Chapter 011: Household Registration and Ahmad Xiang
Ships docked.
Wang Yunhai and Wang Yuncang took more than a dozen boatmen to thank Wang Chen.
"Thank you so much, benefactor. ”
"If it weren't for you, we would all be buried at the bottom of the ocean today. ”
"In the future, as long as you say a word, go up the sword mountain and down the sea of fire, I, Wang Yuncang, will never frown. ”
Yes, this old boy had eyes that were not eyes and noses when he first got on the boat, and now he is going to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire.
It's normal, after all, Wang Chen saved their lives.
Now he has no heart to think about anything else, he only wants to find an economically prosperous area to sell the goods he carries, and the area where the ship docks is deserted.
"Where is this?" Wang Chen pulled Wang Yunhai and asked.
Wang Yunhai carefully identified it and said, "Engong, if I guessed correctly, this place is Buzhou, and it is not too far from Dongzhou. ”
"Dongzhou?Buzhou?" Wang Chen was a little foggy.
Wang Yuncang stammered: "You don't know, our place has been collectively called Dongbuzhou since the Later Zhou, although it was later renamed Haitong County, but we still use Buzhou and Dongzhou to divide the boundary. He was quite clever and got to the point, "Where do you want to go? ”
There is nothing to hide, Wang Chen said bluntly: "I want to go to Tongzhou." ”
"You mean the city, right?" Wang Yuncang frowned and said: "I think it's too late today, it's hundreds of miles away from the city, and besides, I see you living on the sandbar, I'm afraid that all the household registration certificates will be lost, if the government asks, there will be no household registration...... Will ......"
He didn't finish his sentence.
Wang Chen was not stupid, and immediately understood the meaning.
In the eighth year of Kaibao in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty was not completely unified, and the Song army was fighting fiercely with the Southern Tang Army on the Qinhuai River.
Wang Yunhai added, "If you don't have a household registration, it's difficult to move an inch, and Tongzhou City can't enter." ”
Yes?
Can't get into the state city without a household registration?
That's not to mention taking things to economically prosperous places to sell.
Wang Chen was instantly disappointed, in this poor and remote country, even if he sells things, he may not be able to sell them at a good price.
He was a little anxious in his heart, according to Wang Yunhai and others, household registration is very important, and he will often do business in the Northern Song Dynasty in the future, if there is no household registration, it seems very inconvenient.
"Why don't you go to our side for one night first?" Wang Yunhai proposed: "Let's thank you for your life-saving grace." ”
Seeing that the energy was not yet full and Tongzhou City could not enter, although Wang Chen was unwilling, he finally accepted this suggestion.
……
Wait until the storm is a little lesser.
A group of more than a dozen people boarded the ship again.
Wang Yunhai and Wang Yuncang were very familiar with this place, so they let the boatmen control the boat, and after more than half an hour of driving, they soon came to the wharf of Wangjia Village.
Before he got off the boat, Wang Chen, who was standing at the bow of the boat, saw the crowds on the dock.
A large group of women and children were looking at the sea in fear.
When they saw their ship coming, they burst into cheers!
"Daddy, they're back!"
"Ye is fine, the goose family is fine!"
"I'm scared to death, God forbid!"
Wang Chen followed them off the boat and watched Wang Yunhai, Wang Yuncang and others comfort their wives and children.
They talked a little about their experience at sea, focusing on how they were rescued by Wang Chen, and those women and children knelt down to thank them, so that Wang Chen hurriedly helped them up one by one.
He's not interested in that.
Even so, almost half of the people in Wangjia Village regarded Wang Chen as a benevolent father, and they wanted to go to their respective houses for dinner one by one.
In the end, it was Wang Yunhai who overrode the public opinion and invited Wang Chen over.
in the house.
One after another, the boatman's family sent things to thank Wang Chen, some people were more direct and sent copper coins, and some people were more tactful and took chickens, ducks, fish and geese, which made Wang Chen cry and laugh, and refused one by one.
It wasn't until four or five o'clock in the afternoon that calm returned.
Wang Yunhai's daughter-in-law Xu and daughter-in-law Xiaohui were busy with dinner, while Wang Chen and Wang Yunhai were sitting in the courtyard chatting.
"Engong, I'll say a lot. Wang Yunhai was shirtless and said, "Where is your original household registration?" If it is inconvenient to return to your original household registration, in my opinion, it is better to hang it in my family's name, and say that it is my long-lost brother, and it will be more convenient to enter and exit in the future. ”
Wang Chen's eyes lit up, and he said, "The household registration is in your name?
Wang Yunhai didn't understand what this operation meant, but he still carefully explained: "If others want to do this, it may be a little difficult, but my second master is the head of Wang's village, and it is not a problem to add a person to the household register, but there is a word I must say first, even if your household registration is in my house, at most you can only be counted as a customer, not the main household." ”
What kind of customer owner Wang Chen didn't understand, the only thing he knew was that if he had a hukou, he would be able to facilitate business next, so he immediately agreed, he knew that Wang Yunhai was to thank him for saving his life.
"There's Brother Lao Wang. Wang Chen said.
Wang Yunhai laughed and said, "Then the two of us will be brothers in the future." As he spoke, he shouted to his son not far away, twenty-three or four-year-old Wang Wenjie, "Wenjie, come and call uncle." "The ancients married relatively early, and some families had children at the age of thirteen or fourteen, which is the case with Wang Yunhai.
Wang Chen: "......"
Wang Wenjie: "......"
The two were about the same age, so it was inappropriate to call them uncles.
may have seen that his son didn't react, Wang Yunhai's eyes widened, "Did you let your uncle hear it?"
Wang Wenjie said helplessly: "Uncle." ”
Wang Chen sweated for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Don't, don't, I'm about the same age as Wen Jie, how can I call it that?"
"Hey, I'm commensurate with your brother, wouldn't he take advantage of me if he doesn't call you uncle?" Wang Yunhai was very concerned about this aspect.
As he spoke, there was a sound of footsteps outside.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Yuncang's voice came in, "Engong, Engong, I'm here to thank you." ”
When the other boatmen sent things to thank him, he didn't see Wang Yuncang, and Wang Chen didn't care, anyway, he couldn't look at the things sent by these fishermen.
"Fifth Brother Wang. Wang Chen said hello, and when he chatted before, he learned that Wang Yuncang was the fifth in the family, so he followed the local customs.
"I can't do it. Wang Yuncang hurriedly waved his hand, put down the small burden in his hand with a smile, and said, "Guess what I sent to Engong?"
Wang Chen politely refused: "Fifth brother, there is no need to send things, if you didn't take me out of the sea, I might have died." ”
"Hey, how can you say that. Wang Yuncang said with a straight face: "The grace of saving lives is the grace of saving lives, if you don't let me repay it, I will not be able to sleep well for the rest of my life." As he spoke, he continued as he unwrapped his baggage, "This time, I brought the heirloom to thank you." ”
Wang Yunhai on the side was startled, and hurriedly said, "Yuncang, didn't you bring that kind of thing?"
Wang Yuncang laughed hesitantly, "Yes, compared to the life of the family, what is such a thing?"
Wang Yunhai smiled bitterly, "If you are like this, how can I thank Engong?"
Seeing that they were playing dumb riddles, it seemed that things were quite valuable, and Wang Chen became interested.
What is it that makes the Wang family cousins show this expression?
Just thinking about it, Wang Yuncang had already opened the baggage, and a solid waxy thing of yin gray appeared, about the size of half a fist, and it also exuded a sweet earthy fragrance.
Hey?
What is this?
Wang Chen is a little strange, just such a tattered and dusty thing, is it still a baby?
The next moment, Wang Yuncang's words let him know that this is not only a baby, but also a great baby!
I saw Wang Yuncang look around left and right, lowered his head and lowered his voice: "This is one or two Ahmad incense!"
