Tian Liang designed a kind of exotic tire carriage for mobile vending, which was specially used to sell cloth bought from exotic lands in various counties on the outskirts of Beijing. *With *dream* small* said that wwwlā is very high, it is not easy for people who buy cloth to get on the car, and it is not easy to rob. Tian Liang doesn't remember the specific number of the cloth head, but he knows a lot. There are those that are bought with money, and there are also those that are given away by manufacturers, and the amount is considerable. Among them, there are many very good quality cotton and satin, some are genuine gifts given according to the proportion of one-tenth of the original cloth, there are also cloth heads bought at low prices, and a small number of products from last year and the year before last. There are also ultra-low-priced products that manufacturers sell hard, and there are not many very small ones; There are a lot of bad colors, and they are all intended to be used as refugee clothes and beggar clothes. In addition to refugees and beggars, there are also quite a lot of other types of cloth. Tian Liang still remembers that there were a lot of very good quality cloth heads given by the manufacturer in the cloth of the three trains. Such can be sold in pieces, because they are all very new new cloth, and the two or three feet are sold as cloth heads, which is slightly lower than the price of new cloth.

The prince agreed with Tian Liang's suggestion, and asked him to pick up some cloth heads with Yun'er, Nalan, and Yu'er Shui'er and try them in Changping. This time, we will not sell chemical fiber silk, but will sell pure cotton cloth heads, which is more suitable for rural farmers. This time, the prince also had to follow to see the situation, and I heard Tian Liang say that the mother of Kochi County, Changping, still wants to keep the cloth for herself, and if it is an ordinary thief or bandit, it is understandable, and there are not many officials and family members who are so blatantly and skillfully robbed.

Choose some cloth heads in the hall that look relatively new, and measure the size, and nail the size and price to the corners of the cloth with tacks, so as to save the time of measuring the cloth. The income of the peasants cannot be compared with that of the people in the city, so they choose some sturdy and durable ones that men wear for work, as well as small flower cloth heads, denim cloth heads, and polyester cloth cloth heads that are liked by big girls and little daughters-in-law, and the size is enough to make clothes materials. For example, two feet of fabric to the waist and hips is enough for women, two and a half feet is enough for men, three feet is enough for women in a gown to the knees, four feet is enough for a cheongsam to the ankles, and four and a half feet is enough for a man's robe. There are still six or seven meters long in the cloth, but they are generally between three and five feet. Just right for making clothes.

When choosing the cloth, the prince was also present, and he remembered how many genuine cloths and how many cloth heads. In the later period, the fabric of the train made by multiple manufacturers pulled the number of forty-six carriages.

The prince said: "The countryside is closed, and most of the people in the village are poor, so it is also good to buy some cheap rulers to make clothes." How to be optimistic about the market, you can rent one or buy a shop, and sell cloth and cloth art products in the county. ”

After the prince's instructions were issued, Tian Liang began to design a carriage suitable for selling cloth heads. The method is very simple, just use the kind of threaded steel bar of the rabbit cage to make a two-meter-high frame, fix the frame on the flat carriage with screws, the ceiling, front, back, and right side of the frame are closed with plywood, and the left side is set aside as a counter, that is, the side facing the customer puts the fabric on the steel bar shelf in the appropriate position behind the salesman, stacks it into a half-foot wide strip, presses one piece at a time, and staggers it to facilitate the customer's selection. There are labels on the cloth with a clear real price, and you can take whichever piece you want. The guy who buys the cloth doesn't have to settle the accounts, don't measure the cloth, and sell it in pieces, which saves a lot of trouble and time. Tian Liang learned how to screw steel bars for construction workers in a foreign land, and soon the mobile cloth vending truck was installed.

The prince intended to train Tian Liang to be independent, and asked him to take Nalan and a few guards to break alone. In addition to doing business, it is also necessary to inspect the cultivation of fruit trees in the counties around Gyeonggi, and whether it is possible to purchase agricultural products and process them back into food and daily necessities for direct consumption and daily necessities, so that the money can be sent to the national treasury, and the farmers in the suburbs of Beijing will also increase their income. It's the middle of June, and seeing that the fruits and agricultural products are about to ripen, it is necessary to go to the countryside.

In order to ensure the safety of the cloth sellers, four more soldiers were added. All those who went out to sell cloth changed into civilian clothes. Grab enough food and water for three to five days, and set off.

Changping County is in the northwest of the capital, more than 60 miles away, Tian Liang and Nalan bring two four-horse carriages. One is for the purchase of trucks, and the other is for the purchase of agricultural products. We set off at the beginning of the morning and arrived at the City God's Temple Square in the center of Changping County three and a half hours later. The peasants are able to get up early in the morning, and there are many people in the sub-market, and there is an endless stream of people who come and go to sell and buy goods, and the shouts and shouts come and go. Don't look at the large number of people, the order is still very good: it is roughly divided into several areas: cloth, handicrafts, food and animals. The carriage of the house is parked in the center of this square, which used to be a stage, and now it is not the New Year's Festival, and no one sings, but no one dares to occupy this best position. Tian Liang still wondered, why didn't anyone come to such a good location? How did he know that this was the forbidden land of his parents and the old lady of the county, although she didn't buy the land, and she was also ashamed to feel that no one could occupy her territory. "The people don't fight with the officials" is the creed of the poor people to protect themselves, so what's the harm in retreating?

This time, Tian Liang stood on the cart, first struck the gong, and then shouted loudly with a microphone bought from an exotic land: "Fathers and brothers and sisters of Changping, we are from the capital to sell rulers, and our fabrics are selected by the owner from far away, sturdy and durable, of good quality and low price, with a width of four feet five inches and four feet eight inches. If you want to buy it, you can stand in a row on the right side of the carriage, take a look, take a look. A gong sounded. The sound of the gong spread far away, and the people who were far away from here came to see the excitement.

The last time he sold cloth heads, Nalan and several pro-soldiers shouted hoarsely, and Tian Liang remembered that when the master bought musical instruments, the store gave several microphones as gifts. This microphone is equipped with a battery, so it is very convenient to carry without a generator. With this amplification device, the volume is much louder. It's a bit of a struggle to shout without shouting. Now I can amplify my voice with just the voice I usually speak. The pro-soldiers who came with them also practiced in advance, and took turns to "shout" in order, which was similar to playing a show, and occupied a territory first. More and more people gathered, and they all came to see how the rulers from the city were sold. Everyone knows that rulers are cheaper than genuine cloth. Farmers buy cloth not to look good or not, but to know whether it is strong or not. The prince was sitting in another car and didn't show up at all.

Who knew that less than half an hour after I arrived, my mother from Kochi Prefecture appeared. This time it was not so arrogant, but it was still a high posture, with two maids supporting her beside her, and four young people who looked like family members behind her.

"You're still the same guy you were here last time, aren't you? I don't know that you are the family members of the Rui Wangfu, I am offended. However, you are here to sell goods, and you must abide by the rules here, and you must pay the land tax and the poll tax. ”

An exotic word immediately popped up in Tian Liang's mind: small-footed chengguan. It's the same old lady from last time. didn't have a hard top with her, and said with a smile: "Are you from the tax bureau?" ”

"What is the tax office? Don't mess with me! Don't you know who I am? Speaking out scares your bitter guts! The old lady shouted. Nalan couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud: "Our bitter gall skin is too thin, right?" ”

Today, Kochi County is not in the county office, and I went to the county governor's house in Linxian to drink happy wine. So his mother can have no scruples.

"Why are you offspring so unruly? Don't understand filial piety? At my old age, I didn't ask for peace or courtesy when I met, and I talked about it, and I pulled a few people in the car down and beat me with forty sticks! ”

"Who are you, and we still have to honor you? Filial piety is for parents and other elders, right? Respecting the old and loving the young also depends on the object, right? You're going to be foolish, and you expect us to buy you two pounds of candy to eat? "Nalan really has words if it's funny.

A black-clothed man next to the old lady said, "Bold! Dare to fight against the magistrate's Lingtang! It's light to beat you, so if you are locked up in the prison behind the county government and starved for five days and eight days, you will be fined 20 taels of silver! ”

Tian Liang said: "You are very good at collecting money, we will beat forty sticks without doing anything, half of our lives will be gone, and we will starve for a few more days, and then we will be fined silver, is there still a way to live?" Looks like we didn't break the law, right? ”

"Contempt for the first examination of the magistrate is the greatest sin!" Jia Ding Fox said in a mock manner.

Tian Liang is about to go berserk, and the first test refers to his deceased father, and he has installed this old lady, and this person has a fight with Na Hong. But don't bother to talk nonsense with them, they may be scattered after a while, and it matters to sell cloth. Then he struck the gong: "Ladies and gentlemen, take a look, take a look, our cloth head is four and a half feet long." "It's kind of a rhyme.

Nalan Qiang couldn't help but smile and said to the soldiers around him: "Our master in charge is getting better and better, Liangliang is catchy......"

Tian Liang burst into laughter: "You guy, you want to be on par with Na Hong, it's not called Liangliang catchy, it's Langlang catchy." ”

Nalan laughed, a little embarrassed.

The county "first test" no one cares, so is it okay? whispered to the family next to him: "These few sellers may have kung fu, why don't you be afraid of us?" You hurry back to the county office, find Wang Zhutou and those arresters, and arrest these people and go to the government office for interrogation. ”

"Yes, old lady, wait a minute."

When he was young, the head catcher came with a few catchers, and he shouted loudly from afar: "Where are the bold fanatics? ……”

"Isn't this the king catching the head? What is your business here? ”

"Nalan guards? How is your car like this? Not the last time I came. ”

"This one is for sale."

The two chatted and hung the county magistrate's mother there. Wang Zhutou hates this Lingtang Lord the most, relying on a chastity archway of the former emperor and the son of Dangzhi County, he has to intervene in everything. Either he instructed the officials and catchers in the yamen to give her a liba.

"Master Xiankao" was naturally unhappy when he was left aside, and the flesh on his face came sideways: "Wang catches the head!" Did the old body let you chat? Hurry up and arrest these people! ”

Wang Zhutou clasped his fists and saluted: "Old lady, these two are the personal guards of Lord Rui of the Rui Palace, and they are the court officials of the fifth grade, several levels higher than the tall man, they are just here to sell cloth, and they have not broken the law, how can you let us arrest them?" "This headcatcher still dares to say a few words to this Lingtang lord."

"You still reversed, the old body ordered you to arrest them, do you dare not listen? What a hedgehog, the old man looks at these boys like weasels with sneering eyebrows. ”

Tian Liang and Nalan are both young and handsome young men with a righteous face, even if they are pro-soldiers, they are also very educated, which one is a thief? Is there such an insult? Not only did the two not get angry, but they also burst into laughter. As soon as I figured out that this county magistrate's mother was the kind of ignorant person who was rampant when she got her will.

I don't even have any knowledge, I may think that the county is on the same level as the emperor, she is the county master, and she is a chaste martyr, so she can go sideways. As soon as the two of them looked at each other, they simply ignored her, after all, at such an age, they couldn't bear to be angry. So I continued to beat the gong, and it was important to sell the goods.

I didn't buy a cloth last time, and this time I heard the gong and ran to stand in line. The county magistrate's mother, who had no one to deal with, was so angry that she slapped Wang Zhu's head with her faucet crutches: "Do you still want your errand?" Yes? Let you arrest people, you are gossip! ”

Wang Zhutou was given a cane in front of everyone, feeling very shameless, and it didn't matter who his mother was: "Old lady, are you too much?" Your subordinates aren't just your sons and daughters! If you let your subordinates arrest whoever your subordinates want, your subordinates will arrest whom? Who do you think you are? ”

"Do you still want to rebel? You are not my son but my son's servant, I am the chaste martyr of the emperor! ”

"Your chastity is for your husband, and it is not any power given to you by Emperor Taizong! If your subordinates don't catch it, you just don't catch it! I don't even know how many or two of them are, and they are still acting majestic in front of the people of the palace, and they don't know the depth of the stabbing in the washbasin! Then he turned and left. The other officials followed suit.

Now the old lady has no face, so she simply sits on the ground and sprinkles - what kind of world is this, even my wife can't tolerate it! ”

Being a personal guard next to the prince is at least a third-class guard of the palace, and the grade is a five-grade martial arts, three levels older than Changping Zhixian. The family hurriedly stopped the "first test" adult: "Old lady, these people can't be provoked!" This is the guard of the Rui Palace! ”

"No matter where I got the hedgehog, you have to catch the old man! The one who, hey, you're back! You're the head catcher of the county government, right? Let you do the right thing, where are you going? ”

Wang Zhutou's lungs are about to explode, why can't this old lady speak human words? Can you be a piece smaller than you by calling Wang Zhutou? returned to the old Wang Ba, so he said very unhappily: "Old lady, the official position of these two people is higher than that of your son, the eldest lord of the county, and the subordinates can't help the eldest lord offend people, in case the black gauze hat is lost......"

Who knew that this master of the first examination didn't believe Wang Zhutou's words at all, and he was still insisting on arresting Tian Liang and Nalan. can only be persuaded with good words. Tian Liang and Nalan didn't have the time to deal with this messing around old lady at all, what should they do.

"Boom! Changping's father, elders, brothers and sisters...... Phew! ......" Nalan said half a sentence and struck the big gong, her voice far overshadowed the county mother, no matter how high her voice was, she couldn't cover up the high-pitched gong, but the old lady was angry! She hasn't seen a young man who doesn't eat in front of her, at least she has to have a respectful demeanor, right? Filial piety comes first.

A pro-soldier came over and said to the old lady very politely: "Lord Lingtang, the parent official, there are some places where you are standing that hinder us from doing business, can you let us go?" You see that everyone is standing in line, you want to buy it and go to stand in line, how can you do something at such an age? ”

"Where did you come from? I'm going to sue you! ”

"Then ask the old lady to go back and write the pleadings, and hand him the pleadings which prefect you have jurisdiction over here. As soon as we sell cloth, we won't tell you your name, right? "Tian Liang wants to say that angry people can really make people upside down, and I really hope that this Lord Lingtang will go to sue, and it is best to sue the emperor and sue him directly in front of the emperor."

At this time, the person closest to the cart among the people who bought the cloth whispered to Tian Liang: "This brother should say a few words, this is the old lady of our parents in Changping Zhixian County, and her mother's family has relatives in the capital, it seems that she is still a fourth-grade official, the sister of a ceremonial official." Don't annoy her, she won't dare to say ...... when the time comes.

"It's okay, it's okay, which ruler do you want to buy, big brother?"

"Just the one on the side, it seems that it is enough to make a robe, how much is it?"

"Our cloth is sold in pieces, this is four and a half feet long, you can give one hundred and twenty Wen, or do you want to measure it?"

"No, no, no, you said this cloth is one hundred and twenty?"

"Is it more or less?" Tian Liang asked with a smile.

"Such a wide and long piece of cloth is only one hundred and twenty wen? Bought it, bought it! ”

The man scratched his scalp with joy, and then hurriedly handed the money to Tian Liang: "You have counted it." This brother, can I buy something else? I didn't have enough money to bring and get it. ”

"Then you'll have to stand in line again. By the way, this kind of cloth is afraid of heat, don't burn it in hot water, and don't bake it in front of a charcoal fire, or it won't shrink. ”

"Are you scared?"

"It's okay if it's hot."

"Then don't be afraid. I'll go home and get the money. After saying that, he ran away happily.

At this time, the old lady of the county was so angry that her ribs were bulging, and she came to Changping with her son, and she had been walking sideways, and she had never touched a nail, but the head catcher of the county government was like the kid who struck the gong and called him a brother and a smile. She heard that the big cart that came to sell rulers a few days ago came again, and there were many kinds of rulers of all sizes hung on the iron railings of the car, some plain and some of them were floral cloths, which were particularly beautiful and sturdy, and she wanted to take a few pieces for nothing, who would have thought that this gang would not buy her account at all. Even the magistrates are not afraid, these people have eaten bear bile? But it's a bit of a shame to continue to be domineering. Although I don't really understand what the five-rank official does, I know that the five-grade is more than the sixth-grade. Her son is a parent official in Gyeonggi County, a six-rank official, and he is only a six-grade official in his thirties, and he is not as big as these two angry boys who don't pay for their lives. I really can't offend too hard, my son's black gauze hat matters!

Seeing that the old lady's arrogance was not so arrogant, Tian Liang greeted the guests with the pro-soldiers who sold the goods, and Nalan was stopped by Wang Zhutou to speak.

"I said Nalan guard, aren't you on an errand beside Lord Rui? Why did you go out of the house to sell cloth? What he meant was that Nalan had made some mistake and was punished by the prince as a coolie.
