Chapter 12 Money Comes Together
After a while, Qing Song came out with ten men in strong suits to collect the gold brought by Niu Nan in person, but there were less than 100 altars of the third grade, and there were only 97 altars, so Qing Song called the pillar and whispered: "Go to the backyard immediately, let Xiao Gang write the third grade with the three jars and two tastings of wine, and deliver it to Niu Nan! Tell your brothers in the backyard to start making the second and third grades of wine, and you will personally guard it! I kept doing it without shouting to stop, and called out all the cars in Shigang Village to work!"
Two large boxes were unloaded from the cart brought by Niu Nan, one full of one box was one hundred and twenty gold, and half of the box was thirty-eight gold, a total of one hundred and fifty-eight gold, which was checked by the stones one by one, and it took a long time before the inspection was completed. The pen, fun, and pavilion boxes were carried by the strong men to www.biquge.info the door and put down, and the cow man began to look at the wine. The drunken wine of the immortals in a jar was overflowing with the fragrance of Kaifeng wine, and at this time, the backyard was also stepping up its preparation. Fill the jar with a scoop of water, and seal it with hemp rope animal skin, and after the jar is loaded, send it to the front yard and pile it up, and the backyard does not dare to let people come in to visit. After looking at more than 30 jars of wine outside the gate one after another, Niu Nan began to spot check, and after opening more than 10 jars, Niu Nan did not dare to open them. The smell of wine is already all over the streets, how many fine wines are going to be run away? It can't be opened anymore, and it's too late to tie the seal! There are more and more onlookers. Niu Nan began to direct the people he brought to load the car, and at this time, another twenty gold business also brought gold. He didn't have a car and asked Qingsong to help send him home, so Qingsong asked his uncle to take two strong men to be driven by people from Shigang Village.
For a while, the whole yard was mobilized, and some of the tasters might come back with gold immediately, and ten cars were not enough at all. When the business of twenty gold was completed and sent home, Niu Nan was still loading the car. It turned out that Niu Nan's family was a wine shop, no wonder he could eat so much wine and take out so much gold. Waiting for all the wine of the cow man to be loaded and pulled away, Qing Song looked at the rest of the people who wanted less, it was difficult to have a hundred jars of business, and left a big name, beckoned the stone to collect the money, and let the man Niu carry a few sons into the door with gold.
After entering the courtyard, I couldn't help but laugh three times, so much gold could turn over now. Before the inventory is completed, the existing wine jar totals the two hundred jars of wine, and the second wine accounts for thirty percent, so it is not enough to count the three wine tastes in the front yard. Hurriedly entered the backyard and ordered to immediately stop the preparation of the second tasting wine, and hurry out of the ten jars of three tasting wine, at this time it was almost time for lunch, who would get lunch to eat? I was not in a hurry to make lunch by myself, and happiness came too suddenly! Although I was out and negotiated with the buyer with a straight face, after entering the yard, I couldn't help laughing three times, and now my mood was completely chaotic, so I had to ask Xiao Gang: "Xiao Gang! I didn't expect to buy it so quickly, your uncles and uncles are too busy! Now we can't even spare the manpower to cook lunch, what should we do?"
Xiao Gang also replied with a smile and asked: "Let the wine delivery car not be busy and come back, first find a place to book a meal, and let them send a meal for fifty people! How much wine is being sold outside now? What grade is it?" Qing Song suddenly realized: "Yes! Now that they have money, it would be good for them to bring food back to eat outside! It has already been loaded and sent away one hundred and forty jars of three products, and eighty jars of two products!" Xiao Gang estimated it and said: "One hundred jars of two products and one hundred altars of three grades I made last night." I have just made three times, 60 jars of 2 products, 60 jars of 3 products, and I will soon replenish 200 altars of 3 products. We still have 44 jars of original sorghum wine left that have not been concocted! How many people are still queuing up outside to buy it? Can you estimate how much more they want?" Qing Song recalled and replied: "There are still more than 20 people in the queue who have not ordered wine, but I can't estimate how much wine they want!" Xiao Gang said: "Oh! What about those that have already been ordered?" "In addition to the ones that have already been taken away by the car, there are still 200 jars, of which only 60 are for the second grade, and 140 jars are for the third grade!" Xiao Gang continued: "Oh! Let's go and tell Muramasa right away that we only have 60 jars of 2 grades and 200 jars of 3 grades! We won't sell anything that exceeds this amount! Just let Uncle Manniu tell him! Grandpa Qingsong stayed to help me write, and I can't keep myself busy!"
An old man and a young man began to write, and Xiao Gang, who had not blended the remaining forty-four jars, let the forty jars be made into one hundred and sixty altars of three immortals drunk!
The adults didn't have lunch until the end of the day, and Xiao Gang and Qing Song ate some dried pork as soon as they arrived. The adults, including the coachman from Shigang Village, began to carry wine to the car and deliver it after lunch. Busy until the end of the unitary hour to finish and stay up tired, everyone worked together to roll noodles and used up 100 catties of flour to make dinner, but many people were too tired to eat much. Xiao Gang said: "It's not good! Tomorrow morning, some people will eat freshly made, and some people will eat the rest of the night! Let's give the rest of the noodles to the cows and horses! Tomorrow everyone will take a break and eat better! Now that there is enough money, it doesn't matter who eats the rest of the uncles and uncles, but we have also invited people from Shigang Village not to treat people badly!"
The crowd helped the coachman take care of the cattle and horses, and then boiled water to wash his face and burn his feet and sleep. Halfway through the time in Qingsong's room, the pillar hugged Xiao Gang, Qingsong sat on the edge of the bed, the stone was holding a knife and pen to settle the accounts, Qingshi and his uncle were counting the gold, and the bull was giving the stone a lamp! So many gold and stones were calculated for a long time and still didn't understand! Qingsong stroked his beard and smiled: "Don't forget it! Stone, you can count how many bars are left! Qingshi gold, can you order it? How much gold is there?" The stone said: "There are still twenty jars of wine left, fifteen jars of three grades, and four jars of unprepared!" Qingshi said: "I can't count!" The two boxes were full of 200 gold, and I couldn't count the piles scattered on the ground! It was too dazzling! I guess there must be more than 100 gold! Qing Song said: "Since you can't count them, don't count them! Find all the small sacks brought by the family, and put 10 gold bags in each bag! Xiao Gang's uncle padd some and took out three gold for him, and some stones were also padded and took two gold first! You have weighed all the gold today, right? Is the condition okay?" Muramasa hurriedly replied: "Uncle and the elder gave too much!" I have weighed every piece of gold, and the fineness is also very good, and the people who can exchange the gold for wine and food are generally decent people, so the fineness is still okay!" Qingsong nodded and said: "But not all of them are decent people, and many of them don't buy them back to eat! Some are ready to buy them back as gifts, and some are ready to buy them back for business! If someone comes to the door tomorrow to ask for wine, they will sell the remaining second and third products, and the four jars will not be touched." When the cool skin came over, it was prepared and distributed to the officials of the Terracotta Division! We made breakfast by ourselves, and then we paid for lunch and asked someone to cook it, and invited five people to cook it for nine days, and gave them two taels of gold, and we couldn't make it too bad!"
Qingshi and Manniu went to find the sack and squatted on the ground to pick up the gold, and the uncle also helped pick it up. After filling the sacks, I saw that there were thirty bags and a small pile, and then I knew that more than five hundred gold had been sold, so I had to arrange five vigils, three to guard the courtyard, and two to guard the bedroom of the green pine.
After dawn, everyone ate porridge for breakfast, and then the stone and bluestone went out to find someone to cook, and the people who were invited to live honestly although the craftsmanship was not very safe, they were completely assured. In order to make so much money, they temporarily foster all the children in their families to neighbors' homes.
All the rest of the wine was bought, and later some people came to ask for wine but were refused. In a flash, another four days passed, and on the sixth day, Liang Pi arrived at the post station with twenty leather-armored soldiers and twenty-five carriages, and met the pillar that was waiting for him. He parked the carriage at the post station and handed over to the post station steward to take care of it, and he took all the coachmen and twenty leather armor soldiers to the courtyard rented by Qingsong and went to the post station steward, and the post station steward naturally carefully served the carriage and horses he left. No one dared to make trouble with him along the way, and the veteran ruffian followed Liangpi and nodded his head. Liangpi was also very proud, and the people who brought it said: "The food at the post station is too bad, we don't have to eat him today, let's eat well!" There are vegetables, meat, and soup, and they are all red with white rice. Although Liangpi has done some bad things, but he still understands the way of leading soldiers, squatting in the yard and eating with everyone before going to the backyard to ask Qingsong and Qingshi to say goodbye!
Qingshi heard that the boiling water was buried not far outside Fengxian County, so he immediately asked the cook to prepare the sacrifice, and held a jar of original sorghum wine that had not been opened, and asked Shi to drive the carriage to worship Qingsong, so he had to carry Xiaogang and follow him. The carriage carried a few people to the post station to change the carriage and horses, and Liangpi rode on the military horse and led the way to the grave of boiling water after more than half an hour. Although it is still a grave made of stones, it is already overgrown with weeds. Put the offerings on the table, open the sorghum wine, and pour all the wine into the ground, and for a while the aroma of the wine is overflowing, since there is a feeling of being drunk in the wind. Liang Pi was shocked: "Godfather, what is this? Since it is so violent!" Qingshi replied: "This is an immortal drunk original wine, with a price but no market, four hardware and one altar." It's a pity that Brother Boiling Water couldn't get this wine before his death! Brother Boiling Water! Qingshi and his brother have come to see you, if you have a spirit to come and get together!" A gust of wind blew, and the sorghum wine on the ground suddenly dried up a lot! Liangpi kowtowed: "Dad! Are you here? My son has kowtowed to your old man! My godfather and uncle have come to visit you, and your old man can rest assured! My uncle has found me, and his old man will take care of our family in the future, and our whole family's life will be better!" The breeze blew the tomb that had just been planted on the grave, as if it was telling and thanking! Qingshi also said: "Brother boiling water, don't worry! I will take care of my righteous son in the future, if he is not obedient, I will slap him!" Liangpi hugged Qingshi's thigh and cried and said: "Godfather! Where have you been all these years? If you want to beat the child, you can beat the child, just do it! Dad is gone, don't beat the child too hard, you can't tire your old man anymore!" Qingshi was excited and held his shoulder: "Son! Godfather wants to earn a surname for you and your father!" Do you know why my uncle and I haven't come to you for so many years?" Liangpi looked at Qingshi dumbfounded: "I don't know! I only know that you want to build a city!" Qingshi glanced at Qingsong, Qingsong glanced at Xiaogang again, and nodded to Qingshi when he saw that Xiaogang did not object. Qingshi said: "It's building a city, but it's been eighty-three years and five generations, and it can't be done in order to earn a noble surname." But God has given us a chance, and now we can succeed! Son, I can't tell you any more things! You follow your uncle well, and when our business is completed, we will find a way to earn a place for your family!" Liangpi knelt on the ground and kowtowed and broke his scalp, Qingshi helped him up in distress: "Let's go, let's go back to the city!"
Several people hurried back to Fengxian County in a hurry, and when they returned to the courtyard, they saw that the coachman and the soldiers were still there. Liangpi asked the veteran ruffian to take them to the post station to rest, and Qingsong asked Shi Shi to bring some silver to the veteran ruffian so that they could have a better dinner. The veteran ruffian also kowtowed to Qingsong with a cheeky face to thank him, and then took the people away. A family meeting was held in Qingsong's room again, and even dinner was eaten in the room. Several people discussed the purchase of retired military horses, and when it came to the lack of manpower, they proposed to recruit retired soldiers. However, if a leather soldier has been in work for ten years, he can retire by himself, and he must retire after twenty years. Retired soldiers can choose their family's household registration in the county, and as long as they spend some money, they can make a difference. Referring to the lack of iron ingots, Liangpi asked: "Uncle, godfather, your family has been established for eighty-three years, but there is an edict from the king of that year? Show the edict and give a certain amount of gold and silver, and we can buy a large number of iron ingots in stock in Fengxian County!" Now the iron ingots are also available! That night, I used the remaining three jars of sorghum wine to make eight jars of two grade immortals, and at dawn I loaded them into a carriage and prepared to go out on errands.
Liangpi first took the soldiers and horses, Qingsong, Qingshi, and Zhuzi Xiaogang went to the county town and received charcoal, and then offered an altar of immortals to get drunk, and put forward three things in the Soldiers and Horses Division and the Soldiers and Horses, and introduced the green pine and bluestone. After checking the edict brought by the green pine, the pillar was presented with ten gold. The envoy did not dare to accept it, and only after repeated inquiries did he say: "This gold is hot! First of all, I don't have many retired horses and soldiers here." You'll need to go to the castle keeper for the iron ingots you want, but I can't get that many retired horses and soldiers, but I can introduce you to the camp outside the city. There are 10,000 armored cavalry of my Great Qin, and 40,000 permanent soldiers are all serving military horses, and their status is humble. You have a lot of money, and if you give them a lot of money, they will definitely take refuge with your family!" Liangpi once again begged the soldiers and horses to accept the gold and said: "Shangguan still please accept the thin gifts! Outside the city, we need you to take them with us in person, and the city guards will also have to worry about the Shangguan's introduction! This is not a lot of gifts!" The soldiers and horses envoys smiled: "Oh! Do you still use the old man?" Thinking in his heart, this child can be a man! Qing Song also smiled and said: "Of course it is not much, the courtesies are still exchanged! I will need your help in the future! Today this is just a gift of meeting and acquaintance!" At that moment, after a few words of greeting, the soldiers and horses took everyone to the city guard mansion to find the city guard, the city guard is a nobleman with a surname, surnamed Li Mingkuan, and the word Siran. Usually very proud, like vassal elegance, when I saw the wine, I smiled, and when I saw the gold, I was about to turn my face. Or Qingsong said: "Lord Cheng Shou, this money is not a private bribe from us, but is dedicated to Fengxian County for the use of the people! Lord City Shou, don't misunderstand!" The city guard accepted it and was overjoyed: "If the rich and noble people in the world are as concerned about the people of Li as the old gentleman, why worry about my Daqin!" After Qing Song ordered someone to carry a whole box of gold, the city guard ordered the man to open the treasury and allocate 10,000 catties of iron ingots to sell to Qing Song, all the bills were recorded, and the 25 carriages of iron ingots allocated had to buy other items and could not be pulled away at all. Qing Song asked the pillar to offer two gold and the treasury steward to let him allocate the treasury to store it here temporarily, and the internal price of the iron ingot was so cheap that no one thought of it.
According to the price of ten gold for the retired military horses in the Terracotta Division, Qingsong asked the pillar to go back to the courtyard to get one hundred gold, and the Terracotta Envoy took everyone to the camp outside the city immediately. Qing Song said: "My lord, wait a minute, it is already noon when we arrive at the camp outside the city, and we can't go empty-handed!" With twenty-five carriages, he swept the vegetable market in Fengxian County fiercely, and even found a butcher to buy pigs and fat sheep and take them to the camp outside the city. The soldiers and horses boasted: "The old gentleman is benevolent and righteous, so that we can enter the camp in the name of consolation and meet the general!"
