Chapter 4: The First Pot of Gold
In the previous life, helping the grandmother cross the road was a high-consumption behavior, which was by no means consumed by ordinary people, but it was naturally not a problem for Zhao Hao...... No matter how awesome the grandmother is, I'm afraid she won't have the courage to slander the children of the Song clan.
But several house slaves obviously didn't understand what Zhao Hao meant, because at this time, the title of grandma was generally addressed to the hostess in the house, such as Xie Yun was honored as the eldest grandmother.
Zhao Hao quickly reacted: "Quickly help that old woman cross the street." ”
So Liang Lie, who was fat like a ball, and Li Hong, who was thin like a monkey, and the two henchmen and house slaves immediately ran like flying, and pounced on the old woman who was trembling across the street like a hungry wolf.
At the moment when the two of them were about to approach the old woman, the old grandmother, who was originally unable to move, suddenly screamed, and then, as if with divine help, her waist was no longer sore, her legs were no longer painful, and she ran away in one breath, and in a blink of an eye, she crossed the wide street and ran to the opposite side, without any effort. At that speed, I'm afraid I'm about to catch up with Liu Xiang......
When people are frightened, they can often burst out with their incomparable potential...... Zhao Hao's first plan to earn merit points came to naught.
In an instant, Zhao Hao's heart was like a dog in the sun, he was so angry that he was scolding the two house slaves: "This son saw that the old man was unable to move, and asked you to wait to do good deeds and help him cross the street. Next time, you must remember to be kind, light-handed, smiling, and showing six teeth, and there must be no mistakes. ”
The two house slaves were dumbfounded when they heard this, and it took a long time to understand, and they nodded yes busily.
God knows, this unruly son, who has always bullied and dominated the market, suddenly launched a kind heart and wanted to do good deeds. However, although everyone was surprised, they didn't have too many suspicions, Zhao Gongzi escaped death this time, and it was reasonable for him to want to do good deeds.
Next, Zhao Hao and his entourage wandered on the street for half an hour, and they never saw anything that could be done for good.
First, Jiangning City is one of the richest places in the Great Song Dynasty, and it is also the prosperous commercial center of Jiangnan East Road. Second, Zhao Gongzi has always had a bad reputation, although he doesn't say that he does all kinds of evil, but bullying men and women also happens from time to time, and most people avoid it.
In this way, there are naturally many fewer opportunities to do good.
After going around a few times, Zhao Ling, who has always been taciturn, finally couldn't help it, and said: "If the son wants to do a good deed, if he goes to Dongtou Market, there are many people who are so poor that they sell their heads. ”
This nursing general, who has the same name as the famous historical general, has a cold style at first, as if the Zhao Mansion has not paid him a salary for three months, and has followed Zhao Hao out for more than an hour, this is the second sentence.
Zhao Hao was overjoyed, and said hurriedly: "Okay, just follow your words, and go to Dongtou City quickly." ”
At this time, it is almost noon, and it is the most lively time in the market, with people coming and going, bustling.
The so-called market is actually a farmer's market in the Great Song Dynasty, which sells meat, tea, rouge, fruits, and various department stores.
In a vacant lot in the western corner of the market, which was specially reserved for those who wanted to sell themselves into slavery, Zhao Hao met the first real poor people of this era, and they were also his "customers" who earned merit points.
I saw a group of people with vegetable faces and ragged clothes, standing or sitting in the open space one by one. Men, women, the elderly, and children, all of them.
Although it is the beginning of spring at this time, and the spring in the south of the Yangtze River is much warmer than in the north, the spring is cold and the weather is still very cold. Most of these refugees are thinly clothed, and a breeze that blows can make them tremble. Most of the men were old men who were like candles in the wind, and there was a boy or a girl squatting or standing beside them, and the boys and girls were all in the dark, as if they had rolled in the coal pile. The same was true of the women, with a few children standing next to them. In addition to children, there are also older girls and young guys, all with the same expression, full of sadness and indifference. Most of them have grass on the back of their necks, including dog tail grass, donkey tail grass, and some unknown weeds.
The whole clearing was bustling with people, at least hundreds, and forty or fifty people waiting to be sold.
Zhao Hao, who had just come out of the luxurious Zhao Mansion, was obviously stunned by the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but ask: "Why are there so many people who sell themselves into slavery in the rich land of Jiangnan?" ”
Zhao Ling, who has never been able to get a fart for three days, actually took the lead at this moment: "It's not the ...... of Huashi Gang"
Zhao Hao instantly understood.
Huashigang is the name of a special transportation traffic in Chinese history that specializes in transporting exotic flowers and stones to meet the emperor's preferences. In the Northern Song Dynasty, "Gang" meant a transportation team, often 10 ships called a "Gang"; At that time, the command of Huashigang included Hangzhou "Creation Bureau" and Suzhou "Ying Feng Bureau", etc., and they were ordered by the emperor to loot the rare cultural relics in the southeast region. Because of the place where the Huashi fleet passed, the local people had to supply the money valley and civil servants; In some places, bridges were demolished and castles were chiseled to allow fleets to pass. Therefore, it often makes the people in Jiangnan miserable, especially the officials and soldiers who take the opportunity to extort money, and the families of those who are expropriated are often bankrupt, and some families sell their children and daughters, and flee everywhere.
The historical Jiangnan uprising was also caused by the harm of Huashigang.
Seeing Zhao Hao's warm sedan chair and the mighty team coming, the group of refugees had their eyes shining, and all of them surrounded them, as if they were going to rob, but they ran three or four steps away, and all of them stopped timidly, with a pleading look in their eyes.
"Childe, noble son, buy my granddaughter, her parents are gone, as long as she is fed, she doesn't starve to death."
"Childe, buy my son, he is more solid than a dog, and he can do any job."
"Childe, my daughter is very well-behaved, you can't be wrong to buy it as your maid, as long as it is consistent with money."
……
The men, women, and old men timidly sold their children, their eyes full of begging and hope.
Damn, this world is so miserable......
However, for the sake of merit, Zhao Hao put a lot of effort into it in advance. Before coming to the market, he had two steamed bun shops raided - paid for them, of course, and then sent three or four big bags over.
"Hugh is crowded, don't panic, our son is very kind today, there are hot buns, everyone has a share, fill your stomach first."
Seeing that Zhao Hao was surrounded by that group of refugees, Liang Lie, a fat slave, hurriedly lifted a large bag of buns high, and the bag was still steaming, revealing buns as white as jade.
In an instant, Zhao Hao heard a series of low, up-and-down, creepy voices, which were tragic saliva swallowing sounds from his throat, which made Zhao Hao feel very uncomfortable.
Although he was just a dick in his previous life, he was not without hunger, but he had never seen anyone have such an oozing voice, an oozing expression, and an oozing eyes when he saw food......
Hulala~
More than 100 men, women, and children gathered around, like a pack of hungry wolves, the fragrance of the hot buns almost made them lose their minds, in their eyes, in their world, there were only white buns, and nothing else existed.
"Wait, death to those who act recklessly!"
Suddenly, a loud thunderous sound exploded from the sky, causing everyone's eardrums to buzz, and the refugees who rushed here stopped abruptly, looked at this side in horror, gradually quieted down, and showed timid expressions.
I saw Zhao Ling holding a long sword in his hand, standing majestically between Zhao Hao and the refugees, like an iron tower, his whole body exuded an invisible murderous aura, and the blade in his hand flashed with a cold light, which was daunting.
"Line up, come one by one, all have a share, indispensable, those who dare to cut in line, sprinkle their legs on the spot!" Zhao Ling's voice was so cold that it was full of terrifying aura, coupled with his cold expression and the cold sword in his hand, it completely shocked this group of refugees who were crazy about food.
Zhao Hao raised his eyes and saw more than 100 people rushing indiscriminately, many children who ran slowly were squeezed to the ground, some people had been stepped on several times, crying in Wow Wow, if it weren't for Zhao Ling's drinking, it was inevitable that someone would be trampled on or even trampled to death.
In an instant, Zhao Hao was full of respect for the man who looked cold.
The refugees were stunned for a moment, and then slowly lined up timidly, and the children who fell to the ground were also helped up, and Zhao Hao sighed softly in his heart.
The hot buns, three adults and two children, each have a portion, and they will be distributed in a short time.
Some people gobbled up most of the buns in one bite and choked and coughed, and some people were reluctant to eat a little bit of bite and chew a little bit...... At this moment, the attention of all the refugees is focused on the steamed buns, and nothing else can affect their minds.
Zhao Hao only felt a little stuffy in his heart, but what made him happy was that the merit value had finally risen.
Three hundred buns temporarily solved the stomach problems of more than 100 people, increased by 515 merit points and prestige value, the total merit value was 615, and the prestige value was also 615.
This is also the first pot of gold that Zhao Hao earned - the first merit value.
Summing it up, inviting a hungry refugee to a full meal can increase merit and reputation by 5 points.
"Exchange the Prajna Heart Sutra and consume 500 merit points."
"If you successfully cultivate the Prajna Heart Sutra, the host's health value will increase by 1, and the time until the next increase in health value is 9 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds."
Zhao Hao only felt a warm current surging in his five organs and six lungs, and then slowly disappeared, the feeling was indescribably comfortable, but the time was too short......
After two sticks of incense, those refugees finally filled their stomachs, and their faces gradually became a little bloody, and their eyes were full of gratitude when they looked at Zhao Hao, and many people bowed to Zhao Hao.
"Every family is lined up, no mistakes must be made, and our son will be rewarded."
As the voice of the fat slave Liang Lie sounded, the refugees who had filled their stomachs were obviously much more qualified than just now, and soon dragged their children and daughters, and the boundaries were clearly divided, and there were forty-one households.
Zhao Hao nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand at Liang Lie.
Liang Lie understood, and shouted loudly and openly in a tone like selling dog skin plasters: "Fellow villagers, congratulations to everyone, today our Zhao Gongzi is very kind, and each household will be rewarded twice, but those who get the reward must return to their hometowns, and they must not sell themselves in Jiangning City again, otherwise the reward will be withdrawn." ”
Two pieces of money is not much, but it is enough to buy two stones of white rice, as long as you eat it leisurely, and with wild vegetables, it is enough to support the autumn harvest.
After Liang Lie finished speaking, the audience fell silent, and the refugees fell into a deathly stunned state.
After a long time, there was a burst of cheers of surprise from the crowd, and I don't know who led it, and the refugees fell to their knees one after another.
"Thank you for your kindness."
The choked voice from the bottom of his heart was so heartstrings for a person who had traveled through the afterlife.
Looking at the men, women, and children kneeling on the ground, and the faces of those who were grateful from the bottom of their hearts, Zhao Hao suddenly felt that in fact, even if he couldn't increase his merit value, it was worth the trip.
"Wait!"
Just when Zhao Hao calmed down a little, and was about to ask Zhao Ling and the others to untie the money bag and distribute the reward money, suddenly there was a break from the side.
