It has been nearly two months, and Jiang Tian has a relaxed feeling that he can take a breath for the first time, no matter what, Xiyun's "lease period" has been extended to one year, and he still has a huge amount of nearly one hundred taels in his hand. It gives a feeling of lightness and pleasure. He walked away with the correct answer, and also patted his chest and promised that he would definitely dredge up the relationship and solve the problem of "turning agriculture into non-farming" as much as possible. So Jiang Tian was rare to be able to straighten his waist and look up at the sky at the end of the Ming Dynasty......

"How sunny...... Although it looks foggy under the steaming heat, PM2.5 will definitely not exceed the standard in this fog! There is no carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide" No one knows what he said to himself, anyway, this person is already a well-known weirdo, how can he be worthy of the title of weirdo if he doesn't say something weird?

As soon as he stretched his waist, he turned his head and found Xi Yun hiding on the side and secretly aiming at himself, seeing that he must have misunderstood, and thought that he had lost his mind. Jiang Tian smiled at her, strode over and patted the top of her head like a child: "I'm not crazy, I just feel that I am one step closer to fulfilling my promise, you can rest assured, I will not let others bully you in the future." ”

Xi Yun lowered her head and still didn't say a word. A little girl who was only eleven years old could become so silent, Jiang Tian couldn't help but feel a little distressed. Such a thin figure, the top of his head is not enough to his chest, from any point of view, he is a child who needs the care of others, but because he is not handsome enough, he has not been trained according to the standards of the Qing people, which is the teaching workshop that has never lacked high-quality resources in the capital, if it is a small brothel in a certain county, I am afraid that it has been forced to start ushering in the work that is being sent. Thinking of this, Jiang Tian couldn't help but take her into his chest and give her a hug lovingly, which is an absolutely healthy and gentle action in the later life, but it shocked the little girl's body, she tried hard to restrain her trembling hands, and stiffly stuck to this man's chest, but for a moment she found that her brain was a little blank.

Generally speaking, the people who visit the teahouse in the morning are some elderly regular customers, so in the excitement, Jiang Tian asked Boss Zhao for a leave, and he didn't care about other people's eyes, so he dragged the little girl out of the store. He wants to seriously appreciate the typical ancient city, and he also wants to vent the depression that has been suppressed in his heart for a long time, and at the same time, he wants Xiyun to understand that he must be a good brother.

"You can buy whatever you want today, I can spend whatever you want!"

Walking on the street, the little girl naturally can't walk hand in hand with a man like this, even if these two people are husband and wife, they can't kiss me and me in broad daylight, but it's still okay to drag the corners of your clothes like a little heel worm, Rao is like this, it still makes Xi Yun feel a fever on her face, even if she has seen men and women love, after this qiē really happened to her, she felt like she was going to jump out of her body. She didn't know how she walked through the gate of the Red Mansion, and the complicated eyes of the turtle slaves and maids she knew made it impossible to tell whether they were jealous or envious. Perhaps they now regret that they didn't lend a helping hand to the dying Xiucai.

In fact, under the scorching sun, how could there be a hawker who stuck to the front line of work, and the two of them walked aimlessly for a long time, except for buying a maltose for Xiyun, they didn't see anything useful. In fact, it should be Jiang Tian when encountering this situation, your small teahouse is full of people, do you say that those small vendors can come out of the stall so early? Xi Yun knew the truth, but she still didn't say anything, even if she was sweating like sun, she still followed Jiang Tian closely behind him, and he went wherever he went.

Standing on the street and looking around, our traveler seemed to be a little sobered by the sun, but by chance he caught a glimpse of a ready-to-wear shop on the corner of the street, Jiang Tian thought to himself that he and Xiyun didn't have a decent dress until now, so forget it, how can there be a girl who doesn't love beauty? Think about how when I saw those red girls and their maids at the beginning, how could my sister be so shabby. So he made up his mind and strode over, looking at the anxious look, I am afraid that it is more likely that he wants to find a place to escape the heat.

"Two guest officers, please rest here and go to the summer ......"

Look at the service of the ancients, I haven't bought anything yet, let you sit down and rest and have tea to drink, Jiang Tian took a sip, although the tea is very bad, but at least it can quench your thirst: "Do you have this girl's suitable ready-to-wear here?" ”

"Look at what you said, although the small shop is ugly, it is still fully stocked, but I don't know what style this girl needs, I like that color, and the small one is good for you."

Jiang Tian had to sigh again, this is the standard Ming Dynasty shop Xiao Er, not arrogant or humble to speak decently so that you can't find a little mistake, looking back and finding that Xi Yun was just standing on the side, and didn't dare to sit on an equal footing with himself, so he had to stand up and pull her to the chair, and then instructed Xiao Er: "Pick all the best in your store, let my sister choose." ”

The other party thought to himself, just look at you who are poor, you must not be able to buy any good things, and walked away with a quiet face, and after a while, he brought a few skirts: "What do you think of these, guest officer?" ”

Jiang Tian didn't wait for him to unfold his clothes to know that the other party looked down on him, and the rough fabric and not bright colors were no better than the one he was wearing. He didn't get angry, watching people serve dishes is the professional quality that a shopkeeper should have, otherwise he would not be a qualified junior second, this truth cannot be overturned even after three hundred years. So he unhurriedly took out a twenty-tael official silver ingot from his sleeve, gently put it on the coffee table next to him, and said in a very flat tone: "Change!" ”

At this time, the other party knew that he had lost his eyes, and hurriedly bowed down and apologized, and then beckoned the other guys in the store to go to the inner courtyard to pick up clothes. And he himself quietly changed a pot of new tea and brought it to Jiang Tian, and respectfully poured a full cup: "The villain is negligent, you wait a little for me to let people get the best ready-to-wear clothes, if there is no one worthy of this girl, the small shop can also tailor the clothes to your satisfaction." ”

Alas...... Jiang Tian smiled bitterly in his heart, money has always been a thing that can make ghosts grind, look at this business level, if it is placed in the twenty-first century, at least he can be a store manager.

Clothes like flowing water, rare is that this is not all expensive clothes, there are also some home clothes, just look at the workmanship and tailoring is significantly higher than just a few ordinary goods, not to mention, a garment store can have so many reserves enough to prove their strength is extraordinary, this is not the future, at this time most of the people are used to their own tailoring, the trade of ready-to-wear is limited to old clothes, if it is not Beijing City, I am afraid there is not so much ready-made inventory. More than a dozen clothes were unfolded, although they were all beautiful, but Jiang Tian always felt that it was not as good as the feeling in the Red Mansion, maybe this was the gap in the realm. But fortunately, it's not to buy clothes for yourself, it's up to the parties to decide whether it's good or not. When he looked at Xiyun again, he found that this girl seemed to be hesitant to look at this and that. Then he leaned up to Jiang Tian and muttered in a low voice: "These are too expensive......

Jiang Tian snorted: "Don't be afraid, your brother and I have money." Or do you not like that? ”

"No, no, no!" Xi Yun peeked at her clothes out of the corner of her eye: "It's that I don't deserve them." ”

He pursed his lips and couldn't laugh, a person's fate is not terrible, what is terrible is that he bows his head in the face of fate and does not dare to resist. Later generations always said that feudal autocracy is the physical exploitation of people and the spiritual destruction, although this is a bit absolute, but it can not be miscalculated, many times those so-called prosperous times, in fact, is based on the acquiescence of ordinary people to the exploitation of the ruling class, when this exploitation touches the bottom line of the survival of most of the people, will enter the so-called troubled era. In the end, Jiang Tian picked a few elegant ones and bought them, and he himself changed into a lake-blue silk Confucian shirt, and at the same time did not forget to buy a silk straight shirt for Zhao's shopkeeper, anyway, no one cares whether it is over-the-top now, which can be regarded as a little gratitude to the old man.

Jiang Tian, who gradually found the shopping doorway, took a girl who felt sorry for him for the silver for another half a day before going back. Not only did he buy a lot of clothes and daily necessities, but he also brought a set of exquisite blue and white tea sets, Jiang Tian thought to himself, how can we say that it is also a dry teahouse, what if Boss Zhao doesn't have a decent set of tea sets? So behind the two of them, they followed the guys from various shops and acted as lifu, and moved into the courtyard from the back door of the teahouse with large bags. In the end, it cost nearly sixty taels of silver! The speed at which money is spent is truly frightening.

What is the concept of sixty taels? Jiang Tian actually knew very well in his heart that although he was still in the period of the Xiaoice River, the north and south of the river were still plagued by natural disasters, but first, after years of conquest, the population declined severely, and second, the imperial court used warships to escort large sea ships to buy grain from Annam, Luzon and other places in large quantities, and stipulated that all maritime merchants who came to trade with us could be exempted from customs duties if they brought grain, and those who transported huge quantities could also enjoy corresponding tax refund services, and they also obtained priority quotas for traditional commodities such as porcelain, silk, and tea. Therefore, for a time, the traditional seaports such as Quanzhou and Guangzhou were crowded with sails, and almost all the surplus grain in Southeast Asia was looted, and it is said that Xiyi actually brought grain from distant Tianzhu to obtain a trade license or pay less taxes. Relying on this kind of large-scale blood transfusion type replenishment stock, this stabilized the situation in the whole country and completely disintegrated the foundation of the rebel armies from all walks of life. The price of grain in the country has also fallen again and again, from the blood-sucking 4, 5 taels of silver and one stone of rice, stable dìng in the Wanli period of one or two silver and one stone, a load is 100 catties, and a stone is 120 catties, the Ming Dynasty's catties are equivalent to 590 grams now, so the conversion to the modern standard one stone is 141.6 catties. Even if Jiang Tian eats two catties of rice a day, one or two pieces of silver can almost make him eat for two and a half months!

Besides, because of the purchase of a large amount of grain, in the absence of more traditional goods to pay, can only be settled in silver, so a boatload of grain in exchange for boxes and boxes of silver, the Donglin Party impeachment is now in the emperor's crimes, and he is not less attacked for his behavior as a loser. The side effect of this trade method is that the price of silver is bullish, so that the deflation situation is magnified little by little, although there is no big problem now, and the people who have just experienced war and famine have praised this decree, Jiang Tian knows that if the policy is not adjusted in the next few years, the senior in the Golden Palace should be short of money to spend. But Jiang Tian was not in a hurry at all, as a traverser, he didn't need to use his brain to think of several ways to maintain the stability of the currency, and he believed that the emperor, who was also a traverser, naturally had a way to deal with it.

Just said that Jiang Tian now, returned to the yard to send those guys, and saw Xi Yun looking at the things in the yard and didn't know what to do, he smiled easily, or patted her head and asked her to clean up by herself, while he fetched a bucket of water from the bitter well in the yard, let himself freshen up, and then changed into a short brown worn by laborers, and walked to the front yard with a white towel on his arm to do his own shopkeeper.

Boss Zhao looked at his watch and kept pondering, you said that a scholar succumbed to himself in order to survive, for such a long time he was observing Jiang Tian all the time, not to mention his talent, and he didn't mention keeping his promises, only saying that he was a person who experienced the ups and downs of life, and he didn't have the anxiety and madness of ordinary young people. Especially when he ran out with other people's girls today, he thought that he finally had a young and frivolous appearance, and maybe he went outside to find a small house and lived behind closed doors from then on. I didn't think he would buy a bunch of things, and there were gifts for himself here. It's just your own decision to pay back your money, and what is even more surprising is that he didn't look like he wanted to say goodbye, but continued to be this free guy for himself, as if the rich man who spent sixty taels of money in half a day was not him. Old man, I am confident that I have read countless people, but I have never seen a strange person like you.

This is the generation gap of the times, for Jiang Tian to be this running hall is not ashamed, besides, he also wants to rent a house to live alone, but after thinking about it, he found that he can't leave the old man at this time anyway, it's not a matter of how much money is spent, but he knows that Boss Zhao's relatives are no longer there, and the old man's age is increasing day by day, don't look at the body is still tough now, maybe he will be bedridden one day, although he doesn't covet his property, but after all, people also have the grace to live. Then taking care of the old man and letting him have a good death can be regarded as repaying the favor. Besides, this skin still has a father alive in his hometown, and he will go home in a few years to admit his mistakes and fulfill his filial piety for this stupid boy, so that he can continue to integrate into this society with peace of mind. In that case, what's the use of buying a house now? Is it just to keep the appreciation for future generations of children and grandchildren? At least Jiang Tian doesn't have this plan now.

After dinner, the number of guests gradually increased, and many people saw that he was still dressed in a short dress and did not change his clothes at all and told the book, and couldn't help muttering, didn't this kid say that strange comment? Just waiting for the seats to gradually fill, everyone saw Mr. Liu, who had lost a lot of weight, slowly sitting on the bookcase before they suddenly realized that it was the genuine storyteller who came back.
