Chapter 8: Attack on Li Yu
Maybe it's related to the people and things that I first came into contact with after crossing over?
Li Yu felt that if he had traveled into the family, or even the scholars of the Han family, he was afraid that what he saw now would be a different landscape. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info try their best to apprentice, seek the opportunity to become famous, find a way to raise filial piety, and then become a leader or something.
It's a pity that what he came into contact with was the people of Wuyue who were even more difficult than the people of the Central Plains. It is true that there are many mountain people or barbarians who have only started planning in the past hundred years, but after three consecutive generations of sinicization, they are already Han according to conventional terms.
However, in fact, such existences like this, such as the Sinicized Qiang, Xiongnu, Dongyi (Korean) and Yue people, and even the Nanzhongman and Wuxi people are very low. Not only did they have to endure heavier work, but they could only get a thinner salary, pay heavier taxes and labor, and the key point was that under the constant propaganda of the family, their status was even lower than that of ordinary people.
On the contrary, those people who are also oppressed, perhaps less than the upper but more than the lower, naturally vent their grievances and dissatisfaction on these Yue and mountain people, further deteriorating the relationship between the two sides.
What makes people speechless is that the imperial court is actively sinicizing these new vassals, but the family is constantly promoting the barbarian barbarism and ferocity. In the final analysis, the positions and interests of both sides determine the mode of action of the two.
So what is Li Yu's position?
The family will not recognize him as a black family at all, and he doesn't even have any background at all, and taking the top-down route will not work at all. After that kind of crossing, the traversers who directly find the family are all brave! Because in reality, even if he has peerless strategy and unparalleled bravery, the difference in identity determines that his fate is to be beaten out of the door by others.
The principle is very simple, there are so many places for officials, and the poor family and the family are all grabbing it, an existence that is not even a cold family, what qualifications do you have to grab it with them? It has nothing to do with ability, position and interests determine the result!
There is no way to go from the top down, so the rest is naturally from the bottom up!
Li Yu hadn't rested well all night, he was planning how to fool Zu Heng and even the millions of mountain people in the Wuyue region to get on his thief ship. After thinking about it, it is really time to take the road of revolution! At the moment their minds are completely blank, and it is easy to dye the color, and how to apply it is entirely up to him!
"Brother, can you help sell something?" The next day, Li Yu, who was full of exhaustion, handed Zu Heng a glass bead.
This thing is about the size of ginkgo, but it is very transparent, and it is completely different from those so-called glasses. Zu Heng is a big boss, but he can also understand that this thing is very valuable!
"This is ......" Zu Heng looked at Li Yu with glass beads like this.
"The only salute I carried on my body, my father said before he passed away, with this, I can live a lifetime if I save a little." Li Yu said with some nostalgia, in order to show this sad feeling, he had rehearsed for a long time.
Zu Heng didn't deny it when he heard this, after all, it was not a problem for this thing to sell for three or five thousand. With the land price in the Wuyue area, not to mention the land that has been reclaimed, if you just buy land, you can buy hundreds of acres for 2,000 yuan. Build another house, buy a few house slaves, reclaim the world, save some and rely on renting land to live, and you can live comfortably for a lifetime!
Of course, the premise is that the government and the family will not embezzle ...... In Li Yu's case, I am afraid that this kind of thing cannot be avoided!
"I can find a shopkeeper to find a way to deal with it, this thing may not be available in large households, and that guy doesn't dare to lower the price too low!" Zu Heng nodded and replied.
"So there is Brother Lao!" Li Yu had already decided to break into Zuheng's village and use this place as his initial base. In this way, he naturally corrected his attitude, first substituted himself into the identity of Mr. Teaching, and then approached Zu Hengtao.
"By the way, sir, isn't your attitude a bit of a big change?" The villager next to him couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I've already decided, I'm going to stay in the village from now on!" Li Yu smiled and replied. He doesn't need to be afraid of offending people, scholars naturally want to be famous, and they want to soar. To say that he suddenly burst into the feelings of the Virgin Mary, and was willing to dedicate his life to the people of the village...... How to listen and how to feel suspicious!
"Hahaha, our village is the most welcoming gentleman! My ancestor Heng hereby declares that in the future, my husband will be second only to me in the village! Zu Heng was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately announced.
This is a scholar, and he is also a scholar who understands the art of war and strategy, and if he is willing to stay in the village, he will naturally not be just a scholar, and even become their mastermind. Others have this awareness, and Zu Heng naturally wants to give Corporal Lixian.
The ancestral family used to be a branch of the ancestral family in Xiapi a few generations ago, and later moved south to Lingyang. It is precisely because he was originally a child of a family that Zu Heng will understand many things that ordinary mountain people do not understand, and he also understands the importance of culture more than them!
"Thanks to the village chief's love!" Since he is planning to break into the interior, Li Yu naturally has to correct his identity.
"Haha, don't be like this, just continue to call a certain ancestral brother, and I will call you a virtuous brother in the future!" Zu Heng laughed.
That's all there is to it, and the next thing is naturally how to sell it. Zu Heng was familiar with Shopkeeper Zhang, and when he learned that this was Li Yu's heirloom, Shopkeeper Zhang was also a little interested.
When the beads were started, they couldn't take their eyes off them immediately, and finally gritted their teeth and gave a high price of 3,000 yuan. His highest authority is 6,000 yuan, but if he can lower the price, he will naturally suppress it!
Zu Heng knew that this was not the bottom limit, but he bargained with him, and the final price was 3,600 yuan. At this point, the shopkeeper Zhang has refused to raise the price, and Zu Heng is also a human spirit, so he knows this very well, so he made a deal at this price.
So much money, naturally it is impossible to take it out directly, it has always been a thousand five-baht coins, and how heavy is it to have more than three thousand five-baht coins? The shopkeeper just took out three copper chips and gave them to Li Yu, telling him to go to the administrative office of Wu County or several surrounding counties, where there was a money cabinet opened by the Zhang family, where he could exchange silver money.
The so-called money cabinet is actually the predecessor of the money bank, which existed in the Han Dynasty. It's just that later, the five chaos were chaotic, and the city changed the king's flag, and the cash cabinet naturally couldn't be opened. appeared again as a money village, which was already in the Tang and Song dynasties, and was officially formed in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
The other 600 guan was opened for direct exchange, and could even be exchanged for red gold and silver of equal value. Of course, the so-called red gold here is not the kind of refined gold, but refers to brass in general. During the Han Dynasty, brass was also the main precious metal currency.
"The little brother just came to the village, and there is nothing to buy, these six hundred guan can be regarded as a meeting gift for the village!" Zu Heng planned to hand over the money to Li Yu, but Li Yu didn't take it, but said with a smile.
"Isn't that too precious?" With such a large sum of money, it is naturally impossible for Zu Heng to accept it.
"It doesn't matter, after all, Li is also a member of the village now! Doesn't the village chief want the village to prosper? Li Yu said meaningfully, of course, it can also be said that he is expressing his ambition to Zu Heng.
"In this way, Zu is disrespectful!" Zu Heng quickly reacted and bowed.
The people around were confused, only the shopkeeper looked at Li Yu meaningfully. He suddenly felt that this bearded man did not seem to be simple. It's just that he has a good quality, so naturally he won't talk much, and Zu Heng may not be able to listen to it.
