Chapter 34 [Intention]
Now that she lives next door to Yao's house, and there are servants at home, it is easy to rectify some food, but she listened to Aunt Qi who stayed behind, and Erniang took Granny Jia to the old store early in the morning, and the old man led people back to the west of the city to move.
In the dining room, after the two brothers sat down, Gongsun Zheng took out a stack of money from the poster bag on his body and said: "Last night, this old man Cao invited a certain person to a banquet, and took 500 official money as a thank you gift, so he wanted to recruit a certain family to be his doorman, and he looked down on people. â
This money is also known as official money, which was originally used by the imperial court to replace Jiaozi who has been rotten in the market, but who knows that the rotten market speed of Qian Yin is faster than Jiaozi, and now these 500 Qian Yin can be used at most to exchange for a hundred copper coins in the official money shop, but it is not necessary to give it in exchange, if it is taken to a private money shop, it will be lower.
In the first year of Daguan (1107), the Song court decreed that "Jiaozi" should be changed to "Qian Yin", and "Jiaozi Affairs" should be changed to "Qian Yinwu". Except for Sichuan, Fujian, Zhejiang, Huguang and other places that still use "Jiaozi", other roads have changed to "Qian Yin". Later, Sichuan also changed Jiaozi to Qian Yin in the third year of Daguan (1109).
The biggest difference between "Qian Yin" and "Jiaozi" is that it takes "įž" as a unit, but the paper, printing, drawings and seals of "Qian Yin" are very good, and the original intention is to attract people to use, but "Qian Yin" does not place banknotes, does not allow exchange, and is issued at will, so the value of paper coupons has fallen by more than 50% in a few years.
Saying that, Gongsun Zheng smiled, but said to the scalper: "I heard that last night Boss Cao thanked you for the full silver, and there is a set of Bianliang pen and ink worth at least 100 yuan?" â
The scalper sighed, but he didn't know how to answer, but he thought that Master Cao gave him silver, and he should have seen his uncle's face, but if he wanted to sincerely recruit his senior brother, it would be too unwise to take money to lead the way.
Gongsun Zheng didn't know what the scalper thought, and after collecting the money, he said: "Now, the whereabouts of the senior brother are also exposed, and the family affairs are over, but the affairs of Huanghuadang have not ended, so the senior brother decided to live in the junior brother's house in the future, firstly, to save the money for accommodation and wine in the hotel, and secondly, to give the junior brother a guide to the martial arts." Do you know that the senior brother saw that you were on the Tao of Yu Ba'er that day, and thought that you were deliberately showing weakness, who would want to check quietly later to find out that you really fell on the Tao? On weekdays, I see you getting up early every day to stay up and stay up, and you are also decent to play the snake stick method, but it makes the senior brother speechless! â
The scalper's face was embarrassed and ugly when he heard this, and he also understood why the senior brother didn't mention personal protection, and hurriedly said: "Good thing! Great thing! I bury my head in stupid practice every day, and I lack someone to guide me, so my brother will stay! â
Gongsun Zheng nodded and laughed, but said, "Come again, it's the senior brother who wants to ask you, what are the plans of the junior brother in the future?" â
"Intended?" The scalper was stunned when he listened, what he planned or not, and he couldn't understand what Gongsun Zheng meant.
"What do you want to do in the future?" Gongsun Zheng saw the confusion on the scalper's face, and also showed a solemn expression and said, "Could it be that the junior brother doesn't have some long-term ideas?" â
"Long-term thinking?" The scalper was still confused, but he also roughly understood, and thought about it: "Don't hide it from Senior Brother, it's really not." What I'm thinking about right now is to take the county exam after entering school and give my parents face. â
Gongsun Zheng was stunned for a moment and asked? "That'...... What happens after passing the prefectural exam? Going to the examination institute again? Township test? Try? Temple exam? Bo a Donghua Gate roll call? â
"Hey, hey! Donghuamen's roll call is one in ten thousand, but I dare not think about it! The scalper smirked when he heard this, scratched his head and said, "I thought, how can I say that I can also take the exam?" â
"Ahem!" Gongsun Zheng coughed, sighed, and then asked, "Okay! If you can be admitted, it is also the creation of the junior and disciple, but what if you can't pass the exam? Do you have any other plans? â
The scalper thought for a while and said: "I also know that it is difficult to take the exam, so I also thought of a way out, which is to take care of the family's industry and be filial to my father and mother." â
Gongsun Zheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "This is your plan?" â
"How else?" The scalper didn't know what was wrong with this, and it was right to think that Gongsun Zheng had some misunderstandings, so he said with interest: "Senior brother doesn't know, a few days ago I remembered a few kinds of food that I learned from my master, so I taught it to my mother, one is a snack called preserved eggs, and the other is a staple food called ramen. I still have the idea, which is to open a lot of semicolons and make the family business bigger. â
Gongsun Zheng looked dazed, so he asked, "Then what?" â
The scalper naturally said: "Then...... It is to sell land and property, buy a family business, marry a few more ladies to honor their fathers and mothers, and open up branches and leaves for the old Huang family...... By the way, if the master is willing to come to Huangzhou in the future, I will also support him. It's the senior brother, if you also like Huangzhou, when I make money, I will build a Taoist temple in the city and let the senior brother be the abbot, okay? â
"Ahem! The old mother is still in Jixian County, and she still has to go home to serve the old mother, but she doesn't dare to come to the abbot of Huangzhou. Gongsun Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, but asked, "Senior brother, have you really forgotten the past?" â
The scalper's heart moved, so he patted his head and said, "Senior brother is talking about such a past?" Could it be that I just said it to my senior brother? â
Gongsun Zheng thought about it, but when he was about to speak, Aunt Qi brought wine and food, and immediately the two of them didn't talk much to eat and drink, and after three rounds of wine, Gongsun Zheng got up and closed the door of the dining room, and said to the scalper with a straight face: "Senior brother, do you want to hear the causes and consequences of your amnesia?" â
The scalper was shocked, but he didn't dare to show it, so he could only pretend to be curious: "Could it be that Senior Brother knows the origin of my illness?" â
Gongsun Zheng immediately nodded and said, "Not bad!" Didn't you say that before May, your master came to Erxian Mountain and talked with the master of a certain family for a day and a night? The matter of this talk is related to the junior brother, otherwise a certain family would not have been sent to Huangzhou to take care of the junior brother. â
The scalper was apprehensive, but he also said in his heart No matter what, if it weren't for Gongsun Zheng coming to take care of him, I'm afraid that this time the matter would not be so easy to end, even if he burned the passenger ship that day, how could he escape the pursuit of the thief?
Immediately, the scalper didn't speak, and listened to Gongsun Zheng continue: "The secret of this, the master and a certain family said a thing or two, saying that by chance, there was a god in the upper realm who possessed the body of the junior brother, but because he couldn't give it up, his soul was scattered. â
After Gongsun Zheng finished speaking, he deliberately came to see the scalper's reaction, only to feel that the scalper looked sluggish, and there seemed to be nothing suspicious, so he continued: "The god couldn't give up, but he also entrusted the dream to the junior brother, and said a lot of heavenly opportunities, and the junior brother also told the heavenly machines to Uncle Zhu. Among them, the most astonishing heavenly opportunity is that not long after, the Jurchen, a vassal of Northern Liao, will destroy the Liao State and the Great Song Dynasty. The capital of the Great Song Dynasty, Tokyo Bianliang, fell, and the imperial court moved south to Lin'an, called the Southern Song Dynasty, and ruled by dividing the river with the Jin State. A hundred years after Xiang'an, another Hu people arose on the grassland, the country was called Dayuan, first destroyed the Jin Kingdom, and then destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, saying that 40,000 Song people died. The decisive battle of the Great Yuan to destroy the Song Dynasty was in Yashan in Gangzhou, when the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty did not want to surrender the Yuan people, so the monarchs and ministers committed suicide by throwing stones into the sea together with the people, a full of more than 300,000 people! Floating corpses are in the sea, and the fish are crying for thousands of days! â
The scalper is also churning in his mind at the moment, these words came from his mouth, of course he remembered, but what he was afraid of was not the meaning of these words, but what Gongsun Zheng wanted, wasn't the "ghost" already scattered and wiped out?
