This time, the place where I was going to go to the countryside to sell goods was Changping County, a suburb of Beijing, where Peach's husband's family was located. Led by Tian Liang, assisted by Nalan guards, Gelong guards drove the car, and four personal soldiers were selling goods, and went to Changping early in the morning.
A little more than seventy miles away, the horse is a good horse, the car is a good car, or a rubber tire wheel, I don't know how many times faster than the kind of big car in the Qing Dynasty that "squeaks" when walking. The goods on the car were not yet sinking, and it was supposed to be almost a whole day's road, but it arrived at noon. Yun'er prepared a lot of food and drink for these sellers, and brought enough dry food and water.
Changping County is a county that Nalan is more familiar with, and he has also teamed up with the arresters here to arrest fugitives. I found a good place to sell my goods here: the square in front of the City God Temple. This is usually a city of mules and horses, and it is also a place where the county magistrate summons military and civilian people to gather and speak. Nalan was more generous than Tian, with a gong in his hand, and knocked on it violently, and then opened his voice and began to promote: "The fathers and brothers of Changping County, everyone has worked hard!" We came from the capital, and brought some chemical fiber silk cloth, which can be made into skirts and blouses, which are very strong and durable, but they cannot be scalded with hot water, and they cannot be baked in front of the brazier, otherwise they will shrink and harden.
These chemical fiber silks are sold in blocks, very cheap, large and small pieces, welcome to buy! Phew! β
There are Nalan guards at the beginning, others are not ashamed, take turns to publicize, the sound of gongs is to gather people, although this is the suburbs of Beijing, it is also a countryside, not the New Year's Festival, how can there be any excitement to see on weekdays, so people who hear the sound of gongs come from all directions, and when they hear that they are selling cloth, they all come to see the excitement. If it is hung on the pole, it can only be hung three or five pieces, Tian Liang took the lead, unfolded the cloth head, and held it up to show the audience: "This piece is a cloth head three feet long and four feet five inches wide, the price is thirty Wen, who wants to buy it?" "Thirty wen is six yuan in an exotic land, which is the price of one foot, and eighteen yuan for one meter, which is still very cost-effective. This kind of cloth is packed in woven bags, 20 kilograms per pocket, even if it is 10 yuan a bag, a kilogram of cloth, then there are 20 pieces of cloth, the average cost is five cents, and the net profit is five yuan and five. However, according to the Qing Dynasty brocade, the lowest price is 70 wen a foot, which is still much lower. Yun'er didn't want to make too much money, so she set it at thirty Wen. Seventy to fifty wen is also low enough. Fifty wen is not one foot, and when it comes to selling in blocks, it is two or three feet. With an average of only about ten words, it's no wonder that those aunts and sisters-in-law are crazy.
The big girl and little daughter-in-law under the cart were already so anxious that they couldn't stand it: "Wow! That piece of cloth is too pretty, isn't it? Third sister, the silk in the silk village in the city is more than 100 yuan per foot, and this is a three-foot, and so wide cloth only costs 30 yuan, did we hear it wrong? β
The "third sister" asked loudly: "That big brother, how much is the piece of flower silk cloth in your hand?" β
"Thirty texts. This is chemical fiber silk, not silk weaving, so it is cheap and strong. β
"Then I'll buy it, you keep it, I didn't bring any money with me, I'll go home and get the money immediately." ε «δΈ Chinese w net w ε «w δΈ. Say 8 Eight 1zw.com"
"Okay, you can hurry up, and you'll be selling it to someone else in half an hour."
Nalan picked up a piece of chemical fiber silk and showed it to the audience: "This piece is four and a half feet wide, two feet long, twenty-five wen, and there are people who buy it." β
Immediately, an old lady raised her hand and shouted, "I bought it, I bought it, no one should rob me!" β
Tian Liang had a few men who turned their heads and leaned forward, and said to a few people in the car, be careful, those guys seem to be about to rob. β
Tian Liang shouted: "It's all back!" Stand in two rows, don't shout, the sound is chaotic and you can't hear clearly! β
So people began to stand in line, even the countryman also knows what is cheap and what is expensive, even if it is not silk, it is silk. The government did not allow the people to wear silk and satin, and it was cost-effective to wear it as profane clothing. The women were afraid that they would not be able to buy it if they ran out of it, so they couldn't stand in a hurry, and their necks were stretched out.
Four people stood in the car and sold cloth at the same time, and the degree was still not slow. As soon as I finished selling a box and was about to drink some water to moisten my throat, I came from the west to take a green tweed sedan chair, and two maids and two housekeepers next to the sedan chair trotted all the way over.
When he came to the cart, one of the housekeepers said with his nostrils to the sky: "Stop! Didn't you see the sedan chair of Lord Gao's family Lingtang? If you don't come down to say hello to the old lady, what are you talking about? β
This is really a typical fox and fake tiger, here is really a mountain high emperor far away, a county magistrate is so arrogant. Say hello to her? Does she deserve it? Zhixian is the seventh grade, Nalan and Tian Liang are both the fifth grade, even Gelong is also the seventh grade, she is already kind enough if she didn't let her ask for herself, she is just the county magistrate's mother, she doesn't even have half a grade on her body, she is more majestic than the emperor! Tian Liang and Nalan disdained to talk to a family member and continued to sell goods.
The county magistrate's mother didn't let it, got down from the sedan chair, calmly faced, and walked to the cart: "Where are you wild boys from?" How can you not worship when you see the old body? β
Nalan is the best at dealing with scoundrels: "Who are you?" Why should those who don't know worship you? β
"Kochi Prefecture is the son of an old man." The old lady's dragon head crutches are about to be wielded.
"Is your son in Kochi Prefecture related to us? Besides, you don't know the county's mother, my mother is much better than you, and her son is a five-grade person. β
The old lady was a little unresponsive: "Your mother's son is a five-pin?" β
"Yes, five-grade big or seven-grade big? If you don't kowtow to us, you want us to kowtow to you? β
"Who can prove that your mother's son is a five-pin?"
"Who can prove that you are the mother of Kochi Prefecture? I'm sorry, we still have to sell cloth, and we don't have time to make you happy. Bayi Chinese wε «wε «wζ.81zw.com"
"You two go up and beat me to death!"
The people in the car laughed: "Just you? We don't beat you to death, we don't beat people, we are here to sell goods, everyone, this piece of flower cloth in my hand is four feet long, four and a half feet wide, forty-five wen, which one is ......?"
"Leave me the cloth! Get out of here, you guys! β
"Hey, hey! Who are you? Which mountain king's wife is so gangster? We came all the way to sell cloth to make money, not for nothing, and left the cloth for us to roll, seeing that you are so old, it is not good to scold you and beat you, if you want to get out, we have no time to take care of you. This cloth is ......"
The county master, his mother, almost fell down in anger. Is there anyone in Changping who dares to fight with her? No! It's really something that is a young tutor, dare to compete with the old body?
A family Ding Jia had already returned to the county government to inform Kochi County that the old lady had a conflict with a few young people on a cart selling cloth heads. didn't even have time to take off his official uniform, so he led a few catchers and officials to rescue his mother. His mother is not an ordinary woman, she is a chaste martyr of the imperial court, and there is a chaste archway in the center of the street!
This Kochi Prefecture is a widow, the old mother was widowed at the age of seventeen, with hard work to raise her son to adulthood, but also sold his dowry for his son to study, passed the Jinshi examination, in Kochi Prefecture to apply for the mother of the Lady of the Imperial Decree was known by the emperor for her glorious deeds, given a commendation. Now someone is bullying his mother, is it unbearable!
From afar, I saw a group of people gathered around a big cart, shouting and selling cloth. Kochi County was furious and waved his hand to the head catcher and official beside him: "Go, smash their cart for this county!" β
"Huh!" A dozen or so officials and catchers pounced on the cart like a few leopards.
Nalan Tian Liang on the cart saw it, and Nalan said to the guards and soldiers around him: "Everyone, pay attention, the opportunity to show your strength has arrived!" Then he shouted to the people who were standing in the row to buy cloth: "Everyone get out of the way!" The magistrate arrived. β
"What's going on?" Kochi's face was covered with a layer of frost, and without asking, he ordered his subordinates: "Smash me!" β
"Slow, slow! Isn't this Kochi Prefecture? See a little more clearly and then smash it, okay? Everything in our car is cloth, don't be afraid to smash, be careful not to smash your fists on cotton. β
"Nalan guards?" Kochi County's memory is not bad, and he actually recognized the Nalan guards. At the age of fifteen, Nalan inherited his father's head-hunting career and became a catcher in Shuntianfu. He learned martial arts from his father since he was a child, and he was vigorous, quick-witted, bold and careful, and arrested many fugitive criminals, and was promoted to head catcher at the age of eighteen. He also arrested the prisoners together with the catchers of several surrounding suburban counties, and many county magistrates knew Nalan. By chance, he was appreciated by the prince, and Shuntian Mansion Yin took the initiative to give Nalan to the prince's guards. This Kochi Prefecture is also one who knows Nalan. He is a magistrate, so he naturally understands that the lowest grade of the prince's personal guard is the seventh rank, and the Nalan guard has long been a fifth-grade martial artist. He is a seventh-grade, and there is an interval between sixth, sixth, and fifth-rank in the middle, and the Nalan guards are three or four grades older than Kochi Prefecture. The official college has a race for parents, and this is probably more than the grandparents. The hand that was about to be waved down hung in the air. Then he knelt down: "The lower official didn't know that Lord Nalan was here, welcome the late, and hope to beg for forgiveness!" β
"Tall, are you here to greet me? I just heard you say you're going to smash my car? β
"Aha, Lord Nalan misheard, the lower officials are to welcome a few of you to the county government to eat a few glasses of water and wine, why do people of your status still come out to sell cloth? Isn't it too hard? β
"My lord brought back some cloth from abroad and wanted to sell it and hand over the silver to the emperor and send it to the treasury. We are selling cloth for the prince, but your old mother said that we should leave all the cloth for her and let us go, don't you think it's too much? β
"This ......" Kochi's face immediately turned into a purple eggplant. The mother of Kochi Prefecture let her son slap her face too much! But when the son can't follow outsiders to watch his mother's jokes, right? So he hurriedly said: "Two, two, have you misunderstood?" Xiaguan's mother is a martyr of the emperor's appearance, so she won't have any disputes with the two, right? β
"You're pretending to be confused. Your mother is a martyr of the emperor's table, does it have anything to do with forcibly asking for the prince's cloth head? It turned out that we still saw that she was old and didn't want to care, but what she said was too much to give you eye medicine, and she clearly said to leave the cloth and let them go. We are selling cloth for the prince, and the money from selling the cloth is sent to the treasury, and we were robbed by your old lady on the way, how can we explain to the prince? β
Tian Liang wanted to burst into laughter, and even more wanted to go berserk. Nalan will also go on the line, scaring the magistrates stupid.
"Mother, these two are the guards next to Lord Rui, and the cloth they sell is for Prince Rui to make money for the emperor, what you just said is a bit excessive, are you going to accompany the two guards?"
"What do you say? Unfilial son! If I accompany the two of them, how will I behave in the future? β
Tian Liang whispered to Nalan: "Forget it, she's so old." β
"No, this old lady is too arrogant, let's leave the cloth and get out, only one of the twelve boxes we brought will be sold, and the remaining eleven boxes will all belong to her? is also a chaste martyr, and she doesn't recognize or know that her son is a county magistrate, so she embezzles other people's things with open fire, and I admit that chastity is not enough, right? What is chastity? Is it that when a man dies and never marries again, he is chaste? Stealing is also chastity? β
Tian Liang wanted to give Nalan a hundred likes so much. Well said! If you do one thing well in your life, and the rest is a mess, you are not a good person.
Tian Liang whispered to Nalan: "Forget it, she apologizes in public at such an age, if she can't think of going back and jumping into a well and hanging, wouldn't it make people feel guilty." Why is she like this? It's what people are used to, and this time it's also a lesson. β
"What you said makes sense, if you can't think of something, it's not good, won't it be forced to death by me?"
Tian Liang said to Kochi County: "Forget it, Lord Zhixian will send your mother back." β
"Then you won't pursue it? Really not pursued? The next official will accompany you for your mother, right? β
"Okay, okay, we accepted it. Kochi Prefecture rest assured, we will not retaliate against you. β
"Thank you, thank you! Mother, let's go back. β
"That's it?"
"Mother, can you let your son save some face in front of these people? Those two guards are from the palace, and they can't afford to offend! β
"Huh? People of the palace, go home quickly! The old lady almost stumbled, and no matter how ignorant she was, she knew what the palace was.
Next, the degree of selling cloth heads is much faster. Tian Liang took the cloth from the box and told him how big the cloth was and how much it was. There was a propaganda from the neighbors and relatives who went back after buying the cloth, and it was not a bunch of people who bought the cloth, but people who came in groups, riding carriages and donkeys, and came from all directions. Automatically line up in a long line, and each person is limited to two pieces of cloth. The cloth head in the box "swished" to decrease. When the sky gang was dark, it was sold out. I beat my chest and regretted that I was late, and asked if Nalan would come tomorrow. They all thought that Nalan was the leader of these people, and they embarrassed Nalan very much. How does he know what will happen tomorrow? looked at Tian Liang. Tian Liang didn't dare to be sure, so he said, "Try your best?" We'll have to see if there's enough to do it."
Look at the dark, I have to live here, there are not many people living here, so I will pack a Chase shop in an inn, everyone have a good night's rest, this Jia Tian Liang still dares to be. It seems that tomorrow will not come, rush back, you have to pick the cloth head, you have to spray water to cut the square, the master still has to set the price, and then you have to walk for most of the day.
Early the next morning, Kochi County led everyone in the county government to see off Nalan and his party. apologized when they met, for fear that Nalan would go back and sue in front of the prince. Although he is the magistrate of the county, he is the magistrate of the suburban county of Beijing who guards the Beijing division, and he knows a lot of things in the capital. Prince Rui is the emperor's favorite prince, and almost everyone knows that Prince Rui is making money for the emperor.
