Fuyou returned to his dormitory and lay down silently. Mrs. Tong hurriedly came over and touched his forehead, thinking that he was not feeling well.

"It's okay, I'm so easy to get sick?"

"The concubine saw that your face was not very good, and thought that you were uncomfortable."

"What's so uncomfortable? Xiu'er, the second brother has an errand. ”

"Really? Haven't you always wished you had an errand? Why are you still unhappy? Tong handed a cup of fragrant tea to Fuyou's hand.

Fuyou sat up: "It's not that I'm unhappy, it's an errand that I can't even touch my head and don't understand at all, how can I start?" ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, can you tell Sù Xiu's father Khan what errand he gave you?"

"He is responsible for purchasing military supplies, such as grain, winter clothes, and medicinal materials."

"Father Khan really makes you buy it, or the kind that spends money on it. Don't worry. Xiu'er's ancestors were in business, and Xiu'er knew a little bit about buying and selling. ”

"But I'm going to buy things for the front-line soldiers, you think, last time my father Khan led an army of 100,000, that is, I wanted to prepare food and clothing for 100,000 people. If one person eats one pound of grain a day, 100,000 people have to eat 100,000 pounds, and ten days is one million pounds. That's millions of catties, where can I find so much food? ”

"Then you can rest assured, there are a lot of food specially prepared by Father Khan in Shengjing, which is used for war, but it is not very sufficient, so you will raise enough of it. You really have to be prepared to spend a lot of money, the ancestors of Xiu'er are rich in Liaodong, and they are all big deals. ”

"Oh? So tell me what your ancestors did? ”

"There are many, wood, medicinal herbs, silk, mountain goods, as well as restaurants, money villages, wine pots, inns and so on."

"I heard Brother Haoge say that your ancestors are very discerning, and when the Taizu people were weak, they were able to devote all their family resources to support Taizu's uprising!"

"Our family used to live in Haixi, which is very rich in products, including flat land and high mountains. The flat land is a black soil that cannot be seen by a horse and a flat river, and there are large forests in the high mountains, all of which are fine red pine trees, as well as mountain treasures such as hazelnuts, fungus, monkey heads, and flying dragon birds. ”

"I want to go and see what you said, why did you get to Liaodong later?"

"Haixi is too remote, the population is very thin, Liaodong is close to Shanhaiguan, and the population is also very dense, don't you have to find a place with a lot of people to do business? Who buys your stuff when there are fewer people? ”

"Yes, it's a pity that in that place, my mother's maiden home is in Haixi."

"Kanwai is your Manchurian hometown"

"Am I full?"

"Shhhh Don't you dare to say this, do you not recognize your ancestors? Your Ama is a Manchurian, Eniang is a Manchurian, and you yourself are very pure Manchurian blood. ”

Under Tong's comfort, Fuyou's depressed mood improved a little. I just don't dare to think about my own errand, even if I let myself be a martial arts teacher, I am familiar with it, and I have an inexplicable errand! However, Xiu'er said that her ancestors were in business, and she knew a little bit about this, and her heart was still a little transparent.

Huang Taiji revealed his decision to the courtiers when he was in the court, not to ask for their opinions, but to see how they reacted.

The first to stand up against it was Dorgon. At this time, Dolgon was only sixteen years old, just a little adult-like, not very tall but very well-proportioned, with handsome facial features, especially eyes, which shot out a light like an eagle. There was a hint of sarcasm in the smile: "Great Khan, the slave seems to have heard it wrong, right?" You gave Fuyou the errand to buy military supplies? He is a monk who has not been in the temple for a long time, and a stick monk of Shaolin Temple! I'm afraid there's only one string in my head. Thousands of dollars of silver were handed over to him, and what he bought back might not be military supplies. ”

"And what do you think he can buy back?" Dorgon's words disgusted Huang Taiji: he openly despised Fuyou, and his attitude was very arrogant. To look down on Fuyou is to look down on him Huang Taiji!

Dolgon's attitude made Huang Taiji's anger rush to the top of his head. Looking at Dolgon's invincible appearance, Huang Taiji was ruthless in his heart more than once: "Count you crazy!" There will come a time when I will completely trample you under my feet! ”

Dolgon smiled "heck": "Maybe he will buy some monk shoes and robes and send them back to Longyun Temple to do good deeds, hehehe......"

"It's better to do good deeds than to be calculated, right?" Huang Taiji means something.

Dolgon didn't answer, but still spoke according to his own thoughts: "It's not that the slave looks down on Fuyou, it's that he is still a monk." I heard that he meditated and chanted scriptures every day, not only practiced martial arts by himself, but also taught him the blessing of Jin, and our palace became a temple. ”

"I've made up my mind, I don't have to discuss it anymore, disperse the dynasty!" Huang Taiji walked straight down from the throne and left the main hall angrily.

Of course, this qiē blessing is impossible to know.

For the errand given by his father Khan, Fuyou passively accepted. It's not enough to just accept it, you have to put it into practice, so in desperation, he took his personal guard Zhao Yong in civilian clothes, went out of the palace, and wandered around the most lively street market. This is the idea given to him by Mrs. Jinxiu, who is familiar with the market, and asks about everything, which is considered a homework before getting started.

At this time, Fuyou's mind was not on the price market at all, but on the fact that he missed his former life as a monk.

Simple and happy.

"Master, where are you going?" Zhao Yong, who followed Fuyou's side for half a step, looked at his master's dazed appearance, and was very worried about him. The master has not been very happy since he was a layman. I'm afraid that others will be crazy when they marry such a fairy-like beautiful lady, he is good, what is it like before? Is it that good to be a monk? Don't understand.

Zhao Yong's question made Fuyou wake up from a dream, and said, "Don't go anywhere, just walk around." ”

"Or go to this teahouse to rest? Quench your thirst with a cup of tea, right? The subordinates ate salty food in the morning. ”

"Okay, just this teahouse?"

"Guest upstairs, please!" The shopkeeper was full of spring breeze and courteous face, and led the blessed master and servant to a seat by the window upstairs, and then put on two Biluochun. How dare Zhao Yong drink tea on an equal footing with Fuyou?

"Sit down, don't make rules, this son is not in the palace, why don't you hurry up and be comfortable?" Fuyou whispered, pulling Zhao Yong to sit beside him: When no one is around, we are friends, remember? ”

"Huh!"

"What's the shh? I don't want to hear that word the most. ”

Zhao Yong smiled hesitantly: "You are such a strange person, you are obviously a master, but you ......"

"The Buddha said that all living beings are equal. In fact, we are exactly the same people, and there is no difference at all. ”

"Master be careful! Your subordinates know that you are not used to your current status, but you have already walked out of the mountain gate of the temple and married your wife, and you are a person in the world. You can maintain the purity of a monk's heart, but you can't always treat yourself as a monk, because it will be very bad for you for a long time. Your subordinates know that you don't like your errands, but you know what? It's the big ...... It was your Amma who chose a safe and easy errand for you, didn't you just ask about the price? The subordinate asks for you. You see, the subordinate brought a notebook and a charcoal pen, and he wrote it down after asking, or he forgot to ask it. ”

Fuyou smiled and bent over: "I obeyed you, this is also called a pen?" ”

"Subordinates can't always hold an inkstone and a pen in their hands, right? These sections of black charcoal are still burned by subordinates last night, this is a very thin branch broken into small sections, slowly roasted in a brazier, subordinates have tried, but the pen is thicker, and it can still be used. ”

"Show me." Fuyou's attention attracted Zhao Yong's latest invention.

A quarter of an hour later, the two of them came out of the teahouse and began to ask the price according to their families, regardless of whether it was useful or not, what did they see? The name, use, and unit price were written down in Zhao Yong's strange pen to a strange notebook - this book was bound together with very thick window paper, much like the workbooks of later elementary school students. Zhou Zhou Zheng remembered the price of the goods he had asked, and Fuyou was very grateful to Zhao Yong, he also practiced martial arts, but his mind was very delicate.

The two of them walked around the market for almost a whole day, from clothes and fabrics to oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, from needles and threads to books and papers, and then in a noodle restaurant by Fuyou, the two of them each ate a bowl of fried noodles - Fuyou's bowl is vegetarian, the sauce is eggplant, Zhao Yong's bowl is chicken, chicken noodles,

Back in the dormitory, Mrs. Jinxiu hurriedly served tea in person, and then asked with concern: "How is the market inquiry?" ”

"I asked a few questions, and they were all trivial. Most of them were asked by the Zhao guards, and he wrote them down. ”

"This Zhao guard really has a heart, and he actually came up with such a good idea. Doesn't the second brother think it's a business opportunity? ”

"You mean to make it and sell it like that?"

"This one is a little rougher.,The book is also seven long and eight short and untidy.。 Did you know? How many children from poor families can't afford to study, because paper is expensive, and books are even more expensive. If you have such a simple book and pen, and then everyone buys a book together, not to mention participating in the scientific examination in the future, knowing the words in front of you, and then you can settle accounts, it is much better than a black eye, right? ”

"Xiu'er, your heart is so kind, you can think of the children of poor families."

"It's not that there is a saying called 'don't do small things with kindness', there are a lot of small good deeds that can be done on weekdays, but I don't want to accumulate merits, and I have fun doing it. For example, if you ask for a cake or a bowl of porridge, a copper plate, and an old piece of clothing, and when you go out on the street, a blind person crosses the street and pulls him, and the old man falls down and gets up. Isn't it better than those who see the poor and raise their eyebrows? ”

"You're so right! I don't understand that some rich people don't take advantage of their money to do more good deeds, but instead fly and are unkind to the rich. You have money in your pocket and don't give it to the poor, what do you do to swagger in front of the poor? There are also rich people who can't even give up a copper plate when they see a beggar on the street, but their family has kidnapped tickets for bandits, and they can give as much as they want. ”

When it comes to this topic, Fuyou has endless feelings.

Mrs. Tong, who was delicate, found regular paper, cut it neatly, and copied the prices recorded by Zhao Yong one by one. She believed that her husband would use these things.

On the third day of asking for a price on the street, Fuyou's interest was also hooked. Fuyou, who has lived in the temple for a long time, has almost no impression of the outside world, but occasionally walks through the market when he goes down the mountain. Now he walks from shop to shop, asking about one product after another, which makes him interested in many things that he has never seen before.
