Chapter 44: Jiang Yin's Awakening
An ordinary person, suddenly gained an extremely powerful force, I am afraid that he will not use it easily at first, because the ordinary past will have a kind of inertia, and this inertia will make that person have a little resistance to the extraordinary, even if the person himself is not aware of it.
Jiang Yin is exactly such a person.
After obtaining the Ancient Strange Stone, even though Jiang Yin had figured out the many unimaginable abilities that this stone gave him, he still did not enthusiastically use these abilities, but was a little cringe, his ideals were still the same as his past self, imagining that he could live an ordinary and happy life.
So he didn't do it by reselling antiques, and was willing to buy and sell medicinal materials; So he made some money and thought about helping others; That's why he doesn't want to use his abilities too much to do more challenging things.
It's not that he doesn't want it, but in the face of this sudden wealth, it is a little difficult for him, a teenager who has been ordinary for 18 years, to accept it from the bottom of his heart, and he is not suitable for standing from ordinary to the highest point all of a sudden, this is an instinct of human self-protection, and it has nothing to do with IQ and EQ.
However, when he gradually stepped out of the category of ordinary people and came into contact with more and more levels, his knowledge became wider and wider, and his ambition became bigger and bigger, especially after contacting the old Taoist priest Chen Tuan of the Song Dynasty, Chen Tuan accidentally mentioned to Jiang Yin in the Taoist temple: he used the Bagua Kun Migration Map to calculate that there are strange stars in the sky, which is a stone embellishment on the ancient artifact 'Kunlun Mirror', Jiang Yin awakened from the young man with fear and confusion in his heart at the beginning, and awakened to become a new careerist with the world in mind.
Since it is an ancient artifact in China, then everything is easily solved, in the ancient books, the 'Kunlun Mirror' has always been a divine object that can travel through time and space, and the stone embellishments on it naturally have this effect, Jiang Yin's heart broke through the shackles, and his whimsical thoughts also poured into his mind.
Mining is one of the ideas in his mind
Kaibao is nine years, the fourth day of September.
When the morning light was still flashing on the city's face, and the bell tower was slowly ringing, there was also the sound of iron signs beating in the alley.
Walkers and heads from the monastery, holding iron signs in one hand and tapping with utensils in the other, shouted Buddhist phrases such as "Pudu sentient beings save the suffering Buddhas and Bodhisattvas" along the door, and at the same time, with the voice of chanting Buddha that they have practiced every day, loudly reported the present hour to the depths of the workshop
In the Song Dynasty, this was also a unique custom of announcing the dawn.
At first, the original intention of reporting dawn was to teach people to save sleep and not lose time in reciting the Buddha when they got up. In this way, the walkers and the heads of the gods can come to the door during the day or the month and during the festival to ask for the corresponding reward: the donor will give them the food and money. Because of the nature of awakening obsession with the walker and the head, coupled with the accuracy of their daily adherence to the time, after a long time, the walker and the head have become the announcer of the profession.
The announcer of this profession even walked from central cities such as Bianjing and Lin'an to the village road, Lu Youshi is proof: "The fifth watch does not need to be reported by Yuanrong, and the piece of iron is self-sufficient." The difference is that the announcer in the big city also has the task of reporting the weather of the day to the citizens, and the sunny report is "clear" and the cloudy is "cloudy"
With the sound of the dawn of the heads, coupled with the dawn bells on the four corner towers in the southeast, northwest and northwest, the Bianjing City of the Great Song Dynasty has regained its vitality and gradually changed into a full voice.
When the big-character signboard scrubbed by the head shop was gilded by the rising sun, when the dyeing shop put a new flower cloth on the counter and was dyed red by the rising sun, when the Taiping wheel of pulling goods was shining rapidly by the rising sun, when the rising sun walked into the paper mill to smear a bunch of luster on the gold paper and silver paper, when the rising sun began to patrol the colorful fruit row, when the morning sun shone on the nun's embroidery rose a piece of warmth, hundreds of industries in the Song Dynasty city, along with the flood of citizens in the morning market, "debuted" together.
Each square city, every block, have started a new day's work, people shouting, horses' hooves, axles sound mixed together, a good 'Qingming Riverside map' of the prosperous landscape.
At this moment, in a slightly remote street in the north of the city, which seemed to be more crowded than the others, in some dark corners, stood hundreds of famous ragged and emaciated people, tied with a hemp rope and strung together with their hands, their eyes numb, like a walking corpse, these were the families of the convicts, or the cheap slaves of the sons of slaves; At the east end of the street, there were also these hundreds of people, but these people were cleaner and more energetic than those lowly slaves, and these people were all good people who had come to retire from the fields and serve servants.
This congested with nearly 1,000 people of the street is Bianjing famous 'Yaren Street', in ancient Tang Dynasty, slaves belong to the cheap industry in the legal sense, no personal freedom, but in the Song Dynasty, although there are also cheap slaves, but has begun to appear the phenomenon of hiring servants, some good people who do not want to farm, can retreat from the land to servants, they have the right to sign a pawn or employment contract in Yaren Street, during the contract period, must obey all the orders of the pawn or the employer, to the later period can redeem the free body.
'Yaren Street' is the place where the Great Song Dynasty legally bought and sold human slaves and signed the employment of servants.
At this time, Jiang Yin stood on this street, looking at the people who were densely packed together waiting to be trafficked, feeling a little sad, the prince and the prince, rather there was a kind, these people were the lowest people in the Great Song Dynasty society, and even they were no longer human, they were sold like livestock, their clothes were tattered, some of the thin women were directly bare-chested, many people were dirty and black, and there were small parasites crawling around from time to time, and the only thing they had left was that little bit of residual labor
Walking through the Yaren Street, Jiang Yin's brocade robe immediately attracted those tooth people who traded slaves, and they came forward to introduce their slaves.
"Childe~ Are you still short of maids~ Look at these people in my family, although they have lost some weight, their faces are excellent"
"Childe, the servant of my family can be a cattle envoy, look at it, as long as ten yuan"
"Childe, this maid in my family is not only literate but also can give, as long as twenty times"
Faintly looking at these people excitedly advertising, Jiang Yin finally waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and soon, the noisy voices all stopped.
"I have bought all the slaves sold here today, not only the slaves here, but you should inform the good people and servants over there, and I want all those who are sold into slavery today." After Jiang Yin finished speaking, he didn't care about everyone's reactions in a daze, but said directly to Lin Yue next to him: "Brother Lin, all the recruitment matters in the back will be handed over to you." ”
"Well, okay, Jiang Shao, you can rest assured." Lin Yue nodded, then took a few steps back, and shouted at the many tooth traders: "If you want to sell slaves, come to my transaction quickly, the money is ready on the cart on the street!" Pay the money with one hand, and hand over the person! ”
