Chapter 186: Cao's Salt Shop (4000 Second Shift)

What is a profession?

It's called professionalism!

Since calling Yu Ji back to touch the bones for Zhu Lu, Wu Liang has already discovered Yu Ji's professional attributes.

As long as Wu Liang gives a general direction, this old boy can immediately say a lot of in-depth and extremely compelling words, which is called a head is the Tao, and even Wu Liang was stunned when he heard it.

In history, Cao Zhi had seven steps into poetry.

Wu Liang had no doubt that this old boy could write a book in three steps!

Therefore, it is not without reason that Yu Ji was able to become a god in the hearts of many generals of Wu in Wuhui in history, just with this mouth of a lotus flower, he is already an eternal god.

"Cremation?"

Listening to Yu Ji's words, Wang Qing's face suddenly wrinkled again.

He naturally knew what cremation was all about, and according to the archaeological records found in later generations, the custom of cremation was not uncommon as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, and even in a few places it was still a mainstream form of funeral.

But in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, this form of funeral was not so easy to accept.

It is also for this reason that when he heard the word "cremation", Wang Qing reacted like this.

He resisted this funeral method from the bottom of his heart.

If someone usually makes such a suggestion to him, he may have to turn his face and send off the guests...... Oh yes, this is not the palace, but the Wu mansion, so you can only say goodbye angrily.

But now, seeing that Wu Liang, who can "cut the evil Jiao with a sword", said that it is not appropriate to be buried again.

Yu Ji even said this matter so mysteriously, and even associated it with "Providence", although Wang Qing still had some resistance in his heart, he was still willing to listen to it.

After all, these two people did not have any conflict of interest with him, and there was no reason to trick him into harming him.

"Exactly!"

Yu Ji nodded, and then said, "According to common sense, everyone should be buried in the earth after death, Gongzi has already done half of his filial piety before he was buried in a thick funeral, and he still needs to keep filial piety for three years to complete the other half of his filial piety, but now that this matter is out, this matter can no longer be done according to common sense." ”

"If the prince wants to fulfill the other half of his filial piety, he should obey the mandate of heaven and help Ling Zun to pass away, so that the spirit of Ling Zun in heaven can also bless future generations with great blessings and endless blessings."

"In addition, the prince can still collect the remains left after Ling Zun's nirvana, store them in the shrine, place them on the ancestral hall, and often lead the descendants to worship and worship, so that the filial piety of the prince can be completed, not only can Ling Zun still enjoy the joy of family after his death, but the affairs of future generations can also be conveyed to Ling Zun through worship, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone."

Speaking of this, Yu Ji brushed up his beard again, and stood on the armrests to show a transcendent and high-level posture.

"This ...... Is that all there is to it? ”

Although Wang Qing looked a little shaken, he still had no way to make up his mind, showing an embarrassed expression.

"Humph!"

Seeing that he had this reaction, Yu Ji lost his temper instead, and immediately snorted coldly, and said with displeasure on his face, "Since the son can't trust the old man, why should he call the old man to waste his lips and tongue, it's just a chicken and a duck!" The head of the family forgives the sins, the old man has finished what he should say, this son has nothing to do with the old man whether he listens or not, but there will be such a thing in the future, please don't call the old man again, the old man is lazy to waste his tongue with these ignorant people, and retire! ”

After scolding Wu Liang like this, Yu Ji really showed an angry face, flicked his sleeves and strode towards the outside of the guest hall.

"The old gentleman is angry! This prince doesn't know the old man's ability, and this matter is not trivial, so it is reasonable to think about it. ”

Wu Liang hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and persuaded with a smiling face.

"Humph! As the saying goes, the Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, the head of the family does not need to say much, in the future, the old man will only speak for the head of the family, and other people's affairs do not need to come to the old man! ”

Yu Ji still insisted on walking out with a black face, and Wu Liang couldn't hold him back.

"Old gentleman, stay! Wang Gongzi's family has just suffered such a catastrophe, I still have some friendship with Wang Gongzi, and I should help him tide over the difficulties at this time. ”

Wu Liang hurriedly persuaded again.

"The poor man must have something to hate, since this person is stubborn, this is the creation of him and his family, why should the head of the family interfere, in the end, he may end up with a person who is not a person inside and out!"

Yu Ji became more and more energetic, shook his sleeves hard, and even shook Wu Liang a few times.

It's over!

You're over, old boy!

Didn't you tell you to keep it?!

Why the hell are you improvising again, just acting for a show, is it necessary to be so excited?

Wu Liang also served, this old boy is not good at this, every time he asked him to collect it before acting, but this product used too much force every time, and he almost flickered into the cave room with Zhu Lu last time, and this time he was quickly dragged out of the guest hall.

It's also at this time.

"Please forgive the old gentleman, I know that the talented and virtuous brother and the old gentleman are sincerely helping me, how dare I question the old gentleman's words."

Wang Qing finally ran over and bowed respectfully to Ji, bowed with low eyebrows and said, "That's it, the matter has come to this, and there is nothing to think about in the future, I just ask the old gentleman for another guide or two to help me complete my father's cremation matters, and I will report it afterwards." ”

Wang Qing finally figured it out, but he was not fooled by Wu Liang and Yu Ji.

Not to mention whether what Yu Ji said is true, he is not a fool, in fact, he can also foresee that even if he gives his father a thick burial again, I am afraid that he will not be able to prevent the end of being dug by thieves again...... What's more, this is completely within the scope of the Wang family.

It's just that living in this era, his thinking has already produced a stereotype, and he really can't think of or dare to think of other ways.

And Yu Ji's words.

undoubtedly gave him a huge step, giving him one more reliance and excuse when making decisions, at least psychologically calm.

This is providential.

This can help the father pass away, and also bless the children and grandchildren with peace and security.

It is a reasonable explanation to him, to the Wang family, and to outsiders.

That's enough......

Therefore, this decision is actually not difficult to make, as long as you cross the hurdle in your heart.

"Look, old gentleman, I'll just say that Wang Gongzi is not a stubborn person, and the old gentleman will help him this time for the sake of my face, right?"

Wu Liang finally grabbed Yu Ji and winked at him and smiled.

As a result, I didn't expect Yu Ji to be wrong, and turned around and said reluctantly: "Since you have already expressed your attitude, and the head of the family has to ask the old man to help you, the old man will reluctantly make an exception for him, but this matter is not trivial, if you want to help Ling Zun Nirvana die, you still need to do a ritual to worship heaven and earth, but the cost of this ritual is not affordable for ordinary people......"

“???”

Wu Liang was stunned for a moment.

Heaven and earth conscience, he really didn't think about cheating money from Wang Qing this time, purely because the villagers took care of him a little, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, maybe he will be able to help when in the future.

It's just a gesture anyway.

As long as you remind Wang Qing not to continue to give his father a thick burial, not to mention that the family is ruined, it will make the old man uneasy.

It's a pity that Yu Ji has long been a habitual offender, and he is familiar with the road.

Fortunately, Wu Liang's reaction was fast enough, and he hugged Wang Qing's shoulders without waiting for Yu Ji to finish speaking, and said with a smile: "Brother Yu Nian doesn't have to care, I haven't come to visit the mourning after Ling Zun's death, and I will bear the cost of this ritual, which can be regarded as a dedication to Ling Zun." ”

"How does this work? No way! ”

Wang Qing is not a person who likes to take advantage, he shook his head again and again and said to Ji Gong, "Old man, how much does it cost, although my Wang family is not rich at the moment, but there is still some family background." ”

"A hundred catties of gold should be enough."

Yu Ji still didn't understand Wu Liang's thoughts, so he immediately opened his mouth according to Zhu Lu's standards.

“……”

Wang Qing suddenly lost his voice.

Wu Liang looked at Wang Qing helplessly: Brother Yu Nian, Brother Yu Nian, you said that I gave you the steps like this, what do you have to do with me?

You can't get off the stage this time, do you?

"Brother Yu Nian, the deceased is the greatest, it is important to do Ling Zun's affairs first, and it is not too late to talk about issues such as costs in the future."

Wu Liang still found another step for Wang Qing in the end, and turned around and said to Ji, "Old man, this matter is up to you, you need to prepare something to come to me directly, Wang Gongzi's family has just been robbed, and there are many affairs to be solved at this moment, I am afraid that I will not be able to get away for the time being." ”

"In that case, the old man should obey his fate."

Yu Ji was a little surprised in his heart, he didn't know what Wu Liang meant, but he didn't say anything.

"That'...... Thank you for the talented and virtuous brothers, I will remember today's grace! ”

Wang Qinggang's face was pale at the moment, but he was also short of breath, so he had to smile helplessly, and bowed to Wu Liang and thanked him.

……

Wang Qing's father's cremation ceremony took only two days.

Whether it was the theft of the tomb or the cremation ceremony, Wang Qing did not make any noise about it, and it was done quietly when there were only family members.

After all, any of these two things are not good to publicize, and it is easy to provoke criticism.

And spending Wu Liang's money to do this, Yu Ji is naturally very measured, and everything is as simple as possible, and all the expenses are not more than the Chinese New Year's Eve meal of Wu Liang's family.

As a result, the day after the cremation ceremony, Wang Qing came to Wu Mansion again.

This time, he was not in a hurry, and learned that Wu Liang was "teaching" the maid thyme at home in the room, and he did not ask someone to report it, but went to the guest hall to wait patiently.

So this time, Dian Wei didn't tie him up, and asked someone to pour him tea.

It was close to noon again, and Wu Liang came out of the room.

In the past two days, he has taught thyme the law of free fall and Newton's three laws, thyme is an extremely diligent and talented girl, even if these theories are very advanced, she has gradually entered the door, and can always be based on these theorems, suddenly popping up a few sentences of inference that surprised Wu Liang.

Wu Liang was very pleased to see the growth and progress of thyme......

Then someone came to report, saying that Wang Qing was waiting in the guest hall, and Wu Liang stretched his waist and went to the guest hall.

"Talented and virtuous brother."

Seeing Wu Liang, Wang Qing immediately got up and saluted.

"Brother Yu Nian, why did you come to me today?"

Wu Liang asked with a smile.

"Talented and virtuous brother, please accept these two things."

Wang Qing didn't say any more polite words, and directly took out two bronze metal plates from his arms, and handed them to Wu Liang with a solemn expression.

"Brother Yu Nian, you are ......"

Wu Liang looked at the two metal signs in his hand that were similar to tokens, and asked in some surprise.

In fact, through the two big characters and a few rows of small characters engraved on the metal plate, he had already roughly guessed what it was - a market ticket!

That is, the certificate of doing business issued by the imperial court, which is similar to the business license of later generations.

In fact, most businesses in this era do not need market bonds, as long as they can withstand the oppression and exploitation of local tycoons and government officials, but some businesses that have received the attention of the imperial court are different, such as: salt, iron and other hard currency.

So, this should be a market ticket for two salt stores!

The business license in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, this thing obviously has archaeological value, and there are very few archaeological discoveries in later generations......

"The Wang family has no precedent of not paying off debts, this time thanks to the help of the virtuous brother to get through the difficulties, but unfortunately the gold advanced by the virtuous brother, the Wang family will definitely not be able to take it out for a while, and I can't think of any other way, so I have to pledge the remaining two salt stores to the virtuous brother to pay off the debt, please smile at the virtuous brother."

Wang Qing said with a wry smile, "As for the favor owed to the virtuous brother, if there is a place for the Wang family in the future, even if the virtuous brother brings it up, the Wang family will definitely do its best to satisfy it." ”

"How does this work? Brother Yu Nian doesn't know, I don't know anything about this way of business, and I'm afraid that this salt store won't be able to operate for a few days if it's handed over to me. ”

Wu Liang shook his head again and again, although he said so, he did not immediately return the two market coupons.

Because at the same time as seeing them, Wu Liang suddenly thought of another way to transform "tomb robbery" into "archaeology", so that with the "Tuntian system", the grasp will definitely be doubled.

Moreover, he now also looks at Wang Qing differently and thinks that this is a person who can be friends.

Of course, with only a small Wang family, he will definitely not be able to eat this big cake, and he still needs to borrow some other strength.

"Talented brother said that you laughed, you have mastered the unique method of making snowflake salt, with this wonderful method, why do you need any way to operate, even if the snowflake salt can not be made in batches, you can also make a lot of money, if you can make it in batches, the virtuous brother is rich and rival the country!"

Wang Qing did not hide the envy on his face, shook his head and smiled.

"How can it be that simple?"

Wu Liang smiled, but suddenly got closer, looked at Wang Qing's eyes and asked, "Brother Yu Nian, if I am willing to hand over this unique method of snowflake salt to you, how do you plan to do it?" ”

"Give it to me?"

Wang Qing was stunned for a moment.

Previously, Wu Liang had dreamed of Wu Liang's unique method of snowflake salt, but when Wu Liang suddenly revealed this meaning, he was a little overwhelmed.

This thing is not trivial, if it is used properly, the fate of the entire Wang family will be changed because of this!

Wu Liang is really willing to hand over the unique method of snowflake salt to himself?

Wang Qing couldn't believe it was true.

"Not bad! But you have to change the name of this salt shop, why don't you call it 'Cao's Salt Shop' in the future, right? ”

Wu Liang said with a smile.
