Chapter 9 ingots

"Grandpa the village chief, I'm Ma Yang, a distant relative of the uncle. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info I just arrived today and there was an explosion, but fortunately my uncle came to pick me up, I couldn't find the way, and there was an explosion, but fortunately we were far away. Wan Qiyang preemptively said the reason, only if he took the initiative could the initiative be in his own hands.

"yes, yes, if I hadn't picked up my nephew at the time, maybe I'd be an explosion ghost by now. It was so scary that I didn't know what was going on, but there was a loud bang, and then there was a powerful impact, which was stronger than the strong wind, and all the clothes on the body were gone, and the people flew far away, and finally there was an explosion, and then it was dark, and we took the opportunity to run out of the city. You don't know, village chief, there is blood all over the world, and there are broken legs and hands everywhere. It's like going to hell, that one is miserable! Village Chief, I don't think I'll be able to move around for the time being, and I really can't tell what caused the tragedy. ”

"Ah, so miserable! It's really not the time to move around, alas, I don't know how many people have been displaced, by the way, we have to stop some displaced people from entering the village, I have heard that people in other villages have been robbed. Well, I won't bother, yell when something happens, and everyone will take care of it! The village chief left after a while, and at the same time told everyone to pay attention to safety for the time being, and when he left, he pulled Uncle Ma aside and gave a few orders.

After the village chief left, Uncle Ma came over and sat down again to chat with me.

"Yangzai, when the village chief left just now, he told me not to move around for the time being, the other two villages are competing with each other again, and every time someone comes to come up, and the summer grain is collected from above, and a grain must be pushed to grow. Alas, this grain is not easy to do, and the more chaotic it is, the more likely it is to be ripped off from above. "Uncle Ma is very helpless, every time he gets to these times, he has a headache.

"Uncle Ma, you said that your place has started to collect summer grain? Isn't it time for the harvest yet? Wan Qiyang never knew about such a thing, of course, this kind of thing in history is too small to be worth mentioning.

"That's right, which year is not collected in advance, now the government is more chaotic, this tax is levied more and more in advance, and our Majiapu is more important collection point, in normal times, it is good to say, food is not enough can be exchanged in the city, now this situation is so chaotic, where is there still anyone doing business!" Uncle Ma is having a headache about this, "In other places, especially in other state capitals, the collection of grain, due to the location is too far and the transportation is inconvenient, part of it can be exchanged for silver taels according to the price of grain at that time, but at this time, the grain merchants are recovering the grain at a very low price, and the grain farmers do not sell what they have, but the grain chief must ensure that the summer grain is collected on time and then handed over to the government for acceptance." Therefore, it is very difficult to do this grain chief, and this year everyone has begun to share it again, and each household is counted according to the number of people in the household. We are very close to the capital, and we can only accept it according to the grain, and we cannot use silver to pay for the grain, unless it is a major natural disaster. ”

Wan Qiyang can't help everyone at this time, after all, he has only come to the Ming Dynasty for a day, and there are many, many rules that are not clear. The only thing he can do now is to watch and listen more, Wan Qiyang is still silent at the moment, and he can't give Uncle Ma any valuable advice at all.

"By the way, Uncle Ma, how long has grandma been sick?" Wan Qiyang also didn't know the etiquette and rules of the Ming Dynasty, whether he could go into the back room to visit the elderly, so he had to ask first to show the concern of the younger generation for the elders.

Because Wan Qiyang learned in history that during the founding period of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang worked hard to formulate some rules and regulations, and even involved all aspects, first of all, he abolished the prime minister system and limited the power of ministers, but the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty was more authoritarian than any previous prime minister; Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that the common people were not allowed to move around, but in the middle and late periods, it became a common practice for the people to wander around, without the slightest restraint; He also issued edicts to inhibit the development of commerce, and stipulated that merchants were not allowed to wear expensive clothing such as silk yarn, but large-scale industrial and commercial development began in the Ming Dynasty, and those merchants who should have been at the bottom of the society wore gold and silver, and even entered the house to do business for officials; Zhu Yuanzhang strictly ordered the eunuchs not to interfere in politics, but the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty were all in power (this is related to his abolition of the relative power); Zhu Yuanzhang prepared titles and fortunes for all his descendants, but more than a hundred years later, many of his descendants were in the middle of the road and destitute.

Therefore, many rules in the early Ming Dynasty had to disappear in the middle and late periods, and no one even took Taizu Chengfa seriously, and even some of the current emperors did not think so.

Hearing that Wan Qiyang asked about his old mother, he was also a little moved, "My mother is also stubbornly ill, and I blame me, my mother has been sick for a while, and she is unwilling to say it to worry us all, so she has been ill for a long time." I found a doctor to see it, and said that it was thirst quenching, and my mother loved to drink water, but now her eyes are a little difficult to see. ”

Wan Qiyang understood as soon as he heard it, isn't this the 'diabetes' in the future? This disease is not easy to treat, and it can only be slowly boiled in this era.

"Oh, that's only a slow healing, Uncle Ma, I still have some money here because I sold my family's land, you are in charge, the main thing is that I want to separate it. Some you take it to fill the household, and the other one goes to your grandmother's doctor. Wan Qiyang took out the ingots of twenty taels from his bag at this time.

Looking at the ingots that Wan Qiyang took out, Uncle Ma's eyes widened, because in this era, such a big ingots can be taken out by businessmen who do big business, and the amount of transactions is relatively large.

"Yang Zai, this can't be helped, this is all your net worth!" Uncle Ma immediately hurriedly pushed out, "Put it away, don't show your wealth in the future, the world is in chaos today." ”

"Uncle Ma, listen to me, you go and find a way to make this money into zero, and then use it however you want, the money is used to spend, and I have a way to get the money. It's just that I'm not familiar with life now, and I'll figure out a way when I get acquainted. Believe me, I need a little more time to get used to it now. Wan Qiyang put the ingots in his hand in Uncle Ma's hand and held it down.

Such a wish has been decided, Uncle Ma had no choice but to accept it, opened his mouth to say something but did not say anything in the end, "Uncle Ma, believe me!" ”

Just when Wan Qiyang took the ingots out, he also found a problem, the surface of the ingots felt very new, and it was not as black and gray as when he began to find the silver ingots in the bag, which should have been oxidized for a long time. Wan Qiyang remembered that the surroundings that should have been struck by lightning should be strong static electricity, and the surface of it returned to its original state.
