In the world, people are divided into four classes, which are for farmers and businessmen. Scholars are the people who belong to the top of the pyramid, and these people are all people who read for the world. The second is agriculture, which refers to farmers, which can also be called cloth clothes. In is the work, the work refers to the world's craftsmen.

This includes carpenters, stonemasons, bricklayers, carvers, etc. The last is the merchant, the origin of the merchant Before the Xia Dynasty, a tribe called Qi assisted Yu in controlling the water, and was given the Shang tribe. The Shang tribe also obeyed Yu's will, and did business through business, and finally established the Shang Dynasty by Shang Tang, so the word merchant has been used to this day.

Therefore, the people of the world also look down on merchants, which is nothing more than the Shang Dynasty established by the merchant tribe in the lower ancient period, which seized the world of the Xia Dynasty. Therefore, when it came to the Zhou Dynasty, people in the world looked down on merchants, and the reason was that they belonged to the continuation of the Shang Dynasty. So this contempt has continued until now.

However, although these people looked down on merchants, the status of merchants was higher than that of peasants and workers, and this was nothing more than because merchants were rich. Therefore, the people of the four classes stand together, and basically the people choose the taxi, followed by the merchant.

Therefore, people in the world, whether they are scholars or merchants, look down on the cloth clothes of peasants and workers. Therefore, it is often difficult for these people, such as arrears of wages.

Therefore, when Li Yan takes care of these craftsmen, he will make these officials admire him like this. Because Li Yan didn't look down on these craftsmen at all, but for their sake, he was extremely generous. But what they know is that Li Yan was just a cloth cloth more than two months ago, and it was only after following Tang Shishi that his identity changed drastically.

I didn't know what they were thinking, but when I heard the words of the servant, I nodded and said, "It's okay not to know, I believe that as long as these craftsmen come to work tomorrow, those people will still come back, so I don't believe that these people have run away." ”

"After you go back, tell Brother Chen, let him come to Tang Mansion early tomorrow morning, come to me tomorrow, and bring two or three more people." Li Yan said this, and his expression suddenly became hideous: "You dare to make trouble here with me, these people are really tired and crooked, it seems that they need me to teach them how to behave." ”

When Li Yan said this, the whole person became hideous, like a demon crawling out of the depths of hell. This made the official standing beside Li Yan see Li Yan's expression, and he couldn't help but tremble all over. He didn't expect Li Yan to look like a gentle person, and he would have such a terrible side, but they also slandered these people in their hearts, and they wanted to provoke Li Yan if they didn't mess with anyone.

But I also have a little sympathy for these people, because they can also see their miserable situation.

After shuddering, the official hurriedly nodded: "Li Yangongzi, don't worry, this will definitely be brought." ”

Seeing this, Li Yan nodded, took out a silver ticket worth ten taels of silver from his arms, handed it to the official and said: "It's really troublesome to everyone, this is a little heart, I hope you will accept it, go and buy a little wine." ”

"No, no, no." When the official saw the silver taels handed to him by Li Yan, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Li Yan Gongzi, this is not good, how dare we want to accept your silver money, this must let the military county guard and Commander Chen know, we are all scolded, maybe this month's Fengyin will be gone." ”

When Li Yan heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "Except for me and my brother, it's you here." As long as we don't say it, you don't say it, who knows about it, so don't worry. Even if they are found out and know about it at that time, as long as they say that I shoehorned it, they will not say anything. ”

When the official heard Li Yan's words, he immediately hesitated. is also as Li Yan said, as long as no one says it, who knows about this matter. And they don't have a lot of silver a month, so in many cases, they are making extra money to fill their lives, but this is not something that anyone can take money, such as Li Yan, who can't take it.

After hesitating for a while, the official slowly took Li Yan's silver ticket, saluted Li Yanxing and said with a smile: "Then thank you Li Yangongzi for the reward." And those officials also saluted Li Yan and expressed their gratitude.

Seeing this, Li Yan waved his hand and said, "There is nothing going on here, and the weather is so hot now, so why don't you go find a place to rest and rest?" Antipyretic. ”

When Li Yan said this, he obviously meant that he had ordered the eviction of customers, but he said it very tactfully. And those officials could also hear the meaning of Li Yan's words, and they didn't have anything to do here, and there was no meaning here, so they saluted Li Yan with their fists: "Since that's the case, let's say goodbye first." After saying that, the group walked directly out of the gate of the house.

After Li Yan and the others saw these people leaving, they slowly retracted their gaze, looked at Wen Monkey and said, "There is basically nothing to do now, wait for the next afternoon to buy back all the materials that these people have lost." Tomorrow should still be a normal start, so don't delay this matter. ”

When Wen Monkey heard Li Yan's words, he nodded directly and agreed, "Okay, Brother Yan." ”

After Wen Monkey agreed, he asked, "By the way, Brother Yan, I don't understand why you just gave these officials silver tickets?" They are all members of official families, and they receive money every month. ”

"Hehe, that's being said." When Li Yan heard Wen Monkey's words, he smiled and said: "What you must know is that they do this business, and it looks pretty good, but in fact, Fengyin is not much in a month, and it is just enough to spend money, so it doesn't hurt to give a little." ”

"And I do this for one purpose, that is, they have taken my money, and in the future, if you live here, in addition to Uncle Tang taking care of you, these people can also take care of you. As the so-called man's money and wealth eliminate disasters for others, this is the truth. ”

"Also, the weather is so hot, although these officials are officials, they don't have much enthusiasm to do things, which will affect the security in the city, and Uncle Tang is the manager of this county, so that he can share some burdens for him, so that these people can be active."

"In this case, wouldn't it be better to manage the security of the city? So giving ten taels of silver is just a drop in the bucket. However, it is not a loss to let these people work actively. Li Yan directly stated his opinion on the incident he had just done.

When Wen Monkey heard what Li Yan said, he also understood why Li Yan did this. He really didn't think about it in this regard, and he didn't think as much as Li Yan thought. And through this, Wen Monkey has also learned to behave as a person, knowing that if necessary, it doesn't hurt to give a little, as long as it's good for himself.

Even if there is no benefit, it can make others owe you a favor, and you can be the so-called cannibalistic soft-mouthed and short-handed. As long as you have something to do, find them and they will do it for you.

Li Yan saw Wen Monkey's understanding look, nodded and said: "Take your time, it's not that anyone is born to know it, even if it can't, it's nothing, as long as I'm here, no one will dare to bully you." ”

Wen Monkey nodded when he heard Li Yan's words, but he was very moved in his heart. He is also the person who believes in Li Yan the most, so no matter what Li Yan says, he will also believe it, after all, Li Yan has never deceived him, and he is still the most learned person, not comparable to himself.

But he was still a little disappointed in himself, he always wanted to help Li Yan, but he couldn't help at all, which made him sometimes scold himself for being useless.

Li Yan didn't know what Wen Monkey was thinking, but looked at the house carefully. After two days of renovation, the house has been renovated by one-third, and if it is renovated for one day today, it can be renovated half, but in addition to this file, the project can only be delayed.

And in addition to these, the materials used for the renovation also have to be bought from scratch, but this one thing has already been handed over to Wen Monkey to do, so Li Yan is not worried about anything else. As long as there are five days, the house is considered to have been renovated.
