Chapter 0043 - On Meritorious Deeds
The "Midnight Song" was indeed written by Jia Min. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Now, Jia Min often has an impulse. If you return to the original world in the future, you must find out those online writers who write time-traveling essays and beat them half to death one by one.
Those guys are relaxed, and with a movement of their fingers on the keyboard, they send people to another time and space, and then they are pickling girls, making money, being princes, and being emperors. All of them are very happy.
Actually, where is that. Let's not talk about how it is, just that loneliness is unbearable.
There is no electricity, no internet, no modern means of transportation, no ......, and so on.
These are bearable. What is uncomfortable is the poverty of knowledge and the difference in values. In ancient times, Middle-earth always only paid attention to cultural governance. A bunch of bookworms only care about reading the Four Books and the Five Classics. Where does it come from, there is no emphasis on technology and numbers.
In fact, it is precisely digital and technological factors that are the decisive forces that drive civilization.
In this era, the Industrial Revolution had begun in Europe, and the British Empire had begun to colonize the whole world.
However, the Dade Dynasty is still immersed in the dream of the Heavenly Empire. Little did they know that the outside world had changed dramatically. I thought that except for myself, it was all a barbarian land.
When people bring some goods to trade, they say that they have come to pay tribute. Send a messenger and say that he has come to worship. The mentality of the Celestial Empire, which is complacent and arrogant, is undoubtedly revealed.
Last night, Jia Min was a little drunk. I was so happy that I actually gave Ping'er and Jiao Li their popular science. It is said that the earth under our feet is actually a big ball hanging in the sky, which not only rotates by itself every day, but also revolves around the sun.
So, Ping'er looked at Jia Min like a monster and persuaded him to drink less. Don't go outside to talk about these nonsense, lest others say that we are illiterate and that we are not laughing at us.
Jia Min said, what I said is true.
So Ping'er gave him popular science.
"It is said that the fourth master is also knowledgeable, and we have no knowledge. However, I have also walked through some places. That year, from Jinling to the imperial capital, it was far enough, but I didn't see that this land was round. They all walked on flat ground. ”
"Besides, if there are mountains and ditches on the earth, how can it be round? Although the slave and maid have not read any books, they have seen it. It is said that the sky is round, the sky is like a dome, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and it is obviously revolving around us, but I have never seen anyone say that it revolves around the sun. ”
"Besides, if you turn, why don't you see who you throw out, since it is hanging in the sky, why hasn't it fallen?"
The words were reasonable, well-founded, theoretical, and factual, and he was speechless to Jia Min. For a while, I even wondered if my teachers had deceived me back then.
It was in such depression that Jia Min wrote the song "Midnight Song".
came to this strange world alone, but it is quite consistent with the artistic conception in the words.
That day, Ping'er went to give a gift to the Xue family, but because she was afraid that the road would sway, she would break the wine bottle, so she took the paper bottle. In this way, he asked Xue Pan to pick up a bargain.
Jia Min's flirtatious artifact, before he could use it, he asked Xue Pan to take it and kill it first.
Now, he was taken by Baochai to Daiyu to deal with himself.
Today is the day when Jia Min stays in Yedu Ju for a month. Add vegetables in the evening. The wine is homegrown, so you can drink it as you like.
Regarding the issue of drinking, Jia Min also gave rules. Morning and noon are considered working hours, and alcohol is not allowed. found out, the first time the monthly money was deducted, and the second time, it was directly expelled.
If you are willing to drink it at night, you can drink less. However, it is not allowed to miss classes. If it is found that the study is delayed due to drinking, it will be dealt with according to the above provisions.
However, today the situation is exceptional, drink casually.
Now, there are a total of 10 people in Nodoju. Jia Min, Ping'er, Jiao Li, Nan'er, Ning'er, Fenghua, Xueyue, Liu Tieshan, Liu Cheng and Liu Tieshan's wife Wu.
"Today is the day when we stay in Nodu for a month. It's a good day, and it's worth celebrating. We have done a good job over the past month, and you have all contributed a lot, and I would like to thank you for this. ”
"Fourth master, don't say that, you are the master, and it is right to contribute to you."
Jiao Li hurriedly stood up, and then, Ping'er and the others also stood up.
This master is usually amiable, and he doesn't have a master's frame at all. But the more this happened, the more they loved him in their hearts.
"I told you that I would send you a monthly bill, and now I'm going to keep my promise. Ping'er, silver. ”
"Fourth master, you don't have to, right?"
Jiao Li said politely.
"That's what you said, then I won't post it."
Jia Min stopped and looked at everyone with a smile.
No one squeaked anymore.
In fact, they are all waiting for this day, secretly counting the day. Of course, they all hoped that Jia Min would give him money, but no one dared to ask him. If you don't send it, you have to endure it.
"Haha, scared, right? I'm kidding you. If I really don't send it, you still have to scold me in private? Ping'er, hair. However, Lao Liu, a few of you, because you are hired, there will be no more cases this month. ”
So Ping'er gave out silver, she and Jiao Li were 1 tael each, and Nan'er and the other four were 1/2 taels each. Together, it was only four taels of silver.
"In addition, I promised to give you a dividend at the end of the year, and now, I have decided to temporarily increase the dividend. So far, the two projects of selling wine and drilling wells have begun to make profits. The wine was sold for 22,000 taels of silver, and 10,000 taels were given to the house, and the wine was 10,000 taels of silver, and the well was 190 taels of silver, and the two together were 10,000 taels of silver. Draw out one percent, it is one thousand and seventy taels. ”
"Ping'er and Jiao Li are in charge, so they should have more. 200 taels per person. ”
When Jia Min said it, everyone was listening with their ears open, for fear of missing a sentence, and when they heard 200 taels, they not only gasped.
That's 200 taels. Did I hear me right? Is it true?
Even Ping'er had an unbelievable expression on her face.
Jia Min knew that they would be like this, and said in his heart: Alas, this money is like this, if I say the 78,000 taels again, I won't scare you to death?
"Nan'er, Ning'er are 130 taels per person, and Fenghua and Xueyue are 110 taels per person. Originally, there was no Lao Liu and your business here, but the three of you did a good job, and the last time those guys from the house came, you guarded the door and didn't let them in. So, give you some rewards as well. Liu Tieshan and Liu Cheng, 50 taels each, although Wu did a good job, but the time to come is short, you will be 20 taels. ”
"These, add up to 1,000 taels, where are the 70 taels? I won't give you these 70 taels, but I will save them, and I have a name, which is called the Community Chest. In the future, whoever has an illness or something, will pay from here, Ping'er will go back to get the money, and send it now, after the distribution, eat and drink, and there will be no classes tonight, so that you will have a happy day. ”
The next thing was that there was no movement. You look at me, I look at you, and then at Jia Min.
"Go get the money."
"Oh, take the silver."
Ping'er agreed, got up and left, and didn't seem to have come back.
After a while, he came back with the silver and put it on the table, but Ping'er still didn't move.
She didn't believe it was true. I've never seen anything like this, and you really want to send silver?
Jia Min had no choice but to get up by himself and give the silver one by one.
However, they were still all placed in front of the table, and no one dared to put them away.
"What's wrong? Do you want any money? I'll count to three, and if I don't put it away when the time comes, I'll get the money back." It's not that I don't give it to you, it's that you don't want it. One, two, three. ”
Before the words fell, the silver disappeared at once.
"Hahaha, I thought you didn't want it. Come, drink, get drunk today. ”
Jia Min raised his glass and raised his head to drink, and as soon as he lowered his head after drinking, all the people on the table were gone, and they were all kneeling on the ground.
"Thank you, Fourth Master."
Knock knock, nine people kowtow together.
Alas, this little favor kowtows.
"Hurry up."
Still couldn't get up, Jia Min had to go over and help them up one by one, only to see that everyone's eyes were full of tears. As soon as Jia Min was excited, a warm current rose in his heart, and his eyes were blurred.
"Alright, let's all sit back. These few dollars have moved you like this, and when you see a lot of money in the future, what can you do? ”
"Nan'er, this time you have money, when are you going to marry a wife?"
Jia Min felt that it was necessary to talk about something light-hearted.
"I'm not going to marry for now, I'll wait two years."
"That's right, a good man has ambitions in all directions, in two years, I'll help you marry a young lady."
"Fourth master, then I don't dare to think about it."
"It's not promising, did you think there would be more than a hundred taels of silver before? Not now. Work hard, and you'll earn more money in the future. ”
"I'm going to follow the fourth master in my life."
"It's good if Nan'er is determined, I will give you a good future."
When the money was in hand, the atmosphere became lively, so they toasted Jia Min one after another.
"Wu, alas, it's really awkward to call it like that, I'll give you a name."
"That's thank you so much, Fourth Master."
Liu Tieshan and Wu knelt down and kowtowed again.
In this era, many women from small families did not have names. When you are at home, you can call your nickname, and after you become a monk, you can add your father's surname to call so-and-so, or you can add your husband's surname, for example, Wu's husband's surname is Liu, you can call her Wu Liu.
This is a manifestation of the inferiority of men and the inferior status of women.
"From now on, you will be called Wu Hongmei."
Kneel down and kowtow again.
Wu Hongmei's kowtow is completely from the bottom of her heart.
Ever since he and her husband Leteshan arrived here, they have been working diligently. In the past, their annual income was not easy to be 30 taels of silver, but now, in just one month, there are more than 70 taels, and the reward is more than ten times more than the salary.
stopped those people last time, they didn't expect anything in return, just because Jia Min had explained, so they did so, I really didn't expect that the fourth master would give so many rewards.
This fourth master is worth dying for him.
