family.
There is not much surplus food at home, and now I have done my old job. I don’t know if my mother will beat him to death when she comes back. This is the savings that the old Han family has saved for many years.
Among them, not only were the money for him to marry his wife, but also the little sister's dowry!
If the little girl knows, would she not recognize him as a brother?
Alas! The landlord's family has no surplus food, so they are still poor!
Tenants collect 20% of the rent per mu, and most of them pay taxes. The Han family did not distribute the taxes to the tenants. It can be said that it is really rare to see such a Han family in all corners of the country.
Otherwise, each household would have to pay an extra five or six stones of grain for every 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
According to the harvest this year, it can be said that if you don’t eat it next summer, you will lose food.
The harvest is too low and the land is too barren.
Of course, the harvest of those landlords with fertile fields is naturally different, with more than twice as different, but the tenants of the landlords' families are not better than those of the Han family.
Even some are not as good as the Han family tenants.
This is also the foundation for the Han family to win the hearts of the people.
Through memory, Han Meng knew that the fat fields in Guanzhong yielded only about two stones per mu of wheat, while the Han family's 300 mu of land yielded less than one stone per mu.
One stone is converted into kilograms from later generations, which are about fifty-three or four kilograms.
Yes, that's right, the yield per mu is only more than one hundred kilograms of wheat.
Han Meng remembered reading a book of information. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of my country, the wheat yield per mu was 150 to 200 kilograms. In the 1980s, in some areas, the winter wheat yield per mu was only more than 300 kilograms.
So, in this era, the yield of two stones per mu is really high.
It can be seen that the land in this era is still very fertile.
The last five hundred copper coins are probably not able to buy a decent dress for this era, so the plan to change the outfit and exchange it for gold seems to be impossible to implement.
Besides, I don’t know if there is a ready-to-wear shop.
I don’t know how long I have been away, but it probably is getting late when I see the sun. It should be two or three o’clock in the afternoon.
Liu Mang'er didn't know the way, but fortunately, Han Meng had the memory of his predecessor. His predecessor had been to Chang'an City, and it was not once.
This place is not far from Chang'an. According to memory, it is estimated that there are more than ten miles.
But just as Han Meng was about to call Liu Mang'er to take a break and eat something, a group of people rushed over from an official road on the side.
From a distance, there were almost thirty people in the head of the three young men in brocade clothes following the subordinates of the army.
Moreover, they all wore blue heads, carried bows and arrows on their backs, long swords on their waists, rode tall horses, and some horses with prey on their backs.
It was obviously the powerful prince who was hunting and returning to the city.
When the horse team approached, Han Meng recognized the person in the lead at a glance, Changsun Chong.
He didn't know the other two young men in brocade clothes, but Changsun Chong was unforgettable in his memory.
The time of encounter at this time was wrong, and Han Meng didn't want to be troubled, so he turned around.
But he was still one step slower and was recognized by Changsun Chong.
In fact, Changsun Chong would not look at passers-by like them. The little giant Liu Mang'er who was bad was ruined by Han Meng, which was so eye-catching.
"Xi Yuyu..."
The horse neighed, recognizing Han Meng, and Changsun Chong suddenly strangled the galloping horse, which also caused the entire horse team to stop. For a moment, the horse's hooves were messy and neighed continuously.
"I said why do you look so familiar? I didn't expect it to be you, a rat. Haha, you're a pretty big life!"
The horse beat him around and Changsun rushed to Han Meng and Liu Mang'er with a sinister smile on his face.
The other two young men also rode their horses over, but the followers rode their horses around Han Meng and the others.
Liu Mang'er seemed to feel the threat, and her throat began to let out a low roar from time to time, and her body turned from time to time, looking forward and back.
However, Han Meng became calm, looking at Changsun Chong coldly, looking around intently, recalling who were nearby just now.
Finally, I was sure to come all the way and didn't seem to see any other passers-by.
He decided that since he had encountered this today, he simply did nothing and completely solved Changsun Chong.
He is a modern person, and his way of thinking and personality do not like to swallow his anger and accept it. No matter what, he used to be the master of playing games and throwing keyboards.
Today, I will send Changsun to these people and send them to America as savages. Whether they die or live depends on their luck.
