Chapter 7 Miserly, upright and awe-inspiring
"Your Highness..."
Xu Jingzong was dragged out, and when he got outside the palace, two servants put him down, panting very hard.
It stands to reason that at this time, you will always say that you have worked hard, so that they can go back and say good things for you.
"Bah!" Xu Jingzong poohed on the ground, cursing: "There must be a traitor who is slandering His Highness, the old man will not share the sky with him!"
The two servants gasped for a while, and one of them said: "Your Highness said, there is a farmer in Huazhou who killed Emperor Gaozu when he was born. He fell ill a few days ago and killed Emperor Gao. I want you to go to Huazhou to check .”
"Isn't this a broom star?" Xu Jingzong was dumbfounded, and then scolded: "Which idiot's suggestion is it? Who urged Your Highness?"
As Li Zhi's person, he was waiting to reach the pinnacle of his life, but he was slapped and sent to Huazhou. The person who came up with the idea was his life and death enemy, and Xu Jingzong would not be reconciled if he didn't kill this person.
The waiter sighed, "It's better that you don't know about this person."
"Fart!" Old Xu is a loyal dog, so he has no taboos.
The servant said sympathetically: "Don't think about revenge, it's... Uncle Guo."
Xu Jingzong stood still.
That is the uncle of the current prince, and he is also in charge of the government. You are just a loyal dog, how dare you go and beep with the eldest grandson Wuji?
The waiter went in, Xu Jingzong yelled in the direction of a certain yamen, and cursed: "You **** slave, the old man curses you to die!"
Then he straightened his clothes, cupped his hands towards the palace, and said loudly: "The old man is loyal to His Highness and has no second thoughts!"
He left after finishing speaking. Behind him, two officials were talking in a low voice: "Being an official has achieved such a high position, but he actually expressed his loyalty to His Highness outside the palace gate. The flattering words make people...disgusting!"
"This person has a good literary talent, but he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he is also greedy for wealth and honor. He is called a loyal dog. As a loyal dog, it is natural to show loyalty in public. The more flattering and straightforward the better."
…
It is not difficult to make tofu, soaking beans, grinding soy milk, boiling soy milk, filtering, pointing, pressing...
Yang Deli snatched all the other work and refused to do it for Jia Pingan. This is when he waited for the procedure of ordering starch, he would use the excuse of going to the toilet to avoid it.
No secret!
Finally, Jia Pingan grabbed him one time, took out a plaster cast and said, "Crush this thing and melt it..."
Yang Deli was dumbfounded, "Ping An, this is baby, it should be yours."
Who has any precious prescriptions that are not hidden? Jia Pingan generously brought tears to Yang Deli's eyes, "Auntie, Ping An is stupid again."
This guy kept mentioning the original mother's deceased mother, which made Jia Ping'an a little tangled, and he said angrily: "If you tell you to do it, do it."
Ordering pulp is actually a very simple matter, just one click.
Jia Pingan taught Yang Deli the rest of the things. Seeing his tears falling in the soy milk, he felt that people in this era are really sincere.
In the future, if you want to teach how to make money, make a video and it will become popular.
But people nowadays want to avoid it and keep it secret for you, which shows simplicity.
So simple!
Jia Pingan said flatly: "The so-called book has its own golden house, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book. My cousin is at ease. I have recently read thoroughly and understood many things. There will be more in the future."
Reading is a luxury at this moment, and the circulation of books is even more speechless. The main method of obtaining books is actually copying, which shows the difficulty of teaching.
Yang Deli is illiterate, but he has great respect for scholars. He believed it, and his eyes became more admirable. "Ping An, you just go to study. Hey, the book is still mortgaged in the pawnshop, so I will go back and redeem it."
"That's good." Although Jia Ping'an felt that life in Yangjiawu was okay, but if he wanted to live a more comfortable life in the village, it would be best to pretend to be a scholar.
It is better to have tools than installable ones!
Jia Pingan plans to take a book and go out for a walk every day when he is bored, and slowly change his status.
Later, the day's tofu was sold out again, so Yang Deli went to the quality warehouse in the city with the money and receipts.
The so-called quality library originally originated from temples, where real estate can be used to mortgage money. Most of today's quality libraries are still in the hands of temples, but there is a private quality library in the market here in Huazhou, and Yang Deli pawned Jia Ping's books to them.
Yang Deli arrived at the market before noon, so he couldn't trade.
According to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, the market in each place must start trading at noon and close before sunset.
Yang Deli bought a few steamed cakes for a penny, squatted at the gate of the market and ate one, and then looked at the remaining steamed cakes, finally broke off a piece and ate it, and resolutely threw away the remaining steamed cakes. into the arms.
Although Lao Jia's family has gradually become rich by making tofu, Yang Deli, who was poor and afraid of poverty since childhood, still has a stingy style.
Boom boom boom...
The market began to beat the drums. According to the rules, at noon, the market drums were beaten three hundred times, and then trading began.
But this is not Chang'an, it's not that particular, it's just that as soon as the drums sounded, people poured into the market.
The market in Huazhou has everything. You can understand it as a large shopping mall in later generations. Basically, everything that people want to buy is here.
Among the crowds, Yang Deli found the pledge warehouse, took out the receipt, and said, "Come and redeem that box of books."
The clerk of the quality warehouse took a look at the receipt and said, "Wait."
Yang Deli turned around and saw those businessmen and customers talking loudly, and there was even a Hu businessman selling Hu biscuits with a few orchids.
Most of these orchids sell wine in wine shops opened by Hu people, and not many sell Hu biscuits. What are they wearing... Yang Deli stared intently until an orchid winked at him, then subconsciously covered his lower body with his hands.
Yang Deli licked his lips, "It's so **** pretty!"
The old Jia’s family is too poor, and no one in Yangjiawu thinks highly of him and Jia Pingan. If everything remains the same, Datang will have two more bachelors.
"Hey hey hey!"
It’s like getting five percent interest for future generations, but the lowest denomination of currency is one penny, how to give this five percent? I can't give it!
This is a routine. When someone comes to **** something, Quality Library will make a fuss about the interest, otherwise how could it be possible to get half a penny of interest?
Most people don't care about the half a penny, they give it all.
The buddy felt that there was no problem, so he reached out and asked for money.
Yang Deli's eyeballs gradually became round...
"Why?"
He said angrily: "That's half a penny, and it can buy a lot of things!"
The prices in Datang are not bad at present. Five pennies can buy a bucket of rice, and half a penny can indeed buy some things.
But this is a quality library!
Banwenqian is no different from cabbage in Zhiku, and no one will compete with Zhiku for half a Wenqian.
So someone laughed and said, "It's so stingy."
The guy sneered and said, "Then why don't you give some half a penny?"
This is the routine of the quality library. If you have the ability, you can break a penny and get half of it on one side. But half of the copper coins are broken coins and can't be used!
At this time, there is not much coin collection. Except for those guys who like to bring a lot of copper coins to the grave, the only use of copper coins is to spend.
Dude thinks Yang Deli will give in.
Yang Deli nodded seriously, "Okay. Break the copper coins in half."
This guy actually agreed, this idea made the guy want to vomit blood.
Everyone says that the quality library is an iron cock, and you can break it in half for a penny.
But now there is a guy who is more stingy than an iron cock, which makes people stunned.
Yang Deli took out the money bag, slapped it on the counter one by one, and counted it again.
The clerk was surprised to find that the guy was looking at the copper coins with affectionate eyes, just like looking at a peerless beauty, knowing that he had met an opponent, so he turned around and nodded at the shopkeeper.
Boss, here comes a guy who is more ruthless than us, what should we do?
The shopkeeper glanced at him, walked over calmly, and said: "There is only a certain quality warehouse in the market. If you want to **** next time, you need to know the truth of being kind."
"Being kind and honest?" Yang Deli pondered for a while, and said, "You mean to say, if XX doesn't give this half a penny today, XX won't be able to find a place to **** next time?"
It is common for the poor to **** things. If you offend the warehouse, they will either refuse your business next time, or they will lower your **** price.
Half a penny doesn't seem like much, but it can't stand every business!
What is the essence of a businessman? The particles should be returned to the warehouse if they are beneficial, and a layer of oil will be scraped out from the legs of the locusts.
That's why the shopkeeper refused to bow his head.
He felt that Yang Deli would bow his head and regret it.
Yang Deli was stunned, and then said: "I won't be a certain person in the future!"
He felt that his cousin had become enlightened since he was buried alive. Obviously, this was the effect of the Broom God. With the God of brooms, Lao Jia's family will still be short of money? At least selling tofu can maintain a decent life.
The shopkeeper gasped, seeing that there were so many people outside, he knew he had to make a decision. His eyelids twitched, and he wanted to refuse, but he was worried about damaging his reputation, so he sneered and said, "Fuck you! But you can't break the copper coins here."
Half a penny is nothing, but now that there are more people watching, the shopkeeper feels ashamed and unhappy.
"Sure!" Yang Deli ran to borrow a hammer and a chisel, and began to divide the copper coins outside the quality warehouse. He even accidentally hit the back of his hand with a hammer, and the injured area was immediately bruised.
Someone couldn't bear it and said: "It's just half a penny, and besides, it won't be usable after breaking it."
Yang Deli shook his head, "This is copper! At least it will be useful later."
The people on the side want to cover their foreheads together, thinking how stingy they are to do such a thing!
After chiseling off the copper coins, Yang Deli gave half to the shopkeeper, and kept the other half for himself.
The shopkeeper held half a copper coin in a daze, thinking that he had been in the warehouse industry for many years and had never suffered a loss. Today, he lost to a short and thin farmer. He was really aggrieved and wanted to go crazy!
Yang Deli successfully got the box of books, and was ready to go back proudly. The guy felt that the quality library was ashamed today, so he asked sinisterly: "Where is your family?"
This is a threat, just like saying harsh words after losing a street fight, it is actually impossible to implement it.
Yang Deli felt that he had saved half a penny, and he was in a great mood, so he said casually: "It's from Yangjiawu."
The buddy's heart trembled, "Yang Jiawu, do you know that there is a broom star?"
"That's a certain cousin."
It turned out to be the cousin of the broom star. The shopkeeper and the clerk put their hands together and recited the Buddha's name.
"I beg the Buddha to bless me."
"The new governor is here."
At this moment, there was some noise outside. It turned out that the new governor passed by outside.
Yang Deli followed to watch the fun. Seeing the new governor sitting on horseback, he was not angry and pretentious. He couldn't help praising: "What are you looking at righteously? What's the matter... It really is the envoy."
Someone on the side said: "You are upright and awe-inspiring!"
"Yes, yes, yes, with awe-inspiring righteousness." Yang Deli said enviously: "If one day we can do the same, how great would it be?"
…
Yang Deli, the son of luck, cupped his hands tearfully, "Master readers, please support me."
