Volume 1 ● The Recalcitrant People Chapter 55 Earning Too Little Money! (Ask for collection)
Anu made a new wine, which Guo Yang called a green ant.
The new wine is still turbid, and the green ant-like wine foam is poured into the jue, which shows the spirit of the grain.
The wine is a good wine, the five grains are brewed, the meat is a yellow sheep, and it is slightly fishy, but listening to the snow shochu and eating meat, it is simply the biggest noble.
Outside, it is the middle of winter, and God has a snow from time to time, so that the people of Tianshui Village, who can eat and eat a full stomach, stay at home all day long, eat and sleep, sleep and eat. If you are really bored, you can wrap yourself tightly in a sheepskin jacket, bring a wolfskin hat, and wear a pair of wolfskin boots to walk around the Grand Canyon.
It's all about the kids, though. Adults are most looking forward to the snow in winter, there is meat in the copper tripod, and the wine is fragrant, who wants to run into the ice and snow?
If you want to go out in this weather, the only ones may be Guo Yang and Anu.
Full of wine and meat, the two simply cleaned up and went out.
"The snow is good this year, and we should have a good harvest next year." Guo Yang stepped on the thick snow and seemed to be in a good mood.
"Well, it's been snowing six times in a row." It is rare to see Guo Yang show his face, and Anu is also in a good mood.
"Listen to Ah Tu's report, all the people sent out by Wang Huzi are coming back soon?" Guo Yang asked.
"One person lost his life, one lost his leg, and the others are coming back soon, so I guess it's been three or five days." Anu said.
"One dead and one wounded? What's going on? Guo Yang stopped, frowned and asked.
"I heard that the one who was killed was named Zhang Liuzhi, who was also clever, but he liked the tune, and fell in love with a proprietress who opened an inn, but he was drugged and overturned, cut into more than a dozen pieces and threw them in the gutter."
Anu paused and continued: "As for the one who had his leg broken, he was reported to the official by a cattle dealer in a tooth shop, who dragged him into the yamen and ate a stick and broke his leg. Later, the people who went with him spent all their belongings to save their lives. ”
"Which Ya Xing, which Yamen, go back and let Ah Tu deal with it. Those who should be killed will be killed, and those who should be broken will be discounted. Merchants and merchants, as long as it is not our own problem, whoever provokes us will retaliate. Guo Yang said indifferently.
"Where's the innkeeper?" Anu asked hesitantly.
"Zhang Liuzhi killed himself, who is to blame? In the future, you go and set rules for them, and if you commit your own crimes, don't wait for others to do it, and our people will clean up the door. Guo Yang said.
During this time, Guo Yang has repeatedly thought about it, if you want the people of Tianshui Village to go out to do business and do business, you have to have rules.
Guo Yang's meaning is that the descendants of merchants must have rules themselves, and others must also have rules. In this way, the descendants of merchants can be guaranteed to do business with peace of mind, otherwise, it will be difficult to move an inch in this troubled world.
Anu was very satisfied with this, and as long as Guo Yang gave him an order, he immediately began to carry it out.
The boy of the thirty descendants of the merchant is an invisible whip for him, not only to make those who bully the descendants of the merchant hurt, but also to the merchant himself.
The two of them walked very slowly, stopping from time to time to learn about the moisture of the cultivated land and the defense of Tianshui Village, as if they were two serious farmers.
As for the green ant mentioned in Anu's hand, Guo Yang smiled and said that he should go back to the cave and continue drinking, it was cold and snowy outside, and it looked a little emotional, but his hands and feet were really a little cold.
……
Tianshuizhai went out to do business and came back, one less, one was lifted, and everyone else was a little tired and excited.
The woman of the dead man wept in a low voice, accepting the mourning of the king's beard. The one with a broken leg was carried into the cave by two men with a snort. As soon as he entered the door, the man instructed his wife to stew a pile of rotten meat and cook a jue of wine to celebrate his great calamity and future blessings.
The fire in the king's beard's house burned the brightest, and the whole cave was hot.
He slaughtered two cows and seven sheep with his own hands, took out dozens of jars of good wine for everyone to catch the wind and wash the dust, and congratulated everyone on the success of the first transaction.
"Everyone, let's drink this wine together!" The beard of the king has been carefully combed, and he looks particularly energetic.
"Thank you, Boss!" More than a hundred men said in unison, and the momentum was quite loud, which startled Wang Huzi's son who had just fallen asleep, and he cried.
"This doesn't seem to be my king's beard species!" Wang Huzi glanced at his son and cursed a foul word, causing a group of men to burst into laughter.
"Okay, don't laugh, let's drink wine and eat meat first, and have a good time. Everyone went out to do business, hard work! The king's beard raised his bronze skewer and said in a loud voice.
Everyone agreed with a bang, began to eat and drink, and immediately resumed the posture of the bandits of the year.
Wang Huzi sat on a leopard skin stone pier, his face full of red light, and looked at his gang of bandits with satisfaction, a little drunk.
"I said, how did you earn when you went out this time? Has the outside world changed much? Wang Huzi took a sip of wine and asked.
The noisy crowd slowly cooled down, eating meat and drinking wine one by one, and was a little dodgy in Wang Huzi's knife-like eyes.
Wang Huzi's face slowly became gloomy, and he said slowly: "What, don't you talk about Hu anymore?" ”
"Boss, it's not easy to make money outside, I just experienced famine and war, most people are as poor as ghosts, how can we have spare money to earn." A man with a scar sighed.
"Yes, it's too poor outside, even if it's all slaughtered, even if it's not a few catties of hair." A big bald man said angrily.
"What about the nobles? Those Zhou people in Jicheng should be rich! Wang Huzi asked, his face rather ugly.
"I also said that those Zhou dogs, we went out to do business, and people directly pulled them into the business without asking about it, and the taxes of various names immediately fell on our heads. Before he made any money, he was deceived a lot by those Zhou dogs. A tall, thin man said hatefully.
"This is not bad, if we don't become a businessman, we will be treated as displaced people, either arrested and taken as slaves, or ripped away by the official family like He Laosi, first eat a stick and discount two dog legs. If it weren't for the money up and down to open up the joints, I'm afraid we would have to lose two men this time. A gray-haired man said dejectedly.
Wang's beard's face became more and more ugly, and finally became iron-blue.
"What's going on with Zhang Liuzhi?" Wang Huzi asked suddenly.
Several people suddenly hooked their heads, but they didn't dare to answer.
"Boss, it's like this, you also know the problem with the six fingers, and it's usually like that tune. What is hateful is that the proprietress of the Ruyun Inn in the southern suburbs of Jicheng was originally a slut, probably disgusted that Zhang Liuzhi had no money, so she found someone to do him. A middle-aged man who looked quite capable said abruptly.
"Is that really the case?" Wang Huzi asked coldly.
"That's right, more than 20 people in our group can testify that the old businessman is a rotten thing." The man said.
"I see. Go back and send a few brothers to demolish the inn for Lao Tzu and get the old lady. Wang Huzi said coldly.
"Yes." Several people happily agreed, and it seemed that being a trader was really not as exciting as being a bandit.
"The tooth of the sue will also be killed by the way. As for the official government of Yan Kingdom...... Forget it, we have to be serious businessmen, and try not to offend those who can offend the government. Wang Huzi said with a deep groan.
"But, do you want He Laosi's legs to be discounted in vain?" The man with the scar asked.
"It's a discount, it's a discount, and I've finally picked up a dog's life and come back. When you do business in the future, you must keep in mind that you must keep your distance from those dogs in the government as much as possible, if you can't do it, you can make more money, and Lao Tzu will not be able to do it, and you can't buy a few little ghosts to grind if you have money! Wang Huzi frowned and said, then waved his hand and stopped talking about these unpleasant things.
The first time the people of Tianshui Village went on business, they took a half-human life, and in the end they got very little, except for a few hundred catties of salt and less than three hundred knife coins, there was no happy result. This made Wang Huzi a little skeptical that there was something wrong with his decision-making.
After sending off the well-drunk men, Wang Huzi stood in the snow and sighed for most of the night, and finally it was his merchant's wife who forcibly pulled him into the warm bed.
On a winter night, the animal skin bedding exuded a strange mixture of unpleasant urine and animal skin, which made the originally depressed Wang Hu suddenly excited again.
"Let them do their best work, there will always be a time to be proficient." The wife's voice grew lower and lower, and to the ears of the king's beard, it seemed a bit like a cat's meow.
