Chapter 051: Little Things Big Information
Guan Yutong disappeared again, this little fairy is always very mysterious, sometimes Cao Ziguang thinks that if she never appears again, he doesn't know where to look. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Who is she? With such a beautiful face, why do you like to use men's clothes to disguise yourself? can easily fish yourself out of the government, the background is obviously not simple. I hope it's not a princess or something, Lao Tzu has no interest in being a colt.
As the general foreman of Mingyue Tower, Cao Ziguang had nothing to do all day, and when he came to Mingyue Tower on this day, Mingyuexin sent someone to call him.
Walking alone to the Yuexin Xiaozhu in the back courtyard, the building was empty, and he didn't see the figure of Mingyuexin, Cao Ziguang casually took off a jade flute hanging on it, pretended to put it to his mouth, and blew it gently.
He didn't know anything about musical instruments, but there was a faint feminine fragrance on this jade flute, which made Cao Ziguang smile intoxicated.
The shelf for hanging the jade flute is wooden, with silver edges on it, divided into two shelves on the left and right, leaning against the wall, the above is full of dazzling, collecting so many flutes, which shows Mingyuexin's love for the flute, I don't know if Lao Tzu's Xiaohu Meizi is interested in collecting, Cao Ziguang smiled, and wanted to hang the jade flute back.
At this moment, the shelf "squeaked" to both sides, and a secret door was opened, and Mingyuexin walked out of it.
Sizzle! There is a secret passage in this Mingyue Tower? The water is getting deeper and deeper, and Cao Ziguang is becoming more and more curious.
Mingyuexin's dress today made Cao Ziguang's eyes shine again, she was still wearing a summer cheongsam, with a straight chest, a fox fur on the outside, with fluffy lapels, and a pair of brown boots under her feet.
"Sister Xin, is there still a secret room in this Mingyue Tower?"
After Mingyuexin walked out, the door of the secret room closed automatically, her red lips smiled faintly, and said, "What's so strange about this?" Mingyue Tower is standing in the rivers and lakes, so it is natural to make some necessary precautions. ”
Cao Ziguang nodded silently, since this Mingyue Building is a chain brothel, it can be regarded as an organization, and it is normal to have some shady things. Especially the owner behind it, I have never heard anyone in the building mention it.
"I heard that you encountered Feng Tianfeng?" When Mingyue mentioned this flower thief, she didn't have the same disgust as other women, but was very relaxed and casual.
"Yes, I was beaten by him." Cao Ziguang said depressedly.
Mingyue smiled in her heart: "You little villain, it's good to be taught a lesson." ”
"Sister Xin, what are you looking for me for? It's not going to make me do something boring again, is it? Cao Ziguang sat on Mingyuexin's brocade seat, supported his hands behind his back, and said absentmindedly.
Mingyue said in her heart: "It's nothing, Uncle Wang, who is responsible for delivering food to the building, has not been here for a few days, and I don't know what is going on, I want you to take a look." ”
"Does a food delivery person need me to visit too?" Cao Ziguang's face was full of displeasure, he was very dissatisfied with the last time he was deceived into going to Jinling, and now he is letting him do such a boring thing, he doesn't want to take it anymore.
"You're the chief foreman, and you should be responsible for this kind of thing." Mingyuexin expressed helplessness at Cao Ziguang's laziness, and then said with a straight face: "Uncle Wang has been delivering food to the building for many years, and Wei Pozi is worried about what difficulties his family will encounter, so he asked you to go." ”
"Are there any rewards?"
Mingyuexin looked at Cao Ziguang's squinting eyes, laughed happily, and scolded with a smile: "Little villain, there is no reward this time, are you going or not?" ”
"No, no." Cao Ziguang stood up happily, walked out lazily, walked to the door and said, "Let someone tell me the address." ”
Mingyue smiled in her heart.
In the afternoon, Cao Ziguang took a carriage out of the city, Wang Bo's family was in a village in the east of the city, and there were many people who planted vegetables in Wangjiazhuang according to Wei Pozi, but the scene Cao Ziguang saw was diametrically opposite, it is said that radishes and cabbage have already been planted after autumn, but now the fields are barren.
No matter which dynasty or generation, food is the most important strategic material, and the collapse of every dynasty in history is mostly related to the shortage of food. After a war, the population will be reduced, and there will be a cycle of great governance, and the cycle will repeat. It was not until the modern era that the food problem was completely solved.
According to Cao Ziguang's knowledge, the grain output of the Chinese Empire has been in short supply with the continuous increase of population, and it is currently relying on overseas trade to exchange porcelain and textiles for food, which is very dangerous, once the food gap reaches a level that is difficult to bridge, if other countries cut off the grain trade, the Chinese economy will collapse.
Alas! Lao Tzu is not a politician, why do you want to do so much! No matter how expensive the food is, Lao Tzu should not starve to death.
After some questioning, Cao Ziguang found Uncle Wang's house, and when he walked in, he saw an old man chopping wood in the yard, and his shriveled cheeks were full of sorrow.
"Is it Uncle Wang?"
Cao Ziguang said hello to the old man, and Uncle Wang answered, he knew Cao Ziguang, and he thought he had seen it when he went to Mingyue Tower, but Cao Ziguang didn't pay attention to him.
Sitting on the ground in the courtyard and chatting with Uncle Wang for a while, Cao Ziguang finally understood why Uncle Wang had not delivered food to Mingyue Tower for more than a month.
It is said that the landlord took back a lot of land, saying that he would build a weaving mill in the spring of next year, and this weaving workshop was invested in partnership with the Lu family and the Yue family, and the scale was not small, and he wanted to build the largest weaving mill in Suzhou.
Cao Ziguang didn't know that Yue Qingya not only participated in it, but also borrowed money from Qianzhuang for the largest weaving mill in Suzhou.
The largest weaving mill! Hehe, Lao Tzu doesn't have this kind of strength now, but it's a pity that this piece of land is good. Of course, there is no concept of cultivated land in today's world, and people choose the site of the workshop, more to see feng shui. Maybe they think the feng shui here is good, right?
Since it was no longer possible to find a vegetable supply here, Cao Ziguang got up to say goodbye, and then went around other places to find a vegetable supply again.
After running a few villages, it was getting late, Cao Ziguang finally settled on a family, the price was negotiated, the other party promised to send food to Mingyue Lou in the coming year, Cao Ziguang paid some deposit, and then took the carriage back to the city.
Bad luck, due to the difficulty of the road, the carriage broke the axle in the middle of the road, Cao Ziguang was a little speechless, there are still five miles away from Suzhou City, it is dark this day, Lao Tzu walked back and suffered.
The coachman who pulled the work was also helpless, so he had to ask Cao Ziguang to get out of the car, and Cao Ziguang saw that it was not easy for him, so he paid the silver for the return trip as usual and walked back to the city alone.
In winter, it gets dark very quickly, and you can't walk a mile, and the surroundings are already pitch black, this barren mountain and wild mountains, the cool breeze is swishing, and it is really a little crazy, Cao Ziguang shrunk his neck and inserted it into a path.
Don't think that the road is safe, in fact, the darker it is, the safer it is to walk in the more hidden places, because no one goes, the possibility of ambushes by robbers will also be reduced, Cao Ziguang does not know martial arts, if he encounters a gangster, he really can't subdue the other party.
However, this path was not right, walking in front of him turned out to be a small forest, this does not seem to be the way back to Suzhou, Cao Ziguang was a little lost, was about to return the same way, but saw a figure flying in front of him, startled him quickly climbed behind the stones on the side of the road.
