Chapter 67: The Toothy Man
Xiao Qi hesitated for a long time, but in the end he could only comply.
Fan Ming turned to Chen Siliang and said, "Uncle Chen, you go back first, before I come, the master asked me to visit each family to learn first, and I also want to ask for some poems, and I will hover for a few days before I can go back." ”
Chen Siliang's eyes rolled, looked at Fan Ming's body, and finally nodded, "I don't know anything about you scholars, but Uncle Chen has one more word here, although he has entered the county school now, don't let this fancy world squint." ”
Fan Ming knew what Chen Siliang meant, and he didn't dare to say hurriedly, "Don't worry, Uncle Chen, you don't know what kind of person I am." ”
Chen Siliang nodded, "It's good that you know it in your heart." ”
Saying goodbye to Chen Siliang and Xiao Qi, although Fan Ming didn't go back, Chen Siliang and his party were very happy, the two of them were promoted to the county school, and Chen Siliang showed his face today.
Although the other three have a little regret, they finally came out to see the world, and besides, they didn't take the matter of going to the county school to heart in their hearts, and the villagers are already very good at being able to read and write.
Wandering around the county alone, the reason why he stayed was because he planned to find a long-term channel for money.
Although the county school is provided by Chuqiu, it is only to maintain the basic study fee, and other county school students may have enough money, but he can't, after all, there is still an old lady and sister-in-law to support, and if he comes to the county school, he will definitely not rest assured that the old lady will stay in the countryside for a long time, which is bound to increase a lot of expenses.
If you don't find an income sooner, the future will be difficult.
Moreover, he has already promised Xiangxue that he will first earn a family business, which is also the capital for starting a family in the future.
The most important thing is that he wants to find a place to live in the city, he has inquired before, the county school provides food, but does not provide accommodation, and he can not always send people under the fence for a long time in the county in the future, or find a place to live.
He had some inspiration in his heart before he came, but whether he could implement it had to be investigated before he could achieve it.
The county school is outside the east city, after Fan Ming entered the city, he walked directly to the direction of the wharf, generally speaking, what business is good in the city built according to the canal, it depends on what goods are transported on the wharf, the wharf is a small distribution center, and the bazaar.
The first two times were in a hurry, and Fan Ming didn't have time to investigate, so this time he took the opportunity to investigate carefully.
After walking for about an hour, Fan Ming arrived at the edge of the wharf, and at a glance it was still crowded with people, all kinds of people from the wharf to the city gate were busy, shouting and shouting one after another, which seemed to be particularly lively.
There are all kinds of smells mixed on the dock, and there are even fish stalls, and this piece of fish smells very strong.
Fan Ming is dressed as a scholar, but he looks a little different, and there are many idle people such as splashes and thugs who are quietly looking at him with their eyes and pondering his identity.
If an ordinary scholar comes to this kind of place where there are three religions and nine streams, dragons and snakes are mixed, he will definitely be at a loss, but Fan Ming is not stunned at all, he is not a second-year teenager who has never seen the world and read dead books, all kinds of people think that Yemen is clear, as long as he is careful, ordinary people can't fool him.
And he is very aware of the weight of the identity of the scholar, which can be regarded as an iron talisman for this era, since Taizu set up the training of "the emperor and the scholar rule the world together", the status of the scholar has been unprecedentedly improved.
So much so that now in the minds of ordinary people, reading talents are high-grade.
Walking around the wharf, Fan Ming saw a lot of things along the way, the transportation capacity of this era is insufficient, so many goods are not piled up on the wharf, but stored in the warehouse, and there are many large shacks densely built around the wharf, which is obviously a warehouse used to store things.
The main bulk items are grain, cloth, silk, salt, paper, porcelain, etc., Fan Ming also saw a lot of people in the public gate at the wharf, but he didn't know which department of the yamen was in charge and what kind of job he was in charge of.
To his surprise, he even saw the existence of the guild.
It is not uncommon to see guilds in later generations, but the guilds of this era are certainly not the same concept as those of later generations.
Here, of course, Fan Ming was not stupid enough to take the initiative to ask, now for him in Chuqiu, he is still just a foreigner who doesn't know anything, not to mention that he hasn't figured out what to ask, even if he knows what to ask, it's a joke, maybe people will catch the handle and let people target something.
After walking around the dock for a long time, Fan Ming finally understood the general situation, and it was not too early to look at the sky, and when he was about to find a place to eat like last time, a voice next to him suddenly sounded, "Childe, but do you want to adopt a little lady?" ”
Fan Ming turned around and found that a thin man with an obscene description didn't know when he stood behind him, and immediately frowned, "What?" ”
The thin man smiled obscenely and made people a little annoyed, and said with a smile: "Childe, I saw that you went around the dock for an hour, and you didn't make any deals, presumably there was no other way to ask for it, and it should be the adoption of the little lady if nothing else, so I took the liberty to come up and ask." ”
With the experience of the last time, now he is not a complete chick, and said with a straight face: "What if I say that you are wrong? ”
The thin man shook his head again, "The little one is very bright, you can't be mistaken, besides, Childe is not the first to buy it, there are many rich and noble families in Beicheng who have bought it from me." ”
Fan Ming's heart moved, and he immediately understood the identity of this thin man, isn't he just a human trafficker, but isn't Da Song very strict with human trafficking, how dare this thin man be so blatantly soliciting people to buy and sell, and couldn't help but look at this thin man with doubts.
The thin man seemed to guess what Fan Ming was thinking, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the son is too worried, the contemptible people who were raw people in the early years, but in recent years, they only help people adopt and do good deeds, and the government can't control me, but wants to pay for me to buy miles." ”
Looking at the shameless appearance of this thin man, Fan Ming suddenly had an urge to beat him.
However, from the thin man's words, he heard a lot of information, the government may not know about these things, maybe he even intervened, no wonder this guy dares to be so blatant.
After thinking about it, Fan Ming said: "Okay, take me to have a look and see how the goods are doing." ”
Hearing Fan Ming nod, the thin man suddenly smiled and showed a mouthful of yellow teeth, and stepped forward, "Childe, please come with me, make sure that Childe is satisfied, and there are good goods in Yingtianfu." ”
