In the countryside, it was past five o'clock in the afternoon.

The sun was setting, dyeing half the sky red.

Wang Chen knew that the maximum energy applied by the red dragon mark had reached 475.

If it grows naturally, it takes about 79 hours to get full, which is more than three days and three nights.

He came back this time for two days and two nights.

If you add a little energy in ten minutes, the value should be more than two hundred now.

It is also true that when Wang Chen opened the red dragon mark and put the goods in, he saw that the value of the energy gauge was (264/475).

It stands to reason that it will take about 35 hours to cross.

But I don't know why, when he came out of the space, he found that the value of the energy gauge increased rapidly.

+1。

+3。

+5。

In just one hour, it has increased by 66 points.

Well?

What's going on?

Wang Chen felt a little surprised, he didn't understand after thinking for a while, he simply didn't think much about it, cleaned up the house a little, and rushed to his grandmother's house for dinner.

Grandma's house.

Before I stepped into the threshold, I heard a burst of laughter inside.

"Jin Nan, your grandson is out of breath. ”

"The village is saying that Xiaochen became the boss at a young age. ”

"Yes, Yonglin, can you talk to Xiao Chen and let my grandson run after him?"

Yonglin and Jin Nan are the names of Wang Chen's grandparents.

He poked his head in, and found seven or eight neighbor aunts and uncles chatting with their grandparents, and when he saw so many people inside, talking about himself, he instinctively wanted to hide.

As soon as he turned around and was about to leave, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

I remember that after crossing to Guhaitong and encountering a storm in the sea, it seems that the energy value has also jumped sharply, Wang Chen has analyzed the reason, it should be that he has a certain impact on the outside world, which will increase the energy.

Just now, the energy increased by more than sixty points in one hour.

What impact do you have on the outside world?

Could it be that the villagers and neighbors praise it openly and secretly?

Wang Chen felt that there was only this possibility, otherwise it would not be explained.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get excited, if it was really as he guessed, the time of crossing in the future could be shortened a lot, and when he urgently needed energy to cross, he could completely create some influence!

Wang Chen patted his head, yes, he didn't pay attention to this stubble before, and how much time he wasted going back and forth.

……

Had dinner.

Wang Chen observed the energy value again and found that it was still growing rapidly.

Although it did not increase as fast as from 5 to 6 p.m., from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., when he fell asleep, he had an average of 278 points of energy growth in an hour.

He didn't look at it and slept.

Wake up the next day.

Wang Chen yawned and glanced at his phone.

Energy Gauge Value: (475/475)!

It's full!

Save a day and a night!

He was ecstatic, his sleepiness was swept away, he hurriedly got up to freshen up, didn't even eat breakfast, and drove the JEEP car to Wolf Mountain, the "safe crossing area".

……

Travel back to the Northern Song Dynasty.

Wang Chen, as always, observed the change in the maximum value of energy.

That's an increase of 110 points!

Energy gauge value: (0/585).

Taking out the mountain bike, Wang Chen muttered to himself, "The space is almost twelve cubic meters, and you can drive JEEP over next time." ”

Ride for half an hour.

Return to Tongzhou City.

Wang Chen did the same, rented a donkey cart, and sent the goods back to the shop four or five times.

Wang Ji.

On the second floor, it served as a warehouse.

At the staircase, just after moving the goods with Jobs, Xu Jiang and others, Wang Chen wiped his sweat and prepared to go downstairs.

Who would have thought that there would be a rush of footsteps below.

Then, Wang Yuncang appeared at the bend of the stairs and shouted: "Mr. Wang, you are back, I have been urged to death by the housekeepers of the rich squires in this county in the past two days!" He has always called Wang Chen "Mr. Wang" in front of outsiders, and only when he is alone will he be called "Brother Chen".

"Hurry what? Let them wait, not in a hurry. Wang Chen looked calm and relaxed.

Wang Yuncang snorted, "Aren't we making money?"

"Earn, why don't you earn?" Wang Chen was too lazy to explain the philosophy of hunger marketing, good things, let the rich squires wait for it, so that they would feel that it was worth the money when they got it, he changed the topic while going down the stairs and said, "Why didn't I see you when I came back just now?"

Wang Yuncang said with a smile: "Didn't you say that I should take the family over, when you left the day before yesterday, I asked someone to send a message back, and they just arrived, so I went to pick it up." ”

"Yo, sister-in-law and nephew, they're here? Wang Chen quickened his pace.

……

Downstairs.

As soon as he went, Wang Chen saw more than a dozen people standing at the door, the oldest woman was about thirty-five or sixteen years old, and the youngest was a girl who was held in her hands, no more than two years old.

He thought that some of them were customers, so he turned around and said in wonder, "Fifth brother, which ones are your family?"

Wang Yuncang pointed to the crowd and said, "It's all." ”

Wang Chen's eyes darkened, and he said in confusion: "There are more than a dozen people in your family?"

"More than that. Wang Yuncang waved his hand, "My parents and brothers are future, but I just called my wife and children over." He stepped forward to assume the identity of the head of the family, and said solemnly: "Big brother, second brother, third brother, Hun family, come and see the owner." ”

Hun family is the name of the wife.

The eldest brother, second brother, and third brother were the names of their sons in the Song Dynasty.

Of course, if a surname is added in front, for example, Wang Chen is called Wang Yunhai Wang Da Brother, then it is indeed the meaning of "big brother" in modern colloquial language.

It's too much to call the owner.

Since Wang Yuncang sacrificed himself to save himself, Wang Chen regarded him as his own in his heart, waved his hand and said: "I am friends with the fifth brother on the same level, so I don't need to see outside." ”

The woman immediately stepped forward and said, "Uncle." ”

Wang Yuncang's sons and daughters-in-law also greeted him, "Uncle." ”

As for Wang Yuncang's wife calling herself "uncle", Wang Chen can understand that Pan Jinlian in "Water Margin" is not called Uncle Wu Song? Uncle can barely accept it.

This is nothing, what is it, Wang Yuncang's grandsons and granddaughters, they greeted each other with gossip: "Hello uncle!"

Wang Chen almost fell to the ground, lying on the ground, buddy is only in his twenties, you call me uncle?

And Wang Chen also thought of a question, how to arrange so many people?

There are already five small servants and five nursing homes in the store, and now counting Wang Yuncang's older grandchildren, there are almost more than a dozen more people, and there are not enough jobs.

But before he took the initiative to ask Wang Yuncang to call his family, it was inappropriate to refuse again.

Forget it, let them stay and do whatever they want to get some salary, who made Wang Yuncang loyal to him?

Besides, the business scope of the shop will become wider and wider in the future, and it will definitely need manpower, so let's raise it first.

After Wang Chen thought about it, he discussed it with Wang Yuncang, and prepared everyone to pay a monthly salary of three yuan, which was a good treatment in the early Northern Song Dynasty, you must know that the butcher only earns more than 30 yuan a year.

However, unexpectedly, Wang Yuncang's wife did not participate in work because she had to take care of her children.

In the end, in addition to Wang Yuncang's three sons and daughters-in-law, there were three twelve or thirteen-year-old grandsons and a granddaughter, adding a total of ten people.

Wang Chen did not arrange a designated job for them, but asked Wang Yuncang to list the addresses of the rich squires, and asked Jobs, Xu Jiang and others to divide the goods to be delivered.

I was busy until seven or eight o'clock in the night.

Wang Chen asked everyone to go back to rest and prepare to deliver the goods tomorrow.

……

Next.

The sun rises.

Wang Chen rushed to the shop early, rented four or five donkey carts, and personally pledged the goods to give to the rich squires.

Xu Jiang was a little lazy and lazy in his work, and was reprimanded several times by Wang Yuncang.

However, Wang Yuncang's son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren work very hard.

The first one to be sent is Mr. Li's house.

It's not too far, it's a twenty-minute drive away.

Gaomen Compound.

Wang Chen asked Wang Dalang and them to stop, and walked to the door by himself to communicate with the "doorman".

When the "doorman" heard that it was Wang Ji's person, he immediately went in and called someone.

Not long after, Master Li personally walked out of it, and when he saw Wang Chen, he laughed and said, "Wang Yanei, I've finally waited for you." ”

"Yanei" was originally the official position in charge of the forbidden government, and the Tang Dynasty Xiangzhen Xiangyan took charge of this kind of position with his own and son, and the Song and Yuan dynasties called the children of the official family "Yanei", just like calling "Wang Sun" and "Gongzi".

Wang Chen recognized Zhu Xiancheng as his uncle, naturally half of the children of the official family, there is no problem in calling Yanei, he didn't dwell on this, and said with a smile: "Master Li, the goods are delivered, you can count them?"

Master Li waved his hand angrily, "No, no, I'll let the family move in." Immediately, he stretched out his hand to the inside, "Go in and sit down?" I heard that Wang Yanei is full of poetry and books, and I happen to have an ancient book, let's discuss it together?"

Originally, Wang Chen was really going to go in and deepen his impression with Master Li, but when he heard that his face was green when he studied the ancient books, he hurriedly made an excuse and said: "No, no, I have to deliver goods to other staff and squires, and come back another day." ”

Master Li said regretfully: "It's okay, how much is the total amount of thirty goods?"

"Forget the fraction, I'll charge you nine hundred and fifty. Wang Chen said.

Master Li thanked him, then took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve, he counted them, took out four, and said: "Copper and silver coins are inconvenient to carry, I will pay you to fly money, if you want to use cash to go to the yamen, someone will take you to withdraw money." ”

Wang Chen was stunned, "What is flying money?"

"Don't you know about flying money?" Master Li looked at him suspiciously, and explained the flying money in detail.

Flying money originated in the early years of Tang Xianzong and was the earliest paper money in China.

Generally speaking, there are two forms: one is the official office, where the merchant hands over the money to the army, the envoy or the "Jinjuyuan" set up in the capital by the province, and takes the coupon to the designated place in other regions to withdraw the money; the other is the private office, where the big businessman has a joint number or transaction in various provinces or major cities, and acts on behalf of the "exchange" to make profits, this exchange method on the one hand reduces the demand for copper coins and alleviates the shortage of currency, and at the same time, when the merchant goes to various places to carry out trade activities, it greatly reduces the inconvenience of carrying a large number of coins.

To be precise, flying money is the equivalent of a check in modern society.

However, it cannot be used as currency, and if you want to use it, you have to go to a designated department to exchange it for money.

Because flying money is anonymous, as long as it is "combined to withdraw money", it can be used as "currency" in large transactions.

The second is outside the money clerk.

Unfortunately, the money clerk is not at home, and the goods accepted by the housekeeper are also given flying money.

Fifty sets, Wang Chen received 1580 yuan of flying money.

The third house is the master of the book......

Sixth ......

Eleventh ......

Fifteenth ......

In a short time, nineteen families had been delivered, and only the farthest forester was left to send them.

I didn't receive a single steel hammer in cash, it was all flying money.

However, with Wang Chen's intentions, if he dragged a few carts of silver and copper coins away, he would not be at ease, after all, the security in ancient times was not as good as in modern society, and even in modern society, you may be coveted by bad people when you come on the road with hundreds or tens of millions.

On the way to the forester's house, Wang Chen touched a bunch of flying money in his pocket, about 12,300 yuan, he smiled slightly, secretly proud.

My buddy has unlocked his first achievement in the Northern Song Dynasty - a lot of money!

It's just that he is a little troubled by how to turn Wanguan money into useful things back to modern times, and then convert them into RMB?
