Chapter 6 The status of feudal society
When all the things were transported back to the city, it was getting late, just in time to close the city gate, and all of them were transported to Sun Simiao's small courtyard. Put a good small courtyard, piled up to the brim, that night, Wei Yan was in a good mood, personally cooked, renovated a delicious vegetarian meal, and ate so much that even people like Sun Simiao who don't have a heavy appetite are full of praise.
When he was resting at night, Wei Yan said to Xie Jiu happily: "Guess what I turned out of the truck?" ”
Xie Jiu glanced at him lightly, seeing his happy expression, a trace of warmth flowed from his indifferent eyes, and he shook his head to indicate that he didn't know. The Wei Yan child said proudly: "Seeds! Corn seeds, cabbage seeds, tomato seeds, and a bag of seeds I don't know what they are, even if we don't open a medical center, even if we grow vegetables and become farmers, we will never starve to death. ”
Xie Jiu showed a rare smile, looked at Wei Yan with beautiful eyes, and asked, "Is the restaurant still open?" ”
"How?"
Wei Yan got up from the bed and looked at Xie Jiu. Xie Jiu said: "In ancient times, the social status of Shinong was a businessman, and the doctor was a third worker, and the social status of the merchant was low, although he was rich, he was mostly looked down upon. If you only plan to be a rich man and live a stable life in the future, then restaurants, hospitals, and any business can be done with you, as long as you pay attention not to be too eye-catching and coveted. If you have other ambitions, it is better not to do it, concentrate on opening a medical clinic, and there may be a chance to turn around in the future. ”
"Yes, the social status of the merchant is not high, if you don't remind me, I will forget it. You can't survive without money, of course, making money is the fastest for businessmen, and it's really a feudal society! ”
Wei Yan scratched his head and sighed. After coming down from the mountain, he let go of his mind and was no longer bound by the relationship with Xie Jiu's subordinates, of course, he was not immediately complacent to the point where he thought Xie Jiu was willing to commit to him, and now, Xie Jiu regarded him as a friend at most, so Wei Jiu also used the usual way of getting along with friends to get along with Xie Jiu relaxedly. At most, the trust between the two is much deeper than that of ordinary friends.
After thinking for a while, Wei Yan had a serious face and asked Xie Jiu: "Have you studied politics or economics?" ”
Xie Jiu shook his head, and Wei Yan continued: "Let's first count the historical celebrities in the early Tang Dynasty, the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, not to mention the military generals, we are both weak scholars who are powerless, and it is estimated that it will not be our turn to fight the people of the whole country, at most we will go to logistics to be a military doctor, and the military life is too hard, so we ignore it." In terms of Wenchen, the famous Fang Mou Du Xuan, Du Ruhui is dead, Fang Xuanling is still there, the eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng, Zhang Gongjin, Tang Jian, etc., one is more famous than the other, and one is more insidious than the other, you say, if we two enter the office, can the bones be left? ”
"Hard to say! The political struggles in ancient times were more cruel than in modern times, and they often destroyed families and exterminated peoples. ”
"You're good, you've been a vice president, and you have a little experience as a bureaucrat, so I'm miserable, I entered the hospital as soon as I graduated from college, and I just learned a little about human feelings. Why don't you wait for me to be promoted to director and then wear it, maybe I'll have a little intrigue experience by then. ”
Wei Yan's last YY made Xie Jiu laugh, but the smile was only slightly revealed, and he continued to say with a straight face: "I can become the vice president, mostly because of the merits of the family, in terms of intrigue, I may not be as good as you, and even, I don't know as much as you about the world." ”
On the first night of traveling to the Tang Dynasty, that is, the first night of staying in the car on the mountain, Xie Jiu and Wei Yan had explained their life experiences to each other, and they also had a certain understanding of Xie Jiu's family history.
The Xie family is a big family in Y Province, there are many high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen in the clan, three generations in a row, and the children born are all men, until Xie Jiu's generation, there is such a baby daughter as her. Fortunately, Xie Jiu's family education is strict, and he has not developed a pampered and willful personality because he is favored.
The Xie family has ordered a family affair for Xie Jiu since he was a child, the man is the only son of a military tycoon, and his character is not bad among many gentlemen, but Xie Jiu just doesn't look down on him, he would rather be alone for a lifetime than get married, and finally simply go to a small town like M County to be a vice president. The Xie family loved her like her life, and didn't want her to be wronged, but it was not easy to refuse the man, so they went with her with one eye open and one eye closed.
The two discussed for a long time, and the conclusion was that the personalities of the two people were not suitable for political struggles and intrigue life, or it was more suitable to work hard to earn a better reputation and social status with medical skills, and then make a fortune quietly, be a stable rich man, and strive to improve the quality of life in the Tang Dynasty.
The two discussed their future actions and plans again, and decided that Wei Yan would come forward and climb the big tree of Sun Simiao, but he was the de facto royal family doctor surnamed Li, and it was more promising to be a doctor.
"By the way, we sold a set of Wuliangye for so much money, and when the medical center opens in the future, those salt water bottles are also glass, how to explain it?"
Xie Jiu raised an important question. Glass is so valuable, they even have a bottle of medicine, isn't that telling others to come and steal it quickly? Well, that's a serious question.
Wei Yan grabbed his head and thought for a long time, and said: "You said this, I just found a lot of things, such as fully sealed disposable syringes, glass saline bottles and some packaging cartons, plastic bags, glass medicine bottles, etc., these should be considered treasures in ancient times, right?" ”
"Hmm. These things can only be given to us and cannot be handed over to others. ”
"Well, that's right, if you can take medicine, you can use medicine, hanging water can still be exempted, you can't avoid it, sew a few cloth bags, package it, don't take the initiative to show it, and then even deceive and bluff, you can fool one is one, in short, don't let others move, after using it, let's deal with it ourselves." I want to think about how to make money from these glass bottles without making Cui Jie think that we are cheating him out of money. ”
"Well, the main thing is that we have exchanged so many things with Wuliangye, and if we don't want to offend people, we have to deal with the salt water bottle."
After discussing a series of questions, the two lay side by side on the bed, Wei Yan rubbed his waist in pain, and muttered: "Damn Chu Tang, I haven't even made a bed yet, it's really painful to sleep on this floor, even drop that waist, a man's waist is a baby, how can you treat it so rudely!" ”
"What did you say?"
Wei Yan's voice was small, and Xie Jiu didn't hear it clearly.
"Nothing! However, my wife, in the future, there will be only the two of us in our family, even if we only live to be seventy years old, we still have decades to live. You have to smile more, you look so beautiful, smile more to be worthy of your parents. ”
Xie Damei was stunned, her face, which had softened for a while just now, instantly returned to expressionlessness, turned her back, and threw the back of her head to Wei Yan.
"What's wrong? Is this angry? ”
A certain man still didn't understand where he offended Xie Da Meiren, but people didn't pay attention to him at all, so he could only look at the beauty's long black hair and count the sleep.
