Wei Gongzi hurriedly ran to the west gate, and sure enough, he saw the people in the slum lining up to put their wheat in baskets and sell them to the merchants in front.

Wei Gongzi is happy in his heart, time is money! Taking advantage of the fact that no one has discovered this way of earning now, Wei Gongzi hurriedly rushed home in a car and reported the news to his father.

He is not the only one in the Wei family's management of the Grange. As a young son, he is quite favored by Lao Tzu, although Lao Tzu Weilong dislikes some pedantic brothers more and more, but it is still quite difficult to break the family rules and squeeze out the position inherited by his brother as the eldest son.

For this reason, Wei Long deliberately set up rules for the head of the Wei family, whoever can make contributions to the family will serve as the next steward of the Wei family!

In the future, I will eat and drink spicy food, continue to wear the skin of the Wei family, or take a little money to live in my hometown like a lost dog, just look at this fight!

After discussing for half an hour, after Wei Long personally saw the acquisition site, Wei Jiao, the son of Wei, took Wei Long and quietly embezzled the family's land deed to find Zhang Xing, a famous loan shark merchant in Luoyang City!

Was there usury in the Han Dynasty 2,000 years ago?

Usury is an ancient business, and one of the huge incomes in Lü Buwei's family is usury!

In the chaotic era of the Spring and Autumn Period of the Warring States Period, loan sharks not only provided money lending business to the poor people, but also lent money to the state! Yingbu, one of the four fierce generals under Xiang Yu at the end of Qin, was a thug for usury merchants in his early years, specializing in collecting usury.

In the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the imperial court could not come up with so much money to pay the soldiers in a panic. He was ready to borrow money from the loan shark, but after assessing the risk, the loan shark refused to borrow money from the imperial court, and the imperial court had no choice but to force the merchant to borrow money. In the end, as long as the famous usury merchant Wuyan in Chang'an lent tens of thousands of gold to the imperial court!

Later, knowing the development of the matter, after the imperial court put down the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, it returned the money and interest on the loan to the Wuyan clan.

Behind every usury merchant must be a huge power in power. And standing behind Zhang Xing is his elder brother, Zhang Rang, the ten permanent servants.

Wei Jiao was holding a lot of money, and his hands were trembling a little, this was a big gamble!

But the merchants of China have never lacked the courage to gamble, the caravans of the Silk Road, and the ancient tea horse road of Sichuan and Yunnan are not merchants who walk in China.

Wei Jiao not only let the tenants in the family sell their wheat, but also personally came to negotiate with other unaware families to buy wheat at a price higher than one percent of the market price, when talking about the tenth Li family. Finally, the news of Liu Wei's acquisition of wheat spread throughout the capital. Wei Jiao regretfully walked out of the Li family, who was full of vigilance and shouted luck.

Being able to talk about so much was beyond Wei Jiao's expectations. By the time he felt the grain purchase point, the queue had already formed a long line, and many familiar sounds and shadows appeared in the alley on one side.

Is everyone smart, as soon as the news spreads, who can embarrass the valuable cutie? Last year's harvest was not good, and the landlord's family was also short of money, since His Royal Highness the Prince of Great Mercy wants to help the common people, then also help us by the way!

In their opinion, letting tenants disguise themselves as commoners to sell wheat is already the greatest respect for Liu Wei.

All the major families with fields and farms have poured all their wheat here.

After the family that signed the acquisition agreement with Wei Jiao knew the situation, he was angry and beat his chest, and made a two-layer deal in a blink of an eye, who didn't look blushing? But there is nothing to be done, the ancients paid great attention to the spirit of contract.

The three chapters of the covenant established by Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and the old Qin people in Guanzhong are still effective. Han Sima Qian's "Historical Records: Gaozu Benji": "Covenant with my father, three chapters of the law; The murderer dies, wounds and steals. ”

This constitutional contract was kept by the Han Dynasty for 400 years, and even if the nobles and princes committed crimes, the history books were endlessly recorded and mercilessly implemented.

In fact, a cursory investigation will reveal the truth, but the people who buy wheat don't seem to see at all that there is so much wheat in the homes of the common people who carry a few carts of wheat, and they still open the door widely.

Even in order to take care of those big households, let them weigh first, and then give money, and no matter how much they collect. provoked the grain merchants of Luoyang City to join this "feast" one after another.

Thinking back to the beginning, when Liu Wei was going to start helping the victims, the major grain merchants simply sat on the ground and started the price, and the price was higher than the other, and they said that the price was good in the morning, and it rose wildly in the evening, I don't know how much, which caused the people of Luoyang City to suffer one after another.

Liu Biao has no choice but to seek the distance from the near and the benefit of the purchase of grain, and now Liu Biao is also unrelenting, the ancients said: Merchants have no country, and profit is stopped. There's nothing wrong with that.

The family and the merchants were still afraid that Liu Wei would react, and they desperately sold the wheat, and even because there was too much money to pay, they could let Xie Xing keep the accounts first, they were afraid that this gluttonous banquet was over, and they would not be able to get soup to drink.

Just when the family in Luoyang was enjoying the sudden good things, in the post station of Wu County in the south, the sound of the piano came from the room again, and the little girl who was cooking in the side room listened carefully and said with admiration: "Cai's piano sound is so good, if I can be a maid in his house and listen to him play the piano every day, it is also a blessing for three lives!" ”

When the woman who was burning the fire next to her heard this, she slammed her fingers on the girl's head, lowered her voice and said angrily: "You are a big girl with yellow flowers and want to go to a bad old man's house to be a maid, don't forget, your father is also an official!" And that bad old man, who heard that the family is almost too poor to eat except for books, is now guilty of hiding here, and wants me to kick him out sooner or later! ”

"Mother!" The girl pleaded anxiously.

"Anyway, you broke this heart! If Xiao Nizi wants to get married, it just so happens that the county master of our county wants a partial house......"

"Mother...... I don't marry a partial house! The girl's mood was suddenly very low.

"Then I won't let you go to the bad old man's house!" After the woman finished speaking menacingly, she shoved a large piece of firewood into the pot.

"With such a big piece of wood, the old man doesn't know how to see it!" The woman was panting as she carried it, and saw the mottled sound of the wood burning in the stove. I don't know where I got such a large piece of sycamore wood, and I am sinking to death......

One day, Cai Yong sat in the room and sighed, the landlady was cooking on the fire in the stove next door, she stuffed the firewood into the stove, the sparks jumped, and the firewood was burned "crackling".

The person next door is Cai Yong, who lives in seclusion here. Cai Yong often strokes the piano, which is to use the sound of the piano to express the grief and anger of being persecuted for his ambitions and lamenting the melancholy of the bleak future.

Hearing a crisp popping sound from next door, Cai Yong couldn't help but be shocked, raised his head and pricked up his ears to listen carefully for a few seconds, shouted "not good", jumped up and ran to the stove. When he came to the fire, Cai Yong didn't care about the fire and the frightened mother and daughter, so he stretched out his hand and pulled out the piece of paulownia wood that had just been stuffed into the stove as firewood, and shouted loudly: "Don't burn, don't burn, this is a rare and good material for making a piano!" ”

Cai Yong's hand was burned, but he didn't feel pain, and was pleasantly surprised to blow and touch on the paulownia wood. Fortunately, the rescue was timely, and the paulownia wood was still very complete.

The woman pouted, and in her mind, she estimated that the old man's name was about to be preceded by an old madman.

"If you want to go, I'll sell it to you for a thousand dollars!"

"Mother! A piece of charred wood is a thousand dollars, and you can't help but ......," the girl said in a hurry.

"You know what!" The woman scolded, she just saw that Cai Yong, who lived in the post station for nothing, was unhappy, but the post station was at the expense of her own profit and loss, if she didn't squeeze a little more money now, the old lady would go to drink the northwest wind.

"Okay, it's a thousand dollars!" Cai Yong agreed, dragged the wood and left happily back to the room, suddenly thinking that he was actually penniless, he returned to the stove room with some embarrassment and said: "Can you give you a few days of grace, when my disciple comes, I will give you the money,"

When the woman heard this, she immediately became angry, and she didn't have any money and pretended to be a big-mouthed toad, and she didn't kill you! The woman was just about to open her mouth and scold, but the girl next to her hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop her, and whispered in the woman's ear: "Mother, Mr. Cai's disciple is Gu Yong, the eldest son of our Gu family in Wu County......"

"Scared!" The woman was really shocked, who didn't know about the Gu family in Wu County? As the top four families in Wu County, even the entire Jiangdong is thriving, and she can't afford to offend the wife of a small post.

The woman's face changed instantly, and she said enthusiastically: "Don't worry, don't worry, sir, don't be in a hurry when you give it to me, Cuicui, seeing that Mr.'s hand is injured like that, why don't you hurry up and bring the plaster to the room!" ”

This posture of being condescending and respectful made the little girl a little unbearable, and it was you who told me not to go, and you were the one who asked me to go, but the little girl's admiration for literature was self-evident, and she agreed with an excited face.

Cai Yong was still immersed in the joy of getting the good piece of wood for making the piano, and he didn't mind much, and after politely thanking him, he ran back to the room excitedly.

No one knew that this piece of charred sycamore wood was made into one of the four famous ancient pianos.

It is juxtaposed with the "bell" of Duke Qi Huan, the "winding beam" of King Chuzhuang, and the "green qi" of Sima Xiangru, and the Jiaowei qin that has been famous for thousands of years in later generations.

Void ...... The story of Jiaoweiqin confirms the famous saying: Maxima is common, but Bole is not.

If it weren't for the discovery of this piece of wood by Cai Yong, a famous historian and musician, the Jiaowei Qin would have been reduced to ashes burned in the firewood.

In the same way, why does it seem that the emperor's hometown will appear together? Liu Bang's pei, abundant. Liu Xiu's Nanyang, Zhu Yuanzhang's Huaiyou.

Not all the gold in the world shines at first, most of it is just that people have not found the right digging.
