Chapter 222: The Human Heart
The Fang Market in Guanlou Village is still under construction in full swing, but the Niuma Market to which it belongs has recently become a hot mess.
When Wen set sail and walked into Niuma Market, he was shocked by the hot atmosphere of the scene.
Rows of wide carriages stopped at the upwind of the cattle and horse market, and from time to time there were nobles sticking out of the windows to talk to the nobles of the carriage next door. Or the curtain of the car is wide open, and a small table is placed inside, inviting three or five friends to have a drink, and the sound of excited laughter will sound from time to time.
Herds of servants were busy bringing their newly purchased cattle into the pen.
Occasionally, some farmers, with excitement and apprehension, introduced their only cattle to the nobles. Then, under the contemptuous gaze of the nobles, he trembled and took the bill of exchange issued by the money bank from the hands of the servants, carefully put it away, and planned to rush to the money bank immediately and cash the money order in his hand.
Only burying real money and copper coins in their own pits will make them feel a sense of reality.
Although the current cattle and horse market is very hot, if Ping Sihai sees the real situation at the scene, he will definitely be thunderous.
This so-called bull and horse market is now just an empty land. Every ten meters, a wooden stake is driven into the ground, connected by three ropes in the upper, middle and lower, and encloses a barren beach with a radius of about 100 acres, and then divides countless small lattices with white lime, as long as there are cattle and horses to trade, you can get such a small lattice as a temporary storage place for cattle and horses.
In such a humble place, thousands of large transactions are happening all the time, which shows that people's desire for money really knows what era.
"What do you think, sir?" Zheng Zhutou briefly introduced the situation in Niuma City.
"Very good." Wen Qihang nodded with satisfaction, and then suggested: "But that little grid, you should also charge a venue fee, at least a consistent rental fee every day." ”
"........" Zheng Zhutou was speechless, he thought he had done well enough, but this damn Wen Qihang just glanced at it, and immediately opened up a new way to make a living.
"Thousands of deals, who of those nobles will care about a few dollars in rewards." Wen Qihang said with a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth.
In fact, the market has developed to this stage, it is almost the same as gambling iBo, today I sell to you, tomorrow you sell to me, it has become a zero-sum game, except for the dealer and a very small number of people, I am afraid that most people have begun to lose money every day.
Not to mention, the daily need for forage and manpower to raise these cattle is a lot of money.
"What you said is sir, tomorrow I will tell them to start collecting." For ideas that can make money, Zheng Zhutou will definitely not reject them, that is, he agreed.
"Sir, I just said it casually, don't take it too seriously." Wen Qihang smiled: "They are unkind, we can't be unjust, since we didn't collect it at the beginning, then forget it." Otherwise, it would be bad if there was a conflict for no reason. ”
"Ahh Zheng Zhutou grinned. Sometimes I really can't understand the idea of smelling sailing, and a good idea casually can at least be more than three or five hundred yuan a day. But in the blink of an eye, such a good way to make money was immediately overturned by him.
"For such a large-scale gathering of cattle and horses, we must pay attention to the epidemic, do not be stingy with quicklime, spray frequently, and remove cow dung and the like in time to maintain hygiene. Let those pranky assistant managers make frequent inspections, and they are not allowed to drink raw water directly from the ditch, but must drink boiling water, which is a hard condition, and there is no need to negotiate, otherwise they will be driven out. No matter who is involved or what goes wrong, there is a lord and I will take the top. Wen Qihang explained carefully, and then planned to leave here. There is really nothing to look at, the fate of this group of people in the future is already doomed, don't look at their laughter now, there will be a time for them to cry in the future.
When passing by Xiya's place, Zheng Zhutou also smiled and said, "Look, sir, Xiya's girl is still looking at you?" Are you really not going to take her? ”
Wen Qihang couldn't help but glance at it, and saw that Xiya was pouting a little aggrieved, and was looking at her side, so she quickly turned around and reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense, sir, am I that kind of person!" Besides, I haven't already taken in a personal maid! ”
Seeing that he was unmoved, Zheng Zhutou sighed helplessly in his heart. Now Wen Qihang has already performed the crown salute, according to the ancient concept, he has already reached the age of getting married, even if there is His Majesty's will, but if he accepts a maid in the room, even His Majesty will not say anything. Even if a descendant is born, it is just a concubine, and it will not threaten the status of the future housemother and her children.
But if the future mother is unable to have children, or dies early, the concubine can also inherit the family business.
After all, the rate of child mortality in ancient times was too high. Five out of ten children can live to adulthood, and this is already the result of the blessing of the Buddha.
In particular, almost half of the first births of women are due to difficult births, and both mother and child die. This is why polygamy was sometimes practiced in ancient times, not for enjoyment, but purely for the sake of succession.
Now this damn Wen Qihang, he has no intention of staying in the future, other people's aristocratic young masters, at the age of Wen Qihang, have already begun to look for flowers and willows, and the children have given birth to a dozen. It was hard to go to the Qinglou once, and Zheng Zhutou was the first time he saw it, just to stay and eat.
Zheng Zhutou is sometimes really worried, there is no problem in his generation, but who does the next generation depend on to live.
No matter whether Zheng Zhu's hair is worried or not, this will not affect Wen Qihang's thoughts. I'm afraid he will never know what kind of precautions Wen Qihang, a person in later generations, has for people's hearts.
As a later generation, in that era of the supremacy of money, Wen Qihang has long been accustomed to all kinds of betrayal and deception, they can do everything to take advantage of your kindness, take advantage of your friendship, take advantage of all your shortcomings and advantages, just to be able to deceive them what they want.
This is why Wen Qihang is reluctant to recruit servants at will. It is this influence of later generations that makes Wen Qihang subconsciously guard against everyone.
There is a good saying that the most terrifying thing in this world is not the enemy, but the teammates, especially the teammates with ill intentions.
Especially now there is a perverted general existence of Xianmen, who is eyeing from the sidelines, who knows that person is reliable, and that person is ill-intentioned.
Throughout the ages, there have been countless heroes who have died under the skirt of a beautiful pomegranate, otherwise how could there be a saying that heroes are sad about the beauty pass.
didn't understand Wen Qihang's worries, Zheng Zhutou was naturally a little dissatisfied with Wen Qihang's lack of approaching women.
"Sir, that little lady, she ......" Zheng Zhutou paused, and said carefully: "If you marry her as a concubine, it is estimated that the Four Seas Dart Company will not agree." What's more, it's just a roommate, so you might as well choose a more reliable one.
Recently, there have been many families in the village, and they have asked me about when will our lord's mansion start recruiting maids and servants?
If there is one of them that you are satisfied with, it doesn't hurt to take one. After all, the stone is getting busier and busier now, and I don't have much time to take care of you! ”
Wen Qihang smiled helplessly and said: "Is it that there are no subordinates in the Jue Mansion, and you all look a little unorthodox?" ”
"That's not it, but there are guests here, and there is not even a maid servant who serves tea and water, isn't our Jue Mansion also very faceless!" Zheng Zhutou knocked on the side.
"Sir, when did I care about face?" Smelling Qihang pouted.
Zheng Zhutou persuaded: "Of course I understand the temperament of the lord, Lao Zheng, but you have to cook by yourself if you are too tired, it will not be good." Besides, our lord's mansion is not short of those few people who buy money for maids and servants. ”
Seeing Zheng Zhutou's persuasion, Wen Qihang wondered: "Lao Zheng, are you short of manpower?" If there is a shortage of manpower, we will recruit them. ”
"........" is really not speculative for more than half a sentence, I lack a fart manpower, don't I know how to recruit if I lack manpower? It's not like I'm worried that I didn't warm your bed and fold the quilt!
Do you want to expect that Li Tang's Zhou sisters to inherit the dynasty for the Juefu, a fool can see that it is a bubble.
