Chapter 9: A Pit That Smells for 10,000 Years
Xu Xu and Li Tai's bet was decided so casually.
This was only a verbal agreement, and there was no written evidence.
After everything was settled, Xu Xu went back to the room.
Yesterday he was so tired from the day, and the smell of sweat all over his body made him feel very uncomfortable.
Because I was so tired, I didn't take a shower at all.
At this time, it is natural to take a shower and go to sleep comfortably.
There is no need for Xu Xu to do all this, and after telling Ye Jun, naturally someone took care of everything.
All services are taken for granted, and now Xu Xu is the Marquis of Jingyang County, according to the grade of Datang, but from the third grade, Jingyang County Order is just a nine-grade sesame official.
It is just a matter of course for Xu Xu to stammer, not only that, but Xu Xu is also his savior, the smallpox incident is enough to make his career gloomy in the future, and Li Tai's death is enough for him to be buried with him, all of which have been solved by Xu Xu.
Now he treats Xu Xu better than his own father.
Xu Xu also enjoyed his treatment with peace of mind, because he had such a privilege, which he had earned through his hard work yesterday.
Although smallpox used the system, it was his own effort to save Li Tai.
However, by the time he started to take a shower, it felt like everything was not so rosy.
The whole body was stripped naked, and after entering the bathtub, two bath beans were black and not slippery.
It looks like sheep poop eggs.
When I saw this thing in the bath, my beautiful mood was instantly lost.
"By the way, there seems to be a soap manufacturing method in my previous novice gift bag, no, I have to study it carefully, this hygiene problem must be studied carefully."
After Xu Xu thought it through, he immediately came out of the bathtub, wiped his body casually, put on the clothes that Ye Jun had prepared for him, and immediately extracted the manufacturing method of the soap and began to study it.
Xu Xu originally wanted to study it carefully, but after taking two looks, he knew the specific operation.
There is really no technical difficulty in this play, and it can be made out in two casual strokes, which is really simple and excessive.
"Huh? Soap is a must, but what else is needed? ”
Xu Xu slowly closed the book and began to think, and at this time, he suddenly thought of paper.
Of course, it's not the paper on the market where you write books, it's the paper that wipes your buttocks.
He suddenly thought of the three months that he had traveled over and waited for the opportunity, all of which were raised by the toilet, and in retrospect, he felt that the chrysanthemum was a little faintly painful.
No way!
This toilet paper must be made sooner rather than later!
At this time, Xu Xu thought of the ultimate guide to the four major inventions he had gotten.
There is papermaking in this, and toilet paper is also paper, and he believes that there must be toilet paper in the guide to papermaking, otherwise how can it be called the ultimate?
Thinking of this, Xu Xu directly took out the ultimate guide to the four major inventions, a thick book, and Xu Xu directly turned to the toilet paper part of the papermaking part through the table of contents.
This toilet paper is much more complicated than soap, Xu Xu looked at it quietly for a long time, and then he had a point in his heart, and when he closed the ultimate guide, he found that it was already dark.
"Why does time pass so quickly when you read a book and study something? After doing so much yesterday, I didn't feel like time was passing fast. ”
Xu Xu couldn't help but complain, then stretched his waist and fell asleep directly on the bed.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Li Tai ran over and called him up.
The gambling contract has begun, and Li Tai is naturally very anxious.
Xu Xu glanced at Li Tai, didn't say anything, and directly let Li Tai lead the way.
The five surnames and seven wangs have no houses in this Jingyang county town, they all have manors outside Jingyang City.
The nearest manor to Jingyang County is the manor of the Taiyuan Wang family, which is the territory of a branch of the Taiyuan Wang family, and the relationship with the descendants is relatively close, so there is this set of manors.
After all, Jingyang is on the edge of Chang'an, and the manors of the five surnames and seven wangs in Jingyang are basically some families who are relatively close to each other by their descendants.
Although these families are not as rich as their descendants, they are not in a hurry, and those who have money and land in their families are not short of food and drink.
Relying on the relationship between the descendants of the family, it can be regarded as a wealthy family.
Xu Xu and Li Tai soon came to the Wang family manor.
With Li Tai's face, someone soon welcomed the two in.
"His Royal Highness the King of Wei is here, and the old man has lost his welcome, and he hopes to forgive his sins."
When the two entered the main hall, an old man in brocade walked in and accused King Wei.
This is Wang Dun, the head of the Wang family.
This Wang Dun just said hello to King Wei and didn't pay attention to Xu Xu.
He thought that Xu Xu was just an entourage of King Wei.
"Master Wang, today is not the king looking for you, but Hou Xu Xu of Jingyang County wants to find you."
Li Tai pointed at Xu Xu and introduced him to Wang Dun.
At this time, Wang Duncai looked at Xu Xu, bowed to Xu Xu, and then said: "Old and clumsy, I still hope that the Hou Ye will forgive his sins." ”
"I have also just been made a marquis by His Majesty, and it is understandable that the head of the Wang family does not know."
Xu Xu waved his hand, and he didn't mean to blame, just kidding, he came here today to make money, how could he offend the God of Wealth?
"I don't know what happened to Master Hou looking for the old man?"
Wang Dun didn't know what Xu Xu was looking for him at this time, but he was not false, although he was not a character, but he was a member of the Taiyuan Wang family, a member of the family, and naturally he would not be afraid of a little Hou Ye.
"Your Majesty asked me and King Wei to rebuild Jingyang, the head of the Wang family should know that rebuilding Jingyang requires a lot of property, and we have no money in our hands, so I want to see if the head of the Wang family can donate some."
"That's it?"
Wang Dun glanced at Xu Xu, then waved his hand and said arrogantly: "Butler, go to the treasury and take out the five yuan to support the reconstruction of His Royal Highness King Wei and Hou Ye!" ”
The shot was quite generous, and he took out five times at once, but for the reconstruction of Jingyang, this is just a drop in the bucket.
Of course, this Wuguan is basically given for the sake of King Wei's face.
If Xu Xu came over to ask for money, it would basically end up closed.
When Xu Xu heard this, he immediately stood up and thanked Wang Dun: "Thank you for your generosity, I thank the Wang family master for the people of Jingyang." ”
"You're welcome, you're welcome, you should be!"
Wang Dun was moved by Xu Xu's enthusiasm, although this five yuan is a lot of money for ordinary people, but for him it is just a drop in the penny.
Xu Xu was so grateful to him, but he still wouldn't make any additional investment.
Xu Xu said to Wang Dun very sincerely: "I will definitely engrave the generous donation of the Wang family master on the merit tablet, so that the entire people of Jingyang and their descendants know everything that the Wang family has paid for our Jingyang reconstruction, and we must let the generosity of the Wang family master last for generations!" ”
Ga?
Suddenly, the smile on Wang Dun's face disappeared.
Xu Xu said this, and Wang Dun took a deep breath.
"Master Hou, how much did you donate just now?"
"Five times!"
"Five? No, don't you hear a hundred words less? I'm talking about 500 guan! ”
"What?"
Li Tai stood up directly from the chair and looked at Wang Dun, the whole person was in disbelief.
What exactly is the reason?
Why did this Wang family master suddenly multiply a hundredfold?
"That's right, it's five hundred! How? Is the king of Wei too little? Then I'll add another 500! Make it up, a thousand! How is it? ”
Wang Dun was immediately anxious, and directly doubled himself.
Li Tai swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and he didn't know at all, what the hell was going on?
"Then thank you to the Wang family master! Don't worry, I'll make a note of this! This is a great merit for us in Jingyang! With so much money, I asked the head of the Wang family to prepare it and send it to the county office, please. ”
Xu Xu finally gave Wang Dun a bow again, and then took King Wei to prepare to go to the next house.
"Bastard!"
When Xu Xu left the Wang family, Wang Dun directly smashed the teacup on the table.
After leaving the Wang family, Li Tai finally couldn't help it: "Why? ”
"Why do you think he suddenly changed his tune? From five to five to five hundred, and then to a thousand? ”
Xu Xu suddenly smiled mysteriously, and then said to King Wei: "You said that as long as I get a hundred runs, I will recognize me as the boss, and now that I have done a thousand runs, you call me the boss, and I will tell you the reason." ”
"Boss!"
Li Tai was very decisive, he wanted to know the reason.
"Hey, hey."
Xu Xu smiled, and then said to Li Tai: "The Monument of Merit, for ordinary people, is indeed a monument of merit that will last for a hundred years, but for the five surnames and seven wangs, this is a pit that has been stinking for thousands of years. ”
