Chapter Fifty-Seven: We Need to Advance

The course of the day was very relaxed, probably Master Zhou walked a long way, his body was not very comfortable, and he did not have much energy to consume with a few energetic boys, mainly because he listened to the four students report on the self-study homework during this time, and asked some questions at random, but the eldest Sun Hong was okay and could answer, and the three brothers of Li Wen asked a muffled gourd, and they couldn't answer anything, and threw Zhou Fuzi's good mood into the ditch.

"Ridiculous! Absurd! Zhou Fuzi blew his white beard, glared and slapped the ring ruler loudly: "The three of you are about to go to the county school, and you are still not working hard, when I leave, I repeatedly asked you to study and learn words, are you all regarded as a deaf ear?" You must know that there are many students in the county school, you have gone to the fish and the eyes, and others ask, isn't it a shame for my Master Zhou's face? Today Hugh said, one person receives ten precepts! ”

The sound of "popping" bamboo planks falling meat was shocking, and the three brothers Li Wen were beaten so that the pigs screamed, and the eldest grandson Hong heard too much, and was insensitive, so he said goodbye to his master with a blanket on his back and went home on his own.

The letter was carefully stored in the inner layer of the jacket, and the treasure was hidden. In the future, this is the magic weapon for him to settle down, but he can't be careless.

Because the class ended early, it was not yet noon, the eldest grandson Hong hurriedly ran to the threshing floor in the village.

Before arriving at the place, I saw the crowd in front of me, many villagers surrounded the huge threshing floor inside and outside three layers, stretched their necks and looked in lively, and the crowd from time to time made bursts of "ah" and "oh" praise and praise, as if they saw something remarkable and rare.

Changsun Hong was secretly happy in his heart, squeezed in, and saw at a glance that Zhang Carpenter was holding his chest and belly up, driving a donkey vigorously, pulling the wooden rice mill machine quickly, and the yellow brown rice accompanied by the sound of "quack" continued to pour out from the square warehouse and flow into the basket that had been placed below.

Zhang's mouth couldn't close, and he laughed happily, and Carpenter Zhang proudly shouted at the donkey and danced the whip to a "snap".

"It's amazing, it's amazing! This guy grinded a few men's rice in a day or two in the morning, so fast! ”

"I heard about this rice mill last month, but I haven't seen it, and it has already spread in Zhangjia Village, and many people are vying to ask Zhang Carpenter to mill rice, which is very convenient."

"You think you'll just invite someone to come? Didn't you hear from anyone? This is the eldest grandson Baozheng's Erlang to invite, and the people came. This machine is very expensive, it costs several dollars a piece, and you can't afford it when you're idle. ”

"How much money? Thumbs up, it's expensive! ”

The onlookers of the village exchanged heads and talked about each other, and the eldest grandson Hong squeezed through the cracks, greeted his mother, and greeted Carpenter Zhang.

As soon as Carpenter Zhang saw Changsun Hong, he stuffed the whip of the donkey to an apprentice who came with him, and mysteriously pulled Changsun Hong aside and secretly stuffed him with a money bag.

The money bag is very heavy, pinched with his hands, and the inside is not hard like a copper coin, Changsun Hong looked at Zhang Carpenter suspiciously, his eyes were full of confusion.

Before he could speak, Carpenter Zhang covered his mouth first, peeked around and saw that no one was paying attention, and then approached Changsun Hong's ear and said happily: "I have changed it to silver, I am afraid that the copper coin will be inconvenient to carry." This is the most recent benefit, according to the molecule Erlang you deserve. ”

This time it was the turn of Changsun Hong to be surprised, the silver taels in the money bag were roughly estimated, at least nearly one catty, that is, about ten taels, not long ago Zhang Carpenter gave the money once, how long has it been, why are there so many points?

Facing the puzzled gaze of Changsun Hong, Zhang Carpenter's face turned into a balloon, and he smiled: "These days, the old man is even eating and sleeping, all the things in the workshop have stopped, and all the people have rushed to make rice mills for me, hey, you don't know, Erlang, now that everyone knows the benefits of this thing, the door-to-door buyers are about to step on the threshold, because there are not enough people, they can't do it, and the customers who are waiting in line are lined up until next month. ”

This was unexpected by Changsun Hong, I thought that I would promote the rice mill, but I couldn't do it in a few months and a half, after all, this is an era of information congestion, and the news is passed on from person to person, but I didn't expect that in just over a month, everyone knows it.

"Convenient stuff, everybody likes." Carpenter Zhang smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into a slit, the eldest grandson Hongde's was not as much as him, so he naturally wanted to make a fortune more ruthlessly: "By the way, this trip to help your family mill rice is free, no money, no money!" ”

Changsun Hong smiled, pinching the money bag with considerable weight and laughing with Carpenter Zhang, if you have money, you will be in a better mood.

Squatting beside him, looking at the rice milling machine that everyone was watching, the eldest grandson Hongle was thinking about how much benefit it could bring to himself before other carpenters mastered the knack of building.

The more the merrier, this is the first pot of gold, and the future capital depends on it.

The business of making money from the ground, I am happy to think about it!

However, just after noon, when the eldest grandson Hong had just returned home to put down the blanket and hide the silver, the brothers Li Wen and Li Wu came to the door.

"We'll leave tomorrow, you pack up and prepare to go to the county seat with us." Li Wen was so angry that he put his two hands in his sleeves and said to Changsun Hong with a straight face: "Dog, we also sent someone to inform him, and my father agreed, he said that anyway, our three brothers are one scholar in the county, and we don't have them, it's just you." ”

"Why are you in such a hurry? Don't wait until the end of the month? The eldest grandson Hongqi said that he knew that the county school accepts students, and generally opens in spring and autumn every year, in order to respond to the triennial spring examination of the state capital, and the next enrollment will wait until the beginning of November, and there are still ten days.

"We can't wait a day!" Li Wu shouted indignantly, and he stared at Changsun Hong with eyes full of jealousy: "Master won't beat you now, he will beat us instead!" The ring ruler is big, and it hurts to fight, and if you hit it a few more times, the chopsticks can't hold it steadily! ”

Li Wen also pouted and said: "We went to ask Daddy, go to the county seat early, even if we leave home, it is better than being reprimanded by the master every day." ”

Changsun Hong's face was flushed, and he couldn't hold back his laughter, it turned out that these two boys were beaten by Zhou Fuzi's hatred of iron and steel, and they couldn't stand it, so they remembered to run away, isn't this the same as the poor students in the school in later generations who couldn't stand the education and ran away from home?

He thought for a moment and asked, "Then why don't you tell your father to change to a Xixi?" With your family's financial resources, you can hire another gentleman. ”

The two brothers glanced at each other, lowered their heads, and Li Wen said dejectedly: "Hugh wants to mention this, just because of this, my father reprimanded our brother severely, saying that the master is the eunuch he finally invited. ”

Li Wu said: "Master Zhou is said to be very knowledgeable, Dad believes in him very much, I heard Dad say that Master used to be a great official, and asked us to learn more from Master, and we will have a good background in the future." ”

Li Wen angrily pulled his hand out of his sleeve and slapped it into the void, Changsun Hong noticed that his hands were red, and it seemed that he had been beaten lightly: "Master, what's so great?" It's not hired by my father, and in my opinion, no matter how high the knowledge is, it's not worth the money, and it's useless to learn so many books! ”

Li Wu shook his head and echoed: "That's right, that's right!" ”

Seeing the two living treasures complaining, Changsun Hong only felt funny, and he didn't bother to persuade them to learn, so he said casually: "Yes, just like me, I am much better than your homework, and I am not a gunman with you." ”

The two of them love to hear this, and they can't help laughing when they hear it, bullying Changsun Hong was originally one of the hobbies of the two, but now they are restrained by Changsun Hong, and they have nothing to do, only by relying on money can they find a balance.

"That's that, Changsun Hong, don't worry, as long as you give our brother a good gunman in the future, we won't forget you." Li Wen pretended to pat his chest generously, probably shaking the sore part of his palm, and grinned: "When we go to the county seat, we will have fun eating and drinking." ”

Li Wu leaned his head over and smiled mysteriously: "I heard that there is still that kind of place in the city, there are women, hehe, my father has been there, my third aunt said, we will also open our eyes when the time comes." ”

The two brothers burst out laughing, and the gloom was swept away.

The eldest grandson Hongton has a headache, and the twelve-year-old child visits the kiln? Isn't that messy?
